Book 865 The Coffin and the Body
One second to remember, providing you with high speed. The Shrine Army was informed that they would come to the area around the main temple to defend themselves and pull down the second-level defenses, which meant that they had everything they needed except for the fact that they didn't have to build a horse tower and didn't need to dig a trench.
The soldiers were a little puzzled by such a move to engage in a large battle in the city, not that the battle was too big, but that such a battle did not evacuate the people in the city, which was a little unreasonable, and it stands to reason that if there is really any reliable information, evacuation is a more effective way of protection than defense.
The commander of the Divine Temple Army was also thinking about evacuation, but he also reported the situation, saying that he had received reliable information that the Divine Temple would be attacked, and he hoped to be able to deal with it as appropriate. As a result, good words and persuasion were naturally not recognized, and the priests felt that it was their duty for their army to protect their normal work and rest life, so they refused to avoid choosing to let the army and the enemy go head-to-head.
At this time, the head of the chamber of commerce was hiding in the temple, but not in the hall or any prayer room, but found a place to hide.
The soldiers outside the temple didn't think that there would really be an enemy attacking the temple, because there was no point in doing so, and they couldn't imagine anyone who would dare to be disrespectful to the gods. Heretics are only available abroad, and it is impossible for enemy troops to infiltrate the Temple City far from the border, so attacking the temple or something is a rather exaggerated nonsense.
Just when all the soldiers were about to stand guard and then go back to the barracks to rest, the temple army and the defenders in the direction of the west city gate noticed something unusual, and there seemed to be a large army galloping towards the end of the sight. After the other party got closer, it was determined that it was the white apes who caused the commotion.
The soldiers hated these things so much that when they saw that they were about to enter the city again, the officers gritted their teeth and ordered the soldiers to defend with all their might, saying that nothing would allow them to destroy the city like that again.
Both the Temple Army and the City Defenders are less adept at fighting without the help of the Patronus in the army, facing a surging wave of enemies. A large number of archers rushed to the city, the gates were closed, the citizens were dispersed, and the warriors with large shields lined up out of the city.
Otis was riding on the back of a white ape, and because of the long hairs he had to grab and secure, the vehicle was not too bad to ride.
She had a big fight with her friends in the sparrow's suburban villa before. Afterwards, about the attitude and words spoken at that time, Ottis also thought about something somewhat. Originally, she didn't think she had any problem with the troublemaker with that businessman, even if the girls' home was destroyed because of this, she couldn't blame herself. Today, the girls who fled were killed, and she knew very well that someone wanted to provoke her, and she felt sad in her anger, and at this time she could no longer remove herself from the incident, and she could not blame others.
"That's my fault!"
Standing on the back of the white ape, Xotis followed the army on her way, and soon encountered the first rain of arrows that greeted her.
Several times into the city. She has suffered some resistance from some army, all of which are sporadic and sporadic in all of them. This time, the scale of the arrow rain was much larger, and the sound of arrows passing through was intensive. Putis was still very afraid of this thing, and immediately crouched down and used his white ape as cover, while secretly looking ahead, wondering how many enemy troops there were.
The white apes are agile and never need a city gate, so it is almost impossible for these soldiers to take a detour over the wall to enter the city. As soon as he looked up, he saw a large pile of soldiers waiting for him in front of the main gate. She didn't want to waste time here, so she ordered the white ape to charge.
For her army. A direct head-on break is much less time-consuming than a slight detour.
The order was given, and the white apes on both sides immediately accelerated and ran away from the team, waving their fists and punching them towards the queue. The white ape's weight and stature were their strongest weapon, and they pounced on the army and immediately tore their ranks apart.
The officer commanding the city defense knew that the situation must be very bad after the army came into contact with the monster, but he didn't expect that the human soldiers couldn't resist even a second, and they were instantly crushed by the flood-like monsters.
"What can I do......
The city defense equipment has not yet had time to start. There is no time to boil boiling water, this is not a normal battle for defending the city under normal circumstances. That said, the damage caused by the white ape has been quite great in recent times, and the army has long been prepared to deal with these things, and a large number of fire oil canisters have been equipped in the army. The canisters had already been carried up the walls to wait for the enemy to approach.
The Ottis did not encounter too strong a resistance, and the soldiers were scattered and fled. She shook her fist at the fleeing soldiers and yelled, "You should be more dutiful!!" and laughed and ordered her men to smash the gates.
The white ape's fist smashed on the iron fence outside the city gate, and suddenly a puff of dust was raised, which was a large number of cracks in the junction between the stone city wall and the iron fence. It didn't take long for the rift to grow big enough, and then the entire bars were torn off.
Just as the white ape was clutching at the iron bar and beating the wooden hanging door, the first pot of fire oil that had been dropped from the city wall fell to the ground with a clatter, followed by a rain-like clay pot tumbling down.
A crackling sound soon resounded on the white apes, their fur stained with black oil. Sniffing the scent, he made sure the defenders were fighting, and glared at the men on the walls who were still holding torches in broad daylight. She yelled at her men to retreat, but the dropped torches set several of them on fire.
Most of the hairy animals are afraid of fire, and the two burning hairy monster-like white apes howl and run in all directions, bumping into their other companions in the process of escaping. Some of the white apes that were hit had oil and some did not, but they were all flammable, and they began to catch fire as soon as they came into contact with the fire.
Seeing this, Otis gritted his teeth and crunched, and ordered the two white apes to climb the wall and attack the enemy, while he himself chose to take a detour with his team.
She didn't want to waste time here, and she knew that her enemy was not these dutiful defenders, so it would be better to let it go.
The soldiers on the city walls were extremely weak after being approached by the white ape, and they were soon all thrown off the city, and a large number of soldiers climbed the city walls to besiege the two intruding enemies.
After breaking into the city, Xotis is still attacked by arrows, but the frequency is negligible. Without hindrance, she ran all the way to the temple area, and was met with resistance from the temple army stationed here.
Zhou Shu was called out to help by the night bee and the crane Rhine. The two girls turned a corner and went to the house where the tiger girl stayed at night to continue to gather rescuers.
Having just arrived at Yulu's house, the two enter the house as ghosts, find the tiger girl, and appear in front of her.
The tiger girl was frightened by the sudden appearance of the two people, "Can't you say hello before you show up?" I just almost killed you two with one punch." ”
The two quickly apologized. Then he grabbed the tiger girl's two arms and pulled her outside the house, explaining the situation as she went.
"There's a fight at the temple?" the tiger girl looked at the night bee and the crane in embarrassment, "but I can't leave." ”
"Can't leave?"
The head of the tiger girl gently pointed to the next room, and said to the two, "Last night...... The heron is dead, the daughter of the owner here, the new friend of the night......"
Worried that the two of them didn't know who the Xilu was, the tiger girl helped explain it, which was redundant.
It's like Night Bee and Crane Rhine watching Zhou Shu in a ghost state. They also appeared with her once after determining the permanent place of residence of Xiye, and symbolically monitored her for a while.
The two need to figure out whether the Tiger Girl, the only candidate god who has not been asleep, will pose a threat to themselves, and the monitoring result is naturally good, otherwise the two would have run away long ago. They also know about the person of Xilu, and they know that Xiye is very good friends with her.
"Dead......," Night Bee said with a spasm in his heart, "is it the plague in the city lately, why don't you go find the sparrow, she might be able to save it." ”
The tiger girl put on a bitter face. "That's why I guess I can't leave. Everyone thought it was no big deal, but it happened last night...... Sorry for the night, this will be in the house to blame itself. I had to stay and comfort her. ”
The three of them looked at each other a few times. Then tacitly pushed open the door to visit the night. At this time, the body of the heron has been sent away, after all, it is sick and dead, and the body needs to be isolated from the living as much as possible.
Pushing open the door, the haggard Xiye was sitting at the table, staring at the ceiling with her cheeks crossed. Just looking at her appearance, she looks like an ordinary girl who is in unrequited love, but the three people who enter the door know that the situation is much more troublesome.
"Cherish the night. Your friends came to see you. The tiger girl said hello and left, leaving her worries to someone else to deal with.
Xiye seems to be in good shape, looking lost but not in a bad state of mind.
"I've heard it all. Night Bee moved a chair for Crane Rhine to sit down, and then he sat down. "Let's talk about it and talk about the sad things. ”
Crane Rhein blinked. I felt that there was some pity for the night, and the friend I just made left like this.
She turned her gaze to the two of them and sat up straight. She didn't know what to say, and she didn't feel like she needed to be enlightened. In her opinion, she is a normal person at this time, and normal people will have the same reaction as herself when they encounter this kind of thing. Of course, it is also a normal reaction to come and comfort yourself.
"Today is Yulu's birthday. Xiye opened her mouth and said the first sentence, "I originally promised to help her celebrate her birthday." ”
Night Bee and Crane Rhein looked at each other awkwardly and sighed 'bad luck'. It was not only the dead Xilu who was unlucky, but also the two of them who came to report the news. They wanted to tell the story of the girl being attacked again, but now they can't say it at all, and they don't want to make the night feel even heavier.
There's nothing I can't think about in the night, just a little sad. She thinks that Xilu is a good partner, and now that people are dead, they are dead when they die.
"Night bee, sit with me for a while. She felt that she needed someone to accompany her, and that it would be better.
Night Bee rolled her eyes in her heart, she knew that her rescuer might not be able to move over in time, and she began to worry a little about Zhou Shu, who ran alone to stop the war between Ottis and the Temple Army-
When Zhou Shu rushed to the temple, the conflict had already occurred, and the white ape and the soldiers were fighting, basically three or four people besieging a white ape, not seeking to kill the other party, just delaying to attract and contain.
The purpose of the Temple Army is very simple, in terms of numbers, their thousand people are much more advantageous than more than a hundred white apes. They want to use five hundred to eight hundred people to spread these hundred dollars, and then let two teams of hundred people annihilate these things one by one.
No matter how strong the white ape is, if he attacks at the same time with a hundred people and a hundred spears, he will be stabbed to death on the spot.
Ottis is not a monkey's head, and as a general, she has easily cracked this method that is only effective against stupid animals. She ordered her team to join her. Break through the enemy's defenses. After the powerful creatures such as the white apes began to form teams, the human soldiers basically had no choice but to erect shields to cover the archers for harassing attacks.
Zhou Shu watched a white ape grab a soldier and bite him to death in his mouth, and he knew that Putis had killed him this time.
The white ape is basically free for him, but in order not to make trouble for himself, he still chooses to take the air road. Fly from the sky to Xotis. He only needed to dissuade Otis from messing with these soldiers, and the task was still easy.
Take off, fly, fall on the spot. After seeing Zhou Shu, Ottis greeted him in a relaxed tone, "Yo, foreigner, why did your face change back?"
Zhou Shu has now lifted the power of the hundred shapes, and his whole face is very Asian. About this face, Ottis had heard about it before. But it's the first time I've seen Zhou Shu's true face.
Master Zhou smiled and pointed to the battlefield with his chin that had broken limbs, "Why did they recruit you and kill them like this?"
"I just want to enter the temple or ask the temple to hand over the head of the chamber of commerce, but these soldiers won't listen to me at all." ”
"Stop fighting. I'll take you into the temple. Zhou Shu patted Putis on the head, which was a bad habit of his. Ottis wasn't one of the girls he knew. Very sensitively opened the big hand placed on his head.
Zhou Shu smiled and grabbed the arm that Xiaotis slapped himself, and then harnessed the flames to let himself slowly rise into the air. He is not good at flying manned. Strictly speaking, even if he flew alone, he didn't do particularly well. Fortunately, the distance is not far enough, but it can hold on for a while.
When Ottis saw Zhou Shuhui flying, the whole person immediately became happy.
"You will fly, you said it earlier, then what else will I fight!" she pointed to the soldiers who were killed by her white ape with a complaining face, "These casualties must be recorded on your head, and you are to blame for not speaking clearly!"
Zhou Shu doesn't care. smiled at the girl, "Cheng, it's all on my head, you didn't kill anyone, you can go to heaven after you die." Okay?"
Ottis jumped off Zhou Shu. yelled and let his white ape form a defensive formation and stop attacking. Zhou Shu landed on the ground, held her in his arms in the posture of a princess, and prepared to take off with her.
At this moment, a coffin on a cart slid down to the white apes with the combined push of several soldiers, and a name was written on the coffin.
Zhou Shu was illiterate, and glanced at the coffin curiously, and when he saw the word "Wandering Bird" written on the coffin, he immediately opened his eyes angrily.
The soldiers who pushed the coffins were fakes, and it was not difficult to pretend to be officers and soldiers in such a chaotic place, they were arranged with razors specifically to provoke the Otis.
Otis jumped off Zhou Shu again and walked to the coffin to open it, and after taking a look, he was so weak that he knelt on the ground, his eyes were pitch black, and the scene was all blurred and blurred.
Zhou Shu also took a look, it was a female corpse without clothes, the head was cut off, the skin at the neck was sewn up, but there was no blood. The arm was also cut off and treated with a similar suture technique. As for the severed arm, it was very mockingly inserted into the lower body of the female corpse, and Zhou Shu could be sure that the person who did this was trying to provoke the person who saw the corpse. At the same time, he was willing to bet that the Owlis was going crazy at the sight of this.
In addition to this, the nipple-head on one side of the corpse wears a metal piece that looks like a bookcase of pure gold. Zhou Shu didn't know what this thing meant, but Xiaotis knew that she also had one of this kind of jewelry, or that all the girls who graduated from the girls' home on that day had one.
The relationship between Ottis and the bird is not good, but it is also a friendship. She quickly recovered from her state of loss and closed the coffin for the three white apes to protect. Then he yelled at the rest of his men and ordered, "Kill all these soldiers!
