Book of Disaster

If we really want to investigate, the person will be beheaded in public.

Bai Qi didn't believe that Zhao Hanyan didn't know the seriousness of the matter.

After these words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

In the end, it was Zhao Hanyan who broke the silence.

"Sir, please report it if you want. Besides, it's not that we want to conceal military intelligence, but it's useless to report it."

Zhao Hanyan said calmly:

“Initially, we also reported it.”

"Last time we reported, the Marshal even sent out his closest personal soldiers. How can we continue to ask for reinforcements?"

"The only thing we can do is to try every possible means to reduce casualties as much as possible, hold out for a little longer, and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court."

"In addition, the situation is serious now. Other brothers are also short of troops. The entire North Sea is short of troops in all directions. If we withdraw troops here, it will cause problems in the defense of other bases. If they fall or are lost, what should we do then?"

Zhao Hanyan said.

"this!--"

Bai Qi was silent, his brows furrowed even deeper.

Personal guard?!

Is the situation here serious enough for Grandpa to send out his personal guards?

This was something Bai Qi never expected.

He recalled that when he arrived at the North Sea yesterday, the Divine Guards' base camp was full of joy and excitement, and he thought the situation was not that bad.

But now it seems that all this is most likely an illusion deliberately created by grandpa in order not to worry himself.

"It seems that grandpa's current situation is much more serious than I thought."

Bai Qi said secretly, feeling a lot heavier in his heart.

He suddenly understood why his grandfather, with his character, had not asked the court for reinforcements for decades, but had recently gone against his usual practice.

——The situation here is really not optimistic.

But soon, a sharp light flashed in Bai Qi's eyes:

"Now that I have come to Beihai, I cannot sit idly by. No matter what, I must help Grandpa solve the current predicament and stabilize the situation in Beihai!"

"And the first step is to repair the Four Symbols Water Controlling Demon Subduing Formation!"

Thinking of this, Bai Qi came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Hanyan and others.

"General Zhao, I received news that there is a problem with the Four Symbols Water Controlling Demon Subduing Formation here. It is running slower and slower and is expected to stop soon. - Can you take me to have a look first?"

Bai Qi said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding North Sea Divine Guards looked at each other with strange expressions.

Zhao Hanyan, on the other hand, looked normal.

"In that case, then follow me, sir."

Zhao Hanyan said calmly.

Soon, under the leadership of Zhao Hanyan, Bai Qi headed towards the center of the Wuchao Region.

After walking only a few hundred meters——

"Be careful, sir, there's a trap!"

Just as Bai Qi raised his foot, Zhao Hanyan suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Bai Qi was stunned.

There was just an ordinary weed field in front of him, and there was nothing special about it. But the next moment, Bai Qi's mental power swept over and immediately discovered something unusual.

Just below the grass, there was a deep pit filled with sharp blades and spikes.

A trap of this level certainly poses no threat to Bai Qi.

But in this trap, Bai Qi actually found a Yuan Qi crystal, a self-destruct formation, and a small, sophisticated breath concealing formation.

If you're not careful, you might actually step into it.

"In order to minimize casualties, we changed our battle strategy and set up many self-destruct traps on the island. These formations are not aimed at you, and I know they can't hurt you, but this is an ambush by Wu Yuchao's defense forces, so please don't detonate them."

Zhao Hanyan said in a deep voice.

"..."

Bai Qi.

"You set up all these formations?"

"Yes."

Zhao Hanyan nodded:

"I have learned a little bit of formation before, but I am not very proficient in it."

"Besides, we don't have enough manpower, so we can only use this dense, numerous traps and self-destruct formations to protect the Wuchao area."

"Before each battle, we will try our best to lure the sea creatures to the island, use traps to consume their strength, and then fight them when they are almost done."

"During this period, the remaining 200 of us were able to barely hold on using this method."

"Of course, if you're lucky, some of the Weiyinghai people can be killed directly if they step on a few more traps."

Zhao Hanyan said.

Water is impermanent.

A thousand people have their own fighting methods, and two hundred people have their own fighting methods. Taking advantage of the situation and being able to adapt to circumstances is also the basic quality of a general.

Even Bai Qi had to admit that this was indeed the best way to deal with the situation at the moment.

"No wonder the island is so devastated. There are traces of fighting everywhere. It's in ruins..."

Bai Qi nodded and couldn't help but look up to Zhao Hanyan.

"I see."

Next.

"Be careful, sir, there are traps here too!"

"careful!"

"trap!"

……

Under the leadership of Zhao Hanyan, Bai Qi went around in circles and spent half an hour before he successfully arrived at the main city of Wuchao Territory.

It is called the main city, but it is actually more like a fortress.

The fortress is black all over and made of unknown black rock. It is heavy, steady, majestic and mysterious.

There are powerful Divine Guards guarding the top of the city, making the scene extremely strict.

Looking closely, the black city wall is also covered with traces of various battles, adding a breath of smoke and war.

"Sir, we are here."

Zhao Hanyan spoke, and soon took Bai Qi into the main city and came to a square in the center of the city.

The square is very wide and the ground is also black. In the middle and around it stand huge, ancient stone pillars, on which are carved the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and various ancient sea beasts, which are very special.

Standing in the square, Bai Qi was alert and immediately felt a faint fluctuation of the formation, but it was not obvious.

While hesitating, Zhao Hanyan walked straight to the stone pillar in the center of the square. She clasped her hands together and embedded a special token into the stone pillar.

Obviously, this stone pillar is the core of the entire magic circle.

"start!"

Zhao Hanyan shouted loudly and injected the tremendous power in his body into the stone pillar.

In an instant, the earth shook, and all the stone pillars immediately burst out with bright light and emitted thick water vapor. The sea beasts carved on them seemed to come alive, and they let out earth-shaking roars that echoed through the void.

However, what concerned Bai Qi the most was the sounds of mechanisms coming from deep underground, as if some terrifying existence had been activated.
