Chapter 17: Saving Lives
Yang Chong was the last to return to the inner city, when the city gate was closed, it was still a stone to seal the city gate, Yang Chong stood on the city wall, looking at the civilians who were still alive crowded below, and his heart was a little heavy.
If the combat effectiveness on paper is put into real war, we will find that the gap between reality and theory is really too great.
Civilians usually receive ordinary training, but after the fight, except for those who have the guts, even the stronger ones are swept away by the momentum of the ghost pawns and lose their sense of battle. And those who have courage do not necessarily have strength, and if these people are in the militia, they are not trained more rigorously, and they are brave enough and inexperienced when facing ghosts.
As for those who are talented, what level they have reached in a specific strength, most of them are four or five turns, some are pampered and naturally talented, and some are purely talented but have a much worse actual combat level.
After a bloody battle, the people who can still stand on the city wall today have been selected, and they are all people who have passed the test in actual combat. It's just that if you want to use this kind of war to pick the right people, it's too cruel.
After those ghost pawns captured the outer city, they began to capture the rest of the people in it, after the outbreak just now, Yang Chong saw his own strength and saw how much he needed to consume to exert his strength, after a war, no wonder the heroes who could decide these were not the whole city, but appeared at the most critical time, all because of the full force, such as energy, spirit, will, physical strength, etc., the consumption of many things such as energy, spirit, will, physical strength, etc., Yang Chong was powerless even if he wanted to go out to rescue.
The ghost pawns were dozens or hundreds, and Yang Chong could vaguely guess from their weapons that they were probably militiamen, and the different parts of these ghost pawns were doing their own things. It's just that these ghost pawns seem to be organized, but they don't seem to be organized, because when the ghost pawns attack the city, in addition to the ones gathered before, some of the ghost pawns in the later part seem to have come to attack directly, and if they attack together, I am afraid that the city will be lost long ago.
While Yang Chong was thinking about the problem, Xiao Xiong and several other leaders of the Jinyi Guards on the city wall or the only remaining strong people came here.
Yang Chong glanced at it and asked, "What about Luculent?" ”
Xiao Xiong also looked at Li Ru, who should have been with Luculent: "Why didn't Xiao Yan come?" ”
The two bigwigs spoke, and the others all looked at Li Ru suspiciously, and they found that when they asked this, Li Ru's face was a little sad: "They didn't come back together at all." ”
"What did you say!" Xiao Xiong's will pressed on him, Li Ru was forced to take a step back, lowered his head and said again: "Humble and incompetent, I couldn't bring them back!" ”
"Make it clear." Yang Chong's already not very good face was even more gloomy at this time. If the people of this world die, they will die, and Yang Chong is not familiar with their personalities, and there is nothing to say.
But who is Luculent, he is the landing captain of the fleet on a small planet, and he is also the person who has been a space pirate in the universe for so many years. Yang Chong would not be surprised if the hundred households on this planet died, but how could Luculent fight to the death. Before leaving, he had already told these people that it was important to save his life, and if there was an emergency, he would take care of himself first.
The atmosphere on the field was very solemn, not only Xiao Xiong, but also Yang Chong and the other two brothers around him had already surrounded him. Not only Luculent, but also the six brothers taken away by Luculent did not come back.
Oppressed by the momentum of so many people, Li Ru's body trembled uncontrollably, and he explained in a low voice: "When we were defending the city, we were attacked by the ghost pawns, and we responded to the battle at the first time, but we were defeated by the ghost pawns. Just when we couldn't hold on, the signal to retreat came, and we immediately began to retreat. ”
"But those ghost pawns are too strong, they actually chased after us, many people were caught up, Luculent and the others were one step slower in order to save people, as a result, they were surrounded by ghost pawns, we were not able to face so many ghost pawns, and Luculent also let us go first. He's a hero! ”
"Where's Xiao Yan!" Xiao Xiong asked, expressionless.
"Someone shouted for help on the road, but we couldn't take care of ourselves, how could we have this kung fu, but when we fled, I didn't expect Miss Xiao to go to the rescue ......" Speaking of this, Li Ru didn't say any more.
Many people were silent when they heard these words, they all came from the situation at that time, and the brothers around them fell one by one like autumn crops, and now there is not even a fifth left that can come back. And Miss Xiao Yan's personality is indeed like that.
But Yang Chong squinted at Li Ru's face and nodded: "I hope so!" ”
From the other party's will just now, Yang Chong felt the fluctuation. Although he couldn't be sure, Yang Chong instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this Li Ru. After spreading the news to Wang Guang and Wenyun, Yang Chong flew away.
People were surprised to see Yang Chong rushing along the road to the north by stepping on the somersault cloud, and Xiao Xiong was also transmitted, he resisted the idea of wanting to follow, and said loudly: "Before the envoy comes back, stay here and wait." ”
Nowadays, in addition to Yang Chong, the most prestigious person is Xiao Xiong, and people dare not obey. But Li Ru's heart trembled, he didn't expect Yang Chong to turn around and go to find the dead man without questioning or doing anything.
Feng Yuan, who was on the side, noticed the slight change in Li Ru's face, and began to have doubts in his heart.
……
The somersault cloud under his feet itself was a mass of material that could accelerate, but Yang Chong still thought that his speed was slow, and felt that his sense was not enough, so he simply put on the entire set of armed "Wandering Stars" that had been modified by the space-time center demon on his body.
Behind him, the cloak "Cloud Wing" that can accelerate during flight is opened, the reconnaissance device "Clairvoyance" on the helmet is opened, and the Na Baichuan on his left arm continues to input energy into it, Yang Chong is like a huge scanner, and he has seen all the scenes that can be seen below little by little.
But wherever there was a smell of blood, Yang Chong browsed it all, there were dead civilians everywhere, and there were ghosts hunting and killing humans everywhere. But these ghosts are not caught for the purpose of cannibalism, they are simply killing living humans and then looking for the next target.
Just as Yang Chong was about to fly over, he felt a familiar energy around him that was about to dissipate.
These are the special energies used by the people of their planet. When Yang Chong came here, he saw the captain of a five-turn crew member who had been stabbed behind him lying here, and the next few knives were fatal scars that were later patched.
Yang Chong's face became gloomy, he thought that Li Ru might be cowardly and fled, but he didn't expect that the other party was not only not cowardly, but he was so bold as to deceive himself so much!
……
On the northern city wall, there are still people fighting here.
Wave after wave of the ghost pawns charged towards the city walls, they only wanted to enter the city and kill people. But after many of the goblins entered, there were others who stayed here and wanted to kill the people here and leave.
It's just that these ghosts have a good idea, but they don't have the ability.
One after another energy burst out in the air, the cold light of the sword scattered wantonly in the air, and the movements of the ghost pawns were fast and powerful, but they couldn't attack people, and no matter how beautiful the attack was, it was all empty talk.
The magnificent city wall is more than ten meters wide, and at this time, a figure seems to be a flying swallow, flexibly shuttling among these ghost pawns. The sword light flashed again, and the incision on the arm joint of the outstretched ghost pawn deepened again, and this time the wrist was directly cut off.
But the ghost pawn next to him wanted to attack in the direction where the figure flashed, but found that it was split. The man who was supposed to fly over quickly actually stopped before his attack, and not only was he not hit, but attacked him in turn.
Another ghost pawn fell, and Xiao Yanfei, who paused, jumped back, avoiding the combined attack of the ghost pawns, without a trace of target in his eyes, and all his movements were done according to instinct.
Seeing that he had defeated so many ghost pawns, Xiao Yan was very tired. Not only the body, but also the mind is tired.
The brocade guards and militiamen were well spoken when they were appointed, but not long after the battle began, they all slipped away. But under the brutal battle, the ugliness of these people brought her not ridiculous laughs, but really ugly realities.
Under the threat of death, these people decisively abandoned the order and chose to leave.
The ordinary Jinyi guards and militiamen said that they were following Li Ru's orders, and Li Ru said that they were thinking about everyone. Luculent, who had been assigned by the inspector, had no prestige at all. Xiao Yan felt very annoyed at the time, and in a fit of anger, after everyone left, he was the only one who stayed.
But with the signal of retreat released soon after, Xiao Yan didn't want to go back after stopping from the battle for no reason. She hated those who had disobeyed orders and left, she hated these ghosts, and she hated herself.
Thinking that he could not be controlled by the family, he came to this outpost city, but he was still helped by Uncle Xiao Xiong at home. Although she has been training hard, those people only see her identity, and these can't be changed no matter what.
I went back, but it was just a vase again.
Gradually, because the strength in his body was much weaker, and the consumption of physical strength had reached the limit, Xiao Yan did not continue to fight, and opened his arms to these ghost pawns, Xiao Yan said to himself: "Just be treated as a fool, just die here......"
Xiao Yan seemed to have seen in her heart how the ghost pawn who rushed towards her just now killed her. At this last moment, Xiao Yan thought of his father and mother who loved him the most, the familiar people in the family, the people in the Jinyi Guard after coming here, and Uncle Xiao Xiong, who always kept a straight face and didn't know what to do...... When she thought of Yang Chong's face, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, before she died, she still couldn't refute him.
But she thought for a while before realizing that she wasn't dead yet?
When he opened his eyes, the invisible sword qi in the air was like a torrential rain, not only exterminating all those ghost pawns, but also destroying this city wall.
Yang Chong in the air saw that there were still people alive and said, "Do you also believe that I can save you before you are attacked?" ”
