Chapter 408 407. Guard
The sun was rising, and its golden-red light spread across the earth, illuminating Dylan's muddy face.
He leaned on the shovel, his voice hoarse and trembling with disbelief: "Boss, what you said... is it true?"
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"
Dylan tightly grasped the crumpled note in his hand and said nothing.
But soon, the depression in his heart was washed away by this sudden good news, and tears flowed uncontrollably, mixing with the mud on his face and leaving two clear traces.
"Bella... Bella is really still alive!" He cried and laughed like a child, repeating over and over again, "I knew it! I knew she wouldn't leave so easily! She is my Dylan's daughter!"
"Come on, you're nothing special. If you ask me, your daughter is much stronger than you. She's already level 48, almost reaching the level of a diamond adventurer."
He seemed to suddenly remember something. He dropped the shovel and climbed out of the pit using his hands and feet. "I have to go find her! Now!"
At this moment, a Puji jumped to the edge of the pit and swung out its mycelial tentacles as fast as lightning.
Dylan felt dizzy and his whole body spun two and a half circles in the air like a top, and then he fell back to the bottom of the pit with a "thump".
"Are you feeling better?" Lin Jun asked.
Dylan, lying in the pit, nodded after a long time.
Things are different now. The West Coast is in chaos. If Dylan goes there, not only will he not be able to find Bella who is floating on the sea, but his life will be in danger.
"You don't have to worry too much. They seem to be very strong and nothing should go wrong." Lin Jun was deeply impressed by the shooter who wanted to kill you from three kilometers away.
After a long while, Dylan finally sat up slowly and wiped his face: "Boss, you are right...I lost my mind."
In any case, it is great news to know that my daughter is still alive and seems to be doing well.
He was thinking about his daughter all the way, worried about gains and losses, and did not return to Puji's House until noon.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard Bianca's passionate voice:
"Welcome... Boss? Where have you been? Do you know... Wow, it's so dirty!" Bianca, who originally wanted to come up and blame him, jumped back a few steps to make way after seeing that Dylan was covered in mud, and also pulled a maid away.
If these maid uniforms get dirty, she is the one responsible for cleaning them.
Seeing Dylan sitting back at the counter, Bianca mopped the mud on the floor and complained angrily, "Several groups of customers came in this morning, asking about the prices of those newly blended potions. I didn't know the prices yet, so I had to turn them all down! I lost a lot of business for nothing!"
It’s no wonder Bianca is so concerned about it. She can get a few copper coins for each bottle of potion she sells.
Unfortunately, Dylan still looked lost in thought, and only responded vaguely: "Okay, okay..."
Bianca narrowed her eyes suspiciously, swallowed back the remaining half of her complaint, and quietly observed her boss who was behaving strangely.
I feel absent-minded, sometimes sad, sometimes happy.
These are clearly the symptoms of falling in love!
Bianca made her judgment based on her "rich" life experience.
Bianca, who had retreated to the kitchen, sighed. She wondered if her job would still be as enjoyable now that she had a boss lady.
…
On the other side, Jingu City.
Although almost half of the transport team died, they successfully brought back a large number of bodies.
The fresh corpses of Pigmen Warriors apparently provide more mana to the creep than the expected corpses of murdered civilians or ordinary soldiers.
With Lin Jun's intentional support, more Puji emerged from the fungal mat.
At the same time, arrange for those ordinary soldiers to be transferred to Puji Division.
After a few days, the number of Puji division members had reached nearly a thousand.
Angela, who inexplicably became a Puji master, was also among them. Now she is the true commander of the Puji master.
The expected attack from the demons also arrived as expected.
There were snake people I had dealt with before, and a group of lizard people I had never seen before.
The enemy numbered more than four thousand.
Among them, what worried Angela the most were the lizard people.
Lizardmen are not as strong as snakemen, but they are the most likely to use bows.
Puji is most afraid of this type of ranged troops.
After Angela told the Viscount about her concerns, the Viscount made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations.
He abandoned the city walls and ordered everyone to hide in the urban area where the terrain was more complex.
Another commander protested, with good reason.
Street fighting shattered the troops and scattered them across the city, which was a huge test for morale.
The guys under their command are just garrison troops, and their morale is not very high. If they fight street battles like this, they will probably collapse soon.
However, the Viscount felt that the chances of winning in a head-on confrontation were even smaller. This time, the enemy was well aware of Puji's existence and would not send anyone up to deliver him in vain.
The range of the Puji Mushroom Cannon is only about a hundred meters, which is no match for the Lizardman's archers.
As for sending soldiers to shoot at each other, the difference in numbers is difficult to make up, so only street fighting offers hope.
Sure enough, after the demons launched the attack, the lizardmen first used bows and arrows to clean the city walls, killing most of the few Puji on them. After confirming that there were no obstacles, they pressed forward in waves.
When they climbed up the empty city wall, they felt that humans had given up and even began to wonder which direction they would escape from.
But it didn't matter which direction they went, because eventually most people would be caught up by them and taken back to the empire as slaves.
Afterwards, in the city, they ran into Puji again.
In the street fighting, Puji's usefulness once again exceeded the Viscount's expectations.
The snake people were still able to resist the sudden attack, but the lizard people suffered heavy losses in an instant.
As long as one self-destructive Puji is missed in the team, there will instantly be four or five more half-dead lizardmen lying on the ground wailing.
Those puffs were small in size and would scurry between houses, or simply hide in the garbage on the roadside, and suddenly rush out when the demons approached.
As for those Puji Masters, they usually hid at a safe distance of one or two hundred meters, and did not perform micro-management. They would just give the order to attack when they saw that the distance was about right.
A Puji master sensed that his Puji was almost dead, so he decisively ran to the back.
However, a stray arrow shot by the lizardman hit him, and the arrow pierced through his chest. Master Puji immediately fell to the ground and wailed.
Angela walked over, broke the arrow, and pulled it out: "Why are you howling? He can't die! Take him away!"
A soldier took away this newbie who was serving as a Puji master for the first time and had no idea how strong his vitality was.
If Master Puji is not shot to death immediately, he will generally not die.
The toughest guys at that time were shot through the heart and lungs, but they survived after pulling out the arrows in time, not to mention those who were just shot through the chest!
Angela looked at the demon soldiers trapped in the poisonous fog and explosion in the distance, knowing that they had won the battle again.
The street fighting of the Puji Division was not a battle of morale like traditional street fighting, but a battle where the opponent used flesh and blood and morale to consume the Puji, who would not regret dying.
These little creatures are a nightmare to any army if they can get close!
Sure enough, after advancing less than a kilometer into the city, the leaders of the snakemen and lizardmen noticed something was wrong and recalled their troops.
After fighting for so long, we have destroyed an unknown number of magical pets, and it seems that we have not reached the limit yet.
Who dares to continue fighting?
I had no choice but to retreat.
The snake leader just wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he fall in love with this shabby place again?
He had never expected that after so many days, there seemed to be more Pooji in the city than the last time he came?!
How do these humans replenish their magical pets?
Before leaving, he glanced at a fungal mat in the city and had some enlightenment in his mind.
…
After they retreated, the news that Jingu City was difficult to conquer spread throughout the demon tribe's plundering forces.
Until the Demon Duke recalled these troops to the main army, Jingu City was not attacked on a large scale again and became one of the few cities in the west that held out to the end.
