Eight Desolate City.
A wave of beasts has just passed. Outside the towering city walls built by boulders, the bodies of humans and beasts are piled up into mountains, and the smell of fresh blood spreads in the air, which is very pungent.
There are several armored warriors on the city wall tower, full of suffocation, and they are giving orders to the people around them:
"The bodies of the dead soldiers were collected, and the fire was still the same as before."
"The bodies of the wild beasts and the primordial beasts are cleaned up, and they are all dissected and used."
"Families of dead warriors, they must live comfortably, and no one can be greedy for money! If anyone dares to bully the family members of those who died in battle, they will definitely be executed!"
Those warriors who were also covered in blood touched the blood on their faces and said loudly, "Yes! Lieutenant General!"
After that, they quickly left the city wall, commanded a group of surviving warriors, and plunged into the pile of corpses. And those lieutenants who just issued the order are not idle either. They are also counting the battle situation now, especially how many warriors fell in this battle, how much pension to prepare, how much food and grass are left, and whether the garrison in the city is strong. There is enough and so on, all of which cannot be ignored.
At this moment, their mood is not much better - even if they survived the beast tide once again, but their subordinates have also lost countless good players.
Such a loss makes them very sad.
When the lieutenants were walking down the city wall, a soldier in armor suddenly came galloping on a wild horse, and stopped in front of them.
Then the armored soldier jumped down and said after salute: "Report to all lieutenants, there is news from the Ten Absolutes City, and the next guardian will be here soon."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the lieutenants turned a little ugly.
These Eight Desolate Cities are always facing the threat of alien races and beast tides. Almost all young adults are always on the verge of life and death, even if the whole continent is dominated by the weak and the relationship between human life and life is constant, the people in their frontier land, their behavior and other Most of the people in the city are still very different.
In other words, they were originally a little xenophobic, and the guardians dispatched from above were logically on the same level as the city lord, and they couldn't stop it.
Moreover, if the people sent are very capable, that’s all, it’s their help to a certain extent, and it can be regarded as an added strength to them. But today's situation is not like that.
If the warriors in the Ascension Realm grew up from the Eight Desolate City, they would already be able to stand on their own.
This "good and bad" refers not to aptitude, but to their adaptability.
It has been many years since the Eight Desolate City was located here. Perhaps in the very early days, the guardians sent were very capable, or there were some outstanding characters in the middle of the time period, but at present, there have been four or five guardians in succession. , are all useless.
What a horrible use of this
Specifically in:
First, although the individual strength is good, it is a pity that the level of group warfare is low, and it is easy to ask for help in the beast tide;
Second, when I came to guard, I also brought many concubines and beauties. Although I was a little ambitious at the beginning, but when the people in the city tried to take them up, they fell into a slump.
Third, they only know how to practice martial arts. Although their combat power is good, it is a pity that they can only be a thug, and they are also exploited by aliens;
Fourth, the self-esteem is very high, the ability is insufficient, and he likes to point fingers;
fifth…
In a word, the four or five guards will all commit one or more of the above, which will wear down the patience of the warriors of the Eight Desolate City.
In particular, the previous one gave the Eight Desolate City warriors the worst feeling.
He was a martial artist with a low level of Ascension Realm. He was qualified as an elite genius, but because of his personality and various reasons, he had offended some people in the sect. So seeing that he had no mission, the Eight Desolate City just happened to be vacant. Can't wait to kick people over.
The result can be imagined, the guard's force value is not bad, but he goes his own way, refuses to listen to the opinions of others, and because he was kicked over, he feels resentful, and wants to do something big immediately so that he can go back and slap others in the face— It's not wrong to think so, but it's not right for him to be greedy for merit.
What if I didn't wait, I didn't even do serious inquiring about the information, this man just wanted to stab the alien ant's nest, and he fell into the encirclement of the alien race. Later, in order to rescue the guard, not only did he bring All of his subordinates died, and the helpers sent by the Eight Desolate City also suffered heavy casualties.
He finally rescued the person, but this person still does not repent. He thinks that his luck is just bad, and he does not admit that his ability is not good. After that, he continues to do it, and often does not say that he can’t help himself. He was always pulling his back, so that the city lord of the Eight Desolate City couldn't bear to send someone to take care of him.
But... how should I put it, no matter how problematic a person is, he may not have a friend.
Because the guard was kicked over, his only friend came to visit because he was very worried about him. During the visit, he found that the guard was being guarded, and he was told a few times by the guard. Thinking that it was the problem of the Eight Desolate City, he decided to help him make contributions and let him out.
The result is naturally...
At that time, a wave of beasts that was bigger than usual happened. Everyone was fighting bravely against those beasts. The guardian and his friends appeared directly on the battlefield, causing quite a commotion.
Many Primordial Beasts have intelligence, especially because they are mainly driven by the Blue Eyes, so they soon discovered that the Eight Desolate City, which formed the killing machine, had a flaw, and used the existence of the guards as a breakthrough.
The people of Eight Desolate City didn't want to care about the guards, but the guards are also a signboard, and the people in the public are in crisis, no matter what
As a result, not only was the beast horde more difficult to deal with, but in the end, the guardian was not able to save his life... As for the guardian's friend, under such circumstances, he was implicated and died.
He was killed in less than a year, and the keeper simply set a record.
However, after the death of the current guardian, the beast tide has not been completely repelled, and the Eight Desolate City has not been relieved for a few days. The simple information of the new guardian has been informed.
The new guardian has just broken through to the Ascension Realm, which is a small entry-level realm. You must know that the task of the Eight Desolate City has a high mortality rate. Being kicked over so impatiently, it is too similar to the previous guardian. !
… The lieutenants were quite happy when the old guardian died. I just hope that the new one will not be too cumbersome. I didn’t expect the new one to be worse in strength and maybe even worse in character. How could they be so happy? stand up
But... still can't help but accept it.
Thinking of this, the lieutenants felt depressed.
The beast tide has finally passed, and the new guardians are about to arrive, and they will probably have to live a hell of a life again.
I just hope that this one will die soon.
It's better to die faster, and try not to cause them such a big loss like the last time.
but…
Depressed is depressed, unhappy is unhappy, since people are here, they have to go over to greet them at the level of lieutenants, and they have to adjust their expressions so that they cannot be seen.
I have to say that although most of the people in the Eight Desolate City are iron-blooded men, they are not completely ignorant.
It is true that they can make a fortune after attacking the alien race to solve the beast tide, but their expenses are also very large, in order to defend the city, in order to keep the safety of ordinary people, in order to survive under the persecution of alien races, ten The support of the Absolute Sect is essential, and even many times, they rely on the resources allocated by the Ten Absolute Sects to support the continuous consumption.
In this case, the Eight Desolate City certainly has to give face to the Ten Sects, let alone the existence of the guardians.
Because when these guardians come every three years, when they bring a batch of resources, they can't say that they have taken other people's things and are so hypocritical...
After looking at each other, the lieutenants hurried back to take a bath.
After bathing and cleaning themselves up, they had to wait at the gate of the city, lest people arrive but no trace of them could be seen.
About half an hour later, all the lieutenants were ready and came to the City Lord's Mansion together.
At this moment, a burly big man walked out of the house. He was wearing heavy armor, and he was fierce and suffocating. His originally upright face was very fierce against this backdrop.
He is the Lord of the Eight Desolate City, named Wu Zhenhuang.
After the lieutenants stood still, they saw a few more people following behind the city lord. Some of them were elegant in appearance, some were cold in appearance, and some were thin but firm... These were the city lord's aides and disciples. The habits of different races, because of these habits, he gave the city owner a lot of ideas, and also avoided many dangers for the Eight Desolate City. Moreover, they will not only come up with ideas, but also go to the battlefield to kill those evil beasts and alien races without mercy. Such a combination of wisdom and martial arts makes the lieutenants admire them very much.
However, they now have to come out with the city lord to meet the guardian who is likely to be a straw bag to them, and must not be neglected in the slightest.
The lieutenants respect the city lord and the people around him very much, and thinking about it now makes him depressed again.
Then, the city owner said: "Everyone, follow me to the city gate and welcome the guards!"
The lieutenants and those aides also raised their voices in unison:
"Order!"
"Yes! City Lord!"
Soon, everyone rode the unique double-horned unicorn horse of the Eight Desolate City, like a line of fire, quickly rushed to the gate of the city.
They sat on horses, looked into the distance, and waited silently.
Time passes little by little...
One hour, two hours, three hours.
At noon, the sun is high and the breeze is silent.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the numerous double-horned unicorn horses. If they hadn't experienced hundreds of battles, they would have been shocked by the shaking of the ground!
Yes, the ground shook violently.
The neat sound of animal hooves sounded from a distance, constantly approaching, and looking up, it was a black tide.
The surge comes.
