Chapter 52: The Situation Outside (1)
Translator: 549690339
Song City, on the city wall.
“Father, I’m scared.”
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old child fell into the arms of a middle-aged man. He looked at the demonic beast below the city wall with a sobbing tone.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”
The middle-aged man touched his son’s hair and looked at the Song family guard behind him, pleading,””Lord, can you let me go down? I’ll just kill a few more demon beasts.”
“Cut the crap!”
The Song Clan member lashed the man’s back with his whip.” All Song City residents above the age of 14. have to go up the city wall to defend against the demonic beasts.”
“This is the rule of the family head. You still dare to bargain? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll kill you!”
As he spoke, he lashed out even harder, scaring the child in the man’s arms into wailing.
As for the man, he could only comfort his child while smiling apologetically at the guard.
This scene was seen by the group of martial artists. The young man leading them frowned and then planned to go forward.
His friend beside him quickly stopped him.” Brother Zhaoling, what do you want?”
“Naturally, I’m going to seek justice! If a fourteen-year-old child was sent today, he would be thirteen tomorrow. It wouldn’t be long before all the children would be sent up.”
The man called Brother Zhaoling said angrily.
“Brother Zhaoling, lower your voice! Moreover, he wanted these commoners to resist the demon tide. No matter which aristocratic family it was, they would do the same. It was just that the Song family had gone a little overboard.”
” Moreover, Brother Zhaoling, you still bear the hope of the Qing family rising up. If you lose your life because of recklessness, how can you face your ancestors?”
Hearing this, Qing Zhaoling clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath.” I understand.”
Qing Zhaoling immediately turned his head away and hypnotized himself that he did not hear or see anything.
Below the city wall, in a depression.
Chen Xuan, who had heard the sound from the city wall, sighed deeply.
The Song family actually sent their children to resist the demon tide. They were simply crazy!
Although the other aristocratic families had also sent out their citizens to resist the demon wave, they would all protect their children and give them hope. These people would also do their best to resist the demon tide because their children were in the city.
No matter who you are, you have to go to the city to resist the demon!
“The Song family will suffer the wrath of heaven sooner or later!”Chen Xuan, who was born as a commoner, did not have a good expression towards this kind of aristocratic family that wantonly exploited the common people.
“Fortunately, I met the patriarch. Otherwise, I would have been pushed to the city wall.”After letting out a faint sigh, Chen Xuan turned around and left.
Two flowers bloomed, each showing a branch.
At this moment, in Song City, in the Song Residence.
The Prefectural Governor looked at Patriarch Song with an unfriendly expression.” Patriarch Song, when the Chen family sent the news over, you didn’t believe it. Now that the demon horde is at the city gates, do you believe it?”
“You!” Master Song paused for a moment before sighing,””Sigh, it’s useless to say all this now.
Lord County Governor, for now, we can only think of a way to resist the demon tide.”
“Humph! I’ll leave this idea to Patriarch Song. Forgive me for not accompanying you. Farewell!”The county governor waved his sleeve and left the Song family angrily.
Pa!
When Master Song saw this, he smashed the chair he was sitting on into powder in anger. Then, regret appeared on his face. If he had believed the Chen family’s news, even if he had gone to investigate, perhaps the outcome would have been different.
But now, it was useless to regret. He could only push more commoners to the top and try his best to retain the strength of the Song family.
Chen City.
After the second wave of attacks from the demonic beasts was disintegrated, there was no sign of the demonic beasts making a comeback for an entire day.
Yang Chen heaved a sigh of relief. If he had time, he could reinforce the city walls and recover his spiritual energy.
Below the city wall, bonfires were being lit up. This demon wave had given the people of Chen City a good meal.
This Demonic Beast meat was a great tonic for martial artists in the Qi Refining stage.
Even the direct descendants of the Chen family were not so extravagant as to eat demon beast meat for every meal. Now, this demon wave gave the people of Chen City the chance to eat demon beast meat.
Yang Chen took a deep breath as he looked at the children who were drooling beside the bonfire. His eyes became determined.
Even if it’s for these children, I have to protect the city!
“Patriarch, General Chen Xuan has returned.”At this moment, the First Elder brought Yang Chen a piece of good news.
“Is that so? Quickly, come with me to welcome Chen Xuan.” Chen Yang wanted to know the situation in the outside world too much at this moment. He hurriedly brought Chen Xuan down the city wall and jumped all the way to Chen Xuan.
“Chen Xuan pays his respects to the Patriarch!” Chen Xuan saw that Chen Yang had come to welcome him personally, so he quickly got off the wolf and knelt down.
“There’s no need to be so polite.” Yang Chen supported Chen Xuan and pulled him up in the air.” Tell me about the situation outside.””
“Patriarch, let’s go back and talk.”Chen Xuan said with a smile.
“Right, right, right. First Elder is right. It’s too dangerous outside. Let’s go in and talk.”
Immediately, Yang Chen pulled Chen Xuan’s arm and walked toward Chen Cheng with a smug look on his face. Take a look, this is my Chen family’s guard, that’s how powerful he is.
Chen Xuan was shocked when he saw the clan head treating him with such courtesy.
Then, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and followed Chen Yang to Chen City. At the same time, a thought appeared in his heart.
I, Chen Xuan, will only follow the Patriarch’s lead in this life!
Chen City, on the city wall.
After reaching the city wall, Chen Yang could no longer hold back and quickly asked,””Tell me, what’s the situation outside?”
Chen Xuan slowly shook his head.” Family Head, the situation outside is not optimistic. The entire Nanyang County was hit by the demon tide.”
“Even the Song Clan suffered heavy losses from the demon horde.”
“As for the other aristocratic families, their vitality has been greatly damaged. I also saw with my own eyes that Liu City was attacked by demonic beasts. The entire Liu Family, a ninth-rank aristocratic family, died in battle. The entire Liu City was like hell on earth.”
“On the other hand, Mo Cheng, Feng Cheng, and Li Cheng were prepared because we informed them in advance. The losses were still acceptable.”
After listening to Chen Xuan’s report, the smile on Chen Yang’s face disappeared,” What’s wrong with these animals in the Endless Mountain Range? They actually dare to act like this.””
“Aren’t they afraid that the royal family will clean them up?”
“If they consider the consequences of their actions, then they are not demonic beasts.”Chen Xuan said disdainfully.
“Since no one in Nanyang County can help us, we can only save ourselves.”Yang Chen took a deep breath and a fighting spirit radiated from his body.
“Now, let’s see if we can’t hold on first, or if this demon beast can’t hold on first!”
At the same time, outside the Beast Tamer Sect in Jiang Prefecture.
Demon Monarch Scarlet Refinement flicked his tongue and roared at the Zifu Disciple of the Beast Tamer Sect.
The Spirit Eared Fox on his back quickly translated,” Luo Rong, I wonder if you are satisfied with the gift my king brought?”
Luo Rong was about to explode from anger. He wanted to go out and fight Demon King Chi Lian, but when he saw the two demon kings beside Demon King Chi Lian, he swallowed his anger.
“Demon King Scarlet Refinement, aren’t you afraid that the royal family of Da Qian will punish you for your actions?”
