Book 1: Believers of Light Chapter 64: Bloody Battle

War is only a solution, right or wrong, to the victors or the losers. When faced with an existential dilemma, when one race wags war against another, who is right and who is wrong?

Standing on the wall, Tom slashed a somewhat emaciated barbarian off the wall with his sword, and suddenly thought of the question. In the perception of the people of the kingdom, the barbarians are filthy and disgusting creatures, they are simply the most disgusting animals on the continent of Elda, creatures that even the gods cannot redeem.

But on the face of the emaciated savage boy who had just been cut down by himself, it was evident that Tom was eager and reluctant to live, not as unbearable as people said. "Tom be careful. Tom felt a vicious wind blowing above his head, and looked up to see that a savage wanted to kill his distracted self, but fortunately old John stopped him and killed him.

After saving Tom, Old John reprimanded, "What's the matter? How dare you get distracted in the middle of the battle and lose your life?" I didn't eat enough last night, so I was a little hungry and panicked. Tom had to prevaricate with a reason, otherwise old John's temper would have been able to scold himself for a few days. "You're pushing too that woman's belly, aren't you?" Old John, of course, didn't eat this set, and directly exposed it. Tom smiled awkwardly.

Viscount Gates stood in the fortress of the city wall and watched the battle at the head of the wall, his brow furrowed. If this is a complete waste of manpower, it is impossible to break through Little Rock City, even if the small stone city wall is weak.

"My lord, there is news from the royal capital. The herald ran to Viscount Gates and reported. "How's it going, are reinforcements coming?" Gates said hurriedly. "I'm sorry, my lord, Wang Du said that because of the outbreak of corpse poison, reinforcements are needed in many places along the border, and there are no extra troops to reinforce Little Rock. ”

Viscount Gates felt as if he had been hit hard in the head, and his head was confused. Without reinforcements, Little Rock would have been breached by the barbarians sooner or later. No, I can't die here, I'm a nobleman, how can I die here and be caught by filthy barbarians.

Feeling desperate, Viscount Gates called his attendant and said, "Quick, go and prepare the horses." Get my family out of town now, and we're going to Port Surham. Hurry!"

The attendant was stunned for a moment when he heard Viscount Gates's words, and then came back to his senses and said to the mage Hogg beside him: "Master Mage, don't stay here, the king won't send reinforcements over, and Little Rock has only a dead end." Your Excellency, you can run away with me. As long as we get to Port Surdock, then we are safe. When the time comes, the Knights of the Wind can be asked to save the rest. ”

The mage Hogg looked at Viscount Gates, who had lost his mind, and sighed in his heart, if the city of Thurhaven can support Little Rock, then why wait for the army of the royal capital now? If you die in the city, you may still be honored after death, but if you run away now, I am afraid that you will become a scapegoat for the destruction of the city, and it is only a few more days to live.

"Lord Viscount, someone must stay behind to contain the barbarians' onslaught. If you want to go to Safeport to find helpers, then you are willing to help you get out of Little Rock. Hogdow.

"Really? That's so grateful to Master Hogg. Viscount Gates didn't notice the mockery and pity in Hogg's eyes, and now he only wanted to live.

"In that case, let's hurry up, I hope you will bring the rescue back soon. Hogg made a gesture of please.

"Good, good. "Viscount Gates called his attendants and walked down the walled castle.

"Teacher, if Viscount Gates escapes without permission, then it will definitely shake the morale of the Little Rock army, and won't it be even more difficult for us to defend?" asked Jace, Hogg's apprentice. "Even if someone like Viscount Gates stays in Little Rock, it will only disturb the morale of the military. It is better to let them out of the city to attract the fire of the barbarians. Besides, Little Rock can't hold it at all, Jace, you go back to my institute and bring the box that I put in the desk, if you can't directly kill the chief sacrifice and the other characters on the other side, then we can only wait for death. ”

On the city wall, Old John and Tom no longer knew that they had repelled the first waves of barbarian attacks, and there were fewer and fewer comrades-in-arms around them, but there were more and more corpses lying on the ground, both defenders and barbarians.

Once again, the barbarians, who had been repulsed, halted their attack for a moment, and Old John and Tom could rest for a while with their backs to the wall. Throwing the knife directly to the ground, Old John looked at his trembling hands and said with a smile: "Sooner or later, if you are not hacked to death by those barbarians, you will be exhausted to death by them." "Old John, you mean the barbarians squeezed you dry?" said Tom teasingly. "Stinky boy, you dare to make a joke about Uncle Ben, when Lao Tzu was playing with your mother, you weren't born yet. Old John smiled and patted Tom on the head, then looked up at the still blue sky and recalled, "Barbarian girls are really wild, and those big butts can break your waist." Boy, don't look for those delicate girls every day in the future, if you want to be a man, you can go to the barbarian girls, you know?"

"Old John, you've been to a lot of barbarians, and I didn't see you bring one back. Every day I know to brag. Tom pouted.

"Hey, stinky boy, what are you talking about? Lao Tzu didn't bring it back because Lao Tzu was a nobleman and wanted to marry a noble lady as his wife. Old John slapped Tom on the head again.

"Old John, are you still a nobleman, and you still want to marry a noble lady, then am I not Your Majesty the Kingdom?" all laughed when they heard it.

"Go, go, let Lao Tzu get aside and play, you know what. Old John got up, then turned and unbuckled his trousers, and whistled happily as a stream of orange-yellow liquid shot into the walls.

"Hehe, I said old John, can't you find a place to pee? What do you mean next to me?" The splash of fishy liquid hit Tom's side, Tom moved to the side angrily, and then stretched out his leg to give Old John a kick, but Old John fell straight down, looking at the arrow shaking in Old John's eyes, Tom was stunned.

"The barbarians attacked. With a heart-rending shout, a sky of flying feathers covered the sky over Little Rock.

Squatting down and hiding behind the city wall, Tom didn't look at the dead old Tom again, the comrade-in-arms who was still talking and laughing with you one second, died in the next second, such a scene, Tom has seen a lot, and his heart has been numb. Now he only cares about whether he can survive today.

"Quick, go to the Western Wall, which has been breached, and now we need to get rid of the barbarians. The commander's roar reverberated on the city walls, one for support and the other for resisting. Tom leaned his back against the wall and let out a sneer.

"Tom, why don't our mages take action yet, are they afraid that the barbarians will not dare to come out and hide in the room to pee their pants?" Tom glanced at Hank, who was sitting next to him, and said, "What do you do with the mages, what is your turn to do with this little minion who doesn't know if he can survive tomorrow?" that leisure, it's better to find a way to kill a few more barbarians, so that I can live." After saying the last sentence, Tom grabbed the long sword and stabbed it above his head, and before the scimitar in the hand of a barbarian who had just climbed the city wall could be swung down, Tom stabbed him in the chest, "Fuck your mother, Tom, I must live a few days longer than you, and I will definitely collect your body at that time." Hank dodged the brute's scimitar, and slashed into the barbarian's neck.

"Hehe, then it depends on who lives longer and kills more. ”

After a moment of silence, the walls became full of murderous voices, blood and severed limbs flying together, and shouts and wails mingled into one color.

"Teacher. Sweating profusely, Jace handed over the iron box he took back from the institute to Hogg, looking at the familiar iron box, the corners of Hogg's eyes flashed with pain, but there was no way to survive, these things outside the body had to give up. "Jace, you go and call the captain of the garrison. "Yes, teacher. ”

Gently placing the tin box on the table, Hogg opened the tin box, and a dazzling light came out of the tin box, so that Hogg had to cover his eyes with his hands.

"What is this, Master Hogg?" asked Echo, who had been called over by Apprentice Jace, curiously. "A magic crystal, the key to turning defeat into victory. Closing the tin box again, Hogg turned to the garrison commander Eco and said, "My lord, please prepare a team, I need their help." ”

"Master Hogg, what do you need manpower to do now? To tell you the truth, the city wall has been breached by barbarians in many places, and just now Lord Gates has also taken away some troops, if Lord Hogg takes another part of your troops at this time, then Little Rock will be breached. Aiko said with some embarrassment.

"Lord Garrison, I know what you say is true, but what I'm going to do now is help us turn defeat into victory. As long as you send a team of elite soldiers to help me get close to the center of the barbarians, then rely on this light crystal in my hand, and this war will be our victory. Hogg explained.

Echo looked at Hogg suspiciously, hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you are willing to risk your life, then I will not stop you." However, there is too much manpower for me to muster up, after all, it is now difficult to work everywhere on the city wall. ”

"No problem, just thirty men to help me attract the attention of the barbarian troops. Master Hogg replied.

"Okay, then I'll go and lend the soldiers to you now. With that, Guard Echo walked out of the room.

"Teacher, there are only thirty of them, can we rush to the center of the barbarian army?" Jace said with some concern.

"Of course not, I don't want those thirty to do anything. I just hope it can help me stall a little bit so that I can cast my magic. I'm not very skilled at this magic, so I'll need to go outside the city to unleash it just in case of an accident. If it fails, it will also be able to deal damage to the Barbarian army. Hogg's words were flat, as if it weren't himself or the thirty people who were in danger for a while.

"Teacher!" Jace shouted in a panic.

"Jace, don't worry, since I chose to do this, of course I can return. You can rest assured. With that, Hogg took the tin box into his arms and walked out of the room.

At this moment, on the city wall, Tom's wall has repelled a new wave of attacking barbarians, while the other walls are still fighting hard. Looking at the barbarian team that had no intention of retreating, Tom was a little frustrated, and it seemed that he was going to confess here today.
