In the early morning, as soon as the sun shone in through the window, there were rapid footsteps outside Cai Ya's house.
"Ka" two long swords blocked the way of the hurriedly running soldiers. The guard guarding the door immediately said: "The Duke is still resting, please don't disturb him."
The soldier looked anxious and shouted loudly at the door: "Duke, Duke..."
The two soldiers guarding the door got angry and pointed their swords at them, "Shut up."
"What's the matter? It's so noisy." At this time, Cai Ya's dissatisfied voice came from the house.
Upon hearing Cai Ya's movement, the soldier shouted several more times, "Duke, Duke..."
With a creaking sound, Cai Ya's door was opened. Cai Ya looked at the soldier in front of him angrily, "You came outside my house early in the morning and shouted, you don't want to live anymore."
"Ouch" the soldier's face turned red. "Duke... something big happened."
When Cai Ya heard this, he immediately became unhappy. "What's the big deal? What's the big deal? You want to come outside my house and disturb my rest..." But Cai Ya followed and realized that this soldier was not a guard in his house. He squinted his eyes carefully.
After looking at it, he asked, "You seem to be a close confidant of Seroda?"
"That's right, Duke, come with me quickly. The master asked me to come to you and ask you to enter the palace now." The soldier still looked anxious, hoping that Cai Ya could enter the palace with him as soon as possible.
Seeing the anxious look of the soldiers, Cai Ya felt uncomfortable. Even if he was Seroda's confidant, he was just a soldier in front of him. Wasn't this embarrassing himself in front of his own guards? Don't be in a hurry.
Said: "What can happen to Seroda? He has to let me enter the palace now. And he didn't come himself, but he asked you to come and invite me. Huh?" He waved his hand and walked into the room. "Wait for me to get dressed slowly."
Clothes, wash your face and leave with you."
"Ouch," the soldier stamped his feet, almost crying, and said hurriedly: "I can't wait any longer, Duke. Please follow me into the palace. Aoshan Town has fallen. The king and Lord Seroda are waiting for you in the palace.
Let’s go discuss it.”
"What?" Cai Ya raised his voice and asked, "What has fallen? Please explain it clearly to me."
"Helev has attacked Aoshan Town last night. Only a woman and a child came back alive to report. I don't know when they will attack Ding'ao City. Duke, please follow me into the palace." The soldier was already eager to pick up Cai Ya.
He ran to the palace.
"tmd..." Cai Ya looked at the sky outside the house and shouted fiercely: "Quick, quick, quick, enter the palace, enter the palace." With her hair still messy, she put on a robe and walked out quickly.
Go, the soldiers followed closely behind, the two got into the carriage and hurried to the palace.
Cai Ya entered the palace and came to the king's study room, where he saw Abel and Seroda looking worried.
"What's wrong?" Cai Ya asked immediately: "Did that guy Yabuti really come over?"
Abel raised his head, looked at Cai Ya, and sighed: "Yes, my eldest brother still doesn't give up on me. It seems that he wants me to die so that he can feel at ease."
"md" Cai Ya immediately scolded: "Back then we fled here and built Ding'ao City, and everyone kept the same. I didn't expect that after all these years, he wouldn't give up and has been training the army. Also, I heard
Is it true that only a woman and a child are alive among the civilians in Aoshan Town who came back to report the news?"
"It's true." Seroda said with a heavy face. "Bah, these beasts don't even spare children and old people. They killed hundreds of people in Aoshan Town overnight.
"md" When Cai Ya heard that he was really dead, he sat down on the chair. He seemed to see the scene of civilians dying tragically in front of his eyes. He closed his eyes and looked a little sad. "With the current strength of Ding'ao City, I'm afraid.
No match for Helevshi."
"Cai Ya..." Seroda called out softly and said: "Abel and I both know, so we came to you to discuss whether there is any way to retreat from the enemy."
"Hehehe..." Cai Ya smiled awkwardly, "Among the three of us, only two of us have the strength. But when I was trying to save Yabul, I was seriously injured, and all my fighting spirit was gone. To say that this Ding Ao
In the city, among the Guards, the only one who can reach the level of a great swordsman is Oransi. To put it bluntly, the number of troops is just over 10,000. In the past few years, Lev has been rapidly expanding his army. These
Years ago, the army numbered at least 20,000. If I were asked to think of a way, I couldn't do anything. If we had to escape, it would not be easy with so many civilians in Ding'ao City."
"Yes." Abel looked out the window at the entire Ding'ao City. This peaceful life would be broken one day.
Seroda looked out the window and suddenly saw mercenaries on the street, and immediately said: "I think we might be able to hire mercenaries."
"Haha..." Cai Ya immediately laughed and said, "Zeloda, this is not a good idea."
"How do you say that?" Seroda asked.
Cai Ya followed the mercenary that Zeloda was looking at and said: "Mercenaries have different levels of strength. They can fight monsters, but when it comes to war, it is not a one-on-one thing. They fight one-on-one on the battlefield.
Facing hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of enemies, they may not be able to bear the sense of oppression. Furthermore, mercenaries are only for money. They will not risk their lives to fight on the field, because in
In their minds, Ding'ao City is just a place where they earn commissions, not their home."
"Zeloda, what Cai Ya said is not unreasonable. Mercenaries are not a good idea." Abel said lightly: "Zeloda, send the order, close the city gates, archers, and guard the city walls. Now
The woman who reported the morning letter learned that the legion that attacked Aoshan Town last night had at least a thousand people. Although it was not a large force, this vanguard legion might attack first. Although we are not afraid of the thousands-man legion, we are still afraid.
To reduce the damage to Ding'ao City."
"Hehe..." Seroda smiled, "I didn't expect that after so many years since the battle, I would still be able to fight against the enemy at my age, hahaha." He walked out of the study while laughing.
Caiya and Abel were at the top of the palace, looking out of the window as Seroda rode the flame horse and ran out of the palace.
"Drive..." Seroda slapped the Yanju horse's butt and galloped all the way towards the city gate.
The soldiers at the city gate heard the galloping hooves of the Yanju horse from afar. Everyone turned their heads and looked over, only to see Seroda riding the Yanju horse, charging towards them.
Seroda pulled the rope, and the Yanju horse raised its front hooves and stopped immediately.
The guard at the city gate hurriedly walked towards Seroda, "Sir."
"Yes." Seroda responded and said, "Take care of my horse."
"My lord," the guard said, taking the saddle and watching Seroda climb the city wall.
When the guards on the city wall saw Seroda, they immediately saluted. Seroda waved his hand and said, "The king has given an order to close the city gate immediately. Archers and the city wall are on guard. If any enemy troops appear, the sentry will report immediately.
"
"Yes" a group of soldiers said in unison.
At the top of the palace, Cai Ya and Ya Bu Er looked at the closed city gate. Ya Bu Er said: "Cai Ya, I am also old. If I can't defeat Ya Buti's army this time, I won't be able to run away.
Let me and Ding'ao City live and die together."
"Hehe..." Cai Ya smiled: "What are you worrying about? Don't you still have me? I'll be with you."
Abel smiled slightly and said: "Catmu went to the college and I don't know how well he is doing. Bring him to my place tomorrow. I want to see him. I have no children. If I can get over this difficulty, I will
The throne was passed to Catmull."
"Hehe... I know you dote on him." Cai Ya said with a smile, "Don't think so much, you can still live for many years with your body."
"I'll listen to you, live a few more years." Although Abel said this, he also knew that he and Cai Ya were seriously injured when they escaped from the world of Helifu. Their health was getting worse day by day, and he still did not forget what he had just said.
Then he said again: "Don't forget to bring Catmu to see me tomorrow."
"Okay...okay" Cai Ya said and patted Abel on the shoulder.
