Fortunately, he still managed to hold on.
But for now, Jiang Yu can only say that he has temporarily overcome the first problem they faced.
After successfully stabilizing the situation in the Demonic Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Jiang Yu soon realized that the most difficult problem he had to solve at present was the available troops at hand.
Currently, he has a serious shortage of available troops.
There are only 200,000 people at his command and deployment. This number of people cannot make any waves at all in the elite area.
Among the 200,000 people, there are only three generals left who can take on the important task of leading troops in battle.
Such a configuration of troops and generals is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for Jiang Yu. It can be said to be extremely small and far from being able to meet his subsequent strategic deployment and combat plan.
In comparison, the situation in Luoyu City and Shui Qinglan is not much better.
Although Luo Yucheng and Shui Qinglan only need to share the remaining four caves.
But their generals are far less powerful than Jiang Yu's.
So they could only send more soldiers to make up for it.
But all this was within Jiang Yu’s expectation.
Since he chose to come to this remote and dangerous place to seek development, he naturally did so carefully.
“OK, the next priority is to strengthen the defense.”
Jiang Yu looked at his own soldiers: "Contact Qinglan and Luo Yucheng immediately, and ask them to defend their territory without any loss."
In the current situation where available manpower is extremely scarce, , taking the defensive is undoubtedly the wisest choice.
Moreover, he had a hunch in his heart that even if they were far away from the original place of dispute and came to this remote corner, they might not be able to completely avoid the conflict...
If Luo What Yucheng told him before about the code of conduct of the lords in the elite area is true, so those lords in the elite area may still attack them.
For example, the territory closest to them is Shenju's territory in the south.
Shen Ju is only an average lord in the elite area, but even so, his level is as high as level 15.
Although he is only one level higher than Jiang Yu and the others, he owns 9 territories, has a total population of more than 40 million, and has at least three to four million troops!
Considering that Jiang Yu and the others still have to suppress the monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave, he alone can bring a devastating blow to Jiang Yu and the others by casually sending an army over!
Therefore, it is very possible for this Shenju to send troops to attack them.
So he must also think of ways to deal with the enemy's attack in advance.
Next, Jiang Yu began to deploy the defense line.
He asked his three available generals to each lead a portion of their troops, totaling 200,000 troops, and quickly and orderly deploy their defenses according to the pre-planned plan.
To the north of the territory is the towering Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave is located in this high mountain.
Therefore, the human soldiers focused their main attention on the north.
They used various fortifications and advanced defense methods to block the entrances to those caves.
Try your best to suppress the monsters inside that are ready to move, not letting them have the slightest chance to rush out.
As for the territory Jiang Yu needs to defend, he mainly focuses on the south.
After all, the left and right sides are the territories of Shui Qinglan and Luoyu City respectively, so he does not need to worry too much about being attacked from these two directions.
However, in addition to defending the southern direction, their territory also needs to take care of both the east and west directions, so the pressure is a bit too much. Shui Qinglan's territory is located on the left side of Jiang Yu, so she needs to additionally defend the area to the west.
The territory of Luoyu City is on Jiang Yu's right, so he needs to be additionally responsible for the defense on the east side.
No matter how you look at it, the troops are not enough.
“With too few troops, we can only defend, not attack... But once the opponent goes around and attacks the garrison at the foot of Wanshou Mountain...”
Then the enemy is likely to fight with the monsters in Wanshou Mountain. Attack their human group from front to back!
This is more deadly than burning food and grass.
But there is nothing you can do. There are few troops in the early stage, so you can only take a defensive stance first.
As for how to neutralize the enemy's attack... we can only act on our own initiative when the time comes.
The territory of Jiang Yu and the others has initially stabilized.
However, there was an undercurrent surging beneath the calm. On the periphery of their territory, numerous reconnaissance troops from all races were wandering like ghosts, always peeping at this newly transferred territory.
As the level of the territory continues to rise, the investigation methods of Wanzu are also changing with each passing day and becoming more advanced.
After reaching the elite level, they have mastered various invisibility spells and can approach the target silently.
For example, various flying magical arts allow them to fly freely in the air and overlook everything.
There are also various far-sighted magics that can see through obstacles and see what's going on in the distance.
These advanced investigation methods have undoubtedly greatly improved their investigation efficiency.
Although the human race has also made considerable progress and developed a high-tech product such as reconnaissance aircraft, there is still a lack of effective methods to drive them away in the face of the cunning and changeable nature of the ten thousand race reconnaissance forces.
As a result, Wanzu’s reconnaissance troops were able to frequently succeed and successfully detect the situation on Longevity Mountain.
The purpose of their trip was clear and they were well prepared.
The main task is to observe whether Jiang Yu can gain a foothold in the important strategic location of Wanshou Mountain.
When they saw that Jiang Yu and the others not only successfully defended the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave, but also controlled the situation in an orderly manner, they were all shocked.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, spreading quickly among all races. The lords of all races who originally sent out exploration troops all showed expressions of disbelief.
“What, Jiang Yu actually succeeded in guarding the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave?”
"How is this possible? The number of monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave is huge and diverse. Even if we deploy all our troops, we may not be able to defend it!" A lord of all races exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes, how did Jiang Yu and the others do it? Does the human race have any secret weapons, or did they get some advice from an expert?" Another lord of all races also asked with doubts on his face.
“Huh, even if they can hold on now, it’s only temporary.”
“There are endless monsters in the Beast Demon’s Cave, and sooner or later they will not be able to hold on!” One person The jealous Centaur lord snorted coldly, trying to use such words to comfort his inner loss.
At the same time, in Tianzhi City located on Tianzhi Island in the elite area, Yu Wanyi also received this exciting information.
She was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"It seems that Jiang Yu and the others have stabilized the situation, which is great." Yu Wanyi was extremely happy. She knew what this meant, that the human race had another hope and strength.
As a human lord in the elite area, Yu Qiu was quite happy to learn this information.
