Adjutant Zhao rode over quickly, dismounted and reached Du Shengming's side.

Du Shengming showed an embarrassed smile to Adjutant Zhao.

"Zhao Sheng, I have always looked down on you before, but I didn't expect that I would still rely on you in the end."

Adjutant Zhao looked at Du Shengming, who was clearly running out of time, and said nothing.

Du Shengming took a deep breath, endured the physical pain, and made the final explanation, "You can't throw away the South City Gate. Others can't rely on it. Here, I can only hand over the South City Gate to you, Xiang Lei!"

"

Du Xianglei, who was also covered in injuries, agreed, "Uncle, Xiang Lei is here."

Du Shengming grabbed Du Xianglei's wrist and squeezed it tightly, "After I leave, you and the Du family will submit to the city defense army and guard the south gate. Everything will be subject to Adjutant Zhao's arrangements!"

Du Xianglei's eyes were filled with tears, and then he nodded vigorously, "My child obeys!"

Du Xianglei's father died unexpectedly not long after he was born. He was raised by his uncle Du Shengming, and he was no different from his biological son. Du Xianglei was also very competitive, and his talent was among the best in the Du family. He had almost been appointed as the next leader of the Du family.

After Du Shengming finished explaining, he couldn't hold on anymore and lost the breath of life.

The tears Du Xianglei was holding back suddenly fell down from the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't help it no matter how hard he tried.

Adjutant Zhao reached out and patted Du Xianglei's shoulder, "Let your uncle's body be put away. We have more important things to do."

Du Xianglei wiped the tears from his face. The dirt and blood immediately covered half of his face. He stood up, straightened his back, and looked at the city gate. Then he ordered the guards around him to take away the uncle's body.

Seeing that he had controlled his emotions, Adjutant Zhao asked: "The Xiao family is not responsible for guarding the South City Gate. Why did it be replaced by your uncle?"

Du Xianglei did not hide anything. He clenched his hands into fists and cracked his knuckles, "The head of the Xiao family just escaped before the battle. He also took away the elites of the Xiao family guarding the south city gate. After discussing with the head of the Chen family, my uncle took the initiative to take over.

I assume the responsibility of guarding the South City Gate."

It's just that the Du family is not as good as the Xiao family after all. In addition, the city wall was damaged and was not repaired during the armistice. This made things worse, and it was only then that they needed to ask for help.

The family alliance is already in chaos. The two family heads, Lu and Li, have not returned from the city. The remaining three surnamed family heads, the Xiao family, have escaped. The Chen family is reluctantly guarding the east city gate. The only person Du Shengming can turn to for help is the former city defense army.

opponent.

He also saw from this beast tide the fate of the family alliance in the future, so he forced Du Xianglei to surrender to the city defense army exclusively and find a big tree for the Du family to continue growing.

While speaking, the thunder rhinoceros attacking outside the city gate slammed into the city wall again, breaking two big holes in the city wall and causing even more damage.

If it is not stopped, I am afraid that the entire city wall will be destroyed before long!

Once the city wall collapses, the orc people inside the city wall will be the first to suffer.

Adjutant Zhao's eyes sharpened, "Let's go, follow me to deal with that thunder rhinoceros first."

Du Xianglei called the remaining elites of the Du family to follow Adjutant Zhao.

Adjutant Zhao took a glance and saw who was left in the Du family. Including Du Xianglei, there were less than five elites who could still fight, and all of them had young and impulsive faces.

No wonder Du Shengming asked him for help. It seemed that most of the Du family had been sacrificed in this beast wave, especially the older and middle-aged people.

Adjutant Zhao led the elite soldiers of the city defense army to first step forward to contain the huge thunder rhinoceros. Du Xianglei and the Du family were beside him to assist.

This second wave of beasts did not recede until dawn that day.

The walls of the entire gathering place were in ruins.

Even with the help of Adjutant Zhao at the east city gate, half of the entire city gate was destroyed by Lei Xi, and half of the city gate was already wide open.

Adjutant Zhao led the elite soldiers of the city defense army and the younger generation of the Du family to fight with the thunder rhinoceros for nearly three hours before killing the thunder rhinoceros.

Lei Xi died, and the remaining two-star and one-star monsters restrained themselves a lot, slowing down their attacks.

But Adjutant Zhao also consumed too much and completely lost his fighting power.

Eighty percent of the elites from the fourth and fifth teams who came with him to the rescue were killed.

There were twenty people when we came, but now there are only four left...

Du Xianglei helped Adjutant Zhao sit aside. He opened the water bag he was carrying and handed it to Adjutant Zhao, "Adjutant Zhao, take a rest and drink some water."

Adjutant Zhao took the water bag and took a sip, and waved to him, "The beast tide has receded, don't worry about me, go and count the casualties, clean the battlefield, and repair the city wall!"

Du Xianglei glanced at Adjutant Zhao and nodded vigorously.

It didn't take long for the preliminary statistics to come out.

In this guard battle at the South City Gate, 80% of the Du family's soldiers died!

Eighty percent of the men from the Du family who participated in the battle died!

Among the remaining 20% ​​of the Du family and soldiers, some are seriously injured, and currently only 10% can continue fighting!

The city defense army has lost 20% of the soldiers guarding the west and north city gates. Adding the losses in the first wave, the city defense army has lost 40% of its strength so far!

The East City Gate guarded by the Chen family lost 70% of its troops after two waves of beasts. It was slightly better than the South City Gate, but not much better.

The news everywhere is not good.

Even after making so many preparations, the city defense army lost only 20 to 30% less troops than the family alliance.

Adjutant Zhao took a deep breath and took Du Xianglei away to return to the city defense forces.

Soon, other news came one after another.

Very few ordinary monsters were seen in the second wave of monsters. Only three ordinary monsters were found at the three gates on the south, west and north sides.

Since Adjutant Zhao has taken over the South City Gate and the Du family's troops, he naturally has to take care of the situation at the South City Gate.

After the war, the soldiers must eat well to replenish their physical strength, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the next wave of beasts.

Adjutant Zhao issued an order to release grain from the city defense army's granary, and incorporated the Du family's troops into the city defense army, with the same treatment as the city defense army.

But this time, the city defense army will have to spend a lot more on food.

Adjutant Zhao sent the city defense troops to the south gate to repair the damaged city wall.

Tian Hui entered the barracks and reported, "Sir, we don't have enough manpower!"

Adjutant Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Let the new soldiers come too!"

Tian Hui wanted to say something to persuade him, but he could only swallow his words when he thought of his comrades who were injured and could no longer go to the battlefield. Didn't the commander know that those recruits had only been trained for a month or two, but at this time they had no training at all?

People are available, and if they are not allowed to take over, how can we let ordinary people take over?

When you join the city defense army, you must have the consciousness of sacrifice!

He told these young people when they entered the city defense army!

Tian Hui finally just nodded and went out to do things.

After the second wave of beasts, the atmosphere in the entire gathering place became increasingly weird. Even the people within the city defense army's sphere of influence became uneasy, not to mention the orcs in the family alliance.

And soon there were rumors spreading wildly in Nancheng and Dongcheng, saying that the gates of Nancheng were breached by monsters. I was afraid that those monsters would soon invade the city and wreak havoc in the city, so those who are capable should run away!
