Chapter 87 Task Assignment (Happy New Year to Everyone!)
"We're here!"
A team of two to three thousand people came to Yunsheng Market, one of the easternmost markets in the Dishen Sect.
At the gate, the three foundation-building monks in power in the market had already come out and greeted them with smiles.
The casual cultivators watching the show were surprised by the team's lineup and asked around in confusion: "What's going on? Why are there so many masters in the market?"
"I heard that the Dishen Sect is preparing to go to war with the Yunyang Sect! It is estimated that the market will issue war missions and recruit casual cultivators soon."
"Hiss, such a big thing actually happened?"
Some casual cultivators looked worried and immediately hurried back to the cave they rented, ready to pack up and leave this place of trouble.
And some casual cultivators were excited. Although this kind of war is dangerous, it is also an opportunity to make a lot of money, so they are all ready to go.
The prices of materials in the market rose accordingly. Things like elixirs, talismans, magic tools, etc. that improve combat power have all increased by 10% or 20%.
At this time, in the lobby in the center of the market.
Two Jindan Zhenren, forty foundation-building cultivators, plus three foundation-building cultivators originally stationed in the market, a total of forty-five cultivators gathered together. In the center was a huge sand table with a topographic distribution map of a thousand miles around.
Han Yuan stood in the crowd, looking inconspicuous. He carefully observed the map and wrote down the details on it one by one.
Elder Wu Baogang, who was stationed in the market, bowed respectfully to the two people at the front of the crowd and said, "Zhenren Xuanlin, Zhenren Renyi, I am Wu Baogang from Tianshui Peak stationed in Yunsheng Market, and these two are the deputy masters, Chang Yiran from Liandan Peak and Chang Huixiu from Mingwen Peak. You two Zhenren can ask us three questions if you have any questions."
Chang Yiran and Chang Huixiu next to them also bowed immediately.
Han Yuan looked at the two foundation-building cultivators curiously. Both of them had the surname Chang, so they should be from the Chang family.
Zhou Xuanlin waved his hand: "No need for greetings. I am Zhou Xuanlin, the seventh elder of Gumu Peak. The one next to me is Zhou Renyi, the seventh elder of Lingwen Peak. The task given to us is to occupy the Gengchun Market, which belongs to the Yunyang Sect, as well as the surrounding minerals, forestry, fisheries and other industries, and eliminate the enemies of the Yunyang Sect and its affiliated forces! Now introduce us to the situation nearby."
Wu Baogang's expression became solemn. He pointed to the direction on the left side of the map: "This is the Yunsheng Market where we are now. There are eleven industries belonging to us around, including six minerals, three fields, and two fisheries."
Han Yuan took a look and saw that there were eleven green areas marked near the market on the left side of the topographic map. There were detailed industrial information on them, including medium-sized low-grade spiritual stone mines, large yellow-grade high-grade spiritual fields, and medium-sized spiritual fish farms.
Zhou Xuanlin frowned and said, "How is the defense of these industries now?"
"Small and medium-sized industries are guarded by peak Qi refining disciples, and large and above industries are guarded by foundation building!" Wu Baogang said immediately.
"The guarding force is too low!" Zhou Xuanlin shook his head.
He looked at the other side of the map again.
Wu Baogang also pointed to the red area on the right side of the map and explained: "This is Gengchunfang City. There were two foundation builders sitting there before. There are a total of eight industries next to it that belong to Yunyang Sect, including four mines, two farms, a fishery, and a forest farm. Their previous defense standards were similar to ours, but there have also been some movements there during this period."
Zhou Xuanlin nodded, turned to look at Zhou Renyi, who had been silent for a long time, and asked: "Renyi, I think we can go straight to Huanglong and kill them by surprise. What do you think?"
Han Yuan also looked over. He had seen the seventh elder of Lingwen Peak before, but he didn't know the name of the seventh elder before. The names of these two are also Zhou, so it seems that they are related.
Zhou Renyi said with a serious look: "Xuanlin, we'd better be careful. The cultivators of Yunyang Sect are not simple!"
He remembered the feeling of powerlessness in the previous battle with Zhao Yumu, and acted cautiously. He said: "We must first find out the intelligence of the enemy and weaken their strength before we can attack with all our strength. We can divide our troops to go to eight industries and find ways to occupy them one by one, cut off their resources, consume their combat power, and then we will surround and attack them!"
Zhou Xuanlin was surprised by Zhou Renyi's steady style, but after thinking about it, he agreed: "You are right. If we rush in now, we may fall into a trap. trap. "
Zhou Renyi looked at the crowd and said, "We must be prepared for a protracted war. This is just a small battlefield. We cannot consume too much manpower. There are many independent cultivators, immortal cultivation families and small forces in the market. We can spend resources to recruit these people. We don't have to consider their loyalty. As long as we can rely on them to explore the way and consume the power of Yunyang Sect, it will be fine. The sect can report part of the consumed resources, and the rest will be paid by our Zhou family! Don't worry!"
The surrounding foundation building elders relaxed a little. In this way, their life danger will be reduced a lot.
Zhou Xuanlin thought about it and nodded: "In this case, Renyi, you are in charge of defense and I am in charge of attack. Is it okay?"
Zhou Renyi reminded: "Be careful and don't be reckless."
"Don't worry." Zhou Xuanlin said.
Zhou Xuanlin immediately asked the foundation building cultivators in the hall: "Are there any of you who want to take the initiative to join the attack team?"
"Me!"
"I will join too!"
Soon, a dozen foundation building cultivators took the initiative to stand up.
Zhou Xuanlin nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at a few people who were hesitant. He directly pointed out: "Zhou Wei,..., Liu Tao, the twenty-five of you lead your own teams and follow me to participate in the offensive and defensive battles."
"Yes!" More than half of the foundation-building elders responded.
More than a dozen of these people took the initiative to stand up, and a few were named by Zhou Xuanlin while they were hesitant.
In general, they are all willing to fight on the front line.
Zhou Xuanlin brought twenty-five foundation-building monks to the side, pointed at the topographic map, and began to arrange the troops and discuss the attack.
The remaining twenty foundation-building monks were naturally assigned to the defense work.
Zhou Renyi took the initiative to stand up and said to the remaining foundation-building monks: "They are going to attack, and our defense here is actually not simple. A stable rear and sufficient supply of resources are the key to victory, so your work is also not simple! These eleven industries must have foundation-building monks go there. If you want to defend one, you can apply to me."
"I'll guard this spiritual stone mine!"
"I'll guard this fishing lake!"
"I'll take care of this!"
Soon, foundation-building monks signed up to defend the eleven industries, so there were only nine foundation-building monks left to be assigned!
Zhou Renyi looked at the people and said, "We need a mobile patrol team in the rear. They patrol around the market to ensure the safety of the market and support various industries or the front line at any time. What do you choose?"
"I'll join the patrol team!"
"Me too!"
Under Zhou Renyi's gaze, the five foundation-building monks who followed Zhou Renyi came out one by one. These five people were the foundation-building elders of Lingwen Peak. The mobile team was naturally very important, so he naturally wanted to use his own people.
"Wu Baogang, you three, are still responsible for the safety of the market and ensure the operation of the market during wartime!"
"Yes!" Wu Baogang, Chang Yiran and Chang Huixiu responded.
Zhou Renyi nodded with satisfaction. Now, the personnel were assigned. However, he noticed Han Yuan standing aside and was stunned. Why is there one more person here?
