(97) Did you know? Mao Yu is someone who hurts!
"Ahh It was amazing that a huge light suddenly rose and all the undead were reduced to ashes in front of this light! ”
"Thou art the light of judgment, the light of judgment, the light of judgment, and all the filth of sin will be judged by your three lights!"
"The spirits of the dead are fundamentally vulnerable, because we have the great light, and under the protection of the light we will be invincible."
The news of what had happened in the border fortress soon reached Bologna, from the noble lords to the common people, and everyone knew that 'the great light had come again, sweeping away the army of tens of thousands of undead'.
All of them were very excited, especially the refugees who had fled, and the Great Light of Bologna had shown them by a miracle that they had sheltered the territory of Bologna, which was more reassuring to the refugees than the armies of the Frankish kingdom.
Dio looked at the hot-headed Alliance Lords in the conference room with a smile on his face, and he suddenly felt that these people were too interesting.
When he went to great lengths to form the initial alliance, many of these franchise lords, except for a few visionaries and people with ulterior motives, were disapproving, and they themselves used huge financial resources and pies to gather this person's army.
They are reluctant to fight against powerful undead monsters, because they know that after the outer noble territory of the Frankish Kingdom was beaten to ruins, there are many lords who have the intention of retreating, and in order to consolidate the position of these people, Dio can be said to have used all kinds of means.
As a result, when they knew that the undead were vulnerable to the Great Light, the usually most cowardly lord became a warrior.
Dio can't tell them that the Great Light wasn't something you could rely on in the first place, and she's missing now, right?
The young lord made a bet that if he revealed the truth, the unbreakable alliance would crumble overnight.
After the **** and generals of the Frankish kingdom learned what was happening in the border fortress, they immediately announced that they would join the alliance in the name of the Frankish kingdom, becoming the first national power to join the alliance, and then they asked themselves to send troops every day.
Because the king of the Franks has died in battle, Joseph Bonaparte can now be in charge of the country as a ****, and this guy even told him privately that if the alliance is willing to send troops to sweep away the undead, then he will give the Hearn family the title of Duke of France.
It's not that Dio is unwilling to send troops, if he had received this request before, he would have killed it a long time ago, but now...... Lead a group of blindly optimistic guys who don't know enough about the cruelty of this war to repeat the tragedy of the annihilation of the army?
Fortunately, Belisarius was as conscious as he was, and neither of the two men of the Alliance Legion who could give the order to the battle had their heads burned.
Reasonable people can see that although the Frankish kingdom was defeated in the end, their defeat was also more brilliant than the victory of the border fortress, and it can be seen from the records brought by the commander of the Marmont Legion that the Franks wiped out at least more than 200,000 undead in a few months of battle, but such a powerful army still ended up in a defeat, how strong are the undead who can defeat the Franks? How exactly should that kind of flying army respond? Do the undead have any other hole cards?
'The Frankish kingdom will fail because they have no great light, and we who have the protection of the great light will win!' ’
The defeat of the Frankish kingdom not only did not make these people cautious, but it was like a shot in the arm for them, they discussed the miracle of the Great Light, as if the fruits of victory were within reach, but in fact they did not know what the Great Light was.
Just when Dio was having a headache because of various things, a small figure flashed in the backyard of Hearn Manor, this figure carried a stone and quickly ran to the bottom of the wall, and under the corner of the wall there was already a stack of stones like a staircase, it seemed that she wanted to climb out of the wall from here, but this figure was not tall, and she had to move bricks for a long time to get herself over the wall.
This persevering child is Marisa, after discovering that Dongdong has not returned, the girl persists in wanting to return to the border fortress, she wants to find Dongdong, but how could Dio let her go to the fortress that has become the forefront of the war?
After trying to slip through the main entrance several times only to be caught by the guards, Marisa began to change her strategy, and if she couldn't get through the door, she would climb over the wall!
"Damn! Why is this wall so high and so strong? When my magic becomes stronger, I'll smash this broken wall! ”
Marisa, who has temporarily transitioned from a magical girl to a brick-mover, has begun to take revenge on the wall that prevents her from finding Dongdong.
"Marisa, what were you talking about? This is my wall, and if you blow it up, you'll have to pay for it. ”
Marisa was startled when she heard the voice, and she thought it was someone who was going to arrest her back, but she turned her head and saw Merry.
Miss Maellubelle Hearn was dressed as a commoner child, her trademark gorgeous blonde hair was wrapped in her head, she was carrying a bulging duffel bag behind her back, and she was carrying a rock in her hand, which at first glance knew that she was a co-worker.
Compared to Marisa, who ******** wants to go out, the clever Melly has made a lot of preparations, because it will be a long trip.
"My brother really went too far this time! I didn't even tell me what was going on at the border fortress, and when I asked him last time yesterday, he even lied that Dongdong had already lived in that place - did he treat me like a three-year-old? ”
One of the reasons why Dio was upset was that Melly had been knocking on Dongdong from him for the past few days, and even used the trick of coquettishness, but it wasn't that Dio didn't want to say it, but he really didn't have the courage to tell her about Dongdong.
The more Melly asked, the more it proved that Dong Dong had more weight in her heart, not only to block the news but also to keep Melly from being sad, and Dio would never tell her about the death of all the rescue team members in the fortress......
With the exception of the guards who had taken Marisa away earlier, the members of the rescue team who remained in the fortress were found with only scraps of flesh and bones all that remained, and the undertakers couldn't even identify the dead, and Knock Knock was likely inside the pile of minced meat.
Ning Yi and Morgan already knew about the situation, but they were all unusually calm, which made Dior breathe a sigh of relief.
Melly doesn't understand the horror of the truth, so she doesn't understand her brother's painstaking efforts, she only knows that her brother lied to her, and the little girl is very angry!
The team was expanded to two people, but the fence was so high that the two children could not go up until they could find enough suitable stones, but there were not many stones in the backyard that they could use to step on their feet and move.
"Or else? Marisa, you step on my shoulder and go up first, and when you get to the wall, how about you pull me up? ”
Melly thought for a while and said, this method of being completely insulated from the eldest lady's upbringing should have been thought of first by Marisa, who was born in the countryside, but she only had stones and walls in her head, which showed that Marisa's 'improvisation' was completely inferior to Melly.
Outside the wall, there was a group of children playing, and suddenly one of them pointed to the wall with a surprised face and shouted at his companions.
"Look! Look! A head! There's a head on the wall! How can there be such a tall person? Giants? ”
"See! See! There really is a head! It's scary! It can't be a man-eating giant, right? Let's hurry up, shall we? ”
The head that slowly appeared on the wall was of course Marisa's, and Melly was blushing to stand up under her, which was not an easy task for the pampered eldest lady, and she felt the stone on her feet shaking.
Marisa felt the shaking under her feet, and she knew that Merry might not be able to hold on, so she grabbed the wall with both hands, and with the joint efforts of the two of them, the wall was about to be overcome, and a flying stone hit Marisa's head.
The already unsteady ladder collapses, and Melly and Marisa fall backwards together, seemingly hearing someone yelling.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! Eren will protect everyone! Abominable giants! Eren is going to defeat you! Eren is going to defeat all the giants! ”
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...... Guys out there! You're all waiting for me! By the one who threw the stones! I'm going to beat you up! ”
Melly's eyes were full of stars, but Marisa, who had fallen from more places, was already holding her head in high spirits and began to roar.
The urchins outside the wall, who were only four or five years old, immediately swarmed away when they heard Marisa's menacing threat.
After yelling to vent her frustration, Marisa turned back to Melly, who had fallen to the ground and had not yet risen.
"Melly, shall we do it again? This time you stepped on my shoulder...... Melly? Melly, what's wrong with you? You okay? ”
Marisa saw Melly clutching her forearms and tears streaming down her face, and the eldest lady's whole body was trembling.
"Marisa, my arm...... Hurt. It seems to be ...... Broken...... Whining...... Looks like I can't go with you to Knock Knock. ”
Melly meant to let Marisa find a way to go out to find Dongdong alone, but Marisa would not leave Melly alone, she took Melly, who was sobbing non-stop, to return to the mansion for help, and was locked in the room after being scolded.
After the two children were already 'lively' enough to add a bit of chaos, that night, there were suspicious people in the back garden.
The hideous scar on his face revealed the identity of this person, this guy is Morgan, he is now dressed as a Bologna guard, but this dress is very ill-fitting, I think it should have been stolen or robbed, he sneakily came to the wall with a hook and lock.
During the day, the wall that made the two little girls' plans to get out of the city could not stop the former pirate leader at all, you must know that when the pirates attacked the big ship with a small boat, they had to brave the bows of the guards to climb the smooth hull of the ship at least four meters high, and Morgan at that time was the first to board the ship to rob in order to satisfy his greed, and the walls of the lord's palace were useless in front of him.
"I advise you not to do that, Morgan...... You should know that very well, right? Even if you go out, it's hard to find Dongdong. ”
Just as Morgan was about to start climbing over the wall, Ning Yi walked out of the forest behind him in full armor, walking as he went.
"Is that you? Are you here to persuade me to go back? I'm sorry...... I couldn't do that, I should have gone with her at that time. ”
Morgan's tone was completely different from his usual tone, not irritable or worried, but with an ominous politeness and amiability.
"Are you so sure Knock Knock is still alive? When Dio said this, the anger and worry on his face were visceral. ”
Ning Yi did not hesitate to uncover Morgan's scar, and his indifferent tone made the pirate leader's breathing shorten for a moment, but he quickly restrained his emotions and said to Ning Yi in a serious tone.
"I'm not sure she's alive, I'm just believing she can live...... Just like she was convinced that I could live. ”
It was in the backyard of this lord's mansion that the pirate who was secretly thrown in to wait for death was rescued by a stupid girl who got lost here.
She patiently took care of this waste man, not only healing his hands and feet, but also making his eyes see again... Light...
Knock died once in front of Morgan, and when her body lost its last shred of warmth, the pirate leader stood by the side.
But just as Morgan was desperate and ready to fight to the death, the girl came back to him alive.
Although he often cursed gods who didn't know if they existed, Morgan always felt that Dongdong was indeed a 'great light'.
She is a bright light, shattering the boundaries between life and death, shattering the cage created by the plague, shattering the despair shrouded in people's hearts, shattering the worldview that Morgan has always adhered to, and Knock is the greatest treasure he has ever seen.
The Light of Damnation? The Light of Judgment? The Light of Judgment? Those who do not call the so-called names have never had anything to do with Dong Dong, but are just a whitewash made by some fanatical clergy and believers on their own imagination.
If Dong Dong is really the light of heaven's damnation, then he will definitely be the first to be judged with his evil and blood debts.
Those lords who are dignified on the scene, but usually do a lot of evil, cannot escape the judgment and punishment of the so-called light of damnation.
Although the 'Great Light' may seem weak on the outside, Morgan is convinced that it is indestructible.
"Alright! I didn't expect you to be quite persistent...... Then I'll tell you. ”
Ning Yi sighed, and then said to Morgan.
"Knock Knock is still alive, I can know this for some reason, and now she is most likely in the hands of the undead."
After hearing Ning Yi's words, Morgan was a little incredulous.
"You...... How can you know about such a thing? How did you do it? ”
"Ahh It's all said to be personal privacy...... All you need to know is that Dongdong is still alive. ”
The bracelet made of the hair that the little guy carries at any time is mixed with Sakurako's hair, and Sakurako, who is a demon saint, doesn't know where she learned a change technique similar to that of a legendary demon sage, and a hair also contains the power that can be changed.
Sakurako gave three hairs to the boss of the spy company for self-defense, but one of them fell into Dongdong's hand, and this hair was braided into a bracelet that could protect her by Dongdong's mother, and it also made Dongdong carry another obvious and unique enough mark, Ning Yi carried a prop that could locate Dongdong when he came to this world, and this prop was only recently recovered.
"Morgan, listen to me, the best way to find Dongdong now is to let the alliance army dispatch, if she is really caught by the undead, then there is no way to snatch her back with the power of one person, if she is just where she is, you can also use the power of the alliance army to find her."
Ning Yi's words made Morgan fall into deep thought, and then nodded happily.
"You convinced me. I'll help that lord kid and use the soldiers in his hands to find Dongdong. ”
Ning Yi persuaded the pirate leader to leave here, but the corners of Ning Yi's mouth did not leave, or he was the one who really planned to leave, this guy was fully armed and had all the things he traveled with.
"Miss Acelia, don't hide anymore."
The mercenary said to the girl hiding in the shadows, the ghost swordsman can avoid the vigilance of the pirate leader, but he can't hide the keen perception of the gunman, Ning Yi noticed her existence from the beginning, but he never said it.
After her whereabouts were revealed, Ethelia walked out of hiding, staring at Ning Yi with great seriousness.
"You're such a strange guy, obviously you don't have any strange power on your body, but you can see through the ghost swordsman's escape technique."
"Hey! Recently, there have been more and more children with messy powers, and I'm an 'old guy' who can't learn those things, and the only thing I'm good at is using guns, and if I can't even play the only thing I'm good at, I'll be dead a long time ago. ”
Ning Yi took Acelia's words as a compliment, but the white-haired girl was actually just curious about his details.
"Dio asked me to stay here and persuade you and Morgan to go back, and you saved me half of my workload."
Acelia calmly said her intentions, but her hand kept on the hilt of the sword, she always felt that Ning Yi was very dangerous, obviously she looked like a sloppy young man, but when she was close to him, she always had a bad feeling that she had been targeted, but in terms of the information she had gathered, this Ning Yi did not seem to be dangerous.
"Then Miss Acelia go back and tell Dio that you're only half done."
Ning Yi spread his hands with an expression of 'this has nothing to do with me'.
"I'm a spy, you may not know the difference between a spy and a mercenary, in short, ......"
"Keeping a spy close to you is a very stupid thing to do to your enemies and friends."
“…… I'll tell him what you mean, so let's go. ”
Exelia was reluctant to clash with Ning Yi, and the guy said that he was able to gather information even when he wasn't in the Lord's Mansion.
In the end, the girl chose to give way.
On the sixth day after Ning Yi's departure, the army gathered in Bologna finally moved.
