The next moment, Moyuan rushed out first to clear a path for Si Jiuyue. Yunyan followed closely behind to clear away any remaining obstacles. Only Gu Jingzhan stood in the back, sighing incessantly, frustrated that he wasn’t the one out there fighting alongside Si Jiuyue. Si Beixing simply shook his head while looking for a place to take cover. He pulled out spare clothing and told everyone to wrap themselves up, leaving only their eyes exposed; even if the city gates didn’t open in time, this would at least provide temporary protection against the locusts.
Up ahead, under the cover of Moyuan and Yunyan, Si Jiuyue quickly reached the city gate. On the gate tower, the guards were firing cold arrows downward, trying to stop the refugees from entering while simultaneously trembling with fear at the sight of the approaching locust swarm—they already knew how devastating these locusts were elsewhere.
The locusts cared not whether one was a guard or a refugee. They would devour anyone all the same.
