23 [Star of the Night]
After chatting for a while, the sky should be about to dawn, and the south gate that can't be beaten at night, the werewolf can't come again during the day, and if he wants to come, he will come at night, and the next batch of reinforcements from the inner city will definitely arrive before that, thinking about it, his previous thoughts have not changed, and he still decided to leave the little girl here.
The Holy Healer Awakened in front of him felt very reliable, which also turned the vague good impression of the Golden Armor Knights into a substantial affinity, and handing over the little girl to the other party was obviously more reassuring than taking it with him.
As for the excuse for this kind of question...... What's so embarrassing about him, didn't the other party say that he wanted to thank himself?
......
The Commander's reaction was not far from what Al had expected, and after repeated verification, Glenn was able to confirm that there was nothing wrong with his ears.
The little girl fit the bill, she was above the vague but shining dividing line.
But Gran has a lot of concerns, he is worried about whether the werewolves will attack here, and at the same time repeats the suggestion, hoping that Al will stay, not only not to be separated from his fiancée, but also to help the garrison at the south gate strengthen the defense and wait for reinforcements to arrive. On the one hand, I am also worried about Miranda's willingness, after all, the main owner is still asleep.
Al told the other party everything he had learned about in the East Outer City, of course, there was something he couldn't say about himself and Miranda, and then added some of his own analysis.
Whether she wants to or not, she must stay, relatively speaking, this isolated island that is blocked by wild beasts and blocked by wild beasts is the most suitable place. ”
After a pause, he continued, "Let's go out and talk, and by the way, I also want to see what is the scene outside the city walls, blowing the breeze from above." As soon as the morning dawns, I'll leave, and the little girl will leave the rest to you—"
"Okay-what?!"
"—Whether it's a deception or a tie-up, it's up to you, but if I come back, she'll be bad, you know. ”
"How can the church do such a thing!" Gran was a little angry, they have always picked on others, even if they have suffered heavy losses and urgently need to replenish their blood, then they will not be forced to buy and sell!
"Isn't that what you did when you first started?"
"Gree......" Gran choked for a moment, and then said, "You can grow up slowly, your strength can be enhanced, your skills can be exercised, and your knowledge can be accumulated, but if her heart is not here, how can she become a determined warrior?"
Al had already made up his mind, so he didn't speak again, he slowly pulled his hand out of Miranda's arms, like pulling his own roots out of the soil, some of them were too brittle and tender, and they were left in the soil forever, the process was a little uncomfortable.
It took him a long time before he pulled out, laid the little girl down on the wooden bed, and quietly walked out with the stiff-faced commander's shoulder armor around him.
At this time, the full moon in the sky had disappeared without a trace, it was the darkest time before dawn, and it was still night outside, and as soon as he went out, the evening breeze blew Al with a stirring spirit, and the only source of light was the two rows of torches on the city wall that were hunted by the breeze.
He always felt that these tenacious and indestructible orange-red elves were actually a true portrayal of the garrison of the three outer gates.
They walked out of the towers and down the corridors of the city walls, stopping only after making sure that the sound of their voices would not disturb the sleeping people.
Looking down at the side of the city, he saw the open space in front of the gate that had just been in a fierce battle, and the corpses of the warriors were no longer visible, and Gran told El that the dead would be put together and buried after dawn, and the bodies of the werewolves would be piled aside and cremated after dawn.
The ground was covered in blood, and there were only bits and pieces left, maybe broken limbs, internal organs, eyeballs and other things, and after looking at it for a while, Al still didn't remember what he had done in that clearing.
He walked to the other side, leaned on the battlements and looked out, and the cool breeze on his face instantly poured into his chest and lungs.
The scene outside the city gives people the illusion that heaven and earth are upside down, and the pure, deep darkness at the junction of heaven and earth is the woodland of the valley, the edge of the forest of giant trees, with this as the dividing line, the starry sky seems to be trampled underfoot, but the dark earth hangs upside down.
As far as the eye can see below the dividing line, there are large expanses of constantly flickering green fluorescence, some of them are moving, some seem to be still for 10,000 years, some are bright and some are dark, some are far and near, the most naughty, almost under the root of the wall, the light of the torch shines, driving away the camouflage and revealing the essence, this pair is right, it is actually the eyes of werewolves!
He still underestimated the number of beasts, and if the gates were opened, they would only have to rush forward regardless of the need, and everyone would be trampled to minced flesh by the beast's beautiful legs with four short blades.
The new face just appeared on the city wall, and several werewolves on the edge of the light immediately made strange movements in this direction, and at the same time made a strange cry in their mouths, Al was a little confused, and was about to ask for advice, when he heard a swear word in the mouth of a silver-armored soldier on duty nearby, and shot an arrow in that direction when he opened his bow, the werewolf seemed to have been prepared, and the arrow disappeared into the darkness as soon as it came out of his hand, and the bow was useless, and the werewolf went and returned.
"Don't waste the arrows," Gran said to stop the soldier from trying to get the arrows from his quiver, "even if you kill these guys, it doesn't make much sense, let's keep them for the guys inside." ”
The soldier immediately withdrew his hand and replied respectfully, "Yes, my lord." ”
The soldier was peeking at Al, and several people nearby, including this soldier, were doing the same, they were curious about this blood-colored maniac who seemed normal now, but had been scurrying around the field before, just attacking and ignoring the defense, and looking at the look on their faces, if it weren't for Gran's presence, they would have gathered around and asked questions.
Gran nodded, and then explained to the puzzled Al, "The werewolves' behavior just now should be their provocative way, which actually looks very funny, but the meaning behind it makes people angry. ”
Al thought for a moment, raised his middle finger downward, and scolded, "Damn, then you still tell me what to do, it was supposed to be quite fun, but now I can't help but get angry." ”
Thinking that it was not enough, he erected another one, and then the movements of the werewolves below became more exaggerated.
"Yo, this works," Al Le asked, turning to Gran, "What if I stood up and peed on them?"
"It's better not to. ”
"Why?"
"You could get kicked off by a mystery man. ”
"......" Al blinked and choked, "You're paralyzed." ”
......
"At first we fired feathered arrows at werewolves who were very close, but it was useless to do anything other than kill some inconsequential ones and give them a grasp of our range, and this group of reinforcements didn't bring many bows, so we decided to use them for something more meaningful. ”
"If the door is opened—"
"In fact, there are so many of them that you can enter the town without opening the gates. Gran sighed.
Al's eyes widened, and he wondered, "What do you mean?"
"You see, there's a lot of it here, and there's that one, and a little bit further on, it's denser over there, and there's definitely still one in the woods," said Gran, pointing to the area where the first green light was dense, "Look at the height of our walls. ”
The height of the city wall?Al was stunned, and poked his head out to take a look, which drew even more exaggerated provocations from the werewolves below, who screamed and made all sorts of funny gestures......
He realized that he wasn't that far from them, and that the walls weren't too high—relative to their numbers.
Al understood what the other meant.
"So what are they waiting for?"
"Who knows?" said Gran's laugh a little sarcastically, "maybe he wanted to use the hand of time to sift through the guys to use as stepping stones, or maybe he was wondering if he could move two giant trees to use as ladders." ”
Whether the werewolf stepped on the slope made of starving companions or entered the city wall along the huge tree erected on the city wall, it was really a little mad, facing the countless pairs of hungry green eyes and the bloody mouths dripping with saliva, probably all the living creatures in Luolong City would be driven crazy.
"And what about the reinforcements? I don't mean from the inner city, but from outside the outer city to the west, when will they arrive?"
"Who knows?"
It dawned on him that Gran's sarcasm was not aimed at the werewolves who were crushing the city or the garrison at the South Gate, which had suffered heavy casualties.
