Chapter 22: The Island of Terror (3)
The city lord's quick response and timely use of measures allowed the situation to be brought under control a little, and the civilians who were so frightened that they collapsed realized that there was no point in making any more trouble. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, a large number of civilians began to join the security department, and in just two hours, the security department already had more than 300 people, and the number was still rising.
With the tense atmosphere, all the personnel of the security department, led by the minister, came to the city tower, each armed with a large knife, and some with spears.
Nervousness and panic were written on everyone's faces, and the big war was about to break out.
At this time, those mobs were less than five kilometers away from Moonheart City, and they all rushed over like crazy, and from such a distance, the people in the security department felt a huge pressure.
"Minister, we have too few people, there are thousands of people in those mobs, but we ......"
"No matter how little you have, you must hold on, and you must not let those mobs take Moonheart City." The minister looked into the distance with a serious expression and said, "Otherwise...... On Moon Island, there will be no more normal people. ”
No one knew why the residents who had been peaceful and duty had suddenly become so violent, and the people sent by the Yuecheng Mansion to communicate were killed before they had a chance to speak.
Currently, the number of mobs accounts for nearly one-third of the population of Mooncenter Island.
Among the rest of the people, excluding the elderly, women, and children, there were only about a thousand people who could participate in the battle, and many of them were already frightened, and a large part of the reason for being able to recruit these more than 300 people was because of the heavy money.
100,000 monthly coins are basically enough for an ordinary resident on Yuexin Island for a lifetime, and the Yuecheng Mansion can't give so many people so much money, and in the end, many rich people and civilians in the city pay for it.
Those rich people know very well that once Yuexin City can't hold it, no matter how rich they are, it's useless.
The Minister of Security is ready to die together, and there is basically no chance of victory against a mob many times his size against these trembling, bloodless civilians.
Qin Yue is also standing on the city tower at this moment, with a solemn expression, don't look at his usual giggling, he will never drop the chain at a critical moment, if you want to say that he has the courage, he definitely has it.
Kang Ning, Li Jie and others are all there, but their faces are not very good-looking, not only them, everyone has a frightened look.
For a long time, the residents of Yuexin Island have lived and worked in peace and contentment, no one has ever seen this kind of scene, many people have already forced their composure, and when they really fight, they are estimated to be so frightened that they will turn around and run.
It's a pity that there are no thermal weapons, otherwise, even with only a heavy machine gun, you can easily hold the city.
"City Lord, the Minister of Security has led all the temporarily recruited police officers to defend against the mob, but all the funds we have stored for many years have been emptied, and we have borrowed tens of millions of monthly coins from several rich people." The Minister of Economy was sweating profusely and said with a nervous expression.
"Hmm." The city lord nodded, "We can't help it, it's helpless, I hope they can live up to expectations." ”
"But...... There are too many mobs, and the quality of those temporary police officers is relatively poor, and none of the three may be able to beat a mob, which ......"
The city lord looked out of the window with a gloomy face, as if he was a little sad.
"If it really gets out of hand...... Let the civilians of the city break through to Yuenong City. ”
"What? Could it be ......" The Minister of Economy suddenly looked at the city lord in surprise.
The city lord sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, someone has just returned from Yuenong City, it is said that no special circumstances have happened there, in a hurry, this can only be used as the last way, no matter what, we can't sit still." ”
"Alas......" the Minister of Economy could only let out a helpless lament.
Hopefully, it won't get to that.
If the situation is really that bad, then Yuexin City is basically over, and even the main city can't be defended, and a city as small as Yuenong City will fall sooner or later.
The Minister of Security stood on the tower without saying a word, he was surrounded by the elite of the Ministry of Guards, and the other civilians were in the city for the time being, if they couldn't stop them, these civilians basically had no way to live.
Therefore, you must defend the city of the heart of the moon!
Soon, there was a black oppression in front of him, and an army of mobs that reached the sky appeared.
Many people suddenly shook their bodies, and the people who lived here were used to being comfortable, where had they ever seen such a big scene.
Even the Minister of Guards' face changed, and then he forced himself to calm down.
"Everyone, it's good, those people are no longer our relatives and friends, but the mob who want to destroy Mooncore Island, everyone must hold their ground and kill this group of mobs, the city lord has given the order, you can kill them all without taking any responsibility."
That being said, but who has really killed someone, before the fight has begun, many people begin to tremble, the mob army is getting closer and closer, and some people are even trying to retreat.
"Close the gates!" The Minister of Guards shouted!
The gates of Moonheart City were then closed.
"Send people to hold back the gate, and don't let those mobs break open!"
Dozens of able-bodied civilians immediately held the gates with various tools.
The mob army was less than half a kilometer away, and the head of the guard was full of coldness, holding a long sword in his hand and calmly commanding.
The mob army had already rushed to a position of three hundred meters, and when they saw the civilians on the city tower, they all let out a terrible roar and rushed over at an accelerated speed.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters!
"Shoot the arrows!" The Minister of Security roared, and the long sword in his hand stabbed forward!
Hundreds of civilians drew their bows and arrows, and with a whoosh, a rain of arrows swept through the air.
The dozens of mobs running at the front were shot like hedgehogs on the spot and then fell, but the mob behind continued to rush towards them, not knowing what death was.
"Put it again!"
It's a rain of arrows again......
The head of the guard's eyes was full of cold light, and the long sword in his hand kept waving, giving orders one after another.
At this moment, the civilians who were nervously waiting in the city were all extremely nervous.
Once the city gate is lost, they will only be forced to break through to Yuenong City, but this plan is basically similar to nothing, once the mob rushes into the city, where is it possible for them to break out.
Many people ran to the gate of the Moon God Palace to bow down, praying that the god would come forward to stop this catastrophe, and the bitter pleading of thousands of people was enough to shake the heavens and the earth, but the god still did not appear.
If the god does not come forward, there is really no chance of winning by relying on manpower to resist.
Thankfully, the mob wouldn't use weapons, otherwise it would have been a desperate situation.
But even so, the situation is still not optimistic, because the mob army has fallen into madness, and there is no tactic, all of them rush to the city gate like crazy, so the guard department can also concentrate all its forces to resist.
After the bow and arrow are shot out, they can only engage in hand-to-hand combat, from which we can see the combat quality of these civilians, thousands of arrows shot out, only one or two hundred mobs were killed, a drop in the bucket, and there were still thousands of mobs rushing madly over.
"Swear to protect Moon Heart City! Everybody give it to me! ”
Although the mob had no mind, they still used their instinct to carry out the tactics of human ladder, stepping on one by one, and frantically climbing up the city tower, and the personnel of the guard department immediately resisted with rolling stones and spears, and the battle entered a white-hot stage.
The Minister of Guard has always commanded calmly, which is enough to show his ability, and under his calm command, those civilians who were originally afraid of death also began to muster up the courage to fight.
In the defense of spear assassination and rolling stones, hundreds of mobs fell under the tower, and the scene was extremely bloody, and many civilians felt that their stomachs were turning over and over, and they endured and continued to fight.
However, this resistance did not have much effect after all, and after the rolling stones were smashed, it was basically hand-to-hand combat.
How could a group of civilians who usually only have fun beat the mob that fell into madness, not to mention the difference in the number of people on both sides was several times, and soon, many mobs climbed the tower, and the civilians could only raise their knives to fight.
For a time, the screams were endless, the blood was soaring, and there were corpses, blood, and screaming civilians everywhere.
In the Moon City Mansion, the city lord was so anxious that his hair turned a lot whiter.
Except for the Minister of Guards, who was fighting, the other ministers had arrived, and everyone understood that it was only a matter of time before Moonheart City fell.
"I heard that at the city gate, the mob has climbed the tower, and the guard department is fighting hand-to-hand, it seems that they can't hold out for long."
"What about the reserves? Hurry up and call the reserves to help! ”
"City Lord, there are not many people in the reserve team at all, those civilians have long been frightened, up to now, the reserve team is less than thirty people, and if they are sent to death."
The ministers all shook their heads and sighed.
The lord of the city is also helpless.
After a long time of comfort, who would have thought that such a thing would happen, there was no preparation in advance.
It would be nice if the god was willing to come forward, but in the current situation, it would be useless for that woman to come out.
It's just that what the city lord can't understand is that if the Moon Heart City falls, then the Moon God Palace can't escape, why does the god lord still choose to ignore it?
Could it be ......
The city lord faintly thought of a terrifying guess.
Could it be that something happened to the Divine Lord?
But how is this possible? The god lord has supreme divine power, one person is enough to overturn the entire city, where can he be easily killed.
But if something didn't happen to her, why she hadn't seen anyone until now, it really doesn't make sense.
These ministers in front of them are almost useless, to put it bluntly, they are all big and have small skills, and they are not as useful as civilians fighting on the city gates.
"You! You! And you! The lord of the castle angrily pointed at the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Development, and the Minister of Economy, and said, "Give me the reserves to support the city gates, now, immediately!" ”
"What?"
The three ministers who were named were taken aback.
Isn't this going to die?
They sit in Yuecheng Mansion every day, they don't do anything, their physique is very poor, and if they have this ability to fight, they will send people to their heads.
"Castle Lord...... We ......"
"Why didn't you hear what I said? This is an order, remember, give me to defend the gates, if you can't defend it, you will die honorably, and I will take care of your families. ”
"This, this, this...... City Lord, I really can't do it, I can't even beat a child with this physique, where can I do that life-damaging thing, you spare me, please! The most timid and fearful Minister of Economy pleaded with a handful of snot and tears.
"Shut up!" The city lord slapped the table angrily, "I usually act as a prestige one by one, but now when I am in trouble, I will be a turtle with a shrunken head?" Give me a quick go! ”
There is no way, the words of the city lord are an iron order, if you dare to disobey the order, even the minister will be executed.
The three ministers who were named could only walk out of the Yuecheng Mansion step by step.
The city lord collapsed weakly on the sofa, looked at the ministers standing there at a loss, waved his hand, and said:
"You guys go down first, and then go to the civilians to recruit a group of reserves, no matter what, you must defend Moonheart City."
"Yes......" The ministers walked out with embarrassed faces.
At this moment, the battle on the city tower is becoming more and more intense, the guard department is almost unable to hold on, although there is a terrain advantage, but it can not withstand the successive onslaught of the mob, no matter how many kills and retreats, the mob army behind is endless, and the battle situation is gradually one-sided.
More than half of the civilian casualties were lost, and the rest were largely unable to hold out.
The Minister of Guard, holding a telephone in a room in the tower, shouted:
"City Lord! We are almost unable to hold on, the casualties of the guard department are extremely large, the ratio of the enemy and us is more than 1 to 10, backup, we need backup! ”
The city lord rubbed his temples weakly and sighed:
"I'll send the reserves up as soon as possible, and I hope you hold on a little longer."
After hanging up the phone, the lord stood up and straightened his clothes.
He knew in his heart that it was time to leave Moonheart City, the small city where he had lived for many years.
He had already prepared for the second hand in advance, and he was always accompanied by more than twenty strong men, all of whom were martial arts masters and bodyguards secretly trained by the city lord.
Although the law and order in Yuexin City has always been very good, it is only a superficial phenomenon, and the political war in Yuecheng Mansion has always been very fierce, but outsiders can't see that as the city lord, he still has to protect his own safety.
I didn't expect this to happen today, just in time to put these bodyguards in handy.
The lord of the city made one last call.
"Transferring all the reserves to the city gate to defend, it is impossible to hold it for a moment...... Just abandon the city and break out. ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and finally answered.
"Let's go, let's leave Yuexin City and go to Yuenong City."
Yuenong City is the last city, the population there is very small, but there are only a few hundred people, and the city defense is also very weak, even Yuexin City can't hold it, and Yuenong City has no hope at all.
But the city lord has also exhausted his donkey skills, he has already done what he should do, if Moon Island is really doomed, then there is no way for him to change.
Under the cover of the bodyguards, the city lord hurriedly changed his outfit and left through the back gate of Moon Heart City.
At the gate, all the civilians who were still alive were red-eyed, and the Minister of Security had expected this situation in advance, so he wrapped a red cloth around everyone's hands to prevent accidental injury.
Qin Yue is also completely crazy, although he is funny, but he has an extreme sense of justice, he will never sit back and watch this group of madmen destroy his hometown, rushing into the crowd with a big knife is to slash left and right, only recognize the red cloth and do not recognize people, for a while, arms, thighs, and even human heads, can be seen everywhere, blood stains the city wall, and civilians fighting bloodily under the city wall, this scene is like a living hell......
