Chapter 100: The Will of Vengeance
Guo Qian hurriedly ran into Wang Jiyuan's headquarters, and before he reached the door, he heard the sound of reports one after another and the sound of Wang Jiyuan giving orders in a thick voice.
He entered the door and walked lightly, without greeting Wang Jiyuan, who was handing over instructions to the correspondent below at the window, and looked around at the busy people in the room, but unexpectedly saw a stretcher placed in the corner of the wall in the back, and the people on it were covered by a blanket, and there was no movement. Morey sat on the ground beside the stretcher in his robes, unaware that a cigarette in his hand was about to burn to the end.
Guo Qian walked over and asked softly, "Morey, is this ......?"
Morey's body was shocked, and he woke up as if in a dream, he pressed the cigarette butt on the ground, raised his head, and revealed his red eyes, "Chairman Guo, Deputy Battalion Commander Ji...... He's dead. ”
"What! how could it be?" Guo Qian's face no longer looked calm, and he hurriedly reached out to untie the blanket that was covering the stretcher. Under the blanket was Ji Xun's pale face, as well as a shocking huge wound on his throat.
"Tell me, what happened, how did he die?"
"He's here to protect me. Morey slammed his fist to the ground, "If I hadn't illuminated that tower with a light crystal." If I hadn't let my guard down and hid in time, there wouldn't have been such a thing...... He died a worthless death, and fell at the hands of a despicable sneak attacker. I will surely find out who killed him, refine that damned soul into the golem, and avenge him. ”
"You went to the front, how could you get to the front!"
"The enemy has used siege magic, and we must stop them. ”
"It's not your fault, your mission is to consume that spell and defend the main position, and you did it. His mission is to protect you, and he has done it. You have all completed your mission and lived up to everyone's expectations. Wang Jiyuan heard their conversation, walked over and said, "Sacrifice is inevitable, and when necessary, I will fall like that." But now is not the time to be sad, we haven't defeated the horse thief yet. ”
"If so, Ji Xun's sacrifice is worthwhile. Remember how important you are to us, and never risk yourself if you don't have to. Guo Qian emphasized, "Don't keep thinking about revenge, we will make the horse thief pay." ”
"I know the importance of alchemy, however, there are some things that have to be solved with your own hands. Morey stood up, "I'm going to check on the magic circle, that attack may have caused some damage." So saying, he went out the door.
Wang Jiyuan gave the two guards a look, and the two soldiers immediately followed.
"What's the situation now?" Guo Qian asked with his gaze retracting his gaze towards the door, "Don't worry about the rear, I'll settle down when I come." All the people were very cooperative, and everyone kept the last level of camp in an orderly manner. It was really overwhelming, and the route and supplies for the retreat to the mountains were also set. ”
"The fight was very difficult, and the enemy sent a lot of cannon fodder to storm the walls, and at the same time used archers to cover the walls. Our walls were not high enough to hold them back, and in several places the enemy had already climbed into the wall, but our warriors had beaten them back. I have a total of seven squads of reserves, and five have been dispatched. As far as I know, the escort battalion has already lost at least ten people, and many more have been wounded. Wang Jiyuan said with a heavy face.
"If it doesn't work, I'll bring a group of people from behind to support, and old guys like us can still do something. Guo Qian said.
"Not to that extent...... , our escort battalion can still hold out. ”
"You remember, if it's really necessary......"
"I know that in a matter of life and death, I will not be polite to you. ”
Report. At this time, the voice of the correspondent came from downstairs, Wang Jiyuan walked to the window and poked his head out, "What's the situation?"
The correspondent pointed to a girl riding a tricycle next to him and said, "This girl was just with Ye Zi, the deputy platoon leader of the second platoon of the first company. According to her report, the positions on the side wall of the southern front were broken by the enemy, and Deputy Platoon Commander Ye was holding back the enemy alone. ”
Wang Jiyuan turned his head and asked the deputy beside him, "Did you receive a light signal from that direction, did they ask for help?"
The deputy in charge of the light signal said, "No, but they haven't made any signals for fifteen minutes." ”
"Let the reserve team of the remaining two squads downstairs go in that direction immediately, Lao Wei, the guard squad directly under your battalion should go over with all the guns, be sure to find out the situation and recapture the position! By the way, drive the Jinbei converted into a chariot too." ”
"Yes!" a tall warrior in the room responded.
Morey walked downstairs and looked out at the tower in the distance, and another feeling of sadness and indebtedness came over him. He didn't have much contact with Ji Xun, but it was precisely because of this that it was even more difficult for him to accept a somewhat strange person dying for him.
Morey doesn't like to owe anything to others, and his self-esteem doesn't allow him to do so. Sometimes he would rather be bullied and laughed at than would have others help him and help him. Because the former will become the motivation and spur for him to rise up, while the latter often makes him feel weak and powerless. Especially when he never gets a chance to give back to someone again.
In any case, let me avenge you first, your old saying "ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge", but ten years is too long, too long to bear. I don't like this phrase, in my words, it should be: Morey's revenge, right tonight!
Gotta find that damn bastard first!
Morey stood downstairs for a moment, sifting through the workable solutions in his mind. Finally, he remembered an ancient alchemical recipe, although it worked, but the price was not small.
But as long as you kill that person tonight, isn't the price a matter of course?
Morey made up his mind almost instantly. He didn't go to the position where the magic circle was located, and he didn't care that Wang Jiyuan sent someone to follow him, and directly returned to his laboratory with two bodyguards. As soon as he entered the lab, he rummaged through the cabinets and found a few bottles of potion, mixed them with a powder, boiled them in a small pot, and added a few pieces of withered herbs, and in less than five minutes, he strained out a light green potion.
Morey put the potion in the vial, walked out of the chemistry building, and came to an empty intersection, he first took out a silver potion and a pen, and drew a magic circle on the ground that did not look complicated.
"Mr. Morey, what are you?" asked one of the fighters.
"I'm tinkering with the magic circle. ”
"But here is still far from the magic array in the main position?" the warrior wondered.
Moremer looked at him silently, and the man said a little crampedly, "I'm sorry, I lost my words." ”
Morey continued to draw, and soon, the magic circle took shape. Morey stood in the middle of the magic array, and then took out a dark arrow from his clothes, the arrow was dim in the moonlight, exuding a cold temperament. It was the fatal arrow, and it smelled of blood.
Morey held the arrow in his hand in one hand, poured the green potion he had just refined into his mouth with the other, and then closed his eyes. A strange, cold smell flowed down his esophagus, and then his perception became acute, and everything around him seemed to bear a distinctive mark, just as he had received a dog's sense of smell. No, it's not just the sense of smell, it's a special sensation in the dark, much more comprehensive and intense than the sense of smell.
He focused his spiritual power on the arrow, and there were two kinds of breath that had an ethereal connection with him, a strong and bloody aura led him to the building where Wang Jiyuan was, although he couldn't see it, but the corpse on the stretcher seemed to appear clearly in his mind. The other, much fainter, intermittently channeled his thoughts into the darkness outside the school.
It's you! Morey recited a spell softly, and the magic array under his feet shimmered, and suddenly in his heart, that feeling became much stronger, and a figure wearing a black cloak and carrying a bow and arrow flashed in his mind, although it was vague, but Morey clearly knew that this was the murderer.
Morey concentrated trying to see him better, but suddenly he felt his heart beat faster, his headache cracked, his stomach churned, and all the images in his mind dissipated from his mind like broken glass. He knew that this was already his limit, although this tracking potion was powerful and strange, it was extremely hurtful, and today's bottle of damage to his spirit and body, I am afraid that he would not be able to recover from it in three or five months.
Fortunately, that supernatural connection had been established, and for at least two or three hours, he could get a rough sense of the killer's location.
He opened his eyes, quietly wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and looked at a path that led to the south.
"Mr. Morey, is the work done here?" said the soldier just now, "if it's done, let's go back to Camp Commander Wang." ”
Morey frowned, with these two people looking at him, it was definitely impossible for him to run out. He looked around and saw an opportunity to get rid of them.
He pointed lightly with his hand, and an invisible air flow flew by, and an invisible hand took shape in the air. This is a technique commonly used by alchemists, and although it is not very powerful, it is precise and effective. Not far away, a passing empty tricycle suddenly stopped, and the chain fell off somehow, and the cyclist jumped out of the car a little confused, and when he saw the chain hanging on the ground, he couldn't help but shout bad luck.
He saw the three Morey standing on the side of the road, so he shouted, "Brother over there, come and help." I'm in a hurry to get the ammunition for the crossbow bolts. ”
The two bodyguards looked at each other with some hesitation.
Morey took the opportunity and said: "You go and help, it is important to transport supplies, and there is no enemy here." I'll just stand here for a while, is there any danger?"
The two of them thought about it for a while, so they stepped forward to help the man lift the three-wheeled chain. Someone has a hand, and the chain is actually very easy to install, and it takes less than a minute to get it.
But when they finished their work and looked back, Morey, who had been standing there, was gone.
