Chapter 44. The decisive battle begins
"Confess... Where does this begin! ”
"From the moment you kill the Traveler to get the Left Hand Wind Cave! Word for word, don't hide anything! ”
He is my master and has always protected me...
Qi Rusong frowned, and then mustered up the courage to say slowly.
After listening to his words, Marven's expression became very complicated, "Hmph, I should have slaughtered you too!" He said, "Now, if I ask you again, do you know what your problem is?" ”
"I'm not careful enough, I'm always getting people to grab the handle... And impatient, impulsive. ”
"It's kind of self-aware." He was halfway through his laughter, when suddenly a sharp pain hit him, and he turned to a muffled grunt. "Heaven forbid," he muttered, panting in pain.
"Those who achieve great things are not informal, do things without looking ahead and backward, and will only get the worst results in the end. What is the difference between using the wind pocket once and using it a hundred times? ”
"I'm afraid of being discovered."
"Afraid of being discovered? How does a tiger feel when hunting its prey? Marven reprimanded, "If you are a careful person, you can naturally hide your secrets carefully." But you...
Hmph, the Wind Cave Lord has already publicly protected you, so how about using it generously? ”
"If the weak are suspicious, don't pay attention to it, and if the strong are suspicious, they will say that it is my Qi clan's secret technique!"
"Ahem, it's not too stupid!" He said weakly, "That girl." Su Yu, the body was given to you, right? ”
Through Qi Rusong's expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly, "This girl is not simple, courageous and careful." And the system of the traverser, she... She's really sent by the heavens to help you. ”
After saying that, Marven coughed up a puddle of blood. "You're going to treat her well, and I'll... Write a letter... To the prince... Prove that she is... My nephew's daughter... It's kind of giving her an identity... So that she can be in... Lingnan City... Life. ”
He raised his hands weakly in a state of extreme pain. "Bring pen and paper, it's on the table over there."
Qi Rusong flattened the paper on his knees and handed over the brush.
[The following is written by Ma Wen, the deputy master of the Southern Demon Hunting Gate: This woman's name is Su Yu, and she is the daughter of my nephew. Because of her status as an illegitimate daughter, she lives in a border village in the Ghost Forest to avoid trouble.
The demon clan is in turmoil, and his parents are unfortunately harmed by the demon clan. Lonely and miserable, I specially ask the prince to take care of him until adulthood! 】
"What else do you want me to write?" Marven smiled, "Do you want to imply that she is already the daughter-in-law of your Qi family." ”
"Write... What should be explained is still to be explained! "Qi Rusong said." I must not let my father marry her to anyone else!" ”
"Dare to do it, not bad!" Marven nodded in satisfaction. "Next, the entire Southern Demon Hunting Gate will depend on you."
"Master!" Hearing this, Qi Rusong was a little embarrassed, "The Demon Hunting Gate needs you, I..."
Marven clasped his hand and squeezed it hard. "Qi Rusong, don't let me down..."
Seeing Master's expectant eyes, he nodded vigorously. "Okay, I will live up to Master's trust."
Marven showed a smile, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth: "What are you doing, my old man Ma is not dead yet, don't look like this." You won't let me down! ”
Qi Rusong squeezed out a smile, "I'll let the doctor in?" ”
"It's fine. God, it's so cold all of a sudden! Marven nodded weakly.
Qi Rusong summoned his subordinates and the doctor. The attendants rushed in and hurried to add wood to the fire.
"Lord Qi, there are still many things to deal with outside." A demon hunter told him. "We'll take care of the owner."
"Got it."
Walking outside, the wolf stood guard at the door. "From now on, you're my boss!"
"Let's report on the battle!"
The wolf's eyes became a little lower: "One hundred and thirty-three people have not cultivated the spiritual qi [swordsmen] killed in our battle, and sixty-seven people below the [second-order sword envoys]. There are thirteen [second-order sword spirits] and seven [third-order sword masters] and above. Among them is a [Fourth-Order Great Sword Master].
Killed 764 demon clansmen, including 45 [giant demon clans], 37 [giant beasts], and 177 crossing demons. There is no way to verify the strength of the demon clan. ”
"Is it a victory?" Qi Rusong asked him.
"Nope! The number of demons is dozens of times that of us. The wolf replied, "We... It's hard to win! ”
"These words cannot be told to anyone else!" Qi Rusong said, "Lord Marven should hand over the Demon Hunting Gate to you." ”
"No, it has to be you." The mad wolf said, "You are the little prince of the southern realm, a disciple of Marven's personal lineage, a descendant of the five great families of Great Xia, and no one else. The Demon Hunting Gate is yours, Qi Rusong! ”
~~~~Dividing line~~~
From that day on, day and night, the battle continued.
Qi Rusong couldn't remember the last time he fell asleep. When you close your eyes, you dream of fighting; When you open your eyes, you're fighting. Day and night never stop.
On this day, when Su Yu came to call him, he had already woken up and was lying on the floor of the greenhouse in a state of confusion. "Brother Qi, it's dawn!" The girl shook his shoulder as she spoke: she pulled Qi Rusong and helped him up.
They walked out the door together, and the others had been waiting for a long time.
No one spoke.
They were all too tired to talk. No one has left the camp these days.
Marven was badly wounded, and he was no longer able to fight. And the demon clan side may be as he said, the other party is also seriously injured. At least Evil Shen and Han Qianhuang did not appear again during this time.
"Rusong, Su Yu!" The wolf called them by name, "Guess what I dreamed about?" ”
"What?" It was Su Yu who answered him.
"Your Majesty, Master of the Gate, they are here!" The mad wolf said happily, "Lord Marven Edgeworth flew out of here and went to Zhongzhou City, and His Majesty and the head gate master led the army. I dreamed of the flag of my Great Xia Kingdom. ”
Qi Rusong forced himself to smile, "That must be a good dream." He tried to keep himself smiling, and anyone could give up hope, but he couldn't.
He put on his coat and walked to the gate to welcome the new day.
A gust of wind blew a trace of cold air into his long black hair. Half a mile to the north, the demon camp was busy, and countless bonfires rose and pillars of smoke grabbed the pale sky like fingers.
They pitched their tents along the edge of the forest, and even built a rudimentary long hall out of logs and branches;
To the east is the resting place of the behemoths, to the west is the territory of the demon clans, and to the north is the camp of the traversers.
There were people everywhere, some practicing their swordsmanship, some poisoning their weapons, and some polishing their armor.
Qi Rusong knew that there were more demon clans in the surrounding forests. The trees provide a barrier that hides them.
"They're here again!" The Wild Wolf announced.
Every morning, the demons launch a disturbing harassing assault. Or it would be more appropriate to send them to death, because such an attack is pointless.
The vast majority of those who participated in the attack were [Island Country Crossing Demons] without any aura. Led by several demon clans, they launched suicide attacks again and again.
In less than a moment, the attacking [Island Country Crossing Demon] all fell, and the demon clan that commanded them even fled with a smile on their faces.
They were using our hands to kill the Crossing Demon, and the wolf even made such a statement.
"Go to sleep, brothers who kept vigil last night." Qi Rusong ordered.
"My lord, we don't need to rest."
"It's an order. You'll need to maintain your fitness to have the strength to kill more demons. He forced himself to smile again.
Only then did the disciples of the Demon Hunter Sect return to their tents.
Look into the distance and search for the demon camp. Every now and then an arrow would pass overhead, but he learned to ignore it. The distance is long, the angle is poor, and the chance of being shot is small.
There was still no sign of Dan Ming, but he saw Evil Shen... The god will lose an eye and two fingers in his right hand, but his temper will not diminish in the slightest. He was roaring at his demons.
"Lord Qi." Hearing this, he knew that the disciple in the kitchen had brought breakfast.
However, Qi Rusong had no appetite at all. The oil was gone, the food was running out, and the snow was all around it. If you go down any further, the water will be cut off.
The night before, the scouts sent out returned. He brought worse news, more demons are coming out of the Greywind Canyon. Of the four squad scouts, he was the only one who survived.
The situation is getting worse and worse.
Even if Marven recovers, he can't change everything now.
If the stone snake was here, he would definitely say that ten Marven wouldn't change anything.
Hungry or not, he forced himself to eat. Not being able to sleep is bad enough to go into battle on an empty stomach. Besides, it might be my last meal. The last meal for all of us.
So Qi Rusong stuffed a belly full of hard steamed buns, wild vegetables and jerky.
Suddenly, only the wolf was heard shouting again; "Here they are."
Qi Rusong looked not far away, the camp of the demon clan was empty, and only some old and sick people remained.
All of them are out! He realized. This time it's going to be a decisive battle....
"Blow the trumpet!" He immediately ordered.
The demon hunter then sounded the battle horn to wake up the disciples who had been on guard at night and were now on rest.
Feng Gaowei smacked his lips: "Little prince, today we are going to compete to see who will kill more?" That didn't motivate him much, and his voice looked tired.
Dan Ming's forces are infinite and can be put into a new force every day, but a few of us have to deal with every attack, and it is gradually becoming unsustainable.
The demons lined up neatly, slowly walking past rocks, stumps and shrubs.
Previous attacks left the demon clan with hundreds of corpses, most of which were still lying where they fell. In the intervals when the fighting has subsided, the scavenging birds will come to accompany them, but now they are screaming and fleeing.
Everyone looked at themselves, and Qi Rusong knew that they were waiting for his orders. But he was so tired that he could barely think.
It's time to say something, he told himself.
"Maybe today will be the last time we'll have breakfast, and maybe many of us won't see the sunset today." Qi Rusong Road; "At this moment, I am as fearful as everyone else.
We may die, but our sacrifice has bought precious time for the people of the South. Before we entered the Ghost Shadow Forest, Elder Wu had already gone to Zhongzhou City with Lord Marven's handwritten letter.
I believe that at this moment, I, the Great Xia Emperor, and the head of my Demon Hunting Sect already know about this. They are gathering armies, gathering the strong. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors defeated the demon race, and thousands of years later, the demon race will be wiped out by us again.
They now want to kill us and then attack Lingnan City. How should we answer them? ”
"Let them come!" The wolf roared.
"Let them come!" The disciples shouted in unison.
"Leave no mouth alive!" Qi Rusong shouted, all the demon hunters lined up neatly, they will fight to the death with the demon clan!
