Two Hundred and Sixty-Four Human Shields

At this time, there were less than five hundred people behind him.

"Oh! Damn it!" Gene didn't expect the damage to be so great, and couldn't help being angry, hating the Earth Demons to death.

As soon as they left the city, before they could catch their breath, a large number of soldiers and horses appeared behind them, each with blood-red eyes, looking like menacing gods, vowing to kill all the escaped slaves.

"It's not over yet!" Zhou Xing was furious, so General Tiger Cavalry ran to the back of the line, took out a stack of junior ghost fire scrolls, and threw out fifteen scrolls in one go.

boom! !

Black flames soared into the sky, engulfing the pursuers in an instant. When the flames were extinguished, only four generals were still alive. They were so big that no horse could bear them, so they galloped at full speed, not much slower than horses.

Zhou Xing didn't dare to fight, so he made up a mana arrow by himself, and shot them all into blood. Then he switched to the lower-cost fine steel arrow, and shot more than a hundred arrows, and finally shot them all. died.

These poor guys didn't blow up anything, and Zhou Xing's stock was running low!

"It's a big loss!" Zhou Xing wailed.

Fortunately, he killed all the first wave of pursuers, and the second wave couldn't catch up with them. Everyone seemed to have lost their lives for nothing, and they couldn't help but be ecstatic.

But Zhou Xing couldn't be happy. Firstly, he suffered heavy losses, and secondly, there was still a frontline camp ahead. The frontline camp is on the way they must go back to Starfall City, there is no other way to go, there are only 400 people now, can they rush over?

"Zhou Xing, what's wrong with you? You're depressed." Gene asked.

Zhou Xing thought for a while, and whispered his worries. The smile on Gene's face disappeared instantly. He and the others forgot about the frontline camp for a while, from where they were escorted to the devil of the city.

"What should I do?" Gene asked in a low voice, worried about affecting morale.

"It's too difficult for me." Zhou Xing frowned.

Gene said: "According to this speed, we can get there in less than two hours. We must find a way as soon as possible!"

So, the two of them came up with ideas together, thought of one after another, and then overturned them one by one. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed, and they were still at a loss.

"If you can't, just go for it!" Gene gritted his teeth and said.

Zhou Xing said: "There are at least three or four thousand people in the camp, how many do you think you can rush through?"

Gene shook his head and said nothing.

Zhou Xing suddenly had an idea, and said: "I have an idea, but it is very dangerous. If it succeeds, most of the people can be saved. If it fails, it will be the price of annihilation!"

"What idea?" Gene asked.

At this time, everyone had already recovered and knew that there was still a difficulty ahead, so they all paid attention to the conversation between the two leaders.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly and said, "Same as before, still acting!"

When the team of hundreds of people approached the rear of the frontline camp, everyone dismounted, only Zhou Xing was still sitting on the back of the big tiger, but his appearance became that of an Earth Demon tribe, Durandal The sword hangs brightly on his waist.

All these hundreds of people took off their armor and hung them on horseback together with their weapons. Everyone was tied up with ropes, and they were connected together one by one to ensure that no one could run away.

When they walked to the camp, there was already a group of demon warriors waiting in battle, and one of them asked Zhou Xing loudly: "Who are you? Why did you send the slaves back?"

Zhou Xing acted smug on purpose, and instead of answering the other party's question, he commanded arrogantly: "Call out the head of your camp and say that the special envoy of the monarch has arrived!"

When the other party heard this, he turned his head and ran back to the camp in fright. Not long after, a fat and big body came out, followed by eight generals, and the fat man was a head taller than all the generals.

Didara, the vanguard commander of the Earth Demons: LV75 (variant leader)

HP: 380000/380000

MP: 380000/380000

Skill:? ?

Zhou Xing was speechless secretly, another group of difficult guys, and he was running out of magic energy arrows.

"Respected envoy, welcome!" Didara stared at the sword on Zhou Xing's waist for a few seconds before saying with a smile.

"Hello, Commander Didara." Zhou Xing smiled without daring to put on airs.

"Excuse me, special envoy, what's going on with the hundreds of slaves behind you? Is there no shortage of people in Devil City? Or is it that the monarch is specially rewarding everyone?" Didara swallowed secretly and said.

"The monarch's reward will naturally be there, and it will be very generous, but it will have to wait until after the Xingyun City is broken. These people I brought are all props for this purpose. Your lord ordered me to bring them to the Xingyu City. , as human shields, so that their defenders will not dare to fire! Our army can successfully attack the city!"

As soon as he heard that it was the monarch's idea, Didara immediately praised it: "Oh, wonderful! It's wonderful! Long live the monarch! This idea is great!... Uh, wait a minute, what if they still fire?"

Zhou Xing smiled and said: "Then they will become meat scraps, and you can enjoy them in advance!"

"Hahaha, this idea is delicious! Long live the monarch!" Didara laughed heartily.

"It's not too late, let's go now!" Zhou Xing said, he was very worried that there would be pursuers behind him, and if that happened, everything would be ruined.

"Okay, that's great! I'm going to take down Starfall City this time!" Didara said loudly, "The whole battalion obeys the order! Go to Starfall City immediately!"

Not long after, thousands of demons left the camp and began to march in a hurry, and more than 400 humans were loaded into prison cars, lined up, and walked in front of the team, forming a human shield.

Along the way, Zhou Xing was terrified, and Prince Jean was also loaded into the prison car. He was really afraid that this plan would go awry. Waiting for everyone to fry into meat sauce.

Soldiers are in danger!

Didara seemed to see that victory was just around the corner, and kept urging him to speed up his march. In less than an hour, Zhou Xing was able to see the tall Starfall City in the distance.

The furthest range of the city cannons is generally about five miles. When thousands of people entered the range of the cannons, the top of the city did not fire.

Zhou Xing let go of his hanging heart and raised it again. This shows that the defenders saw the human shield and were very afraid and didn't fire. But if this happens, the main city will be in danger!

"Hahaha! The monarch's trick really worked!" Deidala was overjoyed, and ordered the whole army to continue to accelerate and prepare to charge.

Zhou Xing gritted his teeth, and spent 200 gold coins to buy a telescope from the system store. He wanted to know more about the situation of the defenders. As a result, he saw his old acquaintance, Colonel Gerald. Standing at the head of the city, his brows were furrowed, and he gave orders from time to time.

Zhou Xing knew it well, so he took advantage of the army speeding up and the scene was very chaotic, put away General Tiger, shook out a scroll of deserters, and jumped to the top of Xingyun City in the blink of an eye.
