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

These factors also led to the demons having little desire to attack from this direction, and made Mujing Fort famous among the three towns.

However, the situation this time seems to be a little different. The Shaling Army is overwhelmed by internal strife, and the Mujing Fort is surrounded by demons. With supplies cut off, it is unknown how long they can hold out.

"With civil unrest and demonic attacks, can Shaling Town withstand this?"

During this period, the demons in the southern part of Yunhe Town have been causing trouble. Even if the news of Mujing Fort is reported to Chu Tianming, the Yunhe Army probably cannot send many reinforcements to Shaling Town.

On the other hand, if the demons attack Yunhe Town, Shaling Town will probably not be able to send troops to assist.

"As for Jiaoqiu..."

Tang Yi frowned silently.

Judging from the fake medicine incident in Yangwei Village, these people probably have some unclear relationship with the rebels.

Even if they wanted to help at that time, Yun Hejun would probably have to be on guard against them.

"Director, a player submitted an urgent intelligence report in the mission hall."

Xiao Xing, who was waiting beside Tang Yi, suddenly woke up, then immediately turned around and slid in front of Tang Yi, and the screen in front of him turned into (`?ω??)ゞ

"The intelligence headline is 'Shaling Town's Mujing Fort is under attack, and they are seeking help from Yunhe Town's forces.' The specific content is basically the same as the information you just checked."

"Yes." Tang Yi nodded. "Tell them that we will communicate with Yun Hejun about this matter as soon as possible and give them a reply by tomorrow at the latest."

"Then send a communication mission to the players in the gathering area and ask them to bring this information to Li Shan."

He saw that the players were eager to try and were ready to come to the rescue from afar.

But this kind of thing cannot be rushed. No matter what, we still have to see what Yun Hejun is going to do first.

If Yun and Jun Teng take action, the gathering place will send some people to accompany them and expand the intelligence of Jiaoqiu Town.

If they are not prepared to take action, then the gathering place will send troops to assist, and the Yunhe Army will at least have to provide a batch of equipment to the gathering place free of charge.

……

At the same time, the Code: Dawn Internal Test Group

Xia Shu: Finally done, I’m going to log off and get back to work!

Fujiwara Tofu Shop: Huh? What's going on? Why are you so late?

Secret Hamburger: Mainly waiting for the leader's feedback for a while, but the leader asked someone to pass the message to Yun Hejun, so I guess there will be no result tonight.

Chenlu Bobo: Will you attend tomorrow's auction?

I'm not a traitor: Changing the subject like this? Are you anxious to confirm tomorrow's opponent?

Chenlu Bobo: How could that be?

Five Oxides is hungry: Huh? You're going to the auction tomorrow? Aren't you in Yangwei Village? Where are Alps and the others? Did you abandon them?

Alps: Um, A-Tui and I just got out of prison, so Chenlu went back first.

Maimen Yongcun: Are you guys out of prison? When? Did you escape or get out?

Alps: Uh, we were released from prison normally. Didn’t Gu Yu bring money to redeem us? We were just released in the evening and are now staying in the Tekkadan’s base.

Phosphorus Pentoxide: Huh? No, you're really willing to spend such a large ransom?

Phosphorus Pentoxide: Didn’t we agree that if you come back, we’ll split the ransom equally?

Tieguodunzizi: The plan is good, but the reality is a bit bleak. The NPC paid the money directly and we couldn't stop it.

Tianji Liao Wuhen: And there are members of the Tekkadan watching them, so it’s not easy for us to just let them die.

Phosphorus Pentoxide: Damn it, then we will suffer a huge loss in Gu Yu’s mission!

Chenlu Bobo: Big loss? Great! Are you not bidding tomorrow?

Phosphorus pentoxide: I lost a lot of money = good?

Phosphorus Pentoxide: Just wait! I'll rush back from Yunhe Town tomorrow morning and buy the right to kill a demon! I'll snatch your top expert away!

Chapter 260: We Are Here! (Two-in-One)

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Today's trading point is even busier than yesterday. Players who had originally gone out to work at this time are now all gathered to the north of the trading point.

"Wow, this stage is pretty good."

"I heard that Cat and Phantom Tank worked on it all night and just finished it early this morning."

"I have to say, it's easy for cultivators to build infrastructure. They can lift two buckets of wood at a time, and they can do it very quickly."

"Huh? You saw it online last night?"

"Ah, no, I'm from Team Cats. What I just said was my daily routine."

"Um... 6."

In fact, Maomao and Phantom Tank spent more than an hour researching the location of this open-air auction house.

After all, the auction is not a one-time deal. It is estimated that the Yunshanhe Chamber of Commerce will organize similar activities in the future, so the auction table cannot be too far away from the chamber of commerce headquarters.

But it’s obvious that there will be a lot of players coming to join in the fun tomorrow, and the trading point will definitely not be able to accommodate them all.

The east and south sides of the trading point are now refugee camps, and people from Mujing Fort have just arrived on the west side, so the two of them can only choose the north side.

It just so happened that there was a large gentle slope here, and the trees on it had long been destroyed by the players. Moreover, the gathering place was in this direction, which also made it convenient for the players to travel back and forth.

After all, at this stage, the main customers of the auction are still players.

Earlier today, Chu Tianming's reply also arrived.

As Tang Yi expected, the Yunhe Army is now unable to take care of itself and has no ability to send people across thousands of miles to rescue Mujing Fort.

But since the Yunshanhe gathering place is willing to assist Mujing Fort, Chu Tianming will definitely agree with it.

It’s just some equipment as a gift. They are mining gas stone mines now, so the last thing they lack is money.

As long as they have money and the trade route between the south and Yunzhong City is not cut off, they can purchase equipment from there continuously.

This is also why the number of casualties reported by Tang Yi was so high, which obviously exceeded the number of residents they registered, but he still paid all the pensions in full and never asked about this matter.

Because the corpses of the demons in the demon-occupied area were all placed there.

He even went to see it in person a few times, and almost thought he was in the wrong place.

The density of monsters in the area just north of the Yunshan River gathering place is almost catching up with some sparsely populated areas in Yunhe Town.

I can only say that the people in these gathering places are really good at killing.

If the Yunhe Army were to deal with so many demons, there would be a lot of casualties among the soldiers, and pensions would still have to be paid.

This is equivalent to him buying the lives of demons at a discount price. So before the air stone mine is mined out, he will definitely buy as many as he can.

This is a clearance sale!

The same applies to asking people from the Yunshan River gathering place to support Shaling Town.

Although Shaling Town has indeed encountered many unexpected problems in recent years, the three towns are strategically interdependent.

Then they could use some money to have the Yunshanhe gathering place send a group of people to support them, and their Yunhe Town would have fulfilled its promise of mutual assistance.

Then, let Li Shan accompany their army to Shaling Town, and take a look at the current situation in Shaling Town.

Win twice directly!

"..."

"So this is the current situation of Yunhe Army." [Secret Hamburger] briefly told Song Zheng the news in the group.

"But they will be transporting a batch of supplies from town. It is expected to arrive this afternoon or evening. You can then find them to confirm your identity."

After all, this information is only one side of the trading point. In order to reassure the people in Mujing Fort, asking them to confirm their identities with Yunhejun will also help the subsequent cooperation between the two sides.

By the way, let's check the people in Mujingbao. If they bring false information, then their trip will be in vain.

"Is this all we can take back?" Song Zheng's tone turned somewhat dejected. "The Yunhe Army couldn't even send out a single Xuan-level expert..."

"It should be that Xuan-level masters all have their own tasks."

Xia Shu comforted her a little, then patted his chest confidently.

"And there are us too!"

"you?"

Song Zheng blinked, obviously not reacting immediately.

Then a look of surprise instantly rushed across his still somewhat immature face.

"You're going to send troops to help us?"

"That's right." [Secret Hamburger] nodded and said, "When the Yunhe Army sends over some of the supplies, some of them will be for us."

Then, looking at Song Zheng who had completely lost control of his facial expression due to his rapid mood swings, [Secret Hamburger] quickly added another sentence.

"However, because the distance is too far, we don't have many people going, but they are all elite. More than a quarter of them are Yellow Rank practitioners, and the rest basically have several years of cultivation."

"How many people will there be?" Song Zheng asked with a blink.

"There will definitely be more than 200 people." Xia Shu answered quickly.

At the moment, it seems that the Cat Corps and the Survey Corps cannot take on this mission alone.

Although the leader has not yet determined the specific number of troops to be sent out, a conservative estimate is that it will be more than four.

The number of people going on the expedition will definitely be more than two hundred.

This is probably the largest battle in the game so far.

"More than two hundred people... then there must be at least fifty Yellow Rank masters..."

After hearing what Xia Shu said, Song Zheng could no longer suppress the joy on his face.

"So don't worry too much."

Xia Shu looked at the other people in the camp, then turned back to Song Zheng and patted him on the shoulder.

"I see that you and the others haven't had enough rest. You still have to lead the way for us later. There will be a tough battle to fight in Shaling Town. Don't overwork yourself now."

Song Zheng nodded slightly.

But he is indeed young and energetic. He only slept for a few hours last night and is not sleepy now.

"Sister Xia Shu, I see that the north side of your trading point seems quite lively. Are you holding some kind of event?"

Song Zheng is no longer wary of Xia Shu.

He also observed the residents of this gathering place today. Many of them were carrying standard firearms and wearing standard armor of the Yunhe Army. There were even quite a few who had yellow-level cultivation.

And a gathering place with such strength would not have any reason to play any tricks against these twenty or so people.

"Oh, there's an auction over there soon." Xia Shu replied immediately.

Then she looked at Song Zheng and suddenly had a new idea.

"How about it? Want to go take a look?" She said confidently, hands on her hips, "You'll never guess what's being auctioned."

"Is it a pre-war weapon? Or some rare material?" Song Zheng blinked.

A few years ago, when Shaling Town was still relatively peaceful, he and his father went to an auction in the town.

The highlight of the event was a weapon used by an early Xuan-level cultivator. He remembered that it was auctioned at a sky-high price, and in the end, it seemed to have been bought by a wealthy man in the town.

"You definitely won't guess if I tell you." Xia Shu simply walked around behind Song Zheng and pushed him towards the north of the trading point.

"Come on, let me show you some new things!"

"..."

By the time Xia Shu and Song Zheng arrived at the auction house, a large group of players had already gathered there, surrounding the open-air auction house in three layers.

The two of them stood at the outermost edge, unable to see even a strand of the cat's hair.

So Xia Shu could only force her way in with Song Zheng. Fortunately, she was also level 9, which gave her an advantage in this kind of physical competition.

"When does the auction start?"

"It's about 11 o'clock. Didn't you see Brother Shui and the others have already entered?"

"Hey, hey, is that Chen Lu? He looks pretty handsome."
