Chapter 57: The Great Retreat
The middle section of the Canghe River.
This is the largest river in the Wu tribe that irrigates the fertile Yuncang Plain.
It also helped the tribe to have a huge transportation capacity, which allowed the upstream and downstream to transport materials more quickly.
On weekdays, there is always no shortage of boats coming and going on the entire Canghe River.
However, because of the attack of the Heavenly Demons, at this time, there was only the only boat of Han Wei and the others on the entire river.
On the river.
Mastiff Jing had already straightened up.
He pointed to the west bank of the river in surprise: "Those people, what are they doing?"
Han Wei and Bai Hua hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by Mastiff.
Originally, because of the attack of the Heavenly Demons, it was rare for a large number of pedestrians to appear in the wild.
People either hide in the city or in settlements like Passage Village.
However, when Han Wei looked over, he found that there were a large number of refugees-like people, who were slowly heading towards the north.
Among the refugees, it was obvious that there were military personnel maintaining order, and with Han Wei's eyesight, they could clearly see that some soldiers were still supporting the elderly, or helping some ordinary people with their luggage.
But the queue was too long, and the people were carrying a lot of things, and the speed was very slow.
"Oh my God...... Mastiff opened his mouth wide, "what's going on." β
"Whatever happens, we have to ask. β
Han Wei's face sank, and he steered the ship to sail to the west bank.
When he reached the shore, he was the first to jump off the boat, and Bai Hua was the last, retracting the boat into the armband.
The three of them walked in the direction of the "refugees".
The movement of the three cultivators who were running quickly attracted the minds of the soldiers near the "refugees".
The soldiers were visibly relieved to see that it was three humans running in.
A young officer ran out of the ranks and ran to the trio.
Bai Hua took out a waist card early and threw it to the young officer: "I am Bai Hua of the third squadron of the former Fifth Brigade, what happened here?"
"Ah! It's Sister Bai Hua!"
The officer snapped at her a little excitedly, saluted, and then asked in confusion, "Don't you know about White Star City?"
"We were out on a mission beforeβtell me, what's going on?" Bai Hua regained his cold expression, which worked well for soldiers and junior officers.
Sure enough, the officer immediately replied honestly: "It's the Heavenly Demon, the Heavenly Demon attacked the city again a few days ago!"
Sure enough, the least expected thing happened.
The hearts of the three of them were tight.
Han Wei hurriedly asked, "What about White Star City now?"
The officer glanced at Han Wei - he was not in front of him when Han Wei turned into a giant dog, and he didn't know Han Wei.
Bai Hua said: "His problem is my problem. β
The officer immediately straightened his chest: "Yes!
Han Wei: "......"
Bai Hua's fame is really good in the army.
The officer said: "The number and intensity of the Heavenly Demons who came this time are not as high as last time, with the experience of last time, we will hold it this time." β
He paused and said, "But then the clan still ordered to retreat, I don't know why, that's not something that an officer of my level can inquire." β
The three of them looked at each other.
It seems that the patriarch must be found to find out the real reason.
Bai Hua asked the officer, "Then do you know where the patriarch is now?"
The officer shook his head: "She was in command in the city before, but now she doesn't know - we've been out for two days." β
He thought of something and seemed to add: "It's not just White Star City retreating, the patriarch's order is that all clans must withdraw." β
Mastiff Jing asked, "Do you know where they are going to retreat?"
When the young officer saw Mastiff Jing, his face changed, and he jumped back suddenly: ", Black Heavenly Demon!"
Mastiff Jing was furious: "You are the Heavenly Demon! Your whole family is a Heavenly Demon! Heavenly Demon, your uncle!"
"Ahh The young officer took a closer look and realized that Mastiff Jing was not a heavenly demon, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm too nervous during this time." β
Mastiff: "......"
The young officer then said, "Where did you just go?"
Bai Hua said: "Where the tribe has withdrawn. β
"Oh, yes, yes. The officer nodded, "The order from above is to withdraw to the territory of the Tatsu tribe. β
"Chen Clan?" Han Wei muttered to himself, and the memories of the Chen Clan came back to his mind.
The Chen tribe is also called the Shenlong tribe.
The territory of the Chen tribe is to the west of the Xu tribe, and the area is larger.
Heading west from the village of Passage, after crossing the rolling Wunu River, is the territory of the Chen tribe.
This is a tribe that is much stronger than the Wu tribe.
Han Wei said, "All in all, let's go see the patriarch first." β
Bai Hua looked at the young officer: "These clansmen will ask you." β
The officer thumped his chest: "The mission must be accomplished!"
Han Wei's face trembled: "...... Leave. β
Back on the ship, they finally saw the eastern wall of White Star City in the evening.
The eastern section of the city wall was built near the river, and the water of the Canghe River rushed in front of the east wall day and night.
In order to facilitate the transportation, Shirahoshi City built a large-scale dock outside the eastern city wall.
At this time, there was no one on the entire dock.
"Why don't you take some people away by boat?" Han Wei had been puzzled by this question for a long time.
"The book says that the Heavenly Demons have winged demons and eagle demons that can fly, and if we choose to ship and encounter those demons, we can only sit and wait for death. Bai Hua replied, "I think so. β
Han Wei was silent for a moment.
He knew that most of what Bai Hua said was true.
Judging from what he had observed through the time, almost all of the human beings' anti-air power was those energy attacks after cultivation, as well as various heavenly demon weapons.
If it were me, I wouldn't have chosen shipping in this case......
He thought silently.
After putting away the boat, the three of them ran quickly towards the city gate.
The east city wall was also closed at this time, Han Wei didn't say a word and took out his claws and threw them at the city wall, the claws pierced the city wall firmly, Han Wei tied a rope around his waist, and left the other end for Bai Hua and Mastiff Jing: "I'll go up first, and then pull you two up." β
Soon, Han Wei used this method to go up the city wall and pull Bai Hua and Mastiff Jing up.
At the last step of the city wall, Han Wei pulled Bai Hua - Bai Hua's face flushed slightly, but Han Wei didn't notice.
All his attention was on the cityβand as far as the eye could see, seventy or eighty percent of the people in the city had already withdrawn.
From their vantage point, they could only occasionally see a few soldiers in a hurry.
Some of the soldiers were knocking on doors to check for any people who had not yet been taken away.
There were other soldiers who loaded the last of their supplies into their vehicles β apparently preparing for their final departure.
Han Wei's face immediately became ugly: "Damn, we won't be late, right?"
