Chapter 1599

Only a few dozen soldiers were standing guard.

Unlike the past, there were not so many soldiers guarding the city wall.

It was unknown whether the soldiers had suffered heavy losses or what the reason was.

In any case, the number of soldiers on the city wall was very small now.

"It will be dark soon."

"Every time it gets dark, those monsters will swarm over."

"We have been guarding here for quite a while now."

"I wonder if the Empire has received the news from here?"

"I wonder when they will come to support us?"

"I am truly afraid that if we stay here for a long time, even we will be left here."

"Fortunately, the commoners in the city have all been transferred to Liaoxi Commandery."

"Otherwise, if so many people were here and it was breached, it would be miserable."

"Fortunately, we are at the Dongmen; if we were at the West Gate, it would be even more dangerous."

The soldiers on the city wall discussed it heatedly, and their emotions were very low.

Everyone's complexion was not very good.

They had been trapped in this city for several days.

Every night,

the roar like that of a wild beast echoed endlessly beneath the city.

Sometimes, with the help of light, they could see that they were those infected people.

Their arrows were almost exhausted.

All the arrows had been consumed on these infected people.

These infected people were very powerful, and bows and arrows could not kill them.

Unless one could shoot through the skull with one arrow, they would not die easily.

This was also the experience they had explored during combat.

Fortunately, there was a city here, and the city wall was high enough.

It blocked all the infected people outside the city.

Otherwise, they would be in danger.

Now they were forced to stop in this city.

Leaving was not easy either; apart from the commoners being able to leave,

the soldiers could not think of leaving, because they had to guard this city.

Otherwise, once those infected people came in, this plague could not be controlled.

This was undoubtedly a terrifying natural disaster for all of Great Qin.

This Liaoyang Commandery was the last barrier.

If this city gate was breached, if this place fell,

then those infected people outside would attack.

Then Great Qin would be in danger.

Behind the city were thousands upon thousands of Qin people.

The soldiers had to guard this place.

They must not let this kind of plague enter Great Qin.

Otherwise, if Great Qin were infected by this plague, it would certainly suffer countless casualties.

Soldiers who had fought against the infected knew that the infected were too strong, too strong.

They were completely fearless of death, fearless of pain, and could not be killed.

Unless their heads were blown up, they could not die.

Most importantly, being bitten or scratched by them would also lead to infection.

Therefore, everyone was very afraid of these infected people.

If they did not continue to eliminate these monsters, the city gate would be breached by them.

Therefore, they could only guard here.

Waiting here for the Empire to send people to support them.

And over these past few days, more and more infected people had gathered outside the city.

Among them were commoners of Great Qin, as well as people from the Gija State.

They were all a group of people infected by the plague, who had become walking corpses.

While the soldiers were communicating in low spirits,

a middle-aged man who looked like a general walked over with several soldiers.

When the soldiers saw the person who had come, they stopped talking one after another.

"Greetings, General Tu."

"Greetings, General Tu."

"No need for formalities."

Tu Donghai waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for formalities.

"You are too depressed."

"How can you guard the city like this?"

Tu Donghai frowned slightly.

He would patrol at irregular times every day.

He would walk through the city gate towers on all four sides.

Now seeing the soldiers so passive,

he saw it in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart.

But he had no better way for the time being.

He could only try every possible way to inspire them.

This was the Dongmen city wall, facing Liaoxi Commandery.

This position was still quite safe.

The most dangerous was the West Gate.

The West Gate faced precisely those people infected with the plague.

The soldiers at the Dongmen were there to open the gates for the people coming from the Empire.

Therefore, there were not many soldiers here.

More soldiers were at the West Gate.

If there was an attack, it would also be at the West Gate.

The West Gate faced the Great Wall and the people of the Gija State outside.

"When have the brave soldiers of Great Qin ever feared a challenge?"

"Although these man-eating monsters are very powerful,"

"and I do not know how they appeared,"

"when has Great Qin ever feared?"

"With the strength of Great Qin, when have we ever feared such a challenge?"

"You are all good sons of Great Qin; you should not fear the wind and rain!"

"You are now at the Dongmen, which is safer than the West Gate!"

"The soldiers at the West Gate are the most dangerous!"

"If the comrades at the West Gate see you so depressed,"

"they will certainly become depressed as well."

"Now we must pull ourselves together to face all of this!"

Tu Donghai's voice echoed over the city wall.

Hearing this, the dozens of soldiers withdrew their lost emotions.

General Tu was right; their current position was very safe. ===== CHAPTER 1601 =====
