Chapter 258: Never Winter Rains End
As the light columns soared into the sky, Arthur's team felt the blood surging, and the heavy load on his body was removed.
Arthur smiled and showed his eight teeth. Kelge was so excited that he didn't know how to express it, so he could only slap the shield. Nessica looked a little reluctant, but the exposed rabbit teeth betrayed her.
Ellanie was also smiling reservedly.
Only Hongyue, the mysterious girl who accidentally came to Wudong City, still looked into the distance with a expressionless face, not knowing what she was thinking.
Don't ask her why, just ask her if she is an undercover agent...
A quarter of an hour ago, they were escorting the half-grown child with a shield and sword and walking into Heim's sacred shelter in advance. After confirming that the child was safe, they quietly left.
*****
Five days ago, when they were in a daze and walked down the wall under Wudongren's bone-bumped gaze, Hongyue suddenly felt the cards in her pockets become a little hot!
When she walked to the corner of the uninhabited, she quietly took out the card and found that the text on the metal card had changed. In the past, she wrote a series of shocking titles by Chen Yan, but now it is twisted and finally turned into a new question.
"Do you think about the meaning of life? Do you want to really... live?"
If it were someone else, ninety percent would be confused by this sentence and scolded him for being "scary". But Hongyue wouldn't. She could meet the radio waves of Chen Yan, who was crazy, easily understood the "code" given by Chen Yan, and said "yes" without stopping for a moment!
Then the line of words is distorted again, turning into a scrolling number that is constantly counting down and a line of prompts.
When the Red Month activates the card, the number displayed on the card is [5:02:12].
Hongyue easily understood that the countdown number meant by the first column, the second column was the hour, and the third column was the minute. That is to say, when she saw it, the countdown had already begun, and now there are a little more than five days left.
So when does the countdown start to be calculated? The court banquet organized by Nasher? Or is the Luscan army appearing under Wudong City? What will happen in five days?
Hongyue couldn't understand the specific meaning of this string of numbers, so she could only focus on the following lines:
[Go to the third cargo warehouse in the dock area and have surprises. (Be careful not to expose it)]
Hongyue calmly put away the card, returned to the team and suddenly spoke to her listless teammates. "What's wrong? I wake up from my dream. Will I become a loser in my life if I don't become a hero?
I said to you guys? Think about it, are we really the heroes who save Wu Winter City?
Isn't it because Deszel himself doesn't want to live?
He said that we have surpassed Arrebes. His Excellency Arrebes has served in Winterless City for fifteen years. His Excellency Arrebes is a legendary powerhouse! What exactly did we do and what did we use to surpass Arrebes?
Listening to these flatteries, don’t you think about it?
Don't be stupid!
Think about it, in the eyes of those people, we are just a group of country people! I am a country girl who has never seen the world (self-personality), Arthur is a farmer child, Nesica is a thief, Kelge is an alcoholic, and Ellanie is an annoying druid!
We have never been heroes in the eyes of those nobles! We have never been! We are just a group of country bumpkins who are fascinated by praise. They were pushed out to deal with His Excellency Arribes. I think you all know this in your heart!
So those honors and praises are actually all, dogs, shit!
Since what you lost is something we shouldn’t have, what are you frustrated with?!”
Hongyue's sudden outbreak shocked the entire team! Arthur and others were scolded to the point of being red-faced, but they were also excited in shame. They looked at Hongyue gratefully, but they didn't expect that this teammate who had been a little taciturn (nervous) had always been so awake!
At this moment, they truly accepted Hongyue as a member of the team, and even secretly thought that she was the "ballast stone" of the team.
"Ahem," Hongyue cleared her throat, and after successfully grasping the right to speak, she softened her tone a little.
"If we don't want to leave like a loser, if we still want to regain our honor and make ourselves worthy of our reputation, why not start with small things first." She pointed to the hooligan who was grabbing things across the street, "For example, we can punish those bastards first!
In fact, if you want to help the city, you really don’t have to stand on the wall.”
****
Arthur's team cleared the rioters all the way, helped clear the passageway, and pushed the carriage with broken axles out of the pit...
They ignored the eyes of others and did not listen to the curse of darkness. They just did their work silently, but the route was unknowingly led by Hongyue and gradually approached the area of the third cargo warehouse on the dock.
When Arthur's team helped a merchant ship carrying supplies unload the goods, Nesica, who quietly slipped away, suddenly appeared and told them that when she went to the warehouse area to "play" and found a group of people very suspicious. She eavesdropped on the conversations of those people and found that they were Luscan's traitors!
Who is the traitor in Wudong City? Who can know better than Hegalius, the lord of the fifth tower of Luscan? After all, the entire spy network was formed by him! This time he "cooperated" with other tower masters to attack Wudong City, and he also divided part of his interests, and the main part of his efforts was this part of the resources.
When Shen Yan asked, he told Shen Yan truthfully.
So Hongyue's card naturally received very detailed information.
Arthur's team followed the clues and cracked Luscan's spy network in one fell swoop! When they reported this to the city garrison, the government system of Wudongcheng, which was still very complete, was shocked from top to bottom!
A nail that had been buried deep for decades was removed like this?
Wait! Do these country bumpkins really have the potential to become heroes? No, this can no longer be said to be potential... Think about it carefully, if you look at it without tinted glasses, Arthur's team has actually done a great job!
But this time the Arthur team refused praise and flattery. They left in silence and hurriedly, following the new clues.
After peeling the cocoons and threads, analyzing them layer by layer, fighting wits and courage, they finally found a channel for Luscan spies to communicate with the outside world, a teleportation array leading to Wudong City in a strange shop called "Distant Toustente".
The enemy can completely use this teleportation array to bypass the city walls and magic covers and appear directly in the city! It's so dangerous! Fortunately, it was discovered!
Just when they wanted to destroy the teleportation array, Hongyue came up with a new idea.
The teleportation array is here. Why can't Luscan people use it? Their role in the city is limited, and Luscan's spy network has been uprooted. Since this is the case, why not destroy it in the enemy's heartland? If the damage is large enough, it will definitely force Luscan to retreat!
...
Four days ago, they appeared next to the portal of the plane of the upcoming Reptile Empire. Arthur's team not only detonated the plane door through a series of misleading operations, but also killed thousands of reptile soldiers passing through the passage!
...
Three days ago, they hid in Luscan's military camp and witnessed the peerless passion of Eribes's sword killing the legendary red robe!
And took the opportunity to burn half of Luscan's food and supplies.
...
Two days ago, they were chased by Lu Skan and had no choice but to break into the military camp of the reptile soldiers to avoid it. "Accidentally" triggered a fierce conflict between the two sides, and another thousand people died.
...
A day ago, when he was chased and had no way to escape, Arthur's team relied on Red Moon's divination knowledge to discover an "ancient portal", successfully returned to Wudong City, and left a group of soldiers with red eyes screaming behind!
...
A few hours ago, Arthur's team retreated from the walls and was deeply aware that the city of Winter could fall at any time.
Hongyue proposed that the defeat was decided, and what should be done at this time is not to continue pursuing the possibility of one in ten thousand victory, but to help ordinary people in Wudongcheng find a way out after the city falls!
She once again successfully convinced Arthur and others.
After they figured it out, they couldn't help but sigh, "Hongyue, you are the most sober. What should we do if we didn't have you?"
Based on a vague message, Arthur and others finally found a half-old child whose parents both died, because he had a semi-artifact [Wall of Indomitable Rebellion] Kire Shield, through that shield, he could contact Heim Helme!
When the city was broken, the team contacted and successfully convinced Heim to save the people of Wudong City.
Heim has not been paying attention to the war that broke out in the Northland. As a god who guards the main plane, he is not that idle. Moreover, Heim Church has withdrawn from Wudong City, even for the sake of face, he has to act like he doesn't pay attention.
Arthur's team begged, gave Heim a step to intervene. You see it! This is not that I don't want to be faced and take the initiative to reach out. They begged me, so annoyed that I really can't do anything. I really didn't expect that this shield would have such defects...
So the Heim Temple lit up and became the first ray of dawn that shone into the Desperate Winter City!
Old man Heim held the warhammer and waited for the Reptile Queen's woman to resist... As a result, he didn't wait for this, but what he waited for was Tyr and other temples lit up one by one, like the stars shining at dawn.
Even Heim was moved by the scene of the dawn falling from the sky, and he had more confidence in the gods and humans.
"Mad, could it be that bastard Tyre's changeable nature?"
****
The heavy rain still connects the sky and the earth.
Standing in the corner of the city and watching this magical scene, everyone in Arthur's team was filled with pride and pride, and the glory appeared on their faces because of them, thousands of people survived the war!
"Our name is unknown, and our achievements will last forever." Hongyue whispered with excitement. That was what she saw on the card. It was at this time that the five-day countdown on the card was finally coming to an end:
...
【0:00:02】
【0:00:01】
【0:00:00】
Just the moment the countdown is zero
The rain stopped. .
Chapter completed!
