Chapter 10: Desperate Situation!
Chapter 10: Desperate Situation!
Compared to the other two areas that have already fallen, the Sheena district is not large.
In the middle of the Sheena district is the royal palace. The palace occupies a large area, about one-seventh of the entire Sheena district, and if you add the ring moat, which has been widened several times, it occupies almost one-sixth of the area.
Originally, the palace was only the residence of the king and his family and the office of the kingdom, but today it is also the temporary residence of the important ministers of the kingdom, as well as the headquarters of all military and political departments.
As for the reason why the ministers and nobles were willing to give up their splendid and spacious mansions and run under the eyes of the king, and the places where they lived were far less than the original.
No way, it's too chaotic outside!
In such a large place, more than a million people were forcibly crammed in, and the consequences were ......
It's like demolishing all the buildings with more than 10 floors in Shanghai, and then forcing them to stay in the Shanghai area and not allow them to leave, and there is no guarantee of the necessary food supply every day!
In desperation, the king and his ministers decided to expand their recruitment on a large scale, and a large number of "healthy" young men were recruited as reserve soldiers of the "Restoration Army". was assigned to patrol various areas in the streets and alleys to maintain order in the Sheena district.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with this idea. However, due to the fact that in addition to the forks in execution, many ruffians and hooligans who did not have the courage to fight with giants but were bullying others and forming factions for personal gain were recruited into the Restoration Army......
It is conceivable what kind of life the civilians in the Sheena District lived!
There is no food and clothing, there are giants besieging the city outside, and they are about to enter the abyss of death at any time, and there are villains who are rampant, raping, and plundering...... Every morning, the soldiers of the Restoration Army had to sweep up a large number of bodies that had committed suicide or homicide and buried them on the spot.
………………
………………
When the wooden boat carrying Zhang Shen and his party was still hundreds of meters away from a certain waterway gate, they heard a shout to slow down and be inspected. From the man's voice, Zhang Shen heard a strong sense of surprise, probably because he felt very strange that someone was able to survive in the occupied area where giants were raging and still arrived in the Xina area.
Zhang Shen was about to slow down and dock the wooden boat to the designated place according to the meaning of the shouting man, but was stopped by Li Sai: "Don't forget that we are here to save the world, we must first settle inside, at this time, we should show our absolute overwhelming strength and obtain the absolute leadership of the human side, so as not to beware of knives from the rear when we fight with the giants." ”
These words made the three of Blue Phoenix more curious about the woman wrapped in a black robe next to Zhang Shen, and there was still a trace of appreciation and convincing in their eyes.
Zhang Shen thought that this sentence was very reasonable, and immediately took her advice, and the speed of the ship did not decrease but increased, and he was stunned and sailed towards the gate.
Moreland Svik is the commander of the Third Corps of the Restoration Army, and he happened to be here at this time, and when he learned about Zhang Shenmu's storage, he ran over excitedly, but he actually encountered such a thing, and he was depressed and annoyed in his heart.
As he gave several orders, the surrounding soldiers surrounded him one after another, and pulled out their bright weapons against Zhang Shen, fierce and vicious. The wooden boat was slightly closer, and its refreshed hull and distinctive part of the structure caught Moreland's attention.
Just when he felt that something was wrong and wanted to stop the docking of the wooden boat, he only heard a scream, and Moreland's pupils shrank, only to see dozens of soldiers as if they had been hit head-on by a galloping carriage, and this qiē was just a change in the figure of a young man with a giant sword on his back on the wooden boat!
"It's them!"
"They're back!!"
As a nobleman at the level of regimental commander, Moreland naturally knows about the Guardians. In fact, within the upper echelons of the kingdom, the guardians are also referred to as "men of God", and the name probably indicates the status of the guardians in the minds of the rulers of the kingdom...... Unfortunately, this qiē is just a one-sided conjecture on their part, and the source of it is probably that the guardians have not had time to show their "cruel" side due to time problems.
Moreland's cheeks flushed with excitement and trembled. This move fell into the eyes of other soldiers, and they thought that the self-owned officials were so angry with the arrogance of Zhang Shen and others, and after being stunned for a while, they drew their weapons one after another, shouted the slogan of the Restoration Army, and launched a new round of charge towards Zhang Shen and others.
"It's a nuisance." Yi Chao frowned and looked at the natives who were swarming up, muttered, and then raised his sword eyebrows, and the rock battle qi, sword qi, and evil qi were intertwined, erupting from his body, turning into an invisible spiritual shock and shock, sweeping towards the surroundings.
The One Piece world has a spiritual power called Overlord Color, which is a bit similar to this.
In an instant, the sound of shouting and killing was silent, and then, the sound of "plopping and plopping" falling to the ground came and went, and it became one.
The gap in strength makes Yi Chao not have to make a move, and he can easily solve the siege with just his own momentum!
"No!! He ......" Moreland reacted and wanted to stop his soldiers, but the scene in front of him made his unfinished words in his throat and could not come out again, turning into a strange "clucking" sound, like a chicken being choked by the neck.
Ten minutes later, hundreds of soldiers at the waterway wharf stood in place like eggplants beaten by autumn frost, without any energy, all in a trance, as if they had been fighting for several nights in a row.
Originally, in such an environment, although they were not desperate, their spirits were not enough, but now, after suffering a strong spiritual impact and the law mantra after the blue phoenix, they are in a state of sleepwalking.
On the other side, the royal palace.
King Dariss Zachary looked at the ministers who were arguing below, rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and took a sip of his teaglass, but he could not taste the slightest sweetness, and the rest was only bitter.
It's another meeting.
A lively meeting, but also a meeting that is destined to have no results.
The main theme of the conference was how to solve a series of problems that currently existed, such as food, armaments, order, transportation, and even the reconquest. Such meetings have been going on lately, and similar issues are being discussed not only in the highest centers of power in the kingdom, but in almost every department, and even in every family.
There is no answer, or rather, there is no way out.
In fact, not only the top of the kingdom sitting here, but also the other military and political personnel, and even everyone in the Hina District knew very well in their hearts-
Humanity has entered a desperate situation!
Yes, as it stands, there is no way to resist the giants' attacks, let alone repel them and regain the lost territories that have fallen.
It has also been a while since the turtle retreated to the Sheena District, and few people know that the kingdom's strategic material reserves have been depleted by more than half, and at this time, even if the kingdom wants to break the net and make the last struggle, it can't do it.
Counterattack! When the whole people entered the Sheena District, there were far-sighted generals who proposed this bill, but it was vetoed by the high-level who were panicked all day long, and the irony is that now, even if you want to make the last struggle, you can't do it.
What else can be done?
I can only wait for death.
Daris pursed his lips, swallowed a trace of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and forced his spirits to set his eyes on an old man with white hair who was so red with excitement that he was arguing with others, and a trace of sarcasm flashed from the bottom of his eyes. The old man's name is Nefar Torost, don't look at him now, he is so subdued and sonorous, he is one of the banners of the "counter-offensive", but at the beginning, this old guy was so frightened by the giant that he even did not hesitate to "die to admonish" and strongly demanded "strategic defense" to avoid the fierce offensive of the giant at that time......
"This country, no, it should be said that all human beings, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive this winter~~" Darius looked high and looked through the window to the blue and delightful blue sky. "It's a pity that I won't see such a beautiful blue sky again."
"This sky should belong to human beings."
"Giant, tsk, giant." Daris's eyes swelled with hatred as he remembered the worn, yellowed notebook in the palace chamber.
It was a secret room that only kings had been allowed to enter, and the contents of the notebook were known only to kings. The pages of the notebook were yellowed and tattered, as if they were going to decay and shatter at any moment.
It was something like a diary, scattered and trivial, but it recorded a terrible truth!
This news is absolutely not allowed to leak out, even if there are any bits and pieces!
According to historical records, the fifth king before Daris, one day suddenly went berserk and killed all his seventeen wives and concubines with a sword, and then hundreds of palace guards and maids were affected.
Everyone thought that the king had gone mad, and that only Darise knew the truth of the matter.
The reason why the king was like this was because he had a problem with talking in his dreams, and when he woke up the next day, he suddenly remembered the general content of the last night's dream talk.
It has to do with the notes on the note!
The terrified king didn't care whether he had leaked the true core secret, and immediately drew his sword, and inserted it into the heart of the concubine, who was usually extremely fond of the concubine beside him, under the latter's blank gaze...... Then came the Great Purge, which killed all the nearby guards and maids that night, as well as anyone who had been in contact with them......
The leopard in the tube shows the importance of that secret.
In Daris's opinion, it is the truth that if it is revealed, it will pull the world into hell!
"However, the current situation is different from hell?" Daris's sighed faintly, full of sorrow.
"General Svik, you can't go in without a summons from Your Majesty!" Suddenly, the guard's low shouts woke Daris.
Immediately, there was the sound of the iron armor colliding with the ground, as if someone had been pushed to the ground, and let out a muffled snort.
"General Svik, what do you want to do with so many people in the palace?!"
"Get out of here, I want to meet Your Majesty!"
"Let him in." Daris's voice resounded through the palace.
