Chapter 20 The Rising Flame is a Hymn to the Soul
Leo once felt that he might have taken the wrong script, and said that he would beat the heavens and all worlds, marry Bai Fumei and go to the pinnacle of life?
On the first day of crossing, I was almost hung with sausages, and then I kept there
Assassinated,
Assassinated,
Mine stolen by someone,
Now, finally, before the technology is finished, someone has hit the hometown.
The surging beasts appeared on the side of Drifting Snow City like a black tide, and the city gate was still being repaired, only simple earthen walls and fences, once it was attacked, it was unimaginable.
Guessing that it was almost time, after confirming the teacher's gaze, Herman gestured, and a torch was thrown from the city, and with the muffled sound of falling water, the flames ignited and drew a perfect arc to encircle the weak point of Drifting Snow City.
After the incident in Blackstone Town, Leo is not without reflection, when it comes to medieval towns, you must think of the moat around the solemn city wall, and the moat is of course also in this world, but in the northern zone it is a very stupid idea, after all, the water will freeze, and the sinking pit is not very useful in the defense of the town, but what about adding fire oil?
Oil can burn even on the surface of water, and pouring oil on frozen ice can minimize the loss of oil from the soil, and the melted ice will not freeze for a short time after burning and can keep the enemy out.
The beast tentatively sent two or three wild wolves, but they could not get past the flames at all, perhaps because of the flammability of the parasites, the moment they touched the flames, they began to burn wildly, and in an instant they sank to the bottom of the water.
Burning arrows were fired from the walls, mixed with explosive arrows strapped to gunpowder, and the flames continued to lure the beasts away from the weakly defended walls.
Beasts are afraid of fire, and even if they are parasitized, this fear engraved in their genes will not be erased, not to mention that the parasites are also flammable, and the herd has to turn to the main entrance area that has been laid out for defense.
The main gate area has pine town as a buffer, and there is a large platform above the city gate where archers can be arranged, which is one of the reasons why the four great families chose to meet the enemy at the main gate in the first place.
The herd was driven away until they all poured into Pinewood, where some of the inhabitants of Pinewood had guessed what was crying in a low voice, and now they were about to lose their homes, and some even began to riot and try to stop the soldiers.
Pine Town is the first place where he came to this northern land, it can be said that the dream began, and it is his earliest supporter, even if the beasts are about to rush to the city gate, even if he can forcibly suppress it, he is unwilling to do so.
"Ladies and gentlemen........"
As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted, and the anger of the crowd became more serious than he thought, so that not to mention the enemy, there might be internal chaos in the first place.
"Don't try to fool us! We won't believe your anymore! ”
"Yes, that's our home! You can't do that! ”
The townspeople were woken up overnight and left their homes, and many of them didn't even bring anything with them, and once one person got up, I was afraid it would be difficult to hold it down.
Leo looked at the crying, angry, and chaotic people, and took a long breath, and Mu Feng handed over the amplification stone at the right time.
"You're right..."
Everyone was stunned, shouldn't they be convinced?
"So why are we standing here? Listen well!! ”
"At this moment, the townsfolk outside are looking at us, looking at the fires, they are just as flustered! Equally worried, they are looking forward to our victory! ”
"What will they see? A routed city? Scattered people? No! ”
"What they see is a group of people who are fighting for the future and their ideals! The enemy will see our flames, our hammers! Hear our cry of courage! Our straight spine! ”
"And....our blood and tears"
"But I believe that relying on our labor and hard work, and our heart that does not give up! We can still ......"
"Ladies and gentlemen! … Ignite the flame ........."
All the commotion was silent, but the vast city was so quiet that only the sound of burning torches and the roars of wild beasts outside could be heard.
I don't know who made the first start.......
"Light the flame...!"
"Light the flame...!"
"Light it!"
"Victory is with us!"
"Singing the Glory of Iron!!!
The shouts came and went, and the people who had been weeping just now raised their torches, climbed to the top of the city, and threw them with all their strength into the ditch in front of the city gate.
"We will get everything back ......."
As the words fell, the flames rushed down the ditch towards the town of Pines, an unprecedented roar, a splash of sparks, like the sword of the Flame Giant that brought the twilight to sweep towards the surging beasts.
The light of the fire shines on everyone's face and in everyone's heart.
The tide of beasts in front of him turned into drifting dust, but there were still dark shadows in the distance, and there was no sign of stopping, Leo couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he didn't want to admit defeat at this time.
In the previous life, I did nothing all my life, but in this life, at least let myself be a hero, right?
Took the sword that was never used,
One-step.
Two Steps:
Three Steps...
Slowly ascend to the highest point of the city wall.
Drawing his sword out of its sheath and pointing at the herd of beasts surging in the distance, Fran didn't know when he came behind him, smiling and standing at his side, behind him old Barrow, Bell, Ral, his four disciples, none of them escaped and accompanied him.
…….
Why are humans always so stupid? Always singing the praises of ethereal ideals, after all, nothing can be brought, nothing can be saved, she was once a human being, she deeply thought so.
But why? What is this feeling in the chest that seems to burn everything?
Yourself, you can't make a move, the other party and yourself are very damaged, so you will use this boring means to test the other party's bottom line, whoever shoots first will inevitably usher in failure.
The girl stood on top of the bell tower, her golden vertical pupils were constricted, her body trembled, black scales kept appearing on the surface of her body, she was afraid of death, she had lived for a long time, the longer she lived, the more she was afraid of death, what reason did she have for this group of humans who would only keep making mistakes.
As if answering her question, Leo began to talk to himself.
"Sure enough....I don't need a reason.,A reason or something.,After all, I can't get enough of wanting to do these two words"
The long sword in his hand was raised even higher, pointing at the sky in the distance.
Everyone in the city was praying, praying for a miracle, and it was clear that the Land of Iron was a non-sectarian country, but at this moment everyone was praying, praying for an impossible miracle.
The wind stopped for a moment, and everything seemed to stop at this moment.
A huge figure that covered the sky appeared in the sky above Drifting Snow City, waving its wings as if it could cut through the sky, and the pitch-black scales reflected the fire on the ground, full of solemnity and sacredness.
"Holy Dragon! It's the Holy Dragon! ”
"Black Holy Dragon!"
Like a mythical spectacle, the black dragon galloped over the snowy land, flicking its wings to incite countless beasts, and its scorching breath turned the tide of beasts into ashes.
"I like the clothes ..... very much"
"The stuff was delicious too"
"Next time, let's go shopping together!"
"Thank you"
A soft voice sounded in the hearts of several people in the City Lord's Mansion, and Leo and the others invariably looked up at the huge figure in the air.
"Tone ......"
