Chapter 109: Emergency Order
"Commanding the army on the front line to defend the enemy, and dying bravely for the sake of his people, shouldn't this be the pursuit of every consul who cares about the city-state?" Luo Wei on the side suddenly spoke, but the irony in his words was extremely explicit, obviously a mockery.
"No kidding!!" The Marquis of Charles suddenly lost control of his emotions, his round eyes were full of bloodshots, and the entangled fat on his face looked extremely hideous, and he said angrily, "As far as you low-level pariahs of the Republic's Radiance, what qualifications do you have to let me die?!" I'm a marquis! The Federal Marquis of Dawn! ”
"Then I'll see how long you, the marquis, can live." Luo Wei's eyes became a little gloomy, and he smiled sarcastically, "Even if you give up here and prepare a car to escape, where do you want to escape?" ”
As soon as the Marquis Charles's mouth opened, the whole person froze, and his soul was unbearable, yes, even if he prepared a car, where could he go? Go back to the Marquis' Palace? The wall of life has already stepped on a corner, and there is a gap in this impermeable defense line, if it can't be blocked here, once the monster invades, the entire Dawn City will become a dead city, and it will be the same wherever you hide.
It's even more ridiculous to drive to other cities, not to mention that a large number of monsters are attacking Dawn City, it is impossible to break through the encirclement of monsters, even if you can rush out, the nearest city is also six or seven hundred kilometers away from Dawn City, and now it is a cold night, and there are all kinds of mutated creatures traveling at night along the way, and ten lives are not enough to die!
In this way, if you want to live, there is only one way, and that is to hold on to the gap in the wall of life and keep the monster outside! But it's not just lip service.
Due to the myth of the Wall of Life, there are no heavy mechanized troops in a city like Dawn City, because all defenses rely on the defense system of the Wall of Life, and heavy troops such as tanks have no room to play, so at most there are some lightly armed personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles in the city.
And once it is necessary to start a positional defense battle near the gap in the wall of life, the absence of heavy troops means that the soldiers can only rely on the soldiers to repair the fortifications to build the position, and they still have to repair it under the minions of the monsters! What's the difference between that and sending them to death?!
Don't... Is Dawn about to fall? Just disappearing from the wilderness without warning?!
The terrible omen of Nidhogg had awakened the whole of Dawn, and the news of the fall of the Wall of Life spread through the city like the Black Death plague of the Middle Ages, and the people broke down and ran out of their homes, dragging their families and scurrying through the streets like headless flies.
Since most of the defenders were on the Wall of Life, there were very few troops in the city to maintain order, and the defenders themselves did not know where to guide the people to retreat, because no one had thought that the Wall of Life would collapse, and they did not even have the slightest idea, so there was no emergency plan for this.
The chaotic crowd soon turned into a bloody stampede, a person fell and was trampled into brain-splattered flesh by the panicked crowd, and the fallen corpses further tripped more people, and these tripped people were trampled to death by the panicked people behind, and the scene was completely out of control for a while, and it didn't take long for every street and every alley to be blocked by the panicked crowd, and many civilians who were eager to flee for their lives even scuffled in order to squeeze out a way to live.
Such a scene made the defenders on the city wall red-eyed, but the problem is that the Marquis of Charles has lost his soul so far and has not given a clear order, whether to stick to it or divide the troops to guide the people? Give a simple command all good! But this marquis, who only knew how to eat, drink and enjoy himself, was now frightened and lost his soul, and stood there like a thoughtless pig, unable to even give orders.
The incompetence of the Marquis of Charles directly caused the defenders to be unable to effectively stop the approach of the monsters, and could not alleviate the stampede of the people, and the situation kept deteriorating.
"Where's the herald?" Suddenly, a deep voice rang out.
A young warrior was slightly stunned, and soon ran up to the young man in the cloak, saluted the standard military salute and said, "Report!" Over here! ”
Luo Wei's red eyes stared at the mutated creatures that were approaching in the distance, and said, "Let the various ministries leave the manpower to maintain the defense system of the Wall of Life, and the rest of the people will collect all available vehicles, whether military or civilian, and drive them all to block the gap in the Wall of Life, and build fortifications based on this." ”
This herald was supposed to be a new recruit, and he didn't have too much professionalism to be able to do it without questioning orders like a veteran, but asked his own question worriedly: "But... If all the people are on the defensive, what will happen to the people in the city? And now the streets are so chaotic that it may be difficult for vehicles to move. ”
"Dead a bunch or all dead, which do you choose?" Luo Wei said coldly, "If someone blocks the car on the street, it will run over, one person will run over if it is in the way, and ten people will run over ten!" Get the car over at all costs! ”
At this moment, the herald understood what Luo Wei meant, now there is a gap in the wall of life, and all the defenders may not be able to block the gap together, if the troops are divided to maintain order, Dawn City will inevitably be wiped out, and if the troops are concentrated to defend it, there is still a glimmer of life.
As for those panicked people, they can only resign themselves to fate, and if they survive, they are lucky, and being trampled to death can only be said to be inevitable.
Although the herald was pale, he still saluted Luo Wei firmly, although he didn't know if such a decision could lead Dawn City to escape the fate of total destruction, but at least he should be thanked for provoking the beam at this critical juncture and making a decision for the defenders.
Under the order of the herald, the defenders, who were as confused as if they had lost their souls, came to their senses again, and acted quickly according to Luo Wei's instructions, and the defense system of the Wall of Life also worked again, and all kinds of light and heavy artillery began to try to weaken the impact of the monsters and buy time for other warriors to repair the fortifications.
"You—" Marquis Charles's face became as ugly as a pig's liver at this time, and his fat finger pointed at Luo Wei, and said angrily, "I am the Marquis of Dawn City!" The defenders here are all my soldiers! What qualifications do you have to give orders! ”
"By the way, don't forget to visit the Marquis's Mansion and other nobles' homes when collecting vehicles, there must be a lot of high-quality cars that can be used to plug the gap." Luo Wei added another sentence to the young herald, looking at Marquis Charles's almost bleeding face, he sneered, "I believe that the 'great' federal nobles must not mind making some contribution to Dawn City. ”
Seeing that the young herald was passing orders for Luo Wei again, and he looked obedient, Marquis Charles's anger finally broke out, and he angrily pointed at the herald and shouted: "Dare not listen to my orders!" Now, I sentence you to death for traitor! ”
