Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Beginning of the Siege
During the battle between the protagonist Gus and Baziso, there are several people from the other world in strange costumes on the walled fort strewn with corpses.
"Monte, what do you think of the strength of the protagonist?" Song Jing, who was in the shadows, asked as he looked at the fierce battle below.
"Good strength, I definitely can't beat it before. However, after the enhancement, my physical fitness has increased significantly, and it is easy to defeat him" Monte looked at the protagonist, but after a pause, he added, "However, considering swordsmanship or martial arts, it is better to use firearms against them"
"Of course, but our strength in the steel world was still very weak before, and it is no problem to use firearms, but now we should not rely too much on firearms, and we should be more familiar with and use the power we have exchanged."
"Are you saying that the exchange of technological weapons is too cost-effective?"
"Yes"
"Is it over?"
Ignoring Bassso's head-slashing axe, the young Gus slashed with his two-handed sword in desperation.
In a thrilling moment, Gus's helmet was knocked down, but Baziso was not so lucky, and the greatsword sank deep into his abdomen, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Wait a minute, I'm convinced of your force, I'm Bazso," the defeated begged for mercy in horror.
Puff β
Before he could finish speaking, Gus coldly drew his greatsword and raised it to slash it violently, splitting Bazso's helmeted head in half, and his eyes came out with great force, and his death was very miserable.
"Huh? He fights like he doesn't want to die," Monte wondered, Gus was almost cut off in the head, there are many ways to fight, but it's not common to be so brave to die.
"Maybe it's a problem with his childhood" Song Jing's deep eyes reflected the figure that coldly swung the blood on the sword, "After all, he is only fifteen years old now"
"Really? The scars of the times," Monte only sighed slightly.
Song Jing didn't reply, but looked up from the stone window at several figures on the opposite city wall, more accurately the man with an eagle-like helmet.
That is the other protagonist in the Sword Wind saga, Griffith, who betrayed the protagonist Gus and the Eagle Regiment at the end of the Golden Age Chapter, sacrificed the entire Eagle Regiment, and became the fifth God Hand Faimon, which led to the tragedy of Gus and the world.
"Griffith?" Monte also noticed that a pure white armor could be said to be very conspicuous on the battlefield.
"Not bad"
"What do you say will happen if you kill them here? Even though they are the main characters, in the real world, one or two less people should be fine, after all, there is no limit to our mission to do so. Monte said with a cold look in his eyes.
"No, maybe other worlds can, but this world can't. In this world, there are beings called gods, in which Griffith betrayed the Eagle Regiment and was reincarnated as the fifth god Hand Femont's future has been arranged, and Gus is destined to be the fate of the sacrifice. If we change, it won't be a good thing for us," Song Jing said in a deep voice.
In the original work, the hands of the gods who are confined to the netherworld can observe the existence of cause and effect or timeline, and they are simply invincible with the strength of everyone, not to mention, there is a god named Abyss behind the hand of God, and the water in this world is too deep.
"Then they are really sad, a tragedy arranged by the Supreme Being!" Monte sighed.
Song Jing couldn't deny it, just lowered his head and thought about his next move, the protagonist team should not contact it first, so as not to be targeted by the hands of the gods too early, after all, even if they can't come to the human world in person, it is still the apostolic action that can order hidden in the human race.
At this time, Huang Shurong was holding a bloody sword in his hand, and he quickly entered through the stone gate of the city wall fort where everyone was located.
"How?" Song Jing asked.
"Whether it's a mercenary, a soldier or a knight, it's a bonus point," Huang Shurong said coldly.
"It seems that the last mission was just the care given to us by the Lord God!" Yuyama added, "It's like a newbie perk in the game or an opening to adapt to the rules of the game"
"Speaking of which, does the return time mentioned in this mission mean anything?" Monte said, "There was no clear time limit last time, but if you don't die, you won't be back."
"The Golden Age chapter is over, and I think the Lord God may be trying to remind us to be careful of the hand of God," Song Jing guessed.
"They're leaving!" Alexander, who had been observing the Eagle Regiment, suddenly spoke.
Everyone walked to the observation point of the only stone window, only to see Griffith, dressed in pure white armor, hurrying away with his subordinates, but at this moment, he suddenly glanced sideways at the place where everyone was, and his sharp gaze made people's hearts skip a beat, and then retreated without any abnormality.
"Looks like he's spotted us, and he's alert," Monte grinned.
"Extraordinary people must have extraordinary things." Song Jing smiled, "Get ready!" It's time for us to make an appearance, and this time we have to do it! β
With the retreat of the Eagle Regiment, there was no suspense on the battlefield here, and the only soldiers and women and children left on the defeated side were too late to escape, and the nobles had already retreated with their personal guards.
At this time, the hired mercenaries are like hyenas smelling blood, their eyes wide with desire, fighting the panicked soldiers, while burrowing into any hiding place in search of post-war sweets.
Gus is still fighting on the battlefield, after all, this war has not ended, as a mercenary, of course he can't retreat, blood, stumps and cold corpses, the battlefield is where he grew up after birth, fighting has been integrated into his body like blood, maybe he will spend his whole life on the battlefield.
However, at this moment, on the city wall next to the defenders who were approaching the corner, a figure jumped out of a high window and fell.
When the smoke cleared, a tall, strangely dressed man stood steadily on the ground with an ordinary sword in his hand, his expression grim and his breathtaking gaze swept over everyone.
"This..." As if he had been threatened by a beast, Gus's pupils shrank, and he choked for a moment.
"Stop, the battle is over," Monte said to everyone in front of him who was slightly panicked.
"Who are you? What nonsense", one of the nearby knights shouted angrily, swinging his sword at Monte, "Kill him!" β
The two mercenaries immediately picked up their guns and moved forward, and Monte kicked hard with both feet, and before the mercenaries could react, he instantly crossed the distance between them, and slashed left and right with the sword in his right hand.
Poof, two heads with wide eyes and a frightened face fell to the ground, and the headless body fell to the ground.
"You're next," Monte's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the knight with a murderous aura.
"Surround him, line up", the knight was terrified, and then angrily commanded the mercenaries near him, "Kill him now"
As soon as he finished speaking, Monte pounced on the knight like a flood beast, twisted his body through the gap in the mercenary's spear, and slashed at the mercenary's neck with his right hand, sending two incredible heads flying.
Before the body of the deceased fell, Monte took a deep breath and jumped hard, and actually flew over the mercenaries around him, like a bird gliding, instantly crossing the human wall that the mercenaries had not yet formed.
"Waitβ" The knight looked at Monte in the air with a panicked expression, ready to say something, and raised the sword in his hand to resist.
In an instant, the descending Monte slashed down with his hands expressionlessly, and in a flash of cold light, Monte landed in front of the knight, and the sword actually sank diagonally from the left shoulder of the armor to the chest.
"Uh-" The knight collapsed in disbelief, plunging into deep darkness.
The mercenaries who turned around panicked for a moment, holding the swords or spears in their hands, but their bodies trembled, and they inadvertently began to push.
"This is obviously more powerful than Baziso!"
"How can there be such a person!"
Not far away, Gus, looking at the upright and awe-inspiring Monte, a chill ran in his heart, and he thought in his heart:
'Not man, he's not man!' β
............
"What's going on?" The leader in black armor on the horses in the distance noticed the battle situation here and shouted, "Is it the enemy? You killed him! β
As soon as he finished speaking, boomββ!
A violent explosion sounded near the leader, smoke rose, and the leader suddenly turned on his back.
At this time, everyone in the castle was in an uproar, causing an unprecedented commotion, everyone looked around in a panic to find out the culprit, and one of the team leader's personal guards shouted loudly, "Catapult, enemy attack!" Enemy attack! β
Boom β
In the personal guard regiment on the right side of the leader, there was another bombardment, and the sound of the explosion resounded in everyone's minds, stumps and dirt splashed everywhere, and a heat wave swept around, and immediately mourned all over the field.
"Ahh
"My legs!"
"My waist hurts so much!"
The leader who fell to the ground woke up in a burst of tinnitus, and he looked at this hellish scene in embarrassment, lost his mind for a while, and said:
"What's going on? Is it the legendary cannon? β
"Everyone put down their weapons and crouch down with their heads in their hands!" , a shout rang out from the southern city walls.
"What?" Incredible thoughts flashed through everyone's hearts, and they all looked at the sunlit city wall.
I saw three figures in strange costumes standing on the colorful city wall one after another, and the leader looked down coldly at the crowd below.
Seeing that the soldiers below did not react, Song Jing shook his head and said, "Didn't you hear?" Everyone put down their weapons and crouched with their heads in their hands! β
"Who are you? Do you know that we are the army of the Yoda Empire", the leader who came back to his senses shouted angrily under the protection of the remaining guards, and his more than 1,000 soldiers gave him incomparable courage, and shouted angrily:
"I'm Viscount Murray Leicester of the Yoda Empire, and you..."
Song Jing didn't have the patience to listen to him, shook his head and interrupted, "I don't like to say it a third time"
His white-gloved right hand snapped his fingers, and the alchemy of flames kicked in, booming ββ!
The explosion sounded on the side of Viscount Murray, and more precisely, the guards on the left were shattered, unusually red blood splattered everywhere, and the stumps flew over.
"Yes!" The blood swept through Viscount Murray with a heat wave and a shock wave, making his body take off, and he let out a muffled snort, his ears rang non-stop, and he raised his distracted pupils in embarrassment to look at the tragic scene, with a blank expression:
"What's going on?"
All the soldiers rioted in an instant, injuring the guards out of thin air, and there was such a great power, just like magic, it was too shocking in this world, and the natives looked at Song Jing with palpitations.
"It's witchcraft!"
"It's a wizard, a wizard who makes deals with the devil"
"Run!"
The faces of the soldiers present were all earthy, and the extreme fear led to the collapse of the worldview, and finally some people couldn't help but run away.
The three farthest mercenaries threw down their spears and hurriedly fled through the city gate opposite Song Jing, while more and more people began to scramble to escape.
Monte, however, turned a blind eye, and looked at Song Jing's gaze in the fleeing crowd, aiming at Gus, who was waiting with his big sword raised on his side.
"Aren't you running away?" , Monte asked leisurely, his body at this time was very different from the undeveloped Gus, the huge, muscular body gave people a sense of absolute strength, and the shadow of despair seemed to cover Gus's whole person in reality and in his mind.
"I won't leave my back to the enemy," Gus said earnestly, but his hands trembling slightly with his broadsword.
"Smart choice" Monte said with an intriguing smile:
"You're good"
At this moment, the three mercenaries had already arrived at the city gate, and under the brilliant halo of light outside the gate, they were overjoyed, as if they were about to escape, and showed a comfortable smile, as if they had reached the Holy of Holies.
Zheng ββ!
A slender and faint cold light flashed, and in the eyes of the subsequent deserters, it was as if the heads of the three men had detached themselves, and the wound on their necks was as smooth as a mirror, and gradually began to gush out ominous blood.
Grunt, the three heads landed with a weird smile, making people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts, and they plopped, and the three headless corpses fell to the ground in turn.
There was silence in the castle, and the deserters near the gate froze in shock, and a figure gradually appeared in the shadow of the gate, leaning against the wall with his sword in his hands.
"Don't be afraid! He's just a man, do you have to face the devil behind you? A hundred people with a sword in his hand swallowed his saliva, trembling and spoke, fear made him have no choice, and encouraged the soldiers around him:
"Let's go together, there's still hope of escaping!"
The dozen or so deserters who were already near the city gate were just about to move, but as soon as they finished speaking, the mercenaries on the side of the hundred-man man only felt a slight breeze blowing.
"Chong-rush..." The hundred people who raised their swords opened their mouths wide, and their words were frozen in the last word.
'What', the mercenaries next to him just noticed the abnormality of a hundred people.
Poof, a frightened head slowly fell, and all the soldiers who realized it opened their mouths wide in astonishment, their hair standing on end.
The atmosphere of death was spreading, and the more than 1,000 people in the castle were terrified and lost their fighting spirit.
"How so?" , Viscount Maury, who was lying in a pool of blood, looked at this scene and felt distracted, he knew that the advantage of numbers here was no longer working.
Song Jing stood on the city wall and nodded silently, no matter what, now that the castle has been controlled by the people who have taken the lead, for everyone who has already experienced strengthening, it is possible to escape unless the warriors below are afraid to storm the city gate at the beginning.
Otherwise, when the leader is solved, under the contagion of fear, they can only obediently surrender and accept the arrangements of the reincarnations.
And yet, at this very moment-
"Get out of the ββ!" , a loud shout shook the hearts of the losers, and people woke up in horror. A swift figure with a ruthless look on his face rushed towards the empty city gate below Song Jing except for the corpse.
"It's... Gus? Viscount Maury looked up with difficulty, thinking of this fifteen-year-old boy who had always been different, and couldn't help muttering:
"If it's him, you can run away..."
He looked up at the people at the city gate, but Song Jing just looked thoughtfully at the galloping Gus, but did not move in the slightest.
Gus gritted his teeth and ran as if he had used the strength of his life, completely ignoring the constant pain of warning from all over his body, just to escape from the terrifying enemy here, and kept shouting in his heart:
'Hurry, hurry, hurry!' β
When Gus entered the cave of the city gate safe and sound, the people in the vicinity were also ready to move, and the idea that maybe the wizard no longer had the strength he had just now.
But a tall figure appeared in front of the city gate, and he calmly picked up the battle axe of the corpse on the ground, waved it with interest in one hand, and then coldly scanned the array in front of him, as if he were looking at a dead man.
The dozen or so soldiers were furious in their hearts when they looked at them, and they raised their swords and shields one after another, and were about to charge.
Peng ββ!
A raging fire actually rose out of thin air from the crowd of the array, and more than a dozen people were instantly caught in the flames, and the spear soldiers threw down their weapons in a panic, took off their helmets in a panic, jumped up and down, and rolled wildly on the dirt, begging to extinguish the flames.
"Water! Water! Water! β
"It's so hot! It's so hot! β
"Help meβ"
But there was nothing on the flat ground for them to save themselves, and it was useless to ask for help from others, and the soldiers around them retreated in fear, avoiding the torches of these figures.
Viscount Maury's godless pupils looked at the soldiers who were gradually no longer moving, the glowing red armor was like the shackles of punishment, the crazy distorted body, the painful and wailing face was undoubtedly the scene of hell, and he couldn't help muttering:
"Demons... Demons..."
