Chapter 861 Hopeless City (129)
As night falls, the overlapping mountains in the distance are like surging waves, rolling forward like pressure.
There was the rustle of the wind in my ears, and the hoarse and sad cry of the raven, overlapping together, like a funeral song, intertwined over the entire city.
At night, the city wall is filled with blood.
The dim moonlight shrouded the entire city, illuminating the devastation and ruins in the city, but it could not illuminate the lingering breath of death.
A woman ran in from outside the city wall, breaking the dead silence.
Her cry was shrill and shrill, covering up the sound of the wind and the crow of the raven, and even the moonlight became increasingly bleak and cold.
The death knell hit the wall, leaving only mottled blood and ruins.
Only a shell of the former glory remains.
His empty eyes faced the cold white moonlight. Under the night sky, the raven flew low, the woman's cry suddenly stopped, and there was another burst of bloody light on the bluestone.
——
Twenty years later, Guanhai City became a famous dead city. The entire city was surrounded by four thick high walls. There were no doors and no light. From a distance, it looked like a huge cemetery.
This city has become the biggest mystery of Lonca.
For decades, no one came out and no one went in.
People passing by will also walk around, because the next second will still be sunny. Once you step into the surroundings of this city, the temperature will drop suddenly, snowflakes are flying, and solid ice is covered with the city walls. No matter how much clothes you wear, you will Shivering from the cold.
No one will come near here. There is also a tall city plaque hanging on the city gate, with four solemn and heavy characters engraved on it.
Hopeless city.
It really is a hopeless city, lifeless just by looking at it.
Some people say that a major event once happened in this city. The famous female general Zhou Ye rebelled in this city and committed suicide after her failure. The body is now sealed in the city.
This is the emperor's punishment for her, just to make her unable to leave here forever, so that she will always bear the pain of being as cold and cold as the border.
Looking from the outside, there are layers of black clouds on the city, which are low and solemn. Even if you stand far away and look at it for a long time, it will be unbearable.
When talking about the city, everyone has to think of the famous general back then.
She was the first woman in history to become an admiral, and she was also the best strategist and commander in history. Twenty years of fighting expanded the territory of Longka by more than ten times. The emperor admired her even more, regardless of The suspicion of others prevented her from rising from an unknown soldier to the most honorable general in the empire, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the empire.
At that time, Zhou Ye was a great hero in the hearts of the people of the entire empire. She had made great achievements in her life, but she was greedy. She got everything but was no longer satisfied with what she got.
She started her own plot.
Twenty years ago, there were rumors that evil beasts invaded the border and killed countless people on the border. They were extremely ferocious and multiplied very quickly. The female general mobilized soldiers and horses from all over the country to guard the border and established thirteen border defense lines to prevent any evil beast from passing through. Pass this most important level.
But in the end, the people on the border confirmed that there were indeed evil beasts, but they had never seen them before, and they were far less ferocious than the rumors. They were probably just predators that were slightly larger than cats and dogs, and they certainly did not need the support of the entire country. Come and guard.
At this time, the ambition of the female admiral was clearly revealed. After being exposed, she resisted stubbornly and launched a rebellion war in Guanhai City. In the end, she failed and committed suicide in shame and anger.
