Chapter 951. A tragic beginning

The Wind Source Continent is now also the hometown of Silver Dust.

What's more, the advent of the heavenly change and the two visits of the will of the world made Silver Dust have more worries, compared to releasing puppets to kill miscellaneous soldiers, he is more at ease that among the high-level people in the northern country, how many of them are colluding with Ke Ruian, Wudu or Purple Wind idlers? Who are these people? What kind of plan do they have behind them? It is impossible for Silver Dust to waste his hole cards before this force surfaces.

In the army below, he had already seen the North Star, the resurrected North Star, and Nalan Exhaustion, who had been removed from the magic mark, and the magician became alert, he knew that among the million-strong army opposite, there were countless masters hidden.

He was not facing an army of a million, but a real northern country.

No matter how strong the forbidden spell of Silver Dust is, it is impossible to cover such a large span from Feiyan City to the periphery of Pershing City, and it is not an antimatter bomb that can explode a continent at a time. Silver Dust's current forbidden spell still has the problems of insufficient launch distance and short guidance time, and it is still a weapon like a tactical nuclear bomb, far from reaching the height of strategic weapons.

He stood next to the battlement, looking at the tragic scene of burning and looting below, his heart was dripping blood, but he was powerless to return to the sky, and there was almost nothing he could do, he couldn't fall, he didn't allow it physically and mentally, he knew that a hundred steps behind him, the commanders of the forbidden army, including Chen Youshi, were completely forcibly lifted by his speech, gathered around him, he fell, these people would really disperse, Chen Youshi couldn't guarantee whether he would stay and continue to resist.

When the first drop of rain fell in his hair, he finally gave up.

He gave himself many reasons, both for rushing out and for killing and for giving up, but in the end, he gave up on making any changes to his plan that he had already made, and actively defended the city, and attacked passively, until the people of Pershing City could finally make up their minds to abandon the city and flee. But the problem is that his prestige and status, even with the threat of the army, can not move these people to leave, the only thing he did was to spend three days to let all the girls under the age of 20 with status and status flee, the most direct consequence is that the canal port is almost blocked by boats.

The young women who stayed behind were all lowly slaves, and most of them were even second- and third-class maids.

This is the only achievement he can be proud of these days, and now, outside the palace city, inside the imperial city, there is no longer a noble girl.

Thinking of this, he really gave up, gave up wasting time on this high city wall, struggling in his heart, and for the first time, he also advocated the pain of "not being able to act impulsively" as a mage, he was not Long Aotian after all.

He turned to leave, and the light rain slowly fell at this moment, and the silver-white ripples on his body also disappeared in the rain.

Chen Youshi and the other three town commanders stood in the rain, standing under the umbrellas held up by their own soldiers, watching Yinchen slowly walk back to the city tower from a distance. He and the other three looked at each other, each with a deep fear in each other's eyes.

The silver dust in their eyes is not like a general who can fight well, or a strategizing military advisor, but like a lonely emperor, yes, the emperor, that feeling of loneliness, the loneliness of shouldering all the responsibilities, is what makes the four guards the most frightened and chilling place, and their fearful eyes when they look at the back of the silver dust are mixed with too much distress.

In these years, no one's heart is beaten out of cast iron, they are all flesh long, when the guards are busy with their spirits, each thinking of escaping, and is about to bear the eternal humiliation, a person suddenly came out, gave them the weapon to defeat the enemy, and the belief that they can unite the soldiers, and condense the rabble of the same defenders into a tiger-like force, this kind of kindness to help them regain the glory of the soldiers, these four are just normal people in the devil's way, and they will still be grateful.

The concept of "defending the verge of death, the capital of the country is dying" is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people even after a thousand years of corrupt Confucianism. Hypocritical people also need face, and when the hypocritical face can't be maintained, the corrupt Confucianism does not hesitate to sacrifice his life for righteousness.

In the city, the Imperial Guards were already clearing the streets and building fortifications, and when almost all the girls and most of the boys in the whole city had abandoned the city, and only the adults, middle-aged and elderly people were trapped in the lonely city, the southern gate was finally closed, and the city was truly surrounded.

No matter how much food rations in the city are, it is impossible to supply a small million people for how long they can squander.

For the first time in a hundred years, the once noisy broad avenue became deserted during the day, and there were few figures, even in the special years when the old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, when the world was still crowded, and today, in the sudden drizzle of autumn rain, this city that had been prosperous for a hundred years became as depressed as the Nazi transit.

The various automated treasure facilities on the street stopped running for the first time, and the six-wheeled open-top horse-drawn carriage, which was like a bus, suddenly stopped, and even the two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage and rickshaw that were taxis disappeared without a trace, as if they had suddenly disappeared into the depths of the ground. The stations of the Guozijian and the Hanlin Academy, for the first time, were silent in broad daylight, and these pillars of the country had already been rushed by a holy decree of the Spirit Emperor to accompany the princes.

Do you really think that those princes will be lightly dressed and simple when they go out of the city? How many servants and subordinates have been impersonated by these elites, maybe it is not clear. Yinchen doesn't know about this, and it's even more impossible for the northerners to know.

In the city tower, Lin Xuanchen gently untied the eternal silver robe on Yinchen's body and wiped it gently. She pursed her lips, her big black eyes were clearly full of tears of fear and grief, but she didn't make a sound, she didn't come up with any words to comfort Yinchen, but she didn't pour out the growing fear in her heart, she was so quiet at this time, like a maid, she did her best to take care of Yinchen, with the tenderness that only a wife can have, soothing Yinchen's lonely, arrogant, and already scarred heart.

Wearing a blue and white shirt, Silver Dust sat at the square table, looking at his pair of silver palms with some pain and some dazedness, rushing to the place where the flesh and blood of the wrist met the treasure holy weapon, he really hoped that at this moment, the center of this palm could burst out of a whole divine domain for refuge.

However, that is not possible.

"Brother Yinchen, don't think too much, do what you do well, even if you are worthy of those who are dead and those who are alive. The little girl finally couldn't help it, stretched out a tender hand, and gently stroked the back of the silver dust.

Silver dust held the soft little hand like lightning. Lin Xuanchen's little hands were extremely cold, still trembling slightly, as if a human spirit who was about to disperse with the wind at any time, in the background of the dark screams and begging for mercy in the distance, her whole person emitted a weak white light, like a crystal butterfly, as if she could not withstand any wind and rain.

"Are you still here to comfort me...... You're the one you're most afraid of worrying about, aren't you?" Silver Dust gently hugged the girl into his arms, hugging her bumpy, elastic, but incredibly light body. The soft and elastic body trembled slightly in his arms, like a young bird that had fallen to the ground from a high warm nest surrounded by cold winter and heavy snow.

That weakness is really distressing.

"Don't be afraid. The girl's voice was ethereal and silent. It was not the bravery that was pretended, but rather the determination of the broken jade, and Yinchen suddenly returned to the dark night five years ago, the night of panic surrounded by thousands of corpses, the first night with the little girl, he could feel that the girl who had grown up at this time was no different from the little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old at the time, they were all so noble, weak and resolute.

"The essence is clean and clean, which is better than sludge trapping ditches. The moment these words flashed through the magician's mind, the magician felt as if there was a large, red-hot steel needle that pierced through each organ in turn.

"No, it won't. I'm not going to let that happen. Silver Dust's eyes, which were already angry and almost desperate, once again ignited a golden fighting spirit, and he knew that even if he faced the Umbrella Company's Resident Evil at this time, he must not back down.

Mages and warriors are always different, and it's easier for them to pick themselves up and carve a way through a hell full of horrors.

He stood up and drank the tea, which had cooled down a little.

"I still have to go out and deliver some more orders, even if I sit and wait, I can't prepare nothing, right?" he laughed to himself, a little bitterly.

"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here. The girl said firmly, dressing him in the silver robe.

"Well, let them set up their artillery, take care of the logistics and grass, and come back. After the magician finished speaking, as if he had risen again, he strode out of the door.

The girl looked at his back, as if she had made up her mind, and clenched her weak hands.

【Wind Source Continent】【Showa 9th September Twenty-one】

This day, which is famous in history, has finally arrived.

After nearly a week of preparation, the 1 million northern army under the personal command of the northern power Harlan Xuanming finally launched a general attack in the early morning of the twenty-first day, vowing to break the first city in the world that had stood for a hundred years. The army of one million was divided into 25 echelons by Harlan Xuanming, surrounded the four walls of Pershing, and pressed strongly with the scale of 10,000 people per wave on each wall.

Of course, in fact, the number of people participating in the war may not be so large, because no matter whether it is the south, the north, or any other country, it is customary to count the logistics troops together when liquidating the troops, after all, in this world, an army without logistics basically cannot win a war.

So in the early morning of the twenty-first day, when the first rays of sunlight appeared in the east, the rumbling drums of war boiled the blood of the soldiers defending the city, shattered the courage of the people stranded in the city, and the 40,000 vanguard troops pressed slowly and cautiously like a flood gradually flooding the small island in the lake.

At the front of the procession were "slave soldiers" dressed in heavy and hard armor and holding huge shields of steel They were the young and strong laborers of all the races conquered by the Northerners, including the Eight Banners of the Southern Army, and were an important factor in bringing a good harvest of grain to the hard-working breeding pigs, but these young men who had been responsible for the survival and prosperity of each race had to put on their old armor, carry heavy shields, and carry heavy spears, and were chained to their shoulders, forcing the low walls of steel to advance slowly, and becoming the part of the war that was completely meaningless to their respective races, with the highest mortality rate。 Their spears and huge shields can't help the city wall in front of them that is as high as thirty-one zhang, and the moat with a depth of about five zhang, their bulky armor does not allow them to do such a difficult thing as climbing the cloud ladder, their existence is just cannon fodder, defending against the cannon fodder of the southern cavalry team that suddenly rushed out of the five city gates and wanted to put down the cloud chariot.

Behind them, there were ten cloud cars.

Eight huge wooden wheels, almost one man high, with pig iron at the edges, together bear the foundation of a simple and sturdy structure, but without any shock absorption or suspension, made of wood and stone, like a small moving palace. The base is twenty-five zhang long, ten zhang wide, and more than one zhang high, supported by thick wooden pillars, and closed with a thin brick wall with arrow holes, only a door is opened at the back, and above the hollow base of one zhang high, there is a tall and sloping building of pure wood, at least thirty zhang high, leading to the top of the wall of Pershing City at an inclination of sixty degrees forward. The four walls of the real estate are thick wooden boards, and there are some light porcelain tiles sandwiched between the wooden boards, which are claimed to be able to block the direct shooting of the bed crossbow, the fixed top of the real estate, first of all, is a fully enclosed house as big as the base, completely nailed up by thick wooden boards, in addition to the three-zhang wide gate and the arrow hole above the door, there is no gap, the front of the gate is extended forward, there is no protection of a wooden board, the following is supported by a slender light and hard wooden beam, covered with a thin layer of wood, there is no protection on both sides, it is completely a movable wooden bridge, the wooden plank bridge itself can be tilted up and down 30 degrees, and the span is at least 15 zhang, facing the moat of Pershing City, it can be easily crossed in most cases.

Counting from the base, the span of this cloud car has already exceeded sixty zhang, the relatively spacious internal space is divided into three layers, the first and second floors can accommodate fifty heavy armored soldiers each, the third layer can accommodate thirty light infantry, and there is a heavy ballast behind the base to stabilize the balance, in the emergency repair out of the flat dirt road up to a thousand zhang, by eight domesticated and bred giant beasts can slowly rush to the top of the wall of Pershing City.
