At the fourth hour when the demon tide broke out in Beiyanze, the sky outside showed a very clear sky, but the sky outside Beiyanze was still gloomy and gloomy. Only the sky above Beiyanze border was slightly cloudy. It was a bright scene, but it was still covered by beacon smoke and fire oil, and it never saw the light of day. Even if there was the slightest light, it was still blocked by thousands of demon tides, and no glimmer of light could fall into the northern smoke.
For more than three hours, in Zhibei City, which is closest to the North Yanze border, the private soldiers of the Lu family have been transporting spies to and from the city for more than a hundred times. However, the old head of the Lu family, who is personally supervising the army at the top of the city, has However, he was reluctant to order his subordinates to take any sporadic actions. He only ordered his troops to stay still and rest at the top of the city and inside the city. They were not in a hurry to go to the North Yanze border to rescue the emergency. In the end, even several Lujiajia and Luchui couldn't hold back for a while. He was anxious and asked again and again, but the old man sat with his knife in his hand and did not even open his eyes.
Even Lu Chui was impatient. Looking from the distance from the city gate, he wished his eyes would sore and shed tears. He wanted to look in the direction of Bei Yanze, but he could only detect that the monster was probably heading towards the gate again. After advancing a little, it no longer had any effect. I just listened to the horses running back and forth almost non-stop. They changed horses five times, but they still didn't get any very useful information. They were like ants on a hot pot, pacing back and forth at the top of the city. He kept walking, sometimes frowning, sometimes looking up into the distance, never having a stable time at all.
And in addition to being so anxious, no one can say clearly whether there is any fear or panic.
"Just sit still, boy, do you think there is any chance of turning around after today's battle? There is no one in the whole Lu family who can be like me. I often visit the North Yanze border. When I sent When you went to thoroughly investigate the accounts, I actually had a share of the corruption in it, but the amount was nothing compared to this corruption case. This money divided from the Lu family was probably even yours. I can all think of where I'm going." The old man closed his eyes and meditated. His words were very slow and leisurely, but there was always a hint of ridicule in them. Lu Chui always felt a little embarrassed when he heard that, but it happened to be a change of thought that diluted the Many people were anxious and frightened, so they pulled up a wicker chair and sat side by side with the old man.
How could Lu Chui not know what his elders said? Ever since he went out to travel around the world, he had often heard that his elders often wanted to go shopping in the north. Most of the time, his excuse was to say that the area around Beiyanze was cold and cool. , often go for a walk in this area, it can tighten the muscles and bones, prolong life, not to mention that Beiyanze has blocked countless catastrophes that are enough to wipe out households for several cities around it. If there is any reason, you should go and visit. Although many people in the Lu family are worried about the safety of their old master, they have forgotten one thing. The old master's ears are so tough that no one can persuade him to do anything, so they have no choice but to let him go to Beiyanze border from time to time.
As for the money, it can always be allocated by the head of the family. When Lu Chui went to check the accounts, he naturally pretended that he had never seen it. Where the old head of the Lu family planned to use the money, he naturally had his reasons. Of course, There is no need to bother yourself to take care of it, and it is expected when I heard that the master talked about it today.
"When I went to the border not long ago, I heard that two masters came to help. The situation seemed to be much better than before. However, the situation today is different from the past. This demonic tide is appalling, and it is beyond the control of Beiyanze, which has been tired for many years. The heavy losses they have endured have exceeded their upper limit. It is really not easy to rely on the so-called loyalty and bravery, or to be unafraid of death. As a slim chance of victory with less to defeat more, it is not easy to survive until this moment. "The old man looked at his increasingly proud young man and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, our Lu family can survive this danger. As long as there are still people left in Beiyanze, we will definitely come to help, and many of them will probably die. People, and you are not among them."
Just when the old man was smiling at the young future head of the Lu family, a servant, covered in blood, came galloping from afar on horseback. He casually pulled off the blood-stained sleeve of his robe and held it high in his hand. On the top, blood was flowing from his mouth. Just by holding up the blood-stained battle robe, he was already teetering on the horse.
As early as when the demonic tide came to the north of Yanze, the Lu family had dozens of fast horses galloping around. Among them were several large families except the Lu family, who had already been ordered by the head of the Lu family. Next, make plans early, use your wealth to support your troops, and accumulate a large number of private soldiers or servants before you go to the monster. Just wait until Bei Yanze falls, so that you can protect several cities with your own saved manpower. It is already doomed. The soldiers are all ready, just waiting for Beiyan Zeru
If something unexpected happens, all of them will stand on top of the city to protect the people. Dozens of fast horses left the city one after another. Every time there was a post road, the horses would be replaced and kept going day and night. There were birds that had been tamed by people and carried letters and reports, flying to various places.
The Lu family has been operating in these cities over the years, not just to fill their own pockets, but to use all their surplus money on things like this, which should have been connected equally to different places on Zihao. The inns should not all be connected, but under the arrangement of everyone led by the Lu family, these innumerable inns, large and small, have already been connected. Whenever a big disaster occurs in Beiyanze, all such news must be sent to all the inns. at. The border area is like a huge net. If there is even the slightest trace of a flying insect hanging on the net, it will surely affect the whole body, and eventually everything on this giant net will be transmitted to all the countries.
Although the consumption and daily supply of such an inn require a huge amount of money, the Lu family has been able to hold on until now, and it is finally time to use it.
When Lu Chui opened his eyes again in a daze, there were already many important people in the Lu family around him. Not all of them were in power in the Lu family, but they were the most proficient in the various businesses of the Lu family or allocating money and food to build farmhouses. Almost all those who manage the paddy fields are here, and the surrounding area is like a stone cave, with torches constantly burning, beeping and peeling, which can illuminate the expressions and eyes of the people around them. They are all empty, fearful, and very worried. Zhongzhong looked up to the sky. In front of the way out of the stone cave, there were more than ten servants wearing armor patrolling back and forth, and no one was allowed to pass. .
There was almost no need for Lu Chui to think about it. Just by recognizing the faces of the strangers and familiar people around him, he knew what his grandfather was thinking. Most of them wanted to leave the roots for the Lu family to prosper again in the future. . So he and himself, the future head of the family, also sent people to sneak attack and knock him unconscious, and carried him here alive. Even now, when he woke up slightly, he still felt pain in the back of his head.
At this time on the ground, monsters that had not crossed the North Yanze City Pass for a long time were already surging into several cities. Even though the cave here was extremely deep, Lu Chui could still feel the vibrations that could be said to shake the heavens and the earth. It was heard from everywhere, the most breathtaking and frightening thing to hear. However, the dozen or so armored servants surrounded them with swords and guns, preventing anyone from passing. Even the deer hanging swaying as he stepped forward, his face was expressionless. Whether you raise your sword horizontally and let him fly into a rage, or you may use the power of the future head of the family to suppress him, or you may vow to live or die with the Lu family, no matter what, you will not let him go.
"Young Master, have you ever thought that a few of us, who have followed the Lu family for many years, are willing to survive here? If the Lu family has its backbone, it can still be destroyed and re-established. But if they all die in this battle, how can they survive? Can anyone remember how many lives the Lu family lost in this catastrophe that could sweep the world? Since the young master is the young master, he might as well calm down and think clearly about the mission entrusted to him by the old master. The right way is to be able to do all things thoroughly in the future, and to be able to single-handedly revive the Lu family."
Of course Lu Chui knew what his elder was thinking, but he still sat dejectedly in the middle of the crowd. Even if he could see the young man's face clearly through the faint light of the fire, they all came forward to express comfort, but they all felt that the words The two characters were the most pale. In the end, they just sat around the deer hanging by chance. With the light of the weak torch, stars holding the moon seemed to surround this young man whose shoulders were not very straight, but who was forced to carry a heavy load. A few feet up, there was the sound of a monster roaring and stamping on the ground, causing the stone cave to shake.
The situation at the North Yanze border gate changed several times, but in the end, as the old head of the Lu family expected, the narrow city wall could no longer stop the monsters.
Even Chu Xin and the Prince Shangqi who were at the border gate were suddenly covered in blood and their faces could no longer be distinguished. They stood in peace in blood-clothed clothes. Yun Zhong almost caused the entire red dragon to drain out all the inner energy that had been accumulated for a long time. In the end, the red dragon's body was no more than three feet long and turned into a rope with no color at all. , Rourou put it on the wrist, and even the inner energy in Yun Zhong's body was poured out at the opportunity to face the Liantian monster. If Liu Dan, Yun Yiliang and several others had not saved him desperately, I am afraid that his safety would still be unpredictable today. .
Nearly 80% of the guards in Beiyanze City were destroyed. After blocking the monsters for five hours, it was finally unsustainable. Not even the monsters had the slightest intention of fighting. They left endless monster body parts and corpses and crossed Beiyan. Zebian Pass spread out in all directions like a torrent. Liu Qing almost exhausted all his remaining strength and borrowed the red dragon's inner energy to push it open.
A new formation to protect the remaining people in Beiyanze. Bei Yanze suffered the heaviest damage in nearly many years, blocking the progress of countless monsters. Monster corpses alone left countless monster corpses along the coast of Bei Yanze and along the city walls. The thickest ground is nearly tens of feet high, which makes the city wall a little taller.
Everyone was still frightened, and everyone was exhausted. Even after Liu Qing's formation was opened, many people had fallen asleep, but only half of them could wake up. There were no less than a hundred people who died from exhaustion. .
The southern wall was smashed into the city, leaving only ruins.
