Chapter 719: The Veteran Sleeps Forever
Lin Chen's words made the hearts of everyone present heavy.
The situation on the night of the full moon is bound to be extremely dangerous, and it is naturally impossible for them to win with their strength alone, but it is not easy to unite all the imprisoned people here.
And Lin Chen naturally knew this, he said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we have to give it a try, and in my opinion, at the moment of life and death, it can just stimulate people's greater desire to survive." ”
"I don't think it's as difficult as we think."
As soon as these words fell, everyone nodded, and now, there is no other better way.
What Lin Chen said was undoubtedly the best way.
There are still three days left before the night of the full moon, and the next three days everyone will start to act.
The pilgrims still came at night, but they were all safely passed, and they began to unite with the other prisoners in the prison.
As Lin Chen had guessed, after truly learning about their situation, the prisoners had completely given up hope in the Silver Armor Army and decided to join Lin Chen.
This time the union was surprisingly smooth, and soon, Lin Chen and the others had already united all the people in this prison.
Now, just wait for the full moon night to arrive.
Time, bit by bit, is the time when the full moon night comes.
The expressions of everyone in the prison have been solemn to the extreme, and they have adjusted their state to the best.
The situation is urgent, and they can't think about it at all, anyway, waiting for it is a death, so it is better to fight before dying.
Today's prison is obviously different from before, Old Man Xu surprisingly didn't drink.
Lin Chen knew in his heart that in a few more hours, once night fell, they would face the biggest challenge, whether it was life or death, it was only up to that time.
There is already a thick murderous flow in people's eyes, and everyone knows in their hearts that the real crisis is coming.
Moreover, Lin Chen sensed another aura within the range of this prison.
It was not only the aura emitted by the Silver Armor Army, but also a violent and crazy aura flowing, thinking that those should be the aura emitted by those demons that Wan Qi had seen before.
The dungeon was dark, there were no windows for them to judge the outside world, and they couldn't even perceive the flow of time, as if they had fallen into another space, without the flow of time, there would not be the slightest light.
People can only roughly judge when it appeared through Old Man Xu's activities.
I don't know how long it has been, Old Man Xu came to the door of Lin Chen and the others' cells.
Da-da-da-da.
The thin fingers made a crisp sound on the iron railing, which attracted the attention of hundreds of prisoners in the prison, and Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Old Man Xu.
"It's already evening, and the Silver Armor will take over this place, and when the late night pilgrims arrive, the Silver Armor will leave, and that's when the demons enter here."
"It will also be your last chance."
"Whether you can kill the demons or not will be directly related to whether you can really live."
"But this time you still have hope, the Shangguan City Lord did not come with him, he should have something more important to leave."
"I heard that it seems to be to complete a task assigned by Ouyang City Lord."
"I don't know the specifics, but what is certain is that this time the garrison outside is not too strong, at most, it is only that the Great Commander of the Eight Realms Peak is in charge, you still have a chance."
Lin Chen frowned and said, "Why are you telling me this?" ”
Staring at the old man Xu in front of him, Lin Chen's eyes were full of doubt.
It stands to reason that this person is also the last garrison force here, and he should be the one who stands on the side of Shangguan Mingdao.
And just when Lin Chen's doubts just fell, Old Man Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I've been here for fifty years. ”
"For 50 years, hundreds of people died every month."
"After such a long period of accumulation, this place has become a real hell on earth."
"Tens of thousands of unjust souls haunt me all the time, and I suffer endless physical pain and mental torture every night."
"I've had enough, and I've really seen that the city lord we once tried to protect has already changed."
"Now he is more like a puppet, and he has long lost the qualification to be guarded by us."
"Just now I learned that my last comrade-in-arms has passed away for a long time, and there is no point in me staying in this world."
"Fifty years ago, in the First World War, we exchanged our lives for the greatest glory in our lives, but we spent a full fifty years of darkness to protect those glories, just to leave a so-called heroic name in people's hearts."
"When you think about it, it's not worth it."
"Now that I've figured it out, I'm not going to stay here anymore."
"Tonight, I will atone for my own sins in the past fifty years, I hope you can successfully escape, remember, after leaving here, do not stay in Qiutan City, go a hundred miles along the gate of the West City and then go north, there is an active volcano, in the belly of the mountain you can find an old demon clan, that is a good friend of mine, give him this letter, he will take you to the hiding place of all the corpses accumulated in the past fifty years, in that place, you can get everything you want to know."
"Of course, if you can survive that situation, and you really want to know the secrets of fifty years ago."
"If you don't want to find out what happened fifty years ago, just tell the old demon and he will take you to safety."
"That's the last thing I can do for you."
After receiving the letter handed by Old Man Xu, Lin Chen's expression was solemn.
Old man Xu is indeed guilty, but compared to Shangguan Mingdao, his guilt is completely negligible.
However, it is not bad that this person can wake up at such a time, at least in this way, his soul can be redeemed.
It's just that Shangguan City Lord......
Retracting his thoughts, his eyes fixed on the back of the old man Xu, the faltering old man gradually disappeared into the darkness, he slowly walked to the small room where he had lived for fifty years, and wasted all his strength before pulling out a huge box covered with dust from under the bed.
Inside, the lock was a blood-eroded armor with a broken spear on the side.
It was the beginning of all glory fifty years ago, but the brilliance of that moment took a full fifty years of darkness to change.
Is it really worth it?
Old man Xu asked himself.
Maybe it's worth it, maybe it's not worth it.
But everything doesn't matter anymore, fifty years of darkness, he thought that all his blood and fighting spirit had been polished, but when his hand touched the armor that had been soaked in blood, he could still feel that strong fighting intent.
There is pride in the chest.
Old man Xu's face finally showed a smile, although he no longer had the sassy and heroic posture of fifty years ago, and even with that clumsy and slow posture, it took a lot of effort to put on the armor.
The heavy armor on his body made him completely unable to stand up on his own, relying on the support of the broken war spear to barely get up, but his face was still full of smiles.
At this moment, he seemed to come back to life.
He saw the pride of the past, and saw the battlefield full of boundless killing machines, those equally sassy and heroic teenagers, waving the weapons in their hands and fighting wildly.
Their eyes were filled with steadfastness in their faith and unswerving loyalty.
They are not loyal to a single person, but to the faith in their hearts, and it is the belief that wants to defend their homeland against the invasion of foreign enemies that sustains their battles.
Grappled.
Indulge in the fight.
Even if they die on the battlefield, they will not have the slightest complaint.
It will be a hundred battles to the death, and the horse leather shroud will be returned.
Looking at the fallen comrades-in-arms, there will be grief in my heart, but more importantly, it is still the kind of indomitable fighting spirit.
It's nice to be young.
Old man Xu stretched out his thin palm to grab the phantoms in front of him, when he was young, he also had the dream of Congrong, and when he really went to the battlefield, he also had fear and panic in his heart, but more, it was indeed the indomitable will.
At the moment of indulging in fighting, he really felt that dying on the battlefield should be his best destination.
That's the greatest tribute to a warrior.
Later, the war was won, and the survivors were full of glory, Old Man Xu felt that he and his comrades-in-arms were not wronged in their sacrifices, and at that moment, he was also full of glory, he thought that the best life in the future was to have a hot kang head for his wife and children, but who would have thought that for the glory of that moment, he lived a full fifty years of dark life.
He has witnessed the fall of the city lord he once protected, and he has also witnessed the death of too many people.
Every late at night, he only dared to look drunkenly at the big box where the armor was stored, but he never had the courage to face the armor that he once had.
But this moment is different.
Letting go of all his obsessions, he suddenly felt that he was not so tired of living.
Even this dark dungeon doesn't seem so dull.
It's time for him to pay for his guilt.
The old soldier lay quietly on the bed in armor and holding a broken spear, and there was no drunkenness in his cloudy eyes, only the indescribable clarity.
His eyes gradually hollowed, he saw the blood-stained battlefield, and at that moment of life and death, he did not choose to hide.
Enemy weapons pierced his body, and in his hands he held unbroken spears.
The sun sets outside the prison, and the veterans inside the prison sleep forever.
