Chapter 0454: The Last Retreat
At first, everyone was a little flustered, and they didn't know why, but they soon showed a sudden look, and then calmed down, which made Xia Qingyang more and more sure of his speculation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
He almost immediately figured out the cause of the anomaly, which was caused by the massive demon beast herd rushing at high speed, but it was very unlikely that all two thousand people would make the right judgment so quickly, unless they had also experienced it.
From this, there is only one possibility, at least the vast majority of these people are from the border guards, so they can make judgments so quickly, and they are not aware of it beforehand, but they have already guessed.
Xia Qingyang also noticed that Mingyue and the others were not surprised by this, it was obviously something they expected, although Su Yunxian and An Xiaoxie stopped fighting, they also did not show a surprised look.
For some reason, Mingyue and the three of them were silent for a while before reacting, and Yutai Hongyue raised his voice: "Please withdraw one after another, and cooperate with the Praetorian Guard to restrain people outside from acting without authorization." โ
The crowd began to withdraw from the mountain in an orderly manner through the only entrance, and Xia Qingyang could almost conclude that these people, if not all of them, were from the border guards, they must have received systematic training from the army.
Xia Qingyang deliberately fell last, approaching Su Yunxian and the others, and asked them about the sound, but he didn't get much response, An Xiaoxiao just said quickly: "When the time comes, just act when the opportunity comes." โ
In desperation, he could only hold back the doubts in his heart for the time being, and walked outside.
At this time, there was already a mess outside, the soul master was better, most of those caravans had never experienced this kind of scene, especially when they knew that it was likely to be a herd of beasts, they were all like earth, and they didn't know what to do at all, and some timid women were directly scared and cried, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
But almost no one fled, because they couldn't even figure out which direction they were fleeing, and there were voices on all sides, which were supposed to be in charge of sustaining
At this time, Yutai Hongyue became the most important person on the scene, because of his special identity and the Praetorian Guard, at critical moments, people are always willing to believe the military or the official, so it is he who stands up and speaks instead of the more amiable Hai Dongqing.
"Don't panic, let alone act without permission, the movements of the beasts have long been grasped by us, but the speed is faster than we expected, but please rest assured, I will definitely take you out of danger. "Yutai Hongyue's voice is not hurried, and her expression is calm and calm, which makes people feel a lot more at ease.
Soon after he finished speaking, a bird appeared in the air in the distance, and then the shadow of a bird appeared in all directions.
The crowd stirred up again, and Hongyue explained: "That's our people, and the news is here." โ
The crowd fell silent again, holding their breath and staring up at the birds that gradually became clearer, and the people sitting on the birds, although the words of Yutai Hongyue made them temporarily settle, they still couldn't eliminate the tension in their hearts.
The fastest bird came from the north, and when it was still dozens of zhang high from the ground, the people above shouted urgently: "There is an army of 100,000 bear clans in the north, ten miles away from here!"
The bear clan is the big clan of the beast clan in the northern Xinjiang, and its combat effectiveness is very fierce, just this 100,000 army is enough to completely eat the people here, and the distance of ten miles is nothing at all, and the atmosphere has become tense again.
Then a roar sounded in the air in the west: "There is an army of 100,000 tigers in the west, fifteen miles away from here!"
Then a voice came from the east: "There is an army of 100,000 deer clans in the east, twelve miles away from here!"
The army on three sides is surrounded, and they are all heavy soldiers of the beast clan, even if the nearly 100,000 people present are all border guards, they have no chance of winning, not to mention the complex personnel and low combat effectiveness.
"Run southโ" the people shouted, crying.
"To the south is the Moruo Mountains, so it's right to run south. "Someone cheers themselves up.
But no one moved, but anyone with a little brain would think that since the beast clan was so mobilized, the first thing to do was to block their way to Kyushu.
Sure enough, the voice of the south sounded at the end, but it was extremely loud: "There is an army of 50,000 birds in the south, thirty miles away from here. โ
Many people were refreshed when they heard this, there were only 50,000 people, and they were all birds and birds, all of them were heavenly guys, and the terrain in the northern frontier was complicated, and there were many places to cover, wouldn't it be easy to get through? Moreover, the distance was still very far.
But seeing that there are many people with extremely solemn expressions, they immediately reacted, the distance of the bird tribe is not because they are slow, but because they have not moved at all, thirty miles is the distance between this place and the Moruo Mountains, and people are waiting for work.
As for hiding from the eyes of the fowl tribe, it is even more whimsical, what the fowl race relies on to eat, depending on the familiarity of the human race with the terrain of northern Xinjiang, there is really not much difference between playing cat catching and sending the bird to death.
Fifty thousand birds sounds like a small number, but in fact, with their terrifying speed and air-to-ground superiority, it is simply an impossible blockade to break through.
The despair instantly spread, and there were heavy beast soldiers on all sides, where to flee? It was useless to fly to the sky, and if you couldn't escape from the ground, could you only wait for death in the same place?
Despair was followed by anger, and just as the anger was about to explode at the Hongyue Mountain, the Hongyue raised her voice and shouted: "Forty miles to the southeast, there is the control of the Ningzhou Border Guards, and it is impossible for the Bird Clan to occupy it, and we can withdraw from there into the Moruo Mountains." โ
The sudden good news made the crowd instantly excited, like suddenly seeing a driftwood within reach in the rushing river, the relief and joy are indescribable.
However, the informant's words extinguished all hope and ignited their endless anger, but this anger was no longer directed at the Hongyue and the Imperial Dynasty.
"The border defense system there has been destroyed by the Ning family's troops, and the 100,000 border guards who have died and fled have completely collapsed, and now they have been blocked by the bird tribe. โ
"How is this possible! The Ning family is so bold! What are they trying to do!"
"The Ning family is going to suffer retribution, it's really thunder and thunderโ"
"Terran traitor!"
The cursing was endless, and angry flames were almost erupting from everyone's noses, if the Ning family was in front of them, even if they were one of the eight major families that had been inheriting the power of Kyushu for a long time, even if they had countless masters, this group of people would definitely rush forward with red eyes and fight hard.
Xia Qingyang frowned and pondered, but did not forget to observe, Mingyue and Hai Dongqing's faces were solemn, but they were only solemn, and there was nothing else, but the expression of Yutai Hongyue was much more exciting, dignified, surprised, angry, and a trace of mockery that was well concealed, all of which were captured by Xia Qingyang one by one.
Su Yunxian and An Xiaoxie were not only dignified, but also had a little more stunned, obviously they had mastered most of the situation in advance, but there was still an accident, and this accident was probably the Ning family's matter, so they looked at Hai Dongqing and the others, but hesitated for a moment, and still didn't say anything.
Gradually, the cursing was mixed with more cries and shouts of despair, and some people began to turn the finger at the three of them, because it was obvious that they also had unshirkable responsibilities for the current situation, and the so-called comprehensive plan seemed to be very sloppy.
Then Hai Dongqing stood up and was about to say something.
There was still a little more patience with this mild-mannered young master, and the noise was noticeably quieter, and as he spoke, it became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this situation is surprising and painful, but we are not without a way out. โ
The nerves of the crowd were already tortured and some of them were slow to react, so there was silence at the scene after hearing this.
"And this retreat is in the middle of this mountain. Hai Dongqing stretched out his hand and pointed to the entrance of the mountainside behind him.
The crowd finally reacted, and then, like a volcano, the river bank burst, like a torrent rushing towards the entrance.
Mingyue and Yutai Hongyue frowned, but Hai Dongqing was still calm, and he said slowly: "That's a Yellow Spring Hell. โ
Then everyone stopped.
It was the soul masters who didn't hesitate to stop immediately, because they knew what the Yellow Spring Earth Demon was, for the perfect soul master who was about to enter the realm, it was almost equivalent to a gift from heaven, but for other soul masters, it was tantamount to the real Yellow Spring.
The rest of the people stopped for two reasons, one was because of the fear of the word Huangquan, and the other was because others stopped and followed the good flow.
In short, no one went any further.
At this time, Hai Dongqing continued: "The Yellow Springs Earth Demon is very dangerous, and the same is true for the Beast Clan, but the Yellow Spring Earth Demon is not very large, and the corpses of 100,000 demon beasts are enough to fill it. โ
Everyone was shocked and speechless: I was lucky not to become one of the corpses of the sinkhole, where to get the corpses of 100,000 demon beasts?
The dust was flying in the distance, the ground shook more and more violently, and the orc army was already infinitely closer, and the crowd was terrified again.
Yutai Hongyue raised his voice and shouted: "Please cooperate with the command of the Praetorian Guard, enter the mountain one after another, we have set up a formation at the entrance, and when 100,000 demon beasts chase the entrance, it will be closed, and even more demon beasts will not be able to enter at that time." โ
Hai Dongqing continued: "There is no other way, if it weren't for the accident of the original retreat route, we would never use this retreat, but please rest assured, 100,000 demon beasts don't need you to make a move, we have already made arrangements." โ
Someone shouted: "Where is this, everyone came here to kill demon beasts, and now it is to save their lives, how can it be reasonable to be a bystander, please arrange for us to take action at that time." โ
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted a lot of echoes, and even many caravans also expressed their attitudes, not that they suddenly became enthusiastic, but that they knew very well that if they did not do their best at this time to increase the probability of success as much as possible, once there was a mistake, it would be a catastrophe for them.
The matter has come to this point, there is no other way, Yutai Hongyue waved his hand, the Praetorian Guards quickly dispersed, and the crowd of leaders began to enter the mountain.
