Chapter 186: The Gray Curtain Rises
Niko's sword-wielding movements are elegant and sharp, her petite body is slightly sideways, and her hands, feet, and sword are located in the same cross-section, as if it has been tempered for thousands of years, without the slightest shortcoming that can be faulted, and therefore reveals a unique beauty of a swordsman.
The cold pupils stared at Baixa and Paladin, looking for a flaw in them, and the blade of the sword moved slightly, and the golden fire of the sun rippled in the air like a rainbow, and the murderous aura spread in an instant.
When Baixa and Paladin saw this, their hearts sank.
Although they always say that Niko is a doll, this is someone from Wangcheng, and she can be selected as a reserve imperial guard, whether it is her own potential or martial arts skills, she must be much stronger than the border guards from border towns like them.
Just now, she was able to fight them evenly with her fists, but now she uses her weapons, coupled with the golden fire of the power of the sun, how can she deal with this...
The sun god burned on Niko's eyebrows, and with her powerful experience and calculation power, an illusory scene appeared in front of her eyes, and the long sword in her hand stabbed forward with a sharp arc, while Baixa and Paladin stopped in place, but suddenly a phantom figure broke away from the main body, making various dodge movements, and jumping at high speed in all directions.
Each phantom represents the dodge action that these two people may make after they draw their swords.
All possibilities are included in the pupil.
There is nowhere to run!
"Return to the sun." The sword light shone as Niko's wrist shook, and the blue blade splashed with light against the golden fire of the sun, accurately matching the originally expected arc, which was an angle that could defeat the two people in front of him at the same time.
However, before she could take a single step, she suddenly made a "bang", the back of her head was heavy, and the whole person fell unconscious to the ground.
Behind Niko, Lugo threw away the blood-stained boulder in his hand and scolded, "Grandma, what are you doing here?" Especially you, Baiza, you are still a military commander, and you can't even beat a little man! What a shame! ”
The two put the knife into the sheath, and Baisa poked back secretly: "Master Chino is also short, can you beat him?" ”
"I, I, I... I won't quarrel with you! Lugo hurriedly stopped the conversation, kicked the unconscious Niko, and asked suspiciously, "What is the situation with this man?" Why are you fighting? ”
"God knows." Baixa walked over and looked down at her, frowned, and said, "This guy suddenly came running over and talking nonsense, saying that we are crazy, there is nothing wrong with Twilight, and that he wants to drive the civilians home and not let them stay here." ”
Lugo looked at the ruins one after another, and laughed angrily: "This person is really interesting, I'm afraid he is not plotting something bad?" ”
"Let's talk about it after tying it up, and when the disaster passes, I'll hand it over to the adults to wait for the fate." After Baisa finished speaking, he tied up Niko with Paladin and Lugo.
The three of them knew that Niko was a transcendent being who could use the power of the sun, so they not only tied her up three times inside and three times outside, but also found an iron bucket, put her inside, and threw her into an iron cage to lock her up, ensuring that she could not break free.
In the shaking, Niko woke up in a daze and found that she couldn't move, and the three big men stood outside the cage and sneered.
Niko struggled desperately, but couldn't get out, like a little white rabbit caught by a hunter.
She looked at the three of them with complicated eyes, and her tone softened: "Listen to me... Something is wrong! Please take me to the Administrator! I don't know why everyone thinks Twilight is destroyed, but in my eyes, there's nothing unusual here! Nothing out of the ordinary! ”
"Your Excellency the Administrator trusted me and brought me back from the royal city, and I am very grateful to him and will not deliberately cause trouble for him! Believe me! Trust me! ”
Lugo wiped the rain from his face, kicked the iron cage down, and left with a curse from Baisa Paladin: "My lord is really unlucky, he brought a fool back." ”
Niko lay motionless in the stagnant water, muttering helplessly, "Why... Why don't you believe me..."
...
Another night passed.
Dettol early morning of the 28th.
The civilians hid under the rain tents, around one bonfire after another, hot in front and cold in the back, and slept very unsteadily, and some of the frail people fell asleep and never woke up, and from time to time they could hear the bitter cries of their relatives, but everyone seemed to be numb.
At this time, Chino is giving orders to the Shilin Town trio.
Chino: "Baiza, it's raining a lot less today, you organize a large army, take the civilians out of Twilight, and relocate them to a nearby town, and you can handle all the big and small matters on the way to refuge on my behalf." ”
Baixa: "Yes! ”
Chino: "The letter to the Governor's Palace has not been responded to for a long time, and I suspect that it was intercepted by a visitor from outside the world. Now the post station has been destroyed, and all the carrier pigeons have flown off, so they can only deliver the letter by manpower. ”
"Paladin, you go to the royal city. Lugo, you go to the Governor's Mansion at Fengyunguan. Please send elite troops to the aid of Twilight City, and be sure to bring high-order transcendents! And be quick! ”
Paladin, Lugo: "Yes! ”
"Woo! - "Before the three of them could leave, there was a sudden strange sound from the sky.
The day shone brightly, the sky became gray, and the gray curtain began to surge like a tide, and for a time the wind and clouds rolled upside down, becoming thicker and thicker, giving people the illusion that it was pouring towards the earth.
At first, everyone thought it was going to rain again, but when they looked at it, it was not a high-altitude cumulonimbus cloud, but a gray substance like a mist that shrouded the entire sky.
If you look far away, you will see that not only the sky, but also the edge of Twilight City has such a gray substance.
The curtain of ashes enveloped the city, cutting it off from the outside world, as if it were about to imprison the wasteland.
Just as the trio of Chino and Shilin Town looked up at the gray curtain, Lu Yutian's voice sounded behind them: "The earthquake shook the mountain, the storm destroyed the city, and then the sky was covered with dust... Now, no one can leave Twilight..."
Chino: "Why?" ”
Lu Yutian: "As you can see, the gray curtain has isolated the city, and it will continue until the end of the Seven Calamities. During this time, creatures can come in from the outside, but they can't get out from the inside. ”
Chino: "You can't get in or out, what's the reason?" ”
Lu Yutian: "The things of the underworld can be understood by ordinary people. ”
Chino pondered for a moment and walked towards the refuge point.
Lu Yutian frowned and followed behind: "How long are you going to delay?" Do we have to let more innocent people die?! ”
Ignoring her, Chino walked straight to the front of the soldiers, took out a silver moon from his arms, and held it high in the air: "I need a group of volunteers to verify something for me." ”
"Let me make it clear first, this matter is very dangerous, it is very likely to be fatal, and I will not force anyone."
But if someone volunteered, his family would receive 200 silver moons. If he dies because of this, his family still enjoys the treatment of martyrs - 300 silver monthly pensions, and the whole family is included in the medical security system, so he has no worries in this life. ”
"You..." Lu Yutian realized what Chino was going to do, and his face suddenly became ugly: "Don't listen to him, everyone!" The sky is covered with dust, and everyone who tries to leave Twilight will die, don't experiment with your own life! ”
The soldiers looked at Chino, then at Lu Yutian, and finally their eyes fell on the silver moon.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, let alone such a heavy reward!
There were more than 500 soldiers in this shelter, and more than 200 people came out directly.
Chino: "If your parents are still alive, but you are an only child at home, or your children are not adults, you will retreat." ”
A large number of soldiers retreated into the queue, and only 24 remained in place.
Chino looked at the 24 men, pointed to the gate shrouded in the gray curtain in the distance, and said, "You only have one mission, pass through that gray curtain and leave Twilight. ”
The 24 soldiers nodded heavily and headed towards the city gates.
Lu Yutian anxiously stopped them and asked, "The gray curtain can only enter but not exit, and everyone who leaves Twilight City now will die, why are you doing this?!" ”
The soldiers looked at each other and remained silent.
In the end, a captain plucked up his courage, his voice was soft, but full of unspeakable power: "With these silver moons, my children can go to school and change their fate..."
When Lu Yu was sluggish, the soldiers passed by her and walked towards the huge gray curtain.
