Chapter 1463: Persuasion of Loyal Servants
With his helmet and armor, the cowardly Hou Ye was ready to go on the expedition, but the entire Shiling City was already dead silent.
The city has long been broken.
People, almost dead.
The two old horses left the Hou Mansion with Yan Hou and the housekeeper, facing the iron horses on the street, Yan Hou's face was bloodless.
"The Marquis of Shiling City is here! Call your general to answer!"
The trembling voice shouted the only heroic words in his life, which caused the knights on the street to be stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"That's Yanhou, the master of Shiling City, we are all about to empty his house, and he just came out to fight, it's really funny!" The knight with the crocodile head laughed, and the laughter was weird.
"The cowardly Yanhou really lives up to his reputation, this is knowing that death is imminent, and he wants to fight to the death, but unfortunately, it is useless for you to fight. The fish-eyed horse-mouthed knight laughed and his voice hoarse.
"Come on, come on, I'll fight for a while, let me talk about how brave the marquis is, the general of the bare pole is really funny, haha!" The knight with a frog face raised his broadsword and laughed incessantly.
More and more alien races gathered around, these monsters are like beasts that have been disrupted with their facial features and limbs, and then reorganized at random, many of them have human bodies, which look not only terrifying, but also extremely weird.
"I'm Yanhou, I only fight one of your generals!"
Yan Hou was shocked by the countless alien races around him, his face was bloodless, and he yelled and beat his horse and fled, shouting as he fled: "Tell your general! I am waiting for him in Yanling, and we will fight for life and death in Yanling!"
Yanling is the place where Yanhou set his bones for himself, and it is also the first of the ten ridges.
Yan Hou easily escaped from Shiling City, not that no one was besieging him, but that the alien race did not besiege him at all, and the laughter of the alien race showed the disdain of the alien iron knight for this cowardly marquis.
At the same time that Yan Hou fled from Shiling City, a black-armored alien commander stepped into the city.
It was a tall figure like a god of war, covered in iron armor, even his face was covered by armor, only a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen, and blood-colored flames burned in the cracks of the iron armor, and the aura of destruction permeated the whole city.
The alien commander was extremely tall, and under his seat was an equally tall war horse, the armor of the war horse was even heavier, almost dragging the ground, and the four hooves were trampling, making a muffled sound, and the entire Shiling City shook in the muffled sound.
Urging the horse to go, the god-like figure did not say a word, silently walked through the streets, walked through the alleys, walked from one end of Shiling City, walked to the other, crossed the giant city, and walked to the place where Yanhou made an appointment.
In Shiling City, you can see the first ridge from a distance, and on the mountain, two figures have already abandoned their war horses and are desperately climbing up the mountain.
Yan Hou was not alone, he also had a loyal butler, although the old butler at this time was so tired and sweaty that it became difficult for him to even breathe.
"Master Hou, the old slave can't walk anymore, use my old life to block a strong enemy for Master Hou. ”
Halfway up the mountain, the old butler waved his hand to show that he had run out of oil, he kicked a stone down the mountain, watching the stone roll down the mountain and smash a piece of dust, the old servant laughed miserably: "At least the old slave still has a little weight, even if he can't kill a strong enemy, he can stop him." ”
"It's almost to the top of the mountain, Xu Er, you can't die, if you die, I will be the only one left in the Hou Mansion. ”
Yan Hou's demeanor was very lonely, and his tone was full of loneliness, this Hou Ye was not only cowardly, but he would soon experience the taste of loneliness.
"Old slave...... I really can't walk anymore...... Hou Ye can't! Hou Ye is a golden branch and jade leaf, how can he carry me as a subordinate!"
Carrying the butler's words, he stubbornly continued to climb, step by step, walking slowly, but refusing to stop, as if there was his courage on the mountain, and he needed to find it back in order to face the alien commander.
"Master Hou, give up, we can't win, you see, Shiling City is full of aliens, densely packed like an ant country, such a scene has spread all over the Gu country, we have no chance to turn the tables, not even a single soldier is gone......"
The old butler behind his back chattered desperately and silently, but it was obvious that he was getting more and more frightened, and his steps staggered in climbing the mountain.
"Master Hou, give up, instead of being torn apart by the barbarian commander, we will roll down the mountain together, we can still leave a whole corpse, and we can still retain a trace of backbone, and go to seek death in front of foreign races, which will only attract the ridicule of the other party. ”
The old housekeeper was still talking, he had made up his mind to die, and he wanted to persuade Yanhou to die together, so that he couldn't even leave the whole corpse.
It was not far from the top of the mountain, Yan Hou refused to stop, looked up at the top of the mountain, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "The battlefield is coming, my own battlefield, I want to fight once, even if it is torn apart, I will fight once!"
When all the people around him died, when there was only one old servant left, when all the relatives and friends and subjects lost their vitality, Yan Hou, who had been cowardly all his life, finally burst out with a heroic fighting spirit.
"It's late, Master Hou, the mountain is not a battlefield, but your grave, forgot, this is the first ridge, Yanling, the burial ground you set yourself......"
The murmur from behind was full of sorrow, and Yan Hou was also infected, so he stopped, and the courage he had finally mustered up dissipated like a ball of deflatedness.
"Yanling, the tomb of Yanhou, they are all buried in Shiling, so they sent me......"
Looking around blankly, Yan Hou saw the tombstone on the Snow Ridge of the Second Ridge, which was the grave of the Snow Maiden, and he looked at the Third Ridge, where the Candle General was buried, the Fifth Ridge was buried with the proprietress of the Fox Tower, the seventh Ridge was buried with the beggar leader Jia Da Umbrella, the Ninth Ridge was buried with the Thunder Girl who was sacrificed to the sky, and the Tenth Ridge was only buried with an obese crow.
"There are still a lot of mountains left that have not buried people, Xu Er, where do you want to bury them. With a long sigh, Yan Hou looked down at the mountain road under his feet and continued to walk forward.
"The old slave is just a servant, how can he be buried in Shiling. ”
"You are a loyal servant of the Hou Mansion, a steward for decades, you are qualified to accept this last reward, so I will give you the Eighth Ridge, but unfortunately I don't have the strength to go that far, and I can't bury you in the Eighth Ridge. ”
Hearing the reward of the Marquis, the old housekeeper looked back at the eighth mountain, and then both of them fell silent.
Finally, Yan Hou successfully climbed the first ridge, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he found that the alien commander was already waiting on the opposite side, the tall war horse spewed a burning snort, and the sickle-like blade was raised high by the commander.
"Accept your fate, Master Hou, we can't win, we're doomed......"
The old butler who was planted on the side, said his last words sadly, his eyes were full of despair, he had not yet found the courage, and he ushered in the blade of the alien commander.
At the moment when Shiling City completely fell, it was not only Yan Hou who was desperate, but also the queen ant who ruled the ant country.
In the uninhabited peach orchard, there is a big stone, and under the stone, is the hinterland of the ant country.
No one has ever found the true location of the Ant Nation, and now, the stone has been knocked open, and a huge pangolin covered in red scales is swallowing its long strange mouth at the fat and terrified ant queen.
