"… "
Well, now... the sudden withdrawal of the army and the looming collapse of the mountains have dumbfounded those who refused to leave.
“Take us away!”
Someone on the ground began to shout towards the sky, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Please, take us away!"
The sky was filled with turbulent clouds. The Wu Alliance's army withdrew in the first wave, the Xinghun army withdrew in the second wave, and the Taoist Alliance's army withdrew in the last wave, covered in wounds...
Flying away in waves.
But no one looked down.
Is it pitiful
Pitiful!
They are about to become food for the demons, but they are also living lives. As fellow human beings, how can we not feel pity for them
But, do they deserve sympathy? No!
There must be something hateful about pitiful people, and they are just that kind of hateful pitiful people!
This question has a very clear and definite answer.
If we stop now and take the people here with us, all those who are left will be torn to pieces by the demons!
And... the biggest possibility is: if the army stops and takes these people away, these people will probably feel hope and won't leave anymore: if the army stays, why should we leave
Master Lei closed his eyes and ordered the entire army to retreat at full speed!
Then there was a deafening roar of curses!
"You have been high and mighty all your life, what a shameless person!"
"You have been eating the blood and sweat of the people and enjoying the support of our taxpayers, but when the time comes, you want to escape!"
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
"Is this still our army? Is this still our soldiers? Ugh!"
"I was so blind that I paid taxes for nothing for so many years!"
"You are so shameless that you are afraid of death!"
"… "
The shouts and curses echoed for thousands and tens of thousands of miles!
The soldiers of the Dao Alliance who had fought bloody battles at the front were all covered in scars. They kept their mouths shut in frustration and retreated with their heads down. Countless of them had tears on their faces.
They really tried their best.
But... what can we do now
Who to blame
Although the top leaders made wrong decisions, our coalition forces from the three continents, especially the soldiers of the Dao Alliance, bought two months of buffer time with their lives, which was enough time for everyone to evacuate.
After two months of bloody fighting, the coalition forces suffered tens of millions of casualties. Could this be fake?!
We fought hard to buy you time to retreat...
If you won't leave of your own accord, and you won't leave even when you're pointed at me with a knife, and you're determined to die here, then just stay here... Do we have to let all the soldiers die here just because you refuse to leave
Your lives are human lives, but our soldiers' lives are not lives? !
Although everyone knows and understands this truth, and everyone knows right from wrong, the reality remains that the army has abandoned the common people.
How can we bear this heavy moral condemnation, and speak without regrets and with a clear conscience, even if we know that the decision to withdraw is correct
Can you really feel at peace when you wake up from a dream at midnight
The wind and clouds changed, the army rushed past, and left in a cloud of dust...
On the top of the mountain.
Demonic flames soared into the sky, and countless demons flew up in a black mass, rushing towards this side...
The originally quiet and peaceful place of residence is about to become a hell, and even... all living things will be extinct, and not even a blade of grass will grow!
Everyone looked at the sky in despair, hoping for a miracle to happen and the sudden arrival of the savior.
Until his vision was obscured by the hideous figure of the demon.
When the body was cut open, when the hot blood flowed from the chest, when the relatives screamed, they became food in the mouths of the demons... While screaming, they were devoured alive...
Everyone regretted it!
If they could do it again, they would definitely migrate back when the first retreat and migration order was issued...
But... life will not come back.
People always regret at the last moment, but when the time comes, what's the point of regretting at the last moment!
It's already too late to regret!
For those who evacuated, the casualties of tens of millions of soldiers were meaningful.
But for those who stayed behind... those soldiers who died in the battle, they almost died with their eyes open: If you don't leave, then what's the point of the time we fought so hard to buy? !
…
Sirius Pass.
Although this pass is much lower than the high mountains of the Plague Coast, it is still easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The high mountains on both sides act like barriers, and the only passage is the plain area less than a thousand miles in the middle.
During this period of time, countless heroic predecessors from the Dao Alliance stepped forward regardless of the consequences and transformed their flesh and blood into new heroic souls.
The restricted airspace area has also been densely arranged.
The Witch Alliance army, led by the twelve great witches, roared past without stopping for a moment.
They respect, honor, sympathize with, and even admire the Star Soul Army.
However, he had absolutely no favorable feelings towards the Dao Alliance, let alone any respect for it.
The following Star Soul Army also did not stop at all, and rushed away, smashing the clouds in the sky into pieces.
They all have more important tasks and their own defenses to build. The war has just begun. If they were to mourn the sacrifices or impending sacrifices in battle now, there would be no need to do anything else. Time is running out for us!
Zuo Changlu and other senior executives stopped for a while and said goodbye to Fire Taoist and Cloud Taoist, simply because they would never see each other again, so they said their final goodbye to these two old friends!
Huoyun and the other two will lead the six heavenly kings of the Taoist Alliance and 20 million troops to stay here and fight a desperate battle with the demons.
Everyone knows that these 20 million soldiers will never return to Xinghun alive.
This farewell is indeed the final farewell, the final... farewell!
Lei Daoren and others felt as if their hearts were being cut by a knife. They held the hands of their two brothers with red eyes.
The Seven Swordsmen of the Taoist Alliance, friends since childhood, have reached the pinnacle of the Taoist Alliance together. Their friendship has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and they have shared the world together. Unexpectedly, today would be the day of farewell. It is true that the world is like a game of chess, with unpredictable destiny. The future... is unknown.
"Boss, from now on, the Dao League... will be handed over to you. You must take good care of yourself." Taoist Yun smiled, looking very carefree.
"Brother!" Lei Daoren's voice trembled a little.
"We must do our best to make up for the mistakes we made, so let us do it, Boss. The people of the Dao Alliance behind you still rely on you. The migration strategy... If there are stubborn people, let them go. It is important for people to save themselves. Those who don't know how to love themselves will die. Don't drag it out. Now is the time of war and danger. It is the time for our generation to do our best."
"I see."
"Brothers, it may sound cheesy to say that we will meet again in the next life, but I still want to say, it's cheesy so be it!"
Taoist Fire and Taoist Cloud bowed to the other five swords and said, "In this life, it is really happy to be with you brothers. I am afraid we will have to go first, you... remember to take good care of yourselves, no, you must, take good care of yourselves!"
When they said the last few words, their voices couldn't help but tremble.
The brotherhood that has lasted for tens of thousands of years, and the separation today, is more than just a sigh!
Taoist Lei, Taoist Feng and the others felt their throats were blocked and said hoarsely, "Brother, take care!"
Taoist Yun smiled faintly and turned to look at Zuo Changlu: "Although I have always been selfish over the years, I am not a blind person when it comes to the overall situation. Even if you ask me about the selfish things I did before, I still have no regrets in my heart."
"I was the one who suggested to assassinate your son. I may have done something wrong. However, I know my character. If I had to do it again, I would probably do the same thing. Because I am really jealous of talented people. It's my nature, and I don't regret it."
Taoist Yun smiled carefreely: "However, I will not regret staying here to fight the demons to the death today. Your Majesty, although I am a villain, I am a real villain. I cannot be considered a hero, but today, even if I have to force myself to be a hero, I will be a hero for once!"
Zuo Changlu groaned for a while, and said: "You staying here today is a heroic act. However, I have no right to forgive the mistakes you made before. In short, you and I have known each other for a long time, and I only wish you... to live happily and die heroically!"
Taoist Yun laughed loudly: "It may be difficult to live happily, but it is definitely possible to die heroically."
Zuo Changlu also laughed loudly, clasped his hands and said, "Today we say goodbye, and all our grudges and friendships are gone. If there is an afterlife, we can be friends again, or enemies again!"
With a long laugh, Zuo Changlu tore through space with one hand, flashed in, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
He stayed just to say goodbye.
And the last period of time should be left for them to spend time with their brothers.
How could Zuo Changlu not understand this bit of social etiquette, so he just gave some instructions and left without hesitation.
"You all should leave quickly, I need to organize the army and prepare for battle!" Taoist Yun and Taoist Huo urged them with a ruthless heart.
They knew that if they didn't drive their brothers away, when the demon army attacked and the real fighting started, these brothers would be even more reluctant to leave!
The demon army has the Demon Ancestor in charge. If things go wrong, the Seven Swords of the Taoist Alliance will become history.
It would be better to leave only the two of them, hoping that the Demon Ancestor would respect his status and not fight in person. This way, the two of them, as well as the 20 million people under their command, could buy as much buffer time as possible for the rear.
"Brother!" Taoist Feng felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and tears welled up in his eyes.
"The demon army is about to arrive. Are you sure you want to abandon the overall situation and stay with us here to indulge in romance?"
The Taoist Fire said angrily, "If that's the case, then what's the point of the two of us staying here and dying willingly?"
Under the urging of Taoist Fire and Taoist Cloud, the other five swordsmen of the Taoist Alliance led the army away, looking back every few steps!
Before Huoyun and the other man could say anything, they immediately split up, reorganized their troops and prepared for battle.
The 20 million remaining troops were divided into three waves. The first wave of troops quickly filled the Heroic Soul Pass and all restricted air areas.
Before the second and third waves of troops had finished reorganizing, the dark shadows of the demon army appeared in the distance, like an overwhelming dark cloud, pressing towards this side.
