Chapter 17 For Yourself and for Them
When Viren and Hill, who had run out of the camp, witnessed the tragedy that had happened in front of them, a great sense of sorrow and shadow hung over the heads of the two and the five magicians. God, what a hell on earth. Scattered corpses were scattered on almost every city wall, and the howls of the killed and wounded soldiers would be heard from all directions towards Viren and the others. After a while, everyone rushed to the first battlefield.
It's not so much a battlefield as a slaughter. A group of only a dozen or so troops were surrounded by a group of human sergeants who were like apostles, and with the rise and fall of these monsters who were once humans, the remnants of a dozen or so troops were slaughtered in an instant. This is indeed a massacre.
"What are you doing in a daze? don't you save people!" Ciel exclaimed. As the longbow was placed on his hand, a black shadow that Viren had seen before condensed into the shape of a bow and arrow, and with a slight shake of his hand, the bow and arrow came out of the string, easily penetrating five or six monsters standing in a line. "They're not your kind anymore! every time you hesitate, there is a chance that more than a dozen of your true compatriots will become the ghosts of those monsters!"
The first to react was Kelly, who cultivated the fire-based magic element, and the cultivation of such a violent element for a long time had more or less changed Kelly's personality. Viren didn't know what Kelly's personality was like before, but now he admired him deeply.
A ball of fire burst out of Kelly's hand and flew straight into the hordes of monsters. In an instant, about five monsters were covered in a sudden fireball and burned until they burned to ashes. And the other magic elements were also thrown into the monster group along with the fire magic, and in an instant, more than a hundred monsters that had been corroded into were cleaned up. When the last monster lost its life and fell to the ground, everyone was surprised to find that there was actually a sergeant who actually held on. However, from the beginning to the end, Viren never participated, just stared blankly at the dead corpses on the ground.
"They, they're all our countrymen, why is this happening? Why are your own people attacking your own people? Why is this happening, why ... ”
"Smack!" Suddenly, Veren felt a burning pain on his face. When he looked back, Viren realized that it was actually Hill who beat him. "Coward!"
"What, what do you say about me?"
"You, coward, you don't have the courage to do anything in the face of the enemy!"
"You actually think of them as enemies?" said Viren, pointing incredulously at the corpses of the monsters that had fallen to the ground. "But you can see clearly, they just suddenly became tall and strong! If it weren't for those black lines, they would be us humans, our compatriots!"
"You said yes and if!, but the fact is that they have become puppets of the apostolic armies outside the city! If they hadn't been acting on their instincts now, they would have opened the gates of the city to welcome the apostles into the city! And you still treat them as your own! Maybe you're right, they still have your human bodies, but their souls have been corrupted!" Hill removed the bow and arrows from his back and continued to Viren. Do you see, it's this bow, even after a long baptism by one of the four pioneers, he still can't completely remove the corrosive power attached to it, and the weapons discarded by those apostles all contain corrosive power that has not been baptized, do you think they can still return to normal after being corrupted souls? Maybe, being able to get liberation is what they want most at the moment, and you, understand?"
Do they really want to find relief? Viren looked at an apostle who was losing signs of life, and saw that his blood-red eyes were gradually returning to their original human color. Viren stared blankly, and suddenly made up his mind, "Thank you, Ciel." I understand. ”
The only sergeant who held out was Lao Mai. After absorbing enough of the defeated soldiers, Lao Mai mustered up the courage to try to take the initiative to rescue the other compatriots who were in trouble. Unexpectedly, before he could advance a few steps, he encountered a small group of survivors who were heavily surrounded. It's just that Lao Mai, who has a hot brain, didn't expect that his own relief from the siege could not change the fate of the survivors who were surrounded, and Lao Mai has now become a survivor of the siege. There was still little resistance, and the reserve soldiers led by Lao Mai gradually fell under the butcher's knife. It's just that Lao Mai was lucky, and just when his troops were lost, rescue appeared.
God, is this magic? Looking at the flames and frost, Old Mai's eyes widened in disbelief. Although he was the only one who survived and re-emerged as a Commander of the Light Pole, he was fortunate enough to see the power of legendary magic.
"Do you know there are other troops nearby?" asked Viren, stepping forward.
Lao Mai hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and it wasn't until Viren repeated it a few times that Lao Mai subconsciously replied: "Probably no more, I gathered all the soldiers nearby along the way, but they all died here." Hey, are you using magic?"
"Yes, magic. Viren smiled, "You're brave, uncle. My name is Viren, can you join us in destroying these corrupted monsters?"
"Of course!" said Old Mai grinned, but was stunned again. "You, you're Viren, the one who used magical power to wound the general of the alien invaders?"
Viren nodded and smiled awkwardly, "Sort of." Do you need rest now? If not, we're going to rescue the rest of the people right away. ”
Lao Mai patted the dust on his body and replied boldly: "Of course, I will set off now." Don't look at the blood on my body, but the blood is left by those monsters. I was a little depressed at first, but when I think about it, maybe they just want us to get rid of them. Don't look at these boys attacking us with great vigour, but their expressions are dull, and I can even press the trace of sadness in their blood-red eyes. ”
"Yes, yes. Viren was a little speechless.
"Boy, I just saw what happened, but I think this elf girl did the right thing. They don't belong to us anymore, so why bother with it. Every time you hesitate, some of your compatriots will die under their butcher's knives, and I'm sure they're miserable. They had no control over their bodies at all, and could only watch as they swung their weapons at their fellow citizens. For your sake and for them, don't hesitate any longer. ”
"I get it, uncle. Viren clenched his fists and smiled, "I won't hesitate any longer. ”
