Chapter 143: Qingfeng City Has Fallen (2/2)
The Qingfeng City, the city where he was stationed, he more or less has some feelings for this city.
Feeling? Shiqi had a heavy feeling? That’s right!
The truth is so unbelievable ……The Blood Hand Slaughterer “Chen Pengfei” was a person with heavy feelings!
Even he was far more affectionate than ordinary people. The stubborn people were like this, and everything was very persistent!
In the afternoon, the Purple Thorn Army began to return one after another to report the situation. Qingfeng City was completely finished.
From more than 60,000 people in Qingfeng City, the survivors did not exceed three thousand people. The city guards were almost completely wiped out, with no more than fifty people still alive.
The entire city was burned, and the fire was still spreading.
Meng Fei lowered his head and said, “Commander, Qingfeng City is too miserable, there are not many left to survive!”
He did not dare to raise his head. His eyes were red; as a 1000-man commander, he was afraid of being laughed at. He had just laughed at a few recruits who had cried directly at the sight.
Meng Fei stared at Shiqi, his head didn’t even turn, and the Purple Thorn troops standing in front of Shiqi almost didn’t dare to look at the corpses in front of Shiqi.
He really could not understand why the commander-in-chief meeting picked such a place! Those corpses would make people go crazy after looking at them for a long time.
Even they, the veterans who had fought and killed on the battlefield, couldn’t stand it.
“Hmm!”
“My lord, they all want to see you!” Meng Fei said in a small voice.
“See me? Who?”
“The surviving city guards, and some of the people who survived ……”
“Then let the meet me!” Shiqi did not object.
He slowly propped himself up and leaned on the back of the chair in a very comfortable position.
More than twenty people led by the Purple Thorn Army came up, and they took a look at those densely packed corpses in the middle of the square, their eyes filled with crazy biting hatred.
“Lord Commander!”
More than twenty people knelt in front of Shiqi in unison.
In this world, almost no one would kneel with both legs. Even the family slaves trained by the dead family soldiers would merely kneel on one knee. In the military clan, there was even no kneeling ceremony.
Generally, people would only kneel to parents, kneel to dead ancestors, and kneel on the torture platform.
“What do you want?”
“I beg the lord to avenge the 60,000 dead people of Qingfeng City!” The city guard who was kneeling at the front said.
The city guards were unkempt, about forty say, with strength around the early stage of the True Origin realm, and his chest was wrapped in a red white cloth.
“I’m just a small commander, what makes you guys think I can avenge you?”
“Just by the fact that you, Lord Commander, can defeat the Tenth Army of the Black Iron Army!”
Shiqi asked, “Who told you that?”
Meng Fei secretly closed his eyes. The City Guards did not reply but just hit their heads on the ground fiercely and never looked up again.
“Commander Chen, please take revenge for us!” An old man raised his head. His entire face stained with black ash was wet with tears, looking comical and ridiculous.
But even so, Shiqi still recognized the old man, and the old man often set up a stall near the entrance to the barracks of the Purple Thorn Army to sell bowls of mutton, good craftsmanship, affordable prices, many Purple Thorn Army patronized him.
Shiqi also went to eat a few times, and he heard that his son was a city guard, just married a daughter-in-law last year.
“Your son was also killed in battle?”
“Lord Commander, all dead, they are all dead, I can not find their bodies.” The old man lying on the ground towards Shiqi crawled over, crawled to the feet of Shiqi, just stretched out his hand, saw his black hand, he stopped powerlessly wolf cried, “I just found my daughter-in-law, she died so tragically, her heart was plucked out, the three-month-old child in the belly is also missing …… “
