Chapter Fifty-Eight: Turning Away
In an unknown location near LC County, in a dark underground cave, Zhang Jiaming, our poor protagonist opened his misty eyes, looked around, vaguely and couldn't see clearly for a while, and then looked at his body, he still maintained the appearance of a werewolf, but his arms were fixed by iron chains - if it were normal, these things were not enough to see, and now their role is only to keep themselves in a half-kneeling position.
Can't get enough of it? Zhang Jiaming shook his body slightly, and a feeling of weakness penetrated his whole body, and the effect of wolf poison grass has not passed?
A pair of equipment that is often used for intravenous drips in the hospital not far from the side made Zhang Jiaming suddenly wake up, and the hose and needle were inserted into the thick blood vessels in his neck, no wonder the feeling of numbness in his bones was so imminent! Your sister actually injected a low-concentration wolf poison weed liquid into Lao Tzu's body in batches, and it was effective and cheap! This damn .... After a while, Zhang Jiaming noticed the approach of a figure.
"Can you see clearly? Tsk, you're the leader of the pack, you woke up earlier than I expected. The low, penetrating male voice made Zhang Jiaming raise his head and try to identify the man in front of him: "Don't worry, you will stay in this state for quite a long time, I promise!" ”
The visitor did not have the slightest intention of letting go of Zhang Jiaming, who was in a semi-comatose state: "Look at you, what has become of?" Monster? Hmph......"
"It's just a beast, they have long given up their desire to become human." The other voice was restless, it was a female voice, Zhang Jiaming remembered, Lingma, the black woman.
"The demons of the pit of hell, look at you, turned into a pathetic monster... Do you remember the terrible crimes you committed against the people of this land? The male voice continued to tease, "The time when your filthy fellows were here to be a blessing is over, and soon, a new era is coming, and humanity will always be the masters of this planet, not you demons cursed by my lord." ”
"We don't pity you with your life, but because you're still useful to us." Zhang Jiaming shook his head for a while before he recognized the person in front of him - it was Lord Edmund!
The Lord stood up and sat down at the round table, the small cave was very simple, but the sparrows were small and all kinds of torture instruments were placed. After drawing a shiny stabbing sword, the Lord began to wipe and maintain: "The medicinal properties of wolf poison grass will not make you unconscious, but you can't use your strength against us!" Hmph, for a thousand years, we have been hunting down demons scattered all over this world, we hunt the monsters that mortals fear the most, we mercilessly slaughter the nightmares that ordinary humans fear the most, and the more we kill, the more we can please our Lord God. Slowly flattening the blade of the good maintenance oil, the lord turned to Zhang Jiaming's direction: "This land is suffering from a catastrophe, although the priest cannot interpret God's will, but as God's right-hand man, we cannot sit still!" ”
"In the name of the Lord, we will exercise the teachings of the Holy Lord, and we will take up the heavy responsibility!" Lingma took over the conversation and said, "This land of suffering needs us, this is our mission, we will hunt demons as always, and more killings will glorify our Lord Christ!" ”
"And you, a heretic! A demon deserving of eternal curse banished to the lowest reaches of hell! The lord viciously pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Zhang Jiaming's thick throat: "Look at your animal-like appearance, look, how ugly, my family vows to remove all you ugly creatures, otherwise, you will never ascend to heaven!" Now, in addition to my two elder brothers, thousands of members of the Shabal family have passed away..... Our Lord's mission is calling us to come.... Monster ....."
"We hunt monsters like you, and we'll become the most terrible monsters in your nightmares!" Ling Ma's determined eyes stared at Zhang Jiaming firmly.
"I've got enough here, Timma, you go out and watch those newcomers, they need your guidance, don't be careless, this is the territory of these monsters!" Edmund withdrew his dagger and turned to look at his subordinates.
"Yes! My lord! With a look of great reverence, with a light bow, Lingma walked away with her weapon.
Edmund continued to pace, wandering around Zhang Jiaming: "Only God has the right to give eternal life to mortals!" And it is not the evil gods that you beasts worship, nor the vain and lowly beliefs of chaos, but you, the leader of this filthy heretic who do not believe in the teachings of our lord, your good days are coming to an end, and our Silver Hand will destroy all the heretical beliefs you have created with our own hands, and save the living creatures of this land once and for all! ”
While he was talking to himself triumphantly, a low explosion sound came from near the ground, followed by a series of vaguely discernible screams and brief fights, and the werewolf's keen ability did not make Zhang Jiaming miss these important information.
"Call the Lord, call the Lord, Holy Army! It's them, they're in! We need you here, please come and help! "The panicked shouting came from the intercom device worn by the Lord, and Edmund, who was still coaxing just now, his face sank, and he was actually discovered by someone who had no last resort, and even the location of his hiding place was exposed?" Please hurry up, the executive officer has been injured, and we can't support it! ”
"You're waiting here quietly, it's just a few traitors, and they can't make much of a storm!" Edmund, who had drawn his weapon, coldly checked the dosage of those wolf poison weeds, and jumped out of the crypt like wind under his feet.
"Ling! Obey the call of your master! "After confirming that no one is on duty here, Zhang Jiaming, who is in a semi-comatose state, slowly uses his psychic calling ability, and a thin shadow appears near this hidden crypt - the weakest female werewolf of the Night Hunter, Zhang Jiaming's last reliance! It is precisely because of her weakness that she was left by Caifeng as a reserve, in fact, according to the standards of werewolves, this female werewolf is too thin, and even her size is more than half smaller than that of a normal werewolf, a serious dwarf werewolf..... The price of the peculiar body shape is the super-high agility, and the same is true for the zombie's type I, which is even more powerful when converted to the werewolf.
On the surface, the two factions are fighting fiercely!
The elite Ash Knights in heavy armor tightly pressed and compressed the Silver Hand Warband, which did not have much armor, and they were all strong men who had won many battles, and their moves were also deadly! The ash knight is headed by no one else, it is the Grand Master Zhou Hua, at this moment he is wearing shiny full-body knight armor, wielding a heavy sword, the first to lead the charge, and launched a frenzied slashing against the dense crowd in front of him, the heavy sword is not skillful, in front of his mutated strange power, no silver-handed warrior can hold up a move and a half, as long as a little contact, that is to meet death, next to death, a large number of silver-handed warriors fell to the ground and died under his poisonous slashing, The ash knights who followed closely were also brutal to the extreme, they were originally wrapped in heavy armor and they were a humanoid tank, with the support of huge forces, they were simply immortals blocking immortals, and the Buddha was the evil god of destroying Buddhas! The one-colored Morning Star Hammer and mace were their most handy weapons, and with a chilling blood-colored flame in their eyes, they followed in the footsteps of the Grand Master and launched a bloody slaughter against the silver-handed warriors gathered together with the ants in front of them! The ash knight who stretched out the queue only needed to wave his weapon slightly, and the dense enemy formation in front of him would be smashed open a huge hole in an instant, and the flesh and blood would be scattered all over the sky in an instant within the enemy's panicked vision, and countless organs and blood would spread and fly in the boundary here, bursting out and blooming in the two queues that were constantly rubbing together! Silver Hands, these elite demon slayer warriors died tragically without preparation, and no one could stop the ferocious attack of these terrible knights in front of them.
Looking down from the air, the queue of the blue armor representing the silver hand has become thinner and thinner, and the silver heavy armor of the ash knights who followed has completely controlled all the paths that the silver hand war group can escape, and like a giant snake tightly entangled with frogs, it has begun to tighten the strangulation and encirclement, ready to engulf the enemy in one bite!
"Stop !!" The clamor of the arms exchange occupied the eardrums of almost all the warring parties, but a roar so majestic that everyone couldn't help but stop broke out! Edmund appeared, and he stood on the high platform of the cave without being angry, holding a shiny metal sign, and at the same time, where he swept majestically, all the silver-handed warriors could not help but be stunned, and then they all put away their weapons and saluted quietly to the terrace: "In the name of my lord, in the name of the Council of the Supreme Church, and the authority of the late High Inquisitor of the Holy Legion, I command you, warriors of the Holy Lord, to stop killing each other! All the ash knights who stopped were also stunned, and they also saw clearly that the metal object was a symbol of the power of the Grand Inquisitor - ordinary people did not know the distribution of power in the Holy Sect Army: the Grand Master carried out the command of the legion's operations, the Grand Inquisitor carried out the power of counter-espionage and the trial of criminals, and the Grand Master was responsible for civil affairs and education, although the Grand Master was the nominal supreme commander, but in some major issues, such as Zhang Jiaming's meritorious promotion, the three high-ranking officials had to be present together, in order to complete the final promotion process! Well, now Edmund actually holds the Grand Inquisitor's power mark, the Inquisitor's Seal! Then, as the original rule of the Holy Cult Army, you must not attack the Grand Inquisitor and the guards to which he belongs! Unless the other party has defected!
The expressions of the Ash Knights under the helmets could not be seen by others, but they quickly expressed their respect for the late Grand Inquisitor and the current Grand Inquisitor with their actions, and immediately gave up the attack, put away the murder weapons and neatly re-lined up, and took three steps back, looking at their leader, Grand Master Zhou Hua.
The silent battlefield made the almost bloodied Silver Hand tremble, under the protection of the heavy and perverted armor, none of the Ash Knights were injured, let alone death, and there were almost no more than 300 people left in the Far East Branch of the Silver Hand, even if they were alive, they were almost all wounded! The remnants of the Silver Hands who were holding each other up looked at the cold-blooded killing machines opposite, the Ash Knights, with mixed eyes of fear, hatred, and the joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe! It's a big horror, it's just a short five minutes, and he actually used cold weapons, so he almost wiped out all the elite silver hands, this is against humans, if it's against brainless zombies? How terrifying will these terror warriors be? The Silver Hands are no longer able to imagine.
"The famous army general is not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid the white robes...... "He whispered the words of the East, first looking at the knights in the intimidating tall silver-white armor, and then looking down at the men lying in a pool of blood wailing and screaming, Edmund's face was solemn, and the ugly gray shrouded the lord's face.
"Templar Brotherhood in the Far East, have you decided to turn away from the teachings of our Lord and turn to heresy once and for all?" Edmund had no intention of giving up his last effort, he wanted to suppress the other party's authority first.
"Here, there is no will of the Holy Lord, only a megalomaniac and conspirator who are trying to split our Holy Cult Army!" Holding the huge long sword in both hands, Zhou Hua raised his head and locked onto Edmund with a cold and terrifying gaze - that undisguised hostility that Edmund couldn't ignore. "I've never heard of any Templar Supreme Council, nor have I received the slightest bit of help from the so-called Council! Brothers, look, the man on the platform claims to represent our Lord, so how can he prove that you are the representative of our Lord! ”
Edmund was speechless.
"You call us heretics, could it be that those zombies out there were exterminated by you guys? You claim to represent God, why doesn't God come out and testify for you? Zhou Hua asked loudly, but Edmund still couldn't answer: "In fact, it was we who single-handedly laid down the current good situation, and you, a guy of unknown origin and ill intentions, relied on the grand judge who knew us, and shamelessly stole his power symbol!" Ash Knights, Inquisitors, obey orders! The sword was unsheathed and pointed once more at the remaining silver hands in front of them, and at the same time, a look of despair filled the faces of the poor fellows.
The Ash Knights took a steady step forward, their heavy weapons raised again, and with a final blow, the few Silver Hand warriors were all crushed to dust!
"In the name of the Holy Lord! The killing is just around the corner, and I'm innocent! Closing his eyes tightly for a while, Edmund, who opened his eyes again, quickly drew his weapon, with a sad and angry face, he could have retreated in this situation, but he couldn't sit back and watch his subordinates be killed, even if he fought for his life, he had to save his subordinates, this was his consistent personal principle, and it was also the reason why his subordinates respected him so much!
Like a harrier eagle swooping down from the sky, with a fearless momentum, Edmund, the master of the silver hand masters, the high-ranking executive, jumped down from the high platform, and two cold swords also appeared in his hands, without regret or hesitation, his goal was directly aimed at the location of the Grand Master!
A trace of cold light flashed through the eyes of the Grand Master, and he was extremely calm, and he immediately put on a standard sword receiving posture, he knew that the other party was here to fight hard, just like the besieged female beast, the opponent's first round of attack must be extremely fast and dangerous!
In the blink of an eye, with an invincible rage, Edmund's dual swords are from far and near, Edmund, who has been immersed in swordsmanship for thousands of years, is definitely a master among the melee masters, and countless killings have added more experience to him. The double stabbing sword, just a single sword can make an ordinary swordsman's opponent have a headache when he looks at it, two at a time, that is comparable to the skill of Miyamoto Musashi's old rascal! In Edmund's hands, the two swords turned into snowflakes in the sky just before they could engage the enemy, and the best weapons in a one-on-one duel were so sharp! Countless points of light can directly dazzle the other party's eyes while flashing, making the other party make a wrong judgment, and then lose, and finally get hit.
As soon as Edmund came up, he didn't plan to let go of the other party, and directly used a trick!
Zhou Hua is not a weak chicken, but his experience is obviously inferior to that of the other party, especially swordsmanship! Just like Zhang Jiaming, if it weren't for the power of mutation, Zhou Hua would definitely not be able to stand up in front of Edmund for even a round! The situation has become the same as when Zhang Jiaming met the large hamster.....
In the face of sword moves like a storm, the Grand Master could only take a defensive position, keep moving his body, and use the big sword in his hand to block the opponent for himself. And Edmund doesn't seem to be able to succeed for a while, so he can only hate to maintain a high-density offensive posture and keep compressing the opponent's defensive area! The stabbing sword and the heavy sword all made a unique sound of metal collision in the high-intensity confrontation, and the hissing sound seemed to have one side about to burst, so that the ash knights watching the battle next to them did not dare to step forward to help at will - the Grand Master was arrogant, and one-on-one combat was a critical moment to show his strength, and you little soldiers would just watch the show! Besides, now that the situation has been decided, it is a bit of a victory to go forward and beat each other, and the glorious education of the Ash Knights is also explained, so the scene has become much weirder, on the one hand, the wounded Silver Hands have quietly withdrawn under the cover of their own leader, and a group of Ash Knights with knightly dreams are watching their Grand Master's personal martial arts show there...... It's okay to say that he was pressed and beaten.
