Chapter 1564 - 1564 Milo's city wall (1)
1564 Milo’s city wall (1)
Manas Empire, outside of Milo.
As the news of war god Hall’s defeat spread, the entire city was filled with sobs. It was as if the entire city was shrouded in dark clouds.
Many of the families of the divine warriors ignored the advice and secretly went to the location of the battle, trying to find their bodies that had been abandoned in the wilderness.
There were also some citizens who chose to move to avoid the disaster. Unfortunately, the war god temple had already sealed the city gates and forbade people from entering or leaving.
They were afraid that the scale of the chaos would expand, and Milo city would collapse on its own without being attacked.
With no hope of escape, the citizens who were forced to stay could only hide in their homes and tremble.
However, most of the citizens were in a wait-and-see state. As the saying goes, it’s difficult to leave one’s homeland. The family business that they had accumulated in their lives was here, so how could it be abandoned just because they wanted to?
They would not give up easily until the last moment.
After receiving the news of their defeat, the guards of the sub-Hall of the God of War in Milo gave an order to gather all the divine warriors who could participate in the battle. As long as they could lift their swords, they were not allowed to run away.
At the same time, Milo had been sending messages to the main temple, hoping to get support from the main temple.
Who would have thought that after sending dozens of distress messages, all he got was a single message from the main God Hall, which was to defend the city to the death and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
As for when the reinforcements would arrive and how many troops there were, he didn’t mention a word.
Those with discerning eyes could tell that the main temple was just being perfunctory. Perhaps, just like the 100000 divine warriors who were sacrificed earlier, Milo was also a target to delay the speed of the cultivators in the city.
With this buffer period, war god temple could mobilize more troops to engage in a new battle with the cultivators of loucheng!
However, even if he could see through it, so what? in this turbulent Whirlpool, everything was beyond his control, and he couldn’t even think about escaping.
The more one understood, the more trouble one would have. It was better for the divine warriors who did not know the inside story to be filled with hot blood and vow to kill the enemy to defend the honor of the God of War.
……
Standing on the city wall, one could see that the Army of cultivators had already swept over and covered the wilderness outside the city.
They were like surging waves, each wave higher than the last!
Looking closely at the cultivators in the city, they were all fully armed and full of killing intent. They looked like evil ghosts that had crawled out of hell. One look at them was enough to make people shiver.
The total number of such iron-blooded cultivators had already exceeded 400000, and it was just a little bit away from reaching 500000!
After a great victory, the number of cultivators in Lou Cheng had doubled again. Perhaps it would not take long for them to break the one million mark.
The divine warriors in charge of guarding the city trembled at the sight of the sea of people. They had never seen such a terrifying scene. With so many cultivators in the city, they could drown in their saliva.
Some time ago, in order to deal with the cultivators in loucheng, the elite forces of the nearby sub-temple of the God of War had been transferred away. Now, most of the divine warriors in charge of guarding the city were old, weak, and disabled, who were not above level 3.
These divine warriors had either never participated in actual combat or had retired and returned home to recuperate. However, at that moment, they were all standing on the city wall, becoming part of the defensive camp.
The commander glanced at his men and sighed in his heart. Using such an incomplete formation to fight against the cultivators of Lou Cheng, who were full of morale, was no different from courting death.
However, he had no choice now. He could either die Here or surrender in humiliation and let the enemy decide his life and death.
As a devout believer of the God of War, the commander had never thought of betraying his faith, even in the face of the threat of death.
……
“Uncle, are we really going to fight the extraterrestrial demons?”
what’s going on? ” a young man with a child-like face asked the divine warrior beside him as he looked away from the enemy camp.
His eyes were filled with unconcealable fear and sorrow, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably, as if he was bearing a weight that he couldn’t bear at his age.
He was still a minor and was only chosen to enter the war god temple because of his outstanding talent. He had just been promoted to a level 1 divine warrior a few days ago.
Under normal circumstances, he would have a glorious life waiting for him in the future. However, with the appearance of Lou Cheng’s cultivators, everything had become a bubble.
Like the other divine warriors, the young man was wearing a worn-out leather armor and holding a rusty sword in his hand. He was waiting for the arrival of the war with a heart full of suffering.
Even though his heart was filled with fear, the young man still did not dare to escape the city wall. Otherwise, what awaited him and his family would be the cruelest punishment.
Hearing the young man’s question, a white-haired old man beside him smiled and patted the young man’s shoulder. He said in a heavy tone, ” don’t be afraid. This is our mission. From the day we became divine warriors, we have to be prepared to sacrifice ourselves to defend the honor of the God of War.
The young man nodded and bit his lips tightly. He said in an unwilling tone, ” “But I don’t want to die yet, I really don’t want to die!”
There were so many enemies, but there were only so many divine warriors guarding the city. The difference in strength between the two sides was so great that it would be a miracle to win!
His tightly clenched fists were constantly trembling, proving how unsettled the young man was.
The old man sighed and looked at the young man who was about the same age as his grandson. He lowered his voice and said, ” if you really get into a fight, remember not to leave the party. You’ll only die faster that way. If the situation doesn’t look good, find a corpse and hide under it.
The old man couldn’t bear to see the young man die meaninglessly, and he was old, so the possibility of him living on the battlefield was very low.
The old man didn’t care about his own life and death. He was only worried about his family, afraid that the cultivators in the building would kill the ordinary people as well.
Before they knew it, the cultivators of the City Tower had already advanced to the front of Milo. The cultivators on the ground and in the air had gathered together, forming an impenetrable wall that gave the divine warriors guarding the city an indescribable and terrifying pressure.
The next wave of attacks would break through the defense of the city wall and kill all the divine warriors who tried to resist.
However, the cultivators of Lou Cheng didn’t act immediately. Instead, they sent one of them to the top of the city and said in a cold voice, ” all divine warriors, listen up. You only have one choice now, and that is to put down your weapons and surrender!
those who surrender must give up their faith, extract the divine power in their bodies, and hand over all their weapons and equipment!
“If you try to resist, the only outcome is death!”
Hearing the cultivator’s words, the divine warriors on the wall looked at each other. A spark seemed to appear in their dead eyes, and then it started to burn.
He had heard from the commander that the otherworldly demons never wanted prisoners. As long as they were divine warriors, they would not be able to escape death.
Since that was the case, what was the difference between surrendering or not? it was better to have a grand battle and step over the enemy’s corpses to die!
However, when they heard that surrendering could save them from death, even the most determined divine warrior wavered and his eyes sparkled.
Seeing this, the commander immediately pulled out his saber and pointed it at the cultivators in front of him. He roared, ” don’t be fooled by the extraterrestrial Devils, everybody. They are just trying to reduce our losses and deceive us into surrendering!
“Even if we surrender, we won’t be able to escape death!”
brothers, as long as we can hold on until the reinforcements from the master God’s Palace arrive, we will definitely win!
Hearing the commander’s roar, the divine warriors who wanted to surrender hesitated. They were afraid that the commander was telling the truth. If that happened, they would be sending their necks to be chopped off.
The cultivator in charge of persuading the commander to surrender sneered and pointed at the commander, ” “Do I even need a strategy to kill you useless people?”
“Since you don’t want to surrender, you can die first!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of light flew out. Immediately after, the commander’s body went soft, and his head with a shocked look shot up into the sky!
