Chapter 263: Stabilizing the Army

??

“Help!”

This was the last message sent back by the advance team.

Zhao Tian stood on the city tower with a livid expression. And standing in front of him was the Great General. He did not expect that the command center that had just been established would be immediately disbanded in less than two hours.

Just now, he and his brothers had wanted to snatch the power back from the City Lord. But now, all their thoughts are gone. He could not figure out what had happened.

The Great General might have thought of other things, but if it wasn’t for the hundreds of thousands of people in Rong City, why would he spend so much effort? His face was pale. He kept asking himself if everything he had done was worth it.

“Have you summoned back all the people outside?”

Ye Qiluo walked out of the main hall. She was wrapped in silver armor and looked heroic and aggressive.

The Great General knelt on one knee with a guilty expression and said with a trembling voice, “City Lord, the entire army has sent a total of sixty thousand people. Out of the thirty thousand, only five remained. The remaining thirty thousand have been recalled and are gathered in the city.”

“It’s only been two hours and thirty thousand people are gone. Why is this happening?”

Ye Qiluo’s face was ashen. She had also thought that since the generals were willing to take away all these rights, she would release all these military power and let these generals fight for the citizens of Rong City.

...

In fact, Ye Qiluo herself felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if she had not felt it for a long time. However, her dream had been shattered in just two hours. The situation was very obvious. They had to ask for reinforcements.

Although she had already sent a signal to the City Lord of Ping City for help, Ping City was very far from Rong City. She did not know when he would arrive.

There was another person who seemed to be reliable, but there was still no news.

“Is there any news of Young Master Li?”

Hall Master Wang had just run over to report the situation. He replied carefully, “So far, there’s still no news about Young Master Li. I wonder where he went?”

The Great General raised his head guiltily and looked at Ye Qiluo. “City Lord, I’m to blame for all of this. I was the one who wanted to expand the battle line, and I was the one who made so many warriors sacrifice their young lives. All of this is my responsibility. I beg you, City Lord, let me lead ten thousand people to fight our way out. Even if I die there, I’ll die clearly and pave a way for Rong City.”

Ye Qiluo looked at the general coldly. “At this point, is there any use in saying such angry words?”

“But…”

“There are no buts. Since the enemy is already at the city gates, we have to be careful. I hope everyone can know that if Rong City falls, we will no longer have a residence.”

“Thank you, City Lord, for letting bygones be bygones!”

Now was the time to use people. If she rashly withdrew the Great General, it would be a very serious blow to the morale of the army. Ye Qiluo would not do such a stupid thing at this moment.

However, they had to find a way out now because they did not even know who had killed their thirty thousand soldiers. Did those rebels have such strength? If they could not figure out the true strength of the enemy, they would not be able to resist at all.

Ye Qiluo stood on the city wall. The sky outside gradually darkened, and dark clouds formed a huge vortex outside Rong City.

In the dark clouds, groups of half-beast half-human warriors walked out. These warriors all had strange weapons and shouted as they rushed out of the dark clouds. They called out. They kept shouting, making waves of noise that disturbed one’s thoughts and made one’s mind dizzy.

When that strange shout landed in the ears of the Rong City warriors, it was as if they had heard a very ear-piercing demonic sound. They felt dizzy. Only by instantly raising their spiritual energy and protecting their ears could they weaken the influence of these forces.

“Be on guard immediately!”

Following Ye Qiluo’s order, a thick golden shield immediately rose in the entire Rong City. The golden shield isolated most of the sound.

The sounds that made the humans dizzy in the city decreased by more than half. All the warriors were in a better state than before.

These monsters shouted and slowly formed a messy array. They divided into four sides and surrounded Rong City. In just a short while, the huge Rong City was surrounded.

Among them, a giant about thirty feet tall suddenly walked out. This giant had three eyes and three arms. One of them grew on his chest and looked extremely strange.

After the three-eyed giant came out, he roared at the sky. He took out a golden bead with his right hand and threw it at the city protection array. The moment the bead touched the golden shield, it exploded, producing a very strong shock wave that spread in all directions.

Most of the inward shock wave was absorbed by the shield, and the outward shock wave directly hit the half-beast and half-humans below. Those fellows were sent flying by the huge shock wave like flies, howling in midair. However, these guys had thick skin. After being sent flying, they ran all the way back from a few hundred meters away as if nothing had happened and stood where they were.

In fact, after being beaten up like this, they became lively again and looked abnormally energetic.

The giant seemed to be testing the waters just now. A glint flashed across his three eyes. After some simple consideration, he seemed to have calculated something and roared at the fellows below.

Ye Qiluo looked at this group of things coldly. There was such a giant standing outside every side of the city. However, the other three sides were different.

The three-eyed monster shouted a few times, and the little fellows below him suddenly quietened down. All of them squatted on the ground obediently and sat down cross-legged. One could barely tell that they were humans.

After they sat down, intense lights shot out from their heads. These lights were mixed with some gray colors and looked extremely strange.

In the end, these lights gathered in one place and gathered on the three-eyed monster. The hand in the middle of the three-eyed monster suddenly stretched out and a thick beam of light shot out and injected into the golden shield.

The golden shield suddenly began to tremble as if it was under immense pressure. It was as if it was very uncomfortable after being injected with this power. It was about to be crushed.

Fortunately, this defense system was very thick and sturdy. Although it trembled for a moment, it still withstood it and finally stabilized.

However, the three-eyed man was not in a hurry. He allowed the energy in his hand to pour in.

The situation in the other three directions was roughly the same. Those monsters were all maintaining a huge amount of energy and constantly consuming their city protection array. Although the city protection array could withstand it immediately, no one knew what would happen if this continued.

“City Lord, bad news. If this continues, I’m afraid our array formation won’t be able to withstand it. At that time…”

“City Lord, their power is endless. If this continues, I’m afraid we’ll be in danger.”

At this moment, the Great General stood up. “What are you afraid of? Since they can wear down our city protection array like this, we can also gather our strength and continuously strengthen the city protection array. We will definitely be able to withstand it. This is our last home. No matter what, we can’t fail!”

As the Great General spoke, he took the lead and poured thick energy into the golden-yellow shield.

After the golden shield was enhanced by energy, it seemed to have become stable. Many people also gradually strengthened the shield.

Even Ye Qiluo sat cross-legged on the city tower and kept pouring her spiritual energy into it.

However, this could not last long. Ye Qiluo realized that their strength was actually completely insufficient to resist the other party. If this continued, she really did not know how she could escape.

At this moment, the smug three-eyed monster outside suddenly felt something strange on his body. Then, the hand in the middle stopped injecting energy. He looked down at the arm on his chest strangely. This arm looked quite bold, but why did it not seem to listen to him?

Just as he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly saw a small person the size of his palm walk up his arm and reach his chest. This little guy was quite handsome and very young. He looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, but he gave off a very dangerous feeling.

The three-eyed man raised one hand and grabbed his other arm, wanting to capture Li Yuanqing. This little guy was too arrogant to appear here.

The spiritual energy in his body was flourishing now. It was very easy to kill such a human. However, in the next second, the little guy’s actions stunned the three-eyed monster and he forgot how to resolve it.

Li Yuanqing had taken out a black sword at some point and slashed horizontally at the place under his feet. The light sword attack landed below, but it cut off the third arm of the three-eyed monster like it was cutting vegetables.

Thick blood spewed out from the broken arm, completely contaminating the smooth cut.

“Ah!” The three-eyed monster suddenly let out a scream. Its arm grabbed at Li Yuanqing fiercely, wanting to kill him as soon as possible.

However, he no longer had the chance to see Li Yuanqing’s appearance after he was captured because in the next moment, Li Yuanqing had already disappeared and appeared above his head.

The sword in Li Yuanqing’s hand was like an agile butterfly that kept dancing in midair, as if it was dancing a graceful trajectory. It was pleasing to the eye, but it revealed a huge danger.

The black sword finally returned to Li Yuanqing and disappeared.

Li Yuanqing stood on the head of the three-eyed monster. Below, a group of half-human and half-beast monsters stared at him.

They shouted at Li Yuanqing in the sky with strange cries, but they were also very puzzled. Why did the three-eyed monster not move at all? Instead, it stood there perfectly fine and did not move like a dead person.

On the city tower, Ye Qiluo’s face was pale. She opened her eyes helplessly and saw such a familiar figure standing above the three-eyed monster. That figure was so familiar. It even appeared in Ye Qiluo’s dreams over and over again. Ye Qiluo would never forget it even if she turned into ashes.

“Young Master Li?”

Ye Qiluo thought that she was hallucinating because she had consumed too much spiritual energy. She did not know if everything in front of her was real or fake. It looked so real, but it could not be real.

Li Yuanqing had already left and would not return.

This was because Li Yuanqing had already obtained everything he wanted. He came to Rong City and helped them because he wanted things that he did not have. Now that he had already obtained it, it was only right for him to leave.

Ye Qiluo no longer had any hope. The moment Li Yuanqing rejected her, she should have realized that Li Yuanqing was not the guardian of Rong City.

However, that figure was so familiar and dear. It was so similar to what she had seen in countless dreams.

Just as Ye Qiluo was thinking sadly that she was immersed in her imagination, the three-eyed monster in front of her suddenly collapsed. Its huge body turned into pieces of meat that filled the sky, scattering thick blood everywhere outside the city.

“What?”

When everyone saw this scene, they exclaimed involuntarily. They had never thought that such a thing would happen.

Why did such a powerful enemy die just like that? It was as if he had suddenly disintegrated and turned into flesh and blood that filled the sky in front of them. He was no longer a threat. What had happened? Was it the Savior? The Savior had come to save them. That had to be it.
