After leaving the city, nearly 40,000 people galloped on a barren plain.

...

In the air, a sound of flapping wings, a war eagle knight in golden armor fell from the sky and said, "Master July Liuhuo, Your Majesty's order to lead your subordinates to the garrison of Hongyan County."

"Hongyan County?"

I raised my brows and hurriedly raised my hand to summon the big map. I found that Hongyan County was right west of us, the next line of defense after Huoling County was conquered. Behind me was a chain bridge, and then there was a long river that was flowing endlessly, which was indeed worthy of defending the dead. So I turned to Lin Xi and said, "Lin Xiaoxi, let's go to Hongyan County?"

"You make the decision."

"Um!"

I nodded and said in a deep voice in the guild channel: "Start, target, Hongyan County!"

Everyone accelerated, and just as I turned around and looked back, I saw fires rising into the sky from Huoling County, and explosions of flames stinging demons exploded. The earth was buzzing and trembling. A heroic city was about to turn into ruins. Wherever the legion of the alien demons passed, no grass was growing. This was not a joke.

"Did we just abandon Huoling County like this?" Calorie asked.

"Um."

I turned around and rode on the black shark and said, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be like to die with NPC? It's meaningless to drop this level, and the flame stinger has already gone to the back, and Huoling County has lost its value of guarding."

Calories smiled and said, "It seems that it is my wife's kindness."

"That's not."

I shook my head: "Actually, I also want to stay to defend Huoling County, but the conditions do not allow. There are too few NPC defenders in Huoling County and there are fewer equipment. Whether it is artillery, stone crossbow, crossbow, arrow tower, etc., they are far inferior to ordinary big counties. Overall, it is a bit unprofitable if we defend Huoling County with one deer."

"Well, let's go and see Hongyan County!"

...

It was around two o'clock in the morning.

A majestic and solemn city appeared in sight. Hongyan County arrived. The capital of a county was extended and the city was towering. Sure enough, it was much stronger than the city of Huoling County. Moreover, there were many defenders on the walls of Hongyan County. In addition to the NPC army, there were many players from small and medium-sized guilds here.

Just in the distance, the "dongdongdongdong" war drums came from the depths of the jungle. Rows of monsters such as Molin Knights, pioneer knights, pioneer ghosts and other monsters were already lined up by the forest. They looked very terrifying and dense, as if a black tide was about to flood the famous city with a thousand-year history.

"Yi Lu! Look!"

There were already players in the city pointing in our direction excitedly: "It's Yilu's people here!"

"Hurry open the city gate and welcome Yilu into the city!"

This time it went very smoothly. Before I could reach the city, the gates facing Yilu had already opened one after another. There were even NPC generals carrying battle swords and a group of iron cavalry to greet them. The generals and a group of soldiers were wearing the emblem of the Flame God Legion on their chest armor. He walked forward with a sword blade and respectfully clasped his fists and said: "Master July Liuhuo, finally, Peng Yu, the commander of the Third Corps of the Flame God Legion, welcomed Lord!"

"Um!"

I nodded and stepped into the city side by side with him, asking, "General Peng, how many defenders are there in this Hongyan County?"

"this……"

He pursed his lips and frowned, "In fact, Hongyan County originally had 30,000 defenders, after all, it was a big county in the north. However, after learning that Yanmen Pass was lost and the Demon Legion had entered the Northern Liang Province, the timid and fearless prefect took 20,000 elite troops out of the city to take refuge, leaving only 10,000 old and weak defenders. The last general led his troops to station in Hongyan County, with a total of 50,000 troops. Together with the original defenders, there were a total of 60,000 defenders. With the unknown number of adventurers, Hongyan County had only so much strength."

"knew."

Not long after, I took Lin Xi, Shen Mingxuan, Qing Deng and others to the city. After looking at the densely packed demon legion in the forest in the distance, I couldn't help but take a deep breath, my heart was very unsure and said, "General Peng, do you think we can resist it?"

Peng Yu smiled bitterly: "Why should you ask me knowingly? If the alien demon army did not launch the self-destructing attack of the Laoshizi Flame Thorn Demon, Mo Jiang would be confident to defend Hongyan County for three days and three nights. But if they deployed the Flame Thorn Demon Demon, Mo Jiang would not even have the confidence to defend for an hour. After all, Yanmen Pass was broken because of those damn Flame Thorn Demon."

I was speechless, and he was right.

...

"What should I do?" Lin Xi asked.

"no way."

I frowned: "We are almost at a loss. Now defending Hongyan County is the first target. Well... Hongyan County's city defense and heavy artillery are much stronger than Huoling County, and it is worth defending. I think we can organize melee heavy-mounted players to go down the city wall to touch the flame stinger to see if the player can hit the flame stinger when he falls to the ground. What do you think?"

She raised her eyebrows: "I've wanted to beat me for a long time!"

Soon after, a large number of Yilu reinstalled players went down the city wall, and almost all went down ten minutes later. People from other small and medium-sized guilds were also infected and sent reinstalled players to go down the city wall to fight against the city wall. Soon, three arrays were formed under the Hongyan County city wall, and the total number of reinstalled players leaving the city was close to 100,000.

There are so many people in the country, it’s great.

At this moment, a flying boat suddenly drove over the city with a beeping boat. A scholar held a golden scroll in his hand and said, "Master July Liuhuo, Your Majesty summoned you to Fenglai City to discuss matters in the General Palace of the Northern Liang Province. Please come with me!"

He ordered the flying boat to lower it a little, and I explained to Lin Xi, with my legs sinking, and I pulled my body with all my strength. A "pan" sound rose into the sky with a wisp of air flow, and jumped up to more than ten meters high. Then I took two daggers and landed steadily in the flying boat, saying, "Let's go."

"yes!"

The stoves on both sides of the warship were buzzing and trembling. The finger-sized spirit stones quickly sublimated into energy. The flying boat seemed to be pushed by a huge force. It rushed into the clouds with a "swoosh", and even faster than my Frost Flying Peng. It had arrived above Fenglai City in less than ten minutes. The city protection formation was like lifting a curtain to reveal a corner. The flying boat rushed in and soon landed on the palace square of Fenglai City.

...

In the distance, there were many soldiers in the hall. This was originally the imperial palace of the Jin Kingdom. The hall was also the court of the king of the Jin Kingdom, Jin Tairan, but now it belongs to the human race. When I stepped into the hall, almost all the military generals from all over the Xuanyuan Empire, and at least a few civil officials were attracted.

"The fire in July has arrived."

Xuanyuan Ying was wearing a military armor and stood up and said, "Let's discuss it. Now Yanmen Pass has been lost. Huoling County, Hongyan County, Fengqi County and other counties are being attacked by the alien demon army. The territory of the empire is being encroached step by step. What should we do next?"

"Every step by step, stick to the barriers of deep grooves!"

Among the crowd, the commander of the parliamentary army, a middle-aged man wearing blue armor, named "Qingyuantu" clasped his fists and said: "As long as we implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness and defending every city, the alien demon army will surely run out of supplies and eventually have to withdraw from the Northern Liang Province!"

"Yeah?"

Mu Tiancheng was wearing military uniform and paced back and forth in front of the sand table, saying, "Master Qing, I'm afraid it may not be possible? I have been dealing with the Demon Legion for many years and have a good understanding of the habits of evil spirits. Most of the creatures of the Demon Legion use the flesh and souls of the human race as food, and flames prick the demons. As long as they devour the corpse, they can obtain a large amount of death power and maintain their physical strength for several days or even half a month. For example, the main force of the Immortal Legion, this group of knights are death knights. Whether they devour corpses or refining their souls, they can fill their strength!"

He gently pressed his palm against the edge of the sand table, looked at the cities one by one, and said, "In our city, there are not only defenders, but also many civilians who have just moved to it. These are their food. In other words, every time the demon army conquered a city, it obtained a huge grain warehouse that could be replenished on the spot. Let me ask, how can we win when we are fought, how can we explain to the people of the North Liang Province who were harmed, and how can we explain to the world?"

Xuanyuan Ying nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Nangong, commander of the Yan Shen Legion, Shan Hai Gong Nangong, walked forward with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said, "In the battle of Yanmen Pass, our Yan Shen Legion has lost nearly 80,000 troops, and then retreated in succession. Now, the Yan Shen Legion can only mobilize half of the troops. Everyone has witnessed the power of the Mo Lin Knight. Many soldiers were scared to death. At this time... what can we do except stick to the change?"

Feng Buyin stood up and smiled, saying, "Duke Fuyu, what suggestions do you have?"

"decisive battle!"

Mu Tiancheng clenched his iron fist, frowned, and said, "Only by deciding this battle, the main force of the Immortal Legion and the Pioneer Legion can be saved in the Beiliang Province. Otherwise, the Demon Legion would immediately use our city as a nest, build a cemetery, spread plague, and hatch ghost soldiers. At that time, we who were dragged into the war will have to be slaughtered."

Xuanyuan Ying frowned and said, "What do you think about the Temple? Lord Sikonghai, what do you think?"

The leader of the Knights Templar, the legendary Knight of Light Sikong Hai, stood up from the chair, walked to the edge of the sand table, looked at the various marks on the sand table, and said: "Although the Knights Templar suffered heavy losses in the battle at Yanmen Pass, I believe that the children did not lose their fighting spirit. On the contrary, my Templars are all eager for a revenge, so I agree with Fu Yu Gong's plan, choose a battlefield, and fight with the Demon Legion! Taking advantage of the Immortal, the pioneers have not yet gained a foothold in the Northern Liang Province, and fight with them!"

"knew."

Xuanyuan Ying stood in place, with a majestic aura that was as unshakable as a mountain. He looked at the generals with his eyes and said, "Immediately send my handbook to the Dragon Domain and ask Lord Yunyue and the forest elves to help. In addition, the Northern Wilderness Legion, Yunxi Legion, and Yinping Legion all mobilized Fenglaicheng overnight, shrank the defense line, and drew most of the main force Fenglaicheng to prepare for a decisive battle with the alien demon legion!"
