A man in the ark was forced to become a king

The Golden Tree strain is different. That thing is a medium at best, but a nail at worst. Putting such a thing on the extremely important Yumen border must go through many considerations. It doesn't mean that it can be planted. Sown.

Even if the old Heavenly Master has a very high status and has enough voice, he cannot push forward by himself. In the end, he still has to consider the reaction of the court.

They didn't get the nodes right, so Lin Lu had no choice but to walk over there.

As for driving here...

The geographical conditions on the Yumen side are more complex. It is impossible to go as fast as on the plains, and you may encounter a lot of troubles. If you are pursuing speed, it is better to walk in a straight line with two legs - provided that there are enough people using this method. Strong and fast enough.

There is no doubt that Lin Lu and Ling are both strong men who can match the speed of a high-speed off-road vehicle.

With the continuous replenishment of golden power, the physical energy required to just rush is almost negligible.

The two of them set out from Longmen in the morning and saw the shadow of Yumen before evening.

And...the deep shadow even further away.

-------------------------------------

The Jade Gate is closed, and the armored soldiers stand on the city wall, guarding all directions in an orderly manner. In the distance outside the gate, dark clouds are pressing down on the country. Looking up, it seems that there is an abyss in front of it, and it is blurry.

A general in military uniform stood at the top of the city with a solemn expression. The entire Jade Gate seemed to be filled with the oppression of an approaching storm.

Deng Deng Deng!

The sound of dense footsteps came from far away. Yumen guard Zuo Xuanliao looked at the sound. A group of people dressed in different clothes rushed to the top of the city regardless of the soldiers' obstruction. Led by an old man carrying a hammer, Come straight this way.

"..."

Zuo Xuanliao waved his hand, indicating that the soldiers did not need to stop him anymore. He turned around, closed his eyes and opened them again, taking in a breath that could not be detected.

"Assault on the military formation, what are you doing?"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, not angry but mixed with a trace of unconcealable exhaustion.

The demons have been attacking the city on a large scale, which has not happened in a hundred years. Although except for the first wave of attacks, the monsters have not invaded on a large scale in the past few days. They are just entrenched in the wind and sand outside the city. However, the heavy pressure is still about to destroy him, the defender. It was so stressful that I couldn't breathe.

Not only are foreign enemies ahead, storms are coming.

Even more because he knew that no reinforcements would come from Yumen.

Ordinary armies have little effect against evil spirits, and may even have the opposite effect. The experts in the imperial court are hampered by the chaos in the country. Talented people and strangers in the world cannot be gathered overnight.

For a long time in the future, Yumen will have to fight alone.

As the guard of Yumen Pass, Zuo Xuanliao knows what this means better than anyone else.

A lonely city, fighting against evil spirits alone, without reinforcements or supplies, how long can they hold on?

The evil spirits are strange and can't be killed, but the soldiers can die or be injured.

When the defenders of the city suffer heavy casualties and their supplies are exhausted, the city will be broken.

The majestic pass that has stood in the desert for thousands of years is likely to be destroyed soon.

This time, it is neither a natural disaster nor a man-made disaster. The majestic Jade Gate, tens or hundreds of miles in radius, has become a dangerous place full of dangers, and no one can be immune to it.

Faced with a catastrophe, the only thing he could do was to seize the opportunity and send the Yumen garrison to escort the civilians out of the city and let them return to the Yan Kingdom.

However, first of all, the defenders had a limited number of transport vehicles available, which were not enough.

Whenever he thought about what would happen once the Yumen was breached, Zuo Xuanliao felt as if a big stone was pressing down on his heart, and he couldn't breathe. When he opened and closed his eyes, all he saw was rivers of blood and corpses scattered everywhere.

The evil monsters never reason with others.

"General Zuo, long time no see."

Without the obstruction of the sergeant, the leading old man and a group of Jianghu people behind him walked closer, stared for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Meng Tieyi! Do you know what you are doing!"

Zuo Xuanliao, who used to be intangible with emotion and anger in the past, was really angry this time. His words were full of anger, and his whole person was like a tiger about to explode, with overwhelming momentum.

"General Zuo, let's defend the city."

Meng Tieyi's expression remained unchanged, and the Jianghu Ke behind him also nodded.

"Defend the city? Yumen has its own defenders."

Zuo Xuanliao's chest rose and fell, calming down his anger, and said in a loud voice: "I have already issued a military order. The civilians in Yumen City, the elderly and the weak, are given priority. They will go out of the city and return home with the army. Why don't you listen and are still here to mess around and disrupt military affairs?"

"General Zuo, how can we people talk about returning home?"

Meng Tieyi said nothing. A slightly older Feilin tribe member stepped out from behind him. A ferocious scar ran from top to bottom on his open clothes, which almost separated the whole person.

He stared at Zuo Xuanliao, his words were not urgent, but had a firm flavor.

"This is our home. If others can leave, how can we leave? Where are we going?"

"With the current situation, even if you, General Zuo, deliberately conceal it, can you still hide it from everyone's eyes?"

"This Yumen City was defended by us old guys and those old guys with fists and kicks. How many people's blood was shed to achieve today's stability."

"Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, how can we abandon the city and flee? Even if we die, we have to die in this Yumen City!"

"Meng Tieyi, do you think so too?"

Zuo Xuanliao's palms behind his back were squeezed so hard that his veins popped out. His eyes fell on the leading old man and he asked in a deep voice.

"..."

Meng Tieyi did not answer, but the expression on his face said everything.

Not only did he not retreat, but he took a step forward, and everyone behind him followed suit.

On the city wall, both sides refused to retreat, and the atmosphere became stagnant.

-------------------------------------

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Above the desert, filled with smoke and dust, a dozen soldiers armed with steel guns and fully armored stood back to back, with black and red blood dripping from the tips of their guns.

The armor on their bodies had already been damaged a lot, and red blood was seeping out, and their heavy breathing echoed.

Around them, corpses were covered with wind and sand. There were soldiers also wearing armor, and there were also monsters with distorted bodies.

Many beasts with wolf-like bodies and wriggling black tentacles were surrounding them, whimpering softly, as if looking for a suitable opportunity.

"Ugh..."

A pack of wolves surrounded him, and the stalemate lasted for tens of seconds. With a low whimper, the wolves swarmed forward.

"Ow!!!"

Suddenly, a high-pitched dragon roar exploded, and the green light spread out for more than ten meters. The blue dragon shadow swam out from the clear light, and with a flick of its tail, it swept aside all the wolves that rushed towards it.

"Are you all right?"

Above the blue dragon's head, the white boots fell down, and Ling flashed out holding a coiled dragon lantern staff, lowered his head and asked.

"No, nothing."

As if frightened by the sudden appearance of the dragon shadow, the soldiers stumbled and shook their heads.

"That's good."

Ling nodded slightly, waved the light stick, and the dragon shadow hovered. The thick ink-like shadow spread along the ground. With one stretch and one roll, it rolled up the wolves that had been swept to the ground. The dragon's mouth didn't know when it held a giant green and white weapon. Sword, sword light flashed, and all the alienated wolves entangled in flesh and blood were cut off from it.

"As far as I know, Yumen Pass should be closed at this time. Why are you here?"

The dragon shadow dispersed, Ling fell to the ground, glanced at the tragic scene here, and sighed inaudibly.

"Sir, we were ordered to escort the civilians in the city back home. When we got here, we were besieged by a herd of alien beasts. We fought and retreated. After the convoy broke through, the few of us stayed behind."

The soldiers looked at each other, and a soldier who seemed to be the leader walked out. He cupped his fists and saluted Ling, and gave an explanation.

This answer made Ling stunned, and then he looked at the misty city shadow in the distance.

It's not a good sign for civilians to return home.

Doing so means that the person who ordered the order already knew that the Jade Gate could not be defended, so he sent the civilians in the city out in advance.

"The guard of Yumen is not afraid of causing panic in the city by doing this?"

Lin Lu walked out of the wind and sand and casually threw a big guy that was several times larger than other alienated wolves to the ground, feeling a little puzzled.

"Any city in the world needs to worry about whether it will cause panic, but Yumen does not."

Ling shook his head, seeming to explain, but also seeming to sigh.

"Most of the people who stop at Yumen Pass are the defenders of the city, or the descendants of the defenders, or knights from the world."

"When you step on the Jade Gate, you have realized in your heart that if the city is defeated one day, the Jade Gate will fight to the last person."

"This lord is right."

The leading soldier took off the broken visor and threw it aside. He leaned down and dragged the body of the dead soldier out of the wolf corpse. what happened?"

"There are some things that we know very well, but no one has said it. We are escorting civilians, most of whom are old and weak. There are not many young and strong men left."

"Everyone is holding back a lot of energy in his heart. A strong enemy is knocking on the door. How can there be any reason to flee without fighting?"

"Where the people are, the city is here!"

"Okay! I'm so alone in the city!"

Lin Lu gave them a thumbs up, raised her hand gently, and the invisible force rolled up the wolf corpses and swept them together. The fire suddenly appeared, and the orange-red flames instantly burned the stacked corpses to ashes.

Without the cover of the dead alienated wolves, all the dead soldiers were revealed. There were 23 people in total, some of whom had their bodies torn apart and their flesh and blood chewed open. It was extremely cruel.

However, these people all held their weapons tightly in their hands, and none of them let go until their death.

"Pity."

With a sigh, Lin Lu glanced at the battlefield, raised her palm, and squeezed it suddenly.

call!

In an instant, the pale fire representing death swept out, passing by the astonished soldiers, and then recovered quickly.

Many vague shadows appeared in the spiritual fire, and were rolled up into the open palm, converging into a pale fireball the size of a fist.

With a flash of gold in his hand, the fireball was extinguished. Lin Lu leaned over and picked up one of the corpses, carrying it behind her back with a slightly low voice.

"Let's go north to Yumen Pass."

Chapter 1 I’m here, this is the solution

It's the New Year, and many cities in the Yan Kingdom have gradually set up a festive atmosphere, including Longmen and Shang Shu.

But Yumen didn't have that kind of atmosphere, there was just an extremely suppressed sense of chilling.

Thick clouds came from the yellow sand desert, so vast that there was no end in sight.

Standing in the wind and sand, the Iron City consolidated itself, and all visible parts were covered with thick metal armor, with almost no gaps.

I don't know which battle left traces on the walls made of fine steel. Black and purple blood stains were smeared in large areas, and the depressions were connected together, showing the strength of the enemy.

The blood stains smeared on the city walls even corroded the fine steel to create tiny holes.

The Yumen Pass, which has entered a state of closed preparation for war, is no longer open to daily access. Regardless of whether scouts leave the pass or civilians return home, anyone who needs to enter or exit the city can only go through the gondola of a large crane.

This was Lin Lu's first time using such equipment.

He carried the corpses of the two soldiers on his shoulders and stood on the slowly rising lifting platform. As his sight rose, he looked into the distance and saw the gloomy shadow hiding behind the wind and sand.

The black cloud overwhelms the city and wants to destroy it.

The place where evil spirits and alien species lurk is probably only a few miles away from Yumen Pass.

This distance is already very far for ordinary people, but when placed on those large evil spirits with different shapes, it is simply close at hand and can be reached in an instant.

Even though they were dormant several miles away, Lin Lu could feel the gloomy and rancid smell coming towards her face while standing on the lifting platform.

That is not physical decay, but the impact of the evil power itself.

Living in such an environment for a long time, ordinary people will be gradually corrupted if they cannot persist for too long. That kind of corruption starts from the inside out, starting from the spiritual will and finally spreading to the physical body.

Therefore, the soldiers with Yumen closed could not leave the city for a long time to conduct deep operations and could only stay in the city to defend it.

Approaching the city wall, Lin Lu could feel the weak energy fluctuations covering the city wall.

Unsurprisingly, after Yumen has been fighting evil monsters for so many years, there must be some means to deal with the evil monsters' erosion. It may not be very effective, but at least it can ensure the needs of normal operations.

Otherwise, how many people in the Yan Kingdom could fill this bottomless pit?
