The cloud ship warship hovered in the air, condescending, looking down on the ants in the city like a god.

This is only a small warship, and there will be no more than 500 people on board, and this city has only a thousand soldiers, plus the men in the city, the number of battles is dozens of times more than the imperial army.

It's a pity that in this world, more people don't mean more power.

"The city lord is here, everyone quickly give way. ”

The men on the side of the street took a step back, and the originally crowded street was vacated by a passage for only one person.

This is a man of about thirty years old, with a strong body, two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, and the whole person looks extremely lean. Of course, this is not enough to make him so trusted by the people of the city.

He is still an immortal cultivator, but his cultivation has only just entered the realm of transforming gods. But in this small city, there is already a god-like existence.

"The army in the city, listen, we are from the Central Plains Imperial Kingdom. The royal family of the imperial kingdom is the bloodline of the ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and the three princes today want to unify the human world and reproduce the ancient glory of the human race. Therefore, you can see the current affairs clearly, and I will give you a quarter of an hour to decide for yourself whether to fight or surrender. ”

Someone shouted on the Yuyun Ship battleship, and this series of words did not stop at all, and at first glance, it was extremely proficient.

In fact, they are used to such scenes.

Small cloud ship warships, deep into the border wilderness, facing such small cities, either surrender or destroy, it will not take much time.

If there is a strong and strong bone that cannot be gnawed, it will be reported to the higher authorities and a more powerful army will be sent to suppress it.

With this tactic, the imperial army swept through everything with rapid mobility like locusts, and captured most of the frontier in a short period of time.

"City Lord, we fought with them. Some of the people clutched their sticks and roared.

"Yes, if you fight, it's a big deal. ”

"What a descendant of Xuanyuan, how can he be more shameless than a robber. This is our city, and it cannot be taken by these robbers. ”

The people had already risen up, but the city lord did not say a word.

In his early years, he had traveled extensively and seen some of the world. also due to a coincidence, he practiced a broken exercise and stepped into the ranks of immortal cultivators. Therefore, he saw more deeply and thought farther than the people who had stayed in this city for generations.

The ship that can fly in the sky is not so easy to build, and the huge hull requires strong manpower, material and financial resources. And if you want to make the battleship float in the air, you must engrave countless magic circles, among which the mystery fan, even if a country is not capable of mastering it.

And how great should it be to be able to build such a warship?

He didn't know anything about the country and didn't even dare to guess. The world is too big, and he is too small. His gaze can only see this square inch now, see this land that he loves so much.

The passionate words of the people sounded in his ears, the calm heart of the city lord began to heat up, and the four big words of "protecting the family and defending the country" gradually filled his mind, and the blood was burning.

"Citizens of the frontier city, follow me to defend your home. ”

The city lord roared impassionedly, and the soldiers in the city were already ready to attack, and the archers were facing the sky one after another, and ten thousand swords were fired in unison. Everyone was expecting it, but when the bow and arrow shot at the Cloud Ship battleship, they were all blocked by the defensive array.

A quarter of an hour had not yet arrived, but by this time the actions of the frontier city had already shown their attitude.

The Cloud Ship Battleship slowly landed in the city, seemingly unaware of the attack. The huge hull of the ship crushed the rows of houses on the street into ruins. The next moment, hundreds of Imperial soldiers rushed down from the battleship.

The army and the people resisted, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and the war presented a one-sided situation, and it could even be regarded as a massacre. The Imperial Army did not kill civilians, but if civilians took up arms to resist, they were killed.

Blood stained the streets, and the sounds of fighting and screaming continued.

By day, these people are farmers, hawkers, hunters. They are a group of ordinary people who work hard to live, but in a short period of time, they have turned into dead souls in order to defend their homes.

I was born to see that the mutton skewer stall owner, who was still trying to greet business during the day, rushed forward with a big knife for slaughtering livestock at this time, but the next moment he was cut off by a saber, and blood sprayed several feet high.

Tens of thousands of people have lost their lives in this war.

"Why, why not surrender?"

Born to look at all this, full of incomprehension. Jiang Guo does not surrender, why would this small city rather die than surrender.

He has lived in Jianmen since he was a child, and he does not understand the so-called feelings of family and country. He only knew that there would be casualties in the war, both for the imperial state that started the war, and for other countries that resisted the invasion of the imperial state, there would be huge losses.

In his eyes, life is like a fallen leaf in autumn, slowly withering.

"Guest officer, you should hide quickly. ”

The innkeeper instructed, with red eyes, and was about to rush forward with a kitchen knife, but was grabbed by Tiansheng's hand.

Faced with many things, it is often inherently powerless. He couldn't stop the war from happening, and he couldn't stop Xuanyuan from unifying the human world, but he would never allow such a tragedy to happen in front of him.

He walked slowly forward, and everywhere he passed, everyone around him was separated by a force.

There were imperial soldiers rushing up, but there was no movement in nature, and the soldier was still a foot away, so he flew out upside down. Then more soldiers rushed at him, and they all flew upside down, not within a foot of him.

"Powerful Immortal Cultivator!"

The captain of the Cloud Ship spotted the anomaly and prevented the other soldiers from continuing to attack, resulting in needless casualties.

He faced Tiansheng and asked fearlessly: "Who are you who dare to stop the army of the imperial kingdom, do you know that the third prince Xuanyuan is lonely......

He moved out of Xuanyuan, but it didn't work.

Tiansheng interrupted his words, glanced coldly at the imperial soldiers around him, and said, "Tell your soldiers to stop, otherwise I will make a move, and Xuanyuan Gu will not be able to save you." ”

"Stop. ”

The captain of the Cloud Boat Battleship raised his hand with one hand, and the other soldiers ordered it to stop, and immediately stopped, before he continued to say to Tiansheng: "I can make them lay down their weapons, or I can retreat with them, but no matter how strong your cultivation is, you can't stop the Imperial Kingdom from occupying this city." Because the human world will be unified, this is the general trend. ”

"Really?"

The city lord covered in blood dragged the big knife in his hand and walked forward step by step: "I don't know who Xuanyuan Gu is, and I don't know what the general trend is, I only know that as the city lord of this place, I can't watch you seize this land." So, I'm going to challenge you. ”

"Yes, what is a bet?"

"If I die, and the city surrenders, you shall not harm the people of the city. If you die, let your soldiers get out of this land, you are not welcome here. ”

The captain of the Cloud Ship readily agreed to the challenge.

And Tiansheng frowned, grabbed the city lord, shook his head at him, and signaled no.

The cultivation of the two of them can be seen at a glance. The city lord is only a first-level cultivator in the Transformation God Realm, and the captain is already in the sixth layer of the Transformation God Realm, and the disparity in strength is too great, and he will definitely be defeated.

But who knew that the city lord smiled at him with a relieved look, bowed down and said, "Then please ask Mr. to be a witness and uphold justice." ”

After he had finished speaking, he turned and gave an order to the people of the city: if he failed in the challenge, he would keep his promise and surrender the city, and not resist.

"Why bother?" said Tiansheng.

"As a city lord, I can't protect my own land, and that's where I belong. "The city lord said.

As he spoke, he fearlessly rushed forward with a knife, and the moment he raised the knife, he already understood his next fate.

With a "bang", the two knives struck each other, and under the absolute strength, the city lord's big knife was cut off in an instant. The next moment, it was his neck that was cut off.

With only two moves, the victory and defeat have been divided, and the whole city is sad.

As an immortal cultivator, his strength is not as good as that of a person. But as a city lord, he sacrificed his life at the last moment and fulfilled his last duty.
