Chapter 23 Rescue Dongqiao Town
In the headquarters combat conference room, Zhao Tiannian was a little restless. After closing his eyes and resting for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and went to the window, looking at the sunset gradually falling from the horizon.
"Commander, what's wrong with you?"
"I feel something is wrong today. Have you sent someone to investigate back?"
"It's still... not yet. Commander, don't worry too much. Although Sun Yuan's speculation is indeed possible, this is a very clever roundabout tactic and at a very expensive price.
Even in our human race, there are not many people who can think of this plan, let alone the demon race? Perhaps we overestimate the demon race, and they didn’t think of this plan at all.”
"I dare not claim any luck. In the words of Sun Yuan, if it weren't for Dongqiao Town, how could it be worthwhile to use the Centipede Elder to escape the shell with a golden cicada?"
And here, a fast horse was running wildly towards the horizon with its back facing away from the horizon. A black figure lay on the back of the horse with its limbs hanging down, and it was rising and falling with the fast horse running wildly.
"Note, someone is here." A team of investigation found a galloping horse and drank it.
"Is it ours? It's the brother who went out to investigate, hurry up! Quick!" The team hurriedly met and stopped the war horses.
The Zhenyesi Demon-slaying Man on the back of the battle was already in a state of bleak face, but when he was taken off the horse, he woke up as if he was frightened.
"Quick...I want...I want to meet the commander...I'm in a hurry..."
"The commander, the scouts have come back. There are only one of the ten scouts sent out in the end."
"Where are people?"
"Here!"
The scout, whose face was as dark as carbon and was already as angry as a fucking spring, was carried into the conference room.
"Commander, there are a large number of demon soldiers hidden in Longji Mountain to the east of Dongqiao Town. They can block the dissemination of demonic energy. Our demonic energy sensing compass cannot sense it... They already know that we have discovered them, and now they may have sent troops to Dongqiao Town."
"It's really like this. Sun Yuan guessed it..." Zhao Tiannian said with an amazement.
"If Sun Yuan had not noticed it in advance, the consequences of the demon clan's capture of Dongqiao Town were unimaginable... We will all be sinners of the human race. Now it is still time for the commander, we need to immediately rush to Dongqiao Town, and leave 5,000 garrisons here." Chief Gao got up and drank.
"The entire army gathers and sets off immediately and hurry to Dongqiao Town, and must rush before the demon army."
"Woo woo woo woo--"
The sharp sound of ox horns sounded, and in an instant, the front line positions boiled. All the demon-slaying teams instantly put down their things and quickly gathered out of the fortification camp below to come to the ground.
"Sun Yuan, the emergency assembly order is coming, and you must follow us immediately and not be separated from the group."
"I understand!" Sun Yuan responded quickly.
War is not a trivial matter, you must not act willfully. Not to mention the bone-building realm, even if you accidentally open the realm of the orifices, you will lose it.
Sun Yuan knew this.
Dongqiao Town is located one hundred miles east of Vuhuafu. Sun Yuan and others set out at sunset and marched all the way. It took only two hours to reach the vicinity of Dongqiao Town.
The Seventh Team was like a few sesame seeds sprinkled in the torrent.
The war is about to begin, and the feeling of oppression of the storm is like a big rock pressing on everyone's hearts, heavy, and even breathing becomes extremely difficult.
"Oh no, the east defense line of Dongqiao Town has been lost." When the Zhenye Department arrived, Dongqiao Town had turned into a sea of fire. The continuous explosions came like a series of firecrackers.
In addition to the defense lines of the West Gate and the South Gate, the east and north Gate have been lost, and the demon army advanced extremely quickly. In just half a quarter of an hour, the demon clan had swallowed up more than half of Dongqiao Town.
"Brothers of Dongqiao Town, we are here...Brothers, kill me-"
"kill--"
The Sanwan Town Yeshi swooped down from the high slope to the west like a divine weapon descending from the sky, and rushed straight to Dongqiao Town.
The world you can see is nothing but blood and flames.
"The head of the family, the head of the family--"
Amid a burst of grief, several warriors in armor pulled out a middle-aged warrior from the pile of dead people.
"The head of the family——"
The head of Baiyun family slowly opened his eyes, "Cough cough cough..."
"Honor, how are you?"
"I can't die, can you fight back the demon army?"
"I've repelled, but... there are only five hundred brothers left. If you block this wave, you will definitely not be able to withstand the next wave. There are too many demon troops, and the east gate and the north gate are at the same time, so we can't hold on..."
"Why are you crying? Why are you afraid of defending the lives and deaths of the people? At worst, you will die together!"
"I'm not crying for myself, what I'm crying is the 70,000 people in the town who haven't had time to evacuate..."
"Most of the 70,000 people came spontaneously to help transport military supplies... They came from all the way but we couldn't protect them... We... sorry to them..."
"How come the demon army suddenly came from the east? Which demon army are they?"
"It seems to be the demon army led by Elder Centipede."
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Elder Centipede's demon army confronted Zhao Tiannian's troops on the western front. How could they come from the east? Can they still cross more than a dozen of our defense lines without knowing it and avoid the magic circle's perception?"
"But... it's really the demon army led by Elder Centipede." As he said that, he pointed back and saw a huge centipede more than a hundred feet long in the distance raging.
"What a centipede elder! Help me up, I can fight again."
"Master, I will cut off the rear, you can retreat."
"Far! Even if my Baiyun family is removed from the world, Dongqiao Town must not be lost. It is better to break the jade than to lose the city, and let all the brothers who can still fight come over and we will make another wave of war."
"Wait, head of the family, look! There is..."
The head of the Baiyun family suddenly looked out the west gate. Although the sky was already dark, you could still see dense crowds of people coming like a tide.
"Reinforcements? Reinforcements are coming? Hahaha... It's reinforcements, reinforcements!"
"Brothers, reinforcements are coming, hold on to me, hold on—"
Sun Yuan followed the team into the west gate of Dongqiao Town, and then instantly divided into three torrents, heading east, north and south respectively.
Through a silent street, in the light of fire, black demons rushed out of the flames, and behind them was a street covered with blood and limbs.
As the two sides fought each other, their eyes suddenly turned bright red. Qin Fei pulled out his two swords and intertwined them. A sharp lightning burst out from his body. As the lightning flashed, an electric arc condensed into a solid state lit up on the two swords.
"Kill me-"
The moment the words came to the ground, two swords slashed out in an interlaced manner, and a crossed thunder-attributed sword energy slashed towards the group of demons across the street like a high-speed rail.
"Jie Ya formation!" Chu Kangnian shouted loudly.
Sun Yuan and others quickly formed into formations and formed a military formation with the surrounding teams.
"Fresh blood food, fresh blood food delivered to your door, gaga..."
A crustacean demon covered with black spots roared with laughter, and two swords popped out of his hands, slashing at Monk He Ximing and Buji who were rushing in front.
"boom--"
Monk Buji and He Ximing raised their weapons together to greet them. A loud bang exploded and the earth actually trembled slightly.
The legs of the two of them sank into the ground in an instant.
At this time, Lan Hua and Chongsha Taoist, behind He Ximing and Monks He Ximing and Buji, suddenly turned into a afterimage and emerged from the figures of the two of them and appeared in front of the demon.
"What?" the demon's face changed drastically.
The two of them intertwined, leaving a clear knife mark in the void.
"puff--"
Chapter completed!
