Three hundred and thirtieth IX dark clouds press the city to destroy
Chapter 339: Dark clouds are pressing against the city and want to destroy it
Finally, in the evening, the scout came back, but it brought news that made everyone despair.
All the scouts, Joyna came back alone, all the hunting shadows were dead, and Joyna was also injured.
"This... cannot, cannot, absolutely cannot!" The main priest of Monaco almost fell down, "One hundred thousand army, little girl, you must have read it wrong, haha, you are exaggerating!"
However, no one could laugh at everyone who knew Joyna's strength, especially Zou Liang. Even Joyna's stealth ability was difficult to detect, but Joyna was discovered.
"The number of enemies is definitely more than 100,000, and there are no enemies at a glance. They also have heavy siege equipment. I swear in the name of the Beast God, every sentence is true!"
Lu Yao, who was standing beside her, was already helping Joyina bandage the wound, but Joyina broke free. This catwoman, who looked gentle but had a strong heart, was obviously hit hard.
"Tell me in detail." Zou Liang tried his best to calm himself down. He told himself that quantity was not the most terrifying.
"My companions and I avoided the patrol of the opponent's cavalry and followed a team of cavalry to find their base camp."
"This is impossible. How could we not find out so many people?" Monaco refused to accept this fact.
"Hmph, barbarian cavalry are burning and looting everywhere. Who will go to reconnaise?" Cote said coldly.
Zou Liang's heart also sank. He still lacked experience. He always thought that the cruel killing of the barbarians was just to rob supplies. In fact, the most important thing was to prevent the real force from being exposed. Under the cruel methods of the barbarians, nearby villages and towns either fled to the city, fled far away, or were killed. The city guards hid in Duolan City, and no one would go to reconnaissance at all.
Monaco was also speechless, but he was still underestimated. It was not him who was the one who was in charge of Dolan City. If you want to pursue responsibility, you should find the consul.
"What happened later?"
"I was shocked when I saw countless tents, so I discussed with President Laro's decision to sneak in while the night was falling and learn more detailed information. I was too careless and was discovered when I touched their central military tent."
Joyna bit her lip and fell into deep self-blame.
"With your strength and night cover, how could you be discovered?"
"It's their leader, Aoria, known as the number one master of the wilderness, they are discussing the attack plan. I just want to get closer and listen, but I was discovered after just moving. President Hesenway and other hunting shadows died to cover me."
Joyna said this and just held back her tears, obviously blaming herself for her mistakes.
"...you, you said Aoria..." Monaco's face turned extremely pale at that time, "It's over, it's over, we're over."
Zou Liang pulled up Monaco, "What is Aoria!"
"He is not a thing, he is the number one master of the wilderness, an enemy of ten thousand people. Even a Jin Yao-level warrior cannot stop his attack. I heard that he has unified the barbaric world, Beast God, this is actually true. How can you abandon us?"
Monaco obviously couldn't stand such a blow. Zou Liang put down the main priest, and the whole conference room was silent. No one expected it to be like this. He thought it would be at most eight thousand cavalry, but now they only had temporary defensive power of less than two thousand men, but they were facing hundreds of thousands of barbarian warriors. The most terrifying thing was that they also had siege equipment and enough food.
The suffocation of death, Sophie, Cinda and others were considered the best in the younger generation of the southern provinces, and their faces were pale at this time. Everyone knew Joyna's strength, but she didn't even have the courage to attack in front of that Aoria. What a terrible person this is.
The priest squatted on the ground alone, holding his head, muttering constantly, full of despair.
The others could only look at Zou Liang. Even the always brave Ernest could not say a word. They were not afraid of death, but were afraid of despair.
Zou Liang didn't move. He knew for a long time that he was not a god, nor even the protagonist. Aoria, the most powerful man in the wilderness, led an army of 100,000, and at the same time he understood the way of reality and reality. His preparations were more comprehensive than him. Now it was too late. He was facing a real strong man and his extremely strong army.
What do you have?
In addition to the solid city walls, there are also a group of brothers, what else can they use to block this huge army?
Asking for help?
It must be too late, and the other party had definitely thought of it. What's more important is that the barbarians have been raging for a day or two, and there is no movement in the surrounding cities. Zou Liang knew very well that he could not have a trace of luck in this situation.
The first time he felt the eyes of his brothers, but he had no choice.
At this time a knight came in and broke the stagnant atmosphere.
"Report to the Special Envoy, Lord Priest..." The knight stopped talking.
"Say!" Zou Liang's voice was also a little low.
"You guessed this, we found the entrance of the secret passage in the consul's mansion. The consul and more than one hundred city guards have run away, and the secret passage has also been destroyed."
This news is undoubtedly a matter of injustice. Zou Liang could see that everyone had lost their confidence, and this kind of betrayal made everyone desperate.
"Ah, yes, escape, envoy, let's run too. We still have time to run now, we must have time!" Monaco said madly.
Zou Liang suddenly cut Monaco's neck with his backhand, and the priest fell down.
At this time, everyone looked at Zou Liang, and no one paid attention to the main priest. "The enemy is an army, and it is taking a siege. When Joyna was discovered, the entire army might have been dispatched. We only have one day left. If it is early, the enemy's army will arrive tomorrow afternoon. At this time, running will only hit the enemy's army head-on."
Zou Liang's voice was very heavy, "But, if it were an individual, maybe there was a chance. Everyone shouldn't be involved in this war. Whoever wants to leave should go."
After saying that, Zou Liang left, leaving behind a room of silent people.
This is not an adventure, and the barbarians will not leave a living mouth.
Everyone is facing a living choice. They are still young and have a great future. Now they leave the city and have a great chance to leave. If they hold on to it here, they will only be a dead end.
In the room, Zou Liang did not light the light. In the dark, he could hide the fragility in his heart. To be honest, he really wanted to leave. He finally got to this point. With the support of Subaru and Thomas, plus his own abilities, he would definitely be able to do something in the future. Staying there would be a dead end. He could not find any possibility of victory.
No matter what, he should leave, keep the green mountains without fear of burning fire. This is a famous saying. Zhuge Liang once said that thirty-six strategies are the best strategy.
Zou Liang picked up the jar of wine and poured the hot spirit down his throat.
Reason, but damn, what happened to him? He couldn't leave here. I don't know when he actually became a priest. These days he could see the expectations and trust of those refugees for him, but he couldn't leave.
In the darkness, Zou Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Grandma's Bill, it seems that it's a tragedy in this life.
A figure sat next to him silently, quietly snuggling at him without saying a word.
"Emma, I'll let Ounister take you away later!"
Suddenly, Zou Liang found that there was only one woman he really had in his two lives, that is, the woman he accidentally was ignored in front of him, and at this time she was still the only one by his side.
In the darkness, Emma shook her head, "Arthur, do you know that you are the best man I have ever met. Being with you is the most correct decision in my life. I will not leave you."
Emma's voice was very calm, and her eyes in the darkness were extremely strong. Facing desperate situations and death, Emma was braver than Zou Liang.
...
It's dawn, it's always dawn.
Zou Liang didn't sleep all night, and he couldn't sleep at all. Although he knew it was impossible, it was definitely not his style to surrender. City Hall, Ernest, Luyao, Cote, Randy... all the brothers were waiting for him, and this night was hard for everyone.
They were waiting for Arthur, and they stayed, and they all knew their fate very well, but they stayed because the man stayed, and they would not leave.
Zou Liang nodded and said nothing more, because all this went beyond language.
The outside of the city hall was full of people, without an airtight wall, and rumors spread everywhere. The barbarian demon king led a large army, and the consul had already run away. Now people are in panic, but they dare not show up at will. The barbarian cavalry outside wandered around, and once they were discovered, they would definitely be killed.
Everyone gathered at the entrance of the city hall, hoping that the envoy would give them accurate news.
Zou Liang was ready, and an unexpected figure appeared, Monaco, but he hadn't even run away.
"Sir, it's a surprise."
Indeed, everyone was surprised that he was the first to yell at running away yesterday.
Monaco smiled bitterly, "That slap is very accurate. I am so old and have been in Duolan City for the rest of my life. Where can I go?"
"Very good, Lord Priest, we can guard Duolan City together!"
"Ahem, Lord Arthur, you are joking. In fact, you should have taken them away. You are still young and have a future. It's enough to have me here to bury him."
Monaco obviously didn't sleep all night, but the priest finally found true faith at the critical moment of life and death, because he suddenly realized that he had left Duolan City, living was no different from dead. People sometimes became enlightened at the critical moment of life and death.
A strong smile appeared on the corner of Zou Liang's mouth. Maybe it was not a smile, but just a kind of firmness that gave himself, "I didn't joke, maybe we can keep it!"
"You are joking, in power... No, that bastard Ayasen would just run away by himself, but he also took away so many city guards. We only have more than a thousand people, how can we defend it?"
"Master Priest, you just need to do what I said."
