Half a month later.

At the base of Anxiazong, Li Anxin, Zheng Nanzhi, and Zhang Yuying gathered together, drinking coffee and tea in silence, and the atmosphere was dull and dignified.

From time to time, there is a faint sound of cannons outside the window, which often explodes more strongly after a while, and the sound of cannons disappears temporarily after the explosion.

"The demon army has approached Jizhou City, the border army and the capital division have been disabled, it is only difficult for them to resist the enemy outside the city, we have to be prepared."

The first to speak was Li Anxin, her tone was as calm as ever, calm as if she was studying, serious and serious, but it was difficult for people to understand her emotions.

Zheng Nanzhi and Zhang Yuying did not rush to fight.

A week ago, the army of the Demon Clan in the north launched a fierce attack on the Yan border army stationed in the Changling Mountains, and the latter hurriedly met the enemy and fought back.

At the beginning, the artillery bombardment was back and forth with the demon clan, and it did not fall into disadvantage, but when the demon clan monks launched a large-scale ground offensive and engaged the border army soldiers in short combat, the situation immediately deteriorated sharply to the side that was unfavorable to the Yan country.

In just one day, the border army lost a large number of positions, and the whole front was in an emergency.

On the second day, the core combat strength of the border army was completely defeated by the demon monks who were fully equipped with relic weapons, and the front completely collapsed.

Although the monks who entered the ruins only had warrior-level cultivation, the weapons they brought out were not only warrior-level, but also a large number of general-level blades.

In terms of extraordinary combat power alone, the demon clan monks are already stronger than the transcendents of the same realm, and now that the other party has a relic weapon to enhance their strength, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom will not be able to resist it at all.

On the third day, the demon army crossed the Changling Mountains and advanced into the Land of Chaos. Then, they gathered the various motley armies that had previously fought in the Land of Chaos and launched an attack on the capital armies in various places.

The frontier troops retreating from the Changling Mountains tried to work with the Dusi army to stabilize the defensive line, but the efforts were unsuccessful, and the various divisions were defeated one after another.

Today, the Yan army in Lingdong Province has retreated to the outskirts of major cities, hastily building positions, and wants to hold on to the cities with their backs.

When the demon army advanced into the land of chaos, the citizens of Yan Kingdom in major cities had fled south on a large scale with their families to avoid the scourge of war after discovering that the situation was not right.

Of course, it is not ordinary citizens who flee the fastest.

On the one hand, the border army was defeated and retreated too quickly, the demon army came too quickly, the situation was suddenly and completely collapsed, and the news channels of ordinary citizens were limited, and most of them did not know that the demons were about to come to the city.

On the other hand, ordinary citizens have limited wealth in their homes, possessions, and jobs in cities, and it is difficult for them to secure their future work and life if they leave these cities and flee to other cities.

They don't know how to flee and don't dare to flee, which leads to most of the ordinary citizens staying in the city and losing the best short escape period.

The mass exodus was from the wealthy and well-informed class, which was roughly divided into two parts, one was the family and relatives of the officials of various departments, and the other was the bosses of the companies, including many social sects.

At this moment, the main force of the demon clan has hit the outskirts of Jizhou City, and the city is in chaos, and the food, drinking water and medicine of supermarkets and convenience stores have been snapped up, and the citizens are panicked all day long.

"What preparations to prepare, the army has collapsed, do you want us to hold Jizhou City?"

Zhang Yuying was very impatient, she fought bravely when she went out on missions on weekdays, but she obviously lacked interest in the current war, "Why do we want us to clean up the mess of the border army and the Dusi?"

"These people are spending our taxpayers' money, and they should do their duty to protect us, otherwise what use do they want?

"We usually go out on missions, and we have fought fiercely enough with demons, it's not that we haven't done our duty to protect our family and defend the country, and now we have to take our lives to block the authorities' basket, I won't do it!"

Li Anxin was unmoved, still looking like he was doing things seriously, looking at Zhang Yuying and asking seriously: "What does Sect Master Zhang mean?" ”

Zhang Yuying waved her hand: "What else is there to say, just withdraw!"

"Are there still fewer people who have retreated south these days? So many high-ranking officials and dignitaries have withdrawn their family members and relatives and big sects and big companies, what reason do we little people have not to withdraw? ”

Li Anxin bowed slightly, indicating that he understood what Zhang Yuying meant, and then looked at Zheng Nanzhi: "What does Sect Master Zheng think?" ”

Zheng Nanzhi's condition was not very good, her face was gray and her eyes were purple, she looked like she hadn't slept for many days, she groaned for a while, and said in a hoarse voice:

"The people of Nanyanzong don't want to fight to the death with demons, everyone doesn't want to pay for the mistakes of the government, many people are ready to retreat south, even if I force them to stay, I'm afraid that there are few people who are willing to stay."

Speaking of this, she paused, and suddenly looked at Li Anxin and said word by word:

"What will Suan do? Will he come back? What if he comes back and we're gone? ”

After leaving the Changling Mountains with Zhu Feng and others, Zheng Nanzhi returned to Jizhou City, these days she has been thinking about Su An, worried about the other party's situation and safety, she has not slept a good night, and it is difficult to concentrate when dealing with things, as if she has lost her soul.

Hearing Zheng Nanzhi's questions, Zhang Yuying was stunned, and then grabbed her hair in distress:

"We can't leave him behind, if he comes back and finds that the Anxia League has fallen apart and the Anxia Sect is gone, then where will I have the face to see him in the future?

"He went to the ruins, and those of us who stayed behind wanted to help him watch Anxia League, if Anxia League was gone, I wouldn't be able to explain it to him."

Li Anxin looked at Zhang Yuying strangely, puzzled that she would say this.

When Su An left, she didn't leave anything for Zhang Yuying, nor did she ask the other party to help look at An Xiameng, if you really want to say that someone bears this responsibility, it is also her Li Anxin.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Li Anxin did not say this.

"In addition to Su An, only the Council of Elders can decide the major affairs of the Anxia League, Zhao Xiaokui, Sun Zongsheng and others mean to withdraw as soon as possible, if you also have this idea, then the Anxia League can only leave."

Li An'an said calmly, "The Anxia League is Su An's hard work and foundation, and we have no right to let it be destroyed in the war, and the only thing we can do to keep it is to keep it."

"As for what to do after Su An comes back, it's very simple, you take An Xia Meng with you, I will stay with An Xia Zong, and we will wait for him until the last moment."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Nanzhi and Zhang Yuying were stunned.

"I'll stay with you!" Zheng Nanzhi blurted out.

Li Anxin was stunned, and Zhang Yuying looked at her with a strange gaze.

Facing the strange gazes of the two, Zheng Nanzhi lowered his head slightly, but quickly raised his head again, and said to Zhang Yuying firmly and calmly:

"Most of the transcendents of the Southern Yan Sect were recruited by me after I came back from Wumeng Town, and they all wanted to leave, so please ask Sect Master Zhang to take them with you.

"I personally stay with people who are willing to stay."

Zhang Yuying snorted: "Sect Master Zheng doesn't even want his own sect for the sake of Su An?" This was quite unexpected.

"Honestly, did you develop any special relationship with Su An in the ruins? Did you sleep together? ”

Zheng Nanzhi made a big face, and hurriedly explained: "I, where do I don't want the sect, just let Sect Master Zhang help take care of it, if I can leave Jizhou City alive, I, I still want their ......"

Zhang Yuying leaned back in the chair and was about to say something, when there was a sudden knock on the office door, and Li Anxin's assistant Li Wen walked in with a solemn expression:

"The authorities have just issued a compulsory conscription order, and all social sects in Jizhou City are not allowed to leave without permission from now on, and they must cooperate with the border army and the capital division to defend the city!

"The speaker of the provincial council, as well as the directors of various departments, are giving live speeches, listening to their meaning to live and die with Jizhou City, and all groups that do not listen to the dispatch will be regarded as treason and punished for treason!"

Zheng Nanzhi and Zhang Yuying changed color in unison, and various expressions such as surprise, anger, and chagrin were intertwined on their faces, which looked extremely complicated.

But soon, they both quietly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

At this moment, the two of them had surprisingly the same thoughts: at least they didn't have to make a choice, and they could stay in Jizhou City and wait for Su An with peace of mind.

Either wait until the other side returns, or you can't wait for the other person to return, or die on the streets before the other person returns.

From this day on, Jizhou City was under full martial law.

Residential areas and streets are blocked, and citizens are not allowed to go out, so daily necessities should be centrally dispatched and supplied. Those who have unauthorized activities will either be treated as spies of the demon clan or arrested on charges of disrupting order and obstructing the overall situation of the war.

All social sects were forcibly conscripted, either to prepare for battle on the battlefield, or to maintain order in the city and arrest disobedient people.

The Anxia League now has dozens of sect members, thousands of transcendents, and its power extends from Dongping District to Changxing District, and its strength cannot be underestimated, and it is responsible for the defense of several blocks alone.

Once the demon army comes in, they will have to engage in street battles with them.

The day after martial law, the demon army launched a full-scale attack on the outskirts of Jizhou City.

Two days later, the outer positions were all captured, and the border army and the capital division withdrew into the city, and with the cooperation of the extraordinary people of the government and the social sect, they started street battles with the demon army, fighting street by street.

The demon army did not besiege the city on all sides, they adopted the most common tactic: surround three queyi, and the southern city was empty.

It seems that the demon army has left a way out for Jizhou City, but no one knows if it will be ambushed halfway after going out from the south, so no one will flee rashly.

......

At night, on a silent street, a group of extraordinary combat forces armed to the teeth suddenly came out.

This is a commercial street, the signboard is lined with thousands of lights, half a month ago it was still a bustling place full of tourists, but now there is not a single light sign is on, even the street lights are extinguished, and pedestrians can not see one.

"It's finally out, I've finally waited for this day!"

Liu Xiong, the sect leader of the Zhengyang Sect, closed his eyes in intoxication and opened his arms into the night sky to take a deep breath.

Behind him, Liu Junhan, Liu Siyan and other monks were full of excitement and excitement.
