Chapter 34 Late Support

Although he killed Liu Tu, Su Lie is still very angry and blames himself.

If Liu Tu had been dealt with earlier, he might be able to seek help smoothly, and he wouldn't have to lose so many brothers today.

Su Lie really didn't expect that Liu Tu and the forces behind him would sacrifice the lives of so many guard soldiers for their own benefit!

Therefore, Liu Tu must die this time, otherwise more people may die in the future.

The Bow and Arrow Battalion also suffered heavy losses in this attack by the monsters. Less than one-sixth of the soldiers survived. At this moment, they were busy cleaning up the battlefield, and not many people noticed that Su Lie had killed someone.

Even the soldiers who noticed that scene pretended not to see it.

Su Liezhai is kind-hearted and has a high reputation in the army, but Liu Tu always likes to find fault when he has nothing to do, and many soldiers reject him from the bottom of their hearts.But he was the supervisor of the army, and the soldiers didn't dare to show it too clearly.

Now that Liu Tu was killed, these soldiers even applauded in their hearts.

"The monsters attacked the city, Liu Jianjun led his followers to fight to the death, unfortunately sacrificed. Come, let Liu Jianjun go to the ground as soon as possible." Seeing the corpse in front of him, Su Lie said lightly.

Hearing this, the soldiers next to him were already complaining in their hearts.

If I hadn't seen you kill someone with my own eyes, I would have almost thought what you said was true...

But they don't dare to show it, whatever the officer says is what they say, just don't kill people to silence them.

Seeing Su Lie's serious expression, a few soldiers walked over bravely, and then moved the bodies of Liu Tu and his entourage down with fear, and buried them together with the soldiers who died in battle.

Not long after, a troop came from behind the Great Wall, led by a middle-aged fat man, who climbed up the wall of the Great Wall panting.

Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him, the middle-aged fat man couldn't help but gasped.

Not far away, the corpses that were too late to be buried were all burned beyond recognition by the fire and piled up into a hill.

And outside the Great Wall... that is the real purgatory on earth!

There are densely packed corpses everywhere, including monsters and humans, all of which were scorched black by the fire, and an extremely weird smell filled the air, making people sick.

If you only look at the number of dead demons, then this battle of defending the city is undoubtedly a big victory.

But the Great Wall Guards don't think so. In the war against demons, they have never felt the joy of winning a battle.

Yes, it's just the joy of the rest of the life after the catastrophe, and the sorrow of the death of comrades-in-arms!

The demons are just a group of beasts, even if they are all dead, can they be exchanged for the comrades they have been with day and night?

The middle-aged fat man looked around a few times, as if he was looking for something, but he couldn't seem to find it.

After that, he withdrew his gaze and walked towards Su Lie.

He had received news of Su Lie asking for help before, but at the same time, he had also received an order from Liu Tu not to send troops for reinforcements.

After that, he intercepted the scout who sent the letter.

It can be said that there are reasons for the heavy casualties of the Great Wall Guards this time.

As for leading the troops now, Liu Tu estimated that the guards would suffer heavy losses after seeing the monsters coming to attack the city, so he sent a letter to him to lead the troops, and then acted at the critical moment to turn the tide of the battle.

Let's see if Su Lie'an can be accused of ineffective garrison and impeached from his position as chief.

"General Su Lie, why didn't you see Supervisor Liu?" The middle-aged fat man cut straight to the point.

"The demons attacked the city, Liu Jianjun led his followers to fight to the death, and unfortunately died..." Su Lie's face was so sad that the middle-aged fat man did not have the slightest doubt.

Of course, no one would doubt Su Lie's words after seeing the fiasco outside the Great Wall.

Without certain strength, it is very difficult to survive such a war...

Liu Tu's ability to do things is quite strong, but that's all.

Immediately afterwards, Su Lie asked loudly: "It's General Hu, what do you mean by bringing the troops here now? If I remember well, I sent a request for help four days ago. Why are you leading the troops here now?"

The middle-aged fat man's name was Hu Jian, and the city he was stationed in was the closest to the Great Wall, less than five hours' walk away.

That's why I was able to come as soon as possible after receiving Liu Tu's letter from Feige.

"Ask for help?" Hu Jian said with a look of surprise, "I recently received a request for help, and it was sent by Supervisor Liu today."

Of course, he couldn't admit that he had received Su Lie's request for help before, and he also detained the scout who delivered the letter, which was a serious crime.

"Then ask General Hu to take the troops back, the demons have been killed and retreated, you are late!" In the last sentence, Su Lie deliberately accentuated his tone, expressing his dissatisfaction.

After finishing speaking, Su Lie didn't bother to talk to Hu Jian anymore, otherwise he was afraid that he would lose control of himself and kill him again.

"Since we are here, we must do something, right? Let my brothers help clean up the battlefield." Hu Jian said.

"Also, General Su, after receiving the message from Supervisor Liu asking for help, I rushed here with my brothers without stopping, but it was still late... I am very sorry for this."

Hu Jian already sensed the dissatisfaction in Su Lie's tone. Liu Tu had already died in battle, and he lost his mind for a while, so he thought of staying and helping to ease the tense atmosphere between the two sides.

Su Lie ignored him and didn't come when he asked for help.

Now... huh!

But if he wants to stay or leave, he can do as he pleases. After the battle, the soldiers of the guard army are exhausted physically and mentally. It is not bad for someone to help clean up the battlefield.

As for Hu Jian, we will find another opportunity to deal with him in the future!

……

With the addition of soldiers under Hu Jian's command, the speed of cleaning the battlefield has been accelerated a lot.

A few hours later, all the corpses on the city wall were cleared.

A lot of corpses outside the Great Wall were also cleaned up, while the corpses of those demon species in the distance were temporarily ignored, and they would be cleaned up later to prevent the plague from spreading.

Su Lie ordered the guards to disband and go back to rest, and Hu Jian did not bring the troops back to the station.

The Great Wall Guards have suffered heavy losses now. He brought all his subordinates, and they must stay to help defend.

Otherwise, if the demon species broke through the Great Wall at this time, ten of his heads would not be enough to chop off.

Only by keeping the Great Wall can the Heluo Empire have a stable rear.

And all actions that are not conducive to the stability of the empire are serious crimes, and they will be beheaded!

The guards all went back to rest, including some soldiers under Hu Jian's command, and followed them back to the guard camp.

Because there were too many dead soldiers on the guard side, the camp didn't seem very crowded at this time, and it was even much empty than before.

As soon as they entered the camp, Hu Jian and his soldiers felt a sense of sadness and depression blowing towards their faces.

……

The walls of the Great Wall.

Su Lie quietly looked at the dark cloudland in front of him.

Behind him, Shen Mengxi, Kai, Li Xin, Jia Luo and Bai Li stood in a row.

"Hey, everyone..." Su Lie sighed, just about to say something.

at this time!Suddenly, a dazzling thunder flashed in the depths of the cloudy desert.

After a while, the muffled thunder rang out one after another, as if the world had been destroyed!

Su Lie, Kai, Shen Mengxi, and Li Xin didn't know what happened, but they also felt that something was wrong.

Only Bai Li and Jia Luo looked at each other, seeing the panic in each other's eyes.

Over there is the direction of the valley where the Juggernaut woke up!
