Chapter 32: The Massacre
As soon as they got out of the tunnel, Duck and Marduk smelled a strong bloody gas, and the two of them secretly screamed that it was not good, Marduk was in front, Darkk was behind, regardless of the heel bug trio behind, and rushed towards the main road.
Along the road were abandoned Mensaro corpses, men, women, and children, all of whom had their heads cut off, and the closer they got to the node, the thicker the bloodstains became.
The Mensaro dwelling is a cave dug out of the ground, connected by a main road dug by a giant sandworm, like a bunch of grapes, connected by countless small branches to the large branches. Every grape is a household.
Now, there is not a single living hole on the main road, the dead bodies are resting on their pillows, and there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms along the way, and the last room that is not empty is filled with headless corpses.
Sweating and with a heart beating wildly, Marduk led Duck towards the node, and the closer he got to the node, the harder his heart beated.
The nodes are large supply depots on the main roads, and some of them are not only storage and transit centers, but also meeting places and prayers for the Menzaro people, in fact, the Holy Mosque located underground. Even though these poor people were forced to flee underground for their livelihood, they did not give up their faith in Lord Kara, hoping to return to the earth one day.
Ahead was a cul-de-sac blocked by a large sand dune - it was just that to outsiders, Marduk had walked around the sand dunes, and behind it was a deep cave.
Duck followed him through the cavern, and in front of him was Alhair, the largest node in the world of the Thunder Demon Hill's underground gate.
The darkness has come to an end, and there is light ahead.
Countless light stone lamps overhead glowed brightly, and it was as bright as day in all directions.
The two stood in a side door in the Node Hall, and in the middle of the hall was a mountain of corpses.
Marduk rushed towards the mountain of corpses like crazy, tripped under his feet and almost fell, he used his hands and feet together, stumbled over, grabbed one of the hands of the unknown corpse, and dragged it out, dragged it for a long time, and then dragged another body, still unable to move.
Eventually, with all his might, he snatched a baby out of the pile, which, like the deceased next to him, had his head cut off. The poor baby still holds a small red crab with a small slit in the cloth in his little hand, and there are still small tooth marks on the crab.
Marduk was in tears.
Duck gently picked up the little crab: "The father of the little one must have been a sailor, little crab—perhaps, his father hopes that one day his son will be able to run freely on the beach in the sun, and he can hang up his white sails and ride the waves." ”
Like a wounded old wolf, Marduk let out a desperate, terrible cry.
"Who's who, who's who?"
Duck rubbed the ring on his left hand three times, and the red-coated Humpty Dumpty Ringwraith came out of the ring.
"Ah, noble lord, we meet again. What are you going to show me this time?Oh, Lord is above, there are so many corpses!, sir, you'd better get out of here, so many corpses would cause an astonishing plague if they decomposed—"
"Shut up, look at their wounds, and tell me what weapon caused it. ”
"The Himariel Knife, also known as the Exorcist Knife, is the standard equipment of the Holy Protector Army. ”
"Most?"
"All. ”
"What is the point of decapitating and dying?"
"Kill the infidels. ”
"Heretics, they also believe in Lord Kara!"
"There are sectarian conflicts within the same religion, and there are people who regard each other as infidels. ”
"But I see that it's not sectarian strife, it's massacres, it's massacres against the Menzaro people. Okay, it's none of your business, you can go back. ”
"Yes, noble lord. The Ringwraith twisted and retracted into the ring.
Darker was about to persuade Marduk, when suddenly an exclamation came from behind, and when he turned around, it was Letifa standing behind him.
"W-what's going on?"
The girl was stupefied, and Ellayi and Sahir next to her were equally dumbfounded.
The girl's screams startled Marduk, and his blood-red eyes rolled as he aimed at Letifa.
With a roar, Maduk pounced, aimed at the girl's neck with a shovel, and was held by Sahil's horizontal knife.
Marduk slashed a dozen times in a row like crazy, and all of them were taken by Sahir steadily.
Sahil looked at him sympathetically, only parrying and not fighting back.
Duck caught up from behind, and his strong arm grabbed Marduk's chest, and Marduk couldn't move, struggled, ran out of strength, and cried loudly.
Letifa couldn't bear to look at the tragic situation ahead, and hid her face and wept.
Ellayi's face was solemn, he pondered for a while, and said, "This is ...... Slaughter. It was an organized and premeditated massacre against the Mensaro. ”
Marduk was depleted from his strength, and only a pair of angry eyes were staring at Ellayi.
Duck set him up next to the wall of the passage, made him sit against the wall, and then said to Ella, "Three, I'm in a bad mood right now, I can't entertain, where are you going back and forth, or ......"
Before Dark's words could be finished, there was a loud bang, and the walls of the passage were pierced, and the leader was the Flying Carpet Champion Martedi, who brandished his scimitar and shouted, "Where is the enemy?"
Duck pointed to the mountain of corpses in the hall and said, "Kill all the people and run away." ”
When Matedi saw that it was Hassan, he was first overjoyed, and when he saw the mountain of corpses clearly, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and he was dumbfounded, and behind him, dozens of Menzaros came out of the hole in the wall panting, and everyone who saw the mountain of corpses, without exception, was all stupid, and then cried bitterly.
Duck's chest churned with blood and the huge mountain of corpses pressed down on his heart, making him almost breathless.
Martedi leaned over and gently tugged at Dark's sleeve: "We're not Mensalo, take advantage of their chaos, let's run, wait for those brutes of the Cathar Army to come again, we'll be finished!"
"What about them?"
"The Farah node is far away, so it's okay for the time being. The female assassin had already run first, and the boy who saved us was not in good health and could not walk, and his father was accompanying him. Hassan, now there is a mess below, and it is estimated that there is also chaos above, we pretend to be a guardian and slip away, I have almost touched the situation of the tunnels around here, we can meet again, this must be the will of the Holy Lord, go together, the chance will be greater, hurry up!"
Darker gently brushed his hand away: "I heard the will of the Holy Lord, who said that justice must be done and evil deeds must be punished. I'm sorry Martedi, I'm going to stand with these poor creatures who have been insulted and slaughtered. ”
"But, you're not from Mensalo!"
"The Mensaros have been driven underground, with nowhere to go. The Holy Guardians still won't let it go, they're crazy. Even if we escape, where else can we go?"
Marduk, leaning against the wall, slapped the ground and shouted, "Hassan, help us, help us!"
The surrounding Menzaro people whispered, and the magical Hassan who had become rich overnight and slew the tunnel scroll beetle was standing in front of him!
I don't know who started first, but the Mensaros shouted together: "Hassan, help us, help us!"
Someone yelled, "Kill all the bastards on the ground!" and many people echoed in unison.
Without waiting for the riot to expand, Darker said coldly: "I also came from the ground." ”
One sentence knocked down the wrong public opinion, and Duck struck while the iron was hot: "Friends, who is the real enemy?"
Martedi yelled, "Guardian Army!"
"No, it's the crazy Guardian Army. Now, everyone, use the magic image to record the tragic situation here, and bring it to the leaders of each node, so that they can come to me at the Farah node, and those who don't come within six hours are the accomplices of the Holy Army of the Protectors!"
Next to him, Ellayi and the other three exchanged words, and Su Layi stepped forward and said, "We know a lot about the Guardian Holy Army, these bastards really deserve to die, if we don't dislike it, we can also help a little." ”
Duck sneered: "You're not afraid of death?"
Ella Yi smiled: "Wealth is in danger." The Holy Avatars regard the Mensalos as heretics, but we feel that they are a source of wealth, and how, Mr. Hassan, do you need information from the enemy?"
Duck stared at him for a long time, but Sura Yi was still smiling.
"Whatever your intentions are, you'd better be careful!" Martedi, keep an eye on them!, and strode away.
