Chapter 379: That Song
The fire phoenix flew out of the city wall, and the target was directly aimed at the commander of the 8,000-man team.
A fiery dragon fell from the sky, its mouth opening to swallow the commander in one gulp.
The commander of the Thousand Commander also burst out of his source energy, spreading his ice shield to protect his whole body, and crashing into the fire dragon.
In the battle between grandmasters, both sides will rely more on source energy skills to defeat each other. After being promoted to Grandmaster, the increase in damage of the Source Energy Technique is much higher than the increase in physical fitness.
Therefore, when facing an opponent of the same level, each grandmaster thinks that the opponent is extremely strong in attack and defense.
The commander of the 8,000-man team is the grandmaster of the main water auxiliary earth, and he has mastered many defensive source energy skills.
Although the fire dragon looks fierce, the source energy fluctuation of the outbreak is not strong, and I feel that the threat it brings is not great.
That's why the commander dared to harden the fire dragon from the sky.
Sure enough, the fire dragon was rushed away by the commander with the ice shield!
The commander who flew into the sky rushed directly towards the fire phoenix after colliding with the fire dragon.
As soon as the two sides met, the short sword in the commander's hand had not yet been pierced, and a pair of tender white hands seemed to pass through the space in front of the commander and suddenly appeared beside him.
Huo Feng's two hands, one left and one right, grabbed the commander's wrists.
The seemingly soft and slender hands grabbed one of the commander's wrists so hard that no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
At this time, if the commander looked back, he would see the fire dragon that had been knocked away condensed again, and turn his head to pounce again.
Although the commander didn't turn his head to look, the surging source energy fluctuations behind him made him frightened, and he had already surpassed the weak woman in front of him.
Whether it was a head hammer or a kick, it was easily defused by the woman in front of him. The crisis in the rear is getting closer and closer, and the commander still can't break free from the woman's shackles.
The fire dragon flew in, opened its mouth and devoured it, enveloping the two of them and turning them into a fireball that burned furiously in the air.
A miserable cry came from the fireball, and it turned out to be the cry of the commander of the 8,000th team!
After two minutes, the flames gradually faded until they were extinguished, revealing two figures in the air.
The unscathed Fire Phoenix and the charred Commander stood opposite each other, and the posture was still that the Fire Phoenix grabbed the Commander's wrist.
The battlefield below erupted several times in succession, bombs dropped by the Vengeful Pirates.
The explosion sent a wave of air into the air. The qi surged, and the thousand captains shattered into powder and floated downward, leaving only a pair of remaining hands in the hands of the fire phoenix.
Also a grandmaster, Huo Feng killed another grandmaster with only two moves.
The difference in combat power is obvious, the grandmasters of the other two legions turned their heads and ran away when they saw this, they were on par with the combat power of the commander, since they could kill the masters of the commander in seconds, it was naturally easy to kill them, not to mention that there were several other grandmasters on the side to assist.
However, in the end, neither of them escaped, and was besieged and killed by many of the grandmasters of the Avenger Army.
The 8,000-man team completely collapsed, the commander was killed by the fire phoenix, most of the legion soldiers lost their ability and will to fight, more than thirty percent were killed in battle, more than half were captured, and only a small number of legion soldiers broke through and escaped.
The "revenge army" with smiling masks did not pursue further, but calmly returned to the city of Ilgar and continued the previous ceremony of distributing the loot.
In the battle when the avengers defeated the Legion, the decisive contribution was made by the artillery on the city walls.
Artillery salvos can break the formation of the legion, and the legion that cannot perform the synergistic source energy skill is not even as powerful as the pirates of the revenge army, these pirate-born samurai are fierce and fierce, good at using short weapons, and the small-scale cooperation of three or five people is even more skillful and exquisite.
On the other hand, the fire phoenix killed the commander in two moves, resulting in an avalanche rout of the legion, and the army was defeated like a mountain.
Knowing that the avengers had defeated the legion, the people in the square changed from initial panic to inexplicable excitement.
There are constantly people on the high platform, and one by one the accusations of blood and tears that do not know whether they are true or false continue to push the atmosphere to a peak.
By the afternoon, the loot in the square had been removed, and everyone who had taken the loot had taken a smiling mask of the same style as the Avengers.
The loot was not enough, and the smiling masked samurai of the Avengers brought in several boxes of silver coins, with a limit of 100 silver coins per person, so the complaint meeting in the square was able to go on again, and the show continued until the sun went down.
The masked warriors left the square under the reluctant gaze of the people of Irga, and many of the people in the square also wore the masks they had just received.
Suddenly a song came out of the crowd:
Have you ever heard the people singing?
The angry people sang loudly.
He who sings will never be a slave.
The drums of war are stirring, and the heartbeat is harmonious.
Brave New World, tomorrow will come.
The first time, only a few people sang passionately, but after the simple tune was repeated a few times, more than 10,000 people in the square began to sing together.
At the same time, outside the city of Ilga, the few remaining vengeful warriors cleared the battlefield and took all the captured more than 500 legionnaires onto the ships in the harbor.
By the next day, the people of Irgar had all disappeared with masked vengeances.
The ships of the Dock Avengers are gone, so some say that they have run away on ships, and that pirates are still pirates after all.
Others, however, vowed to have seen thousands of masked warriors of the avengers ride away from Irgar.
Wherever they went, the nobles of Irga had already been given their wealth to the city's inhabitants, leaving behind tens of thousands of smiling masks and a popular song.
One day after the vanishing of the avengers, a thousand men of three legions arrived outside the city of Ilga.
Without bloodshed, the Empire once again reclaimed the city of Ilga, which had been captured by pirates.
The good news flew to the imperial capital along the telegram!
Everyone was overjoyed, but no one in the Legion wanted to find out who had gotten the money from the pirates that belonged to the nobles and officials.
Originally, some of the nobles and officials of Ilga still had some relatives who fled outside the city, and these people also returned to the city with the legionnaires who had recovered Ilga.
Although they have been clamoring for revenge on the pirate "Avengers", who murdered nobles and officials, the legion refuses, naturally on the grounds that they are still tracking down the bandits.
So these people turned to ask the Legion to thoroughly investigate the people who had robbed their families of their belongings and recover the losses of their families.
Unexpectedly, this request was also rejected, and after half a day of heated discussion, the three commanders decided to throw the issue to the new officials who were going to come to Irga to fill the vacancy.
The law does not blame the public, it cannot be checked, and it is not dared to be checked!
How can such an offending thing be done by us, the heroic legionaries who have worked so hard to capture Ilgar, do it!
Naturally, we have to wait for those nobles and officials who are in the same breath to solve it.
It was in this chaotic environment that Comey set off alone by train from Irga to the imperial capital.
Comey, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a low-key demeanor, sat in the crowded ordinary car, and the seats rated for three people were squeezed into five people at this time, not that someone forced in, but that the hateful railway company really dared to sell the three seats five times.
Everyone is a tough norther, and after confirming that the culprit is indeed a "damn railway company", they had to scold the boss of the railway company together, and then squeezed their butts into the narrow seats.
Enduring the crowding, Comey lowered his head slightly, not daring to look up at the other five Northern Regions big men huddled together in the seat opposite.
Comey, who has been working and living in the Northern Regions for two years, knows that you can't just make eye contact with people in the Northern Regions.
A lot of the source of conflict is soul torture, "What are you looking at?"
and the standardized Q&A of "What are you doing?" blurted out.
He was also tasked with reporting the "drama" staged by Ilga to the Mithril Council elders, so he tried not to make eye contact with people.
Ilga's performance exceeded Comey's expectations, and he believed that the elders would be surprised, and the acting president would be satisfied, and if he was satisfied, his grandfather would be happy.
With joy in his heart, the songs that have been lingering in Comey's mind these days unconsciously echo.
What started out as a few simple syllables, after a few loops, turned into a continuous hum.
"Do you hear the singing of the valley in the middle of the night? it is the man who chases the sun singing about the light. ”
"In this world of misery, our suffering will come to an end, even in the darkest nights, when the sun rises. ”
"All those who suffer will be set free again in the Garden of God, where we throw away the sword and join hands to cultivate and create a happy life. ”
Comey, who was immersed in the song, suddenly heard another person singing the same song softly to his tune.
"Have you ever heard the people singing?
The angry people sang loudly.
He who sings will never be a slave.
The drums of war are stirring, and the heartbeat is harmonious.
Brave New World, tomorrow will come. ”
The traveler on the other side should be Kemi, a typical Northern Regions man, burly and strong, and he should be an extraordinary person in terms of size. The smell of motor oil on his body, as well as his rough, thick-jointed palms, made it clear that this man was not a combat-savvy being, but a craftsman working in a factory or workshop.
What Comey didn't expect was that as soon as the craftsman finished singing, a woman's voice came out of a corner of the noisy carriage.
"Break the shackles and join us on a journey to a brave new world.
Will you join us in the fight?
Who will be with us in the face of hardship?
Beyond the thorns in front of us, is there a new world that we all look forward to? ”
Comey wanted to stand up and see what the woman singing in the corner looked like, and she shouldn't be too old to sing the song. It's a pity that he was caught by the two of them, and he couldn't stand up when he tried, and the two people who clamped him were also whispering to follow the female voice for a long time.
Under the influence of singing, some people sang the same song one after another:
"Will you give everything you have and follow the sacred banner?"
At the end, most of the people in the carriage sang together:
"Would you like to step up and gamble with your life?
Some will die, and some will live.
The blood of the martyrs will irrigate the earth. ”
