Text Act VII: The Last Battle Song_Chapter 382: Father
"To be honest, Aurora, have you ever thought in your life that you would be embarrassed to the point of being trapped in a lonely city?" Simon Zhishui sat on the stone by the fire, and although he was dusty, he still asked with some energy.
"Honestly...... I really didn't expect it. Aurora is also gray-faced, and he is stirring the burning fire with a twig.
"What a fiasco, shame, I, Ximen Zhishui, have lived for so many years, and you have never lost like this time, a complete defeat." Simon Zhishui sighed and actually smiled.
"Can you stop talking?" Aurora's face was ugly, "Ximen Zhishui, are you embarrassed to laugh?" If you hadn't seen through the enemy's offensive intentions, would we have been able to lose the two fortified cities of Weihong City and Yunlai City in a row? Even if one of those two cities could be kept, we would not have fallen into such a situation. ”
Ximen Zhishui didn't say anything, just stroked his forehead, and his long light blue hair was already very dirty, because he had been withdrawing after the defeat two days ago, and only now did he have the opportunity to stop and rest and rest, and a noble person like him has become like this, so you can imagine what his subordinates will look like.
"Actually, I can't blame you all, I also have a lot of responsibility, the winter famine in the past two years has reduced the morale of our army by more than half, damn ......it," Aurora said viciously, punching the ground.
Suddenly, Simon Zhishui stood up, his white-blue shabby sleeved robe brought up a burst of firewood ash, and he said lightly: "Until dawn tomorrow, it is estimated that the doomsday coalition army of Mephistopheles will attack, I will go to the city defense to have a look, now is the last moment, the military spirit is the easiest to rejuvenate, I will go and talk to the soldiers." ”
"It's good, it's good." Aurora looked at the fire in front of him and responded in a daze.
"After tonight, maybe there won't be anything to be attached to." Aurora said silently again.
……
The cold of the black harsh winter has lasted for a year, no one thought that it was originally an abnormal climate change, but the harsh winter lasted for a year, in this year, all the resources in the South County area were almost exhausted, but the follow-up harm brought by the black severe winter period is still continuing, that is, the problem of resources, the climate disaster in the South County has spread from the eastern Yunling to the edge of the Modisic Great Forest, and even the eastern part of the Modisak Great Forest has been threatened, so, Almost all the people in Nanjun have left their homes, and millions of people have gone north, and for a time there have been most "empty cities". But the authorities had nothing to do about it, and the government could only help the people move north on the one hand, and then cross the infinite mountains to transport military supplies, so that the army of Nanjun could barely hold on.
During this period, although the Black Stone Demon Clan did not launch a large-scale offensive battle because it was also plagued by the black winter, it also sent a number of small forces to attack Nanjun during this period, and the army of Nanjun barely coped with it, but during this period, according to the report sent back by the intelligence organization Sickle, another legion of the Black Stone Demon Clan led by the Great Asura King Demon God, Demon Night Asura, defeated the army of the allied Failushen Clan in the Anfalos Land Islands in the South China Sea.
It is reported that as an ally of the Terrans, according to the treaty signed between the Terrans and the Failu Protoss after the demarcation, the Failu Protoss should help the Terrans when the rebellion between heaven and earth is in danger, so after the Xuan Emperor appeared in the black winter period after the war began, he personally sent a letter of help to the Failu Protoss God Emperor Five Sages Hong, the Five Sages Hong judged the situation, and immediately sent two large armies with a total of 400,000 yuan, including the Divine Court Guard Legion and the Peak of the Gods Legion, from the Divine Realm to support the Terrans through the Gate of the Realm. With the Glory Angel Ferrero as the leader of the army, Loki Iglasius, who was still an evil god at the time, also participated as a combat staff officer, and then in the Anfaros land group, the Faitus Protoss army encountered the legion of the Blackstone Demon Doomsday Alliance, and the leader was the Great Demon God Demon Night Asura. As a result, Ferrero was defeated by the Doomsday Alliance of the Demon Night Asura with a long-lost "Liuhe Formation" before he could meet with the high-ranking cadres of the Slayer Alliance in Nanjun, and he was defeated by the Doomsday Alliance of the Demon Night Asura. When the two sides were arguing with each other, the Doomsday Coalition had already caught up, and at this moment, Loki Igrasius, as a combat staff officer, held high the imperial banner of the Five Saints Hong, declaring that according to the order of the God Emperor, the whole army should immediately withdraw to the God Realm, but Shui Xin, one of the five god court guards, acted recklessly, refused to listen to Loki's words, but falsely accused Loki of lying to confuse the public, and falsely passed on the order of the God Emperor. The remaining members of the Great Legion responded to the call, and the Great Army was able to safely retreat to the Divine Realm. But the support of the Faitrus came to naught.
Until recently, the black harsh winter finally gradually passed, but Aurora and Ximen Zhishui were very clear at that time, as soon as the harsh winter was gone, the harsh environment that restricted the Black Stone Demon Clan disappeared, and that was also the time when the disaster of the defenders of Nanjun came. Sure enough, as the two of them expected, on the third day after the cold wave faded, the Red City was attacked by the Mephistopheles army.
It is different from the previous attack strategy of the Black Stone Demon Clan. This attack on the Red City, the army of the Black Stone Demon Clan did not rampage like before, and directly rushed out of a road of entry with flesh and blood without a brain, what is strange is that this time the Black Stone Demon Clan, as if under the guidance of a master, actually began to use the formation to launch an attack in an orderly manner, both in terms of time and from the interspersed order of space, it is exquisite to the extreme, this, as a wise general, Ximen Zhishui has a deep experience, in the face of the strategy of the Black Stone Demon Army, he actually has a ...... The feeling of looking in the mirror.
Although the distance between the red city and the water-stopping city-state is only more than 40 kilometers, but from the distance of more than 20 kilometers, the terrain has completely undergone tortuous changes, in the part of the water-stopping city-state, it is a relatively close place to the coastal area of the South China Sea, so everywhere is basically a large coastal plain, endless but the road is smooth, you can enter the range of the red city, the terrain begins to develop towards the rugged mountain road, and the terrain is no longer flat. Because it has entered the "Nanjun hills" that occupy most of the terrain of Nanjun, because more than two-thirds of Nanjun are hilly and mountainous terrain, so many cities are built by relying on the direction of the mountainous terrain, and the terrain outside the city is very suitable for the enemy's sneak attack, from the city gate, it is almost impossible to guess which direction the enemy will attack from, especially the red city, the south gate foundation of the red city is only three meters high, if the enemy attacks from the south, it is not at all taken by surprise, and the foundation of the east city gate is actually one hundred and thirty meters, The foundation of the West City Gate is only thirty-two meters, which is used to defend against the enemy, and it is impossible to choose to be in the Red City, but after the loss of the water-stopping city-state at that time, Aurora Mikrolos thought so, the Red City is the southern guard point of the South County City, if the Red City is fine, then the two central cities of the South County City and Lingzhou City will not have an accident, because the military supplies such as grain and grass transported from the north are directly sent to the Lingzhou City State and the South County City in the north of the South County to carry out the next step of the distribution of the defenders around the country. So what Aurora wants is to protect Nanjun and Lingzhou in the rear.
But it's not just Aurora, even Ximen Zhishui didn't expect that there was actually a "wise general" among the Black Stone Demon Clan, and the terrain near the red city had become a "strategic place" for that "wise general" to display his talents.
That day, it was evening, Ximen Zhishui arranged various matters of the army in the town outside the red city as usual, because the cold of the black winter finally faded, so, Ximen Zhishui thought, to see if the current land can grow crops, but what he didn't expect was that the rapid change in temperature actually made many people in the army suffer from cold fever, probably because the extreme cold disappeared too quickly, plus Nanjun was originally hot and humid weather, it is normal to get sick, but the terrible thing is that Some of the patients with cold and fever actually deteriorated and caused the symptoms of the plague, so Simon went to the town to see the crops on the land and to send the medicine he had refined himself, hoping that the disease in the army would be eliminated as soon as possible.
After coming to the town, Ximen Zhishui saw that the farmland was still a scene where the ice and snow had not completely melted, so he was very sad, he went to the regiment located in the town, and saw the sick sergeants complaining, and he felt a sour feeling in his heart, he felt that as a leader, he was indeed unwilling to let this kind of thing happen.
"Send these medicines down and put them in the drinking water that everyone drinks, and I believe that the evil disease will be eliminated soon." Ximen Zhishui handed a packet of alchemy to the commander of the corps and said.
"Yes, Deputy Director-General." The commander bent down and ordered the bag of alchemy.
At this moment, Ximen Zhishui's ears suddenly moved, thinking that he seemed to have heard some strange sound, it looked like the wheezing sound of some terrifying animal, and then, Ximen Zhishui took the five hundred soldiers he brought from the Red City, and rushed towards the source of the sound, on the way, Ximen Zhishui Music felt a trace of unease, he looked at the southern hills that were haunted by mountain fog, he didn't know what would be there, but he could imagine it, because these wheezing sounds were as heavy as the wheezing sound of the tiger clan.
Ximen Zhishui immediately made a decision, and when he went to the source of the voice, he also took out his own communication jade and dialed the instant communication with Weihongcheng.
"Aurora, where are you?" Simon Zhishui didn't say a word, and immediately asked.
"In Nancheng, the supplies from Nanjun have just come in, and this time the supplies are less than three months ago, I'm afraid everyone can only eat two meals a day to drink gruel before they can ......use it," Aurora said endlessly, accompanied by the sound of flipping through the account book, as if he was checking the accounts in person.
"Enough!! I've got a situation here!! Simon Zhishui whispered as he walked with his troops in the dry tall grass.
"What's wrong?" Aurora immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked, and at the same time, the business of flipping through the ledger gradually disappeared.
"I heard the wheezing sound of the orcs, and it was in the small mountains south of the town, but now the mountain fog is too thick to see clearly, so I took them over to see it in person." Simon Zhishui replied slowly.
"The wheezing of the orcs? This is very strange, could it be that there are remnants of the beast clan here......" Aurora muttered to herself.
"That's not it, the remnants of the beast clan have nothing to worry about, but I'm just worried, I'm afraid it will be a trick of the Black Stone Demon Clan, so, Aurora, you must see the east and west gates of the Red City, I expect something to happen there, you be careful, don't be careless, it's getting dark now......" Ximen Zhishui said cautiously, the expression on his face suddenly became very serious.
"I see, but I don't think you should go over there to check what if it's an enemy trick," Aurora asked, a little worried.
"Don't worry, plus the strength of the town, I now have 4,000 people in my hands, even if there is an ambush there, I can catch them off guard with my backhand, I just hope they don't really have a giant beast there." Simon Zhishui said jokingly.
"Received, if there is any emergency, contact in time." Aurora responded, then hung up with two clicks.
Ximen Zhishui also hung up the communication, he walked in front of the 95 group, following the wheezing sound and continuing to walk, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the fog shrouded the surroundings, but he could still detect it, he knew that it should be almost dark, once it was dark, their 95 group and even the troops in the town were cut off, if the enemy really came to surround it, it would be troublesome, so he immediately made a decision, quickened his pace, and went to find out as soon as possible, what was the source of the wheezing sound, just thinking, His steps were faster, and he turned around and ordered the Ninety-Five Group to move faster, and for a while, the rustling sound of stepping on the grass was endless.
Finally, Ximen Zhishui felt that the source of the wheezing sound was in front of him, and their troops walked past a crooked-necked tree, only to see a huge golden-spotted black-striped tiger lying on the ground, the thigh of the hind limbs was caught by the hunter's trap, the blood flowed, and he couldn't stop panting in pain, the sound was actually from the king of beasts in the mountain, and Ximen Zhishui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief under the premise of feeling incredible.
"Is it really that I'm thinking too much?" Simon wiped the sweat from his head and muttered.
At this moment, a roar above his mind exploded, his whole body vibrate, his nerves were highly tense, he reflexively looked back at Wei Hongcheng, and then muttered, "What's wrong, why...... I think something is wrong? Am I too nervous? ”
At this moment, the tiger who was caught in the back thigh of the beast suddenly flashed a burst of red light in his eyes, and then, the tiger actually said slowly: "Ximen stops the water, the wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, what he said is really not wrong at all, your cleverness will really make you enter the trap of cleverness......
The subordinates of the 95th unit all looked at the tiger that could only talk in astonishment, although Ximen Zhishui was also surprised, but he did not panic, he calmly touched his eyes, and then a blue light shot out from his right eye, hitting the tiger's body, the tiger was attacked and suddenly shook all over his body, and almost turned over in pain.
Then, the tiger turned out to be a man, to be precise...... It's an orc.
"Catch him, don't kill him, I'm going to ask him something." Simon shouted sharply.
The sky gradually darkened, and the mountain fog gradually dispersed, and finally the vision began to clear.
The "Tiger Man" was captured by four or five people, but he still looked indifferent, and he said arrogantly: "Ximen Zhishui, don't you think you have lost?" Don't you know what's going to happen? ”
"What do you want to say?" Simon Zhishui lit a cigarette, and the blue light of the lighter chilled his face in the dark environment, and he was still looking at the tiger man on the ground.
"This offensive and defensive battle in Nanjun, from the very beginning, you have lost, maybe Hong Jun Ming shouldn't have sent a smart person like you to Nanjun, and Aurora Miklos, he is also a little too smart, for a place like Nanjun, it is the hard way to send brainless heroes like Guan Yingbu and Beiying Rui Wuji, but ...... Shangguan Yingbu and Bei Ying Rui Wuji are both dead! Hahahaha!! ”
Looking at the ridicule of the tiger man, Ximen Zhishui suddenly took the cigarette butt off his mouth, and then grabbed the burning cigarette butt in the palm of his hand, extinguished the cigarette butt, and the blue tendons on his forehead protruded, "You say...... What the? ”
"Don't you know? On the Xishagu side, Shangguan Yingbu and Beiying Rui Wuji have both died in battle!! The tiger man said with a sharp laugh.
"You talk nonsense!" Ximen Zhishui rushed over, and directly cut off the head of the tiger man with the hand knife in his right hand, he was aggressive, a little annoyed and angry, before, he did feel that something seemed to have happened to Xishagu, and there were indeed rumors that Shangguan Yingbu and Beiming Rui Wuji had died, but Ximen Zhishui thought that it was just a rumor that someone was walking in order to create panic after the accident of Selente Pumielga in Nanjun City, because the accurate news had not yet been passed down from Shangfeng Xuanhuang Hongjun Ming, He can't speak out until the real news comes down, even though he knows that something must have happened to Sishagu.
"Deputy Director-General, let's go back quickly." Unit 95 said.
Ximen Zhishui did not answer him immediately, but stood in front of the corpse of the tiger man and slowly lit a cigarette, and then looked at the corpse of the tiger man and thought about something thoughtfully, and suddenly, he said lightly: "Oh no, this is not the case......
"Deputy Director-General, what's wrong?" Unit 95 asked.
"That's not right...... It's not right......" Ximen Zhishui suddenly shouted: "Hurry back to the Red City!" This is the time to tune the tiger away from the mountain!! ”
"The plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?!" The people of the Ninth Fifth Unit muttered in surprise, but Ximen Zhishui had already begun to rush towards the Red City.
"I'm fooled!!" Ximen Zhishui flew away in the air, and scolded himself loudly.
Just when the West Gate did not find the tiger that the tiger man had become, the West City Gate of the Red City had already moved, it was indeed the enemy's strategy, although the terrain of the West City Gate was not too high, but there were many concave and convex rocks and strange trees on it, which was very suitable for the secret attack of the smuggling troops, and the guard force of the West City Gate was not very strong, on the contrary, it was even a little weak, because most of the troops were invested in the terrain city gate that was easy to see and easy to attack in the South City, and the Black Stone Demon Clan troops attacking the West City Gate were nothing else, It is the "Eagle Cavalry" who is good at the art of beast control, most of these Eagle Cavalry are strong but fast-acting barbarian people, they can not only control the Black Eagle, but also control the giant beasts and various animals, that is, the so-called "advanced beast taming", these Eagle Cavalry are all proficient in assassination people, although in the assassination world can only be regarded as the level of small minions, but to deal with these soldiers in the Nanjun area who are tormented by hunger, fear and psychological shock, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bag to pick up things.
The consequences can be imagined, although the West Gate Zhishui reminded Aurora to be vigilant and careful on the way to the tiger man's side, but Aurora still did not put the defense of the West City Gate and the North City Gate in his eyes, he has been focusing on the South City Gate, so the disaster happened, the West City Gate was suddenly ambushed in the mountains and forests outside the West City Gate for a long time Eagle cavalry raid, as well as many birds and beasts, as well as the attack of giant beasts, in less than a quarter of an hour, the entire West City Gate was on fire, and dead people were everywhere, By the time the aurora reacted at the South City Gate, the West City Gate had already been occupied by the follow-up Xingtian Fishlo Yi Chiyou.
Just when Aurora was about to recapture the West City Gate, he saw that there was also a battle cry coming from the direction of Beicheng, he hurriedly looked towards the north, and the skyrocketing earthquake light crossed the night sky, like the light of death, which was the seismic light produced when Mephistopheles used gravity to create a big earthquake, so the surging earthquake light appeared, he knew that Beicheng had also suffered a tough attack from the enemy, and I was afraid that eighty percent of it had been lost.
Finally, at this time, Ximen Zhishui also hurried back, like the aurora, the first thing Ximen Zhishui thought of was whether the South City Gate had been attacked? Therefore, he didn't think much about anything along the way, and left his subordinates and rushed towards the south city gate. After going to the South City Gate, Ximen Zhishui realized that he had made a fatal mistake like Aurora, that is, he underestimated the Black Stone Demon Clan too much.
After the West Gate stopped the water to the south gate, the first thing to bear the brunt of it was to shout the name of Aurora, Aurora was facing hesitation under the city tower, the West Gate stopped the water and rushed down, Aurora turned around and saw that the West Gate stopped the water coming, and then said slowly: "Old friend, we lost, the red city is irretrievable, we ...... Let's go......"
"You ......" Ximen Zhishui already knew everything, he couldn't help but want to punch Aurora, but he still stopped calmly, and then said as if deflated: "Before the enemy has entered the city, retreat from the east gate......"
"We can only ...... Did you escape? Aurora said with some disappointment.
"In this situation, we have no other choice...... "Simon Zhishui muttered, "as soon as possible, I'll go to the East City Gate first and prepare the way down the mountain......
"Okay......" Aurora said lightly.
After that, their army ran around for a long time after escaping from Weihong City, and was originally going to Yunlai City, but the front line reported that Yunlai City had also been occupied by the army led by another nameless demon god of the Black Stone Demon Clan, and in the wilderness, there was no place for them to settle down, so they avoided the pursuers behind them, and gradually withdrew the army to the northeast. The news came again, and the garrison army in the northeast was also wiped out by the army of the Blackstone Demon Clan, this time it was the masterpiece of the Demon Spirit Army led by the Demon Venerable Tomoska.
This time it was really a desperate situation, and Ximen Zhishui and Aurora could only arrange the remaining 400,000 troops on the mountains around the Huangwen Temple in the big hills of Nanjun, which is where they are staying now.
Huangwenmiao is the name of the place, it is also a very old ancient city, the area of the ancient city is not large, the army of 400,000 is divided into forty branches, which are distributed between the mountains, forests and rivers outside the city of Huangwenmiao, so as to do the fight of the trapped beast at any time, let go.
Aurora said to Ximen Zhishui, I'm afraid that before dawn, the enemy will be able to attack, Ximen Zhishui also thinks so, this night, everyone is very difficult.
It seems that the Black Stone Demon Clan has also deployed a device to block the communication signal of the Jade Force, and now the connection between the Aurora and Ximen Zhishui and the outside world has been completely blocked.
There is still half an hour, the sky is almost bright, there is a movement under the mountain, the aurora who has been meditating and resting by the fire was awakened by the sound of the commotion, Ximen Zhishui has been sitting on the dilapidated and low city gate of Huangwenmiao City, and I saw early that the branch troops arranged under the mountain began to fight with the enemy's vanguard troops, the battle was very fierce at the beginning, Ximen Zhishui jumped down from the city gate, and then took over a slender knife from the hands of the people of the 95th Army, the blade is as delicate and smooth as ice jade, It looks like it's suffocating, dangerous.
"Prepare for battle!" Simon Zhishui said sharply.
"Yes!!" Mountain-like shouts rang out one after another from inside and outside the Huangwenmiao City, and neither the two general directors of Aurora and Ximen Zhishui made speeches before the battle, because they didn't need to make those pompous declarations, and every soldier here knew that if they wanted to survive, they had to fight for their lives, and maybe there was a chance to fight back.
The first enemy to attack is Tomosca's Demon Spirit Army, those Demon Spirit Army are the medicine men of the Dark Alliance, that is, the dead spirit hunt concocted by alchemy, and the real spirit hunt is different from the real spirit hunt, these medicine people have advanced subjective initiative, and they also have another name, called "refining corpses"!!
Tomoska's masterpiece of necromancers, once these medicine people refine the corpse and touch the blood of the person, the corpse poison will seep into the blood of the person and turn lily in the human circulatory system, and finally the living person can be infected with the corpse poison of the corpse refining in a short period of time and become a medicine man, this is the terrible thing about the "Demon Spirit Army", once they fight, these miscellaneous armies formed by the Great Sage Division Legion and the family army of the garrison family are really collapsed, and they are all falling towards the mountain, and the medicine people of the Demon Spirit Army are unstoppable, But on the other side of Huangwenmiao City, the army led by Mephistopheles also attacked, as well as the armies of Chiyou and Xingtian Fishloyi, all of which attacked together.
At this moment, Mephistopheles, who was in the lead, was hit head-on by a blurred light and shadow, and then his body was heavily knocked away, hitting the giant tree that was frozen to death in the severe winter, and suddenly the giant tree was broken by the waist, and Mephistopheles stopped in mid-air, he looked at the mountain viciously, only to see that in mid-air, Aurora Miklos was there, and he was kicked by a light kick of his Aurora just now.
"Humph! Shura body, it's really nerve-wracking......" Mephistopheles smiled, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and said, then, he raised his hands high, a huge gravitational force gathered between his hands, he slammed into front of him, aimed at Aurora Mikrolos in front of him, and then shouted: "Aurora!" People say that you are the Supreme Human Emperor who has broken through the limits of the Shura body! Today, I want to see how capable you are!! ”
Tiger Rush!! Disintegrate!!
The strong gravitational force hit the air, and everyone saw that this force seemed to shatter the air in front of them, and after a suffocating half a second, the powerful impact rushed towards the aurora, this force was like a huge air crushing machine, and at the moment when it rushed along the way, everything on the ground of the mountain road seemed to be squeezed out, and suddenly the mountains and rivers collapsed, the earth cracked, and the invisible broken force rushed towards the aurora!!
"Drink, ah, ah!!!!" Aurora's muscles tensed all over her body, and then she yelled desperately, her hands and arms turning black and gold. Cross in front of him, with the deafening "Tiger Rush" attacked, his roar also rose higher and higher, only to see a burst of mountains and rivers when the light surge appeared, Aurora's arms actually blocked the powerful Tiger Rush, the powerful momentum and the light of the Aurora surged in mid-air for more than half a minute, but at this moment, the clown Zabi appeared next to Aurora at some point, kicked Aurora in the back of the waist, Aurora suddenly lost his strength, and was hit by the aftermath of the Tiger Rush, The body was rushed out, and then hit the stone wall, the stone wall was suddenly shattered by him, and his whole person was buried under the falling rock.
"Hey, hey, hey! Zabi! Who told you to plot against him!! I could have killed him in one go! Mephistopheles yelled at Zabi the Clown.
"Lord Mephistopheles, dealing with such a dangerous enemy requires a quick victory, leaving no chance for them to turn the tables on the tables, that's exactly what the Lord wants to see, isn't it......"
