Chapter 635 Glory
"Xiaochen..." Suddenly, an old voice sounded, breaking the depression at the city. Jing Chen turned his head and saw that Old Mo slowly walked towards him. I wonder if it was because of Old Mo's arrival that the huge pressure from the flying monster tide suddenly turned into nothingness. If the dark cloud in the sky showed no sign of retreating, everyone on the city would probably have cheered.
Seeing that it was Mr. Mo, Venerable Bing and the guard also came over.
"Master." The guard general bowed slightly. Although he was not sure about the old man's strength, the other party just released the huge pressure as soon as he appeared. He thought he was not a simple person.
Mr. Mo waved his hand and said slowly, "General, you have to be polite. I am one of the guardians of Zeus Academy. People call me Mr. Mo. Master Armanderon has already taken the students of Zeus Academy to evacuate. I will come here to assist you." For those students who have fought fiercely for a night, this beast tide is not very useful even if this beast tide is left here. Evacuation is their best choice.
"It should be, I haven't had time to send someone to thank me for what happened last night. If it weren't for the support of the mentors and students of Zeus Academy, I'd probably lost last night." The guard was not polite, but to be honest. Whether it was the mentors of Zeus Academy or those students who had not experienced many big scenes, their strength was far from comparable to those soldiers under the guard. In the face of absolute strength, any skill was false.
Looking up at the beast tide in the distance, Old Mo frowned. Even though he had seen hundreds of beast tides, he had never seen such a flying monster tide. He glanced at the soldiers on the city. Although these soldiers were full of fighting spirit, it was not difficult for anyone with discerning eyes to see the fatigue in their eyes. He fought fiercely last night, and even those strong men did not recover, let alone these ordinary soldiers, but the mission made them stick to here, even if they were just to die...
In the distance, it seemed as if I could sense Mr. Mo's powerful aura. The entire beast tide trembled, and his pace of progress also stuttered slightly. Many flying monsters showed a trace of fear from the heart, which was a fear of the strong. In fact, to a certain extent, the perceptual sensitivity of the monsters was far more sensitive than that of humans, so they were more likely to discover those existences that could threaten their lives, and the aura on Mr. Mo's body was exactly what they feared the most.
"Hehe..."
A harsh scream suddenly came from the beast tide. The sound was not only harsh, but also a dizzy feeling when heard. Many soldiers with slightly less powerful shook their bodies and almost fell down.
"Hmph!" Old Mo snorted coldly, and the sound seemed to have a miraculous effect of awakening the spirit. Yuan himself shook, and the soldiers who were dizzy suddenly woke up. Seeing the soldiers awake again, many people who were slightly better and who were not caught were shocked. When they looked at the beast tide in the air again, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. No one expected that there was a monster with such a sound and illusion in this beast tide.
"It's the magic song demon." Rios's voice suddenly rang.
"Phantom Song Demon?" Jing Chen exclaimed. He still remembered this kind of monster. When he was in the giant beast empire, the strange tower made him deeply remember it. How could he forget the Phantom Song Demon that almost lost his life?
"It turned out to be a fantasy song demon?" Hearing Jing Chen's words, Venerable Bing repeated it in surprise, and his eyes swept towards the black beast tide.
Old Mo nodded slightly, and it seemed that he agreed with Jing Chen's words. After a while, he spoke, "And it's not an ordinary fantasy song demon, it's probably a fantasy song demon girl." There was a strong sense of fear in his words.
Venerable Bing blurted out instantly, "How is it possible?" He felt that it was inappropriate after saying that, but at this moment he did not apologize, but looked at Old Mo in shock, as if he was expecting Old Mo to tell him his reason. The Fantasy Song Demon that Old Mo mentioned was not the same level as the Fantasy Song Demon. Not only was the bloodline of the Fantasy Song Demon much more pure, but his strength was also far stronger than the Fantasy Song Demon. Ordinary Fantasy Song Demon are all mid-level beast kings.
These are not what surprised Master Bing. What surprised him was that every time the Fantasy Song Demon Girl was dispatched, the tribes would be dispatched together, ranging from dozens to hundreds or thousands. Among them, there were super monsters such as the Fantasy Song Princess, the Fantasy Song Queen and the Fantasy Song Queen. The degree of horror was self-evident.
The guard obviously knew the power of this Fantasy Song Demon. After hearing Mr. Mo's words, his eyes instantly condensed, he pondered for a moment, turned his head to Master Bing and said, "Master Bing, you can protect the residents and retreat together later."
"What?" Venerable Bing seemed to not understand what the guard general said, looking at the other party in surprise. Seeing that the guard general was not as if he was joking, Venerable Bing snorted coldly, "No, just these soldiers under your command, how can you stop the beast tide? Can you rely on people to fill it? How long can you fill it?" At this moment, Venerable Bing changed his original indifference and shouted excitedly. He could not understand the guard general's approach of letting soldiers die.
"We are soldiers of the empire. It is our responsibility, our glory, and our mission. You and the strong people behind you are the foundation of the empire and cannot be thrown here at will." The guard did not change his thoughts because of the rage of Venerable Bing. He said calmly, but there was an unquestionable smell in his voice. Although many soldiers on the city wall heard his words, those soldiers had no intention of opposing them. The soldiers took obedience as their duty. Each of them had been prepared to be loyal to the country at any time from the moment they joined the army.
"Nonsense, they are simply nonsense. These are flying monsters. Do you think that just you archers and heavy crossbows can stop them?" What Master Bing said is not without basis. The reason why flying monsters are more terrifying than land monsters is flight. They can not only destroy human defense lines in more tricky ways, but also easily bypass human defense lines and directly attack refugees or residents in the city. Therefore, in the opinion of Master Bing, the idea of the guard is not realistic and even a bit naive.
The guard smiled slightly and did not argue with the angry Venerable Bing, but slowly lifted his battle robe, "Wow Leng Leng Leng..." The light sound of some crystal collisions came into the ears of several people.
"This is..." Venerable Bing looked at the dozen dark crystals in the guard's robe without caring about the image of a master-level strongman. The crystals were nothing surprising at all, but they gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Black Fire Crystal?" Old Mo stared at the crystals and said in a deep voice.
"That's right, not only me, but all the soldiers were covered with black fire crystals. As long as the residents were evacuated, we would never take care of it anymore. So, you all go." As he said that, the guard slowly covered his battle robe and tied the strap around his waist.
At this moment, whether it was Master Bing, Mr. Mo, or Jing Chen and other people in the golden robe, their eyes were wet. At this moment, how could they still not understand the thoughts of the defenders and all the defenders in the city?
Fortress of Cologne, outside the guard's mansion.
"Madam, it's time for us to set off." The maid came to a middle-aged woman with gray hair and said respectfully.
The woman did not move her feet, but looked up to the head of the city. The lights were brightly lit and there was a little cold light. There... Her man was the guard of the Cologne Fortress. She was holding a small wooden box in her arms. This was the ashes of the major general who died in the battle yesterday. In the afternoon, the guard handed over the wooden box to her. Before she could be buried, she encountered such a thing.
On the streets of Cologne Fortress, the crowds were gradually sparse, and the residents, organized by some soldiers, evacuated from Cologne Fortress in an orderly manner. Just as the last resident walked out of the fortress, all the soldiers left the evacuated crowd, and they silently returned to the fortress and closed the city gate more than ten meters high.
Countless black shadows shuttled through the Cologne Fortress, and they quietly traveled between the streets, looking for a suitable location. The moonlight shone in the sky occasionally shone on their military badges. These soldiers were originally soldiers of the Holy Spirit Empire. These soldiers skillfully climbed onto the roof or hid in the corners. From a distance, even the monsters who were best at night were hard to find them.
At the top of the city, Venerable Bing did not deny the words of the guards again. He looked up at the sky, in the direction of the monster tide, and fell into deep thought. The flying monsters in the sky seemed to have adapted to Mr. Mo's pressure and slowly pressed over again, but this time they were much more careful and cautious.
After a long time, Venerable Bing slowly said, "You are going to die." His voice was filled with a strong sense of vicissitudes.
"Master Ice." The guard looked around, "Do you think I want to take them to die? I don't want to! They all have their own parents, some have their own families and their own children. I dreamt that all of them will be discharged from the army alive and return to their own families alive!"
"But you..." Venerable Bing hesitated.
"Master Ice, now I have only two choices. Either, take all the soldiers and escape with the residents of the Cologne Fortress, bear the pursuit of these flying monsters, watch countless residents who believe in the Empire and our children are killed, watch countless children who have not grown up...Watch them be killed, and I, us, these soldiers of the Empire, have given up resistance, given up the mission, and gave up the oath to the Imperial Military Flag when enlisting, and can only escape with shame. Perhaps we can survive, but what remains is endless infamy. Finally, they are pushed to the military court and judged."
Venerable Bing was silent, and it was indeed the case. The Empire would never forgive any of the soldiers who gave up resistance and fled, and for these soldiers who value glory more than life, such escape was also intolerable.
The guard continued with a calm expression, "Of course, I have a second choice. As the guardian of Cologne, I will stick to my position until the last second. Perhaps some of us will die, and perhaps all of us will die, but this will at least leave hope for those residents and the people of the empires, so that they can have more time to escape to safe places."
"Master Ice, as a soldier of the empire, we never fear death. As long as we die as long as we die for the empire, we never hesitate. I am already the father of three children, but yesterday, my youngest son also died in the battle with the monsters. I am really proud of them, they are my greatest pride!" Just as the voice of the guard fell, I don't know who was the first to yell out the military power of the empire.
"Do your best and die!"
"Do your best and die!"
