Chapter 120
Paraven is already in flames!
The most majestic city in all of Calradia had now been burned to the ground, and every street was in flames, either by the original fire, by the explosions, or by the defeated Paravenian defenders to stop us from entering the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But Wuke didn't care about this, and in the process of storming the city walls, he was shot through half an ear by a stray arrow from nowhere, and from that moment on, he began to go berserk, wielding a huge two-headed battle axe, and whirlwind the whirlwind of hastily engaged militia in the heaps of the militia.
Those militiamen, who only receive the most basic military literacy training for three months a year, are standing guard and guarding the city walls, where have they experienced such ferocious killing scenes? Although the previous explosion caused them great damage, the more serious damage was in their morale, and they immediately felt that the most majestic city in all of Calradia was like paper paste, and was instantly disintegrated by an unknown attack, and they immediately had a feeling of irresistibility. Then, with the Eye of Death, Tex occupied the ruins of the city wall, and fired a volley from a high position, and the militiamen simply abandoned their armor and fled.
The real resistance is still stubborn is the palace guards who had retreated to Paravon, and some of the strong-willed militia cadres.
By the time Wuke attacked the city and killed the militia in disarray, the palace guards who had experienced the previous battle quickly adjusted their state, and with the help of the streets that had not yet been ignited by the flames, they temporarily built layer after layer of shield walls, seriously blocking the pace of Wuke's advance.
I looked at the time, a little anxious, at this point, four hours had passed since the battle on Allah's side, and no matter what the tempo was, there should be a result in the battle everywhere now. The fire in Parabun is so loud that it should be seen there, and when the time comes, whether the victor is Claes or Allah, they will inevitably come to Parabun to trouble me, and if we do not make a breakthrough against these remnants of the defenders of Parabun before then, we will probably miss out on Parabun completely.
Wuke also obviously knew this, after two consecutive shocks to no avail, he actually gritted his teeth and gave the order to make a total assault regardless of losses, and everyone, including himself, took off the heavy black armor on his body, and threw himself into the fire on the opposite side with a bang, shirtless, screaming.
As if a demon from hell had come from the Heavens, and when they walked through the burning streets, covered in flames, appeared behind the defenders, the Palauven palace guards finally collapsed, and these people faced the frenzied fangs of the mad python that had been stripped of their heavy armor, and they only resisted a little twice, and they were completely scattered. The most terrifying elite infantry of the Dark Order is far from something that these well-pampered palace guards can compete with.
Wuke is advancing regardless of losses, while the Tex behind him is following forward to cover up, all the houses that appear in the line of sight are all set on fire, and all the shops that appear in the line of sight are all snatched up, and the strange thing is that even in such a frenzied looting, the Dirks have not been affected in the slightest way.
I looked coldly at all this in front of me, to be exact, from the moment the walls of Parabun were blown open, I had completely lost control of this team, and I even suspected that this team itself had their ultimate goal, which was to storm Parabun and carry out an arson raid that was destined to shock the whole of Caladia, and I, I was just a commander who was used by them, to put it mildly, it was just a win-win cooperation, I used my mind and strength to help them attack Parabun, and they gave me the opportunity and ability to fight with Svadia。
Sephiroth also saw my embarrassment and anger, and his face was a little ugly. He touched the handle of the Moon Wheel Knife on his back and asked in a low voice, "Boss, is there anything you need me to do for you?"
I frowned, and pointed to the burning shop in front of me, and in the window on the second floor, two heads poked out, one was a freckled young woman's face, and the other was a childish smiling face, touching my little daughter, who was only four or five years old, her eyes were full of horror, her golden hair slowly curled up and scorched in the flames. They were calling out for help, probably her husband, her father. But what they certainly didn't see was that on the first floor of the burning fire, a corpse that had been cut in two with an axe was slowly turning into char.
I said, "Sephiroth, save them!"
Sephiroth nodded, and in the next second, he appeared under the burning second floor like an instantaneous movement, and suddenly drew his knife and slashed, and in the snowy sword light, a narrow but fast sword wind swept away obliquely, and the surrounding flames suddenly stagnated. He actually cut a clearing in the burning fire around him. Then, Sephiroth flew lightly, and with another blow of the knife out of thin air, he split through the wooden façade that had begun to burn, and reached out to pick up the man.
Suddenly, the rafters of the house, which had been entangled in flames, collapsed with a bang, and the burning wood and stone beams and pillars poured down, and it seemed that they were about to drown all three of them.
At this moment, the young woman, who did not know where the strength came from, suddenly pushed the little daughter in her arms out of the window, and fell into Sephiroth's arms, and the next moment, the young woman, together with the burning house, was buried in the raging flames.
Sephiroth rolled on the ground and held the little girl firmly with his body.
I led the horse to Saphiroth, and suddenly I felt an inexplicable sorrow rise from my heart, for this orphan who lost his parents at a young age, for the fire that raged all over the city of Palaumon, is this what I wanted in the first place?
The shouts of killing are gone.
The little girl, like a lonely cat, had fallen asleep in Sephiroth's arms, and it seemed that a sudden panic and grief had struck her down in an instant. I don't know why, but when I saw her, I felt like I had traveled through a time tunnel and saw myself when I was young.
Collecting firewood in the snow and ice, fishing on the glacier, hunting on the tundra.
I took the little girl from Sephiroth's arms, firmly protected her under my black cloak, I looked at the blazing fire all over the city, and said lightly: "From this day on, this little girl is my daughter." My daughter of Emmons, we depend on each other together and will not let anyone bully her. ”
Sephiroth slowly stood up, glanced at the little girl, bowed deeply, and said in a low but firm voice: "Sephiroth, I will definitely protect the boss and the young master to the death!"
The fire in Paravon was not extinguished until the next morning, and by the time the sun finally came from below the horizon, half of Paravon had turned into black smoke rising from the ruins.
Wu Ke finally returned from his position in the palace with his great axe, which had been dyed crimson, and on his back, a young woman in a white evening dress, motionless, not knowing whether she was alive or dead. Of course, now the white evening dress has been stained with a lot of dirty blood, many places have been rudely torn, and even the face is covered with blood, and it is impossible to see clearly.
Wuke laughed and said from afar: "Boss, this is the daughter of Harlaus, the famous beauty of Svadia, Princess Alfreya......! If you don't mind, why don't you try it too?"
I tilted my head and looked at the woman on his back, a little unbearably. When I was a troubadour, every time I passed through Swadia, I heard people talking about this princess, how she was naturally beautiful, how noble and elegant, and how many noble children dreamed of her before marriage. I really can't imagine how such a legendary woman could have screamed and struggled under a murderer like Wuke last night.
When I looked at Princess Alfreya, she was looking blankly from behind her loose but still velvety golden chestnut hair, with bruises on the corners of her mouth and cheekbones, and many bloody streaks on her fair skin, which showed that she must have struggled violently last night, but even so, it still could not hide her beautiful appearance. When she saw the neatly dressed and sleeping little girl in my arms, her dull eyes suddenly moved, and there was a brilliant and passionate light, and I heard her lips move, and whispered, "Please...... Kill me!"
Without any hesitation, I suddenly pulled out the twilight dagger of the gods in my arms, and stabbed her white and soft, swan-like neck, blood immediately gushed out, but in the next moment it seeped into the left hand of the gods who were covered by the twilight of the gods, and I suddenly felt that the dagger imprisoned in the scabbard seemed to loosen a little.
But before I could comprehend it any deeper, I heard Wuke's angry roar, and then, with this roar, a large axe slashed down from top to bottom, like a mountain.
I blinked subconsciously.
The next moment, with a loud sound of "dang", Wuke stumbled backwards, and a slender blood mark appeared on his chest, directly splitting his solid dark composite armor.
Between him and me, stood Sephiroth, who had moved over at some point, holding the slender moon wheel knife in one hand, a drop of blood was flowing from the blade, and in the other hand he held two throwing knives, looking coldly at Wuke on the other side.
Sephiroth said coldly: "Wuke, do you want to commit the following crimes? Emmons is a first-level inquisitor above the captain!"
This sentence calmed Wuke, and I even saw him shiver very covertly. He stared coldly at Sephiroth, pointed with his finger fiercely, turned his head again, glanced regretfully at the dead Princess Alfreya on his back, raised his hand, threw the princess's body in the ruins by the roadside, patted his buttocks, and staggered away.
I sighed and said, "Now, they're out of my control...... Sephiroth, bury the princess well, and then we'll get out of here. If I'm right, by noon this day at the latest, Allah or Claes will be in Parabun. Claes is fine, if it's Allah...... I really don't know how to deal with him. What's more, there are also the two who came from the direction of Suno and Dehrim, and now I don't want to meet them. ”
Sephiroth nodded, and respectfully walked over and took out the princess's body, and picked up some unburned wood and dry wood, and piled up a cremation table. He put the princess's body on it.
At this time, the little girl in my arms suddenly moved and opened her blank eyes.
I immediately turned away, unwilling to let her see it.
She looked at me even more blankly, as if there were countless flashes of luster in her glassy eyes, which made her wonder, made her trance, made her inexplicable, and finally, these glossy droplets converged, and she clutched her head violently, as if it were suffering a sharp pain.
Finally, when the fire was lit, she struggled to reach out and touch my face, and her little hand was soft.
Then, cleanly, she fainted again.
Sephiroth looked back and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just stimulated, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
I nodded. Overnight, the family was ruined, and no one could stand such stimulation. I said, "Okay, when this side is settled, let's go." Paraven, after all, is not a place to stay for long. ”
"That's right!" another voice suddenly sounded behind me, and Sephiroth's eyes widened.
I felt like a little rabbit being targeted by a tiger, a hot and violent breath spread up my backbone, and I didn't dare to move subconsciously, as if I only moved my little finger once, and the next moment it would be wiped out of the world.
I haven't felt this way for a long time, it's a premonition between life and death, human instinct.
This is the closest feeling to death.
"Beast, let go of that girl!" another crisp, pleasant and familiar voice came from the same direction behind me, and I knew at once who was standing behind me at the moment.
It's Melva, then, the other, presumably Rolf.
I smiled wryly and said, "I can't let her go, she fainted." ”
"Phew!" Melva said angrily, "You still have the face to say, tell me honestly, what did you do to her!"
I said, "I said I didn't do anything but save her from the fire, do you believe me?"
"Ghost believe!" Melva said angrily, "We've been watching it all night, you Dark Order people are all beasts with human faces and beast hearts!Rolf, don't talk nonsense with him, just kill him and get the little girl back!"
I immediately picked up the little girl, but I still didn't dare to turn around, I felt the scorching breath lock on to me, and once I turned around, he would absolutely bake me dry in a thousandth of a second.
"Despicable! Actually use the little girl as a shield!" Melva immediately roared even more angrily, and I heard the distinctive click of the wheel crossbow, and she said coldly, "Let go of the little girl, or you will surely die!"
I steadied my mind, walked forward step by step with the little girl in my arms, gritted my teeth and said, "Believe it or not, I have done nothing to her! I got off her from the fire last night, and from that moment on, I recognized her as my goddaughter." Don't say it's you, Melva and Rolf, even if the whole world stood before me and asked me to hand her over, I couldn't do it!
I heard a cold snort from behind me, and then a sharp screech burst through the air, the same sound that I remembered vividly from Melva's revolt when she robbed me on the outskirts of Djerkhara all those years ago.
Sephiroth in front of me suddenly crouched, and then catapulted out like an arrow, and then flew first past me, and the light of the moon wheel knife flashed, and the iron nail of the wheel crossbow was slashed out of the air.
Melva let out a "huh", and then I heard a tiger roar from Rolf, and Sephiroth snorted, and immediately flew back upside down, full of fireworks, and rolled on the ground several times before he stopped, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Melva said coldly: "Put down the little girl, I'll say it one last time!"
I paused, hesitated for a moment, but in the end, I didn't know why, and I took another step forward.
I said, "Don't you understand, you want to take her away from me unless you step over my corpse!"
"That's good......" Melva's tone was no longer emotional, and a cold "click" came from the back of my head.
"Wait. Rolf suddenly spoke, and he said, "What's your name, and you look like you're young, but you seem to have a high position in the Dark Order?"
I sighed softly, turned my head slowly, and said, "I...... It's called Emmons. ”
"That's right, Brother Old G and Nabal, Emmons!"
I swear that moment, both Melva and Rolf had wonderful expressions on their faces, first shocked, then stunned, and finally watched with vigilance and bewilderment.
"Surprised, isn't it?" I smiled, "yes, I'm a member of the Dark Order!"
This is the first time I've confessed my identity in front of people since I joined the Dark Order, and there has never been a moment when I feel so comfortable and airy.
"That's right, you're really enchanted!" Another voice suddenly came from the top of a former church ruins not far away, and when I heard this voice, I felt my blood boil instantly, and the green veins on my forehead began to jump wildly.
I turned my head suddenly, and at the top of the ruin, there stood a lonely swordsman, holding a straight and slender ring-headed knife, standing so quietly, his eyes as dead ash and dull, but the whole person immediately gave me an extremely dangerous sense of oppression, which was faintly close to the oppression that Rolf had given me.
It's a dragon!
At this moment, the dragon also happened to look down at me, and those eyes, which were originally dim as gray, instantly rose with a raging hatred and anger, if the gaze could have a color, the dragon's gaze would be red at this moment.
I believe that my gaze must be the same color.
I took the little girl into my arms, and then, with one hand, pulled out the dagger of the gods' twilight, and with the other he grasped a sharp knife.
The Li family's flying knives!
