Chapter 224: One Man, One Sword, Guarding a City
Qin Mo flew through the air, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
Wherever he went, waves of beasts were surging in. The source was not just the Hengduan Mountains. Monsters emerged from every named mountain, river and jungle in Shu.
It was like a riot.
It is obvious that this was an organized, premeditated and planned super operation.
Purpose,
Perhaps the war between the two races more than a hundred years ago will be repeated, and the spark of human race that has just been ignited will be extinguished in its infancy.
Qin Mo even thought that the sudden awakening of the beast tide might be related to players like them.
It is precisely because of the existence of players that the human tribes originally scattered across the country have entered the fast lane of development, and in just a few years they have moved from the tribal era to the city-state era.
Unexpectedly,
This actually led to such a horrific disaster.
Looking around, countless monsters emerged from all directions, gathering into wave after wave of beast tides, destroying the villages, towns, and cities encountered along the way.
Wherever I go,
Only ruins remained.
The homeland that the human race had spent ten years rebuilding was destroyed in an instant.
The descendants of the primitive people who had worked hard to reproduce, and the people who were successively brought in by players from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent and the Zhu Xian subcontinent, were all buried in the beast's belly in the blink of an eye.
Not even a bone was left.
All traces of human civilization were swept away like a paint brush.
There was nothing to see except the pitch-black and crimson screen.
Those players who once brought hope to the human race in the prehistoric continent, facing such a catastrophic disaster, all they could do was to escape to the safe zone within five meters around the teleportation array as quickly as possible.
If you don’t have time, you can only log off urgently in the wilderness.
They all ran away faster than rabbits...
Compared with this, the beast tide disaster that once occurred in the Zhu Xian subcontinent is nothing but a small witch calling a big witch.
Qin Mo flew even faster.
He is now very worried about the safety of Blackwater City and Black and White Mountain Villa.
Arriving at the edge of the Qinling Mountains, Qin Mo did not dare to return along the original route, but deliberately took a detour of more than a hundred miles to the north to avoid running into the Bull Demon King again, which would be like walking into a trap.
Even so,
As soon as Qin Mo entered Qinling Mountains, he was immediately surrounded by monsters.
Full of murderous intent.
In order to avoid being entangled by the beast tide, Qin Mo did not dare to fight, and directly summoned the Nine Heavens Mysterious Killing Tower, which was hanging above his head. Then, he merged his body and sword and bravely moved forward.
Any monster that blocks his way, or even the transformed monster that comes rushing over after hearing the news, no matter if they are in the Jindan stage, Yuanying stage, or even the Huashen stage.
They were all killed by Qin Mo's sword.
Fortunately, Qin Mo did not encounter any big monsters in the Nascent Soul stage along the way.
visible,
Even among the demon race, becoming a god is a hurdle. The number becomes obviously smaller if you go further.
After finally crossing the Qinling Mountains, Qin Mo appeared at the northern border of Heishui City. The scene before him was almost identical to what he had seen in Shu.
Beast Tide,
There were surging tides of beasts everywhere.
Over the past ten years, the border towns that Blackwater City had painstakingly built, as well as the villages and towns built with the border towns as nodes, were destroyed in an instant.
The crops in the farmland that had been reclaimed with great effort were completely destroyed.
Everything is desolate.
Qin Mo had a blank expression on his face as he hurried towards Blackwater City as fast as he could. Halfway there, he finally caught up with the beast tide and saw that it was destroying towns and villages.
Unlike other cities, Blackwater City started early and developed rapidly. Although it is called a city, its territory actually exceeds that of a county, so it has a certain depth.
When the beast tide hit, the people in the "inland" received the news in advance, dragged their families and fled hastily to Blackwater City, which was the last hope for the people.
Qin Mo didn't stop.
He simply used his supreme sword energy to kill as many monsters as possible to buy a glimmer of hope for the fleeing people.
If Qin Mo stayed, perhaps he could have rescued a group of people.
But he can't.
He must rush back to Blackwater City as quickly as possible to take charge of the situation there.
Faced with such an unprecedented catastrophe, the only countermeasure Qin Mo could think of was to use the teleportation array to transfer as many people as possible from Blackwater City to the Warring States subcontinent.
There is no other way.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Mo must rush back as soon as possible. Once Blackwater City falls, it will be too late...
For an individual, life is not a number, and there is no distinction between high and low.
However, as the Lord of Blackwater City, Qin Mo could only weigh the pros and cons with a heart of stone and could only find ways to save as many people as possible.
At this moment, there is no room for softness.
When Qin Mo rushed back to Blackwater City, Blackwater City was already in danger.
The surging tide of beasts not only blocked the fleeing people, but also surrounded the Black Water City so tightly that beasts inside and three layers of beasts outside, and it was dark and howling.
On top of the city wall,
The local garrison troops and border troops withdrawn from various places are cooperating with the monks to prevent the monsters from breaking into the city.
The main force is Lu Xueqi.
She was leading the indigenous monks trained in Blackwater City to defend the city as best as possible.
But this is destined to be in vain...
Qin Mo saw this and once again summoned the Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower, enlarged it, and hovered over Black Water City. It dropped golden rays of light and transformed into a huge golden shield that covered the entire city.
"City Lord, the City Lord is here!"
The people of Blackwater City, who had originally despaired, cried for joy.
In the ancestral temple,
A young wizard hugged the body of the great wizard Ji Ye and cried like a tearful man.
The bone jade staff fell helplessly to the side...
On top of the city wall,
Lu Xueqi was still as beautiful and unparalleled as ever. Judging from her cultivation level, she had already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage and became the pillar in defending Blackwater City.
If Lu Xueqi had not made a breakthrough at the critical moment, Blackwater City would have been breached by the beast tide long ago.
It's just this chance.
It's a bit bitter.
Qin Mo flew into the air, entered the city, and came to the square.
The square was already in chaos at this time, with players fleeing here.
There were also civilians in the city, and even soldiers who retreated in fear before fighting.
And everywhere in the city, despair is spreading like a plague, and people who have fallen into madness are doing crazy things.
He commits murder and arson and all kinds of evil.
The order that was established with great difficulty collapsed in an instant.
Seeing Qin Mo coming with a sword, the crowd became agitated and surrounded him.
"City Lord, please save us!"
"City Lord, what should we do?"
"City Lord, you are the one who brought us here from the Three Kingdoms world. You can't just abandon us."
Everyone was talking at once, their eyes full of hope.
Qin Mo pressed his hands together and said in a deep voice: "The people of Blackwater City, the officials of the City Lord's Mansion, the soldiers still fighting on the top of the city, the monks from the other courtyards and the ancestral temple, I am Qin Mo, the Lord of Blackwater City.
"Blackwater City is facing an unprecedented crisis. At this moment, we need to work together. Please trust me, listen to my orders, follow me, and I will take you away."
Qin Mo's voice was extremely penetrating, with a hint of gentleness in its majesty, and it spread to every corner of the city. No matter who it was or what they were doing, they subconsciously stopped what they were doing.
Listen carefully...
"City Lord, this is the City Lord's voice."
"The city lord said he would take us away?"
"Is there really hope?"
Whispers were heard from all over the city, slowly converging into a torrent.
"Citizens, please gather in the square in an orderly manner. Do not crowd, do not panic, and do not hurt each other. Soldiers who are still in the city, pick up the swords you dropped, gather together, and go to the square to maintain order. Officials, take up your courage and shoulder your responsibilities..."
It's amazing.
Qin Mo's words were not inflammatory in nature, nor did they have any skill. They were all very straightforward, but everyone followed his words subconsciously like a demon.
People began to leave their homes and gather on the streets.
The soldiers found the general, and the general found the soldiers, and like a stream, they quickly assembled into an army, some responsible for suppressing the bandits, and some going to the square to stand guard.
The officials also stepped forward and took the initiative to organize the evacuation of personnel.
The chaotic Blackwater City was becoming orderly at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a machine that was back on track and was running rumblingly.
Qin Mo opened the teleportation array permissions and set it for directional teleportation to the Kingdom of Yue.
Then, using the city lord's authority, all the gold coins in the Blackwater City treasury were redeemed as transmission fees to avoid the embarrassment of insufficient transmission fees.
The teleportation is very fast, and up to fifty people can be teleported in one batch.
However, the population of Blackwater City is too large, more than 400,000, and given the current situation, it will take at least a day.
Qin Mo sent away one group after another. Seeing that the order in the square had basically stabilized, he grabbed a clerk from the City Lord's Mansion beside him and said, "Go, find the acting city magistrate Zhang Liang."
"City, City Lord, the acting city commander has died in battle." The clerk said hesitantly.
“…”
Qin Mo was really stunned.
He never expected that the fourth disciple he had high hopes for would die like this before he had a chance to shine.
It's really fate that plays tricks on us.
Fortunately, Qin Mo was an extraordinary person. He quickly calmed himself down and handed over the matter of teleporting the square to the officials of the City Lord's Mansion and the generals in the army.
He couldn't stay in the square forever.
Although he was protected by the golden shield cast by the Jiu Tian Xuan Sha Tower, he might not be able to hold out for long against the surging tide of beasts. He had to kill as many monsters as possible.
Buy time for people to evacuate.
After everything was arranged, Qin Mo flew to the top of the city on his sword. Looking at the dark army of monsters outside the city, murderous intent was boiling in his eyes, and seven seven-cultivation swords were summoned at the same time.
"die!"
Under Qin Mo's control, the seven flying swords turned into seven extremely bright sword lights and rushed into the beast tide below. Wherever they passed , one monster after another fell down.
Not a single monster could be defeated by his sword.
Qin Mo was like a killing machine, exerting the killing power of a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage to the extreme. The monsters outside the city fell down in large numbers and were shaved off layer by layer.
soon,
Within fifty meters of the city wall, there was not a single monster standing.
There were densely packed corpses of monsters.
The surging tide of beasts suddenly became silent, as if an invisible line was drawn at fifty meters.
Anyone who crosses over will die!
Qin Mo defended the city with just one man and one sword.
