Chapter 4218: Besieged City

Now they are surrounded. Once the seven points are connected into a line, with Xu Qiang's current combat power, it will cost a lot to break out of the encirclement, or even the whole team will be destroyed.

Staring at these points on the map, he imagined the battle that was about to happen. The seven positions were tightly guarded, and they could quickly rush to support each other. A team of more than a thousand people, plus well-equipped.

If you want to defeat them, you must send out a team of the same number of people to win quickly. If Xu Qiang draws out so many people, there will inevitably be a gap in his own forces.

The seven places are connected into a line. Once any one of them is attacked, the other six will arrive immediately, and the lost combatants will be replenished in time, and the consumed ammunition can also be replenished.

More than a thousand people are only a small part, and they are the elite of the mercenary group. However, such a team can exert the firepower configuration to the extreme in a short time, which brings great trouble and distress to Xu Qiang.

He kept replaying a battle that had not happened in his mind. No matter how he speculated, the final result was a disastrous defeat on his side. Of course, such a replay would completely ignore the role of Duan Zhisheng and others.

He thought that Sauron's purpose was obvious. He wanted to lay out in advance and catch all of them at that time. It was really a big deal. Xu Qiang turned and looked at Duan Zhisheng.

"Master, guess what Sauron wants to do? Is he really impatient and wants to attack first?"

Xu Qiang understood a truth. The final decisive battle would definitely start, but whoever fired the first shot would be in a disadvantageous situation.

Because once you start first, the advantages and disadvantages in firepower configuration will be exposed to the opponent at the first time, and the opponent is likely to seize this point and immediately reverse the situation.

Xu Qiang thought to himself that Sauron was a veteran and would not fail to understand such a simple truth. If he were Sauron, he would not do it so easily. He must eliminate all external factors.

However...

This time Xu Qiang's idea was wrong.

Even Duan Zhisheng did not expect that an unexpected situation would cause all the previous plans to be rearranged.

He traveled to many places this time and encountered many dangers. If he had not relied on his agility to avoid those people, I am afraid that even if he came back this time, it would be the same as last time.

Duan Zhisheng did not forget that he sneaked into the Fremen's camp at that time and met those mysterious masters. Later, it was confirmed that these people were from the Black Dragon Clan, a clan that could compete with the Xiao Clan in the past.

"Xu Qiang, what I am going to say next, you must keep your heart steady. If you are confused, we should just not fight this battle."

"Master... what happened?"

Hearing the master's words, Xu Qiang was a little nervous. Could there be a bigger trouble?

"I don't know what Sauron did a few days ago. Two days ago, I saw a large number of cultivators entering the city where Sauron was."

Although these people looked no different from ordinary people, Duan Zhisheng could feel the difference in their aura and knew that they were all cultivators.

At that time, Duan Zhisheng's first reaction was whether his induction was wrong, so he mustered up the courage to approach. When the two sides were less than ten meters away, he could confirm his speculation.

"Cultivator..."

Xu Qiang exclaimed, because in the next decisive battle, the last thing he wanted to hear was the word "cultivator".

These people are different from ordinary people. Once they participate in it, one person can block hundreds of them, and this kind of strong man is unfathomable and will cause unexpected damage in the battle.

There were such strong men around Freyman before, and because of Xiao Yi's action, these external factors were excluded, but I didn't expect to hear this bad news at this time.

"Master, didn't you say that these strong men had left here in the previous battle? Why did they still appear?"

Xu Qiang was also a person who had experienced storms, but after hearing this news, he couldn't help but feel a little panic, as if those cultivators had already appeared around them.

This was indeed surprising. Cultivators should not intervene in such battles, but sometimes accidents would happen. He thought a lot and finally came to a conclusion.

"From the information I have, these people are not targeting our mercenary group. Our mercenary group is easy for them to destroy."

"Then their purpose is..."

"To force Xiao Yi to show up!"

Duan Zhisheng said his guess. Apart from this possibility, he really couldn't think of a second one, and he had heard some rumors from the outside world.

Some things that happened in China could not escape their ears. Xiao Yi was previously plotted against by the Black Dragon Clan. How could the other party give up easily?

All the activities were carried out around Xiao Yi. He admired Xiao Yi very much. What did he do to attract other people's attention and offend the opponent, which was getting stronger and stronger.

"To force Xiao Yi to show up? This doesn't seem to be reasonable. If Xiao Yi shows up, it's Sauron who is afraid. He has tried to avoid Xiao Yi several times to launch a sneak attack on us."

Xu Qiang thought for a while and said that Sauron had wanted to kill them a long time ago, but unfortunately, because of Xiao Yi behind him, he had to be cautious. If he acted rashly, he might not succeed and would offend Xiao Yi.

How could a person who tried his best to avoid Xiao Yi still hope that Xiao Yi would join this battle? After all, Xu Qiang was Xu Qiang. He paid too little attention to the news of the cultivation world, so of course he would not understand it for a while.

"You said this because you have too little information. The grievances between the Black Dragon Clan and the Xiao Clan started a thousand years ago, and the recent news is that the Black Dragon Clan has pointed the spearhead at Xiao Yi and wants to catch him personally."

"Catch Xiao Yi? What exactly do they want to do? Since it is related to the grievances between the two clans, I think the Xiao Clan will not sit idly by."

"Hehe... It's not that simple!"

Duan Zhisheng chuckled. He learned about Xiao Yi's life experience from his junior sister. For some people, Xiao Yi's existence itself is a mistake.

Some people hope that Xiao Yi will encounter an accident, so that they can eliminate the worries in their hearts. Therefore, the last time Xiao Yi was attacked, the Xiao clan did not intervene. This is a vivid example.

"These cultivators joined Sauron's team. The reason why they support Sauron may be that Sauron agreed to a condition of theirs, otherwise they would not easily take action."

"Master, what do you mean..."

"Sauron's actions put pressure on us, so that Xiao Yi will take the initiative to show up. In this way, the goal of the Black Dragon Clan can be achieved."
