Chapter 23 Another world
Anyang and Jinglong are located in the southeast and southwest of the Imperial City of the Wind Empire respectively. They are two of the acropolis that defend the imperial city. They originally stationed tens of thousands of troops, but due to the tight fighting on the front line, most of the regular troops were transferred away.
Those who guard the city are forced militiamen.
Life in the Imperial City of the Wind Empire is difficult. Many people are selling their sons and daughters. A heavy snowfall last night froze thousands of people to death.
Life in the two acropolis was even more difficult. Not only ordinary people, but also the militiamen froze to death.
They are militiamen in name, but in fact most of them were forcibly recruited. Their military rations were not much, and they were deducted by noble officers, so what they got was barely enough to survive starvation.
Early in the morning a few hours ago, when the snow had just stopped and the sky was still bright, in the military camp outside Anyang City, a hungry militiaman climbed up from his tent, took out his bow and arrow and went out to hunt.
He was a hunter before being drafted, and he knew very well that after such a snowy night, animals would move slowly and leave footprints in the snow, making it easier to hunt.
The hungry militiamen took a few companions and left the camp to the suburbs. They walked three or four miles forward and arrived at a hillside.
The hillside is almost a hundred meters high. It doesn’t matter how high it is, but the mountain is very long and can completely block the view from Anyang City. Only when you reach the hillside can you see the scene ahead.
When several militiamen arrived at the top of the mountain, they were dumbfounded. They actually saw the densely packed snow in front of them. They were all people, or rather soldiers. Guys holding knives and guns lined up neatly in front of them.
Looking around, you can't see the end, and you don't know whether there are hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
Not only were there a large number of people, but what was even more terrifying was that all of them were legendary demons.
Although the demons have disappeared from the Orc Plains, the portraits and legends about the demons have not disappeared at all. The people of the Wind Empire also have statues of the demons. Several soldiers can recognize these figures at a glance.
This guy is from the demon clan!
An army of demons appeared unexpectedly. There were various types of soldiers in it, including even a Cyclops who was more than ten meters tall. It was simply too terrifying.
Several soldiers were so frightened that their legs were shaking. After looking at each other, they quickly ran back.
Two of them could no longer run, their legs were so frightened that they couldn't even run.
Before the others could run very far, a few sharp arrows shot over and killed them all.
In the demon army, a general waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The army of one million demons began to march towards Anyang City, and soon demon soldiers crossed the hill.
At Anyang City, the patrol soldiers on the city wall were the first to notice it. By the time they called the generals over, at least 20,000 to 30,000 demon troops had already crossed the hill and were about to reach the foot of Anyang City.
The officer was so frightened that he immediately ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, and ordered all soldiers to go up to the city wall immediately. In addition, an urgent messenger was sent to the imperial city for help.
Almost at the same time, Jinglong City also sent a messenger to the Imperial City asking for help.
A few hours later, it is already noon. At this moment, the Wind Emperor Yelu Batian is still drinking and having fun with a group of beauties in the Nuan Palace. Anyang City and Jinglong City have already fallen into the hands of the demon army.
In hand.
With its powerful force, the demon army conquered two important towns guarding the imperial city in just two hours.
The door of a house was closed tightly. The male owner locked the door, blocked it with a cupboard, and waited behind the door with a steel fork in his hand.
The hostess was hiding in the room holding her two children, shivering, frightened, and crying.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside, and the sound of kicking was heard at the door. The cook behind the door was kicked. The man quickly used his body to resist it, but he couldn't resist it at all.
The door was kicked in, and the cook and the host who were blocking the door were kicked away.
Before the male host could get up after falling, several burly demon soldiers rushed in, chopped off his head with a knife, and rushed into the inner room together.
A demon soldier pulled the hostess very roughly, snatched the two children from her arms and threw them aside, then threw her on the bed. Ignoring her pleas and cries, he just pounced on her...
Immediately afterwards, more demon soldiers threw themselves on the bed, fighting for it, making the heroine's life worse than death.
The two children were crying, and they were so scared that they just cried. Soon a demon soldier finished venting his anger, climbed down from the bed, grabbed the two children and took them away like a kitten or puppy.
"Let my child go, please let her go." Before the words could be spoken, the hostess's mouth had been sealed. Being used by a demon soldier made her sick, and her mouth was full of stench.
The mouth is sealed.
This family is just a microcosm of the cities of Anyang and Jinglong. After breaking through the city gates, the demon army entered the two important towns of Anyang and Jinglong. The burning, killing and looting began. Adult men and old people were all killed.
Women were ravaged wantonly, children were imprisoned like pigs and dogs, and the two towns became like a purgatory.
Only a small part of the militiamen and the people were lucky enough to escape, and fled to the imperial city of the Wind Empire.
The two important towns are not far from the imperial city, about a hundred or two hundred miles away. Refugees riding fast horses arrived at noon. Anyang City and Jinglong City were captured by the demon army and were being burned, killed and looted.
The news was brought to the imperial city.
After the people in the imperial city heard about it, most of them didn't believe it. How could there be so many demonic armies? It's absolutely impossible. How could it be possible? These guys really know how to joke.
They didn’t believe it at first, but when more and more refugees arrived and brought this news, the people in the imperial cities no longer believed it.
Soon the people of the Imperial City completely believed it, because the soldiers on the city wall could clearly see that there were densely packed armies from the southeast and southwest directions, marching towards the Imperial City in a mighty manner. Originally,
The snow-white earth has been dyed black and snowy, and visually there are at least a million people in both directions!
The news that an army of at least two million demons was about to attack the Imperial City of the Wind Empire frightened the right minister Huyan Xinglong, and he quickly went to the palace to report it to Yelu Batian who was still having fun.
After hearing the news, Yelu Batian couldn't care less about enjoying himself. After confirming that the news was true, he immediately ordered Liu Huyan Xinglong to sit in the imperial city to resist. He immediately took hundreds of concubines and treasures and had a team of elite soldiers to protect him.
He quickly left the imperial city and headed north, leaving behind the people of the imperial city, the defenders, and all the civil and military officials, and just ran away.
Right Prime Minister Huyan Xinglong was also drunk. His mood was definitely as if he had been spoiled by a dog. He scolded the eighteenth generation of Yelu Batian's ancestors in front of a group of subordinates.
Just when he was extremely unhappy and resentful of Yelu Batian, the demon army was approaching. Huyan Xinglong had no choice but to lead the 400,000 forbidden troops left by Yelu Batian to guard the imperial city and quickly recruit them.
