Chapter 499: On the Eve of the Storm
The fire at the foot of the mountain flickered and went out, Roger stretched out his hand to stir the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously, put down the burning stick in his hand and placed the wooden shelf above the fire, and then inserted the wooden stick into the mouth of the fish and roasted it on the fire.
The firelight reflected the shadows of the three men on the ground.
Erin and Safio leaned against the trunk of a tree with their hands folded, one looking absentmindedly at the town not far away, the other at times at the ground and sometimes at Roger.
None of the three of them spoke, and they didn't seem to be able to speak.
They are all students of crape myrtle, and they were all proud of crape myrtle, but now none of them want to wear the badge of crape myrtle.
Guilty, every time they see that school badge, they feel guilty.
Roger handed the grilled half-cooked fish to Erin, who shook her head, and he handed it to Safio.
Safio couldn't help but take the grilled fish, and said, "Don't you want to say anything?"
Roger said, "What should I say?",
There was another brief silence, and Erin turned her head and said, "You should apologize",
Roger smiled.
"To whom do I apologize to the Knights Templar? I don't think there's any need",
Erin clenched her fists and looked at Roger's eyes with extremely cold.
Safio tugged at her hand.
Erin snorted and shook off his hand and said coldly: "Roger, so many lives of the Knights Templar were buried in your hands, but you don't even want to apologize, do you still have the heart?
"If you want to apologize, should you apologize to me first? These should have been glorious strokes in the history of crape myrtle schools. Who overshadowed them? Whose head is to blame for the principal's death?",
"It's Augustine, and you," Roger said word for word.
Erin gritted her teeth and said, "We're just being used",
"Isn't it a mistake to be taken advantage of?" Roger snapped.
The extremely stern tone made Erin's hands clench tighter, and her whole heart became cold.
Roger laughed self-deprecatingly and flicked the fire again. Then leaning against the trunk of the tree behind him, he said, "It was Augustine who attacked me first, he killed my fiancée with his own hands, if it was me who died, would you make him apologize to me?",
"Of course not, exactly like now, who would apologize to a puppeteer who deserved to die?",
"It was the Knights Templar who attacked the Valley of the Guillotine first, and it was the Knights Templar who pursued me all the way to the Dark Abyss. At that time, you should still claim righteousness, for the sake of the great Pope. Great Prophet, would it be wrong to kill a puppeteer?If it was me and Luo Jue who died in the dark abyss, would you apologize?",
"Still not, now you know that your loyal Pope is one of the unknown Nine Brains, a conspirator in collusion with the Blood Ancestors, and even so, you still want me to apologize to the Knights?
"Hmph, dreaming",
This was probably the most heartless word Erin had ever heard, but she couldn't refute even a word.
The reason why she wanted Roger to apologize was only because of her own selfishness towards the Knights and her respect for the baby-faced leader.
Tears fell one by one, and she realized that she had become so vulnerable.
"Maybe I should say sorry to the emir, he should have died a more dignified battle",
Roger finally spoke, put the clothes on his side, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and closed his eyes.
In the light of the fire, Safio and Erin saw that the man, who was not yet twenty years old, had half of his hair white
The next day Roger got up early, and for some reason, his face was very ugly, and he glanced at Safio and Erin, who were still asleep, and walked into the town.
At the gate of the town, Igniz and Liana had their armies ready to wait for him, and their hearts sank when they saw him come with a calm face.
The rhetoric that was ready to bargain was half forgotten at once.
Igniz waved his hand and said: "I was reorganizing the army last night, and I forgot to tell you that the heroic soldiers are willing to fight for justice and drive away the disgusting zombies for the innocent people of the mainland."
This is clearly prepared rhetoric.
Liana didn't say anything, but the man in white behind her in full gear said it all.
Roger's face softened a little, he waited all night last night and didn't wait for them, and thought that Igniz and Liana were going to fight to the death, so he calmly prepared to accept the crusaders and killing machines by force.
Their decision to lead the troops themselves saved a lot of trouble.
Roger said: "Liana, take your men to St. Panin, Igniz, your cavalry is faster, don't look back when you reach St. Panin, continue to move in the direction of the Norman line until you see zombies",
"Don't do it directly, turn around when you see the infected village, I will join you later",
It's been a while since he left the valley, and I'm afraid the infection of the zombie god has expanded a lot.
As it turned out, his worries were not unfounded, and not long ago, Roger's massacre had killed the first reincarnated Protoss, killed all the demons, and killed many civilians who stood in his way.
Immediately after that, the three-eyed fierce god, the blood god, and the space god died one after another, and three of the six evil gods died at once, and the territory of the evil gods that were originally criss-crossed and restrained each other was suddenly half vacant, and the zombies that were originally only active in the remote mountain villages in the east suddenly spread westward at an unimaginable speed.
The villagers, who had little resistance, fell one after another under the attack of the zombies.
This direct attack was undoubtedly devastating for the civilians, but it was a rare opportunity for Roger, who was at the center of the storm, and the fear of zombies soon replaced the verbal criticism of Roger.
Under Roger's orders, Igniz led the cavalry on a trek from the town of Badge Cross, near the Dolan border, to St. Panin, and then to the village of Laogang, two thousand miles away, and he never stopped all the way, except at the entrance of Laogang Village.
The smell of corpses and blood mixed together to form a disgusting smell that reached his nose, and Igniz couldn't help but cover his nose, and through the half-hidden wood door, he saw several zombies lying on the corpses and gnawing on them.
The gnawed people are not dead yet, and every time the zombie bites his body, he convulses, and the bloody scene makes Igniz frown.
Glancing at it, he saw that there were less than twenty zombies inside, and he scolded: "Brothers, slaughtered",
"Roar-",
Before he finished speaking, a roar came from the old well in the center of Laogang Village, and the whole ground trembled, and the zombies who were gnawing at the corpses raised their heads one after another.
"Damn, let's go",
Igniz turned his horse and left. (To be continued......)
