Chapter 118: Retreat
After receiving the order to retreat, the crowd began to stir, and the soldiers behind the wall desperately squeezed towards the second wall, while the soldiers who were fighting the barbarians on the front line were instead left behind.
It can't go on like this! Julian looked worriedly at the soldiers who were in the midst of a rout, and after losing the strength to stop the enemy in unison, more people began to drop their weapons and run to the rear, and there were strange scenes on the battlefield, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers struggling to resist the barbarians, but the fleeing people were crowded together, blocking the road.
Shen Wei saw that the situation was not good, he immediately drew out his long sword and shouted: "Supervisor, where are the Supervisors?" ”
Several Warseers raised their hands, squeezed by the soldiers, unable to organize an out-of-control army.
The army became more and more chaotic, and even the shouting orders of the overseers were muffled, and seeing that the barbarians were about to occupy the first wall, at the critical moment, a wind blade suddenly struck, and one of the fleeing soldiers led by him was cut in two.
More than a dozen soldiers knelt on the ground in pain with their heads in their hands, screaming incessantly.
"Ahh My head! ”
"It hurts!"
The two corpses of their comrades lay in front of them, scarlet blood splattered all over their faces, and the soldiers were frightened, thinking that the barbarians had blocked their retreat.
More than a dozen soldiers who had been suppressed by their mental power lay on the ground, all foaming at the mouth and moaning in confusion.
Mu Lan's face turned pale, and she stood in front of the soldiers with an indifferent expression.
The soldiers retreated in horror, this female mage they recognized, the battle mage regiment under her leadership repeatedly turned the tide of the battle, these people are already synonymous with "killing gods", every time as long as they wave their hands, pieces of barbarians will die, but the terrible thing is, this time the mages are going to point their butcher knives at them?
In order to stop the chaos, Mu Lan used a lot of spiritual power to suppress it, and seeing that the soldiers stopped in front of the second city gate, and no one dared to rush forward again, she breathed a sigh of relief, the goal had been achieved, and then looked at Shen Wei.
Shen Wei didn't expect Mu Lan to be so decisive and kill people directly, but in this case, iron-blooded means are needed, the soldiers were shocked by the tragic situation of the corpse, and the chaotic scene was finally controlled, he stood on Julian's side and raised his sword and shouted: "The width of the city gate is limited, enter in four rows, and enter in an orderly manner without crowding!" Violators, kill! ”
The other Overseers finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd, and they stood outside the group to help maintain order, and with Julian's permission they held the power of life and death, and anyone who violated the rules and crowded forward would be killed on the spot.
"And the soldiers haven't withdrawn, let's go to the back of the palace!" Julian said to Shen Wei.
"We'll go too!" Mu Lan ran in the direction from which she came with the battle mage group.
Looking at Mu Lan's pale and bloodless face, Julian was a little worried, he knew that it was a state of mental overdraft, Mu Lan had been fighting for too long, and he had been casting spells without stopping during this time, and he almost fell to the ground when he suppressed those soldiers just now.
Julian led the team to follow Mu Lan, and when he saw that there was only Shen Wei beside him, he wondered, "What about the rest of your team?" ”
Shen Wei shook his head when he heard this, "They have other plans, and I don't know very well." ”
Julian didn't ask any more questions, and after catching up with Mu Lan, he saw that the city wall was already full of barbarians, and the soldiers of Willenburg were struggling to support themselves on the narrow road.
"We're coming! Retreat in order! ”
The eyes of the soldiers who were left behind, thinking that they had become outcasts, lit up, and Roy was also mixed in with these soldiers, and he shouted in surprise: "It's His Royal Highness the Prince, he has come to save us!" ”
And the "Goddess of Life", Roy's afterglow saw the slender and thin Mu Lan, her face was pale, but she still barely supported the shield, and the battle mage beside her threw a ball of magic into the feet of the barbarians.
With His Royal Highness the Prince and the "Goddess of Life" escorting, Roy fought harder, and the rest of the soldiers were also inspired, knowing that they had not been given up, and the hope of life made them burst out with a strong fighting spirit, and for a while, the barbarians found that these soldiers suddenly became powerful, and they all waved their weapons in their hands desperately.
"Are you okay?" Julian's worried gaze came, and he held the crumbling Mu Lan.
"I'm fine, I'll recover after meditating." Mu Lan pursed the corners of her mouth, and the remaining spiritual power in her body supported Thrall's shield.
Julian and Mu Lan led the rest of the soldiers to fight and retreat, this hundred meters of the road is like walking for a year, obviously the city wall in front of them just can't get close, the barbarians who rushed into the first city wall are more numerous, they occupy a high place and throw the short axe in their hands at the soldiers below.
Every time he was hit by the short axe, Thrall's shield faded, and Mu Lan couldn't stand anymore, and was dragged to the second gate by Julian.
"Hurry up! Hurry up, Your Royal Highness the Prince! The soldiers who opened the city gate shouted loudly, and most of the soldiers who had withdrawn from the first wall entered the safe area, leaving only the hundreds of compatriots in the urn city.
"Come in, my highness!" Julian shoved his soldiers, but he himself remained where he was, the gates ajar, the remnants running desperately inside, and by this time the barbarians had completely captured the first wall, and they roared to celebrate this temporary victory.
"You guys get out of here!" Seeing that Mu Lan's battle mage group was still standing in place, Julian couldn't help but get anxious, and he couldn't wait to throw Mu Lan directly into the city gate.
"Let's go!" Mu Lan said calmly, she saw that the remnants of the soldiers stranded in the urn city were decreasing, and the barbarians wielding battle axes came one after another, knowing that it was already the last moment, and now there must be no chaos, and the team must retreat in an orderly manner.
Julian knew that Mu Lan was very stubborn, so he sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's not bad to die here with you." ”
The long dark hair blew up, and a smile flashed in Mu Lan's amber eyes.
"What do you think, I won't die here if I die."
Seeing the hideous faces of the barbarians gradually approaching, she smiled lightly: "The way I reserved for myself to die is vigorous, and it is too embarrassing to die in the hands of these miscellaneous soldiers, and the character is going to collapse." ”
What is a character? Julian didn't understand, but seeing that Mu Lan could still joke at a critical moment, he also laughed.
"Is there joy in suffering? Or is there another hole card? ”
Mu Lan saw that the remnants of the soldiers had finally retreated behind the second wall, and she was also relieved, and waved her hand, letting the battle mages run first.
"My mental strength is running out, I'm going to release the collective suppression one last time, and you will be responsible for bringing me back to the city safely after I faint."
Julian nodded with a serious face, and at this time, several barbarian soldiers who were at the head had already swung their short axes, and Mu Lan closed his eyes tightly in the face of the enemy who was close at hand.
Then the more than thirty barbarian soldiers fell straight to the ground, and the barbarians behind them who were not suppressed by their spiritual power did not have time to stop, and they were tripped by their teammates one after another, and the vanguard force that rushed in first suddenly became chaotic.
Holding the unconscious Mu Lan tightly, Julian desperately rushed to the city gate that left a gap.
