Volume 1 Eternal Life in the Flames Chapter 47 The Past of the Flame
"Baggio, you're always like this, and you're so rude. A nice female voice came, and then Apocalypse saw a tall woman with black hair and black eyes walking out of the crowd, very young, and her face was very handsome, which made people think that she should be a warrior at first glance.
The woman walked up to Apocalypse, glanced at Baggio reproachfully, then put on a smile and stretched out her hand to Apocalypse and said, "Hello, my name is Elise, it's nice to meet you." ”
Apocalypse breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately there was a normal person here, he also reached out and shook hands with the other party and said, "Hello, I'm Longinus, I'm confused, you guys...... It's a rebel, right?"
"That's right, all the rebels in Flame Town are here. Elise shrugged.
"So what did this Baggio bring me here for?"
Baggio tried to put his hand on Elise's shoulder to soften the other party's attitude, but the latter slapped him away, and when he heard the apocalypse, he turned his head and replied, "Of course, I asked about the situation in the Taron region, for at least ten years, this town has not seen people outside of the Dead Plains." ”
"You just believe me, what if I just said it casually?" replied Apocalypse.
"Come on, how can the locals not know about the situation here? I'll tell you the truth, in fact, those blood servants know about our existence, but as long as they don't send them to the door, they won't come to look for us. ”
"Why?"
"Why? The devil knows what they're thinking, but as long as we can keep it going, we'll get together here a lot, sometimes going out and robbing the convoy or the cowards. ”
"Coward?"
"It's the people who spend their lives in the town, farming or producing prisms for those vampires. ”
"Hmm, don't you want to overthrow the rule of the Blood Servants?"
"It is impossible to overthrow, it is impossible to overthrow in this life, and there is no way to fight a war, so you can only rely on robbery to maintain your life. When it comes to the subject of resistance, Baggio seems to be a different person, and he seems to cringe.
Apocalypse understood that these people were not rebels at all, at most they were a group of robbers or bandits, and suddenly he lost interest and decided to leave this place.
"Wait, where are you going?" Elise called out to Apocalypse when she saw that she was away from the crowd.
"I don't know, but get out of here first. ”
"How do we know if you're going to reveal our identities?" A burst of thunderous words came from behind him, and Apocalypse turned around, a bald giant man who was more than two meters tall and looked to be at least a hundred kilograms stared at him fiercely, Apocalypse felt strange, why didn't he notice this person just now.
"Hmph, do you want to keep me?" Apocalypse asked, staring at Baggio, who didn't speak, acquiescing, "When I went down the secret passage just now, that woman came with me to prevent me from doing anything on the way, right? ”
"No way, Brother Longinus, this world is not safe in the first place, and we have to be cautious. Baggio spread his hands, "I think you'd better stay and talk." ”
Apocalypse didn't want to talk nonsense, and hooked his hand to signal the giant man to come over, looking like he didn't care at all, and the people around him were enraged by Apocalypse's contemptuous behavior, and shouted one after another: "Canning, go on, knock that guy down!"
Canning laughed grimly, moving his arm thicker than Elise's waist, and approaching the apocalypse step by step, you know, he can stop the galloping horses without retreating, and the task of robbing the road and stopping the horses on weekdays is entrusted to him, and ordinary people can't beat him, and even some low-level blood servants can't have the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat with him.
"Hey, little one, if you don't want to be beaten by me, you better sit down honestly, we never refuse fresh blood. Canning said as he stared at Apocalypse, who was tall but still a little smaller than himself.
"You mean I'll have to stay with you all the time?" said Apocalypse, standing still.
"What's so bad about that, then you will find that freedom is the most precious thing, much better than being a slave of those blood servants, at least we can do whatever we want. ”
"True freedom is not about doing whatever you want. Apocalypse shot back.
"Hmph, stubborn. Cunning stepped forward, his right arm raised high, and a punch that was fully poised to smash Chrisra's steel armor into deformation was a blow that Apocalypse suspected.
"Roar, roar, roar!" the people around them howled excitedly, and such a bloody and direct fight was a fitting after-show for them.
Apocalypse stretched out his right hand, so fast that no one could see it clearly, grabbed Canning's fist, took a forward step and turned around, and threw the big man directly over the shoulder.
Boom - the body that was more than two meters tall smashed into the ground with a dull sound, and the smoke and dust were also raised, and at the same time the screams of the onlookers were suppressed.
So they can only listen to the revelation in silence: "True freedom is to do what you don't want to do." ”
......
More than thirty people sat on their knees in rows like children who had done something wrong, and Apocalypse stood in front of everyone, telling them about the past glory of humanity, trying to cheer up these still somewhat wild humans and join him in the struggle, but the reaction of the crowd disappointed him.
"Longinus, I understand your expectations, but those Blood Servants are too strong for us to fight them head-on. Elise barely replied, and Baggio simply shrank aside and pretended to be dead.
Apocalypse was about to say something, but saw Elise silently motioning for her to step aside, so he followed her to the river, and the female rebel whispered, "You don't understand, we used to be passionate about regaining what humanity had lost, and Baggio was not like that. ”
"That's why ......," Apocalypse wondered.
"Five years ago, we were the youngest members of the Flame Rebellion, and there were still many upright rebels in the Rebellion. Elise looked at her companions who were gradually beginning to exchange ears, and there was a look of nostalgia on her face, as if she saw a shadow of the past in them, "We have been preparing for almost a year, and it is going very well, everyone is armed, and a small number of people are even able to wear iron armor. On the night of the last day of that year, we launched an attack on the guard in Burn Town. ”
"How many of you are there?" asked Apocalypse.
"Close to two hundred people. ”
"Are such people going to the guard house?!" Apocalypse had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Hmm, there are only a hundred blood servants in a town's guardhouse. Elise was puzzled by Apocalypse's surprise.
"See, the number of blood servants in the Plains of Dead Ashes seems to be much smaller than that of Talen, and in the Talen region, a guard under the jurisdiction of a thousand commanders will be equipped with at least four or five hundred men. "Apocalypse gradually began to understand the differences between different regions.
"Oh. Elise didn't seem to pay much attention to this, and continued, "We surrounded the guard as planned that night, but it was pitch black and there was no movement, and when we launched our final attack, the man appeared. ”
"Who?"
"Lord of the Dead Ashes, Ember. ”
