Chapter 461: The Town That Perished
In the afternoon, Stannis and his immediate guards arrived at the ruined town, which had long since been devastated and had lost its former prosperity.
"We're late. Stannis said to himself, it seems that the houses here have only been burned down for a short time, the fire that destroyed them has not been completely extinguished, and the billowing black smoke is billowing and flying towards the sky, if you look closely, you will find that there are countless sad or hideous faces in the black smoke, which is the dead telling their misfortunes.
At the gate of the town, several soldiers were waiting for them, scouts sent by Stanis, who seemed to have been frightened and now dared to stay outside the town to meet the follow-up troops and not dare to return to them anyway.
Stannis nodded at them and said they had worked hard, then asked if there were any special circumstances and asked them to go back to rest first, and the rest was left to him.
The scouts thanked Stannis as if they were eager to flee from here, and then fled away from the place.
Next, Stannis asked the mercenary captain Betsmore to leave half of the men to guard the gate of the town, and the remaining half to follow him into the town, no matter what happened here, judging by the frightened expressions on the faces of the soldiers just now, Stannis was prepared for the worst.
After a few minutes along the blackened country road, Stannis and his party turned the huge mill in the middle of the town and entered the town square, and in a second, a strong fishy stench rushed towards the living people, who quickly covered their noses, and he smelled the burning of dead people.
When the crowd entered the center of the town, most of the guards brought by Stannis could not help but scream, while some of the young soldiers rolled off their horses and vomited, and the whole square was filled with the smell of suffocation.
"You guys, I really haven't seen a big scene, and when you encounter this situation, you vomit like this, you still have to learn more from your king. I said yes, boss, boss?"
Robert had obviously slapped the horse's feet this time, and Stannis had already vomited, because the current scene was the first time he had seen it.
It was the first time he had seen the slaughter of the city so closely!
In the past, he could only learn about this most evil act in human history from words and audio materials, even if he traveled to this obscurantist world full of killings, the examples of the slaughter of the city were only rumors, and this was the first time to witness such a large-scale massacre with such close eyes, but it was only at the first glance that Stannis was about to vomit out all the gastric juices.
Looking at him like this, Robert shook his head helplessly, sometimes he felt that this guy was really a strange existence, he could be as fearless as a heroic spirit, and crying like a sissy.
"Aren't hundreds of people killed here? If you go to the eternal battlefield of Middle-earth, you will not be scared to death on the spot when you see a wall made of human heads!"
"Are you guys made of iron?"
Seeing that his little brother was so indifferent to face the biggest tragedy in human history, Stannis was angry and wanted to smash him with his fist, but he didn't know that if a person had seen too much killing, he would often hide his sadness with such an indifferent tone.
Sure enough, Robert didn't answer him, he just walked in front of the Kyoto temple made of human heads in a relaxed manner, and the terrible buildings made of human heads made of human heads were enough to go crazy just by looking at them, and there were not only adult men, but also women, old people and even children, all of whom looked at the people in front of them with empty eyes with blood and tears, as if telling their misfortunes.
Finally, Robert said to Stannis behind him, "Use your dragon flame to send them to heaven to rest in peace!"
Stannis also stood up silently, it seemed that he was wrong to blame the radish, he took a breath to summon the dragon flame to burn all the bodies of these poor people, in the flames of the sky, one after another corpses turned to ashes and flew towards the sky, probably a hallucination, Stannis actually saw a golden angel appear in this dense black smoke, she spread her dazzling wings, guiding these confused souls to fly towards heaven.
"Sasha......" said Stannis softly, she was still so beautiful.
As if he hadn't heard, Robert commanded the others to collect all the bits of corpses scattered around the town and throw them into the fire, but luckily they had brought with them Romney, the military doctor, who sang the eulogy even though he served the guardian god Hiram - a balancer who never cared about the life and death of all beings.
"Blessed are the dead who have the privilege of obeying the commandments of the gods, as are those who wash their garments, and they may be given authority to the tree of life, and by this gate they may enter into the kingdom of heaven. ”
Finally, after all the corpses were burned, Stannis and the others looked up, this place had become a land of ashes, and perhaps the flowers would bloom in the spring next year.
Although there is not a single living mouth left here, Stannis is not in vain, he at least knows that the Kuroshio will not resurrect the dead and let the dead join their army again, although this is cruel, but at least they will have to face at least tens of thousands of dead armies.
"Well, since there's no value here, let's go back and let the others avoid it as much as possible. ”
Stannis gave the order, and the others got on their horses and returned, all eager to leave the hellish place, and then paralyzed by alcohol to forget the unbearable memory.
But suddenly, this small town began to shake, and the houses that had been burned down and left only the ruins collapsed, but because these guards were all soldiers in a hundred, they all avoided it flexibly, and no one was smashed and buried alive.
"Damn! Earthquake, everyone crouched down with their heads in their hands!" Stannis finally used the avoidance knowledge he had learned in school, but unfortunately no one listened to him.
But this violent shaking came and went quickly, and soon the earth returned to calm, even calm and terrible.
Suddenly, Stannis sounded that the city of Baili also experienced an earthquake before the Kuroshio appeared, could it be ......
As soon as he heard this, his muscles instantly tensed, and he immediately drew his sword as a guard.
"Everyone draw their swords and get ready, those monsters are coming!"
