    At this time, the wind had stopped and everything around was calm. Shuluo stood on the city wall of Senxue. This small city in the Western Regions now seemed lonely and small. There were many flags erected on the city head.  He lowered his head as if resigned to his fate.  After experiencing the baptism of the Black Death, he had just regained some strength with the help of Taoyuan, but now he was in a greater crisis. He did not expect that the Sea Clan would invade so fast and violently.  After the traces of the Sea Clan appeared in Turtle City, Taoyuan branches all over the mainland reported that the Demonic Shadows of the Sea Clan appeared in more and more places.  Although the Sea Clan has not yet appeared in large numbers, only a small number of the Sea Clan can pose a threat to some small towns with the Sea Clan's far superior combat power than ordinary people. These Sea Clan are ugly, powerful, and invulnerable, posing a threat to the people.  The panic is particularly huge, especially when the Black Death crisis has just calmed down. Human civilization has experienced a period of pain and is on the verge of collapse. It is extremely fragile. At this time, the emergence of the sea tribe has made the human nerves that have just calmed down become tense again. Once a major disaster occurs  There was panic on a large scale, and rumors were flying all over the sky. It was believed that the sea people were monsters sent by the gods to punish humans. At that time, humans would collapse without a fight and would have no ability to resist.  Shuluo sent the charred corpse back to Taoyuan, and asked Taoyuan's think tank to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the Hai clan's combat power, summarize them and publish them to various Taoyuan branches across the continent.  At the same time, the Speaker of the House is Sobeov, who leads the entire army. Under him, the Taoyuan Army Commander Safin, the Crusaders Commander Yulei, the Intelligence Minister Rayon (and the Shadow Force Commander), the Engineering Minister Yoso, and the Agriculture Minister Grigory  , Minister of Etiquette Madeleine Wait for the highest level of Taoyuan to gather on Taoyuan Island immediately.  "The listening birds fly non-stop every day, and one secret order after another is issued from this isolated island overseas, and then spreads and radiates out from top to bottom along the layers of structures in Taoyuan.  The emergency plan was launched. This plan was formulated long before Yang Zheng left to search for the ruins, because Yang Zheng was also afraid that the Sea Clan would appear at any time. He didn't know how long it would take to find the legendary civilization, and he didn't even know how long he would take.  Can you come back?  So before he set off, he had been preparing for it for more than half a year.  After a long period of research and analysis with the people at the top of Taoyuan, they formulated a set of plans to deal with the Hai Clan.  So even though Yang Zheng, the sea-fixing needle, was still missing when the Sea Clan appeared, Taoyuan did not lose its way.  The measures in the plan were passed down steadily to control the undercurrent of the situation.  Taoyuan¡¯s most powerful weapon in controlling people¡¯s hearts is the Demon God Sect.  By exaggerating the myth of the Demon God General, the belief that he is the son of destiny is deeply imprinted into the people's psychology.  At the same time, the "Doomsday Son of God Theory" has long been widely publicized in doctrine.  Nowadays, the magic gods are centered on the nander of the Nandaland, and the results are remarkable. In the North Unda, the propaganda doctrine of the Golden Paranan shelter is relying on the Jin Palan asylum.  It also controls most of the continent south of Niamh.  As soon as the Hai Clan appeared, there were rumors.  The various organizations of the Demon God Sect and the Jinparan Sect immediately summoned the believers and began to use the "Doomsday Son of God Theory" to encourage the people. This set of prophecies originally said that when the devil from the underworld descends on the earth, the destiny of the land where the sun rises will be  The Son of God was born in response to the catastrophe, drove away demons, and created a new era for mankind.  s Because all this is the seed that was sown into the believers long before the sea monsters appeared.  Even many people who do not believe in the teachings of the devil know this doomsday theory of the Son of God, when the Sea Tribe appears.  Those terrifying half-human, half-fish monsters are of course considered by people to be "demons from the netherworld". People always have the desire to survive, regardless of whether it is true or false. At this time when everyone is in danger, then  The theory of the Son of God in the Doomsday gave them the fire to survive. When people heard this fire orally, those who believed it became more convinced, and those who did not believe it also began to believe it.  The Demonic God¡¯s Doctrine received the greatest publicity due to the appearance of the Sea Clan monsters. The number of believers increased dramatically, and believers from all over the world simply united together.  The fire of rumor was suppressed.  At this time, the Demon God Sect in the southern continent and the Jinparan Sect in the northern continent called on the people to join the Demon Slayer Corps.  For those masters who did not want to be bound, Taoyuan also made great efforts and relied on their huge resource network to establish a demon hunting union. The union's system is somewhat similar to the mercenary association, but unlike the mercenary association, he only  Accept tasks related to sea monsters, as long as someone kills a sea monster.  And if you take the head to the mercenary union, you will immediately receive a very high reward.  There must be brave men under heavy rewards, and those masters who usually hide in the crowd no longer "sweep the snow in front of their own door and worry about the frost on other people's tiles", in order to obtain high rewards from the Demon Hunter Guild.  They will follow the traces of monsters everywhere.  Mercenary groups from various places also took action upon hearing the news. These people were all madmen who licked blood with their swords.  monsterAlthough it is difficult to kill, money is more important than life.  The army can only defend one side. With these masters hunting monsters everywhere, they can take care of many areas that the army cannot take care of.  For a time, crowds of people gathered from all over the country, and everyone shouted "Eliminate the demons and bring peace to the good". Regardless of whether they were doing it to get high rewards or really thinking about the common people, a vigorous nationwide movement to eliminate the demons was launched On the surface,  The form is great.  The Sea Tribe¡¯s combat power is strong, but they also have a fatal weakness, which is their fear of fire. When everyone is suppressing demons, how can these small groups of Sea Tribe monsters make waves?  But the senior people in Taoyuan who have really seen the terrifying sight of the Hai Clan's destruction of civilization are worried.  The real threat has not yet come, and the overwhelming sea army, like the ruined civilization of locusts passing through, is deeply imprinted in their minds.  ¡°One, ten, or hundreds of sea tribes will not pose a threat to humans, but thousands, ten thousand, or one hundred thousand.  With the fighting power of human beings, they cannot resist it.  " Moreover, at this time, Yang Zheng, the god among all believers in the devil's teachings, has not come back yet.  Without the "Son of God" in doctrinal propaganda, the "Doomsday Son of God theory" may eventually evolve into "Doomsday theory", and everyone will be in danger and their faith will collapse.  Once that happens, humanity will be doomed!  Xiuluo sent the charred corpse to Taoyuan, and after obtaining some information, he hurried back to Senxue.  The border of the Western Region was conquered by him, and it was also an important territory for the Holy Fire Cult encircled by the coalition forces on the south bank of the Niam River.  He doesn't want to give up, nor is he willing to give up.  Even if the Hai Clan army comes.  I will also block them under this snowy city. Shuluo held the hilt of the heavy sword on his waist and swore fiercely.  The tributaries of the Kesuer River are divided into two on one side outside Senxue City, one runs through the city, and the other passes along the south gate of Raocheng. The two tributaries merge into tributaries again in the east of the city and flow towards the Bisili Desert.  This tributary is an important line of defense that Senxue relies on, but now it must not give up.  The Sea Clan are already extremely brave on land, if they are allowed to enter the water.  It might as well be more powerful.  So the river must be diverted.  At this time, the city wall was in full swing. After Xiuluo came back, he urgently met with His Majesty the Second Prince, and showed the image of the sea clan obtained from Taoyuan to the second prince. The second prince was indeed shocked and agreed to Xiuluo's suggestion.  River diversion is such a big project.  After successive experiences of the Black Death and wars, the manpower of Yelang Kingdom was sharply reduced at this time.  It took almost all the efforts of the whole country to change the river running through the central city to a tributary that bypasses the south gate in just one month.  The clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and the weather is getting darker. As time goes by, I see that the fortifications under the city have almost been built. The river that originally ran through the middle city has been cut off by them, and high walls have been built at the original port terminals.  .  A trench twenty meters wide, two meters deep, and thirty miles long was dug outside the city gate, almost circumnavigating the city.  The excavated soil was used to strengthen the city walls.  Make a fort.  A large number of troops on the outside are responsible for strengthening the walls and clearing the country.  The fire burned for several days and has now been extinguished. There is no grass growing outside the city and there is bare and scorched earth everywhere. A few soldiers took a few steps across the ditch to test the ground, but the scorched black ground is still hot.  Thick smoke slowly emerged from the cracks in the soil and lingered for a long time.  Taoyuan Chamber of Commerce continuously delivers kerosene, flame stone powder and other items.  The arsenal is working day and night to manufacture large quantities of rockets and explosives.  And Shuluo began to train soldiers day and night.  Facing these sea monsters with extremely powerful individual soldiers, it is useless to rely solely on personal bravery, and the types of soldiers must also be drastically changed. The usual training in swordsmanship and swordsmanship is completely abandoned, and all soldiers must be converted into archers.  Shield Soldier.  Pikemen.  Not to mention bows and arrows, the main training is still on shield soldiers and spear soldiers.  The so-called shield soldier does not have a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.  Aiming at the features of the Sea Clan, which are extremely powerful and fast.  Xiuluo asked Taoyuan's armorers to design a large iron shield that required four people to use. The shield was two and a half meters high and three meters wide. It was simply a big iron lump with a thick iron plate on the outside.  There is a thick layer of elastic cotton in the middle, which can offset the force, and there is another layer of iron plate inside, because the shield is large and heavy, and there are pulleys underneath.  As long as this shield is connected, it can build a steel city wall in front of the formation. The shield soldiers can choose powerful men at once, even if they are sea monsters, it is not easy to break through such a shield wall.  If the shield array is opened, the four scattered shields can also form an iron bucket, with several spearmen surrounding it, constantly moving along the lines on the shield.The hole is stabbed outward, making it impossible to guard against.  " To train these shield soldiers, a lot of effort must be expended. Shuluo's focus is on this.  It¡¯s another busy day.  The disbandment signal on the drill ground had just sounded, and the soldiers, panting after a day of training, lay weakly on the ground.  The setting sun is burning in the west, and it gets dark late in the border areas. A sunset hangs in the west, staining the clouds like drops of blood.  Kalu is a shield soldier. He was originally a low-level man who pulled ships to carry cargo at the dock. Because he heard that the guard army wanted to recruit strong men who could lift two hundred stones, the treatment was very generous. Kalu was moved after hearing this.  Knowing that he could get rid of his status as a lower-class person by joining the city guard army, he signed up to try his luck. Unexpectedly, he won. Moreover, as soon as he was assigned to join the army, he received a month's military pay, which was enough three gold coins, which was enough for him to serve in the army.  The dock has been carrying local cargo for half a year.  The overjoyed Karu has since become a member of the Shield Battalion of the Shuluo Army's city guard.  It wasn't until I joined the shield camp that I realized that three gold coins a month's military pay was not that easy to get. Every day, I had to resist a large shield with nearly 800 stone power. Even though there were four people per shield and there were rollers underneath,  Training for six or seven hours every day, following orders to move, gather, disperse, form formations, crawl my nerves were so stretched that I was about to break.  Often at the end of the day, it¡¯s difficult to even move my fingers when I lie down on the bed.  There has been so much turmoil recently, with rivers being diverted, trenches being dug, and weeds being burned. He had vaguely heard of the sea monsters, but he had never thought of them in that direction.  At this time, a burst of rapid hoofbeats passed through the training ground, and the knight on the horse was holding a small purple flag.  The shield soldiers who were lying on the ground looked at the horses passing by and started talking for a while.  The surprised voices of several old men who had been transferred from the military camp also reached Karu¡¯s ears.  "Purple fire flag, emergency military situation!" The crowd was noisy, not knowing what was going on.  Kalu also held on to his body. He felt panic and confusion in his heart. He heard the four words "emergency military situation" in his ears. He had never been on the battlefield. Although he did not understand the true meaning of these four words, he also knew  This is probably closely related to these soldiers. Is war coming?  After waiting for a long time, I suddenly heard a dense rumble of drum beats, which was like a shock to everyone's hearts.  A flag officer rushed out and shouted at the soldiers who were still sitting on the training ground: "Arrow camp, shield camp, spear camp, all soldiers, listen carefully, General Shuluo has ordered, all troops go up  City." With a roar, the recruits in the training ground made a noise.  The flag officer frowned. His official position was not big, but he had the position of supervision. Hearing the noise, he roared at the officers: "Are they all dead? Restrict the troops and not go to the city wall within two quarters of an hour.  Engage in military law!" Those officers were not new recruits. They immediately rushed into the field with their own soldiers and kicked up the noisy recruits who were still lying on the ground.  "Fuck you, get up quickly, you didn't even hear the fucking order, whoever delays for a moment longer, I'll chop him to death!" These officers usually train soldiers, and the new recruits are fucked to death. In their eyes, they are far away.  Scarier than the flag officers and generals, they immediately dared not say a word, dragged their tired bodies to their feet, filed out under the command of the officers, and ran towards the city wall.
