At this time in Loulan City, a large number of wounded were being mobilized to Yongning Town.
The king looked at the huge enemy below the city and asked anxiously:
"Marbury, how is the transfer of the injured going?"
"Your Majesty, it is almost over. Your Majesty has treated the soldiers with such kindness that they are filled with gratitude."
"They are my Loulan citizens, and also Loulan soldiers. How could I watch them die? Besides, I have a feeling that our Loulan City won't be able to hold out for much longer. Look at the soldiers now. There are not many who can fight intact."
"Your Majesty, we still have tens of thousands of men capable of fighting. However, not many of our soldiers have been killed in battle. As long as the wounded recover, we can continue the battle."
"Time doesn't allow it. They are human beings too, fighting continuously in such a short period of time. Sigh!"
The king looked at the soldiers on the city wall. Although they were still full of fighting spirit, their tired bodies could not deceive anyone.
With each battle, the number of participants decreases, and the frequency of each person's participation increases.
By the last few times, there were almost no reserve troops.
They could only rely on the soldiers' crazy attacks to make up for the lack of numbers.
Wang Guo glanced at the city again and continued:
"How's the transfer of the rest of the people in the city going?"
"The transfer of important personnel has already begun yesterday, in accordance with the Lord's instructions. The transfer of non-essential personnel has also been arranged."
Upon hearing that his lord had made advance arrangements, the king gained a new understanding of Fengyun's predictions.
In fact, Fengyun also had a premonition during the continuous fighting in the past few days that there must be many countries coming this time.
It is impossible for them to defeat all the countries in the Western Regions in a short period of time.
Firstly, time does not allow it, and secondly, the physical strength of the men does not allow it.
He has also seized the main cities of eight countries in the past few days.
But it made him feel deeply powerless.
There are so many countries, it is impossible to defeat them all.
Let Marbury try to transfer important talents in the city.
When Fengyun found out that the cost of the transfer was only one copper coin per person, he realized that the teleportation to Yongning Town was not free, nor was the toll calculated based on the area.
Instead, the toll is calculated based on the distance.
The free transmission is limited to himself only.
Fengyun immediately had a bold idea.
Directly transfer away useful talents.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to transfer everyone, but the teleportation array has a limit on the number of people that can be transferred each time, and it seems that it’s too late.
Then we can only transfer as much as possible.
"Okay, let's try to delay the enemies below."
A glimmer of hope suddenly came to the king's mind, and he was determined to hold them back at all costs.
But Marbury's face was full of helplessness.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible. The soldiers are too tired."
"So what should we do? How long can the recovered arrows and rocks last?"
Facing the King's inquiry, Marbury made the most difficult decision and said through gritted teeth:
"If they attack with all their might, we'll be gone for half a day at most."
"Half a day? No, that's too short. I plan to move all the people in the city away and leave them an empty city."
But Marbury was really powerless and said:
"Your Majesty, I know you are kind and don't want the people to suffer, but we really can't do that right now. I don't know where our lord is. If he could be contained outside the city, then we might still have a chance."
But Marbury also knew that it was impossible. Now Fengyun is still looking for countries with insufficient military forces to continue robbing.
This was his weakest battle.
Faced with so many enemies, Fengyun could only choose to avoid their attack and exchange the city for money.
His choice may be wrong, but it is the least damaging outcome he can think of.
Wang Guo was not surprised to hear this. He just wanted to unleash the soldiers' last potential.
The answer he got was within his expectations, so he said firmly:
"In that case, let me go to the enemy camp and drag them down myself."
Marbury immediately grabbed the king and pleaded:
"Your Majesty, you cannot go. If anyone has to go, I will go. You are the ruler of a country, you absolutely cannot go."
"But if I don't go, how can I delay it? I can't let the princess go, can I?"
Of course Marbury couldn't let the princess go, so he immediately shouted
"Your Majesty, let me go. I think I can hold them back."
The king was a little unconvinced. His impression of Marbury was that he was a warrior and had no strategy at all.
"You? Can you do it?"
"I can do it, Your Majesty, please listen to me."
Marbury immediately whispered his plan in his ear.
Although the king had doubts, there was no time to consider it, so he agreed.
He took Marbury's hand and said solemnly: "You must protect yourself on this trip."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. If I succeed, I will take the opportunity to slip away."
Marbury is still very confident about his own safety.
The king was relieved now and said:
"Well, I'm sorry to have wronged you this time. I'll definitely prove it to you in the future."
"Your Majesty, for the sake of our Loulan, this little grievance is nothing. I will leave first."
"Well, go get ready."
"yes!"
…
After the two men finished their discussion, the army outside the city had already begun to gather and prepare to attack the city.
The king looked down anxiously, but was at a loss as to what to do.
Every time the enemy was about to attack, they would come forward and talk a lot of nonsense. He thought this time would be no exception, but the enemy didn't do so.
At this moment, the enemy's vanguard attack force has arrived with ladders.
Just then, the city gate opened.
Marbury rushed out of the door first, followed by a team of war horses, shouting:
"Stop right there, traitor!"
"Stop! Don't run!"
“…”
Marbury completely ignored the pursuers behind him and just ran towards the enemy's front.
"Look, someone is coming out of the city."
"Huh? Why do I look like I'm chasing the person in front?"
"Go and save him!" Duke Rank shouted excitedly.
He had a feeling that this person must have come to bring him good news.
The pursuers behind were getting closer and closer, but at this time the reinforcements also arrived.
But even so, they were still a step too late, and the people being chased were now in a tough battle.
However, the man seemed extremely brave and was not killed by them.
At this time, reinforcements arrived.
Seeing the reinforcements coming, the pursuers immediately fled in panic.
They easily rescued the man and brought him before Duke Ranke.
"Marbury? Why are you here?"
When he saw Duke Rank, Marbury was shocked at first and pretended to be seriously injured and weak.
"Marbury, how are you?"
Only then did Marbury reluctantly open his eyes.
