BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1579: Protect Till Death!
This city was so quiet as if nobody lived inside. There were occasionally patrol guards passing by, but it was clear that the security was not as tight as before.
Those who stayed to guard the city were some New Moon Land Holy Guards. The soul pets who were able to fight had mostly joined the war. Most of the people in the city were children, women, elderlies and those who had not taken the path of cultivation.
The Holy Guard Chief who guarded the city was a wanderer soul pet trainer from another border —— Yi Wu. Yi Wu flew above Wanxiang City’s sky with utmost caution.
In the sky, a group of Immortal Ming Bird flew towards Wanxiang City from southeast.
Immortal Ming Birds were pure white. They looked like a cluster of clouds approaching. However, when this scouting Immortal Ming Bird team flew closer, Yi Wu immediately noticed bloodstain on their bodies!
It was blood!
The scouting Immortal Ming Bird team in the southeast direction returned with injuries. That meant there were enemies in the sky of that direction!
“All Holy Guards assemble!”
“City guards on alert!”
Yi Wu issued the orders before that Immortal Ming Bird team arrived!
Within Wanxiang City, over two hundred Holy Guards immediately took off from the ground and flew towards Holy Guard Chief Yi Wu.
Meanwhile, on some important main roads in the city,,teams after teams of silver city guard army riding on Lin Yin Beasts turned into streams of silver river, rapidly gathering towards Yi Wu’s location.
Yi Wu rode on his Thousand Wave Beast and flew towards the city’s southeastern city wall.
“Holy Guard Chief, enemy attack! They came from the east of Southern Forbidden Region, they are very fast!” reported Immortal Ming Bird team’s captain.
“Bring your team to receive treatment, leave the rest to us,” Yi Wu took a glance at this Immortal Ming Bird team.
Every team member was wounded. This scouting team should have fifty people, but only seven returned. The rest......
“The enemy number is vast, we must immediately send a distress signal towards Heavenly Mountain!” said that captain anxiously.
Yi Wu frowned and immediately ordered his subordinate to go to New Moon Palace and send the distress signal.
Yi Wu brought the two hundred plus Holy Guards to the city wall.
Normally, there would be 10,000 elite royal army defending the city. Right now, there were only around 1,000 left on the city wall. They really suffered a heavy loss in this war.
The city guards spread evenly on the thick city wall. The Holy Stem Flower left behind squeezed out from the soil under the city wall. Their flower vines weaved into a flower vine defense structure along the city wall.
Over 1,000 elemental soul pet trainers lined up neatly on the wide city wall.
They were looking towards the southeastern direction. At the horizon, a group of black dots gradually appeared.
Soon, the black dots increased rapidly, like a cluster of black clouds flying rapidly towards the city.
Next, a yellow dust cloud swept up from the ground. A large army could vaguely be seen within the dust cloud, stomping on the fragile earth and charging towards Wanxiang City!
Enemy attack!
A large wave of enemy attack!
Holy Guard Chief Yi Wu and all the city guards were dumbfounded. How did such a large army quietly enter New Moon Land? Where did they come from?
“It’s Ning Family Dynasty! They came from Southern Forbidden Region!” That scouting captain did not return for treatment and went to the city wall instead.
“Southern Forbidden Region? Isn’t there a Nightmare Dynasty habitating Southern Forbidden Region? How are they able to safely cross the Nightmare territory? That’s supposed to be a part of the Sequence Lands!” said Holy Guard Chief Yi Wu.
As they talked, a group of soul pet trainers riding on Sky Butterflies flew towards them from the city center.
This team of soul pet trainers were all females. The person leading them was Xiang Rong City’s City Lord Xia Zhixian. New Moon Palace’s head manager Shen Mo also came.
Shen Mo and Xia Zhixian received the distress signal simultaneously and rushed to the city wall right away.
When they saw an army large enough to destroy a city marching towards them, their expressions also changed.
Ning Family Dynasty!
Ning Family Dynasty’s army had never shown up. Originally, Xia Zhixian thought Yu Suo interfered King Ning to some extent and allowed King Ning to successfully suppress those greedy Ning Family clans.
To think that Ning Family Dynasty still deployed an army and even crossed over Southern Forbidden Region, marching towards Wanxiang City when the defense was the weakest!
“There are over 2,000 Dominators, 40,000 Emperors...... They belong to Ning Family Dynasty’s Ning Zhuang clan. The leader is Ning Zhuang himself and the strongest Ning Tainyou in his clan. Ning Tianyou is controlling the Tianyou clan which is opposing King Ning. Ning Zhuang clan was absorbed into his clan.” reported that scouting captain.
This scouting captain came from Wupan Continent. He was familiar with Wupan Continent’s situations.
“Leader? This Ning Tianyou is leader rank??” Shen Mo was shocked.
Leader rank. Leaving aside the approaching army, even if Ning Tianyou flew towards them alone, nobody could stop his steps.
“How much fighting strength do we have?” Xia Zhixian was calmer and asked Shen Mo.
“Gathering the entire city’s fighting strength, we have 500 Dominators, 9,000 Emperors, 10,000 Monarchs, but......” said Shen Mo.
In a war at such level, Monarchs were really weak. 10,000 Monarchs might vaporize in an instant. Making them go to the battlefield was useless sacrifice......
“Wanxiang City still have 10,000 Flower Demons. We will defend the city until Chu Mu and the others return!” said Xia Zhixian in a serious tone.
Shen Mo gritted his teeth. Successfully defending the city was almost impossible. What they could do was to do their best to buy time!
“Holy Guards listen up!” said Yi Wu coldly as he stared at the enemies in the distance.
The 200 Holy Guards yelled, “Protect till death!”
The city guards heard Holy Guards’ yell and looked at the enemies which were several times their number......
City guards never participated in the front line, but that did not mean they were waived of sacrificing.
Front line could lose, that was because the front line armies still have this Wanxiang City to retreat to. However, city guards were not allowed to lose. Because, behind them was New Moon Land’s foundation!
The well-trained and iron-willed Holy Guards could yell out such resolution without any hesitation. Would city guards be the ones to face the enemies in fear??
They were not as strong as Holy Guards, but when facing the same deadly situation, were they going to lose to the Holy Guards even in courage?
A certain city guard captain shouted ‘Protect till death’, and all armies gathered on the city wall also began shouting ‘Protect till death’!
“Protect till death!”
“Protect till death!”
The determined shouts transmitted over the entire city. Right now, the entire Wanxiang City was in silence, only this vow echoed in the air.
New Moon Palace.
In an elegant yard, a refined lady sat on a swing weaved by flower vines.
She raised her head, the voices of Holy Guards and city guards entered her ears.
Protect till death......
Is this city going to perish??
Are we really unable to stop the rumbling killing intent coming from the horizon?
If we can’t stop it...... how many more people will die?
Too many people have died in this war, there can’t be anymore deaths.
Soul Palace inner palace, Princess Wan Ning anxiously ran towards Chu Mu’s yard.
There was a team of silver-armored Holy Guards following behind her. These Holy Guards were left by New Moon Palace to protect those important members in New Moon Palace. They did not have to participate in the war, they only had to die before these members were abducted or killed.
“Maner, quick, leave with me,” Princess Wan Ning saw Ning Maner still sitting on the swing and hurriedly pulled her up.
“To where?” Ning Maner looked at Princess Wan Ning.
“Hide!” said Princess Wan Ning.
Princess Wan Ning knew that all the Holy Guards and city guards would sacrifice themselves to protect this city.
However, that also meant the enemies would step over their corpses and enter this city any moment. By then, lives were as cheap as grass.
“Where can we hide?” said Ning Maner gloomily.
Princess Wan Ningn was startled and looked at Ning Maner in a daze.
Yeah, where can we hide?
This is Wanxiang City. If even Wanxiang City cannot ensure the safety of everyone, where else can they hide from the disaster of this war......
“Don’t worry, our armies have received the signal. They will return soon. We just have to endure until they return......” said Princess Wan Ning.
They would rather die than to be captured.
Once they were captured, the enemies who occupied the city would gain another bargain chip to negotiate with New Moon Land’s army.
Ning Maner shook her head. She took a glance at the cluster of shadow silently following behind her and spoke, “Dark Emperor, take me outside of the city.”
“Maner, what are you saying?” asked Princess Wan Ning confusedly.
By then, the cluster of shadow behind Ning Maner slowly stood up and wrapped up Ning Maner’s tender body......
Ning Maner dove into the shadow. Before Princess Wan Ning could react, that cluster of shadow dashed away along the surface. Princess Wan Ning could only roughly see that cluster of shadow heading towards the southeast!
Ning Maner knew that Ning Family Dynasty attacked New Moon Land because she was in New Moon Land.
The leader was Ning Tianyou. She already sensed the arrival of this grandfather who was related to her by blood.
She only had to hand over her freedom again to protect this city. She could not rely on anyone to protect her now, she could not let this city be destroyed by Ning Family army because of her......
