Chapter 441 Hulun leads his people eastward, and Weier fights two armies alone
Upon hearing the report from the scout cavalry, Hu Lun felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
But in order to prevent chaos, Hu Lun did not disclose the matter to the people, but kept urging the large team to move forward.
At the same time, Hu Lun also sent messengers to convey the matter to the imperial capital. After a while, he felt unsafe and sent three messengers in succession before he felt relieved.
Along the way, several more scouts returned with reports of massacres in other cities surrounding the border towns. The situations were exactly the same as those described by the first scout, making Hu Lun even more anxious.
Not only that, there is also no news of several scout cavalrymen who should have returned long ago, and they may have met with some misfortune.
Octavia asked Hullen for a large, pure black cloak and rode at the end of the team.
Yazhi was holding the unconscious Ryan, riding Ryan's skinny horse, and following Octavia's side.
Every time the scouts brought new bad news, Yazhi would hold Ryan tighter in her arms.
Ryan was unconscious, and Yazhi had lost her backbone, feeling a little confused along the way.
In this way, the twisted monsters' massacre of the western cities lasted for a whole night, and the migrating team from the border city marched until a faint light appeared on the horizon.
During the journey, the lord of another city, along with the people he had relocated, joined Hu Lun, further expanding the refugee group.
The refugee group had just evacuated a short distance from the city when the black twisted monsters caught up with them.
The city lord could only order to speed up the journey at all costs, so a large number of elderly people and children were left behind and torn to pieces by the twisted monsters.
Many people in that city saw this scene, so when they joined the people in the border city, the news that was barely suppressed by Hu Lun quickly spread among the people in the border city.
Feelings of anxiety and panic began to spread among the crowd.
Looking at the sun rising in the sky, Hu Lun's eyes were already bloodshot, and he murmured unconsciously: "As long as we reach the next city, as long as we reach..."
"Report!!"
Suddenly, the hurried shouting of a scout cavalry in the distance brought Hu Lun back to his senses.
Looking at the horrified scout, Hu Lun swallowed and said, "Quick... tell me, what happened?"
"A group of black monsters are rushing towards our large team from the southwest! We estimate there are about two thousand of them!"
The scout shouted at the top of his lungs: "They are now less than five miles away from our team!"
"Five miles?!"
Hu Lun was so frightened that he nearly fell off his horse, but then he suddenly remembered something and angrily reached out to grab an extremely fat noble beside him: "Didn't you say you had thrown them away?!"
This nobleman was the city lord who had just met them.
The fat noble said with a sad face: "I'm sure they were all thrown away! We didn't even see the shadow of those monsters along the way!"
"You guys just reunited and the group of monsters caught up with us not long ago. They must have come after you! Didn't you send scouts to investigate?"
"Scouts? The useless scouts I sent out all ran away out of fear and haven't come back yet."
"It was torn apart by a monster!"
Throwing this useless noble aside, Hullen was about to summon the knights to deal with the monster behind him, but he saw Octavia, wearing a black cloak, riding a horse to Hullen:
"Two thousand, eh?"
Hu Lun nodded stiffly: "I don't know how strong those monsters are, but judging by the speed at which those cities are falling, my knights may only be able to buy a little time..."
"I'll be the last one."
Octavia interrupted Hu Lun with a cold voice: "You continue to flee eastward with the people, and leave those monsters to me."
"Ah? This..."
"Right now, our main goal is to get the team settled in the next city. If we delay, something unexpected will happen. I will catch up with you after I have dealt with it."
After leaving these words, Octavia turned around and returned to the end of the team.
Looking at Octavia's back, Hu Lun gritted his teeth and said, "Pass my order. Abandon all the extra items except food and speed up the march!"
"Vell..."
As Octavia passed by Yazhi, Yazhi's tail hung limply on the horse's back, looking at her worriedly.
Looking at Yazhi's appearance, Octavia also understood why Ryan liked Yazhi so much. She couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on her cheek under the cloak, and raised her hand to rub Yazhi's hair:
"Take good care of the sword rack. If there is any accident along the way, use the amulet that the sword rack gave you."
"……Um!"
Watching the large group go away, Octavia rode alone on horseback, standing quietly on the vast field.
A moment later, Octavia heard a rumbling sound from the ground, and a large dark mass appeared at the end of the field.
Looking closely, it was a group of twisted monsters that looked like humanoids, crowded together and rushing towards here.
This undisciplined scene gave Octavia goose bumps all over her body.
"Sure enough, it's just as the elf described..."
Octavia muttered to herself as she took the greatsword from behind her and dropped it to the side of the horse. She gently waved the reins in her other hand:
"drive!"
Upon receiving the order, the white horse immediately spread its hooves and rushed towards the surging monsters. Looking at the black monsters getting closer and closer in the field of vision, Octavia slowly raised the giant sword -
"boom!!"
There was only a loud roar, and the collapsed soil mixed with countless sword energy rushed everywhere. In a flash, countless black limbs and arms and twisted black monsters flew into the air!
Lifting the giant sword that had smashed on the ground, Octavia, who had already rushed into the black monster, easily made a sword flower with the giant sword, and then swept it forward fiercely, knocking down a large number of monsters in an instant!
"It looks intimidating, but that's all."
With a faint whisper, Octavia looked at the black monsters surrounding him from all directions, pointed his greatsword, and the rising sun gave the edge of the greatsword a sharp edge:
"Come on, let's fight!"
? ? ? ?
Near noon, Hu Lun finally led a large group to the gate of the next city.
According to what the scouts had just said, the lord of the city already knew about their situation and said that he would open the city to welcome them in.
But...looking at this quiet city with not even a guard at the city gate, Hu Lun couldn't help feeling uneasy.
If you want to reach At City as soon as possible, you must pass through this city, otherwise you can only take a very long detour.
Hu Lun turned around and signaled his knight to knock on the door. The knight rode forward and shouted a few times, but there was no response at all.
Just as Hu Lun's feeling of uneasiness grew, he heard a creaking sound, and the city's brand new gate made a loud noise as if it was rusted, and then slowly opened.
A huge fishy smell rushed out from the city. Looking at the scene inside the city gate, Hu Lun stood there in a daze for a moment.
