Chapter 3: Determination (8)
Sha Luo Hunt and Poria disembarked at the Weeping Harbor on the Isle of Wars, and the shrine maiden of the Thousand Eyes Temple, Wind Blade Camilla, had been waiting in the harbor for a long time. Together, they passed through the tall sea gate and went straight to the Champ de Mars.
What he saw and heard along the way shocked Sara Hunt.
At the age of five, she came to the Isle of War with her parents to attend the celebration of the completion of the Champ de Mars. At that time, this wide and long bluestone street at your foot served as the main road to the Champ de Mars, and it was one of the most beautiful streets in Thousand Eyes City. But now, the whole road is in pieces, and the stone slabs are upside down. The walls of the shops lining the street cracked, and the doors and windows broke off their hinges with a creaking sound that made my teeth sour. In some houses, the roof has been lifted and the four walls are broken. The pavement was covered with falling bricks, broken tiles, and broken glass, forcing Sha Luojiao, who was in a hurry to rush to the Champ de Mars, to slow down. She noticed that many of the tiles were splattered with sticky blood. From time to time, you can see people with strips of cloth wrapped around their heads and bodies, carrying buckets and rummaging through the wreckage of destroyed houses.
The Shrine Maiden of the Thousand Eyes Temple Camilla whispered something to her mother all the way, and from time to time she looked back at the sara hunter who was following them, reminding her to pay attention to her step. Aunt Camilla's chubby, round face had a worried expression, and there was no trace of the two iconic deep dimples. Along the way, she asked the same questions to the soldiers around her many times, and Akari heard it, and she asked, "Hasn't Nasas arrived yet?" β
Nasas Scarlet, one of the Burning Legion's lieutenants.
Hearing Aunt Kamira ask about him, Sha Luojiao's heart couldn't help but burst into anger!
Father died in battle! My brother died in battle! The other two of the three lieutenants were also killed! There are less than 10,000 of the 50,000 Burning Legions left in the most powerful Burning Legion on the Divine Land! Why is Nasas still alive!
They had already walked up the wide white trail leading to the Champ de Mars, and Sha Luo Hunt saw that the square ahead was guarded by soldiers, about five steps away. Kamira stopped and stopped Poria and Sha Luojiao, "Let's wait and go up again, I'm afraid ......"
"Mother and I are not afraid of anything!" Sara interrupted her and took a step forward and said loudly.
"Hunting," Aunt Camilla whispered her name, a sad expression on her face, "I mean we'll wait here for the deputy commander of Nasas, he's already on his way." He was the first person to see the scene, and there are some situations that need to be explained to you in advance, otherwise I'm afraid of ......."
"Lord Thousand Eyes," Akari gritted his teeth and forced himself to speak in a calm tone, "My father and brother died inside, right?" β
Kamela looked into Agari's eyes and nodded very slowly. Her two thin eyebrows were downward, as if she was about to cry.
Akari hated her for treating her like a poor child.
She looked up, straightened her head, and said to Camilla word by word: "Mother and I must personally examine the bodies of our father and brother!" Please don't stop any more! β
Kamira looked at Poria as she saw her mother nodding at her, and she moved her chubby body away.
Sha Luo's left hand tightly grasped his mother's right hand, and the two walked up to the first large platform of the Champ de Mars. She noticed that her mother was trembling slightly!
The tragic scene in front of me was shocking.
Thousands of corpses loom in front of you. These men were killed in battle, because the white masonry floor was covered with severed hands, broken legs, and even sticky dark red heads. The smell of blood, burnt internal organs and limbs wafted through the airβthe smell of death. One of the paths taken by Saro-hunt, Poria and Camilla must have been cleared in advance, for the corpses had been kept moving forward and almost covered the huge wide platform on the first floor of the square. At the steps leading to the second platform, piles of corpses began to appear on top of each other, and countless hands and feet stretched out at various strange angles. On more than one occasion as he ascended the stairs, he saw the stiff and twisted faces of the dead warriors at his feet, silently telling of the pain and despair of being abandoned by the gods in an invincible catastrophe.
After ascending to the second platform, the corpses were significantly reduced, and the corpses were lying or leaning or sitting, but the peculiarity of the corpses and the unobstructed ground made Sharo tremble uncontrollably.
With the statue of Mars, the god of war in the center of the platform, as the origin, countless scarlet blood eyes are in the shape of rays, covering the second layer of the platform, with different spacings and different sizes, with the broken ground as a line to outline the pattern of the eyes, and the black and red color infused into it is dried blood.
And the corpses of all the fighters on the second platform have lost their eyes.
The black holes in the faces of countless corpses and the scarlet eye patterns on the ground stared at the group of people who had ascended the square, and the strange and terrifying gaze made it impossible for Sha Luojia to breathe.
In the center of the platform, directly below the statue of the god of war, the corpse clearly showed signs of being dragged away and moved, revealing a clearing in the middle. A huge bloody eye that was two people tall and four or five people wide lay flat on the ground, and the bright red pupils and black red eye sockets seemed to be burning and spitting fire with the blood that filled them, and Sha Luojia felt his heart stop!
In the middle of Hitomi, a young man was lying prone - it was his brother Sha Luo.
At the corners of the eye sockets, the rippled sword and scabbard fell, and a huge body not far away lay on its side, with its left leg and left arm extended, and its right leg and right arm curled up - it was his father Long Ran.
For a moment, Agari felt like he was in his brother's picture book. There's a bloody legend about the moon god casting a blood-eyed curse and slaughtering the psychedelic daughter of Shadow Land. The terrifying story made her dare not sleep alone at night when she was a child, but she did not expect the illustrations in the book to be enlarged and distorted in front of her at this moment.
Along the way, Poria is tormented by various imaginations about the death of her husband and son, but the scene in front of her seems to kill her.
How so!! The gods are above! How so!
She was about to fall, and Camilla beside her hurriedly took two steps forward to support Poria Cocos. The obese shrine maiden said in a panicked and unbearable tone, "The reason why the square has not been cleaned up is because since the night of the reincarnation, the Champ de Mars Square has been burning with strange blue-purple flames, and no one dares to approach it. It wasn't until the early hours of this morning, when the flames went out, and I brought the shrine maidens of the Thousand Eyes Temple to find that there were many extra eyes on the ground and that the warriors had lost their eyes. Because it's too ...... It was so shocking that when I knew you were on your way, I told someone to leave it as it was. The corpses of Lord Hades and Ah Zhen have not been touched. β
"Aunt Camilla, please take care of my mother."
After confessing, Sara Hunt walked alone to the bloody eye in front of him.
She knelt down in front of her father's body and put her hands on his shoulders. The body was cold and hard as a boulder, and she leaned over and turned him over with all her might. Sara tried to lay down his father's right leg and right arm, which had curled up when he died, but the body had been left for many days and had already stiffened, so Agari gave up. She knew that if she wanted to keep her hands and feet flat, she would only break her bones.
She stared down at her father.
Long Ran was not wearing a combat uniform, but was wearing a brown and green reincarnation day dress, the belt around his waist had been lost, and the placket on his chest was completely open. Agari saw that his father was covered in blood, his body was in tatters, and a large hole in his left chest almost penetrated his thick chest. His cheeks were covered with black and red blood, and his two eyeballs were gone, and his sockets were empty. Holding her father's forehead and brushing the gravel and powder from her father's hair with one hand, she pulled down her sleeve to the palm of her hand and pressed it tightly with four fingers to wipe the blood off her father's face.
She gently stroked her father's cheek, then got up and walked to the center of the bloody eye.
The elder brother is only one year older than Ah Hunt, and Ah Hunt grows fast, and there is no difference in the height of the two since childhood, so it is not difficult for Ah Hunt to flip his brother who is lying on the ground over. But from the unnatural swing of the corpse, Akari found that his brother's left leg was broken into several knots, and his shoulder was either broken or dislocated, because the entire left shoulder collapsed. There was no blood on the dagger that my brother was attached to his waist, and it appeared that he had not drawn his sword. He also wore a reincarnation day gown, but his clothes were soaked in blood and dried up, and he could no longer distinguish the original color. However, Ah Hunt knew what the clothes looked like, a pullover green linen shirt, trousers of the same color, the cuffs and trousers were the same as the belt, and Ah Hunt had the same set, but her bottoms were long skirts. She tried to pick her brother up, but was unsuccessful. So she tightly grabbed her brother's belt with her left hand, wrapped her right arm around her brother's injured and collapsed shoulder, bent over, and slowly dragged her brother's body to her father's side, placing the two side by side.
Among the piles of corpses at the foot of the statue of the god of war is a blood-soaked Burning Legion battle flag. Sharokan pulled out the battle flag, passed it under his father and brother in strips, and then unfurled it from both ends, stretched it out, and folded back on the left and right sides, covering his father's and brother's scarred bodies and lost their faces.
Sara Hunt's actions didn't happen after thinking, she just moved her body mechanically, as if a god was manipulating her to complete this series of movements. She didn't cry, but she left blood and tears in her heart! She kept saying to herself, "Look at the faces of Daddy and Brother!" Remember what they look like! If you can't get revenge, you might as well stab yourself with a knife now! β
What broke her numbness was a voice coming from behind.
She heard someone walking up the steps, the man in his combat suit, as the slight scraping of the shin guard and the sound of the weapon hitting the chain guard at the waist as the man advanced. Then she heard a man's low voice: "It's too late, please forgive me, two adults, along the way..."
Nasas Scarlet!!
Sara turned and kicked the ground, lunging at the man like an arrow, raising his right leg and kicking him in the jaw with all his might.
