Chapter 135: Battle at the Border, the People of Xumi Are Shocked
The spring rain was falling hazily. At this moment, on the small path in the mountains, Ye Li was holding a paper umbrella and looking at the dark clouds in the sky. He felt very calm.
"It has been fifteen years since the Demon God War. Time is really unkind. However, some things are almost completed. Now we just need to wait for news from there. We should be able to completely resolve the hidden dangers."
Ye Li was thinking in his heart as he walked along the rain-soaked road towards a hill covered with quaint buildings.
At this moment, in the small courtyard of the ancient building on the top of the mountain, next to the exquisite and gorgeous stone table, Xiao was sitting on a stone chair, holding a teacup in his hand, looking at a cup of clear tea brewed with a mixture of Qingxin and tea leaves. The handsome and cold face of the young boy was filled with a hint of sadness, and his golden eyes looked at the low splashes of water when the raindrops slid down the tiles of the courtyard.
Time passed slowly, the rain falling from the sky gradually decreased, and at this moment Ye Li also came into the courtyard.
Reaching out to pull down the paper umbrella that was blocking the raindrops, Ye Li sat down opposite Xiao.
"What is the latest situation of the four border defenses? Are there other demons leading monsters to attack?"
Ye Li's golden eyes met Xiao's golden eyes. Both of them had an inexplicable momentum of not giving in to each other. Xiao just cleared his throat and said:
"The border situation has stabilized recently. According to the map of the flying agency's overseas patrol and exploration, the movements of other demon gods will not be too big in the next year. We have enough time to prepare."
As Xiao spoke, he took out a formation plate from the token. After inputting the elemental force into it, a 3D model of a large map spanning the entire Liyue and the edge of the overseas appeared in front of the two. The green and red dots on it marked the distribution of the Morax Alliance area and other demon forces.
Ye Li carefully looked at the map that was updated this year, then pointed to the territory where the demon god's subordinates in the dream once lived, and said:
"This location is very strange. The strange elemental position is very similar to the environment you lived in before. I think you should be clear about something."
A trace of fear flashed across Xiao's golden eyes, and his originally cold tone became extremely heavy:
"There is a familiar aura here. I think it must be the location of the nightmare demon's subordinates. However, they moved too quickly. When I led the flying boat to this location, they had already left."
"It seems that they have discovered many of our remaining loopholes. Otherwise, how could they react quickly and migrate in such a short time?"
"The Dream Demon God is cunning by nature, and he is good at calculating. He naturally discovered the loopholes that were set up before."
There was doubt in Xiao's tone, but he still looked at Ye Li seriously, wanting to know the answer.
"There's no need to guess. The only ones who can clear out that area of the sea in a short period of time are the united demons from the West Sea. Osel and the Dream Demon from the East Sea are the ones they are very wary of. After all, most of the demons and remnants of their forces have been assimilated by them."
Ye Li recounted the trends and patterns of various forces over the past decade, which allowed Xiao, who mainly killed on the battlefield, to understand the location and purpose of the battlefield he had entered.
"So, our main development direction now is to stockpile various materials and prepare for the subsequent long-term battlefield at sea. The islands you have conquered in the past year are all important mineral and medicinal plant cultivation sites. After all, we can't always hang around Uncle Ruotu Dragon King's Stratum Abyss Mine. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if he goes crazy and beats us up one day."
Ye Li unknowingly spoke in a speculative tone about the event that would definitely happen in the non-existent future, in which the worn-out Rhodo Dragon King would attack the mortals in the mines.
……
The sun cast its vast light, and the rainforest was extremely lively at this moment. After staying in Xumi for nearly a year, the Qianyan Army finally completed the construction of the first line of defense wall, and their efficiency was much faster than before.
Moreover, the rainforest is mountainous and lush, and the rivers, streams, giant trees and jungles are natural barriers. However, with the Qianyan Army's defense line, the defensiveness of this barrier has an additional layer of artificial traces, making it more difficult to break through.
Tinana carried a spear on her back and looked at the high wall that stretched for more than 500 miles in front of her. The shock in her heart had never stopped in the past year, and her face was really numb.
Kexuan was wearing the standard armor of the Qianyan Army. He easily picked up the Qianyan spear in his hand and carried it on his shoulder. He said in a cheerful tone:
"What's wrong, Miss Tianana? Are you shocked by our speed in the past year?"
"I'm not scared, but your efficiency is really fast. I'm impressed. I used to have a friend who was also from Liyue. He told me about some of your feats in Liyue."
"It seems that Miss Tianana has many friends. I don't know what that friend said that made you remember it so vividly." Kexuan said thoughtfully.
"I just listened to the story at first, but when I saw your efficiency with my own eyes, I realized that he was too light."
Hearing the exclamation of the long-eared girl next to him, Kexuan just smiled calmly and said:
"Actually, what he said is not wrong. It's just that our efficiency at that time was not as fast and good as it is now. We have many agencies to help us."
"Is that so? Looks like I have to finish this mission quickly and go find him in your Liyue."
"Then you are welcome to Liyue. If there is anything you don't understand, you can go to the Legal Department of the Qianyan Army, which is in charge of civil disputes, and tell me my name. You should be able to find him quickly."
"Thank you very much, Master Kexuan."
"You're welcome. We've been working together for more than a year, so we can be considered comrades-in-arms."
Just as Tinana and Kexuan were discussing some arrangements, Tinana's ears moved, and the token hanging on Kexuan's waist lit up.
The expressions of the two men turned serious at the same time. After looking at each other, they began to call on their respective people to prepare.
Tinana's side was less efficient, but the Qianyan Army led by Kexuan had already set up fixed mechanisms and thunder and fire machine guns. Their efficiency was so fast that Tinana, who had just led her men to the city wall, felt frustrated for the first time.
Before Tinana could make any move, they felt a slight vibration under their feet.
Tinana kept her ears open and her eyes instantly looked towards the desert area ahead. There, dust was rising up from trampling on the land, and the breath of countless monsters made the legs of Xumi's soldiers slightly weak.
Tianana frowned. This was the scene when she was actually facing countless monsters charging at her. Her expression had sunk to the bottom.
Just as Tianana was planning for the battle, she looked to the side and a surprising scene appeared.
Kexuan calmly gave orders to the Qianyan soldiers around him who had equally calm expressions. They each performed their duties, some set up cannons, some drew bows, and some held Qianyan spears and began to walk towards the high wall. Thousands of people were lined up in battle array, with spears in their hands attached with various elements. Their skilled appearance suddenly gave the Xumi soldiers a great sense of security, as if Morax had opened his shield to protect them.
This scene has deeply shocked all the Xumi people present, leaving them with a lasting impression. Tinana even remembered a sentence that Ye Li had once said in a joking tone.
“The weight of rock is always reassuring.”
