Chapter 702: Glory

"Xiao Chen......" Suddenly, an old voice sounded, breaking the depression of the city, Jingchen turned his head to look, only to see Mo Lao walking slowly towards him. I don't know if it's because of Mo Lao's arrival, the huge pressure from the Flying Demon Beast Tide suddenly turned into nothingness, if it weren't for the dark clouds in the sky that showed no sign of receding, otherwise everyone in the city would probably cheer.

Seeing that it was Mo Lao, the Ice Venerable and the guard general also walked over together.

"Master. The guard bowed slightly, although he didn't know the strength of this old man, but the other party just appeared and resolved the huge pressure, and he didn't think it was a simple person.

Mo Lao waved his hand and said slowly, "You don't have to be polite, general, I am one of the guardians of Zeus Academy, people call me Mo Lao, Master Amand Delon has evacuated with the students of Zeus Academy, and I will come here to assist you." "For those students who have fought fiercely all night, this beast tide is not of much use even if they stay here, and evacuation is their best choice.

"Yes, I haven't had time to send someone to thank you for last night's incident, if it weren't for the support of a group of mentors and students from Zeus Academy, I'm afraid I would have lost last night. This is not a polite statement, but a truthful one. Whether it is the instructor of Zeus Academy, or those students who have not experienced much of a big scene, their strength is far from being comparable to those soldiers under the guard, and in the face of absolute strength, any skill is vain.

Looking up and glancing at the beast tide in the distance, Mo Lao also frowned, even if he had seen the beast tide hundreds of times, he had never seen such a scale of flying beast tides. Glancing at the soldiers on the head of the city, although these soldiers are full of fighting spirit, it is not difficult for people with discerning eyes to see the tiredness in their eyes, last night of fierce fighting, even those strong people did not slow down, not to mention these ordinary soldiers, but the mission made them have to stick here, even if it is just to die......

In the distance, as if sensing Mo Lao's powerful aura, the entire beast tide trembled, and the pace of progress also stagnated slightly, and the eyes of many flying demonic beasts showed a trace of fear from the heart, which was the fear of the strong. In fact, to a certain extent, the sensitivity of demonic beasts is far greater than that of humans, so it is easier for them to discover those existences that can threaten their lives, and the aura on Mo Lao's body is exactly what they fear the most.

"Jie Ji ......"

A shrill cry suddenly came from the beast tide, the sound was not only piercing, but the people who heard it also felt dizzy, and many soldiers with slightly inferior strength shook their bodies and almost fell.

"Hmph!" Mo Lao snorted coldly, his voice seemed to have a hint of awakening miracle, the original body shook, and the dizzy soldiers also suddenly woke up. Seeing those soldiers sober up again, many people with slightly better strength and who did not get hit were shocked, and when they looked at the beast tide in the air again, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes, no one thought that since there was still this kind of magic beast with this voice and illusion in this beast tide.

"It's a Phantom Song Demon. Ríos' voice suddenly rang out.

"Phantom Song Demon?" Jing Chen exclaimed, this kind of magical beast is still fresh in his memory, when he was in the Giant Beast Empire, that strange tower made him remember deeply, how could he forget the Phantom Song Demon that made him almost lose his life.

"It's actually the Phantom Song Demon?" Hearing Jing Chen's words, the Ice Venerable repeated with a little surprise, and his gaze swept towards the black and oppressive beast tide.

Mo Lao nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Jingchen's words, and after a while, he spoke, "And it's not an ordinary phantom song demon, it is estimated that it is a phantom song demon." There was a deep fear in the words.

Ice Venerable blurted out in an instant, "How is it possible?" After speaking, he also felt inappropriate, but at this moment he did not apologize, but looked at Mo Lao in shock, as if expecting Mo Lao to tell his reason. The Phantom Song Demon and the Phantom Song Demon in Mo Lao's mouth are not at the same level, not only is the bloodline of the Phantom Song Demon much purer in terms of blood, but also far stronger than the Phantom Song Demon in terms of strength, and ordinary Phantom Song Enchantresses are all middle-level beast kings.

These are not what surprised the Ice Venerable, what surprised him was that every time the Phantom Song Demon Queen was dispatched, there were dozens of them, and there were hundreds or thousands of them, and there would be super magical beasts such as the Phantom Song Princess, the Phantom Song Demon Queen and the Phantom Song Queen, and the horror level was self-evident.

The guard general obviously also knew the power of this Phantom Song Demon Queen, and after listening to Mo Lao's words, his eyes instantly froze, and he groaned slightly, turning his head to the Ice Venerable and said, "Ice Master, you will protect the residents and retreat together in a while." ”

"What?" As if he didn't understand what the guard general said, the Ice Venerable looked at the other party in surprise, seeing that the guard general didn't seem to be joking, the Ice Venerable snorted coldly, "Nonsense, just with these soldiers under your command, how can you stop the beast tide? Can you fill it up by people? How long can you fill it?" At this moment, Ice Venerable changed his original indifference, and shouted with some excitement, he couldn't understand the guard's practice of letting soldiers go to death.

"We are soldiers of the empire, it is our responsibility to defend our homeland, it is also our glory, and it is our mission, and you and these strong people behind you are the foundation of the empire, and they cannot be thrown here casually. The guard general did not change his mind because of the Ice Venerable's rage, and said calmly, but there was a hint of undoubted taste in his voice. Although his words were heard by many of the soldiers at the head of the city, there was no objection from those soldiers, and the soldiers regarded obedience as their duty, and each of them, from the moment he joined the army, was ready to serve the country at any time.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense, these are flying monsters, do you think that just your archers and heavy crossbows can stop their steps?" What the Ice Venerable said is not unfounded, the reason why the flying monsters are more terrifying than the land monsters is that they fly, not only can they destroy the human defense line in a more tricky way, but they can also more easily bypass the human defense line and directly attack the refugees or the residents of the city, so in the Ice Venerable's opinion, the idea of the guard is not realistic, and even a little naïve.

The guard general smiled slightly, and did not reason with the angry Ice Venerable, but slowly lifted his battle robe, and the soft sound of the collision of some crystals ...... reached the ears of several people.

"This is ......" Ice Venerable didn't care about the image of a grandmaster-level powerhouse, and looked at the dozen or so dark crystals in the guard's robe in a daze, those crystals were not surprising at all, but they gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Black Fire Crystals?" Mo Lao said in a deep voice as he stared at those crystals.

"That's right, it's not just me, all the soldiers are covered with black fire crystals, and as long as the residents are evacuated, we won't care about it anymore, so let's go. As he spoke, the guard slowly covered his robe and fastened the belt around his waist.

At this moment, whether it was the Ice Venerable, the peak powerhouse like Mo Lao, or Jing Chen and the other golden-robed people, their eyes were moist. At this moment, how come they still don't understand the thoughts of the guards and all the soldiers defending the city?

Cologne Fortress, outside the General's Palace.

"Madame, it's time for us to hit the road. The maid came to a middle-aged woman with gray hair and said respectfully.

The woman did not move, but looked up in the direction of the city, where the lights were bright, where there was a little cold, where there was ...... There is her man, the defender of the Cologne fortress. She was holding a small wooden box in her arms, which was the ashes of the major general who had been martyred in the battle yesterday, and in the afternoon, the guard handed over this wooden box to her, and before she could be buried, she encountered such a thing.

On the streets of the Cologne Fortress, the flow of people has gradually thinned out, and the residents have withdrawn from the Cologne Fortress in an orderly manner under the organization of a part of the soldiers. At the moment when the last resident walked out of the fortress, all the soldiers left the evacuated crowd and silently returned to the fortress, closing the gate more than ten meters high.

Countless dark shadows shuttled through the fortress of Cologne, they silently walked back and forth between the streets, looking for a suitable position, and the moonlight from the sky, occasionally shining on their military insignia, these were all soldiers of the Holy Spirit Empire. These soldiers skillfully climb rooftops or hide in corners, making them difficult to spot even the most nocturnal beasts from a distance.

At the head of the city, the Ice Venerable did not deny the words of the guard again, he looked up at the sky, the direction of the demonic beast tide, and fell into contemplation, and the flying demonic beasts in the sky seemed to have adapted to Mo Lao's coercion, and slowly pressed it again, but this time they were much more careful and cautious.

After a long time, the Ice Venerable said slowly, "You are going to die. The voice has a strong smell of vicissitudes.

"Ice Master. The guard looked around, "Do you think I want to take them to death? I don't want to! They all have their own parents, some already have their own families, their own children, and I dream of letting them all go out alive and return to their own families alive!"

"But you ......," the Ice Venerable hesitated.

"Ice Master, right now I only have two options. Or, take all the soldiers and flee with the inhabitants of the Cologne Fortress, endure the hunt of these flying monsters, watch the countless residents who believe in the empire believe in us being killed, and watch countless children who have not yet grown up being killed...... Watching them be killed, while I, we, these soldiers of the Empire, gave up resistance, abandoned the mission, gave up the oath to the imperial flag when I enlisted, and could only flee with shame, maybe we could survive, but what we left behind was endless infamy, and finally was pushed to a military tribunal and tried. ”

The Ice Venerable was silent, and that was indeed the case. The Empire will never forgive the soldiers who give up resistance and flee, and it will not be tolerated for these soldiers who value glory more than their lives.

The guard continued with a calm expression, "Of course, I have a second choice, as the defender of Cologne City, I will hold my ground until the last second, maybe some of us will die, maybe all of us will die, but this can at least leave hope for those residents, those people of the empire, so that they have more time to escape to safety." ”

"Ice Master, as a soldier of the Empire, we are never afraid of death, as long as we die well, as long as we die for the Empire, we will never hesitate. I, already a father of three, but yesterday, my youngest son also died in the battle with the Warcraft, really, I am proud of them, they are my greatest pride!" Just as the voice of the guard fell, I don't know who was the first to roar out the military might of the Empire.

"Do your best, and then die!"

"Do your best, and then die!"

“......”

Wave after wave of military might shook the heavens and the earth, echoing in the quiet night sky, and many residents who had just left Cologne City turned their heads and looked in the direction of Cologne City, where there were their relatives and where there was the glory of the empire!
