Chapter 306 Succession
621
The evening wind in the Amanda Mountains continuously blows the snowflakes on the top of the mountain. In the past, you can still hear the sound of ascetic monks reciting scriptures and singing hymns, but tonight, with the sound of the wind, only the sound of artillery can be heard. .

Vincent looked at the child who was sleeping peacefully in the hands of a stranger, and wanted to find some shadows of his two old friends from it, but after looking at it, he felt that this child was a bit like hers except that he was very nervous. Apart from the mother, other more appearance features can't be seen.

"Her mother is a Extraordinary of the church, and her father is the town recorder."

"When they got married, I sat in the front row. They used to say that when the child was baptized, I was the godfather..."

The nervous laughter gradually stopped, and the human memory came back bit by bit. Vincent's arched back slowly stood up straight, but the thick and short wolf hair on his face did not fade away.

Vincent reached out, covered the scarf back, and looked at Edward seriously.

"I don't need your help."

"At the same time, I will not help you."

Edward blinked, smiling politely with a trace of confusion: "Why? Your mission can be over, and you have also protected the person you want to protect. It is reasonable for you to go back and rest."

"No reason."

Vincent looked at Edward: "Because you are a devil, isn't it natural that you don't make deals with devils?"

Crash.As if broken by glass, Vincent raised his head, his ferocious front paws drew deep marks on the ground.

He didn't turn back into a human, and the little bit of human will was quickly swallowed up by crazy instincts. He still had this half-wolf, half-human terrifying appearance, a huge shadow shrouded the demon, and his deformed one The teeth are about the size of a baby in swaddling.

"I don't need your help, demon!"

The human who used to be Vincent looked at the dirty red cloth strips wrapped around his front paws, his eyes filled with madness showed some struggle and human emotions again.The completely mutated vocal cords could no longer speak human language, so he snarled fiercely at Edward twice, so powerful that the wind made Edward's clothes flutter, and his hat almost flew away.

But he woke up the sleeping baby. The child waved his little fist angrily, opened his eyes to see the culprit who woke her up, and then burst into tears without understanding the atmosphere.I don't know if it was smoked by the smell of the demon wolf, or scared by the appearance of the demon wolf.

The demon wolf glanced at the child, turned around and left without looking back.

It's time to go.

Finally, hold on one last time and remember some good things.

The residue of a human being named Vincent made a tear drop from the corner of the monster's eye, which was blown dry in an instant.

Snowflakes fell along the way, covering Edward's hat and shoulders with a thin layer of snow. He perfunctorily coaxed the little girl who was still crying and trying to grab his hair, and then used his free hand The snowflakes and dust were patted off the clothes.

"...Really, I thought that after becoming a god, my eloquence would actually decline."

Edward smiled and sighed, and walked forward along the messy wolf paw prints. Vincent's goal was the town where the Archbishop and the Saint Feysac fought, and Edward was also interested in going to see it, as a witness to this An excellent red glove ending.

Well, it must be the end.

"There are not many people who can directly reject me. For this alone, your adoptive father is worthy of praise." Edward said to the little girl, "You must not be like your adoptive father in the future, who has too high a sense of morality but is not strong enough. People, you will suffer a lot in the future."

The little baby who had just finished crying looked at him with tears on his face, and reached out to grab the fluff on Edward's collar.

……

The singing roar gradually disappeared with the wind, and no spirit bodies and spiritual creatures were summoned anymore.

Only the blazing flames are still burning quietly in the ruins, and the starry night sky is slowly dissipating, revealing the real sky covered with clouds. The light of the red moon faintly sprinkles from the clouds, and the whole land seems to be soaked in blood. So bright red.

The giant demon hunter didn't dare to be careless. He had already personally experienced the power and obsession of this hostile saint. Those wounds that healed faster and faster showed that Arnold's state was gradually declining.His solid arm, like a blue-black stone, firmly stuck the giant wolf's throat, forcibly withstood countless waves of crazy dreams and the bombardment of doom, and was slightly better than the wrestling among mythical creatures.

The two huge mythical creatures confronted each other for a long time like real sculptures. This scene was like a portrayal of mythology, but no audience dared to open their eyes to witness it.

Finally, there was no longer a heartbeat from the giant wolf's chest, and this demonic wolf, whose vitality was beyond imagination, finally lost to him.

After another full 20 seconds, Arnold was stuck at the limit of entering a "dangerous state" and released the mythical creature form. His body gradually shrank, and all kinds of mysteries that could not be seen directly were hidden under the skin again, and the huge vertical eyes also disappeared. Separated again, it became a normal human eye.He stood up, walked a few steps uncomfortably, and then looked at the huge corpse lying beside him.

The old demon wolf fell to the ground, its body shrunk a little, as if it was going to transform from a mythical creature back into a human being, but because the body was completely out of control, it was frozen at a certain stage between humans and demon wolves.

"call……"

Arnold finally relaxed. He half-kneeled on the ground, and used his own blood to draw a simple holy emblem of the Church of Evernight on the wolf's body.

"Brave warrior, may your spirit ascend to the starry heavens."

He simply sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and thought about his next move.

Fanxing Town has been completely destroyed, and it is impossible to build any useful fortifications. Such a big movement will definitely attract the attention of the Church of Evernight headquarters. After this gap is noticed, it is possible to attack through these small gaps It is difficult.

We have to strike while the iron is hot, and move forward quickly...

After resting for a few minutes, Arnold stood up again, and the dead demon wolf beside him had already begun to precipitate extraordinary characteristics, and many starlight-like substances gathered somewhere beside it, gradually converging into a peaceful thing.

Arnold didn't care about his booty for the time being, he turned his head sideways, waiting for the automatic repair of his ears.

In the battle with the crazy mythical creature, he pierced his eardrum, preventing the singing from affecting him to the greatest extent.

Unknowingly, he heard the sound of howling wind and snow again. This sound was somewhat similar to the snow field in the north of the Feysac Empire, but it was much softer—he listened intently for a while, then suddenly frowned and suddenly Looking down the mountain to the southwest.

I saw a long steam train passing by the rails below. There was a faint warm yellow light in the carriage, and yellow and white mist spewed out from the chimney at the front of the train. Snake going away.

Arnold turned his head subconsciously and looked at the open space outside the city where the airship made an emergency landing.

The hunters, who were shaken by the battle of the demigods, are reorganizing their formation. As long as the airship rises again, they can immediately notice the fleeing steam train below.

Want to get started?

Arnold turned his head hesitantly, looking at the corpse of the demon wolf lying on the ground.

When the Feysac Empire did not have enough resources to feed all its citizens, struggles between tribes in cities and distant plains were very common, and tribes also welcomed battles, because stronger leaders and soldiers could lead more people to live. go down.At the same time, the victorious tribe should also generously accept the people of the defeated tribe as its own people.

Killing - killing them all is also okay, which was understandable hundreds of years ago, but such a tribe and his leader will not last long, and people will join forces to bring them down.

This is the source of the Fusac people's warlike and united tradition. In a relatively harsh environment, only a broad-minded leader can make the tribe continue to expand, and can let everyone's strength go to one place, so that more people survive.

As a tribute to a respectable warrior, Arnold is in favor of letting go of the people protected by Galian, but now his hands are pinned down, and he can't lift any of them. He even made a gesture subconsciously. Sword action.

If these people returned to a safe place alive, they would definitely convey what the Feysacs did in the Amanda Mountains.

Although Arnold didn't know how much they knew about the war, and didn't know that they didn't know how dangerous the situation was, and didn't care about some public opinion brought about by the war, he instinctively felt that these people should not be released, otherwise it would be a disaster for the country. influence the church.

But he also sincerely respected the dead pagan saints, and the unique pride of warriors was mixed with military, so he hesitated for a while.

"... Raise the airship again!"

After the silence, Arnold shouted orders to the hunter team in the distance.

He didn't hear the reply from the hunters, but he saw the hunters dancing in place to indicate that they had heard the order, and quickly lined up back to the airship. Soon, the balloons began to fill, and the weather-beaten propellers began to rotate again.

After shouting this sentence, Arnold sighed long, looking extremely tired.

He sat down on the ground a little slumped, the cold snow wind blowing over his cheeks, his cheeks and back were hot with guilt.

I have already participated in the war, and I have come to this point, and there is no way to turn back, isn't it?

It's just that the dignity and pride of a warrior made him feel ashamed to face the dead pagan saint. When he turned his head to look, the dark blue eyes of the dead demon wolf were staring at him fiercely as if they were suffocated and widened.

He was immersed in his own thoughts, and besides the sound of the wind, there was only the crackling sound of the fire burning the wood.

Arnold thought, thought, and was startled by a wolf howl piercing the night sky without any defense.

He suddenly realized something, stood up all of a sudden, and saw a strange wolf-like creature running on all fours, but with a human face and hind legs running from far away from the ruins—a Extraordinary out of control, but not High sequence!Arnold was ready to fight right away. Although he was about to reach his limit and lost his weapon, it was still easy to kill an out-of-control Extraordinary with the help of the hunter team.

Seeing the monster rushing towards him as if irrational, he immediately got ready to fight, but at the moment he was about to strike, the monster suddenly turned a corner in front of him and rushed towards the demon wolf lying there. Corpse!
Arnold was taken aback.

The monster rushed towards the separated Extraordinary feature, and swallowed the gem-like Extraordinary feature in one gulp. Its body immediately began to twist and deform further. Dense black short hairs grew on the two human hind legs, and the flesh and blood tentacles around the waist also grew. activity up.

Then, the monster turned its head abruptly and rushed over in a rampage.

Arnold could have dodged, but he suddenly didn't want to dodge, and just made a defensive action on the spot.

boom!
The newly promoted demon wolf couldn't break through the guardian's defense, but it sent Arnold flying like a ball, smashing through the walls of two small buildings in a row before stopping.

"Ahem...thank you very much."

Arnold climbed up from the ruins holding the wall, and slapped away the bricks and wall fragments that fell from his body.He looked at the route of the railway track in the distance, and was surprised that the strange wolf was also looking in that direction.

His expression became relaxed again, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he shouted to the airship in the distance:

"Retreat outside the town first!"

After finishing speaking, he jumped out lightly, and the magic wolf slammed into it the next moment, knocking down the whole building.It seems that it hasn't mastered the ability it just possessed, and it is only attacking the enemy with a certain instinct and obsession.

Arnold quickly ran out of Fanxing Town. When he and the hunter team retreated to the wasteland outside the town, the demon wolf also stopped chasing, dragged its huge body persistently, paced back and forth in the ruined town, and issued a deterrent sound. Roar.

It is guarded here, and anyone who approaches it will be attacked immediately.

Outside the city, Arnold and the hunter team gathered together. Seeing that the leading demigod had no plans to attack further, the hunters started pitching tents and lighting fires, waiting for when the demigod was ready.

"I want to change my view of the country of Ruen."

Arnold looked at the wolf wandering in the ruins, and said in a low voice:
"What does it matter if the war is just or not?"

"The legitimacy of war is nothing but a self-deceiving idealistic statement...Only fighting is real!"

In mythology, people often come up with various ways to kill other races or even the same kind, and sacrifice their lives to the gods.Up to now, sacrifices are becoming more and more civilized, and sometimes even blood sacrifices are not needed, but wars are becoming more and more cruel, and life flows in another direction.

"War is the time for gods to enjoy sacrifices."

"As human beings, none of us can escape from this circle—in this case, as long as we fight, fight until the last moment, that's all."

622
The train made a rhythmic sound and was speeding on the railway tracks in the mountains.

The carriages were so crowded with people and their little luggage that there was not even an inch of space left.Some people were standing, some people were sitting, they all kept quiet by coincidence, and kept chanting the honorable name of God in their hearts, praying for protection.

A middle-aged couple is snuggling together on the seats of the carriage. The gray-haired old gentleman wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looks gentle and elegant. He tightly holds the hand of his wife, who also has slightly gray hair on the temples, and purses his lips. , without saying a word.

They are a wealthy couple with no children. They own an estate of more than 20 pounds, which is enough for them to enjoy a leisurely and quiet life in the mountains far from the city.Now this car is full of such people, richer and nobler than them are everywhere.

Now, they are all sitting here as equals, or standing here, waiting for the verdict of fate.

The train moves on.

The vibrations and shaking from time to time will cause the people whose spirits have been stretched to the limit to scream. They managed to escape, and soon saw the fire and explosion erupting on the mountain. Some peaceful and beautiful dreams, so that people can stay in the vehicle as stable as possible.

The sky outside gradually brightened, and the passenger by the window couldn't wait to look out, and immediately let out a small exclamation:

"We're leaving the Amanda Mountains!"

No one can sleep in such an environment except children.The crowd immediately became agitated, scrambling to stretch their necks to see the scenery outside the window.

I saw that the surroundings were no longer snowy and sparsely populated mountains, but large farmlands and hunting grounds with scattered houses, livestock walking on the wide farms, and occasionally huge mansions and castles in the distance , People on horseback ran back and forth.

"We survived! We escaped!"

"Praise God, praise the gods!"

"It's really East Chester County, look, there is a farm under my name..."

……

The voices of the discussion came and went, and people's hearts that had been hanging all night finally fell.

The middle-aged couple also raised their heads. The old man let out a long sigh of relief and patted his wife's hand.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw a strange swaddle in his wife's arms, inside which was a baby with open eyes staring at him.He frowned strangely, and gradually remembered everything about this baby:
They have no children and have written in their wills that all their estates will be donated to church charities after their death.But the wife has always had the idea of ​​adopting a child. Just this week, they adopted a newborn who lost their parents through the Moon Church.

The old man remembered the baby's name, and remembered more details about the child's adoption. The more he looked at the pair of light green eyes, the more lovable he was, so he smiled and said:
"We also have some properties in East Chester County... we will settle down first and give little Vanessa a new home."

"There should be cute toys and little daisies in her little room." The lady responded with a smile, teasing the child in her arms.

Soon, the train arrived at the city train station in Stoun. The people on the train suppressed their joy and got off the train in an orderly manner under the arrangement of several red gloves.

The people who escaped by chance stood in Storn's station, breathing the fresh air and feeling the bright sunshine, as if they were born again, and some of them who were a little more sensitive even shed tears on the spot.

When they all got off the train, the empty train started again and headed for the distance.

"Praise the goddess!"

Several women cried, "We escaped, praise the goddess!"

People echoed this sentence one after another. They comforted each other and walked out of the station, praising the gods from the bottom of their hearts, thanking the gods for their care and blessings.
