Chapter 146: Adjustments on the Frontline
Chapter 146: Adjustments on the Frontline
Su Chen spoke straightforwardly, without any beating around the bush.
Currently, the two-li-long frontline is indeed guarded by disciples of the Yunyang Sect.
Intervening now would seem like overstepping boundaries.
But this is the frontline, where they are dealing with ferocious demons.
Being considerate of social etiquette and human wisdom is fine, but making mistakes on the frontline due to such concerns could cost lives.
Moreover, the Yunyang Sect's guarding disciples will be leaving tomorrow.
Their mindset is mostly just to ensure that no major issues arise today.
How to handle the situation afterward is for the Falcon Sect to figure out.
Now, as they go to clear the obstacles, the Yunyang Sect's guarding disciples have already adopted an indifferent attitude.
Hearing Su Chen's insistence, Wang Yao and Xu Rourou still frowned tightly.
The two turned their heads and looked at Captain Sheng Dayuan beside them.
Seeing Sheng Dayuan's helpless smile towards them, they nodded.
The two then followed Su Chen out of the tent, joining him in addressing the obstacles on this section of the frontline.
The Yunyang Sect has always been somewhat dismissive of traps and obstacles on the frontline.
Especially in the past two years, as the Yunyang Sect continuously pushed the frontline forward.
Setting up traps and obstacles often hindered the advancement of the frontline.
This dismissive attitude seemed to have been passed down, and many in the Yunyang Sect shared this mindset.
However, in reality, well-placed fortifications provide significant support during defense.
The strength of minor demons can be easily handled by any eighth-rank warrior.
With so many people on the frontline, who would fear minor demons? But minor demons can launch surprise attacks and won't wait for you to strike.
Furthermore, their raids often occur at night, and it's not just a couple of them attacking.
If the traps and obstacles are not properly set up, it might lead to seven or eight minor demons raiding, with golden demons and major demons mixed in.
They used to dismiss these concerns, but when faced with these dangers, they realize the trouble within.
Under Su Chen's arrangements, most of the obstacles need to be reconfigured.
They are presented in a gradient blocking pattern.
With all the obstacles and traps grouped together, once the demons leap over these obstacles and traps, the path behind becomes unobstructed.
There should be a section of obstacles, followed by a normal section, and then another section of obstacles.
If the demons want to launch a rapid assault, they will be hindered by the traps and obstacles.
To make the demons suffer, they shouldn't be able to come and go as they please on the frontline.
Wang Yao and Xu Rourou looked at these obstacles, realizing it might take some time to finish setting them up.
After moving just two or three, the two felt increasingly annoyed.
When looking down on someone, any arrangement they make will be met with complaints.
Like now, Su Chen's actions to block demon assaults are very effective.
But in Wang Yao and Xu Yao's eyes, Su Chen is just making trouble to feel important.
What use are these wooden obstacles? Su Chen isn't a disciple of the Falcon Sect, and his actions make them believe he's trying to show off.
Most likely, he's trying to use this as an excuse to claim a larger share of the reward.
Currently, the Yunyang Sect, in hiring disciples from other sects to guard the frontline, will naturally have to provide compensation.
Just like last year, when Su Chen assisted Wu Yi's senior brother.
While helping out, Wu Yi's senior brother recorded Su Chen's efforts and provided him with a reward.
After setting up two more, Wang Yao and Xu Rourou felt even more annoyed.
They had only been working for less than a quarter of an hour.
The two put down their work and wanted to find Su Chen to argue.
Su Chen, having sent the two off to work, was nowhere to be seen.
They had barely taken a few steps east when they held back their words.
Su Chen was now rearranging the obstacles, even repairing some damaged areas.
Without needing to be told, Su Chen was not slacking off; instead, he was working harder and more efficiently than them.
Wang Yao and Xu Rourou witnessed this, their mouths twitching uncontrollably.
The criticisms they had prepared were now useless.
In their hearts, they felt even less aligned with Su Chen, believing he lacked the ability and skill, only knowing how to fiddle with these things.
Even when handling matters, he was inefficient.
After Su Chen finished dealing with a large portion of the obstacles and traps, he turned back to look and was surprised to find that Wang Yao and Xu Rourou had only managed to complete half of their task.
As he approached to help, Su Chen assumed they were less proficient, so he began to instruct them.
The two were reluctant to listen to Su Chen's words.
After about one and a half hours, the obstacles were re-arranged.
This section of the defense line was only two li long, relatively short, so the three didn't need much time.
After resetting the obstacles and traps, the trio returned to their defensive positions.
The defensive terrain was slightly elevated, and from there, they could see the layout of the obstacles and traps below.
"Hmph! The experts from Yunyang Sect had it set up nicely, but now with our adjustments, it might even have adverse effects."
Wang Yao couldn't understand the purpose of this arrangement, but he felt that Su Chen's plan was wrong.
Xu Rourou, standing nearby, felt the same. Hearing Wang Yao's words, she also spoke up in judgment.
"Perhaps later, the senior brothers from Yunyang Sect will ask us to restore these obstacles and traps to their original state.
Their arrangements might have some profound intricacies that we don't understand.
What we're doing now is just a waste of time."
Hearing this, Su Chen calmly looked at them.
"If the disciples of Yunyang Sect are so powerful, why is their frontline in such a state?
You can talk about the intricacies of their previous arrangements.
Are they more effective in hindering movement, or is clustering them together more wasteful?"
If they had doubts about themselves, then they should debate.
But after hearing Su Chen's words, Wang Yao and Xu Rourou had no rebuttal.
They pursed their lips, lowered their heads, and returned to the tent.
At this moment, the sky had already darkened.
Given the time of day, it was considered quite late.
Su Chen had already inspected this entire stretch of the road.
With the Demon Hunter's Destiny activated, no traces of demons could escape his eyes.
Tonight should be relatively calm, but in the distance, Su Chen had already spotted the marks left by the Golden Demon.
The calm wouldn't last for long.
In recent times, this two-li-long defense line couldn't escape the demons' assaults.
Back in the tent, Wang Yao and Xu Rourou were talking about Su Chen's arrangement to their fellow sect members.
Wang Yao even imitated Su Chen's words, "If the disciples of Yunyang Sect are so powerful, why is their frontline in such a state?"
As he imitated, he made funny faces, looking quite comical.
The others couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
"Alright, alright, don't go too far."
Sheng Dayuan, standing nearby, was also amused, but as the team leader, he spoke up to stop them.
Seeing that Sheng Dayuan was laughing too, Wang Yao performed even more enthusiastically.
