Chapter 68: Confused
"Boom!"
The shattered wall of ice exploded violently after two elemental blasting enchantment arrows pierced the wall, and in an instant, the ice mist filled the air. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ye Mo sensed it with his qi sense, then raised his bow and arrow, and made up an arrow on the head of each enemy who did not die from the explosion.
"Hopefully this is the last batch."
Ye Mo was still a little uneasy, and searched with his qi sense again, and after finding that there was indeed no living mouth, he moved towards the place where the large army had left while adjusting the disordered breathing.
In fact, this place is already very close to Ye Mo's destination. After a five-minute journey, Ye Mo found the small courtyard.
Pushing the door in, I saw women and children sitting in the small courtyard, maybe because someone had told them, everyone was quiet. The small courtyard was filled with the sad atmosphere of the city's ruin, but it was mixed with a little joy of being born after death.
Liang Tianwei heard the sound of pushing the door, came out and saw that it was Ye Mo who breathed a sigh of relief, and gestured to Ye Mo to come to the house.
Ye Mo entered the inner room and saw that Ye Yu was healing He Ping's injuries, and the blood-stained armor had been removed and hung on the wall for a year.
Ye Mo stepped forward to take a look, and then found a corner and began to meditate.
Just now, I consumed a lot of mental and physical strength in order to solve the problem quickly, and I must recover as soon as possible in order to cope with the next situation.
Half an hour passed, Ye Mo opened his eyes and saw that He Ping had already sat up, the wounds on his body had healed, and the whole person was still a little weak, but he was a lot more energetic.
Ye Mo thought about it, condensed a large ball of water, and motioned to He Ping to scrub it, while Ye Yu went outside to take a breath.
He Ping did a simple cleaning, cleaned up the coagulated blood on his body, face and hair, and then tied up his long hair. During this period, Ye Mo also helped He Ping clean his armor, and when he saw that there were still gaps in the staggered sword marks on the armor, Ye Mo sighed in his heart: In this war, the most responsible, the most stressed, and the most anxious are the city lords of the border cities and the commander of the defense army.
First, they had to face the enemy's strongest forces outside of the Holy Rank, high-level magicians and warriors. Second, as the master and guardian of the border city, once the border city is occupied by the enemy, the emperor will not look at them as outnumbered and not hold them accountable. Third, the border city defense was broken this time, and the enemy fought in the streets after entering the city, and a large number of border city people died in the war, and the young and strong men were just gone, and the old and weak women and children were also killed and injured countless times.
"Xiaoyu, come in." Ye Mo saw that He Ping had already cleaned up, so he opened the door and greeted his sister.
Ye Yu entered the house and said, "The internal injuries on the legion commander's body are not serious, but more of an external sword wound, which have basically healed now. Weakness is also only caused by excessive blood loss, and it is not a big deal. ”
Ye Mo nodded and asked the legion commander, "My lord, what is the situation in the city now, why are there so many enemy troops in the area we occupy?" ”
"You're Ye Mo, right?" He Ping didn't answer Ye Mo's question, but asked such a question.
Ye Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, the one who treated you is my sister Ye Yu, and the other one is Liang Tianwei." We are all third-year students at the Ziyang Demon Martial Academy. ”
"Master Si You brought out some good students. If it weren't for you this time, I would have given this old bone to those miscellaneous hands. But... I don't know what happened to the lord of the castle. He Ping sighed and continued: "I think you should also know that the strength of the enemy is far superior to ours, especially in terms of high-level martial artists and magicians. The Lord and I dragged them and fought and retreated, until we retreated to the south of the City Lord's Mansion, and then..."
"Could it be the explosion? Ye Yu interjected.
He Ping nodded. "Looking at the light pillar of the explosion, I know that it must have been caused by a madman from the Western Continent, but the explosion was too powerful, even if it was me, an eighth-level swordsman, who launched a secret method to self-detonate, the power was far less. I'm afraid that such a strong person is from the Holy Rank, and after thinking about it, I guess it's the handiwork of Lord Siyou. ”
He Ping paused for a moment and continued: "My opponent, those two high-ranking warriors, was implicated. When the explosion occurred, I fought and retreated, just near the City Lord's Mansion. The two of them were seriously injured on the spot, and I tried my best to defend myself, but I only suffered a few internal injuries. But the oil is also running out, and the lamp is dry. As for the Castle Lord, we were separated after the explosion. ”
Ye Mo fell into deep thought, and sorted out what happened in his heart.
"That means you don't know what's going on in the city?" Liang Tianwei asked.
"That's right." He Ping nodded.
"Is there an enemy besieging the city outside the eastern walls?" Ye Mo raised such a question.
"Yes, although most of the enemies have entered the border city from the north and west walls, there are still a small number of enemies who have formed an encirclement outside the southeast city wall, intending to annihilate us all here." He Ping's voice was a little low.
"When will reinforcements arrive?" Ye Mo finally asked this question, and several people looked at He Ping with some hope.
Everyone knows that with the defense force in the city, it will not be able to stop the army of the Western Continent. There was a slight possibility before the walls were breached, but this could have disappeared with the Earth Dragon's turnover. The fall of the border city was only a matter of time. And the reinforcements of the Eastern Continent Empire are the most critical point to change the situation.
He Ping sighed and said, "I don't know this either. It stands to reason that after several other border fortresses received the news of the call for help, and confirmed that they had the mark of me or the city lord, they should complete the rectification and set off for rescue within half a day. But the number of people they could come was very limited, because it was not known whether the enemy would only attack the border towns, and whether they had divided their forces to attack other places. I don't know if the enemy has infiltrated the troops to surround the point and send reinforcements. So... Reinforcements from several other fortresses could not quite count on the ground. In addition, His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered the dispatch of troops to rescue, but this carriage and horses came and went, and I didn't know when it would come. ”
Ye Mo's heart gradually sank with He Ping's words. The only remaining hope in my heart was also extinguished.
"That means there's probably no reinforcements?" Ye Yu muttered.
"It's the worst-case scenario." He Ping nodded heavily.
Ye Mo suddenly felt a little dazed. Although he knows that the strength of his few people is small and powerless in the war, it should still be possible to protect himself and live. But in the absence of reinforcements and heavy troops entering the city, the end of several people can be imagined.
Are all the efforts you have made before going to waste?
Besides, it's just my own death, what about Ye Yu? Could it be that the decision he made in the imperial capital was really wrong? Shouldn't we really come to the border town?
