Chapter 175: Retreat
After listening to Qiu Heng's transmission, Yunxiao even forgot to swallow the braised pork in his mouth, and his face was stunned in place, he wondered if he had heard it wrong, but the panicked and depressing atmosphere around him told him that he had not heard it wrong.
The front line was defeated, and the Heavenly Demons returned.
When You Yu, who had a blue nose and swollen face, heard the news, he completely collapsed, and kept muttering in his mouth, I said that the kid was a disaster star, and the cloud demon just didn't believe it, now it's okay, the heavenly demon has attacked again, and we have to run for our lives again, if we kill the disaster star in that forest, then this kind of thing will happen......
The people who were about to take a break after eating and continuing to work also looked around blankly, and many women and children were already sobbing.
Looking at the various reactions of the people around him, Zhang Deyuan had no choice but to sigh.
Although Yunxiao knew that Chixiatian's reinforcements could not win every battle, what he didn't expect was that the defeat on the front line would come so quickly.
That's right, Twelve and Senior Brother Jiang!
"Twelve and Senior Brother Jiang are still on the front line!" Thinking of those two, Yunxiao was so nervous that he pinched the braised meat in his hand to pieces.
Salted fish looked at the meat foam that was pinched and exploded by the clouds and splashed to the ground, and said regretfully, "Don't scare yourself, just with their cultivation, they can't go to the front line, even if they take the initiative to apply for the battlefield, others will think they are a burden, it is estimated that they have now evacuated to a safe place." ”
"That's good. Although what Salted Fish said was just his own speculation, Yunxiao was convinced.
Salted fish swallowed the braised pork in one bite and sighed What's good, these are just my inferences, not to mention that according to Qiu Heng, at this time, the Heavenly Demon has already invaded the southwest of Hening Mansion, and after Hening Mansion is Kanggu City, now the front line is retreating, I estimate that in less than one day, the Heavenly Demon will attack the vicinity of Kanggu City, and now there are only two or three big cats and kittens in Kanggu City, and the reinforcements of Chixia Tian will arrive tomorrow at the earliest, even if the reinforcements arrive in time, Kanggu City will become a hell killing field, so the best choice for Kanggu City now is to evacuate. ”
"So, isn't our rebuilding in the past few days in vain?" Yunxiao said unwillingly.
"At least the people survived. ”
After listening to the salted fish's words, Yunxiao was silent, yes, the most important thing is that people live, retreat is a forced choice, if it is possible, who wants to retreat.
Now, with the concerted efforts of everyone, Kanggu City is gradually on the right track, and the survivors in the city have begun to regain hope and start a new life, but this new life has not yet begun, and the counterattack of the Heavenly Demons has once sent the people of this city into a purgatory called war.
Looking at the people around who were still full of hope at the last moment, and who were already dim at this time, Yunxiao deeply realized that the sentence would rather be a peaceful dog, not a chaotic person, and a stable life in the troubled times is just a luxury.
Sure enough, after a while, Salted Fish's words came true, and Qiu Heng announced to the people of the city in the second transmission, and after their discussion, they decided to abandon Kanggu City and retreat to the territory of the Thundering Sect.
After hearing the news, the citizens of Kanggu City suddenly exploded, and the young people with strong blood shouted that they would not leave, this is their own home, this is the land that they gave birth to and raised themselves, and they don't even have a home, what are they going to do.
The middle-aged and elderly people who dragged their families with them hoped that they could withdraw to a closer place, so that after the war ended, it would be convenient for their families to return to their hometowns.
The Thundering Sect is in the north of the Beast King Palace, and Kang Valley City is in the southernmost part of the Beast King Palace.
From the southernmost Thunder Beast Mansion of the Thundering Sect to the southernmost Kanggu City of the Beast King Palace, the distance between them is at least two or three hundred thousand miles, and even Yunxiao has to use the power of the teleportation array to walk from the Thundering Sect to the southernmost Kangu City of the Beast King Hall in just seven or eight days.
But these ordinary city citizens can't do it, even if they can afford the expensive teleportation fee, their fragile bodies can't withstand the tearing sensation caused by the formation teleportation, even if the spatial passages of these fixed teleportation arrays are much more stable than other teleportation arrays, at least they can withstand it after building a foundation of three layers and refining the internal organs.
Therefore, if the Thundering Sect is withdrawn this time, it will undoubtedly be a farewell to the land where they were born and raised by this side, what is the feeling of other races being forced to leave their homeland Yunxiao dare not say anything, but what the ordinary people of these races feel, Yunxiao knows best.
Since the Fuxi Holy Emperor enlightened the human race, the human race has advocated that all things have spirits, and psychic is emotional, with the ancestors of the human race farming and hunting on this land, multiplying, and gradually the human race and the land under their feet have become inseparable, the earth has kindness to people, and people have affection for the land.
No matter how big the world is, how can it be home if it is not the homeland?
For most stubborn Terrans, only their homeland can be called their home, because that place is the place where they settle down, the place where he was born and nurtured for him to pass on his ancestry, that place is the homeland that he will never forget, and it is the longing that he can never erase.
Even Yunxiao, who is a cultivator, can't forget it, let alone these ordinary people, Yunxiao is slightly better than them in that he doesn't regard the homeland where he raised himself too important, in Yunxiao's heart, as long as there is a family member, it is home, after all, if the homeland is gone, you can find another place, but if the person is gone, it is really gone.
After seeing that the emotions of the people of the city were almost exhausted, Qiu Heng once again transmitted the message, calling the disciples of all factions to gather in front of his tent, and asked those who were shouting and refusing to leave, to look at the people around him, to look at his wives and children, to see those who had not come to his senses until now in order to save them, and to look at the big tomb outside the city where countless people were buried, if he still insisted on refusing to leave, he would not be reluctant.
After listening to Qiu Heng's transmission, everyone was silent, and in the silence, someone slowly began to pack their luggage.
After Yunxiao came to the camp, he didn't see Ji Ling's figure left and right, but Zhongli Feifei saw him, Zhongli Feifei was about to go to Yunxiao, but was grabbed by his own Lu Xuan'er, and reminded him of the word reserved with his mouth.
After seeing that all the disciples of each faction had arrived, Qiu Heng began to arrange the retreat task, and the retreat was divided into four times to complete, after all, there were 30 million survivors in Kanggu City, and Qiu Heng and the others were only true immortal cultivators, even if they used their best to exert their sleeves, Dingtian could only take away about five million people.
Salted fish originally wanted to expose himself to the small cave in his belly, but was covered by Yunxiao's mouth, the small cave of salted fish may really be able to take away the whole city at one time, but it will definitely attract other people to covet afterwards, since the soul returned to ancient times and experienced what happened to Long Haocang, Yunxiao began to speculate on others with the worst malice, because Yunxiao will never allow something similar to Long Haocang to happen again, especially for the people he cares about, Yunxiao would rather joke with his own safety than bet on the safety of salted fish.
The first batch of evacuations has begun, and Yi Shan took the wounded and doctors, as well as the old and weak women and children in the city, to retreat first.
Hearing that Ji Ling had already retreated, Yunxiao suddenly relieved his heart.
The evacuation of the second batch began half an hour later, led by Miao Yidao.
The third and fourth batches of evacuation are the same, they are all waiting for Yi Shan, after Miao Yidao and the two come back, they will take the remaining survivors away, and the disciples of other sects will retreat with the survivors in the fourth batch, if Yi Shan and the two can bring back other fairyland masters, then the fourth batch can be completed in advance to the third batch, but no matter what, the rest of the disciples of Chixiatian will stay with Qiu Heng to defend the city until the arrival of Chixiatian reinforcements.
As soon as Qiu Heng's words came out, the scene suddenly became a little commotion.
Zhongli Feifei glanced at the clouds, and asked in his heart, "Senior Uncle Qiu Heng, why did you leave only the senior brothers and sisters of Chixia Heaven to guard the city, and my disciples of the White Feather Immortal Palace are not greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
How could Lu Xuan'er on the side not know what this best friend who grew up with her since she was a child thinks, she just wants to stay with her junior brother Yun!
Looking at Zhongli Feifei with a firm face, Lu Xuan'er said secretly, it's over, this stupid girl is really moved.
But as her best friend, even though she knew that it was dangerous to stay and defend the city, Lu Xuan'er still opened her mouth in support and said, "Yes, Senior Uncle Qiu Heng, my junior sisters in the White Feather Immortal Palace can also stay and defend the city." ”
As soon as the two of them said this, they immediately became the focus of the audience, and a few of the Chixia Tian disciples who were thinking of escaping just now were already blushing at this time, and they couldn't imagine that their dignified seven-foot men were not as good as the two weak women.
Zhongli Feifei looked at Lu Xuan'er with emotion, and Lu Xuan'er threw a coquettish scorn to her.
"Haha, the spirit of the white feather immortal palace masters and nephews who don't let the eyebrows go, I deeply admire the uncle, but you can't stay because of the reason. ”
"Why?" Zhongli Feifei said without giving up.
"That's right, Senior Uncle Qiu Heng, we are not greedy for life and afraid of death, why can't we stay and defend the city with the senior brothers and sisters of Chixia Tian?" said a disciple of the Beast King Hall in support.
It is true that the Beast King Hall is the secret son of the Heavenly Demon, but there are also many innocent disciples like the Zhao family of Qingyang Mountain, they don't know anything about their sect's defection to the Heavenly Demon, and even chose to stand on the side of righteousness in the end, tearfully raising their swords and slashing at those fellow disciples who used to be in love with themselves in the past, but now they have degenerated into Heavenly Demons.
"If you change to the predecessors of the sect to be in charge of Kanggu City, they will also make the same decision as Lao Dao, and will only leave the disciples of their own sect, this is just a customary rule between the various factions in my Liangzhou, greedy for life and afraid of death is certainly despicable, but it is also undesirable to sacrifice meaninglessly, although I let them stay and defend the city, but I did not tell them to defend it, if the situation is not right, we can also retreat." Qiu Heng said half-jokingly.
Hearing Qiu Heng's words, the atmosphere in the field suddenly relaxed a lot, after all, no one wanted to die.
Seeing that Qiu Heng said this, Zhongli Feifei no longer insisted, as long as he was sure that Yunxiao was fine, he couldn't beat himself and went to the Thundering Sect to wait for him first.
"Don't worry, Senior Uncle Qiu Heng has said so, your Senior Brother Yun will definitely be fine. Lu Xuan'er said with a smile.
Zhongli Feifei blushed and glanced at Lu Xuan'er.
Subsequently, the disciples of each faction were arranged by Qiu Heng to go to various places in the city to assist the people of the city to pack up their things and prepare for retreat, while Xianyu and Zhang Deyuan went to inspect the city walls and formations.
And Yunxiao happened to be in charge of the area of the rich old man who sent them braised meat.
