The sun is scorching.
There was only a wall between them, and the crowds inside and outside the city tower were equally crowded, but they were completely different scenes.
Outside the city——
The army from Fengdu was ready, and various siege equipment and orbital magnetic cannons had already been set up high. They were just waiting for an order to begin indiscriminate bombing of the fortress city in front of them.
As for the inside of the city.
In front of a huge maglev truck, a dense crowd of people are crowding together.
Under the watchful eyes of Longdu Night Watch.
Sun Xiaolong and Wang Defa were in high spirits and were distributing food and supplies to the hungry citizens in the city in an orderly manner.
"Don't rush, everyone line up!"
He stroked his bald forehead.
Wang Defa put his hands on his hips and said with a proud smile on his face: "Come one by one. This time, the uncle will come back with a full load. Everyone has a share of the food and materials here, but it is still the old rule. The elderly, children and women are given priority. Damn no." Definitely jump in line!”
Compared with the optimism of the bald man.
Sun Xiaolong on the side turned and looked outside the city tower. The murderous intent in his eyes was not hidden, and he even couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.
Rumble~~~
At the end of the street not far away, a row of business motorcades suddenly rushed over and stopped right next to the endless crowd of people.
next moment--
A large number of guards came forward and stood on both sides of the crowded street.
Hu Kui, who led the leaders of the Longdu War Preparedness Department, came in an aggressive manner after hearing the news. As soon as he got out of the car, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.
Hundreds of civilians were queuing up in an orderly manner.
There were not only old people and children among them, most of them even brought their entire families with them, just for a piece of bread and a bottle of relatively clean drinking water in their hands.
"The City Lord...the City Lord is here!"
Someone in the crowd shouted something.
In an instant——
Countless civilians suddenly knelt down to Hu Kui. Most of these people were sallow and thin, with dry lips without any color, which was obviously the result of long-term malnutrition.
"Thank you City Lord, thank you..."
"Fortunately, the city lord ordered people to look for food outside, otherwise we would have starved to death at home."
"City Lord, you are a good person. At least you care about the life and death of us common people. It is really rare and not easy!"
Long live the mountain, and thousands of people worship it.
He couldn't help but be stunned, and the ashes of the cigarette at the corner of his mouth scattered to the ground.
Although Hu Kui has experienced a lot in the past few years, this is the first time he has seen such a scene.
In a daze, he suddenly felt the corner of his clothes being gently pulled.
Hu Kui lowered his head and took a look.
At some point, a child who looked to be only four or five years old came in front of him.
"Uncle, this is for you..."
In his young hands, a small piece of bread was handed to him.
The child in front of him smiled, tilted his head and said: "Grandpa said, you are a good person. I think your uncle must be hungry too. If you eat bread, you will not be hungry again!"
My heart was suddenly startled.
Hu Kui raised his hand to stop the guard who was about to come forward. After choking for a while, he stroked the child's head and said with a forced smile: "Good boy, you can eat by yourself. Uncle is not hungry..."
next moment--
An old man ran out of the crowd and quickly picked up the ignorant child in front of him.
With Hu Kui's acquiescence, he retreated into the crowd with fear.
"Hey, City Lord Hu, you are here!"
Grinning.
With his bald head on his head, Wang Defa walked forward with his hands behind his back and said in a weird voice: "This time we went out to grab food, and it was your name that got us. That's why the people are so grateful to you. How about being supported by others?" It feels pretty good, right?"
"you are vicious......"
He shook his head coldly.
Hu Kui held a cigarette in his mouth, walked past Wang Defa, and said softly: "If it weren't for Lao Xue, I really want to drive you two idiots out of Longdu. At the very least, it won't get out of hand. The situation..."
Hear the words.
The bald man was immediately displeased.
Hu Kui didn't even look back, and led a group of subordinates from the War Preparedness Department directly towards the tower.
The guy raised his eyebrows and was about to curse a few words from afar, but was stopped by Sun Xiaolong who was standing beside him.
"Say less."
He patted the bald man on the shoulder.
Sun Xiaolong had a calm face and said coldly: "Zhao Tianyi said that if we want Hu Kui to make up his mind to fight, we both have to suffer a little injustice..."
Stand with your hands behind your back.
Sun Xiaolong sighed: "Just think of it as giving Boss Xue a little favor. After all, they are a pair of good brothers. Anyway, we will do a good job in this transaction, as long as we have a clear conscience."
He drooped his eyelids.
Wang Defa glanced at the civilians behind him who were still receiving food. In desperation, he had no choice but to swallow back all the curse words.
"What should we do now?" the bald man asked.
"Follow us to the tower."
He moved his knuckles.
Sun Xiaolong smiled solemnly and followed him up the tower: "Get ready to take action and have a big fight."
On top of the city tower.
The wind howled and the heat wave rolled.
"City, City Lord..."
Seeing Hu Kui personally ascending the city tower, the Longdu night watchmen who were guarding the city immediately felt a lot of pressure.
They all stood at attention and saluted respectfully!
"Don't be nervous, I'm here."
He brushed his hands gently.
Surrounded by a group of guards, Hu Kui slowly came to the city tower, overlooking the dense phalanx and siege equipment below the city, and asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation now?"
"The other party asked us to open the city gate within five minutes..."
The officer on duty looked sad and responded quickly: "Otherwise, we will attack the city by force. The shell just now did not directly hit our defensive barrier, it was just a warning."
"It's too much!"
Clench your fists.
Ding Mian stepped forward again and took the initiative to invite a fight: "City Lord, let me bring a few thousand brothers out of the city to fight. These turtle bastards are simply taking advantage of the situation. Any bullshit allies are just wolf ambitions!"
As soon as these words came out.
It immediately aroused the recognition of many night watchmen on the city tower.
For more than half a year, the entire Dragon City has been keeping a low profile. Faced with the encirclement and interception of the imperial city army, it has never taken the initiative to respond to the battle.
But now that they have run out of ammunition and food, everyone is no longer willing to endure it any longer.
As a night watchman, the worst possible outcome is to die on the battlefield!
It's much more enjoyable than being lorded over by someone like this!
"Go out of the city to fight?"
Sighed softly.
Hu Kui glanced at Ding Mian beside him and asked in a deep voice: "How sure are you that you can drive away these beasts in front of you?"
Hit the nail on the head.
Ding Mian, who had been shouting just now, immediately stopped talking.
The enemy in front of them has strong troops and horses. As for our own side, although there are more than 20,000 troops, their combat strength is poor, and they are basically hungry for a long time.
Not to mention the chance of winning, the chance of a tie is also very slim.
"Since you don't know what's going on, why do you brazenly say you want to go to war?"
He glared hard at everyone.
Hu Kui held a cigarette in his mouth, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "War is not a child's play. I know you think it is useless, but compared with the safety of millions of civilians behind us, what does our arrogance mean?"
The hot sunlight shines directly on Hu Kui's aging face.
once Upon a time.
Like Ding Mian next to him, he is not only impulsive and irritable, but he never considers the consequences of doing things.
But after all these years of experience.
The Hu Kui in front of him was no longer the young boy who was fearless, but the leader of this city with a population of millions.
In the overall situation, personal honor and disgrace are no longer important.
The responsibilities and obligations on his shoulders are the key points that Hu Kui really must consider.
"Could it be that the person on the tower is City Lord Hu?!"
A strange shout suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts.
In front of the dense military formation, a familiar figure was lying on his back on a tall and powerful chariot.
A hair style as messy as a chicken coop.
The man in front of him smiled sinisterly and shouted loudly: "My lord, Fengdu Jia Qing, it's our first time to meet you. It's a great honor to meet you!"
