Chapter 22: Internal Division
Faced with this young clansman's suicide to prevent more people from joining, Hong Mei was furious, and suddenly saw her wave of her big hand, and the bone pile on the ground immediately ignited a pile of green fire, blazing, turning her head to look directly at Sang Lao, the bone fire in her eye sockets rose angrily, as if she wanted to turn this endless anger to the side of the conservatives led by Sang Lao.
"You, you, you...... Dare to burn the bones of your people, ah...... The sins are too great to be forgiven!"
This old man was forced to retreat by Hong Mei's momentum, and took three steps back in a row before he paused, in fact, it is no wonder that Hong Mei participated in several battles in a row, and his combat power rose sharply, and now he is close to the middle and late stages of green fire;
If it were in the ancient era, Sang Lao's combat power would even surpass Hong Mei's, but now his rotten body can't resist Hong Mei's oppression at all, so his momentum is a big shortening. Despite this, Sang Lao is also a person who has experienced the great world, "You have exceeded the limit of what our people can tolerate, what is the difference between this and the outer demons......? Comfort the spirits of the dead. ”
"You want to sacrifice me out of the city?
A powerful air flow centered on Hong Mei, and the shock wave pressed towards the surroundings, and several skeletons who obeyed Sang Lao's orders were like falling leaves in the wind, and at a distance of about five meters from Hong Mei, they could no longer take a step forward. This is the difference in strength.
"I have been ordered by Lord Xianzong to come here to persuade everyone to follow the new leader-just so that everyone can survive and wait until the moment we return to the human world; How many of you...... Do you want to follow in his footsteps?"
is not angry and self-assured, it is a fact that Hong Mei is wearing a king's cloak, so her will has unquestionable authority. The few skeletons who came to besiege were also interested, and they looked at each other and retreated.
Seeing that the siege was unsuccessful, the old man shouted hysterically, "Ridiculous, there is no instrument spirit of the predecessor of the monarch on her cloak, Lord Xianzong may be wandering outside, you clansmen must not listen to his demagoguery, and be misled by her to become an accomplice!"
After communicating with Fang Lei some time ago, Jun Yan fell into a deep sleep recovery.
The current cloak, although there is no machine spirit, is still a holy weapon in the eyes of this group of skeletons, so Hong Mei doesn't care about Sang Lao fanning the flames. She didn't say anything more, her eyes stared coldly, and only Sang Lao's voice was heard in the whole space!
Grief, indignation, desolation, despair, and then full of disdain, roaring and accusations!
However, in the face of absolute strength and unquestionable holy weapons, the old man's accumulated majesty was rapidly declining.
Finally, it seemed that some people loosened and walked behind Hong Mei.
But there are still a third of the skeletons, still on the sidelines, and they are reluctant to join.
Great love is boundless, there is no need to deliberately show it, Hong Mei knew that the time to make a decision to kill has come, and now this old guy must be dealt with, otherwise there will be more clansmen, and they will eventually die in the cold winter with no hope - this is a situation that Fang Lei never wants to see, and Hong Mei is the same.
"Elder Sang, you have always been suspicious of the arrangement of the Immortal Sect, and you have repeatedly used the slogan of not devouring the bone fire to make everyone disobey the orders of the Immortal Sect, in fact, what have you contributed to everyone, and now-I want to pronounce the sentence, you are guilty!"
The old man was taken aback, "What do you want to do?"
In front of everyone's eyes, Hong Mei stepped forward step by step, and lifted Sang Lao high, and her ruthless voice carried a sense of judgment, "Millions of years ago, we all followed the orders of the Supreme Command when we came to this battlefield, and to this day, the orders of Lord Xianzong are still valid - anyone who tries to obstruct the commander's orders will only have one end!"
"Oh, no! I'm not willing to do it......"
did not die in the hands of the demons, but was killed by his own people, Sang Lao suddenly woke up to the consequences of this paranoia at this moment, but it was too late, Hong Mei's arm was already raging, ruthlessly devouring this stubborn rickety bones, although her heart was quite unbearable, but Hong Mei still did not show a trace of remorse.
Smack, smack!
The scorched bones fell to the ground and continued to burn, but in just a few breaths, Sang Lao was completely shattered and turned into ashes in the real sense.
"Is there anyone among you who wants to go with us?" said Hong Mei calmly after the killing.
By now, conservatives account for one-third of the total number, and it is clear that the death of Sang Lao has made some of them stop holding on and quickly stand behind Hong Mei, but there are still about 500 skeletons, which are even more paranoid because of this. It is impossible for this person to follow Fang Lei.
Hong Mei understood that it was useless to be reluctant, and it was time to give up, so she waved her big hand and said to everyone, "Let's pull out!"
Sang Lao's death was like a stone pressing on the heart, everyone was silent, and the mood was heavy. Completely breaking with their former comrades, they formed two teams and walked out of the skull hole from the left and right loops respectively.
Witnessing everyone leaving, among the skeletons standing on the Taiji diagram, a burly skeleton walked out of the team, knelt on the ground and picked up Sang Lao's ashes, "Lord Sang, Hong Mei killed you under the pretense of a military order, and we all know that you have made too many contributions to the clansmen." But why is this the end? Why, why, why?"
Shouting three "Why?" in a row, the great man who had held a pivotal position under the command of the monarch roared to the sky, "I must completely change this situation." No, we can't die, we can't die in the cold winter!"
This general's name is Feng Tian, and his combat power at his peak far exceeds that of Hong Mei, so his position is also higher than that of a middle-level officer like Zao Wou-ki, he can't afford to kneel for a long time, and he is determined to raise his head and say to the rest of Wu Baibu, "Everyone, do you choose to die, or are you going to give it a go?"
"General Fengtian, please instruct!"
Laughing miserably, Feng Tianwei'an's body now trembled, "Since we have disobeyed the order of the Immortal Sect, from now on, we will also be in one faction - now there are only two paths in front of us, death or life!"
"The lowly ones would like to hear about it. ”
"If we don't get supplies, we won't survive the cold winter. There's only one way to survive - devour the bone fire!"
There was a strong sense of self-reproach in his words, but every word was full of unquestionable firmness, "We must live, just to punish the Zerg who devoured the bones and fire of our people, and punish these traitors who have forsaken us." I have made an oath today that one day we will execute these traitors and purge all the Zerg - I will come to this cave again and apologize to the king, to those comrades who died on the battlefield and who were devoured by me!"
The big man stood up, his thick bones casting a long shadow on the ground, and slowly walked out of the cave.
Among the people, there were finally people who followed his pace, and there were about 200 skeletons left here at the end, they did not choose Hong Mei, let alone follow Fengtian, and when all the strife was settled, outside the cave, a lamentation was heard from inside.
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.
The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.
Ask you when you will go, and don't linger when you come
A pot of turbidity sprinkled with all the joy, don't dream cold tonight
The song gradually faded from high-pitched to decaying, and by the end of the song, the skeletons had cut themselves. The last skeleton piled their bones together and carved a line of words on the ground with all his might: "If there is a teacher, please bury us in our hometown." ”
In his eyes, the blazing light gradually dimmed. Time will leave an eternal memory on them.
......
Hong Mei led nearly 4,000 skeletons to return, and the trip was very fruitful, but also buried a huge hidden danger. The Fengtian clan will become an extremely difficult opponent for them to deal with in the future.
Base, hatchery.
The weak Anas guarded the more than 100 eggs laid by the mother, which were only the size of a ping-pong ball, and many of them were bad. The radiance of motherhood made Anas very sad to see these bad eggs.
At the beginning, Anas once led a team to attack Xiaohua and killed two of Xiaohua's subordinates, it stands to reason that Xiaohua should be full of hatred for Anas, but under the adjustment of Fang Lei, the two most powerful flying insects finally looked at things from the same angle, and Xiaohua took advantage of Anas not paying attention to remove those dead eggs.
Every insect egg Anas has a count, she knows that Xiaohua is dealing with it behind her back, in order not to make herself sad, Anas is extremely sad, coupled with the overwork during the prenatal pursuit of kava, her body began to weaken, and the light in her compound eyes is no longer there.
The replenishment of light firefly energy could not solve the problem, and after more than ten days, Anas died of severe postpartum weakness.
Before dying, in order to make up for her indebtedness, Anas personally dug out a bee insect spirit from her abdomen and placed it beside her - the pheromone message to Xiaohua was only a few words.
"Care for them as much as I do, Xie Luxie!"
Obtaining this bee worm spirit, Xiaohua has a good chance of advancing to the second order, but the death of Anas is even more painful, in order to prevent her from being eaten by the wasteland wanderers, Xiaohua buried Anas in the sand outside and guarded it for a full month, until the cold winter finally came, and the temperature dropped to about -100 degrees, before returning to the nest and taking these little ones into a deep sleep.
I don't know if it's providence, among these eggs laid by Anas, almost all of them are second-order bee insects or second-order pincer insects, but there are exceptions - there is even a third-order little guy, who is also the same as Xiaohua; This is undoubtedly a great thing for Fang Lei, but it is nutritional, pink and tender is the smallest, and it does not show any outstanding features in the current juvenile stage.
Under Fang Lei's command, there are now 4,000 green low-level skeleton powerhouses, and 12 green middle-level skeletons like Huangfu Zong. The descendants of the king of the kava pincer insects - that is, more than 100 second-order pincer larvae hatched from the mother, 100 second-order pincer heirs of Anas, plus more than 30 adults such as the original Dasha brother and Xiaohua, the scale of the army is unprecedentedly strong.
The cold winter period will get colder and colder, and eventually it may reach minus 300 degrees, making it impossible to do any outdoor activities, and now the more troops there are, the greater the pressure.
In order to maintain such a huge supply of legion energy, Fang Lei must seize every opportunity to scavenge for shallow firefly energy to ensure that the cold winter period can be used as a time period for larvae to grow, and at the same time, at the beginning of spring, he can clearly expand into a wider area.
In order to meet the basic needs of this winter, Fang Lei decomposed all the blue light firefly energy obtained from the conquest of the King of Kava, increased the combat power of more than 100 skeleton soldiers, and then led more than 30 pincer troops to carry out the longest and largest attack in history - the target was a medium-sized Zerg base that had entered a dormant period.
