Bizi Province

Intramuros

A royal city that burns like fire at night

Torches everywhere reflected the dark sky, and illuminated the inside and outside of the royal city as if it were day.

The majestic walls dragged a long black shadow on the ground, and the time was short under the jump of the firelight.

The walls were full of bruised, exhausted Bizi. Under the city walls, beyond the long black shadow on the ground, in the distance were a dense number of dim small lights. This lamp is different from the lamp in the city, and the ghostly light emitted by this lamp makes people shudder, and the coldness is full of hatred.

In the upper left corner of the royal city, there is a majestic building, although the night is shrouded, but it still does not lose its majesty and solemnity. This is the residence of the ruler of the Marfa Continent, the Emperor, and the seat of the human spiritual power of the entire Marfa Continent - the Biqi Palace.

In stark contrast to this majestic building, there is a weak light, which is far less bright than on the city wall, and on the long corridor from the palace gate into the council hall, there are two faint weak lamps that are dim and bright, reflecting the basic wheel corridor of the corridor, and the surroundings are pitch black, except in the council hall, the lights are bright.

Standing on the stone steps of the conference hall, through the hollow lattice window, you will see a huge hall, with a marble floor, huge pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, and a deep and wide dome. There is solemnity in solemnity, and there is a majesty in solemnity.

A nine-step platform stood in the middle of the north wall of the hall, and on the top of the steps, facing south and back, there was a large chair with white hair, on which an old woman with white hair was sitting, holding the armrest of the chair with one hand, covering her mouth with the other hand and coughing her head down, and the whole hall was filled with her rapid gasp.

After a long time, the old man barely breathed and raised his head slightly, which were a pair of kind and wise eyes. At this time, there is a lot of worry. Lahuang's face just confirmed her rapid cough. It seemed that she was very sick, and she had just raised her head to say something, but she felt an itch in her throat, and she couldn't help but lower her head and cough again.

At the foot of the steps, there stood two middle-aged men and a young man, all dressed in turquoise armor, thick and straight, with dots of blood still remaining on them. The three of them looked at the old man together, their faces unanimously worried. The middle-aged man who was finally standing at the front couldn't help but take two steps forward, and the armor on his body immediately 'clanged', and said loudly: "Emperor, please go back and rest, you are going on like this, how can your body hold on!" This is a resolute face like copper cast iron, but at this time, there are clear white flowers in his eyes.

The old woman who was called the emperor kept coughing, and when she heard the words of the middle-aged man, she seemed to want to say something, but because of her bad breath, she coughed even more violently. The middle-aged man couldn't hold back any longer, and turned back to the other two and said, "Second brother, third brother, you help the emperor to go down and rest." When the two people next to them heard this, they quickly stepped forward and were about to go up the steps, but the old man stretched out his hand to cover his mouth to stop them, and the two had to retreat back when they saw this.

After a while, the old man seemed to exert a lot of strength before he calmed down his cough and said slowly: "Now that the enemy is present, how can I rest?"

The young man among the three of them had tears in his eyes at this time: "Emperor, you are our leader and our spiritual pillar, and everyone has resisted so hard until now because of you." You can't do anything!"

The old man smiled hard and said, "Life and death can be forced, but it is really my fault to leave you such a situation." ”

The young man hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, how can I blame you, the enemy suddenly attacked without warning, you shouldn't have all this on your shoulders." ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "Everything has a cause and effect, and these demon armies didn't come out of nowhere. In fact, I was aware of the danger for a long time, but I ignored it and led to the disaster I am today. I am the emperor, and all this should naturally be borne by me. After this long series of words, the old man coughed sharply again.

This old woman is none other than the supreme ruler of the Marfa continent, the Emperor. She is already old and frail, and the exhaustion of the past ten days has already exhausted her energy and physical strength, and the spiritual leader of the Marfa Continent is now like a candle in the wind, and the western mountains are getting weaker.

Among the three people under the steps, the first middle-aged man to speak is the city lord of Biqi City - the war saint, another middle-aged name is Ri Longwu, the ancestors of the previous generation made a living by striking iron, so he achieved his body of steel and iron bones, and became a figure above and below the two people in Biqi City, a young meteor, the rising star of Biqi City, a purgatory axe makes it superb, and there is a faint wind of the city lord. Although these three people have different surnames, they are the life and death brothers of the righteous knot Jin Lan, and it is under the leadership of this 'golden' triangle that Beechcraft City has survived the difficult ten days under the siege of the demon army.

When the War Saint heard the Emperor's words, he was puzzled: "You have long been aware of the danger, what is going on?"

The emperor stopped coughing, lowered his head and said slowly: "Heaven and earth are changing, nature is out of balance, and before this, there were frequent disasters in the Marfa Continent, but these disasters did not touch our roots, so they did not attract our attention." ”

When the War Saint heard this, he said thoughtfully, "Are you saying that this Demon Army's attack is the general outbreak of those previous disasters?"

The emperor nodded slightly.

The meteor next to him didn't understand, and asked, "What does this demon army in front of you have to do with those disasters?"

The War Saint glanced at the Emperor, turned sideways and took over the topic: "Over the past thousand years, human beings have encountered several catastrophes, and before each catastrophe, there are countless signs, if human beings were more awake at that time, there would be no invasion of the Ice and Snow Demon King, the invasion of the Fire Dragon Sect Master, and the wreak havoc of the Demon Dragon Sect Master. And this time, we made the same mistake. ”

"You, you're saying history is going to play out again. Meteor said in surprise. He also knows a little about the history of the Marfa continent.

The Battle Saint turned his face and looked at Meteor and said, "The current situation outside, isn't it still counted?"

Meteor couldn't help but be dumbfounded, now Biqi City is surrounded by enemies, the north is the Walmart Legion composed of mutant sheep, the south is the Zuma Legion composed of stone people, the west is the Viper Legion composed of mutated wild boars, and the east is the Centipede Legion composed of mutant insects, and the fierce battle for more than ten days in a row, the Biqi people have suffered more than half of the casualties, and the moat outside the city has long been stained red with blood, and the city is full of corpses.

"Then what should we do now?" Long Wu was bored for a long time before finally asking.

"Hold on and wait for help. The emperor replied softly.

"Since the first day, we have been waiting for reinforcements, but after more than ten days, we haven't even seen a shadow of reinforcements.

"It may be that the two cities of Sealing Demon and Cangyue don't know the news of our attack at all. Meteor clattered.

"This is, Cangyue City is far away, the Sealed Demon City is not far from us, if they are willing to come, they should have arrived a long time ago, in my opinion, they must be afraid of these demon armies. The turtle cowered in his own city and did not dare to come out. Long Wu's temper is the hottest of the three, and his temperament is also the most straightforward, this idea has been suppressed in his heart for a long time, and now he finally can't help but say it.

"No, neither the blue sky nor the waves are greedy for life and afraid of death, and now they have not come for a long time, there must be other reasons. The Battle Saint vetoed Long Wu's words, paused and said, "But we can't blindly defend it, we still have to send someone out to get in touch with them." ”

"Go out? Now it's surrounded like a bucket, how can you go out, people are going to come a long time ago, you don't need us to invite, people don't come, you just carry eight sedan chairs to pick it up. "Once an idea is formed in people's minds, it is difficult to change, and this is the case with Longwu now.

"They must have encountered the demon army as well. The emperor interrupted them and said slowly.

"What? They also encountered the Demon Army?" although these words came from the mouth of the Emperor with the strongest perception ability in the entire Marfa Continent. The three people under the stairs still couldn't believe it, and they looked at each other for a while, unable to make a sound.

The emperor saw the thoughts of the three of them, and said slowly: "This is not from my hunch, as long as you analyze it carefully, you will understand that if these demon armies do not have enough troops, they will never take the liberty of attacking the fortified Biqi City first." ”

The three of them thought carefully when they heard the words, and felt that the emperor's words were not unreasonable. Long Wu patted his leg and said, "Why haven't I thought about it properly." Can...... But how could there be so many demon lords, competing to attack our three cities at the same time, they don't give us a chance to join forces. ”

"Yes, without reinforcements, how can you hold on to a lonely city. Emperor, what are we going to do?" Meteor asked worriedly.

The emperor raised his head vigorously, looked at the three people below, and said slowly again: "Hold on and wait for help." ”

"But didn't they also encounter the Demon Army, and what reinforcements can we wait for?" Meteor asked, puzzled.

"They're coming, they're coming. The emperor's voice was getting smaller and quieter, leaning back slightly, and gently closing her eyes, she had talked too much this night, and she needed a good rest.

Seeing this, the three of them were inconvenient to ask anything, and were slowly retreating towards the outside of the hall in a soft voice, when they suddenly heard the emperor whisper softly: "Remember, the source of this demon army is in the east, in the east. The three of them looked back, and the emperor closed his eyes and lowered his head to lean on the dragon chair, his spirit was very sluggish. I couldn't help but look at each other, but I didn't understand what it meant.

A ray of dawn pierced the silent night, and the majestic Biqi City also retreated from the black veil that was wrapped around its body. It is truly and clearly presented in the first rays of sunlight in the morning. The majestic continuous city walls, the slightly upturned corner towers on the roof, the red-walled and blue-tiled palaces, and the intricate and orderly private houses, the whole city stands like a dragon and a tiger in the center of the vast Biqi Plain, which is magnificent.

On the city wall in the north of the city, the Biqi people lined up in a neat formation and were ready to fight, and on the gatehouse, the war saint stood in the wind with his eyes like a square. Under the city, the awakened Volma Legion is arranging its troops, preparing to launch a new attack.

In the west of the city, the mutated boars of the Viper Legion, holding their black maces, have been attacking the city for more than ten consecutive days, which has made them extremely crazy. In the city, Long Wu's eyes were wide with anger, and the Biqi people were rubbing their hands.

In the south of the city, the stone men could easily drown from the bottom of the moat to the bottom of the city to the city of Biqi, but they could not overcome the tall and strong walls of the city. Because the wooden ladder and Ben could not bear their heavy bodies, and the joints connected by square stones were also destined to make them unable to build the human ladder. As a result, they can only stop at Biqi City. However, the strong attack power of the stone people also made the Biqi people dare not relax in the slightest, because it was they who broke through the city gate on the first day of the siege. The Biqi people had to hastily put down the dragon gate stones of the four city gates in order to completely seal the city gates. Meteor stood on the gatehouse with Purgatory on his shoulder, much more relaxed than the Battle Saint and Long Wulai.

In the east of the city, the hunting battle flag whirred in the morning breeze, and this was the weakest place in the entire defense of Biqi City, because since the start of the war, the mutant pincers and giant worms of the centipede legion had never launched a real attack on Biqi City, and most of the time they only wandered on the other side of the moat to make a feint. As a result, the number of Biqi on the city wall is very small, and it is only used for surveillance.

As the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, it also opened the prelude to the new day of the demon army's attack, and the sound of the horn "Woo, woo...", echoed over the Biqi Plain from near and far, and from far to near, making the rising sun also smeared with a bleak and cool color.
