Chapter 1601

"You all stay here and keep watch."

"Perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will bring people through here."

"Or perhaps he might appear at the South Gate or North Gate instead."

"We cannot guess where His Highness will appear."

"What you must do is open the city gate as soon as you see people from the Empire."

Seeing the soldiers rekindle their hope and fighting spirit, Tu Donghai nodded with satisfaction.

He also nodded with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to say something more.

Soldiers came rushing over rapidly from the direction of the West Gate.

"General Tu, something terrible has happened!"

The soldier reported while panting for breath.

At the same time, his complexion looked a bit off.

His entire face had turned very pale.

It was as if he had been struck by some kind of shock.

"What happened?"

Tu Donghai felt a bit depressed.

The sky had not yet turned completely dark today.

According to past patterns, those infected with the plague would not appear so quickly.

Yet this soldier had come to find him in such a hurry.

"The soldiers we sent to patrol have sent back news."

"Countless infected have appeared ten li outside the West Gate."

"They are coming in a mighty, surging force in this direction."

"The number might be tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand!"

As soon as the soldier's voice fell, countless gasps of air suddenly erupted all around.

"Hiss..."

"What should we do now?"

"Tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand infected appearing all at once."

"How did it suddenly become so many?"

"We only have over ten thousand soldiers here."

"Our numbers are far too few!"

"And our arrows are almost all used up,"

"How can we be a match for tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand infected?"

Upon hearing this news, the soldiers immediately felt that they were finished.

"You all stay here and keep watch."

"If people from the Empire arrive, open the city gate immediately!"

Tu Donghai instantly had no heart to guide these soldiers.

Nowadays, he himself needed someone to guide him.

After dropping these words, he and the soldiers rushed quickly toward the direction of the West Gate.

They had no way to retreat; they had to hold this place to the death.

Once this city was breached, the entire Great Qin would be in danger.

Tu Donghai arrived at the West Gate.

He saw soldiers standing densely packed on the city wall.

He saw them looking outside the city with serious expressions.

Their expressions were solemn, and their eyes were somewhat flustered.

But almost everyone was looking straight ahead, without the slightest sign of retreat.

"General Tu, you have finally come."

"What should we do now?"

"We might... might not be able to block this attack."

A deputy general walked over, his voice trembling slightly.

It was evident that their hearts were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.

"As far as I know, this group of infected does not target a specific direction to attack."

"Why are so many infected attacking in this direction this time?"

Tu Donghai could not figure this out; he did not know what had happened.

Having fought with the infected for quite some time, he understood their habits to some extent.

This time, the matter seemed not so simple.

And the number that appeared this time was terrifyingly large.
