step by step

"The Floating Light City is about to be broken," Gu Du said.

The army of skeletons outside surged up like a tide, and the dilapidated Floating Light City was like a little duckweed in front of the astonishing number of them, vulnerable to a single blow.I don't know if it's because of the big prophecy that I saw just now, which made the necromancers panic. At this moment, they dare not hold back any more, and they only want to smash the obstacle in front of them, and completely conquer it under their feet.

Yan Feng stood side by side with the two of them, looking at the situation in front of him, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Are we going to retreat?"

"Retire, why not?" Gu Du said coldly. The emperor's actions had already chilled his heart. In this case, there is nothing wrong with choosing another master: "Pass down the general order! Keep the selected [-] soldiers Stop the enemy, and the rest of the troops immediately exit Floating Light City and head towards Fuxi City."

They had made preparations a long time ago, and the possibility of surviving after the death was extremely small. All these ten thousand soldiers left voluntarily without the concern of their families.The messenger was stunned for a moment, then hesitatingly said: "But general, isn't the emperor ordered that once we leave this floating city, we will be regarded as deserters, and everyone will be punished?"

There was an imperceptible anger on Gu Du's face, disgust and irony towards the emperor, and various emotions gathered together, condensing into a complex emotion.He pursed his lips tightly and patted the young soldier's shoulder lightly: "Go - your lives are the most important."

The orderly was shocked, he answered loudly, and turned around to give the order without hesitation.Yan Feng couldn't help but look sideways, and said unexpectedly: "Have you decided to betray him?"

Gu Du said angrily: "Don't forget, all my relatives died because of him, and even I almost lost my life at his hands many times. Is it possible that I should be grateful to him? My Gu family has always been respectful to the emperor. Loyal and loyal, the purpose of our existence is to make the country rich and the people strong. But look at what Dachang is like now? We don’t have a strong army, no loyal officials, and the enemy’s iron hooves are about to step into my Dachang territory , What is our emperor still doing? He still wants to take this opportunity to get rid of us generals who threaten him! Stupid! Stupid!"

Yan Feng took a deep breath, not knowing whether he should be grateful for Kong Zhu, or feel sad that he once had such a master.

Gu Du suddenly asked: "Your Highness..." They all saw the intimacy between the strange woman and her.

"Will you give up on her because of this?" Yan Feng asked back.

"Forget it, forget it," Gu Du smiled wryly and shook his head: "Since the master can have such courage, he is willing to risk the world's displeasure and still stay with her. Then we subordinates, what position do we have to criticize?" ?”

Both of them are smart people, and they used to be in different camps, but they still have such a heroic spirit of sympathy.Yan Feng is not like the emperor, he still has some conscience in his heart, he can't stand the emperor's actions all the time, but because of his own status, he can't do anything about it; and Gu Du was caught by the emperor because he helped Yan Feng speak, and exterminated the nine clans , only he escaped by chance.The entanglement between the two is really hard to explain.

The army changed defenses quickly, exited Floating Light City in an orderly manner, and quietly assembled under the North City Gate. More than 9 soldiers were tired from the continuous days of fighting.Just looking at the blood-red eyes, one can feel that as long as these resolute men survive and train a little, they will definitely be a victorious army.

"Boys!" On the high city wall, only Gu Du and Yan Feng stood.Unlike Yan Feng's strong outfit, Gu Du was dressed in black armor and fully armed.He held the scabbard tightly with his left hand, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he swept across the soldiers under the city bit by bit.At this moment, he is the center of the eyes of all the soldiers: "Floating Light City is about to lose its hold now. Our hard work over the past two months has been completely defeated today! Now, the vicious enemy is outside the city right now." , the compatriots we left behind are using their weapons and even their own flesh and blood to stop the enemy and fight for us to leave! Soldiers, tell me! Floating Light City was destroyed, is it because we are not brave? It is us Afraid of death!"

The city was silent, and all the soldiers held their heads high, looking up at the supreme God of War in their hearts.From their burning eyes, both generals could read their wishes.

Floating Light City was destroyed, they were not reconciled, not reconciled!They worked hard for two months and witnessed the people from fear and anger to the final despair; they witnessed that nearly half of the brothers left their lives in this barren land; Today, step by step to gain a firm foothold in Floating Light City and block the enemy, as long as, as long as their respected majesty can send some reinforcements, as long as their respected majesty can send some reinforcements, how can they fall to such a state? !

Gu Du picked up the scabbard, held the hilt with his right hand, and with the tip of the sword pointing down, slammed the scabbard against his solid armor-covered chest. When the iron object collided with the iron object, there was a sonorous and powerful roar: "It's not our fault. We are not afraid of death! If we were afraid of death, we would not be standing here right now. If we were afraid of death, we would have been torn to pieces by the enemy! Floating Light City was broken not because of our cowardice! We are not brave in battle! Boys, you are the most valiant fighters, I, Gu Du, am proud to have led you brothers in this life!"

He bent down slightly, and solemnly bowed to the soldiers below.The soldiers thumped their chests almost at the same time, returning the salute forcefully.Their hearts are boiling, and their blood is also boiling.In this era of supremacy of imperial power, they are deserters who have disobeyed the emperor's order, and they have long given up any hope of surviving.Not only them, even their relatives and friends will be implicated, but they are completely powerless to resist this sad fate, even though they know that executing this order will lead to a dead end.

Gu Du slowly raised his head, his eyes swept deeply over the faces of every soldier below, these weather-beaten faces tightly pursed their mouths, their expressions were resolute, but it was hard to hide the uneasiness and hesitation in their eyes.They are not afraid of dying in battle or shrouded in horse leather. They are only afraid, only afraid that their wives, children, and children will bear the name of shame all their lives and live in humiliation because of themselves.

"My sons and daughters, each of you is a hero! You have paid too much for Dachang! But the emperor is short-sighted, he puts our safety at risk, and even wants to send us to a dead end with his own hands. He is not our allegiance My lord!"

There was some commotion among the soldiers, and everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that the shocking words they heard were true.Gu Du and Yan Feng turned their heads together, and bowed deeply behind them:

"Welcome Your Highness."

Kong Zhu walked forward slowly, although the soldiers below did not know her identity, most of them had seen her appearance.She flipped her right hand, and a token made of pure gold appeared in her hand.The whole body of this token is made of gold, and the word "Tianci" is engraved on the front.On the back of the token, a vivid auspicious bird Phoenix is ​​engraved.The phoenix's eyeballs are inlaid with two small rubies. It holds its head high and proud, with a noble and arrogant appearance, like a born king descending into the world.

This is a symbol of Daechang's royal status.

The emperors of all dynasties in Dachang have always emphasized that they are God-given divine power, and the people have been convinced of this for a hundred years of continuous brainwashing.Even though the soldiers still had doubts about the royal family in their hearts, they couldn't help beating their hearts in the face of such a scene.They are all rough people, and they don't understand the intrigue in the court, but they also know that their most respected general just said such serious, almost rebellious words, and then members of the royal family appeared in front of them. How can you not be nervous?

"I am the emperor's third daughter, titled Yongle." Kong Zhu paused slightly, and a hint of disgust and sarcasm secretly flashed in his light gray pupils.Yongle, Yongle.Her father wanted her to be happy forever, so he asked the emperor for such a title for her.But he didn't know that her existence itself was an unforgivable mistake, so how could he be happy?

"Father is old and can't tell right from wrong. He accidentally believed the treacherous minister's words, easily cut off all support in Floating Light City, and abandoned our 20 warriors and millions of innocent people in Floating Light City. Soldiers , do you feel resentment in your heart?"

The soldiers looked at each other, feeling a sign of a storm before it came.As a son and daughter, but use such bad words to criticize your father, this, this is more than a treasonous act!

"Protect the Holy Master, restore the power, take the side of the Qing emperor, suspend the court, and be famous in history, do you dare?!"

On the side of the Qing emperor, Su the palace.Even though these soldiers don't know anything, they still know that this is the prelude to rebellion!

Gu Du took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Boys! Look behind you, there is the rich Fuxi City, the prosperous and prosperous magic city, and the gentle town where the rich and powerful are drunk and dreaming! They are our brothers, completely block Our only hope of survival! Look in front of you, 50 enemy troops are sweeping in, and life and death are only a matter of thought. Do we have a way out? We have no way out! If you want to live, if you don’t want to be buried with Floating Light City, We have to fight desperately to open a path among our compatriots who are several times larger than us. There are interceptions ahead and pursuers behind. We must tell them and the people of the world that we are heroes! We are not deserters!"

But how difficult would it be to do this?Everyone knew that there was an army of 75 Dachang stationed in Fuxi City. Once they tried to resist, the weapons in the hands of these former brothers would mercilessly penetrate their chests.And behind them, there is an army of nearly 60 skeletons. They are not my race, and they will no longer have any luck.

Unless they go to heaven and enter the earth, how can they escape?How can you escape?
