After leaving Tianmen Pass, there is a wilderness.
As far as the eye can see, there are still many corpses left in this wilderness, and horses' hooves often startle a flock of birds.
"The lonely city guarded by the Marquis is not far from here." Lu Qi said.
After leaving the city gate, Lu Qi's vigilance was obviously at its peak.
There is no tall city wall to protect this place. If there is a tide of beasts, the few people like them will definitely be devoured and not even the dregs will be left.
Along the way, Lu Yu also saw some destroyed villages.
These villages have been completely destroyed, with countless houses showing signs of being burned by fire, and the ground covered with corpses.
"These are all places that have been swept by the beast tide. Originally, there were many people living here, but now they have either been swallowed up by the beasts, or they have been displaced and homeless." Lu Qi sighed.
Everyone continued to walk forward, and in the distance, they could vaguely see the outline of a city.
It was an isolated city with extremely high walls. The entire city was backed by a high mountain and surrounded by endless wilderness.
"Oops."
Lu Qi suddenly exclaimed.
Not only him, but also everyone else saw the scene below the city.
In front of the entire lone city, looking around, I could see a vast expanse of monsters gathering together and struggling to attack the city.
It was so dark that one could not help but feel a sense of depression.
Lu Qi can be considered a person who has experienced the battlefield, but seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Is this an outpouring of force? Even at Tianmen Pass, we never encountered so many monsters!" Lu Qi murmured.
The group of people all stopped and looked at everything in front of them.
Above the isolated city, countless flags were fluttering, and soldiers were fighting hard.
Although those monster beasts do not have siege equipment, each monster beast is huge and powerful.
Their eyes are filled with bloodthirsty light, making people shudder when they see them.
A group of monsters gathered together, and then gathered to a certain height, then rushed up to the city wall, biting them randomly.
Often when a monster rushes onto the city wall, it will cause a cry of exclamation.
Even if they are driven back, these monsters will take away several lives.
Lu Qi's face changed when he saw this scene: "Master, we'd better not go over there. There are too many of these monsters."
As for the guards, this is even more true.
They can serve as the bodyguards of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, so naturally they are all veterans who have experienced many battles.
But in the past, the battlefields they faced were all about fighting with humans. Never before had they seen such piles of monsters.
"Master, let's go, it's too dangerous here." The guards also began to persuade Lu Yu.
After all, no matter how strong Lu Yu is, he is still only one person.
How can one person resist such monsters that appear in groups?
…
On the other side of the beast tide, several carriages slowly stopped.
Several old men walked out of the carriage. Although they were old, their steps were steady and they exuded a powerful aura.
"A few of you, the people that this guy is leading are right there." A general pointed at Lu Yu's group in the distance and said to the old man beside him.
His status in the Liang Army was not low, but standing in front of these old men, he acted very humble.
Nothing else, just because these old men in front of me are all enshrined in the palace!
These palace envoys have no idea what happened in Longjing.
In just a few days, the entire worship hall in Longjing collapsed, and even the imperial palace was blocked by the imperial army. Even if someone sent a message, it would not be so fast.
Besides, even if they knew it, they probably wouldn't believe it.
"Is that the boy?"
A priest glanced at Lu Yu's back, his eyes full of disdain: "The isolated city is besieged by thousands of beasts. It won't last long. They are not enough people to protect themselves. What can they do to save Yongping Marquis?"
