Chapter 5201 The only way!
Within the city.
A large number of soldiers from the two cities rushed to the gap that had more than doubled in size, hoping to kill all the ghost cultivators who were madly rushing into the city.
However, although it is still possible to close such a large gap, it can actually be said that the two armies are now officially fighting.
Because at this time, there were already a lot of soldiers from both sides fighting at the same time. In such a large gap, the fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce, especially the casualties on both sides were also rapidly expanding.
It's just that from the ghost cultivator's point of view, they don't seem to care about this at all. There are still ghost cultivators rushing in crazily, and it feels like they are just going to fight one after another.
But for the two governments, they are reluctant to continue consuming it like this.
The people rushing in front now are basically people with some skills. If they are all destroyed or killed, then the remaining soldiers will not have much meaning no matter how many they are. They will simply die.
"Let those people come down first, and you go up and resist them first!" Seeing that more and more of their people were dying, the Lord of Qingyun City suddenly felt heartbroken and worried, and quickly asked those who had no means to resist them.
Although these people do not have special means to deal with ghost cultivators, it does not mean that they cannot kill ghost cultivators, it is just more difficult.
But there are only a few people with these means, and they can't always let these people charge at the front.
Anyway, there are more people who don't have the means, so let them act as a human wall, and then let those who have the means do the finishing touches from behind. This may be more beneficial to them.
"City Lord Qingyun, I'm afraid it won't work if this continues, look!" I saw Lord Nanwu pointing outside the city.
"That guy still wants to come!" It turned out that the ghost king began to gather ghost energy again, which almost made Lord Qingyun angry to death.
"So we have to think of a way now. If he makes the gap bigger, then even if the Samadhi True Fire Wall has not been completely broken, there will actually be no difference!" The Lord of Nanwu City was also very worried.
said.
"Then what good solution can Master Nanwu have? Although the gap is a bit big now, it is still better than giving up the Samadhi True Fire Wall directly.
In that case, there will be no obstacles for the hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators, and they will all enter the city at once." said the Lord Qingyun.
City Lord Nanwu frowned, what City Lord Qingyun said was true.
Although a large number of ghost warriors can rush through the gap now, at least it is not hundreds of thousands of them rushing in together, so they still have ways to resist, but the loss is too great.
More importantly, this is not a long-term solution. As long as they continue to be consumed like this, even if the Samadhi True Fire Wall is not completely broken, they will have no troops left.
And if this Samadhi True Fire Wall is abandoned now, hundreds of thousands of ghost warriors will rush out of the city in an instant, and the casualties will be immeasurable.
Especially since there are people from two other cities in the city, this is definitely not possible.
As long as this drags on, the ghost king is still gathering ghost energy. If the gap is further expanded, their situation will also be very bad.
At this moment, he suddenly regretted it.
If he had known that the Lord of Qingyun City was so unreliable, he should not have come to Qingyun City, but should have gone in another direction to another city.
In fact, when he came to Qingyun City and learned about the military strength of Qingyun City, he proposed that the Lord of Qingyun City abandon the city and leave.
However, the Lord of Qingyun City blocked the city gate early, not only preventing his people from Qingyun City from leaving the city, but also everyone from their Nanwu City could not leave the city.
In addition, the Lord of Qingyun City has always said that he has a way to destroy the army of ghost cultivators, and always tries to persuade them to stay in Qingyun City and cooperate with them, so he has no choice but to stay.
Of course, he was actually a little lucky himself.
I really think that the Lord of Qingyun City has a way to destroy these ghost cultivators. If Qingyun City can do it, there is no need for his people to travel long distances.
In particular, he also hopes that he can return to Nanwucheng as soon as possible.
Because the shorter the time he leaves Nanwucheng, the easier it will be to rebuild Nanwucheng.
If he had really left Nanwucheng for too long, a few years or even decades, the people of Nanwucheng would have been accustomed to living in other places, so how would they have any sense of belonging to Nanwucheng?
So these various factors were mixed together, and in the end he no longer struggled and could only choose to compromise.
But now, he feels that his idea is really too simple.
No one should be gullible, it may cost them their lives.
If the current situation continues and the gap widens, Qingyun City will completely collapse.
At that time, the people in the city were facing a dead end and it was impossible to escape.
So now it is really difficult for people, stuck between a rock and a hard place, and stuck in a dead end.
"If that doesn't work, maybe we can only open the Samadhi True Fire Wall, and at least we can escape partially." Nanwu City Lord finally said.
Because if we wait until the ghost king expands the gap, then the army of ghost cultivators can basically rush into the city directly.
But because there are Samadhi True Fire Walls in other places, the people in the city cannot escape.
If the Lord of Qingyun City had released the Samadhi True Fire Wall, the army of ghost cultivators would have been killing everyone in the city. How would the people in the city have any chance to escape?
Since they have to wait until that moment anyway, it is better for them to take the initiative to let go. In this case, everyone can take the initiative to escape from the city.
When the army of ghost cultivators entered the city, at least some of them left the city first.
As for the remaining people, he can't control that much at this time. Even the people in Nanwucheng, he feels that it is impossible to save them.
Because no matter what the situation is, these people seem to have only one way to die.
So we can only take advantage of the time when the Samadhi True Fire Wall is released so that some of their Nanwu City soldiers can escape.
If they continue to fight against the army of ghost cultivators like this, the final result will definitely be that none of them will be left.
Although he also knew that this would cost a lot, it was better than being wiped out!
As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.
As long as he is still alive, there will always be a chance to return to Nanwucheng in the future.
And now they have also killed some of the ghost cultivator warriors. When these ghost cultivator armies attack a few more cities, they will probably be almost wiped out.
So at this time, he had to make a choice.
Between retaining some strength and being completely wiped out, everyone must know which one to choose.
"City Lord Qingyun, you have also seen that the ghost king is already gathering ghost energy, and sooner or later he will expand the gap again.
At that time, the Samadhi True Fire Wall actually had no meaning. Instead, it trapped everyone in the city.
So let go of the Samadhi True Fire Wall now and let the people in the city escape for their lives.
We must also withdraw together, otherwise if we continue to fight like this, we will be in a situation where we have no troops to use!" Seeing that Lord Qingyun did not speak, the Lord of Nanwu City persuaded him again.
At this time, he felt that this was the only way to preserve their strength as much as possible.
He knew that the Lord of Qingyun City still wanted to protect Qingyun City and the people in the city, but this was simply impossible.
"Even if I give up the Samadhi True Fire Wall, not many of them will be able to escape!" Lord Qingyun said.
After all, the Samadhi True Fire Wall is gone, so the army of ghost cultivators will definitely enter the city as soon as possible. How many people can escape in such a short period of time?
"That's true. Ordinary people are basically unable to escape from the city. But monks can still escape, especially our soldiers.
As you said before, it is no longer possible for you to save these people, and you must give up when it is time to give up.
Otherwise, not to mention the people in the city, not even our soldiers are left, including ourselves.
Instead of fighting with the ghost cultivators and annihilating our entire army, it is better to leave a little hope for us." It was City Lord Qingyun who persuaded him before, but now it was his turn to persuade City Lord Qingyun.
He must be heartbroken to lose so many people. Even if he goes back in the future, he doesn't know how long it will take to recover.
But compared to the fact that he and his men all died here, this result seems acceptable.
As long as he is still alive, he will always return to Nanwu City. Even if he recovers slowly, it is still better than dying.
"It seems that this is the only way! Let's do it like the Lord Nanwu did!" Qingyun City looked at the two sides fighting fiercely at the gap, then looked at the ghost cultivator who was still gathering ghost energy, and gritted his teeth.
Still have to give up the city.
Originally he was very confident, but he didn't expect that he would persist for so long and finally abandon the city and flee. He was really unwilling to do so.
But no matter how unwilling he was, he also knew that their power was indeed not enough to kill so many ghost cultivators now.
Especially behind him are a group of ghost kings who have never taken action.
"Everyone rush to other city gates immediately and prepare to leave the city immediately!" Although he was about to abandon the city, he still hoped to rescue as many people as possible, so he roared in the city, and the sound spread throughout the city.
When the people in the city heard the voice, they didn't know whose voice it was, but they didn't care about it and rushed towards the three city gates.
Although they already knew that they could not get out of the city gate, but now that someone said so, it meant that they could get out of the city, so they had to give it a try regardless of whether it was true or not.
"You just hold on a little longer, and everyone will retreat when the Samadhi True Fire Wall disappears!" Lord Qingyun then said to the soldiers at the gap.
He has already sent people to the city lord's palace to close the Samadhi True Fire Wall.
This time will not be very long, because the longer he defends, the greater the loss of his troops will be.
Now that he has made this decision, he naturally hopes that as many of his soldiers will survive as possible.
