Chapter 1604

Hearing this sound.

Everyone's expression shook.

They knew that this meant the infected were coming.

These hoofbeats, without surprise, were those people from the Jizi Kingdom.

It was precisely these people who led the infected monsters to appear here.

Instead, they were the ones caught in the crossfire.

If the people from the Jizi Kingdom had not run here.

They would not have been targeted by so many infected.

A difficult battle was definitely coming later.

If things went poorly, they might not even be able to hold the city.

And the culprits were these people from the Jizi Kingdom.

This also made the Great Qin soldiers gnash their teeth.

Before even seeing their shadows, the soldiers could not help but develop a murderous intent.

"Should we shoot and kill them?"

"They are just a group of scourges!"

"If they hadn't come here, we should have been able to hold out for a long time."

"Now that so many infected have been attracted by them."

"We might not be able to hold out for long before failing."

"They should be shot and killed; keeping them is useless."

"We might all die, so don't have pity on them."

"This group of people are just troublemakers!"

Almost all the soldiers wanted to shoot and kill those people from the Jizi Kingdom.

Only Tu Donghai frowned deeply.

He also hated those people from the Jizi Kingdom.

Because of their arrival, so many infected monsters were drawn here.

Otherwise, they would still be very safe now.

All of this was thanks to them.

But he could not act on impulse like the soldiers.

As the supreme commander of these soldiers, he had many things to consider.

He could not just cut everything off with one swift stroke.

As the supreme commander, he had many things to consider.

"Everyone, calm down."

"Do not kill them all."

"At least leave some survivors."

"In case people from the Empire arrive, we will have an explanation."

"Otherwise, we won't know anything, not even what happened."

Tu Donghai's voice rang in the ears of the soldiers.

This made the indignant soldiers calm down slightly.

What General Tu said made sense, but they had a pent-up anger in their hearts.

This was an unprovoked disaster, getting hit for no reason.

Without venting, it was hard to calm the hatred in their hearts.

But military orders could not be disobeyed.

Even if they were angry, they had to tolerate it for the time being.

Every soldier's face showed a look of unwillingness.

Seeing this, Tu Donghai could not help but smile.

"Although we cannot kill them, we can torture them a bit to vent the hatred in your hearts."

"As long as they don't die, it will be enough to have an explanation for the Empire."

These words from Tu Donghai ignited the soldiers' emotions once again.

Cannot kill, but can torture them a bit.

These words hit the mark for the soldiers; this was indeed a good idea.

This was something they could vent well.

The soldiers' resentment also lessened a lot.

"General Tu, we will listen to you."

"You don't need to explain so much to us."

"Military orders are like mountains; we will execute the orders well!"

Some soldiers spoke up like this; they were no longer as hateful as before.

Instead, they seemed to have figured it out, their faces full of smiles.

This left Tu Donghai looking stunned.

Nor did he wait for him to say anything more.

The hoofbeats came from far to near.

Very quickly—

Beside the bonfire not far outside the city, the figures of horses appeared.

Immediately after, over a dozen people from the Jizi Kingdom dressed in white appeared in their line of sight.

As soon as these people appeared, they started screaming at the people on the city wall.

Speaking a language that could not be understood.

The soldiers on the city wall were stunned.

They only then discovered that the two sides did not share a language.

Communication between the two was impossible.

This left the soldiers dumbfounded.

"General Tu, what should we do?"

"What kind of bird language are they speaking? We don't understand it!"

Some soldiers asked foolishly.

"First throw ropes down to pull them up."

"It doesn't matter if we don't understand; the Empire naturally has people who can understand."

Tu Donghai also did not understand what those people from the Jizi Kingdom were saying.

But this was not hard to guess; it was nothing more than begging them to save people or something similar.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire had given people a kind of water to drink.

People who drank this water could understand what the people of the Peacock Dynasty were saying.

This matter was no longer a secret; many people knew about it.

Therefore, Tu Donghai was not afraid that the Empire would have no one who could understand those words.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers found several ropes and threw them down the city wall.

The people from the Jizi Kingdom below saw the ropes being thrown down.

They quickly grabbed the ropes and climbed up.

Fearing that if they climbed too slowly, they would be left behind forever.

It was as if there were devils chasing them from behind.

"We don't share a language with the other side."

"After the people are pulled up, immediately control them."

"If they want to stay, they must listen to us."

"Otherwise, don't let them come up."

"With the infected army attacking, we might not be able to survive either."
