Volume IV The Clash of Light and Darkness One hundred and forty-nine, an all-out declaration of war

Minter casually threw the ice sword over, and the beast took a beating, stopped moving, turned its head in his direction, and its two large eyes began to become bloodshot

Minter felt that his feet were a little weak, took a deep breath, and whispered to the merchant, "Hurry up, Ai, hurry up!" ”

But the merchant was slumped there, motionless, staring blankly at the monster in front of him, trembling all over, and the people who had been talking to him had already fled with rolling and crawling, and the pedestrians around him were screaming and scrambling to dodge, and the shop closed with a bang

As soon as Minter stomped his foot, he threw a fireball at the beast, burning its heart, and roared, and when it lunged at him, he immediately turned and ran, shouting all the way, "Go away!" "All the way in the direction of the West End

It's too far from the entrance to the town, but it's close to the West Side, and since the evacuation of the Van and Argentine inhabitants in large numbers, there are only a few people left, and then the Noga army expelled them, and now that the war has just passed, and those people haven't had time to move back, it should still be empty

Minter ran past the streets of the central district, where the pedestrians were screaming and scattering, but he could only stubbornly move forward, but the monster chased after him, but suddenly slowed down, and became interested in a shop on the side of the road, he shook his head and walked over, and with a wave of his claw, broke the door, revealing two children hiding behind the door, and the children cried and hugged each other in fear

As soon as Minter heard the cry, he immediately turned his head to see what was going on, and was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly threw an ice sword over, and the tip of the sword poked at the head of the monster, and it turned its head and glared at him, but it was a few steps closer to the child, and Mint couldn't care so much anymore, and hurriedly threw a few fireballs on its head, and caught a glimpse of a few jars of oil on the side of the road, and when he picked it up, he threw it on it, and lit a fire by the way, but before the fire was lit, the monster pounced on him in a rage, and ran after him again

He tried his best to escape, and finally arrived in the West District, the streets here were really deserted, and he couldn't see a single person, when he was on a reconnaissance mission a few days ago, he had known the terrain in this area, and he was quite familiar, and he turned left and right along the main road and alley, and soon led the demonic beast into a long dead alley

This alley is lined with three-story buildings, with high brick walls, only a few small breathable windows on the second and third floors, and a family's backyard fence at the end of the alley, with some miscellaneous items in the corners, broken wooden chairs, brooms, rattan baskets, and so on

Minte quickly ran into the alley, and when he turned around, he saw the monster waving a big claw and followed in, so he sped up, with the help of momentum, stepped on the wall at the end of the alley, and used the light skills taught by his grandfather plus the climbing technique he learned from the Security Department, using both hands and feet, plus a sharp dagger to finally climb the wall, and when he looked back, the monster had reached his feet, roaring dissatisfiedly, jumping upward, but unfortunately he could only jump to the position on the second floor

Minter shrank his feet and immediately performed a ground movement spell at the entrance of the alley, building an earthen wall as high as a small building, blocking the monster in the alley, and then finding some flammable debris from the roof of the nearby resident's house and throwing it in, lighting a fire

The monster was stained with oil and scurryed around at the bottom of the alley to avoid the fire, and Mint felt that it didn't seem to have seen the earth monster before, so he boldly threw a few more fireballs over, but unfortunately the space in the alley was too large, and the monster could easily dodge the flames, in order to escape, it began to fight the small window on the second floor, and kept jumping up, smashing the bowl on the window with a big claw, and wanted to get in through the window

Seeing this, Minter was furious, and then pushed the earth wall more than ten meters into the earth wall with the earth manipulation, forcing the monster away from the window, but the latter was obviously proficient, poked his feet and claws into the earth wall, and then climbed up with his strength, but his body was heavy, and it seemed to be a little weak

Minter was frightened, but kept throwing fireballs, and as soon as the monster flicked its tail, it threw the unburned debris in the corner, and Minter hurriedly dodged it, and he was still hit twice

At this moment, suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky and smashed on the head of the demonic beast, its head was dizzy, and it fell to the ground again, and then a larger black shadow flew over and smashed it, and it was completely dizzy

Minter took a closer look, and there was a large wooden box flying there, and there were a lot of spices scattered in it, which seemed to be the box where the monster was originally hiding, and then a black shadow was a trolley, which was originally half loaded with oil, but now the oil jar was shattered, and the sesame oil flowed to the ground

He immediately threw a few fireballs, and the fire went over, and the fire burned up, and the alley was blazing, and the red monster was awakened and let out a loud roar, but a red fireball flew over quickly, but it could no longer make a sound, and could only whimper and struggle in the sea of fire

Minter stared until it stopped moving, then he breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off the wall, and smiled at the person in front of him: "Mr. Alex Magician, thank you for your help"

Alex tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You're welcome, it's just by the way" and then looked at Mint with interest: "Your Excellency, Commander, I didn't expect you to be quite brave, I originally thought... You were only appointed commander because you knew the Nogars, and I now recognize your identity."

Now that it's all over, he admits it, what's the point? Minter thought it was amused, and didn't want to say anything more, so he said, "You have thrown the boxes and the oil cart over, then you must have met their owner, and the merchant is okay now?" ”

"What's so bad about it? He was lucky enough to survive from the monster, but he was probably scared silly, and he was still in a daze, but his wife was crying, saying that he had spent a lot of money to buy a few boxes of spices, and now he has lost everything" Alex pulled a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, as if to satirize the woman's discontentment

Minter's face changed, he raised his leg and ran back, how could he forget? The merchant has several chests of these spices, does that mean that there are other magical beasts in there?!

When he ran back to the merchant's shop, there had been several circles of people there, and the Security Department and the Esther army immediately sent men to inquire about the matter, and then kept a close watch over the chests, and asked the merchant where the goods had come from

The merchant was still sitting in place, his eyes were straight, his body was trembling, no matter how the people next to him talked to him, he didn't answer, pushed him, he just shook it, but there was no reaction, his wife wanted to help him up, so that all her strength could only hold him up a little, and she was brought down by his weak body, she couldn't help but feel sad, and cried: "Aren't you scared stupid?" Wake up... We all have gone, if even you have an accident, then what will I do with my children..."After crying, it has become: "Why don't you hide the key to the treasury and tell me, where do you tell me to get the money..."

Faith had been standing on the side, a little helpless, his comfort seemed to have no effect, a little stiff face, forcefully asked her where she bought the "goods", she cried and said that everything was at a loss, and she would not be able to live in the future, and if something happened to her husband, it would be better for the whole family to be eaten by monsters

Faith had a big headache, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Minter standing in front of him and hurriedly left her and walked over: "Look at it, help think of a way, they are not Easters, we don't want to push too hard"

Minter sighed, and was about to step forward to help persuade him, but he heard Alex's voice behind him: "There will be no result if you ask again, unless you are willing to give money" He turned back in surprise, and saw Alex sneering on his face: "This lady is famous for her love of money, and everyone in the town knows that it is better to ask the person concerned than to ask her to speak"

Minter looked at the merchant who was still in a daze, and then at his wife, who was crying and saying that he had no money, and he was bored with a ball of ice water and threw it over, and it was falling on the merchant's head, and the merchant was so stimulated by the ice water that he sneezed several times, and finally came to his senses

But as soon as he woke up, he cried: "It's terrible... It's horrible... Why lie to me? Although I am not from Noga, why did my wife Ai sell me such a terrible thing..."

Faith hurriedly stepped forward: "Who sold it to you, do you remember?!" ”

The merchant replied, "I don't know... He said he was from the southwest of Noga, and he showed me that the spices were genuine..."

Minter also stepped forward and asked, "Does he only have these boxes of goods?" Is there anything else besides these? ”

"There's... There were two more people in town who also bought... Woo..."

"Who is it?" "Who is it?!"

Mint asked out loud, only to find that another voice had overshadowed him, and when he looked at the source of the voice, he found that it was General Novold, who was striding over, and grabbed the merchant's arm: "Say it quickly!" ”

He was aggressive, and when the merchant saw it, his legs were even weaker, and he didn't have much effort, so he said the person's name, Feith looked down, and hurriedly approached Novavold and whispered: "It's two merchants in the central area, who usually live in the southern district."

Novard glanced at him, "Do you know where they are?" Very good! Bring someone to find it now! Be sure to get the suspicious box under control as soon as possible! ”

With Fez, who knew about it, led the way, the other two merchants who bought the same spice were quickly found, and as soon as they heard the reason, they who had already witnessed the horror of Warcraft just now immediately sacrificed all these goods, a total of thirteen boxes

When Norwald personally led the soldiers, carefully carrying the box to the carriage and pulling it away, a soldier accidentally fell, and the box in his hand fell to the ground, and everyone was horrified and scattered in all directions, but for a long time there was no reaction to the box, and only then did a bold soldier carefully pick open the lid of the box with a spear, and the fragments of spices immediately fell out and scattered on the ground, exuding a rich aroma

It turned out that this box contained real spices, and everyone breathed a long sigh, and Minter suddenly thought of one thing: "If there are demonic beasts in these boxes, and some are not, then will there be boxes containing other goods that also contain demonic beasts?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they were shocked, and Norwald immediately ordered the adjutantant: "Thoroughly inspect the goods of the whole town, and check everything that is packed in large wooden boxes!" ”

At this time, the whole Sico was alarmed, and finally there were hundreds of large wooden boxes gathered in Novade, all of which were locked, and it was not clear whether there were any magical beasts inside, and everyone did not dare to open them to check, and in order to save their lives, they would rather abandon them all

Looking at the mountains of boxes piled up in the clearing, everyone was worried and didn't know what to do, but at this time, Elon, who was staying with the other officers, sneered: "Shouldn't there be only one box with a demonic beast in it?" Otherwise, so many people have moved and lifted, and none of the boxes have made a sound, Marshal, Your Excellency General, would you have overreacted? ”

Novard squinted his eyes and kept looking at him, until he saw him lower his head, and then he retracted his gaze, why didn't he have this question? But when it comes to the safety of the lives of the people in the town, he can only do this, not to mention, Melori of the Security Agency, before leaving, mentioned that these magical beasts seem to be more active at night, but they are quite quiet during the day, and when Minte lures away the magical beast, he also feels that it is not as powerful as he has seen before, and it is very likely that it is because it is daytime

But how are they going to destroy these things now?

He was bothered by this, and Faith suggested to him, "There are still a few magicians here, why don't you ask them to build another earthen wall?" ”

Without waiting for Norwald to respond, Alex, who had been silent, interjected: "Impossible, we don't have the strength of a great magician"

Faith was dumbfounded, Norwald didn't say anything, but Elon showed a sarcastic smile, but he was obedient this time and didn't make a sound

Minter thought his smile was glaring, so he turned to Alex and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?" I guess you have a solution, right? He always felt that this young magician was very strong, and he was also very smart, and maybe there was a solution

Sure enough, Alex smiled: "If you can't build a wall, then dig a pit Anyway, as long as the monster can't escape, it's fine, isn't it?" ”

Norwald was shocked by this, and immediately ordered two hundred soldiers to dig a large pit in the plain outside the town

The big pit was selected in the northwest of the town, that is, the place where the demonic beasts were burned before, after the work of the soldiers, with the assistance of several magicians and apprentices, in less than two hours, a forty-meter-square eight-meter-deep earth pit was dug

Norwald asked the soldiers to carefully lower the boxes to the bottom of the pit, and then all the men withdrew, looking up at the sun that was already gradually setting in the west, he took a deep breath, and waved his hand to order: "Pour oil!" Ignition! ”

The blazing fire came out of the pit, mixed with bursts of roars, and when Minte heard it, he knew that he had guessed correctly, but he didn't know how many monsters were standing not far from the edge of the pit, he could see several things rolling in the sea of fire, and from time to time a large fire jumped up, but it fell back before reaching the edge of the pit, even if it climbed the pit wall slightly, it would be re-smashed down by Alex or the girl's apprentice with a few boulders

The rich aroma was mixed with the smell of oil, emitting in the air, making people smell dizzy Elon and the others couldn't help but leave first, but Norwald and Fesminter stayed where they were, until the next day, when the last bit of fire was completely extinguished, and then returned to the town magicians, and Alex insisted on accompanying them

Novard had changed his original perception of Alex at this time, and solemnly thanked him, but the latter said: "It's nothing, if anything happens, you can deal with those monsters with me."

Norward smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but Firth and Minter looked at each other and smiled bitterly, when suddenly the voice of the soldier outside the door was urgent: "General! Urgent mail from Ito! ”

Novard hurriedly sent people to the urgent dismantling to see, and his face became more and more black on the ground and Fez's step forward and asked: "Excuse me... Is something big happening in Ito? ”

"It's not Ito," Novard said in a deep voice, "it's the whole continent"

"Huh?" Everyone looked puzzled, not understanding what he meant

The old general's next words solved the mystery: "Shaonan Nuojia Weisha... With the exception of Van A, where the situation is unknown, demonic beasts have appeared in all countries, and civilians have suffered heavy casualties... The kings of various countries have received letters from the Demon Domain... Officially declared all-out war on humanity"

(The little finger of the right hand is burned with bubbles, which hurts and itches...) For the sake of my pain-bearing code, vote for me a few more little pinks... It's good... )
