When Arthur arrived at the granary, it was already on fire.
A large group of people dressed in city guards were constantly pouring oil-like liquid into the granary. Looking at their armbands, they were not only city guards, but also the prefect's personal guards. Not only that, but there were also many city guards guarding the area. As soon as any soldiers discovered the situation and came to investigate, they pounced on them and slashed them. There were already many corpses on the ground.
Seeing this, Arthur immediately figured out the reason for Darcy's recent actions.
No wonder they weren't in a hurry. It turned out that they had colluded with the prefect of Camil City long ago and were just waiting for the guards in the city to let down their guard.
After figuring this out, Arthur rushed forward in anger. He drew out the Budu Spirit and slashed at it with a sharp sword aura. Although these prefects had many personal guards, they could not stop Arthur's furious killing. Not long after, they all became broken corpses.
The raging flames expanded its claws and teeth on the granary without any restraint.
Staring at the fire, Arthur shook his head helplessly. It was too late.
More and more soldiers came to put out the fire, and the noise became louder. Arthur felt that something was wrong when he saw the soldiers carrying water and running.
The prefect risked being killed to expose himself. Could it be that he wanted to burn these provisions? Although there were many granaries here, it wasn't like there weren't any in other places. If they were used sparingly, these 200,000 soldiers of the empire wouldn't starve to death before they were replenished.
Arthur frowned and spun around, trying to think of what the mayor might do.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the soldiers running back and forth on the street. His expression suddenly turned cold, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
If he remembered correctly, the ones guarding the street facing the north gate today were the Camil City Guards! Arthur did not think it was a coincidence.
It was highly possible that the prefect had ordered the burning of the grain to attract the attention of the expeditionary army in the city. His real killing move was at the city gate. He was trying to lure Darcy's army into the city!
Thinking of this, Arthur rushed to the north gate. With his strength, if the city guards had not acted, Arthur could completely kill their plan in the cradle.
However, when he was still some distance away from the north gate, he heard the sound of fighting. After turning a corner, the scene in front of him made his heart skip a beat. There were corpses everywhere on the street, and the closer he got to the city gate, the more corpses there were. The city gate was already wide open, and countless Darcy soldiers were swarming in.
It was too late!
Arthur's heart skipped a beat. He did not stay any longer and turned to run back. He had to inform Aiders so that she could be prepared.
He didn't have any delusions about stopping Darcy's soldiers alone. Facing tens of thousands of soldiers, no matter how strong a person was, he wouldn't be able to do much!
His current combat strength was 185427, but the combat strength of each elite soldier was at least in the double digits. He could kill 10,000, 20,000, but he was powerless to do anything more!
After running a few streets, Arthur saw a man who looked like an officer in front of him. Arthur glanced at him and stopped. He grabbed the officer. He had some impression of this man, he was a regiment commander of Aiders 'troops.
"Go and tell Aiders that Darcy's army has been let into the city by the prefect!”
After shouting, Arthur pushed him towards the command center in the city. He moved again and ran towards his troops. His troops were stationed in the north of the city, just enough to block the Darcy Army.
Locke was a very cautious person. When the city was in chaos, he didn't care about what happened. He gathered his troops first, so when Arthur arrived, he could quickly lead his men to stop him.
Tens of thousands of horse hooves stepped on the bricks in the city, and Arthur's warriors collided with the Darcy Army that had broken into Camil City. They were instantly thrown off their horses, and blood splattered everywhere.
Arthur also mustered all his strength, and the crescent sky shot out as if he was risking his life. Countless Darcy soldiers were turned into dead souls in his hands.
The Daxi Army's advance halted.
With the arrival of the barbarian infantrymen, Arthur and the others even managed to gain a firm foothold, and the Darcy Army was unable to advance even half a step.
At this moment, a dozen or so soldiers from Darcy's army suddenly appeared and charged at Arthur, who was still panting.
The dozen or so people were wrapped in yellow light. They must have cultivated some kind of energy, and each of them had the strength of an A class.
When Arthur slaughtered Darcy's soldiers like a god of death, they remained unmoved and hid in Darcy's army. They waited until Arthur was exhausted before charging out. It was obvious that they wanted Arthur's life!
However, Arthur was not easy to deal with. Although he was a little exhausted, even a starving camel was still bigger than a horse, let alone one of the three strongest men in the Empire.
He raised his heavy hand again and slashed out a few crescent-shaped sword Qi. Two of the dozen or so people who rushed over couldn't dodge in time and their bodies were cut off. However, the remaining people continued to charge forward. The light on the greatsword was dense, as if it was about to explode.
Arthur gritted his teeth, turned around, and cast a small Blade Storm, forcing them back.
Looking at the increasing number of Darcy soldiers in front of him, Arthur suddenly envied Aiders 'ability. If Aiders was here, he could use a big move to freeze all of them, and the ice would be enough to block the path of the Darcy soldiers behind him.
Unfortunately, although Arthur's strength was not weaker than Aiders, he did not have any large-scale group attacks. The only attack that could kill a group was the Crescent Sky Charge, which consumed a lot of stamina and was useless.
"Ding! Side Quest-Great Retreat. Successfully cover the retreat of the city's soldiers. The mission will be completed when 70% of the city's soldiers retreat. Otherwise, the mission will fail!”
"Mission reward: Random skill x1!”
I hope I can get a good skill this time! Arthur prayed in his heart.
Seeing that Arthur wasn't as easy to deal with as they had thought, the remaining orbs became more cautious. He no longer wanted to kill Arthur, but focused on restraining him.
After losing Arthur, the God of Slaughter, Arthur's subordinates could no longer stop the increasing number of Darcy Warriors and were forced to retreat.
In order to prevent the troops from being scattered, Arthur ordered them to retreat a little. As they fought and retreated, Arthur and the others actually retreated all the way from the north of the city to the south gate.
Right at this moment, the few surviving Darcy warriors who were wrapped in light balls suddenly froze, and they were immediately wrapped in ice!
Arthur turned his head and saw that it was indeed Aiders.
"How are you?" Aiders hurried forward and asked with concern as he looked at Arthur's sweaty face.
"Phew, I'm fine." Arthur wiped the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes and grinned. The debris and sweat stains on his face made his handsome face disappear, but it brought with it a strong masculinity.
Aiders ignored the soldiers around him and threw himself into Arthur's arms, squeezing his head into his arms.
"It's good that you're fine ~"
" Now is not the time to talk about this," Arthur said as he lifted Aiders 'face with both hands. Then, he was stunned.
He dared to say that he had never seen Aiders like this before, and he had never expected to see one.
The woman looked down, and Arthur could see tears in her big eyes.
Ever since Aiders joined the army, she had fought countless battles, big and small. She had a strong heart and was an outstanding commander. However, even if she was the Queen, she was still a woman. It seemed that this blow was a little too big for her.
"Don't think too much. This time, it's not your problem.”Arthur comforted him in a low voice.
" Yes," the woman replied with her head lowered. It seemed that she had not recovered from her disappointment.
Arthur held his wife's face with both hands and made her look at him.
"We still have a chance!"
Arthur's words stunned the woman.
Arthur pointed at the Darcy Army and continued," They will definitely chase us out of the city. As long as our retreating troops don't panic and we find a place to set up an ambush, it's hard to say who will win.”
This method was very unexpected. Based on the current situation, the chances of success were quite high. However, the prerequisite for all of this was that someone had to lead the troops to block the pursuit of the Darcy Army and prevent the retreat from turning into a retreat.
This mission was naturally Arthur's. After all, he was the Queen's husband.
Hearing this, Aiders 'eyes lit up, but she immediately thought of the premise of this plan and looked at Arthur.
Arthur nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Aiders smiled happily, and determination appeared on his heroic face. He broke free from Arthur's embrace and looked at Arthur deeply. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything and turned to leave.
Arthur was stunned. That's not right. The plot shouldn't have developed like this. Shouldn't she have used that seductive little mouth to bite her mouth, face, and neck?
Just as he was in a daze, a voice came from outside the city gate. It was Aiders.
"Work hard. If this plan succeeds, I remember that the emperor's concubines have standards!”
As long as I have you by my side, I will be happy no matter what. The woman who had disappeared into the darkness murmured.
Hearing his wife's words, Arthur was delighted. The feeling of exhaustion was gone, and he felt full of energy. He turned his head to look at the Darcy Warriors who were still rushing over. In his eyes, there were no fierce Darcy Warriors anymore, they were all big bricks that could move on their own.
Heh, what was that old saying again? Yes, empires were forged in blood!
Therefore, for the sake of my empire, you should be more noble and noble, and offer your blood!
