522 Ed Defense Line (II)
"Close, close?" the young guard wondered if he had misheard, and was a little confused, "but there were so many people outside. ”
"Listen, we can't let the dragons go through this barrier. The chief guard said coldly, "Alder still needs time to prepare, and the longer the [Elder Line] exists, the better." ”
The captain of the guard shouted for the guards on the line to close the door as he spoke. But the door didn't close so easily, and the frightened crowd rushed to the line of defense like crazy, and slammed the door to the sides. The captain of the guard cursed secretly, and then out of nowhere he moved out of nowhere a silver metal box with a lifelike sunflower carved on it.
Thinking of something, the young guard grabbed the guard chief's arm and said, "This is a weapon used against the dragons. ”
"It works better for humans. The head of the guard said coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to kill them, but keep them away from the line." ”
"What's the difference between that and killing them!" shouted the young guard, "we should let them all in!"
The captain of the guard glared at him, grabbed the young guard by the collar, and pressed him against the wooden wall. The strength of the two was obviously not of the same level, and the young guard had heard that the captain of the guard was a hunter who had hunted dragon hunters, so he couldn't understand why such a person would make such a cruel decision.
"Listen, young man. The captain of the guard said viciously, "What do you think you're doing? Kindness? How many of us do you think we have here? Do you think we'll be able to stop the dragon by letting these people through? Do you know what the consequences of the collapse of the [Elder Line] will be?
The young guard was speechless with a series of rhetorical questions, and indeed he didn't know any of these things. He just couldn't convince himself to watch these outcasts being killed one by one by the vicious dragons.
The captain of the guard read something out of his eyes. In fact, he could understand that this young guard, if it wasn't for the end of the world, this young man would still act as a patrol-like figure in a certain town, protecting the safety of the townspeople. But he's different, he's a hunter, he's seen his companions killed by dragons, he knows what kind of race it is, and he knows what a disaster it would be to release these guys into Alder, who wasn't ready.
The small family and everyone must always discard one.
"No matter what you think, I'll do it. The captain of the guard let go of the collar of the young guard, "In three minutes I will throw smoke grenades to disperse the displaced people near the defensive line, and then close the door, in the meantime, if you want to save people, do your best to save them." After three minutes there was no chance. ”
The young guard didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth, and ran towards the gate. The captain of the guard took a deep breath, then opened the metal box, and all kinds of source stones appeared in his eyes, these alchemy weapons were originally intended to fight against the dragon clan, but now they are going to fight against their own compatriots.
"Axia, Koharu. The captain of the guard shouted at the top, "Set up a crossbow to cover the retreat of the homeless, the time limit is three minutes!"
......
People have gone crazy. This was the only thought in Carlo's heart, his luggage was squeezed out, and the only one still in his hand was Lily, who had never seen such a battle, and she hugged Carlo's neck and didn't dare to let go, her clear eyes were full of fear.
He was less than five meters away from the exit, only a dozen steps away, but he walked with great difficulty. With his daughter in his arms, he couldn't squeeze through the people who came up from behind, so he didn't even feel like he was getting farther and farther away from the exit.
At this time, he saw a guard climb the mountain rock next to him and shouted to the crowd: "Don't crowd, come in line!"
It's a pity that no one listened to him and continued to squeeze in the direction of the gate. The guard was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do, his eyes kept glancing over the line, and Carlo looked up and saw that the giant crossbow on the line had been used. It's just that the dragon that attacked the crowd never flew into the sky, and was still raging in the crowd, and the giant crossbow couldn't find its target.
"Carlo, help me!"
A hoarse voice sounded beside Carlo, who turned his head and saw Barov. The latter is being carried farther and farther away by the crowd, and it looks like it is about to be pushed to the side of the tiger bear. Carlo did not hesitate, hurried over and grabbed his hand and pulled him forward.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!" the young guard still shouted, "Let the women and girls go first!
Still no one paid attention to him, and he was also in a hurry, and directly kicked down a few crazy strong men, because they had just pushed a few women to the back. Seeing hope, Carlo yelled at the guards, "Hey, help my daughter, there's an old man here, let them go first!"
The young guard heard Carlo's words, hesitated, climbed the mountain rock on the side to the top of Carlo, and stretched out his hand to him: "Give me your child!"
Carlo hurriedly lifted Lily high, but Lily was unwilling to leave her father, and still held Carlo's neck and did not let go.
"Obedient. Carlo reassured, "You go in first, and Daddy will be in soon." ”
"Really, really?"
"Of course, when did I lie to you. "Trust me, these people can't squeeze me." ”
Lily hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and nodded, letting the young guard take her. Carlo turned around again and picked up Barov, the old man who was no longer heavy, and was soon sent to the young guard in the same way.
"You're a good man, kid. Barov said, "Heaven will bless you." ”
Carlo squeezed out a smile with great difficulty, didn't say anything, just looked at the young guard, and whispered, "Please help me take care of them." ”
The young guard nodded solemnly, "I will definitely bring them to Alder." ”
The eyes of the two men met here, and one sentence was enough for both parties to understand each other's minds. The young guard, knowing that time was pressing, walked towards the line with the old and the young. During this time, Lily shouted something at Carlo, but Carlo couldn't hear it, and the childish child's voice was silenced by the noise.
......
"It's time. ”
The captain of the guard watched as the young guard brought the old and the young into the line of defense, and ordered the door to be closed. Before the young guard could speak, he saw the guard above throw a few source stones into the crowd. Soon, the gray smoke engulfed the defensive line, and the smoke was tear-jerking, and the people crowded in front of the gate had to disperse.
Lily realized something, jumped out of the young guard's arms, and ran outside, but Barov held her back.
"Daddy!"
In Lily's heart-rending cry, the door slowly shut, and Barov held Lily in his arms. The young guard opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. The people who survived hugged each other in twos and threes, listening to the terrible wails outside the defense line, and smelling the disgusting smell of blood coming from all directions.
