“No retreat! No surrender! No regrets! I swear to live or die in the Desert City!” The human beings and
demons in the whole city issued a roar in chorus. This was their last oath in life.
The undead cooperating with the human beings and demons to defend the city watched in astonishment
at this group of allies who had a boiling passion and seemed to be unafraid of death.
The undead used to be allies of the devils. They had a deep understanding of the ferocity of the devil
army. Faced with such a huge devil army, this small city was nothing at all and would vanish in an instant.
“Didn’t the lord tell us to consume as much as we can, but not to zealously continue ghting?” The undead
general looked at the city lord of the Desert City. Shen Yanxiao’s order was that each city should consume
the forces of the devils as much as possible, but they must not ght with their lives. All the passages of the
underground city had already been opened, so that the people in the city could retreat safely.
But…
Why do they want to sacrice their lives?
The city lord of the Desert City looked at the undead general and said with a smile, “How can we not know
that the lord cherishes our lives? But look at how huge the devil army is. As the rst line of defense in the
Barren Land, it is our duty to display the momentum of our Barren Land. We must not let the devils
underestimate us. We are not afraid to give up our city.”
The general of the undead was shocked by these remarks. He had come to the Radiance Continent with
the Ancestor of the Undead. Before receiving the task, he did not even know that there was a small city
named “Desert City” in the Barren Land.
But it was such a small town in the Barren Land that had shocked all the undead.
“Don’t worry, if we can’t resist the attack of the devils, your undead troops can immediately retreat from
the surface. We will nd ways to hold back the enemies’ oense and give you time to retreat. As long as
you enter the underground city, we will blow up the passage.” The city lord smiled as he spoke. In order to
ensure that the passage would not be used by the devils, in order to ensure the safety of the other cities,
they were willing to break their last chance to survive.
With their blood, they would tell the devils that they, the human beings, would never be cowards!
The undead general was silent. He observed the warm-blooded atmosphere that covered this small city.
There were no more than ten thousand troops in this small city. Compared with the tens of thousands of
troops in the current devil army, these were simply ants. If they stayed here, they could only die.
However, even knowing that only death awaited them, no one in this city inched. Their eyes were rm,
and they were all prepared to die.
“If you’re going to stay, let’s stay together. Let’s have the passage blown up now. Let us ght together with
you. We will not leave until you retreat as well.” The undead general made the biggest decision of his life.
Even the human beings once despised by the major races had such resolve. How could they, the undead,
retreat on the corpses of their allies?
“Very well! From today on, we are brothers!” The city lord burst out laughing. Unexpectedly, at the end of
his life, he could still make friends with such a group of undead brothers.
“Let the devils taste our strength together.” The undead generals also laughed heartily.
Enjoy your life, don’t fear death!
Attack!
With a loud bang, the only avenue of escape for the people of the Desert City was blown up by black
powder. The entire underground city collapsed. Their last way out was completely sealed o.
From this moment on, the entire Desert City would become a fortress completely isolated from the
outside world!
This was the rst line of defense in the Barren Land!
It was a hymn interwoven with blood and sweat!
