Chapter 136: The Princess of Eden (33)
On the dirt road between the villages, under the light of the skyrocketing fire, hundreds of sturdy villagers are fighting with dozens of Anubis, and it is Ayilaide who leads the way. The village chief, Isis, was not at the forefront because of his importance, but he was not particularly far from the battlefield, and he was in the middle of the whole team for easy coordination.
With a monster like Anubis as an opponent, the villagers are naturally the side that has suffered heavy casualties and retreated. However, under the desperate struggle of everyone, even Anubis, who was several times stronger than the villagers, was defeated by several of them.
This scene was seen by Paliusis from afar, and even though he had become an enemy, he could not help but feel an endless sense of pride in his heart.
The villagers of Eden Village were born and raised in a difficult environment, so they have developed the character of perseverance in the face of any difficulty.
Therefore, he didn't understand why everyone couldn't understand the correctness of his decision at the beginning, and why they couldn't endure even that level of hardship.
It's not that you're not good enough, it's just that you're lacking good leaders. Therefore, I have to take on this responsibility, so that everyone understands what true wisdom is, and let everyone understand what is really right!
To do this, the first thing is to seize the village!
Thinking so, Palyusto instilled his will into the "Dead King Incense".
Although Anubis is extremely fierce, it lacks unified control, and in fact, less than half of the villagers are fighting fiercely at the moment. The rest are all wreaking havoc in their own right.
It is precisely because they are fighting on their own and not helping each other that the villagers can adopt various tactics to barely maintain a basic stalemate.
However, the situation changed abruptly as Palyusis personally took command of Anubis' army.
"They're scared!"
Amid the excited shouts of the villagers, the Anubis began to slowly retreat. For the first time after such a long and bloody battle, the villagers saw the fierce side of the enemy showing its timid side, which was undoubtedly a ray of victory that inspired everyone.
"Forward! Defeat them!"
"Take back our village!"
"Everyone, rush!"
Suddenly there were shouts of excitement, and the villagers, who had been suppressed for a long time, began to counterattack. The Anubis were indeed losing ground before the crowds.
However, not everyone is carried away by this small hope.
Ayilid didn't move with the others, he stood there gasping for breath, calmly observing the monsters that were moving away.
It's strange that these monsters obviously ignore each other, but they retreat at this time, and they don't stand out in the front, nor do they deliberately make mistakes, it's almost a straight line.
Did they retreat on purpose? But for what?
"Whew!"
Just as Ayilaide was puzzled, a roaring roar came from behind the left. When he heard the sound and looked back suddenly, another roar sounded from the right rear.
"Whew!"
Two loud yells from behind also stunned the villagers who were fighting forward bravely. Everyone looked back and couldn't help but scatter one by one.
Dozens of Anubis split into two teams and fought their way out of the cottage path and launched a surprise attack on both sides of the villagers' ranks, apparently with the intention of cutting off the ranks.
And the part they attacked happened to be where the village chief Isis was!
"No! village chief, get out of the way!"
Shouting, the villagers beside Chief Isis were about to pull him into the retreating crowd.
"No! Ayilid is still ahead, how can I leave him behind!"
"Not anymore! And what would the rest of us do without you!"
"Damn!" Instead, Chief Essis had to take one last look at the crowd in front of him, and retreated under the escort of the left and right.
He didn't find Ayilid at this glance, but Ayilid did. The latter then nodded and shouted loudly.
"Circle Formation! Everyone hurry up and form a Circle Formation! Don't give up resistance! Even if we die here, we can buy time for young people!"
Under his organization, the villagers who were caught in the front and rear did not rout, but quickly regrouped. As a result, the Anubis, who had cut off the villagers' ranks, had to divide another half to defend their backs before they could get a single blow.
"Indeed, my former best friend, Ayilaide, both of whom made such wise judgments. ”
Paliusis watched the situation change from the rear and couldn't help but admire. Immediately, he ordered Anubis's army to suspend the attack to the north of the village, and instead strangle the part of the villagers that were surrounded.
......
As Paliusis praised, the villagers of Eden have a resilient personality, with the men fighting the monsters destroying their homes in front of them, and the women not just hiding in the back and crying helplessly.
The vast reservoir is now not only a shelter, but also a makeshift hospital.
Led by the village chief's daughter, Barrett, the women's ambulance team is active everywhere.
"Miss, this is the kind of green crystal left by the nobles, there are five of them. ”
"Thank you, leave it to me. After taking a piece of crystal from the woman's hand to confirm, Barriet handed over the remaining four to the other party. Immediately, she hurried to a mother-in-law next to her.
The mother-in-law was seriously injured, and there was a twenty-centimeter-long tear under her left rib that was emitting red light particles. However, as long as you use this rare item called "Recovery Crystal" left by Jiang Ling, not only HP can even heal the wound in an instant, but it seems that it has never been before.
"Mother-in-law, wait a minute, I'll cure you immediately!"
As she spoke, Barriet was about to put the crystal on her mother-in-law's wound, but at that moment her mother-in-law reached out to stop her.
"This kind of treasure is not for an old woman like me who is useless, Miss. For a bad old woman like me who has long been buried in the loess, it is enough to leave a little bit of HP to live. It's better to treat those boys than me, and it would be nice to have even one more person fighting ahead. ”
Barriet hesitated, but as her mother-in-law said, she nodded solemnly.
"Thank you, mother-in-law. ”
After the words were closed, she hurriedly got up and ran to the place where the battle wounded had gathered at the entrance to find a suitable treatment target.
It was at this time that a teenager ran over in a panic.
"Reinforcements! Reinforcements! Oh no!"
"Calm down!, what the hell is going on!" Barrett, who heard the shouting, immediately walked out of the reservoir and asked.
"Miss, it's not good! Lord Ayilaid, they are surrounded by monsters! Reinforcements, please send reinforcements for help quickly!"
This is indeed a very urgent situation, and there are a considerable number of people left here in the reservoir just in case, but if they are sent out, the reservoir is completely defenseless.
Thinking about it, Barriet couldn't help but look back at the people hiding in the reservoir, and her eyes swept over the men who were expecting to be ordered to rescue their compatriots.
After weighing it again, Barrett gritted her teeth and said, "Then please everyone!"
"Leave it to us, Miss!"
"Everyone, if it's a man, follow me to the front door to save people!"
In this way, the men guarding the reservoir enthusiastically followed the messengers and rushed to the front line to support Ayilid and other besieged people. And they don't know that this is in the hands of the enemy.
In the shadow of the path between the cottages, Paliusis and Rausis were secretly peeking at the movement on this side of the reservoir.
Seeing that the people who had been guarding the reservoir had left, Rausis couldn't help but admire his father's military methods.
"Everything was as my father expected!"
"Hmph. Nothing to be proud of. In the face of his son's admiration, Paliusis didn't care, "Esis, Ayilaide, their organizational skills and adaptability are not simple, but their vocation has always had nothing to do with military affairs. The village was meant to be an open place, but I only used a little trick to make them focus on the immediate situation and ignore it. In other words, they are nothing more than that. ”
"Yes. Only the father is the most suitable leader. ”
Listening to his son's compliment, Palyusis nodded appreciatively, and then conveyed his thoughts to the Anubis with the censer.
When they made a detour from outside the village to the more than a dozen Anubiston lying in ambush on the outskirts of the reservoir, they spread their footsteps and rushed out of the path.
"Purr. ”
Hearing the sound of low roars and noisy footsteps, the villagers who stayed in the reservoir, led by Barrett, rushed out one after another to investigate, and they couldn't help but be frightened by what they saw.
More than a dozen Anubis formed a half-moon array to enclose the front of the reservoir.
"Miss, this is the monster that attacked the village. One of the wounded immediately reminded Barrett with a weak breath.
"These are the guys, but why don't they attack them?" said Barrett, drawing her dagger from behind her waist and wary of the monsters in front of her.
"That's because I'm manipulating them!"
With a loud shout, Palyusis and Rausis walked out from behind the Anubis.
"Uncle Paliusis!" Barriet exclaimed at once, but she still had difficulty connecting this person to the current situation, "What do you mean by 'manipulation', where are the guards, why didn't they come to the rescue!"
Hearing this, Palyusis smiled smugly and gestured to the monsters behind him.
"The guards' words are here, except that I have made them more loyal and more suitable for battle. And they will attack the village, also because of my orders. ”
"Traitor!" as soon as the words ended, some of the villagers let out a roar of resentment!
"Sure enough, you're a big villain!"
"Murderer!"
"Shut up!" Palyusis roared back, his voice alone enough to drown out everyone, "it's all because of the stupidity of you people!"
Even so, there were people who were not deterred by him.
"You should be the one to shut up!" Barriet scolded with tears in her eyes. It was tears of anger, tears of sorrow, and tears of guilt. "How can you do such an excessive thing by turning the guards into monsters and letting them attack the village! I know that you have always thought about the village, and that you made such draconian decisions so that most of the people in the village could survive to the end, and for this you voluntarily bear the hatred of everyone and the infamy of a tyrant. No one understands your hard work, no one can understand your helplessness, which must make you feel very disappointed and unwilling. But, Uncle Palyusis, no matter how resentful and aggrieved you are, this is the only thing you can do, only to hurt the village, and to hurt everyone in the village!"
Hearing this, Paliusis stared at Barrite stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Hahahaha! I'm so happy, Miss. I didn't expect you to understand me when even your father didn't understand me. To be honest, I'm also quite miserable when I'm doing these things right now. Our ancestors have lived on this land for generations since the time of creation, and they came here on their own, built their villages, and passed them on to the present day. It is the hardships and hard work that have been passed down from our ancestors that have made us what we are today! But look at you now! You actually bow your head and give in to the slightest bit of suffering, and you actually flatter foreign nobles! This is wrong! I must remind you of the spirit of our Eden Village, otherwise one day, we will destroy ourselves!"
After the excitement, Palyusis took a deep breath and calmed down.
"You should be able to understand your words, Miss. If you understand, let's give up resistance and surrender. ”
"I'm sorry, Uncle Palyusis, I don't understand. Barriet shook her head and said, "I really don't understand! What's wrong with people hating pain? What's wrong with being grateful to those who have helped you? If you think you're right, why don't you tell everyone? If people don't understand what you're saying, why don't you try to make everyone understand you? Are you trying to understand why people hate you so much? As a result, aren't you also bowing to suffering? By escaping, by closing yourself. It is only today that I understand that it is not everyone who isolates you, but that you isolate yourself from everyone, and then you don't trust anyone without permission, you only feel that you are right, and you decide everything on your own. I'm not like you, surrender or not, I'm going to let everyone decide!"
As she spoke, Barriet looked back at the wounded behind her, the old and weak women and children behind her.
As Paliusis said, the villagers of Eden have relied on their own hardships for generations, and this spirit has never been discarded.
"We're going to fight!"
All of them shouted in unison, a cry that made Palyusis unconsciously take a half step back. Then, his face was distorted with anger.
"Yes. Then let me see how long you can last!"
At his whim, the Anubis approached Barrite and the people behind her.
