Chapter 445: Quill's Understudy
The back-and-forth fighting lasted five days, with heavy casualties on both sides. There are only more than 30,000 soldiers left on Qi Lang's side, nearly half of them are still in the lottery, and the situation of Baji is not much better, and the 100,000 army claimed by Rebens is now only about half.
Badge's strength is beyond imagination. Despite the geographical advantage and the availability of a variety of field facilities, the individual combat strength was too weak for them to achieve the desired results in the handover. If this momentum continues, I am afraid that it will take two more days to wipe out the entire army. Wen Lun and Man Yushu, two old gentlemen, had already devoted the strength of the whole country to deploying more than 50,000 soldiers near Yuliang Town and Zuoze Town north of Dawu Mountain, ready to reinforce the front line at any time. But the combat ability of those soldiers is even weaker, and I am afraid that Rebens sending two or three thousand tiger head Baji will be enough to set off a bloody storm.
The situation is getting more and more serious. During the five days of fighting, the six groups of warriors standing at the bridgehead resisted most of Baji's frontal assault, but they were also a little overwhelmed. Shen Sushan's archer partner changed again and again, and now it could only be filled by the junior Douzun named Valdo under Jenny. Several of the wounds on Lansai's right arm were bone-piercing, and the axe could only be used with his left hand. Quill couldn't hold on any longer, and he slashed thirteen swords back and forth, eventually smashing his chest to the chest under the impact of several rhino bucks, and even Igru couldn't help him recover anytime soon. The three groups were so badly injured that they were in charge of defending the left side of the long bridge were extremely difficult.
The situation on the right side is also not optimistic. Dong Hong's partner, Liya Azhuo, had already withdrawn from the battlefield and was transported to Yuliang Town by the dragon monster for treatment, and her place was taken by her father, Pa Suorize. Although the old patriarch is brave. But his strength is nothing more than a high-level swordsman. The lethal power is really limited. Parry and Sabo were both covered in injuries, especially Parry, who was favored by many Baji masters, and there were probably more than ten arrows in his body that he didn't have time to take out.
In addition to being physically exhausted and covered in bruises, Qi Lang himself is quite normal. But that wasn't because he had received a lot of encouragement from the heroines of Mirong and Joanna - in fact, more often than not, he needed to remind them every now and then not to rush too far ahead - the real support came from the two silver pets of Iglu and Shokin. Schukin fended off most of the arrows flying in the air, and Igro attacked at the same time. has also been exerting his magical medical special effects, which make ordinary skin injuries not affect Qi Lang's combat power at all.
In fact, Iglu had made a request to Qi Lang in private, wanting to try to use his talent for manipulating corpses, and there were so many corpses here that they could be called inexhaustible and endless. But Qi Lang refused. On the one hand, he was worried that the demonic power of Igru was not well mastered, and if he forcibly applied it, it was likely that Igru would lose his justice and goodness, and thus embark on the same path as his brother, and on the other hand, Qi Lang was also extremely repulsed by that power in his heart, because in his opinion, no matter what the starting point was. Warriors who die in battle deserve to rest in peace, not to be turned into weapons with evil spirits. In that case, even if this war is finally won, Qi Lang's heart will not be able to calm down.
Qi Lang's idea was supported by everyone. No one wants to fight alongside zombies, and no one wants to be transformed into a cold zombie warrior when they die, and it's creepy to think about it - the reverence for the dead is innate to human beings, and whether or not the soul of the dead will be indifferent to the other world, treating the remnants of the flesh with respect is the greatest kindness that a righteous survivor can express.
The starless night fell again, and the warriors on both sides of the river gathered around the campfire, gasping heavily. The water of the Tenzin River in front of them was no longer able to rush, because the blood stains floating on the surface of the water were too viscous and too heavy. The same color has changed, and the long Tianlong Bridge, even the one hundred and ten thick piers are covered with thick blood and mud, and even if the river washes away, it can't wash away the original silver white.
But the warriors had long been numb to the bloody scene before them, they were powerless to think, and they did not want to think, and in their eyes, the bitter battle would continue, endlessly, until death finally came.
After shooting an arrow the next morning, Rebens didn't shoot again, as if he had been watching the show. He is indeed a cold-blooded animal, and it seems that his mood will remain excited whenever he sees bloodshed, but Qi Lang can be sure that in the coming time, Rebens's self-proclaimed protagonist will definitely not be watching from the sidelines, otherwise he will miss the opportunity to perform, and he will also miss the opportunity to raise his mood to the peak of excitement.
Despite his serious injuries, Quill refused to retreat to the rear for treatment, and despite Captain Steve's persuasions, his bloodied hands refused to loosen the bars of the bridge. The weary Maggie seemed to approve of her husband's approach, otherwise she would have glared at the green eyeballs and the rude fellow would have obeyed the order like a mouse to a cat. In desperation, Lu Huan was transferred to take care of Quill alone.
In terms of overall strength, Quill is probably the closest to Qi Lang among all the warriors of the human race, and only when he and Qi Lang are paired together, it is possible to withstand Badge's fierce attack in the middle of the long bridge, and his importance is self-evident. But now he was on the ground, and though he had repeatedly claimed that when the dawn came, he would be as upright as ever, and that his thunderous fury was just as powerful, but that was nothing more than wishful thinking on his part—Igro had already given his judgment that Quill had injured his bones and internal organs, and that he would certainly not be able to recover without two or three months of recuperation.
It was a diagnosis that Zilang didn't want to accept, because he needed Quill more than ever, but anyway, Zilang had to get Quill's problem out of the way - and if Igroul was right, he had to get out of the fight, because that defensive position was absolutely sloppy.
"How's Quill?" Qi Lang walked up to Maggie worriedly, and asked secretly behind Quill's back, "I don't have any doubts about his tenacious vitality, but he ...... Can you still fight?"
Maggie groaned for a moment, then shook her head regretfully.
"I can do it!" Quill shouted from behind, "Don't let that bastard boy look down on me, Maggie, if you don't believe me, I can rush to the other side of the river right now and bring you some ugly Buggy heads!"
Maggie frowned and shouted back in a louder voice, "All right, Quill, I know you're being strong, but now is not the time to be strong." I don't care if you die there, that's my pride, but what I care about is that if you die there, it will have a very negative impact on the whole situation!"
Quill's voice weakened, not because he had succumbed in front of Meggie, but because the injury in his chest did not allow for such a violent movement. Lu Huan stood there rubbing his forehead helplessly. "I'm afraid he won't even be able to beat me now. He reported to Qi Lang, "To be honest, if I don't get him out of here as soon as possible, I'm worried that he won't survive twenty-four hours." The conditions here are not good, and it is too easy to get infected. ”
"I'm not going anywhere!" Quill was still stiff-mouthed, "that position is mine, no one can replace me!"
Qi Lang took a deep breath and walked over to Quiel. "It's a bit embarrassing to say, Quill, but I'm still going to tell you," he said, "probably subconsciously, I've always thought of you as my idol. Yes, I did think you were a jerk and a brainless megalomaniac, but ever since I joined the Spirals, I've always wanted to be a warrior like you—brave, strong, and fearless. Now that I've done it, you should be able to tell that I'm not bragging. ”
Quill nodded reluctantly.
"Under your gaze, I have created miracles, and it is on the battlefield of the Dongmo Plain. Qi Lang clenched his fists at Quill, "And this time, I promise to create a miracle again, and that miracle, I want you to see with your own eyes - I hope you live to see that the Oriental cat in your mouth has become the greatest warrior in the world!"
Quill opened his mouth, as if he wanted to apologize, and seemed to want to protest, but Qi Lang didn't give him a chance to speak: "So, I beg you, give me this opportunity, give me your place, give up your place to the greatest warrior in the world, is it okay?"
From Qi Lang's eyes, Quill saw incomparable firmness and confidence, so he had no choice but to refuse, all he could do was wave his fist at Qi Lang: "Don't let me down, muddy boy, I will keep an eye on you." ”
Quill was finally carried down, and before leaving, he was still telling Maggie how to use the power of Ardis well, and it was estimated that even if he was tied to the seat next to Marcus, he would not recuperate properly. But Qi Lang fell into a deep thought: he knew that he would definitely not be able to take care of such a wide area on his own, and the big words had already been said, but how should he deal with tomorrow's battle?
At this moment, Wilson, the communications officer, came running quickly from the bamboo village in Sunset Town, and shouted with joy on his face: "Mr. Commander, we have a replacement for Quill, you must be satisfied!"
"Substitute?" Qi Lang turned his head and looked in the direction of Wilson's finger.
A tall, lanky figure walked out of the south entrance of the town, passing by the headquarters of the Whirling Force, causing a commotion in its path. Beside the figure were two short, fat fellows, who were jumping up and down, as if shouting something. Finally, the bonfire lit up his face—a handsome, kind, smiling face. (To be continued......)
