Chapter Eighty-Nine: Fire and Fire
The air in the Middle Ages was far from being as fresh as the polluted industrial world, especially in the morning, when the vibrant morning sun broke through the darkness and revealed its fiery red body on the horizon, the fresh air carrying the scent of natural plants and trees was refreshing even if you took a breath.
As the sky gradually brightened, the originally quiet camp slowly became noisy.
The English practitioners gathered in small circles, pointing at the castle in front of them.
When they first entered the mandatory mission space of the Divine Music, they were nervous, and they were so anxious that they would have to capture a castle with enough defenders to defend it in three days, and those three days also included the time to rush on the road, which made the corners of their mouths foam in a hurry. By the time they arrived at the castle, the apprehension was gone, replaced by lightness.
With the help of the aboriginal army that is several times the number of the castle defenders, not to mention the two days left, even if there is only one day left to contribute to the castle that is not fully fortified, it is completely sufficient.
Without the pressure of the task, the practitioners in England suddenly felt relieved, and they felt that they had the chance to win, and they also had a laughing mood.
With an army large enough to storm the castle several times, it is no wonder that the practitioners of England feel relaxed. There is a Chinese word called happiness and sorrow, and when you feel that everything is under control, it is often the beginning of a reversal of the situation.
The first to notice that something was wrong was a mage, and when he saw a flaming red echoing with the rising sun in the sky from afar, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What is that?" What happened? β
Following his gaze, he saw in the distance a reddish color that made the brain congested was rapidly spreading.
Someone shouted in horror: "Fire, fire, fire......"
It is not for the English not to be frightened, for they are at a disadvantage. As the saying goes, the fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire, and the fire will burn quickly in the direction where the wind blows.
If it was before the end of the Dharma era, it was not impossible for someone with strong mana to stop the spread of the fire, or even extinguish the fire. However, it is now the end of the Dharma era when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been dissipating for nearly a thousand years, and the cultivators at this time are not so rebellious figures.
It is true that cultivators have more strength than ordinary people, but they have no way to withstand a huge forest fire. In the face of the impending forest fire, the cultivators whose eyes were full of fire were afraid. Some cultivators with poor psychological quality shouted in panic, and some of the people who reacted quickly ran to the side without saying a word.
It would be a fool's job to keep up with a rapidly spreading fire, just as an experienced crew member at sea will not run in the direction of the storm when it is discovered, but will flee laterally, as long as they can get out of the storm's enveloped area. The practitioners clearly remembered that there was a river on the side of the camp, and the width of the river would buy them enough time to escape, even if it did not completely stop the fire.
Judging from past experience, these English practitioners are doing the right thing. But they must not have heard the saying that empiricism kills people.
It is true that if ordinary forest fire practitioners can save themselves from the fate of being burned by fire by doing this, what if this fire is not caused naturally but by man-made?
If it's not a natural disaster, it's actually [***], and the people who caused this fire would be so negligent to give them a way out?
Thinking about it with your toes is impossible.
The cultivators didn't go far before they turned back in a hurry, not because they wanted to come back, but because they found that what they thought was the way to survive was also burning with a fire. In the V-shaped area on the topography of the Yazigzag, there were fires burning on the left and right sides, and the flames were so great that the cultivators did not dare to rush at all.
At this moment, even the dullest person can realize that something is wrong.
Got yin!
A fire in one direction can be explained as a naturally occurring fire, and practitioners may not be aware of it yet, but if a fire ignites in both directions at the same time, can it still be said to be a natural disaster?
If there is really such a coincidence, it can only be said that they didn't look at the yellow calendar when they went out, and they collectively suffered a disaster.
A warrior wearing armor and holding a spear couldn't help but shout: "Who is it? Which despicable and shameless guy is secretly harming people? β
With the exception of a very small number of masochists, no one likes to be yinized, and this warrior is no exception.
was calculated by someone but didn't even know who the other party was, how can the word grievance be clear. Compared with the shouting and killing of the sword and gun, the guy behind the yin man is even more hateful, and he hates it with gnashing teeth.
The warrior's companion grabbed him and persuaded him: "Don't waste your energy on such meaningless things, let's think about how to get out of trouble." β
No matter how angry you are, you have to face the reality - the fire will soon burn in, yelling will not help, and if you don't want to become a roast suckling pig, you have to think of a way to get out of trouble.
Flames were lit on both sides, and forcibly passing through the flames could not be done with the abilities of these cultivators, so there were only two paths in front of them.
The first is to concentrate all your efforts to conquer the castle before the fire spreads, and not only complete the mandatory mission of the Divine Movement, but also escape the fate of being burned to death. The problem is that a castle with enough troops can be conquered so easily, and the defenders inside the castle are not blind, it is impossible not to see their current situation. If the cultivators really want to attack the castle, the defenders only need to defend the line, and it won't be long before they are burned to death.
The second path was very simple, the fires on both sides were burning, and there was a castle in front of them that could not be conquered for a while, blocking the way, and they had to retreat to the rear. As long as you jump into the main trunk of the undiverted river, and then swim upstream, you can get out of trouble after a certain distance.
The second path seems to be good, you don't have to work hard, and you can get rid of the fate of roast suckling pig, but will things really be so simple?
If you want to get out of the river, you first have to swim, which weeds out a group of landlubbers; Secondly, the water surname must be good, and the physical strength must be enough, otherwise how to swim up the current for a sufficient distance; In the end, you have to deal with the danger in the water, there is something in the water that practitioners don't care about before, and jumping into the river means facing unknown dangers.
The cultivators hesitated, the aboriginal army didn't care so much. Seeing that there was an unstoppable fire on the left and right, and a castle blocking the way ahead, the aborigines jumped into the river. In order to lighten the burden and successfully escape, the aboriginal soldiers threw all the weapons and armor on their bodies to the ground.
These aborigines all jumped, proving that there should be no danger in the river.
Seeing this, the cultivators did not hesitate, and one by one they rushed to jump into the river as if their buttocks had been burned by fireβin fact, there was really a fire burning behind their butts.
Those who know how to water jump down, and those who can't water are dumbfounded.
You unrighteous things, usually call Lao Tzu brothers, and when the disaster comes, you don't know how to pull a brother, Lao Tzu can't swim!
Some people were stunned, some were at a loss, and some people attacked with hideous faces.
Why can't I run out and you can escape?
If you want to die, everyone will die together, and let Lao Tzu stay.
When people reach a desperate situation, they tend to go crazy and do things that are unreasonable, and it is clear that there are such people among the English practitioners. People have blind surnames, and those who are stuck in the dark because they don't know the surname of water see the fire approaching, and they immediately become angry in their hearts, and evil is born to the side of their hearts, and they raise their weapons, cast magic, and start killing their own people who are fluttering in the water.
A big scene called cannibalism began.
