130: C130 I Give up Completely

C130 I Give up Completely

At this moment, both inside and outside the Linghai Giant City, countless people were looking up at the northern sky. Their hearts were filled with shock, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Nine smoke signals!

This represented the attack of the highest level beast tide. At the same time, it also meant that the troops of the demonic devils would be mobilized. Even if they used all the strength of the Linghai Giant City, they might not be able to stop it.

In the history of the Linghai Giant City, in the past 500 to 600 years, there had only been two waves of the Nine Smoke Beasts. The first was the first. 476 years ago, the City Lord led his subordinates and joined forces with all the forces in the city. They fought a bloody battle for 37 days before finally killing the beast tide and retreating.

In that battle, the City Lord was seriously injured and died in less than two years. The number of deaths of the martial artists of the various forces in the city exceeded 40% of the total number, nearly half of the casualties.

The last time, the nine smoke signal beast tide had appeared over 200 times. It was also extremely tragic years ago. Ever since Qin Wuji became the city lord of Linghai Giant City, this generation of people had never seen such a large-scale beast tide.

"Why, why is it at this time. . . "

Wang Zhihong's heart trembled. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the entrance of City Lord Mansion. It was originally the place where Chu Yun was standing, but now, there was only a head left.

That was the head of the City Lord, Qin Wuji.

Normally, no matter what kind of attitude the people of Linghai Giant City had towards the city lord, whether it was reverence or fear, when faced with a large-scale danger, the first thing they thought of was. . . It would definitely be this City Lord.

But now. . .

The city lord was killed by Chu Yun, and his head was chopped off.

Meanwhile, the nine waves of smoke were surging towards them at the same time. This caused everyone to fall into a state of despair in an instant.

"There must be spies and spies of the demonic devils in this city. They knew that City Lord was dead, so they thought that they had found our weakness and launched a large-scale attack!"

Zuo Lin said with a pale face.

After he said that, there was no response from the surroundings.

No matter what the reason for the beast tide's attack was, the truth had already happened. Nine smoke signals were sent out, and the beast tide had already started their attack on Spiritual Sea. No matter what the reason was, it was meaningless.

"It's all that damned Chu Yun's fault. If the City Lord hadn't died, we wouldn't have been so passive!"

Wang Zhihong furiously punched the stone lion in front of the City Lord Mansion's gate, smashing the majestic stone block into pieces.

Qin Shuangyan raised his head and looked at the nine smoke signals in the sky. His face was filled with despair. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "How can this be. . . How can you all do this. . . "

He didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart. Usually, he and his father would satisfy the appetite of those demonic devils. Now, Qin Wuji had just died, and these former partners had come to add insult to injury.

"General Qin, what should we do?"

At this moment, Zhu Hongyue took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

The City Lord was no longer around. He was someone who could manage. Naturally, it was only Qin Shuangyan. At this time, he could only listen to Qin Shuangyan's orders.

“. . . ”

Qin Shuangyan didn't say anything, because at this moment, he was actually thinking of retreating. He had never experienced a beast tide of this scale in his life. After Qin Wuji's death, he had no idea whether he could stop it or not. If he went to the front line, he might die there.

However, Qin Shuangyan didn't dare to say he wouldn't go.

Because escaping at the last minute was a capital offense, especially in such a critical situation. Abandoning the city to escape was a capital offense. Qin Shuangyan wasn't sure if the demonic beasts would kill him, but if he did, he would never be able to escape the Imperial Court's arrest warrant for the rest of his life.

"Let's go to the Great Wall's defense line. . . "

Qin Shuangyan took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He said, "All forces, all warriors, no matter what cultivation base they have, even Physical Body Stage warriors, they must all gather at the Great Wall's defense line!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the patriarchs and chiefs of all forces looked at each other and nodded silently. They knew very well that they couldn't leave this place. With responsibility on their shoulders, they would die if they left.

Therefore, all the major powers in Linghai Giant City started to move at this moment. They mobilized almost all of their forces and warriors to the Great Wall's defense line.

Under this urgent situation, the forces of the Linghai Giant City quickly gathered at the Great Wall's defense line. In the military camp, the leaders of the various forces gathered together, just like how they had listened to Qin Wuji's orders. They listened to Qin Shuangyan's orders and the battle arrangements.

"General Qin, the beast tide is coming. The scale of this beast tide is even more terrifying than the seven smoke signals that just ended, and it is also a full-scale invasion. It was an aggressive attack from the entire border. It was very fast, but luckily. . . We still have a lot of people who have not returned to the city from the previous defense zone. Since the beasts are here, we can still block the first wave of attacks. However, we need the experts present to immediately return and provide support. . . "

On the Great Wall's defensive line, General Zhou Guangyi's face was solemn as he cupped his hands and suggested to Qin Shuangyan.

"No way. "

Qin Shuangyan shook his head and said, "Everyone present, do not leave. All of you defend the defensive line of the Great Wall and give up all the surrounding defensive areas. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd went into an uproar. Those small forces, as well as some of the martial artists that were still in the surrounding defensive areas, immediately exploded.

The invasion of demon beasts was a full-scale invasion from the three thousand mile boundary line. The Great Wall's defensive line was only over a thousand miles, and could only block less than half of the distance.

If they didn't provide support to the surrounding defensive area, the remaining places would be trampled by the beast tide, and they would be able to invade the Linghai Giant City as they pleased. How could they accept this?

But. . .

Among the people present, the three patriarchs were silent. It was a rare occurrence that they didn't express any opinions. They tacitly agreed with Qin Shuangyan's decision.

They were all cunning old foxes. When they heard Qin Shuangyan's order, they immediately understood what Qin Shuangyan was planning.

Qin Shuangyan did not have the determination to stop this beast tide of the highest scale of the nine smoke signals. His original intention was to escape, but the rules of the Imperial Court stated that Qin Shuangyan was not allowed to escape, so he had to face it.

At this time, Qin Shuangyan's first goal was to find a way to live peacefully on the frontlines.

The Linghai Giant City, the cities, the homes, the people. . .

He couldn't care less about all these.

What Qin Shuangyan did was to leave all his forces by his side, and leave them at the Great Wall's defense line. He wanted to leave the entire Linghai Giant City behind to the demonic devils of Evil Spirit Mountain Range to protect himself.

It was true that he was heartless by doing this, but it couldn't be said that he had left his duty. When the army of Demon Suppression House came to help him, Qin Shuangyan had enough excuses to defend himself, because he was at the front line. However, his forces were too weak to stop the beast tide.

Besides, the death of the city lord was a good reason and excuse. Qin Shuangyan could totally take advantage of the situation and put all the responsibility on Chu Yun, who had already run away, to avoid his own responsibility and troubles.

Wang Zhihong, Zuo Lin, and Liu Guofeng had seen all of this. They could also guess what was going on, and their standpoint was the same as Qin Shuangyan's.

If they could protect the Great Wall's defense line, they would be able to protect their own lives. At least from this point of view, the interests of both sides were the same. It was the same as standing on the same side. On the same boat, there were grasshoppers.

"Silence!"

When Qin Shuangyan saw that the military camp seemed to have exploded, his face immediately became furious. He slammed the table and said, "During the war, military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Whatever I say is what it is. If you want to disobey the orders, just stand out and let me punish you according to military law!"

“. . . ”

As soon as he said that, the agitated crowd quieted down.

After all, in this long period of time, the father and son of Qin Clan had accumulated enough prestige in Linghai Giant City. Even though the City Lord had been killed by Chu Yun, Qin Shuangyan was still able to keep his word.

"General Qin, your arrangement is the same as handing over the thousand miles of defensive zone to the beast tide army. At that time, it will be a piece of cake for them to break through the defensive line and invade the Spiritual Sea. At the same time, the Linghai Giant City has no defenses at all!"

Zhu Hongyue took a deep breath, stood up and said.

As the manager of the Yuheng Pavilion, Zhu Hongyue had enough weight when she stood up.

Qin Shuangyan glanced at her. He said indifferently, "Who said I gave up completely? Didn't the general say so? There are still some martial artists who have yet to withdraw from those areas of defense? They can totally be stationed there, and I haven't transferred all of them back, so why did I give up completely? "1

. . . "What's the difference between this and giving up completely? Those who stayed in those defensive regions and didn't leave were only the logistics personnel in charge of collecting supplies. Their true combat strength isn't there at all, so what can they use to resist the nine smoke signal beast tide? "

Zhu Hongyue was so angry that she laughed out loud and questioned.

"It's funny. "

Qin Shuangyan was not afraid at all. He sneered twice. He said, "You also know that this is a beast tide of nine smoke signals. Those defensive areas are not easy to defend against. Could it be that my Great Wall's defensive line is easy? Now that the City Lord is dead, there is a high chance that we will not be able to stop this beast tide. If the Great Wall's defense line falls before the reinforcements from the Demon Suppression House arrive. . . If the Great Wall's defense line is destroyed. . . How would the people of Linghai Giant City fight against the beast tide in the future? We must put all of our strength on the Great Wall's defensive line. We must do our best to protect this place!"

"If the people of Linghai Giant City are all slaughtered by demon beasts, how can there be any future? You said you will do your best to protect the Great Wall's defense line. I think you will do your best to protect yourself! "

Zhu Hongyue was so angry that her whole body was trembling. She pointed at Qin Shuangyan and angrily scolded him.

. . . "Bastard!"

Qin Shuangyan's face also turned pale. Being reprimanded by a woman in front of so many people, he, as a general, could not hold his face anymore. The most important thing was that his thoughts were completely exposed by Zhu Hongyue, causing him to become angry from embarrassment.

Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, outside the military tent, a group of armored soldiers suddenly barged in and said, "General Qin, it's not good. The beast tide has surrounded us. Now, the Great Wall's defensive line has been completely surrounded!"

"What?!"

As soon as he said that, the expressions of everyone present changed.

Qin Shuangyan's head buzzed. He did not care about arguing with Zhu Hongyue anymore. He went forward and grabbed the soldier's collar and lifted him up. He said, "What did you say? Say it again? They surrounded the Great Wall's defense line? Are you sure they're surrounding it, and not walking past it?"

. . . " Yes, yes, this subordinate is sure! "

The soldier panicked and quickly said, "It's not just from the front. The demon beasts on both sides of the Great Wall and behind us have surrounded the entire Great Wall!"

“. . . ”

Qin Shuangyan's hand seemed to have lost its strength, and that soldier instantly fell down, landing on the ground with a big butt. He grimaced in pain, but did not dare to make a sound.

The soldiers who were familiar with Qin Shuangyan knew that at this moment, they absolutely shouldn't show their existence in front of General Qin, lest General Qin vent his anger on them.

And at this moment. . .

Qin Shuangyan was really furious. His hands were clenched into fists, and his face turned red.

"Why. . . Why didn't you go to Linghai Giant City? Instead, you surrounded the Great Wall. . . Why. . . I have already let the entire Linghai Giant City go, why. . . "

Qin Shuangyan waved both his fists, making a crazy whistling sound beside his head. He could no longer calm down, and he felt like he was going crazy.

In fact, it was easy to understand from another angle.

The demonic devils in the beast tide wanted to eat humans, but compared to the ordinary people in Linghai Giant City, they preferred to eat places full of warriors.

And now, almost 90% of the warriors in Linghai Giant City had been transferred to the Great Wall's defense line by Qin Shuangyan to protect himself. Then, the Great Wall's defense line would naturally go from the safest place to the most delicious food that attracted demonic devils.

This is, being smart is the opposite of being smart. . .
