The matter was urgent, and the people could not stay too long in the area where the enemy would be reinforced at any time, and after collecting some of the corpses of the soldiers, which were still intact, the rest of the soldiers who had become fragments were all collected and moved to an open space, and a large pile of firewood was piled up with them. The latest and fastest updates
Niu Keshen was holding a torch, he should have been an iron-blooded tough guy, his mood at the moment was extremely complicated, the blood stains on his face had not yet been removed, he just looked at the mutilated corpses fixedly, just looked at it, as if he would lose something important if he looked at it less, but in it, there were his cronies and brothers who had fought many times, and 120 of the best soldiers, including his guards, and now, they were all part of the corpse pile. Niu Keshen's nose began to pantothenic, although there was no one of his subordinates alive in the crowd here, but as the head of the regiment, he couldn't shed tears even if he had tears. "Father in heaven, please take these wretched children and let their souls rest forever, Amen!" Christopher stood in front of the hill-like pile of corpses, with a sad expression on his face that was not weaker than that of the ox gentry, and after a prayer, he turned around and said to the cow very solemnly: "They deserve a decent burial, and not burn it to the pagan gods like the ancient pagans!" Our Lord teaches us that all the dead must be guarded by the cross until the Last Judgment, Captain Niu, do you understand the Lord's teachings? Niu Keshen handed the torch to the cavalry warriors on the side, silently bowed his head, suddenly, he straightened up, just knelt in front of the priest, slowly, as if he had exerted all his strength, Niu Keshen raised his head and looked directly at the priest: "Can I get God's blessing?" Father? The priest did not answer him immediately, turned his head again, looked at the pile of corpses over there, spread out his palms, looked up at the sky with a reverent face, and then lowered his head and kindly asked Niu Caog: "The will of the Lord cannot be fathomed by mortals, and I, as a servant of the Lord, dare not pretend to know his holy will!" The ox grew with long eyes, choked up, and asked, "You are the closest person to the Lord, and you have no way of knowing what he thinks?" Then we, ordinary people with mortal eyes, can ,,,,," "Don't blaspheme the Holy Lord!" Cow Gentry! The priest's face became solemn, for the first time, even the guards in front of him couldn't help but take a few steps back, they had never thought that a person who was usually so gentle could be so imposing when he became majestic! Niu Caoshen was the closest, and naturally he was the most affected person, and he was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and he actually forgot that he was the Grand Master above a thousand people! "I'm guilty, I'm guilty! Father, please forgive me for being a rough man. Christopher stood for a long time, but his mouth was not idle, but he muttered a prayer for requiem. You should ask God for forgiveness, not me. The priest couldn't bear to look at the corpse in front of him anymore, and lowered his head, "Look at me, Niu Keshen, I know, my previous teachings to you were not in vain, look at those children, they, if they hadn't come to protect me, if you hadn't come with the camp, if it weren't for the apostles' men, we might have been killed by those wicked people a long time ago, do you know what I mean?" Niu Keshen chewed on Mr. Priest's words blankly, and after a while, he nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream: "What do you mean?" Christopher's style is once again perfectly interpreted: "This is the Lord's will!" Cow Gentry! Let me ask you again, have you been converted? The priest's blazing eyes stared at the cow like hypnosis, which made the latter tremble uneasily, and under that strange coercion--- Christopher insisted that it was the favor of God!" A rough man like me! A rough man like me,,,," His lips pursed, as if he didn't believe it, but the eyes of a cow don't deceive, and there was a slight extra longing, which Christopher naturally saw in his eyes. "In God's eyes, there is no distinction between a king and a beggar! Only their souls are noble and low! At the moment when the proverb was spoken, the priest's face was so solemn that all the soldiers, including Fred, knelt down reverently, folded their hands, respectfully placed them on their chests, and bowed their heads humbly. The cow gentry was even more grateful, and a lot of tears flowed from his eyes, and he knelt down a few steps, gently grasped the wooden cross handed by the priest, and kissed it.
With the lesson of the previous ambush, Fred, who led the team, became more cautious, not only changed the original route of travel--- from the main road to a more secluded small country road, and summoned half of the team's cavalry to accompany him, this time, in the flat area, there was no more suspicious enemy.
The speed of the mutated horses is extremely fast, and before the sky dawns, the H outpost in R County has already been seen, which means that the enemy will never have a chance to attack this team again, and the outpost is a Praetorian Guard team with elite firepower! Fred breathed a sigh of relief, and signaled the horse team to slow down, and its uniform pace was ready to be inspected by the outpost, this is an emergency military order recently issued, even the brigade commander Qin Gengsheng must be inspected when he comes, otherwise he will not be allowed to pass! The priest's face was solemn, Niu Keshen had already returned to the front line under the escort of another team of soldiers, and he took the initiative to take over the task of reporting the enemy's situation, how should he talk to the big leader? Will that new idea in his heart be fully supported by him? In this cruel living environment, after the priest experienced too many terrible things, gradually, his mood began to change, he has realized that he can't completely rely on Zhang Jiaming to protect himself, this idea has never been so strong before, but after seeing the brutality of zombies without humanity, the bloody and unsympathetic struggle for power and profit of human beings, this priest with mercy as his motto has completely abandoned the concept of the past, and he wants to control the fate of those who trust him! Thinking about his thoughts, the war horse had already humped him to the gate of the inspection, a makeshift iron gate, lined with reinforced cement pillboxes, and on both sides of the pillbox were dense wire rope loops and iron thorn stakes, whether it was dealing with zombies or humans, these things always had their unique use, in the pillbox and the nearby sand fortifications, a machine gun was pointed downward, and a pair of vigilant eyes were looking at the team below. The main gate is a horse made of six rows of thick wooden stumps, but it is covered with blood, and there are several zombie corpses hanging on the stakes near the periphery, it can be seen that there are always some sporadic visitors to this outpost every day, most of the zombie groups around R County have been wiped out, and a small number can only rely on instinct to continue to sway, of course, if you want to get close to the safe area of R County, they have to pass more than this level. "Stop! By order of the Grand Chief, all troops, regardless of rank, must be inspected! This is where the 1st Battalion of the Praetorian Guard is stationed! The horse team in front of you will immediately report your identity and intention! A Zhuang officer wearing the emblem of the Zhongzi battalion appeared at the gate, followed by two huge wolf dogs, and no guards followed. This is a symbol of the arrogance of Zhang Jiaming's forces, only those generals who are trusted by the big leaders will be equipped with exclusive guard dogs, and those ordinary officers rarely have this kind of honor. With the officer's shout, the six earthen cannons also turned their muzzles, and the cold barrels were all aimed at the horse team, as long as one was wrong, the soldiers who operated the cannons would not be soft, at this distance, even if it was an earthen cannon, the power was enough for the people below to drink a pot. "Stop!" Despite the displeasure in his heart, Fred still had to follow the rules! He stood up on his horse and raised his left hand high! The whole team immediately stopped neatly and waited quietly for their fate.
"R County Cavalry Regiment Commander Fred, the Tie Cavalry Regiment has returned from completing the mission, and is now preparing to report the mission to the big leader! Which brother is leading the team in front? If there is no doubt, please let it go immediately! Holding his breath, Fred roared out what he had done.
"It's correct, it's the head of R County, and I'm allowed to enter the customs!" After a long time, the officer above shouted reassuringly, "Commander Fred, it's not the brother troops who are making things difficult, but the big leader has a strict order to come down, and we just act according to the order!" There is something to offend! Please bear with me! "The battalion commander of the Praetorian Guard Regiment above is also a well-behaved person, and an explanation made the angry Fred and a cadre of cavalry soldiers feel a lot more comfortable, is it no wonder that the one who was selected as a cavalry is not the best in the soldier group, and the one who does not make a lot of military achievements? In their eyes, the soldiers of the Guards are a little higher than them, so what is the turn of these pampered Praetorian Guards to see them? Privately, the cavalry regiment and other infantry units all call the Praetorian Guard the Niangniang Army, because after the reconquest of R County, this unit has not been in battle, but because of the identity of the forbidden army, it can always be the first to change clothes every time the equipment is updated! And the cavalry team, which is tired all day long, still relies on Fred's prestige to snatch a lot of AKM weapons from the infantry regiment, for this matter, Fred has quarreled with Wei Xiancai and Xie Hui, the two regiment commanders, except for Niu Keshen of the fourth regiment, Fred has almost offended all the regiment commanders who can be offended! The cavalry of the brigade formed four columns and trotted into the city. By the time all the cavalry regiment soldiers had entered the safe area on the outskirts of R County, the whole day had already dawned, but after only three days, the priest felt that he had begun to know the city at a time, and the villagers who came and went hung their heads and did not speak loudly or greet each other, all of them trotted hurriedly, as if something was chasing them behind them, and the children were not playing in the streets, and the whole street was patrolled by groups of armed militiamen, and the city was oppressed by a strong handIn the same way, even those stronger women are helping to pull the steel wire ropes that have just been braided, and they are focusing on processing new obstacles with steel tongs, and then at the signal of the men on the side, the truncated steel wires are assembled on top of those deadly traps, and several other migrant workers are erecting power grid lines at high places, and a generator set of the FS hydropower station has been put into operation. Although the power supply is a little less, it is enough to make a defense network layer for electric shocks, as long as this defense facility is used, I am afraid that no amount of zombies will be enough to see. Looking at the dense silk webs, Mr. Priest had the illusion of entering a spider's nest.
"Is the whole city going to be arranged like this?" He looked inquiringly at Yan Wanshan, who was also watching the construction of these fortifications intently, "Mr. Father Hui, yes, we have received information, recently, there are an astonishing number of zombie groups that have bypassed our defensive zone without knowing it, and have begun to march towards R County, and the scale of this corpse tide is hundreds of times larger than the previous ones!" Lowering his voice, the monkey patiently explained to the priest that the priest is one of the most trusted people of the big chief, he knows how to deal with this news after knowing it, Christopher is surprisingly calm, no matter how bad the news is, it is not bad news for him, he has long known his position, but he has not given too many opportunities to understand the situation, he already has his own plans in his heart, and now, it is the critical moment of implementation, he must get the conditions he wants!
On the way to the barracks, Christopher and Yan Wanshan walked side by side, and the two guards followed closely.
"May the Lord bless R County, and may the Lord bless the Apostle Mr. Zhang!" Drawing a cross, the priest bowed his head and muttered, "Then, when can I meet with the Grand Chief, I have important matters to discuss with him at once!" Please arrange it for me, please! "Christopher has long seen that the monkey is not a simple person, that general has the ability to win so much trust with a big leader of a party who has never met before? Become a front-line deputy commander? And have the power to enter the big chief's tent at will? "This ,,,," the monkey groaned with a difficult face, not knowing how to answer for a while. "But what's the hard thing?" The priest asked in a little surprise, and in his eagerness to realize his idea, he did not care for the etiquette for a while, and grabbed the monkey by the collar a little rudely. "Ah, Mr. Priest!" The monkey was taken aback by Christopher's overreaction, the two guards werewolves saw that something was wrong, and they were about to step forward with a low roar, Christopher glared back at the werewolf without fear, now it's okay, neither of them can be offended, the fight between the high-level leaders, these guards are not easy to help who and who doesn't help! At most, they could only turn their heads to avoid suspicion, and the two wolf cubs retracted their wolf claws and obediently walked to the side, "Hurry up, Mr. Strategist, my affairs can't be delayed for a moment!" This is also a major event related to the lives of tens of thousands of people in R County! You arranged it for me, otherwise, I ,,,, my ,,," Honest people are usually not terrible, what is terrible is the stunned energy when they are angry, the monkey's already small body, that can withstand the shaking of the tall priest. "Put it down, put it down, I'm almost out of breath,,, uh,,, uh" The monkey's face was a little pale, and if it continued like this, it was estimated that he would really die at the hands of the priest, Christopher was startled, and let go of his hand under the gaze of the werewolf, watching the monkey fall to the ground, and he couldn't stop panting, and the priest's face suddenly became extremely pale: "God, what am I doing!" He panicked and sat back, and the two werewolves hurried forward to see if the monkey division was in trouble. Thankfully, nothing happened to either of them.
"Master Yan, I ,,,, I really didn't mean to." The priest, who had recovered a little, stood up and apologized to the monkey again and again, "No, no, I also know that Mr. Priest cares about the R County and Township Party." "The monkey has finally managed to breathe, no, he is drinking two sips of water to make himself more comfortable." Mr. Priest, there are no outsiders here, so I'll be blunt, I'm afraid you won't see the big chief! Looking at Yan Wanshan's constricted brows, an ominous premonition came to Christopher's heart, and he couldn't help but take a few steps, and his cannibalistic expression resurfaced again, compared to those zombies outside, I don't know how hideous it is? Frightened, the cup in the monkey's hand fell to the ground, and he quickly covered his neck first, and the experience of being pinched in front of him almost made him choke enough! The guards took action this time, and they quickly stood between the two to stop the priest from moving further.
"You've always misunderstood what I meant." The monkey motioned for the two guards to go out and stand on guard, "You can see the big chief, but I'm afraid he won't be able to hear you!" A dark cloud appeared on the priest's face, a sadness that had not been seen in a long time, "Gracious Lord, are you going to forsake us?" Sadly, Christopher stumbled a few steps, as if he had exhausted his strength to feed, and barely hugged the tall flagpole standing in the station, on which was the wolf-headed banner of the Praetorian Guard, "Zhu Weihong!" Zhu Weihong! Where are you? This time, the priest's voice was crying, surrounded by troops composed of young people and children of the Han family, there were almost no believers inside, hearing this earth-shattering news, the priest felt that the mountain in his heart had completely collapsed, who else could he believe? Who else could he rely on? The priest's mutation attracted everyone's attention, and several officers began to walk here with their troops, "All back to their posts, none of your business!" "Yan Wanshan gave a serious order, and the forbidden army received the order, so he had to leave in a huff." Mr. Father, you don't have to be so sad, the big chief is only temporarily not in charge, he is still resting in the camp in front, if you can be patient,,,, "Smack, the monkey will eat a solid slap, if the old man God is present, he will definitely be frightened by the priest's face comparable to Satan! "Did you just say human words! You almost made me think that the big leader was dead,,,," The monkey reacted quickly, and before the priest could say the following words, he quickly covered his mouth! "There are so many people here! Father, do you want to kill us! The monkey's expression rarely became hideous, and Christopher slowly calmed down, "Next time, don't say such ambiguous words again, my heart can't bear it, you are the great leader's trusted military advisor." "It was my mistake, Mr. Priest, but you were too excited." "Can I not get excited? The big leader is a family member of R County, thousands of families are happy, okay, okay, don't say much, I'm also at fault, in the mountains, the death of those warriors has made my nerves tense all the time, I always feel that I have to do something! I can't stay in that prayer hall any longer, the outside world, the outside world, the way of the outside world, has changed,,,,, everything has changed,,," The priest said to himself, as if to justify his previous actions, "Take me, I want to see the Great Chief, let me go and meet him!" He turned his head and said to the monkey earnestly, "This is what you asked?" Yan Wanshan looked at him fixedly.
