Chapter 524 Successfully defended! Fortunately, he managed to hold on. But for now, Jiang Yu can only say that he has temporarily overcome the first difficulty they face. After successfully stabilizing the situation in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave. Jiang Yu soon realized that the most difficult problem he currently had to solve was the available military forces. The troops he can currently mobilize are seriously insufficient. There were only 200,000 men at his disposal. This small number of people can't even make any waves in the elite zone! Among this army of 200,000, there were only three generals who were capable of taking on the important task of leading the troops to fight. Although it is possible to temporarily transfer a few generals who are responsible for defending the magic cave, it is not a long-term solution after all. Such a force and configuration of generals is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for Jiang Yu. It can be said to be extremely small and far from enough to meet his subsequent strategic deployment and combat plan.

The situation of Luo Yucheng and Shui Qinglan was not much better. Although Luo Yucheng and Shui Qinglan only need to share the remaining four caves. But their generals are not as strong as Jiang Yu's generals. So they had to send more soldiers to make up for it. But all this was within Jiang Yu's expectations. Since he chose to come to this remote and dangerous place to seek development, he must have thought it over carefully. "OK, the next priority is to strengthen defense." Jiang Yu looked at his personal soldiers and said, "Contact Qinglan and Luoyucheng immediately and tell them to defend their territory well and not to lose anything." In the current situation of extreme shortage of available manpower, taking a defensive stance is undoubtedly the wisest choice. Moreover, he had a premonition that even if they moved away from the original place of conflict and came to this remote corner, they might not be able to completely avoid conflict... If what Luo Yucheng had told him before about the code of conduct of the lords in the elite zone was true, then those lords in the elite zone might still attack them. For example, the territory of Shenju, which is closest to them, is located in the south. Shenju is just an average lord in the elite area, but even so, his level is as high as 15. Although he is only one level higher than Jiang Yu and the others, he owns 1 territories, with a total population of more than 9 million, and an army of at least three to four million! Considering that Jiang Yu and his men still have to suppress the monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave, if he just sends a large army over, it will bring a devastating blow to Jiang Yu and his men! Therefore, it is very likely that this Shenju sent troops to attack them. So he also needs to think about how to deal with the enemy's attack in advance. Next, Jiang Yu began to deploy the defense line. He asked the three available generals under his command to each lead a part of the troops, totaling 200,000 troops, and deployed them quickly and orderly according to the pre-planned plan.

To the north of the territory is the majestic Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Cave is located in these mountains. Therefore, the human soldiers focused their attention on the north. They used various fortifications and advanced defense methods to block the entrances to the caves. Try your best to suppress the monsters inside and don't give them any chance to rush out. As for the territory that Jiang Yu himself needed to defend, he mainly focused his energy on the south. After all, the left and right sides were the territories of Shui Qinglan and Luo Yucheng, so he didn't need to worry too much about being attacked in these two directions. However, in addition to defending the south, their territories also needed to take into account the east and west directions, which was a bit too much pressure. Shui Qinglan's territory is located on Jiang Yu's left, so she needs to additionally defend the area to the west. The territory of Luoyu City is on Jiang Yu's right side, so he needs to be additionally responsible for the defense of the east side. No matter how you look at it, the military force is not enough. "We have too few troops. We can only defend, not attack... But if the enemy attacks the garrison at the foot of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts..." There is a high possibility that the enemy will join forces with the monsters from the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts to attack their human group from the front and back! This is more deadly than burning food and grass. But there is no other way. With few troops in the early stage, we can only take a defensive stance. As for how to resolve the enemy's attack... we can only wait and see. The territory of Jiang Yu and the other two was initially stabilized. However, undercurrents surged beneath the calm. On the outskirts of their territory, numerous reconnaissance troops from all races were wandering like ghosts, always keeping an eye on this new territory. As the territory level continues to rise, the reconnaissance methods of all races are also changing with each passing day and becoming more and more advanced. After reaching the elite level, they mastered various stealth spells and were able to approach their targets silently. For example, various flying magic skills allow them to soar freely in the air and overlook everything. There are also various farsighted magics that can see through numerous obstacles and perceive what is happening in the distance. These advanced reconnaissance methods have undoubtedly greatly improved their reconnaissance efficiency. Although the human race has made considerable progress and developed the high-tech product of reconnaissance aircraft, they still lack effective methods to drive away the cunning and volatility of the reconnaissance forces of all races. Therefore, the reconnaissance troops of the Ten Thousand Races were able to succeed frequently and successfully scouted the situation on the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. The purpose of their trip was clear and they came well prepared. The main task is to observe whether Jiang Yu can gain a foothold in Wanshou Mountain, an important strategic location. And when they saw that Jiang Yu and the other two not only successfully guarded 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 and spread quickly among all races. The lords of all races who had originally sent out the exploration teams all showed expressions of disbelief.

"What? Jiang Yu actually managed to defend the Ten Thousand Beast Demon Cave?" "How is this possible? There are a huge number of monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave, and they are of many kinds. Even if we mobilize all our troops, we may not be able to defend it!" A lord of all races exclaimed in disbelief. "Yeah, how did Jiang Yu and the others do it? Does the human race have some secret weapon, or use some special means?" Another lord of all races also asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Humph, even if they can hold on now, it's only temporary." "There are endless monsters in the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts. Sooner or later, they won't be able to hold on!" A jealous Centaur lord snorted coldly, trying to use such words to comfort his inner loss. At the same time, in Tianzhi City on Tianzhi Island in the elite area, Yu Wanyi also received this exciting information. She was slightly stunned, and then a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face. "It seems that Jiang Yu and his team have stabilized the situation. That's great." Yu Wanyi was extremely happy. She knew what this meant. It meant that their human race had gained more hope and strength. As a human lord in the elite zone, Yu Qiu was also very happy to learn this information.
