Ember Skywalker

Chapter 249 The city is broken!

"What are your orders, General?"

Count Lyon was covered in blood at this time, and half of his hair and scalp were cut off.

"Organize the evacuation of the city's residents. Evacuate as many as possible."

"General, what about you?" Lyon looked at the city below, feeling hopeless.

"Me? The Grand Duke has already been defeated and is now retreating. Naturally, I have to contain more alien races for him."

"General, please allow me to inform Raven and ask him to come to our aid as soon as possible."

"Him? Humph, a selfish person!
I, Gengu, would rather die at the hands of foreigners than bow my head and beg him!
Besides, what use can Lentini's guards be?"

"Please let the others go. I will stay and kill the enemy to the death!"

"This is an order!"

Gengu shouted.

"Your first child died, and your second child was born not long ago. Go back!"

Ugh!
Lyon had no choice but to agree.

"Also tell Lentini that the city of Weina has been lost. Tell Riven to flee as soon as possible. The Grand Duke cannot afford to lose another magic restorer."

Gengu said with his back to Leon, slashing with his great sword, dismembering the two Zhimin.

Outside the city, Leighton's patience had reached its limit.

He suddenly clamped a Zhimin's neck and roared with bared teeth:

"Boba! It's been two hours and you still can't take this city!"

Jimin was clamped and couldn't breathe, kicking his legs helplessly.

"General, they are really...too strong."

Pfft!
Boba was thrown heavily to the ground.

"Useless! Can the human race be stronger than us?
His Highness ordered Isla and I to lead a unit each to attack Lennon's rear from both wings and cut off their retreat.

But now, in this city, you have delayed me for half a day!

If His Highness blames me, both you and I will lose our heads!"

"General, I'll go myself!

If I can’t get it, I won’t come back!”

Boba spat fiercely, howled, and rushed forward with the surrounding hunting wolf riders.

"Ledon, I just observed that the human race is extremely brave and it seems that they want to die with the city.

If we rely on our own strength, there will probably be a lot of casualties. Let's attack together."

The one who spoke was a clean Zhimin.

He was sparsely haired, with three silver stripes running down each side of his face.

That silver stripe is the symbol of the Orc Twilight Shaman.

"What Shaman Gulio said is correct. We must rush forward and break through here regardless of casualties, only then can we complete the commander's final strategy."

The one who spoke this time was a Yueling.

He rode a night leopard, wore grey Moon Spirit Armour, had long grey hair, and a mask made of half a vine covered his face.

It’s actually Gray Moon Spirit.

Behind him, there were about a thousand subordinates dressed in the same attire.

"Alavi, since you agree, let's start harvesting."

Leton pulled out the rough copper machete behind him, which was covered with smelly blood. It was unknown how many human beings had been killed with this knife.

He licked the machete with his slippery tongue, a cruel look on his face.

"Leave that human general to me."

"Time is running out, so let's do it together. You attract him, and Alawi and I will hide among the tribesmen and wait for the opportunity to strike."

"He is a warrior." Leighton frowned but did not nod.

Twilight Shaman said meaningfully:
“You’re hesitating.

Those humans are just lambs to be slaughtered, and we don’t need to follow the rules when dealing with them.”

"I respect myself, but this time for the sake of the clan's plans, I am willing to make an exception."

Lentini.

At this time, all the military forces in the city had gathered on the top of the city.

Whether they were mercenaries or intelligent orcs, they were all wearing armor and holding swords, looking murderous.

Raven paced anxiously among them, looking grim.

"How is it? Is there any news?" This was the third time he asked.

In the direction of Wei Na City, there was a huge fire, which was particularly bright in the dark night.

Raven knew something was wrong.

The news of the Archduke’s defeat has arrived, and he is now anxious to know whether Zhimin has attacked that side.

That way he can provide support as quickly as possible.

But what’s strange is that the city of Weina didn’t send anyone to ask for help.

Because he didn't know how many enemies there were and from which direction, Raven didn't dare to attack rashly. "Boss, Lanster and the others haven't come back yet." Hesa ​​spread his hands.

"Why are you so slow? Hurry up, it will be too late if you are any later."

Finally, a Jialan bird chirped, and Lanster shouted on the bird's back:
"Something happened in Wei Na City! A large number of intelligent people are attacking there!"

"How many enemies are there?"

"Roughly speaking, there are tens of thousands of people."

"Tens of thousands of people!" Raven gasped.

There was another bird call, and An Qi led several air cavalrymen down and said hurriedly:
"We checked the surroundings and found no enemies anywhere except for Wei Na City."

"Strange, where did this enemy come from?" Raven frowned.

Although the Archduke was defeated, he had not yet retreated back here, so how come the enemy got behind them?

"Boss, what should we do now?" Hesa ​​asked.

"Since we are the only one with this lone troop, we cannot wait any longer. Follow me immediately to provide support!"

"But there are too many Zhimin, and there are less than a thousand of us." Hesa ​​hesitated.

"We won't fight them head-on. We can just attack them from behind and kill them in one fell swoop."

"Whatever you say, I'll just follow you."

Songhesa swung his axe.

"Although I hate Gengu, we have a formidable enemy at hand. I will settle accounts with him later."

"Okay, leave a few riders in the city to pass on the message, and everyone else follow me!"

The gates of Lentini were wide open, and warriors armed to the teeth walked out one after another.

In the wilderness, Count Lyon was leading the residents of Weina to flee.

This was a team of nearly 10,000 people, their formation was long and chaotic, and everywhere was filled with the cries of women and the wailing of children.

The night was pitch black, and there was not a single torch in the team.

For fear of attracting intellectuals, Count Lyon strictly forbade people to use torches.

Everyone followed each other only by the light of the stars at night.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Suddenly, the howling of wolves was heard everywhere.

Hearing this sound, the team was immediately thrown into panic and chaos.

"Ah! They are chasing us!"

"Wow, wow, wow...Mom, I'm scared!"

"Who will save us?" The desperate cries became more and more frequent.

……

"Awoo! Awoo!" The wolf howling was getting closer.

Finally, some collapsed residents left the group, holding their children, and fled in all directions.

"Everyone calm down! Lentini is ahead, speed up!" Leon shouted.

"It's too late. Zhimin is right in front of us."

It was Bishop Hahn who spoke.

He exhausted his divine power in the battle of Weina City and was forced to retreat by General Gengu, along with Pastor Mason.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, please go to Lentini with the others. I will cover your retreat here."

Leon said anxiously.

"Elvi, take a team to escort everyone."

"Sir, you only have two hundred people. How are you going to resist the pursuers?" Guard Elvi said anxiously.

"Stop talking nonsense! This is an order!"

"grown ups!"

"Don't say anything more, and remember, don't stop when you get to Lentini.

There is no way to stop the aliens there, take Riven and head straight to Balalenka!"

"Sir... take care of yourself!" Elvi gritted his teeth and agreed.

Lyon turned around and saw two hundred remaining cavalrymen gathered behind him, their faces grim and murderous.

“Brothers, I should have died in the battle in Weina City, but General Gengu ordered me to evacuate the people in the city, so I was able to survive for half a day.

Now the general has passed away, but I must fulfill his military mission."

Leon drew his sword, pointed at the direction from which he was coming, and shouted: "The enemy is coming! Who is willing to die with me?"

"I am willing!"

"I do too!"

The cavalrymen drew their swords one after another, and no one flinched.

"Haha, great! Let's drink the blood of our enemies tonight!" Lyon laughed.
