Suddenly there were more than 200 people in Dongcheng, dressed in rags and extremely slovenly.
These people were like homeless people, unkempt and smelled bad.
But the eyes of these guys are more fierce than the last, and ordinary people will tremble in fear when they look at them.
Naturally, these people are not homeless people, but death row prisoners.
Last night, Meng Xinghe personally went to the third floor of the prison to give those death row inmates a chance to live.
And this opportunity is that these death row prisoners are needed to help fight against the beast tide. If these death row prisoners can survive the beast tide, then they will be released without charge.
The third floor of the sky jail houses more than 300 death row inmates.
After hearing the conditions mentioned by Meng Xinghe, more than 200 death row inmates agreed, while more than 100 death row inmates were unwilling.
Meng Xinghe did not force the remaining more than a hundred death row prisoners. He had already given them the opportunity. It was up to them to decide whether they wanted to seize this opportunity or not.
The idea of these death row inmates who agreed to the conditions was actually very simple. Since they knew that they were bound to die, or that they had to be locked up in that dark dungeon forever, they might as well fight to the death, and maybe there was still a glimmer of hope.
Meng Xinghe also knew that doing so was unethical and even against the rules.
But in the face of the terrifying beast tide, he had to do this in order to defend Snowstorm City. Even if he was held accountable afterwards, that would be a matter for the future. The most important thing now was to defend Snowstorm City No. 6.
Moreover, there is no precedent for using death row prisoners to fight against the beast tide, but this is the first time Meng Xinghe has done this.
He also struggled internally for a long time before finally making a decision.
More than two hundred prisoners on death row were equipped with swords and spiritual bows, and there was no armor to wear.
Jian Taihe led two hundred city guards to supervise the battle in the rear to prevent these death row prisoners from escaping in the chaos.
The city gate opened, and more than two hundred condemned prisoners rushed to the front, followed closely by Jian Taihe and other two hundred city guards, who rushed out together.
Meng Xinghe clenched his fists tightly, a look of painful struggle appeared on his face, and he couldn't bear it.
He knew that once these death row prisoners left the city and faced the terrifying tide of beasts, less than one tenth of them would survive.
These death row inmates did not have to die so quickly, or at all. They just had to spend the rest of their lives on the third floor of the prison.
But because of one of his decisions, the fate of these people changed.
Meng Xinghe has never been a ruthless person, and it is difficult for him to be truly ruthless.
At this moment, he could only keep comforting himself in his heart. These people were death row prisoners, and they were all guilty people. Letting them fight against the beast tide also allowed them to atone for their sins. It was also an honor for them to die on the battlefield.
Only by constantly comforting himself in this way can Meng Xinghe feel better inside.
"kill!!!"
The death row prisoners have already started fighting against the terrifying beast tide.
Most of these prisoners on death row are ruthless, and in order to survive, their ruthlessness is fully aroused, and they fight with a completely lifeless attitude.
Just looking at that momentum makes people terrified.
Occasionally, there were one or two who tried to escape by being clever, but they were discovered by the supervising team led by Jian Taihe at the rear and killed on the spot.
Although they were the supervising team, Jian Taihe and the others were not just watching the show. They were also responsible for fighting against the monsters surrounding them from both sides, but they did not fight the monsters head-on.
This fight was extremely brutal. Almost every death row inmate was fighting tooth and nail, truly desperate, because they knew that if they didn't fight hard, they would die faster.
Death row prisoners fell down one after another around them, torn to pieces by the monsters, with no bones left.
All the prisoners on death row were red-eyed, and their tattered clothes were even more tattered, and were all stained red with blood. They didn't know if the blood was their own, that of their companions, or that of monsters. They could no longer tell the difference.
Now there is only one thought in their minds, fight hard and survive!
The fierce fighting continued, and I don't know how long it lasted.
The drums of retreat finally sounded.
These death row prisoners and the supervisory team then retreated and prepared to return to the city.
The city guards on the city wall covered their retreat, the city gate opened, and a group of people returned to the city.
Meng Xinghe came down from the city wall and looked at the people who had just returned. His eyes fell on the death row prisoners with a strange expression.
When we set out, there were more than 200 death row prisoners, but now only a dozen people came back.
The casualties were more tragic than Meng Xinghe imagined, and less than one-tenth of the death row prisoners returned.
In addition, the supervising team led by Jian Taihe also lost more than thirty people, and almost all of those who came back alive were injured.
These death row prisoners were so desperate that, with more than 200 people, they killed six to seven thousand monsters. It was like a miracle.
If they were not on death row, Meng Xinghe would have given them meritorious service and rewards.
Looking at the dozens of death row prisoners who came back alive, all of them were injured and covered in blood, just like bloody people. In severe cases, they were missing arms and legs.
"You are free!"
Meng Xinghe said loudly.
Upon hearing this, more than a dozen death row prisoners dropped their weapons one by one and collapsed on the ground. Some of them even cried with joy.
It’s too difficult, it’s too difficult! It’s not easy!
Through their own efforts, they finally got a chance to regain their freedom and a new life.
Meng Xinghe's original promise to them was that when the beast tide was victorious and these people could still survive, he would let them regain their freedom.
If we really wait until the beast tide is victorious, these guys on death row may not even be able to find their bones.
Moreover, all of these people were seriously injured and basically lost their fighting ability.
Meng Xinghe felt soft and did not continue to embarrass them. He made an impromptu decision and decided to fulfill his promise at this time.
Meng Xinghe ignored these death row prisoners and quickly returned to commanding the fight against the beast tide.
With the desperate fighting of those death row prisoners, the beast tide offensive in Dongcheng was temporarily suspended.
…
This side of Nancheng.
Xu Qingyun personally led 300 city guards to form an army of talisman, and used the talisman formation to kill the beast tide monsters.
Just like yesterday, the difference is that yesterday it was on the North City side, and today it is on the South City side.
The tactics are still the same as yesterday, attract monsters, then use three different talismans alternately, and finally break out of the siege, trying to eliminate as many monsters as possible.
But things like talismans are really useless. After a few rounds, the talismans are almost used up.
Xu Qingyun himself did not think about it. Hundreds of people were using the talismans at the same time. No matter how many talismans there were, they would not be enough.
The talismans were almost exhausted, so Xu Qingyun led his army of talismans to retreat.
His army of talismans has been trained with great difficulty. If there are heavy casualties, it will be more troublesome to replenish them.
Therefore, Xu Qingyun will try his best to protect them and will not let them fight monsters head-on without talismans.
Technical talents will receive protection and special treatment.
It seems a little unfair, but there is nothing we can do about it. This is the cruel reality.
