Chapter Twenty-Nine: Showing Weakness?? [I still owe you a chapter]

Despite going out of the city gate, in fact, the kingdom side was still fighting a "positional war" and a "defensive war", and there was no intention of advancing from beginning to end, ensuring that everyone on their side was within the protection of the artillery fire on the city wall.

For all the people of the kingdom, this is the first battle to regain the lost land and wash away the national humiliation, but for Zhang Shen and other defenders, it is just a temptation, a temptation of the mysterious creature of "giants", or a temptation of this world.

Every barrel has a lifespan, and the cannonballs that came out this time are not too many, and after more than two hours of confrontation with the giant, the old general sent a message: there are not many gunpowder shells, continue to maintain the current firepower density, and it can support half an hour at most.

Just as they wanted to send a message to the city walls and ask them to cover below, the giants began to retreat!

Maybe the kohlrabi felt that the decisive moment had not yet come, or maybe he was simply unwilling to fight again, in short, the scouts came with the news that the giants gathered in the rear were retreating.

Probably because kohlrabi gave up control, the giant retreated in no order, and completely returned to his usual appearance, except for not approaching the city gate, in all directions, and directly exposed his back to this side, a defenseless look.

The old general wanted to launch a pursuit, but looking at the tired appearance of his soldiers and the supplies that were almost finished, he could only suppress this excitement and give the order to slowly withdraw to the city.

As mentioned earlier, most of these soldiers are newcomers who have never been on the battlefield, and the reason why none of them collapsed and feared the battle was completely dependent on the assistance of the Blue Phoenix's legal mantra "brainwashing". At this moment, the battle was over, and the blue phoenix had no intention of wasting any more energy to maintain this effect, and for a while, the long-suppressed emotions surged up.

Dazed, trance, excited, incredulous...... All kinds of emotions were mixed together, churning in their hearts, making them lose their minds for a while. However, the most common of these emotions is fear - fear!

In the face of a person who can easily play with his feelings, even if the latter is a beauty, most people will have similar uneasiness, not to mention that this is still on the battlefield of life and death.

There was some commotion among the army.

Fortunately, the "demon" of the blue phoenix is still sitting here, coupled with the obedient instinct of the trained soldiers, under the pressure of the old general and other officers, some commotion was eliminated in time.

Artillery in front, infantry followed. Under the command of the veteran general, the soldiers were divided into several parts and retreated in an orderly manner. Although the giant had disappeared from sight, no one dared to give up their vigilance, and still maintained absolute vigilance.

First time in battle, triumphant!

Everyone was greeted by a tsunami of cheers and countless tearful excited faces.

On both sides of the road, it was crowded with people, who screamed, shouted, cried and laughed as if venting, and the excitement was definitely no less than the emotions of Xia Guoren after the national football team won the World Cup.

They waited here for three hours, it was a fierce moment of life and death for the people on the battlefield, and it was also a deep torment for them, and the rumbling explosions entered the city through the city walls, and every sound was like a deep drumbeat, beating in their hearts.

They are terrified of the message of failure!

For this expedition, they put their last hope on it, if they wait for the results of the defeat, perhaps, these people who have been in a state of confusion for several months, and their hearts have been numb for more than half of them, will really despair from now on, lose all hope, and their hearts will be like ashes!

"Hard, hard, hard......" Daris, incoherently, repeating the three words in his mouth, too excited to know what to say. His eyes were red, the crown on his head was crooked, his gray hair was scattered, and his body was trembling.

He and a group of ministers and nobles have also been waiting here, and when the news of the victory came, some people couldn't help but dance on the spot, and all their identities and appearances were thrown aside, and their faces were covered with muddy tears.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you......" Zhang Shen was grasped by him, and he could feel his palms full of sweat.

The kingdom has been breached, humanity has been forced to such an extent, and as the king of this country, the pressure on Daris's is simply incomprehensible to outsiders! If he is a mediocre king, it is fine, but he is still a king with the name of "virtuous".

Daris, who was extremely excited, thanked all the defenders, and was only then pulled by Monte and the others, who calmed down a little: "Your Majesty, the warriors are also tired, let's go to the palace and talk about it." ”

Because His Majesty was too enthusiastic, and the road was only so wide, the soldiers were all blocked at the city gate, and as soon as the city gate was closed, it was almost not crowded together, and they couldn't move at all.

"Oh, good, good......" The intense mental stimulation made Daris's expression a little dazed.

Under the guidance of the ministers and nobles such as Monte, the soldiers returned to their respective teams, and Zhang Shen and other guardians, as well as high-ranking officers such as the old general, advanced in the direction of the palace.

The spacious council hall was simply furnished and had the atmosphere of a banquet hall, and although it was a little rudimentary due to the lack of supplies, the heartfelt joy on everyone's faces, including the waiters, was enough to cover up these flaws.

Daris's mood was obviously a little abnormal, and he was taken to the dormitory by the maid to rest and freshen up, and in the hall, Zhang Shen and all the other people who had just retired from the battlefield were surrounded by ministers and nobles, asking all kinds of questions.

A few people in the Blue Phoenix Li Festival are okay, because they have shown feared strength, and they have always behaved relatively indifferently, few people dare to come to them; Jiang Zhaohui and other newcomers have also been touched about the roots, knowing that they are just soy sauce, and not many people take care of them; Zhang Shenke is tragic.

Because of alchemy, he had more contact with Monte and others, and his personality was not bad, but in general, he suddenly became a humanoid information acquisition machine, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and some people even vaguely expressed their willingness to give the family daughter's hands to the ......

Daris's timely arrival rescued Zhang Shen and the annoyed crowd.

His hair had not yet dried, his clothes had changed into civilian clothes, and his previous trance-like expression was completely gone, and the previously wise and decisive King Daris, once again appeared in front of everyone.

Daris's arrival made the hall suddenly quiet, and all eyes were focused on him, waiting for him to speak—this kind of thing was the same in any world, and it was extremely boring.

After sincerely expressing his gratitude to Zhang Shen and others, he simply said a few words and gave up with a glass of wine.

The lack of food has made the domestic alcohol and drinks a rarity, and the little wine at the banquet is still made up by various families, Zhang Shen and other guards don't feel anything, these noble ministers are not good when they drink, and there is not a drop left.

After several months of grain shortage, although Zhang Shen refined a large number of grain bricks, no one dared to propose to use some of them to make wine.

With Daris's presence, the atmosphere of the banquet was reduced considerably.

It didn't take long for the excuse to come down from the battlefield physically and mentally exhausted, and Zhang Shen and the others left one after another and returned to Xiaolou.

Zhang Shenlan Phoenix and the other six people came to the side hall that was usually used as a conference room.

"How does it feel?" Blue Phoenix asked, looking around.

Yi Chao smiled with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up: "It's cool to kill." ”

The corner of the blue phoenix's eyes jumped: "Get out, who told you this." Also, be careful, don't be affected by your evil sword, you've been too angry lately. ”

Yi Chao was opposed by the Blue Phoenix when he chose the Moon Ghost Refining at the beginning, because the evil spirit contained in this sword is very heavy, although it will not make the sword bearer become a bloodthirsty demon as stated in the novel, but it will also slowly affect the sword holder's heart, if the sword man's heart is not up to par, he will also become more irritable and murderous on the original basis.

There is no doubt that Yi Chao, who has a detached personality, belongs to the kind of person whose mental cultivation is not up to the mark.

"Hehe" Yi Chao sloppily and didn't care about it. In fact, all three of them have changed a lot because of the death of Lingyou and the two.

"Captain, what are you referring to?" Yi Chao decisively changed the topic and removed the focus of his captain from himself.

Zi Hao's thick eyebrows furrowed, and the long-term tacit understanding made him know what the blue phoenix meant: "What the captain said should be the giant offensive." ”

"That's right." Blue Phoenix nodded, "Didn't you notice anything wrong?" ”

According to the observation of everyone in the past ten days, the number of giants in the two urban districts alone is at least 20,000, and the number of giants near the wall of Shina in the Ross region is at least seven or eight thousand.

However, from beginning to end, the giant's offensive has been tepid, wave after wave, although there is a certain sense of ladder hierarchy in strength, but it feels like playing a tower defense game, which is so weird that it is unreal!

This is unscientific!!

For a long time, in the minds of everyone, kohlrabi has been a managerial character with normal adult human thinking ability and logical judgment ability, and is a terrible enemy, but everything it does today is extremely naïve and unbelievable.

Could it be that it's watched too much football lately?!

Could it be that I have been "misunderstood" about it all along??

What the answer is, no one knows. However, those who count on the enemy to be idiots are undoubtedly the real idiots, and none of the six Zhang Shen people dare to label kohlrabi as "brain-dead".

The discussion was fruitless for a while.

In addition, everyone is indeed a little tired, so it is worth giving up for the time being, putting it aside, and talking about it tomorrow.

Time passed, and before I knew it, the night was falling.

The hourglass kept running, and quietly, the night was late.

Outside the city walls.

Under the cover of the thick night, a large black shadow is quietly approaching.
