Su Tianchen had a serious expression and spoke without any beating around the bush.
There won't be any speeches.
He simply said, "Many people in the city are still evacuating, so everyone, I hope you can hold on for two days. I won't waste any more time. Those who escape will be punished by military law. Hold on, and I will reward you based on your merits in two days!"
He spoke very concisely.
The garrison locations were then turned into cards and provided to the people below for selection.
Luo Sheng glanced at the card masters around him in the crowd. Their levels were basically between Silver Five and Silver One, and none of them were lower than Bronze level.
It is estimated that bronze-level card masters consume about the same amount.
Now it’s the Silver level’s turn.
War is inherently a ruthless thing.
Just like in World War II, the young people went first, then the middle-aged and elderly, and finally the women. Of course, children were also inevitably reduced to war machines.
It's the same in this world.
At least Luo Sheng discovered that there were fewer bronze-level card masters.
Then he saw many card masters fighting for garrison locations.
The card division who had fought to get the garrison behind Pingcheng was smiling happily, while the card division stationed at the front line was gloomy and looked as if they had lost their parents.
Luo Sheng held Xu Yourong's hand.
"Just follow me."
"Um."
Xu Yourong nodded slightly.
Luo Sheng knew that she was in great danger now.
The biggest threat does not come from the creatures in the polluted land, but from the Xu family and the evil card masters.
Luo Sheng was not in a hurry to compete with Master Ka for a garrison position, but waited outside the crowd. After a while, Luo Sheng finally got a position.
Probably at the forefront.
Guarding the city gate.
Although Pingcheng is a modern city, city walls were built to adapt to the changes in the world.
Prevent attacks from invasive organisms.
Now, guarding the city gate is the most difficult task, after all, most of the invading creatures pass through there.
As for other garrisons, most of them are located on the streets, forming a protection network to allow civilians to quickly transfer to the XC area.
at this time.
Many card masters saw the frontline stronghold in Luosheng Soy Sauce.
There was a lot of discussion.
"His luck is too bad. He was directly picked to be at the city gate. I don't think he can hold on for half a day."
"Maybe God is fair. He gave him a beautiful girl and asked him to choose the most dangerous place."
"I guess Xu Yourong will follow him. What a pity."
"Why don't you go pick up a body? Maybe it's still warm."
"I don't want to. Going there is basically a death sentence."
In the eyes of other card masters, this is simply a position for suicide.
Because the number of invasive creatures at the city gate is extremely large, basically all those that invade the city will pass through there.
This means that the card master stationed at the city gate is fighting against thousands of troops.
However, Luo Sheng didn't care.
If you can't win, you can escape.
What's more, Luo Sheng now possesses a huge reserve of mental power, except that it is consumed more during the battle with [Raphne].
For others like Bai Moxue or Alice, the mental power consumption was equivalent to that of bronze cards, which hardly consumed much of his mental power.
Stick to it for a few weeks and it won't be a problem at all.
Moreover, Luo Sheng only needs to summon Anastasia to solve all problems.
Of course, if you want to be more conservative, you can just summon the [Metal Flower Tree], which is more powerful and enough to devour a large number of invading enemies.
At this time, Su Tianchen patted his shoulder and said, "You must survive. Your contribution will earn you a huge reward in the Card Alliance."
Obviously, he felt sorry that Luo Sheng would be drawn to the front line.
After all, this is a random grab.
Luo Sheng didn't care, it was his own choice.
Luo Sheng turned around and asked, "Will someone clean them up after two days?"
"Well, hold on for another two days and reinforcements will arrive. I heard there is a powerful envoy. For him, these are not a problem."
Su Tianchen answered simply.
Then go to other locations.
Generally, gold-level card masters guard important nodes and key positions.
For example, important locations such as power plants, reservoirs, and resource warehouses can bring a city to a standstill.
As for the front line, it is under the charge of Silver Card Masters.
Luo Sheng took Xu Yourong to the front line.
Only after he was gone.
Several card masters suddenly laughed sinisterly and said, "It seems that he is really going to die."
"However, just in case, let's tell Butler Xu the news."
"Um."
After some discussion, these Xu family card masters hurried to the Xu family's stronghold in the old city.
At this time, Xu Wenbai was in the stronghold, waiting for news.
In addition to being a steward of the Xu family, he is also a person who handles dirty work and specializes in solving all difficulties for the Xu family.
The card masters said hurriedly: "We know where the girl is. She is with Luo Sheng and is now guarding the north city gate."
Xu Wenbai's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then he lowered his head and murmured, "No wonder that girl was able to run away. It turns out that she has another helper. That guy is a tough guy to deal with."
The Xu family had suffered losses at the hands of Luo Sheng before.
Especially when competing in college.
Luo Sheng specifically hunted down the card masters of the Xu family and did not stop until he made the Xu family pay him with a bottle of spiritual essence. This also caused the displeasure of the alliance envoy.
Therefore, Xu Wenbai never had any good feelings towards Luo Sheng and wanted to kill him.
However, it has not risen to the level of hatred and is just disgust.
Now, Xu Yourong was able to successfully escape from the pursuit of the evil card master, which was probably Luo Sheng's work.
Because his potential and strength are indeed great, he can be considered a genius, and his abilities are stronger than his opponents of the same level.
pity.
The Xu family was such a huge organization, and such a talented person with great potential wanted to step on their head? No way!
A dead genius is a truly good genius.
"Both of them must die. You go and guard your own bases first. I will be responsible for what happens next." Xu Wenbai said directly.
A card master wanted to take advantage of the situation, so he asked, "Master Steward, if we all go to guard, who will deal with them?"
Because killing a card master can rob them of their resources.
Many card artists are happy to do this.
"Don't worry about this kind of thing and don't interfere in this matter, otherwise you won't know what happened even if you die." Xu Wenbai said with a tone of warning.
The card master suddenly became depressed.
Returned empty-handed.
Continue back to your garrison point.
As for Xu Wenbai, he watched the sky gradually darken, then returned to the family residence and told the news to Old Lady Xu.
Old Mrs. Xu is the head of the Xu family.
I had been in seclusion before.
Now he has ended his retreat because of the chaos in Pingcheng.
Then she also nodded, "It's better to scatter their bodies. I don't want any news about the Xu family to be leaked. That girl is very cunning.
While staying at Xu's house, he secretly collected a lot of information.
If she ever tells the League about these secrets, we'll all be doomed, so you know what to do?"
Xu Wenbai nodded and said, "Yes, Old Lady Xu, I am ready to go on stage and I will kill those two little devils."
He is a Silver Nine-Star Card Master.
It's easy to kill those two little devils.
But Old Lady Xu said, "Be cautious and inform the organization. It would be best if they could find a few people to help.
Besides, the organization also wants to advance into the city, and perhaps the north gate is a good gap, so we can go with the flow and do them a favor."
Old Mrs. Xu is still thinking about killing two birds with one stone.
Not only can he kill Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong cleanly and neatly, but he can also do a favor to the evil card master and gain benefits.
A little old man asked, "Do you need my help?"
He is a second elder of the gold level.
Old Lady Xu shook her head. "We have to move to the XC area. We have a lot to do in the next few days. We need you to take charge of the family."
The little old man nodded helplessly: "Okay."
Old Lady Xu looked at Xu Wenbai again and said, "You can report everything to him later. I will lead most of the troops into the XC area first."
"yes."
After Xu Wenbai left.
Get out of the city by covert means.
And contacted the members of the evil card master, and then Xu Wenbai told them according to what Old Lady Xu meant.
A gold five-star card master, Dong Lifutian, who was also the leader of the evil card masters this time, nodded slightly.
He said, "Then we believe that you will break through from the north gate. You must attack the old city within half a day. Time waits for no one."
Xu Wenbai then asked quietly, "Are you in such a hurry?"
"You don't know that the alliance has already sent reinforcements, so we have to race against time here. The purpose of our port city is very simple, to weaken the alliance." Dong Liwentian explained simply.
Then he added: "Don't worry about those two little devils. I will definitely deal with them thoroughly for you. But you know what they have."
"Of course, they are all your spoils. We won't take a single cent." Xu Wenbai nodded.
"Okay." Dong Liwentian was very satisfied and patted him on the shoulder.
Then he took several evil card masters and headed towards the north gate guarded by Luo Sheng.
In their eyes, killing Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong was just a matter of convenience.
When a gold-level card master fights against a silver-level card master, he is overwhelming the other.
Isn't it easy? In their eyes, capturing Pingcheng is the most important thing.
…
at the same time.
Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong arrived at the north gate one after another.
Most of the card masters who have been guarding this place are at the bronze level. Many of them are members of the armed forces, but more are card masters recruited from society.
Their levels are also different, there are bronze levels of all levels, and occasionally one or two silver and two or three star card masters can be seen.
But now, in order to guard the north gate.
The losses were heavy.
Luo Sheng could see a building containing a large number of corpses, all of whom were killed in the previous battle.
Someone saw Luo Sheng and Xu Yourong coming over.
So he asked, "Are you the ones supporting us?"
"Yes." Luo Sheng nodded slightly.
A card master in black uniform was stunned for a moment. He thought there would be a lot of people supporting them, but unexpectedly, there were only two people!
When the others found out, they were all stunned.
Many people complained: "Why are there only two of us? Can't you see our current situation?"
"I guess the alliance is secretly happy in the back, using us as cannon fodder."
"That's right. We didn't get any money, and we were in danger everywhere."
Many card masters shouted in dissatisfaction.
Staying here for a few days will make them feel tired and their lives may be in danger at any time.
Luo Sheng looked at the indignation of the crowd.
If this continues, they will probably rebel.
So he said, "In fact, the two of us are enough. It is easy to guard this door."
The card master in black uniform frowned slightly, "You two are guarding this place? You are not kidding, are you?
There are dozens or even hundreds of invading creatures here every day, attacking us, and they also know how to use rotation warfare to consume our mental strength. "
Luo Sheng was speechless.
It is true that a summer insect cannot talk about ice.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly someone shouted in front: "Here they come again, here they come again, get ready!"
In the distance, I saw a large army of machines surging towards me. As they moved, they raised a cloud of dust that covered an area of several miles.
Obviously, the intensity of the attack this time is higher than before.
Many people suddenly became nervous, their hands and feet trembling, and they picked up the cards in their hands to summon.
However, after many summons, most of their mental strength had already been consumed. It was estimated that after this battle, many people would fall into a weak state.
Just when everyone was getting nervous.
Luo Sheng suddenly stood in front of everyone.
He took out his own cards: [Metal Flower Tree] and [Evil Thorns].
The area of the strengthened [Evil Thorns] field is extremely large, almost occupying an area with a radius of 300 meters.
There were muddy swamps and green thorns everywhere, and the creatures in the swamps kept twisting their bodies like black snakes.
The metal flower tree seemed to have found its own paradise. It was directly amplified within the area and its basic attributes were improved.
As the mechanical army approaches.
The metal flower tree showed a greedy look and opened its bloody mouth.
A large number of tentacles spread forward like long snakes, tied up the madly marching mechanical army, and then put them into their mouths.
They are a free buffet for metal flower trees.
The metal flower tree swallowed a two-person-tall mecha into its body. As the crusher inside its body started up, the mecha was shattered, and then it turned into a card with a flash of light.
It fell into Luo Sheng's hands.
The metal flower tree did not stop eating.
Tirelessly devouring any invading creatures it can catch.
Most of the mechanical army's strength is at the bronze level, and a small part is at the silver level, but none of them exceeds silver five stars.
This is a piece of cake for the metal flower tree that has reached the silver level nine.
In less than two minutes, Luo Sheng obtained 20 cards, and the number kept increasing.
The mechanical army was constantly being consumed and its numbers were decreasing.
Even the mechanical pterosaurs that can fly in the air cannot escape the fate of being swallowed.
The tentacles of the metal flower tree are extremely long, at least 300 meters long. With the help of domain cards, they can be extended by about half that length. So as long as you get close to the city gate, you will be pulled down by it.
Less than 5 minutes.
The mechanical army has become a card in Luo Sheng's hand, with a total of up to 50 cards.
Few escaped.
Even if some invading creatures saw something was wrong, they would turn around and run away.
Still couldn't escape the capture of the metal flower tree.
In particular, this guy can burrow into the ground, instantly appear on the retreating path of the invading creatures, and then devour them wantonly.
The people standing behind Luo Sheng.
He was stunned, obviously he had never seen such a scene before.
Their average level was only Silver 1 or 2. Although they could win against such a large mechanical army, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and at least a dozen card masters would have to be sacrificed.
And Luo Sheng was able to easily defeat the opponent by himself.
"Silver Seven Stars?"
A card master suddenly shouted.
When Luo Sheng summoned the card, he sensed his level.
It was higher than anyone else present, especially the card he used, which had reached an astonishing silver nine stars.
"No wonder there are only two of them, they are too strong!"
"Oh! I finally remembered, he is the master of door opening, no wonder he looked so familiar to me."
"No wonder we can easily defeat the opponent."
"Huh, I just said the Alliance wouldn't be so heartless as to leave us here as cannon fodder."
Everyone seemed to have found a backbone and they all breathed a sigh of relief, no longer as gloomy as before.
Obviously, Luo Sheng gave them a big surprise.
Let everyone's safety be guaranteed.
The black-uniformed card master who had questioned Luo Sheng before came forward, bowed heavily, and said very apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted your strength, I was too eager, I'm so sorry!"
Luo Sheng was indeed displeased with this guy before.
But seeing that he was so responsible, I didn't care about it.
He just waved his hand gently and said, "I understand how you felt at that time. Anyone would be very angry... Now everything is fine. Leave the guarding of the city gate to us."
"this……"
The black uniformed card master began to hesitate.
He added: "This place was handed over to us by the Alliance. The people are alive as long as the city survives. If the city is destroyed, the people will die."
Luo Sheng smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, with us here, the city gate will not be lost unless we die.
Of course, you should also look behind you. They can't hold on for long. If they stay here, they will just die in vain."
Luo Sheng finished speaking.
By the way, he pointed at the people behind him.
at this time.
All the card masters had wounds of varying sizes on their bodies.
Many people even had their mental strength exhausted long ago. They sat on the ground powerlessly, looking exhausted.
They are basically a burden and cannot bring much help to the battle.
"All right……"
The black uniformed card master nodded.
He is the main person in charge of the north city gate.
After hearing what Luo Sheng said, he had no choice but to nod and agree, and chose to retire.
However, Luo Sheng suddenly said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I have a lot of cards in my hand, if you need them, you are welcome to buy them!"
Many card masters were stunned.
I didn't expect him to suddenly come up with this trick.
Look at the war stopping temporarily.
Luo Sheng thought that when they were about to leave, he would raise the sickle in his hand and cut a wave of leeks hard before letting them go.
Luo Sheng unceremoniously placed the cards on the ground for people to choose from.
Anyway, the current card building has already been moved, and the price of the cards inside was almost 30% higher during the war, so Luo Sheng felt that he was doing a conscientious business.
Luo Sheng used the black market price himself.
Everyone wanted to tease him, but after seeing Luo Sheng's strength, they no longer had such thoughts.
Of course, there are some who want to curry favor with Luo Sheng, so they go up first and choose the cards they like.
With the first person taking the plunge, others followed suit.
After all, the cards sold by Luo Sheng are indeed low in price and of good quality, and they are basically combat cards.
Soon, all fifty cards were sold out.
Luo Sheng counted the money happily. Although these cards were of low level and not expensive, there were many of them now.
There were also seven or eight silver-level cards, and in the end, I earned thirty card coins.
Now he owns 276 card coins, which is a huge sum of money.
Xu Yourong asked from the side: "Don't you need to keep the cards yourself?"
"I still have more than 500 cards in my hand. These cards are useless to me, so I might as well sell them." Luo Sheng said.
This transaction was a happy one for both parties.
The card master gets cheap cards, and Luo Sheng also makes huge profits, almost 100% pure profit.
But just then.
A card master who was on the lookout suddenly said, "Several card masters are approaching this place!"
In the distance, a card master wearing a black cloak was seen approaching quickly.
Xu Yourong also looked into the distance: "Those are all evil card masters."
The others were all stunned after hearing this.
"Evil card master?"
"Damn it, why are we so unlucky!"
Everyone was talking at once.
Luo Sheng also narrowed his eyes and looked at the evil card masters who were surging over. The levels of these people were all above Silver Five, and there was also one Gold Five-Star.
It seems that they are aggressive and want to break into the city.
Luo Sheng directly said to the black uniformed card master: "You guys leave quickly, we will guard here."
