Chapter 21: The flames of war are fearless, and the body is not dead (1)
As the night passed, the sky shone brightly, and the black rolling demon army in the demon city roared and rushed towards Duves again.
This time they were well prepared. The demons in front of them held wisteria whips to drive the chain-covered demon mammoths and pulled the heavy iron cart nearly five meters high to slowly move forward, and the car was full of mud and gravel. Behind them, a row of powerful Archgols used rolling logs and iron ropes to pull a hill of black stones towards Duves, which they had brought with them in the Great Heath of Enston to fill Duves.
The Demon Rakshasa walked in front of the 20,000 demons, he roared several times in the demon language, and when he saw that there was no response from the other side, he shouted loudly to the high city on the other side of the river through a row of Rosie trees and forests in the unified language of mankind: "Humans, the god of the Great Demon Race has given you a chance to live in the world, if you can hand over the slave emperor who fled into your kingdom, we will withdraw all our troops and let you live." If you don't, we'll bury Duves and tear you all to shreds!"
A dozen warriors who were watching out of the Rosie Tree forest heard the words of the Demon Rakshasa as they watched out on the other side.
"Did you hear that? what did the stupid donkey say?" asked a bald warrior named Trophon with a great axe.
"He said that as long as we hand over the slave emperor, they will let us live, which is simply ridiculous, it is really incredible, and those stupid donkeys will learn to deceive people. Said an extremely strong warrior beside him.
"Inform Lord Cerompass of this. "Of course, the stupid words of the big man, which were unbelievable to their orcs who only know how to kill. ”
At this moment, Gallom Pass and the Gnutinites were resting in the main hall, and in a few moments, they were going to the cemetery of Prossilon with the tombstones they had just prepared to erect a monument to the warriors who had died in battle yesterday.
In the city of Gnuting, even if people knew that their family members had died in battle, no one cried, and the streets at this time were a hundred times quieter than before. Gallompass knows the determination of the people, and he knows the pain they are now suffering from that is difficult to heal. He stood on the main hall and shouted with his back to the crowd: "Let us go to the cemetery to erect a monument to the warriors, so that their spirits can rest in peace, and after the last feast of the night, our bodies and souls will belong to this land." ”
"We've never left here, we'll always belong here!" the crowd shouted.
At that moment, a black eagle rushed from outside the temple to the shoulder of Cerompass, the messenger of Cleampas. It had a paper tube wrapped around its feet, and Celem Pass, knowing that it was the warriors of Nurax, sent the information, so he immediately took it down to check it.
Never to be uninhibited and uninhibited, he opened the paper and read it aloud to the crowd: "The demons marched again into Duves, and they brought enough sand and gravel to bury Duves, before their leaders told us this joke: 'If we hand over the slave emperor, they will give up attacking us.'" ’”
"Hand me over?" Orvilles was standing aside, and he couldn't help but laugh, "What's the use of the demons asking me?"
"It seems that the demons have just learned to lie, and they actually made up this kind of unseemly lie," Canglun Pass immediately laughed and tore the paper tube apart, and patted Orvilles on the shoulder, "However, their lies also show that you have accumulated a great reputation in the Demon Realm these days in the Ten Thousand Demon Arena. ”
"Orvilles. Thinking of what the elder said before leaving, Yasuz couldn't help but ask curiously, "I believe that you are our junior disciple, with your courage and ability, there is no doubt about it, but you have never said anything about your background, at least you have to introduce us a little, which will make us doubly cordial to you." ”
"What do you mean, you are suspicious of the Slave Emperor!" said the little man Yeliang angrily, and all the human competitors were also angry because of this.
"No," Orvilles explained, waving to the crowd, "I didn't make it clear, but I have no reason to tell you about my past, and such an account would be boring, and if you had to find a reason to sustain the trust that has been built, it would only lead to doubt, estrangement, and misunderstanding." ”
"It's really stupid, because you say such things because the demons are not in the middle of a lie. "Cerompass blames Azez.
"I'm just talking about it, why do you care so much. Yazez explained.
Towards noon, the warriors of Gnutting, led by Gallompass, walked out of the city with the tombstones.
At this point, Azez pulled Orvilles to the back of the line, and the Elder's words before leaving echoed back and forth in Azez's mind, and even though he thought it was boring, his inquisitive nature defeated him.
The team drifted away, and only Orvers and Yasuz were left in the vast clearing in front of the city.
"What's the matter?" asked Orvilles.
"Yes, I'm bored with what I'm doing in this matter, but there are things I have to know that my curiosity controls me, and that's a plus, but it's also a disadvantage. ”
"I, Orvilles, was born frankly, there's nothing to say, you don't think the words of the demons are true, right?" Orvilles guessed what Azoz thought, "Yes, maybe it's true, but I think it's funny myself, will you believe the words of the demons?"
"Orwells, I know you somewhat. "That damn elder said something offensive as he was leaving, and I was curious about you. ”
"Esbinafar?" asked Orvilles, "what did he tell you? Maybe you're right, for to tell you the truth, I don't know where I came from, and my father was gone from me all my life, and my mother was with me. ”
"Don't get me wrong, actually, I don't want to know about your background. "The elder said when he left, 'As long as you are in Gnuting, Gnuting may not be destroyed by the demons.'" I don't believe it, but today it seems to be the fulfillment of his nonsense. I remember very well, he said it was because of your father, didn't you say that your father left you when he was a child?"
"Did he really say that?" Orvilles was astonished, for he had seen his father twice on that occasion in Nan'an, and he still had no idea what kind of person he was.
Orvilles thought to himself, and after a moment, he felt that there was some truth in what the elder had said. At this moment, he was more curious about his father's identity than ever, and he wanted to go to Daria after the Gnutin's affair was over, but at this moment, he suddenly changed his mind, and he wanted to find out where his father came from.
"Hey, hey!" he was thinking, and Azaz woke him up, "what do you think of?"
Orvilles shook his head in silence.
"Don't say it to me even if you think about it," Aziz laughed, "I realize that we are doing something very boring and disgusting, this is not the work of a warrior, we need to keep up with the team, now is the most important thing for us to do." ”
Orvilles nodded, and walked briskly forward with Aziz.
In the cemetery of Proxilon, Gallopas and the warriors buried the tombstones one by one, prayed in front of the mausoleum, and then addressed the dead warriors.
The ceremony was solemn and in line with the norms, but Orvilles didn't pay attention to it at all, at this time, his mind was full of some things about his father and the demon people's retreat. In his confused thoughts, he actually took the words that everyone thought were the low-level lies of the demon people as facts.
"I'm not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I can't be in Gnuting, this will affect everyone in Gnuting, if sacrificing me alone can be exchanged for the lives of everyone in Gnuting, I am willing to do so. I go outside, maybe my father will show up.
After a period of hard thinking, Orvilles finally made this fateful decision, that is, to go alone to the opposite bank of Duves, where the demon army was raging.
But he couldn't let anyone know about this action. After a psychological struggle, he took two daggers with him and galloped out of the cemetery under the pretext of going out to urinate.
It wasn't until after the two-hour burial ceremony that Celem Pass, who had been preoccupied with the funeral rites, realized that Orvilles had not returned.
"Hey, why hasn't Orvilles come back yet?" Celem Pass, not knowing where Orvilles had gone, asked Athanz beside him, "Has he been urinating for so long?"
The warriors laughed, and the originally sad atmosphere was lightened and pleasant by the words of Celem Pass. Those human competitors laughed and said, "How can the Slave Emperor be comparable to ordinary people. ”
Azuz looked around at Orvilles, and thinking of Orwells' speech and demeanor on the way, Aziz concluded that he must be doing something stupid, so he exclaimed, "Hurry up and find Orvilles! )
