Chapter 25 Outside the city
Outside the Divine Capital.
The horse that was leading the cart could not bear the pressure anymore, neighed, raised its front hooves, and fell to the ground after a few kicks.
As soon as the horse fell, the carriage attached to it fell to the ground. The carriage encountered several heavy blows from the locust demon, and the wheels on both sides were also a little unstable, and began to shake left and right.
Almost all the pockets in the back of the carriage were overturned to the ground, and the Jade Buddha was scattered all over the ground.
Airplanes!
The seeping buzz behind him had begun to approach, Tang Yun didn't dare to hesitate, and the moment the horse fell, the whole person pounced, rolled on the ground a few times, and pulled out the tiger head knife on his waist at the same time.
Some locust demons target the Jade Buddha, and some locust demons obviously prefer the fresh flesh and blood in front of them.
The locusts, which were once fragile, now seem to be very large, but they are also extremely powerful. The slender locust leg hit Tang Yun's knife, and Tang Yun only felt that there seemed to be a shock force coming from the blade, shaking his tiger head a little numb, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
This locust demon's eyes were full of bloodlust, and when he saw Tang Yun retreating, he roared and rushed forward, pressing forward step by step.
Tang Yun fought and left, and now the situation is also very passive.
Fortunately, most of the locust demons were attracted by the jade Buddhas scattered on the ground, so Tang Yun was able to get out.
The buzzing sound exploded in my ears, and there was a small town in front of me, and some soldiers stationed here had noticed something strange here and were rapidly gathering.
"There's someone there!" Someone shouted.
Tang Yun slashed at the leg of a locust demon, this locust demon opened a pair of seeping compound eyes, let out a piercing scream, and clamped Tang Yun's collar with its mouthparts, trying to pull him.
At the last moment, Tang Yun grabbed the locust demon's two twitching tentacles with one hand, changed the direction of the knife in his hand, and stabbed the locust demon's forehead fiercely from the elbow of his hand.
The blade of the knife turned back and forth a few times, and he felt the locust demon behind him gradually fall weakly and stop beating.
Tang Yun didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, he jumped off the locust demon and ran in the direction of the troops stationed in the distance.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"
Tang Yun shouted as he ran.
Because it is a small town near the Shendu, it is actually a military town, and the soldiers stationed here are veterans who have fought for many years. Seeing the formation behind Tang Yun at this moment, he couldn't imagine what was happening.
The lieutenant gave the order decisively, and then a rain of arrows flew into the air.
They used the strongest bows of the army, which required two strong bowstrings to be tethered, and the arrows released were not only powerful, but also should not be deviated from the direction.
Whoosh!
As a sound pierced through the air, countless locust demons fell to the ground like moths to the fire.
The remaining locust demons seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, and they let out strange and strange cries and began to devour the dead corpses of their companions.
The lieutenant's face was pale, and the expressions of the soldiers below were not very good. They may have been fighting for years, but most of the people they face are people, and even the most vicious people are familiar things. But if it's against such a monster, it's a little scary.
Tang Yun took out his waist card and said, "Tang Yun, the official of the Demon Hunting Division, is now taking over this place." Don't let a monster escape your sight. At the same time, send an order for nearby troops to come and reinforce them! ”
Du Wei checked the waist card, and said with a pale face: "My lord, this is the monster that Shendu City originally encountered?" ”
Tang Yun glanced at him: "What, haven't you seen it?" ”
The lieutenant shook his head: "Xiao only leads troops to guard the town on weekdays, and rarely has time to go to the Shendu to have a look. I've just heard others talk about monsters, but this is the first time I've seen them. ”
Tang Yun patted Du Wei on the shoulder: "Now half of the locust demons that have invaded the Divine Capital City are here, if you can control them, it will be a great achievement, and this official will give you credit in front of Your Majesty." ”
Du Wei couldn't help himself with excitement, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Don't worry, adults, the small ones will definitely hold on to them and not let a monster leave here." ”
The wolf smoke of the annexation had risen into the air, and the lieutenant commanded all the men to come out of the military town, and set up a bow to block the attack of the locust demon.
The captain's face was originally red, but after a while, he also frowned.
Almost all the troops in the town were dispatched, but in the face of such an overwhelming attack by the locust demon, it still seemed a little weak. The soldiers retreated and retreated, leaving behind a corpse and returning to the town's fortress.
Outside the house, there was the cacophony of locust legs scratching against the walls.
Tang Yun's heart became heavier and heavier, and now although he had lured the locust demon away from the direction of the divine capital, it was indeed difficult to deal with such a large number of demons.
When locusts are small, they will swarm into the rice fields and sweep through the remnant clouds.
Today, man has become a straw in the eyes of locusts.
"My lord, the casualties are too heavy." Du Lieutenant's voice was a little hoarse, although the rain of arrows had an overwhelming advantage at first, but then the locust demon gradually approached, and they were indeed unable to fight back. As soon as they came into contact, many people died.
Tang Yun clenched his fists.
There is no other way but to add human life!
"Ten sergeants, come with me to kill them and lure those monsters away!" Tang Yun said.
In the entire fortress, there were only eleven fast horses.
Ten soldiers were quickly chosen, and behind the fortress was the town, and if the lives of the townspeople were to be saved, someone had to make sacrifices.
Du Wei said: "My lord, there is no need for you to be in danger. This kind of thing, let the small one do it for you. ”
Tang Yun tugged at the reins and said, "You stay here and command the rest of the army." ”
Tang Yun's attitude was very tough, and he didn't let the lieutenant follow, only took ten soldiers and rushed out of the gate.
A rain of arrows was released from the fortress as cover, and the buzzing sound was all in their ears, and the locust demons spotted their fast-moving targets and roared and rushed down.
Eleven killed three in an instant, and the rest almost waved their whips with a loud sound and rushed in the direction of the woods in the distance.
Once there, there is a dense forest, which acts as a natural barrier to keep all the locusts out.
When Tang Yun's horse rushed into the woods, the corners of the horse's mouth were already foaming at the mouth, and it fell to the ground motionless and unconscious.
There were still two soldiers left beside Tang Yun, who were also scarred. Even Tang Yun's back had a deep scratch.
There was a buzz outside the woods, and there was a faint sound of locusts fluttering leaves as they tried to rush in.
Most of the trees in this vicinity are pine, and the leaves are sharp and sharp, and the locust demons dare not break in, so they have to wander outside.
Tang Yun and the sergeant were walking in this mountain, and there was a black smoke drifting into the sky in the distance, which was very obvious.
Tang Yun's eyes suddenly widened.
That's wolf smoke.
This wolf smoke wafted from the direction of the divine capital.
