Chapter 13: The Great War is Imminent
After going up to the city gate, the existence of the other party immediately attracted the attention of the other party.
Unlike him climbing the rope to come up, he appeared directly on the city wall, which shows that he has a spell cultivation, as long as the other party is not stupid, he will definitely be able to understand who is the thigh.
"Excuse me, your Excellency, which county is the wizard?" the young man said with a rush, but he only glanced at the other party, and then stopped talking to the other party.
"Dogs look down on people," the turtle muttered quietly.
"Youโ" The gate guard was about to draw his sword, but the young man raised his hand and shouted back, and the former bowed with his fists in return.
"Huh, can you still talk?" the young man looked at Xiang Gui Ye in surprise.
"Ahem, don't be surprised, I'm used to living in the mountains," Meng Yun smiled awkwardly and said, you can understand a few simple words, but understanding doesn't mean that you are willing to deal with you, if you expect the turtle master to say a few nice words, first of all, you have to be polite to it first, otherwise it is more difficult to point at it and compliment you with a smile, which is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
"Oh, you shouldn't have gone into the city," the young man turned to look at him again.
This sentence is equivalent to directly telling him that the city can no longer be saved, and at the same time confirming his previous guess.
"We can help you defend the city," Meng Yun said to the other party.
The other side showed a certain amount of goodwill, but they did not think that they had the ability to change the tide of the battle.
The young man nodded when he heard this, "What do you call Brother Ren?"
"Meng Yun, what about you?" Meng Yun asked again after speaking.
"Jingmi," the other replied.
At this time, a number of people came to report to the young men, mostly about the preparations for the city's defense.
The noise in the city was very loud, and Meng Yun walked around the door building to the back wall, observing everything around him in the process.
On the city wall, the defensive equipment is very rudimentary, and soldiers come and go, carrying rolling stones and falling trees.
Many of them had no armor, few bows and arrows, their clothes were ragged, their faces were bruised and purple from the cold, and they were shivering, but they were gritting their teeth and holding on.
No matter how you look at it, this part of the population does not look like soldiers.
At the same time, the horn was blown three times in a row, and the city was completely chaotic, and the crowd was desperately running in the direction of the back mountain.
Just as he was looking down at the city, a young man walked over, "Dare to ask Brother Yun, what is the relationship with Wizard Qi?"
"Old man," he said.
"Alas, Brother Ren, let's mourn," Jingmi said with a sigh.
Prior to this, he and the Turtle Master had already known that Wizard Qi had suffered misfortune, but they still felt a little uncomfortable when it came out of other people's mouths.
Meng Yun hesitated for a moment before speaking, "How did Wizard Qi die?"
"The Wizard was severely injured by the barbarian wizard and died of serious injuries," Jing Jian said with some reluctance.
"Nonsense, Old Man Qi is a twin bloodline of Mushui, even if he is traumatized, he can heal himself, how can he be hit hard?"
He and Jing Jian turned around at the same time, both with puzzled expressions on their faces.
He had heard the turtle master say that the wizard was of the wood bloodline, but he didn't know that there was also the water bloodline, and Jing Jian was puzzled, there was no doubt that this guy had never heard of the dual-blooded wizard.
"The five great wizards of the barbarian clan have teamed up to trap him," Kami said.
Meng Yun frowned, it was obviously easy to predict a victory or defeat with one enemy or five defeats, "When will it be?"
He doesn't care what the bloodline of the wizard is, what he really cares about is who is the murderer, but this question is already obvious, and the answer is the barbarian wizard.
"Two days ago," Kami looked at him again.
The man in the black cloak appeared on the night of two days ago, at least the time was right, and the other party should not be lying.
The wizard died to protect the city, to be precise, to protect the people in the city, but if a person dies, he is dead, and it is impossible to resurrect the dead.
"Is the city going to be undefended?" Meng Yun said after a moment of silence.
"How can you see that?" Jing Jian turned to look away, thinking that he had done a good job of concealment.
"If it weren't for that, you wouldn't look at these people with that kind of pity," Meng Yun raised his hand and leaned against the city wall, looking at the bustling crowd in the city, "I guess the Wizard Qi is the highest cultivator of you, and the reason why the enemy is eager to attack is because he learned of his death." โ
"You, ......" Jing Jian pointed at him in shock, and didn't say anything for a long time.
"What's wrong with you? It's all guessed by the bastard boy?" said the turtle master with disdain.
At this moment, five people came from the direction of the city gate tower, these people were wearing wizard robes, walked quickly, bowed down and said in unison, "See Childe!"
Jing Jian quickly calmed down and turned around and said, "All wizards are exempt, please do your part." โ
"Yes," the five saluted and leaved.
Human wizards will wear robes, and the robes are also regulated, and the back of the robe is embroidered with the totem of the country, for example, the totem of the Northern Xuanguo is an abstract Xuanwu, and the wizards who are above the witch level can also embroider on the cuffs, representing the five elements of their blood, and the gold, wood, earth, water and fire have different colors.
The five wizards are all witch cultivators, with markings on their cuffs, and they are definitely not great witches.
The reason is very simple, the Great Witch does not need to salute anyone, and besides, there must not be so many Great Witches in the county town, otherwise it would not have fallen to this point.
After a few wizards left, Meng Yun immediately retracted his gaze, "How many people are there in the barbarian great witch?"
"Originally, there were five of them, but when the Wizard Kai was dying, he killed one and injured two," Jingmi put away his potential contempt for him, "According to the next estimate, there will be no more than four barbarians who can fight." โ
"How many witches do you still have?" Meng Yun asked again.
"One, he's the nephew of the Wizard of Kai, Wizard Ji," Keimi replied.
"It's still a little kid, I heard Old Man Qi talk about him," Master Turtle suddenly interjected and said to him, and looked at Jing Jian suspiciously after speaking, "But as far as I know, he is still only a witch cultivator." โ
"This time is different from the past, before the wizard died, he passed on all the cultivation to him," Jing Jian bowed his head and said to the turtle master Zhengse.
Hearing this, the turtle master was surprised and said, "Sacrifice?"
"Where is he?" Meng Yun asked with a frown.
"West Gate," Jing Jian pointed to the West City Gate Tower three miles away.
Meng Yun nodded and looked at the turtle master again, "Does the Wizard Qi have any descendants?"
"He is the same as you are Yuanyang, otherwise he would not have such a high achievement," the turtle master grinned.
"Forget about the nephew, it's the nephew, it's also a blood relative," Meng Yun pondered for a moment, and walked directly in the direction of the West Gate, "The main direction of attack must be in the West Gate, let's go directly to the West Gate." โ
Meng Yun thought that he couldn't find a chance to repay the kindness of the Qi Wizard, but at least he had to help him keep his blood relatives, if it was possible to keep the entire city, which was also something that the Qi Wizard guarded before his death.
"Brother Yun, you have to be carefulโ"
At this moment, Kami's voice came from behind.
Meng Yuntou waved his hand without replying, and the turtle master and Jie directly ignored each other.
The turtle master has a bad impression of Jing Jian, thinking that this guy is a person with eyes above the top, so there is no need to say more, even if he knows you, he may not take care of you.
The title of Gongzi has two meanings in this world, one is that ordinary people are called young men whose status is higher than themselves, and the other is the name of the children of the royal family at the official level, and the city gate guards and wizards are definitely not ordinary people.
In other words, Jing Jian should be of the blood of the Beixuan royal family, and the king is his father.
Ten minutes ago, the barbarian army was already twenty miles away, and it will only get closer and closer after that.
On the city wall, at this moment, they are all carrying the wood and stone guarding the city, there are very few people who really wear armor, less than thirty percent of them are visually examined, most of them are civilians in sackcloth, most of these people are yellow and thin, and their clothes are tattered, similar to his image, but they have no aura to protect themselves.
In addition, the weapons and equipment are also insufficient, some people come up with hoes, some carry kitchen knives in their waists, and some carry cauldron lids as shields.
From the south gate to the west gate, the city wall was more than three miles, and behind each battlement there were stones and wood, but there were only these two defensive equipment, and a very small amount of fire oil was arranged above the city gate to resist the enemy who attacked the city gate.
It was icy and snowy, and the cold wind was howling.
Hunger and cold tortured the soldiers and civilians defending the city all the time, and some even died while walking, and their corpses fell from the city walls.
Others seem to have become accustomed to it, and they are not uncommon, burying their heads in preparing for their work.
Meng Yun withdrew his gaze from these people, "Five Great Witches, can you beat them?"
"Ten isn't a problem either," Master Turtle patted his chest.
"That's good," Meng Yun nodded reassuringly.
His cultivation is far from enough to compete with the Great Witch, and he has to rely on Jie to deal with powerful characters, but fortunately, Master Turtle didn't let Jie go, otherwise it would be all over now.
As he spoke, not far ahead, a middle-aged man with an anti-rolling log suddenly fell to the ground.
Meng Yun stepped forward to help the person up, and after the other party thanked him in a low voice, he was about to pick up the wood and continue to resist.
Seeing this, Meng Yun directly snatched the wood, and at the same time, stuffed the only remaining dry food to the other party.
The middle-aged man was so moved that he wiped his tears, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, but he didn't listen to the persuasion, so he could only helplessly pick up the wood and leave first.
After he had gone away, the middle-aged man got up, wiped his eyes, tucked the dry food into his arms, turned around and continued to carry the wood.
In fact, there are many people here in similar situations, but he doesn't have so much dry food, the key is to relieve the current predicament, otherwise more people will starve to death and freeze to death.
Throwing the log to the battlement in front, the soldier in command glared at him angrily, but when he saw that he had a sword pinned to his waist, he did not dare to scold him, and turned to scold at the others.
"You said before that barbarian wizards practice witchcraft, what kind of witchcraft are they?" he directly ignored the other party, this soldier was full of red face, chickens and cranes, and he had the strength to scold people, this spirit is not bad, but unfortunately it is not used in the right place.
"The barbarian witch can change the body of a beast, can perform blood sacrifices, and summon the soul of the ancestors to add to his body," the turtle master and Er followed him.
The road to the city wall is less than two meters wide, and the people who carry wood and stone are coming and going, and the preparations for the city defense are in full swing......
