Chapter 6737: The City Defender's Despair and Panic
A large number of troops gathered in front of the city defense mansion, and the surrounding streets were tightly blocked.
The city defender spoke arrogantly and righteously on the surface. He angrily denounced the rioters and evildoers for pretending to be gods and was determined to fight them to the end and protect the dignity of the court at the cost of his life.
After the news spread, the city defender won the emperor's favor and was praised in public.
To win the heart of the emperor is equivalent to having a way to heaven, which is indeed a brilliant move.
While gaining benefits, one must also bear corresponding risks. If the demons and rioters retaliate, the situation of the city defender will become extremely critical.
The city defender and the family behind him are obviously aware of this, so they are doing their best to deal with this matter.
They mobilized various resources, hired a group of high-level demon hunters to assist, and also hired a large number of martial artists, and promised them high rewards.
The same is true for soldiers in the army. They use large sums of money to buy people's hearts just so that they will fight enthusiastically when facing danger.
Despite such thorough preparations, they were unable to stop the attacks of the evil demons, who instead killed them all the way to the gate of the city defense mansion.
"They are all a bunch of trash..."
Standing in a high building inside the government office, watching the demonic cavalry killing indiscriminately and the monsters several meters tall being unstoppable, the young city defender was no longer as calm and arrogant as before.
His face was pale, his body was shaking slightly, and cold sweat kept running down his forehead.
"Masters, can you solve these evil monsters?"
The senior demon hunters behind him shook their heads slightly when they heard this, their faces looking extremely solemn.
"The demon is too powerful and has a very extraordinary origin. We are no match for it in a head-on fight.
The best plan now is to evacuate this place as soon as possible and head to the imperial city as quickly as possible.
The imperial city is protected by dragon energy and contains countless masters. Evil spirits dare not act recklessly. "
When the city defender heard this, he looked deeply unwilling, as this was completely inconsistent with his plan.
According to the original plan, when demons and evil spirits appeared, they would be suppressed and eliminated under his command.
Then he took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill the rebels and monsters, thus achieving the final victory in the war.
Once the plan succeeds, the city defender will become famous and gain fame and power.
With some arrangements by the family, he will have the opportunity to enter the cabinet and become a high-ranking official with omnipotent power.
In order to achieve this plan, the family behind him gave great support and placed high hopes on him.
I didn't expect these evil spirits to be so ferocious and terrifying, and all the previous preparations were useless.
For the city defender, who came from a prominent family and had always had a smooth life, this was a blow he had never experienced before.
The anger and unwillingness in his heart were gnawing at his mind like ants, and in the end, he could only sigh.
Although a perfect ending was not achieved, there is still a lot of room for maneuver, enough to package him into a heroic character.
If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely avenge today's shame and make the evildoer hiding behind pay the price.
"Let's go."
The city defender sighed and prepared to leave with the demon exorcist.
"Can't leave!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind everyone, as cold as a chilly wind.
"Who?"
Everyone was startled and turned to look, only to see a young man standing not far away.
He was young and frail, looking as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind.
But for some reason, the moment everyone saw the young man, they immediately felt a strong sense of fear.
Those hideous demons and evil spirits are not as scary as this young man. They make people feel an almost suffocating feeling of oppression.
"Are you the vagrant monster who controls demons and acts recklessly?"
The city guard looked at Tang Zhen and asked with a gloomy face.
A dozen high-level demon hunters stood aside, all of them looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they took out various magical weapons.
The city defenders were just ordinary people and could not feel the horror of the young man in front of them, but they felt a sense of fear that was almost trembling.
It's like a group of strong bulls facing a ferocious tiger in its prime. Neither side is weak and both have the ability to kill the other.
No matter how strong a bull is, it is still a domestic animal. Facing the tiger, the king of the mountain, the slightest mistake will lead to death. At this moment, they dared not relax at all, and every breath was taken with caution.
There was a group of warriors and a large group of fully armed soldiers around, and they were all in a tense state.
They didn't know who the young man in front of them was, but they knew he couldn't be an ordinary person.
Looking at the gloomy-faced city defender and the demon hunter who was acting as if he was facing a great enemy, everyone couldn't help but become nervous.
However, there were also some warriors who felt that the young man in front of them was too weak and could be killed without any effort.
It is really hard to understand why we should be so cautious?
Everyone in the world has two eyes and one mouth, and their appearance is basically the same, but the difference in their brains is huge.
Some people are smart enough to see the essence of things at a glance, while others are numb and dull and can only see the surface of things.
For example, at this moment, half of the people present were not aware of the danger at all.
But after just a few seconds, everyone's eyes widened at the same time, with expressions of horror on their faces.
Just because a series of charred figures suddenly appeared on top of this tall building, emitting a pungent burnt smell.
After these figures appeared, they immediately pounced on the people around them, wielding flaming swords and slashing indiscriminately.
They are extremely powerful and rush through the crowd like mad bulls.
Those soldiers and warriors were knocked all over the place and were torn into pieces when they hit the ground.
The armor he was wearing was not damaged at all, but there were charred and fatal wounds.
The city defender's heart trembled, feeling the threat of death, and took the initiative to urge them to escape.
The high-level demon hunters had no intention of fighting any longer and now only wanted to escape as quickly as possible and escort the city defenders out of the dangerous area.
As long as the city defender survives, the mission will not be considered a failure.
There is no need to worry too much about the dead warriors and soldiers, as well as the ordinary people in the city.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if all the people in the city died, the city defenders would not be affected in any way.
Identity and background are extremely important and will lead to different results for the same thing. If an official without a background encounters such a thing, even if he can repel the evil spirits, he will inevitably be attacked and punished.
If the city defender is replaced by someone with a background, not only will there be no punishment for his mistakes, but he will also receive generous rewards.
They will also be generously rewarded for their meritorious service in guarding.
The next thing to do is to break through the obstruction of the demons and escape from Guzhou City as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the young man pointed his finger.
A black shadow suddenly pounced over, landed on the body of a demon hunter, and instantly penetrated into his body through all seven orifices.
The demon hunter struggled violently, his face quickly became covered with blue veins, his eyes were bloodshot, then turned blood red in an instant, and finally turned purple-black.
His hair was also changing, turning from black to white in a short period of time, flying uncontrollably all over the sky.
“No, this is a secret technique of burning blood. It can instantly increase one’s strength several times, but it can also make one exhausted in a short period of time.
He has been controlled by the demon and will definitely attack his companions. You must be extra careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired demon hunter roared and attacked his companions.
At the same time, several black shadows pounced on other demon hunters one after another, obviously preparing to possess them again.
The demon hunters were terrified and tried every possible way to resist and dodge, fearing that they would also end up being controlled.
They have already realized that once controlled by evil spirits, even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured.
Becoming a puppet of a demon and attacking your companions is extremely frustrating just thinking about it.
However, the demon's methods were clearly more powerful than expected, and the several demon hunters ultimately failed to evade it.
As several roars were heard, the possessed demon hunter quickly mutated and turned berserk, launching a frantic attack on his companions.
Seeing that the group of demon hunters who were protecting him suffered casualties due to internal strife, the city defender was filled with anger and regret.
You bunch of rubbish, what shall I do if you die?
In the past he always thought that he could control everything with power and money, but now it seems that is not the case.
Looking at the young man with a cold face walking towards him step by step, the city defender felt a deep fear in his heart.
At this moment, he was really scared.
Forcing himself to remain calm, the city guard looked at Tang Zhen and said in a trembling voice: "Whatever you want, I can give it to you, whether it's wealth, status, land, or beauties. I can satisfy whatever you want.
Just let me go, and you will gain more than you can imagine!"
