Chapter 202 Breaking the City
"This, this..." Zhong Cheng looked at the tombstone in front of him and couldn't say a word. No wonder the tone of the city owner just spoke was so strange. It turned out that he had already known that Elder Gotar was dead! But Zhong Cheng never dreamed that the old man Gotal had fallen asleep in the tomb!
The place where Zhong Cheng is located is a cemetery in the northwest of Tamu City, which is specially built for the elders. After promising Zhong Cheng to see the old man Gotal, the city owner did not say too much nonsense, but directly took Zhong Cheng to the tombstone of the old man Gotal. At this time, the city owner was looking at Zhong Cheng with a mocking face. There was not only sarcasm in his eyes, but also anger!
"Don't you know that Elder Gotar died on the first day of the siege of the Jiang army? How dare he shout that he is here to find Elder Gottal! Boy, you are very smart! Did you deliberately say this because you knew that there was no proof of death? Ah!" Speaking of anger, the city owner couldn't help clenching his fist and burst out an extremely strong murderous intention in his body!
However, Zhong Cheng at this time did not care about the murderous intention from the main body of the city. His eyes had been staring at the fast and more delicate tombstone in front of him, and his mind was as messy as boiling water.
The death of the old Gotar means that the clues to the Drian tribe are broken again. Zhong Cheng's disappointment can be imagined that a clue he finally got was cut off so neatly. He was very clear in his heart that he would not encounter such an opportunity again. It seems that it is indeed extremely difficult to find the Drian tribe!
Thinking of this, the disappointed Zhong Cheng couldn't help shaking his head slightly. And in the eyes of the city owner, he naturally only said that Zhong Cheng was pretending, and he couldn't help but be more angry and shouted, "Kid! Didn't you hear what I asked you?"
Zhong Cheng turned his head and looked at the city owner, moved his lips, and was about to say something when an armored soldier suddenly rushed in from outside the cemetery. Several arrows rushed to the city owner and bowed his head and said, "It's not a big deal! The general has begun to attack the city in an all-round way!"
The city owner's body was shocked, and his attention suddenly shifted from Zhong Cheng's body. He turned his head to stare at the soldier and said, "What are you talking about? Full siege!? How can the Prime Minister of Jiang be so courageous? Doesn't he want to trap us in the city?"
"Return to the city lord, according to the detective's report, the commander of Jiang Jun's middle army has been transformed from the prime minister of Jiang to the great general of Jiang. As soon as the general took the position of commander, he immediately ordered the army to attack the city!"
"General? Junlang!" The city owner exclaimed the name, and his eyes were both surprised and frightened. Of course, he knows how afraid this Junlang is compared with the submissive Cheng.
Hearing all this in Zhong Cheng's ears, Zhong Cheng had to shake his head secretly and thought, "I didn't expect Junlang to move so quickly. In less than a day, the Prime Minister of Jiang was erased. After all, he is a descendant of the Medical God family. He is indeed a cruel and powerful figure.
At this time, it is in a tense period, so the city owner can't care about the existence of Zhong Cheng, an outsider, and directly asked, "How is the situation now? How long can the soldiers guarding the city stand it?"
The messenger shook his head with sadness and said, "According to the current situation, the troops defending the city can only hold out for half a day at most. It is estimated that one of the four gates will be destroyed first by tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Uh! Is it already so urgent?" The city owner clenched his fist and gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the altar quickly and ask the high priest how long the sacrificial ceremony will last!"
"Yes!" The soldier answered loudly and hurried out of the cemetery.
After the soldier left, the city lord sighed and said to more than a dozen guards around him, "Don't follow me. Go to the South Gate to volunteer!"
These guards knew the strength of the city owner and knew that the current situation was urgent, so they all bowed down and said "yes" and left in a hurry. In the huge cemetery, there were only two people left, Zhong Cheng and the city owner.
The sky is gloomy, and the scenery of the cemetery is also gloomy. Dead branches are everywhere, and black crows are everywhere. It is like a space of death. At this moment, even a trace of life can't be detected.
Zhong Cheng quietly looked at the back of the city owner. He suddenly felt that the middle-aged man in front of him seemed to be much older in an instant. Even if he is as firm as the city lord, what else can he do in front of the fierce Jiang army without sighing helplessly? His strength is indeed very strong, but it is only stronger than Zhong Cheng, if he really lets him compete with Junlang. Zhong Cheng believes that the winner is still Junlang, a descendant of the god of medicine.
"Ha ha, it's ridiculous, isn't it?" The city owner in front of him suddenly sneered, shook his head, turned around and sighed, "I'm really confused. Think about it, Jiang Jun is so powerful that there is really no need to send any spies or insiders. As long as you make up your mind to attack the city, it will only be a matter of time before the city is broken.
After hearing this, Zhong Cheng was shocked and couldn't help asking, "What does the city lord mean?"
The city lord sighed long, nodded and said, "Well, I figured it out. If you are really Junlang's subordinate, you really don't need to panic like this. Now Junlang has begun to attack the city. I believe that before the sacrificial ceremony is completed, our Tamu City will fall. There is no need to make any conspiracy at all, is there?"
Although this is the case, Zhong Cheng doesn't want to go to many places to attack the confidence of the city owner at this time, so he comforted him: "City Lord, don't be so pessimistic. I don't know when the ceremony will end! Maybe the ceremony of sacrificing to heaven would have been completed before Jiang Jun destroyed the city?
The city owner smiled bitterly and sighed, "I hope so!" After saying that, he said, "Yes, I haven't introduced myself yet!" My name is Tamuri, the owner of this city and the son of the dead Elder Gotar..." With that, Tamari looked deeply at the tombstone beside him, and his eyes were full of sadness. This look is the look of the dying man, and Zhong Cheng is very sorry. Although he didn't know much about this Anglo, Zhong Cheng felt uncomfortable only by thinking about the relationship between this nation and the sword god, and the simple folk customs of this nation.
"Actually, there should be a way to avoid this war." After thinking about it again and again, Zhong Cheng still said his thoughts.
Maybe he felt that the overall situation had been decided. Ta Muli's face did not show too much excitement, but asked faintly, "Oh? There is such a thing, you say.
Zhong Cheng was not in a hurry to express his idea, but asked, "Do you know why Jiang Guo sent troops out?"
The city owner thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "To be honest, we have also thought about this kind of thing, but we have not come to a conclusion yet. All we know is that since Jiang has sent troops, we have to do our best to resist the invasion!"
"Because you enshrined an artifact to chase the moon bow!" Zhong Cheng looked into the eyes of the city owner and said word by word, "That's why Jiang Guo launched this war!"
"Do they want to get the soul chasing the moon bow? Ha ha, that's true!" There was no expression on Tamuli's face, and it could be seen that he had already guessed the result. Seeing the expression of the city owner, Zhong Cheng had no choice but to sigh helplessly.
Zhong Cheng shook his head, sighed slightly, and said, "Lord, you know that you must have an idea in your heart, right?"
Tauli nodded and said, "As you think, the moon bow is a legacy left by my Anglo ancestors. Even if we and our descendants fight for our lives, we have to keep this artifact!" Even if Jiang Guo grabs it, we will never compromise! When you don't fight until a soldier dies, it is impossible for the soul to chase the moon bow!" Although his voice is not loud, it has its own momentum that is difficult to refute.
Zhong Cheng is not like rebuting Tamuri, because this national spirit is not allowed to be refuted by him. But Zhong Cheng didn't want to give up like this, so Zhong Cheng continued to say, "I know how important it is for the Yingte people to chase the moon bow, but do you know the city owner? This time, it is not Jiang Guo who wants to get the moon bow, but the medical god family, one of the three god families on the Tongshen continent! The enemy you are facing now is not the iron horse of Jiang! It's the descendant of the god of medicine! He is the top god sist! If the other party really wants to end this war, just send a strong man to use an ancient magic, and it's all over!"
