Chapter 255: The Price of Childishness
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. —Hebrews 11:1
◇
While responding to Su Meng's words, everything in front of him changed, and the words on the city wall emitted dazzling golden light.
The surrounding night scene and street lamps suddenly changed as if they were twisted and churned, the air took on a dry color, the heavy heat pierced the skin, and the movement became more and more sluggish, like the words on the wall swallowing them.
The scorching sun, the yellow sand, and the white bricks and tiles of the hills reflect the midday sun.
His breath was mixed with the solid gravel, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and pressed his chest, and Wen Cheng was in a trance by the new vision and heat.
I've had a similar experience in Laoheshan before, but I haven't felt like I've even been pumped in my whole body.
It's like being put in the oven.
When I was dizzy, I couldn't tell which direction the sun was deflecting, but my sense of hearing began to slowly recover.
Yellow sand and a rough sense of oppression.
Where is this?
Judging from the endless sea of sand behind him, he didn't fall into a closed barrier.
But where does this repression come from?
Before turning his head and being surprised, Wen Cheng instinctively shook his body and noticed the breath of Luo Lan behind him.
But the weight on her body was getting lighter and lighter, and Lorrain no longer had the strength to respond to him, and even her body began to degenerate into ceramic.
Su Meng tried to put it on Luo Lan's forehead and handed her some magic sources, but he couldn't stop the decline.
Lolan?!
Wen Cheng couldn't believe that his newly recognized comrades-in-arms were on the verge of disappearing. But the situation was so serious that he didn't have time to feel sad about it.
Because.
Carrying a doll on his back, he and his fiancée are facing an army in the desert.
The formation was already set up in front of the three of them.
Hundreds of military formations lined up, the center of the battle array was dressed in blue cloth robes and chain mail, pot helmets and nose guards, chest and banner were five gold cross coats of arms (one large in the center, four crosses in each quadrant), the soldiers on the left side of the battle array wore red cross robes on a white background, and the right battle array was a white cross on a black background.
The left, center, and right armies consisted of 400 knights, 2,500 cavalry, 500 knights, 5,000 cavalry in the center, and archers and spearmen in the rear, totaling 8,000 infantry.
Wen Cheng suddenly stopped breathing, because judging from the huge golden cross in front of him, there was no doubt that we had come to the desert in the midsummer of 1187.
Unlike history, they have already taken a position!
Wen Cheng looked back, it stands to reason that there should be cavalry with equal strength on the other side.
But the eyeballs found nothing but the vast Hanhai.
It's a bad feeling!
In other words: Meng'er and I are their targets!
On the other side, in the front are the former regent Raymond, the vanguard Renard, and the Chinese army Humphrey, on the right is the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller, Roger de Moulin, on the left, the Grand Master of the Temple, Otto de Arman, and Gerald as the deputy, and Bishop Ake stands under the true cross.
To be precise, this is the soul of the two battles of Springwater Valley and Harding.
However, Guy was not among them, and in his place was the true master of the army.
Before the cross, Balian of Ibeline guarded a young man with a golden crown.
Under the powerful golden light, he was not tall, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with short golden hair and pupils, and under the eyes were obscured by a mask.
Baldwin IV appeared before him in his most glorious form.
◇
Regardless, we're all drawn into a murderous enchantment.
About 20,000 soldiers and horses, more than 1,000 heavy cavalry, and 10,000 light cavalry.
What's even more terrifying is that unlike the 400,000 unjust souls that Zhao Kuo was coerced, these soldiers are all entities!
With the power of Rune and the Drum Tower, all the killing intent was bloomed a hundred times by one of the heroic spirits!
It is unknown which one it is, or if it is more than one Heroic Spirit!
All in all, the current situation can no longer be described as not optimistic.
Two against 20,000 people.
Unexpectedly, Wen Cheng's reaction to this.
"Meng'er, you wait here first."
"Wen Cheng?"
Wen Cheng put Luo Lan down and walked leisurely towards the enemy who was waiting for him.
The regent Raymond also approached proudly on his war horse as if he had made an appointment in advance.
In the yellow sand, the frail boy confronted the knight in armor.
However, when he quietly called out Ning Zhi and pinned it behind him, and when he saw the afterimage of Raymond's tall body flashing back and forth, Wen Cheng already had an answer.
But even the representative who drove it couldn't stop this aura that was no less than that of a mid-level heroic spirit.
Fortunately, out of some kind of similarity, the Apprentice of Light and the Knight of the Light observed the corresponding etiquette.
Wen Cheng spoke first, but said something that didn't fit the atmosphere.
"Are you hot?"
Raymond asked nervously,
"You are Gu Wencheng? I have been waiting for you here for a long time at the behest of my master. ”
"Who is your master?"
Who would have to go through such a big deal?
"Why did you kill me?"
Raymond didn't answer. And Wen Cheng has already deduced that it is almost there.
In fact, the scope has narrowed down a lot, and I can expect that among the people I returned to the committee from Shirley's house, there were three groups of people corresponding to three possibilities.
1. The members of the Shinnokumi collaborate with the enemy.
2. Supporting the Soviet Union and collaborating with the enemy.
3. Shirley collaborates with the enemy.
Moreover, this enemy will be Rune Magic!
You see, it's a pity that Raymond betrayed his master in just one sentence.
"Hey......" Wen Cheng pretended to shrug his shoulders lightly, "Among the people who want to kill me, this is the strongest I have ever met." ”
It's really infuriating, because ......
So far, all kinds of magical unfolding, just I want to find a chief engineer!
"But as a believer in the kingdom of heaven," Raymond said, raising his knight's spear, "I will allow you to be restored to full condition before you receive your death." ”
Is this going to let me out? Wen Cheng looked at Raymond like this.
But in the next moment, Raymond suddenly raised his spear high. A shocking scene happened.
The golden cross in the military formation suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a laser shot at Wen Cheng's forehead.
Wen Cheng, who closed his eyes, estimated the extent of his recovery from his injuries in a ray of light, and began to organize his chaotic breathing.
It was quickly recovered, everything was as good as ever, the back pain and sore limbs were gone!
At least one or two enemies can attack, and it doesn't matter if you run away physically...... But the enemy is cavalry.
Despite this, a more fatal problem arises.
When he came to his senses, Raymond was back in the formation eight hundred meters away.
The golden light in the sea of sand shimmered. With the dissipation of golden light, the enemy began to unfold the array.
If shouting or vows is to boost morale, then stomping or slapping a shield is a shock to the heart of Moon-seung.
Boom boom. In the distant battle formation, the shield soldiers gave way to the heavy knights, and the knights formed small three-by-three shock formations in groups of nine, and then began to start with the sound of horns. After a large sit-up acceleration, the knight's spear was pressed down.
The resonance that shook the world and the flag was displayed.
I still don't fully understand what it would be like to die like this in the enchantment, but four words suddenly flashed through my mind.
Are you really going to die here? Wen Cheng asked himself so quietly, but no one answered.
No matter what happened, could I just cope with this thin body?
Or is it my faith?
For Yoo Jin's belief in unifying the global magical world, and against the obsession of a heavenly dynasty.
For Wen Cheng, this is just another repetition of what he said in his heart, and he doesn't even understand the meaning of such an countless repetition.
To make matters worse, things get more chaotic with each repetition.
On the contrary, whenever there is a question of the faith, things become simple and smooth.
What is all this for?
…… Finally...... How to end this nightmare!
Everything couldn't be more real, because of the yellow sand that keeps entering the lungs, and the roar that comes into the ears.
This is...... War......
A group of knights hundreds of meters apart charged......
Just to kill me, but what did I do to make so many people hate me? Is it just because of this ambition?
Whether or not you can face this overwhelming knight and launch a counterattack is the difference between life and death, but it would be better if you gave me a few more minutes, at least let Lorrain go back.
An unsolvable military formation.
Meng'er ......
Wen Cheng reluctantly glanced at his fiancée, and then turned his head mockingly.
Ha.
What a childish obsession, but I have repeatedly chosen to believe.
So, Liu Zhen, this is the childish price I paid for you.
The so-called faith is probably something that death does not want to change.
In front of the rumbling war drums and the approaching cavalry guns, Wen Cheng closed his eyes.
"Hey, forgot your trump card?"
A red light flashed, and the sweaty BMW hissed.
