He immediately seized this golden opportunity and shouted loudly to all the soldiers on the city wall:
"It's Li Yu!"
"It was Commander Li Yu who made the move!"
"With him here, our eastern defense line will be as solid as a rock and will be foolproof!"
The loud voice drowned out the wind and rain, and echoed throughout the city walls.
Chen Feng's move was not only to stabilize the morale of the troops, which was somewhat agitated by the sudden attack by the refugees, but also to divert all the "credit" and "attention" from above to Li Yu.
He wanted Li Yu to become the "pillar of stability" in this defensive battle.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, was merely a capable assistant who promptly detected the crisis and coordinated with the hero's actions.
In this way, he would like to see who could steal the credit for guarding the defensive line from the heroes of Zhongzhou.
Hearing Chen Feng's shout, the soldiers from Zhongzhou around them finally reacted. The powerful attack that had instantly killed the awakened refugee was a streak of light so swift and sharp...
Besides the hero Li Yu, who else has the strength to instantly kill a powerful enemy?
After Chen Feng finished shouting, he gestured with his eyes to his adjutant beside him. The adjutant understood immediately and raised his arm to shout:
"Li Yu! You're awesome!"
The soldiers' eyes were filled with admiration for Li Yu, and they joined in the shouts:
"Li Yu! Li Yu!"
The sound not only drowned out the crashing water below, but also firmly imprinted the news of Li Yu's intervention in the minds of every soldier.
Seeing this, Chen Feng nodded secretly, quite satisfied with the current outcome.
His gaze then swept over the refugee leaders who were being held captive, his face hardening. He intensified the gravity field he was manipulating before finally issuing his order with murderous intent:
"Counterattack immediately! Slaughter any refugees who dare to climb the city walls and attempt to enter Zhongzhou territory on the spot!"
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers replied in unison and immediately sprang into action.
The refugee leaders, already weakened and demoralized by being pinned to the ground, were quickly and thoroughly 'eliminated' by the ferocious soldiers of Central Plains and the Awakened squad.
Immediately afterwards, countless attacks from supernatural powers and weapons blasted down from the wall.
One by one, the refugee awakeners who were still 'hanging' on the city wall and trying to climb it were knocked down, screaming as they fell into the raging flood below and were instantly swallowed by the turbid current.
Moments later, order was quickly restored on the chaotic Great Wall, and no more refugees climbed up.
Only the torrential rain and floodwaters continued to roar below, relentlessly eroding the city walls.
the next day.
As dawn broke, the downpour gradually subsided.
Everything has settled down.
The turbid floodwaters outside the Great Wall subsided, but the water level in the distance surged, bringing the Great Wall one step closer.
With the rains continuing, it's only a matter of time before the water level overflows the Zhongzhou defense line.
Yesterday, the city gate was crowded and noisy, but now it is a mess, with only some floating debris left.
The number of displaced people gathered outside decreased by more than 90% overnight!
Only a few water-element awakeners, or those who were extremely lucky enough to be on high ground, or those who managed to survive by clinging to floating objects, barely escaped the calamity and are now barely clinging to life outside the defense line.
As for those refugee forces who wanted revenge, they were long ago swallowed up by the flood along with their hatred, and their whereabouts are unknown.
Chen Feng climbed the city wall early, his gaze sweeping over the desolate scene below, a picture of hell. His eyes showed no pity, only the cold indifference he had always known. He thought to himself:
'If refugees can't even withstand natural disasters, what right do they have to live in Zhongzhou, even if he puts them on the border?'
Do you really think that just because there are no strange beasts in Zhongzhou, they won't eat people?
Chen Feng remained calm and sent men to clear the mud and debris near the city gate, as if last night's rainstorm had been nothing more than an ordinary downpour.
When Li Yu woke up, he heard from the gatekeeper about the flood that had struck the previous night and the fierce battle that had taken place on the city wall. He immediately stood up and rushed out of the rest room.
Xiao Zhan, who was deep in thought, was bewildered by Li Yu's commotion, while Bai Ya, who was standing guard outside the door, was even more confused.
Seeing Li Yu's "anxiety," the two were puzzled but quickly followed, wanting to see what major event had caused Li Yu's concern.
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the soldiers from Zhongzhou, Li Yu hurriedly ran towards the defensive city wall.
As soon as Li Yu stepped onto the city wall, Chen Feng, who had been keeping an eye on Li Yu's movements, immediately went to greet him.
When Li Yu peeked out from the city wall and saw the desolate scene outside, as if the vast ocean had been thoroughly washed away, he stood there stunned.
Then, in front of everyone, Li Yu slapped her thigh hard, her face instantly filled with expressions of "heartache" and "deep regret," her voice brimming with remorse and reluctance:
"Oh my! This! This...this...!!"
Li Yu was extremely agitated, pointing to the devastation outside the city, his voice trembling as he spoke:
"Last night I was thinking about how guilty I felt for taking so much of the refugees' belongings, and I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep with a guilty conscience!"
He pounded his chest:
"I originally planned to only consider it for one night. If they sincerely repent after dawn, I'll take them all with me! It'll be a chance for them to reform!"
"I never expected it! I never expected it! Such a tragedy could happen in just one night!"
"Oh no! What a... what a shame!"
Li Yu beat his chest and stamped his feet, his expression conveying deep sorrow.
He seemed to be a benevolent hero who felt deeply guilty for failing to save many refugees in time.
Xiao Zhan and Bai Ya, who followed closely behind, were speechless after hearing what Li Yu said.
They had thought it was something important that would worry Li Yu so much, but it turned out that the refugees outside had died in the flood? That pained him.
