Chapter 30 Value José
As incendiary bombs fell in the snow one after another, and the sand and gravel sloping down from the roofs of the buildings divided the streets, José quickly decided that he could not fight hard with the enemy, and it was impossible to regroup his troops, and that he was closer to the end of the street, and the most reasonable way was to break through from the front.
"Senior brother, I'm fine, put me down. Rong Ruo had recovered from the fact that she was almost buried underneath the sandstone, and struggled to break free of his arm. José let go of his arms, and just by looking at the position she landed, he determined that she wasn't in enough shape to keep up with her speed.
Without any hesitation, José lifted her and placed her on his back, "Hold me tight." ”
Rong Ruo subconsciously hugged his neck, José didn't pause, bit the dagger in his mouth, and ran straight ahead with her on his back, he keenly shuttled back and forth between the flames that had already ignited in the streets, dodging the Molotov cocktails and stones that were coming at them.
"Senior brother, what should they do?" Rong Ruo asked on her back when she saw Jose moving forward.
"The status quo. With Rong Ruo on his back, José no longer has the ability to pay attention to Dan Huangsheng's situation, and with a dagger in his mouth, it is not convenient to speak.
After all, Rong Ruo has been his assistant for two years, and quickly understood what he meant, "Well, Daddy, Kochi-senpai and Cherry-senpai hid in the building. She paused, "Xinghe, they and the female doctor ran back. ”
"Snef?" asked José, who was the key target of the operation, and that the safety of others could be put on the back burner for the time being.
The female doctor carried him on his shoulders and took him away. Rong Ruo just let out an exclamation as soon as she finished speaking, "Senior brother, there are guns upstairs!"
José glanced diagonally upwards, there were several people standing on the roof of the building, with shotguns in their hands and aiming at them, these equipment should belong to the five hundred Norwich Provincial Guards who were missing in Jiangcheng, they had not been systematically trained, and the accuracy of those gun-wielding mobs should not be too high.
He let go of one of the hands that held Rong Ruo, untied his coat, and took a potion from the strap, his magic power was firmly limited, and the black book was destroyed, but fortunately, he had the habit of keeping some commonly used items at hand, and he was not too passive at the moment.
He uncorked the bottle of potion and spilled the light blue potion inside, the potion reacted violently with the moisture in the air, turning into a light blue mist, when Jose was studying at the academy, the highest scoring course was Potions, compared to all kinds of magic, Potions requires rigor far more than talent, and rigor is precisely Jose's greatest strength, and the potions he dispenses are often textbook-level.
The pale blue mist soon obscured the sky, and the gunmen on the roof lost their targets, and the untrained ones missed their expected shots, and the bullets landed far away from Jose.
Before the fog spread, Jose had already memorized the terrain around him, and he carried Rong Ruo on his back and ran wildly all the way, avoiding the fires along the way, because he couldn't use magic to help, the fog that was originally expected to spread tens of meters ended up covering less than half of the range.
It's just that in the blink of an eye, he has rushed out of the range of the blue mist with Rong Ruo on his back, but this is enough, after the first wave of bullets missed, the time for those amateur gunmen to change bullets was enough for him to run out of range.
Jose didn't look back, kept moving forward, and didn't stop until he ran a block, put down Rong Ruo on his back, and stood in place to adjust his breathing, there were no pursuers behind them, this was something he had determined, but Rong Ruo kept standing at the crossing and looking at the way they came.
José didn't pay too much attention to her, but took out the map of Jiangcheng and compared their current location, from the map, they were not far from Plaza Street, Dan Huisheng and Kochi and Cherie were trapped in the building just now, García Emilio ran back with Xinghe and Sneve Towards it, judging from the map, there is a high probability that they will enter the East City.
It would be unwise to go around the front into the East City to aimlessly search for the team with Sniff, especially since it confirmed the attitude of the mob in the city towards them, in this case, the best course of action is to wait for them on the way of the galaxy, "Let's go to the Colosseum and wait for Sneve to come." ”
"Daddy, what should they do?" Rong Ruo looked behind her, her worries between her eyebrows were obvious.
"Sneef is the first target, and compared to him, the safety of the gentleman can be put second. Jose replied, noticing that Rong Ruo's face was gradually becoming gloomy, he pondered for a while and continued: "Cherie and Kochi have relatively high hand-to-hand combat skills, and their chances of getting out of trouble are relatively high. ”
Rong Ruo's face looked a little better at this time, "Well, but senior brother, how can we be sure that Xinghe and they will definitely take Sneef to the Colosseum?"
"Not sure, but most likely. "José is telling the truth, they are now in a passive position, Sneve has already followed the galaxy into the East City, if they follow the route that Sneve marked on the map, they will pass through the Colosseum, in terms of probability, they may not take this road, but it is very low, and it is possible that they will not succeed in taking Sneve here, but that is another matter.
"What if we hadn't waited for them?" Rong Ruo asked.
José looked up at the sky, judging by the brightness of the sun, it was about three or four hours before it got dark, "Wait until tomorrow morning, if they don't come, we'll go back to camp." ”
"And then?"
"Give this to the army. Jose's answer did not hesitate, their mission had failed in a practical sense, the White Emperor Sword had been destroyed, Valhalla's most powerful weapon against Sneve was gone, and the first attacking team was also put on a collar that limited magic power on the gloves, from the worst projection, they were no longer considered combat effectiveness until they were mobilized to the Master of Engineers or returned to the Elven River, and the remaining special agents might be able to continue to pose a threat to Snef, but combined with the previous situation, once Sneve was determined to hide, then it would probably not be easy for the agents to find him。
The infected people who appeared in the capital before made the empire unable to determine whether Sneve was really in Jiangcheng, so he had to stop the movement of the army, but now that Snake was sure that he was in Jiangcheng, calling the army to wipe out Jiangcheng with the power of thunder is the most ideal way to deal with it at present.
Rong Ruo was anxious and blushed, "But there are still many people in this city, and Daddy is still trapped in the city!"
These are acceptable losses compared to the spread of original sin. José's answer was calm, it was true, the Council of the Three Kings and the House of Commons were still in dispute over whether to send troops, and if José didn't wait for the stars to show up with Sneve or make peace with Dan and return to camp with the news, it would be the last straw that tilted the scales. The number of infected people with original sin in a short period of time is an acceptable loss, while Snef, who can spread original sin wantonly and is good at evading, is intolerable.
"But!" Rong Ruo stood and stamped her feet, José staring at her, waiting for her opinion, maybe something she noticed that she didn't. But in the end, Rong Ruo lowered her head, "I know, senior brother, let's go to the gladiatorial arena." ”
Jose nodded, and led Rong Ruo towards the gladiatorial arena, and soon, they discovered a reason that could tip the scales in the hearts of the House and the Council of the Three Kings.
Beneath the remaining walls of the Colosseum was a very tall snowdrift that José had glimpsed when he had driven by on the other side of the Gong River, and he had not known what was beneath the snowdrift at that time, but now he knew.
It was heads, stacked in the shape of a triangular pyramid, and at a cursory glance, there were hundreds of them, all of them were demon spirits, the guards who had disappeared in the city. When he saw the mob pull out their muskets, José thought that something had happened to the guards, but he didn't expect to meet them so soon.
Unwillingness, fear, fear, wailing, these are the expressions that José saw from those already frozen heads, their last expressions, José remembered that Mao Wen had a habit of using the heads of their prey as trophies, and they would stack their severed heads in a similar way in the place where they lived to show their strength.
However, this triangular pyramid is obviously not made by Mao Wen, and the most likely possibility can only be Snef. The Empire's wars over the years have all been on the front lines of the Black Fort and the Iron Fort, and the dragons never leave corpses, their dangerous dragon breath destroys everything, and the Kraken has never had such an insult to corpses when he occasionally has a sneak attack.
Demon spirits do not believe in gods, but they value life and death, which is an important part of life. Although the demon spirits do not think that their souls will float to which god after death, they value the integrity of the corpse, what they think they will be like when they come to this world, so what should be it when they return to nature, legend has it that some ancient demon spirits will not even leave corpses, when they come to the end of their lives, their bodies will dissipate into various elements and become part of nature again, in this process, the integrity of the body is very important.
Even Jose can see that deliberately piling up human heads like this is a provocation to the empire, as long as this scene is transmitted, then the top of the empire will not have any more hesitation, and the army will directly set foot on Jiangcheng, how many years has the demon spirit not been subjected to this kind of provocation.
Rong Ruo was already stunned when she saw what was under the snowdrift, her face was pale, and her lips trembled, she had been an assistant with Jose for two years, but she had never experienced such a thing, but she was not to blame, probably only Jose could sit without changing his face when facing this mountain of heads.
"Senior brother, let's bury them. Rong Ruo looked up at him.
The demon spirit also pays attention to the earth, but it is not that they hope that the soul of the deceased will be rested, but they think that burying the body in the soil is the fastest way to return it to nature, even the legendary ancient demon spirits are not all able to turn their bodies into various elements after death, and burying the corpse in the soil is a way to retreat, at that time the demon spirits did not have the concept of the so-called independent cemetery, at that time they mostly buried the dead in a unified pit, and then planted flowers and trees on it, fruit crops. After crossing the ocean to the New World, the cultural habits of the demons have changed a lot, but burial is still very important to the demons.
If he could still cast spells, Jose would agree to Rong Ruo's request, but now he was limited by the collar around his neck and he was just an ordinary person, and Rong Ruo couldn't release any magic because of the magic contract, if they wanted to bury these heads, they had to dig a pit of enough size for them in the ground under the snow with their hands, and they didn't have that much time and energy to do this now, so Rong Ruo's request couldn't be fulfilled.
Without waiting for him to answer, Rong Ruo gave up first, she lowered her head and looked lonely, "Let's wait until Sneef is sent away, let's come again." ”
José nodded, and led her towards a relatively lightly damaged building on the side of the street, Square Street was the busiest street in Jiangcheng, but in just a few days, most of the splendid bank stores that were renovated when Jose came last time had been smashed at this moment, but the remaining ruins were enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
As far as José himself is concerned, he doesn't mind standing under the Colosseum until tomorrow morning, but Rong Ruo's health is worrying, and it is best for her to have a place to rest well at this moment to ensure that she can recover, at least to ensure that she will not be held back due to the aggravation of her condition during the next period of time.
They had barely taken two steps when José suddenly heard a strange noise, and he turned around and saw that the triangular cone made of the man's head began to tremble, and something wafted out of the frozen heads, wisps of black gas as thin as hair, and they slowly gathered together and condensed into a black mist.
José pulled Rong Ruo behind his back, clenched the dagger in his hand, and looked vigilantly at the increasingly dense black mist, a certain familiar power gradually became stronger, he had felt this kind of power in the body of Fear of Vicky two years ago, although there was a small perception, but there was no doubt that this was the power of the King of Crime and Punishment.
Without the White Emperor Sword and the inability to use magic, Jose could be sure that he did not have the ability to deal with this sudden situation now, so he picked up Rong Ruo beside him with one hand, carried her on his shoulder, turned around and ran in the direction of leaving the city.
"Senior brother, those things are catching up!" Rong Ruo on his shoulder suddenly exclaimed.
José didn't look back, because he saw the black gas shoot past him like sharp arrows, reconverging directly in front of him, José stopped, looked at the black gas intercepted in front of him, and his other hand had reached into the inside of his coat and touched a test tube.
The re-condensed black qi gradually became condensed, and finally turned into Snef's appearance, exactly the same as the Sneve they met before, the only difference was that this Sneve was not wearing an eye patch, and there was a pitch-black eyeball floating in his left eye, which gave Jose a great sense of oppression, "The game is not over yet, where do you want to go?"
