Tianlong City
The so-called Tianlong City is the place where the Dragon Clan's capital, Dragon City, meets the outside world. It is called Tianlong City and undertakes functions that Dragon City does not have but is necessary for.
After the fall of Dragon City, the last stronghold of the Dragon Clan in Tianlong City was plunged into a crisis.
After learning that the Dragon Clan was doomed, Wei Xiu, the city lord of Tianlong City, sighed deeply, prostrated himself on the ground, and bowed in worship to the east.
After he stood up, looking at the densely packed army below like a surging tide, his expression was unusually firm. He sneered, drew his sword and roared, "Defend the Dragon Clan, defend the Great Thousand World! Brothers, we must fight to the death to defend Tianlong City and leave behind starlight for the continuation of our Dragon Clan!"
With Wei Xiu's roar, countless soldiers on the city wall roared back, bursting forth with fierce fighting spirit. Almost everyone was instantly ignited like a raging fire, displaying a majestic aura like true dragons.
Seeing this, Wei Xiu nodded in satisfaction, then took a deep breath with a solemn expression, drew his sword, and revealed its sharp edge.
The next moment, a rain of swords swept out.
...
After about a quarter of an hour, the army finally paused a little, and its offensive was not as rapid as before.
This gave Wei Xiu a brief respite, but the pressure on him only intensified.
What is obvious is that this long-awaited peace will soon be followed by an even more turbulent offensive; the saying "the storm is brewing" perfectly describes this situation.
Wei Xiu let out a long sigh. At this moment, several people suddenly appeared beside him, namely the Wentianlou group led by Zhou Mu.
All of them were covered in blood, clearly indicating that they had just gone through an extremely difficult battle, and even the surrounding atmosphere was momentarily disordered.
"Thank you all for your great help. Otherwise, Tianlong City would probably have fallen just now," Wei Xiu said.
These words came from the bottom of their hearts. After all, if it weren't for the strong support of Zhou Mu and the others, it would have been really difficult. Wave after wave of attacks, like a tidal wave, were almost killing them.
Fortunately, Hei Bo and Wang Xu were powerful figures at the Spirit Emperor level, so dealing with these extraterrestrial demons was as easy as eating and drinking.
Zhou Mu grinned and said, "It's alright, it's alright. We're all colleagues in this vast world, it's only right that we help each other."
Wang Xu and Hei Bo exchanged a glance, both seeing a deep sense of solemnity in each other's eyes.
Clearly, everyone knew in their hearts that after this period of calm, an even more cruel darkness awaited them.
Now that there are no more reinforcements from the Nine Provinces, they have no choice but to rely on them.
Inside the palace.
Wei Xiu could not hide his fatigue, but he still forced himself to stand up, raised his wine glass to Zhou Mu and Lu Shan's group, and forced a smile, "Gentlemen, I will drink this cup of wine first."
Then, he drank it all in one gulp. Immediately afterwards, he showed the empty glass, a smile on his face, and then seemed to let out a long sigh before slamming down into the armchair.
"After all these years, I can finally repay the kindness the dragons have shown me."
At this point, a resolute look flashed in his eyes. Then he smiled helplessly and looked at the group led by Wang Xu, saying, "Gentlemen, you should make plans as soon as possible. The fall of Tianlong City is inevitable. Let's not sacrifice ourselves in vain."
"Every inch of land must be fought for!"
At this moment, Lu Shan, unusually, showed a bit of courage. He suddenly stood up, then shouted loudly, and then said angrily, "I don't believe that justice can't defeat darkness. Is there still such a law in broad daylight?"
“You’re naive; children see the world in black and white.” Wei Xiu shook his head with a smile.
At this moment, Zhou Mu spoke up: "Actually, you don't need to be so pessimistic. When other places are free to provide assistance, they will come to our aid. There shouldn't be any major problems."
These words only served to comfort him and did not achieve any real effect. Faced with this kind offer, Wei Xiu could only force a smile.
After several days of intense fighting, he was exhausted. Now, after barely managing to finish, he prepared to leave. Wang Xu hurriedly followed and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, Daqian Pavilion will take care of everything."
Wei Xiu nodded, but didn't say anything more.
After Wei Xiu left, the banquet gradually came to an end.
at the same time
Under the cover of darkness, Tianlong City was especially quiet. In the dead of night, all was silent, as if everything had fallen into a deep sleep. Not to mention a single person, not even a small spirit beast could be seen.
In the pitch-black night, the soldiers guarding the city patrolled as usual.
Although it was a critical period of the great battle, they still had to rest. So, after leaving one team behind, the rest of them went to rest. They all knew that the next battle would be extremely brutal, so they had to make sure they were well-rested.
Outside the city gate, a shield integrating offense and defense was quietly suspended in mid-air, like an inverted tortoise shell, enveloping the vast Tianlong City.
All the ordinary people in the city have been relocated. After all, to the dragon race, these people are their subjects and the flames that will revive the dragon race in the future, so they must be cherished.
At this time, the 100,000-strong garrison of Tianlong City remained inside the city.
The original number was said to be 100,000, but after these wars, it was reduced to only 20,000 or 30,000, a truly devastating loss.
Even so, they had no choice but to do so. If Tianlong City, as the last town of the dragon race, fell into the hands of the extraterrestrial demons, it would mean that the entire dragon territory had fallen. In a sense, this would be a disgrace to the dragon race.
But as long as the last place still has a breath left, it is not a complete fall of the territory. It can be considered as a boost to morale and a stirring of the heart.
"Zhang Long...where are you going, kid?"
In the patrol team, the captain noticed a young man walking forward silently with his head down and his head covered, which seemed a bit unusual. He immediately called out to the man.
Zhang Long quickly looked up, a fleeting look of panic on his face, but he quickly calmed down, chuckled to himself, and looked at the captain: "Captain, my stomach is a little upset, I need to find a place to use the restroom..."
"Go quickly and come back quickly..."
The captain clearly knew Zhang Long's personality very well, so he didn't think much of it and waved his hand with some disgust. But then, when he looked at Zhang Long's back, he felt that something was wrong.
The more he looked, the stronger the strange feeling in his heart became.
Immediately, he roared, "What are you carrying in your arms?!"
