Chapter 294 Volunteers
Located at the border of the southern city wall...the military mages dispatched by the Northern Army used a temporary fortress built by earth mages to block the army of undead, but facing the vast undead ocean like a sea, it was only a matter of time before it fell.
Fortunately, the White Corpse King and the Agate Corpse King, two of the Eight Dead Kings, did not take action. In the end, the undead tribes led by them seemed to gather to the east...
"Lieutenant General Ai, more than half of our mages have run out of mana, and the replenishment resources are starting to run out. We can't hold out for much longer!" One of the military mages reported to Ai Jianghai.
Ai Jianghai received the intelligence in time and rushed to the ancient capital for rescue... They had been fighting from morning till now evening... They had used up their magic power for several rounds, but the number of undead had not decreased much.
It can be seen that the reality is more serious than they imagined... The sudden appearance of Sha Yuan and the Eight Dead Kings, leading a vast army of undead, is not something that the ancient capital can easily resist. More importantly, it is rumored that this may mean that the emperor from two thousand years ago is about to wake up!!!
As a space mage, Ai Jianghai also noticed that Sha Yuan appeared in the northern area and was slowly making space jumps towards the center of the inner city... If Sha Yuan eventually appeared directly in the inner city, then the defense set up by a golden barrier in the distance would be useless.
"Retreat... Let's retreat to the inner city temporarily!" Ai Jianghai issued an order
......
Walking into Anyuan Gate... the golden barrier must have dimmed a lot since the beginning, and now it is brown-gold...
"Strange, why are there ordinary people here?" Fang Gu frowned slightly and pointed at the crowd that was rushing in this direction.
It was a "large army" of mainly men that arrived at the North City under the leadership of military mages.
Their steps were slow and their expressions were wooden, like a group of death row prisoners walking up to the guillotine...
"Why did we call these ordinary people here? Do we want them to follow us out of the city?" Su Xiaoluo said in surprise.
"That's true..." the mysterious man with the gray and white cloth added.
"That's sending them to their deaths, right? With so many undead, it would be effortless to kill them all!" Zhang Xiaohou was immediately alarmed.
"They will leave the city through a small gate first to attract the attention of the undead. Then the magicians will lead you out through the north gate and directly reach the Shayuan!" added the mysterious man with the gray and white cloth.
"Oh my God, you are just feeding them to the undead. How can you do such a heartless thing? What's the difference between this and the Black Church?!" Su Xiaoluo screamed
"We didn't issue any orders, nor did we force them to join the army. They volunteered..." Yao Ting, the military commander, came over and added.
"Voluntary? Are they willing to die?" Zhou Min said
"We announce that this city will be destroyed before dawn. We mages will fight to the death. We also hope that there will be volunteers to use their bodies to attract the attention of the undead army so that you can successfully enter the Abyss... Even though they will be eaten beyond recognition by the undead, this will also happen to their relatives and children, so some people will choose to be the undead bait, and the number of people will be even more than we expected..." Military Commander Yao Ting's face was extremely cold.
If mages can die in battle, then ordinary people will die as well. Yao Ting admits that this plan is inhumane. There is actually no other choice for the so-called voluntary participation. This is the only way to escape from the evil abyss...
"I just hope you can understand that this road is built with human lives. You need to be not only fearless and brave enough to not fear death, but also have the true awareness of shouldering the responsibility of a city of millions of people. Sacrifice is not necessarily great and brave. Death may be a kind of relief. Only living, enduring, and doing everything you can to move forward can make us admire and appreciate you!" said Yao Tingjunsi in a powerful voice.
In this desperate catastrophe, the only relief is death. Only those who dare to face despair and turn the impossible into possible are the real "brave" ones!
Unable to even die, Mo Fan finally realized how huge the burden of carrying the fate of the Hundred Thousand People City was...
……
There is a small door near the east side of the north gate...Those "volunteers" formed a long crowd and gathered at the exit of the small door.
At the north city gate, you can see the small door opened... A super-class wizard with purple lightning flashing on his body was the first to rush out of the Golden Glory Barrier and use the power of thunder to sweep away the dense black army of undead outside the small door and create an open space!
Then the military magicians in military uniforms rushed out. They kept casting magic at the army of undead. The magic light pushed away a large part of the undead group and barely shone a little in the darkness...
Then the volunteers rushed out of the safety barrier, and they arrived at the newly cleared location as bait...
The breath of the living suddenly made the ocean of the undead boil. One could even see the black undead rushing towards those "volunteers" like a tide!
The next scene was a horrific bloody scene of blood and flesh scattered everywhere... The undead slaughtered the volunteers on one side, while the military magicians destroyed them on the other side...
This bloody scene made Su Xiaoluo's face pale. She forced herself to see clearly and became more determined to jump into the abyss. She needed to understand that she was responsible for those people's lives!
Even though Mo Fan considered himself a heartless person, he felt like he was about to stop breathing when he saw these people being torn into pieces just to clear the way as bait...
"All members of the Shayuan team, get ready!" Han Ji's voice echoed throughout the tower.
On the tower, there were groups of mages, hunters, students, military mages, guard mages, beginner, intermediate, advanced, super-level mages, lightning, water, fire, wind, light, earth...
"Vanguard... Kill!" Han Ji shouted again
Four super-class mages lined up on the edge of the city wall... Brilliant magic light appeared on their bodies, and magic wings of different colors also appeared behind the four people at the same time...
