Chapter 7: The Long Night (Part II)
Chapter 7: The Long Night (Part II)
The next morning, although he was tired from watching the undead creatures for most of the day yesterday, Mino, who was full of worries, still got up early as usual.
Walking out of the room, looking at the dim sky and the thick black clouds in the sky that were unchanged as yesterday, Mino's heart suddenly tightened, and the uneasiness in his heart instantly expanded infinitely.
You must know that although the duration of strategic magic is very long, and the sixth-level undead strategic magic death canopy is the most of them, no matter how long it lasts, the death canopy released early yesterday morning should dissipate today, and now the death canopy that has been greatly strengthened by the undead is still shrouded in the sky over Tarsi Town like yesterday, which can only mean two things.
One is that the opponent's combat power is definitely far more than what everyone in Tarsi Town knows, regardless of anything else, judging from the weakened version of the Heavenly Death Canopy, the other party has at least twenty-four or more fourth-level undead casters or more than one fifth-level undead caster, of course, the possibility of higher-level casters cannot be ruled out, although for unknown reasons, the other party has always insisted on releasing the Death Canopy. Weakened version to strengthen the army of the undead, doing more with less than half the effort, instead of choosing to fight in person, but if these combat forces appear on the battlefield of Tarschild Town, the fall of Tarschild Town is a doomed thing.
The second is that the other party still hasn't given up the idea of capturing Tarsie Town, although I don't know why, the undead have temporarily lost interest in Tarsi Town and will no longer continue to attack, but as long as the death canopy is still shrouded in Tarsie Town for a day, the attack of the undead army may come at any time.
It's a pity that due to the huge gap in strength, the Tarsi Town side can only passively wait for the arrival of the undead, so no matter how much Mino wants to know what the unknown factor that makes the undead behave abnormally, and even the root cause of the large-scale appearance of wild undead, and how much he wants to change the current extremely passive situation, Mino can only hide all these thoughts in his heart, and practice swordsmanship and fighting qi as usual, increasing his strength as much as possible, in order to add a little more weight to the balance of life and death when the next undead creature attacks。
One move after another sword skills were unleashed in Mino's hands, drawing a smooth trajectory in the air, and the fighting energy in his body continued to flow for a moment, slowly increasing little by little, until he was exhausted from cultivation, squeezing out the last trace of strength in his body and stabbing out with a sword, Mino staggered a step, his body was crooked, and he almost hung on his sword to avoid the end of falling to the ground, looking at his skin with traces of blood from his pores, Mino knew that his body had reached the limit, and if he practiced again, he would end up as a waste。
Feeling the fighting qi that gradually calmed down in his body, at this moment, Mino hated his cultivation talent that had been praised by countless people and was proud of it far beyond ordinary people, if it weren't for the talent of the body was too good, so that the qi veins were extremely tenacious, and the qi sea was abnormally strong, with the amount of fighting qi in his body, he would have been able to swell the qi veins, break through the qi sea and condense the seeds of the fighting qi, and become a second-level warrior with endless fighting qi, instead of watching the threshold of the second level close in front of him like now, but he can only work hard in the distance.
Although this kind of accumulation is thick, after the breakthrough, the sea of qi will open up larger, the seeds of fighting qi will be more condensed, and the physical strength will be strengthened more than ordinary people, and the combat power will be stronger and a better future, but compared to these, Mino hopes to be promoted to the second level immediately, even if he sacrifices some future, he must also obtain stronger strength to give himself and his relatives more guarantee of survival in the future, but he has no choice, so he can only cultivate more hard, in order to get a breakthrough that can make people transform before the last moment comes.
Leaning on his sword and resting for a while, barely recovering some of his strength, Mino was glad that he got up half an hour earlier than before while scrubbing the sweat and blood stains on his body, so that his sister had completed her cultivation before she finished meditating, otherwise if she let her sister see what she had just done, she would not have to scold herself to death.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, it was almost time for the mayor to say that he was going to make a meritorious speech yesterday, and after having breakfast in a hurry, Mino hurried to the small square in the center of the town.
The square was unsurprisingly crowded with people, but everyone's faces did not have the smile they should have, instead of more or less worry and doubt, it was obvious that although others were not as proficient in magic knowledge as Mino, so they analyzed the unfathomable hidden strength of the undead side, but the dark death canopy in the sky could be seen by anyone, the undead army left, but the death canopy did not disappear, as long as they were not fools, they could see that there must be something wrong here.
After a while, the mayor came, standing on the stone platform that is usually used for performances, the mayor's face was as unsmiling as everyone else, looking at the solemnity on the mayor's face and the inadvertent horror in his eyes, it was obvious that the mayor also saw the amazing information revealed behind the death canopy hanging over the town of Tassi.
After looking around the audience, the mayor began to speak in a heavy tone, which unexpectedly confirmed Mino's thoughts.
"Brave and fearless warriors of Tarsi Town, just yesterday, you used your courage and strength to defeat tens of thousands of undead creatures, you defended our Tarsi Town, defended your hometown, and earned glory for yourself, you are well-deserved warriors!"
"Warriors!Warriors!Warriors!"
As soon as the mayor's words fell, nearly 300 people in the audience shouted in unison, and the sound swept like substance, and it was obvious that for yesterday's victory, everyone present felt pride and pride without exception, and everyone had a proud smile on their faces.
"As the mayor of Taxi Town, I have limited ability, so I can only distribute a gold coin to each person to show my gratitude to everyone for desperately guarding our Taxi Town, of course, everyone's merits are worth much more than this gold coin, I believe that when the envoy of the royal capital comes, everyone will definitely get the same rich reward as they pay. ”
After saying that, some people began to distribute the gold coins one by one, and after a while, everyone got a yellow-orange-orange gold coin.
"Now it is still hanging in the sky, I think everyone has seen it, and they are all worried, as everyone knows, this is the strategic magic released by the necromancer, its existence means that the attack of the undead is not over, they may come back at any time with stronger and more strength, so before the arrival of reinforcements from the Church of the High God and the Kingdom, we must not relax, because the scythe of death is still on our necks, and it may harvest our lives at any time. ”
Although they had been more or less prepared, hearing such news from the mouth of the mayor of the town caused a great uproar, and everyone was noisy for a while before they could barely calm down again.
It was only when the scene calmed down that the mayor resumed his speech.
"Therefore, the warriors of Tassi Town, in order to save our hometown, to save our own lives and the lives of our relatives, to keep the glory and rich rewards that we are about to get in our hands, we must take action, for the battle that may come at any time, the unwounded soldiers, please help as much as possible to prepare and store strategic materials and strengthen training to increase strength, the brave wounded soldiers, please recover as soon as possible with the help of our priest, two days, only two days, three days ago, we received the news that the reinforcements from Houston City will arrive in only five days, and now there are two days left, as long as we can hold on to these last two days, the town of Tarsi will not fall!"
Encouraged by the information revealed in the last sentence of the mayor, everyone confidently began to organize a collective training team, one by one the team entered the training ground of the militia regiment, and did their best to train, the mayor also led the militia regiment to gather the young men in the town who had not been able to cultivate their fighting spirit, and began to prepare strategic materials such as rolling stones and logs that played a big role in yesterday's battle, and everything was carried out tightly and orderly.
In the morning, Mino followed the mayor and the militia group to store strategic materials, and gradually recovered his overcultivated body while working, and then in the afternoon, after practicing again without telling Mina, he helped prepare strategic materials for an afternoon.
At night, despite a tiring day's work, Mino's sleep was as light as many people's, ready to respond to the undead attack, and the militia on the city walls kept an eye on the outside of the town for fear of letting the undead creatures sneak in.
A night passed, not only did the army of the undead that made everyone extremely worried not come, but even the small group of undead who happened to wander to Taxi Town a few days ago did not appear once, but it was precisely because of this that the gloom in everyone's hearts was a little worse, and they couldn't help but train harder and prepare supplies, in order to have more strength to resist when the army of the undead attacked.
In this way, another busy day was passed, against the dim and heavy death canopy, everyone worked hard to prepare for a whole day, but still did not even see the shadow of half of the undead, watching the sky under the cover of the death canopy very faint light gradually disappeared, tightly lifted heart slowly fell back to its original place, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just hold on for one more night, and after tonight, the mighty reinforcements of the city of Houston will arrive, and then everyone's lives will be assured, and glory and wealth will come in an abundance, and with good hopes, everyone will eagerly hope for the dawn.
But no one knew that this night was destined to be long.
