Seeing that nearly one-third of the people below were missing, Yuan Zheng's heart was bleeding. These people were all the pride of heaven and the pillars of the next generation of the Han Empire and the Royal Academy, but now they died here.
But the dean also knows that without experiencing the experience of life and death, these people cannot grow up at all.
Then, Yuan Zheng looked into the distance. The demon cloud was getting farther and farther away. It seemed that the demon army had indeed retreated.
At this time, Lin Yun had completely recovered his spiritual energy under the influence of the Heaven-Devouring Earth-Devouring Technique.
Afterwards, Lin Yun stood up and let the three women recover their spiritual energy, while he protected the three women.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Yun took a look at the entire audience. At the beginning, there were more than 3,000 people from the Royal Academy and Yaochi combined, but now, there are only more than 2,000 people left. Thousands of people died here.
Although the demon army lost 100,000 people, the losses on the human side were still the greatest. Most of the people who died on the demon side were people with low cultivation levels and could be quickly replenished. However, the losses on the human side were all outstanding young people. A generation, just like the Battle of Yiling during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei's worst loss was not his troops, but a large number of excellent middle and lower-level officers. This also led to the decline of talents in the late Shu Han Dynasty.
While Lin Yun was observing, Yuan Zheng's communication symbol, who was observing the situation in mid-air, suddenly lit up.
Yuan Zheng took out the communication talisman and looked at the contents inside.
"No, hurry up, everyone, leave immediately and return to the city."
After reading the contents of the communication talisman, Yuan Zheng's expression changed greatly and he said.
"What's wrong?"
Qinghe and the beautiful woman from Yaochi asked.
"I finally know why the demons drove people here but didn't take action. Their goal is not these people at all, but us."
Yuan Zheng said.
"They want to use these people to attract us here, and then use the army to drag us here. They can take advantage of the time when the imperial army has not arrived to capture the Thirteen Cities of Demon Abyss."
Yuan Zheng said with a frown.
"The city behind just sent me a distress message. The demon army has surrounded them and is now attacking. The city can no longer be defended and is asking for help from us."
Yuan Zheng said.
"But what should we do here? There are still many people who have not evacuated?"
Qinghe said.
"Just leave a hundred people and two mentors to assist. There are not many people here, and the demon army should not come again. All the remaining people will go to the city, and the remaining people Don’t send them to the city behind, go north, pass Jialing Pass, and let them go to the city behind Jialing Pass.”
Yuan Zheng said to Qinghe.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Qinghe nodded and said.
"Fairy Rose, let's go back first. The situation in the city is not good."
Then, Yuan Zheng said to the beautiful woman.
"That's fine."
The beautiful woman thought for a moment, nodded and said.
Afterwards, the two of them ran directly towards the back.
"The lower classes of the Royal Academy are out."
At this time, Qinghe came to the top of the crowd and shouted.
Everyone opened their eyes one after another and were stunned for a moment, not knowing what happened.
"Can't you hear it? People from the lower classes are coming out."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Qinghe said again.
This time no one dared to neglect and walked out one after another.
"Aren't you two going out?"
Lin Yun asked Huo Wu and Xu Shiya.
"You haven't noticed my cultivation level. I'm already in the realm of life and death."
Huo Wu said.
"I have always been in the intermediate class. Because I have been refining alchemy, not many people know about it."
Xu Shiya said.
Only then did Lin Yun notice that Huo Wu and Xu Shiya were at the realm of life and death.
At this time, about a hundred people came out.
"Okay, you will be led by Instructor Li and Instructor Jiang. They will continue to assist the people here to retreat. All the remaining people will return to the city."
Qinghe said.
"The people from Yaochi set off immediately for the city without any delay."
At this time, a person from Yaochi also came out and said.
After hearing these two pieces of news, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Everyone was not stupid and knew what this news meant.
"Mr. Sir, could it be that the city behind has been attacked?"
Chu Qingcheng stood up and said.
"Probably not. If it were breached, the order would not be this, and no one would be left."
Lin Yun said.
Afterwards, Lin Yun took out the flying boat, and everyone also took out the flying boat and rushed towards the back.
After Qinghe said a few words to the two mentors who stayed behind, he also galloped towards the city behind.
Back in time when everyone was fighting the demon for the second time, people in the city also became a little busy. A large number of people were transported into the city. Soon the city was overcrowded, and the city lord's palace had to send people to move the people there. Send them to a designated place for placement.
"There are still hundreds of thousands of people who have not come in. I don't know if this place can accommodate so many people."
The city lord said as he looked at the signs indicating that each settlement site was full.
"City Lord, City Lord, it's not good."
Suddenly, a man stumbled in from outside and said.
"Why are you panicking? What happened?"
The city lord put down the map and asked.
"Demon, the demon army is coming to attack the city."
The person outside took a breath and said.
"What?"
Hearing this, the city lord was shocked and immediately left the city lord's mansion and walked towards the city wall.
"Hasn't the demon army been blocked outside the city? Why did the demon army appear here? Didn't the people from the Royal Academy block it?"
The city lord said in his heart.
When the city lord climbed onto the city wall, he discovered that on the left and right sides of the city, two demonic armies were rushing towards us, numbering no less than 300,000.
"It's broken. It's a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Seeing this scene, the city lord immediately understood the demon's plan.
"General Zhao, General Zhao."
The city lord immediately turned around and shouted.
"The end will be here."
A man in armor came out and said.
"Order the soldiers to board the city wall immediately and prepare to resist the demons. All casual cultivators must also come up, as well as crossbows and other city defense tools. We must resist the demons' attack."
The city lord said.
"The last general takes orders."
The man in armor bowed his hands and went down. After a while, the huge bells sounded throughout the city.
Immediately afterwards, a transparent light film enveloped the entire city, and the city's protective formation was activated.
At this time, the city lord was sending a rescue request to the other city lords.
But the city lord was disappointed, and the other city lords also said that they were also attacked by the demons here, and their troops were stretched thin and could not support them at all.
"The thirteen cities of Demonic Abyss were attacked at the same time. Do the demons want to make a full breakthrough?"
The city lord looked at the contents of the communication talisman and said.
