Chapter 41: Escape

Moon City is located on the edge of the Prancing Horse Plain, a city surrounded by plains, and around the city walls, a moat is artificially dug five feet wide. This is a castle controlled by the Chamber of Commerce, which is not attached to any country, they never participate in any fighting, they only do business. Nor did any country want to capture Moon City, because this method would not be completely enforced, and the whole world relied on the Chamber of Commerce for trade, and all the princes and nobles relied on them to earn great wealth. The 100,000 mercenaries in the city are also a force to be reckoned with. And the Chamber of Commerce here only obeys their city lord, the Moon City Lord, a merchant who is rich and rivals the country. Some people even said that the prosperity of Moon City was even better than that of Apocalypse City, the imperial capital of the Great Liang Kingdom.

Ji Ya seemed to forget all her tiredness and walked quickly towards Moon City, Xiao Xue followed behind. A dozen guards stood on either side of the wide drawbridge, their pitch-black battle armor shining brightly in the morning sun, and cold spears clenched in the palms of their hands.

Just as Jiya was about to walk over, several horses galloped from behind, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves pierced the silence of the early morning, and before the horses approached, the sound had pierced through the air and pierced people's ears. "Pull up the drawbridge, pull up the drawbridge! The refugees of Riverrun are running away. ”

Ji Ya trembled suddenly, the refugees in Russell City, Feng Chenyang had already built a place to stay, although it was not exquisite, but it made people finally have a place to stand, how could they escape.

Her heart tightened as she looked at the cavalry warriors. The four horsemen had already stepped onto the drawbridge and left the dust, and the guards quickly entered the castle, and the drawbridge was slowly pulled up.

Soon, there was a terrible cry behind him, and Ji Ya turned to look, and in the distance, the black crowd was running desperately, and there was no end in sight. Slowly getting closer, in addition to the refugees, there are many brightly dressed nobles, and even heavily armed warriors, the owners and men of the Xiangxiang Teahouse, all kinds of people.

Giya saw the horror in people's eyes, and she flashed to the side, not knowing what she could do. She was trying to find a familiar figure, but she never found it, there were too many people. Ji Ya cried anxiously, Feng Chenyang must have lied to her, he must have done something very dangerous.

She grabbed the guy at the Tea House, she wanted to know what was going on in Riverrun. The man's face was full of horror, and he didn't seem to have come out of it. "Those things rushed in, and the fighters were fighting to the death, a lot of people died, and there were corpses everywhere. After saying that, he no longer ignored Ji Ya's pleading, and struggled to get rid of Ji Ya's hand, like a headless fly, running aimlessly with the crowd.

Giya stood on the side of the road, looking at the frightened crowd, some with their sleeves hanging empty, blood sliding down the piping of their cuffs. The wounded gradually increased, and the huge wound made Jiya unbearable to look at directly, and the howl of pain floated around.

Ji Ya finally understood that there were wars everywhere, and even Riverrun City had become a battlefield, so Moon City would become the only hope for the people.

Ji Ya looked in the direction of Riverrun City, remembering the words of the wind and dust, and his tears slipped down in large drops. There must be no Andrew in Moon City, what is in this Moon City is just hope, hope to live.

Xiaoxue whined, facing the thin back of the little girl, her robe was blown by the wind, and her slender figure was dragged to the ground, both lonely and desolate.

Andrew was standing at the gates of Moon City, the drawbridge had been pulled up. The mercenary soldiers in the city tower looked at the people under the city and said: "There are a large number of refugees at the east gate, and the city can no longer accommodate more people. ”

The crowd boiled, and discontent spread through the crowd. "Where did so many refugees come from? I pulled a cart full of salt today, and I want to exchange some food to go back to save my life. Besides, they are at the east gate, why are you closing the west gate?"

"Riverrun is under attack, there is a war, the refugees from there have gone mad, they are coming to Simon. Today, the city lord has an order, and the city is closed for a day, and the city lord is discussing with the presidents of the major chambers of commerce. If you are in a hurry, you can take a hanging basket into the city. With that, the warrior pulled down a bamboo basket with a rope.

After hearing this, Andrew's heart suddenly tightened, who will Riverrun fight with? He thought for a while, jumped forward, and disappeared into thin air. People looked up at the white trail in the air, and their faces were surprised.

At the east gate of Moon City, the grieving crowd roared angrily and smashed the vermilion gate with everything they could use around them. The warriors on the city wall, with their bows and arrows pointed at the angry crowd, the dark arrows glowing with a faint cold light. The crowd under the city did not pay attention, they were at the distance of the feather arrows, and the desperate look hung on their faces, as if only by entering the city could they have a chance to live.

Andrew walked through the crowd, the faces of the people were full of despair, and more crowds were pouring in, all the gates were full, and the gates were not opened after all.

The sun is already setting in the west, and it is sinking little by little. As if frightened, the crowd struggled to stand up and rushed to the city gate, pushing and shoving, some people fell into the moat and could not get up again, and more people were rushing to the city gate.

Andrew tried to find something, he had understood everything from people's mouths, and he understood why people were afraid of the dark, because in the darkness, there was something that should not have appeared, a lot of charm!

He leapt to his feet and fixed himself in the air, and the warriors on the walls pointed their arrows at him. He gestured to the crowd below. "You should know what's going on!" he paused, the expression on his face turning sad. "It won't be long before those things kill them all in an instant, and then, stepping on their corpses, pouring into Moon City, for those things, your gates are not strong enough. ”

The crowd fell silent, the warriors lowered their heads, their bows and arrows had been lowered, and one of the warriors said to Andrew: "Who was not born by his parents, who has no brothers and sisters, but there is no order to come down." We really can't open the gates."

The sun cast its last rays and sank, the darkness was eroding the earth, and suddenly, a terrible howl in the distance pierced the silence of the air, and reached people's ears, it must be someone who was fighting desperately, only a weapon could make such a deep roar, like the roar of a dragon in the sky.

Andrew looked in the direction of Riverrun and continued: "There are people like you, who are fighting desperately for them to live, they are dying in despair, and my friends are there, they could have escaped. ”

In the distance, a voice came. "The city lord has an order, open the city gate! The city lord has an order, open the city gate!" The heavy city gate finally opened.
