The war broke out without warning.

But the vast majority of players are quite disappointed because they have no sense of participation.

Even the big guys in the closed beta such as Chen Tianlong are still stuck in the blood coagulation realm, and their real combat effectiveness is not that outstanding.

At present, the warriors who can participate in this war need to at least reach the level of Guiyuan Realm and Yuanhai Realm, and most of the Guiyuan Realm are errand boys.

Having said that, Monk has indeed achieved outstanding results with the convenience of Feizhou, the blessing of intelligence, and the preemptive advantage.

But the good times did not last long, after all, the barbarians were not vegetarians.

After several successful sneak attacks, which resulted in the collapse of the three barbarian sects, the other party quickly reacted.

Although it is unclear at what price Zuo Chongming paid to persuade the monks in the far west to serve him, this did not prevent the barbarians from taking countermeasures.

As the saying goes, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.

The barbarians were able to survive in such a harsh environment as the southern wilderness, so they were naturally superior.

In addition to the special martial arts inheritance that is different from that of Middle-earth, there are also a variety of side sects such as beast control, worshiping gods, witchcraft, and Gu magic.

Although Zuo Chongming reminded them in this regard.

But the monks who had already enjoyed the benefits did not take it to heart.

Subsequent raids became increasingly unsuccessful, and on several occasions, the barbarians deliberately set traps to lure them into the trap, causing them heavy casualties.

It was only then that the monks felt regretful. If they could have taken Zuo Chongming's reminder seriously, such a fiasco would never have happened.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. It is too late to regret now.

After all, they were fighting away from home and could not replenish their manpower in time. They could only temporarily slow down the attack and consolidate the territory they had already won.

As a result, the war will inevitably fall into a tense and fierce battle.

The monks didn't want to see this happen, but there was nothing they could do about it.

First, they invested and lost many masters.

Secondly, they had already formed a blood feud with the barbarians.

Third, the hope of moving to a new home still exists.

Due to various reasons, they could only grit their teeth and continue. After all, they were only evenly matched at the moment and were far from the point of failure.

"Masters, the situation is not good."

Zuo Chongming looked at the sand table and sighed: "The situation has developed in the direction we least want to see. We will win miserably in a fierce battle, but it will be disadvantageous to fight for a long time."

When Liao Chen and others heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

"Master Hou, this is all our fault."

"If we were more careful, we would not fall into their ways."

"These barbarians' secret methods are too sinister..."

"Master Hou, what should we do next?"

The monks also knew very well that what happened was entirely due to their carelessness, and Zuo Chongming was not to blame.

As an ally, Zuo Chongming has done a good enough job.

Not only did they borrow the flying boats to provide supplies, collect intelligence, and devise tactics... they even sent craftsmen over to help them build outposts and fortresses.

To put it bluntly, allies like Zuo Chongming can't be found even with a lantern.

"The situation has come to this, and there is no point in complaining."

Zuo Chongming said in a deep voice: "The barbarian witchcraft is very strange. You masters have done it several times, and the other party has already memorized your breath."

"If we continue with our original strategy, once our masters leave, the barbarians are likely to take advantage of the situation and cut off our retreat."

The faces of the monks changed. If the outpost fortress was razed to the ground, all the territory they had previously occupied through sneak attacks would be lost.

Once that time comes, they, trapped deep in the wilderness of the southern border, will only be gradually eaten away by the barbarians and their entire army will be annihilated.

"What the Marquis said makes sense."

Liao Chen nodded slightly and said seriously: "Seniors in the Dharma Realm and Star Realm must stay at the outpost to avoid sneak attacks by the barbarians."

Someone added: "What the barbarians remember is that these people can reorganize the attack as soon as our follow-up reinforcements arrive."

The monk next to him added: "Before that, we must hold on to our position and protect the territory we have won."

Liao Chen interrupted everyone's discussion and said in a deep voice: "Let's listen to what the Marquis has to say first."

Zuo Chongming nodded: "You are right, but we cannot just defend. We must continue to attack and put pressure on the barbarians."

"Although the seniors in Dharma Realm and Star Realm cannot take action, it is different for those in Yuanhai Realm and Guiyuan Realm. After all, there are only a few masters."

At this point, a smile appeared on his face: "There are too many mice, and even the cat can't catch them."

If someone has some enlightenment: "What does Mr. Hou mean?"

Zuo Chongming gave a suggestion: "Assign Yuanhai Realm warriors to spread out around the outpost and establish a forward position."

"The warriors from the Guiyuan Realm, Blood Coagulation Realm and even the Body Tempering Realm will go deep into the wilderness of the southern border and constantly harass the barbarians."

Everyone's hearts moved, this was indeed a good idea.

But soon, they realized the difficulty.

Liao Chen frowned and asked with a wry smile: "But the environment in the southern wilderness is harsh and the war situation is so dangerous. Will anyone be willing to do it?"

"The wages of avarice is death."

Zuo Chongming said softly: "I suggest that all parties on our side come up with some low-level martial arts, secret techniques and other things as rewards."

"Let's unite with the mercenary guild, establish a branch at the outpost, and release a large number of relevant tasks to lure low-level warriors into our use."

Mercenary?

Yes, why did they forget this?

The monks couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw excitement in each other's eyes.

Without hesitating for too long, they quickly made a decision and implemented Zuo Chongming's method.

The establishment of the branch of the Mercenary Guild did not take long.

After all, there are enough craftsmen, abundant building materials, and the enthusiasm of players is high.

In just a few days, a simple branch building with a large area was built at the outpost.

At the same time, the Zhenfu Department of Xiyun Mansion issued an announcement that the battle on the front line was intense and a large number of people with lofty ideals were needed to help.

The hints on the notice are too obvious.

The players instantly understood the elements, their depression was wiped away, and their eyes turned red with excitement.

The big guys are done fighting.

It's the player's turn to enter.

This is a large-scale plot that affects the current situation. No player is willing to miss it, not to mention that it contains countless opportunities.

Only half an hour after the notice was released, countless players began to gather their friends and swarm towards the border in groups.

The large-scale transfer of players has led to a terrible phenomenon.

That is, the number of players active in Xiyun Mansion has dropped sharply at an extremely terrifying rate.

The reaction brought about by this phenomenon is that the passenger flow of all flying boat routes in Xiyun Mansion has dropped off a cliff.

Why did the route collapse?

Why are there no customers?

What's going on?

I really can’t understand it!

The above are all questions that An Yunmiao, Qi Siyu and other sect leaders are puzzled by.

They never expected that an industry that had a bright future and huge profits only a few days ago would suddenly become deserted and no one would care about it...

When they found out the reason and found out that a large number of mercenaries were gathering towards the border, they became even more confused.

Because they can't figure it out. The border war is so dangerous. Why are there still people willing to run there? Are they impatient?

Even though they couldn't understand it, it didn't mean they didn't know it. This was Zuo Chongming's way of fighting back against them.

Bang!!

An Yunmiao couldn't help but slap the table and said through gritted teeth: "Zuo Chongming, you Zuo Chongming..."

Qi Siyu took a deep breath and said with a gloomy face: "This is really murder without blood."

Compared to the local sectarian forces, these outsiders are even more miserable.

Because the local power is deeply rooted, they usually have side businesses such as mineral veins, blessed lands, caravans, etc., which can provide considerable profits to support the sect.

Every penny spent by outsiders such as Litian Sword Sect and Huanyue Sect is the foundation accumulated by the sect.
To be continued...
