Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

From version 1.0 to 1.4, players cooperated with the Yunhe Army to defeat the three major forces of Fangjia Village, Tiehua Group, and Heihu Army, making it impossible for the demon side to easily defeat the defense of the Yunhe Army's northern camp through traitors.

In version 1.5, the demons officially divided into three armies to attack Yunhe Town.

Judging from the overall situation, they are unable to reach the demon army on the east side, and the demon army in the middle is being dealt with by the Yunhe Army. What they need to deal with is the demon army on the west side that is coming all the way from Camp No. 6 with great momentum.

Judging from the results, they completed the first task very successfully.

The golden half-step big demon was killed by the leader, and thousands of inferior demons and low-level demons were killed by them. The demon army on the west side was completely wiped out.

At this point, the high-end combat power of both sides is almost the same, and the low-end combat power of the demons cannot break through the defense of the three fortresses.

Then as long as we wait for Yunhe Town to deal with the affairs in the rear, and Chu Wei arrives with reinforcements, and then cooperate with them to launch a counterattack at the Yunshan River gathering place, won't the demons be defeated?

"But despite such a clear situation, the demons did not retreat. In fact, their eastern demon army remained stationed south of Yunshan Mountain."

Having said this, Jiang Qian paused for a moment, then looked at Ah Gang and Shen Xi and asked:

"Do you know why?"

At this moment, Ah An felt as if he had grasped something, and immediately replied:

"Because of this half-step great demon!"

"Correct."

Jiang Qian nodded slightly.

"This question, which has been discussed on the forum for a long time, has been answered thanks to today's intelligence."

A demon that has been lurking for who knows how long is enough to continue supporting the demon's invasion plan when the demon army on the west side is almost wiped out.

"So, I think this captain of the Yunhe Army is the key BOSS in our main storyline."

"And the western fortress is the strategic point we need to protect at this stage."

"Aono is right."

Just as Agang and Shen Xi nodded silently, a familiar voice sounded in the ears of the three again.

"I rushed back to your channel immediately after I noticed the situation," Alps said with a smile.

Because Agang and others were on their way during this period, he naturally did not stay in their voice channel.

Now that there is a new situation, it is natural to take him back as soon as possible.

"Since the captain of the western fortress is a half-step great demon, and he has been hiding until now without making any moves, it means that the demon wants more than just the western fortress."

"They might be trying to use the current intense fighting in the western fortress to deplete Yunhe's army, or they might be using some other means..."

"Kill General Yunhe!"

Chapter 418: Swear to live and die with the fortress!

"General Yunhe, as the only two Earth-level cultivators in Yunhe Town, is actually the key to this invasion."

This is a new idea that Alps has just come up with.

Of course, if they had not defended Camp No. 3 before, the demon army on the east side would have broken through their defense line, crossed Yunshan Mountain, and then killed their way into the heart of Yunhe Town.

The demon should not need to specifically deal with General Yunhe, and can win the battle with its huge military advantage and strategic depth.

But now the demon army has suffered heavy losses, and their gathering place has drawn away a large number of their troops.

Under such circumstances, if the demons still wanted to break through the northern camp of the Yunhe Army, they had only one way...

"Start with the Earth-level practitioners!" Alps' tone was very firm.

"Just one eastern fortress is completely insufficient for them. Even if they can completely destroy it, the remaining two fortresses can serve as a support for each other and keep watch over each other."

"As long as both sides have the same top-level combat power, even if there's a slight difference in the second-level combat power, once the battle line approaches one side, unless the disadvantaged side's defense personnel fall below the critical point, it will be difficult for the advantaged side to advance any further."

"This……"

"It's the war in the high martial arts world!"

In the previous Camp No. 3 battle, players relied on this theory to maintain a stalemate with the demon army on the west side for so long.

By extension, it doesn't make sense that there would be any other situation in the northern camp!

"..."

"Hmm, so this half-step great demon is hiding here..."

Tang Yi looked at the map that Chu Tianming had sent him earlier. The location of the fortress on the east side had been marked in bright red.

"So now there are two in front, one in the east, one hiding in the east fortress, and finally there's a big demon leading the team in the front."

As he spoke, several red dots representing demons were marked on the map on the big screen in front of him.

Tang Yi nodded gently, then patted the head of Shark Xiaoxing, who was listening attentively, and continued:

"Excluding this possessed captain, there are only two True Intentions left in the Yunhe Army camp, and four on the demon side. Even if I'm included, it's three against four."

"And Chu Wei can't come over now..."

Judging from the information he has received so far.

Although there were no large-scale demon attacks in other areas of Yunhe Town bordering the demon-occupied area, the demon army on the east side launched an almost devastating sweep of the territory to the north of Yunhe Town.

As a result, a large number of survivors fled to Yunhe Town during this period.

Fortunately, Yunhe Town seemed to have had a plan for this. The town government settled the entire team in the south of the city and opened the granaries to release grain, barely maintaining stability.

But the safety of these people has also become a big problem.

They are outside the city and have no protection from the city walls. When the demons come in droves, they can't just use them as cannon fodder.

As the mayor and the only earth-level cultivator in Yunhe Town, Yun Huai naturally cannot leave the city easily.

So the task of protecting those refugees fell on Chu Wei.

At present, it seems that unless the northern camp is facing a life-or-death crisis, Chu Wei will not be able to provide support.

"Then the demons have more low- and mid-range combat power than the Yunhe Army, and most of our people here are below level 20, so their impact on the battlefield is limited..."

As Tang Yi spoke, he silently touched his chin.

"The enemy is numerous and we are few, so this is our advantage."

In this situation, it is definitely not a wise choice to rush into a decisive battle with the opponent.

But if this drags on, the players will not stop dying, but Yun Hejun will probably be unable to hold on any longer.

What should I do?

Tang Yi tapped Xiaoxing's head lightly with his fingers, and his mind was quickly sorting out all the current clues.

"Northern Camp...Eastern Fortress...The location and movements of the eastern demon army..."

As he thought about it, his gaze silently shifted to the east side of the gathering place. When he saw the approximate location of Banxi Village, his gaze immediately turned to the fortress that he had just marked in red.

Soon, he made a decision in his heart.

"Since the demon is dragging his feet and not daring to take action..."

"Then let's do it!"

Ning He slammed the table, then stood up immediately and said in an extremely resolute tone while looking at the three captains on the screen:

"We must take the initiative to find trouble with these bastards now!"

"If we continue to fight them like this, we will eventually be worn down!"

Ning He's eyes swept across the faces of the three captains. Seeing that none of them were willing to speak, he sat down again and continued:

"Besides, our supply line to the town has been cut off by those damned demons. After a while, when our stored food runs out, are we going to let my soldiers fight the demons to death on an empty stomach?"

"It's dawn."

As he was speaking, Ning He's gaze suddenly fell on Chu Tianming's face.

"exist!"

"You have always been responsible for military intelligence," Ning He said seriously. "This time, the intelligence mission is also entrusted to you."

"I need you to find the Eastern Demon Army hiding to our south within five days."

"If they sense their location is exposed and start moving elsewhere, I also need to know their approximate location."

"I will not interfere with the reconnaissance methods you use, but you must ensure that the eastern fortress cannot be lost!"

“Can you finish it?”

"can!"

Chu Tianming didn't say anything, just nodded solemnly.

"Old Zhao."

Immediately afterwards, Ning He looked at Zhao Kuo who was in the middle.

"I need you to be ready to attack at any time in the next period of time. You can choose five Xuan-level practitioners from this department at will, but you can only take one person from the late Xuan-level."

"And your task is simple."

"After finding out the location of this group of demons at dawn, you will lead the team and inflict heavy damage on them as quickly as possible."

As he spoke, Ning He's tone softened.

"If possible, it would be best to get rid of that half-step demon."

"I believe you have the strength."

"As ordered!"

Zhao Kuo nodded vigorously, his eyes full of determination.

On the contrary, after the conversation between Ning He and Zhao Kuo, Ji Ziyi showed a thoughtful look between his eyebrows.

"Do you believe you have the ability?"

When did Zhao Kuo have the strength to kill a half-step demon...

"The last one is Ziyi."

Ning He finally looked at Ji Ziyi who was on the far left, and Ji Ziyi immediately wiped that expression from his face.

"Your eastern fortress is currently facing the greatest offensive pressure and the heaviest defensive task, so I only have one request for you."

"No matter what, we must defend the east fortress!"

"Yes!"

Ji Ziyi nodded vigorously.

"All of us Yunhe soldiers stationed at the eastern fortress swear to live and die with the fortress!"

Chapter 419: Activating the Level Emergency Plan

"Ah."

Ning He finally nodded.

Then he stood up again, his eyes sweeping over the three people in front of him again.

"Your mission this time is extremely difficult, but it must be completed!"

"Yunhe Town is right behind us. As a Yunhe soldier, even if we die, we must die on the way to completing our mission!"

He spoke solemnly, his eyes constantly checking the expressions of the three people in front of him.

After a few seconds, he finally turned around.

"Meeting dismissed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Kuo, who was in the middle, cut off the communication directly, and Ji Ziyi, who was on the far left, looked at Ning He's back for a while and then also disconnected the communication.

The room fell into silence for a moment.

After more than ten minutes, Ning He turned around again. He looked at the two black screens on the left and pondered for a while.

"So? Who do you think is the problem?"

This sentence seems to be talking to himself, but also seems to be asking someone a question.
