Chapter 389: Migration
The surging herd of beasts retreated in less than half an hour. The burning city was safe again for the time being.
Looking at the herd of beasts that gradually disappeared from sight, Le Yan's face was quite ugly. The sudden retreat of the beast herd was undoubtedly another slap in the face that he wanted to recover, so that he didn't even have a chance to make up for it, so after going down the city wall, it was not surprising to see that the eyes of the city people who were originally full of respect for him shifted to Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan.
The two people were still invited by him, no matter how secretly they hated, they still had to put on a grateful look, thank the two for their generosity, and kill those insects and beasts before they did too much damage to the burning city.
Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan were not in the mood to be polite to each other. Gu Lingzhi looked quite easy to deal with insect beasts before, but if it weren't for the unusual sharpness of the Feng Wu Sword, she wouldn't have been able to get it so easily. Manipulating the spiritual power to smash the internal organs of the insect beast also consumed a lot of her spiritual power, and now she urgently needs to replenish the spiritual power.
After casually saying a few polite words, Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan said goodbye to Le Yan and returned to the mansion prepared for them. Nothing was said all night.
The retreating beast seemed to know the difficulty of the Burning City, and did not reappear for several days. And the helpers sent by other cities have also been late in the past few days. Seeing that the burning city was full of ruins waiting to be rebuilt, but there were no fierce beast corpses outside the city, he sneered very much, and Wei Leyan exaggerated the matter, and he was embarrassed to ask for help from other cities with this scale of fierce beast army. Le Yan was half angry, but he didn't dare to offend a few people and lose so many helpers. Just wait for the next attack of the fierce beast and send these people to be cannon fodder.
A few days later, just when everyone thought that the beast had completely retreated and did not plan to attack the city again, a distress letter from Longyue City shattered their illusions.
"This group of fierce beasts is really cunning, they actually changed their positions and went to Longyue City!" Le Yan scolded in his mouth, but his heart blossomed. Thinking of the frightened expression of the helper sent by Longyue City after learning the contents of his heart, he felt a burst of darkness.
Let you sneer before, now you know how powerful the beast is, right?
"No, we have to hurry back to Longyue City, and we won't help. Han Li dropped this sentence and left with dozens of his men from Longyue City, intending to rush back to Longyue City in the shortest possible time.
As soon as the people of Longyue City left, the people of Wasteland City and Forgotten Worries City couldn't sit still, for fear that the next person to suffer would be their city.
Seeing this, Le Yan pretended to appease a few words, "You heroes don't have to worry too much, those fierce beasts generally act collectively, since they are attacking Longyue City now, they will not go anywhere else, Wasteland City and Forgotten Worry City are still very safe." Besides, with the strength of the two cities, these fierce beasts must not cause you any harm. ”
I actually gave them back their words of mocking the burning city before, and gave them a different trick! The rescuers sent by the City of Forgotten Worries and the Wasteland City secretly grinded their teeth when they heard this. But he also knew that what Le Yan said was the truth.
Judging from the way the beasts attacked the city during this time, they really didn't have time to deal with other cities. This gave the Burning City a respite. On the grounds that he had lost too much before and there was really no way to lend a hand, he recuperated openly.
The other helpers who came to help saw that they couldn't use themselves for a while, so they stayed for a few days and then went back one after another, Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan also stayed behind again and again and left in the early morning of the third day.
Both of them have good figures, and they are not afraid of the consumption of spiritual power. Rushing all the way, like two parallel meteors, in less than two days, he returned to Lingcheng.
Lin Zhongyuan had already learned about the burning of the city in his previous correspondence, and was directing the people of the city to strengthen the city wall and store oil, stones and other war materials. The return of the two, as he expected, naturally asked them about what they had seen and heard in the Burning City.
After learning that the fierce beasts attacking the Burning City had almost filled the walls of the Burning City and were still boundless, Lin Zhongyuan was glad that the first target of the fierce beasts was not them. Otherwise, even if Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan were there, Lingcheng would have to suffer heavy losses.
But this kind of happiness didn't last for a few days, and it was broken by a group of people who escaped from Longyue City. Because this group of people who are embarrassed, not much stronger than those who ask for food on the street, the leader of the team is actually Yunzhu, the city lord of Longyue City!
“...... Those giant insect beasts are really terrifying, as long as they hit the city wall, half of the city wall will fall, and the other half will be gnawed off by it, and no one will be able to stop them at all!" After speaking, I remembered that in this hall, there were really two people who could kill the giant insect beast, and their expressions were a little unnatural.
When she learned from the helpers of Longyue City who rushed back to help that the huge insect beast before was killed by Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan, she also asked someone to ask Lingcheng for help and asked them to send two people over to assist them in the battle. But before the letter could be sent, the city wall was hit by a huge insect beast with thick skin and thick flesh. What followed was a nightmarish sight of countless beasts entering the city. She also relied on her strength to escape with a few henchmen. Now how many people are left in Longyue City, she doesn't dare to think about where to go. After this battle, even if Longyue City is not removed from the five major cities, it will be greatly damaged and become the bottom existence among the cities.
Lin Zhongyuan listened to Yun Zhu's narration with a calm face from beginning to end, and after hearing that the fierce beasts knocked down the city wall so easily, he secretly decided to turn around and let the others strengthen the city wall again, and said in a deep voice: "Does the city lord know where those fierce beasts went after that?"
"This ...... I don't quite know. Yun Zhu said embarrassedly.
After the city was broken, she led the residents of the city to hold out for less than half a day, and suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they each fled for their lives, and who paid attention to where those fierce beasts were next?
Lin Zhongyuan frowned and pondered, feeling that this matter was a little difficult to do. Judging from the current development, it is really possible that the target of this group of fierce beasts is the entire Lost Land. Attacking Longyue City is only the first stop, God knows where their next target is, if they can't prepare in advance, it will bring unimaginable losses to the lost land.
Seeing that Lin Zhongyuan was silent, Rong Yuan lowered his eyelashes and said, "Even if we know the movements of the fierce beasts and know which city they are going to attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them." ”
With a huge insect beast and other great killing weapon, which city could withstand its impact? And in the entire Lost Land, the people who could destroy several insects and beasts in a period of time could only do it if Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan, two people whose physical bodies and cultivation were above the Spirit Saint, could do it. Even Lin Zhongyuan wasn't sure if he could kill the insect beast in a short period of time.
And Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan, it is impossible for them to have the technique of doppelganger, and they toss and turn in several cities. You can't solve the giant insects, and even if you know their goal in advance, it's useless, it's just a little longer to struggle.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the entire hall was heavy, Qiao Yeshu slapped the table in front of him heavily and said, "Why do you want to do so much?
Chu Jiang glared at him, "Hide? Do you know how many people there are in a city? How can there be such a big place for them to hide?"
Not to be outdone, Qiao Yeshu pointed to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, "We have such a big place in Lingcheng!"
Unlike other cities that constantly absorb blood from all sides in order to increase their strength, Lingcheng has always been self-sufficient, unless it is an outsider who has a relationship with the Lingren by marriage, and the rest of the people who want to live in Lingcheng have to pay a lot of money. Therefore, although the Spirit City was built as the largest of the five cities, it had the fewest inhabitants. This is also one of the reasons why the female insect descendant was able to kill so many people before, and the loose living brought a lot of convenience to the female insect descendant.
Chu Jiang laughed angrily when he heard this, "We have such a big place in Lingcheng, do we have to accept foreign population?"
Qiao Yeshu was silent for a moment.
Not to mention the inconvenience caused to the spiritual city by receiving so many people, just returning the spiritual power in the city, I don't know how much will be divided. The most important thing is that they don't mind that their spiritual power is absorbed by others, and people from other cities will be willing to move over?
However, Qiao Yeshu's words successfully reminded Rong Yuan of the moment.
He has nothing to do with other cities, but he has a good impression of the first city of Forgotten Worries. In the past two years, he has also gotten along well with Guan Yue, if possible, if he is willing to help. So when the people of Longyue City were arranged to go down to rest, and only the backbone of the Spirit City was left in the hall, Rong Yuan brought up his thoughts and asked Lin Zhongyuan if he could accommodate the people from Forget Worry City to take refuge, and then let them go back after the matter was settled.
Lin Zhongyuan pondered for a moment and said: "It's not impossible to let them come, now is the time to employ people, with them joining, the Spirit City can be safer." But are they willing?"
Rong Yuan smiled lightly, "As long as Guan Yue is not a fool, he will not refuse this proposal." ”
Is Guan Yue a fool? Of course he isn't!
When he received the news that Longyue City had been breached, he was thinking about a solution, and sent people to send letters asking Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan for help, which were also one after another. When he heard that Rong Yuan, who had rushed to Forget Worry City, proposed to let the people of Forget Worry City live in Spirit City temporarily, he even felt a sense of relief.
The journey from Forgotten Worry City to Spirit City took half a month, and considering the migration of so many people, it must have taken more time. But in the case that it was impossible for Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan to give up the Spirit City to help others, the whole city relocation was the best way.
After only a little consideration, Guan Yue agreed to Rong Yuan's suggestion. Once the migration is determined, the troublesome part, all that remains is persuasion.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, a city-wide meeting was held in Guan Yue, and he said in front of the city lord's mansion that he would temporarily move the city of forgetting worries to Lingcheng, and when the beast tide passed and came back, he did not encounter any opposition. Even when he said his decision with trepidation, the crowd erupted in strong cheers.
