"Old man, you have been here for two days. If you are worried, why don't you go to the back mountain to take refuge?"
War is always cruel.
Although Muyang Town was well prepared for a battle involving all citizens, the old, weak, women and children were all sent to the back hills of Muyang Town.
The last line of defense of Muyang Town was breached.
There is some food stored there, which can allow them to live for a period of time. If they are lucky, they can persist until the end of the war. If they are not lucky, the worst result is that they will be discovered, and death will be waiting for them.
However, one of the old people there stayed.
He is Chen Tian.
I have been standing on the city wall for two full days.
He didn't sleep.
The old face and deep eyes were always looking forward, as if waiting for their arrival.
When Chentian saw the mayor arriving, he just smiled.
"Old man, why not take refuge? If you are lucky enough, you may be able to wait until the war is over."
"Mayor, who do you think will win this war?"
"The Dragon Dynasty has a long history. It has existed for 30,000 years. There have been countless wars and coups in history, but in the end they were all preserved."
"The Shinra Zuntian Clan has a long history. If we really talk about it, I don't know who will win."
"Mayor, it doesn't matter. After all, it's just a discussion."
"Maybe the Dragon Dynasty is really in danger this time."
"Why?"
"Does the old man know the cause of this war?"
"So, I really don't know."
"The prince of the Dragon Dynasty died at Zuntianmen."
"But the dynasty didn't know that they publicized the fact that the prince was imprisoned, so the Dragon Dynasty sent super powerful people."
"But I didn't expect to fall into the trap."
"In that battle, several of the most important key figures of the Dragon Dynasty were killed."
"So before the battle even started, the Dragon Dynasty had already lost the opportunity."
"Didn't anyone from the Dragon Dynasty have any doubts?"
"That is the prince, the future of the dynasty. Even if they guessed it, they would still go without hesitation."
"Yes, there is no turning back in life."
"Mayor, do you think we can hold Muyang Town?"
"The old gentleman already has the answer in his mind, so why bother asking me?"
When the mayor said this, he looked a little lonely and sad.
"Then tell me, why do people always refuse to give up when they know they may die and fail? Why do they always waste meaningless lives?"
"The old gentleman's words are a bit too profound."
"Mayor, what about you? You should know that we alone cannot save Muyang Town."
"Actually, just like in the beginning, the mayor could have ignored these refugees. Although you did not open the city gate, you opened the warehouse to provide relief to the refugees."
"The reason why the city gates are not opened is to protect one's own people. The reason why the city gates are opened is to protect the compatriots. The mayor has a just heart, and I admire him very much."
"Old sir, please stop making fun of me."
"I am not as noble as you say. I am also afraid and panicked. I also have a family and I am also afraid of losing them."
"I am just born as a human being, and all I can do is what I can do as a human being."
"My talent is limited, this is the limit of what I can do."
"The reason why I didn't leave is because this is the home where I grew up."
"Even if I leave, I will just be homeless like them."
"Besides, there are my relatives, my family, my lover, and my children in Muyang Town."
"You knew you were going to die, but you didn't back down?"
"Of course, because I need to protect them."
"Then tell me, if someone in this world clearly has the energy to protect what he wants to protect, but in the end he chooses to escape, should he be forgiven?"
Chentian's words are profound.
The mayor stared at Chen Tian for a long time.
"have no idea."
"If you, mayor, had such extraordinary abilities, what would you do?"
"In the face of injustice in the world, and in the face of injustice in the world, I will protect the people I cherish."
"Mayor, you are indeed a good person."
"Don't worry, we won't necessarily lose this battle."
Chentian smiled.
The mayor was a little confused when he heard it. He always felt that Chen Tian's words had other meanings, but he couldn't understand it so thoroughly. He just vaguely felt that this old man didn't look simple.
"Old man, you should also take a rest."
"As we get older, we can no longer sleep."
"All right."
"By the way, Mayor, if you don't have much life left, what would you most like to do?"
"Me?"
"You probably want to be with your loved ones."
"I see."
Chentian nodded.
"Mayor, please check other places to make sure that everyone in each position is safe."
"OK."
The mayor went to another place for inspection. He always felt that the old man tonight was a little weird. Although the questions he asked were a bit inexplicable, he always felt that those words were not asking him, but the old man himself.
The night wind blows quietly.
Chen Tian's eyes were focused on the sky.
"I hope everything comes in time."
Xia Chen's deep eyes seemed to be meditating and waiting for something.
Later in the night.
The moon is like a silver plate.
But the people in the entire Muyang Town were not sleepy at all.
Chen Tian, who was standing on the city wall, seemed to be waiting for something.
At this moment, a trumpet sounded from the highest sentry post.
This sound means the enemy is coming.
Then the war drums beat.
The war has begun! As a little light appears in the distance, countless rays of light shine in front of people's eyes.
Hundreds of thousands of troops arrived a hundred miles away from Muyang Town.
These people are not neat.
But everyone was stained with blood.
Apparently, they only stopped for a short time after breaking through Nancheng and then continued southward.
Because they also know that ahead is Muyang Town.
They just want to catch each other off guard.
These people came towards Muyang Town excitedly.
At this time, the sound of war drums was shocking.
"What's going on in Shepherd Town?"
"You knew we were coming, so why did you beat the gongs and drums?"
The disciples of the sect laughed wildly.
"Shut up, everyone. That's drumming before the war. The people in Muyang Town already know that we are coming."
"How is it possible? Even the people from the Dragon Dynasty don't know we are coming."
After they captured Nancheng, they came here non-stop.
Even the Dragon Dynasty didn't know about it, so how could the people in Muyang Town know about it.
"I don't care if they know it or not, Muyang Town is just a bunch of ants. You don't even have to take action to scare them into surrender!!"
While they were talking, hundreds of thousands of people arrived below Muyang Town.
But when they arrived at Muyang Town, they were dumbfounded! The city wall was twenty meters high.
Turning Muyang Town into a fortress!! "Grass, is this Muyang Town?"
"Did you go the wrong way?"
The sect forces were completely dumbfounded.
In their impression, Muyang Town is just a backward village.
When did the specifications for the fortress become available?
"Where is the mayor of Muyang Town!!"
"I am the deputy sect leader of the eighth-grade sect, why don't you come out and speak!!"
"I am the mayor of Muyang Town, what do you want?"
"Open the city gate immediately, otherwise you will be slaughtered in Muyang Town!"
"Paralyze you."
"Who doesn't know that you went south to kill tens of millions of people? Do you think we will believe you!!"
The refugees on the fortress roared crazily.
"You guys, I'll give you one last chance!!"
"Open the city gate, otherwise once we storm the gate, we will definitely massacre all the people in Muyang Town!!"
"But if you open the door now, we only need to repair the army and find food and grass, and then you can be safe and sound!!"
"Don't believe them!!"
"They said the same thing in the previous towns, but after the city gate was opened, they did all kinds of evil. These crazy bastards, they are not human beings!!"
In this world of martial arts, practitioners never care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people.
Because cultivators can raise their hands and destroy them into ashes.
Therefore, they will not keep their promises to these people.
"Shut up, noisy!"
"I'll give you ten breaths to think about it!!"
"After ten breaths, my army will attack the city, and no one will be left alive!!"
"ten!!"
The other party starts reading.
The whole city was in panic.
"Calm down!!"
"Why are we waiting here? To protect our last home and to maintain our remaining dignity!!"
"Nine!!"
"eight!!"
"Count you!"
"Come here, get on the chariot and fight!!!"
An old man shouted from the city wall.
"What are you doing in a daze? Throw stones!!"
Boom boom boom!!! Soon, an extremely shocking scene appeared in the night.
On the twenty-meter city wall, a huge stone burning with flames fell to the ground like a meteor.
Although practitioners are strong.
But when they were unprepared and defenseless.
These stones gave them a head-on punch.
For a time, blood flowed into a river and there was a lot of wailing.
"Grass!!"
"Everyone, get on me!!!"
The sect forces are preparing to attack.
Hundreds of thousands of people carried the boulder.
But what they didn't expect was that boulders kept falling, causing the cultivators to suffer heavy losses.
Although they also have elixirs, the elixir resources are not endless.
Especially during the war, it is even more precious.
"You actually blocked it?"
The mayor said with a shocked face, and at the same time he looked at Chen Tian on the city wall.
They didn't expect much from doing this.
But when you see the effect in front of you, especially the effect that Chen Tian proposed to use the phosphorus on the rock ash to ignite the boulders, it is even more amazing.
Moreover, the huge rocks falling on the ground also hindered their progress.
After all, the Qi Condensation Realm cannot fly!! This is the best advantage for Muyang Town!! "What the hell is going on in Muyang Town!!"
"Fuck, you actually know how to throw stones to block our progress!!"
"Damn ants!!"
"Deputy Sect Master Li, ordered a strong attack, I will cut those people into pieces!!"
"No, let's repair it overnight. We have been traveling all night, and we are already exhausted at this moment."
"Wait until early tomorrow morning and attack Muyang Town!!"
"Everyone rest where you are, have a good rest, we will fight again tomorrow morning!!"
Chentian saw them setting up camp and immediately said to the crowd.
