Chapter 396: One Man Saves a City Alone
These people kneeling in front of Zhu Yuan were old and young, the old ones were already gray-haired, and the younger ones were about the same as Zhu Nian.
Zhu Yuan saw these people kneeling in front of him and kowtowed, so he hurriedly went over and helped up the oldest man and said:
"Uncle, hurry up, it doesn't have to be like this."
The old man didn't want to kneel, but he couldn't kneel down by Zhu Yuan, so he could only say:
"This adult, you saved the lives of my family, how can I not thank you, especially my grandson, who is still so young, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't be able to speak, and he would be buried in the mouth of a beast."
Zhu Yuan followed the old man's words and looked at the babbling child. The child was only two years old, and he should have been innocent and splendid, but his face was full of horror at this time, and a pair of small hands were holding his mother's neck.
Zhu Yuan thought of his child Zhu Nian, and wanted to reach out to hug the child in distress, but the child cried when he saw Zhu Yuan's outstretched hand.
"Don't cry, don't cry, he's our savior." The woman holding the child hurriedly patted the child's back and said comfortably.
Zhu Yuan retracted his hand in embarrassment.
The old man was afraid that the child's actions would lose face for Zhu Yuan, so he hurriedly said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, my lord, the kid was just frightened, that's why it's like this, don't you mind."
Zhu Yuan shook his head and said:
"Old man, it's me who should apologize, I scared the children. My child is as old as him, and he still doesn't let me hold him as a father, let alone him. ”
When the old man saw that Zhu Yuan was not angry but spoke so well, his heart relaxed. Because the old man was worried and made Zhu Yuan unhappy, Zhu Yuan directly left them alone.
However, the old man's worries were superfluous, because Zhu Yuan had already decided to help these people when he thought of Xiao Zhu Nian when he saw this child.
The easiest way is to hand over these people to Bian Haoge and send them to Linyang City. But Zhu Yuan also saw the situation in Linyang City, the entire city was overcrowded, and these people only had the possibility of staying on the streets. Such a young child who has no food or shelter is likely to die.
So this idea was immediately vetoed by Zhu Yuan.
The only way left is to help Bian Haoge recapture the Twelfth Holy City.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan said to Bian Haoge who came over:
"Speaker Bian, since the neutered body has been killed, why don't we take the opportunity to recapture the Holy City?"
Bian Haoge, who came over, saw Zhu Yuan's strength and was about to do everything possible to keep Zhu Yuan and let Zhu Yuan help recapture the Twelfth Holy City, but before he could speak, Zhu Yuan actually took the initiative to speak.
This surprised and surprised him!
Surprised and surprised, Bian Haoge hurriedly said:
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Let's escort these people back to Linyang City today. ”
After Bian Haoge finished speaking, Zhu Yuan said:
"No, Speaker Bian, go back by yourself, and then bring Linyang City over. As for these people to stay here, I'll stay too, and before Linyang City comes over, I'll clean up the Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts in the second city wall. ”
"Okay, I'll bring Linyang City over as quickly as possible."
Bian Haoge replied.
The next day, when Bian Haoge came over with Linyang City, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
Inside the second wall lay the corpses of countless Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts, none of which were alive as far as the eye could see. The first wall, along with the council quarters within, was gone.
"Is this really Zhu Sheng's doing?" The city lord of Linyang City said thunderingly.
"Speaker, didn't you tell me to gather men and prepare for battle? What now? He Ming, the heavily armed captain of Linyang City, asked.
Similarly, Bian Haoge was shocked again!
Before, when Zhu Yuan said that he would stay and clean up the Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts, Bian Haoge didn't think much about it at all.
He thought that what Zhu Yuan said about cleaning up the Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts was to kill the Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts that came closer. He never expected that Zhu Yuan's intention was to really kill all the Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts in the second city wall.
So when Bian Haoge saw this situation, he was also shocked and speechless.
After a long while, Bian Haoge reacted and shouted:
"I'm stunned for what, why don't you hurry over and help."
was shouted by Bian Haoge like this, and everyone reacted and jumped off Linyang City one after another. Of course, there is no need for help, it is just to clean up the battlefield, reap the fruits of victory, and then take over the defense of the second wall.
It wasn't until the warriors from Linyang City defended themselves on the second city wall that Zhu Yuan took back the six sides of the rule black box, and the first city wall appeared in front of everyone.
Not to mention that everyone was surprised again, and there were many remarks. After Zhu Yuan accepted the rule black box, he let out a long breath.
To be honest, it was really tiring to clean up the Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts outside the Heaven and Earth World while opening up the Heaven and Earth World, so Zhu Yuan was ready to go back to Linyang City to have a good rest.
The rest was Bian Haoge's business, and he immediately mobilized all the people, while searching for survivors in the Holy City, and at the same time arranging for people to restore the defenses on the second wall.
After Zhu Yuan rested for a day, he was not idle, and took the three teams of martial artists he brought from the Seventh Holy City to start cleaning up the Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts outside the second city wall.
After the fortifications on the second wall had just been repaired, Zhu Yuan had already cleaned up the Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts in the third city wall, and began to advance towards the fourth city wall.
On the third city wall, watching Zhu Yuan chasing a group of Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts outside the city wall, Bian Haoge was full of emotion.
He couldn't help but think that if he could invite Zhu Yuan earlier, the Flame Sage would not have to die, and the Twelfth Holy City would not be broken.
Now that the Fire Sage is dead and the Twelfth Holy City is broken, even if Zhu Yuan cleans up the Force Beasts and Mutant Beasts in the fourth city wall, he can't take over the defense of the fourth city wall.
Because with their current manpower, it is already stretched to the limit to defend the third wall. Not to mention the wider Fourth Wall.
So when the fortifications on the third city wall were built, Bian Haoge finally found Zhu Yuan.
"Zhu Sheng, thank you very much for your help, without you we would not have been able to recapture the Holy City. But as you know, we have limited manpower, and we can't take over the fourth wall. ”
Of course, Zhu Yuan understood Bian Haoge's dilemma, and Bian Haoge's existing manpower was indeed unable to take over the fourth city wall, so Zhu Yuan thought for a while and said:
"Speaker Bian's consideration is right, it's better to do this, Speaker Bian will arrange some manpower to follow me to search all areas within the city walls, and save those who are still alive."
Bian Haoge heard Zhu Yuan say this, and said with sincere admiration:
"Zhu Shengrenyi, I thank you for all the people in the Twelfth Holy City."
After Zhu Yuan calmly accepted Bian Haoge's thanks, he reminded:
"Speaker Bian, I will leave after the search and rescue, you don't have a saint to protect here, can this holy city be defended?"
