Chapter 72 Duties
The town of Canberra is now in shambles, with the entire village engulfed in flames and the cries of people endless.
Six strangely shaped awakened people watched happily not far away, they were all the first male awakened people, and the reason why they didn't destroy this place in the first place was just because they wanted to see the miserable situation of human crying for a while.
"Haha, cry, scream, despair! That's the best music, what do you think?" said a praying mantis monster with a smile.
An awakened person like a slug snorted twice, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that a lot of food was wasted, and it was all burned to charcoal." ”
"Don't worry!" said the Awoken, who was covered in black hair like a gorilla, "as long as we complete the mission and rescue Lord Riccardo, Lord Isli will definitely reward us with more food." ”
At this time, a large turtle with a heavy carapace spoke: "Master Riccardo will be caught by Rapoll, no matter how you think about it, is it so strong for humans?"
"Of course not!" said another spider monster, "Haven't you heard? Rapoll has a unit called the Silvereye Slayer, which I say is made up of defected warriors. Lord Riccardo must have fallen into their trap to be captured, right?"
Hearing this, the last mushroom-like awakened person came to his senses: "Is it a lovely junior? But the current organization is really bad, and even the defecting warriors are helpless? Why don't we just suggest that Lord Isli directly attack the organization and become the king of the continent?"
"Will Lord Isli agree?"
"Let's all go together, even Lord Isli will weigh it. ”
"Well, that makes sense. ”
"Then when this mission is over, we will go back to contact our companions and 'advise' Lord Isli!"
"Okay, then don't waste time, I just saw a group of people hiding in a cave, go, go kill them all, then destroy Rapoll and rescue Master Riccardo!"
"Oh!"
The six Awoken answered, ignoring the walls and buildings of the town of Canberra, and marched towards the cave where the people were hiding.
"Quick, those monsters are coming, block the hole with stones!" the garrison of Canberra, a young man, hurriedly greeted his soldiers. They have no chance of winning against the Awoken, but there is a cave at the back of the town where people can hide, and all they have to do now is block the hole with a large rock to buy time.
There were only four soldiers left, including the garrison, and they pushed the heavy stones with all their might, and the entrance to the cave was blocked little by little, and the six Awakened came here.
"Hey, what are you doing?" the slug said unhappily, "Don't hide my food casually!" As he spoke, a tentacle shot out of its mouth, directly piercing the body of a soldier, lifting him high, and then violently withdrawing it, and as soon as the mouth full of sharp teeth closed, it directly chewed the soldier to a pulp, and the blood splattered out violently, spilling all over the ground.
"Loken!" several other soldiers exclaimed in surprise when they saw this, and they couldn't help but stop what they were doing.
Seeing that the speed of the boulder's progress slowed down, the garrison shouted: "Don't get distracted, do what you should do!"
"But sir, Lorcan has been eaten!" one soldier exclaimed excitedly, "I will avenge him!"
"I saw it, I don't need you to tell me again!" the garrison officer still pushed the boulder vigorously: "Have you forgotten the requirements in the defense manual? Tell me loudly!"
The soldier's expression froze, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The garrison must not fight without authorization in the face of the awakened, first of all, it is necessary to set off an early warning bonfire, then to protect the people from taking refuge, and finally to ensure their own safety, and the rest is to wait patiently for the rescue of the silver-eyed slasher!"
"Very well, remember it, and never forget!" said the garrison, "We have set off an early warning bonfire, now all we have to do is to protect the people from taking refuge......, until this is done, our own safety is not worth mentioning!
The soldiers gritted their teeth and once again pressed their shoulders against the boulder, pushing forward with all their might. They did not think that they would be able to hold out until the moment when the hole was closed, and the so-called cellar was nothing more than a white lie, because the garrison did not have private houses in the local area at all, they only had collective dormitories. The so-called home of the garrison is probably far away in Rapoll......
"Oh yes, what a bunch of loyal guys. Another soldier was pulled in front of him by the silk spit out by the spider monster. It smiled and said, "What would the viscera taste like for a person like you?"
In the face of the terrifying giant mouth, the soldier drew his broken sword and slashed desperately, but he couldn't even break the skin of the other party. This is the gap between ordinary people and the Awakened, which is why the manual requires that the garrison troops must not engage the Awakened, because that is not courage at all, but a senseless death.
The slash didn't hurt the spider monster, but it made him angry, and as the silk exerted force, the armor supported by steel instantly deformed and dented, and the soldier was broken in half with a scream, and then swallowed into the stomach by the spider monster.
Only the garrison officer and the last soldier remained, both of whom turned a deaf ear to the tragic situation behind them, and the only thing they had to do was plug the hole, because it was their duty.
"Captain, can the Silver-Eyed Slayer really arrive?"
"Yes, definitely!"
"But even if you ride a horse, it will take a day, and even if they come, this place will be razed to the ground long ago!"
"Yes, you are right, that kind of situation is possible, but this is not a reason for us to abandon our duties! We cannot give up even the slightest hope, even if the body cannot match the awakened, but the spirit must not be broken! Soldier, I am proud of what you have to do! Rapoll is proud of you! The goddess will be proud of you!"
The soldier gritted his teeth, and his tired body once again poured out strength, as the garrison officer said, possible suffering was not a reason to give up, even if it was only for a second, he had to complete his duty!
The boulder roars forward, and the power of humanity is turning the impossible into a possibility. But the Awakened wouldn't watch it, the Gorilla Awakened reached out, grabbed the soldier in his hand, and said disdainfully: "Neither Rapoll nor the goddess can bless you, only death awaits you!" With the force of the big hand, the soldier was crumpled together with the metal armor, and the blood splattered out violently, spilling the garrison officer's body.
But the garrison officer did not waver, but turned his grief and anger into strength, and still pushed the boulder with all his might.
The Gorilla Awoken tries to shoot him to death, but is stopped by the Turtle Awoke.
"What for?" the gorilla asked, unpleasantly.
"Hey, I've got something interesting coming to mind. The Turtle Awoken said, "Let him continue, I'm looking forward to his expression when he learns the truth!"
The gorilla was stunned for a moment, and then laughed evilly: "You're really bad-hearted, but I'm also curious, okay, I'll sell you a face." ”
The Awoken agreed on a certain purpose, watched as the garrison sealed the entrance to the cave with a boulder, and then sat on the ground panting.
"Oh, it's really good, I must have a sense of accomplishment to finally complete my mission and protect the villagers, right?" The Turtle Awakened said suspiciously: "But you don't seem to have figured out the gap between humans and the Awakened, the indestructible boulder in your eyes is vulnerable in the eyes of our Awakened!" As soon as the words fell, several tentacles shot out of the turtle awakened person's body, hitting the boulder fiercely, and when he heard a bang, the boulder was instantly covered with countless cracks.
The garrison's eyes widened, and his face was full of horror: "Don't!"
But the tentacles showed no mercy, and once again struck the boulder, like the last straw that crushed the camel, and the boulder shattered and exploded everywhere, revealing the villagers who were taking refuge inside.
The effort to fight for his life was meaningless, and the blow made the garrison's eyes turn red, and he shouted and drew his long sword at his waist, and rushed towards the turtle awakened.
But a finger gun pierced his right leg, knocking him to the ground. The tentacles wrapped around him and lifted him into the air, and the Awakened laughed, "Hey, this guy's expression is terrifying, like he's going to eat us." ”
The garrison gritted his teeth and said, "Kill you...... The Silver-Eyed Slayer will definitely kill you and break you into pieces!"
"What bullshit silver-eyed slayers, if they don't come, if they do, I'll break their limbs, eat their internal organs, and let them die a miserable death!" shouted the Slug Awakened rampantly.
"Hey, the juniors are used to love, don't eat them all......" The mushroom awakened person just said a word, and suddenly his expression changed: "There is a powerful demonic aura approaching, and it is also an awakened person!"
The Orangutan Awoken looked to the north, scratched his head, and said, "Did Lord Isli send reinforcements?"
"No, it's not from the north, it's from the south! It's fast, I've never seen such a fast awakener, and it's ......" the mushroom awakened shouted in surprise, "It's in the sky!"
Heavenly?
When the Awakened looked up, they saw a thing in the sky with three pairs of wings and a triangular head approaching rapidly, this was undoubtedly an Awakened with the ability to fly, and she had countless thin feet under her, some of which were one section longer than others, and seemed to be not very symmetrical.
This unknown awakened person was extremely fast, and it was already clearly visible after a while, and the six awakened people below could see clearly that it was not a long foot that had grown a section at all, but several people wearing black cloaks!
In their astonishment, the thin feet let go, and the black-cloaked man fell like a cannonball, falling to the ground one after another, making a thumping sound and stirring up dust in the sky.
What is this, a new way to play with humanity? Catch it in the air and drop it down and fall to your death?
But a figure flashed violently, and as soon as the sword light flashed, the tentacles of the turtle awakened were broken. The man caught the fallen garrison and carefully placed it on the ground.
The garrison officer said excitedly, "Are you ...... Are you ......?"
"Yes, here we are!" the man took off his cloak and revealed Innili's face, and she said seriously, "Thank you for your persistence, you have fulfilled your duties perfectly, and now we will take over!"
"Yes! Canberra's real garrison, hand over the battlefield to the Silver-Eyed Slayer!"
Innelli held the other party's bloodied hand and nodded, "Confirm the handover." Take refuge now, warrior!"
"Yes!" the garrison officer burst into tears: "If you can, please avenge my soldiers, they are all a good bunch of guys!"
"Don't worry!" Innelli promised with great seriousness, "None of them can escape!"
The cloak was tossed, revealing the tight leather cloak underneath, as well as the iconic blonde hair and silver eyes, and as the great sword was unsheathed, Innieri stepped forward: "The plural Awakened crusade battle, begin!"
"Yes!"
