Volume 2: The Game of Zero Chapter 23 The Scarlet Road
Laron Denton nodded and waved his hand: "Lord of the Church, you can call me Lalon." I don't know if you're here......"
"I just clashed with several 'strangers' on the street, one of whom was taken away by the city guards, and I want to know his whereabouts."
Before he came in, Ning He had already stretched his sleeves slightly, and his two hands were hidden in his sleeves, he didn't want these people to know his identity as a stranger for the time being.
"Oh." Lalong breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body had a certain amount of ups and downs, and his expression relaxed slightly: "This, the general troublesome stranger, we will take him out of the city, and-"
Laron made a gesture to wipe his neck and flattered: "That stranger who does not have long eyes must have fallen into the dark place at this time, and he will not blaspheme the god of light." ”
"All players who make trouble will be executed?" Ning He frowned slightly, and his tone was slightly dark.
Laron didn't notice the change in the tone of the adult in front of him, he nodded and said, "All troublemakers will be executed, regardless of how big or small. Most of them dissolve quickly after death, so there is no need to dig a pit and bury them. ”
After death, Ning He can probably guess that it is the cause of the resurrection. But... He cared a lot about what Laron said.
"That is." Ning He pondered his words and tone for a moment, and said, "There are still some strangers whose flesh will not dissipate?" ”
Laron smiled, and he gradually let go, the church lord in front of him was a little different from the ones he had seen before, giving people a very casual feeling, without any majesty.
He nodded: "Well, there are a small number of strangers who will be like us when they die, and they don't know what the principle is. However, according to the instructions of the Church of Light, the strangers whose bodies will not be dissolved must notify the clergy to come and preside over the ceremony after the execution. ”
As he spoke, an annoyed expression appeared on his face, "These dead ghosts have multiplied the workload of our guards several times!" Originally, the strangers who committed crimes a few days ago could be directly dissolved, but now there are a lot of things that cannot be dissolved, and it is a waste of time just to ask the priest. And to be buried in the Kingdom Cemetery, Fei ......"
Laron looked up halfway through his speech and saw Ning He's gloomy face, and he shut up in amusement.
Ning He swept through everyone in the hall, "Laron, find someone to take me to the place where you dealt with the outlanders." ”
"Uh, sir... Then you are not for a noble believer in the God of Light like you. ”
"So, what's the director!" The door of the guard was slammed open from the outside, and both doors made a loud noise, and Laron was startled, one of his hands pressed against the short knife at his waist.
The visitor did not stop, he walked a few steps to Ning He and Laron Denton, and gasped: "Director, there is a group of strangers in the dense forest, and they are shouting for us to release the rest of the people inside. ”
Lalong glanced at Ning He carefully, and seeing that he was indifferent, he scolded in a low voice: "What are you yelling about!" Isn't there still a king's army stationed near the jungle? Are these strangers crazy? ”
"That's... The king's army ignored us, and now Warren is delaying time in the dense forest, and he told us to go back to our respective guard posts to call reinforcements to surround the dense forest, and our city guard barracks have also passed. ”
Lalon's heart trembled, there were a lot of city guards in the dense forest, even if there were many strangers, it was reasonable to say that they could take care of them. And if there is a conflict between the two sides, the king's army will not ignore it, otherwise they can't afford the consequences, which is at the feet of the king.
Unless... Unless Matteo Warren, the commander of the City Guard, has gone to kill and wants to get rid of all the strangers who have come to shout.
At this moment, even Laron Denton, who had seen blood on his hands more than once, couldn't help but be frightened. Ever since the arrival of the Outlanders, they have been dealing with the disobedient Outlanders in an orderly manner, but the Kingdom of Io has always exercised restraint and has not caused large-scale slaughter, because such a thing can easily provoke a revolt if it is revealed.
With so many strangers, if they rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ning He looked at Lalon's panicked expression and coughed lightly: "Since I'm here to call for support, then bring me over by the way, just right." ”
Lalon's thoughts were interrupted by Ning He, who looked at the papal decree in Ning He's hand, and his heart suddenly moved. He nodded hurriedly, and at the same time turned around and pointed at more than a dozen people, and said sharply: "The people who were ordered come with me!" He turned his head to Ning He's voice and said gently: "Don't be ado, let's talk about something on the road." ”
"Hmm."
On a sunny afternoon, what should have been a warm and vibrant dense forest is indeed a solemn atmosphere.
In front of the road leading to the depths of the forest, the barricades were lined up, and the city guards stood behind the barricades, their swords unsheathed and their arrows wound.
Three meters away from the barricade, crowded with strangers with silver star bracelets on their hands, they looked at these indifferent and ruthless NPCs with resentful expressions, and at the front of the NPC was a middle-aged man in black and red armor, who pressed his sword in one hand and held the barricade in the other, standing in the closest place to the stranger.
"Give you a chance, disperse now."
Matteo Warren, the third commander of the city guard, a close vassal of the king. His expression was cold, this group of strangers didn't know what was going on, but they actually found this place, and he looked at the strangers who were squeezed into the front row and were uneasy, and his face was sarcastic.
In the crowd of strangers, I don't know who roared, "Surrender!" Deliver! ”
The crowd was so excited that everyone shouted to the rhythm, and no one responded to his request.
Matteo watched quietly, and many of the strangers were red in their necks and faces, but few of them took a step forward. Because at a distance of three meters from the barricades, they had already paid a lot of lives, and the empty road was once littered with corpses.
It's just that all traces will soon disappear.
The two sides confronted each other like this, and Mateo stood still, as long as they didn't storm the jungle, he could wait for a while.
"Your Excellency." A close attendant trotted over from behind the military formation, and he bowed slightly and said, "Reinforcements from all the guards and the city guard headquarters have arrived, and the encirclement around them has been opened. ”
"What about the Knights of the Aegis?"
Mateo glanced back at the depths of the forest, where there was also an Aegis Knights, the sword and shield of the king.
"They have sent a hundred-man team, already lined up behind our formation, and they can charge at any time as long as we remove the barricades."
Matteo nodded in satisfaction, and he looked at the crowd of strangers in front of him, not to mention a thousand people, and showed a cruel smile.
He slowly walked towards the right side of the road, and slowly drew his sword as he pressed the hand on the hilt. By the time he reached the side of the road, the attendant had taken a look at it and removed all the barricades.
Mateo shouted: "Charge! ”
Behind him, the city guard split from the center, and only the neighing of horses could be heard, and the cavalry rushed out of the cracked formation, and they rushed straight along the road towards the crowd of strangers.
The people at the front of the crowd looked in horror at the horses of the horror incarnates and the knights on horseback with the spear of death. With just a staggered glance, all the strangers in the front row turned to run away, they pushed, they crowded, and the whole crowd was in chaos.
"Woohoo!"
Faster than the Knights of the Shield Knights were the bows and arrows thrown from behind them, and a rain of arrows fell on the players' heads, and a group of players fell to the ground, and the fear spread rapidly throughout the team, everyone panicked and tried to escape, and everyone was pinned down the road.
A few breaths of time was enough for the sprinting knights, and rows of Aegis knights burst into the crowd, reaping lives at will.
Frightened, angry, puzzled, helpless.
Really smart players weren't lured by the organizers of the event, and some of the more clever ones who liked to join in the fun had already quietly faded away at the first wave of bloody slaughter. The clever players in the crowd were now digging into the woods on either side, and they were complacent, as if they had found a real escape route compared to the avenue.
It's just that such luck soon came to an end, and when they saw the silent city guards lined up in the middle of the forest, they were cold from head to toe.
As for the organizers, they either didn't leave the city at all, or they had already gotten out of the way after leading the crowd into the forest.
The road leading to the dense forest was full of corpses, and the eyes were bloody. Even Matteo Warren, who had been in battle for a long time and had seen the real battle on the battlefield, couldn't help frowning at this time, although the blood and bones would soon dissolve naturally.
A breeze swept across the road with the smell of dirt in the distance, and it took away the hellish scene and brought with it the young stranger with the papal decree in hand.
Ning He was late, and Laron Denton's expectations were disappointed.
When they hurriedly felt, the King's army had quietly closed the entire area, Laron and the city guards he brought were quickly released, and Ning He, who had integrated into the team, had already followed in. But because of Lalon's unintentional words, he was detained by the king's army.
The release of the King's army was after everything was over, and the dust had settled when Ning He set foot on this path.
The lonely young man walked on the road to the dense forest, and behind him, the boundless blood color was dissolving, turning into a wave of light particles. And he walked in it like this, like the son of God who cleansed the world, and the papal decree he held in his hand made all the city guards who were cleaning the battlefield and recovering their weapons line up on both sides to make way for this stranger with the papal decree in hand.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his star bracelet, dyed golden, and his people bathed in it.
Mateo squinted at the visitor, the papal decree in his hand and the star bracelet on his left hand made him feel a kind of grotesque.
The two things that shouldn't have been here in the first place have now appeared together.
"Da, da, da."
Ning He's pace was slow and orderly, and he stopped two meters in front of Mateo and looked at the three commanders of the city guards with a grim expression.
"Who told you to do it?"
Mateo laughed, "What do you have to do with it?" Outlander. ”
