Chapter 187: A Difficult Situation
"Drive, drive!"
In the midst of the urging, the horse's hooves stomped. Full content
Li Yu and his entourage rode on the official road, and the scenery on both sides of the road retreated rapidly.
It is now June 15, and a period of time has passed since the outbreak of the incident, and their group of reinforcements from the division department have finally stepped on the land of the Northern Qi Province.
Just a few days ago, there was a sudden emergency report from the Northern Qi side, saying that the vicious incident of the reproduction of cloth demons had spread into the city, and if it weren't for the timely disposal of the local hundred households Zhong Cheng and the mobilization of each household to set fire to the house, I don't know what the result would be.
But even so, they lost two Inhumans and watched as dozens or hundreds of civilians were killed.
To this day, the number of victims is still rising, and half of the huge city has turned into hell on earth.
The division no longer hesitated, and immediately issued orders in succession, instructing the nearby departments to rush to help, and there were also masters on the division's side who were recruited, and concentrated elite manpower to rush there.
Li Yu and his entourage were the selected elites, changing horses along the way, not changing people, and continuing to gallop north day and night.
Finally, when it was time to eat, everyone finally stopped at a post near their destination.
Everyone is already very tired, except for Li Yu, who can still rely on drinking to feed himself, all of them have deep circles under their eyes and look tired.
But thinking of the situation in the city of Yelu, they still did not dare to rest, and they all trotted to eat, drink, and Lazar.
"I don't know what the situation is now, there is no way to receive a timely report after we came out, I hope it is not too bad."
"It's hard to say, but it's best to prepare for the worst."
Among the few people who traveled with him, there were from the Demon Suppression Division, and there were also Inhuman masters recruited from the people, and most of them had the common characteristic of mastering the ability to control the alien fire.
Because the Northern Qi side used their precious lives to find out some basic information, the division simply sent the aliens who had the power to deal with the treacherous to go over.
And among the people, the highest status is Li Yu and Wei Zhenfu's envoys Hong Ti and Lin Xing.
The latter two of them went to the scene as a supervisor to supervise the local hundreds of households dealing with evil demons, but Li Yu was a real elite cadre and a master in charge of fighting.
Because he had saved the Holy Capital, the division also had high hopes for him, hoping to continue to work hard and create more miracles.
"According to the news from over there, those cloth demons can transform people's clothes, pants and other things into the same kind of demons, and the same is true for other sheets and cloths......
"The transformed demon has the strength of a ten-year-old child, and it doesn't seem strong at first glance, but with one or two climbers in the body, it is enough to interfere with the actions of ordinary people, and more than four or five can wrap around the neck and strangle the neck, causing a threat to life.
What's more, the larger the body of the cloth demon, the greater the strength, and even far more than ordinary people, and the cause of death of many people is to be strangled to death and strangled by the long strips of cloth from those cloth villages.
And many long banners and curtains, as terrible as pythons......"
"Generally speaking, it's the sheets of those big families that are more difficult to deal with, and ordinary clothes and pants are just ordinary goods......
"Lord Hong, can those cloth demons really turn the clothes on our bodies into monsters? Could it be that we will have to go shirtless when the time comes? ”
Someone asked a strange question, and everyone listened with different faces and curious ears.
Hong Ti's face was embarrassed: "This ...... I don't know very well, but according to the report from the Northern Qi side, it is indeed based on this response.
Otherwise, if you are suddenly entangled in the fight, or even pinched, you will be strangled to death by the cloth demon.
Of course, those who are confident in their skills can also continue to wear them, because the condition for those cloth demons to transform into the same kind is to come into contact with the cloth for more than two breaths, and use the power of treachery to continue to infect.
If you can force them back in time with fire, or unleash treacherous power to protect yourself, it is not so easy to convert. ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
It's easy to say, but how can it be so easy to do?
In battle, treacherous power is precious, how can there be spare strength scattered on the body?
"Tigers have times when they take a nap, let alone a human, it seems that it is better to take it off."
"Fortunately, we all carry leather armor with us, this kind of thing is not within the scope of the transformation of the cloth demon......
Before you know it, a few more days have passed.
Along the way, there are constantly elite soldiers from all sides stationed in the station, and the team continues to grow.
The local officials are quick to catch people, the folk aliens, the demon suppression division, and the secret agents of the Jinyi Guard.
Li Yu, Hong Ti, and Lin Xing discussed it and decided to divide the troops into two ways, with himself and Hong Ti continuing to rush to Yelu City, while Lin Xing gathered reinforcements behind.
So, on June 20, Li Yu and Hong Ti took five good players as the vanguard and finally came to Yelu City, a big city in the south of Northern Qi Province.
The situation they saw was already extremely bad, and all the way back and forth, hundreds of miles in a radius had been tightly sealed, and ordinary business travelers were not allowed to enter or leave.
This is because the local government has learned the lessons of the past and has taken control of the main transportation routes of all parties as soon as possible, so as to prevent the special rules of evil spirits from acting on those merchants and bringing disasters everywhere.
But this kind of disposal also means that Yelu City has completely become a lonely city, and it may be able to hold on for a short period of ten days and a half months, but after a long time, it must be undefendable.
Finally, the head of the city is close at hand.
"Stop, who are you?"
The gates were closed, and the soldiers defending the city lit fires and shouted loudly with longbows.
Li Yu glanced at the people next to him, and a loud voice hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We are the Holy Capital Jinyi Guard, and we have been ordered to come here on business." ”
"Your Excellency General has an order, the whole city is blocked, and no doors are allowed to be opened, please prepare the official letter and vouchers first, and we will come down to check it immediately."
After some careful inspection, the responsible officials in Yelu City finally arrived and apologized to Li Yu and others one after another.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry ......."
"Okay, the situation is urgent, so there is no need to say more polite words, and please tell us what the situation is now."
Since the city gate could not be opened for the time being, the horses of the people could only be placed under the outer wall of the city for the time being guarded by special personnel, and they themselves went up in hanging baskets.
Li Yu finally stepped on the walls of this city, and the first thing he said was to ask about the current situation.
But before the local official could answer, he took a few steps forward and looked inside, and was suddenly slightly stunned.
The neighborhood as far as the naked eye can see has turned into a tight military formation of a few steps and a post, a large amount of fire oil, firewood and wood have been moved out, and the doors, tables and chairs of the people's homes have also piled up.
This is exactly the posture of war.
