Verse 126: Late at Night (4)

"You're late, Constance, my sister."

Marin followed behind Constance, and when he heard his words, he looked up at the old woman who had come out of the dark street, she was full of white hair and wrinkled face, but her straight body and thick breastplate armor represented that her strength did not match her appearance.

"Constance, my brother...... Your new little follower" The sister smiled and walked over to her brother's side: "The traveling bishop of the God of Wealth, Singh, came to me, and he told me about the Church of the God of Wealth, and I hurriedly brought someone over. ”

"Then he's lucky, if he walks in, then he's dead." Speaking of this, Constance turned his head and beckoned to Marin: "Marin, come, let me introduce you, this is Constance, my sister, the daughter of my father and mother who adopted me." ”

"Don't add the last sentence to every person you introduce, my brother." Constance said with a smile.

"Get used to it, when I was young, every time I said you were my sister, someone would be curious about our hair color, and now that we are all old people, this habit can't be changed." Constance stretched out his hand and hugged his sister: "Today, we are facing a desperate situation together. ”

"Yes, my brother, we face a desperate situation together." After hugging her brother, the old woman looked down at Marin: "Your name is Marin, and you are a child of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, then you should be the holder of the Hallows, sorry, little cutie, let you see the bad side of the city." ”

"Madame, please don't say that, the city is still beautiful, as long as we kill all the uninvited guests." Marin raised his head and said with a smile.

"Yes, it should be, by the way, what are you doing with this little chaotic head?" the old woman looked at the cub's head in Marin's arms.

Marin sighed: "I'm checking its chaos situation, and I find that Chaos is indeed like a child who is not a picky eater. With that, he carefully placed the head on the side of the road.

"Chaos never complains about their food, Marlin." The old woman snapped her fingers, and the divine flame enveloped the skull in an instant: "Just like us, we never have to worry about how to kill them. ”

Marin nodded, she looked at the old woman and the elder in front of her, "What are we going to do next." ”

"Let's go to the eastern side of the city." Mrs. Constance of the Church of Justice smiled and said: "The believers of Nurgle seduced the Bishop Cohen, the god of wealth, not only because he was limited to generals, but the apprentices and members of the church were sacrificed by this bishop, he wanted to gain eternal life, but he did not think that the achievement of gods can obtain eternal life, become a pile of Nurgle's rotten flesh that can repair itself infinitely, and it can also be a way of eternal life...... Speaking of this, the old lady looked at her brother: "My brother, did Cohen gain eternal life in this way. ”

"Yes, my sister, I can't imagine that Cohen, who pursued you back then, can now be despicable for the sake of eternal life." Constance sighed: "You are in the eastern part of the city, then we will go to the south of the city, first dispose of the toxins and Chaos cultists over there, and then rush over to join you." ”

"Over there in the tunnel, has Old Hoffman and Karnava from the God of War Church gone down?"

"Yes, they've met, and the only thing that makes me wonder is why the Tongue Bird and the dirty thing came together."

At this point in the conversation between the brother and sister, they all looked at Marin: "What do you think?" ”

Listening to the two of them speaking in unison, Marin pulled the corners of his mouth: "I think, the Tongue Bird wants to summon something, and the Dead Fat Man's believers shouldn't come over to participate in the grand event, so my idea is that maybe the Dead Fat Man's believers want to occupy the magpie's nest and use the Tongue Bird's circle to summon something from their sect." ”

Now the labor cost is so expensive, it can be saved, and occupying the magic circle of the Tongue Bird believers to summon the units of their own sect, this kind of good way to count in one fell swoop, I think it has long been a good way for the dead fat believers to think about it day and night.

The two siblings nodded, and Constance made up his mind: "It is indeed a unique and well-founded opinion, I think this is why the magic circle of the Tongue Bird is in the eastern district of the city, and the believers of Nurgle will also do things in the eastern district of the city, after all, the vertical route is the most convenient." ”

"Then let's not talk about it anymore, let's go our separate ways, my brother." The old woman stretched out her hand and wiped the blood from her brother's face: "See you after the war." ”

"See you after the war, my sister." The old elder smiled, watching her sister leave with someone, he turned his head to look at Marin: "My sister was a great beauty in Pamir City when she was young. ”

"And now, Your Excellency." Marin replied with a smile.

Even if her appearance changes, the charm shown by this old lady is not comparable to ordinary people.

………………

"Kate's team has lost more than half of it." Leaning against the wall, the city guards with revolvers shouted to their commanders, "Their messenger just came and said that we will not be able to stop the Chaos offensive in the north!" ”

"The retreat of civilians is too slow." The captain looked at the civilians behind him who were dragging their families and holding various household belongings: "Team Alpha! Tell the civilians! Don't bring anything with you! Take people and money away! ”

A scream rang from across the street, and the cultists of Chaos once again drove the twisted monster into the eyes of the city guards.

"Fifteen twisted beasts! More Chaos Believers! They have cysts on them! The elf sitting at the window on the second floor of the street waved his hand at his commander, "Let the twisted beast come and fight!" We'll stop those cyst believers, and we'll be in trouble if they break through the lines! ”

"But the twisted beasts are coming at us, we can't beat them in close combat!" There were halflings screaming.

"Here we go!" A dwarf city guard is sticking a fish bombing tool into his belt: "My family is over there!" I have nothing left! Let them go! The meat of a dwarf is tender, but it also has to have good teeth! ”

A human city guard took a bunch of fish-frying tools from his side and thrust them into his belt.

"One hundred yards...... I see Chaos with guns in his hands! It's a firefight! The elf noticed that a stray bullet was flying past him, and immediately got out of the window: "Commander! Where are our reinforcements! ”

"Where's the reinforcements!" The middle-aged captain of the city guard said as he pushed away a young city guard and snatched the fish tools from his hand - the kid tied them together: "You are still young, boy, there is no home, you can find another mother-in-law and give birth to a bunch of cubs, but me, my home is really gone, my wife is gone, and the children are gone, I should die here today." ”

Rubbing the half-sized man's head, the middle-aged captain of the city guard turned his head to look at his herald: "Drag this kid to the central district, and the only son in the family will follow!" ”

He looked around the line.

Half of the boys shrank into the bunkers of furniture and stones, some of the young-faced city guards tried to hide behind their teammates, and some halflings yelled at him, "Look what I'm doing!" I've got four pups! ”

"Where's that little cub in your company?" The captain of the city guard stared at him.

The halfling man froze for a moment, he turned his head and saw the child behind him: "You're crazy, get out of here!" ”

"Dad just died, Mom is over there, my sister is over there, I don't want to leave!" The child, who was not as tall as a rifle, held a revolver and looked at the crowd with a sad face.

"Forty yards! There's no time to chat! The elf shouted as he opened fire.

The captain of the city guard stood up, he walked up to the boy, snatched the gun from his hand, pulled him by the collar and threw him to his herald: "I give you an order now, take these two children, immediately, immediately, and let me get out as far as possible." Staring at the three little cubs, the middle-aged city guard captain pointed the revolver he had snatched out of the defensive line, and the twisted chaos with his hands and feet had just jumped into the defensive line at this time, and was hit completely defenseless in the face of the oncoming bullet, the bullet passed through its eye socket, so it lost its balance and fell to the ground during the jump.

Several city guards immediately rushed over and beat the monster with bayonets and rifle butts.

There was an explosion outside the defensive line, and the stump fell to the feet of the middle-aged city guard captain, who looked at the three cubs in front of him and roared with all his might.

His herald finally grabbed the two children's hands and ran back in three turns.

"In these years, even people are rushing to seek death."

The captain of the city guards turned around, and the twisted beasts had already rushed into the defense line by this time, they were entangled with the city guards, and some of the city guards rushed out of the defense line and collided with the Chaos cultists who rushed over.

Rifle bullets at close range were used to the fullest, and whichever side pulled the trigger could hit their own people in the melee, so soon there was no more gunfire, and the two sides began hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, butts, daggers and self-defense sticks.

The captain of the city guard, armed with a revolver, seemed to be holding an artifact, he first killed the warped beast that was close at hand, then turned to the left and knocked the Chaos cultist who pressed his subordinate under him and choked his neck to the ground, then he twisted and let go of the bayonet, grabbed the barrel and pulled, sliced Chaos's nose with the sharp valgus edge of his helmet, and then pressed the barrel against its chin and pulled the trigger.

A foul stench emanates from the dead Chaos.

It's a toxin!

The captain of the city guard raised his gun as he gave warning, and fired at the Chaos who was also pointing his gun at him.

His bullet pierced Chaos Chaos' chest, and the latter's bullet struck him in the thigh.

The captain of the city guards, who had lost his support, fell to the ground, and before he could break free from his unbalanced state, a chaos screamed and pounced on him, looking at the dagger in his hand, the captain of the city guard had to put his hand on the arm he had pressed down.

Seeing the dagger gradually approaching his eye socket, the captain of the city guard struggled hard, and then he was shot in the leg again, this trembling made him lose his strength, and he twisted his head at the end to avoid the bad luck of the dagger passing through his eye socket, but a large cut was made on his face, and his left eye seemed to be injured, in addition to the pain of his heart, he also lost part of his vision.

The chaos on his body shouted words he didn't understand, and slashed the face of the captain of the city guard with a dagger.

Just as the captain of the city guard was about to lose his strength, a small hand wrapped around Chaos' neck from behind.

The captain of the city guard heard a crisp cracking sound, and Chaos, whose neck had been broken, was dragged off his body by the owner of the small hand.

He saw a boy who didn't seem to be as old as his youngest son and smiled and held out his hand to him.

The substitutes of the Church have joined the fray.

"Why, do you need me to pick you up, big man." The kid asked with a smile, with a foreign accent.

On weekdays, I would definitely interrogate him to see if this little cub was a little bastard who had the audacity to run away from home.

But today, the captain of the city guard felt like he had seen an angel.

He was dragged up by the kid and sat up.

"You've got a lot of strength." The middle-aged captain of the city guard covered his face and smiled while panting.

Then the smile tugged at the wound on his face.

"Perfect for snapping the neck of Chaos." The kid finished with a smile, and there was a glimmer of white light in his outstretched hand, and the captain of the city guard could feel that the wound on his face was closing at a speed that completely violated biology.

"Thank you." The captain of the city guard nodded in gratitude, and when the boy left, he stood up and saw the entire line of defense covered with corpses, city guards, chaos, twisted beasts.

He saw a pair of boots, the favorite boots of the Gnome City guard, which had been placed in the corner of the defensive line, neatly arranged there.

The captain of the city guard hugged his head and cried loudly.

………………

Marin glanced at the middle-aged man who was crying bitterly, he could understand his feelings, but this is war, and there will always be people who die in war.

"The city guard system can be trusted." Constance walked over, carrying a Chaos head in his hand: "Very rare vampire Chaos, this will be the most perfect collection in my collection room." He then put the head in the bag behind his waist.

"Why don't you leave this thing here, it won't grow legs anyway." Marin asked with some curiosity: "If you take it, will it cause mobility difficulties?" ”

"No, boy, I'm not old enough to walk." After speaking, Constance pointed to the other side: "As for what you said about the head that doesn't grow legs, I think it's better to take a look there." ”

Marlin turned his head just in time to see a chaotic head with several worm-like structures growing out of the severed neck, and it was cautiously trying to flee the scene, and after confirming the amusement on Constanz's face and the surprise on Marin's face, it began to run.

Marin pulled out his revolver with a blank face, and fired the head of the wall-walking with a single shot.

At the same time, Marin's heart was scolding his mother frantically - I'm a big man, and my head can really grow feet.

"Five hundred dollars gone, boy." Konstanz laughed and walked forward.

Marin rolled his eyes: "The potion made by this thing can be eaten by normal people", he caught up with Constance and asked curiously.

"No, but this thing's brain is a lot of poison reinforcement material, and there is always a time to use it." The old man replied with a smile.

Hearing that it was poison, Marin felt indifferent: "Isn't that indifferent, Your Excellency." ”

"No, sometimes, poison is also a killer...... Of course, such a thing is a little far away from you, and you can be your big hero, a boy who is watched over by the god of justice. The old man reached out and patted Marin's head: "...... How do you feel a little taller again. ”

"Is there one?" said Marlin.

"Lie to you." The old man said expressionlessly.

…… You old thing, you owe so much, no one wants to hack you to death for so many years

There is really no providence.

"Your Excellency, we have seen the Imperial Palace, and there is an exchange of fire over there." A substitute came over and explained the situation.

This news made Donstanz silent for a moment: "Who is someone in the palace." ”

"I don't know, but I can confirm that there are guards guarding the palace, and it is a Chaos that is fighting with them, and the firepower of the palace is sufficient, and Chaos has died a lot, and he has not been able to rush in."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go and meet the one."

As Constance walked forward, the substitutes began to march in battle formation, and Marin and the two halflings kicked open the door of the storefront, all the way through the counter, up to the rooftop, over the low wall in front of the building, and soon saw the palace.

It feels different from the annex in Fort Carter, which is a small building with a half-open, half-garden system, which feels more suitable for an elf like Faye, and the palace here is like a small fortress, where you can see the exchange of fire between one side of the palace near the street and the other, and dozens of corpses falling on the street illuminated by the street lamps.

So Chaos is really stupid to tear down the street lights.

Marin complained in his belly, and then saw that the chaos began to charge again, and the hundred or so people rushed up like a war in Africa, and two cannons were fired directly from the palace, and there were dozens of corpses and dozens of wounded on the ground, all of which were laid there.

"Okay, field artillery, with shotguns, the defenders in the palace look very knowledgeable." Said the halfling punisher.

Marin caught the flare handed by the other halfling and shot it into the sky.

The sudden appearance of flares naturally attracted the attention of the defenders, but considering such a fanfare of their presence here, the defenders did not open fire directly, but someone shouted: "What people! Why use flares! ”

"We are the substitute punisher troops of the Harvest Goddess Church!" Downstairs, Constance took over.

"Who knows if you're not!" An old man's voice rang out.

Marlin paused for a momentβ€”the voice sounded familiar.

Then he thought of Jason, the butler who seemed to follow the lady Manly all along.

Marin wanted to take himself out of the first place.

Then he thought about some things, it is better not to be too lazy, so he cleared his throat: "Mr. Jason, I'm Marin." ”

There was silence on the other side for a moment, and then there was a hint of joy in the old man's voice: "Mr. Marin, how are you doing lately?" ”

"It's not good, I've seen the worst side of the city, is Madame okay."

"Looks like you're real, please come here." There was a hint of doubt in the old man's voice.

So Marlin went downstairs and went under the wall, and there was a rope down, and Marlin wrapped the rope around his waist and was dragged up.

When he saw Jason, Marlin smiled a little shyly, "Hello, Mr. Jason. ”

"It's really Mr. Marin, this world is really small." The old man smiled a little awkwardly, then motioned for the guard to open the side door.
