Chapter 004: Escape

Currently in Las City, the highest-ranking troop is only this elite monk known as the Sage Ram. What is most concerning is that Las City has not even constructed a Griffin Nest to produce Griffins.

After all, that farmer's tag is not just a name without substance, which enables Cheng Kong's running speed to far exceed that of the past

One of the sword-wielding generals, whose personality was the most excitable, burst into laughter: "It seems that Hegra City is about to be defeated again. Sage Ram, shall I lead the swordsman squad to pursue the routed troops later?"

Before Cheng Kong could react, he felt a rough hand pulling him up from the ground

Less than half an hour had passed, and the team of archers from Heigela City had dwindled to less than one third of their original number

To be honest, at this moment, Cheng Kong has completely lost any notion of treating this world as a game. Whether it is the fatigue brought on by desperate running, the hunger, or even the blisters formed on his feet, all of these evoke a sense of fear in him

This time, we must seize the several mines controlled by Heigela City; otherwise, the next battle will mark the end of Las City

This m. hetushucomcom is entirely a massacre without any defenses

Will dying here truly mean death

The only way to survive is to escape far away, to the wilderness beyond the castle, to wander in the mountains and forests. Although there may be some dangers, at least this is a path to survival, which is much better than dying right now.

Lack of sufficient airborne forces, Las City can only silently endure the assaults from other cities

I curse you, immortal board!

Hmm? The city has really fallen! The fat man opened his eyes in confusion, and then he saw a large crack appear in the distant city wall, followed by the loud crash of the city gate hitting the ground.

Although there is only one city gate in Las City, there are quite a few escape routes, at least that bearded farmer knows one.

After drilling out the escape route, Cheng Kong did not dare to linger at all and desperately followed the farmers as they rushed into the wilderness

The sounds of slaughter have already reached from behind, the dull thuds of blades piercing flesh and the cries of agony prompting Cheng Kong to exhibit agility that belies his physique. By the time they traversed the several-mile-long street to the other side of the city wall, it was the fat man pulling the bearded man along, rather than the bearded man pulling the fat man.

Brother! Wake up! Wake up! The Heglar army is about to invade!

As the laughter of the generals in Las City filled the air, a brownish-yellow cloud flew in from the distant sky

Run away! At that moment, the bearded farmer grabbed me and ran down the street.

However, it was not long before the farmers had to hide in the haystacks in the wilderness

This question lingered in Cheng Kong's mind until he was utterly exhausted, lying in a small grove alongside the farmers.

Even with the addition of those few generals to the battle, it could not completely reverse the impending defeat

Las City can no longer withstand the baptism of war; for half a year, the continuous conflict has nearly drained the potential of this small fortress.

The sudden appearance of the griffins instantly shattered the morale of the archers on the city walls, who had not seen such aerial monsters for over six months and were somewhat unaccustomed to this first encounter

Cheng Kong, who was sleeping soundly, had his hips raised high like a flagpole, immersed in a fragrant and enchanting dream

In the city of Las, the archers began to launch arrows at the gunmen guarding the catapults. Even though the gunmen were clad in armor made of cast iron, they quickly suffered casualties under the concentrated fire of the archers

Las City has been completely destroyed, with raging flames spreading throughout the city. Both soldiers and ordinary residents have become victims under the blades.

This is an unavoidable situation. According to the bearded man, the war here is very brutal; any city that is captured will see the remaining soldiers and residents eliminated.

This big-bearded farmer is quite strong, nearly pulling the fat man down to the ground.

And those silent, waiting swordsmen began to move slowly.

Upon hearing the laughter of the swordsman general, the elderly man dressed in a ochre monk's robe also slightly relaxed his furrowed brow and nodded, tacitly agreeing to the swordsman general's challenge request

In a hot spring, several beautiful women candidly conversed with him, discussing their ideals in life

Among the generals, the archer leader with the keenest eyesight inadvertently discovered the suddenly appearing cloud, and immediately exclaimed in surprise

When the first griffin seized an archer and dropped him from a great height, even the most resolute of the spearmen began to waver

Not good! It is a group of griffins!

After a long wait, night finally fell, and those griffins could not possibly spot their group through the darkness. Cheng Kong and the others crawled out from the haystack, shook off the chaff clinging to their clothes, and continued to move in the direction away from Las City

Just as he decided to save these suffering and delicate beauties, dedicating himself to world peace, a loud shout rang in his ears, and two hands pulled him away from the reluctant embrace of the beauties

Seeing victory beginning to tilt in their favor, the several generals standing on the main arrow tower could not help but breathe a sigh of relief

The piercing shrieks emitted by several griffins as they flew overhead terrified the farmers, causing them to tremble all over

Even the ordinary knight, who was said to have been promoted from a farmer by that farmer fellow, perished in the last battle against Murphy City

This inevitably instills fear in them, as the vast disparity in individual strength creates an illusion of impending death

The overweight must remember one thing: the weapon in hand is life; losing the weapon means losing life

Before the generals could make a decision to respond, the yellow-brown clouds dispersed, and a creature resembling a griffin, about the size of a horse, flapped its enormous wings and dove down from the sky, charging towards the city walls with a tremendous roar

If anyone were to say that this is a game, Cheng Kong would likely jump up immediately and slap the other person across the face

Watching the griffon soaring through the sky, diving back and forth to capture the spearmen and archers, the stout man felt his entire body stiffen for the first time, his legs trembling

Cheng Kong, whose major life event had been ruined, was instantly enraged, and before even opening his eyes, he let out a curse.

Game? Why don't you give it a try? Damn it, I have lived this long and have never run such a long distance in one go.

What are you doing? Escaping is the priority

The only distinguishing difference is that the overweight Cheng Kong, even while fleeing, tightly clutches the manure fork in his hand, whereas the bearded man's manure fork has long since disappeared.

Within a few minutes, the archers completely collapsed, scrambling to escape down the city walls, while the pikemen could only resist desperately. The significant disparity in both strength and numbers meant that even when the pikemen thrust their long spears at the griffins, they could inflict little damage. This ultimately determined the fate of the pikemen.
