Chapter Twenty-Three: Fall, Desperate Situation
At this moment, there were still thousands of civilians kneeling at the gate of the Moon God Palace and praying to the Divine Lord to save them, and they didn't understand why the Divine Lord, who had always been kind-hearted, was so cold-blooded today. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Minister, we can't stand it, these madmen have rushed to the city tower, and if we continue to fight, we will all die here."
At present, there are less than 100 people left in the guard, and more than half of them are wounded, the regular police are almost completely wiped out, and the deputy minister and several captains have also died in the fighting with the mob.
Qin Yue has been promoted to vice minister, but this position has no meaning.
At the moment, the Ministry of Security is still struggling to support itself, and the mob army has no idea what fear is, and it rushes up in waves, with corpses and blood everywhere.
"Order a retreat, Minister, we're all going to die here if we continue like this." Several of the older men pleaded.
The Minister of Security was almost desperate, and he devoted all his strength to the construction of Mooncore Island.
I didn't expect ......
Today, it is ruined at the hands of his own people.
How could he be willing?
Even the most enthusiastic Qin Yue no longer insisted, and the sound of fighting outside never stopped, although there were weapons in his hands, but the mob was attacking too fiercely and there were many people.
The fall of Moonheart City is a matter of time.
Qin Yue was worried not only about the thousands of civilians in Yuexin City, but also about Guchengnan on Purple Moon Island, Zhou Xuanxuan and others.
If they came back to find that Moonheart City had become like this, they would be shocked.
Wrong......
Qin Yue suddenly thought that Gu Chengnan and the others were all divine envoys, even if the divine lord was unwilling to come forward, as long as they came back, they would definitely be able to clean up this group of mobs.
Qin Yue excitedly immediately told the Minister of Security about this idea, and the latter's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Then it dimmed again:
"It's a good idea, but ...... It's going to take three more days for them to come back, how can we hold out for so long?"
Qin Yue was also dumbfounded suddenly, he forgot about this.
"We don't have to wait for them to come back, as long as we go to Purple Moon Island to find them!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Qin Yue could even think of this method, and the Minister of Security was also extremely surprised for a while.
This is indeed the best way, find Gu Chengnan and the others, and use their divine power, they will definitely be able to save Yuexin City, not to mention that Nalan Ruobing is also there, she alone is enough to save everyone.
But......
The only problem is that everyone is full of uneasiness and panic about the mysterious and strange Purple Moon Island, originally the Moon God Palace asked to enter the Purple Moon Island on the condition of becoming a divine envoy, but many people were unwilling, but now they want to take the initiative to enter the Purple Moon Island, how ironic it is.
The Minister of Security also had difficulty making a decision for a while.
"Minister, if this continues, the entire Moon Heart City will be finished, and we can only go to Purple Moon Island to have a chance of survival." Qin Yue shouted excitedly, "If this continues, the thousands of civilians in Moon Heart City will really be finished." ”
The Minister of Guards frowned, not knowing what to do.
"Minister!"
"Minister, I think it's better to give it a try, it's more or less a way, you can't just sit still."
"Yes, let's give it a try, it's a death horizontally and vertically, let's fight."
Everyone else agreed, and the Minister of Security couldn't insist anymore, so he could only nod.
"Okay, wait until I report this suggestion to the Yuecheng Mansion and let the city lord decide."
The Minister of Security immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Yuecheng Mansion.
Qin Yue waited nervously, and the others were also holding their breath.
After a long while, the head of the guard hung up the phone with a solemn expression.
"Strange, why doesn't anyone answer the phone? It's hard to ......"
"Minister, let's retreat into the city first, the brothers can't stand it, there are too many mobs, kill hundreds, and there are more than a thousand."
The Minister of Security had no choice but to nod, and there was no way to do it now.
"Pass the order, all retreat!"
As soon as the head of the guard gave the order, the garrison troops began to retreat one after another, and there were less than thirty people still alive, and many seriously wounded had no way to evacuate at all, so they could only kill themselves.
"Minister, go quickly, we will resist for you." A group of wounded men walked in and preached.
"No...... No, I will never give up on you! ”
"Minister! None of us can run away with us, so let's go, please! One of the wounded men knelt down after speaking.
"Let's go!" All the wounded knelt en masse and pleaded.
"Everyone......" The Minister of Guard's eyes moistened, his heart was like a knife, and his teeth were about to be crushed.
"Minister...... Let's go. Qin Yue really couldn't bear to look at it.
"Thank you, everyone, thank you!" The Minister of Guards saluted, with tears in his eyes, and jumped off the tower with the remaining dozen people.
Those wounded were buying time for them with their lives.
There are more than 300 people in the guard team, and now there are only a dozen people left, and the official police officers of the guard department are the minister and Qin Yue.
After the minister jumped off the tower, he could not bear to look back, and the wounded regained their arms and roared into the mob to fight.
The Minister of Guards barely remembers crying in his life.
When Qin Yue saw this scene, he had already burst into tears, he was already a sentimental person, and at this moment, he saw his former companions going to death one by one, and even wanted to go back and die with them.
However, they are well aware that their battle is not over and that the dead must not be allowed to die in vain.
The Minister of Security wiped away his tears, looked cold, and said angrily:
"I'll avenge you, go, go back to the city!"
Qin Yue finally couldn't bear to turn his head and ran to the city with the minister and the others.
The fighting behind him ended in less than a minute.
Qin Yue looked back and saw countless people actually jumping down from the city tower, and then roared madly and ran towards them.
Qin Yue almost screamed out in fright.
The Minister of Security didn't look back to know what was going on, and said coldly:
"Hurry up, get back to the city, and inform all civilians to evacuate from Moonheart."
After the fall of Moon Heart City, there were only two places where civilians could go, one was Moon Farm City, and the other was the weird Purple Moon Island.
At this moment, there are still a few thousand civilians in the city, and the mob has completely stormed the city, how many of them can successfully break through?
Qin Yue estimated that one-tenth of it would be good.
The dozen or so people who survived sped up and ran towards Yuexin City, and soon, a group of people appeared at the intersection in front of them, all holding shields and iron rods, waiting for the battle, quite imposing.
"...... you guys," the Minister of Guards asked, pausing to ask.
"Minister, the city lord has already left Yuexin City, and it is estimated that he has run away to Yuenong City!" A man said.
"What?" The Minister of Security looked at him in shock, "This ...... When?"
"When we heard that the city gate needed support just now, we went to the city lord, hoping that he would come forward to ask the god lord, but it turned out that there was no one in the Yuecheng Mansion, and the other ministers were gone."
"How so?" The Minister of Security never imagined, "This group of bastards actually left civilians to flee for their lives." ”
"The intestines we beat on the castle tower are rotten, and they actually ran away on their own, damn, let me catch them and kill them!" A middle-aged man covered in blood who had just been ripped off the city tower shouted angrily.
The Minister of Security forcibly calmed down, there must be no chaos at this time, since the city lord has run away, he is the supreme person in charge here, and he must shoulder the responsibility of protecting civilians.
He took a few deep breaths and asked reluctantly calmly, "Then what are you doing here?"
The man actually smiled: "We're here to fend off the mob, minister, don't be surprised, I know what you're trying to say, but what I want to say is that Moonheart City is the place where we have lived for generations, and now that such a big change has happened, although I don't have the ability to save everyone, I still want to do my part for Moonheart City." ”
"...... you" The Minister of Security was moved and didn't know what to say, Qin Yue also looked at the boy dumbfounded.
"Okay, needless to say, the mob army is coming, you hurry back to the city to arrange for civilians to escape, and leave it to us here."
The boy smiled, and then his expression was cold.
"Brothers, swear to defend Moonheart City to the death!"
"Swear to defend Moonheart City!"
"Swear to defend Moonheart City!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and everyone's face was full of determination and death!
For the first time, the Minister of Security shed tears and bowed deeply to everyone, and of course Qin Yue also bowed.
"Please, everybody!"
"Let's go."
The roar of the mob was heard behind him, and thousands of mobs climbed over the walls and into the city.
With tears in his eyes, the Minister of Security quickly ran towards the Yuecheng Mansion with Qin Yue and the others.
The boy smiled lightly, and then shouted loudly:
"Brothers, today is the time to be a hero!"
"Good!"
The crowd chanted in unison again.
Many people are usually afraid of death, but when it comes to a desperate situation, in order to protect their relatives, hometown, friends, and lovers, they are not afraid of death at all.
"Brother Yang, what should we do? You see, there are thousands of people in those mobs, how can we fight with dozens of us? ”
"Huh." The boy smiled coldly, "That's why I deliberately chose this road, the terrain here is favorable to us, and only this road can enter the city." ”
"Then what do you mean ......"
The boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised the shield in his hand:
"Brothers, line up for me and stop those mobs for me!"
Under the boy's order, everyone raised the shields in their hands one after another, forming a human wall, and looked at the black pressure without fear of death, and rushed over the mob army quickly!
"Come on! Protect Moonheart City! ”
The crowd roared and went up, colliding head-on with the mob army!
Everyone gritted their teeth and used all their strength, and the force of the mob army was like the top of Mount Tai, and the mob behind them still rushed over......
"For the sake of our family, for the sake of our hometown, brothers, we must resist!"
"Swear to live and die with your hometown!"
The human wall and the mob army are engaged in a fight to the death!
This human wall, composed of will and faith, lasted less than a minute before it was completely submerged in the tide of the mob army......
The Minister of Security and the others returned to Yuexin City and came to the Yuecheng Mansion, and the Minister of Security hurriedly said:
"Qin Yue, you go to the beach immediately, gather all the boats, and I'll go in and use the radio to inform the civilians to prepare to evacuate!"
"Good!" Qin Yue nodded, spread his legs and ran towards the beach.
The Minister of Security rushed into the already empty Tsukijo Mansion.
At this moment, the civilians who were still kneeling at the gate of the Moon God Palace suddenly heard a broadcast in the air:
"Civilians, an urgent notice is now issued, due to the fact that there are too many mob armies, the city gate has fallen, all civilians immediately withdraw from Moonheart City, you can choose to go to Moonland City, or go to the seaside and take a boat to Purple Moon Island......"
The broadcast paused for a moment, and the Minister of Guards took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and continued:
"I know you're scared and reluctant to give up the town we've lived in for decades, but ...... I hope you can understand that life is the most precious thing, and here, I hope that you can evacuate Moonheart City immediately, save your strength, and what you have lost, we will regain it one day. ”
The Minister of Guard's voice was already a little choked in the back, and the civilians stopped praying and listened calmly.
"After I finish this broadcast, I will go to the beach to board a boat to Purple Moon Island to meet the oracles there, and I hope everyone can transfer safely."
"In closing, I wish you all the ...... Good luck. ”
The broadcast stopped.
It's like the former glory of Moon Heart City, in a strange sound, it completely ceased to exist......
There was silence among the civilians, and after a minute of silence, the riots began......
Countless people shouted and cried bitterly, and a large number of civilians began to run towards the west gate, and they had to take that road to Yuenong City, which showed that many people still had a fear of Purple Moon Island.
For a time, the scene was extremely chaotic, with miscellaneous messes, crying, stampedes, and people's cries and screams everywhere.
In the moment of despair, these civilians lost their last support and began to have a nervous breakdown, and many even gave up resistance and collapsed directly to the ground waiting for death.
Many people ran towards the west gate, and happened to collide head-on with the mob army that had entered the city.
Then, the massacre began, these civilians had no ability to resist at all, and were wantonly tortured and killed by the mob, crying, screaming, fighting, and all kinds of tragic scenes were staged one by one, and the beautiful Moon Heart City in the past became a purgatory on earth at this moment.
Whether it's praying for God to appear and save them, or hiding to escape.
It didn't make any sense, the overwhelming momentum of the mob army engulfed countless people in an instant, and wherever the mob army walked, there were countless miserable screams, and civilians began to suffer a large number of casualties, and even so, there were still many people who wanted to run to the west gate.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of the Minister of Security were full of sadness and despair.
He couldn't help it.
Everything that can be done has been done, and maybe, this is really the meaning of God.
He turned around, looked at Qin Yue, who was already frightened with a frightened face, and sighed weakly:
"Let's go, go to Purple Moon Island."
