The golden sun rises from the east, and its dazzling light is like a sharp blade of justice, instantly piercing the depression and panic brought by the dark night.
Huhu...
In Hulao Pass, the remaining flames after the war are still burning, and thick smoke envelopes the entire city pass, making people feel depressed and heavy.
The corpses and blood all over the place made people feel numb just by looking at them, and the strong and disgusting smell of blood lingered in front of their noses.
Everyone was in a terrible mood, because among those corpses, there were also the bodies of many black-armored guards and students.
The crisis in Hulao Pass was resolved the moment Zhang Guangyi arrived with his army. The demon cultivators fled in all directions, trying to sneak into the pass. Without exception, all the demon cultivators were caught and killed. As for those who escaped from the pass,
Due to the complicated terrain, a lot of demon cultivators slipped away in a short period of time.
However, there is no victory or defeat in this battle, only a heavy price.
There were more than 1,200 students from Wen Palace and Hongye College in Hulao Pass. Nearly half of them died in this battle, which made Hulao Pass feel like a heartache.
When the city was closed, Xiong Yan's face was full of unconcealable exhaustion, but he did not go to rest. Instead, he looked down at the corpses of the black-armored guards carried out by the soldiers in the pass and placed together.
After accumulating more than ten rows, the grief in my heart can no longer be concealed.
He, a tough man who had guarded the border for decades, suddenly turned red-eyed. He clenched his fist tightly, even if his nails scratched the palm of his hand, he was still unconscious.
Beside him, Zhang Guangyi couldn't help but sigh when he saw the tragic scene in front of him, "Old Xiong, you have to take care of yourself. It's all my fault. It's because I failed to see through the demon cultivator's plan. They made such a big move all of a sudden.
, I thought they wanted to disperse their forces so they could attack Iron Gate Pass, but I didn’t expect that their target would be Hulao Pass. Anyway, it’s my fault, my support came late..."
Xiong Yan was silent for a long time before finally restraining his inner emotions, and then said in a hoarse voice: "I don't blame you... You are a general and you have to be responsible for the entire border pass. I understand. It's just that this time, the casualties at Hulao Pass were too heavy.
…”
Xiong Yan's voice was choked with sobs when he finished speaking.
A man doesn't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the point where he is sad.
These brothers in Hulao Pass have been with him for a long time. He really treats them as family members, but now...
Then both of them became quiet again.
Under the morning sunshine, it should have been a day full of hope, but the heavy wind of sadness in Hulao Pass would not dissipate.
The students of the Wen Palace were also helping the black-armored guards clean up the battlefield with disgraced faces. When the corpses of their former classmates were carried out one after another, all the students couldn't help crying.
"Chen Fei, Chen Fei..."
"I'm sorry, Wang Xiao was beside me at the time. He died to save me. It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
"Junior Brother Wu Tian is also dead. He was only twenty-one years old. Woohoo..."
Feng Shaoyang and Wen Liang also lowered their heads, their eyes were red and filled with tears.
Both of them are also covered in glory, but these pains are nothing compared to those brothers and sisters who have sacrificed their lives.
Wen Liang blamed himself: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect them well, it's my fault, it's me..."
Feng Shaoyang also clenched his fists, "And me, as the team leader, I can't protect my fellow disciples. I'm so useless!"
When the other surviving students heard this, some quickly choked up and said: "No, two senior brothers, this is not your fault, this is all the fault of those demon cultivators, it is them, they are the culprits!"
"Yes, after this battle, I finally understood the significance of the existence of the border guards. If the evil cultivators are not eliminated, our country will never have peace, and tragic things like this will happen again in the future. I have decided that this time
After I go back to Wen Palace for training, as long as I successfully graduate, I will join the army, and I will come back here again and fight the demon cultivator to the end!"
"And I……"
"Count me in……"
All the students in the Wen Palace responded one after another.
After this battle, these students finally understood the meaning of responsibility.
Those ordinary black-armored guards at the border can fight to the death for Daxuan. There is no reason why they, the talents trained by the Wen Palace, can only enjoy themselves.
At least, they should do their part!
After a while, Wen Liang suddenly said: "I don't know how Su Pingan is doing now..."
Everyone's body trembled, and their hearts started to rise involuntarily.
On the city tower, after Xiong Yan looked down at Hulao Pass, which was almost in order, he turned around and looked at the vast Shiwanshan Mountain behind him, and then said to Zhang Guangyi: "I plan to go out of the pass. These days, I hope you can first
Help me guard Hulao Pass for a while."
Hearing this, Zhang Guangyi's eyes flashed with doubts, "Do you want to find those demon cultivators to avenge the sacrificed soldiers? Don't be impulsive. We still need you at Hulao Pass. Besides, the Hundred Thousand Mountains are too dangerous. You go there."
also……"
Xiong Yan shook his head, interrupted Zhang Guangyi's words, and said: "Although I also wish to destroy all the demon cultivators at once, I also know that this is not realistic. It's just that before you came, a student in Guan Nei wanted to give me
Fighting for the opportunity, he took the initiative to attract the Golden-backed Ape King. He may still be facing the pursuit of the Golden-backed Ape King. As his commander, I have the responsibility to bring him back safely!"
"And there's this thing..."
Zhang Guangyi was shocked after hearing this.
Although Xiong Yan said it simply, the courage of a student who dared to provoke a demon general-level monster was extraordinary. Zhang Guangyi was also amazed by it, but he had some concerns, "That student
Since he has been targeted by the Golden-backed Ape King, who is not even a writer, I'm afraid... even if he is still alive, where are you going to find him when the Hundred Thousand Mountains are so big?"
Zhang Guangyi paused for a moment. He felt that since Su Ping'an was targeted by the Golden-backed Ape King, his chances of survival were slim, and there would be little hope of finding him.
But Xiong Yan insisted: "I don't care, since he has come to Hulao Pass, he is my soldier. Even if he really encounters misfortune, then I will bring his body back..."
After that, Xiong Yan stopped wasting time. He was afraid that if he delayed for a second, Su Ping'an's chance of survival would be reduced by one second, so he immediately rose into the sky, turned into a gray shadow, and disappeared into the woods outside the city in the blink of an eye.
Inside.
At the same time, fifty kilometers away from Hulao Pass, a figure was constantly shuttling through the woods.
He is Su Pingan!
With the help of the little fox Feng Xiaomian's sneak attack, Su Ping'an finally got rid of the pursuit of the Golden-backed Ape King. He originally wanted to run in the direction of Hulao Pass, but he lost his way while running. Now he has no idea at all.
I know that I am getting further and further away from Hulao Pass...
