Chapter 579 Faith
Inner city.
Wangque Tower.
When the flare sounded, the inner city shook and the streets and alleys were filled with deafening noise.
At that time, the old man Du was hiding quietly in the storeroom in the backyard of Wangque Tower, searching through boxes and cabinets for treasure.
Hearing the noise, the old man struggled to poke his head out from among the packages and wooden boxes, rubbing his ears that were stung by the wailing. "Hey, mother, what's going on? What big thing happened?"
Just as he finished speaking, the door of the warehouse was kicked open, and a long arm reached out and pulled the old man out from the mess. "Stop playing, the enemy is coming."
The old man looked up at the newcomer in shock, "How did you know Grandpa was here?"
Bai Xiaofeng sneered disdainfully, "You've been fumbling around here for half an hour. Do you really think no one knows? I'm just too lazy to bother with you."
"Grandpa has been struggling for so long but still hasn't found anything good. Your Wangque Tower doesn't live up to its name. It's so damn poor!"
Bai Xiaofeng put the old man in front of him and kicked him on the butt. "Don't come here again if you think you're poor! I still have to clean up your mess!"
"Ouch! Why are you so angry over a joke?" The old man staggered to his feet, rubbing his butt with a playful smile, "Clean up this place and put some goodies in it. Come back when Grandpa is done with his work! Where are Tianbao and the Bai family kid?"
"They're already heading towards the Linhai entrance. Nansang launched a surprise attack from the East China Sea. This time, all they have are divine soldiers. They must be planning a desperate battle."
"What Grandpa fears least is divine soldiers! Let's go and meet up with Tianbao and the others!"
Bai Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, pulled the old man who was about to fly east back, and led him southeast. "Nan Sang has dispersed the divine soldiers and is rushing towards Fengyun City from three directions. According to the plan, the northeast will be handed over to Big Beard and Bai Kui, and we will guard the southeast."
The old man struggled desperately.
"No, let go of the Dogecoin! The old man is going to the east! Wangbai must be there... Grandpa won't go to the southeast with you to die, help!" There is no Wangbai in the southeast, and he is an old man who can't resist the divine weapon, fuck you!
…
The old residents of the inner city know very well what the red smoke flares from Wangque Tower represent.
Many years ago, pirates from the outer sea landed and attempted to break into Fengyun City. At that time, Wangque Tower fired several red smoke flares.
So when the people in the inner city saw the red smoke, they were immediately shocked.
In the South City Pork Shop, Zhao Lao Er, wielding a butcher knife, led his apprentices in a menacing march toward the city gate, shouting, "Those with weapons, grab them. Those without, clench your fists! This time, we're serious!"
At the rice and oil shop in North City, the old Bai family owner ordered his staff to close the shop. He carried stacks of weapons from the warehouse and walked onto the street, distributing them along the way. "Three entrances to Linhai! Fight if you can, run if you can't. Save your life first, and cheer for them! Everyone, attack!"
Street scoundrels, ruffians, and thugs gathered together and rushed in different directions, laughing loudly, "Run for your life! It doesn't matter if I lose my life! If the enemy dares to come, we will kill them! Don't be a coward!"
"Hahaha! Kill them! If anyone is lucky enough to survive, remember to tell your descendants my story. My name is Iron Fist Zhu San! I've been hanging around South Street for thirteen years and have a reputation for myself!"
"I'm a nobody, a street thug named Zhang Mazi!"
"Lame Meng Youwei! He was also famous in the martial arts world when he was young!"
"Lin Guang, the great bandit! He still has blood in his veins!"
Shouts filled with blood, passion and courage echoed throughout the inner city.
Even the eight or nine-year-old children who always roamed the alleys making trouble followed the adults, ready to kill the enemy. They picked up small stones and large stones along the way and kicked them into their arms, showing no fear at all.
In the outer city, knowing that there was an enemy attack and a battle was about to break out, the people panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down.
"The enemy must be coming for the princess! Quick, go to Tubei Village!"
"Protect Tubei Village for the princess!"
"After enjoying peace and stability for so many years, it's time to repay the princess. I'm not a coward!"
Everyone left their homes, grabbed hoes, targets, and fire sticks, and rushed to Tubei Village, blocking the area around the village and waiting for battle.
In less than half a day, thousands of farmers in coarse clothes gathered outside the village, their whole bodies bursting with courage.
When the enemy attacked, Princess Mingyue led her men to the front line to fight against the enemy. Her relatives lived in the village behind.
The princess has been protecting them.
They should and want to do something for the princess!
Just stay here and guard Tubei Village for the princess!
Soon, there was a commotion in the miasma forest.
Because there were too many people blocking this area, those who couldn't get in from the outside couldn't see what was happening inside. They could only hear someone in the innermost room shouting, "The Su family is coming out! And Mr. Huo, he's here too!"
The people's eyes suddenly lit up and they were extremely excited.
The Su family and Mr. Huo came out to fight alongside them!
They could have stayed safely behind the miasma forest, but they came out and lived and died with everyone!
This action alone is a great response and encouragement to the people!
The people who came out included Grandpa Su, Grandma Su, the couple Su Da and Su Er, Mr. and Mrs. Huo, and the entire Tubei Village villagers who came out with them.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su looked at the huge crowds of people surrounding the village, pursed their lips and smiled broadly.
The boys and girls at home wanted them to hide in the border town to avoid danger, but they did not leave.
If the land of exile fell, it must be that something happened to the children, and then no matter where they went, the result would be the same.
Rather than hiding away, they would rather stay here and share life and death with the children.
Madam Huo put her hands on her hips and looked around, the corners of her lips curled up. "Don't tell me, this scene is even more spectacular than the bandit mountain where I used to stay. The eyes of these guys are so bright that it's blinding."
Huo Ziheng put one hand behind his back and smiled softly, "In the hearts of the people in the outer city, Princess Mingyue and the Su family have become their faith. The Su family's coming out at this time is a sign to the people in the fiefdom that their faith has not abandoned them, proving that they have not followed the wrong person."
Faith and believers should never be a one-way journey.
From this day on, the Land of Exile will no longer be just a refuge in the hearts of the people.
But it is their real home, their common home.
Decades ago, Fengyun City was an abandoned city.
Later, as the number of people increased, it was never renovated.
Therefore, the city walls on the seaside of Fengyun City are in ruins and appear to be in danger of collapsing at any time.
There is a wall that may collapse at any time, but a row of people are standing on the top of the wall, not afraid of death at all.
East City Head.
A flag with a black background and a red border was placed on top, fluttering in the wind under the scorching sun at noon in July.
The collision of black and red colors exudes a sense of spookiness that makes people feel uneasy even in the daytime.
The young man in white was waving a folding fan, leaning against a flagpole, looking relaxed and unhurried. He didn't seem to be here to fight the enemy, but rather to sightsee.
Su Wu was very unhappy with the young man in white's comfortable attitude. He rolled his eyes and spat out two words, "Pretend!"
