Chapter 16

Back when Jin City was besieged by monsters, Lin Zifeng led some soldiers to lure the monsters away.

The city lord of Jin City actually ran away with his family. If not for the young man in front of him, Jin City would have been slaughtered by the monsters.

“Guard.”

The man softly spat out a word.

“Guard?”

Xu Ding’s expression changed. Jin City was so big. If those monsters kept attacking, his soldiers would not be able to withstand it.

There were also many soldiers with injuries on their bodies. There were not many soldiers in Jin City to begin with, so how long could they defend?

There were only 1,500 soldiers in Jin City. Back then, Lin Zifeng had left Jin City with 300 soldiers. At this moment, there were less than 1,000 soldiers left in the city.

“Sir, if those monsters continue to attack Jin City, the soldiers in the city won’t be able to defend at all.”

Xu Ding revealed a helpless expression.

Those monsters were all quite strong and had poisonous tails. Many soldiers died from the poison.

A monster required at least three to five soldiers to resist.

A monster required at least three to five soldiers to resist.

“Just say that the monsters are rampant. The City Lord has already run away. The surrounding cities have all been slaughtered by the monsters. Those who want to survive, pick up your weapons and fight to the death with the monsters.”

The man’s eyes flickered. This was the only way.

In a life-or-death situation, the people in the city would definitely not wait for death. Even if they escaped Jin City, who knew how many monsters there were outside the city?

“This?”

When Xu Ding heard his words, he hesitated. Once this news was released, the people in the city only had two choices.

One was to run, and the other was to fight the monster to the death.

If Jin City was in chaos, the entire city might instantly become a purgatory on earth!

All the commoners would become food for the monsters.

“Go ahead, trust me.”

The man’s tone was firm. Although he did not know why so many monsters appeared in this world, he could only bet that the people in the gambling city still had courage.

When Xu Ding heard the man’s words, he knew that this was the only way.

Then, Xu Ding left the City Lord’s Mansion and announced this news.

When the citizens in the city heard that the City Lord Manor had posted a notice, they gathered one after another. When they saw the content of the notice, their hearts were filled with despair.

“It’s over. The surrounding cities have been slaughtered by those monsters. It’s over for us here.”

“That’s right. Those monsters are too terrifying. Not a single one of the surrounding cities was spared. They’re simply devils.”

“I ran out of the Wang Family Village. I didn’t expect Jin City to fall.”

Beside the notice, Xu Ding could not help but shake his head when he heard what the crowd said. It was indeed not much different from what he had thought.

The people in the city were already starting to feel afraid. Once this despair dissipated, the entire Jin City would be completely finished.

“Everyone, are we just going to wait for those monsters to slaughter us? Aren’t they just monsters? If the soldiers can kill them, can’t we?”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd. His tone was filled with determination.

“If three to five soldiers can kill a monster, we’ll kill eight to ten of them. Think about your children. Mother, don’t you have any guts?!”

“Although I’m a scholar, I dare to raise my saber!”

Xu Ding’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at the familiar figure in the crowd.

“That’s right. Why should we be at the mercy of others? Aren’t they just monsters? Although I’m just a butcher, I will slaughter animals or monsters today!”

In the crowd, a bearded man with a fierce body shouted angrily.

“The armory in the city has been opened. If you have the guts, come and get a knife from me!!”

Butcher’s face was fierce as he shouted and looked at Xu Ding.

“Kill, kill the monster!”

“Kill two to earn one!”

Voices shouted from the crowd, as if a bomb had been ignited.

Xu Ding looked at the familiar figure in the crowd and a look of realization appeared on his face.

It turned out that this was the teacher’s method. It stimulated the bloodlust of the people in the city and made them throw themselves away alone. Only by fighting with monsters could they survive.

“Sir, you’re indeed a gentleman.”

Xu Ding could not help but sigh. A scholar’s brain was indeed better than his, who was full of strength.

He was really afraid that the people in the city would give up and wait for the monsters to kill them.

At this moment, Mei Changge had already arrived outside Jin City. Looking at the surrounding ground and even the bloodstains on the city wall, there was no expression on his face.

“Is this Jin City?”

Looking at the historical city in front of him, he felt a sense of familiarity.

“Who are you?!”

When Mei Changge arrived at the foot of the city and saw the tightly shut city gate, a loud shout suddenly attracted his attention.

Looking at the guards on the city wall, Mei Changge said, “I’m someone from beyond the heavens. I want to meet the City Lord of Jin City.”

“Meet the City Lord? The City Lord has already run away.”

When the soldiers on the city wall heard Mei Changge’s words, they answered without thinking.

“From the looks of it, you must be a scholar. I’ll put a ladder for you. Climb up yourself.”

The soldier looked at Mei Changge’s appearance. Although he was wearing strange clothes, he was clearly a human.

Then, he pointed to the ladder next door and let Mei Changge climb up.

“Okay.”

Upon hearing this, Mei Changge did not refuse. After all, there should have been monsters coming to Jin City not long ago. Presumably, the city gate had already been completely blocked.

Mei Changge glanced at the city wall and circulated the pure qi in his body to his feet. With a light tap, his entire body soared into the air.

Of course, he couldn’t fly yet, let alone step on his right foot with his left foot.

His body rose nearly two meters into the air. Then, he stepped on the city wall with the tip of his foot and borrowed the force to jump onto the city wall.

When the soldiers on the city wall saw Mei Changge’s performance, their expressions tightened. Then, with a light wave of their hands, more than ten soldiers surrounded him.

The soldier sized up Mei Changge from head to toe, then looked behind Mei Changge. After confirming that Mei Changge was not a monster, he waved his hand and the rest of the soldiers dispersed.

“Sorry brother, you don’t look like a normal person”

The leader of the soldiers was a middle-aged man. There were still scars on his face. Although it was bandaged, there were still traces of blood.

“I know.”

Mei Changge nodded in understanding.

“Now that the city lord has run away, who’s in charge? Can you bring me to see him? Tell him that I have a way to save the entire Jin City.”

Mei Changge looked at the soldiers around him. All of them had a murderous aura, but they were obviously injured.

“Save the entire Jin City? Really?”

When the middle-aged man heard Mei Changge’s words, perhaps it was because Mei Changge had just climbed up the city wall, he revealed a trace of joy on his face.

“Did the other cities come to save us?”

The man hurriedly asked.
