Chapter 49: After the war

The pitch-black flames eventually burned out.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing up ashes that fluttered like snowflakes in the sky. The blackened bones underneath were revealed.

For a long time, the wind breathes, and settles.

On the chaotic battlefield, among the dry bones and remains that covered the ground, a pale blue figure slowly revealed.

I saw sweat on its forehead, and it stood in place trembling slightly, like a statue standing in eternity.

It is none other than Zheng Ming. As the strange state that I had entered disappeared, the countless emotions that had been suppressed before erupted in my heart like a volcanic eruption. Complex emotions and pain all over the body rushed to my mind together, like a tidal wave, and one wave was better than another.

It looked around at the silent battlefield, couldn't help but feel sad, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas~. Why bother? Very few goblins have died at my hands, and most have died at the hands of my own people. The young people in this village are almost dead. ”

Just as it whispered a sigh, the figures of goblins appeared in view. Under the leadership of Siscoute, these old, weak, sick and disabled people who had been hiding in the house gathered together and slowly approached its direction.

Under the previous bitter battle and the side effects of the strange state, Zheng Ming at this time can really be said to be the end of the strong crossbow. When he saw the black goblins walking towards him, his expression sank, and his heart sank.

"What do they want to do? In a hurry to die? I haven't settled accounts with them yet, but they have come first. ”

Zheng Ming thought like this, and a sneer appeared on his face. Even if it falls to level 22 due to excessive energy use, it is not something that these old, weak, sick and disabled people can shake!

The distance between the two sides is getting shorter and closer. Soon, the goblins, made up of old and weak children and the sick, rushed to it.

It looked at them indifferently, its eyes flashing with coldness, and just as it was about to enter the next stage of the fight, Ciscout, who was leading the way, suddenly fell to its knees.

"Please have mercy and spare my life. We will die with us. ”

With his shout, the goblins behind him fell to their knees. Under the unreserved bowing, a dull crash sound came one after another, and a thick layer of ash stood on their foreheads, which was very conspicuous mixed with blood.

"Please have mercy and spare my life. We will die with us. ”

"Please have mercy and spare my life. We will die with us. ”

…………

The cries of begging for mercy gradually merged together and spread all around.

Looking at the goblins who knelt down in front of him and spared no effort to prostrate, Zheng Ming's heart was shaken. It looked at the front, and the polite Sikoute spoke slowly.

"I remember you. Are you that reserve priest? ”

"Yes, sir. Exactly the villain. ”

Seeing that the goblins below were still kneeling down, and some frail old men and young children fainted in place because they were too hard, Zheng Ming frowned and shouted, "Okay." It's all gone. Rise up also and speak. ”

Zheng Ming's shout spread far away and penetrated into the ears of the goblins, and they all stopped kowtowing, but they didn't dare to stand up. Just knelt in place and silently looked at the front of the company.

"Thank you, sir. What are you doing in a daze? Didn't you hear your orders? Let's go back to the house and wait. ”

With Ciscout's permission, the goblins breathed a sigh of relief. They staggered to their feet, their faces numb and scattered.

Seeing that the goblin villagers dispersed separately, and only Sikoute was left in the field, Zheng Ming looked at him who was still kneeling in place with an expressionless face.

"You're smart. knows how to take the old, weak, sick and disabled to win sympathy and save their own lives. ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's words, Sikowut suddenly showed a panicked look, he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said respectfully: "Don't dare." Now that we have been defeated, our lives are in your hands. If you want to kill or chop, you will listen to it, and the villain will not dare to have the slightest complaint....... ”

Just as Cisco Ute was talking, Zheng Ming frowned and interrupted him.

"Come and talk."

Sikowut didn't dare to get up, and after hearing Zheng Ming's words, he landed on his knees and climbed forward a few steps.

"Come over again."

"Yes. My lord. ”

Ciscoute replied respectfully with his forehead touching the ground, and climbed forward a few steps with his hands and feet together.

"How many more times do I have to say that? Closer! ”

The impatient voice came, and Siscoute didn't even dare to look at the other party's suddenly gloomy face, he hurriedly crawled in front of Zheng Ming.

At this time, the distance between the two was less than one step, and the two sides could even touch each other when they stretched out their hands. But Sikout saw sweat on his forehead, and his face was full of anxiety and fear, and he did not dare to look upward.

"Continuing with the previous topic. Go ahead. And then there's a 'but', right? I'm waiting for you to convince me to spare your life. ”

Zheng Ming's indifferent voice came, Sikout's body trembled, he quickly slapped himself hard, and after calming down his violent trembling mood due to fear, he said respectfully.

"Your Excellency is wise. Adult Mingjian. The villain, as the reserve priest of the village, knows the village inside and out. I learned most of the inheritance from the priests, and I thought it was still useful. As long as the adult spares the villain's life, the villain will definitely follow the work of dogs and horses and relieve the adult's worries. ”

Speaking of this, Siscoute hesitated for a moment and continued: "There was also the siege before to drive away Lord Lucy, and the villain did not participate. Never hurt that adult. ”

"What? You repeat? ”

Zheng Ming's exclamation frightened Ciscoute, and he thought secretly in his heart and quickly understood the key.

"Returning to your lordship. The villain did not hurt Lord Lucy in the slightest, and Lord Lucy did not die. It was only wounded and chased away. ”

"Not dead? Not dead! Good. Good. All right! ”

Zheng Ming, who originally thought that Lucy had been killed, was overjoyed after hearing Sikout's narration. But it soon became suspicious again.

"Since Lucy isn't dead, why don't you tell the truth? Just because Lucy was injured, she didn't stop fighting with me? You think I'm going to be sorry for you just because Lucy got some minor injuries? ”

Zheng Ming asked like this, but secretly added in his heart, "You really guessed right." But if I knew that Lucy wasn't dead, I wouldn't fight you to the death, but slowly waited for an opportunity to take revenge. ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's words, Sikowut showed a wry smile, and he said astringently: "Being blinded by treasures, ghosts and minds are one thing. More because of fear. After all, the strong never reason with the weak. That's why the priest decided to hide it and then strike first. ”

"Oh, I see. Doesn't you seem to be like any other goblin? Special time for you and Sabidulia. Compared to the rest of the sluggish, stupid goblins, you seem to be too smart. ”

"Your Excellency is really careful. Actually, it's a result of the inheritance we have, and we are the oldest group in the nearby goblin villages, despite the fact that we are now cowering in this village. What we learn determines the way we think, which is why we are so different from those goblins. ”

The information carried in Sikeut's words made Zheng Ming interested. It had previously felt that Sabidulia and Scoute, both in their conversation and scheming, were out of step with the goblins around them. Compared to those stupid goblins who seem to be cunning but are easy to see through, they can be called a truly intelligent race.

"Oh? Let's take it into detail. I'm interested in what you said earlier. ”

"It's my lord. Here's the thing......"

So in the ashes of the ruins, on the wreckage and dry bones everywhere, two figures, one standing and one kneeling, talked carefully.
