Chapter 328 Justice (I)
Fair City is over...
This is when Xiao Lang witnessed with his own eyes a guard who was struggling to resist the monster suddenly turned around and pounced on the guardians. My only thought at the time.
Screams and wailings became the main theme of this city. The situation that was still barely able to resist each other suddenly completely collapsed in front of nearly twice as many monsters out of thin air. Despair came so suddenly. So much so that most victims don't know what happened until the last second before they lose consciousness.
In fact, even those who are still alive don’t know what is going on. They flee blindly, cry blindly, struggle blindly, and pray blindly to those who no longer know themselves. The person calmed down, and finally fell blindly in a pool of red blood, twitching and died.
Only a few people with strength and high psychological quality remained calm, such as the old city lord Connelly who stood in front of the city hall and urged his guards to leave to defend the civilians while loudly maintaining order. This dwarf old man with the strength of an intermediate mage is deeply loved by people. His sharp soothing voice blessed by amplification magic really lifted the spirits of many people, as did the dozens of thorny stone walls rising from the ground. He stopped many mutants, and finally when his magic power was about to be exhausted, he summoned a dense patch of sand and thorns to protect the civilians behind him, while he was dragged away by the monsters from the dimmed magic gathering circle. Go out, there will be no corpse left.
The clergy of major churches are also fighting hard. The templars use long swords, steel shields and their own flesh and blood to buy time. Priests and priests send back batches of civilians who have no masters. The church strives to use its increasingly weak divine power to protect the living.
There are also many determined people who either rely on the nearest favorable terrain to fight to the death with monsters, or they struggle to escape from the city with their companions, friends, relatives or even strangers. He rushed over, but he didn't sit still and wait for death.
Little Wolf did not sit still and wait for death. After spending nearly a month without hope, this young man who was already much more mature than his peers has become more mature than most adults. Strong, he knew very well that fear and tears could not solve the problem, because half a month ago the God of Death did not return Aunt Peryl, who slept on the bed forever, to everyone. He knew better that despair and madness were meaningless, and hysterical struggle would only Use up precious energy.
So Xiaolang made a choice as quickly as possible after the disaster broke out. He first distanced himself from the noisy crowd, and then found a path that few people usually walk. Run to the West Parish of Fair City, which is where the Holy Union Chapel is located. It is also the densest church gathering place in the city. Although during this period, the major sects took in many civilians infected with the plague, if compared horizontally It should still be relatively safe.
Carefully hiding his figure and trying not to listen to the screams and howls that filled every inch of Fair City, the little wolf shuttled through the alleys as fast as possible, although in the process He still encountered two mutants wandering from nowhere, but the boy relied on his familiarity with the terrain and his dexterity like a loach to get rid of them, and successfully arrived at the West Parish ten minutes later. Then he plunged directly into the team of a certain Justice Sect, and then the previous scene happened.
Faced with the expected ‘disgust’ from this group of people, Xiaolang shook his head vigorously, with a look like ‘I’m just going to stay here and won’t leave’.
"I'll say it again, kid."
The tall orc paladin squatted in front of the little wolf and poked the latter's forehead with a gloomy look: "You don't like us, We don’t like you either, so we quickly found a reliable church to follow.”
This big guy’s name is Groy Divant, and he is one of the five resident paladins of Fair City’s Justice Sect. One, his biggest hobby is to go to various taverns with a bunch of henchmen (templar warriors of the Justice Sect) to eat on credit. Although as a clergyman, it is difficult to default on the debt, he can always pay the debt on the payday of each month. However, the bosses of those small-scale businesses never liked him. When he was in a hurry, it was common for him to throw a cup at him. Xiaolang occasionally did odd jobs such as serving dishes. I have dealt with him and had a very bad impression of him.
This guy is the one who has to summon his brothers to drive away more than a dozen wild beasts.
“Blow him away quickly, Groy.” The awl-faced tree elf priest stamped his feet anxiously, and said in a deep voice: “Now is not the time to play with little devils, we have serious business to attend to. Do it!"
Xiaolang rolled his eyes. He knew that this elf who was "anxious to get things done" had his biggest hobby in peeping into women's bathhouses, and every time he was caught, he would say "I'm in a hurry" Lord, I was just passing by on business.'
“Are you mute?”
The lizardman priest who once threw the wolf cub back from the city wall angrily patted the scripture and said angrily: “Get out of here! ”
But the young man shook his brown animal ears, shook his head and said: "No, I think it is safer to follow you."
The orc knight was very happy with him at that time, and asked with a funny face. Said: "Wolf cub, don't you usually look down on our fairness the most?" Have you taught it yet? Why do you think it’s safe to follow us cowards?”
“Speak for yourself and don’t get involved with me.” The elf priest rolled his eyes and took two steps back. A ray of red light lit up on his silver hammer: "Don't dawdle It’s a waste!”
Xiaolang sighed and shrugged at Groy with a bitter look on his face: “It’s just because you are cowards. Although I personally do prefer other churches, they are very I might fight to the death against those monsters to protect everyone. , I... I don’t want to die, so I want to follow you who won’t be burdened even if you apply oil on the soles of your feet or secretly find a cellar to hide in.”
“It’s so ugly to ask for help! The tone is still so harsh!”
The red scales on the lizard man's face turned white with anger. He pointed at the young man in front of him in embarrassment and said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that my brothers will just throw you to those monsters for extra food?!"
< br>Xiao Lang shrank his neck with a bitter look on his face: "You are also believers of gods, right? Even if you don’t lend a helping hand to someone who’s in trouble, it shouldn’t be a problem if you let us follow you, right? I’ll just follow you, okay?”
“Let’s go with other sects! They still have people nearby!"
Groi said angrily.
“I believe you (shameless), so please take me with you!”
It was the first time that Xiaolang spoke to the person in front of him with such a downcast expression, his body trembling with fear. No matter how smart and mature he was, he was still only a sixteen-year-old child.
At this moment, the elf priest suddenly turned around and shouted: "Groy!"
The orc paladin was stunned: "Huh?"
"You take the wolf cub back to the church."
"Stop joking, I..."
"Other sects have also retreated. It's too late to wait for the next batch. Do you want him to feed the monsters!?"
"Damn it." Groy gritted his teeth and pulled the little wolf off the ground. He stood up and put it on his shoulders, then shook his middle finger at the elf priest: "I will settle the score with you later!"
The priests of other justice sects around him suddenly laughed.
“Get out of here, get out of here~”
“I have no debt to settle with you.”
"Hahahaha, you look like an orangutan carrying the wolf cub!"
"See you later, buddy, uh, or let's just forget about it."
The little wolf was stunned. Watching this group of nervous paladins, templars, priests, and priests walking past Groy one by one, high-fiving him, and then walking away without looking back, he couldn't help but ask: "What does this mean?"
"It doesn't mean much." The last elf priest who high-fived Groy shook his head, and then asked the wolf sternly: "Kid, what if If you are very, very lucky to survive this time, will you be willing to join the Justice Sect that you trust so much?”
"What condition is this?"
"It's not a condition, it's just a simple question."
"Oh, I don't want to."
The young man answered seriously.
“So damn honest.”
The elf rolled his eyes, lit up the silver hammer in his hand again, took a deep look at his fellow paladin and left quickly.
"Where are they going?" Little Wolf struggled awkwardly on Groy's shoulder, frowning and asked: "Aren't you going together?"
The latter laughed dryly. He said: "We originally planned to go together, but now the plan has changed, boy, you Don't move around. If you want to survive, just shut up. Otherwise, I will really throw you out to feed the monsters. Believe it or not?"
The little wolf undoubtedly wants to survive, otherwise he wouldn't come to him. I usually look down on the Justice Sect the most, so I immediately shut up.
"Haha, that's right." Groy laughed, pulled out the broad-bladed sword behind him with his backhand, kicked off his feet fiercely, and jumped onto the low wall behind him. After moving, he moved away from the area that attracted more and more mutants, and rushed straight in a certain direction.
"Wow, it turns out this thing is really not a decoration..."
Xiaolang muttered in surprise. He had never seen the big sword behind Groy unsheathed before, so he kept He was very curious whether this thing was genuine or not, and whether there was actually just a sword hilt stuffed in the scabbard. That was why he was so surprised. On the contrary, Groy's keen skills did not surprise him at all. , this just paladin ran faster than this several times when being chased by the tavern owner.
Five minutes later, the two appeared in front of the Church of Justice a few blocks away. The orc paladin showed extraordinary acumen and intuition in the process, leading the little wolf to avoid it perfectly. After knocking off all the mutants along the way, the majestic-looking broad sword was unsheathed, but it had no effect other than making the boy sigh.
"Okay, you can pray now, kid."
Groy opened the church door carelessly, threw the little wolf on his shoulder inside, and then hugged himself The broad sword squatted on the steps and smiled: "Pray that you can survive this catastrophe and successfully escape from this ghost place."
"I thought you could take me out of the city." Xiaolang rubbed his butt and climbed up, walked to sit next to the former, held his chin and sighed: "Is it really safe to stay here..."
Groy shook his head and glanced at the young man beside him: "At least there is the protection of my Lord's divine power here. Although this divine power has been so thin that it is almost nonexistent, it is at least better than mindlessly heading towards the city gate. "It's much stronger."
"Where are the other people in the church?" Xiaolang curled his lips and continued to ask: "I remember that although there are not many clergy in your Justice Sect, there should be dozens. Personally?"
"Oh, God knows where they are fooling around!"
The little wolf's eyes widened in surprise, but before he could continue, a strange gurgling sound suddenly sounded from his belly.
Feeling the young man's probing gaze, Groy shook his head angrily: "There is not much food left. I will naturally give it to you when it's time. Just bear with it for now. In the prayer room There’s water, please.”
“I don’t want to drink water.”
“Well, I actually have two bottles of wine hidden, just...”
"Please allow me to refuse."
...
The time of being hungry and cold was slow and unbearable, and the mental torture caused by fear, hesitation, and shouting (crossed out) made the little wolf even more exhausted. I don’t know how long it took, but I saw countless After the mutants cowardly escaped under the protection of the light red divine power of the Church of Justice, the tight nerves in the young man's mind finally relaxed, and then It just went dark...
"Have you really reached your limit? This annoying kid is really..."
This was the faint whisper heard by the little wolf before he fell asleep. , but because the person who spoke was Groy, it must not be a good thing. The confused boy made the above judgment, and then quickly lost consciousness.
……
The little wolf was so exhausted that he slept until midnight. He was thrown into the prayer room at an unknown time and wolfed down the two pieces of black bread that were also thrown in at an unknown time. Then he hurried to the prayer room. At the door of the church, no trace of the orc paladin was found. However, the monsters on the street were much denser than before, and some of them were stained with large amounts of blood. This scene almost instantly made people doubt whether they were just doing this. The boy who had a nightmare was brought back to reality.
After enjoying a moment of peace, the reality in front of me is cruel and outrageous...
"Hey, good evening, little wolf cub, are you crying?"
< br>Rough laughter sounded from behind, Xiao The wolf looked back subconsciously and found that the orc paladin, who had been missing before, was standing behind him with a smile and a wine bottle in his hand: "Want some?"
Secretly relieved. The young man naturally refused without hesitation.
"That's right." Groy nodded, poured the rest of the wine in the bottle onto the ground, and said with a smile, "It's such a waste to give it to a kid like you."
"You just pour the wine on the floor so it won't be wasted?"
"Of course~"
