After the initial chaos and crowding in the Suzaku Inner City, with full escort by the Guards, more and more people in the inner city began to pour into the Central Axis Avenue. Now more than 100,000 people have left the inner city.
But what made these soldiers uncomfortable was that the chaos that had gradually calmed down expanded again because of the people who left the city.
Except for the family members of the Guards who were the first to leave with the city defense army, the number of these fastest-running civilians was only about 10,000. Some people also have family properties in the outer city and disperse immediately after leaving the city, but there are also some people who have worked hard for most of their lives to settle down and buy property in the inner city. Amidst the waves of anxiety, they have some strange thoughts.
They actually hoped that the so-called great chaos would come soon, otherwise the family property they left in the inner city would be robbed completely by others, and as the great chaos described as extremely dangerous continued to come, , I don’t know who among the people guarding the south gate shouted "liar", and immediately dozens of people rushed to the city gate first.
At this moment, in order to provide a place for the people in the inner city who had not been removed after leaving the city, the city defense troops who were the first to leave the city also moved their formation to the farthest place, and the guards who escorted these people out of the city immediately returned to the city to continue escorting them. This creates a huge void for the common people in charge.
Those people who wanted to return to their homes in the inner city rushed into the city gate without any hindrance. People's hearts were the most herald. Although the curtain of fire in the direction of the city lord's palace had proved the danger of the inner city, there were still thousands of people who wanted to return to their homes in the inner city. People's emotions were affected, and they crowded towards the south gate calling for relatives and friends.
Then, the two streams of people entering and exiting crowded directly on the avenue at the south gate. For a while, there was a lot of shouting and cursing. As time passed, the guards who escorted the people out of the city discovered that The clue is that when I want to adjust, I can't squeeze to the front at all, and I can't find the culprit causing such congestion.
What made these Guards feel most powerless was that they had reacted quickly enough. Just when they were about to send people to clear the way back and make way for a buffer zone, they were extremely depressed to confirm that their retreat had been blocked by the flow of people coming from behind. , now we can neither advance nor retreat.
They looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding why the situation, which was improving a little bit, suddenly reached a complete deadlock. You must know that at this time, there are at least 150,000 people in the inner city who have not had time to move.
Fortunately, it is this group of people who have a higher status compared to the millions of people in Suzaku City. If they were not so cooperative, they would not be delayed. If they were informed of the situation ahead, their previous efforts would be greatly reduced. It may fall short.
"what happened?"
A man abandoned his horse and asked with a solemn expression.
When the general saw the visitor, he said with great respect: "Commander, it must be that the people who went out wanted to return to the city, so they were blocked in front."
After Xing Fei was rescued by his subordinates, he did not go to Geshan. Instead, he led the expanded bodyguards to calm down the chaos. When he heard this situation, he immediately understood the serious relationship and shouted solemnly. He said: "Give me the order, let the next batch of people who need to be transferred go out through the water gate in the west of the city or the cargo gate in the east of the city. There are too many people at the south gate of the central axis, so no more people will leave."
There are only three gates leading from the inner city to the outer city, but people entering and exiting go straight to the south gate connected to the central axis avenue. At this moment, after Xing Fei prompted him, the general showed a slightly ashamed look and went straight to accept the order, while eliminating a group of people. A messenger team, while leading his soldiers to escort the people he was responsible for to the water gate in the west of the city.
This movement naturally aroused doubts among the people who were already feeling uneasy, but it was not known if anyone recognized Xing Fei. After he revealed his identity, he followed the general and quickly left the Central Axis Avenue.
"This is not enough, keep at it."
Xing Fei flew to the corner of the tall building on one side, feeling the movement of the air rushing above the fire curtain, and said Na Na.
He had roughly guessed that the person currently fighting Bai Hao was Mu Qing, but he had no choice but to hope that Mu Qing could delay everyone's time.
After he returned to the personal guard, he glanced at everyone. The thousand cavalry he had been leading had already dismounted their horses and were wearing only single clothes, in order to be able to calm down the chaos in chaos. On the left side of these thousand cavalry, there were only about 70 city defense troops left. They were covered in blood, and it seemed that they had not broken their promise.
Just as Xing Fei was about to speak, his figure suddenly shook, causing his soldiers to exclaim: "General!"
A gust of wind blew up, and Xing Fei's figure was about to fall to the ground. A figure appeared directly beside him, reaching out to support him.
"Your physical condition is very bad." Bai Hu directed his energy towards Xing Fei and reminded him calmly.
Xing Fei shook his head and pulled away Bai Hu's hand. Seeing that Xing Fei had no intention of talking to him, Bai Hu took out a pill and forcibly fed it into his body without Xing Fei's consent. Then he disappeared, leaving only a trace. A warning from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion: "Bai Hao will soon notice the decrease in blood energy!"
After Wanhua Dan entered his body, Xing Fei's condition improved a lot, but Bai Hu's reminder made him look even paler.
He had just felt that the space where the fire curtain was located seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing the blood energy that permeated the inner city. He just guessed that the battle between Mu Qing and Bai Hao must be very fierce.
At this time, after Bai Hu reminded him, Xing Fei realized that when Bai Hao discovered that the blood energy was no longer flowing into the fire curtain, that was when the Nether Flame Formation was completely destroyed.
Although the sunlight in the autumn afternoon is not as intense as in summer, it is shining brightly and is enough to burn people's hearts, not to mention the biting heat that spreads from the fire curtain to all directions.
Xing Fei let out a heavy breath, his eyes flashed across the faces of the soldiers fighting side by side with him, and then looked further away. In those workshops, there should be brothers from the Guards shouting loudly. After running around to persuade each other, some people are still hesitating, and some people are still nostalgic for the wealth they have accumulated over half their lives despite taking action.
The soldiers also noticed Xing Fei's strange behavior, retracted their sight of looking for Bai Hu, and gradually fell silent.
Xing Fei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "We have no time, and these people in the inner city are almost running out of time."
The soldiers did not speak to each other. With their resolute expressions, they all tried to stand up straight and tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands. Xing Fei turned forward and ordered: "Except for soldiers, anyone who enters the city at this time will be killed."
The soldiers were shocked. They had no idea why Commander Xing Fei, who had always protected and loved the people, would issue such an overbearing and cruel military order. When they looked around, Xing Fei was already heading forward.
These soldiers gritted their teeth, either got back on their horses, or followed Xing Fei's example, quickly weaving in and out of the buildings on both sides of the central axis avenue. When they arrived at the most crowded and chaotic city gate, Xing Fei filled his chest with enough energy and his voice was like thunder. There was a loud shout: "Anyone who faces the city and refuses to retreat will be killed!"
There were no unnecessary words. Even those who wanted to go into the city to see if their homes had been stolen or robbed. Before the innocent people in the past could react, Xing Fei picked up a standard spear and charged in. Among the people entering the city.
Xing Fei's face was extremely cold. Every time he swung his gun forward, he used all his strength. Only in this way, even if these people died, they would not block everyone's way out of the city.
However, when more and more people's blood spattered on his face, and when they even looked at him with disbelief after recognizing him, Xing Fei had countless kilograms of liquor poured into his chest, and then he was It's so heartbreaking to light a fire.
"Anyone who faces the city and refuses to retreat will be killed!"
"Anyone who faces the city and refuses to retreat will be killed!"
Finally, his personal guards arrived at the front line. When someone started to repeat his voice, they started one after another, and then gradually formed a unified voice: "Anyone who faces the city and does not retreat, kill!"
The hard lines on Xing Fei's face could no longer be stretched.
Especially when the corner of his eye glanced at the scene of a one-sided massacre that quickly unfolded because of his order, Xing Fei had never had such strong self-doubt as to whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
Numbly waving the spear in his hand forward, Xing Fei suddenly remembered a scene in his mind.
Once upon a time, the sunset was as red as blood. He and Geshan were riding back to camp, but the atmosphere between the two of them became tense because of an assumption on the way back.
He still remembered Ge Shangao sitting on his horse, pointing at the people who were returning home with a trace of fatigue on their faces, and said with a smile: "If one day, you are asked to kill one of them and save the rest, you should How to choose."
At that time, he had just been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Guards, and he was in the best of spirits. He immediately shook his head and said that there was no such possibility, and Suzaku City would only get better and better under his protection.
But Geshan asked him to make a choice. What was his answer at that time?
Xing Fei's eyes were dazed, and he vaguely remembered that he said that if this situation really happened, he would consider getting rid of the person who gave this choice.
"Commander, please spare your life—puff—"
Another stream of warm blood splashed onto his face. Xing Fei returned to his body after deep thought. He was shocked to find that he had already reached the south gate. The people who wanted to enter the city had already dispersed like birds and beasts. In a hurry, they even The rare belongings that fell on the ground disappeared into the depths of the crowd before they could be picked up.
Xing Fei Chuqiang looked back and saw more than a dozen corpses of civilians lying in the passage inside the city gate, and on the connecting central axis avenue, the civilians who were about to leave the city stayed in place with the soldiers.
He looked at them and they looked at him.
Xing Fei, who had been at the peak of the second level for many years, finally began to relax.
"I finally made a choice..." He said bitterly in his heart, and then stepped aside and walked aside.
