Zhang Mu drove the warship to its ultimate speed, escaped from Bianhai City, which was turned into a sea of ruins and fire, and rushed towards Zhonghai City with all his strength. It is true that Bianhai City was defeated. However, there are abundant resources in the city that need to be transported. It will take some time for the evil dragon army to clear up. Zhonghai City will not be reached in a short time. Zhang Mu has enough time to return to Zhonghai City to evacuate the mercenary forces and ensure everyone's safety. Of course, all the mercenary property that can be taken away must be taken away.
It has been several days since the evil dragon incident came to light. The senior officials of the Green Alliance must have received the news, but they still have no reaction. They must be hesitant.
The power of the evil dragon is unknown.
Whether to reinforce Xihai or abandon Xihai to preserve the overall situation is a difficult decision.
However, even if the central government is willing to provide reinforcements, it may not be able to protect Xihai. Putting aside the evil dragons, the Naga tribe itself is a high-ranking tribe. If the whole tribe attacks, the possibility of the alliance stopping the evil dragon army in Xihai Province is not high.
Therefore, Zhang Mu must consider the future.
If the alliance fails to stop the Evil Dragon Legion, where should the underworld mercenaries develop? Will the Green Alliance allow the Terrans to evacuate the West Sea Province? There is a very important provision in the alliance's laws: During wartime, residents of war zones are not allowed to leave the war zone without permission, and front-line troops are not allowed to leave the battlefield without permission, otherwise they will be punished with the crime of defection.
In other words, if the Alliance does not issue an order for humans to evacuate, humans have no right to leave without permission. If Zhang Mu escapes with the Huangquan mercenaries, he will undoubtedly commit the felony of defection. From then on, he will be wanted by the Green Alliance and will no longer be able to find a major force to protect and develop.
"wood!"
"You are finally back!"
Zhang Mu directly parked the warship in Huangquan Castle.
Leng Yun, Lin Caiyan, Du Rongrong, and Chen Tingting rushed forward impatiently. Zhang Mu looked very miserable. The walk back was not very smooth. He was besieged by Naga troops several times and almost died outside.
"Are you injured?" Leng Yun couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Zhang Mu's behavior, and hurriedly shouted: "Caiyan, treat her quickly!"
Lin Caiyan quickly came up for treatment.
Du Rongrong ran over and scolded: "Why did you come back from the dead and didn't send a message to report that you were safe? Do you know how much everyone is worried about you?"
"What's so strange? Don't we still know who the boss is? His fate is tougher than that of a cockroach!" The fat man walked over with a big belly and asked: "Boss, everyone has been spreading rumors recently about what evil things are going on." A dragon is born, is this really possible?"
Everyone kept asking questions.
Zhang Mu was busy recovering and had no time to answer them one by one.
Leng Yun helped unload the seriously damaged equipment and sent it to the production department to be repaired by the blacksmith master.
"No matter the cost, the Demon Slayer Sword and Dragon Call suit must be repaired within 6 hours!" Zhang Mu cannot live without weapons and armor, because Zhonghai City is in a very dangerous situation, and everyone present is in a dangerous situation. "Leng Yun, you go purchase it. Production resources, recovery potions, auxiliary scrolls and other materials... use the treasury as you like, don't care about the price, don't care about spending money!"
"yes!"
Zhang Mu took out several dragon trees, and of course the dragon fruits were removed. "These are the dragon trees I found in the Devil's Sea. The leaves are high-quality potion materials. You can send them to the production department and let Su Qian refine them." For recovery potions, the more, the better.”
Lin Caiyan quickly sent the materials.
Although they didn't say it directly, everyone could feel the tense atmosphere.
Zhang Mu replenished potions and scrolls.
It took about three hours for Lei Ming to return to the castle. When he learned that Zhang Mu was back, he immediately rushed over with Ye Qianqiu and Xie.
"Old Hei, you came just in time." Zhang Mu said without waiting for thunder, "Check the Shuguang, fill it with energy, and prepare some warships and transport ships to start transferring the entire group's resources. In addition, Chuangyin mercenary groups in various cities , the Naga army began to attack the Green Alliance, Bianhai City has been destroyed, let everyone be prepared."
This sentence.
Like a bolt from the blue!
Fatty and Du Rongrong, who had been asking questions a moment ago, were all stunned. Qin Xiaoshi looked in disbelief. Bianhai City was actually destroyed. It was a city that was not inferior to Zhonghai City, or even slightly stronger than Zhonghai City.
Isn’t the Bright Mercenary Group stationed in Bianhai City...
Although Qin Xiaoshi and Chen Tingting switched jobs to the Huangquan Mercenary Group, after all, they had stayed in the Guangming Mercenary Group for a long time, so it was impossible for them to have no feelings at all. If the Bright Mercenary Group is destroyed, the two of them will definitely be very sad.
Zhang Mu guessed what the two women were thinking, and immediately said: "I informed Yang Guang before Bianhai City was attacked. The Guangming Mercenary Group may not have been destroyed, and maybe the group evacuated before the Evil Dragon Legion arrived."
Lin Caiyan took back her hand and Zhang Mu's injuries were all healed. She asked in confusion: "Bianhai City is a big city. If it is destroyed, it will definitely be explosive news. Why hasn't Zhonghai City received any news? "
"Bianhai City was destroyed not long ago. It takes time for the news to be transmitted, spread, verified, and then trigger a chain reaction. All cities in the West China Sea have more or less received the news, because it has not exploded yet. Zhonghai The city is about to be in chaos... Where is Qiao Weier? Has Qiao Weier come back? "
After Zhang Mu's injury was treated, he immediately left Huangquan Castle and headed to Qiao Weier's Castle. Qiao Weier was not in his castle.
Then we went to the castle of the city lord.
As soon as Zhang Mu entered the city lord's castle, he felt an abnormal atmosphere. All the guards in the city lord's palace were withdrawn. The city lord Josebei may have received news of the incoming Naga army. Qiao Sebei knew that it was impossible for Zhonghai City to resist the evil dragon army, so he secretly gathered the elite and began to prepare to abandon the city.
"Zhang Mu!"
A slightly sharp voice sounded.
Qiao Weier flapped her wings and appeared in front of her instantly like an afterimage. Compared with when she left the Devil's Sea, Qiao Weier has undergone some changes. Her aura has become stronger. Apparently, after experiencing the battle in the Devil's Sea, Qiao Weier once again broke through and now has reached the peak of Tianling's strength.
Qiao Weier is indeed a rare genius throughout the ages, her talent is almost comparable to that of the human race.
With the help of a Holy Spirit potion, Qiao Weier can cross over to the semi-Saint realm, and from Semi-Saint to Holy Spirit is an accumulation process, and there is no bottleneck to break through. If the talent is strong enough, the transition time will be short. If the talent is not enough, it will be very slow, and it will be difficult to make even an inch of progress in ten or eight years.
"You read that right! I broke through again!" Qiao Weier seemed completely unaware of the catastrophe Zhonghai City was about to face. "Why did you come back? Didn't you run into the seal? Why did the evil dragon come out? This matter troubles the governor.”
"It's hard to explain. Where is the city lord?"
As soon as Zhang Mu finished speaking, Qiao Sebei walked out, followed by Qiao Weier's mother.
"The investigator really has a way to escape from the Devil's Sea."
Zhang Mu said, "It seems that you already know what happened in Bianhai City."
Qiao Sebei frowned, nodded slowly and said, "I have asked the main city lord for instructions and am preparing to gather the army to protect the main city."
The implication of this sentence is that the main city also regards Zhonghai City as an abandoned son, and at the same time, it takes back Zhonghai City's troops and drives them all to garrison the main city. At the very least, the safety of the main city must be ensured.
A total of 20 million people.
Do you have to give up everything
Zhang Mu frowned slightly.
"Forced by the situation, I have no choice. I plan to ask Qiao Weier to inform the people in Huangquan. Since I am here in person, I don't have to make a trip. You go back to gather mercenaries, pack up resources, and come with us to the main city. For the time being. Don’t be discovered by outsiders. Now the people below Zhonghai City are beginning to feel uneasy. If there are any signs of evacuation from the higher-ups, panic will inevitably break out!”
"Since we are ready to give up, why should we be afraid of panic?" Zhang Mu sighed and said: "It is better to announce the news, provide some warships, distribute warehouse resources, and let the city residents escape! Maybe some people can escape. After you get out, it's better than being abandoned as a discarded child."
Qiao Weier didn't understand, "Why are you all saying strange things? Why do you want to abandon the citizens of Zhonghai City?"
Zhang Mu said directly: "After the evil dragon was born, the Naga army fully invaded the Xihai Province. Bianhai City was destroyed a few hours ago and was massacred. More than 80% of the city residents died."
"ah!"
Qiao Weier's eyes widened.
Josebe frowned and said: "A large group of enemy troops are attacking at full speed, and Zhonghai City is one of the targets. The farthest town within the jurisdiction of Zhonghai City was captured 30 minutes ago. There are about 150,000 Naga troops. There are 600,000 indigenous troops, plus more than 100,000 domesticated Warcraft and Sea Beast troops, equipped with advanced magic cannons, and led by two Naga half-saints. There is basically no suspense in this battle. The number of Zhonghai City troops is less than one million. The combat power is almost vulnerable to the Naga army. I was forced to make the decision to abandon the city and save the elite in the city for the decisive battle with the Naga army."
The city lord's wife quickly said: "The elite troops have been assembled. We don't have much time. Get ready to evacuate!"
Qiao Weier said: "Don't you need to take care of the lives of tens of millions of people in the city? This is your city! How can you be such a city lord! You are so irresponsible to the people of the city!"
Qiao Sebei looked helpless, looked at Zhang Mu and said, "Just do as you say!"
Sooner or later panic will break out.
"The Evil Dragon Legion is about to arrive, we must leave." Qiao Sebei paused and said, "Our fleet will be thousands of miles away from Zhonghai City and wait for 60 minutes. You can get out as soon as possible. Qiao Qiao, let's go!"
"I do not go!"
Qiao Weier started to get angry.
It's not like she gave up on Zhonghai City.
"Be obedient! I have promised Zhang Mu to start announcing the news and even open the warehouse to release resources so that the city residents can escape!"
Josebe drew away the elite troops and took away the most important material reserves in the warehouse. Other things could not be taken away anyway, and they would be taken away by Naga when the city was breached. It would be better to open the warehouse and distribute it all to the citizens, so that the citizens can get enough supplies and items to escape.
From another perspective, a large number of soldiers and civilians fled with a large amount of resources. Naga needed to disperse its forces to pursue and provide cover for Josebe's team.
Qiao Sebei forced Qiao Weier to leave. Zhang Mu returned to the castle to gather all the members of the Huangquan mercenary group, activated the Dawn, purchased a transport ship, and began to prepare for evacuation.
The city became noisy.
Word has spread.
As imagined, the whole city was shrouded in fear and uneasiness.
"The fleet is ready."
"Captain, all Fengyue mercenaries have received the fleet."
"We still have some supplies that we haven't had time to recycle!"
Zhang Mu took the repaired Demon Slayer Sword and Dragon Call Suit and said, "Okay, that's it, let's start evacuating!"
"not good!"
"An army appears in the west!"
"The evil dragon army has arrived!"
