Chapter 64: The Hourglass of the End
When Yadimu and Deli met again, it was already late.
"Artimu, you're back......."
In the quiet room, Deli looked at Yadimu in front of him, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Your wounds ....."
Yadimu looked at Deli in front of him and couldn't help frowning.
Deli is in terrible shape at the moment.
His body was covered in scars, and a huge cut had been made in his entire chest, and the injuries looked quite horrible.
It is precisely because of this injury that Deli is now lying on the bed, and he can only barely get up.
As for other drastic movements, they simply can't be done.
"During the time you left, I took people to fight those damn monsters, and I almost killed them."
Speaking of the previous situation, Deli's face couldn't help but show a wry smile: "I'm not as strong as you, I can't easily deal with those monsters." ”
"Don't say that."
Yadimu opened his mouth and comforted: "Everyone has their own strengths, compared to me, you are more suitable to be a commander, responsible for commanding the army in the rear, rather than as a charging warrior, fighting those demonized creatures on the front line......."
"Perhaps."
Deli smiled, revealing a self-deprecating look: "But the way I look now, I can't even command in the past." ”
"It's a good thing that you rushed back, Yadimu, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."
He sighed, then spoke, "How's the situation on Seth's side?" ”
"Not bad."
Yadimu nodded and said, "The number of monsters there is relatively small, and the pressure is far less than here. ”
"I've been there for a while, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"The grain he promised will also be transported after a while, and the time will not be short."
"That's good."
Hearing the news, a smile suddenly appeared on Deli's face.
At present, in addition to the threat of monsters, the food crisis in Stream Town is also obvious.
At the time of the disaster, food was scarce everywhere, even if Seth had taken a considerable number of refugees with him when he left, and the pressure was still very high.
In this case, it would be the best news if Seth could come with food.
Even if they have to pay a high price for this food.
After all, compared to the famine, other things are not very important for the time being.
"The way I am now, I can't command it for the time being."
After a moment of small talk, Deli revealed his last intentions: "During my time of recuperation, I want you to be the commander of Stream Town and protect the safety of everyone in this area. ”
"What is your opinion, Artimus?"
Hearing this, Artimus couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
On the side, the countdown to the hourglass continues, and it is already very close to the end.
But on the other hand, in the face of the terrifying pressure on Stream Town, and Deli's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
So after pondering for a moment, he still nodded: "I will do my best." ”
"That's fine."
Deli seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I can't believe in your ability." ”
"With you, this town will be safe."
"I believe that better than anyone else."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, as if he had let go of a concern.
On the same day, Artimu succeeded Deli as commander of Stream.
After Deli's injury, the town of Stream at this moment has actually become a plate of loose sand.
Lying on the hospital bed, Deli had no way to effectively command the guards around, so they could only be stationed in their own areas, alert to the demonic creatures that were attacking everywhere.
Passive defense, which is clearly not in line with Yatimu's style.
At this moment, there are more and more demonized creatures gathered around, if you don't take the initiative to attack now and relieve some more pressure, it is estimated that it will be even more terrifying after you arrive.
So the next day, Yadimu took the initiative to attack.
In order to ensure speed, he did not carry infantry, but took all the warriors who could ride horses and headed towards the large hordes of demonic creatures.
For a time, the results were quite obvious.
The demonized creatures are also scattered among themselves, except for a few times, when these demonized creatures will reach a consensus, most of the time, these demonized creatures are entrenched in their respective places, forming a small collective.
In normal times, these demons live in small collectives, with as few dozen or hundreds of people as each collective.
The scene of hundreds of demons gathering like this before is quite rare and special.
This kind of small collective approach undoubtedly gave Yadimu a chance to break through.
Once the monsters are gathered, the damage caused is quite terrifying, but if they are scattered, then it is like that, it is nothing.
So at the beginning, Artimu's actions were quite smooth.
After awakening the seed of life and being promoted to knight, his strength has increased a lot, and now he is like a monster in human form, and his strength is suffocating.
Even if it is a so-called powerful demon, it is a matter of casual blow in front of Yadimu.
Under his leadership, the demons everywhere were gradually broken.
Of course, although this tactic is easy to use, it can only have such a good effect if it is used by Yadimu.
If Deli and others come, then it is very likely that the result will be like the previous Deli, and he will be directly beaten and seriously injured.
The difference in personal strength between Yadimu and Deli is the biggest factor in whether this tactic can be carried out.
In the repeated battles, whether it was Yadimu or others, their progress was huge.
Slowly, they began to get used to this kind of fighting, and the whole was slowly tempered.
Over the years, however, things changed.
A few days later, the monsters in the outside world seemed to react and began to make targeted moves.
Originally, there were many small settlements of demons with dozens of people on the plains outside Stream Town, but now they are nowhere to be seen.
However, as far as the eye can see, there are at least two hundred demons gathered around, and they are all quite close to each other.
They have even learned to support that when a Majin tribe is attacked, nearby Majin tribes will come in coming.
Yadimu had encountered it once before.
If it weren't for Artimu's quick enough reaction, I'm afraid they would have suffered a lot of losses.
This kind of performance made Yadimu instinctively feel uneasy.
Although demons have intelligence, they are far inferior to normal humans, and according to common sense, they should not be able to do this.
Not to mention the mutual support between monsters, what is needed for this is strong coordination.
Ordinary demonic creatures are not capable of doing this.
There must be a problem.
Artimu gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.
And compared to external pressure, the more serious facts at this moment are in front of him.
At noon, the sun shone on the earth, brightening the face of Artimus.
Standing in this piece of sunlight, Yadimu's eyes were fixed on him.
There, a golden hourglass emerged, with gravel falling from it, now nearing its end.
Yes, the time for Artimus has finally arrived.
In fact, counting the days, the time of Artimu should have arrived a few days ago.
It was he who tried all kinds of ways to delay, so that the hourglass ran much slower, and only then did he have a few more days to respond.
But no matter how much it is delayed, the hourglass will eventually come to an end.
When the last grain of sand fell, the golden hourglass in front of him slowly bloomed with a pale golden glow.
A layer of familiar golden light was about to envelop Yadimu's entire person.
Everything seems to be ushering in a new beginning, as it was in the past.
But Artimus didn't want that.
If it was a normal time, he would have left.
But at this time, as the commander of Stream Town, if he leaves, it will have a huge impact on the current situation.
To put it bluntly, the morale of the entire Stream Town Guard, which had been so hard to improve, would collapse directly because of this.
