But that momentum was piercing and unstoppable.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"I am proud of you!"

"You are the best soldiers I have ever led!"

Tu Donghai laughed toward the sky.

Then his gaze coldly swept over the infected monsters below the city.

"Half of you assemble at the city gate!"

"The moment they break through the gate, that will be the moment we fight to the death!"

Tu Donghai drew the sword he carried, his voice extremely cold.

He needed half the people to fight inside the city and half to continue fighting on the wall.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Never retreat!"

"Never retreat!"

The soldiers on the city wall roared in grief and anger.

It seemed they knew what their fate would be next.

Everyone's face showed a look of determination.

Everyone was preparing for the final battle.

Facing the strength of the infected monsters, they knew they could not resist for too long.

But so what?

They still had to use their flesh and blood to resist.

Otherwise, the entire city would be destroyed in one go.

A tragic atmosphere spread through the army.

Knowing that the path ahead was riddled with crises, they did not retreat.

Perhaps this was the heroism of being Great Qin Ruishi.

Protecting the home and defending the country was their only mission.

This was their only responsibility for putting on this armor.

The situation was becoming increasingly urgent; the big fire was about to go out.

The city gate was knocked full of holes.

If it weren't for the many obstacles placed at the city gate earlier.

It was estimated that the city gate would have been breached by now.

These infected monsters were too terrifying.

Possessing infinite strength, and not afraid of pain or fatigue.

It seemed they did not need to rest and could always maintain their energy.

Soldiers started walking down the city wall and assembling at the city gate.

Everyone held weapons in their hands, with a stance of fighting to the death.

The youngest among them was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Saying they were not afraid of death would be impossible.

But they knew their responsibility; they would die without hesitation!

Everyone nervously looked at the city gate.

That thick city gate was like a lonely boat in the vast ocean, swaying in the wind.

There was a possibility of being knocked open at any time.

It was not that they did not want to add more obstacles.

It was really that there was not much effect anymore.

It was difficult to find so many obstacles to block the gate in a short time.

At this moment—

Tu Donghai stood at the very front of the crowd.

As the highest leader here.

He had to lead by example and stand at the very front to fight.

The deputy generals around him tried to persuade him, wanting General Tu to stand at the back.

After all, this position at the front was simply too dangerous.

The moment the gate was broken through, the person standing at the front was the most dangerous.

They would be the first to bear the brunt of the infected monsters' impact.

But Tu Donghai did not listen to the advice and still went his own way.

As a general, how could he be willing to stand behind his soldiers?

This was not his style of doing things.

Anyway, there would be a battle, there would be a death; just fight bravely and be done with it.

The role of the leader was very important; he had to lead well.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the deputy general could only accompany him by his side.

When the battle started later, he would have to protect the commander well.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers' hearts were extremely complicated.

Even General Tu was not afraid of death, so what were they afraid of?

Invisibly, it seemed that a force was injected into everyone.

A fearless spirit made them gradually calm down.

Waiting for the moment the city gate was breached.

"De de de..."

A faint 'de de' sound came.

At first, everyone thought it was an illusion and did not pay much attention.

After all, the sound of the city gate being knocked was also very loud.

Now, only this dull knocking sound was in their ears.

But as time passed, the 'de de de' sound became increasingly clear.

Many soldiers curiously turned their heads back.

If they heard correctly, this should be the sound of horses running.

And it was a large number of horses, otherwise there would not be this kind of sound.

And this was not the running sound of ordinary horses.

This seemed... seemed to be the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground.

"This sound... this sound is somewhat familiar!"

"It's a bit like the sound of horses running, but also a bit not."

"What is going on? Did something happen?"

"This is... this is horses wearing iron pieces running!"

"The warhorse three-piece set! The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground!"

Tu Donghai shouted, and then he laughed toward the sky.

"Ah ha ha ha...!"

"The Empire's reinforcements have arrived."

"Our lives are not meant to end!"

"Heaven bless Great Qin!"

"Heaven bless Liaodong!"

Tu Donghai was excited to the point that his eyes were moist.

The whole person became somewhat manic.

If one could live, who would be willing to die?

He was familiar with these 'de de de' sounds.
