Overlord the sky

At night, Winterfell. 【26nbsp;】

Surrounding the high courtyard wall of the palace, a lit torch was erected every few steps, reflecting the surroundings of the palace like daylight.

Above the courtyard wall, heavily armed soldiers from the Snow Wolf Battalion and the Huben Regiment walked around densely.The two-color armor, one black and one white, gleamed coldly under the light of the torch.

On the large expanse of ground outside the courtyard wall of the palace, corpses were strewn across the field.Among the corpses were soldiers from the two major legions, as well as monsters of various forms.

Among the corpses, some monsters had their mouths wide open, and their red tongues drooped out of the wide mouths, dragging them obliquely to the ground; some monsters were biting the stomachs of soldiers from the Snow Wolf Battalion with their sharp teeth.

Half of the stomach of the soldier from the Snow Wolf Battalion was bitten off, and the internal organs flowed all over the floor. The bright silver gun held in the soldier's hand passed through the throat of the monster, and the beast and the man died like this.

The vultures in the distance smelled the bloody smell permeating Winterfell, and flew from all directions, pecking at the corpse non-stop.

In the Zhenghe Hall of the Royal Palace of Winterfell, an urgent military meeting is being held.

Clan Chief Duan sat upright where the king used to sit, his expression was rarely solemn.

Beside him stood a few dry and thin old men with their hands folded in their sleeves.Their white eyebrows are so long that they almost cover their eyes.Next to the few old people was Duan Yu, who once turned Huben upside down. Standing next to Duan Yu were Duan Duan, Duke of Winterfell, and Duan Chengqian, King of Winterfell.Even Duan Chengkun, the Prince Regent who almost never showed his face, was impressively included at this time.

Opposite the Duan clan are some senior leaders of the Huben regiment.

Compared with the lineup of the Duan clan, the lineup of the Huben group is a little bit shabby.

Huniu is undoubtedly one of the representatives of the Huben Group at this time, and the princess also voluntarily joined the Huben Group's camp.The two elders who escaped from Humen also appeared in today's military meeting.It's just that the second elder's complexion didn't look very good, as if he hadn't recovered from a long illness.

Behind the two elders are the two elders of Humen.The two elders had been retreating all the time in order to recover their bodies severely injured by the elder Lei. If the situation had not reached a very critical moment, they would not have been so reluctant to attend while sick.The three Hu brothers are separated on both sides of the two elders.

"The two elders, as well as the generals of the Huben Regiment, are now in a very critical situation. In my opinion, according to this situation, we can only last for another five to ten days at most. However, there are no reinforcements outside and no troops inside. In the case of soldiers, is there any point for us to hold on?" The Duan Clan Chief asked.

"The Huben Regiment is our final foothold. Winterfell is gone, where else can we go?" the third elder of Humen spoke impatiently.

"Third Elder, you have seen it yourself. These magical beasts come from nowhere. They are extremely cruel. There are 150 million people in Winterfell! Do the math. Now, besides those who were eaten and those who died in battle, there are still people left. How many people have been recruited? If you add all the soldiers from the Snow Wolf Battalion and the Huben Regiment together, I’m afraid they won’t be able to make up 7 soldiers, right?” Patriarch Duan said with some sorrow.

He regretted his decision to form an alliance with Zheng Qian.These demonic beasts pouring out from the Dark Night Forest almost destroyed Winterfell overnight. Fortunately, the Snow Wolf Battalion and the Huben Regiment fought fiercely, so they were not caught off guard and destroyed by these demonic beasts.

The abilities of the monsters are not very high, but they are numerous. The Snow Wolf Battalion and the Huben Regiment joined hands to fight fiercely with the monsters.

But since the back-up from the monsters came, Winterfell was attacked by them like a broken bamboo.With Clan Chief Duan's abilities, he didn't even know why Winterfell was breached so easily.The location of their garrisons and the strength of their troops seem to be well known to each other.The place where the monsters attacked must be the weakest defense of Winterfell.

The two armies failed to keep the people of Winterfell safe, and a city of 150 million people became a feast for the monsters pouring in like a tide.However, the spheres of influence of the two major legions were quickly compressed, and in the end they could only withdraw all their troops to the palace and defend them to the death.

The patriarch of the Duan clan had reason to suspect that there was an inner ghost in the team, but he couldn't catch anyone.Under such circumstances, he once proposed the idea of ​​abandoning Winterfell first, but he encountered fierce opposition from the Huben Regiment.

With the covenant in front, the patriarch of the Duan clan is not willing to openly break the covenant.So hard to hold on until now, the situation is already in jeopardy.There was also a strong voice to retreat within the Duan clan.

Today, after repelling the fifth wave of monster attacks, Patriarch Duan convened the high-level officials of the two major legions for this pre-army meeting to make a decision on whether to defend or withdraw.

The Huben Group opposed it as always.Winterfell is the last stronghold of the Huben Regiment. If Winterfell is destroyed, the Huben Regiment will become an exiled regiment. I am afraid that they will try to regain their vitality in the future. I don't know when it will happen.Moreover, the members of the Huben group have a strong love for the land. They would rather die on the land where they were born and raised than go into exile.

"Third Elder, we also understand your concerns, but in a few days, I'm afraid we won't find a vigorous person here. Don't you have the heart to watch your juniors become the rations of monsters? As elders, Doesn't it seem a little selfish to only care about your own thoughts?" The chief of the Duan clan has hidden needles in his words, which is his consistent speaking style.

"Patriarch Duan, don't put the lives of the juniors on us." Elder Feng came forward from behind the third elder.Originally, he hadn't recovered from his injuries, so he didn't want to speak, but the current situation forced him to express his position.This is a major event related to the survival of the Huben regiment. "The juniors of our Humen, there is no one who is not a hot-blooded man. To die on the battlefield is a kind of honor for a soldier. To escape from the battlefield, it is a great honor for us in Humen." A disgrace."

"Hehe, hehe. Elder Feng," the white-browed old man clasped his hands next to the patriarch of the Duan clan said, "You Humen don't care about the lives of the juniors in your clan, don't drag us Duan into the water together. What's more, you Humen, Aren't you planning to join forces with these monsters in the Dark Night Forest to deal with us?"

The old man's words pierced the wound in the heart of Feng Yuan like a needle, and his sick body trembled slightly.

"Great Elder, you have gone too far!" the third elder of Humen said to the white-browed old man.

"Presumptuous, what is your status, dare to talk to me like that? If the patriarch thought that the Huben Group had made a lot of contributions to the Duan family, and reached out to save you, your Huben Group would have become the ration of monsters by now. Now, I still have the ability to yell here." The white-browed old man glared, his long white eyebrows fluttering.

"You!" The third elder of Humen was also annoyed, and was about to curse, but was stopped by Elder Feng Yuan.

"Old Yuan, what you said is right. It's my Humen's fault, and we won't shirk it. It's just that we have blind eyes, and chose the wrong patriarch..." Elder Feng's body trembled even more, his face was pale, without a trace of blood.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as choosing the wrong patriarch. You, the four elders of Fengyun Leidian, were the pillars of Humen in the past, but now...hehe, do you want me to explain it clearly?" The elders of the Duan family didn't have the slightest intention of giving in.

"Great elder, don't bully others too much!" The third elder couldn't bear it anymore.

"Bullying? If you want to bully you, just throw you out." The grand elder of the Duan clan squinted at the third elder of Humen.

Indeed, if Duan's hands were withdrawn at this time, the Huben group would definitely be helpless.Although the words of the great elder of the Duan Clan are harsh, they are the actual situation.

"Patriarch Duan, what do you say?" Elder Yun Yuan interrupted.

This is not the time to quarrel. Elder Feng Yuan has been greatly irritated. His injury has not healed, so he cannot be irritated anymore.

"In my opinion, you should stop insisting. It's better to withdraw." The Duan Clan Chief said.

"What shall we do after we withdraw?" Elder Yun continued to ask.

The patriarch of the Duan clan didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at the several old men beside him.

Grand Elder Duan immediately replied, "What should I do? What can you do with a remnant soldier like you now? There are only two paths in front of you. One is to die with the monsters. If you want to die, I will not block it." ; The second is to belong to our Duan family, dismantle the military system and reorganize it."

After the Great Elder finished speaking, the Patriarch Duan saw that the people in the Huben Group were furious and about to erupt, so he stood up and waved his hand, telling the members of the Huben Group to calm down first.

"What the Great Elder means is that I, the Duan Clan, will provide you with protection, so that you will not be cut off if you come here!"

Patriarch Duan's words were very powerful, and his words immediately calmed down the anger of everyone in the Huben group, and they had to think about how to choose the path they were going to take.

"Boring!" Hu Niu crossed her arms and watched quietly all the time. Now that others were quiet, she burst out suddenly.

The princess tugged on Hu Niu's cuff, but Hu Niu pretended not to know.

Patriarch Duan's face was a bit embarrassed, "I don't know what the Tiger King thinks?"

Hu Niu gave Patriarch Duan a blank look, "You human beings are messed up, I don't see anything. I only know that you swore and signed the contract with Zheng Qianmeng. Now you want to deny it so soon? Then you have to ask me if this tiger claw agrees." Hu Niu rubbed her hands together.

This sentence hit the key point of Patriarch Duan. On the one hand, Patriarch Duan wanted to maintain his face, but on the other hand he didn't want to get a reputation of treachery, because he wanted to solve the problem through the pre-military meeting.

The little progress made by Huniu's intervention was immediately broken by her.

"An evil animal, dare to speak out?" A red-faced old man next to the Duan family elder stared at Hu Niu with his eyes wide open.

Hu Niu pulled her face down, "Old bastard, do you want to try?"

"Both of you, stop. Don't kill each other!" Patriarch Duan and Elder Feng shouted at the same time.

The face of the red-faced old man suddenly seemed to be on fire. Fortunately, the chief of the Duan clan shouted quickly, otherwise the two would have to fight immediately.

"Now, you Huben Group make your own decision, do you want to go with us, or stay and fight to the death? I won't stop you from becoming dead heroes!" Grand Elder Duan issued an ultimatum.
