Our goal is to save the world

Twin volcanoes spewed black smoke intermittently, and everyone in the city was terrified.If Gemini Volcano erupted suddenly, the entire Linyuan River Plain would be engulfed in flames immediately.But the more such a moment is, the more chaos cannot be allowed. The palace immediately issued a decree to forbid going out of the city privately, asking the people to go home and pack their things, and wait for unified arrangements before leaving.

There are not so many rules in the villages outside the city, and many people have already left with their families.Because there was a saying that the capital was moved earlier, many people packed up their things in their homes and left with an ox cart.

The Jingwei army went all the way, and there were refugees on the road, and they asked them for food and drink.

Qiu Lufeng frowned, it was impossible to harden his heart and drive these farmers back home, but they all escaped, and this season's grain harvest would be nothing.

Only about [-]% of the fields and mountainous areas were affected, while wells and canals were mainly damaged on the plains.But if we go to Linyuan River to carry water, at least half of the land can be kept. If Yu Yusheng can come up with some ideas, maybe the loss can be reduced to a small amount.

But a large number of people, the population is all right, but the houses have collapsed, and with the threat of the Twin Volcanoes, they all walked along the road.They went south along Linyuan, and when they reached the mouth of the river, they swam over if they could swim, and turned eastward if they couldn't, and continued walking along Jiushen Mountain.

No one, I'm afraid that no matter how smart Yu Tiaosheng is, he is a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

At noon, the palace quickly chased out a decree, asking Qiu Lufeng to lead people to drive the farmers back first, and not let them go to Yanle City without permission.If you just rely on walking, it may take a month to walk, there are fierce beasts and bandits along the way, and there is no food and water, and half of the people along the way may fall into the grass.

But how soft-hearted Qiu Lufeng was, even though he knew it was right to keep these talents.But looking at the twin volcanoes that continued to smoke in the distance, if these people were really asked to go back, they might not survive the eruption, so they had to turn a deaf ear to this order.Anyway, it was the Jingwei Army who came out to deliver the letter on a fast horse, and they were all his subordinates.He made up his mind that even if these people left, he could file an apology and organize [-] Beijing guards to help Xia Harvest, at least half of the production could be kept.

Yu Yusheng probably couldn't wait for a reply, so he sent another team after a while.Qiu Lufeng had no choice but to ask someone to bring a letter back, saying that he knew it, but he still didn't take any action.

Not long after, the third team passed by the person who was going to answer the letter. They ran out of breath, their faces turned pale, and the messenger rolled off his horse and stopped in front of Qiu Lufeng's horse: "General, something is not right, hurry up and chase the people away." Come back! The beast tide is coming!"

The beast hordes dared to attack even the city walls. If they encountered scattered people, they would probably eat them as extra meals.

Qiu Lufeng immediately sent people to recover half of the people who went to rescue the disaster from the nearby teams, plus more than 2000 people like himself, and made up 5000 people, and hurried to the east.

The rangers who came out with Yang Zhi were eager to try, but the small village in the mountains they wanted to rescue was also waiting for help, and the Jingwei Army had horses. They ran, and they would be exhausted when they ran. How could they hunt and kill ferocious beasts? .What's more, they originally only wanted to hunt and kill ordinary lone beasts, so how dare they go straight to the beast tide.

Only Yang Zhi and several masters had profound skills and chased them on foot.

Qiu Lufeng ran for a while, and when he saw seven or eight people following, he ordered his men to take out horses.As they walked all the way, the soldiers on the horse kept shouting loudly: "The beast horde is about to attack, return to the city immediately! The animal horde is about to attack, return to the city immediately!"

Those farmers who brought their families with them heard the beast tide, and it was much more powerful than the Twin Volcanoes, who didn't know if they would erupt.Some families didn't even want the ox carts, and took their wives and children and ran towards Yango City, or even left their children and the elderly and ran away alone.

The Jingwei army could only keep sending out manpower to help with cooking.All the way around the easternmost village, along the Linyuan River to the east.The official road has gradually changed from sixteen horses parallel to eight horses parallel. Weeds are overgrown on both sides of the road, the forest is dense on the east side, and the rolling Linyuan River is on the west side.

More than 4000 horses galloped away, which made people feel that the ground was shaking for a while.The sporadic people on the side of the road were all persuaded to return, and then went to a place where there were no people.

The original post station was abandoned due to the beast tide. Tea tables and bamboo sheds fell to the ground, covered with dead leaves, and earthen graves stood alone by the roadside.

After running for nearly an hour, Qiu Lufeng gradually felt that something was wrong, so he reined in his horse and sent someone back to ask for a letter.He walked three beacon towers, and the people in the stands did not see the beast tide.

Qiu Lufeng was furious for a moment, he originally admired Yu Tiaosheng very much.Now, in order to keep the residents of the nearby villages, they falsely reported military information.But in an instant, he thought again, if Yanyou's permission was still required for this matter, it would be useless for him to get angry, and he would not be able to punish Yu Yusheng.

He sent 1000 people to leave an adjutant, and continued to search, and he returned with 4000 people.

On the way back, there was no need to be so anxious, but Qiu Lufeng still rushed to ride his horse, and ran back to Yange City, there were no horses and men, and it was already evening.

People who went out to rescue disasters also kept coming back and reporting their losses.Another group of people came to ask for help, saying that more than a dozen fierce beasts were found on the western front, and they were heading towards the resettlement site for the people outside the city.

After running for nothing all day, Qiu Lufeng led his people to the west again.Because there were only a dozen fierce beasts, he only ordered 1000 people.Most of the rangers who followed felt that the trip was in vain and returned to the city angrily, only Yang Zhi followed.

Yang Zhi rode his horse to catch up with Qiu Lufeng, cupped his hands and said, "General."

"What's the matter?" Qiu Lufeng said with a sullen face.

"General, do you know a story about a wolf coming?"

Qiu Lufeng suppressed his anger and said, "I don't know."

"The story is very simple, that is, a child said that a wolf came. The adults went to hunt wolves, but in fact there were no wolves. After so many times, the adults stopped. Then the child was eaten by wolves. Do you think this is the same as now? The situation is quite similar."

"Don't worry about Yang Daxia. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the Jingwei Army will be dispatched. The attack of fierce beasts is no joke!" Qiu Lufeng said coldly.

Yang Zhi laughed: "Isn't it the best result if there is no beast horde today? If you really see corpses strewn all over the field, people are slaughtered and devoured..."

"Hero Yang, what you said is very true. Someone is just following the order." Qiu Lufeng interrupted Yang Zhi coldly, clamped his horse's belly, and galloped again.

Yang Zhi was stunned, sighed lightly, and glanced in the direction of Yan Ge City.He knew that the Twin Volcanoes would not erupt. Now as long as the fire spirit stone spirit is still there, it can automatically absorb the excess fire elements and prevent the heat from overflowing.It's just that this natural disaster can be saved, but if there is a man-made disaster, it will not be saved.

The ominous beasts here on the western front are not lying. More than a dozen small ominous beasts are entrenched at the foot of the mountain, separated from the people's gathering place by a fence.The dozen or so Jingwei soldiers who stayed behind surrounded the brazier inside the animal pen to stop the beast from moving.

Half of the people had been evacuated, and some wounded were lying in temporary sheds. There were only two teams of soldiers driving horse-drawn carts to transport the wounded back and forth.

The ferocious beast pawed on the ground restlessly. Seeing that the delicious food was getting less and less, it was ready to jump over the animal pen and rush in several times.The soldiers observed the beast, and saw that their hind legs were trying to jump up, so they slammed their swords on the scabbard to scare the beast so that it couldn't jump up.But this method was used too much, which aroused the anger of the beast instead.

Qiu Lufeng led the Jingwei army, stepped on the waist-deep water of the river, bypassed the animal fence, and went straight to the beast.

The ferocious beasts have learned to be smart. They backed up as soon as they heard the sound of horseshoes, and climbed up the mountain. Their thick limbs hooked on the rocks, condescending, roaring, spitting fire, stones, and venom.

"Bow!" Qiu Lufeng shouted loudly, and picked up the hard bow and iron arrow hanging behind the horse.

Yang Zhi's horse was also hung with bows, ordinary soldiers only use five-strand bows, but the Jingwei army is the elite of the fire clan, who can draw seven-strand bows.It's just that for Yang Zhi, the strength of this bow is still too small.He drew his bow to the full, aimed at the biggest beast, and shot the arrow, hitting the chest, but the strength was insufficient, barely piercing through the flesh of the beast.

Qiu Lufeng and his soldiers also flew random arrows. Out of a thousand arrows, five or six out of ten hit, but even though most of them hit, the arrows couldn't pierce the scales of the beast and slipped off. In the end, only dozens of arrows were caught On the ferocious beast, there is no pain or itching.

Yang Zhi sighed softly, the fire clan's method of dealing with fierce beasts was too simple.The bow and horse volley is fine for humans, but not very effective for beasts.

But Qiu Lufeng yelled again: "Explosion!"

The soldiers activated the fire crystals of the arrows together, and there was a loud noise. The beasts hit by the arrows were blown to pieces, and the falling arrows also exploded around them, causing rocks to roll down and smoke and dust to rise everywhere.

The Jingwei army retreated to the Linyuan River and waited for a while.Yang Zhi raised his hand and pinched the word "Feng Zi Jue", the smoke and dust were blown away, and the beast fell among the stones, dying of breath.

Yang Zhi put away his contempt.

Qiu Lufeng sent someone to clean it up, and let the Jingwei army take turns to rest, and asked about the people's food and water arrangements, and told the Jingwei army to let the people eat their dinner first, and finally drove towards Yang Zhi: " It's getting late, so Daxia Yang should go back to the city earlier."

"I won't go back, I'll guard it for you. Now most of the village has been destroyed, and the people are all in this temporary gathering place. It's too unsafe. The possibility of a night attack by fierce beasts is too high."

While talking, I saw those soldiers dragging the beast's corpse down the mountain, then bleeding it and smearing it outside the camp, stripping off the animal's skin and hanging it on the animal fence, and burying the animal's meat on the spot.The soldiers acted swiftly and deftly, apparently having done it many times.

"At this gathering point, there won't be any ferocious beasts coming at night. Thank you, Hero Yang, for caring about the people of our Fire Clan. Our Jingwei Army can still do these small things."

Seeing that Qiu Lufeng was on guard against him, Yang Zhi stopped talking, got off his horse, and walked eastward.

"Ride back on your horse!" Qiu Lufeng shouted, "Let go of the horse at the posthouse, it will run back to the Jingwei by itself."

Yang Zhi waved his hand, stepped a little, and Qing Yunyan galloped away, much faster than a horse.
