A rare opportunity

Chapter 768 Preparation before the war

Vulture naturally wouldn't believe that relying solely on this wall and a few blackened iron rods could withstand the attacks of the powerful human race. But he believed that Li Yu would have a backup plan! After all, Li Yu never boasted!

Mu Chengqi, who was debugging the spiritual cannon, seemed to know that Li Yu was coming and said without raising his head:

"Boy! The spiritual cannons have been basically debugged, and only this last one remains. It's a pity that there are too few of them. If I had known earlier, I would have refined a few more and made sure these bastards would never come back!"

That's right! In the vulture's eyes, the black iron rod was a spiritual cannon! These spiritual cannons were originally installed on the spacecraft, but when Li Yu noticed a large number of human cultivators invading, he came up with the idea on the spur of the moment.

You have to know that the enemy's strength is far superior to ours. If we insist on fighting head-on, the ultimate outcome is inevitable defeat! Of course, we can just walk away, or take the vultures with us. But, we can't take all the monsters with us!

If I leave and leave these low-level monsters behind, they will inevitably become the target of the human race's anger! For the monster race, it will be a catastrophe of genocide!

This was unacceptable to Li Yu! No matter what, he had to prevent this catastrophe from happening! So he thought of the Spirit Cannon! You know, back on Blue Jade Star, the Spirit Cannon had repeatedly achieved military success! Although the Spirit Cannon at that time had no power against Saint-level cultivators, and even had little effect on Nascent Soul cultivators, the deterrent effect caused by its explosion could not be underestimated!

Therefore, he thought of using spiritual cannons to deter the enemy from launching a large-scale attack, thus giving his side the opportunity to defeat the enemy one by one.

Of course, the number of these spiritual cannons originally installed on the spacecraft was naturally not too many, with only nine! Killing a large number of the enemy was basically impossible! However, unleashing the power of the spiritual cannons and intimidating the enemy should be enough.

"Senior, there's no need to worry! The purpose of spiritual cannons is to intimidate. Having a few of these is more than enough!"

Li Yu smiled immediately.

Indeed, if a few more spiritual cannons were deployed, the deterrent effect would be even greater. As for Mu Chengqi's suggestion of making sure the enemy had no chance of returning, he simply laughed it off! You have to remember that while the enemy only had a million men, over 30% of them were cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above! In his experience, spiritual cannons couldn't harm them at all.

"Shock? You look down on my spiritual cannon so much? Just wait and see!"

Mu Chengqi glared, muttered a few words, and then ignored Li Yu, and focused on adjusting the last spiritual cannon.

Li Yu, feeling bored, led Vulture to inspect the several cannons that had been tuned. Beside each cannon stood a cultivator brought by Li Yu, surrounded by a dozen demonic beasts. These carefully selected, intelligent demonic beasts listened to the human cultivators' explanation of how to operate the cannons.

You know, it takes at least six people to operate a single spiritual cannon. Li Yu only brought a dozen people with him, barely enough to operate two spiritual cannons! If you want to fire all nine spiritual cannons simultaneously, you must have the participation of demon beasts.

However, demon beasts were still demon beasts after all. Even if they possessed spiritual awareness, they were still no match for the wisdom of an ordinary human. Therefore, learning was naturally extremely slow. Fortunately, these human cultivators were well prepared and patiently explained and demonstrated the techniques over and over again.

Of course, these demon beasts weren't taught the most crucial aspects of controlling spirit cannons, like aiming and firing. They were simply taught simple tasks, like carrying cannonballs and refining spirit stones... Even then, the human cultivators had to go through tremendous painstaking effort to teach them what they were supposed to do.

Looking at Hua Zirong, Qian Youzu, and Park Chengxian explaining seriously, Li Yu couldn't help but feel relieved when he thought of their former dandies! These three old brothers have not only grown in their cultivation, but their minds have also grown!

From them, Li Yu thought of Mu Xue, Wu Ling'er, Hua Yu, the sisters from Plum Blossom Valley, and Yao Junlan, who was nowhere to be found! Are they all okay now?

Just as Li Yu was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Yin Zijuan's voice behind him.

"Junior Brother Li! The city has been built. The monsters have also assembled and are ready to meet the enemy's attack at any time!"

After hearing Yin Zijuan's words, Vulture, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask:

"Fairy Yin! I have something I don't understand. Please help me clear it up!"

"Brother Ying, you don't have to be so polite. I will tell you everything I know!"

"I don't understand why we'd bother building such a wall just to house a few spiritual cannons? Wouldn't a few mounds of earth be enough? This wall can't stop the attacks of those human masters!"

"Brother Ying is absolutely right! But this city wall isn't meant to stop the enemy, it's meant to stop us!"

"What...what does this mean?"

"Brother Eagle! Please forgive my frankness! The demons have always preferred to fight on their own, like a pile of loose sand, and it's difficult to unite them. If we want them to learn to fight together in such a short period of time, I'm afraid it's unlikely!"

But the enemy we face this time is extremely powerful, and we must unite to have any hope of defeating them! Therefore, we must restrain the entire demon race.

For a monster accustomed to freedom, the most intolerable thing is being restrained by others! Without restraint, it is difficult to form a united force! On the battlefield, it may collapse at the first touch!

They can't accept the constraints of others, so they can only rely on the constraints of geography and terrain! Whether it's human or monster, when there's no way to retreat, they can only fight to the death! This wall is built to restrain the monsters, leaving them with no way to retreat and no choice but to fight to the death!

Yin Zijuan talked for a long time, but the vulture was still confused! He asked doubtfully:

"You...you want all the monsters to leave the city and fight?"

"Well... not entirely! It's just... I can't explain it clearly right now. You'll know when the time comes!"

Yin Zijuan pondered.

Although the vulture had a lot of questions, he didn't dare to ask any more.

At this moment, a figure appeared beside them. He whispered to Li Yu:

"They're coming!"

"What's coming will eventually come! Brother Hou, Senior Sister Yin, inform everyone to prepare to defend against the enemy! Brother Yin! Please go and assist Senior Sister Yin in commanding the demon brothers!"

Hou Rujing, Yin Zijuan and Vulture immediately took the order and left!

In an instant, the entire city wall erupted in shouts. Whether on or off the walls, whether human or demonic, everyone braced themselves for battle! Of course, some timid demonic beasts were even scared to death!

The big white rabbit was also terrified and immediately ran to Li Yu's side. In its opinion, only by Li Yu's side could it be safe!

There were nine cannons, but not enough personnel. Even Mu Chengqi could only serve as the main gunner. Therefore, the only ones standing beside Li Yu were Hou Rujing, Xiao Qinglong, and the big white rabbit!

Li Yu stood on the city wall, staring ahead. However, his divine consciousness had already appeared in the human army!

In terms of momentum, the human army is indeed formidable! Not only are they numerous, but their morale is also high!

It's no wonder! According to their understanding, Li Yu's side has less than ten Saint-level warriors! Meanwhile, the human race has at least fifty! And there are five Saint-level cultivators above the fifth level! Not to mention the fact that there's also a Saint-level eighth-level cultivator like Deputy Sect Leader Duan Kaishan.

Although the monsters were numerous, their strength was relatively weak. Especially in terms of high-end combat power, our side was overwhelming them!

You know, what determines the outcome of a battle is often not quantity, but high-end combat power!

Therefore, from the perspective of the human race, no matter how you look at it, they are sure to win this battle!

Li Yu frowned as he looked at the scene before him! To be honest, he wasn't sure of winning this battle. But, for the sake of these countless monsters, he had to fight! If he fought, he might win a chance for the monsters to survive. If he didn't, he would only be able to watch the monster race perish!

In his view, existence is the truth! All things in the world, regardless of high or low, good or bad. Even venomous snakes and ferocious beasts have the right to survive! No one has the right to deprive others of their right to survive! Similarly, all things in the world have the right to fight for their own survival! The same goes for monsters!
