Chapter 117: The Lightning of Truth
readx;? Without the brilliance of the enchantment, the tower under the clouds looks more like the territory of demons. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Although the dark forces are visible to the naked eye and converge somewhere at the top of the tower, it is still the tallest building in the entire fortress, a haven in everyone's minds,
Groups of troops gathered here from all corners of the fortress. The design of the fortress dictates that the demon army, despite the influx of passages, will still be forcibly dragged down by a small number of troops. It has to be said that this clever design bought valuable time for the assembly of the resistance regiments inside the fortress.
The closest, best road condition Lopez and his party arrived here.
Until here, the Tianjiao of the reconnaissance team unconditionally obeyed Lopez's arrangement. But as Lopez thought, this subordination in the face of adversity is coming to an end here.
The first to stand up was not the second-class leader who repeatedly made Lopez difficult, but the third-class leader who actively assisted Lopez.
Once here, he couldn't wait to seize command of the team and refused to follow Lopez's advice again.
"I think we should do something too." ”
Originally, after Lopez, the first one to jump out would be the second-class leader who had no IQ. As a result, I didn't expect that what I couldn't wait for the most was this object that I thought I could unite.
The aristocrats are really a bunch of short-sighted rubbish!
This is the inner thought of all civilian students.
Lopez didn't answer, he just stood still, looking at the gang in front of him. He didn't want to go back and there wouldn't be a single person left.
Finally, the situation has changed at this interconnected moment. First of all, the first civilian student stepped forward, and he said: "The credit of Lopez's classmates is obvious to all of us. It can be said that without the command of Lopez, we would not have been able to get here safely. So I would like to ask him to continue to command us here until this war has passed. ”
"It can't be. While we can't discredit Lopez, that's the end of it. It is impossible for a civilian to be in good spirits all the time, and sooner or later he will lead us astray!"
The words of the third class leader are full of prejudice against civilian students, in his eyes, even if civilians are wise, it can only last for a short time, and one day they will drop their IQ.
The reason for such nonsense is obviously what he uses to prevaricate the civilian students. They don't want to lose this part of the population, because they also need a group of strong meat shields.
But alas, the civilians are not as stupid as they think......
In the footsteps of the first civilian student, more and more people stepped out of the ranks of the reconnaissance team and stood behind Lopez. Eventually, not a single civilian student remained in the Recouting Mission.
"We want to follow Lopez!"
The leader of the aristocratic side, the squad leader of the third class, had a face like splashed ink, and it was terrifyingly black.
"We will respect your choice. Now, let's go. ”
Despite their reluctance, the two waves of people parted ways completely. But even so, their relationship is still so close, not a relationship between classmates, but a relationship of exploitation and being used.
The shroud of the conspiracy is attached to both sides, ready to send the losing side to a grave on the outskirts of the city.
There was one thing Lopez never said, and in his mind, the sense of urgency that his intuition had conveyed to him had grown stronger......
The crowd gathered around the conning tower. They did not rush into the area, and their first task was to collect the lost personnel in the ranks, and they needed to quickly confirm the battle damage of the troops and gather the remaining forces so that they could organize an effective defense.
It's not that I didn't want to go in. Everyone was expecting orders from the general of the fortress. Especially for the defenders of the fortress, it was a reassuring thing to follow the orders of the kingdom's ramparts. Of course, more importantly, they wanted to get an explanation for the guard's order.
It's just that the gate of the conning tower is closed, and no one can enter from here. They can only gather outside, trying to get more information in conversation.
Of course, there are also a small number of legions waiting to no avail, and those who have successfully assembled have chosen to rush to the front line to stop the demons. Their comrades-in-arms are still desperately behind, how can they have time to pause here.
Lopez, with more than forty classmates who trusted him, followed another group toward the conning tower. The squad leader of the third squad had already started talking to the brothers around him, but Lopez did nothing but follow them, like a bug.
In this way, it is inevitable that the idea that it is better to follow them than to go with you will spread among the crowd. In order to prevent such a situation, Lopez turned back to the forty or so people who followed him and said, "I did this for a reason, but I can't tell you for the time being." So, please forgive me!"
"It's fine. ”
"It's okay, we trust you!"
"Hmm!" Lopez nodded heavily, his heart was warm, he had never thought that it would feel so good to be relied on and trusted.
More and more people gathered around the control tower, and gradually, people began to strongly demand access to the control tower. They need to be able to meet General Merlin and find out what is going on.
At this moment, Merlin's voice suddenly came from the sky.
It was loud, obviously the result of a magical amplification.
Just hear him say, "Soldiers. I am glad that you have been so dedicated to defending the fortress and fighting the enemy with your strength and perseverance. And thank you very much for being able to stay in the fortress at such a time, instead of choosing to escape. So, in this last moment, I apologize to you. ”
"Sorry...... We'll see you in the next life. ”
Thousands of years ago, when demons invaded, there was a sick trend of thought. Scholars at the time believed that demons were the most normal creatures in the world, and that humans were just parasites in the world. In this case, in order not to waste the world created by the goddess, human beings should also become demons and achieve collective evolution and transformation. Those who support this idea are called demonic cultists.
At that time, this idea spread widely, but it eventually disappeared under the severe crackdown of the Inquisition.
And the current General Merlin is obviously a demonic cultist...
The dark clouds that haunted the spire finally showed its true colors. Purple-black lightning bolts formed in the clouds, slashing towards the people on the ground with endless power and a roar that tore through space.
No one could stop this terrifying and dense lightning head-on. A noble student in the reconnaissance group thought he could resist with his holy light, but he is now coke.
While Merlin spoke, Lopez still led the crowd towards the conning tower, while the scout stopped and began to speak, so the scout group was sandwiched between the crowd and did not get a place to explore.
When the lightning struck, there was no one in front of Lopez and the others, and the door of the conning tower had already opened inexplicably at this time. So Lopez and the more than forty people who followed him broke into the mysterious command tower.
And the soldiers in the back desperately fled under the threat of lightning, and they looked crowded. They are probably going to suffer, don't even survive in the end.
This includes the noble members of the reconnaissance team.
Intuition, what a scary thing sometimes.
