Chapter 387: Chapter 86: Fragile as a Stack of Eggs [Three in One]_2 Chapter 387: Chapter 86: Fragile as a Stack of Eggs [Three in One]_2 “When the snakes begin to siege, that’s when to start the fire, this will be the first line of defense for Yuezhou City, it cannot be wasted arbitrarily!”

“If we can’t burn some of them… then all this preparation will be in vain, it will be fruitless.”

“Clear water, transport more water to the city wall.”

Wu Tiejun remained calm and collected, commanding smoothly, commanding all who heard his orders, each one involuntarily calming their panic.

The calm and composed demeanor of a great general, the unwavering steadiness in the face of catastrophe gave everyone confidence.

Making everyone feel like, as long as Commander Wu was present, Yuezhou would be safe.

He was like the mighty sea god pillar, standing firm on top of Yuezhou City wall, invincible and unbreakable.

Meanwhile, He Bibiqu and the Purple Emperor had also stopped their verbal exchange.

Just as He Bibiqu said, “What’s the point of our arguments and anger now? Even if you, Your Majesty Purple Emperor, defeat me in a debate, will it change the will of the thirty million people of Yuezhou City?”

This statement completely defeated the Purple Emperor.

Yes, even if he proved his innocence what good would it do now? Given the current circumstances, there’s no way for him to leave, right?

What does it mean to be burdened by one’s reputation?

This is it!

“Today… you’ve trapped me!”

The Purple Emperor sighed with his head tilted back, rage burning in his eyes, seemingly igniting Yuezhou City into a sea of fire.

In the sky, the Golden Emperor laughed heartily, “Purple Emperor, I’d like to see where you can run? In this place, at this moment, you’ll either perish with Yuezhou City, or die first and become the legend of the heroic human race!”

The Purple Emperor gritted his teeth, “That depends on whether you’re capable enough!”

He then asked He Bibiqu, “When will the reinforcement from Great Qin arrive?”

He Bibiqu rubbed his throat which was bruised from the Purple Emperor’s grip and coughed, “I don’t know, this crisis happened so suddenly. But the message for reinforcements has been sent.”

The Purple Emperor said impatiently, “This city can’t possibly be held for long. Aren’t you, as the city’s governor, planning to retreat and preserve the remaining strength?”

He Bibiqu coldly said, “We can order a retreat anytime, but definitely not now!”

“Why?”

“If no one leaves, there’s still unity, and a chance for everyone to band together and fight. Once people start running, hearts will begin to scatter and not only will Yuezhou City fall, but those who fled will not be spared, either. Your Majesty Purple Emperor, I thought you knew this, or are you looking to sow confusion and escape alone?!”

“The only plan for now is to fight til the last soldier, we will not retreat! ”

The Purple Emperor understood this, but… damn it, he just wanted to escape unharmed!

Under such circumstances, with such a disparity in strength, how could he fight?

He’d never fought this desperately, not even for Great Yan, yet now he was expected to do so for Great Qin, this was… absolutely absurd.

Suddenly, a long howl echoed from the mid-air, the huge body of the Golden Emperor moved, and the dark clouds grew denser, covering the sun and earth.

“Hiss hiss hiss…”

Faint smell of blood came from the distance, countless snake clans began their march towards Yuezhou City. Their increasing numbers seemed unstoppable.

This unstoppable advancement came from all around, forming a circle, setting up a deadlock!

On each side, there were several members of the snake clan, who had achieved human shape, dressed in black clothes, supervising the battle.

Right in front were numerous giant pythons, as big as small houses.

They moved rapidly towards Yuezhou City, rolling over like a moving Mount Snake, attacking the Yuezhou gate.

They stopped when they were about three arrows away from the city wall.

But the snake swarm behind them kept surging forward, sweeping over like a furious tide.

All the city guards on the wall looked at this scene of horror, their faces pale and devoid of color.

Suddenly, a giant python lifted its body, standing several feet tall, taller than the highest point of the city wall. Its eyes gleamed with cold light, like two huge lanterns overlooking Yuezhou City!

Its mouth opened to reveal its fangs, each around three to four meters long. Its tongue flicked in and out, approximately seventeen to eighteen meters long, the three arrows’ distance seemed trivial…

Even Wu Tiejun’s face turned pale at the sight of such a monster, barely able to maintain his composure.

This was everyone’s first-time seeing such a spectacle.

Who wouldn’t be scared?

The scale of this monster tide far exceeded Yuezhou City’s limit, there was no comparison.

As the snakes began to gather more and more, they piled up, gradually exceeding the height of the city wall. Countless giant snakes flicked their tongues, coldly and cruelly looking at Yuezhou.

Faint dust began to rise behind Yuezhou, but it was the soldiers from Hundred War Pass coming to reinforce!

Everyone knew that Yuezhou was a death trap, yet the soldiers from Hundred War Pass bravely charged in.

Seeing this, Ma Qiange was furious: “Who asked you to come?!”

The leader of the Hundred War Pass was a stout man with a beard, he said calmly: “It’s better to come than not come. Why are you shouting? To show off how loud your voice is?”

“You shouldn’t have come!

“If I didn’t come, you would have cursed me for being a coward when you died. Now that I’ve hurriedly come, I’m still being scolded! Can you say something reasonable?!”
