Chuandong Square.

Wangcheng is the largest and the largest square in the entire eastern part of Sichuan.

It is a place that is only used when there is a major event in the Eastern Kingdom of Kawato that needs to be declared.

Nearly a thousand hectares of squares, the ground is paved with granite.

Each piece is cut into equilateral equilaterals.

Standing in the middle of the square, you can see the vast expanse of snow white in any direction.

Although it is a square, it is larger than a general park.

Only the Imperial Palace due east, with its huge size, stands out like a giant peak.

Today, this extraordinarily wide square is packed with people.

There are more than 20,000 surviving adventurers in the Ghost Tooth Mountain Raid.

Among them, 1,500 people who fought until the last moment were at the front, those who were seriously injured and retreated were in the middle, and other retreaters and scouts were in the rear.

Around the crowd, thousands of newspaper writers were also around, waiting to write information about the reward.

On the outermost part were 5,000 formed troops to maintain law and order, as well as the people of the whole city who came to watch.

"It's so hilarious."

Scanning the crowds of people around him, it was the first time for Zheng Qian to be watched by so many people.

But at the same time, Zheng Qian also had a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

Adventurers from all over the eastern part of Sichuan have gathered here.

However, there are only about 20,000 people.

Even if you count the people who did not respond to the rescue battle of Guiya Mountain, the number of adventurers in eastern Sichuan at this stage will not exceed 30,000.

Too little.

The rescue battle of Guiya Mountain lost a large amount of living force.

In a way, Gleneagles didn't fail completely.

Although the main strength of eastern Sichuan lies in the formation army.

At present, the 300,000 formed army and the 50,000 garrison army are still alive, but as an adventurer of the third force, they are also a vital force that cannot be ignored in eastern Sichuan.

And now, the foundation of the adventurers in eastern Sichuan has been almost exhausted.

In recent years, there have been four consecutive crusades against dungeons, the recent Warcraft Forest crusade missions issued by the guild, and the last rescue battle in Guiya Mountain, which have made the losses of adventurers too serious.

Especially the pelagics.

There has been a numerical gap between Adamantite-level and Gold-level adventurers.

Zhang Kailong sensed that Zheng Qian couldn't even see a few pure gold or gold level adventurers.

seemed to be a lively scene, but Zheng Qian couldn't help but sweat for Chuandong.

The country is now on the verge of collapse.

"The reward begins!"

With the shout of the master of ceremonies.

In front of the palace, on both sides of the cloud dragon steps that connect the square, a band plays music.

For a while, the gongs and drums were noisy, but it was not lively.

Jin Ge and Zhao Aotian, with a group of guards, walked onto the platform on the highest platform in the center of the Yunlong Steps.

The clamor of the adventurers came to an abrupt end.

Everyone looked at this combination of old and young.

It is the apex of the entire eastern part of Sichuan, and it is the existence that everyone admires.

It is hard to imagine that an adventurer similar to a rabble could be so orderly on such an occasion.

This may be the charm of the War King, right?

While!

The holy sword hammers the ground, and the music stops.

Zhao Aotian stood in the wind, not angry and arrogant.

He glanced at the black adventurers in the square, and his gaze stayed on Zheng Qian for half a second.

"Adventurers, good afternoon, the rescue battle of Ghost Tooth Mountain has worked hard for you.

I used to be an adventurer, and I know that adventurers don't like the official stuff, and it's a pure waste of time to go on stage to accept an award or something. ”

Zhao Aotian pointed to the ten large boxes behind him that were carried up by the guards.

"Here, it is five million gold coins, after the reward is over, it will be distributed to you in turn according to the merits, I am here on behalf of Chuandong, thank you for your dedication."

After that, Zhao Aotian paused.

He looked at Ginger next to him.

Jin Ge also changed his previous ruffianism, and today his expression was extremely solemn, and he nodded to Zhao Aotian.

Zhao Aotian understood, comprehended, and said: "Today's reward meeting is not just to issue rewards, but more importantly, I want to tell you, as well as the people and the author here. ”

He paused again.

As if inspiring courage, he took a deep breath.

After a long time, he spoke again: "There is a rumor in the market recently, I believe most of you have heard it, right?

The number and quality of demonic beasts in the Monster Forest are abnormally increasing, and according to the current trend, they will soon be saturated, and in the near future, they will attack humans due to the lack of territory.

What I want to say is: this is true, the Warcraft storming the city some time ago is a precursor. ”

As soon as these words came out, the adventurer did not react.

The onlookers and newspaper writers collectively gasped.

In fact, this matter has been circulating among the people in the form of rumors.

Even in the circle of adventurers, there has been a lot of rumor.

But most people don't believe it.

After all, it's too illogical and I don't take it to heart.

You are so good and alive, the world is peaceful, and then suddenly someone tells you that the country is going to be destroyed in a month, will you believe it?

However, now, as the only and strongest war king in eastern Sichuan and the strongest in the world, Zhao Aotian, who is still the spokesperson of the king, actually admitted this matter in public.

Unrealistic rumors turned into reality in an instant.

This is tantamount to causing an uproar in the crowd.

"Lord Warlord, what's going on?"

"Why did the number of demonic beasts suddenly increase?"

"Why didn't the official say that it would be hidden from the people?"

In the face of doubts, Zhao Aotian didn't take care of it at all.

Now to get down to business, you come running over to me and yelling at me, like I'm going to condemn you.

This is a typical ignorance of the importance and does not distinguish between three and four.

Zhao Aotian continued: "During this time, the Zhan Wang Sect has gone through no less than twenty investigations in private, and now it can give specific data.

After about 28 days, the number of monsters in the Monster Forest will peak, and at that time, the monsters will rush out of the forest and attack all the towns and cities in the country in order to have more living space.

Quantity... About 100 million! ”

One hundred million?!!

At this moment, even the adventurers who had experienced life and death were in an uproar.

Without giving them time to react, Zhao Aotian continued: "Now, it has been discovered that there are forty-nine boss-level demonic beasts, all of which are the strength of the head of the second-layer boss Medusa.

It is expected that in a month, that number will rise to more than a hundred. ”

More than a hundred?

The order of the adventurers has collapsed.

Off-the-field, adventurers are in a mess.

Comparing it with the head of Medusa, everyone can clearly recognize its strength.

Monsters with a level of lv120 or higher are unique outside of dungeons.

In fact, a lv60 monster needs to dispatch a large number of troops to deal with it.

Not to mention lv120 or more.

This means that all the adventurers present will attack it in groups, and there is a risk of total annihilation if they deal with more than three heads.

Not to mention that there are more than a hundred, plus 100 million demonic beasts.

"The location is in the north, which is the direction of the East Sichuan Underground City. As we all know, between the northern territories and the dungeons, my royal city is the first city, and the rest are small towns.

As long as the royal city is not breached, other large cities and towns in the land will not be affected.

Therefore, the king ordered that from tomorrow, the towns along the way should be evacuated to the rear of the royal city.

And concentrate all the forces to establish an absolute defensive line outside the western wall of the royal city, and defend the royal city at all costs! ”

As soon as these words came out, the noise of the adventurers gradually stopped.

In its place was a deathly silence.

Everyone is a veteran adventurer, and they know what this means, and they don't need Zhao Aotian to explain more.

If the royal city is breached, Chuandong ...... It will destroy the country!

This is no small matter.

If Chuandong dies, to put it mildly, countless people will be displaced, or reduced to monster rations, or become refugees, and their lives depend on the faces of other countries.

To put it mildly, adventurers have borders, and other countries will never rashly accept the violent groups of a country of destruction into their own land.

When Zhao Aotian said this, his expression was slightly gloomy.

He clenched his fists and said, "Starting tomorrow, all cities across the country will enter martial law to accept the transferred people.

Everyone has to pack up within this month, and the eastern Sichuan and the southern Tianshan countries have reached an agreement, and they have promised to take in our people.

This was a worst-case scenario, and if the royal city was breached, all the people would be transferred to the kingdom of the Heavenly Mountains.

I know that adventurers are free and unfettered, but now Kawato needs to gather all the forces that can be gathered.

The king also decreed that if he could hold the royal city, he would open the entire treasury to reward the participants.

Chuandong has shown the greatest sincerity, and I hope that all the adventurers can stay and help us defend the royal city and defend Chuandong! ”

The audience was silent.

And it's no wonder.

This battle is unheard of, and no one is sure that it will be won.

The formation army, the garrison army, and the adventurers add up to less than 400,000.

——————

Plus the militia organized during this time, and the private soldiers of the nobility.

I'm afraid the number of people will not exceed 800,000 at most.

At the beginning, the 3,000 garrison troops blocked 800 demonic beasts, and 2,500 people died.

Now there are only 800,000 people, and they want to stop 100 million demonic beasts.

No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning.

Of course, the same cannot be said about it.

Because of the suddenness of the Warcraft storm last time, the overall quality of the garrison army was not as good as that of the formed army, and it was not prepared.

This time there was a month to build fortifications, assemble a sufficient network of firepower, and arrange a reasonable formation.

With the strength of the whole country, against 100 million Warcraft, it is not completely impossible to win.

The problem is that there are more than a hundred boss-level demonic beasts.

Mobilization in reality is different from mobilization in Hollywood film and television works.

You say something encouraging, and everyone rushes up to play with you.

How can it be that easy?

There may be people who choose to live and die with the state, such as Kacher.

But adventurers are not military men after all, and the binding power of the state on them is limited.

The patriotism of the adventurer is more of a belief and passion.

But in the face of this situation, most adventurers have to weigh it carefully.

was supposed to be a much-anticipated reward party, but it ended in a burst of sighs.

The people, the author, and the adventurers left the square one after another.

Zheng Qian stood in place, looking up at Zhao Aotian on the stage.

His expression was extremely lonely, and his dark circles were black and purple, so he must have been under unimaginable pressure during this time, right?

On my side... It's a lot of pressure.
