Chapter 1,224: Retreating

Bai Lining exhausted his life energy and used a forbidden spell to injure Stella, but he never thought that he would die in the hands of Pei'er, his direct disciple. The incision on his head was still flowing with blood. Beside it, Bai Lining's body in a white robe lay there, stained with blood.

At this time, Pei'er was not Pei'er at all. There was no trace of mercy on her face. Standing on the city wall, she suddenly concentrated the purple thunder energy and poured it into Bai Lining's head. With a crackling sound, Bai Lining was blown away. The head was burned beyond recognition, and then completely turned into a body of thunder and lightning energy. With a clear whistle, Pei'er threw the head away!

"Bang!"

The ground trembled slightly, and Bai Lining's head turned into a bomb, which exploded among the Changfeng Army under the city. Nearly a hundred warriors instantly turned into fly ash.

Yan Zhao Wushuang suddenly pulled the reins, looking at the dead soldiers of the Changfeng Army behind him, he couldn't help but turned pale, and shouted with heartache: "Mother, how can this Pei'er be Pei'er, hurry up, and retreat into the country of the reverent." The territory, hurry up, the cavalry does not need to protect the rear, you go first, you can save as many troops as you can!"

Almost all the players in Prague were desperate. Liuya, carrying a long sword, led a group of mounted combat players back to fight against the strange demons, in exchange for more survival of the Changfeng Army at the expense of their own levels, but countless winged demons and plunderers in the air The fierce attacks of the eaters, coupled with the lightning attacks of dozens of Thousand-Handed Monsters, meant that many of the NPCs and players running on the ground could not survive.

…

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the main gate area of ​​the east city wall completely collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins. It was the masterpiece of greedy drinking fire. Pei'er lowered her head to look at drinking fire, and couldn't help but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: " Kill as much as you want and drink fire!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Yin Huo also smiled.

It is strange to say that Pei'er ranks 4th among the kings and Yinhuo ranks 6th. Logically speaking, the status of the two people should not be too different, but Yinhuo's attitude towards Pei'er is very respectful. It seems that Canglan He held Peer in high regard as the new commander, so he gave her a status and honor that no one else could enjoy. Even Sif, who ranked third among the kings, might have to be respectful to Peer.

The moment the East City Gate was destroyed, it also meant that the entire Dragon Slaying Fortress had fallen. Players and NPC troops who were able to evacuate the city naturally evacuated. However, there were too many people in the city, and at least hundreds of thousands of people were still stranded. These people either tried their best to Escape outside the city, or become the target of being hacked and killed. It's terrible. At the same time, there was a ringing sound in the air. It was over, and the next target had already surfaced——

"Ding!"

System Announcement: Dear players, please note that the defense of the [Dragon Slaying Struggle] version has failed, and the army of strange demons will continue to attack the south. The next target is determined to be the Hanhuang Dragon City. The version event will be automatically upgraded to [Dragon Domain Struggle]. All Players' contribution and merit points will be automatically transferred to the new version of the event. I wish you all good luck!

…

Looking at this system announcement, I felt a chill in my heart. The strange demon army is going to destroy Hanhuang Dragon City along with it, and then its next target will be Tianling City or Bahuang City, right?

She spread her wings and flew south quickly in the air, while looking back at the purple patch of land in the distance. Peer was here. Was she really going to destroy the empire she once swore to protect with her own hands?

In the guild channel, everyone was also talking about it——

Li Mu: "Damn it, it's finally Han Desolate Dragon City's turn, Canglan really has no good intentions!"

Lin Xiaowu: "Do you think Han Desolate Dragon City can be defended?"

Wang Jian: "It's hard to say, but if we try our best, the strange demons may not be able to capture Hanhuang Dragon City so smoothly."

Song Han said: "We must rely on the power of the NPC army. I don't believe that Tianling City's nearly 2 million NPC army will be defeated instantly. I'm afraid that Tianling City is unwilling to fully reinforce Hanhuang Dragon City."

Yue Qing smiled slightly: "It's okay. Brother Xiaoyao is a great leader. He should be able to mobilize those troops. Brother Xiaoyao, what do you think?"

I coughed: "I do have this power, but it seems that if I mobilize too many people, I have to get the emperor's consent. Everyone quickly retreats to Hanhuang Dragon City. I will be responsible for asking for reinforcements from Tianling City!"

"Uh-huh!"

…

He took out the scroll to return to the city, only to find that the golden scroll light was no longer there, and the map of the Cold Desolate Dragon City area had also entered the restricted area. Needless to say, this was Canglan's power. No matter where he went, he could open a huge The defensive cover disables all players’ teleportation skills, which is a fatal blow to our mobility.

I have no choice but to fly back to Tianling City. Fortunately, my berry is fast and the flight back to the city does not take more than 20 minutes!

When I flew over the Hanhuang Dragon City, I looked back and saw that dragon crystal cannons were bursting out from the ruins of the Empire of Awe. No need to think about it, it was the Imperial Forest Army troops stationed there who began to block the strange demons. Han Yuan, Xiao Li and other star-level generals were guarding him. I believed that the Royal Forest Army would never be defeated as quickly as the Jiuxiao City army. Moreover, Stella was seriously injured and moved slowly, so she should not be able to reach the battlefield so quickly.

Time, now for us, time is life!

Looking down from a bird's eye view, the Cold Desolate Dragon City was already in full formation. Heavy artillery was arrayed at the edge of the city. Dragon City warriors with distinctive sword armor were standing guard there holding long swords and square shields. The archers had their arrows ready. Lana Seer, Zishu and others also appeared on the city. With them here, Hanhuang Dragon City would never be conquered so easily.

…

"brush!"

Flying quickly, it passed through the clouds and entered the territory of Tianling City. Soon after, the outline of Tianling City was seen among the floating clouds. After a few minutes, it flew directly to the palace, swooped down in the air, and landed straight in the main hall. On the steps, the guards on both sides were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly performed a military salute: "Big Brother!"

I nodded and stepped into the palace hall step by step.

In the main hall, most of the civil and military ministers were present. Luo Qianlin also wore a black armor and held a long sword in his hand, looking like he was about to go into battle. However, everyone seemed to be still arguing.

Zhu Hai held the talisman in his hand and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although Hanhuang Dragon City is a covenant city of the empire, it is too inappropriate for us to use the entire country's troops for Hanhuang Dragon City. What if our soldiers arrive at Hanhuang Dragon City? , but the alien demon army never returned to the sea to launch a surprise attack, approaching Tianling City with a powerful force, how should we defend against the enemy? "

Qin Yi, the commander of the Earth Navy, also clasped his fists and said: "I second my opinion, Your Majesty, the Liushuang of Hanhuang Dragon City is unruly and unruly. He believes that he is a superior god, but he never takes the necessity in his eyes. Hanhuang Dragon City is even more hostile to our empire. After becoming vassal, they never sent envoys to worship and pay tribute, and now, they are threatened by the alien demon army and they think of us, really a villain! "

Situ Xin, the commander of the Forbidden Army, sneered: "I'm afraid General Qin Yi is the real villain, right? The 150,000 troops of Hanhuang Dragon City resisted the invasion of strange demons with their flesh and blood. They did not seek fame or official position, just to protect those behind them. What are the plans of the seven kingdoms? Now that General Qin Yi is slandering here, is this worthy of Hanhuang Dragon City? "

"you!"

Qin Yi shouted angrily: "Situ Xin, I knew you didn't like me, but you slandering me like this is just unfounded!"

Luo Qianlin frowned and said, "Stop arguing!"

At this time, I had already stepped into the main hall, and the herald on the side immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Duke Sui Ding, Grand Chief Li Xiaoyao enter the hall!"

…

A happy smile appeared on Luo Qianlin's face, and he clenched his fists and said: "Master Li has finally returned. Tell me quickly, what should the empire do? Where has the alien demon army arrived? How many troops have they dispatched, and how many kings have they dispatched? "

I looked calm and said: "The strength of the troops is unknown, and the area is so overwhelming that it is impossible to count. There have been seven strange demon kings, including Emperor Canglan."

"What?" Luo Qianlin trembled slightly: "Even Canglan is dispatched? Then... the Dragon Slaying Fortress should be unable to compete, right?"

"The Dragon Slaying Fortress has fallen." I said.

With my simple words, the surrounding civil and military personnel were all shocked. Among them, the Minister of the Ministry of War looked horrified and said: "Are you kidding us? The Dragon Slaying Fortress is said to have more than half of the main army stationed in Jiuxiao City. , how could it fall in less than three days? This is absolutely impossible. "

I chuckled: "What happened not long ago, I just came back from the ruins of the Dragon Slaying Fortress, so naturally I understand better than you."

As I said that, my eyes darkened and I said, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Changfeng Army, the old general Bai Lining, died in the battle."

"What?!"

Luo Qianlin trembled again, and sat down on the throne slumped: "How... how is it possible? The old general has experienced hundreds of battles, how could he die in battle... Master Li, where are the alien demon troops? ?”

Me: "We should have arrived at the ruins of the Awe-inspiring Empire now. The Royal Forest Army and a large number of adventurers are fending off the enemy there, but they will definitely not be able to withstand it. Soon they will retreat to Hanhuang Dragon City, so I hope your majesty will allow me to mobilize the empire." All armies, go to the Cold Desolate Dragon City for reinforcements, otherwise once the Cold Desolate Dragon City is broken and our northern natural barrier is lost, the seven kingdoms will be wiped out by the strange demon army. "

Luo Qianlin gritted his teeth: "Okay, Gu Wang is ready. Master Li, you are now the marshal of the empire. You can mobilize any imperial troops and horses at will. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed immediately!"

I nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Hai had an ugly look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, please be careful. Once all our troops gather near the Dragon Territory, it is very likely that strange demons will take advantage of us. Your Majesty, don't forget, Iron Skull City The three powerful cities of Zeyuan City and Jiuxiao City are still eyeing us, and the Sirens in the Sea of ​​No Return are also coveting Tianling City's rich resources. We must leave a large part of our troops to defend them. "

On the side, Qin Yi clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead a 100,000-strong navy force to stay in Tianling City to protect Your Majesty!"

I couldn't help but sneer. Qin Yi, this old boy, is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has never been willing to take the initiative to fight. He has been thinking about preserving the effective strength of the navy all day long. Now he actually asks to stay in Tianling City, and he is from Zhu Hai. I I'm really worried that this old boy will launch a mutiny after our army leaves the city. He will advise Luo Qianlin to remove me from the position of chief executive or change the dynasty, which is not a good thing.
