Chapter 367: Sacrifice
readx; However, countless people just heard the sound of Qiang, and the black shadow was only a shock in the air, although he did not continue to shoot at Zhu Kuang, but his clothes were complete, but the short sword in his hand trembled, and the hand holding the sword was red, and it could be seen that he had suffered a lot of injuries with just this move. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But the speculation that everyone had believed that he would be split in half did not come true.
When the person was blocked and fell, and then looked at the person's appearance in detail, he could still only see a black robe, but the person's face was covered with a black mask, and only one of his eyes could be seen, his body was not not strong, and his hair seemed to be a little gray, plus just now he shouted wildly, "Zhu Kuang Lao'er, today is your death." The voice of the old man seems to be an old man. This makes people feel that this person is not simple, because all powerful old ghosts are often a big beard, and those top magicians are almost all old men, which is a well-known characteristic in the entire continent. So when the sea of people saw the group of bearded old men escorting on the side of Zhu Kuang's convoy, everyone knew that this group of old men, who were different from the rest of the Praetorian Guards, were the most powerful guards here.
"Hmph! Whoever stands in my way today will definitely not see the sun of tomorrow!!"
As the masked old man said this, he saw black streamers in all directions in the crowd, rising quickly, and the targets were the king of the Northern Frontier Country, Zhu Kuang, who was already panicked and trembling.
"Whoosh~!whoosh~!whoosh~!"
With the black-shirted and masked man "up", dozens of afterimages like black shadows and lightning burst out in the sea of people in all directions, stabbing straight at Zhu Kuang.
"Bold fanatics, those who offend my king Longwei!!!" At this time, Mo Ao let out a long roar and led hundreds of Praetorian Guards to stop him.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang"
The shadow of the sword shrouded the sea of people for a while.
"Wow~!"
If there were still people who wanted to gloat at the beginning of the crowd and wanted to see what happened to the offended, then the instantaneous changes at this time made the sea like boiling water, the messy and disorderly riot, and the instantaneous killing formation, which made the crowd completely collapse and chaos.
"My lord, if you don't do it at this time, I'm afraid that the good time will be missed. Seeing that Zhu Kuang was about to approach the altar, among those who did not move before, someone reminded.
"Don't you think it's strange? Why did the king of Zhu Kuang tolerate such an offense at first? Now he only said two words? And you see, that Zhu Kuang seems to have been terrified to the extreme, but compared with the flustered and trembling demeanor, his eyes are not calm, it seems that he does not see these things in his eyes, it is said that he must finish the sacrifice as soon as possible, but at such a close distance, as long as he speeds up his pace, he can enter the range of the tightly guarded altar, why is he deliberately swallowing slowly outside? And it gives me the feeling that he's just grinding, what is this going to do? Is he waiting to be assassinated? It's weird?"
"My lord, the sacrificial procedure is complicated, and it can't be ended in a while, and if the assassin doesn't deal with it, this sacrifice can't be carried out, I think that's the reason. And the sacrifice is to wait for the hour, not too early nor too late. My lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why don't we kill it now, so that we are not alone, if we wait any longer, those black-clad assassins are cleaned up, and we are bound to be weak. And when Zhu Kuang entered the altar, it would be too late. And we've already found out that the altar has already set up a defensive magic array, and we won't have a chance at that time. ”
"I don't feel right! It seems like it's a hoax, it's so suspicious. ”
"My lord, if you don't give another order, it's almost too late. Seeing that in a short period of time, those black-clothed assassins had already killed and injured several people, and some people in the crowd who were still standing still were already starting to be anxious.
"The brothers are clear, our goal is to kill Zhu Kuang, and the rest should not be in love. Let's go up and join in the fun. Finally, the middle-aged man, who was called an adult, coldly ordered several people around.
Just as this group of merchants was about to rush forward, on the other side of the altar, those who still did not flee in civilian costumes also joined the riot to assassinate Zhu Kuang.
For a while, there were three big forces that wanted to kill Zhu Kuang under the altar, and the group of black-clothed and masked people who were originally weak were two more powerful colleagues at this time, and they were still weak for a while, but at this time, their morale soared, and they faced the strong, so they fought in groups of three or two, and the rest of the people, all of them were outlaws, desperately assassinating Zhu Kuang and leaving. In order to protect Zhu Kuang's safety, it was also defense-oriented, and could not pursue and annihilate the enemy, and there was no shortage of people to deal with in the chaos.
"What a group of bold thugs, today I say that you will wait for the blood sacrifice to the sky. Although the Praetorian Guard led by Mo Ao was strong, it never cleared the way to the altar, and it seemed to be close to the end, less than a hundred zhang away, but there were countless casualties, and at any time someone assassinated Zhu Kuang from all directions from the air, which made most of the Praetorian Guards have to give up the pursuit of the assassin and do their best to protect the safety of their king.
In this way, although the Praetorian Guard is dozens of times that of the assassins, but because of their duties, they have to be timid, the entire square has died in the first wave of battles more than a hundred, it can be said that the strength of the assassins is by no means ordinary and other idle people, but also because they are always fighting, the assassination does not become an immediate retreat, never in love with war, only to achieve the purpose of assassinating Zhu Kuang success, so often just go up to attack and slash, quickly withdraw from the battle circle, those who dare to pursue are often killed by the second wave of assassins, seemingly chaotic battles, but the cooperation is seamless, anyone who pursues out, can not escape the doom of being killed, so the number of dead and wounded on both sides is not proportional. Although the number of assassins was small, their strength was not weak, and although the Praetorian Guard was numerous, there were many dead.
The battle continued, and the Praetorian Guards always coped with it in order to protect Zhu Kuang and the royal family, and the two sides began to have casualties, but the Praetorian Guards still suffered heavy casualties.
But the strange thing is that in such a turbulent scene, there should have only been only people fighting and fighting, in fact, this was the case at first, but gradually, there were more and more people in the square.
The crowd that had already broken down the mountain because someone rioted on the altar was actually put back on the altar, and everyone was flustered like ants on a hot pot, these people were not the assassins who assassinated Zhu Kuang, but they didn't take advantage of the chaos to flee for their lives. Among them were those who had fled down the mountain in fear and returned, much to the confusion of those who had some strength to stay on the edge of the altar square to watch the excitement.
I could only hear the man on a tree beside the altar shouting: "Look, everyone, there are people going down the mountain, and they can't get out." ”
At this time, all the attention shifted from the scene of killing in the square to the foot of Jiulong Mountain, it turned out that Jiulong Mountain had already ambushed heavy soldiers around it, and now the entire Jiulong Mountain has been besieged by tens of thousands of heavy soldiers like an iron bucket, and the entire Jiulong Mountain can't even climb out of an ant, those who fled down the mountain in panic were killed by the heavy soldiers under the mountain, everyone saw that it was impossible to go down the mountain, and countless people shouted and scolded together, but the black-armored soldiers under the mountain did not say a word, surrounded neatly and consistently, and contracted the encirclement step by step, in the face of the helpless civilians who wanted to rush down the mountain, they had slaughtered thousands of civilians who dared to break through and go down the mountain, no one was missed, this scene made everyone present, so that all the people of the northern Xinjiang who came to participate in the ceremony and sacrifice panicked, and now everyone understands that this is a long-planned massacre, and it is not those brave assassins who want to be killed, but all the people of the northern Xinjiang who come to the altar to watch the ceremony. Those who had not taken a stand, and even complained about the unprovoked destruction of the ritual by the bold Assassins, suddenly realized that from the moment the first Assassin appeared, all the unrelated people on the altar would die. Only then did everyone suddenly understand that they were not here to watch the ceremony, but to send them to death and become sacrifices to be slaughtered.
So a more chaotic scene appeared, those who were hopeless to go down the mountain, began to rush to the top of the mountain frantically, some people called Zhu Kuang's name, and cursed wildly with all kinds of dirty words, which is a serious crime of killing the nine clans and killing without forgiveness in Pingyue, and at this time, the people whose lives are not guaranteed, and who have no power to restrain the chicken, only have such a substanceless attack surname with words and tongues.
But then it turned out that this arrow of the tongue was of great use at some point.
There are thousands of ways to kill people, using knives, stratagems, knives, magic, etc., but at this time, it is deeply understood that killing people with their mouths can also work. In their opinion, if there is a strong and courageous knife and spear, this is done by the big man, and there is no ability, and the lowly civilians dare to insult the king, which they cannot tolerate, if they have no absolute victory against the assassins, many Janissaries began to frantically kill those who dare to insult them, if they are a danger to the assassins, killing these civilians is a one-sided massacre, in fact, the assassins are extremely strong, and these civilians are easy to kill。 But the fact is that it is difficult to catch several mice at the same time, so some people see those cowardly Praetorian Guard soldiers who can only bully the common people, which is a kind of fuel to the fire, originally only rare and bold people dare to insult, at this time the insulting people are also equivalent to the assassin was slaughtered, the team on the assassin's side instantly became stronger, countless people are opening their throats to curse, those atmosphere but quite a headache The Praetorian Guards were flustered, just before this, in the Dadu Royal City, these Praetorian Guards were the masters that no one dared to provoke, at this time, there were a few assassins, but they made their past scenery in the royal city worthless, and they were reduced to being insulted by the Diao peopleThere were many impetuous and impetuous soldiers, and they were easily killed on the spot by the assassins who attacked for this reason. The power of the tongue and arrow is no longer weaker than the real knife and real gun at this time.
"Yikun, don't you wait enough to see the excitement?"
During the fight, Mo Ao shouted angrily at Yikun and the others who were still guarding at the carriage.
At this time, some people found out that although the battlefield was chaotic, the old man who was strictly guarding the circle of the golden carriage did not move at all, but only single-mindedly protected the carriage, which made many people puzzled, only some mediocre people secretly thought that it was also very important to protect a priceless golden carriage in this crisis.
"Hmph, do you still have the heart to worry about me at this time?" Different from Mo Ao's sad expression, Yikun seemed to be blind to the killing present, with a disdainful expression, as if no matter how many Praetorian Guards died, they were all Mo Ao's people, and they had nothing to do with him, as long as no one slashed to his side, he seemed to have a lively appearance of holding his hands.
"Hmph! Everyone listened to the order and opened fire on those Diao people. Anyone who harms the prestige of our king will be killed. After Yikun was said by Mo Ao, he also felt that he was too indifferent, so he snorted coldly and ordered his own people.
"Obey!!"
With the sound of uniform compliance, several thunderbolts of lightning first fell in the sky, "Boom~! click~!" I saw those people in the distance who were fleeing like many rats in the pursuit of the Praetorian Guards, and they were instantly struck by lightning and turned into a pile of charred corpses.
Then, as long as the insulting person within the attack range of that Yikun's subordinates only opened his mouth to insult, he was instantly killed on the spot.
But such a cruel scene of bombardment did not stop everyone, these people who had no hope of survival began to change from the initial fear to fearless, some people are not not afraid of death, but because they are both horizontal and vertical, so they have become fearless. Those who hide in the jungle at the edge of the altar, those who hide above the trees to watch the excitement, originally just wanted to see the excitement, after all, the bigger and more chaotic the matter today, the more lively it is, if you can use it in the restaurant teahouse to chat with people in the future, it is a particularly heroic and face-to-face thing, but now it has been made clear that you can't go out, let alone go to the tavern teahouse to blow water for recreation, just wait until the army shrinks to the altar, then you are a dead end.
So some people no longer have the mood to hide in the trees and watch, Zhu Kuang's trick is extremely ruthless, and there is no one who wants to let go of the altar in the first place, which makes some idle people in the mountains and wilderness sad and indignant, and they are also forced to join the array of assassinating Zhu Kuang.
