Quicksand City is in chaos.

The dense drums became more and more urgent, and finally almost connected into a line, and its sound was like thunder.

Ye Haotian walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and rushed towards Cuiyun Tower, and happened to meet Zhu Zhu and Su Ning'er who came on the way, after learning the news that the demon army was about to besiege the city, Zhu Zhu was just stunned, and his face did not show too much surprise, it seemed that he had long expected this result.

What Ye Haotian didn't expect was that as soon as she heard that the demon army was besieging the city, Su Ning'er, whose drowsiness had not completely faded on her face, suddenly came to her senses, not only did she not feel afraid, but her beautiful eyes actually swelled with indescribable excitement and surprise.

"Great, this county lord finally has a chance to kill the demon army!"

Seeing Su Ning'er almost jumping up excitedly, Ye Haotian felt his scalp explode for a while, and he didn't understand how the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom gave birth to such a heartless daughter, the demon army was besieging the city, and she didn't know how many people would die, she could still laugh, but then again, at this critical juncture of life and death, Su Ning'er didn't show the slightest fear on her face, which made Ye Haotian secretly admire, compared to the soldiers and generals of the City Lord's Mansion were inferior.

The chaotic and frightened shouts of the people in the city became weaker and weaker in the dense drumming, and in less than half a pillar of incense, there was no longer a single figure in the streets and alleys, and the lively and noisy quicksand city seemed to have suddenly fallen into a deep sleep.

Ye Haotian took Zhuzhu Su Ning'er to the tower of the South City Gate, bypassing a soldier with a famous sword unsheathed and a crossbow wound to Xu Heihu's side.

"Just such a little person?"

Seeing less than two hundred soldiers and dozens of hunters standing scattered on the eight-meter-wide city wall, Ye Haotian frowned.

"Half went to the north of the city. ”

Xu Heihu said with a gloomy face: "There are less than five hundred soldiers in the city, and more than a hundred were killed and wounded when encircling and suppressing Xu Heihu, and there are still three hundred and fifty-one people who can fight at present," he paused, and glanced at the hunter sandwiched between the soldiers, "I have already issued a summoning order with the sound of drums, and the cultivators and adult men in the city will come to support soon." ”

After listening to Xu Heihu's words, Ye Haotian didn't say anything again.

The demon army came faster than expected, and when a large banner with a blood-dripping skull pattern loomed into the dust and fog that was getting closer and closer, all the soldiers defending the city felt the city wall under their feet begin to tremble slightly, and then heard the sound of heavy hooves and feet on the ground.

Ye Haotian stood on the city gate, his eyes narrowed slightly, his line of sight quickly shortened with the approaching demon army, and Zhu Zhu, who was standing beside him, was holding a deer antler bow in his arms, and there was no expression on his beautiful little face, only a pair of blue eyes flashing with a cold light from time to time.

Su Ning'er, who was still excited before the demon army approached, suddenly turned pale after seeing the tall and hideous demon warriors under the skeleton, and the best spirit treasure Wucai Qinglian, which was inserted on her chest as a corsage, was already held in her hand, and she held the compass-shaped low-level spirit treasure in her other hand.

Looking at the rapidly approaching demon army, more than 200 warrior hunters on the city gate consciously drew their bows and arrows without Xu Heihu's order, aiming ahead. This time, they were holding the Great Xia Kingdom's military standard longbow in their hands, and in the case of flat ground projectiles, the maximum range could reach two hundred and fifty meters, and with the help of the nearly nine-meter-high wall of Quicksand City, the coverage distance would be even farther.

The demon army did not attack the city immediately, and they stopped more than 400 meters away from the city.

The sky was getting dark, clouds were obscuring the sun, and the wind suddenly blew on the desert, and the pungent smell of blood mixed with the air drifted to the city gates, and ran down the noses of the soldiers and hunters who defended the city and into their lungs. Everyone shuddered almost at the same time, and their eyes showed deep fear.

The fact that the defender hunters on the frontier are fierce and warlike does not mean that they are unaware of fear, which comes from the number of demon armies, and most importantly has to do with the notoriety of the Blood Skull Legion.

After the loss of the human border defense line a year ago, news of the fall of the city continued to spread to Quicksand City, and the names of several brave and warlike demon legions were quickly known to the defenders of the city.

Among these legions, there are the Shadow Legion, which is good at night attacks, the Iron Bear Legion, which is good at storming, and the Wind Legion, which is known for its speed, and the first in line is the Blood Skull Legion.

Compared to other legions, the Blood Skull Legion had the smallest number of people, but their notoriety spread throughout the Great Xia Kingdom in just one month, and the reason for this was the bloodthirstiness and ferocity of this legion, and their greatest preference was...... Slaughter the city.

In the past year, the Blood Skull Legion has captured a total of twenty-one human cities, and every time they capture a city, they will hold a slaughter feast, from the city lord and defenders, down to the old and weak, women and children, and never leave a single mouth alive. In addition to killing, the most frightening thing is the ancient tradition of cannibalism of the Blood Skull Legion, not only the brutal war beasts in the army, but also the ordinary soldiers are said to often feed on human flesh.

When gathering people to defend the city, Xu Heihu didn't say which demon army was attacking the city, and now he suddenly saw the hideous blood-dripping skull banner, and the defenders of Quicksand City, who were known for their barbarism and ferocity, suddenly felt a chill welling up in their hearts, as if they saw that the scythe of death was already on their necks, and the hand holding the bow couldn't help but tremble.

That's the Blood Skull Legion, with 2,000 elite cavalry, with the hundreds of defenders in Quicksand City, how can it be stopped?

The fear came suddenly, disappeared more quickly, and it seemed that it was only a brief moment before the mood of the warriors stabilized. Feeling the sudden aggravation of the snorts of his subordinates quickly subsided, a smile of relief flashed in Xu Heihu's cold eyes, thinking that these boys could turn fear and despair into war intent in such a short period of time, and they did not disappoint themselves.

"Why did they stop?"

Su Ning'er stood beside Ye Haotian, looking nervously ahead, the dozen or so spells she had learned in the past were constantly circling in her mind, and when she was calculating the distance and hesitating which spell to cast to kill the enemy, she couldn't help but blurt out when she saw that the demon army suddenly stopped.

"What do you say? Ye Haotian said casually.

"Are you scared?"

Ye Haotian: "......"

"Someone seems to have come out. Xu Heihu said suddenly. In his sight, a demon warrior slowly walked out on a war horse.

"What is he holding in his hand?" Su Ning'er also noticed.

Xu Heihu narrowed his eyes, "It's not a weapon, it's round, like, a human head?"

"Ahh Su Ning'er let out an exclamation.

"It's a human head. Ye Haotian said lightly, "We still have brothers who haven't come back?"

"Everything that can be returned has been returned. ”

Xu Heihu stared at the demon warrior who was getting closer and closer, and his face was a little ugly.

Ye Haotian naturally understood the hidden meaning of Xu Heihu's words, and changed the topic: "When the Blood Skull Corps attacked the city, it was simple and direct, and I haven't heard of sending people out to negotiate, so I don't want to persuade you to surrender." ”

"It's hard to say. Xu Heihu's gaze moved to the rear of the demon army, "They don't seem to have brought siege equipment, all the cavalry came, the city wall here is nearly nine meters high, and it is not so easy to attack, it is not impossible to persuade to surrender." ”

Ye Haotian's face was as pale as water, and he didn't speak again.

The demon warrior walked all the way forward until he was less than fifty meters away from the city gate, and did not stop after the soldiers in the city issued a warning of 'take another step forward and fire the bow and arrows', he raised his head, glanced at the city tower contemptuously, and shouted in a not very proficient human language: "Listen to the defenders of the city, we are here to find someone, as long as you hand him over, I will spare you from death, otherwise, this is your fate......"

As he spoke, the demon warrior raised his arm and threw the human head in his hand towards the castle tower.
