The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Chen Subaru saw that the armored man flying toward him was tall, with broad shoulders and strong muscles, showing off his strong physique that he had trained over the years. On his dark face, a pair of bright eyes revealed determination and bravery that no one dared to underestimate. The big man's hair is close to his scalp, revealing his rigorous style. His lips were tightly pursed, revealing a resolute character that was awe-inspiring.

The big man wore a wide belt around his waist, and hung a Beifu Army standard magic sword. He wore a gorgeous cloak on his shoulders, and his chest and back were covered with thick black armor. The formations engraved on the black armor protected him from enemy attacks. The edge of the black armor is carefully inlaid with gold edges, showing his identity as a general.

When he came near, the big man saluted and handed the token back to Chen Subaru, and said: "I am Zhou Wentai, the former military governor of Beifu, and the leader of the Lujun military town. I don't know if Master Wen Ruo is going to Xiapi, here. Any advice from Lu County in the northwest?"

After hearing Zhou Wentai's words, Chen Subaru was extremely embarrassed in his heart, but on the surface he acted very calmly. He said in a calm tone: "I was going to Xiapi. Along the way, I heard that there was chaos in the north from the saints, so I went to help, but I didn't know. What’s going on now?”

This was originally a cover made by Chen Subaru. He only heard that this northern military town had been stationed for many years and no large-scale war had occurred. However, in recent months, there seemed to be saint scouts wandering outside the military town. He thought of it temporarily. An excuse, since he now knew the direction, he sent Zhou Wentai away. He planned to correct the direction and fly directly to Xiapi.

Unexpectedly, after Chen Subaru said these words, Zhou Wentai's face actually showed joy, and he quickly saluted again and said: "Young Master Wenruo is a righteous man, please discuss it in detail in the military town camp below!"

Chen Wentai's reaction made Chen Subaru's heart sink. He didn't expect that the excuse he made turned out to be wrong. If he had known it earlier, he would have told the truth, but now he can't shirk it even if he wants to.

Although Chen Subaru kept thinking in his mind, on the surface he still smiled kindly and said: "Please protect me, Zhou Ling."

The two quickly entered the main hall of the military town camp. Since this is a military town, they must face powerful enemy threats at any time, so there are no unnecessary facilities in the military town building. The hall is just a meeting place with a topographic map hanging on it. Apart from lighting facilities and a few seats, there are no extra furnishings in the hall.

After Zhou Wentai took Chen Subaru into the military town, Chen Subaru scanned the military town with his spiritual consciousness and found that the number of people was not as large as he thought. In addition to hundreds of mortals, there were only about fifty monks.

In front of the map, Chen Subaru asked: "Master Zhou, I don't know if it is because of the location, but the number of people in this military town seems to be a little sparse. If the Holy Clan army attacks, it may not be easy for these people to defend this military town."

Zhou Wentai frowned when he heard this and said, "Young Master Wenruo, you don't know the current situation!"

He pointed at Lu County on the map and then moved diagonally upward to Taishan County, and then continued: "Half a month ago, the military town of Taishan County sent an emergency request for help to the surrounding areas. Our three military towns of Lu County, Dongping County, and Jibei County combined Five hundred monks above the Qi Gathering Realm and a thousand mortal auxiliary troops were dispatched to assemble in Juping and camped near Yangguanting along the Wenshui River.

It is said that several other military towns also sent many monks to rescue. "

Later, Zhou Wentai nodded to Taishan County and said: "However, the reinforcements from all walks of life have now encountered a very troublesome problem. According to the order of the former military governor of the Beifu Army, if the military town is attacked, the reinforcements from all walks of life must be protected by the Yellow River Defense Line Reinforcements are unified and controlled.

But this time, after Taishan County was attacked, the Yellow River defense line did not send reinforcements, and the former military governor's office did not send any instructions. The reinforcements from all walks of life were not uniformly dispatched, and there were no offensive and defensive instructions. Even now, there is no information on the battle situation. Can search by our own scouts.

The situation of the enemy is unknown now. Under such circumstances, if they rush into the military town of Taishan County, the soldiers at the front are worried that they will be ambushed by the saints. I'm worried that the reinforcements from our various military towns will be attacked outside the military towns. They will be unable to enter the military towns and will not be able to retreat. Not only will they not be able to relieve the siege of Taishan County, each military town will also lose a large number of sergeants..."

Zhou Wentai hesitated for a moment, but continued: "What I am most worried about is the current situation of the Yellow River defense line. If the Saint army presses the border and the Yellow River defense line is breached, and we are still contained here, then the Saint army will break through all the way to It’s within the borders of southern Xuzhou.”

Chen Subaru was in a confused state at this time. He originally just wanted to ask for directions, but he didn't expect to enter a very complicated battle situation. And according to Zhou Wentai, the situation seems to be a bit complicated, and even involves the future. The safety of Southern Xuzhou, considering that the main body has not yet returned, Chen Subaru, as a clone, cannot ignore this situation.

So he suppressed the thought of running away and said, "Master Zhou, in your opinion, what should I do?"

After hearing Chen Subaru's words, Zhou Wentai said with some emotion: "Young Master Wenruo, I don't know why, but the Chen family has hidden your cultivation level. But now that you no longer deliberately hide it, you can help us." Very busy."

He paused for a moment, calmed down his excitement and continued: "That's it. The reinforcements from our three military towns have been stationed in Yangguanting for three days. The news brought back by the scouts they sent is not optimistic. From the enemy's attack on Mount Tai Judging from the situation in Junjun Town, their overall strength is higher than ours. Moreover, judging from the areas that scouts cannot explore, I am afraid that they are also more numerous than us.

It is inconvenient to hide the number of our troops, and once they are dispersed, it may be easier for the enemy to defeat them one by one. Now the enemy may have discovered the location of our army. Judging from the fact that they are not in a hurry to break through Taishan County, they should be secretly encircling us. military.

Since our Shanxi Northern Army has gone to battle and has not seen the enemy yet, it is impossible to retreat without a fight. The news sent back from our army yesterday is that the army is setting up defenses based on the abandoned buildings of Yangguanting.

The biggest problem we face at present is the lack of high-level monks. Although our army can use formations to confront the enemy, our army's alchemy monks are basically concentrated on the Yellow River defense line. There are very few garrisoned in each military town, and News from the front said that the enemy army may be led by Nascent Soul monks. This made me worry that if the enemy's high-level monks took action, our temporary formation might not be able to hold on. "

Looking at Zhou Wentai's expectant eyes, Chen Subaru said helplessly: "Then let's go and have a look first. But..."

Before Chen Subaru could tell the conditions, Zhou Wentai said first: "Young master Wen Ruo, don't worry. You are here just to help build up the momentum. You don't have to fight with the enemy. If the situation cannot be saved, we will fight to the death to ensure that you are fully recovered." retreat."
