Chapter 256 256. Mr. Xia, I have decided!
Baidi City is majestic and desolate, with majestic walls rising into the sky, but the walls are covered with dried orangutan blood, giving it a chilling feeling.
"As for the Battle of Bailu that ended thirty years ago, please three of you can keep it a secret."
Leading red-armored veteran Li Zaishi whispered to Xia Feng and the others.
The city gate is wide open.
Through the eyes of deconstruction, Xia Feng could easily see the desolate scene inside.
With ruins and ruins, it is like an empty city with no human habitation.
However, the bloody mounds of soil were stirred up one after another, and rickety figures with muddy faces walked out of the ground.
Nearly four hundred people came one after another, but all of them had white hair, sunken eye sockets and cheekbones, wrinkled faces, and the armor on their bodies was in dilapidated condition.
The swords on their waists were always bright. They held the handles of the swords in their hands and stared sharply at the people coming in from outside the city.
Li Zaishi raised his hand to signal, and they took their hands away from the handle of the knife, but the vigilance in their eyes still did not dissipate.
The city is full of white-haired soldiers.
The lifespan of a fourth-level spiritual master starts at least three hundred years. If you eat the life fruit, you can live longer.
However, due to staying in a high-concentration environment all year round, even with the armor to protect the body, it cannot prevent the penetration and change of the evil force.
Coupled with injuries from time to time, these veterans, although upright and in their prime according to spiritual master standards, now look old.
It is estimated that if we fight for a few more years, there will be no need for the enemy to attack the city, and they will die suddenly because their bodies can no longer support them.
But no matter what, they are all true heroes.
“There are more than 400 sergeants in the city, including women, children and craftsmen who cannot go to the battlefield, a total of 512 people.
This is the result of these thirty years of bloody battles.”< br>
After listening to Li Zaishi’s introduction to the situation in the city, Lin Musen’s eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
These veterans could not get the slightest information from the outside world, and they did not know what kind of beliefs they had to hold on to this day.
The only news was brought by a sergeant who suddenly landed on the island twenty years ago, saying that the Battle of Bailu was still going on, so that the defenders of Baidi City must insist on defending the city. They were the whole battle The key to the battle.
After bringing this news, the sergeant died suddenly. Xia Feng speculated that the sergeant was probably sent by the enemy to deceive people.
As for the purpose of deceiving people, it is more like raising gu.
Friends who have raised voodoos all know that if you want to raise a voodoo king, you have to kill enough bugs that are poisonous and cruel enough.
So in order to make the bugs fight harder and have more hope, I sent someone in and told them that the empire still needs you. If you fight for a while longer, you will be victorious.
"There is actually no need for the three of you to follow us into the city. We are the ones who must die, and those evil tribes will not let us go."
Li Zaishi turned around and said,
" But you are different. You are outsiders. They don’t know your existence. It’s too late to leave now.”
Since he took the initiative to follow, Xia Feng was naturally unwilling to leave, and he was worried about how to get there. Looking for source of water, it's just right to wait here for the other party to come to you.
As for Lin Musen, he was already being chased by the half-dragon and had nowhere to run.
And since we happened to arrive at Baidi City, we must take advantage of the situation to investigate how the forces involved behind the garden are related to Baidi City.
As well as the truth about the rebellion in Baidi City, he actually still didn't believe that someone in the empire would really do such a shameful thing.
Maybe Baidi City did surrender to the enemy, but only these remnants of soldiers are left alive?
Thinking about this, Lin Musen narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Is it true that no one has defected to the enemy in the past thirty years?"
The red-armored veteran glanced at him indifferently and sneered, "Over the years, some of the one hundred thousand soldiers have died in battle, some have died of misfortunes, and some have even been overwhelmed and committed suicide in the night. Indeed, some sergeants have taken the initiative to surrender to the enemy. "No one knows whether these soldiers who surrendered to the enemy entered the evil world or were killed."
"But based on these people, the empire will be destroyed." Do you want to convict us and the 100,000-strong army of treason?”
Lin Musen fell into silence.
Xia Feng listened silently. He probably guessed that those who surrendered to the enemy were probably treated as experimental subjects and would not survive at all.
Mu Qingtong suddenly spoke up in a rare move: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Death?"
Li Zaishi and the veterans beside him looked at each other, shook their heads and chuckled:< br>
"The remaining warriors have naturally been hesitant and dejected. They have been able to persist to this day. It may be too broad to say that they have the heart to serve the country, but as long as there are people in the city who need to be protected, I I will still have hope, and I will be able to die generously with passion."
Seeing the indifferent and fearless expressions of these people, Mu Qingtong was thoughtful.
These people may not be as strong as their enemies, but in Xia Feng's view, they are already truly strong.
"The strong are fearless, maybe I'm talking about you." Xia Feng murmured and sighed softly.
"Are the strong fearless?"
Mu Qingtong raised his head and glanced at the dim sky covered in gray mist. He had to admit that these ants were indeed worthy of admiration and the title of strong.
"Mr. Xia."
"Huh?"
"I have decided that some people deserve to die, and some people do not deserve to die."
A cold voice sounded in Xia Feng's heart,
Xia Feng looked up Looking at her golden eyes looking up at the sky, although he didn't know what Miss Mu was thinking at this time, Xia Feng knew that it was time for a big fight!
Next, Li Zaishi briefly introduced the origins of Xia Feng and the other three to the veterans in the city.
But what surprised Xia Feng was that
Li Zaishi told the three people not to tell the truth, but after Li Zaishi hesitated again and again, he took the initiative to tell the truth about the rebels that the Baidi City garrison had already known.
A group of veterans, women and children in the city were suddenly in an uproar, their already sallow faces dull.
"Impossible!"
"City Lord Li, how can you believe such nonsense! This man named Lin Musen must be a spy sent by the enemy!"
"Exactly, the identities of these three guys have not been confirmed. How can we believe what they say! How could the empire abandon us?"
Doubts kept coming.
Xia Feng naturally understood that no one would believe this easily, which is why Xia Feng did not tell more of the truth.
If you tell these veterans that the imperial dignitaries not only abandoned them, but even used their passionate desire to serve the country to accomplish some unknown purpose
they may find it even more ridiculous. , won’t believe it.
In other words, I don’t want to believe it.
After all, sometimes living in an illusion is much happier than knowing the cruel truth.
"Rumble——"
At this moment, the ground shook, and fine gravel bounced up, as if something was approaching.
Everyone couldn't help but look back towards the city gate.
"The whole army is on alert!!"
The sentry on the observation deck has a spiritual weapon similar to clairvoyance, and he shouted solemnly: "The enemy is attacking!!"
