After this comparison, they realized how wise He Qingwei and Yan Yuchu's previous decision was, and how lucky they were to be able to follow Mu Hanyan.
"Do you still think it's unlucky to follow the young master? If you are willing, you can go over now." Mu Renda whispered to Mu Chengqi.
Mu Chengqi's face turned red with shame, and he just wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.
"You're scared now, right? I guess you haven't encountered many decent exotic beasts on your way here." Seeing their strange expressions, Tan Taixuan thought they had been safe and sound on the journey and hadn't even encountered any decent exotic beasts, so he said sarcastically.
But I felt a little depressed. Why were others so lucky and safe all the way, but I had only a few peaceful days on this journey? Could it be that I forgot to check the almanac before going out, so I chose such a thrilling road.
"Lord Tantai, we just left Beiguan Town a few hours ago and were attacked by strange beasts at night. There were also thousands of them. But do you know which one is the strongest among them?" He Qingzong is now in the same mind with Mu Hanyan. Seeing that Tantai Xuan repeatedly made sarcastic remarks and had no good face towards Mu Hanyan, he couldn't help but feel a sense of solidarity with the enemy and asked with a smile.
"What strange beast?" asked Tan Taixuan.
"Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephant." He Qingzong said proudly.
"What, Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephant, impossible!" After hearing his words, not only Tan Taixuan, but also the children of several major families such as the Changsun family and the Mo family showed doubts.
Having fought numerous battles with the aliens along the way, they naturally understood the advantages of defending a city. As long as the gates and walls remained intact, any enemy with even moderate strength could defeat a hundred. For the defenders, the most formidable enemy was an alien beast like the Scarlet Cloud Golden Armored Beast, endowed with divine power and capable of unleashing immense destructive power on a city. Unfortunately, its defenses were also exceptionally formidable, leaving the defenders completely defenseless against its destructive power.
Mu Hanyan and the others were able to escape unscathed after encountering the Scarlet Cloud Golden Armored Elephant. Not only did they not lose a single person, but they also looked completely unharmed. This is simply impossible.
"Why would I lie to you about this? Let me tell you, Young Master Mu not only forced back those strange beasts, but also..." Although the previous achievements had nothing to do with them, they were still Mu Hanyan's subordinates after all. Even if they had no credit, they had worked hard. He Qingzong was secretly proud of himself. Seeing that they didn't believe him, he continued.
Before he could finish his words, a desolate horn sound came along with the mountain breeze, and faintly there were bursts of shouting and killing sounds.
The sound should still be dozens of miles away. If it weren't for the mountain wind, even they probably wouldn't have been able to hear it.
Judging from the map, this place is just dozens of miles away from Luoan City. Obviously, a war is breaking out in Luoan City.
"Hurry, go to Luo'an City immediately." Mu Hanyan made a quick decision and said to He Qingzong and others. He Qingzong only said half of his words, inevitably feeling a little unfinished, but he still quickly reorganized the team and rushed to Luo'an City.
Tan Taixuan and others also set out in a hurry. The task of defending Luoan City was not only related to Tan Taixuan's status in the Holy Court, but also to the ranking of the major families. They did not dare to let Mu Hanyan seize the initiative.
Anyway, they didn't believe what He Zongqing said, so they didn't care much that he mentioned Mu Hanyan instead of themselves.
The last few dozen miles of the mountain road were even more rugged, but everyone ran as fast as they could, and before long, a towering city appeared in sight.
This is Luoan City, the throat fortress on the southwestern border of Anyun.
At this time, battle flags were flying and trumpets were blaring on the city walls. The strange beasts had already invaded the city. About two to three thousand soldiers were fighting a desperate battle with a similar number of strange beasts.
There were corpses everywhere under the city, some from strange beasts and some from humans. Even standing at the foot of the hill, Mu Hanyan could still smell the strong smell of blood in the air.
It seems that the war is nearing its end, and the horn just now is the horn of the final decisive battle.
In the open space in front of the city gate, the human soldiers were guarding the entrances to various streets, blocking the strange beasts that were invading the city and preventing them from invading the inner city even a single step.
However, although they are quite powerful and wear solid armor, compared with the strange beasts that are born with strong defense and vigorous vitality, such armor is obviously not enough.
Under the crazy attack of the strange beasts, human soldiers fell one after another, and the formation slowly retreated. It was estimated that they could not hold on for much longer.
Mu Hanyan didn't know the situation in the city, but judging from the corpses scattered all over the ground below the city, it was estimated that those who could fight had almost all died, and the remaining ones were probably the old, weak and sick. If this continued, Luoan City would probably be declared lost within half an hour.
"Kill!" Mu Hanyan took the lead and flew towards Luoan City. Hua Yue, Zhang Chihua and others followed her unwaveringly. He Qingzong and Yan Yi were now convinced of Mu Hanyan, and they led their children to follow her without hesitation.
Tan Taixuan and the young elites from the other five major families were also cheered up and set off at the same time.
Although the battle in the city was extremely brutal, they could also see that both the human defenders and the strange beasts were at the end of their strength. Although they had experienced a battle not long ago, they took the elixir in time and had almost recovered along the way. It was certainly not a problem for them to deal with these exhausted strange beasts. This was also a great opportunity for them to make achievements, and they could not let Mu Hanyan's team seize the initiative.
Luoan City has a total of four city gates, two of which were completely sealed as early as the beginning of the monster attack on the city, leaving only one facing the Longyan Mountains and one facing Anyun Kingdom.
Seeing the dust flying in the distance and a torrent coming rapidly, several wounded soldiers guarding the city gate were shocked at first. But when they saw that it was human swordsmen and not strange beasts, and that there were flags flying above their heads, they were ecstatic and quickly opened the city gate.
They also received news that the eight major families in the capital were sending people to help. They waited day and night, and finally the reinforcements arrived at the most dangerous moment.
Mu Hanyan and others didn't say much. As soon as they entered the city, they rushed straight to another city gate.
In the open space in front of another city gate, blood had already dyed the ground bright red.
The sounds of fierce collisions came one after another, like a violent storm. The defense of the monster was so strong that even the sword made of fine steel would have jagged scars after being chopped repeatedly. Then, it would break in the middle under a full-strength slash, scattering frost on the ground.
But no one retreated. Without their swords, they still had a pair of fists that could unleash their full power, and they could use their heads, their teeth, any part of their bodies to attack the enemy. With their lives, they composed the most heroic, yet most tragic, war song.
But the war was so cruel that even if they risked their lives, they still could not stop the strange beasts that were also in madness. One after another, solid figures fell down, and blood spread like a fountain.
The expressions of all the soldiers were still as firm, but there was a hint of despair in their eyes.
