Chapter 248: Rupture
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his reasoning was close to the truth, and the idea of a flash of inspiration was more and more able to withstand scrutiny after rigorous reasoning.
But have there been any large-scale mercenary missions lately? There is so little information that there is no way to continue reasoning. Kylelius smacked his lips a little unpleasantly, he had already thought of the key point, but because there was no intelligence to support it, there was no way to proceed, and this situation was the most uncomfortable.
'Would you like to go to the Elfman Church and ask?' Kellius asked for help, but was immediately denied by himself.
No, the Elfman Church is not credible, and it is likely that they have already fallen to the side of the red robes, at least some of the important members have fallen to that side. Otherwise, it would be impossible to make such a large-scale action in a short period of time, and once too many corpses were found at one time, they would be covered with mouths and unable to tell what they were used for. ’
Kyrlius continues to expand the suspicion of the Elfman Church: "And most importantly, the approval of the mercenaries' adventure missions is also very strict. Like the kind of mission that doesn't know what to transport, and has the same task more than a dozen or dozens of times in a row, it must be strictly inspected on the spot. And these corpses can not be found, obviously they are also in the Elfman Church, and their position is not low. ’
"So in the end, it's back to square one, what are the relatively large and frequent transport and escort missions in the last year...... ' Just as Kylelius was thinking about the few clues, suddenly a voice in the distance interrupted his train of thought.
"That's Big Brother. That's our big brother, brother. Daphany screamed emotionally. It can be seen that her eldest brother, who has been missing for decades, has a special place in her heart.
"He's not our brother anymore, our brother is long dead, just a dead body manipulated by magic or otherwise. Wake up, Daphany, this is the reality!" cried out to Daphany with tears in his eyes, holding back his grief.
Daphine: "No, there must be a way to save Big Brother, we just need to catch him." There must be a way to get him back to the way he was. ”
Keirlius, who was very hearing, could hear the argument that broke out between the two of them. He looked around at Rick and the others, who couldn't hear the specific content clearly, and turned their attention to them, while the zombies were about to rush into the danger range, and they were a little anxious.
He knew that if the current situation was to go, the zombies were engaged with a convoy that did not have any effective command. Then even a battle that could have been won after knowing the enemy's weaknesses. There will also be a fiasco because there is no command or command confusion.
Come to think of it. Kyrlius was determined not to let their quarrel affect the overall situation. In his heart, in fact, he also agreed with the earl, so his next move could be predicted. He snatched a bow and arrow from the soldier. Draw your arrows and aim them.
Although he had no professional training, with his superhuman vision and physical fitness, he was able to pierce the earl's brother's head with an arrow without accident.
With a violent cracking sound, the arrows of magic pierced the count's brother's head and carried its body to the ground, and with an unreal muffled sound, he fell to the ground with the dust raised.
Looking at the aristocratic zombies on the ground who were still reflexively twitching their bodies from time to time, Daphany let out a scream like a desperate person in hell, and the screams of sadness and despair were accompanied by pain and shock, resounding in this silent tower.
Expressionlessly, Kylelius lowered his bow and arrow, nodded at the Count who was looking on the other side, and then avoided his gaze as if he were a stranger, or rather, the hateful gaze from the Ladyess.
After the priest realized that the arrow just now, the relationship between himself and Dafanie and the Count was not the same as before.
Needless to say, Dafanie knew how she had just treated her big brother. Even if he is just a zombie without any autonomous consciousness now, Daphany can only be full of hatred for the priest who killed him, and sometimes people who are immersed in an emotion are so unreasonable.
And the Count's side is not much better, although he is more rational than Dafanie, but for Kyleus, who 'killed' his own brother in front of him, it is impossible to say that he has no knot in his heart.
And this small knot in the heart will also give birth to huge fruits in the future, full of negative fruits. Kyrlius didn't like to be an ally with a time bomb that could hurt him at any time, and his relatives were even less likely.
At this moment, the relationship between Kyrlius and the Stelle family came to an end. Since then, except for Lycia, there has been no intersection between the two. And the only intersection was also embraced by Kyleus, and there was no contact with it strictly speaking.
In this way, in an eerie silence, the guards led by the Count and the zombies outside the city began to fight. The zombies, who have no pain or muscle strength, choose a different method than ordinary siege troops, and they directly attack the gates that usually seem the most difficult to breach.
We all know that human beings are creatures because of their skeletal capacity and skeletal muscles, so usually even after training, human beings can only exert 20 to 30 percent of the strength of their whole body.
The human brain is in the subconscious protection of itself, so it has always controlled the muscle strength of human beings. This is a sign of human intelligence, but it is also a sign of human weakness.
But after becoming zombies, they don't have this limitation, and their super recovery ability allows their brains, which have almost no brain capacity, to remove the restrictions on their own muscles, so that they can exert several times or even dozens of times the strength of normal humans even without training.
And this strength also gave them a stronger weapon against the city gates, and one group after another of zombies slammed into the city gates over and over again with crude battering rams without any waves.
Seeing this scene, the earl and the others in the city were very shocked and nervous, they had never encountered such a siege method. And because the enemy is not afraid of death and is extremely resilient, they simply have no effective measures to resist the zombies who possess the monster power.
This is the most suitable way for them to siege the city, but it is the last thing they want to see for Kylelius and the others.
"Everyone follow me down the castle tower, ready to teach these monsters a hard lesson at the city gate, all the captains have sorted out their troops and come with me!" The fifty-year-old earl seemed to have returned to the battlefield full of gunpowder at this moment, and his long-lost blood and pride made him burst out with great strength.
Kyrlius looked at the crumbling gates, and the unsuspecting count and the others, looking very worried. You must know that the zombies of the Dao Dao generally have a strong ability to infect, even if it is a small wound, it is very likely to reduce the number of combatants here and increase the number of enemies.
And what would happen if they were allowed to enter a town full of ordinary people with impunity, and Keellius himself knew better than anyone that it was only a matter of time before it became a ghost town.
'No, I'm going to find a way to minimize the damage here. Otherwise, even if the reinforcements from the Knights, Mercenary Regiment, and Brotherhood come here, it will be difficult to reverse the situation here, and when the time comes, let alone catch the murderer of Lycia, it will be difficult to evacuate all of them safely. Thinking so, Kylelius was frowning and thinking of a solution.
At this moment, Bellamy, who was behind the priest, suddenly spoke up and interrupted the priest's thoughts. Awakened by the words, Kylelius turned his head to look behind him, looking at his somewhat familiar expression, vaguely sensing something.
The priest looked at the complicated expression on his face at this time, and felt extremely similar to Daphany and the others just now, all of them were mixed with anger and shock, obviously finding a guy he knew in the zombie group.
Sure enough, Bellamy, who saw the priest turn his head, said in a heavy tone: "Lord Keleus, ...... over there" said and pointed to a tall zombie in the distance with his hand, his green skin and fangs protruding from his lips all showed that he was different...... It's an orc.
Kylelius looked closely and saw that it was an acquaintance, Bellamy's acquaintance, to be exact. The orc was the orc captain of Bellamy's original adventure team: "I remember it was called ...... Volwaki?"The priest's inability to remember names has flares up again.
"It's Giravoji, Father Priest. Bellamy said with a black line on his face.
"Oh. Kylelius casually agreed, and the orc wasn't an important figure in his eyes anyway.
He looked at the orcs dressed as Captain Zombies, and then at Bellamy, and suddenly thought of his reasoning, and at the same time remembered the conversation between the Captain Orc and Bellamy that he had heard in the hall of 'Hawkins'.
Isn't Bellamy's serial mission from half a year ago very much in line with my reasoning? It seems that the task they are doing is the task of transporting these zombie raw materials, so it makes sense. ’
There was finally a breakthrough, and even Kylelius was a little excited in his heart, and he was one step closer to the truth.
Then he began to think further, and there were still many questions that needed to be answered: "Since you know this, then there must be a force here that can respond to them." But I still don't know how they were transported. (To be continued......)
