Chapter 1506: The Gathering Place
Sissi has put in great effort and effort, and in the situation of a complete rout of the battle, she is still under endless pressure, and implements the Auroville Ship retreat plan in accordance with the combat deployment left by Downton before his death.
This is definitely a miracle in military history, not to mention saving the lives of tens of millions of Xitu people, and also retaining the last spark and hope for fighting back against the evil gods.
It's a pity that the battlefield is too big, affecting almost half of the continent, especially the core cities of Twilight, London, and Paris, which are important battlefields besieged by evil gods.
As a last resort, the people in these areas were left behind as outcasts to contain the enemy's army, and by the end of the battle, they had been killed and wounded, and the second battlefield opened up by Sissi attracted the firepower of the evil god army, so these people were able to be ignored and survive.
Twilight was born in this environment, but the situation in the gathering place is getting more and more difficult, even if it is just the enemy's routine patrol, it can bring a huge threat to them, and even more terrifying is the lack of supplies, the radiation of the blasphemous power, destroying the bodies of the Westlanders all the time.
Some people have long suggested that there is at least a glimmer of hope for leaving the gathering place and going to the Ark of Light, and if you stay, you will definitely die, but there are many old, weak, sick and disabled people in the gathering place, and once you move, it means abandoning them......
It's a heavy and painful decision, and Twilight's father, the Imperial General, Templar, Grand Legend, and the current leader of the Gathering, is hesitating.
"If His Majesty Downton were still alive, he would definitely be able to lead us to defeat the evil god. ”
Every time she talks about this, a woman's eyes reveal endless hatred for Heinrich, remembrance and regret for Downton.
Ironically, this man, who was once hailed as the hope star of the mainland, has brought more harm to Xitu.
"You can rest in peace!"
Downton unleashed his magic once again to heal the woman, and the power of the curse in her body was too much. With his magic effect, it can't be restored immediately.
"Twilight!"
The woman shook her head and wanted to call her daughter in, the older boy had brought a lot of gifts, and if she had left it before, the woman would definitely not want it. But now, several families need this food to save their lives, so she has to ask the woman to send it quickly.
"Thank you so much for the gift. ”
The woman was heartily grateful, full of doubts about Downton's origins, and it didn't matter if the evil god's subordinates, Heinrich's spies, at least the food was real.
What is the coveted value of a gathering place that is about to collapse? When a woman sees her emaciated husband who is about to collapse, she understands that this place will not last long.
"At least. Let those children have a few delicious meals before they die. ”
The woman herself will never eat, but she screams a few times, but Twilight doesn't respond.
In the mirror, the familiar 'little flame' was burning violently, like a candle in the wind, and Downton got up.
"I'll go out for a while!"
After turning around, Downton's face sank. If someone dares to hurt that kind and sensible little girl, he will destroy the other party's nine clans.
In a slightly brighter sewer. A dozen children trembled and hugged each other, hiding in the corner, watching Uncle Montgomery go crazy.
"Get out of the way!"
Montgomery's blood-stained and muddy boots stomp on the foxhound's body, and if it weren't for Twilight's desperate arms around him, his dagger would have been stabbed down.
"Don't kill Xiaobai!"
Twilight cries and her whole face is glazed.
"Get out!"
Montgomery was getting impatient.
Whining!
A pleading growl escaped from the little white's throat. It's just an ordinary foxhound, and even adults can't beat it, let alone a magician.
"Xiaobai saved my life. Twilight pleaded, "And it's my father's birthday present!"
This bearded, equally emaciated and decadent uncle. Looking at Twilight's pitiful appearance, a trace of unbearability flashed in her heart, but then she gritted her teeth and used her right foot hard, ready to trample Xiaobai to death.
Bang!
Montgomery was kicked in the waist and fell.
"What are you doing, bad guy!"
When Twilight sees Montgomery being beaten, she immediately gets anxious, pulls out the dagger at her waist, and turns around to pounce on her, but when she sees Downton, she is stunned again.
"Huh?"
Downton was going to clean up the uncle, but Twilight's reaction was completely wrong, and she seemed to care about the man who was going to kill her pet.
"Who are you?"
Montgomery was vigilant, a clever little child, who had blown the whistle to warn.
"What's going on?"
Downton waved his hand and threw a healing spell to Xiaobai, whose ribs were guessed to be broken.
"Woo woo, Dad is going to kill Xiaobai. ”
Twilight hugs Xiaobai, and the crying pear blossom brings rain.
"If you're hungry, go find food yourself. ”
Downton heard hurried footsteps around him, but didn't care.
"Blackie, you brought him in?"
Montgomery stared at Twilight and yelled, "Have you forgotten the rules of the gathering place, you can't bring strangers in?"
"Big brother is a good guy!"
Twilight shuddered in fright, but retorted as she opened her hands in front of Downton, "Don't kill him!"
The armed forces of the gathering place appeared, and without exception, they were all thin and humanless, and they looked like lonely ghosts.
"Uncle Kama, Uncle Asen, Dad wants to kill Xiaobai. ”
When she sees a few uncles who take good care of her, Twilight immediately cries.
"Xiao Hei, don't blame your father, your Uncle Tom is seriously injured and needs nutrition......"
A middle-aged man said half a sentence, and then he couldn't say any more, the foxhound was brought back by the head of Montgomery, and it has been six years since he gave it to Xiao Hei, he is a playmate, a pet, and a friend.
When the foxhound rescues Maggot-digging Twilight from the ghouls' claws and almost dies, everyone in the gathering area knows that Xiaobai is already a member of the family.
"Be good, obedient, I'll catch you another one later. ”
Montgomery couldn't help it, eat something. Tom might be saved.
"Impossible, there are even a lot fewer maggots now, how can there be dogs!"
Clever little Twilight can't be deceived by such childish lies.
"Then you're going to watch Uncle Tom die!"
Montgomery roared.
Twilight's body shakes and she looks down at Bai Bai, who is curled up in her lap and rubs her head against her calf. Big tears rolled down.
Silence pervaded, and the air seemed to freeze.
In the eyes of adults, the weight of a dog is, of course, not as heavy as that of a companion, but in the hearts of children, it is equivalent.
"I ...... I ......"
Twilight's lips tremble, and she subconsciously retreats, trying to leave Xiaobai, but Xiaobai whimpers. Catch up.
"Enough!"
Downton roared, forcing a little kid to make this kind of choice, what's the difference with scum?
"Who are you?"
The sight of Cama and his entourage was very unfriendly, Downton's clothes were too clean, and the people were too healthy, you know, only Heinrich's subordinates would have this kind of life.
"That's right. Big brother, you have food. I'm willing to trade with you, yes, I'm willing to do anything for you. ”
As if she had discovered a new world, Twilight turned around and hugged Downton, "I'll sell myself to you." Be your servant. ”
"I'll give you food. ”
Downton crouched, not disgusted by Twilight's dirtiness, and affectionately stroked her dry and sallow hair, "But I don't need a slave, I just need a sister." ”
"I know that the big brother is the best. ”
Twilight happily hugs Downton. He stretched his neck and wanted to offer a kiss, but he knew that he was too dirty, so he stopped.
Downton laughed and kissed the little girl on the forehead.
"Leon is a good man!"
Twilight's mother walks out, and Downton knows that this woman has a very high status in the gathering place, judging by the fact that Karma and her party bow their heads.
Downton took out some ham, and the sound of swallowing immediately rang out.
The problem is solved, the misunderstanding is cleared, Montgomery turns out to be Twilight's father, but he is obviously a man who adheres to the virtues of the Eight Knights, otherwise he is the leader of the gathering place, and he is also the strongest legend, as long as there is a little selfishness, his daughter and wife will not starve into this ghostly appearance.
"I can't help it!"
Looking at his daughter playing not far away, Montgomery sat on the steps, stroked his gaped sword, and sighed incessantly, if it weren't for his wife and daughter, he would have launched a death charge against the Evil God Army, seeking relief.
"I still have some supplies here, let's distribute them first!"
Downton opened the bronze door, and the elemental arm carried boxes of supplies out of the war space, and soon, a small mountain was piled up.
"It's ......"
Montgomery pounced, used the long sword as a crowbar, opened the box, and saw tin cans, neatly placed, and was suddenly surprised, "Frankford's cans?"
"You know?"
Downton was stunned, Frankfurt was about to face constant war, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, he made the Krupp giants develop all kinds of cans based on the food preservation technology of the world in the dream.
It's only been on the market for a long time.
"Of course, this is a great invention of His Majesty Downton, a can can be sold for a dozen gold coins, and only the nobles can afford to eat it. ”
Montgomery swallowed.
"What are you kidding?"
Downton retorted, "That's what the Frankfurt soldiers are all about to do." ”
"Yes, even the Evil God Army knows that the Frankfurt Legion has the most complete logistical supplies, and ordinary soldiers eat better than the nobles, but other people's soldiers are also the most capable of fighting, after the fall of the Beiluo Division and the complete breakage of the logistics supply line, they can still take down seventeen fortresses in a month and attack the top of despair, even the Death Star Legion of Heinrich's traitor, can't do it. ”
"Big brother, what is this?"
Twilight and a group of children run over, tiptoeing over the box.
"Canned!"
Downton picked up the cans of fruit, unscrewed them, and handed them to the children, seeing that they didn't even know the fruit, and his hatred for the evil gods and Heinrich in his heart was even greater.
"Taste it, the value of such a bottle of canned food now can make my big legend work hard!"
Montgomery was a little self-deprecating, but it wasn't much the same. (To be continued.) )
