The soft light passed through the young man's eyes, allowing his tightly closed eyes to still see that touch of white. He gradually regained his consciousness and narrowed his eyes. Through the narrow window embedded in the stone wall, he happened to see the red sun that was about to set in the sky. Although it was not as dazzling as before, it could still bring out a dazzling halo.
He turned his head. Even though he managed to avoid the sunlight in time, his body seemed to be firmly pressed down by the light. He struggled to sit up from the bed. The unfamiliar and hard bed clearly could not eliminate the aching pain that rippled all over his body. However, he could not care about this at this moment. He looked around with some caution…
Other than the sound of footsteps moving back and forth on the ceiling, there was only the faint breathing of the wounded around them.
The things around him rushed into his vision, and the unfamiliar scene began to give the teenager a headache. To ensure that he was awake, he rubbed his temples with his thumb and middle finger. At this moment, he saw a familiar figure sleeping beside him. This person was the man he had treated in the fire room earlier.
"Ah Bin?"
This made Ye Jiu recall the urgency before he fainted. The remaining danger consciousness in his mind drove his body, trying to straighten up. However, just a simple action of getting up caused an unusually violent dizziness! It struck his consciousness, causing him to gasp.
"Hiss ~"
Fortunately, before his body completely lost its center of gravity, his arms found a wall that could support him in time, which prevented the youth from fainting again. However, the pain that echoed in his mind made him unable to move for a moment. He tried his best to recall the scene. The only thing he could recall was the scene of him chasing after the sound out of the fire room. As for the rest...
It was like a dream.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from below…
...
"Do you all want to know why we have lost more than we have won in the war against the monsters over the years? I have concluded two reasons, and these two reasons are also the key to our victory!”
From this, it could be seen that she had given up on following her mentor back to the city to take refuge. She clearly had some plans…
"Number one…"
Just as Jingmin was about to mention the main reason, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and inadvertently landed on the young man who was slowly walking down from the attic. She paused for a moment and looked solemn. She couldn't help but purse her lips, which attracted attention. However, before the sentries could find the place where her gaze landed, she looked away as if she hadn't seen it and continued to speak.
"Because we don't understand them at all. Powerful enemies aren't the most terrifying thing.。It came from his own ignorance. One had to know that an unknown enemy was invincible, but it was different now! Countless ancestors used their blood to describe the appearance of the demons for us!”
“...”
Ye Jiu could feel the coldness that the young girl had just cast over. In the face of her cold and indifferent attitude, Ye Jiu did not care about it. He only smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly. Then, he sat on the stairs and listened to her speech with interest.
Speaking of which, the young man was quite innocent. After all, he would never dream of the "devil" in his body doing "good things" with his body. He only felt that every time the tip of his tongue touched his lips, he would taste the residual sweetness at the corner of his lips.
"The devil birds are like the devil's suicide squads. Compared to those powerful devils, they seem weak, but they play a particularly important role on the battlefield. In order to deal with tens of thousands of devil birds, we have to consume almost all of the city's defense resources.”
"The guards who have run out of ammunition and food can only choose to retreat.。In other words, it is not because the Black Edge Army is too powerful that they are difficult to defeat. It is because we have already lost the weapons to fight them when they truly arrive.”
The voice of a 15-year-old girl was naturally sweet, and because of this, it was not easy to show off her persuasiveness. Jingmin's flexible control of her tone made everyone present nod in agreement. She was obviously different from those young ladies who grew up in a greenhouse. Although she always deliberately changed the topic when she talked about monsters with Ye Jiu, now it seemed that she knew about monsters…
They were not even weaker than the high-ranking officers of the Empire!
The girl described the main characteristics of the Black Front Army in great detail, which amazed everyone present. It should be known that the species of the monster army were complex and varied. Just by the vanguard troops sent by the monsters, they could identify the type of the Black Front Army that attacked this time. Their knowledge was really impressive. They must have done a lot of research on the monsters in advance. It was hard to imagine that she was only 15 years old!
"Could it be that ignoring those fellows can stop the Black Edge Army?”
At this moment, Fu Chuan, who was sitting in the crowd, asked. Actually, before he was sent to the border for military service, he had browsed through the literature on monsters. After all, in order to survive, for ordinary people without a Sprite, since there was no way to become stronger, increasing their understanding of things was the most effective way to increase their survival rate. As a result, he was so engrossed in listening that he did not notice Ye Jiu who was leaning against the stairs.
" Of course not. Although the demon birds are short and stupid, their actions are quite organized. This is the terrifying thing about these demons. If they are not eliminated in time, tens of thousands of them will try all kinds of methods to break down the city's defense.”
The sudden question did not make Jingmin feel awkward. Her exquisite facial features even showed some joy, because this was exactly the effect she needed at the moment. After all, the help of the sentries was an indispensable part of her plan, so she hoped that more people present would take the initiative to participate, instead of hiding in the corner and holding despair…
She continued to tremble and cry.
However, the girl's honest answer also made everyone see the " dead knot " of the problem. Then again, this had nothing to do with them. In this sentry camp, there were no so-called defensive facilities at all. Naturally, there was no problem of consumption. Everyone could only hide in this small sentry tower and delay the time of death as much as possible.
It wouldn't take long for the despair to gradually deepen and completely erode the rationality of some people, thus breeding the terrible idea of killing themselves instead of being tortured to death by the demons.
Despair quietly spread in the silent atmosphere…
"It doesn't matter.。”
The first person to break the bad atmosphere was a fat woman in her thirties. From her voice, it seemed that complaining was her specialty. The woman's name was Ah Jiao. She usually worked in the fire room of the Sentinel Corps, which was responsible for solving the food and beverage problems of the Sentinel Corps. Moreover, her pockmarked papaya face revealed a sense of foolishness. It was precisely because of this naivety that the topic continued smoothly...
"It is indeed neither, but it does not mean that there is no answer to this question! After capturing and studying them, we discovered that they don't have the ability to learn at all, but they can always complete extremely purposeful actions on the battlefield. This is obviously illogical…”
"In other words, there were other demons controlling them from the beginning!”
(In the battle records of the Northern Recapture War, there was an effective surprise attack: The North Route Army was ready to go. Less than half a day after they left Xiling Town, they encountered the demon wave that was advancing in the wild. For various reasons, the commander ordered them to avoid the battle. However, the twenty-eighth division on the flank was forced to fight the demon beasts because their whereabouts were exposed. The location of the battle was the middle and rear of the Black Front Army. After dozens of spirit trainers entered, they never came out again. However, not long after, a large number of demon birds scattered!）
