Chapter 408: I Can't Save It
As long as it is human, there must be weaknesses.
And as long as it is a person who wants to live, it must be more obedient than a person who is bent on death.
So, Dongfang Shuo came out with a sword, pointing to the southeast.
The step on his foot caused the spiritual power to turbulent, leaving a few ripples, and the body had already pierced through dozens of feet like an arrow from the bow, and in just the blink of an eye, it was like a violent wind sweeping the ground and rushing into the mountains and forests. When the sword qi swept over the forest with the blade, it made the forest shake and rub, as if it was trembling with fear.
In the blink of an eye, Dongfang Shuo, which swept into the mountains and forests, disappeared without a trace.
After only about three or five breaths, the turbulent mountain forest returned to calm, and the spar insects hanging upside down from the branches also fell to the ground after the silver filaments broke, and then began to turn black and fester, and all of them shrank to the size of fingers, and finally turned into charcoal without exception.
Between the mountains that had been chaotic a moment ago, all the turmoil had come to an abrupt end at this moment.
All the soldiers who were still alive looked left and right, and the bones and blood stains all over the ground told the tragedy of Fang Cai, and the living people felt the tranquility and peace at this moment, and the younger ones with a slightly worse heart also knelt on the ground at this time because of the sudden relaxation of tense nerves, as if they had lost their souls.
As for the three generals who were still alive, looking at the scene in front of them, their faces were still extremely surprised, even more intense than Fang Cai.
"What the hell is this...... What's going on?"
"Why are all these hedrons dead?"
The collar kept asking.
And just when they were puzzled, behind the nearby trees, there was a sudden sound of brisk but unhurried footsteps.
The three of them turned their heads to look, but before they could raise their vigilance, they saw the figure coming from behind the shade of the tree.
Dongfang Shuo.
It was only after he drew his sword in that direction that everything changed so suddenly.
At this moment, he slowly returned from that direction with a sword in his hand, which really made the hearts of the three of them move.
"Could it be that he solved this crisis?"
"Yes...... How the hell did he do it?"
The three generals looked at each other, and there was even more disbelief in their eyes.
But despite how hard to believe, this is already the only explanation.
And thinking of this, the three of them were afraid for a while.
If all this is really Dongfang Shuo's doing, it means that his strength has reached an unfathomable level. If the poisoning failed, if they took the initiative to attack Dongfang Shuo, I am afraid that they would die under Dongfang Shuo's sword before they died of the spar worm.
Snort.
The sound of the sword being retracted suddenly startled the three of them, and at the same time, they quickly retracted their drifting thoughts.
Afterwards, Dongfang Shuo looked at the three of them, and then at the other two generals who were already on the side.
"These two guys are dead, and there should be no chance of resurrection. Dongfang Shuo stopped, and instructed the three people who were still alive, "Bury them, and erect two more monuments, which can be regarded as giving their souls a place to live." ”
When the three of them heard this, their eyes met.
Then, one of them stepped forward and said tremblingly, "Team Leader Dongfang, this ...... After all, they are also imperial soldiers, and it is a bit ...... to bury their bodies here without entering the ancestral sacrifice place?"
Being said like this, Dongfang Shuo suddenly remembered.
In this place of Xuzhou, there is a strong obsession with recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors, and not entering the ancestral temple seems to be the most terrible thing.
"We have more important things to do, and it's just a burden to carry them. But Dongfang Shuo naturally would not compromise, and when he said this, he walked in the direction of the soldiers, "Do as I say." ”
The three of them looked at each other, frowned, and finally had to sigh separately.
As for Dongfang Shuo, who left the three of them, he went straight to the side of the soldier.
Looking at the corpses and bones all over the ground, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Although the soldiers who were still alive were shocked, they also got up one after another when they saw Dongfang Shuo coming.
"Most of them weren't hurt in the face, but they could still recognize who was who. After Dongfang Shuo's eyes swept around, he walked to the side of a corpse whose face was seriously damaged, and then raised his eyes and asked the soldiers, "But this corpse and face are completely destroyed, can anyone recognize who he is?"
Everyone looked around in a daze.
But after a few moments, one of them walked out of the group and said, "He's my old friend, and I recognize the scar on his hand." ”
Dongfang Shuo nodded, then looked around the team, and finally locked his eyes in one direction.
His eyes signaled, and after a while, Su He walked out of the team.
The five generals didn't have any clever means, and they didn't know much, so naturally they didn't know what the relationship between Su He and Dongfang Shuo was. And Su He, on the other hand, was also lucky, he was placed in the middle of the team by those five people, and he didn't shout very clearly, so it was time for Dongfang Shuo to end the matter.
When Su He came to Dongfang Shuo, the latter handed out a copy of the list of soldiers and handed it to the former.
After that, Su He's task was also very simple, that is, to confirm the identity of the deceased and mark their respective identities on their respective bodies.
After he had finished everything, Dongfang Shuo took the transcript of the record, and then handed him a vow.
"Let's put all the corpses in it, and then send them back to their places of origin for burial. ”
Oriental Shuo Road.
A living being is not allowed to enter the vows, but a dead creature is a piece of flesh.
And the meat can be put into the vows.
No matter how many people die, it is just a matter of one more ring, and it will not cause any drag on those who are still alive.
When Su He did so and returned to Dongfang Shuo, the three generals who had buried the two generals also happened to return to Dongfang Shuo's side.
When they saw the blood stains all over the ground, but there were no bones, and they saw Su He handing out the ring to Dongfang Shuo, they suddenly understood something.
"You can use the Na Ring, why do you want us to bury the two of them on the spot?"
A general stepped forward and asked.
And Dongfang Shuo took the ring unhurriedly and put it away, and then looked in the direction of the three of them.
He glanced away, glanced at the two low mounds and two tombstones on the edge of the valley in the distance, and finally returned to the three of them.
"In a few days, when the iron hooves of the Empire step over this valley, this will also be the territory of the Empire. Dongfang Shuo opened his mouth and said, "The two generals are buried here, but they are loyal to the territory and loyal to the empire, isn't such a noble name what the two generals want?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were stunned.
They know that this is a grand name, but they can't refute it with every word.
But after thinking about it, those two people didn't have much to do with them, and it would be too stupid for the three of them to still oppose Dongfang Shuo at this moment.
"Dare to ask...... How many people were killed or wounded in this battle?"
Immediately, one of the generals bypassed the topic.
Dongfang Shuo's eyes fell on him, and he said truthfully: "Ninety-six people died in battle. ”
The three of them immediately frowned, and they all were stunned: "Six out of ninety?"
Although I saw many people suffering from afar, it was not as many as nearly a hundred.
Later, one person asked: "May I ask the team leader of the East, how did you break the enemy?"
When asked about this, Dongfang Shuo turned his head and looked at the man again.
He said: "Although there are many demon spirits, in fact, only one is a brain, and the others are just a trick to cover the eyes. And as long as you kill the main body with a sword, naturally all the remaining 'shadows' will also die. ”
After listening to Dongfang Shuo's narration, the other general immediately frowned and stepped forward and stood in front of Dongfang Shuo.
He looked at Dongfang Shuo and said, "That means that you can already use your sword to settle the world, but you have to wait for the three of us to beg you for mercy before you are willing to use your sword, and you have buried so many people's lives in vain?"
When the words fell, there was a sudden stumbling around.
The people who were still alive looked at each other, and the soldiers suddenly became a little confused.
And Dongfang Shuo was questioned like this, and couldn't help but squint.
"I can't save everybody. ”
He said.
At the same time, he seemed to notice that the person standing in front of him at the moment was really indignant at those who died tragically at the hands of the demons.
And if you think about it carefully, this person is the only one among the several generals these days, who has the least contact with him, and may even be suspected of deliberately avoiding Dongfang Shuo.
After some scrutiny, Dongfang Shuo can also preliminarily conclude that this guy is Gongzi Zhang's eyeliner.
After this person got Dongfang Shuo's answer, he immediately said in a cold voice: "In order to force us to betray General Lu Yanzhang, you did not hesitate to die for those soldiers who were suffering from the poison of demons, which shows that you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, and such a style is really terrifying." ”
Dongfang Shuo's heart sank.
"I kneel down to you so that fewer people die tragically and more people can live. There are five of us who want to do you badly, but what is wrong with those soldiers who were killed by the demons? What kind of heart do you have to be able to save them from death?" the soldier continued to question.
At this time, Dongfang Shuo chose to be silent.
And in his heart, he already has other plans.
"Although General Lu Yanzhang is not a selfless person, you are a completely selfish person. The young man, who didn't get a response from Dongfang Shuo, continued, "You saved the rest of the people, and I can be your witness, but that doesn't mean I'm on your side." On the contrary, to walk with someone like you, who can sacrifice the lives of others for the sake of achieving a goal, only makes me very uneasy. ”
"We still have the mission of the Empire. ”
Dongfang Shuo said calmly.
The man frowned and said, "I will do what I have to do, but only one thing, and that is that I will never walk with you." ”
Dongfang Shuo sighed.
Subsequently, he said: "The situation after Taniguchi is not clear, and it may not be a good thing to go separately. Let's go, I can protect you. ”
"I am a witness, and you will naturally protect me. But what about those soldiers? Their lives, in your opinion, are they as cheap as mustard?" the man was still questioning Dongfang Shuo.
At this time, Dongfang Shuo remained silent again.
After a moment of silence, the man snorted coldly, took two steps back, and said in a loud voice: "I want to be like a valley at this moment, and those who are willing to go with me, please follow." When the words fell, he glanced at Dongfang Shuo coldly, then turned his head and walked towards Taniguchi.
At this time, the sound of rustling in the team gradually became louder.
Then, one after another, people came out of the ranks, most of them old people, and the rest were shaken people.
And not only those soldiers, but also one of the other two generals, could not help but waver and followed.
