The city lord of Black Rock City is named Zhao Shuangjin, and he is a congenital first-layer powerhouse.

Because Black Rock City was an important granary of the Dayue Dynasty, there were many more soldiers guarding the city than other cities, and the guards were the elite of the soldiers.

On weekdays, Zhao Shuangjin ordered people to inquire about the sentry in three time periods, no matter at any time, no matter what he was doing, Zhao Shuangjin would accept the report of the outpost personnel on time, and he would not check the situation of the camp next to the four city gates from time to time.

Compared with the nobles of the imperial capital, Zhao Shuangjin did not have a prominent family background. used to be a soldier in Ji Lingyun's army, and he was able to sit in the position of the city lord, completely because of his own step-by-step efforts and Ji Lingyun's recommendation.

Zhao Shuangjin cherishes the position he got today, so Zhao Shuangjin works very hard when doing anything, especially the important task of guarding the granary, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

In Black Rock City, whenever the city lord Zhao Shuangjin was mentioned, the people all opened their mouths to praise. Blackstone City was well organized by Zhao Shuangjin, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was never a case of the people being impoverished and the government oppressing the people.

In recent days, Zhao Shuangjin always felt a little blocked, and from time to time he felt a sense of panic in his heart, but he couldn't find the reason.

"Husband, now that the world is peaceful and there is nothing dangerous, don't think about it too much!" Zhao Shuangjin's wife comforted Zhao Shuangjin when she saw that Zhao Shuangjin had been restless recently.

"I know it's peaceful, but I don't know why, I always feel like something big is going to happen, but I really can't think of anything that can threaten Blackstone. Zhao Shuangjin said anxiously.

"Maybe you've been too tired lately, so you might as well go out for a walk. Zhao Shuangjin's wife persuaded.

"Okay, I'll go out for a walk. Zhao Shuangjin got up and walked outside.

"Hello Lord of the City!"

"Is the lord going to inspect the city walls again?"

"Lord of the city, this is a steamed bun that my family has just made, you can taste one. ”

"Lord of the Castle... ”

At this time, it was evening, Zhao Shuangjin traveled all the way, and the surrounding people kept greeting him, and Zhao Shuangjin also replied one by one.

Coming to the west city wall, Zhao Shuangjin said hello to the deputy general on duty, and then led two guards to the south city wall, where a soldier stood at intervals, facing the outside of the city.

Zhao Shuangjin looked out of the city, the snow had melted, and the ground was black and dark, without a trace of insects. When he reached the southern wall, the sky had already darkened, and after telling the soldiers defending the city to cheer up, they marched towards the east wall.

By the time they reached the eastern city wall, the inhabitants of the city gradually fell asleep. At this time, Zhao Shuangjin's face began to turn a little pale, and the feeling of fear in his heart became stronger and stronger, which made Zhao Shuangjin's steps a little vain.

No, something must have happened, we must find out as soon as possible, Zhao Shuangjin's uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

At the same time, under the northern wall, all the orcs scattered at the foot of the Frosty Mountains gathered under the city, and approached the northern city wall under the cover of night.

The north city wall is fifteen meters high, and the three orcs are close to the city wall, and the orcs behind them step on the shoulders of the three orcs and climb up the city wall like arhats.

At this time, the top of the city wall was still pitch black, and the orcs who climbed to the top of the city wall broke the necks of the guards on the city wall and gently placed them on the ground.

After pulling the remaining orcs to the top of the city wall, the leading orcs stood in front of the city wall, carefully observed the layout of the city, and then all the orcs quietly ran towards the city.

Just after the orcs climbed the city wall, Zhao Shuangjin's heart became more and more uneasy.

"Quick, light all the torches, and send the other three guards to report on the situation. ”

Zhao Shuangjin gave orders to the guards beside him. The two guards began waving their torches, signaling the other three walls. The guards on the west and south walls were the first to respond, and the guards on the east walls were beside them.

"Well, why is there no signal from the north city wall?" Zhao Shuangjin asked.

"Lord Castle, I'll contact the North Wall again!" said one of the guards, and then began to wave the torch in his hand and signal.

"Lord of the City, the torches of the northern city wall are lit!" a guard said to Zhao Shuangjin after seeing the northern torches lit.

"No! the signal from the northern walls is wrong!" suddenly one of the guards drank.

"Blow the trumpet, beat the war drums, and the whole city is on guard!" Zhao Shuangjin said almost with a roar.

"Woo~~~Woo~~~Woo~~~" A low horn sounded throughout the city, waking up the sleeping people.

Knowing that their group had been discovered, the orcs took up their weapons and rushed towards the bottom of the city walls.

After entering the street, the orcs rushed directly in one direction, and the target was the army camp at the north gate of Blackstone City. When the orcs arrived at the barracks at the north gate of Black Rock City, the soldiers in the barracks had just picked up their weapons, and before they could get out of the room, a famous orc rushed into the barracks, this was a bloody massacre, and in less than half an hour, the massacre was over, and when Zhao Shuangjin arrived at the barracks with the soldiers, he saw blood and broken corpses all over the ground.

"Quick, follow the footprints!" found the bloody footprints on the ground, Zhao Shuang didn't have time to observe the footprints when he came in, so he led someone to chase after him.

"Inform the archers on the city wall to prepare, and shoot freely if you find a suspicious situation!" Zhao Shuangjin ordered.

"Look at the footsteps, these people are heading towards the east gate, and tell the guards of the other two gates to gather at the east gate, and the archers are also gathering towards the east wall. Speed up!" The elites of Black Rock City who followed behind Zhao Shuangjin all accelerated their speed and ran towards the East City Gate after hearing the order.

When he was less than three kilometers away from the camp at the east gate of Black Rock City, Zhao Shuangjin finally saw the target he was chasing, burly, not to say huge, four meters tall, covered in animal skins, and with fangs in his mouth.

The words "orc!" came to Zhao Shuangjin's mind.

"Oh no, hurry up and order someone to send a message to the imperial capital, and the orcs will enter and attack Black Rock City. In addition, send a message for help to the surrounding major cities! Open the south gate of the city, so that all the people can quickly escape from the city!"

After speaking, Zhao Shuangjin's momentum on the first floor of heaven and man exploded, and he raised his sword and slashed towards the last orc, and finally the orc sensed that someone was sneaking behind him, and his body hurriedly dodged and a "poof" sound came, and the orc did not completely avoid Zhao Shuangjin's attack, and was slashed on the arm by a sword, and half of his arm fell to the ground.

"Whew!" the orc howled.

The orcs in front heard the sound behind them, and they all turned around and killed, and a fierce battle quickly unfolded. Because the soldiers of the Dayue Dynasty were in an extremely cold place and fought against the harsh environment, their combat effectiveness was much higher than that of the soldiers in the south, but it was still not enough compared to the orcs.

Orcs are known for their great strength, and the weapons they use are mainly heavy weapons, and the first few orcs are holding more than two meters of shields, and their bodies are rushing forward.

Just when the orcs were about to come into contact with Zhao Shuangjin and the others, a sound of breaking the air sounded, and Dao Dao sharp arrows shot down from the city wall, and in an instant, several orcs were shot by arrows, and red blood flowed out of their bodies. No orcs died, the crimson blood stimulated the nerves of the orcs, and a famous orc seemed to have gone berserk, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.

"Chop the wind!" Zhao Shuangjin let out a low shout, and with a sword split, the bodies of the two orcs were split in half by Zhao Shuangjin's sword, and they slowly fell to the ground, and the battlefield of the fight instantly fell silent.

"Roar!" a roar sounded, and the flames of war were ignited again. Zhao Shuangjin's Earth Demon Bear ran from a distance, cooperated with Zhao Shuangjin, and killed three more orcs in an instant.

Just when Zhao Shuangjin was about to take advantage of the situation to kill the fourth orc, a huge mace blocked the sword that slashed down, and the orc commander made a move. The mace slammed upward, threw Zhao Shuangjin out fiercely, and smashed it against the wall of a private house before stopping. A mouthful of blood spurted out, Zhao Shuangjin fell to the ground, and the house behind him also collapsed.

No, this orc has an innate dual cultivation, and I am not an opponent.

"Earth Demon Bear!" Zhao Shuangjin shouted at the Earth Demon Bear, and then rushed towards the orc commander with the Earth Demon Bear. With the addition of the Earth Demon Bear, Zhao Shuangjin is not as embarrassed as before, and he can be tied with the orc commander. As the battle unfolded, the surrounding houses fell one by one, and the people who did not have time to retreat were crushed to death by the collapsed houses.

More than 2,000 people against 600 orcs is a difficult task for the human side.

Completely with their powerful flesh, the orcs rampaged through the battlefield with impunity, and wherever they passed, human soldiers were strangled to pulp. The battle lasted for more than half an hour, and the soldiers defending the south and east gates joined the battlefield. The archers on the ramparts were unable to shoot effectively, and then joined the battlefield, and the scene became even more chaotic.

The awakened citizens of the city rushed towards the southern gate, and some of the brave people also took up arms and joined the team against the orcs. However, the truth is cruel, the more the orcs fight, the more brave they become, although the blood on their bodies flows, but the combat effectiveness has not weakened in the slightest, the four-meter-high behemoth, rampage on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers were knocked to death.

Only when you cultivate to reach the fifth level or more of a martial artist can you have the strength to fight with ordinary orcs. Although the number of soldiers is large, the number of cultivators is very small, and among the nearly 10,000 soldiers, there are only about 2,000 cultivators, and among these 2,000 people, less than 700 are cultivated above the fifth level of martial artists.

The casualties gradually increased, the number of orcs decreased to about five hundred, nearly six thousand soldiers had been killed in battle, and the rest were not weak in cultivation.

As the number of casualties increased, Zhao Shuangjin's eyes erupted with rage. Most of these people were brought over from the Extreme Cold City, and they were brothers who had been born and died with him many times.

"The city is here! Kill!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and the remaining soldiers rushed desperately to kill, some soldiers directly hugged the legs of the orcs, seeking a killing blow for their comrades, and the entire battlefield was piled up like a mountain of corpses, and blood flowed like a river.

More than 50 percent of the people in the city have retreated, and the rest are still running towards the south gate. The situation of the battle deteriorated further, with the death of soldiers below the fifth floor of martial artists, and the death toll of cultivators above the fifth floor also increasing.

"Brother Zhao, dozens of orcs are heading in the direction of the south gate, you go and rescue the people! Our five brothers will buy time for you!"

Behind Zhao Shuangjin, five great Han warriors suddenly rushed out, and killed the orc commander, forcing Zhao Shuangjin out of the battlefield.

Not daring to hesitate, Zhao Shuangjin stepped on the back of the Earth Demon Bear with his sword and hurriedly ran towards the south gate.

By the time they reached the South Gate, dozens of orcs had already started a frenzied slaughter, and hundreds of ordinary people had fallen in pools of blood.

"Wind Thorn!" a low shout rang out, and the sword pierced through the heart of an orc, who fell to the ground.

When dozens of other orcs saw Zhao Shuangjin, they also gave up slaughtering ordinary people one after another and rushed towards Zhao Shuangjin.

Although there were a lot of orcs who came, there was only one innate layer powerhouse, and he raised his sword to meet him, and the battle started instantly.

The battle near the East Gate gradually came to an end, and the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers were piled up, and only a few dozen soldiers were surrounded by orcs in the center.

"Brothers, swear to defend your homeland!"

"Defend your homeland to the death!" the remaining soldiers shouted in unison, and their voices resounded through the sky.

"Brother Zhao, be brothers again in the next life!" another roar spread through most of Black Rock City.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~~"

Immediately after, the sound of explosions came from the east city gate. The remaining soldiers, collectively blow themselves up!

"No!" Swinging his sword and killing the last orc, Zhao Shuangjin was about to run towards the East City Gate, but a feeling of weakness swept through his body, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.

"No!" Zhao Shuangjin spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his expression became even more depressed.

"Be brothers again in the next life!" Zhao Shuangjin muttered in a low voice, and the brothers who had shared weal and woe, rescued each other on the battlefield many times, and supported each other gradually appeared in his eyes.

"We have all come through so many trials of life and death, but today we are going to say goodbye forever......"

"Husband, hurry up, you are the city lord of Black Rock City! There are still people waiting for your rescue!" A voice sounded in Zhao Shuangjin's ears, it was Zhao Shuangjin's wife, Sun Ran.

"Yes, I still have unfinished business. Hurry, everyone, get out of the city, flee in the direction of Icemoon City!"

While directing the people to flee, Zhao Shuangjin said to Sun Ran: "Madam, you should go quickly!"

"No, I'm not leaving, in this world, I only have one relative. Wherever you are, I will be with you forever, in heaven and on earth. Looking at Zhao Shuangjin, Sun Ran's eyes were full of determination.

"Ran'er..."

The rumbling gradually stopped, and the footsteps of the surrounding people gradually became scarce.

"Quick, quicken your pace!"

It wasn't until the last people escaped from Black Rock City that Zhao Shuangjin and his wife prepared to escape. At the moment when Zhao Shuangjin turned around, a mace shot quickly, and he hurriedly turned around and swung his sword to resist.

"Click", the long sword in Zhao Shuangjin's hand broke in response, and the mace bombarded Zhao Shuangjin's chest unabated, his ribs collapsed, and Zhao Shuangjin fell to the ground fiercely.

The earth trembled slightly, and a dense sound of footsteps sounded, Zhao Shuangjin glanced back at the outside of the city, and the people fled not very far.

Throwing away the broken sword in his hand, Zhao Shuangjin got up slowly, gently stroked Sun Ran's face with his hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ran'er, we may not be able to leave today." ”

"Old man, you go first, you're not human, you can still go now. ”

Zhao Shuangjin stroked the fur of the Earth Demon Bear again, and when he heard Zhao Shuangjin's voice, the Earth Demon Bear gently arched Zhao Shuangjin with his head, his eyes were full of reluctance, and he turned around and ran in the direction of the orc.

"Boom", an earth-shattering sound came into Zhao Shuangjin's ears.

"Old man!"

Two bloody tears remained, Zhao Shuangjin tidied up the clothes on his body, turned to look at Sun Ran and said, "Ran'er ......"

"Let's go together, don't forget, I'm also a martial artist. Resting his head lightly on Zhao Shuangjin's shoulder, Sun Ran and Zhao Shuangjin stood quietly in front of the city gate, looking at the orcs who were getting closer and closer.

"Once upon a time and now it has passed and never come again, the red and red leaves are buried in the dust, the beginning and the end are always unchanged, you are floating outside the white clouds on the edge of the sky, the sea of bitterness is full of love and hate, in the world, it is difficult to escape fate。。。。。。 (With you all my life)

"Boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and the southern gate of Blackstone City collapsed.

The fleeing civilians stopped when they heard the last explosion. Regardless of the old, young, women and children, they all turned around and kowtowed respectfully three times in the direction of Black Rock City.

Half a month after the end of the battle of Black Rock City, a voice sounded in the palace.

"Your Majesty, news is coming from the front. ”

"General, there's news from Black Rock City!" Ji Fengtian and Ji Lingyun raised their heads in the Ji family's study.

"Prime Minister, there's news from Black Rock City!" Zhuge Family, Zhuge Lingyun suddenly got up and looked at the people who came.

Soon after, a thick sadness and murderous aura rose from these three places.

Looking at his father, he didn't need to look at it, Ji Fengtian also knew that Black Rock City would be wiped out!

Putting the book in his arms on the ground and standing up slowly, Ji Fengtian faced the north, lowered his head, and mourned in silence.

In the next few days, news gradually came back from the major cities in the north. With the exception of Blackstone City, all the other castles are intact.

According to Dongfang Ming's orders, the major cities began to arrange to search the edge of the Frost Mountain Range.

After another ten days, news came from Extremely Cold City. A month ago, a small group of orcs attacked the southern gate of the Extremely Cold City. It just so happened that that night, Ji Yuanshan rewarded the three armies, and the soldiers had a night of carnival, and when the orcs rushed into the south gate of the extremely cold city and crossed the north gate, they happened to meet the soldiers of the three armies who were full of wine and food, and the result was naturally very sad.

Why? Because the soldiers of Extreme Cold City have been fighting against orcs all year round, and their cultivation is above the fifth level of martial artists, and the combat strength of both sides is about the same, the number of human soldiers has an advantage.

The moment the two sides met, they both froze for a moment, and then the human side was instantly excited, and killed the five hundred orcs who had sneaked in on the spot.

Then, under the command of Ji Yuanshan, there was a burst of indiscriminate shooting on the north wall of the Extreme Cold City, and the casualties of the orcs hidden in the darkness were also very serious, leaving a corpse, and the orcs quickly fled from the Extremely Cold City for more than ten kilometers before stopping their figures.

Seeing the content of this letter, Ji Fengtian couldn't cry or laugh, and at the same time, he was very curious about his unmasked grandfather.

In the north, the city lords of several major cities personally led the team to Blackstone City. Seeing the tragic situation in Black Rock City, everyone felt sad in their hearts.

After collecting and incinerating the bodies of the dead soldiers in Blackstone City, he carefully searched Blackstone City. It turned out to be the corpses of thousands of soldiers, as well as the granaries of the ransacked Black Rock City, without any trace of the orcs.

The group tracked north of Blackstone City and found the slaughtered village.

In half a month, in the vicinity of the entire Frost Mountain Range, human soldiers were everywhere, and no trace of orcs was found, nor did they find the passage of the Frost Mountain Range.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and Imperial Capital College has ushered in a new class of students.

Ji Lingyun, Xu Jing and Zhuge Yun stood in front of the carriage and watched Ji Fengtian and Zhuge Qingming walk towards the gate of the Imperial Capital Mountain Academy······
