Chapter 2400
The Wood Kin are black-gray all over, and they don't walk stiffly. The dry body is caused by the Dead Wood characteristics. They look dry all over, but in reality, they have very strong life force in their bodies.
These are no longer humans, but living things that appeared after being eroded by the Ancient God's energy and adapting.
Su Xiao is somewhat unable to figure out the point of being able to adapt to the Ancient God's energy. In general, being eroded by the Ancient God's energy turns one into a tentacle monster. These Wood Kin develop toward the wood and life systems, which makes people very confused.
There are at least more than 100,000 Wood Kin walking from afar. They form a circle and drive the humans in the center forward. The number of humans is at least ten times that of the Wood Kin. Once they fight, the Wood Kin can kill all these humans very quickly.
Crying and shouting are endless. Those women, children, and the elderly surrounded by the Wood Kin all think they are dead.
A large group of soldiers rushed out of Ango City. The soldiers were all holding cold weapons and wearing armor. These weapons were very new. Whether they are suitable for dealing with Wood Kin is not yet clear.
About half a kilometer away from Ango City, those Wood Kin stopped their steps and opened a passage.
"You, are, free."
A Wood Kin with light green pupils spoke. This is a characteristic only possessed after devouring their own kind multiple times. He actually spoke human language. It has only been a few days, and the Wood Kin have reached this degree, and they are not far from possessing sanity.
The Wood Kin did not retain the memories they had when they were humans, or rather, they all had consciousness born not long ago, and based on their current bodies, they are growing rapidly.
After the large group of women, children, and the elderly saw Ango City 200-300 meters away, they immediately started running, forming a large tide of people.
No soldiers rushed over to fight the Wood Kin. Once they start fighting at this time, not many women, children, and the elderly will survive.
The Wood Kin retreated into the distance. It is not yet time. Their savior has not yet given the order.
Gelu did not control the Wood Kin, but ruled this clan. This clan, which had perished a thousand years ago, was 'awakened' by Gelu and became his power. In the eyes of the Wood Kin, Gelu is the savior, the redeemer, and even the creator.
The soldiers rushed out and protected the elderly, women, and children. Conservatively estimated, the number of these elderly, women, and children is more than 1,200,000. With so many people, Ango City simply cannot carry them. The underground city, barely, can accommodate them, but there will also be many people who are homeless.
Gelu's move is ruthless enough. The elderly, women, and children cannot go to the battlefield and belong to absolutely non-combat personnel. Among them, the children are the hope of the future.
Hope is there, but what do these people eat? Where do they live? These are all big problems, and it is unknown whether Gelu will send a second batch.
Su Xiao is not worried about these problems. He is only responsible for defending the city. The problem of personnel placement is the responsibility of Councilor Rose and Councilor Frost Snake.
This is the time to test Councilor Rose and Councilor Frost Snake. Whether these two are pig teammates or collaborators who can cooperate temporarily, one must observe from this matter.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao jumped down from the building and went straight to the Council Hall.
Just walking into the crowd, Su Xiao heard a heroic wail. A soldier wearing armor was hugging a mother and daughter and wailing. The loved ones he thought he had lost appeared in front of him again. Even if that was a soldier nearly two meters tall and as strong as a bear, he still couldn't hold on. He was hugging his wife and daughter and wailing, and even snot was crying out.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived at the Council Hall. This time, the guards in front of the door did not block him, but nodded symbolically to indicate letting him pass.
Just arriving in front of the council chamber door on the third floor, Su Xiao heard arguing coming from inside.
"Fart, once the population is reduced, how can morale be guaranteed? What are you two thinking in your heads? This is not a personal emotional problem, you have to consider the soldiers' emotions. Without them, we are not even a fart!"
With a bang, a table-slapping sound came from the council chamber. It was Councilor Rose.
Su Xiao pushed the door and entered the council chamber. The three people in the room stopped talking. Seeing that it was only Su Xiao, the three of them didn't say anything. The leader of the enemy, Elvis Gelu, specifically asked to negotiate with Su Xiao. These two councilors and one king, as long as they are not stupid, can think of some problems.
Gelu is not helping Su Xiao build momentum, but knows that once they fight, Su Xiao having the right to speak is a matter of time.
"Bai Ye, Councilor Frost Snake just proposed to quickly reduce the population through controlling residences. The underground city is colder than Ango City. If residences are not provided, those elderly won't last long. On this matter, you represent the Holy Realm councilor, give a proposal."
Councilor Rose is preparing to drag Su Xiao into the water. Now it is 2 to 1. Councilor Frost Snake and the Leiman King both support reducing the population.
"This is your business. Before the Wood Kin attack, I will not interfere in any decision."
Su Xiao sat back in the seat and prepared to listen. Hearing him mention the Wood Kin, the other three all had changes in their gazes to some extent.
"Cannot reduce the population, there will definitely be problems. Chilling the hearts of the soldiers, you, and you, will all die. Don't glare at me, I'm talking about you, Leiman King. It's not me carrying it, will your soldiers really listen to your control? You are the first person to abandon their loved ones."
These words of Councilor Rose made the Leiman King almost roll his eyes. The dignified Councilor Rose actually started to be unreasonable.
"Without reducing the population, food supply will last at most one month."
"Then fight for one month. If there is no food, fight out. Initially eat wild plants, ensure farming. It is spring now, and soon we can farm."
Councilor Rose's attitude was very firm. The population cannot be reduced. Once the populace starts to despair, that is really the end.
Disagreements appeared. This is also the scene Gelu wants to see. The elderly, women, and children he sent, no matter how they are dealt with, will have various problems.
The final decision is to temporarily not reduce the population. If there is no progress after half a month, then start reducing the population.
Councilor Rose belongs to the very strong type, doing things without any means. Once it reaches the critical moment, she will be more ruthless than Councilor Frost Snake, but not ruthless to her own people.
With a bang, the door of the council chamber was knocked open. An officer wearing armor rushed into the room.
"Four adults, those monsters have attacked, right in the west of the city, the number is more than 200,000!"
After the officer finished speaking, he stood straight beside the door.
"Map."
Just as the Leiman King's voice fell, the officer trotted to get the map and placed it on the council table. The Leiman King, Councilor Frost Snake, and Councilor Rose all looked at the map on the table, preparing to arrange strategy.
"Insert a defense line here and here. The garrison in the west of the city is more than 150,000. Holding the first batch of enemies is no problem. Subsequent reinforcements will outflank from this direction, striving to cut off the enemy reinforcements that may appear..."
Before the Leiman King finished speaking, he discovered that Su Xiao had already stood up and was walking out.
"Kukulin Bai Ye, this is wartime. Even if you are an acting councilor, you should pretend to do something."
The Leiman King showed displeasure. The three of them had already started deploying troops, but Su Xiao was leaving.
"I am not good at directing war on the map."
"Then where are you going?"
Councilor Rose seemed to think of something, and a different kind of luster appeared in her eyes.
"The front line."
Su Xiao walked out of the council chamber. Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha, who were waiting for him outside the door, followed. Their auras clearly started to be different. Now, it is the stage Su Xiao is most skilled at.
Just as Su Xiao arrived at the front door of the Council Hall, all the guards outside the door took half a step back, as if facing a great enemy. When the battle was about to begin, Su Xiao's aura was extremely ferocious, and the blood energy would gradually spread.
