Just when Xue Hua and Tarasha were happily watching the movie about angels vs. demons in the ancient tomb, in the outside city of Lugaoin, the smell of war was so strong that even the cockroaches hiding in the corners could smell it clearly.
.
Just at midnight yesterday, the last batch of reconnaissance boats sent from Lugaoyin Port returned to the port. However, there were more than ten requisitioned fishing boats sent out at that time, but only one returned safely in the end.
And it was this fishing boat that sent the most realistic war warning to the entire city of Lu Gaoyin - the demon army that set sail from Kurast was being carried by a huge aquatic monster and headed towards Lu Gaoyin's place.
The Aranok Desert is approaching rapidly and is expected to arrive at the sea off Lugoine by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. By then, all the people in this beautiful desert pearl will have to fight for their own survival.
According to the news brought back by the reconnaissance boat, the number of the demon army was at least one hundred thousand. They just observed from a distance and saw no less than hundreds of them floating on the water, like some kind of giant turtle shells.
A strange snake-like carrying monster.
In addition, the sky was also filled with a large number of winged demons and other flying monsters. Most of the reconnaissance ships were discovered and killed by these monsters.
The last one to survive was because it was lucky enough to find a good-shaped island and reef, so it was not discovered by those flying monsters that were like black clouds covering the sun.
In addition, the frightened crew of the reconnaissance ship also brought back another terrible news that chilled everyone's heart.
That means at least one-third of this group of attacking demons are demon clones!
"...Very good, then we only have one problem to solve now...where should we run?"
In a corps strategy meeting filled with pessimism, a senior officer of Lu Gaoyin's "Brown Wolf" corps unabashedly expressed his despair and fear of the coming war.
His words suddenly made the already extremely dull and depressing conference room look like a haunted house.
Everyone lowered their heads without saying a word, and they were all making their own little calculations in their hearts.
But this is no wonder for them. After all, most of the armies of the human kingdom are just decorations, used at most to maintain domestic security and the king's right to rule.
In the face of demons and monsters, these "well-trained" ordinary people are basically of no use. Their weapons can hardly hurt demons, but the demons can chop them into pieces.
But since Jehein has ordered them to defend the harbor area, if they escape at this time, they may not even survive until the war begins.
After all, deserters who were caught during the war could be killed without asking the reason. Now the entire seaport area is full of professionals and mercenaries. Ordinary soldiers like them can't run far even if they want to.
"Alas..." Farah, who was sitting in the front row, sighed helplessly when he saw the situation below.
Although he also knows that relying on these people to defend the city is not reliable at all, but they are currently short of manpower. Even ordinary people, it is good to at least do logistics work when the war starts...
But with the current morale of these people, I'm afraid letting them do logistics is equivalent to letting them run away.
Fortunately, the professionals on the other side are relatively high-spirited in comparison. These people are either wanderers who have been accustomed to life and death for a long time, or they are fighting masters who have crawled out of the sea of blood from the corpse mountain. Some of them even
Some old professionals who had long since retired to Lugaoyin to take care of their old age were also invited out by Farah and the others this time.
The situation is urgent and they need to mobilize all the forces they can mobilize.
"...If Lu Gaoyin cannot hold it, it will be in vain wherever you run. The western border is already full of demons, and the mountains where Rogge's camp is located will be attacked from both sides. No matter how majestic the Eastern Pass is,
, you won’t be able to hold on for long without material supplies, and you will still have to work hard when the time comes.
So instead of making a desperate struggle at the last moment, it is better to try your best and give it a try while the situation is not bad yet!
Even if you really die, if Lu Gaoyin holds on, your children and family will at least be able to get a safe place to live without having to suffer the pain of wandering..."
Zhuo Genan, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't stand it anymore. He slammed the table, stood up and earnestly wanted to boost the morale of these legion commanders. Only if they didn't give in, the soldiers below would have enough strength.
Courage to face the devil.
However, his words did not have any expected effect at all, and there was still an air of pessimism and despair among the officers in the back row.
"That's easy to say, but actually they just want to trick us into being cannon fodder here!
When the city cannot be defended, you can run away with a slap on the butt, but where will we run?"
An officer, perhaps desperate for his future, shouted directly at Zhuo Genan without any scruples.
"you!"
Zhuo Genan was also furious at this guy, but before he could refute, another officer also stood up.
"That's right! You brought so many brothers from the fleet to support Kurast, but only a few came back in the end?
The girl next door to me just got married to her sailor husband a month ago, but within a few days of serious life, her husband died at sea, and he didn't even pull his body back!
I can now hear the crying from their house every night!
You keep saying that you were caught in a trap or ambushed, and you put the blame on a dead man, but who knows what happened at that time?!
That matter hasn’t been clarified yet! Now you want to use us as cannon fodder?!
Labor and management quit!”
The officer took off his helmet, threw it on the table, turned around and walked out.
Zhuo Genan's face twitched in anger, and an electric arc flashed crazily in his hand.
"Yes! Labor and management are no longer working! If you have the guts, you can kill us here! Anyway, we will be dead by then. Instead of being chopped into meat paste by the devil's knife and used as dry food, labor and management would be better to be electrocuted by you.
Gray!"
The other officer also stood up, threw down his helmet, turned around and walked outside.
The other remaining officers looked at each other and seemed to be a little moved.
Farah, who was sitting next to Drognan, held down his hand. Just as he was about to stand up and say something, Sothea, who was sitting on the other side of him, suddenly rushed out, and his figure turned into a stream of light and hit him instantly.
He walked in between the two officers who had already reached the door of the conference room, and then the spiritual energy at his feet suddenly spread, and the golden sacred fire immediately engulfed the two officers.
The two officers didn't even say a word, and were directly burned into pieces of nothingness by the extremely high-temperature holy fire, with not even ashes left.
It was only then that Sothea's cold voice came from under the shadow of the helmet.
"Nick Dodd, Martin Mossy, disturbing the morale of the army and escaping from battle are punishable by death!
After the punishment is over, the two men will be punished! Their family members will be deprived of their military membership! Lu Gaoyin will be expelled and executed immediately!
Military discipline is as strong as iron! The law cannot tolerate mercy! You all should examine yourselves and make no mistakes!"
