Chapter 168: Opening
To be reasonable, no one wants the city of Ridana from top to bottom, it is even hotter than a hot potato, and everyone hates to leave this ghost place early. After seeing the ferocity of the monsters outside the city and the collapse of the main army of the Empire, no one can muster up the courage to continue fighting, and it is only natural that they will choose to flee.
Therefore, Nangong Rong thought that there was no need for him to help defend the city, and even if he could defend it, what should he do after that, and waited with a smile for Octavir to lead the team back to the imperial capital, and then the two sides sat down happily to discuss the merits and deeds.
To put it bluntly, the young man's idea is that the decline and overthrow of the empire has nothing to do with him, and even the biggest emperor doesn't plan to stick to the city, so why should he be in the limelight, he feels like a fool.
But in the end, Lin Weiyin persuaded Nangong Rong with the reason that after the emperor capital was breached, those monsters outside would scatter unhindered towards the hinterland of the empire, causing more and greater trouble and chaos, and it was the civilians including the young people who really suffered. What's more, there is no guarantee that Rogge will not transfer back some of the troops that went to the territory of the alliance in an attempt to expand the results after seeing that the store manager and they did not make a move against the miscellaneous soldiers, which will make the situation even worse.
In the final analysis, it was because the shopkeeper did not carry troops capable of frontal combat that the abyss was able to play such a tactic. However, complaining is useless and vexatious, and they have no obligation to risk their lives to help the Razfield Plane from the beginning, and in the end, they have to defeat the surging Abyss army by themselves.
Or take your compatriots and run to other worlds to settle down, leaving the empire's bosses to play happily with the abyssal monsters with their teeth and claws?
Nangong Rong felt that this could be had, but unfortunately the people in the alliance did not agree with this, after the abyss occupied one more plane, it would take more effort and sacrifice to clean up the right place - this truth The young man actually understood, but he was always a little uneven in his heart.
"Boy, this is tsundere. β
A certain pair of stupid girls finally said so, and then she was knocked on the head by Nangong Rong, and she still didn't intend to show mercy in front of her brother.
Despite this or that thought and all kinds of reluctance, the passage of time does not change according to the will of the boy, and the dawn finally comes after the night has passed. The shopkeeper in charge of the night vigil had obvious dark circles on his face, and when he shook Nangong Rong to wake him up, he was so shocked that the latter almost couldn't help but raise his hand to beat people.
Nangong Rong, who moved sofas and other things in the hall of the official mansion and stayed overnight, even though he was not arranged to keep vigil because he might have to fight today, he also failed to sleep comfortably, and after standing up, he only felt that his whole body was sore, and he couldn't help but grin for a while.
"I know you're going to be having a hard time, but there's no time left for you to prepare for gymnastics. The shopkeeper said to Nangong Rong while waking up the girls in the neighborhood one by one, "The furball on guard at the head of the city, the mysterious creature you bought with the lollipop yesterday, just sent a contact saying that the monsters seem to be planning to enter the city in search of breakfast, and we must hurry." β
Nangong Rong turned his head and glanced out the window, the sky was still gray and seemed to have just brightened, and he couldn't help but feel a little pain: "Those guys really got up early in the morning." But I think most of you are already very adapted, after all, Zhou Yi, you know very well how I feel at the moment, and I guess I usually find a place to sleep like this. β
"No, the reason why I know so well is purely because I was punished to sleep on the couch a little more often after the night attack, so I gained more experience. β
"Suddenly I feel like I want to hit someone, is this my delusion?"
The shopkeeper didn't look embarrassed or panicked at all, he didn't even look at Nangong Rong, and still continued to wake up others: "Although it's probably not an illusion, please save your strength to the city wall and use it against the monsters outside." Although many people fled overnight, there were still many people trapped in the city, and the only city guard that could fight was disbanded yesterday, and you can guess what will happen to those monsters when they come in. β
The boy imagined the scene described by the other party for a moment, splashing bright red liquid all over the ground and a large number of unidentified mosaics and severed arms filled the streets, and people were screaming and running in despair, only to run into all kinds of strange crawls in search of the smell wherever they ran, which was indeed chilling.
"Alright, let's go first. "Nangong Rong doesn't plan to sit here and wait for this group of girls to get up and dress up, even if it's just a simple care, "Go over early and prepare early, in case there is any accident, you can run away early." Merlin, are you coming?"
Nangong Rong would call Merlin purely casually without any careful consideration, and did so for the sake of the two being classmates, in fact, the young man didn't expect the other party to agree at all. However, unexpectedly, Merlin nodded his head on the spot without thinking.
"OK, count me in. β
Although he felt a little surprised, the boy didn't care much, after all, who didn't have a heart to see the excitement?, so the three boys quickly left the hall together, and walked briskly towards the city wall.
ββββββββββββββββββI'm a dividing lineββββββββββββββββββ
The walls of Ridana weren't completely deserted, a few of his best friends were keeping an eye out at the abyssal monsters outside, feasting on canned beef in their hands, and occasionally scooping out a piece of meat with a spoon and feeding it to some of the furry spherical creatures nearby.
They are the same group of bachelor soldiers who were saved by a certain black long straight nurse yesterday, and they volunteered to take on the task of monitoring the monster movement on the city wall at night to prevent the other party from attacking the city at night. Since there was no wireless device, the shopkeeper lent his pet to these people, because the little thing could always contact its shovel officer with a spirit link.
When Nangong Rong saw these soldiers, the hairballs had been fed by them until they were round, and they felt like they were all bigger.
Of course, this is not the point, the mysterious creatures are full, but the abyssal monsters outside are still hungry, they staggered slowly towards the city, it seems that it is a completely subconscious action, and there seems to be no one behind to command.
"Luckily, the movements of those monsters are very scattered, and there should be no unified command. The shopkeeper was obviously more experienced than the others, and after a little glance, he came to a conclusion, "But it's only the front, and it's impossible for us to watch them enter the city, so when Nangong Rong's puppet and the monster in front start fighting, the group of lazy guys in the back will be stimulated immediately." β
The large group of monsters with deep purple or purple skin looked like a tide from afar, and even if it wasn't for a menacing charge, it still gave the impression that the entire city would be overwhelmed by it. But it's just that he feels like this, Nangong Rong, who has actually dealt with the Abyss Miscellaneous Soldiers, knows very well that in some cases, the other party is not as terrifying as it seems.
For example, the defensive position, which is composed of a large number of soldiers equipped with hot weapons, is not very afraid of the abyss's miscellaneous charges, but it is a pity that it is not realistic to say this now.
There was nothing left near the city, because after yesterday's battle, Saza had magically carved out a large pit and buried all the monsters' corpses in it. Nangong Ronghui's willingness to agree to try to fight against the nearly 10,000 monsters outside the city also has something to do with it, and after watching Shuangdumao's performance in the lakes, the boy feels that he can also try to cosplay a necromancer.
After all, this is a ready-made body that has been transformed by the abyss, and it has lost its life, so it is very easy to transform. However, it is not realistic to use the corpse directly, Ya has been completely abyssized, and some changes must be made to meet the requirements of the teenager.
So under the gaze of the shopkeeper, with Nangong Rong's action of inserting the crystal sword into the city, a dazzling colored light flowed down the city wall to the ground; just when everyone thought that the next round of shaking and shaking a puppet made of many mud staggered up, a large number of bloody and blurred mosaics came out of the soil, and the surface was stained with countless black mud spots, not to mention how disgusting.
The shopkeeper suddenly felt that he understood a little bit why Nangong Rong left the girl and came over earlier, if it wasn't for the fear that he would disturb the spell casting, he would probably have rushed over and grabbed the other party's collar - what the hell are you messing with, what about the elemental puppet you said?
However, even if the shopkeeper really did this, he still couldn't stop Nangong Rong's determination to try to change careers, and the boy only felt that he was about to become addicted to playing. Because although it is ineffective against living creatures, Nangong Rong's ability has a very desirable effect on the corpses of dead monsters, and it is much easier to manipulate than dirt or anything.
The only trouble is that this transformation of the boy will destroy the corpse, turning it from a whole to a fragment, from a fragment to a mosaic, and it cannot restore or resurrect the monster in the true sense, but can only use their body as a building material.
That's why there was a strange scene of large mosaics flying all over the sky in front of me, and even a certain round white unknown creature couldn't help but run to the side and retch.
Well, it's really just a gesture, and the little thing doesn't even spit out saliva.
After about half a minute, the mosaics that wriggled in the air finally finished gathering, forming a humanoid monster about the size of the Mortal Burner. It's just that the thing in front of him is much more bloated than the Hellfire Burner, it is completely a giant fat man, his whole body is full of open wounds, and disgusting mucus is constantly gushing out, and there are six dim eyes on his head, and they are compound eyes like insects, which look very strange with a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.
Although he doesn't have a weapon in his hand, the monster has a simple set of armor made of clay, but the specific damage reduction ability of the armor has yet to be verified, so for now, it is good to use it as an ornament.
After a few seconds of silence, the shopkeeper couldn't help but rush forward and grabbed Nangong Rong's collar and sprayed his face full of spit: "To be reasonable, you can't blatantly create hatred here because my sister played the stalk of a famous villain before, one by one, as a righteous friend, but he likes to tinker with the appearance of summons, and the undead spell that people can't help but be overwhelmed by is what to do, hey!?"
While charging the crystal sword with the glass bottle that the shopkeeper had stacked neatly on the city wall in advance, Nangong Rong frowned and thought for a moment before replying as if serious: "Well, because it is very easy to farm soldiers, it is very suitable for dealing with the abyss where the speed of farming is faster?"
"It's really irrefutable. Okay, okay, this is your battle after all, you can play how you like. β
In fact, Nangong Rong can also make puppets the size of ordinary people, so that the number will be much more, and the vast majority of the monster army outside the city is transformed from human soldiers who died in battle, and it should be able to fight, but that can only occupy an advantage in the early stage, when the monsters in the rear are alarmed and collectively swarmed up, these beasts are impossible to stop.
In terms of overall numbers, the abyss still has an absolute advantage, and no matter how hard Nangong Rong tries to open up, it can't change this. Unless the boy can really summon thousands of troops with a big wave of his hand, but if that is the case, he will naturally not be considered a wet nurse, and someone will believe it if he reports it with a mighty and domineering bluffing name, such as [Elemental Puppet Sovereign] or something.
However, in fact, the boy needs to use both the weapons of the Abyss and the potions of the Alliance to make several dead fat beings in a row, otherwise if he throws away these two things, he will definitely be as instantly revealed as Oktavel who has lost the Illusion Phoenix.
However, someone was able to combine the products of the two rivals, the Abyss and the Alliance, and the shopkeeper next to him could only silently sigh in his heart that the world was so big.
Nangong Rong quickly used up the corpses of the monsters buried in the pit, created a total of more than a dozen fat people, and staggered towards the genuine monsters that were gradually approaching the city in the distance. After that, the boy became a relatively acceptable elemental golem, such as the Mud Man and the Mud Man and the Mud Man, and the like the Mud Man, significantly reducing their size to save energy and increase their number.
"How about the consumption, is it serious?" The shopkeeper noticed that a lot of fine sweat had oozed from the young man's forehead in a short period of time, so he hurriedly asked with concern, "If you feel that you can't hold on, don't force it, no one will blame you." β
"Don't worry, it's still early to reach the limit. β
