Revised Edition, Volume 20, Like Heaven Chapter 13, The Red Lotus of Fire
At seven o'clock in the evening of the ninth day of February in the twelfth year of the expedition, the city of Nebuchu guarded the palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hong Wushuang sat in the reception room with his whole body draped, and suddenly asked the guards in a loud voice: "Sister Zhang Yu, haven't they come back yet?" ”
"Not yet." The guard's voice could not hide a desperate weakness: "It seems that they probably won't be able to come back either." ”
"If the last reconnaissance team can't come back, we're in big trouble." Hong Wushuang smiled slightly: "You're tired too, go down and take a rest, I'll call you again if you need to." ”
"Your Excellency the Castle Guard, this is ...... time"
"I'd like to be alone for a while." Hong Wushuang said in an irrefutable tone: "At this time, it makes no difference if you are a little earlier or a little later. ”
After the guards at the door retreated, Hong Wushuang flipped out his Walkman, and after pressing the record button, he said unhurriedly: "This is the last report of the Nebuchu City Guardian Hong Wushuang. Now Nebuchu has become an enemy-occupied area, and all communications are cut off. All of this has to do with my many major mistakes, and I do not expect to be forgiven. But I hope that these last words will reach everyone's ears so that we can get a clearer picture of the current situation. This is the last meaningful work I can do as the guardian of Nebuchu, thank you for your support! ”
"For a year, the situation in the city of Nebuchu has been quietly changing. Behind this change is clearly manipulative, but I trust the Ferians' obedience and their own ability to control the situation too much to take it seriously. Until two days ago, when the situation suddenly changed, I still did not react in time. I got the news of the identity of the manipulator behind the scenes at noon today, but I was still not convinced, so much so that I wasted an afternoon of verifying it, and now it seems that only four reconnaissance teams have been wasted. But by this time it was clear to me that it was not at fault that it was the one behind the scenes, and that it was the only one that had that great power - the emperor of the Third Reich of Feria. Why it did this, I still can't guess, but its mutiny is quite certain. ”
"I don't know exactly what he did, but since noon, you can hear the shouts of 'tear apart the human invaders' in the nearby neighborhood without listening to the castle guard's mansion, which is obviously a play on the long-standing dissatisfaction of the lower classes of the people of Feria. During the nearly two years I spent guarding Nebuchu, I was so inattentive to this work that I could not find even a sympathizer who could provide shelter, and I was indeed quite unqualified as a city guard. It seems that I am just a simple warrior, and those complicated jobs are not for me. ”
"It seems that the air defense positions in the south of the city have begun to work again, and Chang Hates Tian is trying to rely on this city to fight humanity in an all-out way? I don't think that's possible. He could easily wipe out me and my garrison, but he was still not strong against the humans. I heard that it has been growing in strength for many battles, and that is simply an evil spell. Maybe it's trying to siphon out my power after killing me? If it really intends to do that, I'll teach it a real lesson. For a long time, having heard many people call it the strongest warrior in Nebuchu, I would make it understand that its power was nothing great in front of a young woman in the heavenly realm. As for absorbing my strength, don't even think about it! Even though the situation was very unfavorable, I could say that I was dead or dead, but I began to look forward to it. It's been a long time since I've experienced an exciting battle in person. ”
"It's about to start fighting, but I'm surprisingly calm. Thinking back on my experience over the years, I suddenly felt embarrassed. I wasted my precious time and energy on too many meaningless things, and I came to this scene without doing anything in the name of 'genius girl', and I didn't realize it until the crisis came. If I could wake up earlier, maybe I could really break through the limit and reach the level of a holy general, and it seems that I can't surpass Sister Jingwei. ”
"Finally, I want to say to my brother: Wushuang's willfulness has troubled you for a long time, and Shicai fully understands this, I'm very sorry."
"It's noisy outside, I can't be wordy anymore, and I have to fight like a real warrior. However, it's better to say a few words to Jiang Xu......"
"You are a very gentle person to women, you will definitely find someone who is really suitable for you, please find your happiness as soon as possible, and simply forget about Wushuang neatly."
After finishing the message, Hong Wushuang handed over the listening to a henchman. At this time, the wireless communication of Nebuchu City had been completely blocked, and all this guard could do was to sneak into the control center of the air defense position in the south of the city, where there was no possibility of escape, and use the equipment there to send out the recording. After the mission was completed, he was quickly spotted by the guards there and killed on the spot. But compared to his two thousand comrades-in-arms, his fate was not the most tragic.
"II. The incident officially broke out at 8 o'clock that night. After many conscriptions and retrenchments under the auspices of humans, the regular army of Feria, in the city of Nebuchu, was not too many, only about 20,000 men. At the time of the incident, the 20,000 troops were nervously carrying out new deployments and movements, and were not directly involved in the attack on the city guards. It was a group of militiamen who attacked the city - it is not accurate to say that most of these men had not participated in any prior military training of any kind, and they were armed with simple weapons such as sticks and kitchen knives, more like a common people's riot.
"It's despicable to send these people." Hong Wushuang shouted in Feria: "Hate the sky for a long time, and if you have the guts, stand up and compete!" ”
A long laugh came from afar: "Hong Wushuang, you are one of the few powerhouses in the human world, but you are only a warrior, not a hero!" ”
Hong Wushuang snorted coldly: "Using these cannon fodder to block the road to you and consuming my strength is what the hero did?" ”
Chang hated Tian retorted: "The hero's mission is to open up the world, and obsessing over the reputation of a warrior is not what a hero should do!" I will give you a way to live, and if you serve under my command, I will put you in charge of the fate of humanity in Nebuchu. Would you like to think about it? ”
Hong Wushuang let out a burst of laughter, and said out of breath, "Elder, are you crazy? What can you do? What else can you do but intercept and kill our mere 2,000 city defenders? ”
"No, Rainbow Wushuang, you don't know anything. With a little more time, I can break through the storm barrier of the Great Arctic Hollow and obtain the King's Treasure left by the Ancient Species. At that time, my strength will make the Charontes of the year sigh at the time. I will sweep away all those who dare and seek to stand in my way and establish a new world order. Combine Feria and the human race and become the creator of a new era in the universe! ”
"You are crazy, the last emperor of the Second Empire of Feriia, Wang Erguray, was transformed into a monster like Shalontes under this crazy thought, and you will follow in its footsteps when you hit it. Are you cursed to be so insane? ”
"You're wrong, Rainbow Warriors! It is I who have a clear understanding of the situation in the world. You humans will only fight and consume time and energy in constant infighting. Although General Huang successfully defeated Overmars, he himself is not a hero who can tolerate the world and lead the development of the world with firm faith, such a person is not worthy of my life! ”
Hong Wushuang said categorically: "Your definition of a hero is too biased. Although I don't admire the general, based on what I know about him over the years, I think he is absolutely worthy of the word 'hero'. It's you, who hate the sky, your pursuit of absolute power has polluted your heart, and Nebuchu will never tolerate the existence of a 'hero' like you. It's useless to say more, let's fight to the death! ”
With Hong Wushuang's order, every soldier in the city garrison put on their masks and rushed forward with a shout in unison. Although the enemies of the Quartet had only a few days ago been ordinary people who worshiped and worshipped them, and their combat effectiveness was extremely low, the ethnic antagonism and hatred that had been channeled and incited had masked many weaknesses. The number of city defenders was too small, and in order to maintain their maximum combat strength and march to the place of Changhate, they could only try their best to maintain a neat queue, and used high-vibration particle knives to constantly cut the limbs of the mob that pounced on them. However, this extremely primitive and crazy way of killing quickly aroused the ferocious and violent atmosphere in the blood of the mob, and these "obedient people" who used to salute respectfully when they saw the soldiers of the city garrison became like wild beasts, one person was killed, but the others did not retreat, but rushed up to grab with their hands, beat them with sticks, and bite with their teeth, dragging the weak soldiers of the city garrison from the queue one by one at a cost of more than ten or even dozens of casualties, tearing off their armor, cutting off their hands and feet, and biting their throats! While they did this, the rest of the garrison could only watch and move on with tears in their eyes. After all, the mob outnumbered them hundredfold, and once they left the team to save their comrades, the result would inevitably be that the queue would be broken and the entire army would be quickly wiped out. Their task at this time is to march to the place of Changhate Heaven regardless of sacrifice, as for what will happen after marching there, in fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the fallen comrades at this time are just one step ahead.
When the garrison of Nebuchu marched to Tahrir Square, five kilometers north of the castle guard, they were finally unable to advance any further. The city garrison, which had been attacked by an endless mob for more than two hours, had only about 1,000 men left, while the mob in the square and from all directions appeared to have numbered more than 200,000. Fortunately, the march mission had been completed, and their target, Chang Hatian, sat on the observation deck on the north side of the square for a long time, and laughed loudly at the city defenders: "But I've been waiting for you for a long time. Until this time, I have not used regular troops, just to make you think clearly. Hong Wushuang, are you still unwilling to surrender? I've always given you a chance. The rest of the people who are willing to demote me will be promoted to the third level and will be in charge of human affairs in the future! Those who resist stubbornly are dead! With your current condition, I can easily cut off all of your heads with just one brigade of royal guards!" ”
"There are hundreds of thousands of mobs here, so there is no need to waste the regular army. The generals will exterminate the Blackwater Feria clan, you better leave more for them to kill now, lest they kill not enough in the future and anger the common people! Hong Wushuang replied to the long hatred of the sky, turned back to the soldiers around him and said, "If it is a civil war between human beings, when faced with such a desperate situation, I will agree to your surrender." But now we are behind the abyss, and if we take a step back, we will never recover, and there is no room for turn! Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to say more about today. Let's do our duty as a soldier and fight vigorously! ”
The bloodies around him replied, "Understood, please give instructions!" ”
Hong Wushuang shouted: "There are no instructions, they are fighting separately!" The opponents are all hot-headed pariahs, and you have to kill five to pass. I won't spare you if you die before you kill five! If you kill ten, you will be promoted to one level, and after the war, I will pour wine for it personally! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency Castle Guard!"
Beneath these rhetoric are more contradictory jokes in desperate situations. Although this did not affect the determination of the city defenders to fight to the death, it could not reverse the situation at that time. After more than half an hour of frantically slashing and slaughtering, the city defenders who fought with blood and fighting spirit were finally exhausted, unable to maintain a neat queue any longer, and were quickly overwhelmed by the mob that poured in like a tide, and the decisive battle between Chang Hate Tian and Hong Wushuang on the high platform also came to the last moment. The high-vibration particle spear that Chang Hate Tian used to slash Shalontes had already been interrupted by Rainbow Wushuang, and at this time, he only attacked with the scythe on his arms, and suffered many wounds all over his body, but his strength was still undiminished. Hong Wushuang was even more seriously injured, his waist and legs were pierced, his movement was already quite inconvenient, and the consumption of divine power was also on the verge of danger.
However, at this time, a dazzling star flashed in the sky, and a fiery red pillar of light shone directly on the square, engulfing the people, streets, and buildings within a radius of 400 meters in the sea of fire. The mob with red eyes and tearing at the bodies of the soldiers of the city garrison did not even have time to cry before the flames turned into flying ashes, and the people in the distance were not directly affected by the flames, but were so shocked by this tragic scene that they cried in unison, and Tahrir Square suddenly became a hell on earth.
The flames also swept up to the high platform, and the two of them quickly shook open a fireless place with their strength, but the hair on their clothes was also curled up a lot. Hong Wushuang cut off the burnt long hair with a backhand sword, and sneered at Chang Hattian: "This is a gamma cannon." Your plot was revealed in advance, do you still think it might succeed? ”
Chang Hatian frowned, looked up at the night sky, and said, "It's really strange, your brother shouldn't be able to change into a modern class that can be dispatched now. This battleship is very far away, and the anti-aircraft artillery can't hit it, and it is shooting at an ultra-long distance, but the distance of the battleship under his command will not be so high. Could it be something else? ”
"It seems that the general said that the Third Fleet was mobilized to participate in the war, their warships are relatively new, and only they can fight so accurately at ultra-long distances." Hong Wushuang raised his sword and pointed at Chang Hatetian: "What else do you have to say now?" ”
"Wushuang, I admire your strong body and unwavering faith, but it's a pity that I don't have a perverted hobby for human women like Hegenberg, otherwise I might have spared your life for this. Now I can only treat you as the most formidable enemy, and give you an ending worthy of who you are. "You're getting one thing wrong: I'm looking for the ultimate strength of the individual, not the mobilization of the entire city against humanity. The fact that the general was able to deploy a counterattack so quickly disrupted my plan a little, but it had little impact on the overall situation. For this city is dispensable to me, as long as I can draw strength from the end of the lives of all beings - but those untouchables, even if there are thousands, are not as strong and pure as your power. ”
Hong Wushuang sneered, "You want to kill me and absorb my power? Do you think you can do it? ”
"If your brother had been in control of that ship, it might have been a bit of a hassle. If he had forced his way here at all costs, he might have beaten me back. But since it was the Third Fleet, it would be impossible for them to force a landing under the anti-aircraft fire of Nebuchu, and they would only fire their guns from a distance and win the victory at the lowest cost. It's more likely that they'll think you're dead, and that everything in the city will just have to be destroyed without being saved. We all know very well how accurate the spaceship is at a distance, and while this one may be much better, it won't affect my plans. The game is over, Wushuang, I respect you as a real general, you can judge yourself! I will leave you with a whole corpse and choose a place with the best scenery for you to bury. ”
"Hateful fellow, I can't bluff you." Hong Wushuang lowered the sword in his hand, and propped it on the ground to maintain the balance of his body. The final victor posture of the right talent and high spirits is gone. She looked at Chang Hatian with a sly smile, coughed twice, and said: "I used to drink with my brother and the general, and they often said that the root cause of the bad guys in movies and television was the ...... Ahem, ahem. ”
She coughed violently and gasped for a few mouthfuls of blood. Chang hated Tian didn't know what she was going to say, and although he sensed that Rainbow Wushuang's strength had been reduced to its lowest point, he still maintained his highest alert posture and did not move. Hong Wushuang raised his sleeve and wiped the blood from his lips, and said with a smile: "They all say that the root cause of this failure is that there is too much nonsense. ”
Chang hated the sky and said angrily: "What did you say?!" ”
Hong Wushuang pulled out the pendant that had been hanging around his neck from inside his clothes. The pendant is a thumb-sized green magatama with a distinct bloodshot in the middle, with two Chinese characters on the front and back, "Agni" in the front and "red lotus" in the back. Fearing that this was some kind of trap for Hong Wushuang, Chang Hate Tian stood far away and looked at it for a while, and said lightly: "It seems to contain an ominous aura, but even if it is some kind of amazing artifact, you expect to be able to turn the situation around through such an artifact?" That's absolutely delusional. And if it really has that much effect, why didn't you use it sooner later, and didn't take it out until you were dying to scare me? ”
"I wanted to explain to you the origin of this magatama carefully, but unfortunately my body can't hold it anymore, and I don't want to talk so much nonsense to a rough person. There's no point in procrastinating now, let's find out sooner, I'm tired. ”
After saying this, Hong Wushuang smiled slightly, stood up vigorously, pinched Magatama with two fingers, and poured the last of his divine power into it. Almost at the same time, the ships of the Third Fleet fired gamma cannons at Tahrir Square, which was immediately covered in red-hot light and fire. However, Chen Xiangda's flagship observer, who was 120,000 meters above the ground, exclaimed: "What the hell is going on?!" ”
"What's wrong, all the fuss?"
"There is an extremely strong energy reaction in Nebuchu City, and it is concentrated in one place!" The observer hurriedly transmitted the data to Chen Xiangda's terminal: "Commander, this phenomenon is unheard of, it is like concentrating the energy of a gamma cannon into a place the size of a bedroom and releasing it, it is definitely not our shelling!" ”
This is evidenced by the mushroom cloud rising over the city of Nebuchu. Anyone who is accustomed to seeing the scene of the gamma cannon firing can tell at a glance that the cloud is different. Chen Xiangda ordered to retrieve the footage of the low-altitude orbit spy satellite and study, and after an hour, she finally found a photo of the final confrontation between Hong Wushuang and Chang Hatian.
"Looks like she did it?" Chen Xiangda leaned back in her chair tiredly and muttered to herself, "It's terrifying, but fortunately, the number of such heroes is far less than that of warships that can fire gamma cannons. ”
It wasn't long before similar findings were on my desk.
After Jiang Xu and Hong Xiang learned the news of Hong Wushuang's sacrifice, they didn't cry or faint like children, but they asked me for leave with a blushing face to "rest for a day and ignore things for the time being". I could only sigh in my heart for a moment, and then take on the task of analyzing the situation and deciding on the next steps for them. After reading the materials for a while, Jing Wei suddenly came to my office and reported while wiping away tears: "I am mainly responsible for Wushuang's sacrifice. ”
I shook my head and said, "Isn't this the time to talk about responsibility, and isn't she self-destructing?" ”
"Few people can self-destruct easily." Jing Wei said sadly: "Wushuang couldn't have been, but I lent her that key prop." ”
"Don't blame yourself, although I don't know the situation, but according to her character, I probably asked you to lend it to her after you saw it occasionally, and made up her mind not to pay it back." I saw from Jing Wei's eyes that this was indeed the case, and comforted, "No one will blame you for this." If you really feel uneasy, you can avenge her. Look at the artifact in the future, don't give it away. ”
Jing Wei's tears suddenly welled up again, and she shouted: "Even if you take revenge, Wushuang won't be able to come back!" ”
I shook my head and said, "That's one of the few things a living person can do." For normal people, they can only remember the voice, smile, and past appearance of the deceased, but they can't carry it all the time, otherwise they won't be able to move forward on the road of life. ”
Jing Wei stopped crying, looked at me with a strange look, suddenly smiled sly, and said, "You always seem to like to play as a philosopher." ”
I twitched my facial muscles with a smile: "It's not surprising that the top leaders more or less like to study philosophy. ”
Jing Wei turned around and said as she walked towards the door, "It's beautiful, but in fact, I haven't been carrying it all the time. ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "So I'm not normal." ”
Jing Wei stopped at the door, turned her head and said, "Me is not, we are all monsters who have carried everything from the dead to this day. ”
While we were lamenting the death of Wushuang, a broken arm suddenly stretched out from the fire ruins of Tahrir Square. The owner of the arm pulled away the rubble around him, barely pulling half of his body out of the rubble. At this time, no one recognized its identity, only it understood that the name "Long Hate Heaven" had not disappeared from history.
"My left arm and shoulder were shattered, about a third of my head was destroyed, and the lower half of my body was completely gone, but I still had the strength, and I could recover and get up again." Lying in the sea of fire, Chang Hattian couldn't help but muttered to himself: "The human soldiers will not enter the city so quickly, I still have time to recover, I will not fail." No one knows that I was once defeated, and I will always be the strongest! ”
"Hateful woman, in the end, she will resist me......"
"Hateful !!" (To be continued.) )
