Chapter Seventy-Three: Beheading the Giant
On the city wall, the captain of the guard held the spear tightly in his hand, as if this was the only way to bring him a glimmer of reassurance.
"Chief Guard, why is there no movement at the gates of the city? Could it be that the sandmen have retreated? β
"Don't let go." The captain of the guard walked to the edge of the city wall and looked down, and there was indeed no trace of the sandman at the gate of the city, only the sandman who was trying to climb up.
"Are you going to do it?"
"Wait, wait for the sandman to come up a little more." The captain of the guard was extremely patient at this time.
In the tense atmosphere, I don't know how long passed, seeing that the sandman was getting closer and closer to the city wall, the guard chief finally ordered: "Throw down the stones!" β
Boom Boom!
The soldiers were given the order to throw the falling rocks down from the edge of the city walls.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The falling rocks hit the sandman's body, and the sandman exploded, scattering into sand and falling to the ground.
As the rocks were almost thrown, the Sandman's offensive was contained.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but only the captain of the guard still had a serious face.
He looked down and saw that the sand was slowly gathering together, and soon reverted to its original appearance as a sandman, intact.
Hiss! All the soldiers gasped in unison.
"Do you mean that these sandmen can't be killed?" Someone muttered.
The captain of the guard was in a state of confusion at the moment, but he knew that if he showed signs of panic, then the soldiers under his command would also lose confidence, and if the army was disorganized, it would be difficult to resist the sandman.
Immediately, he shouted: "Cheer me up!" If he doesn't die once, it doesn't mean that he hasn't died all the time, these miscellaneous pieces, if you dare to climb up again, you see if the spear in my hand will agree! β
After speaking, he raised the spear in his hand and waved.
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers' eyes suddenly lit up, and they nodded vigorously, yes! Why are you so frustrated, it's just the first time it doesn't work, wait for them to come up, cut off their heads, and see if they can recover!
The morale of the army suddenly stabilized.
Call! Seeing that the soldiers had a fighting spirit, the captain of the guard relaxed and put his mind on the sandman under the city wall.
But at this moment, there was a faint scream at the city gate, which was extremely terrible.
"What's going on?" The captain of the guard had a bad feeling in his heart.
Then, he turned his head and said, "Go to the two of you and see what happened to the city gate, the city gate is so important that there is no room for failure." β
"Yes!" Soon, two soldiers walked out of the ranks and ran to the city gates.
"Ahh After a while, another scream came from the city gate.
One of the soldiers came to the city wall with a crawl, pointed in the direction he had come, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Sandman! The Sandman has entered the city! City... The door has been lost! β
"What!" The captain of the guard quickly approached him, his expression shocked.
"Dead... We're all dead, we can't live anymore! "The soldier was clearly frightened and had lost his fighting spirit.
The captain of the guard roared angrily and kicked the soldier to the ground, "Fart! β
Then he took his spear and ran down the tower, "Come a group of men, go down with me." β
Soon, a group of soldiers followed.
When the captain of the guard came to the city gate, Tie blushed and looked at everything in front of him.
I saw that the soldiers guarding the city gate without exception all fell to the ground, all with varying degrees of knife wounds on their bodies.
Smack! A head rolled right at his feet, his eyes widened, and his eyes showed a desire for life, as if to say: I don't want to die yet!
He knew this man! It was the child of his next-door neighbor, who was just eighteen years old this year, and came to serve as a soldier under him.
He also promised his neighbors to take good care of him, but now...
"Ahh The captain of the guard, his eyes were blood-red, he roared, and then he took his spear and rushed towards the nearest sandman.
"Die!" The bruises in his arms bulged, and the spear in his hand was thrown out angrily.
Boom! The spear pierced through the sandman's head at breakneck speed.
In the next second, the sandman burst into the yellow sand and scattered all over the ground.
It's just that this time, after waiting for a long time, the sandman has not been resurrected.
This situation lifted the Captain of the Guard, and it seemed that the Sandman was not invincible.
"Kill me!" The captain of the guard was in high spirits, picked up his spear and rushed towards the sandman.
The soldiers followed, slashing back and forth with their weapons raised.
After a lot of hard fighting, the guards found out, but any sandman who was poked in the head by him could not be resurrected after death.
If the rest of his body were injured, the sandman would be able to recover slowly, and he immediately shouted to tell the other soldiers about his discovery.
"Kill!" The soldiers were also red-eyed at this time, and slashed at the sandman's neck one by one.
Crash! The sound of the sandmen scattering and falling was heard.
It didn't take long for the captain of the guard to stop when he realized that he didn't see the sandman in his sight.
Looking back, there were only a few of the original dozens of people left, and they were all exhausted and out of breath.
Looking at the corpses of his comrades all over the ground, the guard chief felt a tingling in his heart, but he did not show it, but raised the spear in his hand and shouted, "We have won!" β
The other soldiers showed a slight ugly smile, yes! Win! It's just that too many people have died.
They supported each other and stood up, their hands trembling incessantly, no one could remember how many times they had swung their knives, only the constant feeling of exhaustion from their bodies was feeling them, they were tired.
Just as the chief of the guard was about to lead them back to the walls, he heard a voice.
Knock knock! The earth began to shake.
Could it be?
The captain of the guard dragged his tired body to the top of the city wall.
I saw that the sand giant had begun to move, and was walking towards them.
The spear in his hand was clenched, but his heart was dead.
It sounded good, and he also understood that they were okay to deal with a few little sandmen, but if they faced this sand giant, they couldn't stop it for a second.
"What should I do?" The captain of the guard muttered.
At this time, the remaining soldiers also gathered around and discussed: "Captain of the guard, let's withdraw!" Stop everyone from leaving quickly, it's too late! β
"Yes! It's not something we can fight against, it's not a level at all! β
The soldier's words pierced into his heart, and for a moment, his heart was numb.
I saw him frowning, gritting his teeth, thinking for a while, and finally showing a trace of helplessness, and waved his big hand: "Someone!" Organize people and persuade everyone to leave! By the way, report to the lord of the city, the castle ... Can't hold it! β
He has also heard about the new city lord's appointment, but he has not seen Chen Siyu in person, and naturally he doesn't know what he looks like.
Now it seems... It has to be withdrawn!
A hint of pain flashed in his eyes, was there only so much he could do? The captain of the guard felt his powerlessness, and the bitter taste permeated his mouth, leaving him speechless.
"Yes!" The soldiers shouted, and then split up and went their separate ways.
His eyes were fixed on the Sand Giant, watching him get closer and closer, and the Guard's heart was beating wildly.
Finally! It's already within 100 meters.
He could clearly see that the sand giant's eyes were focused on the city wall, and as for himself, in his eyes, he should be just a small ant.
"Come on! I'm not afraid of you! The captain of the guard, carrying his spear, went down the wall of the city and came to the gate alone.
"Captain of the Guard!" There were shouts from the walls.
"Leave me alone! Do your own thing! Without looking back, the guard rushed to the sand giant.
At that moment, he felt that the other party had noticed him, but as if he had seen an ant provoking the giant, the sand giant's eyes showed a trace of doubt and impatience.
Bang! He stepped in front of the Captain of the Guard, and a sand pit appeared on the ground, and the Captain of the Guard almost fell into it.
"If you want to get there, kill firstβ" Before he could finish speaking, the giant had already raised his big hand and slapped it heavily, as if killing a noisy bug.
Rumble! A large palm print appeared, and as he raised his hand, the nearby quicksand slowly flowed into the pit.
The soldiers cried out in unison: "Captain of the Guard! In their opinion, this palm, the guard has no chance of survival.
Even he himself felt so, when the giant palm came, he was stunned for a moment, his brain was blank, and he could only watch as the palm approached, covering him from the sky and the sun.
Just when he thought he was going to die, he suddenly felt someone grab his shoulder and escape from the range of his palm at a great speed.
"Where is this? Am I dead? The captain of the guard stared at the sand giant at his feet.
"It must have been dead, if it wasn't for death, how could I be flying in mid-air?" The captain of the guard was full of anxiety.
"Who said you died, you live well." Chen Siyu grabbed him and flew in the air, and after taking a look at the giant, he took him back to the city wall.
Landing on the city wall, the captain of the guard saw the soldiers staring at him with wide eyes, and only then did he realize that he was not dead.
After touching his face, he knelt in front of Chen Siyu and kowtowed: "Thank you seniors for saving your life!" β
"Thank you, senior!" The soldiers also rushed over.
Chen Siyu waved his hand, thinking in his heart: Fortunately, I caught up, and I almost died of such a conscientious guard chief.
"Senpai, can you help usβ" The captain of the guard stood up, his face flushed, as if he wanted to say something.
"I'll help you deal with this sand giant."
Gritting his teeth, the captain of the guard knelt down again, knocking his head three times in a row, bang, bang! Blood spilled from his head, and then he said, "My predecessor saved me, I shouldn't have asked too much, but... As the chief of the guard, I must protect the safety of the people in the city, and I would like to use my life to implore my seniors to take action! β
"I beg my seniors to help!" Bang bang bang!
A series of kowtows came, and all the soldiers knelt on the ground in unison, with deep affection!
"Hey, what are you doing here, I didn't say no, get up." Chen Siyu waved his hand, and everyone felt a strong force, and they stood up.
"So you agreed?" The head of the guard looked happy.
Chen Siyu nodded, flew into the air, pointed to the sky with his right hand, and said in his mouth: "The sword is coming!" β
For a while, the sound of Jin Ge sounded, and there were countless buzzing sounds.
Everyone saw that the long swords in their hands broke away one after another and flew into the sky.
Not only that, but sword lights flew from all over the city, all of them came to Chen Siyu's side and flew around him.
At this moment, Chen Siyu was like a sword immortal descending to earth, with extraordinary momentum.
"Go!" Chen Siyu pointed at the sword technique, and the sword light instantly flew towards the giant.
Shout! The sand giant only felt the sword light flying one after another, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he had to wave his fist and knock down the flying sword one by one.
Bang Bang Bang! A flying sword was knocked down, and the giant's wounds were restored in just a moment.
For a while, Chen Siyu seemed to have fallen into the upper hand.
"Senior! Its weakness is in the head! The captain of the guard suddenly remembered something, and suddenly shouted at Chen Siyu.
"Really? I see. Chen Siyu said softly.
The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, pointing at the giant's head.
Slash down with a sword!
The hundred-meter sword qi suddenly appeared, and it was twisted.
Poof! The giant's head fell in response and slammed into the ground, his eyes full of incredulity.
"Win... Win? The captain of the guard wept with joy and fell to his knees.
"We won!" The soldiers were ecstatic and cheered with their comrades.
