Meng Huan Chilong felt that this military adult, at least a personal witch, could see his own realm, and it should not be a problem, so he said: "Yes, I am already a great wizard." ”

Man Tianye looked at Meng Huan Chilong and said, "You are so young, you command tens of thousands of people to defend Yitian City, it should be amazing." So saying, he walked to the gate.

The others followed him and walked together towards the gates of the Heavenly City.

Meng Huan Chilong said modestly as he walked: "My lord, I just had good luck, so I didn't live up to my expectations." ”

Man Tianye glanced back at him, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he seemed to be smiling, but he didn't speak again.

The group of them quickly walked out of the city gate, but there was no one fighting in front of the city gate, only a piece of corpses, lying on the ground, and occasionally a few screams of the wounded. It's just that the arrows and crossbows pierced the ground, as well as the strong bloody atmosphere, show how fierce the battle once was. In the mountains and forests in the distance, the sound of fighting still sounded from time to time, which meant that the battle was still going on.

Man Tianye looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Someone, give the order to go down, stop the pursuit, collect the team, and clean up the battlefield." ”

Meng Huan Chilong listened to Man Tianye's words, was stunned for a moment, and then shouted. "Why stop the pursuit? We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely exterminate the righteous people in the mountains and forests and recover this land. ”

Man Tianye glanced at him, but did not speak, but turned his head to look at the post-war scenery again.

The red dragon looked a little excited. "My lord, we now have more troops than the people of the Righteous Dynasty, and we can completely destroy them, why don't we pursue them? I don't understand. If they are allowed to flee like this, they will also plague the tribesmen in the mountains and forests, which is a crime against our people, please retract your life and tell the soldiers to continue the pursuit. ”

A soldier behind Man Tianye, hearing Meng Huan Chilong say this, suddenly scolded: "What are you?

Meng Honglong's small eyes glared at the garden, clenched his fists, and said word by word: "I am not a thing, I am a hunter in the mountains and forests, a member of the Wu Clan, and a soldier who guards Yitian City." ”

Man Tianye glanced at the red dragon and said, "You have extraordinary skills in leading people to guard Yitian City at a young age. I won't hide it from you, I received an order from the Witch King, that is, to defend Yitian City, and leave the rest alone. ”

Meng Huan Chilong was stunned, they had been looking forward to reinforcements, and now the reinforcements are coming, but they are not to exterminate the people of the upright dynasty, they just want to defend Yitian City, and this order is still under the witch king, he can't believe it.

"Well, that's what the witch king meant? What about the people in the mountains? That's our people, it's our land, it's our home, so let's just give it up. He stammered a little.

He felt very painful when he said these words, which was a result he did not expect. When the People's Army was first formed, he drew a blueprint for the soldiers, that is, to fight back to the mountains and forests and retake their homeland, but now it has become empty words, and he has become a liar.

The most important thing is that all the soldiers have fought bloodily in the past few days to defend this city, but now it seems that all this is meaningless, including the sacrifice of the Menghuan cottage.

Man Tianye said with certainty: "This is what the Witch King meant, we have to obey the Witch King's instructions." ”

"Why? Why, have we all given up on the people of the mountains and forests? and are we worthy of the soldiers who died in battle? They were desperately trying to hold this city, but they could destroy the righteous people and reclaim our own homeland. Although he was full of anger, he felt that his boiling blood was slowly turning cold.

"I won't hide it from you, we came out this time, it was for a drill, and then we received an order to rush to the Qiyun Mountain Range to participate in the battle, because we encountered the dragon wind, so we rushed here, that is to say, there are battles in other places, the Wu clan soldiers are not enough, we can only defend, not attack, this is the strategy set by the Wu King. ”

After hearing this, Meng Winding Red Dragon, who had no feeling for the Witch King, felt that the Witch King had abandoned this mountain forest, and naturally abandoned them. So his heart became even colder, and he turned to look at Long Qifeng.

"Lord City Guard, what do you say, are the city guards of Yitian City also guarding Yitian City?"

As he spoke, a drum sounded, and the horseman, who was chasing the upright dynasty, stopped, and looked at the tower with some bewilderment. But the drums kept beating, and the soldiers turned around and rode towards the Heavenly City.

Long Qifeng's face turned red, and he said a little hesitantly: "We are all members of the Witch King, so naturally we have to listen to the Witch King's instructions. You are now the captain of the city guard and a member of the Witch King. You ......"

The red dragon interrupted him. "Lord Castle Keeper, please remember your original promise, you are a noble family member, and if you can't speak, you won't be able to speak. I, a mountain citizen, will keep my promise, I officially declare that I will withdraw from the city guard, but the war is not over, I am still the leader of the people's army, I will take my soldiers with me, and fulfill our promise. ”

As he said these words, he felt a grief and indignation in his heart, a deep and unspeakable grief that took over his heart, and a feeling like eating a fly, which made him a little sick.

They worked hard for the Heavenly City, but they didn't get any benefits, and before they could turn around, they let the Witch King sell them. became an outcast of the entire Wu Clan, and their people fended for themselves in the mountains and forests.

But he was not reconciled, his original purpose was to regain the mountains and forests, rebuild his homeland, and restore freedom and happiness. Instead of hiding in Yitian City, watching the clansmen in the mountains and forests, living in dire straits, he can't do it, and he believes that many freedom-loving people can't do it, because the Wu people are not born to be enslaved.

He took a few steps closely, and shouted at the soldiers who were walking in a daze in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, you have thrown your heads and spilled your blood for the sake of Leaning on the Heavenly City, and I thank you, because you are contributing to the Wu Nation. But I just got the news that the Witch King just wants to defend the Heavenly City, give up the land of the heavens, and give up the people who are suffering, I can't accept this result, I don't know if you agree or not. ”

The soldiers, who had been puzzled by the order to stop the pursuit, immediately understood when they heard this, and they exploded at once, and many people let out angry shouts.

"We don't agree!"

"Why give up on us?"

"We fought for the Witch King, why did he abandon us?"

In the midst of the angry shouts, the soldier of the Celestial Dragon Army just now shouted again. "As the captain of the city guard, you actually instigated the soldiers against the witch king. Someone, arrest me, and accept military justice. ”

And the spirit witches who were with them, as well as the soldiers of the city guards, moved and surrounded the red dragon in the middle.

When the soldier was about to shout, Meng Huan Chilong glanced at him coldly, and that glance made him swallow back what he was about to shout, because he felt a ruthless killing intent.

He retracted his gaze and saluted Long Qifeng: "Lord City Guard, you know me, and what I said is absolutely true." I am in Yitian City to help you defend the city, the purpose you know, is to recover the land of the heavens, and let the people of the righteous dynasty disappear in the mountains and forests. It's my dream right now, and I can't help but do it. Therefore, I will take the militia who are willing to participate in the war into the mountains and forests, and I will ask you again, what will your city guards do?"

Long Qifeng looked at Meng Huanchi's firm eyes, his face turned red, his lips moved a few times, and he didn't say anything after all.

He nodded slightly. "I know your choice, there are many people in our mountains and forests in Yitian City, I hope you don't make it difficult for them, especially if someone is willing to enter the mountains and forests to join the people's army, I hope Yitian City can give them permission. ”

Long Qifeng didn't speak, but Teng Xinzun, who had already returned, said: "Leader, don't worry, as long as I am in Yitian City for a day, I will ensure that your clansmen in the city are okay, and I can swear by the honor of the Teng family." ”

Meng Huan Chilong listened, saluted Teng Xinzun, and then walked towards the civilian soldiers who rushed back.

But just now, the soldier of the Dragon Army said beside him: "What nonsense, even if you quit the city guard, you are also the leader of the people's army, and you should follow the instructions of the Witch King." ”

Meng Huan Chilong suddenly turned to the soldier and said, "The soldier should protect his family and defend the country." You can't protect your family now, you can't do anything to defend the country, and you are bullying your own people by foreigners, are you a fart soldier?" he said and swung his fist over, knocking the soldier to the ground.

Man Tianye's eyebrows jumped, he was very familiar with the realm of his subordinates, this soldier was the highest in the magic power of his personal guard, and he had reached the level of a ninth-level great wizard. Even if he was defenseless, he should have carried the boy's punch, but this turned out that although the boy was a great wizard, he had the power of a witch, which made him more curious about the boy.

When the soldier jumped up to settle accounts with Meng Winding Red Dragon, Man Tianye stopped him. The other Tianlong sergeants listened to Meng Huan Chilong's words, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at those city guard soldiers who looked tired but stood in front of Meng Huan Chilong.

Meng Huan Chilong crossed the moat, walked towards his civilian soldiers, and said loudly: "I swear here that I will drive the people of the Duan Dynasty out of the Wu Nationality and return the Wu people to freedom." I will continue to hunt down the people of the Righteous Dynasty in the name of the People's Army, and maybe I will die in battle, but I am fighting for my people, and I am proud of it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted, "Chief, allow me to fight with you." ”

"Yes, count me in. ”

"How can you kill the people of the righteous dynasty without me. I'll go too. ”

The soldiers who had returned stopped when they heard him, and some of them kept shouting that they would fight with the red dragon to the mountains and forests.

Shi Jieguan said with a smile: "I am the chief instructor of the People's Army, and the People's Army can't do without me now." ”

Ma Jingmu also appeared. "I'm the leader's soldier and your follower, and I'm your man in this life, don't pull me down. ”

When Lei Mu was about to say something, Meng Winding Red Dragon stopped him. "Master, the Divine Array Gate and the People's Army need you, and our clansmen also rely on you, please cherish it. I will leave the children, the elderly, the women, and the wounded of the people's army behind, and it will all depend on you. ”

Lei Mu didn't say anything more, he knew what Meng Huan Chilong meant, no matter how he said that Meng Huan Chilong and the people's army, there should be a rear.

The red dragon walked out of the city step by step through the bloodstained dirt, and there were soldiers in the city who followed him, and more soldiers outside the city were waiting for him.

In the early morning sun, he walked through the corpse-strewn battlefield and the blood flowed out, step by step, and there was firmness and persistence in that footsteps, and he wanted to continue his battle.

There was still a strong smell of blood in the air, but a strong will and faith rose up in this land.

Behind the lonely and stoic figure of the red dragon, a figure began to gather, and soon more than 2,000 people gathered.

But these more than 2,000 people are really a little thin for the empty square. But no one dared to underestimate these people, because those who looked at them felt an indomitable spirit, emanating from this group of people, which was a kind of power, and no one could stop it.

Liuka Coriander walked up to him, stretched out her hand, and squeezed the hand that wrapped around the red dragon, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then walked forward side by side.

The soldiers who followed behind were not only the people, but also some of the city guards, all of them silent, covered in wounds, their armor tattered from the battle, but their heads were held high, and their steps were full of power.

Because they are not deserters, but to run to new battlefields, they are true warriors.

The golden sunlight of early spring shined through the cracks in the clouds, shining on their backs, as if coated with a layer of golden light, making them carry a sacred meaning around the red dragon.
