Chapter 196: The Eve of War

Daylight found Su Tiantian in the school field.

The little girl held a small wooden bow, her body was straight, she drew the bow, took the arrow, took aim, and loosened the string in one go, hitting the bull's-eye.

"Every day, I don't know you anymore. Daylight smiled, the speed of the little girl's transformation was beyond imagination, from the crybaby in Impermanence Town, to the tenacity shown on the road, and then to the current bow girl, as if she had grown up all at once.

"Brother, you're back. Su Tiantian was very happy, but immediately controlled his emotions.

"Are you still leaving?" asked Tian Tian in a whisper.

There was a sadness in Bai Day's heart, and he had asked his father this question before.

"I'll come back to pick you up, it's not peaceful here, let's leave. ”

"Where are you going to pick me up?" Su Tiantian was looking forward to it from the bottom of his heart, but this expectation was immediately ruthlessly extinguished.

"Get out of here, and find you a suitable place, a good home for you. "Daylight wanted to touch Tiantian's head, but she avoided it.

Dodge every day. "I'm not leaving, this is my home, the Lord of Tengyang City has taught me a lot of skills, reading and writing, as well as bows and arrows. ”

Bai Sun said: "There is a war going on here, and even a hundred more bows will not change the outcome." ”

"So what? This is my home, and I have a responsibility to guard it. ”

"This is not your home, this is dangerous, and I brought you out of Impermanence not to kill you here. ”

"If you take me out, do you have the right to decide my future? Come with you, what you will find me will not be my home, since you left me this time, shouldn't it be easy to lose me a second time? I will not leave Anseong. ”

Daylight began to be impatient, and he was not good at dealing with children. "Now is not the time to be willful, you were the one who stayed here on your own initiative. ”

"You really don't understand anything, I'm going to keep training. "Every day he raised his bow and took aim with a feather arrow, and his immature little hand was strangled by the bowstring with several bloody cuts.

Daylight let out a sigh. "Every day, you're not fit for this. ”

"The lord of the city said that I was very talented. Su Tian Songxian shot an arrow, and the arrow grazed the target.

The arrow missed.

When Su Tiantian turned around, the day was no longer here.

......

The border city, which was supposed to be gradually waking up, suddenly boiled over.

The soldiers went from house to house to tell the news of the army's opposition, and it spread ten, ten, ten, hundred, everyone's face was engraved with fear, women and children hugged each other, and the man in charge of the house twisted his eyebrows into a twist.

The war was far away from these civilians, and even if One-Eye had to lead them to the front line, it was far from real.

Death is so close that there is only less and less time between it.

Women, children and children were placed in relatively safe places, men took out their long-sealed weapons, and the main street, which had been bustling with people, was deserted.

Within two days, deep trenches were dug in front of the four gates of Anseong, filled with sharpened wooden sticks, which served as a buffer zone to stop the enemy.

All ranged weapons that deal lethal damage are brought to the walls.

On the third day, Tianji's black-armored army really came, as the scout said.

In the amber sunset, countless horses' hooves came to the earth, and the earth could be felt trembling in the city.

The black-armored cavalry of the Tianji Empire stopped five miles away.

Behind there was also an infantry column advancing in a place where the setting sun could not shine, and for every minute the army moved, the sun receded a minute, like a cloud of darkness driving away the last sunlight in the world, not like an army of 10,000 men, but like a hundred thousand.

Although the people of Anseong admired the military, the city itself was not built for war, there was no moat, only the city walls and newly dug trenches were protected, and the plains of the Pingchuan River could not stop the army of Cheonji.

Taking advantage of the thin night, the Tianji army moved forward for another two miles, and on the city wall, you can see the neat array of slaughtering squares, and the black tiger soaring cloud banner is gargling.

The Blackarmor Army began to set up camp and light torches, and the fiery red light spread all the way to the distant horizon, dimming the stars in the night sky.

According to the normal process, the army will overwhelm the city, will give Anseong a night's respite, the next day will be sent to persuade the surrender, if the negotiations fail, then the flames of war will spread to every corner of Anseong.

......

At night, standing on the ancient city wall of Anseong during the day, looking at the firelight in the distance, he has always been very conflicted, he told himself in his heart that Su Tian Tian is here, and the water boat is also here, and he must also be here.

But that doesn't justify staying, he has more important things to do.

The responsibility given by his father when he was dying, go to the Heavenly Sword Gate, find those mysterious towers, and take revenge.

And the ethereal Penglai, for a dream, that voice predicted the death of his father, and at the same time the faint hope of resurrecting his father.

If you want to save your father, come to me, the voice in the dream said.

Daylight can't imagine that anything can save a dead person who can't even find a corpse, and it's sad to think of it.

It's not his war, it's not always been, he should have left three days ago.

But in the end, he stayed.

Unintentionally, Bai Tian saw something through the bright moonlight, and he could no longer move his feet, staring straight at the Tianji army in the distance.

The soldiers' faces were pale and bloodless, their feet were stuck in the ground like tree roots, and their bodies were motionless.

It's a blood golem.

Bai Tian clenched his fists, his nails sank into the flesh, he heard that the immortal cultivators had joined the Tianji army, and now he knew that behind the Tianji Empire was the Blood God Temple, so he could calm down the war so quickly and force Wanchen back to Cangzhou, and those blood puppets were indispensable, so they could cross the Northern Wilderness and enter the land of the Sword Clan.

Leaving the city walls during the day, find the lord of the castle among the crowds who had set up fortifications overnight.

The lord of the city was directing the placement of the fortifications, and the people of the city were mobilized to deal with the disaster, using carts to push the walls full of falling rocks and fallen logs, just to prevent the worst from happening.

Seeing Bai Day, the Tengyang City Lord said, "I thought you had left a long time ago. ”

Daylight did not answer.

Tengyang City Lord continued: "Don't worry, this is just a normal precaution, tomorrow the messenger comes, I will consider it and accept the conditions." ”

"We can't surrender!" said Daylight.

He saw the Anseong City Lord's surprised gaze.

"Those soldiers are puppets of the Blood Temple, they won't spare a single living mouth, and they are likely to come for the Celestial Bow. "Daylight remembered the disaster of the Sword Clan, and it was for a weapon.

The Tengyang City Lord looked resentful. "I know that most of Wanchen's rout is due to them, the Wujia Iron Army is the elite cavalry of the Tianji Empire, if they come, the White Tiger Battalion is not far away, Wanchen is probably not good. ”

The city lord of Ancheng had an indescribable hatred for the immortal cultivators of the Nantian Continent, and he originally planned to withdraw from the war, but he was involved in the very center of the war, and the blood temple of the Tianji army and the Qianhua Dao people were pressed together, and it was already a desperate situation for him.

The workers who were arranging the fortifications looked curiously and saw the lord leaning to the side in frustration.

Although Daylight had not participated in the war, he could see the situation a little clearly. "Since the main army has not come, everything is not easy to say, Huarong City has not been breached, they will send troops to Ancheng, either there is absolute confidence, or there are other plans, Ancheng and Huarong City are not far apart, we may be able to ask for help. ”

"I left the Lord of All Ages at his most critical moment, and now I am truly alone. ”

"If you can't help it, then Anseong will really be razed to the ground, your ambitions, your ambitions, all gone. Bai Tian deliberately lowered his voice, and he said this to the city lord alone.

The words of daylight rekindled the dark eyes of the Anseong Castle Lord.
