chapter Ten(2/2)
But now, from the bottom of the city wall to the mouth of the canyon, this huge funnel is filled with refugees. At a glance, the field of vision is filled with a squirming flow of people, of all races, at least hundreds of thousands!
"Damn it..." I felt so weak that I sat down on the city wall: "Aren't you going to kill me?"
"Sir, there are too many refugees." Carlos walked up to me and said, "We can't possibly enter by force... Let alone enter the canyon, there's no place to set foot."
"Where did these people come from?" I shook my head in disbelief and said, "How could so many refugees appear overnight?"
"The flames of war have spread throughout the dividing line between gods and demons, but there is no fighting here. The furthest they come is from the border of the Trafal Empire, dragging their families over several mountains... but the scouts we sent two days ago did not find it. The retreat was blocked, and when we entered Tucheng an hour ago, the city was full of people, and more refugees gathered more than ten miles away from the city."
Carlos whispered: "And we didn't think about this beforehand! It's my fault!"
"It's not your fault. Letting them escape here should be a trap by the Demon Alliance." I said slowly: "Remember when we drove away the mob in Camp? They learn so damn fast!"
"Can we drive them away?" Carlos asked me tentatively: "Let our troops pass first?"
"It's too late, the enemy has already caught up, and it's not easy to drive away these hundreds of thousands of people."
I shook my head: "If we use strong tactics, most of our soldiers come from the dividing line between gods and demons, and these people may have their relatives... Once the soldiers mutiny, we will be finished."
"Then what do we do?"
"What else can we do?" I spat on the ground: "We fell into a trap, it's time to fight!"
At this time, an officer ran up the city wall: "Report sir! The enemy is chasing us!"
"Get ready to fight! I hit you by mistake, Carlos..." I stood up and patted the dust on my body: "But don't expect me to apologize to you. I'll let you fight back if I have the chance!"
"Ah... no need..."
"Give me the order! The whole army enters the earth city to defend!" While Carlos was stuttering, I was already striding towards the city wall: "Build a stronghold and set up traps - I want to kill all these bastards from the demon alliance!"
"yes!"
"Carlos!"
"arrive!"
"Meeting of officers of each regiment!" I shouted loudly: "It's on the city wall in front!"
