Chapter 336: He Wants Us... Move?
"Captain, what do we do now? The orcs seem to have arrived. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
In the armory, not far from the West City Gate, a sallow-faced, disheveled man looked like a soldier who hadn't eaten or rested for days, looking at his commander with a worried face.
This middle-aged man, known as the captain, was the captain of the city guard who was in charge of the West Gate before.
What is different from the previous is that although the previous captain of the city guard has also experienced a difficult battle, except for some fatigue, his face and demeanor can be called good in all aspects.
Now, however, he looks like one of those homeless beggars who wander the streets and alleys, nibbling on the scraps of the trash cans when they are hungry. If it weren't for this military uniform, which symbolized the Imperial soldiers, I believe that anyone who saw this captain of the city would never think that he was once an Imperial soldier who adhered to his military duties!
There are nearly 100 people in the same state as the captain of the city guard. Except for those who were injured, compared to the rest of the soldiers, the mental state of the captain of the city guard was actually quite good.
From this, you can see how hard their lives are these days.
"Is there a way to notify them?"
Seeing this man who forced himself to cheer up and face his subordinates, the captain of the city guard couldn't help but sigh and asked helplessly.
"This ......"
The stiff expressions of his subordinates let the captain of the garrison know that he had no way to inform the outside of the situation. After all, if you want to communicate with the people outside with the city gates closed, you can only do it by shouting or standing on the city walls.
But now......
The captain of the city guard smiled wryly, and his eyes looked out of the window. There, an army of walking corpse-like creatures piled up at the gates of the city like dead meat.
In that case, although it may seem unaggressive, the captain of the castle has no doubt that if you make these guys feel any familiar breath or voice of the living, they will definitely pounce on you like the craziest dogs.
"Is there really no way out......
The captain of the garrison sighed.
But the soldier who had been standing in front of him flashed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Or... Captain, it's up to me to lure those monsters away, and you take advantage of this to quickly organize the others to open the gate. ā
These are demonic beings, with hearing and perception of the living that are several times sharper than ordinary people, and almost any wind and grass can alarm them. The soldier who made this suggestion obviously knew about it, but in order to inform the people outside, and for the sake of these brothers in the armory, he made the most difficult decision of his life!
"No, let me go!"
The next second the soldier made this suggestion, another passionate voice rang out.
However, the owner of this voice was intercepted by an elderly veteran: "Let me come, I am older than all of you, and I am going to retire, and if I die, I will die." But you are different, you are young and strong, and you have more time and strength to dedicate to the Empire. ā
Seeing that there were still quite a few soldiers standing up at such a critical moment, the captain of the city guard felt that his eyes were warm. He knew that if it weren't for the fact that a few of his dead brothers suddenly became those monsters, things wouldn't have turned out the way they were.
Now, the captain of the city guard could only take a deep breath, looking at the faces that were sallow but full of fearless spirit, and could only say in a low and choked voice: "You are the pride of the imperial soldiers! ā
After saying the last sentence, a thin soldier was chosen by the captain of the city guard.
It was not for nothing that this soldier was chosen for his relatively thin size, because if you want to be responsible for distracting the monsters that are blocking the city gates, you must have a guy who is not only fast, but also able to move freely in various environments, and has a sharp and direct response to danger.
That's why the captain of the city guard chose this skinny soldier. Because he remembered that this young man seemed to have done this kind of work as a scout before. As for the strong others, although they are also suitable candidates, it is a pity that they are not fast enough.
"Your job is to get the monsters out of the way so we can open the gates, understand?"
Looking at the solemn expression of the captain of the city guard, the thin soldier just nodded, although there was a trace of fear on his face, he did not retreat because of this.
But just as everyone was ready to go, and the thin soldier was about to rush out first, a distant voice came from through the thick city walls.
"Did you hear anything just now?"
An Imperial soldier looked at the horizon in confusion.
As for the others, they looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"Well, I think I heard that, too."
"Me too."
āā¦ā¦ā
Just when the group of soldiers who were ready to die stopped moving forward because of this sound, the sound once again came to everyone's ears. And this time, it's even clearer than just now!
"What did that voice say?"
The old soldier obviously didn't have good ears, and asked with a blank expression.
"The voice said... Move? ā
At the moment when these words fell, an explosion resounded throughout the Dawn Barrier.
Looking at the city gate that was blown open by the huge energy impact, all the soldiers were confused on their faces......
The roaring explosion made everyone feel deaf for a short time, and the monsters that had been piled up at the city gate to give everyone a headache didn't have time to scream, and instantly turned into a pile of flying flesh.
The captain of the city guard looked at this scene dumbfounded, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: ", what the hell is going on?" ā
"Whew-"
On the other side, under the ghostly gaze of all the orcs, Zoeko exhaled a long breath, then hooked her lips, hugged Jiang Liu's arm with her backhand, looked at the scene she had caused, and asked triumphantly: "Nana, master, is Zoeko okay?" ā
Swallowing lightly, he looked down at Zoeko, who was holding him, and the career line that he could see from this angle. Jiang Liu couldn't help but mourn for a few seconds for the monsters in the city who were killed by this girl's energy ball.
That's right, not long ago, Zoeko used the energy ball that was more powerful than the tailed beast jade to attack. It's just that what Jiang Liu didn't expect was that compared to the battleship that bombed the rocket team last time, the energy ball this time was definitely not of an order of magnitude in terms of strength or power!
"Because last time they controlled their strength very well?"
As if knowing what Jiang Liu was thinking, Zoeko stuck out her tongue and continued to explain: "And Zoeko was also afraid that Susan and her brother would be lost, so she didn't do much. ā
