Chapter 8: Counterattack! Despair?
Yang Xuan and the others were ordered not to fight, and they gathered in a refuge in the small hills of the city, which had long been hollowed out, a huge cave large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Together with the old and weak women and children, the pioneers belonged to the city, and since they became the pioneers, they no longer belonged to any city.
The dense crowd, but not chaotic, was also very quiet, women and children waited for their warriors to expel the invaders, and this group of young pioneers could only be protected here as old and weak women and children, and everyone had helplessness and anger on their faces.
Gnash one's teeth. A proud warrior would not allow any foreigner to step into the city he defended so easily.
Cheng Nanjing lowered his head and wiped his weapon, and they dodged the roof of the house where the guards hid at the foot of the mountain.
"Why don't you kill it?" Wang Jing looked at Yang Xuan quietly.
"Wait, going in now will only disrupt the rhythm of the city lord's defense. Yang Xuan said, his eyes never leaving the gap in the city wall.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's our base!" Hang Yu said in a cold voice, his voice was so cold.
"You're here, Mo Ren, you're in a hurry when I didn't see you. A figure jumped onto the roof where Yang Xuan and the others were hiding, and Yang Xuan and the others took out their weapons, which turned out to be Mo Ren's father, Mo Neng.
Mo Neng looked at Cheng Nanjing, who continued to bow his head and wipe his weapon, and Mo Ren, who was not surprised by him, and said, "Go back quickly, this is not the time for you to fight." The lord of the castle will settle it. ”
Mo couldn't look at the crowd that no longer paid attention to him, so he could only laugh dryly, hiding his embarrassment.
"Well, since you're not going back, I'm here to watch you. ”
At this time, the counterattack has begun, and the orc soldiers continue to encounter the sudden appearance of the Terran soldiers, they don't even know where this group of Terrans appeared, and even many orcs fell without seeing the enemy's figure clearly.
Anxiety and fear spread among the orc soldiers, and they were out of control, shouting and killing everywhere, but there was not a single figure to be seen, and they began to retreat, only to be attacked more violently.
Soon, the vanguard of the orcs was wiped out in the streets and alleys of this city.
And the remaining orc army did not advance anymore, they gathered in the open space inside the city walls, as if waiting for something.
"Roar~." There was a loud roar from outside the walls, and the ground shook to the sound of rhythmless footsteps.
I saw a large creature entering the city through a gap in the city wall, and it looked like a wild boar, with long fangs and hard prickly hairs. It is half a city wall high, three zhang high, and five zhang long.
"Beast! The lord of the city stood on the tower and whispered.
There was a huge wooden hut on the beast, and there were about twenty orc soldiers in the hut.
The ground forces gave way to the passage, and the seven Qui Beasts joined the battlefield one after another, the buildings were fragile in front of them, and it seemed that the entire city was about to be razed to the ground, and the Beast Army followed the seven Qui Beasts to re-enter the city.
The Terran soldiers, who had no time to escape, were driven out of their houses by the giant beasts and then trampled to a pulp, while the soldiers who dodged the giant hooves were hacked to death by the orc soldiers who followed them.
Once again, the scales of war are on the side of the orcs.
"It turned out to be the leader, why did this beast army invade this small Hanging Sun City. Mo Neng looked at the huge beast in the distance and said. The same confusion pervaded the hearts of all soldiers and generals.
"Isn't the Qui Beast a symbol of the Beast Army?" Wang Jing asked Mo Neng, who was standing behind them, suspiciously.
"That's right, but in this remote place, except for a few orc lords who have qui beasts, it is impossible for ordinary orc tribes to have qui beasts, and it is impossible for orc lords to look at this small Hanging Sun City, unless there will be treasures born here, or something important to the beasts. "Mo Neng is no longer calm, the leader is not something that this little Hanging Sun City can resist.
It's just that the hard hair and leather of that beast can't be broken by this little Hanging Sun City, let alone kill even one leader.
"You are still young, run away with your team members in advance, take the old and weak women and children, I believe that the city lord will also make such a decision.
Compared to us, who will age to death in a few decades, your life is still very long, don't be carried away by hatred, run away!" Mo Neng stepped forward, but was pulled by Mo Ren.
"Father, wait, don't go anywhere, wait until dawn. ”
"Smack!"
Mo Ren covered his face that was slapped by his father with one hand, and grabbed his father with one hand, he just looked at his father, and unconsciously tears were already flowing from the corners of his eyes.
The corners of Mo Neng's eyes also began to blur: "Fifty years ago, I followed Brother Li De out of the city and entered the Great Wilderness, but because of my cowardice, I killed many brothers, and simply met the path of the pioneer team, I and the rest of the brothers picked up a life, although the brothers do not blame me, and even enlighten me, but all these years of regret have been tormenting me, and now, my son, but I want to watch my brothers go alone against the impossible enemy, Mo Ren, you are my son, I only hope you are not like me." ”
After speaking, Mo Neng got rid of Mo Ren's hand, stepped into the night, and never looked back, leaving Mo Ren who was stuck in place.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Yang Xuan patted Mo Ren's shoulder, and everyone comforted the boy who had been abandoned here by his father.
And Mo Ren's tears kept flowing.
"It turns out that the ending cannot be changed. Even if it comes back 10,000 times. Mo Ren said in a voice that only he could hear.
Yang Xuan looked at Mo Ren, who was on the verge of collapse, and said, "Will you escape?"
The crowd just laughed.
"Then, let's kill, forget it. After saying that, Yang Xuan ran into the darkness, Cheng Nanjing followed closely, and Wang Jingjing naturally did not fall behind his man.
Yan Shi picked up the stick and pointed at Mo Ren, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Mo Ren, didn't you hear what Uncle said just now." It's not like you. With that, he followed into the darkness.
Hang Yuhan kept looking at Mo Ren: "Because of what?"
I saw Mo Ren stand up, hold his two weapons tightly, glanced at Hang Yuhan, and said, "Let's go." ”
So Mo Ren also stepped into the darkness.
And what no one noticed was that they hadn't even seen Hang Yuhan's face for so long.
At this time, in addition to anger, there was also shame on his face. He tried his best to hide from his friends.
He also stepped into the darkness and chased after his friends.
The Terran soldiers began to despair, and explosives, arrows, and even huge city guards were used, but they were barely able to slow down the Qui Beast, and even the slightest effective damage was inflicted on the Qui Beast.
And the seven beasts protected the beast soldiers behind them, seeing that the ancestors had worked hard for thousands of years to have the city of today's scale was about to be destroyed in the hands of this group of beasts who inexplicably attacked the city, many soldiers bundled explosives all over their bodies and rushed towards the beasts.
But it was all in vain.
Liu Shuiqing was so anxious that he flew behind the city lord.
"Castle Lord!. ”
The city lord just sighed and said, "Drag it out, I hope to hold out until the women and children are evacuated." Ordered Sanyuan not to make a move. ”
"Yes. Liu Shuiqing left.
"By the way, put out the beacon fire, it's useless for reinforcements to come. ”
Liu Shuiqing turned around and said, "Yes!" He looked up at the beacon fire, not letting the tears flow.
"Hang Yuhan, Hang Yuhan, you have made my old bones miserable, why are you running here if you have nothing to do, what else is there to do here besides you worthy of their help. That's it, that's it, just when my human race returns the favor of your Hang family, don't die, I expect you to give me revenge on the Hanging City, don't let me down. ”
The evacuation site received orders to flee from the refuge.
The old people, who are already over 100 years old and gradually aging, have tears in their eyes, realizing that this city they have worked so hard for all their lives may be lost to history.
An old man said: "Leave us alone, let's go quickly, let me die with the city in the few years I have left." ”
The old men responded, gathering around corners to make way for the youngsters.
The young soldiers understood what they meant, the human race of the Great Wilderness was eighteen years old, thirty years was the prime of life, and after a hundred years, they would age rapidly, their bodies would deteriorate, and they would survive for a long time, maybe in a few years, maybe ten years and then they would return to dust.
The adult pioneers did not want to accept this fact, and the scene was noisy, with the cries of women and children, and the noise of the adult pioneers.
"Do you want your husband and children to die in vain?" shouted the Lord's Lady as she stood in the crowd, her voice more penetrating than the Lord's.
Immediately after that, there was silence at the scene, and the old men spoke one after another.
"The city is gone, it can be rebuilt, and the children are still alive is hope, not to leave quickly. The City Lord's Lady roared angrily.
She held the shoulder of Li Ya beside her, Li Ya clenched the long sword in her hand, and there was no longer a smile on her face.
The women and children wiped away their tears, and the pioneers stopped making noise, they just turned silently and rushed towards the escape passage.
