Chapter 16: Recapture the City of Xuti
Hogel looked at the gradually dimming sky; at this time, the walls of Linyuan City had lost their previous neatness and towering appearance, and fragments of the completely collapsed walls could be seen everywhere, as well as corpses on the ground.
Of course, most of these corpses were those of barbarians, but even if the city guards were far away from the flames of war, they would occasionally be bombarded by barbarian mages. However, compared to the situation of the barbarians at this time, they were lucky enough.
At this time, Glenn's arms were completely numb, but Hogel seemed to be teasing himself and refused to kill him no matter what; for them, it was obvious that they only needed to kill themselves, and then a random attack would be the end of it.
This farce-like war, but why...
"Can't you hold it anymore?" Hogel pointed the sword at Glenn, without any emotion in his tone; although he said so, his current situation was not much better.
"If you want to kill me, do it quickly..." Glenn's body was on the verge of collapse. Only by inserting the giant ax in his hand on the ground and using it to support his body could he relieve his physical pain.
He was exhausted; especially Ah Rong, who was holding a sickle and constantly harvesting the lives of the barbarians, letting him know that there was no possibility of him surviving.
However, Hogel shook his head, actually put away the sword, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "No, we won't kill you, you can leave."
"What?!" Glenn was instantly furious. For a barbarian, what could be more humiliating than this? Even in the eyes of others, there is no difference between these people and beasts.
But calm down and think about it carefully. Logically speaking, there is no possibility of reconciliation between them. What is the purpose of letting him go like this? It can't be out of kindness, right?
"Why, I need a reason."
For Glenn, he didn't care about life or death at all; the only thing he cared about was his own glory on the battlefield.
Hogle looked at Glenn, and the smile on his face became more and more weird. It was completely unlike the expression that a paladin should make: "My master said that all of you should see your end with your own eyes; your only chance is
Just this once?"
"What do you mean by this!"
Glenn used all his strength to pull out the giant ax; although he didn't understand what Hogle meant, he could still feel the confidence and deeply buried desire in the tone of the paladin in front of him.
.....pride.
Hogel looked at Ah Rong, who started to look here, and reminded: "Let me remind you, that little girl will not listen to anyone except the master. If she really targets you, there is nothing I can do.
.”
Glenn looked at Hogel coldly. He knew the best choice now; after all, besides his own life, there was a more important thing, which was to report all the situation here to the king; in the south,
A terrifying enemy appeared.
He called the giant horse with strong self-healing ability over, took a deep look at Linyuan City in the flames of war, got on his horse and ran towards the north without any hesitation.
The soldiers of the barbarians breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their bosses had retreated; their magic suddenly became weaker for some unknown reason, as if it had been borrowed by someone; plus these strange
Weird guy...
If it weren't for the commanders and supervisors keeping an eye on the deserters, they might have been defeated long ago; but with Glenn's retreat, the last trace of concern disappeared.
"Quickly retreat! Lord Glenn has already retreated!"
"These are demons from the abyss..."
Looking at the centaur who was still chasing him, the barbarian soldiers dropped all their weapons, dry food, and other items on the ground in order to reduce the burden on them, with indelible horror in their eyes.
As the fleeing troops disappeared from everyone's sight, the undead who raised their bloody butcher knives turned into mutilated corpses again and fell on the road. The moat was completely covered with blood.
It was stained red, and the water level was even raised a little by the corpses.
A part of the city defense army was still extinguishing the elemental flames burning on the city wall to prevent them from spreading into the city with the wind, but they couldn't help but froze in place when they saw the evacuating barbarian army.
We actually defeated the barbarians?
Although it has basically no use except for pulling the city defense crossbow, these barbarians, who have always been cruel and invincible, actually evacuated from Linyuan City?
Did they defeat the barbarians without any support?
"we won!!"
"Long live the Holy Knight!!"
"Long live the lord!"
In their eyes, the Paladins headed by Hogel were the reinforcements invited by their lord from the Principality of Annas. The Holy Light Summoning Technique almost reversed the situation on the battlefield, and there were also those who did not know where they came from.
They are fantasy species; although they look shabby and ghostly...
Hogel breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun, which almost turned the sky into orange-red. He felt the breeze that could blow on his face again, even if it was wrapped in a foul smell of blood.
But Hogel is still happy with it.
All this is not over yet, the next step is the highlight for the barbarians.
"It's the lord!"
"Lord, is there something behind you?"
"this......"
The originally noisy and lively city wall suddenly became silent; of course, this was not only because of the sight of Zhou Junli on horseback, but also the army-like... elves following Zhou Junli.
.
Zhou Junli didn't want to ride a centaur anymore. He still couldn't accept the feeling of curiosity; he might as well ride this dark horse, which was not a fantasy breed but was considered a thoroughbred.
Knight Anas, who is now hiding in the corner, no longer knows what to say, whether it is the thousands of legions of holy knights who suddenly appeared, or the little girl with a terrifying aura, or even the one who seemed to have turned into an undead.
The corpses made them unable to accept that they were in Linyuan City.
But now, behind the lord of this place is an army of... elves!
If Lord Balance Angel knew that there was such a lord in such a barren territory, she would definitely not be able to bear her curiosity, right?
"What should I do...what's going on with this guy?"
"What is this guy going to do?"
A knight looked at the elves behind him with green eyes with an ugly expression, and said hesitantly: "Does he... want to take the initiative?"
"..."
After hearing these words, everyone closed their mouths and quietly watched Zhou Junli's every move on the screen. After a while, someone said: "No, I have to ask Karona about these things first."
Sir, report."
...
"Lord... what are you..." The soldier in charge of city gate defense looked at the lord walking to the city gate with an army that didn't know where it came from, and asked nervously
road.
Zhou Junli said as he walked towards the city gate: "You should return to the city immediately and all obey the command of Master Mo Sen."
With that said, Mo Sen walked out silently from the side. Although he was not very reliable, he still looked like a great sage just by looking at his face. The premise was that as long as he didn't open his mouth, it would be fine.
"Sir, then you..."
"I will personally lead people to take down Xuti City." An inexplicable smile appeared on Zhou Junli's face, as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time: "And this is the first thing I have collected from them.
A sum of interest.”
"What! Sir, Xuti City..."
When the surrounding soldiers heard that their lord actually wanted to lead people to take down Xuti City, everyone was shocked. Where is Xuti City? It was once a big city as famous as Changguan in the North. Although
Xuti City is more famous for its paradise-like scenery.
But more importantly, that place has been completely destroyed by the barbarians. In terms of defense alone, it may not be as good as upgrading to Linyuan City; although it is much easier to fight than before, such a destroyed area
What is the use of wasteland?
Otherwise, the Principality of Moss would have taken it back long ago.
Karona, who was far away in Annas Chamber of Commerce, had already withdrawn her gaze and was sitting on the sofa wondering what she was thinking. It was also the first time she discovered that Zhou Junli had so many secrets in her body; this made her
Reminds me of a certain Lagu who appeared a long time ago... a girl.
However, that girl has now completely disappeared, and no one has found her whereabouts.
...
"No need to persuade me anymore, just do what you should do; just wait in Linyuan City for the good news of the reward." Zhou Junli looked at the sunset that seemed to have been cut with a hole in the sky, convinced.
He said: "If nothing else happens, you won't have to go through war again in the future."
Before the soldiers in the city could react, Zhou Junli had already walked out of the city. He stopped and silently looked at Hogel, who was bathing in the sunset as if he was enjoying something, without saying a word.
All those centaurs and paladins had disappeared at this time. If it weren't for the bumpy battlefield and the corpses left behind, everything just now seemed like an unreal dream.
At this time, the centaurs had already taken the lead according to Zhou Junli's initial arrangement. Next, it was time for the barbarians to pay the price.
"Master~"
Zhou Junli suddenly felt that his arm seemed to have touched some soft place. He moved his position quietly under Mu Ling's disdainful eyes and looked at Ah Rong who was rushing towards him and the man who was sitting on the horse.
Tina with a tired face.
When can we unlock the air units...or let them regain the ability to fly? In any case, with their strength, they should be able to do this, right?
"Master, Master, she is just pretending." Arong pointed at Tina, and without any hesitation revealed Tina who was trying to catch fish: "All she used was the energy left by others, and she didn't consume it at all.
How many."
Tina rode up to Zhou Junli with a smile on her face, patted her chest and said confidently: "Boss, who do we want to kill next?"
"I am now doubtful about the success rate of our operation." Mu Ling interrupted the crowd at the right time; but her eyes remained on Tina and did not move away.
If these elves were not unconscious, they would have run away, right?
"Master, I..." Hogel turned around and looked at Zhou Junli who was about to say something hesitantly.
But Zhou Junli waved his hand and interrupted what he was about to say: "Go back and rest. Just do whatever you want."
Hogel took a deep look at Zhou Junli and suddenly laughed; he knelt on the ground and caressed his left chest, and said softly: "Yes, Master; I didn't expect that you would...
....”
Zhou Junli smiled and said to Mu Ling behind him: "Let's go, no matter whether you have confidence or not, you can't escape this time."
"Master, who is this woman?"
