"What is this?"
On the city wall, a group of people gathered around this strange guy with a gray-black complexion and a stiff body. He had wolf ears and a wolf tail on his head and butt respectively, but his appearance was exactly that of a human.
Someone was curious and pulled it twice. It was warm and it was real.
But how could there be such a weird guy?
"Do you think this guy is a monster?"
Someone suddenly said: "I heard from the old man at home that if there are things in the mountains that live long enough, they will turn into evil spirits."
"Then he comes out to harm others."
This statement was immediately refuted by others, "Are you kidding? There are so many evil spirits in the city?"
The man was speechless, "This..."
Then he felt that this shouldn't be the case, and retorted, "Then tell me, what is this?"
The man replied frankly, "I don't know, but I won't talk nonsense."
"..."
The commander frowned and squatted beside the wolf demon. He was quite partial to the idea that this weird guy was a demon.
When the guy was hoisted up using a lasso, there were several arrows stuck in his body. The moment he pulled it out, no blood flowed out, and he didn't even make a sound. He was obviously alive and breathing, but his body was so stiff. Motionless, indescribably weird.
investigation?
How to investigate?
Are you saying this thing is a monster?
How ridiculous.
However, since their discovery, these guys have not shown any threat.
"It would be better if you don't have to worry about it."
Such an idea quietly emerged in the leader's mind, and was immediately strangled by him. How could he ignore it?
You have to take care of it, but you also have to think about how to take care of it.
He has given up looking for the general. A guy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun will not be of any help at all.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the wolf demon was seen lying upright on the ground, his eyes flashed red, his mouth showed sharp fangs, and his expression was ferocious.
"laugh!"
The moment it showed this expression, one hand turned into a wolf claw at some point, revealing sharp nails. With a pop, it easily pierced the commander's armor and penetrated deep into his chest.
However, the strange thing is that even if it was pierced through the chest, not a drop of bright red flowed out.
Instead, very quickly, the leader of a burly man quickly turned pale.
This scene happened between lightning and flint. By the time the soldiers reacted, the wolf demon had already stopped its hand, and the commander fell powerlessly to the side.
There was a clang, that was the sound of armor.
"Commander!!!"
The soldiers were stunned and furious, with anger and murderous intent in their eyes. They raised their weapons and stabbed them mercilessly.
"Uh-huh!"
The wolf demon jumped up, and all the sharp spears fell into the air, stabbing into the hard stone bricks.
Looking at the people in front of him, the wolf demon grinned ferociously, stretched out his hands, and ruthlessly selected two lucky ones.
It only took a moment for the two soldiers to fall straight back, exposing fist-sized wounds on their chests...
This scene made all the soldiers' hair stand on end. A chill ran straight through their spines and rushed up to the Tianling Cap.
The next moment, a kind of emotion called panic swept the whole place.
A person without a leader will die, a team without a leader will be in chaos, and without leadership and suppression, the situation will become extremely chaotic in an instant.
Some may have been so frightened by the scene before them that they turned around without thinking, climbed over the stone fence, and jumped off the city wall...
In short, the scene was extremely chaotic.
The wolf demon was killing people wantonly, and the people couldn't care about anyone else and rushed to escape down the city wall.
Not long after, the heavy city gate opened on one side.
It was at this moment that the spirits standing at the gate of the city with blank expressions finally reacted.
The wolf demon stood on the open side, seemingly looking at them. After a moment, he turned around and walked toward the city without saying a word.
The spirits followed with stiff steps.
Not long after, shocking screams were heard in the city, but no one ran out of the city...
…
After three days here.
Thorn City.
At this time, Liu Jie was discussing with Chu Shijian, Huang Fu and others to concentrate their forces on sending troops to the Southern Wei Dynasty.
The civil strife in the Southern Wei Dynasty presented a rare opportunity.
Some time ago, they had taken the opportunity to capture several cities adjacent to the two camps and turned them into the territory of Western Shu.
Having tasted the sweetness, they planned to pursue the victory and continue to expand the territory of Xishu.
"Report...!"
Suddenly, there was a long sound of reporting from far to near, and then the door was opened directly.
Liu Jie and others looked at the person who came, and saw a soldier kneeling down on one knee after coming in, cupping his fists and handing over his hands, "My lord, according to the report from the scouts, there is a sudden change in Soochow, and Maple City, which is far away from Xiangcheng, All the troops defending the city were evacuated overnight!"
"General Xu and the others who are guarding Xiangcheng have spared no effort to take over Maple City."
"Not only that, but the cities that went deeper into Soochow also turned out to be empty one after another. It's unclear what happened."
"General Xu immediately sent someone back to ask for instructions from my lord. Should we continue to expand and take over the empty city? Or should we hold our troops back and wait and see for the time being?"
Hearing this, Liu Jie raised his eyebrows and said to the soldier: "I know, you go down first!"
"Here!"
The soldier retreated before he was ordered to leave. Before leaving, he brought the door and closed it.
"Shi Jian, Fu Yi, what do you think of this matter?"
he asks.
The latter two looked at each other, and for a moment, their minds were connected and they had the same idea.
Chu Shijian clasped his fists and said, "Back to my lord, Brother Huang and I agree that we should stand still."
"When something goes wrong, something will happen."
"If we continue to go deeper, we will be too far away from Xishu. If there is a deviation by then, no one will be able to support us for a while."
"At that time, it will be a desperate situation!"
"And now, we are planning the Southern Wei Dynasty, and we really can't mobilize excess troops to support it."
When Liu Jie heard this, he nodded, "That makes sense."
Xishu now seems to be the most powerful among the three parties, but only its own family knows the suffering of their own family.
I don’t know whether the news about Soochow is good or bad, so I can put it aside for the time being.
Continue to plot Southern Wei, take steady steps, and finally plot Soochow.
If you are planning on the Southern Wei Dynasty and you are also coveting the Eastern Wu Dynasty, if you suddenly take such a big step and pull your crotch, it will be uncomfortable.
Just when Liu Jie was about to summon the scouts, there was another protracted "report", from far to near, just like before, a soldier came in and knelt on one knee.
"Lord, General Xu will send someone to report again!"
Liu Jie looked at him and said, "Speak!"
In this short period of time, scouts were dispatched twice. Could it be that something unexpected happened?
"General Xu sent people to investigate and found that something seems to have happened in Soochow. All the city's defenders within five hundred miles have withdrawn and shrunk."
"Many refugees appeared at the same time. Now General Xu has accepted some refugees, but they seem to be frightened and have not yet recovered from it."
"General Xu wants to report it after getting the news from the refugees!"
