Pan Yue and Fang Yang walked forward for a moment and then rejoined the large army. Since they were unsure of Sa Wu's next attack route, the two teams decided to split into two groups. The team led by Fang Yang went to the nearest city to evacuate civilians and
A defense line was set up, and Pan Yue led the special operations team directly to the first stronghold.
"Pan Yue, pay attention to the sky. I will launch a signal flare if necessary."
"good."
When Pan Yue first mastered black magic, he never dared to look up at the stars because of his resistance to his identity.
That starry sky that only Sons of Light believers can see.
But after several months of growth, he gradually understood what Fang Yang said to him at the beginning.
"Ability itself is not good or evil, the difference lies in the person who uses it. As long as you keep a kind heart, black magic can be used to do the right things."
After a hasty farewell, the special operations team immediately rushed to the stronghold.
This is a canyon that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Except for the narrow passage, there are cliffs everywhere, and the resistance army has already set up a defense line at the entrance.
The captain here is Guan Zhimin, who is about the same age as Fang Yang. His face is covered with scars from years of fighting with the White Walkers.
When Pan Yue and others arrived at the canyon, he was leading his men to check the blood of the evacuating civilians one by one. After seeing the special operations team, he just nodded slightly and continued busy with the work at hand.
"Is this Captain Guan?"
"Yes, you guys line up for a blood test before going in."
Guan Zhimin's indifferent attitude made Pan Yue a little uncomfortable. Upon seeing this, Zhao Quxie hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Captain Guan, I am Xiao Zhao, and this is General Pan Yue."
"Ok, I know."
"Then let's..."
"General Fang Yang has to check everything when he comes."
"..."
The four people looked at each other helplessly and had no choice but to line up at the back of the line.
After all, Pan Yue had been used to receiving cold looks for more than ten years, so she didn't pay much attention to this. On the contrary, the explorer was a little unhappy.
"Does Captain Guan look down on us?"
Fortunately, Zhao Quxie had grown up in the human resistance army since he was a child, and he knew more or less the personalities of the main members. He smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
"That's not true. He is just strict. When he is serious, he doesn't even give General Fang face."
"Forget it, it's not a bad thing to be strict at times like this."
Pan Yue originally thought that Guan Zhimin felt that his qualifications were not worthy of being the deputy commander. He was relieved after hearing what Zhao Quxie said. However, when the explorer saw Pan Yue's statement, he could only curl his lips and say nothing.
The civilians here used to live near Heping District, and many of their relatives and friends were killed in that incident. The shadow of life and death hung over their hearts, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
The four people lined up in silence at the end of the line to complete the blood test. Then they heard a huge dragging sound behind them, as the resistance forces dragged several heavy iron fences to seal the entrance to the canyon.
Only then did Guan Zhimin smile with relief and quickly walked up to the four of them.
"Everyone, it was just a routine matter, please forgive me."
Seeing his sincere attitude, Pan Yue and others didn't take it seriously. Under Zhao Quxie's introduction, the two parties briefly got to know each other, and then Guan Zhimin took them to the cliff of the canyon.
The view here is wide and the scene for several miles around is unobstructed. Members of the Resistance Army have already been waiting here with laser guns. They can definitely launch a fierce offensive before the White Walkers approach the canyon.
Despite this, everyone present understood that these advantages could only stop the alien demon.
In the face of Sawu's absolutely powerful power, it was only a matter of time before the canyon fell.
"To be honest, the Resistance Army and the Children of Light have been hostile for so many years. Now that I place my only hope on the enemy, I feel really uneasy."
Guan Zhimin sighed quietly as he spoke, and took out a silver wine bottle from his arms to drink a few sips.
Not only him, but many members of the Resistance Army have this idea, even Pan Yue is no exception.
But in the face of such a war where the power disparity is so disparate that it makes mankind despair, all they can choose is to trust each other.
"But General Fang Yang really trusts us Guan brothers. The canyon and the city wall are our best strongholds. The other two strongholds... To be honest, I don't expect it to be delayed for long."
It turns out that the captain guarding the last stronghold is his younger brother Guan Zhisheng. The two brothers guard the two most critical lines of defense respectively, which shows Fang Yang's trust in them.
Just as a few people were sighing and chatting, the sentry next to them suddenly heard an exclamation.
"General Guan, there is a group of humans running here. Wait a minute, behind... there are many alien demons behind!"
I saw a large group of black shadows moving quickly towards the canyon on the plain in the distance. Dozens of people were running in panic, followed by many ferocious alien demons. Some people who ran slowly were immediately caught by them.
Tear into pieces.
"The entire gun team shoots at the White Walkers. Try not to accidentally injure humans first. The rest of the team is following me!"
Following Guan Zhimin's command, a row of alien demons fell neatly under the laser gun, and those who fled finally put some distance between themselves and the God of Death.
When those people fled to the entrance of the canyon, the teams of Guan Zhimin and Pan Yue were already waiting there, and the iron fences were still blocking the intersection ruthlessly, leaving only a small gap for one person to pass through.
"Help! Let us in quickly!"
"Please!"
"I don't want to die yet!"
Facing the cries one after another, Guan Zhimin remained unmoved at all.
"Queue up for a blood test! Anyone who climbs the fence without permission will be treated as a surrender faction!"
Pan Yue couldn't bear it, so she leaned into his ear and whispered: "Captain Guan, the situation is urgent, why don't you let them in first and then check slowly?"
"No, if among these people there are believers who are possessed by Satan, the consequences will be disastrous. We are responsible for everyone behind us."
"All right."
Pan Yue knew that what he said was right, so she had no choice but to let those people be inspected one by one before entering the canyon.
"They...they're coming!"
A commotion suddenly broke out among the crowd outside the canyon, and the deafening footsteps in the distance were heard getting closer and closer. At this speed, it would be too late to check everything before the alien demon arrived.
"I would rather be treated as a capitulator than die in their hands!"
A man yelled and broke out of the group and ran straight for the fence.
"Stop! I'm warning you one last time!"
But fear had completely made the man lose his mind. He raised one foot and crossed the railing regardless of Guan Zhimin's dissuasion.
At the same time, a yellow beam penetrated his chest, a trace of black smoke came out of the wound, and then bright red blood spurted out.
civilian.
It was Guan Zhimin who took action. A trace of pain flashed across his face, but his tone was still irresistible.
"Quiet, line up, continue checking."
After learning this lesson, others no longer dare to act rashly, but the footsteps of the alien demon have scared some timid people to tears.
They are already less than a thousand meters away from the canyon.
At this time, Pan Yue suddenly walked to Zhao Quxie's side.
"Can you create a wind field to trap them?"
"It's okay if you get closer, but my ability shouldn't keep you trapped for too long."
"That's enough, you come with me. Explorer, Hu Lei, you stay here to help maintain order."
The teleportation bubble slowly enveloped Pan Yue and Zhao Quxie.
