The biography of Hu Liena of Douluo

Chapter 9 Blood-stained Star

There was no title, and the battle report began with the sentence, "The Star City was defended, and the spirit beasts retreated." Through the thin letter paper, the excitement of the person who wrote the letter could be vaguely seen.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong let out a long sigh of relief, and relaxed her fingers that were already turning white on the letter paper. However, when he continued to look down, the more he looked at Bibi Dong, the tighter his brows became.

"Sanzongfeng is organizing casualty and loss statistics and carrying out aftermath work. He will lead the remaining three thousand palace guards back to Wuhun City in the near future."

The description was extremely dull, but in Bibi Dong's eyes, it was the ultimate cruelty. Cold sweat instantly oozed from her forehead, more than when she just ate a large bowl of soul beast meat.

Even though the core of Wuhun Palace had already realized that "generals will inevitably die in a hundred battles", Bibi Dong almost lost her composure and cried in public.

She was now eager to know the whereabouts of the seven thousand palace guards and the five and six worshipers, Hu Liena's parents. If something happened to them, Bibi Dong might not know how to face Hu Liena and Xie Yue in the future.

"The sixth worshipper is currently unconscious; the fifth worshipper was injured, but fortunately his life is not in danger. The two will stay in Zhenxing City to recuperate. At the same time, there will also be a thousand seriously injured members of the Imperial Palace Army and a thousand lightly wounded soldiers who are responsible for taking care of them. Wounded."

Fortunately, what followed brought Bibi Dong back half a foot from the brink of collapse. For a moment, Bibi Dong didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Just like Bibi Dong said, she also has selfish motives. Although the deaths of ordinary people and even the palace guards made Bibi Dong extremely heartbroken, they did not have a huge impact on her sanity.

But the injuries of Xie Shengjun and Hu Yunxian still made her miss her even more. Sure enough, she is not an absolutely rational person after all, and will still be swayed by emotions.

The letter ends with further details and is expected to be delivered within one day. This letter is very short, no more than a hundred words. But it still cast a gloomy tone on Wuhun Hall.

Sure enough, just when Bibi Dong, Hu Liena and the others were supposed to be having dinner, the detailed battle report was finally delivered. Although Bibi Dong has been sitting in her old position in the hall since breakfast and has not moved, Hu Liena has been silently accompanying her.

The detailed battle report spanned several pages, although in Hu Liena's opinion, it was written in blood. The content is roughly as follows:

Something strange happened with this beast wave. The spirit beasts were actually hiding their tracks before approaching the human city. They were not discovered by roving scouts until the spirit beast army approached within twenty miles of the city. But it's too late.

The army of nearly one million soul beasts is divided into seven groups, each group is led by several soul beasts that are between 7 and below years old. The seven armies of spirit beasts lurked close to the seven cities that were initially destroyed, and launched brutal attacks at the same time, giving no time for humans to react.

Faced with an attack by a soul beast that is at least as powerful as a human soul, how can a small town dominated by civilians be able to defend it. In addition, when the soul beasts besieged the city, whether intentionally or unintentionally, there were very few soul beasts on the side of the city leading to the main city behind. The only ones that were known for their speed and tracking ability rather than their combat effectiveness.

After discovering this, the people trapped in the city must have immediately thought of retreating to the main city behind them to seek the protection of the main city. Public opinion in the city was boiling, and the city lords no longer insisted on waiting for help, but chose to "strategically retreat."

The strange thing is that even if the soul beasts over there discovered the humans leaving the city, they did not attack them. They just watched them Wu Yangyang leave the city and fled towards the main city. It wasn't until most of the people in the city left the city that the spirit beasts started the pursuit that should have started long ago.

How could a civilian team composed of mostly civilians outrun the powerful soul beasts? When they found themselves in such despair that they could neither run away nor return, many people collapsed.

But the strange thing is that the soul beasts did not rush into the crowd and kill them randomly as they imagined. Instead, like the human army, they controlled from three sides and drove these refugees towards the main city like a tide.

The spirit beasts all stopped about a mile away from the main city, and looked at the densely packed refugees under the main city wall. Under pressure, the main city finally decided to open a small gate on each side to allow refugees to enter the city one by one.

Seeing that the city gate was finally opened, the refugees, who had been frightened for a long time, still managed to enter the main gate and the small gate. Driven by fear, they rushed towards the city gate. The city gate guards quickly lost control of the situation. No matter how they were frightened, they could not stop the chaos. They even hacked to death several of the leaders of the charge, which only aroused the ferocity of the refugees.

Looking at the horrifying bloodshot and red eyes of the Refugee Gate, they finally had no choice but to retreat back to the city wall, watching the Refugee Gate crowd in through the small city gate like rotten meat squeezed out of a meat grinder. Forced by the spirit beasts waiting in formation not far away, no one dared to open the main gate of the main city.

The spirit beasts just watched and waited, motionless; the refugees just pushed, trampled, and swarmed in. The meat grinder-like scene lasted for a full hour, and in the end, less than one-tenth of the refugees successfully entered the main city.

More people have either been trampled into mud by their own kind, or they have been trampled to the ground and groaned in pain. Rivers of blood flowed into the small city gate passage and within a hundred steps in front and back, and stumps were everywhere.

What makes people don't know whether to think it ironic or lamentable is that before the soul beast even bites people to death, the refugees staged a meat grinder tragedy on their own just out of fear, and the direct murderer who killed them turned out to be The rest of their kind are trying to survive.

If the spirit beasts rush into the crowd and bite and kill humans, perhaps most humans will still choose to run away. But there will definitely be people who choose to fight the soul beasts, perhaps because they have no hope of escaping, or because they have people who need to be protected with their lives, although the result will still not change.

But the soul beasts just looked at them, maintaining a considerable threat but also keeping a considerable distance, which made people even more desperate.

No one chose to rush into the group of soul beasts in the opposite direction to fight with the soul beasts. Instead, they were all like headless flies, putting their hope of escape in rushing into the main city away from their peers, and even attacked those who stood in front of them. Same kind, kill with pain

I have to say that this rather "involved" scene is so sad and heartbreaking, yet so powerless and helpless.

The fact that the spirit beasts indirectly killed hundreds of thousands of people without even using a single soldier is probably enough to make everyone who knows the inside story feel sad and desperate.

Finally, the city lord gave the order in confusion, closing the city gates and opening the intercity formation.

With a "buzz" sound, the blue light curtain slowly rose. The people who were still moaning and gasping for breath outside the formation were all pushed out of the blue by the light curtain. The blue light curtain divides the world into two sides, one is heaven and the other is hell.

When the soul beasts saw the mutual city magic circle rising, they all stepped forward to eat the corpses and limbs, and by the way ended the pain of those who were lying on the ground, lingering and wailing in despair.

After the "feast", the spirit beasts retreated to the place a mile away, clearly distinguishable. They just guarded the main city firmly and did not take the initiative to attack the formation. No one was allowed to enter or exit. It seems to be waiting for the formation to run out of energy.

A few days later, the energy of the array was reduced to less than half. The Lord of Zhenxing City had no choice but to send a letter of request for help to the Empire and Wuhun Palace.

Many copies of the letter were sent out, but unfortunately most of them disappeared, and the people who carried them also disappeared.

Only one "lucky person" found the right path and sent the letter for help to Wuhun Palace
