Zhan Chen, who escaped from Huangshi Town, quickly rushed back to Qingxu Jade Peak, at first he was still a little worried in his heart, because as the supreme commander of the defenders of Huangshi Town, not only did he not hold the town, but also escaped alone, no matter how it is said, it is a very shameful thing, but this time it is indeed the army of the ant clan that is too strong, he and all the people have done their best, but they are still unable to return to the sky.

At first, he was thinking about how to report to Wu Zhihe in order to reduce his guilt. But as he passed through the cities along the route, he learned that they weren't the only ones in Yellowstone Town, as he saw that all the towns along the way had been trampled and destroyed by the abominable monsters.

In this way, Zhan Chen's mood became even heavier, it seemed that the scale and scope of the beast tide attack this time were unprecedented, he was very worried about the headquarters of the Daning Kingdom, Qingxu Jade City, although there were still 100,000 of the most elite standing troops stationed there, and there were many martial emperor powerhouses guarding, but it was not known whether they could withstand the attack of the beast tide.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace again, and when he arrived at the foot of Qingxu Jade Peak, what he saw was a full of low-level demon beasts, continuing to rise along the steep mountain road, rushing towards the giant city at the top of the peak.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "It seems that Qingxu Jade City is still in the hands of our human race, so it's good!"

Because in his opinion, although there are many low-level demon beasts, their spiritual intelligence is very low, their destructiveness is very weak, and they can't even leave traces on the strong city walls, and they look chaotic when attacking, and without high-level demon beasts for unified scheduling, they can only become a live target for the defenders.

So Zhan Chen no longer hesitated, and climbed up along the steps, and some demon beasts that didn't have long eyes came to attack him, but they were all dropped by him with a sword.

In this way, Zhan Chen successfully rushed to the bottom of the city wall, only to see that all kinds of demon beasts had already piled up under the hundred-meter city wall, all of which were struggling to collide with the city wall or trying to climb.

However, the city wall of Qingxu Jade Peak was unusually strong, how could those low-level demon beasts easily destroy it? The city wall of Qingxu Jade Peak was as smooth as a mirror, how could it be so easy to climb? Therefore, no matter how hard those demon beasts tried, they couldn't help the city wall in the slightest.

At the same time, a rain of arrows poured down from the top of the city wall, killing a large number of demon beasts all the time.

Seeing this, Zhan Chen was relieved, so he no longer hesitated, and jumped upwards gently, and the hundred-meter city wall was just waiting for leisure.

The defenders at the head of the city were attacking the demon beasts below, and suddenly saw a figure jumping up, they were all startled, and they all picked up their weapons to guard against them, and looked at them fixedly, but they were overjoyed, and told each other: "It's okay, it's your own people!"

Zhan Chen asked one of them, "May I ask who is the supreme commander here?"

The man replied: "Senior, you are asking about Zhao Dutong, he is now sitting in the City Lord's Mansion, I see that you should have escaped from the attack of the beast tide." ”

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

"Then you hurry up and report, these days there are many people who have fled back one after another, and the attack of the demon beasts on us is becoming more and more fierce day by day, I expect that in a few days, their large army should be killed, and I don't know if I can survive this catastrophe myself." ”

Zhan Chen smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, you will definitely do it." ”

Coming down from the city wall, Zhan Chen came to the city lord's mansion as instructed, but was stopped by the guards at the door: "Senior, I'm sorry, you are not allowed to trespass on important military places." ”

Zhan Chen straightened his sleeves and said to them: "Please go in and report it, just say that I am Zhan Chen, an elder of the Xuandao Sect, and I have come to meet Commander Zhao." ”

As soon as the guards heard the five big words "Elder of the Xuandao Sect", they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned into the building to report.

After a while, Zhan Chen was led in, and he saw three generals dressed in the uniforms of the Daning State who were discussing nervously in front of a city defense map, and the person at the head had gray hair, and he had the cultivation of Emperor Wu's Great Perfection, so he must be the commander of Qingxu Jade City-Zhao Xun.

Zhan Chen stepped forward and saluted: "In the next Zhan Chen, meet Commander Zhao!"

Only then did Zhao Xun raise his head, look at Zhan Chen, a look of joy flashed on his face, and said, "Elder Zhan, I heard that you came back from outside the city. ”

Zhan Chen sighed: "Yes, I was ordered to guard Huangshi Town, but unfortunately I had no choice but to abandon it when I encountered the beast tide, and I escaped with my life, which is really a great trust from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Elder Wu Zhihe." ”

"Elder Zhan don't have to worry, this beast tide is menacing, we were caught off guard, and it is already a blessing to be able to escape with our lives, and now I am in the Void Jade City is the time to employ people, and I hope that Elder Zhan can work tirelessly to guard the base camp of this western land for us. ”

"Commander Zhao dares to disobey his orders? Since I have joined the Daning National Army, I should contribute to the defense of the city. ”

"Okay! Just wait for your words, I will immediately appoint you as the commander of the fifth battalion of the Xinrui Battalion!" Zhao Xun said as he came to the table on the side, immediately drafted a letter of appointment, stamped his own seal, and then handed it to Zhan Chen, and said: "The Xinrui Battalion is a force that we have formed by collecting the defenders who have fled back from all over the country, and I will hand over these people from the fifth battalion to you!"

"I will not disgrace my mission!" Zhan Chen took the letter of appointment and said solemnly.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Zhan Chen quickly rushed to the Xinrui Battalion, the Xinrui Battalion camp is in the dormitory area on the southeast side of the city, where the warriors who survived the attack of the beast tide from all over the country and fled back, they have all lost their original establishment, and here they are re-formed by the garrison of Qingxu Jade City, becoming a new force for defending the city, and the Xinrui Battalion has now concentrated six battalions, nearly 7,000 troops.

Zhan Chen showed Zhao Xun's handwritten letter of appointment to the supervisor there, and he was led to the location of the dormitory building of the fifth battalion of the Xinrui Battalion. The messenger who came with him stood in front of the building and shouted loudly inside: "Listen, everyone in the fifth battalion, your battalion commander is here, please come here quickly and concentrate!"

One after another, people walked out of their respective rooms and gathered in front of the building, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all the people were in place, and Zhan Chen saw that there were more than 1,000 people at a glance! Most of their cultivation was below the Martial King, and only 23 people had reached the Martial King or above, and there were no Martial Emperor powerhouses.

The messenger introduced to them: "Everyone listen, standing in front of you is the new battalion commander of your battalion - Zhan Chenzhan battalion commander, he is the elder of the Xuandao Sect, the powerhouse of the first rank of Emperor Wu, in the future, you will all contribute to the city defense battle under his leadership, do you understand?"

"Understood!" all the people in the five battalions said in unison, they were all very excited, and they were talking a lot, being able to participate in the battle under the leadership of a Martial Emperor powerhouse, the chances of survival would undoubtedly increase a lot, because these people knew the most in their hearts the terrible beast tide.

"Next, I would like to ask the battalion commander to give a lecture. After the messenger said this, he turned to Zhan Chen and said, "Elder Zhan, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

Zhan Chen nodded, and the messenger turned around and went back to his life.

In the following days, Zhan Chen spent his time training the more than 1,000 people in the fifth battalion. At the same time, he himself is also learning, it turns out that in addition to being disciplined and obeying the dispatch, the city defense army must also master an important skill, that is, how to skillfully use the city defense equipment, and the most important of them is archery.

Different warriors were assigned different bows, and these bows were equipped with different arrows. For example, the bow allocated to Zhan Chen is the highest specification suitable for the Jiaolong bow used by Emperor Wu, and it takes a martial artist with a strength of 200,000 jin to pull it open, and with enough arrows made of pure silver pith, it can easily penetrate the flesh of a seventh-order demon beast!

The pure silver pith is the material of the eighth-level beginner training weapon, but it is the main material for building the emperor's weapon, and the arrow is a large consumer of war, so it can be seen how much yuan stone it costs to fight such a battle!

After a few days of training, even Zhan Chen had to admire the power of this dragon bow, and he felt a lot of regret in his heart: if he had such a strong bow and crossbow in Yellowstone Town, maybe he would have been able to shoot those four damn bloodthirsty golden ants one by one!

But if it is if, what is gone can never come back.

In addition to bows and arrows, there are many defensive tools in Qingxu Jade City. For example, the giant catapult is another powerful strike tool, it must be operated by at least several martial kings, and it can throw tens of thousands of catties of boulders at a time, which has a huge destructive power against a certain density of medium and low-level demon beasts.

For example, the poison cloud cannon is another terrible weapon, they are installed on the high city wall, through the spirit array engraved on the cannon body, the cannonball can be hit far away, the cannonball used in this weapon is a special poison gas bomb refined by a senior alchemist, which has a fatal killing effect on living creatures, and the demon beasts below the seventh order can not resist this poisonous gas.

Of course, the poison cloud cannon also has a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot be used at close range, and when it is used, it is necessary to constantly observe the change of wind direction, if the wind blows the poison gas back, it is not good.

In addition, Zhan Chen faintly heard a rumor, it is said that there is a more powerful secret weapon in this Qingxu Jade City, this weapon will only be used when the main city reaches the critical time of life and death, except for a few high-level people such as Du Tong who know about this weapon, others don't know what it is or where it is.

And at present, all Zhan Chen and his subordinates can do is to work hard to master these weapons to defend the city, and at the same time, in the process of training, they are becoming more and more confident in defending the city, with so many troops and such powerful weapons to defend the city, do they still need to be afraid of any beast tide?

But is it really as simple as they imagined? Seeing that the demon clan army is gathering day by day under the Qingxu Jade Peak, the moment of decisive battle is also approaching.
