Chapter 34: Let Me Carry All My Sins
The setting sun spread the bright red on the grass, and the grass was a mess on the yellowish green grass in the autumn wind, and the land was already the color of blood long before the sun went down.
The mangled corpses adorned the sunset, the broken barrels of the guns stuck to the ground, the reeds that the storm swept by, and the torn flags left the wisps of rags, hanging on the top of the poles and swaying in the wind, flapping the swords broken between the reeds.
ββββββββββββ
The corpse hound frantically rushed into the urgently assembled shield array, and the spear contradiction array that could defend against the heavy cavalry assault only lasted less than a second under the impact of the giant beast, and then it was like a muddy dam built by a child to meet the flood peak, and it collapsed in an instant.
The sharp spear was enough to pierce through the steel-forged breastplate, but it was useless in front of the behemoth, and the huge body formed by countless living corpses would not stop because of the dozens of inconspicuous little eyes on the body. The strength of the stout limbs propelled the mountain-like body forward, and the already bent hardwood barrels bent back and broken, and in a crackling sound, the hastily assembled spear array was destroyed, and the weeping soldiers were flapped away by the two giant claws that followed.
Under the rain of corpses scattered in the sky, the second row of shield-wielding soldiers looked back at the shadows overhead with desperate eyes.
The soldiers who bore the brunt felt that their shields had caught up with a galloping bull, and they flew backwards with a shock to their bodies. It's just that the strength of this bull is beyond his own imagination, and he also flies unusually far.
"In the name of the Holy Light!
Several priests in the back row cast a [heroism] on the soldiers, trying to get them to launch a counter-charge against the monstrous beast. But the corpse hound's collar was attached to Wang Ming's carefully concocted fear technique. This spell has undergone a refinement of infinite negative energy in the underworld. The aura emanating was enough to make the most determined warrior turn and flee for his life.
A priest reluctantly raised the silver cross on his chest, channeling the purifying light from Heavenly Mountain, trying to dispel the damned undead.
The last thing he saw was not a scene of the undead being dissolved and scattered by the wind, but a huge head piled up with countless skulls.
ββββββββββββ
"Mia, are we going too far? β
β...... Not too much, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, if we are to reach the green sea alive. Then we will have to deal with the morale of the Empire, and the massacre of the regular army will cause widespread panic, and I believe that many of the troops will not dare to come to us again after the news spreads by the opposing army. β
In response to Xinglian's inquiry, Wang Ming replied without changing his face.
Star Ripple commanded the astral structure to clean up the battlefield, hauling the armor stripped off the corpse to the side.
"I'm curious, you were just a civilian in the original world, how did you travel so far in less than half a year to be so murderous, and the sofa was too short?"
"The sofa is too short probably because the manufacturer is cutting corners...... Ah, this, mainly because, I'm a secondary two patient. And because I played too many bloody and violent games when I was a child, what super Mario, Contra and other eighteen forbidden games were my favorite when I was a child!"
Xinglian calmly kicked a helmeted head at his feet. The scattered brains pulled a red and white trail along the way.
"Even so, you don't need to use such a heavy means, normal people will have a nervous breakdown when they see so many incomplete corpses, as a mage, can you just use range spells to blast it?"
"That's right, I'm ...... Necromancer!"
ββββββββββββ
Seeing that the friendly forces were completely destroyed by the behemoths, the Holy See troops in the other direction were also a little nervous, and the screams were far more convincing than the shouts of the officers, and several soldiers had already thrown down their weapons and fled.
But the Overseers pinned to the ground with their longbows those who dared to flee.
Can you only fight hard? If so, you must pull a cushion on your back.
But when they pointed their weapons at the Knights of the Moon, they realized that their enemies were not the ones who were leisurely cleaning up the battlefield.
It's the corpse beside him.
"O resentful spirits in the abyss, I know your unwillingness, your resentment, I give you the way to return, and I order you to return to the world, and take this as a contract, and you must fight for me. Arise, my servant!"
The mutilated, fragmented corpses were originally lying in pools of blood that were beginning to dry up, and after hearing Wang Ming's necromancy spell, they all began to move their bodies and slowly got up from the ground. They looked at their bodies hesitantly, bewildered as newborn babies, but their cries were hundreds of times worse than that of babies. Scarlet eyes opened over their heads, hundreds of blood-colored fireflies added to the haze.
"Thou shalt be hungry and thirsty, thou shalt be bitterly cold, I will give you warm flesh and blood, and reward thy afflicted body, and thou mayest take it upon thyself!"
Wang Ming waved his finger at the scattered phalanx that was struggling to support in front of him, and those souls that had been impregnated and corrupted by negative energy drove their bodies that had long since died, and under the urging of endless hunger in their bodies, they staggered towards that phalanx.
A howl of terror came one after another, and several more soldiers threw down their weapons, and fled to the rear crying for their fathers and mothers, and were shot into hedgehogs by the arrows fired by the overseers.
The huge white bone staff in Wang Ming's hand flickered with a blood-colored cold and cold light, and the few soldiers who had just fallen got up again, but they had lost the haste they had when they fled before, and they turned around and walked towards the queue unhurriedly, and the arrow wounds that pierced through their chests and abdomen and the eyes that emitted red light made the soldiers at the back instinctively wave their weapons, chopping the few comrades who had just become undead creatures into pieces.
A priest stepped forward, raised the cross in his hand, and began to channel the light of Heavenly Mountain, which might not be able to dispel a monster as powerful as the Hound, but he was confident that it would dispel the walking corpses.
When the positive energy crossed the vast astral realm, arrived at the main material plane, and descended on the cross in the priest's hand, the corners of Wang Ming's mouth hooked up a strange smile.
The cross burst into silvery flames in the priest's hands. Also bursting was the priest's left hand, which was half an arm.
"Ahββ! what's going on!"
Cut off the divine power.
One of the special abilities possessed by the Throne of Bones.
Although the White Bone Throne in Wang Ming's hand is only a replica of the Cangyang system. But it was enough to cut off the connection between Wang Ming's goal and the gods. Under the dual role of transcendent control and parallel trading artifact. This priest, who was already much weaker than Wang Ming, lost his magic casting ability for no apparent reason, and every magic he guided would become a time bomb in his hand that counted down to one millisecond.
ββββββββββββ
Tsukizakura lifted a stick against the walking corpse that pounced on her, and then she glanced at it with a slanted glance, and the walking corpse turned into dust and disappeared into thin air.
"Mia, do you like the Undead Legion so much?"
Wang Ming is commanding the relatively intact corpses under his hands to dismember the batch of inferior undead who have escaped control: "I have already said it when I was in the Moon God Temple, the cost performance of the necromancer spell is the highest. β
The corpse hounds slowly paced the field, and the corpses covered in them stretched out their palms. Pick up all the pieces of corpse on the ground and stuff them into the crevices of the huge body.
"Don't waste it, don't waste it, the restoration of the corpse hound can't be done without a large number of corpses!"
Tolia finally couldn't help it anymore and threw Wang Ming over with a hard punch.
"What the hell!"
Wang Ming shouted at Toria.
"Mia, I never knew you were actually a demon in human skin, I misjudged you!"
Looking at the girl wrapped in half-body armor in confusion, Wang Ming suddenly remembered that she was a holy warrior, so he explained unhurriedly: "Toria, this is the means that must be used to punish evil." β
"Is it necessary to desecrate the corpses of the dead to punish evil? Does it necessary to slaughter ordinary soldiers who have surrendered and fled? To punish evil, does it necessary to leave no prisoners behind?"
"They didn't surrender again......"
Tolia punched Wang Ming's left eye fiercely: "You never gave them a chance to surrender at all!
Wang Ming was shot a full three meters away, only to feel that countless stars were twinkling in front of him.
"Shouldn't you be cruel to your enemies? I don't like to hit women, don't push me!"
Yueying put her calm mind on Wang Ming and Toria. Tepidly said: "You all calm down for me, Mia did the right thing, it's just too much, as for whether this behavior is evil...... Tolia, since you are already a member of the Moon Knights, then all actions that benefit the Knights are good, and all actions that will harm the interests of the Knights are evil, I think you should understand such a simple truth, right?"
Toria roared with tears in her eyes, "You are quibbling!
Cangyang, who had been silent, also spoke: "So, do you want the Holy See to launch a massacre of the Knights? Maybe this is kindness in your opinion?"
Tolia sat down on the ground in frustration and muttered to herself with a cry: "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!"
Xinglian's palm pressed against Toria's head: "Don't think too much, in fact, you just need to turn around......"
"Why, these dead people have parents and brothers waiting for them at home......"
Mia covered her left eye and walked up to Tolia and leaned over to take her into her arms: "Stupid, some of them are waiting, and we are waiting for us to go back...... If you die, there will be people who will be sad, and I would rather let others die than be hurt. β
"Tolia, forgive me, I didn't know it would hurt you, I just wanted you, everyone...... It's just a matter of living in peace. β
"Just let me bear a sin on my back......" Perhaps this tragic war caused turmoil and infighting at the top of the Knights, but the necromancy displayed by Wang Ming during the battle did shock the Holy See, and several regular armies had encountered the Knights, but they stopped a few kilometers away, and then made a big circle to avoid the confrontation with the Knights.
As for those elite troops, Wang Ming had encountered one time, and less than ten seconds after hundreds of Templars had launched a charge, a red curtain fell from the sky, and the flames that spread all over the mountains and fields made the Templars even men and horses close to each other.
Needless to say, there is basically no one else who can launch an attack of this scale except Scarlet Moon.
However, Scarlet Moon also hinted that the support she could provide was limited. At most, escort everyone to the western borders of the empire.
"Mia. Why don't we have to go to that damn green sea? we can't cross the papal lair if we take on the mission of defending it?"
Starripple had doubts a few days ago. But because Wang Ming fled, Yueying dragged Cangyang, who was the only one in charge, away from public funds for tourism, and this question couldn't ask anyone at all.
"What is our purpose?" Wang Ming did not answer directly, but asked Xinglian rhetorically.
"Needless to say, of course, it is to train troops in actual combat, in order to quickly enter battle. β
Wang Ming was still not ready to say directly: "Then, our army is going to be put into the twilight front, right?"
β...... Mia, if you don't say believe it or not, I'll make you have to squat to urinate. β
Although it is known that it is a joke. However, the organ that Wang Ming shouldn't have still felt the breath of the harsh winter and curled up into a cute ball.
"Okay, okay, I say, I say. Our goal is to quickly run in the armies and then throw them into the twilight front. Do you know where the Twilight Front is going?"
Xinglian's IQ is not at the level of Toria, and after thinking about it for a while, he will understand: "Could it be that the entrance to the Dusk Front is the Green Sea?"
"It's worthy of Xinglian, who attaches equal importance to wisdom and beauty, and I guessed it at once!"
Wang Ming couldn't help but praise her, maybe it's been a few days since the essence worm was in the brain, and there was not much resistance to beautiful women.
At this time, a discordant voice interjected: "That's, Lian-chan is our woman." However, beauty and wisdom are equally important. I might be more appropriately described as such. β
The speaker was Tsukizakura.
Tsukizakura, who is behind the Knights.
The chief priest of the Moon God Temple who can round and pinch a person of Wang Ming's level.
Wang Ming didn't dare to refute at all.
"Because she's telling the truth......"
Mia, why didn't I know that you were the royal sister.
"You know, pay it back?"
Yueying put the clay pot in her arms in the middle of the crowd in a circle: "Come." Let's eat. β
Looking at the tiny potatoes in the jar, Wang Ming's head was full of black lines: "Dear Sister Yueying, are you going to let us eat these things?"
"No way, the supplies have already been eaten. You're going to eat it, and we're probably going to have to draw lots tomorrow to eat one of you at random. β
β......β
Xinglian raised his hand: "Request to speak." β
"I would like approval, please speak. β
"Excuse me, why do we dare to go out on an expedition with an army without provisions?" As he spoke, Xing Lian put his unraised left hand into the clay pot, and took advantage of his speech to attract attention, and took several potatoes away.
"Didn't you drive the army out without supplies?"
The potato flew into Xinglian's mouth in the blink of an eye, and Xinglian, who retorted while chewing, muttered: "Eldest sister, obviously you said that you drove the army over to support, but you didn't say it was an expedition at all, we all thought that we would return to the camp directly after cleaning the battlefield." It's all your fault. β
Yueying snorted: "That's it, even so, it's your fault as a political commissar that you're not fully prepared, you should be prepared for this situation, shouldn't you bring sufficient supplies when you come out to support?"
β...... Eldest sister, I'm not responsible for the logistics supply at all, so I'm to blame Mia...... Well, the potatoes didn't burn badly enough, and the salt was too low. β
Yueying turned her gaze to Wang Ming, who was grabbing the biggest potato in the jar with Xinglian: "Oh, wisdom and beauty coexist, the powerful and handsome spiritual leader of the Knights of the Blue Moon, dazzling like the bright moon, shining like the sun, an angel who came to the world, a visitor from the underworld, the great sister Yueying." I wasn't there at all in those days, and you transferred me out, so the logistics ...... Wait, when did logistics become my responsibility? It's always been Cangyang's dead three-nothing, right?"
At this time, Cangyang, who was passing by with the spell book, was dragged over by Yue Ying: "Cute little sun, can you tell Sister SΓΉ, why is our logistics paralyzed?"
Cangyang tried to pull her head out of the deep valley on Yueying's chest, but she was not Yueying's opponent at all: "Eldest sister, I wasn't there for a few days, and I acted with you at that time, in the final analysis, it was your responsibility." β
"Huh, really? But now you're going to have to find a guy to bear everyone's anger anyway, what do you say?"
After using the power of the brute bull to forcibly break free from Yueying's embrace, Cangyang left with the large potato that Wang Ming was about to stuff into his mouth. Just throw down the sentence "It's none of my business." β
Yueying's gaze began to scan back and forth between Wang Ming and Xinglian.
"Girls. I need someone with dedication to step up...... Feel relieved. There is absolutely no danger to life!"
The two glanced at each other, and then pointed at each other with a tacit understanding.
"Stupid, this is still equivalent to one person, one vote, isn't it equivalent to letting me choose?"
The two girls once again tacitly pointed to the moon cherry.
β...... Do you want to die?"
Shrouded in the deep shadows of the moon cherry blossoms, the small voices of the two poor girls trembled against each other, shaking their heads desperately.
Then they quickly pointed their fingers at Toria, who was wiping her sword again.
"Ah, why didn't I think of that!" Tsukizakura patted her head. "Tolia is here as a paladin, and she will definitely not refuse my request in this case!"
"Tolia, we've run out of food, now if we don't have anything to eat, we're going to eat children, but that's not the point, the point is that the conflict in the army is intensifying, I have to find someone to take responsibility for this matter, if I can't find it, then it will lead to a mutiny, and many people will die, I know that you are such a kind-hearted Miss Paladin, and you definitely don't want to see this happen...... So how about you step up and be the scapegoat?"
After a hurried passage, Tolia's emerald green eyes turned into a pair of slowly rotating mosquito coils.
"If you agree, nod your head, that's a great thing!"
Toria was about to nod obediently when her left hand suddenly lifted and grabbed her head.
As her left hand squeezed the air, Lilith's voice came out through the vibration of the muscles in her hand: "Do you have an IQ of only (9), how can you agree to such a thing casually?
Tsukizakura's voice immediately changed to the tone of a street vendor who couldn't fool customers: "Cut." I thought a fat sheep had taken the bait. β
Wang Ming asked cautiously, "Then, eldest sister." What now?"
"What to do? Yes, of course...... Teleport directly to the Green Sea!"
Wang Ming didn't know until now that Yue Ying was just distressed about the teleportation array scroll, and they could have been directly parachuted into the Green Sea half a month ago.
"That's not the case, the teleportation technique also has a distance limit, and if you start teleporting from Rainbow City, these scrolls will not reach the green sea at all, and will only appear in the hinterland of the empire, so I will take you to the interior of the Roland Empire. β
You just don't want to spend money on premium reels!
"Do you think I can do such a unconscionable thing as spending all my public money on drinking?"
You're absolutely right!" Mia almost yelled.
"I've never done anything like diverting money from high-end weapons to drinking. β
Definitely done it!
Yueying covered her mouth: "Oh, hehehe, I'm the selfless Yueying!"
Wang Ming's head was planted directly into the clay pot.
ββββββββββββ
A city in the woods, a green sea.
All the buildings in the city, including the walls and turrets, are made of plants.
Huge vines formed a strong wall, and every fifty meters there was an upright tree supporting the huge vine wall, and the wooden platform was built on the large tree, which served as a watchtower and a shooting platform.
At this moment, there were already a lot of soldiers standing on the city wall, and there were several teams of archers on the arrow tower on guard.
"Who are you!" the nature elves who took the lead looked at them warily. Combined with the weapons raised by the soldiers on the side, this sentence sounded very unpleasant.
"We are the Knights of the Moon, reinforcements invited by the city lord, please let us enter the city. β
But the elf didn't seem to be ready to let them go: "Oh, but I see you like spies sent by the Holy See, what proof do you have of that you are reinforcements?"
Wang Ming stubbornly interjected: "Uh, this military master, look, does the Holy See have such a beautiful spy as us?"
It has been said in many books that elves are not only rich in mages, but also rich in nymphomaniac.
Seeing Wang Ming's face, the elf who had never seen anything in the world couldn't help but move up and down in his Adam's apple.
"Well, it is true that human beings are rarely so beautiful, and if I were a high-ranking member of the Holy See, I would definitely leave you in bed instead of sending you out on a high-risk mission. β
β...... Are you praising me or scolding me? β
"However, our enemies are very cunning, how do I know that they didn't deliberately train a girl like you to be a spy and send them over?"
Wang Ming muttered weakly: "Are you going to use bed fighting techniques to verify that you are not ......?" (to be continued......)
