Seeing Ma Xing leave, Mo Xiaobai immediately began to inspect Fubo Fortress.

Although the entire fortress has been cleaned, traces of the battle can still be seen in many places. The outer walls of the fortress, which stood on a steep cliff, were covered with blood stains that could not be erased.

"My lord, there were one after another big battles in the fortress before, and the consumption of materials was extremely serious."

Li Guang walked over at this time, and pointed with his right hand to the entire high-walled defense line of the fortress: "There are three material warehouses that are empty, and the storage of rolling logs and arrows in the rest of the warehouses is also extremely unoptimistic. ”

"I know, while the situation is safe, I will transfer two thousand soldiers to chop wood and carry rolling stones nearby. In addition, we have at least five or six kilometers of defense in this section of the city, and we will first send 4,000 soldiers to guard it. Mo Xiaobai nodded slightly and immediately ordered.

The blood stains on the head of the city and the materials that could not be replenished in time after consumption are enough to show how fierce the battle of the Tiger Ben soldiers was before, although Mo Xiaobai did not doubt whether his choice was right or wrong at the moment, but he was also vigilant in his heart.

In terms of the surrounding terrain and the climbing ability of many evil beasts, the scope of a small fortress to be guarded is really a bit wide, in case a large number of evil beasts come, the ten thousand people led by him may have to be scattered in less than two days.

"Evil beasts have their own rules, why would they attack a fortress so far from the center of the rift?" While looking at the terrain of the entire battlefield, Mo Xiaobai had an unanswerable question in his heart.

Barren cracks!

It's not so much a crack as a closed passage that has been torn out.

The closed passage connects the lord's plane to the barren abyss, and every time a hole is torn open, a crack in the surface is formed.

Futu City was built to guard the cracks on the surface, stretching straight down from where Futu City is, you can reach where the cracks are, and if the evil beast wants to rush into the lord plane, the most direct way is to break through Futu City. As for the surrounding fortresses, they have all played the role of encircling the fish that have slipped through the net before, and they have never become the main battlefield.

Now the beasts are suddenly assembling under the fortress, what is the reason?

Did you open up after fighting dozens or hundreds of big men?

Knowing that Futu City can't be broken, choose a soft persimmon to pinch?

But the defenders of Futu City are not rice buckets, and the movement in the cracks below is too big, so they will definitely know.

"According to the words of the great general in Futu City before, it is likely that he did not know in advance that Fubo Fortress would become the target of evil beasts."

"In other words, those evil beasts that stormed the Fubo Fortress were conjured out of thin air?"

How can it be!

Mo Xiaobai shook his head, and finally locked his gaze on the dark fog below the cliff.

"If there is a sudden beast attack, is it because the rift here is stretching?" A possibility came to mind, and Mo Xiaobai couldn't help but look solemn.

Cracks from scratch is a process of change.

However, with the change over time, the central crack is also likely to extend in a leap and bound.

In other words, there are also barren cracks under the Fubo Fortress!

"If that's the case, it's a big deal, and we have to find out." Touching his chin and thinking about this question, but as soon as the word 'probe' flashed through his mind, Mo Xiaobai thought of another thing.

Just now, he and Ma Xing promised to come.

Never leave the fortress easily.

"Something is wrong, it's so weird."

Mo Xiaobai's contemplative expression gradually turned into incomprehensible, because if Ma Xing had similar thoughts to himself, he would have to tell himself the specific situation if he went down to investigate.

But Ma Xing only let himself stay in the fortress, and did not say anything else.

"At present, everything that can be affirmed is that Ma Xing must have gone out to investigate!"

Mo Xiaobai shook his head, let himself withdraw from his thoughts, and immediately beckoned Pang De: "Ling Ming, you immediately go after the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General who just left, and ask him what he has discovered." ”

"Whoa!" Pound nodded in response to a fist, and then walked briskly down the fortress wall.

Li Guang followed Mo Xiaobai's side, and asked at the moment: "Lord, could it be that the surnamed Ma deliberately concealed something just now?" ”

"I don't know, come with me to the tent and review the map." Mo Xiaobai didn't make up his mind easily, after all, he and the Ma family had no grievances or enmities, and Ma Xing couldn't make a stumbling block in secret.

Waiting for Mo Xiaobai to retrieve the map, he began to compare it with the extension of the crack in his memory. On the other side, Pang De, who was galloping after the Tiger Legion, also caught up with Ma Xing half an hour after leaving.

After hearing Pang De's intention, Ma Xing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "It is worthy of being the general of Zhenbei, even if it is the first time to come, I have a deep understanding of things here." It's true that I didn't tell you everything, but it's not that I didn't say it, it's that I didn't find anything. ”

"My wound was caused by being besieged by evil beasts when I went out of the city to investigate, at first I guessed the same as General Zhenbei, but I fought in the dense fog below for two nights, and I couldn't find a single sign of the existence of cracks. Some were just black mist that permeated from the cracks under the Futu City. ”

"I lost 2,000 brothers in that battle to get my life back, but I didn't get anything. So no matter what happens below, these are not something that General Zhenbei and I can handle, and I believe that the general will make arrangements. You go back and tell your lord that you must hold the fortress well, and only by taking advantage of the fortress can we have the capital to compete with the evil beasts. ”

Ma Xing said so, and after Pang De returned to the fortress, he conveyed it to Mo Xiaobai word for word.

Hearing Ma Xing say that he had found nothing, and once again emphasized not to leave the fortress, Mo Xiaobai couldn't help frowning: "Ling Ming, didn't you ask him about the specific situation of the battle that took place during the investigation?" It's bad news that you can eat thousands of his soldiers and horses, but it can't be said that you haven't learned anything. ”

"My lord, General Zhonglang said that when he fought with the evil beasts below, although he lost many of his subordinates, he also killed a lot of evil beasts, and then the number of evil beasts besieging them decreased significantly, which gave him a chance to live."

In the process of fighting, both sides are attrition?

It is normal for the Tiger Ben Legion to attrition, after all, the total number of soldiers and horses in this army is so small, and it is impossible for Ma Xing to take them all out.

But the vicious beast also has a significant attrition, doesn't it mean that the evil beast has no follow-up troops to join the battle?

If there is indeed a stretching rift here, there will be a steady stream of evil beasts. But the fact is the opposite, so that Ma Xing will say that he has found nothing.

"In this way, the comparison diagram of the extended crack is basically consistent, what is going on?" Mo Xiaobai was a little confused, so he could only wave his hand first to let Pang De go down.

"My lord, maybe we should go and find out for ourselves." Li Guang has always been a master of art and bold, and he has done more than one or two things alone.

"The problem now is not probing, but our passive situation."

Mo Xiaobai waved his hand to veto Li Guang's proposal, and said in a condensed voice: "If the evil beast has control over the barren crack, open it if it wants to, and close it if it wants to, we will be led by the nose by them." ”
