His city wall stands on the transportation thoroughfare of the Yanyun Mountains, cutting off the only way between the Monster Clan and the Human Race's Northern Territory. If the Monster Clan wants to enter the Human Race's Northern Territory, it must pass through here.
It was a moonlit night with few stars.
When a dark cloud passed by and covered the moon in the sky, the sky was like a dark curtain. As the moonlight disappeared, the earth also became dark.
A young soldier on duty in the city was yawning.
"Boy, did you go to the brothel again yesterday? You just spent the night, and you were yawning all the time..."
The person next to him joked.
"No, my mother told me about a marriage yesterday and asked me to meet the girl. We both fell in love. We drank a lot with my future father-in-law at her house, so I can't feel energetic right now...
"
The young soldier said with a blushing face.
"Oh...boy, that's okay! Remember to invite me when the time comes, so I can have a cup of wedding wine. My mother-in-law is too strict at home, so I can just relax and have some drinks at the wedding banquet..."
"Easy to say, easy to say. I will definitely invite Uncle Li to come over when the time comes... uh..."
The young soldier was about to say a few polite words when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
He looked down at his chest and saw an arrow emerging from his front clothing. The sharp arrow was dazzling with scarlet red.
"Ahem...enemy attack..."
The young soldier coughed up a lot of blood, uttered two words, and then fell on the city wall.
"call out!"
There was another sound of breaking through the air, and a cold light shot towards another person on the city wall.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
I saw the man lying down on the spot, rolling over, and roaring loudly.
"Clang clang clang!"
The warning bell rang quickly and urgently, waking up everyone in the city.
"Each battalion gathers urgently! According to wartime drills, quickly go to your own defense area!"
In the barracks, a red-armored general ordered.
"Guards! Follow me to the top of the city!"
After the red-armored general finished speaking, he headed directly towards the city.
After he climbed to the top of the city, he saw the enemy troops rushing in like a tide through the faint moonlight.
"call out!"
Among the attacking team, there was a cold light coming straight towards the red-armored general.
"General, be careful!"
One of the guards saw an incoming hidden arrow and stood in front of the red-armored general.
"Step aside!"
The red-armored general pushed the guard away and faced the arrow.
There was a cold light reflected in the pupils of the red-armored general. As the sharp arrow approached rapidly, the shadow of the arrow in his pupils was constantly enlarging!
"Whoosh!"
Just when the arrow was about to hit the red-armored general, he suddenly stretched out his big hand and grabbed it.
"Ah!"
The red-armored general threw the feather arrow towards the city, piercing the bodies of the two men.
"General Zhou, how is the situation?"
The city lord of Yanyun City climbed onto the city wall and said urgently.
This red-armored general was none other than Zhou Yu who was in Xuzhou City. Because of his "proper handling" of the Devil Legion gate fight last time, the prince used his authority to transfer him to Yanyun City to guard the border.
However, this is exactly what Zhou Yu wants, and he is still grateful to the Crown Prince. He is not suitable to stay in the interior and participate in those intrigues. The border garrison can just stay away from those intrigues.
"Lord City Lord, the situation is not optimistic! This time the demon clan is well prepared and their number is ten times that of our army. Please also Lord City Lord open the north city gate and lead the people in the city to leave quickly!"
Zhou Yu looked at the dark demon troops below, his face sinking like water.
"This... so many! Are the demon clan crazy? Isn't this a time of peace? What are they trying to do?"
City Lord Yanyun glanced at the enemy troops rushing in from a distance, his face pale.
"I don't know! But there is no time now. Please lead the city lord to evacuate quickly! I will lead the soldiers to defend Yanyun City and buy time for you!"
Zhou Yu looked at City Lord Yanyun and said in a deep voice.
"General Zhou! Take care!"
Lord Yanyun looked at Zhou Yu with red eyes.
He knew that staying behind and facing an enemy force ten times his own would mean death!
"Let's go!"
Zhou Yu drew his sword and blocked an arrow.
City Lord Yanyun bowed to Zhou Yu with his fists raised, then turned and left.
When he came to the stairs, he stopped.
"General Zhou, I don't want to disturb the morale of the army. I just want to say that if something cannot be done, then don't do it. After the war, if there is a chance, General Zhou should leave too!"
Lord Yanyun said in a deep voice.
"Lord City Lord, I can't leave! I can't leave either! My brothers are here, and I want to stay with them! As for the other people in the city, it's up to you, Lord City Lord!"
Zhou Yu looked at City Lord Yanyun and grinned.
When two armies are fighting, if a general on one side suddenly flees, his morale will be greatly reduced.
Besides, if they don't guard, the people in the city will definitely not have enough time to escape. Only by staying can he buy more time for these people!
"General Zhou! Take care! If things come to the worst, I will be the one standing at the front just like General Zhou! After all, who can be sent to the border without some personality!"
City Lord Yanyun looked at Zhou Yu with a bright smile and firm eyes, feeling panicked in his heart.
He understood the meaning of Zhou Yu's words.
He wanted to stay behind and give himself more time to lead the residents of the city to escape.
"Hahaha... What a pity! After many years in Yanyun City, I finally discovered that the Lord of the City is also a sweetheart. It's a pity that I discovered it too late and there was no chance of friendship!"
Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed out loud.
"Lord City Lord! They...just leave it to you!"
"General Zhou! Take care!"
After Yanyun City Master finished speaking, he quickly headed towards the city.
"Liu Ming, I have something I need you to do!"
Zhou Yu looked at the youngest member of the Guards and said.
"General, what's the matter?"
Liu Ming cupped his fists and saluted.
"You leave Yanyun City and convey the military information here back to the palace!"
Zhou Yu looked at Liu Ming and said in a deep voice.
The guards looked at Liu Ming and smiled knowingly.
"No, why me? Won't the city lord send the news back? I want to stay!"
Liu Ming said excitedly after hearing this.
"Boy, do you want to disobey me? You are the youngest here. Young people have good legs and feet and can run faster..."
A bearded man kicked Liu Ming and cursed with a smile.
"No! I won't leave! Brother Li always comes first in every training. He is the fastest. Let him deliver the letter..."
Liu Ming pursed his lips tightly and said with a slight cry.
He understood what the general meant, so asking him to deliver the message was giving him a chance to live!
"I strained my leg during training yesterday, so I can't ride a horse or travel far. It's better for you to go..."
One of the guards looked at Liu Ming and grinned.
"Then Brother Wang has better physical endurance than me and is more suitable for long-distance travel. Let Brother Zhang go..."
Liu Ming looked at a young man and said.
"I've had a bad stomach these past two days, and I feel uncomfortable. I can't stand the torture..."
