Chapter 31: The Fourth Level of the Human World
Once inside the city gates, I found that a straight avenue led to a stone castle in the middle of the walled city with a strong Gothic style. The avenue is lined with stone houses of varying heights and thatched houses with mud walls and grass roofs. On both sides of the avenue, there were many people kneeling in tattered clothes.
Hans smiled in the back and said, "Because Little Joe said that the defense measures must be built first, the people's livelihood is a little worse." ”
At this time, a bald old man crawled up to me, kissed my feet and said, "King Wuzhong, the master of human slaves." ”
I hurriedly helped him up, picked up a little girl kneeling in front of me next to me, and said loudly, "Stand up." ”
The crowd was unmoved, and Hans whispered from behind, "You have to say flat." ”
I ignored him and handed the little girl to Wang Keke. He turned around and walked quickly to a large stone mill, jumped lightly, and stood on the stone mill.
I thought about the scene of the great man speaking in the movie, crossed his waist with one hand, waved the other hand forward, and said loudly: "Brothers, human slaves." A few of the kneeling people below quietly raised their heads, and I gave them a look of encouragement, and continued: "I know what you are thinking in your hearts, you must be wondering, is this so-called Wuzhong Heavenly King, who has never seen before, our savior? Can he let us escape the fate of being eaten by the divine beast? Can he give us freedom?"
I deliberately paused to watch as more and more people with their heads on their stomachs quietly raised their heads and looked at me with inquiring eyes. I nodded in satisfaction and said loudly, "I'll tell you the answer, it's no." ”
There was a "buzzing" sound from the crowd.
Hans shouted anxiously in the distance, "Old Xu." ”
Still ignoring him, I pressed my hands down and said, "But I know how to be free, how to escape the miserable fate of being food, not by heaven, not by the earth, not by the mercy of those false gods, but only by ourselves. ”
There was a louder "buzzing" sound from the crowd.
I saw the crowd of people looking up in twos and threes, their unruly eyes shining brightly. I nodded my head of encouragement and said loudly, "First of all, I ask you to stop calling yourself human slaves, we are human beings, people who stand up to the heavens and the earth. ”
In the crowd, several big men suddenly stood up and shouted, "King Wuzhong is right, we are human beings, not slaves. ”
I jumped off the stone mill, walked up to them, hugged them one by one, pulled up a few more people, and said in a loud voice, "Men have gold under their knees, they kneel to heaven and earth and their parents, and slaves are groveling." And we, are people. Now we all stand up and follow me, we are human beings. ”
More and more people stood up and shouted after me with tears in their eyes, "We are people, we are people." ”
I turned and ran back quickly, jumped on the stone grinder, waved my arms, and said, "Now everyone sing a song with me." ”
Clearing my throat, I began to sing:
Arise, hungry and cold slaves,
Arise, he who does not want to suffer,
Full of blood has boiled,
Fight for freedom!
The old god realm is a falling flower,
Slaves, get up!
Don't say we have nothing,
We want to be the masters of the divine realm!
This is the final struggle,
United for tomorrow,
The ideal of freedom must be realized.
This is the final struggle,
United for tomorrow,
The ideal of freedom must be realized!
There has never been a savior,
It doesn't depend on the Immortal Emperor either.
To create the happiness of mankind,
It's all up to us!
We want to reclaim the fruits of our labor,
Let the mind break out of the cage.
Quickly burn the fire red,
Strike while the iron is hot to succeed!
This is the final struggle,
United for tomorrow,
The ideal of freedom must be realized.
This is the final struggle,
United for tomorrow,
The ideal of freedom must be realized!"
Everyone's eyes widened and they all sang this adapted version of "The Internationale" to me one by one, and by the third time, I didn't have to lead the singing. The crowd erupted in a huge singing voice, reaching into the sky.
I watched as everyone blushed and sang hoarsely, "There has never been a savior, and it doesn't depend on the immortal emperor." To create human happiness, it is up to us!" I couldn't help but feel excited.
At this time, the first few bald men who stood up squeezed through the boiling crowd, walked in front of me, knelt down on one knee, and said to the first big man with a fist: "King Wuzhong, brothers are convinced by you, from now on, we will fight wherever you point, until the ideal of freedom is fully realized." ”
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll send you an instructor at the three levels of the human world, and Hans will bring you weapons." The first thing we have to do is to build the fourth level of this human realm and rescue more brothers from the divine realm. ”
He nodded, tears in his eyes, but they sparkled with a light that I knew was a ray of hope.
Walking into the castle, Wang Keke grabbed me, stood up and down in front of me, looked at me back and forth, and saw that I was inexplicable.
At this time, Xiao Xu said to me with a smile: "I helped Coco's mother say, I didn't see it, Xu is three years old, you still have this ability." ”
Before I could answer, Hans smiled and said to them: "Mr. Xu's ability to motivate people is amazing, when he was in Africa, his project department worked every day like a chicken, and he did the work of others for a year in half a year." ”
Qiao Zhijun also said: "Even Secretary Chen listens to Mr. Xu, she often says that Xu is always the real chosen one." ”
At this time, Battalion Commander Li walked in with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, I really convinced you." ”
I looked at them and said solemnly, "I really sympathize with them, since they call me Wuzhong Heavenly King, whether it is from my promise to the chief or from the feelings in my heart, I hope to be able to lead them to true freedom." ”
The crowd was in awe.
Battalion Commander Li stood upright, gave me a military salute, and said: "When the chief explained the task, he repeatedly emphasized that our team does not send instructors, and everything except commanding the battle is arranged by Mr. Xu. ”
I stretched out my hand to take the hand of this bold Shandong man and said: "I can't command the war, and you can't do politics." So let's do our part, each according to his ability. ”
He laughed out loud and took my hand tightly with both hands.
After dinner, we sat in front of the fireplace as usual drinking tea and chatting.
Hans gave me an overview of the current state of the walled city.
There are 60,000 rebels in the whole walled city, and about 10,000 can fight, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled. Combined with Hans's mercenary team of 500 men, and the 1,000 men we are stationed in today, it is more than enough to defend the walled city.
The weapon situation is not very good, although Hans and Qiao Zhijun have sent a large number of weapons in, but there are still 8,000 people in the rebel army who use cold weapons.
And due to the collection of the rebels, the current walled city is likely to have been discovered by the Protoss.
As he was talking, Battalion Commander Li hurriedly walked in and said, "The guard post has found that there are strange beasts outside the checkpoint. ”
The swimming post arranged by Qiao Zhijun also sent a message that a strange beast had been found.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and I turned to Battalion Commander Li and said, "You can take command." ”
Battalion Commander Li smiled and said, "Okay." ”
The battle began suddenly.
Battalion Commander Li spread out a battalion of soldiers he had brought with him on both sides along the city gates, with the troops of the Hila commune at the back. Hans's men went to the fortress on the side of the mountain. The old, weak, sick and disabled in the walled city were all transferred to the castle and cave, the barricades were piled up in the walled city, and the rebels were guarded everywhere in groups of thirty people.
I raised my glasses and saw countless strange beasts about two meters tall and more than three meters long, with all kinds of blue faces and fangs rushing towards the city gate in battle formation. Gunshots rang out from the gates, and short rays of light shot straight at the beasts.
It can be seen that Battalion Commander Li's troops have a very high shooting accuracy, and almost every alien beast has endured dozens of special armor-piercing shells, and they have no choice but to fall on the winning ground in front of the city gate, raising bursts of smoke.
I looked to the back of the herd of strange beasts, and saw the shadows of the trees shaking, and the shadows of the beasts were longing, and I don't know how many strange beasts were rushing towards the city gate.
Xiao Xu suddenly said, "There are people who can fly." ”
I held my binoculars and looked at the sky, and sure enough, dozens of alien beasts with a wingspan of about ten meters, resembling magnified hyenas, crossed the line of fire from the air and landed in front of the walled barricades.
Flames erupted from the barricades, and anti-aircraft machine-gun armor-piercing rounds knocked a newly folded beast to the ground. The other flying beasts gathered their wings and quickly pounced on the barricades, their submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles spitting tongues of fire, and the beasts kept retreating.
A scream came, and I saw a person being dragged out of the barricade by a strange beast, and the Pu knife in the other hand was still slashing at the chest of the strange beast, but the strange beast didn't care about the Pu knife at all, threw the person to the ground, stepped on the human body with his foot, bit his head off in one bite, chewed a few times and swallowed it, and the blood on the corpse spurted out more than a meter away.
Xiao Xu looked at me with a pale face, and Wang Keke's hand holding me was also full of sweat.
I gently patted Xiao Xu's head and said, "You guys are here to sweep the formation for Lao Xu." ”
Feeling Wang Keke's hand tighten, I turned back and smiled at her, shook off her hand, pulled out my bayonet, and jumped down from the window of the watchtower.
The whirring wind whistled in my ears, and the distance of more than ten meters was instantaneous, and a wave of pride suddenly surged in my chest, and on the wooden rafters on the roof of a thatched house, I jumped in the direction of measurement, unloaded most of the falling power, flipped on the ground, and then jumped up, and quickly ran towards the flying beast.
A few seconds later, I appeared behind the beast, jumped up about three meters with my right foot, and thrust my bayonet into the back of the beast's head.
Drawing my bayonet and landing on both feet, I quickly ran to the other beast, jumped up, and plunged the bayonet into the beast's chest. With my right foot on the beast's body, I floated backwards, landing on a backflip and standing firmly on the barricade.
That's when the barricades saw me, raised their hands and yelled.
For a while, a cheer erupted in the walled city: "Wuzhong Heavenly King, Wuzhong Heavenly King." ”
I raised my hand, and my voice calmed down. I shouted behind me, "Melee fighters come out, surround the beasts, and those with guns aim at the head." ”
I saw a few bald men running out of the barricade with people, all carrying powerful maces in their hands, and surrounded several strange beasts. A big man raised his mace and struck it at the beast, and the beast's body immediately flew with flesh and blood. I looked at him in amazement, but he commanded the others to keep beckoning to the beast with knives, guns and sticks, and the beast was constantly shot in the head, swaying like a rag tossed in the wind.
A moment later, all the flying beasts that had broken into the city were wiped out.
