The Rainstorm is coming: The Abyss Arc
"You're a smart person, then you should know, what I can treat as if it didn't happen, what will touch my bottom line, if you really have the heart to help me, then it's better not to have a next time, understand?"
Genos's approach may be able to hide from Yoren and deceive Colin and others, but it is still a little worse to deceive Brandon, this time Brandon did not pursue it too much, but only warned him verbally, although Genos's approach is inhumane, but it is indeed the best choice, as for the other reason, it is because of Heran.
Genos nodded, he didn't try to justify or refute, although the contact was not long, he could see that Brandon was not a person who liked to listen to people's quibbles, and since he had spoken, he just had to admit it.
After leaving a mark and informing several other squads, Brandon did not linger any longer, and returned along the same path with Genos and the others, Moyo walked for about thirty minutes, and at the fourth fork in the road Brandon paused slightly, the strong smell of blood in the forest on the left made him frown slightly, but he didn't plan to take a look, he glanced at the dark forest from a distance, and left to the right.
Suddenly, several lightning bolts crossed the sky, like a spider web cutting the black cloud into countless pieces, a thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth, a dazzling electric snake bit the black cloud tree in an instant, the black cloud tree with a thickness of half a meter was split into two parts, and the raging fire immediately engulfed it, under the reflection of the firelight, there were only a few broken bones and bloodstains, and not far away was the armor of the border keeper who was taken off.
......
As Brandon's personal affairs officer, Herlan had his own separate room, and he didn't have to endure the noise of a lot of people, if it was usual, he would definitely not go to bed so early, maybe he would take some time to write a diary, maybe he would walk along the Great Wall for a long time, but today he lay down early.
Helan's eyes widened, he kept staring at the oil lamp on the table, as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind would think of the hellish scene not long ago, he would think of the person who was stabbed to death by himself with his sword, even if his hands were almost peeling, but the smell of blood always lingered, he could still feel the slippery and warm palms of his hands, and gradually even the oil lamps in front of him turned pale red......
Of course, he knew that all this was his own psychological effect, and it was just an illusion, but he just couldn't accept the fact that he had killed someone......
Even if he wrapped his whole body tightly with the quilt, his body was still trembling uncontrollably, even if he kept telling himself that it was over, just as if nothing had happened, and tomorrow would be fine, but there was always another voice in his heart telling him, if you kill someone, you will go to hell.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew out the oil lamp through the crack in the window, and the moonlight passed through the window grille, weaving into a huge net, pressing Helan heavily underneath, Helan closed his eyes, and the sound of wheezing lingered in his ears.
......
Dick took the only half bottle of wine and walked slowly on the Great Wall, a habit he had developed over the years, whether he couldn't sleep or was upset, he would bring wine and take a walk alone, as the leader of the Winter City Rangers, naturally no one could control him.
"Ah...... Master Dick, haven't you rested yet?"
Daniel saw Dick walking towards him, his face was a little unnatural, after all, the three people in the shadows behind him were already sleeping like dead people, he tried to wake them up, but the rhythmic snoring still did not stop, Daniel's anxious back was full of cold sweat, usually Dick would go for a walk around the Black Forest, why did he come to check the post today?
"Daniel, am I drinking too much and hallucinating, how can there be a pig crying on the Great Wall? What the hell do you think this sound is?"
Dick drank the last sip of his wine and threw the bottle down the Wall, and he staggered over to Daniel, reaching out and patting the Border Keeper on the shoulder, dusting him off with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Uh...... I guess it's the wind, you may have heard it wrong. ”
Daniel had a hint of luck in his heart, and the shadows and flags around the corner completely covered their bodies, and it was hard to notice that there were three people sleeping behind him unless Dick dragged him away.
"The wind, then the wind is a bit too loud, I've seen that there may be a rainstorm, you say yes, okay, get out of the way." ”
Dick couldn't help but pull Daniel away, lifted the flag, and kicked Clary on the shoulder, and the three people who were originally sitting on the ground fell to the right side in unison, and Harlem, who was sleeping in the innermost, hit his head on the city wall, and was immediately frightened and jumped up.
"What are you doing!?"
Haring obviously hadn't woken up yet, and took Dick for Daniel, he didn't even look at who was standing in front of him, he grabbed Dick's collar and punched him in the face, but Zhengxiang, who was obviously sleeping, was woken up, and everyone would lose his temper, and he was no exception.
“......”
Daniel was stunned as he watched everything that happened in front of him, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he had already begun to pray for Harlem in his heart, except for the group of newcomers who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, except for the group of newcomers who didn't know the height of the sky, I am afraid that the only one in Winter City was Brandon, and he was finished.
"Di ...... Advance...... Master Dick...... How...... How could it be you...... I ......"
When Haring saw who he was fighting, he came out in a cold sweat, and he was still a little sleepy, but now he woke up completely, maybe he was too scared, he couldn't even speak, and he forgot to let go for a while.
"It's not a lot of strength, but it made me sober up, what, do you want to punch me a few more times?"
Dick was rarely not angry, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Haring with a frightened face expressionlessly, lazy to sleep while standing guard, this kind of thing is too commonplace, he and Brandon were also habitual offenders before, and they were punished for this.
"Mistress Dick....... ”
Crowley tried to intercede for Haring, and he had been friends for so many years, but he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth, a mistake was a mistake, and there was nothing to justify,
The wind was howling, the moonlight was dim, the shadows of the five of them were gradually engulfed by greater shadows, the banner of the Void City was hunting in the wind, Dick was about to say something, but somehow, his heart suddenly felt a little uneasy, he turned to look in the direction of the Black Forest, he didn't speak, Daniel and the others naturally didn't dare to speak, the deathly silence, only heard the wind, and Harlem's mood sank to the bottom.
A moment later. A little light like a firefly rose in the dark night, and then scattered, Dick's face changed slightly, this is Colin's signal arrow, usually used in the early hours of the morning when the team closes, but now it is not even midnight, that can only mean that Brandon is in trouble and has to close the team immediately.
"Daniel, ring the alarm bells, what are you doing in a daze? Go, you guys go and call them all up, Brandon is in trouble!"
Dick gave the order resolutely, and then walked away quickly with a gloomy face, leaving only Daniel and the others looking at each other, a little unclear, but they did not dare to disobey Dick's order, the deacon was not there, and the entire Winter City was Dick's decision.
In a few moments, torches were lit everywhere in the entire Winter City, the bells echoed endlessly, and more than two hundred Border Guards gathered, although the number was small, but they were all experienced and experienced old Rangers, even if they were already asleep, they would immediately get up from their beds, put on their armor, take their blades, and be ready to fight at any time, for many Rangers, Winter City had already become their second home, just like Dick.
Helan couldn't sleep at all, he suddenly heard a bell ringing, and immediately got up from the bed, as an officer, he knew very well what it meant to ring the alarm bell, although his mood was still not calm, but now he couldn't care so much, he immediately got dressed and walked out of the house, but when he was about to go out, he stopped, turned and walked back to the bedside, and took the steel sword that Dick had given him, but had never used.
The wind grew stronger, the cobweb-like lightning tore through the night sky, and the bean-sized rain fell with the wind, falling on the cold armor and falling on the sharp blade of the sword, Dick pulled his long wet hair back to his head, wiped the rain from his face, and swept his gaze, just in time to catch a glimpse of Herlan in the crowd and the sword in his hand.
"Affairs Officer Helan, you are in charge of staying in Winter City, during my absence, Winter City is under your full responsibility, do you understand?"
Although Dick's voice was not loud, Helan heard it clearly, he looked up and happened to meet Dick's gaze, Helan exhaled deeply, wiped the rain from his face, raised the steel sword in his hand at Dick, and said loudly, "Understood." ”
"Harlem leads the first team, Crowley leads the second team, I lead the third team, follow me to the Black Forest to pick up Brandon, if there is any danger, use signal arrows, I will arrive as soon as possible, if I find someone, I will also use signal arrows to inform the teams, go. ”
No one asked what was going on, and there was no impassioned speech, only a long-standing tacit understanding and trust in Dick, and more than two hundred rangers lined up in an orderly manner and marched towards the Black Forest under Dick's leadership.
Heran looked at Dick's distant figure gradually disappearing into the night, he tightened the steel sword in his hand, and then said to the remaining rangers, "Close the city gate, you guys go up to the Wind Tower, once you find anything unusual, you must notify me immediately, you guys shut the city gate, unless it's Lord Dick or Lord Brandon, don't open the door, and the rest of you bring bows and crossbows to follow me up to the tower!"
......
Joy, anger and sorrow can not be expressed, its expression is like sealed by wax stone, it can't remember who it is, let alone who this broken body is, but these are not important, two hundred and eighty-three people, even in the dark and cold rainy night, it is still so bright and dazzling, it longs for blood, longs for spiritual power, there seems to be a voice in its head that is constantly urging it, eat them all!
