The City Boy

Chapter 30 The City Boy

"Submission?"

The city's general simply smiled at the Holy Lord.

then,

Before the Holy Lord, under his incredulous gaze, he raised his longsword, pointing it directly at the demon: "We left the city not to submit, but to drive you out!"

With that, the tower collapsed.

The legend of the Slaughtering Magic spread.

The shackles of evil on people's hearts have been completely broken; they leave the city for freedom!

"Soldiers, charge with me!"

"Drive out the demons, defend our homeland, and uphold the freedom in our hearts!"

With the general's shout.

The warriors charged forward, spears in hand, their target the dragon!

Seeing this scene.

The Holy Lord was still in a daze for a moment.

He stood there for a long time without reacting, until the army that was charging with the general was almost within reach.

"You're talking about freedom?"

It was at this moment that the Holy Lord finally snapped out of his reverie. He coldly swept his terrifying crimson eyes across the ground, his voice hoarse and somber: "All power, including freedom, is a gift bestowed upon you by the monarch!"

"I give, and you can have; I don't give."

"You have none!"

To yearn for freedom and overthrow the throne is a betrayal of the Holy Lord, such a blatant betrayal, he cannot accept it!

At this moment, raging flames gathered in the mouth of the Holy Lord.

Not only that.

He even floated into the air, his eyes flashing with lasers capable of destroying everything!

"All traitors must die!"

With a dragon's roar, flames and lasers erupted from the Holy Lord at the same time, and terrifying energy swept across the entire battlefield in an instant!

The warriors' mortal bodies simply could not resist such extraordinary magic.

It was just a slight contact.

The human body was completely burned and pierced into dust!

Only the mutilated body or a scale from a suit of armor remains, symbolizing that he had been on this battlefield.

"The dragon is in the sky; we can't attack it at all!"

The desperate screams of the soldiers began to echo across the battlefield.

What they used to see in stories was the absolute dominance of immortals against demons. Rereading these stories made them forget something very important, which is...

The demons are facing off against the immortals, against the celestial beings!

And they,

They are just ordinary people with mortal bodies!

To confront a demon head-on with one's mortal body is like an egg hitting a rock—utterly futile!

The soldiers knew this, and so did the generals.

but

Could he order a retreat at a time like this?

the answer is negative.

The demons have gained an absolute advantage on the battlefield. If a retreat is ordered, the legion's formation will be thrown into chaos, which would be an excellent opportunity for the Holy Lord to carry out a massacre!

Generals who understood this could only continue to issue orders while watching their compatriots die tragically!

"Don't be afraid!"

"We have bows and arrows! Shoot him dead!!"

As the general issued the order.

Archers appeared at the rear of the legion, nocking their bows and firing at the demons in the sky!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"

Arrows flew like shuttles, sweeping towards the Holy Lord as if blotting out the sky.

In this regard.

A flicker of disdain crossed the demon's eyes: "How can a mortal's weapon harm a noble dragon?"

He didn't use any defensive measures; he simply stood there and let Jian Zhi shoot at him!

—The power of the horse!

Healing and recovery:

It can remove all influences caused by external forces from the holder, has the ability to heal diseases and injuries, and can restore any defective object to its most complete state!

Under the influence of this magic, any damage suffered by the Holy Lord can be healed in the shortest possible time!

he,

They were not afraid of the sweeping arrows at all!

"Unkillable!"

"Demons cannot be killed!"

"run!"

"Let's run!"

"."

Upon seeing this, the soldiers in battle immediately panicked.

Before the general could give the order, they were so terrified that they rushed into the city!

The battle formation has been disrupted.

There's no chance anymore!

The general watched in despair as the demons slaughtered their fleeing comrades; he wanted to help, but was powerless to stop them.

He could only move slowly into the city, propelled by his guards.

"Is it simply impossible for humans to defeat demons?"

The general was utterly desperate.

Not only him, but also a handsome young man on the city wall witnessed everything. He couldn't help but clench his fists: "Is it truly impossible for human power to dispel the darkness symbolized by demons?"

Think for a moment.

The boy raised his head, his eyes filled with determination: "No, it's possible!"

There are historical examples of mortals defeating demons!

The disciple of that Celestial Being, a hero named Akatsuki, learned magic and, through sealing magic and tokens, banished the mountain demon to Hell!

His appearance,

It proclaims to the world that the human body is fully capable of defeating evil!

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

As long as you can learn magic, you can become powerful enough!

Thinking this, the boy's gaze grew even more resolute. He had quietly solidified his resolve regarding the path he would take in the future.

The Holy Lord, who has returned to the world, seems to enjoy the thrill of slaughter.

He was not in a hurry to attack the city.

Instead, they toyed with the soldiers who had not yet left the battlefield like a cat catching a mouse, giving them hope, and then seizing them and letting them die in despair!

On the other side, inside the city.

The general defending the city held his head in his hands, squatted on the ground, and remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, his heart was filled with endless despair.

He hated his own incompetence.

And also complained about all sorts of things

However, at that very moment, time and space around them seemed to have been artificially frozen.

I only heard that

The whistling wind blew in my ears.

All I saw was...

A figure dressed in white robes slowly walked in from outside, his face obscured, yet he resembled a deity.

"Who are you?"

The general asked in a slightly trembling voice.

Who I am is not important.

Lin Tian approached the general, looking down at him: "The important question is, if I offered your life in exchange for the entire city's hope of escape, would you be willing?"

"With my life?" The general was somewhat stunned.

Lin Tian nodded slightly, glancing out of the corner of his eye towards the outside of the city: "You don't have much time left to make a choice. The game of cat and mouse is about to end."

As Lin Tian finished speaking.

The images of his compatriots dying tragically before his eyes played repeatedly in the general's mind.

In an instant.

Strands of blood covered his pupils.

He raised his head, staring intently at Lin Tian, ​​and gave his answer: "I'm willing to give everything!"

This city is simply not defensible.

When the demons lose interest and launch their full-scale attack on the city, everyone inside will die!

Because there's simply not enough time to escape!

so.

Why shouldn't he risk his life to give others a chance to escape?

"As you wish."

Lin Tian smiled gently, stretched out his finger, and tapped the man's forehead.

moment,

The peaceful space around us began to distort, and the once gentle breeze started to dance wildly!

The terrifying energy seemed to form a cloak for Lin Tian, ​​and this cloak was constantly transmitting energy to Lin Tian's fingertips, which was then sent by Lin Tian to the man's mind.

"I will teach you magic at the cost of my life."

"Activate it."

"Not only do the people of this city have a chance of survival, but you too could make the dragon pay the price!"
