Chapter 17: The Pile of the Dead

In the midst of the fire, the corpses were piled up.

A hand slowly pushed away the corpse that was pressing him, only to see a head poke out.

"Wow!!"

It's Bian Chen!

He didn't die in the flames of the explosion just now!

At the moment of the explosion just now, Bian Chen was fighting the soldiers of the enemy country with the fire technique, and then the explosion occurred just as he gathered his big move and was about to parry.

Bian Chen rubbed his eyes, he looked at the mountain-like corpse of the student in front of him, and his whole person was stunned.

"In the end.... What the hell happened, just now, what just happened?" he shook his head vigorously, trying to remember what had just happened.

Flames, Fight, Explosions!

This was the only thing Bian Chen could think of.

He slowly walked down the pile of corpses and calmly looked at the scene in front of him, which made Bian Chen, a person who had never seen death, instantly collapse his psychological defense.

Tears, fear, nausea, countless negative feelings all welled up in my heart.

"What the hell are these!" he fell to his knees with his head in his hands, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

This, this- is this war?!

He stood up weakly, and then saw the camp behind him, which had been destroyed by the fire.

Just now, after Locks lost consciousness, the dark power shield he had set up disappeared, so the camp appeared in front of Zhu Bai, who was about to go back.

Bian Chen looked at the camp that was burning with fire, and the whole person was stupid, as if the sky was falling and despair swept through his head.

"This ....."

Situation.

The first echelon of Zhuang Guo suffered three injuries and zero deaths.

The second echelon of Linguo was injured seven and three were killed.

The third echelon on the front lost 2,700 people, and the rest were all captured.

The fourth echelon on the front killed 2,300 people, 600 survived, 400 were captured and 200 escaped.

Bian Chen slowly walked into the burned camp with the divine weapon in his hand, looking at the scene around him with blank eyes.

I happened to see a few students who were hacked to death by the sword, but I didn't see the faces of these people at all, and I didn't know if these people were people I knew.

Suddenly, around the corner, he met a soldier from an enemy country.

Bian Chen didn't say a word, he directly slashed it with a sword, and then the long blade of the sword rested on the soldier's neck.

"Tell me, what's going on!" Bian Chen shouted fiercely to the soldier, "Tell me everything you know!"

But the soldier saw Bian Chen wearing this road uniform and grabbed him.

"You're a pig's head, why are you still wearing street clothes, quickly change your clothes into the clothes of a hostile country!" he said, squatting down and tearing off a set of clothes from the corpse on the side and handing it to him, "Quickly change into it!"

"Huh?" Bian Chen didn't understand what the person in front of him was saying, but he vaguely felt that the person in front of him had something to do with him.

The man sighed, then showed off the garb he wore underneath.

"I'm a student in the third class of the fourth holy grade, my name is Panko!" After saying that, he looked around vigilantly, "Let's quickly withdraw after changing clothes!"

Bian Chen couldn't get sick of the blood-soaked clothes after taking them, so he had to quickly change them and ask by the way.

"What's going on?"

Pan Ke looked around vigilantly, "Our main two generals met the strong enemy of the hostile country, that is, the Zhu Bai who held the artifact, and then the two were captured by the enemy, yesterday's explosion was caused by Zhu Bai, which directly killed more than a thousand people, and the rest of the students were dragged to the frontal battlefield by Zhu Bai as a shield!"

"Then, there is no escape?" Bian Chen changed his clothes, "Won't there really be no one in the third and fourth echelons who escaped?"

Pan Ke sighed, "Yes, only more than two hundred people escaped, and now they are all walking towards Mingcheng, thanks to you meeting me, otherwise your fate will be a dead end!"

"Then, is there anything we can do?" Bian Chen moved.

"There is no way, no one thought that the third and fourth echelons would be gone so soon, and now they can only rely on those soldiers who stayed in Ming City and the first and second echelons of Zhuang and Lin, and then, and then I hope that the fifth echelon can quickly know that this is a conspiracy to return to the frontal battlefield!" Pan Ke sighed and looked into the distance, "Let's go, let's do what we can do as much as we can, to disrupt the frontal army of the enemy country!"

"Just the two of us?" it was a little hard to believe.

Panko smiled, "No, there are still many students who have invaded the armies of the hostile countries, and we are only one of the few!"

Interception on the frontal battlefield was no longer possible, and the plan to slow down the march of the hostile army by relying on the sacrifices of the students of the Courtyard had failed, and the rest was up to the rest of the people.

The first echelon, on the battlefield of Zhuangguo.

Wang Yifan and many teachers and students wrapped their hands with huge energy, and the incoming hostile armies repelled wave after wave, and this time lasted for several days.

After the repulsion, everyone returned to the village to rest.

Wang Yifan was taking a sip of water when he received the notification of the enemy's attack again, and then, they set off again before they had rested.

This time the repulsion lasted a full afternoon.

At night, Wang Yifan sat on the high city wall and looked down, his hands were tired and numb at the moment.

"It's been almost half a month since the Daoist Academy parted, I don't know how my son is going?" Yesterday, they received the news that the third and fourth echelons were all wiped out.

He covered his head, thinking about how the third and fourth echelons with Li Yuanhong and Locks in charge could be wiped out so quickly?

It stands to reason that even if there is someone who can be compared to Li Yuanhong, it is impossible for him to be the opponent of Locks, after all, he has the dark power to restrain the power of magic!

If you think about it carefully, there are only a few possibilities, either there is a power more powerful than Locks or a power that can crush everything, for example, an artifact!

"Could it be!" a very bad possibility arose in his head, "Zhu Bai, that bastard!"

If you say..... If Zhu Bai is on the front line, that is to say, the fifth echelon pounced?!

I got information from the emperor before, saying that Zhu Bai would not participate in the battle and would stay in the base camp in the rear to complete the command.

Thinking of this, Wang Yifan's head suddenly became hot, and the whole person almost lost consciousness.

"If that's really the case..... Aren't we making a big deal of that!?"

From the very beginning of this war, it was destined to lose!

In the fifth echelon, the three of them have come to the rear base camp of the hostile country to ride back into the mountain, but here there is no feeling of a base camp at all, the defense here is lax and there is no preparation for war.

The table looked straight at the defense line of the Riding Back Mountain, which didn't look like a base camp at all, and said, "I think it's a real trap!"

Wang Zhiyi also agreed, "But, if you say so.... This whole thing should be a trap!"

"Maybe, I deliberately said this just to let us take the bait!" "The table straightened and analyzed, and then pointed to the fortress on the back mountain, "Quick, let's hurry in and find out, if this is really just a trap, then the battle on the front line will be terrible, I don't want them to meet Zhu Bai head-on!"

"Let's go!"

The three of them instantly escaped into the fortress, but there was no one in the fortress, and some only had an old man on crutches.

The old man looked at the three people who appeared out of thin air, was stunned, and then asked slowly.

"What are you three here for?"

"Looking for someone?"

"Who are you looking for?" the old man slowly knocked on the floor with his cane, "I'm empty here!"

Table felt that something was wrong with the man in front of him, and most importantly, why was he here alone?

Obviously there is no one here, but there is an old man!

"You're not looking for Lord Zhu Bai, are you?"

The old man burst out laughing.

"It's time to be loyal, Lord Zhu Bai!" Suddenly, he slammed his cane on the ground, and then he saw an explosion coming from the bottom of the fortress!

Bang - bang - bang!

"What!"

The old man looked at the three of them with a smug expression.

"Lord Zhu Bai had expected the three of you to be here, so I was specially arranged to ambush here to give you a surprise!"

With that, the entire fortress collapsed, and the mountain was flattened in a single explosion.

The smoke and dust were filled, the debris was flying, and the power of the explosion was so great that the whole earth trembled.

And Zhu Bai, who was on the frontal battlefield, felt this fluctuation with a smug face.

"It worked!"

However, how can it be so easy to leash a dog?

Wang Zhiyi used the power of darkness to bless the shield of the key at the critical moment to resist the explosion.

In the midst of the ruins, the three of them floated out along the protective shield of the artifact.

Fortunately, the shield was unwound in time, otherwise it would really be all three of them would have died here.

Wang Zhiyi coughed dryly, "It seems that it was a wrong choice for us to stay away from the frontal battlefield and come to the rear this time, and the front line must have been unable to resist!"

Wuyun said, "We must hurry back to the frontal battlefield, didn't you say yesterday that you feel the divine soldier returning to your artifact, which also means that the situation on the frontal battlefield is not optimistic!!"

"Yes, the three of us are the only ones who can compete with Zhu Bai and have been transferred, this wave is simply stupid enough to explode!" Wang Zhiyi said, and then hurried towards Mingcheng.

However, the current city of Mingcheng is suffering from the same appearance as the Heavenly Dao five years ago.

The army was coming to the city, and all the people were praying.

In the city, the Protector Genshin was breathing heavily and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

"I hope that the support will arrive on time within three days, otherwise even the gods will not be able to reverse this battle!"

As he spoke, he stood up and looked at the dense crowd of human heads in the distance.
