On August 9, the weather was as hot as if everything on the earth was to be cooked. What's even more terrible is that Dongfrost City has not had any supply food for nearly 4 days.

Lin Muyu's war horses have been slaughtered, and even Min Yulin's own mount has served as food, but it is still useless. The remaining 20,000 soldiers have almost eaten up everything in Dongshuang City. The bark in the city has been stripped away. Many soldiers dug three feet to find earthworms, mice and other animals. The entire Dongshuang City is silent.

The sound of his stomach was gushing. Lin Muyu held the hilt of the Dragon Spirit Sword at his waist and walked step by step on the city road. Wherever he looked, the Imperial Army was sitting on the side of the road with no strength, and no one had the strength to stand up and walk, let alone daily training.

"Brother."

Qin Yan ran over excitedly, wiped his chapped lips and said, "Go back to the camp quickly, I have made some delicious food, maybe I can fill my stomach a little."

"oh."

Lin Muyu went back to the camp with him, but saw Chen Han cooking a big pot with a faint fragrance coming from the pot. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What, we had eaten all of our food two days ago."

"You'll know soon."

After a while, Qin Yan lifted the lid of the pot and saw pieces of black things rolling in the boiling water. It was these things that emitted a faint fragrance. Lin Muyu couldn't help but frowned and said, "What is this."

"I hate cow skin, I hate cow skin that I took out of the armor." Qin Yan said excitedly: "Although cow skin is not invasive of water and fire, it will loosen like pig skin after boiling for an hour. I guess the taste must be good. Brother, sit down, I will serve you a bowl later, and you will wait to enjoy a delicious meal."

Lin Muyu smiled bitterly: "I just need a little bit, give my brothers more, they have been hungry for many days."

"Yeah, I get it."

A few minutes later, a bowl of soup was brought to Lin Muyu, with a piece of cowhide as big as a palm floating on it. The cortex had been boiled and emitted a faint fragrance. I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, but it seemed like I was biting a piece of hard paper. Lin Muyu frowned. No matter how much it was, she quickly chewed it in big mouthfuls and swallowed the cowhide with a "gudong". She had no idea what it tasted, but at least she still made something in her stomach.

At this moment, a messenger shouted outside the camp: "The deacon Lin Muyu of the Temple Camp, the Lord has summoned all the generals to discuss the matter."

"I know, go right away."

"good."

Lin Muyu stood up and told Qin Yan that Chen Han would pack up the camp and go to the city lord's mansion. The generals in the city lord's mansion all looked pale, and even Min Yulin's complexion was not very good, and his face was a little scary. I think he was not like this when he was in Lanyan City.

"All the generals."

Min Yulin slowly stood up with an iron spear. The robe and armor on the Junhou was a little wrinkled because he sat for too long. He looked at everyone and said lightly: "We... are ready to go home."

A ten thousand tyrant in Muyu City was stunned: "June, how can we go home now surrounded by demons?"

Min Yulin smiled slightly and said, "Five days ago, General Chai Hong, the commander of the Tomahawk Battalion, had already led his generals to dig tunnels under the walls in the east of the city. This tunnel is two miles long and completely beyond the encirclement of the demons. Let's retreat at night tonight. Each battalion summons generals above the centurion to retreat together."

Lin Muyu's heart sank and asked, "What about ordinary soldiers?"

Min Yulin shook his head: "If there are too many people... the demons will definitely find that the generals above the centurion are all imperial elites. We stayed in Qingshan without fear of no firewood. After returning to Lanyan City, we can still recruit new soldiers. After training, we will be a strong soldier. It is not too late to avenge the soldiers who died in Dongshuang City."

Xu Ying nodded: "What the lord said is reasonable, and each camp will do as it should be done immediately."

Lin Muyu was not inconvenient to say anything, so he clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

...

Time passed by bit by bit, and at night, the stars were dim. Lin Muyu took Qin Yan, Chen Han and other generals above centurion and came to the east of the city along the alley. Along the way, he only saw the Imperial soldiers sitting silently on both sides of the road. Some of them had been dead for a long time and were starved to death. As for the tens of thousands of people in Dongshuang City, they had already been starved to death. Many families had stolen their last rations by the Imperial Army, so they naturally could not live.

Qin Yan frowned and said, "Can the rest stay and wait for death?"

Chen Han sighed and said nothing.

Lin Muyu said lightly: "Save our useful bodies and take revenge for them. Unexpectedly, before the blood debt of Yihe Kingdom was paid, the demons fell from the sky."

Qin Yan said: "The demons are probably more cruel than the uprising and the country, and they... also eat people..."

Lin Muyu remained silent.

The fire was swaying in front of him, but no one spoke. Min Yulin stood on the edge of the cave in a long robe of Junhou, watching the officers of the Tomahawk Battalion enter. There were still seven or eight thousand people in the Tomahawk Battalion, so all the senior generals had seven or eighty people in total. After entering the cave in sequence, the veteran Xu Ying raised his hand and said, "Let's wait for Commander Chai Hong to find out the situation at the exit of the cave first, and then protect Junhou retreat after safety."

Everyone clasped their fists together and lowered their voices, "Yes."

...

However, after Chai Hong and others entered the cave, they did not come out again. After nearly an hour, Min Yulin frowned and said, "What's going on? It's been so long. Min Zhan, you go down and see the situation."

"Yes, father."

Min Zhan drew his sword and jumped into the cave, but the next moment he turned over, muddy and water stained with his legs, and said, "Father, it's not good, it's all water."

"What." Min Yulin was shocked.

Seeing that the water at the entrance of the cave was about to be level with the ground, all the people who entered the cave before must have been drowned. Xu Ying's face was full of pain and said, "It's over... This group of bastard demons must have discovered the cave, so they dug out the water from the tributary of Daojiang and poured the water into the cave. Chai Hong led him..."

Everyone remained silent, and the last vitality disappeared again in an instant.

Min Yulin closed her eyes, her body trembled slightly under the starlight, her face was full of pain, she looked up at the sky, and said, "Why is it me, Min Yulin, why..."

"Father..." Min Zhan looked up at Min Yulin and asked, "Now, what should we do... Everyone has lost their composure."

"Go back to the city lord's mansion..." Min Yulin said lightly: "We have cut off the food and grass. Twenty-five thousand people can't hold on. We will prepare to open the city gate early tomorrow morning to fight the life and death with the demons. Perhaps Wang Xi is right. Instead of waiting for death here, he will die in a heroic battle. Even if he kills one more armored demon, he will be loyal to the empire."

"yes."

There were hundreds of senior generals including Min Zhan, Xu Ying, and only Lin Muyu, Qin Yan and others were left here.

...

"Brother, aren't we leaving?" Qin Yan asked in surprise.

Lin Muyu looked at the Daojiang River in the cave, his eyes were very clear, and he suddenly smiled bitterly, saying, "Ayan, I have entered the homes of several fishermen before. There are many fishing nets in their homes. You take a few people to find these fishing nets. Lord Chen Han, go to the Temple Camp and the Spirit Fire Department, and call people who still have some strength to come over, let them discover and broaden this tunnel, and bring in a large amount of Daojiang River water."

Qin Yan and Shen Han's eyes lit up at the same time, and Qin Yan smiled and said, "Brother is so smart. He actually knows how to use the tricks."

"It's just a stopgap solution, go and do it."

"yes."

Late at night, hundreds of people worked hard to dig together, and soon widened the tunnel entrance into a pond with a radius of hundreds of meters. The bodies of Chai Hong and others gradually floated out and buried them all on the spot under Lin Muyu's order. As expected, the water from Daojiang brought many fish. Qin Yan's first net threw it and caught a fish weighing at least three kilograms, winning the applause of a group of soldiers.

Chen Han and others followed suit and used fishing nets to catch fish. Not long after, the Temple Camp caught fish at least 100 kilograms, and they set up aside with a large pot. It didn't matter if they used up the seasonings. A pot of fragrant fish soup was quickly released, and everyone gathered to eat. In fact, each person was only 30% full, but it was enough.

At midnight, nearly a hundred kilograms of fish were caught. At Lin Muyu's order, Qin Yan took these fish to give to Min Yulin.

It was just that night that suddenly fell from the sky, including wild boar legs, venison, and even prey like dead rabbits.

The soldiers in Dongshuang City cheered.

“These foods cannot be eaten.”

Lin Muyu looked at the sky and said confidently: "Ayan, if you send the order, no one can eat anything that fell from the sky."

Qin Yan nodded: "Yes."

Chen Han asked in confusion: "Why, the great deacon..."

"How could prey fall from heaven? They are the demons' winged people... They know that we are very hungry and want to poison us to death, so don't eat it."

"yes……"

However, the imperial soldiers in the city were all hungry and were talking about whether it was poisonous or not. Many people swallowed it in big mouths even though they knew it was poisonous, and they wanted to be starving ghosts even if they died. As a result, they did not disappoint them. No one who ate the airdrop food was spared and all the blood was bleeded in their seven orifices.

...

In the early morning, the office hall of the city lord's mansion was silent.

"How many people have been poisoned to death in total?" Min Yulin asked lightly.

"3,000 people." Xu Ying said.

Min Yulin showed a hint of pain and said, "The cunning demon clan is so cunning... Come on, cooperate with Lord Lin Muyu to expand the water source of the Daojiang River, try to catch more fish to fill the belly, and never let people starve to death."

At this time, an officer from Qihaicheng, who was wearing the rank of ten thousand men in the crowd, clasped his fists and said, "June, my subordinates have a way."

"General Shi Huo, please say."

Shi Huo looked cold and said, "The soldiers who had just died, their bodies..."

"Shut up."

Min Yulin slapped the table and said angrily: "Min Yulin would rather starve to death than eat people."
