Shui Qinglan carefully observed the surrounding environment. After a week, a worried look appeared on her face: "Jiang Yu, are you really determined to develop here?" "What if those monsters continue to pour out of the devil's cave..." Then their territory will be in trouble! "But there is nothing we can do at the moment, and if we can stabilize this place, I think it would be great." Jiang Yu pointed to the surrounding area and said, "I looked around. There are many trees and vegetation areas outside the cave. There are also many support points in the barren land, which is quite a lot." Combined with the Ear of Harvest, there are definitely enough resources in this place. So the only problem at the moment lies in the monsters in the cave. He looked towards the star-gazing star: "Are the monsters here of high level?" Guan Xingchen said: "There are very high-level ones, but they usually don't go out, and there are not many of them. They usually hide deep in the cave as leaders." "Most of the monsters are of very low levels, some are even level 12 or 13. The most troublesome thing about the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts is the number of monsters. There are so many of them." "Oh, that's no problem. I'll send generals to guard 12 of these 8 large caves, and leave the remaining 4 to you. That should be no problem, right?" Jiang Yu looked at Shui Qinglan and Luo Yucheng.

He currently has 14 generals in his territory. They are Lü Bu, Lu Ban, Wang Jian, Meng Gong, Bai Qi, Li Guang, Zhao Yun, Li Jing, Yang Dayan, Li Cunxiao, Cao Ding, Huo Qubing, Yuwen Kai, and Cai Lun. Among them, there are 11 military generals. With their strength, it wouldn't be a big problem for one person to guard the place. If 8 people are sent to guard, there will be 3 people left to move freely. Barely enough. However, Shui Qinglan and Luo Yucheng were all shocked when they heard this: "You're guarding 8?" Jiang Yu guards two-thirds of it alone? What a joke! Jiang Yu said, "Don't rush to refuse. You know that my generals are very strong, and many of them have high command. With their strength, it is not a problem for one person to guard a cave, but your generals can't do it." Shui Qinglan didn't say anything. With her level of military command, she would need at least two generals to guard a cave together. Jiang Yu continued: "Also, another advantage of the Ten Thousand Beast Demon Cave is that the monsters inside live in the cave. Every time they emerge, they are restricted by the cave's terrain, resulting in a small number of them emerging. This also puts little pressure on the soldiers." There are 12 caves, and you don’t need to send too many people to defend them, provided that... the generals can hold on. Guan Xingchen said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Once the monsters in the cave find that they can't get out, they will call on more monsters to attack. If they still can't get out, they will finally send out the elites." "Each elite monster has strong individual strength. If the monsters are considered as soldiers, then the elites are their generals." "At this time, it depends on the level of your generals." Lu Bu behind Jiang Yu sneered: "It's just a beast, no problem!" Guan Xingchen glanced at Lu Bu and said nothing. In fact, he had heard from Guan Fengyun that Jiang Yu's generals seemed very strong.

He himself had seen it before. So he could probably understand Jiang Yu's thoughts. But can Jiang Yu's generals really stop those elite monsters? Still an unknown... After all, ideas are ideas and reality is reality. "Okay, I'll accompany you here. If you need anything next, just use the panel of the Observatory." Guanxingchen left. Jiang Yu, Shui Qinglan and Luo Yucheng immediately started defensive work. Jiang Yu knew very well that the first priority was to select 11 people from the 8 generals under his command to defend the magic cave. In fact, they all have to be rotated anyway, so it doesn’t matter who you choose. The key is to ensure the stability of the defense. In addition to the selection of military generals, Jiang Yu also specially invited Li Jing and Meng Gong to study defensive formations together. They sat around the map, carefully analyzing the terrain of the cave and the possible attack routes of the monsters, and discussing how to build the most effective defensive fortifications outside the cave. "We need to set up multiple lines of defense at the entrance of the cave and use the terrain advantage to weaken the monsters' offensive." Li Jing pointed to a location on the map and said seriously. Meng Gong added: "We also need to set up emergency shelters behind the defense line so that soldiers can go there for immediate treatment if they are injured." Jiang Yu listened to their suggestions and nodded continuously. He already had a preliminary defense plan in his mind. In short, defending the demon cave is the most urgent task at present, and it takes priority over reorganizing the territory and exploring the surrounding environment. If the monsters in the cave suddenly emerge at this time and they are not prepared, the battle will be extremely difficult and they may even face the risk of failure. Therefore, he must go all out to ensure the smooth progress of the defense. A day passed quickly, and the defensive fortifications outside the magic cave had taken shape. Under Jiang Yu's command, the soldiers were busy building various defensive facilities. Fences were firmly erected in key positions, and turrets and artillery were precisely placed at corresponding defense points to ensure that the firepower advantage could be maximized. At this time, the number of soldiers under Jiang Yu's command was about 600,000. He stood on a high place, overlooking the entire defense layout, silently calculating in his mind. Considering the size of the cave and the possible scale of the monster's attack, Jiang Yu believed that there was no need to place too many soldiers outside each cave for defense. "It should be enough to send 20,000 soldiers outside each cave." Jiang Yu thought to himself. According to this deployment, the eight caves would require a total of 160,000 soldiers to defend. As a result, the number of soldiers available to Jiang Yu was suddenly reduced to more than 400,000. This number is actually not considered strong in front of any lord in the elite zone, and it can even be said to be a bit weak. However, Jiang Yu was not very worried about this. This area is very dangerous. Apart from those who have to come, basically no one would choose to stay here.

Therefore, although the number of soldiers is not large, as long as they can guard the entrance to the magic cave and ensure that monsters do not pour out in large numbers, they will have enough time to reorganize the territory and develop their strength. But at this moment, a rumbling sound was heard from inside the cave and the mountain. All kinds of debris slid down the mountain. It’s like thousands of horses galloping inside the mountain! "This is……" Luo Yucheng, Shui Qinglan and others present all changed their expressions. "Could it be that... a monster is about to come out?!" At this time, Li Jing shouted loudly in front of the battle line: "The monster is coming." "All troops, prepare for defense!" (End of this chapter)
