833: The barbarian gods arrived, and a young boy died.
Outside Beiliang City.
Three miles away.
A hundred thousand Barbarian God Clan army attacked, a dense mass that created a suffocating atmosphere.
They were burly, with fierce eyes, like savage beasts.
Their three-meter-tall bodies exuded immense pressure, each harboring powerful strength within.
The Barbarian God Clan were the rulers of Manzhou, with numerous clansmen and countless strong individuals; they revered the Man Shen, and enjoyed invasion and slaughter.
"Today, we will slaughter Beiliang City," a Barbarian God Clan general, clad in black armor and standing on the back of a giant elephant, sneered.
"Slaughter Beiliang City!"
"Slaughter Beiliang City!"
"Slaughter Beiliang City!"
The hundred thousand Barbarian God Clan army shouted in unison, their loud voices shattering ice and snow, full of imposing power.
On Beiliang City's wall.
Some Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry were already prepared, holding bows and arrows, their eyes fierce, ready to shoot at any moment.
And in the City, there were another hundred thousand Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry arrayed, with some commoners rushing out, weapons in hand, intending to defend Beiliang City.
On a normal night, commoners would not easily show themselves.
But now that the horn had sounded, they naturally would not sleep peacefully; everyone was a soldier, ready to fight against a powerful enemy, which was the norm!
Every time the Barbarian God Clan attacked, many Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry and commoners in the City would die or be injured.
Chu Jianshi held her long sword, standing on the City wall, her eyes coldly fixed on the Barbarian God Clan outside the City, and she said, "Are all the soldiers ready?"
At this moment, her heart was actually filled with a hint of sorrow.
Beiliang City was the Northern Border City of the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty, and also one of the most crucial cities, a massive barrier.
Other similar cities were protected by grand formations and Restriction set up by powerful individuals, making it difficult for foreign tribes to invade.
But Beiliang City was different; its current grand formations and Restriction were extremely ordinary, completely unable to stop the Barbarian God Clan.
And all of this was just because of a Little Girl!
Those few high-ranking individuals in the City hoped that the Barbarian God Clan would break in, to help that Little Girl advance further... Perhaps in the eyes of those people, the destruction of the entire Beiliang City was irrelevant, as long as it allowed that Little Girl to grow, everything would be worth it.
But she had guarded Beiliang City for over ten years, developing feelings for its commoners and soldiers, so how could she remain indifferent?
She said that after tonight, everything would end.
Because she understood that after tonight, that Little Girl would be taken away, and Beiliang City would be reinforced with powerful formations and Restriction again, but at the cost of many lives, and the death of a young man!
"Ready!"
The soldiers spoke with solemn expressions; they had experienced several battles with the Barbarian God Clan and were long accustomed to it.
Chu Jianshi looked at Uncle Wu beside her and transmitted, "You now have a mission: to protect Cui Xian."
Uncle Wu's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "City Lord, you..."
Chu Jianshi tightened her grip on her long sword and sternly said, "Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry, heed my command! Follow me out of the City to kill the enemy! If Beiliang City is destroyed tonight, it will surely be I, Chu Jianshi, who dies first, and the Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry who are annihilated first."
After speaking, she stepped out of the City, her long sword unsheathed, and plunged into the Barbarian God Clan army.
The City had no Restriction and could not withstand the enemy's attack; only by taking the initiative might there still be some chance.
Boom!
The City gate instantly opened.
"Kill!"
A hundred thousand Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry suddenly charged out of Beiliang City... West of the City.
In the humble alley.
Inside the house.
Cui Xian held a woodcutting knife and gently patted Cui Tao's shoulder: "Sister, rest well tonight."
Cui Tao's eyes reddened: "Brother, don't go out, the Barbarian God Clan are very brutal."
Cui Xian said dotingly, "Protecting Beiliang City is not just Uncle Wu's business; it's the business of every commoner in Beiliang City. Brother doesn't have much ability, but I will definitely protect our little house."
With that, he took the woodcutting knife, entered the house, and closed the door.
Cui Xian came outside the courtyard.
Holding the woodcutting knife, he stood motionless; if the Barbarian God Clan really broke in, he would definitely protect his sister!
Outside the City.
The battle began, blood splattering, staining the white snow on the ground.
Inside Tingxue Inn.
Xie Weilou was drinking wine, having detected the situation outside the City.
"..."
The four old men exchanged glances and instantly vanished from the pavilion; tonight's matter must proceed smoothly, and they must take Cui Tao away.
Wen Jianting looked at Mei Nonghan: "We've been here for over ten years; our mission is over, and it's time to return to Eastern Wilderness City."
Mei Nonghan hesitated: "Chu Jianshi and the Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry are still fighting the enemy..."
"It's of little significance!"
Wen Jianting shook his head and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Xie Weilou glanced at the two, and a force instantly sealed off this area.
Wen Jianting and Mei Nonghan were immediately restrained; they were startled and immediately said, "What do you want to do?"
Xie Weilou's figure moved, appearing beside Wen Jianting; he directly pressed down on the other's head, probing his memories.
Tonight clearly held a good show, and he naturally couldn't know nothing.
A few breaths later.
Xie Weilou obtained some information; he released his hand and sneered, "A group of people scheming against a child is truly shameless."
No wonder he saw that Cui Xian's life was short; in the schemes of others, a certain death situation, how could he live?
"You..."
Wen Jianting knew he had been soul-searched; his face was extremely grim.
Xie Weilou returned to his seat and uttered a single word indifferently: "Scram!"
Then he continued drinking.
From Wen Jianting's memories, he did learn the identities of the four old men.
They were an elder from Zhongzhou Academy, the Grand Elder of Tianji Pavilion, a person from the Scarlet King's Estate, and a person from the Marquis of Eight Desolations' Estate.
Among them, the Scarlet King's Estate and the Marquis of Eight Desolations' Estate both represented the Eastern Wilderness Imperial Family!
No wonder when he entered the City, he found that the formations and Restriction on the City were extremely ordinary.
The Eastern Wasteland Dynasty was one of the super forces in the Eastern Wilderness; it was said that every inch of land was contested, and border cities usually had extraordinary grand formations for protection.
But Beiliang City lacked powerful formation protection, which was clearly done intentionally by someone.
A scheme spanning over ten years, just for tonight, to allow the Barbarian God Clan to successfully break in... "Let's go!"
Wen Jianting's face was extremely grim, and he quickly left with Mei Nonghan.
Their mission was over; with the arrival of the four Venerables, the rest of the matters would be handled by those Venerables themselves.
"Heh! A bunch of old fogeys."
Xie Weilou's face was full of disdain.
He had a good impression of the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty after meeting the Marquis of Eight Desolations earlier.
But now that he knew some things, he suddenly felt a strange aversion to this Eastern Wasteland Dynasty.
In a flash.
Half an hour passed.
The Snow Dragon Iron Cavalry suffered heavy casualties; Chu Jianshi was impaled on the City wall by a Barbarian God Clan expert carrying four long spears, her blood staining the wall.
"Dao Seeking Realm..."
A hint of sadness appeared in Chu Jianshi's eyes.
The Barbarian God Clan had actually sent a Dao Seeking Realm expert this time; all of this must have been part of those few people's arrangements!
Boom!
That Barbarian God Clan expert ignored Chu Jianshi, his figure moving, and he directly charged into the City.
He had an agreement with the people of the Eastern Wilderness, so he would not kill this woman.
However, tonight, he had to kill one person...
