Nightfall: Puppet Arc
The sun sets, and night falls.
"How so...... I don't want to die yet......"
Wang Wei couldn't figure it out, didn't he join the city defenders just to be a knight, and he could be a little nobleman in the future, and there had been no war in recent years, and he maintained law and order at most on weekdays and caught criminals, so why did he suddenly fight with the royal family, but the command of the city defenders was in the Nuo family, and he was charged with rebellion, so the ship couldn't get off at all.
It would be good if he could win the battle, but just now, the spirit mage directly announced the death date of their 50,000 people, and with the inexplicable deaths of his companions one after another, there was no luck left in the end.
Maybe the next one is yourself?
He sat in the tent, staring at the spear in his hand, not sleepy, and from time to time there were screams outside, each time his heart tightened.
What the hell are you waiting for?
Waiting to die?
Time passed minute by minute, he had seen his miserable death in a trance, the cold sweat had soaked through his clothes, his palms were so slippery that he could barely grasp the spear, and his heart became more and more irritable, but he was just a spiritual martial artist, and he was completely helpless in the face of such a strange spell.
He didn't know the blonde-haired spirit mage, but he knew Wang Ke, the head of the spirit mage group who was as famous as Fang Ye, the leader of the city defense army, and since it was his curse, he didn't have to expect the spirit mage under his command to be able to unravel it.
Wang Wei looked at the other people in front of him and asked, "Is it possible that we just do this and wait?
Since no one can unravel the spell, what else can you do but wait for death?
Except for a slightly older captain Ren Fei in the hood, the other four people were all young men as young as Wang Wei, and everyone's face was covered with gray patterns, which was very weird under the reflection of the bonfire.
"What do you want to say!? Do you also want to learn from Wang Ke for betraying the Nuo family? If you say this, I can kill you on the spot, do you know?" Ren Fei asked sharply.
"Team Ren, don't be angry first, listen to me first, that person said, after seven o'clock tomorrow morning, if you don't do anything, the defenders will all have to die, more than six hundred brothers have died so far, who knows if the next one is you or me, there is no need to doubt this, to put it bluntly, even if you don't kill me, maybe I will die in two hours, I am not afraid of sacrifice, but this way of dying, it is too embarrassing, just sit here and wait for death, are you willing?"
Wang Wei said what the other four people thought in their hearts, the five of them were not so loyal to the Nuo family, they just wanted to be a little noble, if they really wanted to sacrifice their lives, then they would have a good reputation, now they are accused of rebellion, what is it to wait for death in the tent?
After hearing this, Ren Fei sneered and put the knife on Wang Wei's neck, "Even people like you still want to be a knight, do you have half a sense of honor? Do you dare to sacrifice? You can't bear anything, in the face of death, you will only wag your tail at the enemy like a lost dog and beg for mercy......"
Puff......
Ren Fei looked at the half of the spear body on his chest in disbelief, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but foam with blood, and he couldn't say any more.
"Team Ren, I think what Wang Wei said is right, Lord Nolan was arrested, Fang Ye didn't know where to go, Wang Ke betrayed again, what are we sacrificing for? The young master in the Castle of Wind Breath or your unreasonable loyalty? No, if we sit here and wait for death, there is no bravery, no loyalty, no honor at all, just stupidity, so, please take your honor to hell, maybe we will accompany you in the next second." ”
The spear was pulled out, Ren Fei's eyes widened, and he collapsed in a pool of blood, he never expected that these people would dare to do it to him, where would they react.
"What are you doing!?"
Wang Wei didn't react for a while, he originally planned to persuade Ren Fei, no matter what, he was his captain and got along for a year or two.
"What, do you want to be heard? A man like him, who only knows what chivalry to abide by, where does it matter if we live and die, why bother talking nonsense with him, and kill him directly, as if he died of a spell, to hell with his honor, I don't want to sit here and wait for death. Ai Lan sneered and wiped the blood from the spear with Ren Fei's clothes.
"There are so many people like him that we can kill one of them with just five of us, and can we kill a hundred or a thousand? ”
Wang Wei also calmed down, what Ai Lan said was right, maybe he would die in the next second, there was no point in continuing to sit here, and sacrifice should not be such a sacrifice.
"You have forgotten the fact that although there are many stupid people like him, there are more people who are afraid of death, they are waiting to die under the shackles of the so-called oath, and it is necessary for people like you and me to stand up, as long as there is the first, there will be a second, as for Master Rook, why would he sacrifice a whole 50,000 of us for one person, if he didn't know the times, he would kill him, it's very simple, isn't it?" Ai Lan smiled and pointed to Ren Fei who was lying on the ground.
"It's easy...... Wang Wei muttered.
The Castle of Wind's Breath in the night, filled with the breath of slaughter, those screams I don't know how many died from spells, and how many died under spears and swords, in order to live, what is so difficult to kill, death is coming, who cares about oath and honor, to hell with it!
Inside the Storm's Rest.
"In the autumn year, have you heard, there seems to be a cry outside, and it has been uninterrupted since the afternoon. ”
Mo Ling'er put down the unwashed vegetables in her hand, she instinctively felt the abnormality of the atmosphere, but she couldn't tell what the problem was, she just felt as if a stone was pressing on her chest, and she was a little out of breath.
Mo Qiunian nodded and said, "It seems that there is a cry, but it is too light, will it be a bird or a cat or a dog, it should be fine, didn't I hear what Master Luke said just now, he saw the Iron Guards withdraw from a distance upstairs, could it be that they took advantage of the night to kill a horse pistol, but if this is the case, the movement will not be so small." ”
"I hope I'm thinking too much...... In the autumn, you have been sitting for a long time, can't you come over to help? You should also learn how to cook!"
The servants and maids in the Castle of Storm's Breath are all gone, only Master Luke is left, and he promises to be a big young master, and he can't work himself, he just woke up today, and it is difficult to get out of bed and walk, these days it is all Mo Ling'er and Rose who are helping, what cooking, washing, and cleaning all fall on their heads.
"Don't...... Sister, if I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to know how to cook, aren't you all cooking for Teacher Rose these days?" Mo Qiunian didn't mean to stand up at all, as if he was glued to the chair.
"I don't know how to cook!? You forgot that once my mother had a fever for several days, and my father was not at home, I cooked once, didn't you say it was delicious?" Mo Ling'er stared at Mo Qiunian suspiciously.
"Uh...... Yes, it's delicious, I remember badly, it's been too long, and I accidentally forgot it. ”
Mo Qiunian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, how could he forget, it was the most difficult few days of his life, if a pot of turbid unknown objects can also be called vegetables, Mo Ling'er can indeed be regarded as a cook, he still tasted it without believing in evil, and he couldn't get rid of the weird taste in his mouth after rinsing his mouth for half an hour.
After cooking, she went out to buy medicine for her mother, Mo Qiunian secretly poured out the food that might poison people, and then went to another house to eat, every time Mo Ling'er went home, he was satisfied and said that it was delicious, and he didn't give her any leftovers after eating, and in the next few days, he found different excuses and pulled Mo Ling'er to eat outside.
"That's it, hurry up and come over to help, what are you doing sitting, aren't you hungry?" Mo Ling'er rolled her eyes, turned around and continued to wash the vegetables.
"Sister, why don't I call Master Luke to do it, I just woke up today, my injury hasn't healed yet, and I definitely need nutrition, but we'll only cook normal meals, which is definitely not enough. Mo Qiunian found a very reluctant reason to convince Mo Ling'er, but unfortunately, he underestimated Mo Ling'er's enthusiasm for cooking.
"No, no, Master Rook still has to take care of the promise, just leave this little thing to me, after all, I live here now, I can't help with anything else, I don't have any problems with cooking a meal, isn't it nutrition, leave it to me, you can also help, it will definitely work!"
"My God......"
Mo Qiunian stroked his forehead, and couldn't help but miss the food in Jasmine's restaurant, but unfortunately he couldn't go back to Lingwan now, first, the other party had already targeted them, and then returning to Lingwan was tantamount to throwing himself into the net, it was better to stay in Fengxi Castle, and secondly, Mo Ling'er decided to investigate to the end and find out all the other party, it must be difficult to do it with her own people alone, and she could only rely on the power of the Nuo family.
"What did you say?" Mo Ling'er asked casually.
"Nothing...... That sister, I'll go out a little bit beforehand, and I'll come back to help later. Mo Qiunian felt that it was necessary for him to go out and remind Promise and Master Rook, otherwise it was very likely that someone would die.
"Is there anything you can't tell me? Forget it, I'm too lazy to know, come back early, Sister Rose is not here, I may not be able to do it alone." Mo Ling'er waved at him with disgust.
Only Promise sat alone in the main hall, it seemed empty, and the flames in the fireplace could not dispel this cold silence, and the withdrawal of the Iron Guard made him a little confused, worried that the other party would take advantage of the night to kill a horse gun, and the next step of the original plan could only be temporarily put on hold.
"Eh, are you alone? Master Luke is out?" Mo Qiunian was not polite, pulled a chair and sat next to Promise.
"Hmm. ”
Promise nodded absentmindedly, still frowning, couldn't guess what the queen was thinking, which made him very uneasy, there must be a problem with the Iron Guard's evacuation at this time, Master Rook discussed it with him, and decided to hold the troops for the time being, his father was still in prison, Fang Ye died again, and now only Master Rook can command the defenders.
