Chapter 359: The general's reputation in a hundred battles is ruined
When the task was completed, the four of them seemed to think of something, Nima, it doesn't seem to be a rule that it must be completed, right?
!
Seeing that the four of them looked like they were going to eat people, the psychic immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, let's go to the cemetery!"
The four of them followed behind the psychic in anger, they were curious, NPCs can walk freely? Well, it's just the four of them.
"You're finally here?"
The grave keepers are still paying tribute to those martyrs, and those incense and candle ingots seem to be burned endlessly, you know, they have been gone for a long time in the cold autumn.
"Nu, do you ask him?" Zhao Bufan snorted at the psychic.
The psychic smiled dryly: "Let's get down to business first!"
Another gust of wind blew, and the four of them shivered, and the whole cemetery howled again, and the phantom flickered.
I saw that the psychic master's hands were pinched, and there were words in his mouth: "Heaven and earth are spiritual! All laws are one! I came from my mother-in-law, and I should communicate with all the spirits in the world, and wait for the true spirit to appear!"
As the psychic cast the spell, the howls gradually stopped, and the phantoms became more and more solidified, gradually taking on their respective appearances.
"Alright. If there's anything you want to ask, just ask?" The psychic turned his head to look at Leng Qiu and the others, his forehead was sweating, and it was obviously a great drain on him.
The strange thing is that the grave keeper looked at those heroic spirits, but he didn't say anything for a long time, which made Leng Qiu anxious about them, but after thinking about it, Leng Qiu understood again, this should also be part of the program setting, and its purpose is to trigger some tasks.
There was no way, Leng Qiu had no choice but to ask in person: "Didn't you always want to return to your homeland? Now we have worked hard to bring you back here, but why are you here?"
The heroic spirits bowed to Leng Qiu and the others, "Thank you for sending us home!
Leng Qiu's eyes rolled a few times and said, "Let's talk about it!"
Leng Qiu only hoped that this time the task would not be too difficult, after all, the previous Sable King was enough to toss.
"We are already dead, and we should have no more concerns. However, there is love in my heart, even if my soul returns to the loess, it is still difficult to sleep in peace!"
"Uh... That one... Sorry hah. Is it okay to get down to business?" Leng Qiu interrupted Heroic Spirit's memories, and the ghost knew when he was going to talk about it.
Ying Ling looked up at Leng Qiu, his eyes full of sadness, "When I was fifteen years old, I followed the general to fight in the south and the north, and decades have passed. ”
"But, who dares to say that he is invincible after a hundred battles, who dares to say that he will not die?"
Leng Qiu and the four of them rolled their eyes, didn't they say something to pick the key points? But it didn't bother him, after all, the stumbling of the heart, the origin of the love, the slightest bit of helplessness.
The Heroic Spirit at the head fell directly into the recollection:
"General, when will the reinforcements come?" a grim man looked at a gray-haired old man beside him.
The old man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes are not angry, his eyes are cold, his blood is still the same, and his body is also straight. The old man's name was Zeng Yuan, who was the leader of this army, and the cold middle-aged man was Zhou Qiang, who was his adjutant.
Hearing Zhou Qiang ask about the reinforcements, Zeng Yuan was silent, they have been holding on to this city for more than three years, except for a few times at the beginning, no one has supported in the next two years, and even the materials are here and there, so far, they have been out of food for three months, and the food reserves in the barracks can only last for half a month.
Seeing Zeng Yuan's appearance, Zhou Qiang didn't know that there was no one to support them at all.
"It's hateful! It's not that we are weak, but that we are alone. Zhou Qiang looked up to the sky and sighed, his tone full of sadness.
As the saying goes, emotions are contagious.
"General, fight them to the death. The defenders of the border city all knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison.
If there are no reinforcements, why should we defend it? It is better to go out of the city and kill him now.
"Brethren, it is our duty to guard the territory from the invasion of demons. Since you can keep it, you should stick to it to the end, and if you can keep it for a moment, it is a moment. After all, if we hold on a little longer, they will have a moment of peace. Looking at the brothers who were born and died together in front of him, begging to fight to the death at this moment, Zeng Yuan's eyes were already moistened unconsciously.
If they are unkind, how can we be unjust.
"The general is right, it is our duty to defend the territory, and the funny thing is that we are praying and hoping that others will help us defend it. We don't need reinforcements, only to fight to the death!" Zhou Qiang at this moment, his whole body exuded a raging battle intent, and he was like two people just now.
"We don't need reinforcements, we can only fight to the death!"
…………
"We don't need reinforcements, we can only fight to the death!"
Under the encouragement of Zhou Qiang, the soldiers defending the city were all high-spirited, with a fighting spirit, and they regarded death as home.
The world is decided, no matter how much you struggle, it will be in vain after all, because many things are not something you want to do.
The border city has been besieged by the demon army for more than a month, and the soldiers in the city have long been empty, but there is still not the slightest cowardice on their faces.
"Back then, I was determined to sweep the Quartet, and my hands were stained with blood. ”
Now that the sideburns are weak and disabled, Huafa has not changed the heart of the old minister. ”
"Tearfully kowtowed to the south three times, and the dream of Huangliang finally came to naught. ”
"The general's reputation in a hundred battles was shattered, and a handful of loess returned to his hometown. ”
Elder Zeng sang with tears in his eyes.
"The border city has been broken, and my body is still alive. Rather than leaving this stump and letting the enemy trample on it, make relatives cry and let the world scold, it is better to turn this city into the dust of history. ”
Zeng Yuan took the lead in rushing out.
The waning moon on the horizon was like a cold hook, the fire was terrible, flickering and dark, and the corpses on the ground were everywhere, except for the flag, although it was soaked in blood, it still danced with the wind.
Blood flowed all over the earth, and the sound of killing never stopped in my ears.
When the dawn of dawn shone on this border city again, the only people who were still standing, except for the demons, were Zeng Yuan and the banner in his hand.
"Ahem... It seems that I am finally getting old and a little useless. Zeng Yuan's body was full of sharp blades, and after a night passed, his blood had already dried up, and he could still stand at this moment, all with the belief in his heart.
"We can't regain the lost ground, we are powerless. How can you keep the territory smaller and smaller!" Zeng Yuan's eyes rejuvenated, and he didn't know where he got the strength, holding the flag, and killing the demon again.
No one knows what happened at the end. I only know that all the demons committed by them have been killed, and since then, this city has become a dead city.
Moreover, whenever the waning moon is like blood, a huge shadow appears in the city, often accompanied by the following sentence: "We are powerless if we cannot recover the lost territory." How can you keep your territory smaller and smaller?"
…………
Leng Qiu's eyes widened instantly, it is not difficult to think that those demons must have been killed by that general, and that general, not only fought for the border city when he was alive, but even after death, he was willing to turn into a resentful spirit, guarding the city over there, not letting it fall into the hands of the demons.
"We should have followed the general's left and right, even if only the remnant soul remains, we should still guard the territory!" the heroic spirit burst into tears from the beginning of his memory.
"But that's just a selfish approach!" Leng Qiu said. "You have a clear conscience! But then the border city will become a dead city completely. ”
The border city is lost, and it can be recaptured, but Zeng Yuan's behavior, to put it mildly, is a model for all soldiers (those who are soldiers, who never thought that they still guard the great rivers and mountains of the motherland after death!) But to put it mildly, it is the so-called ghosts. Zeng Yuan's move caused the border city to accumulate a lot of resentment and death, and it became unsuitable for human habitation.
Heroic Spirit said, "Of course we know this. It's just that the general was too obsessed, and instead of listening to our persuasion, he drove us out. We wandered around and finally ran into you!"
