When the first ray of morning light fell on the wall of the Acropolis, most of the people in the Acropolis were resting.

Yesterday was definitely an extremely tragic and terrifying experience for them, but most of them, while feeling sad and angry, also had some pride in their hearts.

Under such a terrifying disadvantage, they were still able to defend the acropolis for a whole day, resisting their two waves of offensives, and in the end forced them to retreat. If they get old in the future and return to their fields, maybe they can tell the younger generations about the future.

His glorious deeds when he defended the city.

At this point, practitioners are the same as ordinary soldiers. Even if they are extremely exhausted physically and mentally, they are all smiling at the rising sun, consciously or unconsciously.

They have temporarily won this battle and displayed the majesty that the human world should have. How could they not be happy?

Wei Shengjing sat on the tower of the Acropolis, looking at the scenery outside the city as the sun rose.

During the defense battle of the Acropolis last night, he managed to escape from the enemy formation with his extremely tired body. However, there were only about twenty practitioners of the Wuzong who rushed down with him at this time.

He was very aware of the extent to which the defense capabilities of the Acropolis had been depleted. In addition to the heavy losses of the Wuzong practitioners, the two thousand soldiers used to form the Five Elements and Bagua Formation had been damaged by nearly half at this time, and the number of survivors had also been reduced.

There was almost no strength to lift the sword again; most practitioners of the Dharma sect, including the master of Dilongmen, were too exhausted and had to retreat to the rear for temporary training; the ballistae on the city had been fired as early as yesterday during the day, and at night

It also exhausted all the arrows stored in the Acropolis.

On the other hand, at the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance, despite the two attacks, several mountains of demon corpses had been piled up in front of the acropolis. According to his estimate, they had wiped out at least 20,000 demon soldiers, but the problem was that they still had three

There is an army of ten thousand, but the quality and number of practitioners among them still outweigh them.

Yesterday, Ming Dao arrived in time, defeated the demon army with the power of the black sword, and barely pulled the acropolis back from the edge of being lost, but it only cost the acropolis a life.

That's why he would watch the rising sun here instead of resting and recuperating in the city lord's mansion.

Also looking at the rising sun with him was Ming Dao. He had not come down from the tower all night.

When Wei Shengjing looked at him, he was also looking at Wei Shengjing. Both of them opened their lips slightly. After noticing the other's movements, they both swallowed their words again.

After a long while, Ming Daofang spoke first: "Sheng... how is junior sister?"

"The doctor at the City Lord's Mansion has seen it. He just needs to rest. There is nothing serious." Wei Shengjing looked into the distance and said, "Thank you for taking care of Sheng'er these years."

Ming Dao had no idea that the first words Wei Shengjing said to him would be such filthy words. He who was already struggling with what to call him suddenly became confused.

He smiled sheepishly and said, "This is what I should do."

He thought for a moment and smiled: "Although it is a bit inappropriate, I still want to ask, how did you see it?"

Topics about women have always aroused men's interest, especially in important border towns such as Acropolis. The soldiers had talked about Wei Sheng's appearance and temperament in private, but when Wei Sheng first arrived at Acropolis,

There was a bit of ridicule in these discussions, and when Wei Sheng proved his strength to the entire Acropolis, those jokes turned into ridicule.

Wei Shengjing's first wife and Xu Xian have both passed away long ago. Shang Yunjian met the Sword Immortal Shang Qingtian due to accidents in his early years, entered Wu'an Sword Peak, and had no relationship with the Wei family. After that incident, he almost never met again.

Stepping into the Acropolis, the second son Wei Qingzhu has been familiar with the affairs of the city lord for a long time. If anything happens to him, he will be responsible for the future of the Acropolis. But after all, he is still a little green. This time, he will be responsible for such a big occasion.

Instead of letting him participate in the war, he was put in charge of the affairs of the city. Wei Sheng was his most beloved daughter, and there was a slight estrangement from him after that incident. He always felt sorry for her. Now she has finally returned to the Acropolis, although

Just to resist the army of the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance, he was willing to use everything he had to protect her on the battlefield.

In the end, he still failed to do it, but someone protected Wei Sheng for him.

Wei Shengjing had a good impression of Ming Dao at first sight, not only because he solved Ai Cheng's urgent need, but also because of his free and easy temperament, which was the same as when he came with a sword and made a big fuss in the city lord's palace.

The Shang Yunjian is very similar.

"You can tell by the look in Sheng'er's eyes." Wei Shengjing smiled proudly, as if seeing the transparent thoughts was already a very proud thing for him, "I was like that back then.

He threw himself on her mother and almost left this acropolis to wander the world with her."

Wei Shengjing sighed and said sadly: "But I did something wrong in the end, which hurt his mother's heart and caused Xiao... Yunjian to almost die. If it weren't for Shang Jianxian... sigh."

Wei Shengjing closed his eyes, with a look of remorse on his weather-beaten face. After a while, he opened his eyes, stared at Ming Dao and said, "Mr. Ming Qi, if I ask you to take care of Sheng'er for the rest of your life, will you be willing?"

Mingdao nodded without hesitation and said: "Don't worry, City Lord, I swore to myself a long time ago that I will always protect her."

Although Ming Dao studied under Mo Mei Villa, it was Shang Yunjian who had the greatest influence on him during his practice. When Wei Sheng joined Mo Mei Villa, he always took good care of and accompanied her because of Shang Yunjian's relationship.

She went from being a shy and young junior sister at Mo Mei Villa to becoming the world-famous Mr. Wei Ba.

He has been with her through so many years of ups and downs, and he really wants to stay with her forever.

When Wei Shengjing heard this answer, he laughed with satisfaction and threw a bag of wine from his waist to Mingdao: "The wine in Bian fortress is stronger, let's try it?"

Mingdao took the wine bag and said with a smile: "The city lord invites me, so I will naturally accompany you."

After saying that, he opened the cork of the bottle, took a sip of wine, and finally coughed out the spicy food.

Wei Shengjing was still laughing heartily, but he didn't know whether he saw the embarrassment of Mr. Mingqi of Momei Villa or because of something else, so he immediately said with a straight face: "You still call me City Lord?"

Mingdao had already regained his composure at this time, glanced at the wine bag in his hand with lingering fear, and said with a smile: "It's a little early to call my father-in-law."

Wei Shengjing took out another bag of wine from his waist, raised his head and drank the liquor in one gulp, laughing and saying: "You are so skilled, why are you pretending to be innocent here?"

After saying this, the two men, both young, looked at each other and laughed, and the distance between them became much closer.

The two of them just drank and laughed at each other on the top of the city, and their laughter echoed in the wind and sand around the Acropolis.

After a long while, Wei Shengjing stared into Ming Dao's eyes and said, "Promise me one thing."

Ming Dao was already drunk at this time, but his eyes were bright, and he said: "Father-in-law, I just say it's okay."

"After the city is broken, you take Sheng'er away from here. Although she was born here, she shouldn't put herself here. The road between you and her... is still long."

"how about you?"

Wei Shengjing let out a loud wine belch and said with a heroic smile: "I am the lord of this Acropolis, and I should live and die with this city. I have lived for more than sixty years, and I have already fulfilled my destiny."

Mingdao lowered his head and said after a moment: "We will fight with this city until the end."

When Wei Shengjing heard this, his expression changed and he said angrily: "You kid, say it again!"

Ming Dao shook his head and said: "I understand her temperament. She came here because she had the thought of living and dying with Aicheng. In her heart, she has never forgotten Aicheng and the Wei family."

"She made her choice, and I will follow mine."

Wei Shengjing stared at his face and said solemnly: "You really don't regret it?"

Mingdao smiled and said: "When you are alive, you will always do something shocking."

Wei Shengjing sighed, then laughed and said: "Come on, let's have a few more drinks. Although there is no good scenery here in Acropolis, the beacon smoke in the desert is also a good appetizer."

Mingdao raised the empty wine bag and said with a smile: "It should be so."

Their eyes were now outside the Acropolis.

The Ten Thousand Demons Alliance does not know when it will launch another offensive. By then, everything in the Acropolis will be over.
