The next day, Mountain City began to evacuate.
People pack the things they can take away, bagged wheat, dried at, pickles, honey, seeds of crops, and so on. But also clothing, furniture, kitchen utensils and accessories; Rich people also packed up famous paintings, antiques, and even gold bars. All of these things were placed on the carts of cattle or horses, and then they left Mountain City in droves. Along the way, soldiers rode their horses back and forth, appealing to everyone to leave behind those heavy and useless things in order to lighten the burden and increase their speed. The so-called useless items included large pieces of furniture. For this reason, there were quite a few abandoned items along the way. This made the entire mountain city look like it was ushering in the end of the world.
Remington was wearing gorgeous armor and a cape with a fur collar. He was standing right in front of Mountain City. Before this, he did not have much of an impression of the city. Living and dying here was probably his rough impression of Mountain City, but as he was about to leave at this mont, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was filled with lancholy and finally turned into a sigh. He mounted his horse, drew out his sword decorated with silver stripes and gemstones, and shouted at the inhabitants of Mountain City, "I assure you that we will finally return! This day will not be long!"
The crowd applauded loudly, and then the group that left the city had less sadness on their faces.
"Only now does he have the appearance of a City Lord." Said Alan, who was riding a horse in the distance. He looked the sa as usual, but in fact, half of his body was bandaged with bandages and his movents weren't as smooth as they used to be. Red King was tied to the side of the horse and placed on Alan's left hand. When necessary, it was convenient for Alan to draw his saber with his left hand to defend against the enemy.
However, with Laura, Hubble, and Belmord following behind him, even if they encountered enemies, Alan would not be able to make a move.
Belmord nodded and said, "Young Master, after you went north, I also paid attention to the situation in Mountain City." At first, Remington raided his brothers as you would have expected. He wished he could find his brother and kill him so that he could sit on the throne of City Lord An Sheng. But after Shadow Duchy started to move, Remington did change. Even if he is not a good person today, at least he is responsible for his own people. "
"This is human." Ellen shrugged. "Our Lord Edward said that even though our lives are filled with darkness, there is no lack of sparkling spots. Let's go, we don't have ti to sigh here. There's still a lot to do."
The few of them rode their horses towards the front of the group and chased after them halfway. Alan stopped. It was General Keller. Keller nodded to Allen and said, "Lord Allen, I'll leave the guards of this team to you. I'm ashad to say that this is our responsibility. But now we're short-handed, so we can only leave it to you."
"As for the post-war work, leave it to our Bucks. I dare not guarantee anything else, but I will never let an outsider appear in your line of sight unless I die!"
Alan looked at him with respect. Last night, more than half of the Bucks had died in battle. Just relying on the remaining thousand people to take care of the retreat, once the foreign army attacked, it would an a battle to the death. At this mont, Alan saw the pride of being a soldier in Keller. Keller didn't hesitate at all, and he took the job of dying for granted. He nodded to Alan again and turned his horse around to leave.
Looking at his back, Hubble suddenly said, "The thing we hate the most when we fight against you is people like Keller. They can always create an impossible miracle, even if it has to be at the cost of sacrifice."
"Because we know that we are weak, we can beco stronger than our enemies when we need to." Alan turned around and didn't look at Keller anymore. Keller had his duty and his job, and so did Alan. His job was to send this team safely to his territory.
The long dragon that had left Mountain City was hundreds of ters away from the city, and its tail was still in the city. Crowds of people and cars kept pouring out, seemingly endless. Alan trotted his horse to the left of the team, and his n were also distributed in this direction. If an outsider were to attack, they would definitely attack from the highlands on the west side of the left. The Bucks' troops were still outside the city, and the ones in charge of the rear would wait until the troops had completely left the city before leaving.
There was no rain today, but the clouds shrouded the sky and the light was dim. Even Alan couldn't tell if the dark clouds above him were caused by the natural rain clouds or the abilities of so of the foreign experts. All he knew was that the atmosphere on the ground was solemn, as if war was coming at any mont. Amidst Alan's indescribable emotions, a drum finally sounded from the highlands on the west side.
Dong!
The heavy muffled sound seed to hit everyone's hearts. Most of them stopped almost at the sa ti and looked in the direction where the drums were sounding.
Alan was no exception.
Then ca the sound of drums one after another, followed by the long cry of horns. The long, desolate sound of the horns rose from low to high. When Alan heard the sound of the drum horn, he saw several small hills.
Of course, it wasn't a small mountain, but a battle beast. Most of the beasts had already been consud in the foreign race's attack last night, and now there were only three or two left. However, when those beasts staggered into view, the pressure was still astonishingly great. Behind the beast was a dense black tide. Alan tried his best to see how many soldiers there were. However, he knew that there would be at least three to five thousand people.
Although there were many outsider casualties last night, there weren't many. At the very least, Ellen didn't think that the opponent's main force's vitality had been greatly damaged. After a night of rest, the enemy seed to have pushed out the temporary commander, which was why they could see the enemy's front lines at this ti. Just this wave of vanguard soldiers had already ford enough pressure. Then, at this mont, the Bucks' lodious horn sounded. Alan turned around and saw Keller looking at him.
The Bucks General held his helt and smiled at Alan. The smile was filled with many anings. Then, he put his helt on his head, pulled out his saber, and pointed at the enemy's front. Keller roared, "Long live the empire!"
The general's voice was like a tide.
"Charge!" With a simple order, Keller took the lead and urged the warhorses to rush out.
The soldiers behind him followed closely and drew out an arrow formation. This arrow made up of the Bucks was pierced into the direction of the outsider army. The morale of humans was like a rainbow, but compared to the enemy's close alignnt, the Bucks' army of about a thousand n was like a river flowing into a sea of rage.
No matter how anxious the river was, it would still be drowned in a sea of rage.
Alan could already predict Keller's fate with a single move. He narrowed his eyes, turned around and shouted, "What are you still waiting for! Hurry up and leave, don't waste General Keller's sacrifice!"
Everyone was moved, so the n clenched their fists, but they turned around to urge the oxen and horses to speed up their journey.
Alan sat on his horse and didn't move. He watched as the Bucks approached the enemy's army, and the outsiders quickly sent out a wave of soldiers to welco them. If nothing unexpected happened, the two armies would co into contact in a few breaths, and then there would be a battle of life and death. Alan watched all of this silently, imprinting this image deeply into his mind. The Heavenly Fire Origin Energy within his body roared and boiled, but on the surface, he was as calm as an icy lake.
Just as the two weapons were about to co into contact, a beast roar suddenly sounded from the south. The beast roar carried a powerful pressure. The three foreign beasts were so scared that they stopped moving. No matter how the Saber Demon on the throne urged them, they were still unable to move. Allen was stunned when he saw the other army intervening between the two, and when he saw the composition of that army clearly, he was stunned.
It was an army made up purely of ferocious beasts.
At the forefront was a herd of boars as big as cattle, one of which had dark red fur and two curved and large fangs that were pitch black as ink. As it ran, dark red gaseous flas rose from its entire body, and its aura was as fierce as flas. Wild boars charged into the foreign army. These ferocious beasts often raised their heads, and those two fangs would pierce through the Saber Demon's thin body, and then throw them back. Even if the wild boars didn't hit them, they would still be stepped on by their four hooves. Once he fell to the ground, it ant that he would be crushed by all kinds of beasts. That kind of feeling would definitely not be good.
Then a multicolored ribbon ca into Alan's sight. When he saw it clearly, he discovered that it was not a ribbon, but a python as thick as a chimney. The patterns on the python's body flickered, and all the crystal spikes on its back lit up. It charged into the foreign army, its large head swaying left and right, spitting out a colorful mist of light from its mouth. After being sprayed by that mist of light, both the Saber Demon and the Jia Na people had their bones corroded and their flesh lted. The seemingly beautiful mist of light actually contained poison!
The outsider army imdiately beca enemies. Keller, who had already rushed forward, hurriedly raised his hand, telling the Bucks to stop charging and see what was happening first. At this mont, the ground gradually trembled and a huge figure crashed into the main force of the outsiders. There was a monster that was shaped like a giant turtle, and seven or eight thick tentacles waved around its body. Both tentacles and curls were extrely powerful, and even the strongest Catus would vomit blood and suffer serious injuries if they were extracted by its untied hand. Keller was even more dumbfounded. He recognized the giant beast in front of him. When he was in the Wilderness Highlands, he had fought against this giant beast. However, he didn't expect that this giant beast would actually arrive at the Absolute Shadow Highland.
The two highlands were connected, but they needed to cross mountains. Wild beasts that lived on the Wild Highlands rarely traveled long distances.
"General, look, there's soone up there!" A knight beside him cried out in alarm. He raised his finger towards the giant beast's head.
Keller saw that there was indeed another figure on the giant beast. It looked like a human youth, about thirteen or fourteen years old. He sat on the giant beast's head as if he could feel Keller's gaze. He turned around and saw a pair of golden pupils.
The youth nodded to Keller strangely, as if he knew her from the past, but Keller swore that he had never seen her before.
What was going on?
