Chapter 617: The City of Martyrdom (21)
"No!"
Randall, who witnessed the tragic death of his companion, let out a loud roar, only to see him abandon his shield, hold his sword in both hands, cut a parasite in front of him into two pieces from his waist, and rushed to the stairs to retrieve his companion's body.
The parasitic corpse, which was only the upper half of its body, fell at Randall's feet, and suddenly burst out in the middle of the struggle, biting fiercely at the latter's calf.
An arrow fell from the sky and pierced the parasite's head, pinning it to the ground.
Ashley drew another arrow, and the bowstring exploded, sending a parasitic corpse climbing onto the wall into the air.
She shouted at the survivors on the ground, "There are too many of these!"
Carol retreated to Randall's side as she fought, and said in a deep voice, "She's right, these ghosts have taken over most of the walls, and they will soon be able to attack the rooftop!"
Ashley commanded the griffons to hover in the air as she shouted, "Listen! I'll only take one more person with me!"
Randall, who slowly calmed down, looked at the situation around him.
He knew Ashley was telling the truth.
There were more and more enemies around the rooftop, and the Valkyrie would only be able to land one more time at most, which meant that only one of himself, Carol, and Aldnan would be saved.
Randall swung his sword and slashed off the head of an enemy, and without looking back, he said to Carroll, "I said before that I would be the last one to leave." ”
Carol smashed the axe vertically, smashing a parasite crawling on the ground, and shouted, "What about Barbara? Are you going to make her desperate again?!"
Randall inhaled hard and suddenly whispered, "She's pregnant." ”
"What?!"
"I also found out about it a while ago. Randall plunged his sword into the mouth of his enemy, smashed the latter's brain stem, and pulled it out again, saying, "That child will be the continuation of my bloodline, and the hope of her life......"
Carol shook her head and said, "Then you should go back to her!"
Randall turned his head, smiled at Carroll, and said, "My child, a hybrid of a human and an elf. When he was born, I wanted people to call him a son of heroes so that he would not be discriminated against and bullied. He and his mother will live in glory and happiness. ”
Carroll looked at Randall and instantly understood the other party's painstaking intentions.
He nodded slowly, and then said loudly to the Valkyrie hovering in the air, "We have chosen the last man!"
Watching Ashley slowly descend, Carol grabbed Aldenan, who was fighting like a madman.
The werewolf's eyes were bloodshot, his arms kept shaking, and his mouth repeatedly said: "I'm not a coward, I'm not a coward......"
Carol grabbed Aldnan by the shoulder and said to him, "You should go. ”
As if he couldn't believe his ears, Aldnan opened his eyes wide and said incoherently, "I? But you, I always thought ......"
Feeling the strong wind pressure as the griffin descended, Carol slowly took Aldnan into his arms, patted the other man on the back, and whispered, "Live well...... Brothers. ”
Before Aldnan could react, he suddenly realized that he had been thrown into the air by Carroll.
Under Ashley's command, the griffon swooped down, clawed at the werewolf, and flew off into the distance with a long roar.
Ashley, riding on the back of a griffin, took one last look at the bell tower that was flooded by the corpse tide, slowly closed her eyes, and turned her head.
The chirping of griffons could no longer be heard in the sky, and the last shred of light was swallowed up by the dark clouds.
Carol and Randall fought as they fought and retreated, eventually retreating into a corner on the rooftop.
Carol, whose chest heaved violently and gasped, knocked a parasitic corpse off the platform with a single punch.
Looking at the black liquid of the parasite that fell on the gauntlet, Carol hurriedly took off the white smoke and gradually corroded equipment and threw it on the ground.
Randall's longsword had long since broken in two, and all he could do now was use the broken sword, which was only the length of a palm, as a dagger.
Seeing more and more parasitic corpses jumping over the walls at the edge of the rooftop, a rare smile appeared on Carol's face.
"We're running out of time. ”
Randall also smiled and replied, "yes." ”
"In the end, do you have any wishes?"
Hearing Carroll's question, Randall thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure it's too late to see my kid...... If possible, I would like to see my mother after death and receive her forgiveness. ”
"I've heard about it, and if you want me to say, it's not your fault. ”
Randall picked up a rock from the ground, smashed the head of a nearby enemy, and said, "What about you?"
Carol was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said, "I have a sentence that I have always wanted to say to a woman. ”
"What kind of words?"
"Thank you for the warmth she once gave me and made me believe in the world again. ”
Randall looked sideways at Carroll, and although he didn't speak, there was a faint warmth on his face.
This look made Carol feel a little uneasy and embarrassed.
Finally, the two had nowhere to retreat.
Dense clusters of parasitic corpses blocked the entire rooftop, and parasites roaming around made the ground look like a woven carpet.
Carol threw the cracked axe at the crowd, unable to support the fatigue anymore, and slowly sat down against the wall, whispering, "It's finally over......"
Randall's eyes were blank in the face of the rush of corpses, leaning against the wall and looking up at the sky.
"The wind is blowing. ”
The wind is blowing......
In the low, gray sky, a violent hurricane suddenly set off, blowing away the dark clouds that had gathered together.
A ray of sunlight cast from above the clouds, through the haze air, reflected on the earth.
A dragon head reflecting the colorful light of the muddy body pierces through the layers of clouds and mist, and follows the sunlight towards the city.
At first it was the dragon's head, then the dragon's neck, dragon's wings, dragon's claws, and finally the dragon's claws.
A ray of light hotter and more dazzling than the sun burst through the air, and a majestic dragon flame bombarded the city of Taylor, instantly sweeping through several streets.
Thousands of parasitic corpses were in the dragon flames, like the snow that melted in June, which was evaporated and dried up in an instant, and there was no trace of them again.
The dragon landed in the middle of the city, and the impact of its claws against the ground caused the entire ground to vibrate.
Buildings that had long been dilapidated had collapsed and turned into a pile of rubble, and the moat, which had been calm and calm, was swept up the embankment and flooded the streets.
The dragon's footsteps moved, and the second dragon flame directly bombarded the bell tower on the hill on the outskirts of the city, and those parasitic corpses like ants turned into charred corpses in the flames.
Feeling the vibration under his feet, Randall straightened his spine, he grabbed the dragon badge on his chest, looked at the colorful dragon in the distance, and said to Carol, who was sitting on the ground behind him, "You must not believe what happened......"
