C520 Negotiating countermeasures
At the same time, within the Blood Illusion Valley, Blood Illusion Valley and the rest of the Sword League, after knowing that the great army was about to push them to the edge, were clearly showing their fear and unease.
These people were used to fighting and killing in the martial arts world, but they had never seen a battle that was going on like this! Although all of them were not noobs who had never seen blood before, when they fought with the entire army for the first time, they could not help but feel nervous and fearful.
In the dim light of the meeting hall, a few people were seated facing each other. However, they did not say anything.
Anyone who could sit here at this moment was someone who had a lot of weight in their words. At the very least, they were someone who had some influence.
However, these normally domineering and commanding people were now all speechless. It wasn't that they didn't want to say anything, but that they really didn't know what to say!
In a one on one fight, they would not be afraid of anyone, because even if they were defeated, they would still have a chance to escape. However, in the face of an army of thousands of men, no matter how strong one was, it would be impossible to defeat them! As the saying goes, 'those who are unreasonable are afraid to risk their lives.'
This was because no one could maintain their physical strength forever. Even if they killed their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they would eventually be submerged by the surging crowd. This was the reason why, no matter how arrogant the martial artists were, they would still choose to avoid the army.
Furthermore, there were only a thousand or so people in the Blood Illusion Valley that could form a fighting strength, adding the number of people Sword League had brought along, there were less than three thousand.
Although these people possessed martial arts that were not bad for ordinary people, when facing a real army, even self-defense was not enough, not to mention there were almost the same number of old and weak women and children. If they wanted to bring these women and children, who did not know any martial arts or illusions, to successfully break through the encirclement, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy.
If they chose to defend, it would only be a matter of time before they were all wiped out. Putting aside the fact that the Blood Illusion Valley was a place that was easy to defend and hard to attack, just the food problem of these thousands of people was enough to give people a headache.
Even if the old, weak, women and children were able to reduce the food supply, it was still considered fortunate to be able to endure for ten days. Now, because the people of Sword League had suddenly become allies to fight against the enemy, the stored food in the valley might not even last ten days.
There was one more crucial issue, and that was the gap in numbers! How many people could a person with Wuji or illusion techniques have at a time? Two? Or three? One person against five at the same time!
However, according to the reports from the scouts, the total number of people in this army that had suddenly arrived was at least one hundred and twenty thousand. This meant that one had to fight against forty people in order to close the gap in numbers.
After a long while, Yin Busan shook his head, sighed and said: "Don't talk about it anymore, tell us what you think. After all, we are not gathered here to look at each other, we are here to discuss a practical method!"
His opponent's counterattack this time had really made him jump. Originally, he had locked his target onto a certain great martial arts sect, and even suspected that everything was actually related to the Nightmare Villa.
Although he did not know the exact origin of this troop, but judging from the equipment arrangement and the military aura, this unit could definitely be called a strong force. Did he only know where it came from, and who was the general in command?
Li Fenghun said angrily: "A way? How can I think of a solution? How was one to forty times the difference in numbers going to be solved? Also, although it's fine to kill forty people by yourself, but in fact, you and I both know that the cohesiveness of the army is the strongest, and it's much stronger than us, who are used to being in the martial arts world. I'm afraid we'll lose at least a third of our troops before we even start fighting with them! "
On one hand, he felt that he was being deceived by Yin Busan. He even suspected that Yin Busan had secretly set this up, in order to drag their Sword League down the river.
On the other hand, Li Fenghun was also worried about the crisis he was facing. Initially, in order to seek justice for the Blood Illusion Valley, he had even wanted to fish up some benefits from it.
If these elite warriors of the Sword League were to die here, then in the martial arts world, the Sword League would be as good as dead. As the elder with the highest status in the Sword League, even if he were to die, he would not have the face to meet the ancestors of the Sword League.
Yin Busan coughed lightly, then laughed: "Brother Li, you cannot destroy the bridge after crossing the river at this time! "Brother, I'm sure you know the principle of both sides being prosperous together and both sides suffering at the same time, right?"
He was an old man, and this saying was absolutely correct. However, there was another saying. The older a person was, the thicker their skin would be!
At this moment, Yin Busan did not have the slightest bit of shameful and guilty conscience, but instead felt that all of this was natural.
He was truly shameless and invincible!
Li Fenghun scoffed, and continued to speak snappily: "You speak so lightly, even if our Sword League and your Blood Illusion Valley face this crisis together, what can we do, we will just have a few more people throwing their lives away! Is there any chance that we can beat them? "
He had to admit that Li Fenghun's words were very reasonable, and hit the nail on the head as well. This also caused the originally somewhat lively atmosphere to once again become quiet.
In fact, unless a large number of people joined in, it would not make much of a difference in numbers.
"Sigh, I have never thought that my opponent would be someone from the military!" This time, we must have made quite a bit of money! " After a long while, the current Alliance Master of Sword League, Li Jialai, broke the silence and said.
"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor Li, Chief Li, in my opinion, this matter is not impossible to resolve!" Yin Jingduan suddenly said with a smile.
Hearing Yin Jingduan's words, the gazes of everyone present all turned towards Yin Jingduan, their eyes simultaneously carrying disbelief, shock and doubt. That old fellow Yin Busan even opened his mouth and said, "Oh? Shock, don't tell me you have a good plan to retreat? "Why don't you tell me about it!"
"It's not really a good idea, but I have some personal opinions on this!" Yin Jingduan smiled bitterly as he shook his head and explained.
The difficulty of this matter was not inferior to any other crisis, and there was a possibility that the sect might be destroyed, even Yin Jingduan himself did not dare to say that he had sufficient information to handle this matter!
"Then tell me, don't beat around the bush!" Li Fenghun said snappily. He was already filled with anger, how could he give the people from the Blood Illusion Valley a good look?
"Hur hur, everyone who is actually doing has entered a dead end!" Yin Jingduan forced a smile and began to share his views.
"What do you mean?" Li Jialai frowned and asked.
"Firstly, even though the Blood Illusion Valley is our base of operations, we can't abandon it!" Yin Jingduan released his first 'opinion' without hesitation.
"Abandon? You must know that this place is the base of the Blood Illusion Valley, and is the most important place. How can you give up so easily? " Yin Busan stood up with a 'whoosh', stared at Yin Jingduan with an angry face, and said unhappily.
"The Old Ancestor misunderstood me! In fact, it is meaningless for us to guard the Blood Illusion Valley at all costs. The Blood Illusion Valley has been in operation here for many years, and the ancestors have had many talented people, thus many places in the valley have powerful restrictions that can be used to guard the most important places and items in the Blood Illusion Valley. " Yin Jingduan continued to explain with a wry smile.
"That's right!" Yin Busan faintly nodded.
"Without a special method to enter, those who enter without permission will undoubtedly die. As for the other places, they are just worldly possessions. Even if they are gone, we can still return them to them. It's not a pity! " Yin Jingduan continued to explain.
"If that's the case, giving up on the Blood Illusion Valley might be a good idea! At the very least, it's much better than staying here and defending with your life! " Li Jialai nodded in agreement.
People like them, who were in the martial arts world, had been there all their lives. They rarely came into contact with the army, not to mention fighting against the two sides. In the face of such a large army, it was not a wise move to defend a region.
"That's right, our advantage lies in our flexibility, not our ability to fight to the death. As long as we are not restricted by the region, we can form our own squads and utilize the advantage of our strength. Even if we delay them, it would be enough to wear out the enemy's huge army!" Yin Jingduan and Li Jialai looked at each other and continued to speak.
"But we still have so many elderly, women, and children. It's impossible for us to abandon them all!" Yin Jingxiao interjected.
Yin Jingduan sighed in his heart, his little brother was indeed not someone qualified, and was just too soft-hearted, not knowing when to give up and when to sacrifice his brother's life, but he still replied his brother's question, "The possibility of saving all those old, weak, and children is not high, I think that the families that are greatly valued can be evacuated together. Of course, we cannot allow them to enter the valley so easily either.
"But ?" Yin Jingxiao wanted to say something.
"There's no need for 'but', just go with 'shock'!" Yin Busan interrupted him with a cold voice.
"But where will we go after we evacuate? How can I continue to fight against the enemy? " Li Jialai changed the topic and asked, he did not care about these small matters, the person who was going to stay definitely did not belong to the Sword League, anyway!
"I wonder if you guys have noticed the route of this troop?" Yin Jingduan suddenly asked mysteriously.
"Route?" Isn't it heading towards our Blood Illusion Valley? " Li Fenghun's techniques were not weak, but he was not good at military matters.
"But they haven't taken many shortcuts!" Yin Jingduan continued to explain.
"Shortcut? Does it make any difference? " Yin Busan asked.
"There are many cities along the way, but they chose to avoid them!" Yin Jingduan said after giving a mysterious smile.
"What are you trying to say?" Li Fenghun was a little angry, he did not like to guess and guess, so he asked without hesitation.
Once again, everyone present was confused by Yin Jingduan. What did he want to say? Did this have anything to do with the route?
