On the way from the Eighth City to the Seventh City, a broken army was in a depressed spirit and was camping on the spot. There were about two thousand people, as if a beggar army was covered with untidy clothes and wounded soldiers.

More importantly, these soldiers no longer have a little fighting spirit. What they reveal in their empty eyes is fear of death or despair of the future.

They came from the Xidaying of the regular army.

Before them, Xidaying had sent soldiers from a town to assist the local garrison, but more than 4,000 people died. The head general of Xidaying knew that he had a great responsibility, so he simply brought soldiers from another town to support him, but even he was lost.

This time, the casualties were even worse, with more than 5,000 people killed 6,000 people. The remaining eight or nine hundred people gathered the remaining 1,000 people from the upper army and joined into a team of 2,000 people.

There are only 13,000 demon soldiers in Xidaying, only a few seeds are left, less than the original fraction.

Now these two thousand soldiers are hiding in the mountains dozens of miles outside the Eighth City, without any fighting will or any intention to act, as if they are headless flies.

There was not even a leader, and the highest surviving position was a battalion-level military commander, Huo. Under normal circumstances, he only led a team of four or five hundred people, and his command ability was limited. What's more, when the miserable defeat was defeated, it was even more difficult to manage and restrain the wandering defeated troops.

Further down, the level of the living officers is even lower. They are all considered small leaders at the bottom, and they have never seen such a formation.

Very difficult.

Of course, this also reflects the temperament of the regular army of the Xidaying Demon Clan, which was originally very good. At least in the battle, the generals took the lead in rushing to the front, so they died the most.

"Corrective Huo, what should we do next?" A little officer with broken armor and ragged clothes looked depressed. "Look at the brothers, they are all stupid. Even if they can barely hold on, can they still fight?"

Although the level is not high, he is at least a veteran. From everyone's eyes, it can be seen that these soldiers are just walking corpses and have lost their will to fight. Next time they fight, as long as they encounter a slightly more serious threat from the other party, they will probably collapse without fighting.

Then, what's the point of staying for everyone?

However, the military discipline of the Demon Dynasty was strict, and active soldiers were not allowed to escape without authorization, otherwise they would be treated as deserters. Deserts in non-war periods will be deprived of their citizenship and their families will be seriously implicated; while deserters in war periods will be cut off in one word, let alone what threats the family will be.

But the problem is, staying is also a death.

Now that everyone has elected the Chief Huo as the military commander, everyone hopes that he can say something - our team will be disbanded, or transferred to the mainland Jindu (actually, it is just escape). In this way, the order issued by the Chief of Military Commander, even if he will be punished after he arrives in Jindu, he will at least not be executed by military law.

Of course, the responsibility that Huo Tongzhi itself will bear will be greater by then.

Do you want to escape? Commander Huo looked at these soldiers who had no fighting spirit, and then thought about the army of ancient beasts that were terrifying to the depths of their souls, and was in a turmoil.

If you stay and fight, you will die; if you become a deserter, you will die; if you take everyone to Jindu, you will be punished and insulted by sticks. Only one person named Huo will be executed.

Mom, it seems like I'm dead.

But Huo is not afraid, anyway, someone will have to take on this responsibility. Fortunately, he has no family and is an idle demon clan, and he will die if he dies. When everyone elected him as the temporary commander, he had already figured it out.

However, there were also some bloody people in this team. One of the low-level officers stood up and waved the hammer in his hand and said angrily: "More than 10,000 old brothers are dead. Are we going to run away like this? Even if we survive when we go back, it means nothing!"

"Yes! The monster is now slaughtering the city. As soldiers, we are discussing how to escape here. It's too embarrassing." Another low-level officer who still has the will to fight but is more active shouted, "Even if we are guerrillas on the periphery, we can fight and run, it's not considered a siege. At that time, we can make some military achievements, right?"

"Military merits? You have to be destined to get it."

"You can think of fighting that kind of monster to make military achievements, so you can die!"

"If you can't win, you can't win. Those monsters are too terrifying..."

Commander Huo and several lower-level officers were helpless. They knew that the team was basically unable to lead now and had no fighting spirit.

Just as everyone was arguing, the sound of disturbed trees suddenly sounded in the distance.

“Swishy…”

Some alert soldiers looked out, woke up suddenly and shouted: "Stop quarreling, monsters are catching up! Bastard, why are there anyone chasing us? Aren't you slaughtering the city?"

Before he finished speaking, terrifying ape-shaped monsters emerged from the hidden place.

At first glance, it looks like a huge ape, walking upright. The largest two ends are two taller than two rooms, while the small four ends are ten feet two feet long. The strong muscles all over the body look like a claw can kill a horse.

In fact, the soldiers didn't know at all that this was a monkey, but the monster Zhu Yan. It was said that as long as Zhu Yan appeared, there would be chaos in the world and swords and weapons everywhere.

A very fierce monster, and what's even more terrifying is that they can walk upright and have human-like claws. Therefore, they can actually hold weapons in their hands!

This is a weapon obtained from the hands of those dead generals before. The huge spear is like a spear in their hands, and the eight-foot-long mountain-piercing axe is more like a small axe held by a street gangster.

But there is no doubt that once these guys are free to fight with their hands, they will be even more terrifying than ordinary monsters.

As for actual cultivation, the two leading Zhu Yan has reached the level of the Blood Sect, and the remaining four smaller ones are all of the strength of the top real people. Once the fight starts, it will be a one-sided massacre.

Moreover, this monster is very smart, after all, it is an ancient beast of apes. They pursued the aura and waste products left by this team of remnants, and followed quietly, until they made the final ambush posture in this area suitable for encirclement.

Already prepared for the raid, now that they have been discovered, they are no longer hiding. Anyway, they have lurked to a close enough position that these soldiers cannot escape.

As for why we chase this army, nonsense, in the eyes of monsters, the critical level of the army is always higher than that of civilians, even a remnant soldier.

Besides, how many demons or survivors can there be in the eighth city? This army of 2,000 people is a total of demons. Eat them, the Zhu Yan clan group will be promoted at the same time. Even the four smaller Zhu Yan may be promoted to the Blood Sect level at the same time.

One, two, six! When we saw these monsters holding weapons appear, the scared soldiers were all fainted. And now we discovered that they were actually surrounded by these ape-shaped monsters in a depression area.

This is caused by the lack of experience in leading troops. We just focused on this slightly flat area to rest and replenish some streams, but unexpectedly, the surrounding high ground was occupied by this group of terrible monsters.

Two thousand people, less than more, not more. When they were in danger, they gathered together automatically, and eventually they shrank to a small range of less than twenty feet in diameter. They could not retreat any longer, they were already back to back.

But what happened? I still didn't have the courage to raise my sword... Many soldiers were scared to death and had no will to fight at all. Only the fear of death was dominating them.

The low-level officers of General Huo were also a little confused because they had no experience in leading so many soldiers independently, and they could not organize a decent offensive at the critical moment of life and death. Even if his head got hot and he shouted to ask everyone to pick up weapons and start resisting, it would have no effect.

"Yes, half of them organize defense, and half are ready to attack!" Huo Tongzhi shouted again.

But how do you divide half of what you said? Which part of each person belongs to? It's so messy.

If this state of fighting alone continues, everyone will not even be able to issue a decent joint spell and will be slaughtered one by one.

Everyone knows that they are afraid, and many people know that it is time to organize the formation immediately, but no one can organize it.

At this moment, a loud sound suddenly sounded on the distant hillside, and shouted in an orderly tone that cannot be violated-

"All the soldiers wearing armor stood on the periphery and formed a defense circle! The rest gathered in the defense circle and were ready to launch the attack formation immediately!"

The one wearing armor on the upper body is really good. Because the army was defeated, the clothes were broken and the armor was severely damaged. There were less than 700 soldiers with armor on the upper body.

But that's true, everyone immediately clarified what category they belong to, and they really acted automatically according to the command!

Within a few seconds, nearly 700 warriors wearing armor formed a circle and cast spells together, forming a light yellow protective shield-like formation in front of everyone.

Even Zhu Yan, a blood sect-level formation composed of more than 700 demons, would not be able to break it easily.

Of course, the more than a thousand soldiers gathered in the circle knew what to do. Huo Tongzhi immediately organized a counterattack attack formation as the commander of the formation.

At this time, everyone finally stabilized their positions and had the opportunity to look at the direction that simple and effective command just now.

A hundred feet away, there was a huge black unicorn beast, and a handsome woman in purple clothes and armor sat on it, and she was very beautiful. The woman had an exquisite short sword around her waist and a steel gun that was ten feet long in her hand. The mountain wind blew her hair, making her unparalleled handsomeness and stunning.

Someone has recognized her.

Because everyone is a soldier from Xidaying, and this woman once brought her Heilin Iron Guard to stay in Xidaying for a while. No one can forget such a female general from the Yanxiu Military Camp.

"General Song! It's General Song!"

"Ha, our broken team of only two thousand people actually sent a chariot and cavalry general to lead it? We are very well treated."

Somehow, in just a moment, these remnants of defeated soldiers seemed to have found their backbone.
