Chapter 34: Going deep into Xiling and arriving at Darkling Mountain
In the next two weeks, Tang Jin led everyone deep into Xiling.
Since the original overlord, Silver Dome Lord has died, with the strength of Tang Jin's team, he can flexibly deal with various situations even deep in the Xiling Mountains.
Therefore, everyone walked separately and quickly completed the intelligence investigation into the depths of Xiling, and investigated the current areas of several demon concentrations and resource concentrations.
Tang Jin sent this information back to Hangzhou as a reference for the next action. What Hangzhou needs to do in the future is to erode the Xiling area bit by bit based on resource areas.
However, there are still monarch creatures in Xiling. During this period, Tang Jin discovered the traces of two monarchs. Their strength is probably within the scope of ordinary monarchs. It is a bit challenging for Hangzhou City but not a big problem.
After exploring most of the information about Xiling, Tang Jin led the team to continue the journey westward.
The Xiling Mountains are very far apart from the main trunk of the Qinling Mountains. There are long and continuous mountains between them, from eastern Anhui to the edge of Shaanxi, and only some small tribes live in the middle.
You need to follow this mountain range to enter Shaanxi before you can reach the territory of another Qinling overlord Demon Butterfly - the Unswerving Mountain.
It didn't take long for everyone to fly through this narrow mountainous area using the Winged Demon Tool.
Until they entered the range of the Anling Mountain, the pace of the group's progress instantly slowed down.
Because based on previous military intelligence, Tang Jin estimated that this land had a spirit-going overlord demon.
He even had to be careful not to be manipulated without the chance to open the virtualization, which made him unable to feel at ease to let the members of the Lingshi class go deeper alone.
Therefore, Tang Jin changed his strategy and led everyone to the north to temporarily camp in the area near the outer periphery of the Anling Mountain North Ring Road. He and Ling Ban went to do different things separately.
By this period, Tang Jin no longer needed escorts to the ranks. He came and went freely in the demon group. Whether he wanted to experience himself or explore on the spot, he was more efficient alone.
Therefore, Tang Jin planned to do the exploration mission of Anling Mountain by himself, and at the same time, he looked for opportunities to make breakthroughs, while Ling Ban continued to go north.
They have already learned the situation in the Central Plains that although some demons attacked the stretching mountains before, they are in a controllable state.
The northeast of Anling Mountain is the hardest hit area for the city, and it is necessary to conduct on-site investigations to determine the solution strategy.
...
Tang Jin, who was alone, first began the survey north of the entire Dark Spirit Mountain.
If you want to invade the territory of the Central Plains, there must be ready-to-go demon troops hoarding them in this area.
Behind this demon army is a commander of high-level and wise monsters.
Like humans marching and fighting, there will be scouts to investigate, sentry patrols, and idle figures who want to come and investigate, but once they are discovered, they will soon be swallowed up by the demon tribe.
Even if there are high-level mages who are very good at hiding, they can only roughly feel the demon group on the outside.
If you want to go deeper, you may need a shadow-type super-level mage, but at this time, how can there be a super-level mage that can be vacant in Central Plains?
Only Tang Jin can walk freely in places with extremely high concentrations of demons with intermediate level cultivation.
After more than a week of investigation, Tang Jin learned that the main force heading north on the Unling Mountain was the Flying Wolf clan.
Flying wolf is a relatively aggressive race among the Qinling demons. It is scattered in the form of small tribes throughout the Qinling Mountains. It has strong mobility and often attacks small towns on the north and south sides of the Qinling Mountains.
The flying wolves gathered north of the Anling Mountain this time are very large in scale. Tang Jin has confirmed that more than a dozen flying wolves have commander-level wolf kings.
This does not pose much threat to the big city, but for the small city, an attack led by a commanding demon may cause the entire city to be destroyed.
Tang Jin has not observed the monarch-level demon yet. Because he is in the Unsing Mountain, he dare not rush directly to the innermost part of the demon group like he is in Xiling.
However, even if it is not directly observed, Tang Jin can calculate that there must be a monarch-level demon here.
At this scale, it is indeed a relatively large demon invasion.
To the north of Anling Mountain, there is a big city - Shangzhou City, which can only be considered a second-level small city.
There are several permanent super-level mages in Shangzhou City who can barely deal with the invasion of ordinary monarchs. A slightly stronger monarch needs to ask for help.
In other small cities, a commander-level demon must be on guard.
In this case, there are many alarms and aid requests in various places, and the Great Central Plains Military Region needs to coordinate the planning.
But the military region rescue cannot be done with just one order from the Army.
According to normal circumstances, each military region will have special troops to arrange full-time rescue, just like the Lingban before that of the Lingnan Military Region.
The responsibility of such troops is rescue, and in this case they have no choice but to do so. Correspondingly, their daily consumption and cultivation resources are also provided by the military.
When the conventional rescue troops have entered a state of load, but there are still dangers everywhere, it is actually difficult to find a suitable force to rescue them.
First of all, the rescue team needs sufficient strength, which excludes the huge group of initial and intermediate mages.
Then although rescue is an important matter that everyone recognizes very much, for other military commands, even if the orders of the military commanders of the Grand Military Command are to lead the team to rescue, it is not an obligation but a military order to bring meritorious deeds.
Cruel, but that's the truth.
Rescue is to defend the country, and stationing in a safe city is also a job. Experience and exploration and strengthening strength is also a promising planning behavior.
Each military department has its own clear responsibilities and performs its own duties to lead the team as its own goals. The military department as a whole is moving forward.
It is just that in terms of specific implementation, the Dajun Office needs to stand from a global perspective, coordinate the interests and risks of all parties, make appropriate compromises and commitments, and make a rescue coordination plan recognized by all parties, so that it can be practical.
Of course, there is another solution, which is to directly send direct troops to put out the fire.
However, now Jiang Tiansheng's personal guards are only enough to assist him in handling various military affairs, and there is no one available.
Therefore, although Tang Jin and his party only had eleven people, they were actually very powerful assistance. If the dispatch was obtained, the situation north of the Anling Mountain could be greatly alleviated.
Of course, easing the situation is only Tang Jin's preliminary plan. He needs to figure out the fundamental reason for this demon invasion at this stage and confirm that it is the flood caused by the normal demon Yuexi stage, or is it driven by resources or interests behind it.
Humans invade demon tribes to obtain treasures of heaven and earth, and demons often gather in groups to seek what they need in human territory. These are possible.
