Chapter 298: The City Perished
"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!"
"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!"
"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!"
As the general's words fell, the entire Tenglong City suddenly boiled, as the general said, they had no way to retreat at all, either die in battle or wait for death, the only choice they had was death.
Run away?
In this empty field, who can run past the beast?
Now the only way is to resist the city, their relatives and children are in the city, even if it costs their lives, they must fight, without supervision, they are ready to fight against the water.
"What are we going to do now?"
Barrens frowned and looked at the beast tide that was about to arrive, although he was already afraid to stay in Tenglong City, but Tenglong City was half of his home after all, and let this home be ruined in the hands of the Demon Beast, how could he accept it.
"It's just war!"
Garion said solemnly: "The four city gates have been sealed, even if you can escape from the city, it is impossible to escape from the attacks of countless demonic beasts, and now the only hope is to stay in the city, and if you are lucky, you can escape the catastrophe." β
"You're saying we can hold the city?" said a glimmer of hope in Barrens' eyes.
Garion glanced at Barrens with disdain, but did not answer.
Barronston grabbed Garion by the collar and said, "Little ghost, I've put up with you for a long time, your caring eyes have been getting more and more frequent recently, if you're like this, don't blame me for being polite." β
"Do you think you can defeat me?"
Apparently unafraid of Barrens' threat, Garion escaped Barrens's entanglement and despised Barrens with even more idiotic eyes, but Barrens had nothing to do.
"Alright, alright. β
Coria hurriedly made a round and said: "What Garian means is just that Tenglong City is absolutely undefensible, and our only hope for survival is to use the city's terrain to avoid this catastrophe, after all, our strength is much stronger than the professionals in the city, and it is not difficult to save our lives." β
"Sure enough, Sister Coriya is the smartest, unlike some simple-minded guy with developed limbs. Garion grimaced at Barrons, apparently agreeing with Corria.
"Don't be too complacent, little ghost!"
Instead of paying attention to Garion, Barence turned to look at the houses of Dragon City that were temporarily full of harmony, this row of buildings was all that was in Dragon City, but how much could be preserved in a few minutes?
Naturally, he thought of Garion's statement.
It's just that Barrens doesn't want to admit that the dragon city that he thinks is half of his home is about to be destroyed, and it is obvious that Garion and Corria are much more rational than self-deception.
But!
Is he not the only one who deceives himself?
Who of the professionals present is not deceiving themselves?
All the professionals who have seen the beast tide understand that it is absolutely impossible for them to defend Tenglong City, but they deceive themselves and shout slogans, choosing to fight to the end, low-level professionals are still like this, and now let him, a platinum-level professional, do things that make a living, how can he accept this?
"What's the difference between us and them?"
"Why can we run away with dignity and everyone can't live with you? Isn't it what we should do as the strong to protect the peace of the weak?"
He didn't say the second half of the sentence, he never knew what choice he should make, whether to fight them here to the end, or abandon them and survive.
Garion and Corria glanced at each other.
Of course, they understand Barrens's troubles, but staying and fighting will only turn into a meaningless death, with their strength, they can definitely live easily, but Barrens is too kind.
"Barrons!"
Garian is preparing to be the bad guy and give Barrens an excuse to run away.
But!
At this moment, Coria suddenly stood up, she looked at Barrens with complicated feelings that she had never felt before, and said, "Barens, what I want to tell you is that the most fundamental difference between us and them is that we are strong and they are weak. β
"And the weakβ"
As if from the proverbs of the devil of hell, Coria said in a sharp tone: "And the weak, they can't even choose the way to die-"
The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.
This is the eternal rule, as a weakling, I am afraid you can't even choose the way to die, this is an indisputable fact, this used to be the way of survival that Coria's father told him, she was originally kind and experienced everything is quietly changing.
"The weak do not deserve to be pitied. β
Ke Liya looked at the bronze and silver professionals behind her with pitiful eyes, as well as the ordinary people with sad faces, and said: "All the powerlessness is due to the lack of ability of the parties, and they can't blame anyone for coming here." β
"Coria!"
Barrens suddenly raised his voice and said: "When did you become so ruthless, where is the kindness you once gave me redemption, don't forget, strictly speaking, we are also weak, shouldn't the weak huddle together for warmth?!"
"So-"
Ke Liya ruthlessly looked at the person behind him who was high-spirited, but was about to die, and said: "I want to become a strong man, at least I must have the freedom to choose the way of death, I already hate my powerlessness, if the weak can live if they are warm together, then I would rather choose to die alone, this is at least the way I choose to die!"
With that, Coria turned around and jumped off the tower, running towards the tallest building in the distance.
Garian glanced at Barrens, sighed helplessly and said: "Big man, don't be hypocritical, maybe what you said is right, but as Sister Corria said, if you want to choose, I would rather choose to die alone, the weak huddle together for warmth or something, it's just a scam, no one in this world can be trusted, even if it's your biological parents, for me, the only thing I can believe in is myself." β
The words fell, and he turned to leave.
Garion, who was once abandoned by his family and his clan, will not trust anyone, because there is no betrayal without believing, and those who believe in others will eventually die at the hands of believing, which is no different from drowning in the water of a good waterman.
Lin Bai's death made him even more convinced of this.
The only thing that could make him believe was Coria, and although he guessed that one day he might die at the hands of this believer, if it was, he could accept it.
The two drifted apart.
Barrens suddenly moved, and he finally chose the choice of Corria and Garion.
It's not that he doesn't think the weak deserve pity, it's just that for him, Coria is the most important thing, and if it weren't for Coria, then he might have stayed with them to fight and die.
But!
Before protecting the weak, what Barrens prefers to do is to protect the safety of Corria alone.
Therefore!
The rebellious swordsman who betrayed the long sword in his hand once again betrayed the choice in his heart, and finally abandoned the belief that he wanted to protect the weak, and chose to enshrine a young girl as a higher faith.
With the sound of the voice, his figure had disappeared.
- "Defend your homeland today!"
With the shout, the city gate was shattered in an instant, and the demonic beasts poured into the city like a tide, and the heavy city walls even broke through the panicked demonic beasts, and the last fig leaf of Tenglong City was completely shattered.
This is a completely one-sided massacre!
The number of Warcraft is as high as 10 million, for a seventh-tier small city, it is completely a nuclear bomb, and it doesn't even take half a day to destroy this small city, and Warcraft is a bloodthirsty creature.
Therefore.
Wherever the monster goes, not a single grass grows!
Shouts, screams, battles, fears, shattering...... The chaotic music of death echoed in Tenglong City, a seven-tier city that had stood for thousands of years and finally came to an end.
Dusk is approaching.
When the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the spilled land, the voices of the crowd are gone, and all that shines in the afterglow of the setting sun is the broken buildings, the broken corpses, and the blood of the weak.
- You can't even choose the way to die.
Seeing the death of a living person like this, there was no longer any pity in Ke Liya's eyes, she accompanied the fishy evening breeze, and said leisurely, "Father, you are right, the power of this world is the eternal theme, I want to be strong, I must become strong!"
The three of them survived.
When the monsters entered the city, they relied on their strong strength, jumping back and forth between the buildings, dodging the attacks of the monsters, and finally survived, after all, although the monsters were bloodthirsty, they would not be left behind.
It took a total of three hours to destroy Dragon City.
As above the gold, as long as they don't provoke the high-level demonic beasts, they can survive if they simply run away for three hours, but the professionals under the gold can't survive the beast tide.
It's already a dead city!
The only people who could survive were the three of Keliya, as well as the few mercenaries above the Golden Rank who had just left, and in addition, even the city lord had not escaped this catastrophe!
"Ba, Barrons, are youβare you alright?"
Garion couldn't help but exclaim, because although Barrens didn't cry, a line of tears came out of his eyes.
"It's just a little sad. β
Barrens wiped away his tears and said: "Coriya, I'm very sorry, even now, I still feel that protecting the peace of the weak is what the strong should do, so I want to become stronger, if I have the strength of Mr. Lin Bai, how can tens of thousands of demonic beasts make us so desperate." β
"So-"
Ke Liya restrained all her expressions, she looked at the sunset and said leisurely: "Strength is the theme of this world, but most people forget that any dream, any desire, any belief is based on strength, so if I want to be strong, I must become strong!"
- "Even if it's just a matter of choosing the way you want to die." β
