Chapter 442: The bud branches drive the phoenix to save the soldiers, there is no way to the east, g

After the city gate opened, the first thing that came into view was a dozen or so terrified civilians.

Behind these dozen civilians, countless black twisted monsters were crowded together on the streets of the city, and the buildings on both sides of the streets were covered with bright red blood and various unknown organs.

Many rooftops of buildings were stained red with blood, and the entire city seemed to be covered in a terrible layer of scarlet. The strong fishy wind blowing out of the city gate made most of the people in the team subconsciously make nauseous sounds.

The surviving civilians who seemed to be trying to escape at the city gate saw the knights and troops outside the city gate, and opened their mouths as if to call for help.

But the next moment, countless black claws pierced their weak bodies, and countless black monsters surged up and submerged them like black sea water, and rushed towards the large group outside the city gate.

The huge sense of crisis made Hu Lun's head numb. Hu Lun came to his senses and immediately shouted, "Form a line! Protect the people!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers brought by Hu Lun and the soldiers under the noble who joined him immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the two nobles and countless civilians.

"Chong-"

There was a sound of steel rubbing against each other that resounded through the sky, and two groups of soldiers who had never coordinated with each other before took their positions in unison, pointing their lances, spears and swords directly at the oncoming army of monsters!

Seeing this horrifying scene, the people in the rear also started to riot. Some more rational people called on everyone not to panic, but the tiny noise was completely drowned out by the crowd.

Seeing this, Hu Lun drew out his sword and raised it high, shouting, "Everyone, evacuate south immediately!"

But even though Hu Lun used his loudest voice, the people remained in chaos.

The soldiers were all at the front and there was no one to maintain order among the people. Hu Lun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan when he thought that if this continued, his soldiers might be wiped out.

"Pfft-"

At this time, the first batch of monsters had already rushed in. The warriors who formed the iron wall used their weapons to fight hard and barely blocked the first batch of attacks.

Suddenly, a pole with black clothes hanging on it rose up abruptly in the crowd, turning into a bright flag, attracting the attention of most of the people.

Seeing Yazhi holding the unconscious Ryan in one hand and the reins of the skinny horse in the other, with the end of the flag tucked under her arm, she shouted, "Follow me! Follow me!"

As he spoke, Yazhi spurred his horse and galloped towards the south.

Seeing this scene, the people followed Yazhi without hesitation.

Hu Lun finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Fight and retreat! Fight and retreat!"

The soldiers heard the order and began to retreat while blocking the monsters' attack.

However, the monsters in the city seemed to be endless. As soon as the soldiers took a few steps back, more monsters rushed up.

Just like the rising waves, a large number of monsters crowded together and "fell" directly over the soldiers' defense line and began to attack the soldiers from both sides!

"The monster is coming over here!"

"Watch out behind you! Watch out behind you!"

"what!!"

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers died under the monster's claws, and a huge gap appeared in the defense line. The monsters that broke in quickly surrounded most of the remaining soldiers.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Lord City Lord, continue to evacuate the people!"

"Lord City Lord, please stop caring about us!"

Looking at the warriors who were struggling to resist while surrounded by monsters, and the monsters that were still coming in, Hu Lun's hands holding the reins began to tremble slightly, and his heart was filled with sadness.

Most of the warriors here are young knights sent by Fina from the Olcott family, and all of them have been carefully trained by the Olcott family.

If this hadn't happened, they should be carrying out their duties safely in At City while receiving generous military pay.

Gripping the reins tightly, Hu Lun could only let out a helpless and heavy sigh, turned his horse around and prepared to continue evacuating the people.

When he turned his horse, Hu Lun found that Yazhi was riding the horse towards him.

Hu Lun's eyes widened: "Ms. Yazhi, what are you doing..."

"We can't abandon these soldiers. We'll need them for the next evacuation."

Holding Ryan a little tighter in her arms, Yazhi's eyes became determined, and she took out a little rabbit made of branches from her waist.

Looking at the little rabbit, and then at Ryan in his arms, Yazhi murmured softly:

"My Lord, this is the amulet you wove for me, but now... I don't plan to use it to protect myself. When you wake up, don't lose your temper with Yazhi."

As Yazhi finished her words, the little rabbit emitted a warm red glow as if in response to Yazhi.

But soon, the red light became stronger and more dazzling, and finally enveloped the entire city gate in red light, making it impossible for everyone inside to open their eyes and see anything.

But they all heard the clear cry of a phoenix.

As the red light faded, Hu Lun, the evacuated civilians, the surrounded soldiers, and even the crazy and twisted monsters all raised their heads and looked up into the air.

There, a giant bird completely wrapped in flames was flapping its wings, looking down at the large group of monsters below with its sharp eyes.

Yazhi, who was under the giant flaming bird, raised his hand, pointed at the group of monsters at the city gate, and whispered, "Burn those black monsters to ashes."

Upon receiving the order, the giant bird swooped down immediately and instantly passed over the monsters that surrounded the soldiers.

In a flash, the monsters that had passed by disappeared without a trace as if they had evaporated, leaving behind only a pool of lifeless black liquid.

The soldiers who were also passed by the phoenix looked at their hands in confusion. They had just clearly felt the horror of the flames on the giant bird, and also clearly felt that their bodies had been pierced by the giant bird.

But it seems like... nothing happened to me?

"Stop being in a daze and get out now!"

It was not until Hu Lun's shouting that the group of soldiers reacted and immediately ran towards Hu Lun.

Watching the giant flaming bird easily burn all the monsters outside the city, and fly to the city gate to completely block the monsters that were about to rush out, Hu Lun was amazed and asked Yazhi:

"Ms. Yazhi, how long can this giant flaming bird last?"

Yazhi looked at the rabbit in her hand and saw that it was still emitting red light, but it was getting weaker and weaker: "The magic power is rapidly draining away. It probably won't last much longer."

"Then evacuate quickly!"

"Where are we going if we evacuate south?" Yazhi suddenly asked.

"..."

Hu Lun was silent for a while, then slowly said:

"Vahlan."
