Chapter 50: Some Sins Can't Be Abridged (1)
It was getting dark.
The earth-shattering shouts gradually became quieter, and the human soldiers and wolf cavalry in the canyon began to converge in one place.
"Roar!"
The huge elite ogre zombie is the main force in the undead army, and it is also the only undead on the battlefield that can still move.
The werewolf berserker Wharton is like the wind, turning around the zombie's feet, and every time he passes by the zombie, the sharp twin knives can leave two deep wounds on the ogre zombie's leg.
The ogre zombie roared angrily, slammed his fists into the ground, and after the loud "boom", the muddy water on the ground splashed out more than ten meters away, and it was a mess, but only Wharton was missing.
The last thing the ogre zombie saw was the oncoming giant sword light!
"Buzz!"
Caroline jumped into the air, and the long sword slashed diagonally from the bottom to the top, and a half-moon-shaped sword light instantly took shape, hitting the target! The zombie's arm and half of it were cut off by Qi Brush, and black blood splattered and fell to the ground.
Caroline let out a sigh and glanced at Wharton on her left hand as she raised her weapon.
"Won!"
I don't know who shouted, and then the overwhelming cheers were one after another, and everyone raised their weapons and shouted with all their might, and the loud echo spread far and wide in the canyon, and it lasted for a long time.
……
The setting sun was completely hidden on the side of the valley, and the dim afterglow of the setting sun gradually dimmed, revealing the starlight hidden in the sky.
The canyon was littered with corpses, most of course, of necromantic creatures.
The human troops were extremely tired after a bloody battle, and many of their weapons had been broken, but everyone's mental state was very good, and their fighting spirit was high—they participated in the battle to destroy more than 20,000 undead creatures, and they won a complete victory, and everyone couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts.
Not far from the opposite side of the human army, the tall and mighty wolf cavalry lined up neatly, all with solemn expressions, and even the steppe wolves under the cavalry seemed to realize something, and looked up at the front.
The two armies were separated by nearly a kilometer, a distance that was enough to ensure that the others could not see what was happening in between.
In the middle of the two armies, in an open space about a few tens of meters wide, several figures stood together.
Caroline's face was solemn, her hands holding her wild heart, and her green eyes were shiningly reflected by the green light emitted by the holy relic.
The werewolf shaman opposite Caroline was even more excited, and his eyes, which were already a little cloudy, revealed infinite vitality, as if he was dozens of years younger in an instant, and even his gray eyebrows were trembling slightly.
It's been a hundred years! Who would have thought that a hundred years later, today, there would still be orcs who could see this holy relic with their own eyes!
"The heart of the wild is returned to its original owner." Caroline stretched out her hands and handed out the small roots that glowed with a charming green light.
Under Wharton's breathless gaze, Shan Feng also stretched out his hands and took the wild heart steadily.
There is only a holy relic the size of a palm, and the rich life force emanating from it makes a single seal 100% certain, this is the heart of the wild!
However, the only difference from the records in the temple was that several of the roots of the Wild Heart had been broken, and the fractures were filled with a pale green liquid, exuding an enchanting fragrance.
It's normal to think about it carefully, the wild heart was stolen by someone at the beginning, and it was more than a hundred years in a flash, and some injuries were normal.
At this moment, the old shaman's hands no longer trembled, and they were surprisingly stable!
At this moment, the old werewolf burst into tears, and the tears reflected the green light that represented vitality!
"Lord Caroline, this kindness will always be remembered by the orcs!"
Shan Feng's voice trembled a little, then he knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said emotionally in a slightly stiff orc language: "Your name will forever be engraved on the hero pillar of the temple, and the gate of the orc kingdom will always be open for you!" ”
With tears in his eyes, General Wharton knelt on one knee and folded his arms in a salute to Caroline—a ritual that orcs have to face their heroes.
Seeing this scene, the wolf cavalry in the distance and the human team on the other side all became agitated.
What's going on, what are the generals on both sides doing, and how did werewolves kneel down for humans?
After all, Caroline was only a seventeen-year-old girl, who would have thought that the other party would make such a big salute to herself as a human being, she immediately stepped forward with some embarrassment and lifted up the single envelope: "Priest elder, don't do this." In fact, I didn't do anything, and I was able to successfully get the heart of the wild, in fact, it was all due to Yang Shou. ”
"Hehe, I understand,"
The old werewolf smiled and said loudly, "But without your permission, can your subordinates do this?" Lord Caroline, don't be modest~"
Caroline opened her mouth to speak, thought about it and swallowed her words back, and said in her heart that this Yang Shou, what are you doing behind your back, and I'll clean him up when I go back in a while!
Shan Feng carefully put away the Wild Heart, raised his head and said solemnly: "After this incident, if Your Excellency Carolyn has any difficulties in the Metal Empire, you can come to our Orc Kingdom at any time. You are our hero when you come here! ”
Caroline understood what the other party meant, smiled, and nodded.
The werewolf Wharton stepped forward, handed Shan an envelope a cloth bag, and explained a few words to Shan Feng in orc language.
"Time is urgent, we must send the holy relic back to the royal city as soon as possible,"
The werewolf shaman took the cloth bag and handed it to Caroline with both hands: "This is the reward that Yang Shou asked for in the letter, because of the rush of time, Lord Wharton only raised one-third of the clan for the time being, and the rest will be paid together when he sees Yang Shou next time." ”
Caroline was slightly stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously took the bag, and found that the weight of the cloth bag was amazing: what Yang Shou's letter...... Remuneration? What honorarium?
Before Caroline could say her doubts, Wharton and Shan Feng had already bowed down to say goodbye, and then hurriedly mounted the wolf and galloped towards the exit of the canyon.
Soon, the entire wolf cavalry force took action, and the steel torrent slowly turned, and in a short time, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
Caroline stood in place for a long time, looking into the distance, breathing a sigh of relief, as if she had let go of some burden, and there was a sense of relief in her eyes.
"Miss, you give them back your wild heart, how are you going to return to Your Majesty when you go back?" Jane, who was on the side, walked over and said worriedly.
"Tell the truth,"
Caroline's expression regained her composure, and she smiled, "Now the two countries are neither at war, nor are they hostile. Rushing to seize the heart of the wild is not good for the Empire of Steel, nor for the people of the empire, I think Your Majesty will understand. ”
Jian was silent when she heard this, and thought silently in her heart: Will Your Majesty understand? Mademoiselle knows Your Majesty best, do you really have this confidence?
"By the way, what about Yang Shou? Why haven't you seen him for half a day? ”
Caroline seemed to remember something, flipped the cloth bag in her hand, and said with a cold face: "What's the matter with this honorarium, did he tell you?" ”
Jian shook her head again and again, looking innocent: "No, I don't know about it, I thought he was going to find someone from the cavalry team before......"
……
Outside the White Tomb Door.
"It's all done?" Yang Shou lowered his head and wiped his sunglasses, and asked with a normal expression.
"yes, they're all in there, as you expected, Thomas does have a teleportation scroll on him, but it's ......"
The cavalry captain took out a snow-white magic scroll from his arms, handed it to Yang Shou, and said with a hesitant face: "They are tossing too happily inside, and the lord will come in a while, I'm afraid they will notice." ”
As he spoke, the cavalry captain glanced in the direction of the entrance to the tomb, where the gate was closed, but faintly heard the knocking sound of "knock" and the faint shouting from inside.
Yang Shou took the scroll, brought the scroll close to his right hand, watched the scroll turn into ashes in the flames of the sword qi, and said with a smile: "Leave the rest to me, you just remember not to leak your mouth." ”
After speaking, Yang Shou drew his broadsword, walked over with leisurely steps, and pushed open the door with one hand.
"Rush out and get out!"
"The people of Cedar Town are going to rebel!"
A hysterical roar came out in an instant, and at the same time, five or six long swords suddenly stabbed out of the crack in the door!
Yang Shou smiled, and the crimson broadsword was slashed in front of him, "Ping Pong!" There was a loud noise, and several long swords were broken.
The long swords of the guards behind the door all took off their hands, and they subconsciously took a step back, and when they saw Yang Shou, they were stunned.
Yang Shou walked into the gate and said lazily: "I won't talk nonsense, who was involved in the last time when he besieged Captain Bill at the northern outpost and kidnapped the daughter of the old Chang family?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and quickly reacted, and a tempered man rushed up with a sword: "You're sick......"
"Huh!"
In the dim light, everyone only saw a red line crossed, and the guards who rushed forward were cut in two, and blood splattered directly onto the stone beam above the passage.
This time, everyone saw clearly, the broadsword held by Yang Shou was not red, but the red was the sword qi on the sword!
"No one answered?"
Yang Shou was a little disgusted with the smell of this tomb, and frowned: "Where did Thomas go?" Surely he knows, right? ”
"This traitor, he wants to rebel!"
A hysterical roar came from behind, and Thomas dragged two guards in front of him, shouting angrily: "Kill him, hack him to death!" Whoever can kill Yang Shou will be rewarded with 100 gold coins and a knight's title! ”
100 gold! Ordinary people can't make so much money in their lifetime!
And knighthood! With it, ordinary people can have their own fiefdoms and completely get rid of the lowly status of commoners!
When the guards heard this, there was excitement in their eyes, staring at Yang Shou as if they were staring at a piece of fat, and they surrounded them one after another.
These people were originally knife licking blood-licking fanatics, almost everyone carried human life on their backs, and Thomas was collected by him with money, and there was such a good opportunity to soar into the sky, and no outlaw would miss it.
Driven by interests, these people have long left the death of their former companions behind.
"Oh, it saves me time." Yang Shou muttered in a low voice.
In the next second, the sword aura is like the wind!
"Jingle Bell!"
"Poof!"
"Woo......"
The light was a little dim and backlit, and Thomas's eyes widened, and he could barely see the figure longing, except for the crisp clash of weapons, only a few muffled grunts of pain.
But the smell of blood in the air became thicker and thicker, causing Thomas's nerves to tense and his pupils to contract.
Soon, in the light of the torches, he could see the dark red blood, the broken bodies, and the dead guards on the stone walls on both sides of the passage.
