··· Qianhu City, the island of Penglai, is one of the three largest and most prosperous city-states among the mermaid clan, and this place is because its entire Chen State is located in the middle of a huge lake, located in the center of the "Qianyao Lake", so its entire city-state is called Qianhu City.

Its Thousand Lakes City, because the surface of the lake is calm and elegant, so every time there is a leisure time, there will often be couples swimming in the lake together, or the couple will take a boat on the lake together, drink the fragrance of tea, and laugh at the world. On the surface of this beautiful lake, coupled with the almost snow-white thousand-zhang city wall on its side, it looks like a picture scroll, which is indeed worthy of the name of Penglai Wonderland.

··· But today, the perennial quiet and prosperous Thousand Lakes City is surrounded by the flames of war...... The surface of the lake, which was originally clear and visible, is now stained red by countless blood. If it is bright red, or if it is black and brown, it will be sprinkled with countless bloods on the surface of the lake. One of them may be a soldier of the merman clan, a defender of Thousand Lakes City, or an intruder, a soldier of the Imperial Army......

Its walls, which were originally snow-white, were sprinkled with hot oil, and the endless hot oil, rubble, and poured down, intercepting the endless army above the cloud ladder without stopping, but even so...... But it was also unstoppable, although from the top of the ladder, at every moment there would be corpses, and someone would fall, and more of his companions would be smashed...... But there was no one, no fear, but in their eyes, there was a frenzy, a pious frenzy.

It was a warrior who was absolutely obedient to his commander, for whom a word of understatement from the commander was enough to drive them crazy...... And the reason for this is not because of others, what they have is only the loyalty to their homeland and the empire......

Whenever the defenders on the walls rolled down the logs, or fell down to spray hot oil, there would be screams from the top of the ladder...... But it is impossible to stop their fanaticism, nor can it be extinguished, their almost crazy devotion to the motherland!

There were too many soldiers in Penglai before the empire's trip. Even though Thousand Lakes City claims to have an elite army of 100,000 to the outside world, it ...... Before this trip, the Han Empire in Penglai brought dozens of times its troops, just encircling and suppressing the endless sea of soldiers outside Qianhu City, it had no less than three million troops!!

··· For a while, endless corpses, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, fell from the city wall. They may have died, or they may have not died when they fell into the air. But the vast majority of people, when they fell from a height to the surface of the lake, were also killed by it...... Although there is a lake under the city wall, it is too high because of its height.

Presumably, even if it is as strong as the cultivation of the sea, as long as it falls from a height of thousands of feet, even if it is the cultivation of the sea...... Presumably, it will only be shattered, and the corpse will be broken into pieces, and it will be completely turned into a mess, and it will be difficult to distinguish its shape......

Of course, among the falling figures, there are also many people with an extremely strong desire to survive. They may be bent on protecting their relatives behind them, and they want to protect their own people. Or maybe he wants to return to his hometown with great achievements. Each of them has their own reasons for wanting to live......

Every man who falls, as long as he has not given up his desire to live, will use all that he can use in his hands, whether it is a weapon or a fingernail...... Digging into the walls of the city, trying to climb up again. But for the vast majority of people...... It was just a corpse of flesh left on the city wall, or pieces of internal organs, or just a waste of blood......

At this moment, the corpses that fell, the hot oil that poured down, the rubble, and so on...... Whoever they are, the vast majority of those who choose to climb up will only make their deaths more miserable.

"Scales Jiayu" is a commander in the army of Thousand Lakes City, and he is not weak in cultivation. He was commanded to defend a city wall, although he fought bravely, he began to defend the city wall from early in the morning, and until now at sunset, he has killed hundreds of enemy soldiers. But the two fists were invincible to the four hands, and he was unfortunately shot down, and the whole person was like a drop of "rain" at this moment, and he was knocked off the city wall together with the countless fallers.

He knew that if he allowed himself to fall like this, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be captured by the countless Imperial troops below him, above the lake. When the time comes, he will be weak and will have to let others fish and meat at will. And his fate is only two results waiting for him......

Maybe he was picked off by someone to cut off the meridians, sealed and cultivated, sold into the inland of Lanlian, and used as a slave, and then carried shame in the second half of his life, unable to survive, unable to die...... Or maybe he will be hanged to intimidate the crowd.

··· But he didn't want to die, he didn't want to spend his life in vain, he still had his family, he still had children. Even yesterday...... He sat down beside the bed, hugged his wife, and told her that he would be back......

He held a spear in his hand, and then he kept falling, and with his spear, he stabbed into the city wall. And crawled slowly upward, bit by bit, the hot oil, with burning sparks, irrigated his body, burning and destroying his handsome countenance, leaving only patches of abominable red muscle tissue.

Another great axe fell, slashing off one of his arms and the spear in his hand. However, despite this, he never gave up, and he never showed the slightest pain or discouragement in his eyes. He's going to fight, he's going to guard, he's going to fight for his family...... He has too much reluctance, too many things he wants to protect......

With the only remaining one-arm, he dug hard with his fingernails into the hard walls, slowly climbing upwards bit by bit. On the way, he was shot down by the other people who fell into the city, and fell down twice. But in every game, he was never discouraged. Not because of others, but just because he wants to protect ...... He wants to protect his lover and the baby in his womb. And...... His old mother, who married far away.

He has too much reluctance, he has too much unwillingness, he is unwilling to die, and he is even more willing to give up......

He looked at the Qianyao Lake behind him, which was stained red by the flames of blood and corpses, and for a moment, he looked at this land of strife stained by the flames of war...... In his heart, he had mixed feelings, and he also recalled the past, and recalled the scene between him and his wife...... A few years ago, Penglai at that time was not born, it was a peaceful era......

He, like most sharks, will always have a life that belongs only to him, and he ...... It was a few years ago that he stumbled in Qianyao Lake and met the other half of his life......

"Lan'er...... Wait for me. ”

··· He struggled for more than an hour, and even though the hot oil was spilled, even if the sword soldiers fell, it did not affect his will in the slightest...... He wanted to go up, he wanted to, to guard the town on the other side behind the walls...... He wants to protect Thousand Lakes City, he wants to protect ...... his home.

With the scale of Jiayu Yu with one arm, he climbed to the top of the city wall with difficulty, his five fingers have long been broken and unshaped, and he has already pus, and between the flesh and bones of a hundred mixed blood, it seems to tell that it is not easy...... It's just that all his efforts seem to be in vain......

··· Soon after he climbed the city wall, he was discovered by the Imperial army who had already reached the top, and he was torn apart by a giant man who was more than two feet high, and he was thrown down at will like garbage......

In his desperation, he could only hear the excited laughter and cheers of the "invaders". and...... The helpless cries and cries for help of the merman soldiers who were defeated and jumped away all around...... Then the eyes fell into a gray color, and they were dimmed, and all hope and luster were lost for it...... He fell into the lake and returned to peace......

It was accompanied by the sound of falling water, but it was only a moment, and it was ...... by the wild laughter one after another Screams...... The cry was diluted and washed, and even in the lake, there were one after another, broken corpses, and no one would pay attention to them.

There are so many people like him, if you want to say ...... He was just an ordinary nameless person lost in this war, an ordinary member. His death was insignificant to the entire war, and it was not even a storm at all...... There are too many people like him, whether it is on the other side of the two sides......

"Lan'er, Mom, I'm sorry...... I broke my promise...... I didn't protect you......"

He whispered in his heart, with unwillingness, and slowly sank into the lake, and Hua was beside him in the endless ...... In the lake, one of the endless corpses at the bottom of the lake......
