Chapter 159: Bonfire Outside the City
ยท
Since Miao Se got the contact with Xun Rin, he was immediately angry, and he was angry and went straight to the northwest commercial city with all the temple snake owners to ask Yuan Huang for an explanation. "The vixen who robbed my boyfriend" and "You are kidnapping" all kinds of noise, Yuan Huang soon found that his mouth could not keep up with her, so he took a few steps back and pushed Gran and Mobian forward, which seemed to be evenly matched.
"Ah, a headache." Yuan Huang blocked his ears with his fingers and looked into the distance tiredly. The temple snake was indeed fooled, and since it came, even if it was crowned with the righteousness of protecting the country, it would leave all of them to fight against the Fire Clan. Let them make a noise first, I can't stand it.
The evening breeze on the city wall is still relatively comfortable.
Yuan Huang was standing on the only city wall in the city at this moment, inspecting everyone's preparations for battle. A long line of torches swam up and down the city walls, busy nervously.
As the chief and deputy commanders of the guards, Hongyang Minbo and Nocton arranged all the combat forces that could be deployed near the city wall. The forces were very limited, and this was already counting the two thousand knights borrowed from the Western Fortress. Monnes, the owner of the reinforcements, was detained by his father and forbidden to come, on the grounds that they too were about to face a fierce battle and were unable to do so. Lord Porta has gathered a hundred drill mages from the village with combat ability, which seems to have a certain strategic value. Sixty of the mages were evenly distributed among the troops, while the rest did not know where to run and what to do to "prepare for victory".
If there is really such a thing as victory, who will fight, there are only two things left directly left: persuasion and surrender.
Xiao Yuxiang also stayed, and there were a few more female guards around her than usual, which seemed to be the full lineup. She should have a lot to do, but she followed Yuan Huang every step of the way.
Yuan Huang leaned against the city wall, turned his cheeks back to stare at Xiao Youxiang, and asked, "Your father is really relieved to let you come to such a dangerous place." โ
"I can teleport home at any time." Xiao Yuxiang showed a smug expression and patted the dagger on her waist. It was a dagger engraved with a special spell, and it was more important than fighting to use it as a return magic item for escape.
"That's nice......"
"I'll take you with me when I run away."
No, Yuan Huang is just envious that space magic is greater than science. It's so convenient, and it's no wonder that Sister Bed would propose to take Xiao Yuxiang back to Walland for research after the spaceship is completely repaired.
Bed Sister ......
Yuan Huang has been deliberately avoiding contact with Sister Bed recently. He can only be sure that Sister Bed will not harm him in the near future, that's all. He completely tore his face with Sister Bed, although Sister Bed didn't care much, Yuan Huang still felt all kinds of embarrassment. It's okay to calm down with each other.
"My eldest miss, I've been curious since just now, what are the people doing over there? The customs of the Northwest city? How I hadn't heard of it before. Yuan Huang lazily pointed to the distance outside the city wall. At night, dozens of people sang and danced around a campfire. How could he not have heard of such a celebration when he stayed here three years ago?
Xiao Yuxiang shrugged, she was not familiar with the entertainment of civilians.
Yuan Huang touched his chin and thought. The big war is coming, and these people are still in the mood to celebrate? โฆโฆ Is it intended to dispel the uneasiness in your heart?
He beckoned the guards to summon Hongyang Minbo and Noxton.
Nocton was relatively close, and he also arranged a defensive array on the city wall, and soon ran over, came to him and bowed deeply: "My lord? โ
Yuan Huang pointed to the bonfire not far from the city wall and asked, "You arranged it?" โ
"No, it's not." Nocton was stunned by the question, "I have seen it a long time ago, and I have sent someone to ask, but it is just a group of civilians, probably uneasy because of the war, to dispel the fear in my heart." โ
It's not surprising that it's not uncommon to hear that people do crazy things out of fear before they die.
"Alright, you go get busy."
Yuan Huang had just asked Nocton to go back, when Hongyang Minbo also arrived. With the usual smile on her face, she carried two giant swords longer than her height on her shoulders, and saluted Yuan Huang slightly.
Now that he had come, Yuan Huang pointed to the bonfire outside the city and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" โ
"Hmm."
"Oh? You actually know? Tell me about it? โ
Yuan Huang was surprised to see Hongyang Minbo nodding easily.
Hongyang Minbo stretched his neck to look in the direction of the bonfire and asked, "My lord, how long has that bonfire been burning?" โ
Yuan Huang looked around and shrugged: "It's been a while, maybe ten minutes, right?" Who did you make people celebrate? โ
"It's not me, it's the Fire Dance Bichi who sent a spy to burn it, right?" The corners of Hongyang Minbo's mouth rose higher and higher, "That's the enemy's teleportation magic, even if we stop it immediately, it's too late." But fortunately, it doesn't seem to be on a large scale, so it can only teleport a few hundred people. โ
"Oh, it's the enemy's teleportation magic, hehe."
"Yes, hehe."
The people around laughed awkwardly along with Yuan Huang, and there was a relaxed and happy atmosphere around them.
Hongyang Minbo saluted and said goodbye, saying that he was going to organize the defense immediately, and then ran away quickly. Yuan Huang looked at her departing back, and the more she laughed, the more embarrassed she became, and in the end she couldn't even make a sound. He grew convinced that he had heard correctly.
- The enemy is about to teleport under the walls!
"! Prepare for battle! โ
"Prepare for war!"
"Everybody hold their place!"
Yuan Huang suddenly panicked, and went to chase Hongyang Minbo, yelling: "What the hell? That bonfire is the enemy's teleportation magic, why didn't you say it sooner! Did you say before, "It is assumed that the Fire Clan forces will land on the northwest coast and then occupy two villages before attacking"? I thought it would be tomorrow at the earliest! โ
Hongyang Minbo responded with a smile while commanding the defenders: "I seem to have guessed wrong. I said at the time, "There is no plan," and it is dangerous to speculate on the enemy's intentions in such a way as a war. โ
Yuan Huang was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
"Oh, don't worry, my lord, let's just improvise."
If Yuan Huang's skull was transparent, the white of his eyes would be able to turn into a hind eye.
"Oh, you really don't have to be angry. Actually, this teleportation magic is not very useful, you, just aim it at the bonfire with your proud celestial magic, and come out and kill one by one. โ
Hairballs! Why did Hongyang Minbo say this so simply!
Yuan Huang had never fought, he was very flustered, changed several guns, and finally used a magnetic track to set up a micro-punch on the wall and aim at the direction of the bonfire, staring at it deadly. After Hongyang Minbo arranged for all the archers in the vicinity to aim in the direction of the bonfire, he explained to Yuan Huang: "I'm sorry, I didn't see it just now." โ
โโฆโฆโ
"According to the character of "Fire Dance Bichi", the first wave of teleportation must have been self-detonating troops, heading towards the city walls. If the city wall is blown up, she will immediately lead the troops to kill it overnight, and if she doesn't succeed, she has more subordinates anyway. โ
As soon as the words fell, Nocton suddenly shouted: "Enemy attack! โ
The bonfire suddenly became blazing, and a huge pillar of fire more than 20 meters high rose up, illuminating the surrounding residential streets as if it were daylight. And among the civilians who were originally dancing and singing, a few people suddenly turned their faces and took out the flat-headed double-edged one-handed machetes that were common to the Fire Clan warriors, killing people on sight, and the cries and shouts were continuous. It seems that the number of Fire Clan spies is small.
The pillar of fire trembled.
The bottom of the flames flickered with blinding light, and then red-haired, shirtless Fire Clan men rushed out of the city without hesitation, holding something like a wine barrel. In the blink of an eye, it has exceeded half a hundred, and the transmission efficiency is extremely high.
"Alright." Hongyang Minbo clapped his hands with a smile and said loudly, "Everyone, you can shoot freely." Relax, it doesn't matter if you miss a few. โ
