The pa.s.sageway that the southern people has built was not s.p.a.cious enough to let people walk side by side . And now, the pa.s.sageway was full of branches, a person can hardly even walk, but… …
The southern people have no other choice . The underground palace was not completely built yet . They only have this pa.s.sageway to get out . They wanted to save their strength to go out alive . So, they choose to clear the branches in the pa.s.sageway and put out the fire on the surface .
Fifty people rushed in without hesitation . They were the dead men of the south . Although they were afraid of death, they didn’t dare to shrink back .
They were very clear that if they can’t get out of here, people like them will die first . Instead of dying in an underground palace, it’s better to pave a way .
With this conviction, the fifty southern men screamed and rushed to the fire .
*Crack* The sound of branches breaking could be heard as the fifty people walked in one by one .
The current section of the road was still smooth, they didn’t encounter much danger . However, the more they go further out, the dangerous it gets… …
“Don’t blindly rush in!”
“Be sure to succeed!”
“It’s all up to you!”
The people who were at the rear, regardless of the smoke, they screamed and anxiously waited, but it was useless!
In a short period of time, there were sad screaming in the pa.s.sage . When the southern people inside heard of it, they couldn’t help but think: The eastern people are too much!
The southern people blindly accused the eastern people, they forgot that this was the eastern territory . They cultivated soldiers privately in the eastern’s site, which was something they shouldn’t have done . The eastern now wanted to destroy them, so what’s wrong with it?
Unfortunately, this simple truth, southern people cannot think of it . In their point of view, the eastern people attached more importance to literature than military power, it’s military strength are weakening . A group of scholars, who only know how to read, what qualification do they have to occupy the most fertile land in the continent?
In the point of view of southern people, the wealth of the east should belong to them . Because most of the southern people were descendants of the old dynasty . They were the rightful heirs of this continent . All these richness are theirs . The eastern people shamelessly robbed them .
“You, you, you… …rushed in, we mustn’t let the treacherous eastern people succeed . ” As the screaming in the pa.s.sageway continued, the people in front lost their senses and rushed into the front regardless of danger .
Dead men have no right to speak . Even if they know that the front will end their life . Even if they didn’t actually want to rush out, they had to rush… …
More and more dead men rushed into the entrance of the pa.s.sageway . They were covered with wet quilts, so they used their body to extinguish the fire inside . They desperately pushed the branches out the pa.s.sageway to clear the way .
With their persistence, the southern people were able to pushed back the burning branches . Fortunately, Demon Lord’s people were prepared and didn’t get surprised by seeing this scene .
Instead of continuing to ignite the entrance of pa.s.sageway, they piled branches in the deep pond . And soon, the piled up branches became as tall as the hill . After that, they poured oil and lit it up… …
The southern people risked their lives to clear the pa.s.sageway, but they didn’t expect there will be a raging fire outside .
“Not good, go and tell his highness, that the eastern people are igniting fire outside . We can’t get out . ” The southern man in front yelled to the person behind him .
When the news pa.s.sed down, the last person turned and ran back to report .
“The eastern people, the eastern people are igniting fire outside . We can’t get out . ” The people who were waiting inside fired up in anger after hearing the news .
They regretted it, they really regretted it!
If they knew things would become like this . They should have faced and fought with Xiao w.a.n.gye at that time . Even if they were defeated, at least they can fight to survive, unlike now… …
Right now, wanting to fight has even become a luxury!
Nannuo Li couldn’t sit still at the back . When he heard the news, he had a bad feeling .
This is to kill him in the East!
Nannuo Li took a deep breath and said: “Everyone, get ready to rush outside!”
“Yes!” All the leaders and soldiers said in unison . They know very well that the later they leave, the greater the danger will be .
The underground palace has no shortage of water . They jumped into the water first and wet their body before they rush into the pa.s.sageway… …
Thousands of southern soldiers came forward and rushed to the pa.s.sageway, they quickly pushed out the branches and also helped put out the fire in the entrance .
The fire brightly lit the pa.s.sageway . The southern dead men soldiers were human beings . They were in so much pain, that they couldn’t help but get angry, and also wanting to go back, but… …
No!
Behind them, there were lots of people . They kept pus.h.i.+ng them forward . So, they have no other choice but to jump into the fire and let themselves be killed by it!
To be pushed into the sea of fire was absolutely cruel, but they must jump in .
“Ah…” Painful screamed sounded as the southern soldiers in front jumped into the sea of fire .
Jumping into the sea of fire will not take a person’s life immediately, so… …
The emperor’s people and Demon Lord’s people saw some figures putting out the fire, running out of the fire, and rolling themselves on the ground, while others just stupidly running around everywhere .
Demon Lord watched this scene with cold eyes . He then lifted his right arm and gently waved his fingers as he saw more and more people came out: “Give them a reward!”
This compa.s.sion seemed like giving people a new life .
“Yes!” However, Demon Lord’s people took out their sword and rushed forward .
The emperor’s people respected Demon Lord, but they didn’t listen to his order . While Demon Lord’s people rushed to kill the southern soldiers, they just kept adding branches into the fire and sent arrows from time to time… …
More and more southern people rushed out of the pa.s.sageway . Making the emperor’s people rushed to add more branches . However, they couldn’t stop them from getting out . Soon, the fire became smaller and smaller . The southern people who rushed outside immediately rolled themselves to the ground to put out the fire in their body .
The southern people couldn’t help but rejoiced: “Hurry, come out now, the fire is almost gone!”
When they heard those words, the rest of the southern people in the pa.s.sageway come out running . And indeed, the fire was getting smaller and smaller .
At this point in time, the leader in charge didn’t hesitate anymore . He pulled out his sword, but Demon Lord was one step faster than him .
Demon Lord took a step back and waved his right hand: “Send the arrows!”
What?
When the emperor’s people heard of it, they were shocked: There are archers here?
The emperor’s people haven’t regained their senses, but a rain of arrows came out from all directions of the woods . Several numbers of flying arrows even pa.s.sed through their ears .
The emperor’s people got scared and had a cold sweat . They secretly rejoiced that didn’t oppose Demon Lord . Otherwise, they will not know how they died today .
As the rain of arrows came, the southern people, who rushed outside died instantly . Voices of unwillingness to die sounded and almost break their eardrums .
The sudden rain of blood in the mountains could make people tremble in fear . But all this has nothing to do with Lin Chujiu . After she and the Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s guardsmen left the Lingyun courtyard . She arrived smoothly in Xiao w.a.n.gfu . However, before she could come out of the carriage, Housekeeper Cao eagerly ran towards her, because… …
A tragic accident occurs!
