Chapter 118: The Dead Are More Useful Than the Living
There are not many mountains near Shenbang.
The mountain that Al had climbed, known as Kolu Mountain, was not too high, and was carried by two skilled palanquin bearers, who climbed to the top of the mountain in less than a cloud.
It stands to reason that such a mountain peak should not be struck by lightning.
At the top of Kelu Mountain, I don't know which guy who killed a thousand knives, buried a huge iron pillar.
It is precisely because of this iron pillar that every night of thunder and lightning, Kelu Mountain will become the focus of the vicinity of the Divine State, and the lightning strikes are continuous, so it is naturally designated as the location of the Holy Descendant's trial.
Sitting on the bamboo sedan chair, Al looked a little lazy and yawned.
By the time I went up the mountain, the rainstorm had already subsided a lot.
This kind of thunderstorm weather comes and goes quickly.
By the time Al reaches the top of the mountain, the rainstorm is over!
She only needs to stay in the cage for one night before she can easily complete the first trial.
Of course, Al was just thinking about it, and he knew very well that this was not realistic.
Although she is beautiful, she is not as beautiful as she thought.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the bamboo sedan chair was placed firmly on the ground, and the man in the strange bird mask held a torch and motioned for Al to step forward.
An iron cage has long been placed here, which was placed by Lu Deng in advance, and special people have been sent to guard it to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
When it comes to the trial of the Holy Descendants, few people dare to do it in broad daylight.
No one can afford to destroy the reputation of the Holy Seed Trial!
But... It's dark, and it's a different story.
The iron cage clings to the huge iron pillar.
Al walked into the cage, and someone did as Mr. Ludon had instructed him to close the cage.
At the same time, someone stepped forward to seal the Inquisition to ensure that Al Yinsha would not leave the cage.
Standing outside the iron cage, the man with the mask of a strange bird held an umbrella and said seriously,
"Please survive tonight, Miss Al, it's really important to the Inquisition."
If El can prove that there really are saints in the world...
It means a lot to the Inquisition!
This group of madmen really has the determination and madness of martyrs.
As Father Phuket and Ludon said, they were willing to die for their ideals.
The premise is that the last Demon Descendant must be hanged before they will give up!
In Luden's opinion, this group of madmen is more like hanging everyone...
"We're leaving, Miss Al."
The people of the Inquisition began to organize a descent from the mountain, and they could not stay at the top of the mountain.
The brilliance of the saint will not sweep away this group of worldly lunatics hiding in the dirt.
The Inquisition has never been so gentle,
He said sincerely,
"Good luck!"
When descending the mountain, more than a dozen people wearing strange bird masks met the mighty army that was marching up the mountain.
The movement of one or two thousand people going up the mountain was so great that even if there was darkness in the night, it would not be
Both sides have a tacit understanding, and they both ignore each other as if they were air.
The Inquisition will not hold the Ponger's Legion accountable for crossing the Sacred River.
Most of them knew about it, and even acquiesced.
And this legion will be in charge of guarding El Yinsha tonight.
When Lu Deng and the others went up the mountain, they kept leaving soldiers behind and deployed defenses all over the mountain road.
Someone is responsible for guarding, someone is responsible for blocking the enemy, and everything is in order.
It can be seen that the legion under Ponge is indeed extraordinary. …
Even without Ponger's command, it is very rare that they can still maintain such a high level of execution and morale.
In such an era, the influence of the main general on the legion is extremely crucial.
With Ponge, the combat effectiveness of the entire army can be raised to a higher level!
To put it bluntly, the group of warriors in front of him, placed in the Qiyun Kingdom, can also become the most powerful force in the kingdom.
Fortunately, Ponge is Luden's ally, and Ludon doesn't need to worry too much for the time being.
At the same time, the speed of the group going up the mountain was not slow.
After all, Ah Wu was young, and he couldn't support him halfway up the mountain, so the groom simply picked him up and held him between him with one arm.
In this way, the groom also moved faster than Luden.
Ludon wiped the rain from his forehead and looked at the top of the hill ahead, panting.
And the soldiers who accompanied him were walking on the ground and walking like flying.
"It's all because the wine is wrong and hollowed out."
Ludon made up his mind that he couldn't go on like this!
From this day on, quit drinking!
After reaching the top of the mountain, there were still five hundred people left.
At the command of the grooms, they formed a circular phalanx, armed with shields, and surrounded the iron cage.
"This..."
Al hesitated, not asking Ludon where the warriors were from.
She is indeed a little immature, but by no means stupid.
However, Al still couldn't help but ask,
"There's no need for that, is it?"
Even if there is an enemy, they must be killed from the foot of the mountain.
Brush –
As Al was talking, a sharp arrow burst through the air, avoiding all shields and piercing the ground in front of El with precision!
Al:???
Awu couldn't help but shout,
"Miss Al! Be quiet! ”
The last time he was in the Colosseum, he had seen it.
El went to the chief justice, and the other party pronounced the guilt, almost scaring Awu half to death.
This time, too, Al was slapped in the face as soon as he spoke.
Al fell silent.
Heavy rain, darkness, and I don't know how many dangers await them.
Ludon didn't even know in which direction the enemy was and where this arrow was fired.
However, after the failure of this arrow, the enemy lurking in the darkness did not choose to continue to attack, but fell silent.
The horsemen arranged more than 1,000 people on the Kolu Mountain, searching for ambushes on the mountain and organizing a defensive line.
Judging by his familiarity with the terrain, he should have done a lot of homework beforehand.
Ludon looked at it and didn't say anything.
Ponge had already guessed that this would happen.
Compared to Ludon, Ponge knows more about the Saints.
The brains of these wine bags and rice barrels are almost all at the level of the Senate.
The only specialty of the Saint Descent family is the patriarch.
Therefore, it is very easy to predict their behavior.
At this time, there was a shout of killing at the foot of the mountain.
A group of men in black wanted to rush up the mountain, but they were met with an unexpected counterattack and were caught off guard!
There were mixed dead and wounded on the spot, leaving more than a dozen corpses behind, and retreated in a hurry.
Soon, a new attack was organized, and they blocked the vital parts of their bodies with wooden shields, and they tried to rush up the hill by the darkness of night and heavy rain.
And the warriors under Ponger attacked head-on and defeated the opponent's offensive again! …
Stand on the top of the hill and look out over the battle.
Luton even noticed that among the waves of people who came to sneak attack, it seemed that they were from different Saint Descendant families.
When the two sides collided, they almost fought.
So you're so mean?
The whole battle is particularly absurd.
At the same time as the battle took place at the foot of the mountain, there was a thunderbolt crackling on the iron pillar, and the loud sound startled El!
Outcome... She's really okay?!
Love is manifested!
The joy that El had just reaped quickly dissipated.
She clearly knew that she would not die under the thunder and lightning tonight.
But in the world, there are too many murderous methods that are more sinister than thunder and lightning.
If the arrow had been a little more accurate, Al would have died!
Fortunately, the scales of victory gradually tipped in their favor.
With more than 2,000 people, they are deployed in advance in Kelu Mountain, occupying the right time and place, even if the patriarch is in command, this battle cannot be lost!
The enemy's attack did not even break through the first line of defense!
It was almost dawn, the night was fading, and the enemy below the mountain had quietly withdrawn.
Both sides died at the sight of the light, and neither dared to act under the sun.
Listening to the sound of the battle gradually subsided, Al's hanging heart finally relaxed, and Ah Wu also fell into a light sleep at this time.
Only Ludon remained gloomy and silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
What happened last night has touched Luden's bottom line.
He was never afraid of death, nor did he think that anyone's life would be more noble than the other.
Ludon knew better that it made sense to hang himself based on what he had done.
There is full self-awareness that belongs to yes.
However, Ludon could not accept it, someone flipped the table!
Playing under the rules of the game, Ludon can be willing to gamble and lose, and it doesn't matter how he dies.
If anyone dares to break the rules of the game, they must be punished as they deserve!
After tonight, those behind the scenes must face Luden's wrath!
No, it's the wrath of the whole God.
In this moment, all vested interests will unite.
To uphold the rules of the game is to safeguard the interests of all!
Seeing that the battle was coming to an end and time was running out, the groom began to direct the group down the mountain, preparing to retreat to the other side of the sacred river.
Only in this way can we spend tonight safely.
Even after a night of fighting, the fighters were still in good shape and confident that they would run back in time.
"Mr. Luden, this is not far from the Sacred River."
After bandaging the wound on his forearm briefly, the groom walked towards Ludon and said seriously,
"Some people are injured and may not be able to get back, if you don't have other instructions, I can only solve it according to our method."
The warriors of the Divine Legion, without the orders of the Senate, appeared on the other side of the sacred river... The consequences are unimaginable!
Death is perhaps the most merciful ending...
The groom's solution is simple.
He can't solve this problem, he can only solve people.
Then, these people will be listed as deserters, missing, etc...
Even if Ponger wanted to compensate the other party, he could only do so through extremely covert methods.
The groom looked for Luden, and he also made this matter clear.
He could do the dirty work, but Luton had to know what these people were giving for. …
Blood can only be repaid by blood, and Ludon must avenge them.
If Ludon had a way to save people, it would be better.
These fighters are the best of the best, and as long as they can be healed in time, they can quickly regain their combat effectiveness.
Ludon didn't hesitate and simply said,
"Leave the wounded behind, and I will make sure they survive."
As he spoke, Ludon looked at the groom, raised his right hand, made a fist with four fingers, and pressed his thumb to his mouth.
"You have my promise."
In the Kingdom of God, this action represents a very simple vow:
I'll do what I promised, and if I can't, you can tear my mouth open with a knife.
The groom bowed slightly, and did not say a word of gratitude, but immediately gave the order that the wounded should be gathered together and obey Mr. Luden's orders.
There were a lot of people injured last night, some were injured in the battle, some were injured by the lost flying stones, some were accidentally injured by teammates, and some even fell and broke their legs...
In battle, anything unexpected can happen.
In a short time, nearly 60 wounded people gathered at the top of the mountain, and a few more were halfway up the mountain, and it took a little time to come up.
The others traveled lightly, preparing to cross the sacred river before the sun appeared, pretending nothing had happened.
The groom found Ludon again and said goodbye to him,
"I'll take the corpse down the mountain and dispose of it..."
Most of those who came to sneak attack were domestic servants, guards, and the like, and they were inextricably linked to the Holy Descent family.
The presence of their bodies here would make it difficult for everyone. If you follow the trail, you will also be at risk for Ponge.
The best thing to do is to make them disappear, because they are already dead anyway.
"No, leave the dead behind."
Lu Deng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said coldly,
"The dead are more useful than the living."
