Chapter 189: The Last Hope
What's most desperate, that's, of course, is seeing the only hope dashed before the sight.
So for Davout, who wants to escape, that's what the goblins are doing today.
Using their innate natural abilities, the goblins were naturally much faster than Davout and the others riding wildebeests.
Therefore, as early as three hours ago, the goblins had already arrived in Xiping City first. Then these little goblins sat on the battlements of the east gate of Xiping City, and waited patiently for Davout and his army.
Then, wait for the moment when Davout and the remnants of his defeated army will appear in view. Among them, the smartest and most talented little goblin, Fang also stood up and slowly raised one of his hands.
"No, no!"
Davout, who was riding on a horned horse, saw this scene from afar, and a strong sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart. He had already guessed what the dwarf, earthy creatures were going to do, and his voice was desperate and frightened.
No matter how much you scream or scold, it is obvious that you can't stop the goblins from what they will do next. So, I saw a large cloud of earth gushing out of the ground, and the gate of the city that had been wide open was blocked at this time.
"No, no!!"
Davout opened his mouth and coughed up a mouthful of blood. At this moment, his hope was completely cut off. The current situation is really for Davout and the remnants of his defeated army, there is really a strong enemy in front of him and a pursuer behind him.
"What should we do, king, what shall we do now?"
The surrounding guards were all panicked at this moment. Those dwarf, earth-yellow elves are still on the walls of Xiping City. These little things, although they seem harmless to humans and animals, but the orcs who have tasted them well know very well what kind of power these little things contain in their bodies.
This made them desperate and frightened one by one. They had no idea where their path lay down, so they subconsciously pinned their hopes on Davout. Even though they knew that the chances of surviving in the future were very slim, they still hoped that Davout could lead them out of a way to survive.
He opened his mouth to speak. However, before he could say what he wanted to say, his eyes turned white, and the whole person fell off the horse with a snap.
But at this time, Dawu's mental and physical strength has reached the limit. So after suffering this heavy blow, the whole person fainted directly.
So there was a lot of scrambling on the field. One by one, the guards cried and lifted Davout up from the ground, but they couldn't wake up Davout, who had passed out. It wasn't until a familiar shout came from the side that the guards hurriedly stood up from the ground.
"Great Shaman, you're alright. Great, you can show it quickly, the king ......."
"Alright, shut up for me. The king is only fainting now, and you don't need to cry here. The sky hasn't fallen yet!"
Amugulang, who had broken his left arm, shouted angrily, and his face was pale as he looked at Dawu who had passed out. Gritting his teeth, Fang also ordered to the left and right: "Retreat, retreat, and then we will find another place to rest."
Let's take this opportunity to gather as many troops as possible. Before the last minute, everything was still turning around. ”
Saying this, it can be regarded as giving these panicked guards a little hope, a goal. Therefore, the guards hurriedly agreed, and the remnants of the defeated army dragged their tired bodies and retreated back for another ten miles.
Then they hurriedly set up camp, and the physically and mentally exhausted orcs did not even erect the necessary camp walls. He just spread a few blankets on the ground, set up some tents, and lay down in all directions.
But at this time, Amu Gulang, who is one of the leaders, didn't ask too much. It is already a good thing that these people in front of them can not collapse, and it is simply unrealistic to mention others.
Therefore, after drinking enough water and eating some unchewable dry food, Amugulang Fang dragged his tired body into the tent prepared for Davout. By this time, Davout had woken up from a coma.
But he was depressed and his eyes were dull. I don't eat or drink, and the whole person is like losing my soul.
So knowing that Amu Gulang had walked into his tent, Dawu, who was downcast, was also indifferent at this time. And Dawu was like this, Amu Gulang, who had a broken arm and his face was still pale, didn't say a word at this time.
In this way, the two sides were silent for nearly twenty minutes. Davout shook his head, looked up and turned his gaze to Amu Gulang to the side, which broke the unbearable silence in front of him.
"Elder, do you say, am I a stupid idiot? If I hadn't had to do some crusade, our tribe and the entire kingdom wouldn't have ended up like this.
Oh, Hasan is dead, Chagan is dead, even the cunning Agoura is dead. All dead, all dead. Now, it's finally my turn. ”
“......”
Amu Guro didn't speak. He didn't say a word about Davout's self-defeating words. But Davout didn't need him to say anything, so he went on to say to himself, "It's all because of my stupidity." If it weren't for that, and without angering their gods, we and these humans might still be at peace. Can ...... now It's over, it's all over......"
As he spoke, Davout burst into tears. His whole spirit completely collapsed at this time, so his emotions were uncontrollable at all, and the same was true for his tears. couldn't stop flowing on his face, and he looked very pitiful.
But Amu Gulang looked at Dawu who was crying, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest. As the great shaman of the tribe, he just watched silently. Half an hour passed like this, Davout's tears dried up, and his emotions were slightly controlled.
Amugulo took a deep breath before he spoke, "There is still hope, my king. You are our hope, and as long as you can escape, even if it is just you, there is hope for the kingdom and the tribe. ”
“......”
Looking at Amu Gulang, who was pale, it became Davout who was silent at this time. So Amu Gulang also got up from his seat, and then he put his hand on Davout's shoulder, and Fang said with all his might: "Show your courage, there are still millions of people in the kingdom." Even our tribe has a population of hundreds of thousands.
This is our greatest reliance, and it is also the hope that we will never break. But kingdoms and tribes can't be without leaders, you know, no matter what, you have to get out of here alive, you have to!"
