Uncontrollable Panic
Chapter 6740 Uncontrollable Panic
A strange fog slowly appeared after nightfall and continued to spread in all directions.
Gufengwei, the only way leading to the imperial city, is now heavily guarded.
The emperor issued an order that this place must be defended to the death and no dangerous targets were allowed to approach the imperial city.
The officers and soldiers all knew very well that the enemy they were about to intercept was a demon or evil spirit, so they were extremely frightened.
Nothing unusual had occurred in the previous few days, which made the guards breathe a sigh of relief.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that what is coming will come sooner or later and there is no way to avoid it.
They are guarding here just to protect the old emperor from disaster, and they may lose their lives if they are not careful.
No one wants to die, but the king's order is hard to disobey, and now we can only grit our teeth and hold on.
When the thick fog appeared, the expressions of the assisting demon hunters changed drastically; they sensed the danger from the fog.
There is something extremely terrifying, hidden in the fog, and is approaching.
"The evil spirit is coming!"
Without the exorcist telling them, everyone had already noticed something was wrong and looked terrified.
The soldiers were restless, and their low voices talking to each other could be heard constantly, which combined together to form a harsh buzz.
"Shut up, everyone! Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be killed immediately!"
With a shout, the soldiers' discussions gradually died down, but their feelings of uneasiness and fear became more intense.
Soon, from the thick fog came the clear sounds of footsteps, horse hooves, and waves of creepy whispers.
It seemed as if countless people were walking in the thick fog.
"General, do you want to go out of the city to check?"
His lieutenant asked, feeling uneasy.
The general on the top of the city looked at the strange thick fog outside the city, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
"Go and have a look."
Such an exploration mission is destined to be full of dangers, making the soldiers who accept the mission extremely embarrassed.
However, he did not dare to disobey the military order, so he could only grit his teeth and head out of the city, disappearing in the thick fog in an instant.
Not long after, a shrill scream was heard, but soon there was no sound.
"Explore again!"
The general gritted his teeth and sent his men into the fog again.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, and all the soldiers sent out disappeared out of thin air.
When the general was wondering whether to send more soldiers to investigate, he suddenly heard a soldier screaming loudly.
"Look, what is that!"
It turned out that many lights suddenly appeared in the thick fog, like walking lanterns.
Then we saw many figures moving along with the lanterns, heading towards the direction of the imperial city.
These figures have strange postures. Some look like paper figures, floating lightly in the thick fog, while others look like puppets, walking in an extremely stiff posture.
It is obvious from the looks of it that these figures are definitely not living people, but groups of evil demons.
The most worrying thing has inevitably happened. What should we do next?
The general gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, looked at the frightened soldiers, and hesitated to issue the order to attack.
He knew very well that after giving the order, his soldiers would not be able to escape death.
If he did not send troops to stop it, he would certainly be severely punished afterwards, and neither he nor his family would survive.
How to choose became a difficult problem, making the general hesitant.
As a result, at this moment, several figures slowly appeared and came to the gate of Gu Fengwei.
When everyone looked closely, they found that it was the missing reconnaissance soldier, but his appearance had changed.
Their faces were as pale as paper, their eyes were flashing green, and many rotten swords were stuck on their bodies.
With his stomach rotten and intestines punctured, he should have been fatal, but at this moment he could walk freely.
The demon hunter shook his head and reminded everyone around him that these soldiers had turned into evil spirits.
As everyone sighed in fear, a soldier who had transformed into an evil spirit spoke in a low voice, his voice as cold as ice.
"Listen carefully, these are Yin soldiers passing through the border, and their target is directly heading for the imperial city.
The tyranny and cruelty of the emperor aroused the wrath of both humans and gods, and he was destined to be punished and judged.
Escorted to the abyss purgatory, endured all kinds of punishment, and calmed the anger of countless wronged souls. If you block it, you will go against the will of heaven and be doomed to be punished.
Once the Yin soldiers enter the city, no one will be left alive."
After the soldiers finished speaking, they slowly turned around and left, joining the team in the thick fog.
At this time, the figures in the thick fog became clearer and clearer, and they were all rotten and broken corpses.
They were clearly refugees who died of starvation and were thrown into a mass grave, but now they have actually crawled back to life.
There were also red-eyed pigs and dogs, and smelly vultures, all mixed in the team with a ghostly look.
There are also some hideous evil ghosts that have human form but crawl on the ground like livestock.
The head mutated, filled with tiger-like fangs, and constantly dripping with smelly saliva.
This sight of hundreds of demons parading at night makes the viewers tremble with fear, needless to say.
The general had a ferocious look on his face, and his subordinates around him were silent, all waiting for orders to be given.
Whether to comply depends on the specific circumstances.
After more than ten breaths, the general sighed and waved his hand gently.
"I am tired, you guys guard the city gate."
After saying this, he slowly left, but his steps were a little heavy.
The surrounding soldiers all knew that the general did not want them to die, so he ultimately did not give the order to fight outside the city.
No one can tell what the future will be like, but for now we have escaped a disaster.
Only the general's confidants knew best that the general was not only concerned about their safety, but was also very disappointed with the emperor's behavior.
If these evil spirits can really force the tyrant to abdicate and establish a wise ruler, it may not be a bad thing.
There are some things you can do, but you can't say them casually. Just be clear about them in your heart.
It is obvious that there is a backer behind this general who hopes that the country can have a new owner.
Perhaps from the very beginning, there was no real intention to intercept.
I wonder how the emperor hiding in the deep palace would feel if he knew about this.
When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. The emperor guessed correctly that there were actually many people who wanted him to die.
Countless demons and evil spirits took advantage of the fog to move forward and continued to approach the imperial city.
The news of the appearance of demons and evil spirits reached the imperial city at the fastest speed, and panic spread in an instant.
After receiving the news, the emperor hiding in the deep palace issued orders like crazy.
We must do everything we can to block and eliminate the demons and evil spirits and never let them get close to the imperial city.
At this moment, the emperor had become nervous and the fear in his heart was about to make him collapse.
As a monarch, he never thought that he would encounter such a crisis.
Faced with this death threat, the emperor was completely powerless to resolve it and could only watch it approaching him.
The pain and torture made the emperor feel overwhelmed and he could only vent his fear and anxiety by roaring.
Not only the emperor felt nervous, but everyone in the entire imperial city felt uncontrollable panic after receiving the news of the arrival of the demon.
Faced with these evil demons, they had no experience in dealing with them and no confidence in winning.
Although the demon hunters had previously described various methods of dealing with demons and evil spirits, such as drawing runes with blood, smearing weapons with extremely yang substances, and reciting various protective mantras.
But who can guarantee that these methods are really effective and can really kill demons and evil spirits?
Now, there are also a large number of soldiers gathered outside the imperial city. Compared with the defenders on the city walls, their situation is undoubtedly more dangerous.
However, they had no way of refusing the military order and could only stay in the wilderness.
With his flesh and blood, he blocks the approach of evil demons and protects the safety of the imperial city and the emperor.
The fog approached quickly, covering the roads and wilderness outside the city, and releasing a strange green light.
Countless distorted figures, as the thick fog approached the imperial city, caused many defenders to retreat in fear.
"Don't retreat. I'll kill anyone who retreats again!"
The imperial guards who were in charge of supervising the battle roared with ferocious faces and kept waving their swords.
The soldiers who retreated in fear were chopped down one after another, and let out waves of wails before death.
At this time, many huge figures appeared from the thick fog, as tall as trees and buildings, and the earth shook as they walked.
Many soldiers were swallowed by the thick fog, and then they let out shrill screams that echoed in the fields.
