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 emperor of the Marfa Continent, and it is also the seat of the spiritual power of the entire Marfa Continent - the Biqi Palace.

In stark contrast to this majestic building, it is the weak light that can't help the wind, which is far less bright than on the city wall, from the palace gate into the long corridor of the council hall, there are two faint weak lamps from time to time, reflecting the basic wheel corridor of the corridor, ** is pitch black, except in the council hall, the lights are bright.

Through the hollow lattice window, what comes into view is a huge hall, the marble floor, the giant pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, the deep and wide dome, a high platform of nine steps stands in the middle of the north wall of the hall, and on the top of the steps there is a large chair with a dragon head on the north side, a gray-haired old woman is sitting on it, holding the armrest of the dragon head chair with one hand, covering her mouth with the other hand and coughing her head constantly, and the whole hall is her rapid gasping sound. 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 already very sick, and the old man had just raised his head and was about to say something, but he felt an itch in his throat, and he couldn't help but lower his 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, and the three of them looked at the old man together, with the same worry on their faces. 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 white flowers in his eyes.

The old woman who was called the emperor kept coughing, and when she heard the middle-aged man's words, she seemed to want to say something, but because her breath was not smooth, she coughed even more, and the middle-aged man couldn't help it anymore, and turned back to the other two and said, "Second brother, third brother, you help the emperor go down to 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 was already in tears at this time: "Emperor, you are the spiritual pillar of the Marfa Continent, but you must not have anything to do!"

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, these demon armies did not appear out of nowhere, I have long been aware of the danger, but I have ignored this danger, so that today's disaster has occurred." 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 with the exhaustion of the past ten days, her energy and physical strength have long been exhausted, and the spiritual leader of the Marfa Continent is 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 Beach 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, the moat outside the city has long been stained red with blood, and the corpses are all over the city.

"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. 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, Lan Tian is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and now he has 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 get out, people are coming a long time ago, you don't need us to invite, people don't come, you can't pick up even if you carry eight sedan chairs." "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 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." ”

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but think about it carefully, and felt that this was indeed the case. Long Wu patted his leg and said, "Why haven't I thought about it properly." Can...... But how could these demon armies be so powerful that they could attack our three cities at the same time, and they wouldn't give us a chance to join forces. ”

"Yes, without reinforcements, how can you hold on to a lonely city. Emperor, what the hell 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 had fallen asleep, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, but they didn't understand what it meant.

A dawn broke through the silent night, and the majestic and magnificent Biqi City also retreated from the black veil that was caged on the body, and was truly and clearly presented in the first ray of sunlight in the early morning, the towering and continuous city walls, the slightly upturned corner towers on the roof, the palace with red walls and blue tiles, and the intricate and orderly houses, the whole city stood in the center of the vast Biqi Plain like a dragon and a tiger, which was 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 could only stop at the city of Biqi, but the strong attack power of the stone people also made the Biqi people dare not relax in the slightest, because they almost broke through the city gate on the first day of the siege. In the end, the Biqi people had to put down the dragon gate stones of the four city gates to completely seal the city gates, and the meteor stood on the gatehouse with purgatory on his shoulder, which was much easier than the battle saint and the dragon martial arts.

In the east of the city, the hunting banner whirred in the morning wind, and this was the weakest point in the entire Biqi defense, 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 hovered on the other side of the moat to make a feint. As a result, the number of Biqi on the city walls was very small, and it was 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 horn sound of "woo, woo..." echoed over the Biqi Plain from near to far, and from far to near, making the rising sun also smeared with a layer of bleak and desolate.
