"Ah, there are quite a few of them. Are those prisoners prisoners or enemy soldiers?"
By the light of the fire in the camp in the distance, everyone in Beitie City could vaguely clear a path, and there were many figures running towards the city.
It's just that the distance is too far and it's dark, so everyone can't tell the identity of the person yet.
Of course, for the sake of caution, Commander Bei Tiecheng immediately issued an alert order.
Dang Dang Dang!
As the order was issued, alarm bells immediately sounded in the city, and the soldiers who had been taking a break returned to the city wall to prepare for possible attacks.
Before long, the figure in the distance had approached the city wall more than two hundred meters away.
Once we reach this area, it is already necessary to launch an attack within the city.
As a result, scoldings immediately came from the city wall: "Stop, who are you? If you dare to come forward again, you will be killed without mercy!"
When the group of people below heard this, they immediately shouted in response: "We are people from the Flame Continent, don't attack."
"We just escaped from the camp of the Storm Legion, don't attack!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at Commander Bei Tie.
Although Commander Bei Tie frowned, he still raised his hand to signal his men not to attack yet.
"You send a few people forward to inform them of your identity. The rest of you cannot get close to the city wall."
Commander Bei Tiecheng shouted to the prisoners outside the city.
This is to further confirm the identity of the other party. After all, they are two hundred meters apart and it is still dark, so it is really impossible to tell whether the other party is a friend or an enemy.
All the prisoners also understood that four people were immediately approaching towards the city wall.
These four people are considered to be the highest-status among the prisoners.
"Commander of Beitie City, I am Shuni, the commander of Kanoer City. We escaped from the Demonic Beasts of the Storm Legion through a riot tonight. Please ask Commander of Beitie to let us enter the city immediately."
"Commander of Beitie City, I am Yibi, the commander of Doblin City. Please let us in quickly. We have tens of thousands of people in total. If we are not allowed to enter the city, the people of the Storm Legion will come after us later.
Already."
"Commander of Beitecheng..."
Arriving at the bottom of the city wall, several prisoners immediately informed them of their identities.
Although the commander of Bei Tiecheng did not know them personally, he had basically heard of these cities.
But what everyone said about letting them into the city made things difficult for the commander of Beitecheng.
"Everyone, I know it is very difficult for you to escape from the enemy, but I cannot let you enter the city!"
Commander Bei Tie finally refused the requests of several people.
"Why, Commander Bei Tiecheng, we are all from the Flame Continent. Although we were captured, our loyalty to the God of Flame has not changed."
"You let us enter the city, and together we can resist the attack of the Storm Legion."
When several captive commanders heard this, their faces suddenly showed anxiety.
"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to, but the safety of Beitecheng is related to the safety of the entire Holy City."
"Although I also know that what you said is most likely the true identity, I can't take the risk."
"After all, even if your identities are easy to confirm, as for the other prisoners, you may not be 100% sure whether there are enemy spies among them."
"Well, commanders, why don't you immediately bypass our Beitie City and head towards the Holy City."
"There are more soldiers guarding the Holy City, and the Holy City is still safe for the time being. Even if the Storm Legion wants to pursue it, they dare not go too deep."
"Then you will have a chance to survive!"
Commander Bei Tiecheng patiently explained to the several captive commanders.
"Commander Bei Tiecheng, the enemy will soon send out cavalry to pursue us. Even if we want to spare Bei Tiecheng, we don't know how many casualties we will pay!"
"Besides, there are basically no enemies among us prisoners."
"Because we were able to escape tonight only through hard work. It was not because the enemy deliberately released us!"
However, several commanders did not want to escape according to the method suggested by Commander Bei Tiecheng.
Although the Holy City is indeed safe, can they escape there safely?
"Commanders, although this is very risky, if you go immediately now, you still have a good chance."
"But if it's too late, it'll be too late!"
Commander Bei Tiecheng still shook his head.
Seeing that he still persisted, the commanders below showed disappointment on their faces. At this time, one of the commanders said: "Commander Bei Tie, can you send a few messengers to pass our news back to the Holy City?
Let’s see if the Holy City can send someone to pick us up?”
"This is no problem. I will send a messenger to report the matter immediately!"
The commander of Beitecheng did not refuse.
Even if the leader of these captives didn't say anything, he still needed to report this matter.
After all, the lives of tens of thousands of people are at stake.
Immediately, the captive commanders did not delay any longer and immediately returned to the crowd 200 meters away.
And when the crowd outside learned that Bei Tiecheng refused to let them in, there was a burst of noise and yelling.
Obviously, they had very strong opinions on Bei Tiecheng's refusal to save him.
Especially the commander of Bei Tiecheng was directly spurned by them.
Upon seeing this, the subordinates around Commander Bei Tiecheng looked at him cautiously.
Although Commander Bei Tiecheng frowned, he didn't say anything.
Instead, his subordinates immediately sent messengers to the Holy City to see if they could request a supporting team.
After the people under the city wall cursed a few times, they immediately prepared to flee for their lives and began to go sideways around Beitie City.
It's just that although Beitie City is an acropolis, it can be estimated to be a city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. If you want to make a detour in the dark with your legs, it will take a lot of time.
More than twenty minutes passed in a flash, and some traces of the huge crowd of captives could still be seen.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the roar of war horses could be heard in the distance.
It was the Storm Legion that responded and rushed out tens of thousands of cavalry from the camp.
In addition, there were densely packed infantry following closely behind.

"Ah, no, it's the cavalry of the Storm Legion. What will happen to the escaped prisoners now..."
"Yeah, their speed is really too slow!!"
As the cavalry appeared, the soldiers on the city wall who were the first to notice the situation began to scream in surprise.
And the fact is, as they say, legs can't outrun a war horse.
Not long after, everyone watched helplessly as the cavalry of the Storm Legion circled in front of the captured soldiers and blocked their retreat.
When the captured soldiers saw this, they immediately became confused and began to scatter like headless flies.
When the cavalry of the Storm Legion saw this, they immediately mobilized their horses and started chasing them.
Fortunately, since these prisoners were scattered and fled, they would not be trampled into pieces.
Of course, on the other hand, it is precisely because of this.
On the contrary, it made this one-sided massacre even more unbearable to watch.
Because if they are trampled into pieces, the battle may end quickly.
But this slow and scattered pursuit seems to have become a long-lasting cat and mouse game.
Listening to the constant screams from the escaped prisoners, everyone on the city wall couldn't help but feel angry.
In the end, those captured soldiers who had escaped before were even driven back to the gate of Beitie City.
To be continued...
