Five kinds of medicine in another world

When Xiao Yao saw the demon army retreat, the worry in his heart finally fell. But when he saw Gu Shijiu injured and falling to the ground, he immediately flew over, supported her, and asked with concern:

"Nineteen, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Gu Nineteen smiled slightly, shook his head and said:

"I'm fine, just some minor injuries, nothing serious. This time, thanks to Master Luo for arriving in time, otherwise we might be in danger." His eyes were full of gratitude.

Xiao Yao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and quickly said:

"That's good, that's good. Luo Yong, you came just in time. You are really our savior!"

At this time, Gu Shijiu suddenly remembered something and turned to Luo Yong and said:

"Master Luo, where have you been all these years? We haven't heard from you for a long time. The last time Sister Hongling mentioned you to me, she was very sad."

Gu Shijiu said this with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Master Luo showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, scratched his head and said:

"I've had some adventures over the years, and I've been absorbing some things recently, so I haven't had time to go out. In fact, I missed everyone very much, and I just happened to come out of retreat when I heard the news of the demon invasion, so I hurried over to help."

Gu Shijiu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After all, everyone has their own adventures, so don’t be envious, and asking too much will make you seem impolite.

"Let's retreat to Demon Suppression County first. The demon clan suffered heavy losses this time, and our losses are also quite large..."

Gu Shijiu sighed softly, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness and fatigue.

Xiao Yao seemed quite optimistic. He chuckled and comforted:

"We survived this time. I guess we will take the initiative to attack the demons in the next battle! The demons seem to be at the end of their strength. We have finally managed to hold on to the Demon Suppression County!"

However, after hearing Xiao Yao's words, Gu Shijiu just smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed softly:

"Actually... it can't be defended."

"Why?"

Xiao Yao asked with a puzzled look on his face when he heard this. In his eyes, the Demon Suppression County had clearly successfully resisted the attack of the demons, so how could it not be able to hold on? Could there be some other variables?

Facing Xiao Yao's question, Gu Shijiu was silent for a moment, then slowly explained:

"Although the demons have suffered a heavy blow this time, their foundation is still there. Moreover, after this defeat, they will definitely learn a lesson and make a comeback. By then, it is hard to say whether we can still withstand their attack."

Luo Yong also smiled and said:

"The Demon Tribe's advantage is not in high-end combat power. For some reason, so many Demon Saints appeared in the Demon Tribe this time, which made them swell up. They want to defeat us with high-end combat power. It's ridiculous."

"But once they figure out the key, and charge with the demon army and use human wave tactics, we saints won't be able to do much."

After listening to Gu Shijiu and Luo Yong's words, Xiao Yao frowned, thought for a moment and then said:

"So what should we do now? We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

Gu Shijiu took a deep breath, looked into the distance with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice:

"All we can do now is to strengthen our defenses and hold out until help arrives. We can send all the people in the city to the rear and transform the front into a huge battlefield. The longer we hold out, the higher our chances of winning."

Luo Yong, Zhao Tianran and others nodded, all in favor of Gu Shijiu's plan.

Gongsun Wen, who was standing by, finally couldn't help it anymore and spoke softly:

"Everyone, can you see my father's remains?"

Xiao Wuming stood up, shook his head with a sad face and said:

"The regret of County Magistrate Gongsun is that he was taken away by those demon cubs. The demons rely on the essence of corpses to cultivate. Even the corpses of the two demon saints killed by Nineteen and Luo Yong this time were taken away by the demons."

Gongsun Wen didn't hold out much hope in the first place, because he knew the temperament of the demons. Now that he had gotten the answer, he just retreated silently.

Everyone sighed. After all, the death of a saint was a big deal, especially the saintly background of the royal family. Now Emperor Yangtian must be going crazy after receiving the news.

Gu Nineteen stood up and said softly:

"The dead are gone, so we should just mourn for them. However, we should not only mourn for ourselves, but also for those demon cubs. We cannot lose this battle, and we must beat those demon cubs to the bone!"

"Great Elder Xiao Yao, pass on my order. The Hengdao County Branch Office and the Hengdao Escort Agency Headquarters must send at least half of their troops from each location, led by a 7th-rank resident, to Zhenmo County as quickly as possible. There must be no mistakes!"

Xiao Yao nodded to show that he understood.

"Governor Gongsun, Governor Yuwen, lead the demon-suppressing army and the immortal-suppressing army to reinforce the city defenses. We are counting on you."

Gongsun Wen and Yuwen Nuo nodded and began to build with their soldiers.

"Disperse everyone. After such a great battle, it's time to take a good rest."

Gu Nineteen said softly.

Now Gu Shijiu didn't realize that he had unknowingly begun to command the overall situation. Even saints like Xiao Wuming and Zhao Tianran had already obeyed his orders and acted before they could even react.

……

The atmosphere in the demon camp was somewhat depressing.

After all, this was the second attack by the demons, and not only did they lose soldiers and generals, but they also lost two demon saints.

The only achievement that could be counted as the victory was the killing of a saint.

Xiao Cangtian sat on the main seat, with his hands on his forehead, thinking silently.

He was thinking about why he lost.

Is it really true that those who are in the right will have many supporters while those who are in the wrong will have few?

Xiao Cangtian was a little depressed. He had clearly calculated a lot, so why did he still lose?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came into his mind, but this flash of inspiration was as slippery as a loach, making it elusive.

Xiao Cangtian turned to look at Wule Demon Saint, with curiosity glittering in his eyes, and asked:

"In the past, how did you counterattack the human race?"

The Joyless Demon Saint frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied softly:

"We usually adopt the magic sea tactics. Although we cannot completely defeat the human race every time, we can at least capture a few county cities."

There was a hint of helplessness and reluctance in his voice, and he seemed dissatisfied with the result.

Xiao Cangtian nodded to show his understanding.

Although this tactic of winning by numbers is effective, it also has certain limitations. After all, the human race has strong fortifications and a tenacious spirit of resistance, and it is not easy to win by relying solely on the magic sea tactics.

"Magic Sea Tactics!"

"Hahaha, I figured it out."

Xiao Cangtian suddenly laughed.

"What did you think of?"

The Demon Saint Wu Le asked curiously.

"Our high-end combat power is not strong, just like our weaknesses. Even if we enhance them, they will not be stronger than humans. Why should we use our weaknesses to compare with the advantages of humans?"

"what do you mean?"

The Demon Saint Wu Le also thought of something and asked quickly.

"Magic Sea Tactics!"

The Demon Saint Wu Le and Xiao Cang Tian shouted at the same time.
