The strongest starting system

Chapter 1314 Fear before the battle
"No, whether it's mountains, rivers, or even some hidden taboo places, we have sent people to search, but we still can't find out their whereabouts. Rather than saying that they are blood demons, we might as well call them ghosts."

Zhang Guoyu rubbed his eyebrows,

These monsters are really like ghosts, coming and going without a trace, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

Just when Zhang Guoyu was about to say something, he suddenly heard the siren, and a signal flare was burning outside the window, illuminating the sky above Hanxu City.

"What's going on?" Zhang Guoyu asked immediately.

Zhang Haocun suddenly stood up, all without doubt: "Master Zhang, this signal flare warning is only triggered when a major crisis occurs in Hanxu City. It must be something discovered by the soldiers guarding the city."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed over from outside the study.

"My lord, there is an urgent war report ahead." The soldier immediately knelt down on the ground, and after he was allowed to enter the door, he found that the city lord was standing respectfully by the side, and the person at the head was another majestic middle-aged man. .

He didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly reported the city defender's encounter with the blood demon.

"You said that many city defenders have seen the figure of the blood demon hundreds of miles away." Zhang Haocun was stunned, and then asked: "Then how did they see it?"

The soldier shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, but he rushed back to report after receiving the news from the city defenders.

Zhang Haocun and Zhang Guoyu are both saint-level powerhouses. They know that the defenders stationed on the city wall are not very strong, but why can they penetrate such a long distance and see the blood demon hundreds of miles away?It's really puzzling.

"Let's go, you come with me to take a look." Zhang Guoyu said and got up immediately, and went to the layman without hesitation.

Zhang Haocun also followed him, and the two strong men came to the city wall, and the city defenders saluted after seeing this.

"This is Mr. Zhang Guoyu, our state capital. Not long after he took office, please tell Mr. Zhang what you have seen." Zhang Haocun ordered.

Those soldiers didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately told about the frenzy of blood demons they saw. The more Zhang Guoyu heard it, the more he frowned, because he had already seen the strength of these city defenders, and some of them had reached More than half of the city defenders are hovering below the level of Wu Zun.

Zhang Haocun also felt very baffled, why dozens of Chen Shoujun insisted that they saw the blood demon army hundreds of miles away, why did they rush out of the city to see it?

"According to my city lord, you found out when you were patrolling outside, right?"

"Report the city lord, since you ordered the closure of the city, no one in the whole Hanxu city has left the city."

"..." Zhang Haocun suddenly had the urge to beat people. Since you didn't go out of the city, why are you so sure that you saw the blood demon? You really think the owner of the city is a fool so you can't be fooled.

"My subordinates have never needed soldiers who are prone to lying. I don't know why you made up these lies, but don't you think it's ridiculous? With the strength that you saints have not yet achieved, you are able to see people from hundreds of miles away. situation, and there are so many mountains outside the city of Hanxu, is it possible that your eyes can penetrate the mountains?"

Zhang Haocun sneered again and again, he was really pissed off by these city defenders.He himself had already lost face in front of Zhang Guoyu once, and now the soldiers under his command came out to lose face again.

The city guards were all at a loss, and two even wanted to speak out to defend themselves, but were stopped by a chief guard with the highest rank.

"Think about it, why did we all see that scene at the same time? I also remember that we didn't seem to have been out of the city."

After being reminded by the head of the guard, the city defenders began to think, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

It is true that they have never been out of the city, nor have they ever possessed the strength to see through mountains, so the question arises, where did this picture imprinted in their minds come from?

"Don't think about it, you can't remember it, because there are other saints who implanted this memory in your mind."

Zhang Guoyu stood with his hands behind his back, and said lightly.

Zhang Haocun was shocked: "Master Zhang, what do you mean..."

Zhang Guoyu nodded. "There are still strong saints in the city. Since they said that no one left the city, it means that the strong saint relied on the power of the primordial spirit to detect the traces of those blood demons. They are separated by hundreds of miles. Heavy mountain range, I guess that saint powerhouse has at least the primordial spirit of the holy realm, and his strength will not be lower than that of the seventh heaven."

"The reason why he implanted memories for these soldiers is probably because he didn't want us to know that he did it. In this way, it can not only make the city defenders raise the alarm, which will arouse our vigilance, but also hide his own identity. .”

After being reminded by Zhang Guoyu, Zhang Haocun and other talents suddenly realized, but what they didn't understand was why the man wanted to hide his tracks.

"Maybe he just didn't want to show off, and he didn't want to see us unprepared when facing the blood demon, so he came up with this method. City Lord Zhang, hurry up and order to prepare to meet the enemy, the blood demon is coming."

The whole city of Hanxu was in a state of extreme alert. The population carrying capacity of Hanxu city was originally in the million level, but now half of the people were abruptly stuffed.

The major restaurants are also overcrowded, and some warriors simply sit on the ground, lying on the street to rest or practice.

The alarm was sounded, and crowds flocked to various places in the city like a tide.The official generals stood up and directed them to go to various city gates to arrange fortifications.

Some warriors who climbed the city wall looked at the vast forest, only covered by the darkness, and did not find any trace of the Gorefiend.So some warriors muttered.

"Strange, I haven't seen the blood demon, why are you so nervous? I haven't even had a good night's sleep after running around for three or four days."

"Yeah, I was woken up by the alarm just after falling asleep for less than half an hour. I'm really in a bad mood."

"Stop muttering about it, you two. Which would you choose, sleepless or dead? The city defenders will never sound the alarm for no reason. You have to cheer up."

"Over there, there are still people not in place there, we must also keep an eye on the blind corners, and make sure that the blood demon will come out from any corner."

Zhao Wushuang mixed in the crowd and also stood on the tower. He continued to activate Yuanshen Domain. From his perception, the Gorefiend seemed to have sensed the strangeness of Hanxu City, so he slowed down the attack speed and divided into two batches. Heading towards the west and south of the city.

"Huh? Could it be that these Gorefiends have noticed the defenses laid in the city? They even disperse their forces."
