Peerless Taoist

Before the battle even began, the people of Spirit State City already felt a terrifying pressure.    

With the current defending troops of the Spirit State, it was still unknown whether they would be able to survive the first round of attack.    

Qin Yu looked at the rebel army swarming over from afar and felt his scalp go numb. He looked at Lu Yu and asked, "Sir, what should we do?"    

Beside Qin Yu, those soldiers also looked at Lu Yu in unison.    

At this moment, they had no way out.    

Behind them was Spirit State City. No matter where they hid, they would be found by the evil cultivators and brutally killed.    

It would be better to block it before they die.    

Even the many mortals and Xiantian martial artists present revealed killing intent in their eyes, ready to fight to the death.    

Everyone's eyes gathered on Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu seemed to be alone, but behind him was the fate of the entire city.    

Glancing at the people around him, Lu Yu said, "Now, listen to my command. All troops, retreat to the prefecture!"    

What!?    

Everyone was shocked.    

This was the first time Lu Yu had given the order to retreat to the army.    

In the past, no matter what kind of situation they encountered, the soldiers would bite the bullet and fight back.    

But now, Lu Yu actually made them retreat on their own.    

Qin Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, if the city wall falls, the defense inside the Spirit Province City will not be able to withstand a single blow. No matter what, we have to defend the city wall first."    

" Qin Yu, listen up. "    

Lu Yu glanced at Qin Yu and said without hesitation.    

Although Qin Yu had doubts in his heart, he knew that Lu Yu had the authority to command the army. He knew that he would agree to it.    

All the soldiers began to retreat from the city wall in an orderly manner.    

When they left the city wall, although many people felt relaxed, at the same time, they also felt fear towards the future.    

A very realistic problem was right in front of their eyes.    

If the city walls really fell, then what would they do?    

They were guarding the Spirit Province Court. Could it be that they could really resist the attacks of the evil cultivators?    

Everyone left, and only Qin Yu remained here.    

"Lord Prefecture Overseer, if you plan to stay here alone to cover the retreat, then I won't agree. I, Qin Yu, am the general of Spirit State City's garrison. If it's to cover the retreat, then I should be the one to do it. " Qin Yu raised his long blade.    

Lu Yu said faintly, "Aren't you afraid of death?"    

"Afraid of death? Who wouldn't be afraid of death? If I'm really not afraid of death, when the evil cultivators came over, I would have rushed down with my saber and fought them to the death."    

Qin Yu let out a long sigh:" I am also from the Spirit Province, my parents, my children... They are all in the Spirit Province City. Sometimes, I envy Zhang Mingfeng. He can die. But I can't die like that. Sometimes, the more responsibility you have, the more you wish to die. "    

After saying that, Qin Yu smiled bitterly and said," In fact, many years ago, there were already signs of rebellion in the Spirit Province. However, this is a remote place, and the Imperial Court has always been unconcerned with this place. They won't bother about it at all. This time, it caused such a huge disaster, and it was also the result of the government raising a tiger to bring disaster upon itself. They can't care about others."    

"No matter what, I, the General of the Guardian, will die sooner or later. Rather than being chased and killed by the evil cultivators, it would be better to fight them face to face. If I kill a few more evil cultivators before I die, there'll be companions on the road to Huang Quan"
