Chapter 103: Has the front line of Tiangang City undergone a huge change?
It is already June, midsummer, and the weather is getting the front line of Tiangang City, a total of four elders came this time.
On the outskirts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the wilderness near the east side of Yunyang Sect is the area with the most monsters.
Tiangang City is slightly better than Yunyang Sect.
Although the area was not the most frequently attacked by monsters, the elders had never seen such a peaceful situation on the front line over the years.
Several elders, accompanied by the hall master, have inspected the entire defense line.
Having been in charge of Tiangang City for many years, this situation was the first time they had seen it.
During the entire process, they didn't see a single monster.
In previous years, when they came for patrol, it was common to be harassed by monsters.
And after questioning, they found out that they had not encountered any monster attacks for three consecutive days in many stages.
Several elders looked on and talked to each other.
"Thinking back to last year's situation, I feel that the stable defense line before me is a little unreal."
The Great Elder smiled and spoke.
Last year, many sects and forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty were laughing at Tiangang City because of its fatigue.
In the cold winter, even Master Shangxuan thought that there would be another fierce battle this year.
But I didn’t expect that this year would be completely different from last year.
"That's true. Last year, all of us hall masters had to go to the front lines to deal with it. It's nothing like this year."
The other elders and hall masters around also echoed.
"Did Su Chen's disciple pass on the current layout of the defense line?"
The entire front-line defense of Tiangang City has adopted the method suggested by Su Chen.
The fortifications and personnel are concentrated for defense.
A hall master nearby heard this and smiled: "It should be the method we stole from Su Chen.
After such improvements, the defensive effect is indeed much better.
And they have some other plans in mind, elders, please come and see them."
As he spoke, the hall master walked forward.
He stopped only when he reached the deliberately left hole.
“The fortifications on both sides are strong, and we deliberately left a loophole in the middle, waiting for those evil beasts to come.
As long as they dare to come, we will let them all die here.
But in recent times, these beasts have become smarter.
These loopholes are here, and no one dares to come.”
After hearing the hall master's explanation, the elders' faces were filled with smiles.
“This move of luring someone into a trap is quite clever.
It seems that we in Tiangang City haven’t had such a good time dealing with these monsters for many years.”
During this inspection at the front line, the elders basically had smiles on their faces all the time.
After looking around, several elders went to the front camp to see how the logistics of the front line of defense were going.
The hall master beside him had been sent away by them.
As they walked, several elders talked about their impressions of the front-line defense.
“In fact, when we were in the sect before, Ouyang Chuan asked us to consider advancing the front line of defense.
I didn't take it seriously at the time. I just thought that he had gained some benefits and started to feel complacent.
But now it seems that our Tiangang City's frontier defense line is indeed qualified to move forward one step."
After hearing what Master Shangxuan said, the other elders nodded and agreed with him.
This inspection of the front line has greatly changed their view of the situation on the front line.
"Did Su Chen learn these methods from the Yunyang Sect?"
Hearing this, the third elder shook his head.
“Probably not. I visited Yunyang Sect for a while before, and they didn’t have such an arrangement.
Most of them directly laid fortifications. The Yunyang Sect had advanced to the front line frequently before, and their frontline fortifications were set up very carelessly, and even ignored the defense of the fortifications. "
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder nodded.
“During this period of time, this old man has received a lot of news from the Yunyang Sect.
Their days seem to be very difficult.”
After he finished speaking, the third elder next to him also followed up.
“I’ve also heard that the Yunyang Sect has been having a hard time since the beginning of spring this year.
Not only did the front line retreat significantly, but the defense capabilities against monsters also dropped significantly.
In the past two years, there were basically no traces of monsters in Luhua City behind the Yunyang Sect.
But in recent times, monsters have often infiltrated.
After the beginning of spring this year, all the people from the Yunyang Sect who had come to reinforce other sects were withdrawn.
It seems that Yunyang Sect has encountered a big problem."
Hearing what the third elder said, the fourth elder pursed his lips and waved his hand.
"Third Elder, the information you know is not as in-depth as what I know.
The Yunyang Sect’s predicament all stems from their inability to grasp the movements of the monsters.
In the past, the most common method used by the Yunyang Sect to deal with monsters was ambush.
And they are often able to ambush successfully and kill dozens or even hundreds of monsters at a time.
Last year, Xia Kun from the Yunyang Sect came to reinforce and also wanted to use these methods.
Finally, we returned empty-handed, and he attributed it to our difficulty in tracking the monster and our lack of ability in investigating our disciples.
But after the beginning of spring this year, the Yunyang Sect's detection capabilities seemed to have collapsed.
Not only is it difficult to track the monsters in the wilderness, it is even difficult to judge their attacks.
After the spring, two batches of exploratory disciples were trained, and the results were disappointing.
The current Yunyang Sect frontline has much more problems than ours."
After hearing these words, everyone sighed.
“It may take years to climb a mountain, but it only takes a moment to fall down.”
The Great Elder sighed a little, but his brows furrowed slightly as he spoke.
"Fourth Elder, how come you know so much about the situation of Yunyang Sect?"
Hearing the first elder's questioning, the fourth elder was calm.
“In the past two years, the front line of Yunyang Sect has been extremely stable, and the front line has advanced a hundred miles.
Naturally, I wanted to find out what mysteries their sect had.
So we put someone in there.”
Upon hearing this, Master Shangxuan nodded slightly.
"Let's find a chance to withdraw. If the Yunyang Sect finds out, it will be troublesome."
The fourth elder nodded, and then he finally mentioned Su Chen when he spoke.
"In fact, I have received two more messages, but these two messages may not be so accurate.
But in the Yunyang Sect, it was spread everywhere.
The first piece of news is that it is said that on the front line of Yunyang Sect, a lot of the previous investigation information relied on Su Chen.
So after Su Chen left, huge problems arose in the exploration mission at the front line of Yunyang Sect."
Hearing what the Fourth Elder said, the elders were stunned for a moment.
The second elder at the side hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"For such a large sect, the possibility of a drastic change due to one or two disciples seems a bit low."
But the Fourth Elder added: "Second Elder, think carefully, has the front line of our Tiangang City changed drastically now?
If so, isn't it because of Su Chen's arrival that we have undergone such a huge change?"
After these words, the second elder fell silent.
