Chapter 628: The Meaning of Sacrifice
The so-called stronghold is a part of a mountain that has been dug up.
It looks like it's supposed to be a trace of battle, but it just happened to be blasted open by something, and it shouldn't be a specially created shelter.
Huang Taiyi didn't know how effective this kind of spell could be, it felt like it was indeed useful, at least there were no zombies here at all, and he didn't know if he was driven away or set up some illusions, anyway, he didn't see any obstacles and went straight over.
To be honest, it's really very simple, probably the part of the door is sealed by a stone slab, and it's not even a cave inside, it's still semi-open, and the door is guarded by two ordinary monks, and there are five people with combat effectiveness in total, compared to the number of zombies, it's sad.
There are not many people who are protected, only four, and they are unmistakably civilians in terms of dress.
How can they even protect civilians?
It feels a little strange, but it's not the kind that makes people suspicious, and it may not be enough to understand the matter of the Fire Burning Sect.
“…… So, I'm looking for the location of the artifact, why are you here? ”
As soon as the emperor wanted to negotiate with the other party, he did not hide the process of fighting with the Ten Laws Maitreya and the matter of the zombie siege, even if he didn't say it, these people should know that they were all inseparable.
"This village is the border of my sect, it is very close to several roads, it is a place that needs to be heavily defended, we are the defenders, and those people in it are civilians from nearby villages......"
Hades is considered a local, and when it comes to these things, almost everything is under control.
To cut a long story short, he was quick to explain the situation as well.
Although it is the border, the zombies here are not very fast, so they can barely react a little, but even so, there are only so many people who can be rescued.
They don't know what to do next, and the materials have only been rescued a little bit, just now because they wanted to go out to collect some living materials before they were discovered and attacked by the zombies, if Huang Taiyi didn't appear, the end might be completely wiped out.
"These people you are protecting here are undoubtedly weak people who have no combat power, even then do you have to protect them?"
As soon as Huang Taiyi was accustomed to the doctrine of the Fire Burning Sect that the strong were born and the weak died, he would feel all kinds of unnaturalness at this time.
"It is our duty to protect the people, and besides, the people are not hostile enemies on the battlefield, no matter how weak they are, they are the foundation of our sect, and they cannot be generalized."
The appearance of the catastrophe with a straight face is unexpectedly focused, which makes people dare not complain casually.
It seems that they have misunderstood their teachings a little, and it may be that they raise a hundred kinds of people in the same way.
That's right, if it's really only the strong who have enough strength to survive, then it's absolutely impossible to be so orderly, and it has long become a lawless Shura country, and the struggle can only be said to be a fashion, a kind of faith, and it can't be said that those who are weaker than themselves must all die.
There are internal contradictions, or there is competition between each other, the solution is to fight to the death, regardless of parents and brothers, the winner will have the right to speak, but this is only limited to a small number of situations, and most people will choose to live honestly.
"I see, I misunderstood, as a town guard, how well do you understand the magic weapon of creating zombies?"
Huang Taiyi is in desperate need of a tool man.
I don't need anything else, as long as I can show the way to the old driver.
"My sect is not good at creating zombies, and for a long time, it has been entrusted to other sects, and I only know some skins."
The Underworld also answered the question honestly.
"You're a maverick."
Huang Taiyi knew that the five major sects would create a large number of zombies for expeditions every once in a while, and the target was the opposite side of the wall, but in fact, he didn't know if he really thought that there was a Pure Land of Bliss over there, maybe it was a way to maintain his rule.
"My sect believes that the use of zombies in large quantities is the behavior of the weak, but because of the past covenant, zombies must also be provided, as other sects often do...... That kind of way to find a way to increase the production of zombies, my sect will never use it. ”
The words of the underworld are tough and decisive, and it seems that it is indeed very disdainful of the mass production of zombies.
Since the material of the zombie is a person, the way to increase production is, of course, to increase the number of people, as for this method is very animalistic, the emperor can't even think of it.
Since the Fire Burning Sect would not do such a thing, whether it was pretentious or pretentious, or bound by the doctrine, it could at least prove one thing.
- Their personality is not yet so inferior that it is incurable.
If you want to unify the five major sects, the manpower required must be a huge number, and the existing few people are definitely not enough, at least, at least some allies, or subordinates who can be barely trusted.
The Fire Burning Sect only surrendered to power, and did not go crazy like other sects, in fact, it was only when they saw this at the beginning that they were the first to come to the door to kick the hall, and these people in front of them should be able to believe it for the time being.
"I'm completely clear, now I have to find out where the artifact is buried, the condition on the other side of the tower is okay but it can't go on like this, I can't find the artifact alone, I hope to borrow your spell."
The emperor tried to make a request.
The monks discussed with each other for a short time, and their voices did not change significantly, and it was evident that they did not hide their thoughts.
"I have to go with you about this matter, I have some clues, but I want to ask, can the tower still provide a place for these people to take refuge?"
The result of the discussion was, of course, the strongest Hades Tribulation, but he also asked Huang Taiyi such a question.
"The tower is now in a state of stubborn defense, there is no way to let people outside, even I am trapped outside, not to mention that there are too many zombies gathered along the way, I don't think it can be done."
The emperor thought about whether to say something to comfort them, but felt that these people were strong tough guys, and they shouldn't need verbal comfort.
"I see, do you all understand? Now the only remaining people of our sect are holding on to the tower, and although they have been defeated, they have not been given up and are still trying to live. ”
The Underworld glanced back at the other monks, as well as the civilians in the corner who didn't dare to approach.
What does this imply?
"Got it! Now is the time for us to step up, and it is also the glory of our waiting! ”
The monks immediately nodded in agreement, and the one at the head spoke quite impassionedly.
I don't understand, what is the code?
"Without further ado, shall we leave now?"
The Underworld stood up and waited for Huang Taiyi's order, already seeing himself as a subordinate.
"The sooner the better, then please advise."
Huang Taiyi felt that this trip was not in vain, and he finally had a reliable teammate, and he really couldn't do it alone.
"Understood."
The Underworld didn't bring any supplies with him, so he got up and left.
The rest of the monks did not get up, but sat upright in their place, their faces **.
The civilians didn't seem to be as decadent as they were just now, and there was suddenly a sense of responsibility in their eyes.
I still don't understand.
Forget it, if you don't understand, you can't help it.
"What is your opinion on this spell?"
As soon as Huang Taiyi walked out of the shelter, he first looked around the area, it was not bad, no zombies came out, and he was able to slowly discuss the battle plan.
"I know of several locations where ritual artifacts were set up in the past, all of which were selected after repeated calculations, and I think these locations should be prioritized."
The information mastered by the Underworld Tribulation was far from being known to the extent that Emperor Taiyi could know, and he could see the difference between high and low at once.
Obviously, there are also guards on the other side of the tower, why hasn't anyone put forward this opinion? Or do you really don't know? It's weird.
"Isn't it clear to anyone else?"
"There are a lot of people who concentrate on cultivation, and the people we stationed at the border know better."
As soon as the underworld said this, the emperor immediately understood.
The border is the area where the zombies first invaded, and the survivors were almost impossible to find, and there may not be many professionals among the survivors.
"Then we'll run a little more, is it safe for them to hide here?"
Huang Taiyi just asked in passing.
"Their sacrifice will be worth it."
The face of the Underworld is clouded.
"What do you say? Well? Feed...... Could it be ...... Wait a minute! ”
With a wave of his hand, the Emperor pushed away the catastrophe and almost crashed headlong into the shelter.
The sight received by the retina is a corpse all over the ground.
There are no signs of struggle, but most of the dead will not be very peaceful.
The civilians must have eaten some kind of poison, and black liquid was flowing from their mouths.
The monks who stayed behind detonated the mana in their bodies in a manner similar to that of self-menopausality, and sat motionless on their knees, like Buddha statues in the temple.
Just died.
It didn't take more than two minutes to turn around and it turned like this.
It doesn't feel pathetic, it's even a bit of black humor.
Inexplicably there must be a limit!
"Hey! What's going on! ”
Huang Taiyi's mood was very stable, but he was shocked at first, and he didn't feel too much anger and puzzlement.
There is even a vague feeling of "that's it, I just want to hear what you have to say".
"Because no matter how high or low the mana is, my sect has the heart of a strong man."
The Underworld followed from behind.
"The heart of the strong?"
"That's right, since your own existence will become an unstable factor, then of course you shouldn't live cowardly, I don't have anyone to protect now, and then I can give this life for more living people, there is no way back to have the strength to open up a way of life, that's all."
The Underworld has already realized that it is a death.
Other monks and laymen had the same realization.
"This ......"
Huang Taiyi was like a punch in the air, as if he was left with no consciousness left, which was very embarrassing.
It is really very amazing and very appalling that the commoners and the monks did not seem to have been coerced by anyone to do such a thing.
But is that really the consciousness that needs to exist? There is nothing wrong with not being afraid of death and being a hero......
Maybe it's because he's not a real hero, so he can't understand it.
I don't know what really effective ways to pray.
The emperor clasped her hands together and silently bowed her head to pay their respects to them.
Strength, as expected, does not mean strength.
