Chapter 21: The Man Chosen by the Demon God
"Anna, why don't you go back with them?"
Vivi sends off the Redwood guards, and as Renault orders, their wagon is loaded with several large barrels of spirits. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The ratio of grain to wine production is about 50%, and Renault used a ton of sorghum and wheat for these barrels.
This is her gratitude and reward to Momiji, and it is also the foundation he has laid for future business cooperation.
As for the blue stone that Lauren took from the guards, he could only pretend not to know, and he would be thick when he should be cheeky.
Anna pointed to a few flying species circling in the sky and said to Vivi, "Those guys are coming soon, I want to catch a few back, like ...... You Renault did that, I think it's fun to use them for warmth.
Vivi smiled, using the demonic beast to breathe fire to keep warm, only Lord Renault in the world could come up with such a magical idea, and only he dared to do so, and even regarded him as a heretic, but I didn't expect Anna to be eager to try.
In fact, Anna didn't want to catch any flying species, she took the initiative to stay because she wanted to participate in this war. Redwood Town is too peaceful, and as a powerful Awoken, she has a heartfelt desire to fight.
And in this strangely shaped big iron bucket, she felt an indescribable atmosphere. They ate the coarsest sorghum rice and drank boiled water after the snow had melted, but they were fighting against the demon rats that were ready to die. And not only did they not have the slightest fear, but they were able to sing happily.
And the one who caused all this was the strange lord named Renault.
The last time I saw Renault, he was a little bit of a goofy guy. But now Renault not only has the No. 21 demon spirit, Blaze, but also has become a great inventor.
The strangely shaped crossbows and crossbow arrows can actually blow up rocks hundreds of meters away, and even the power of the demon spirit is not so strong.
This is the second reason why she stayed, she felt that Renault must have a lot of secrets, for the sake of the master Momiji, or maybe just to satisfy her curiosity, she also wanted to observe more of this former "Dasha Lord".
Renault asked people to move out of an iron cage with a demon rat, and when the enchanted arrow drilled into the demon rat's body and began to burn, the demon rat jumped and roared wildly in the cage, but it could not resist the high temperature from the inside of the body, and soon turned into a charred black dry corpse.
In addition to Anna, who was more shocked, the miners were already accustomed to it, and their first reaction was no longer how magical this crossbow arrow was, but began to discuss how to cooperate with each other to avoid wasting crossbow arrows with this kind of crossbow arrows.
Under the leadership of Renault these days, the consciousness of these miners has gradually begun to move closer to the professional army.
"Lord Renault, there are more and more flying species in the sky, and I think they are coming. Grizzly Lauren said with some excitement that he couldn't wait to see the spectacular spectacle of rockets in the sky.
"Let them come, preferably all at once, let's do it once and for all!"
Looking at the three-bow bed crossbow that had long been transformed into an "anti-aircraft gun", Renault also had some expectations in his heart. The king of the flying species, if he is also as stupid as the Demon Rat King, Renault doesn't mind capturing it alive this time.
For this purpose, Renault has prepared a large iron cage with steel bars thicker than his arm, and he has decided to capture the big one.
It's exciting to think about being able to raise a flying king - how much nitroglycerin does it produce every day!
In the evening, it was dark again, as if night had come early.
The goose-feathered snow kept falling, and it was like the sky had sunk all day. The number of flying species hovering in the sky began to increase dramatically, and it seemed that they had completed their sweep of the ground demon rats.
Fighting at night, especially when the opponent is a flying type, will add a lot of difficulty. If you can't see clearly, it is difficult to aim, and the crossbow arrow loses the advantage of long-range weapons.
Renault had a flagpole nearly 10 meters high erected and a pulley on top of it, so that an iron cage filled with oil and wood could be raised to serve as a makeshift "searchlight".
Renault's biggest defense was his modified shield, and he asked the blacksmith Ferrier to create some foot-long steel nails for Vivi to fuse on the outside of the shield. He also left a fist-sized hole in the shield for shooting.
Time is limited, no matter how hard the blacksmith works, the number of pieces he can make is only that, if only the entire iron barrel could be equipped with this kind of shield, leaving only the mouth for shooting.
A special shape was also brought to the wall, shaped like a simple water gun, which was actually a water gun, but it was larger and filled with spirits instead of water. This is Renault's secret weapon, which will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary, in addition to being more wasteful, it is also easy to cause accidental injury to our personnel.
In this way, the curtain will begin on the most prepared battle in more than ten days.
Standing on the fence, Reynolds gave everyone a little bit of spirits, which would not only ward off the biting cold, but also increase their euphoria. After all, in the face of the flying species that covered the sky and the sun, even he felt a little numb in his scalp.
"****, let's come down together, grandpa is going to kill tonight!" Grizzly Lauren is an out-and-out militant, and with the catalytic effect of alcohol, he is already as excited as a bull in heat at the moment.
"Lord Renault, aren't you going down?" Anna asked strangely, standing beside Renault.
"Where?" Renault was stunned, he was used to standing on the wall with the miners, and this time even Vivi came, stamping her feet in a thick padded jacket.
"But it's too dangerous here, there are so many ...... in the sky Flying species. ”
Renault understood what she meant, perhaps in most people's impressions, lords and nobles like Renault were pampered. Renault didn't want to do this, hiding in a warm room, watching the surveillance while drinking a little wine, and from time to time using the radio intercom to give some advice to the commander in front, and then waiting for the good news to come.
But not yet! In tonight's battle that is destined to be extremely dangerous, he is also an important fighting force.
"Miss Anna," Renault said with a smile on her, "don't forget, I'm also an Awakened One. The demon gods have given me divine power to fight, not to cook. ”
After speaking, he took Weiwei to inspect, leaving Anna alone to savor this sentence, although it was superficial, but there was a profound truth.
Why do the Awakened exist in the world, and why do the demon gods give them strength, and why don't they fight?
She suddenly felt that although she had been an awakened person for five years, her understanding of the demon spirit was still ignorant, and there were countless people who had been injured by the demon beast, why would the demon god choose herself?
Was it a fluke, or did the Awakened have something in common that hadn't yet been discovered?
