Doomsday Code

Chapter 136: Evacuating Nanmu Forest

In Nanmu Forest, inside the Eighth Legion’s frontier camp.

At this time, the legion commander Jilong had returned to the camp.

Huidun wanted to explain what happened to Jilong, but Jilong interrupted him with his hand. Jilong's face was full of solemnity and he said:

"I have made a discovery on the front line of the development. The territories of several beast kings that our army had planned at the beginning are in chaos today. The magic beasts in the center of the beast king's territory are all running away and gathering. The beast tide is coming."

"It's no use for us to stay here now. The most urgent thing is to withdraw the team. Only if the army gathers into a formation outside, maybe we can still resist this beast tide."

While Jilong was speaking to Huidun, he ordered his men to order the front-line pioneers to retreat.

At the same time, he also asked people to use the military's unique communication techniques to quickly report the situation here to the Governor's Office of the Western Territory.

After giving the order, Keelung punched the table in front of him and said:

"Damn it, I just hope there's still enough time. At best, this beast tide will only be led by the two beast kings in front of us."

Then Jilong said to Huidun:

"Count, you should withdraw first. We will need your arrangements for the defense of the city later."

After saying this, Keelung left the tent to command the troops.

Huidun looked at Jilong's leaving back, thought for a while, and then said to Torre beside him:

"Let's go, let's retreat first."

Torre was a little surprised, because it seemed that Huidun had never mentioned the word "retreat". In Torre's eyes, Huidun was the man who would never look back because of his passion.

Seeing him like this, Huidun also smiled and said:

"What are you thinking? I am going to organize the evacuation of people and the deployment of supplies outside. Xiao Dun is outside holding chicken feathers as his orders. Will those guys in the church really obey him? Besides, he is not familiar with the supplies in the city."

"Don't worry. I, your Earl, also need to grow up. I won't rush into battle recklessly. I want to be a king, not a reckless general who only knows how to charge into battle."

After hearing what Huidun said, Torre scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. Indeed, the Earl Huidun, to whom he was loyal, had changed a lot in his behavior in the past few months.

Just as Huidun and the other two followed out of the tent, they saw Chen Cheng running over in a hurry and said:

"My Lord Earl, Captain Jilong can handle the things here. We need to go back immediately. Without your leadership, there will definitely be chaos in the city."

Chen Cheng was still a little worried about Huidun, so he came to find Huidun after seeing Jilong coming out. He was afraid that Huidun would suddenly get too excited again and say something like he wanted to live and die with the legion.

Seeing his anxious look, Huidun smiled and said:

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you really think I'm a stubborn person? I know exactly where I'm needed right now. Let's go back to the city now."

When they arrived at the barracks gate, Jilong had already asked people to prepare two good horses for Huidun and Tore.

After Huidun got on the horse, he said to the soldier who was leading the horse:

"Tell your captain and all the brothers that I will prepare a perfect rear area for you to retreat to.

Remember, saving your lives is the top priority right now. Don't forget that there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city waiting for the protection of you, the loyal warriors of the kingdom."

After saying this, Huidun turned his horse around and headed out of the forest.

Halfway along the way, Huidun saw that Chen Cheng was riding his Daha faster than himself. He took off his identity seal and threw it to Chen Cheng, saying:

"You are fast. Go back to the city first and take the seal. Ask Tophis to open my treasure house. You may be able to use the things inside."

Chen Cheng took the seal, looked at Huidun, and asked Daha to speed up. In a moment, he disappeared from Huidun's sight.

Chen Cheng also knew what Huidun's last sentence meant. He wanted to replicate the magic defense array that he had set up during the alchemist crisis.

And when Chen Cheng took the seal, it naturally meant that he agreed to his request.

Although the magic circle that was set up before was very crude, it almost destroyed the academy in the end.

However, in the past few months, he has devoted himself to the study of the forging of magic items, which require engraving magic patterns and magic arrays to enhance the power of the magic wand. Naturally, Chen Cheng's attainments in magic arrays are much stronger than before.

Although I still cannot completely deploy the epic defense magic circle, I think it will not be as crude as the previous one, and the defense level and duration will definitely be improved.

If they can really rely on the current power of Huidun City to resist this beast tide, then there will be no need for Chen Cheng to expose his trump card as he had thought of before.

After all, he is not really a cheapskate who really likes being chased by people every day.

However, Chen Cheng felt that the alchemist behind him would definitely not be so easy to deal with, because he had already seen the defense array he had set up before. And since he believed that triggering a beast tide would destroy Huidun City, he must have taken the defense array into consideration.

But before in the camp, Chen Cheng also looked at the distribution of monsters on the forest model in the Keelung tent.

There are only two beast kings living in the forest within a hundred miles of Huidun City. If the guy who took over Coles' body wants to trigger a beast tide, the impact range should be this large with the power he has taken over.

And relying on the beast tide formed by two platinum-level beast kings and thousands of fearless and powerful magical beasts, they might be able to flatten the previous Huidun City.

However, with the support of the defensive magic circle and the coordination of four platinum-level warriors from all parties and the kingdom's elite Eighth Legion, the isolated city of Huidun City may still be saved.

Chen Cheng had only one thought about this, that is, that guy didn't know that the church had sent the Knights of Light led by a platinum-level Knight of Light because of the previous alchemist incident.

After all, he had not been in possession of Coles' body for long, and the Eighth Legion's expansion into the Nanmu Forest had already caused a stir in the city. He might have heard about it after taking over the body.

However, due to their conflicts with Huidun and Jamil, Hel and his Knights of Light did not live in the city, and there were not many rumors about them in the city. Perhaps the guy who took over the body did not know that there was such a force in Huidun City.

Although this idea is a bit ridiculous, Chen Cheng can only think positively.

Because based on Huidun City's current strength, only by thinking this way can we truly withstand this crisis.

Otherwise, if it really exceeds this limit, the power of Wisdom Shield City will not be enough, and only the backup plan left by Samlett on him can reverse everything.

Chen Cheng didn't know about the backup plan left by Samlett, so no matter how much he planned, it would be useless. He would just walk out and die, triggering the backup plan.
