Commercial area, the gate in the wall of protection.
Aubenluo leaned on the edge of the city wall, looking at the dim sky in the distance, where the barren grass plain and the sky and the earth are in a line, and a black radiation cloud rolls in, swallowing the light between the sky and the earth, and the strong wind coming from under the black cloud , mixed with the smell of blood and rain.
He squinted his eyes slightly, and the dark golden pupils shone with light.
"General." A handsome adjutant with blond hair and a straight body came over, saluted with his palms on his chest, and said, "Everything is ready, and we can start fighting at any time!"
Aubenluo hummed without looking back.
Lieutenant Handsome slowly raised his head, secretly looking at this legendary figure in awe. The latter is the commander-in-chief of this war. He has already won five general stars at the age of forty, and is the youngest five-star in the military department. The general, who is also the person he respects the most, weighed his words and said in awe-inspiring tone: "General, will these savages really attack in these two days? They have occupied the Red Maple Mountains for seven or eight days and have not taken any action. According to the officials, they can enter the fortress, where the water source is abundant and the supplies are abundant, are they satisfied?"
Aubenluo said slowly: "I also hope that they will know how to be content, but if these beasts are really content, they will not hesitate to sacrifice so many tribesmen, but also to conquer the fortress and trespass into our territory. Their appetite , not only won’t be filled by this small area, even the entire outer wall area may not be able to fill their stomachs!”
Lieutenant Jun Lang was startled when he heard this, and lowered his head, "If they want to attack, will they attack from the slums or the protective walls of the residential areas? We didn't deploy too many troops there. The breakthrough, I'm afraid it will fall."
"Don't worry, there is a boundary wall. They broke through residential areas and slums, but it won't work. Instead, they will fall into a more unfavorable environment and be caught by us." Aubenluo said calmly, "You Go and check the barracks, and tell them to keep up their spirits and prepare for the war, and when the thunder sounds, the war will begin!"
"Thunder?" Lieutenant Jun Lang was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled. Suddenly, he thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he stepped back.
…
…
Outside the fortress, near the giant wall.
A troop of silver-white armored knights appeared in front of a barrier, one of them was handsome, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy suddenly twitched his nose twice, his face changed drastically, and he ran forward quickly.
Seeing this, the captain frowned slightly and beckoned others to follow.
Soon, when everyone came to the barrier, their expressions changed, and they were a little ugly.
"asshole!!"
"It's really the same as the intelligence said, it was completely wiped out!"
"Damn beast!"
Several team members cursed bitterly.
Captain Colon took a glance, his face was covered with a layer of frost, and said: "Quickly go and find out if there are any survivors."
"yes."
Several people dispersed immediately, came to various parts of the barrier, and turned over the corpses that seemed to be alive on the ground.
A few minutes later, the handsome young man shouted on a high wall of the fortress: "Captain, come quickly, there is still one alive here!"
Hearing this, Cologne, who was rummaging through the corpse, quickly put down the corpse in his hand, turned and ran quickly, and quickly arrived at the side of the handsome young man. Suddenly, he saw a junior bright knight with honors in his arms. There were deep bloodstains, as if the throat had been cut, and somehow he did not die. He was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly took out the purified water from his waist and handed it over, saying, "Wake up, who killed you? We are the investigation team." people."
The young knight with his throat cut opened his eyes weakly, and murmured a few times.
Cologne hastily moved his ear closer.
"Yes..." the voice stopped abruptly.
Ke Long waited for a few seconds, but seeing that there was no follow-up, he couldn't help but look up, only to see that the man's neck was tilted and he was dead.
"Ah, bastard!" Colon was a little mad, and punched the ground.
The handsome young man put down the body slowly, and said, "Captain, this man only has a wound on his throat, but the rest of the body is full of wounds. When I found him, there was a person on top of him. I guess , It is precisely because of this that he has not been reconfirmed whether he is dead. The murderer acted so meticulously. After slaughtering them, he did not rush to make up the knife to confirm that it should not be done by one person!"
Colon slowly stood up, and several other team members also ran over quickly at this time, and reported one by one: "Captain, there are no survivors, all of them are dead."
Cologne's eyes were gloomy, and he said: "If no living person speaks, let the dead speak. You go to see the wounds on these corpses, and find out if there is any missing information about the murderer at the scene. Kee, remember the smell of the scene. When the suspect is found, it will be up to you to confirm."
"Yes." The handsome young man nodded solemnly.
The rest of the team members also split up their work.
"Captain." Suddenly, a female voice came from a distance, "There are clues here!"
Kelong was slightly startled, two flashes of light suddenly shot out from his eyes, he rushed over quickly, turned over and jumped off the wall more than 20 meters high, flapped his palms on the wall quickly to release the strength, rolled over after landing, After rolling several times on the ground, he climbed up and rushed to a corpse in front of him. Squatting next to the corpse was a small and lovely young woman with a face full of surprise and doubt.
As soon as Colon saw the corpse's clothing, his heart trembled, and he recognized from its shoulders that it was the Grand Knight of the Three Orders and the guard in the barrier.
"Here, here is the word..." The young woman pointed at him when she saw him approaching.
Colon looked over, "The murderer is... Du Dian?"
Hearing his murmur, the young woman said in a daze, "Captain, the Du Dian he was talking about, shouldn't it be the Du Dian envoy from the Temple of Elements? Or someone else with the same name and surname?"
Kelong frowned, looked around the corpse for a while, and suddenly let out a light snort, with a look of thought in his eyes, and said, "These words should not be written by him, but added after his death." .”
The young woman was taken aback, looked carefully, and suddenly realized: "Yes, no wonder I always feel that something is wrong, the traces of these words are so deep, and it is different from his lying posture." , she lay down on the grass a few meters away, learned the inclination and posture of the corpse, and then tried to write with her fingers a few centimeters above the head next to the corpse. Although she could write with her fingers, the writing posture made her feel It was awkward and difficult, but why should a person who has been so seriously injured use such a difficult posture to write the last message
She got up quickly, regardless of the dust on her body, squatted in front of the corpse, and thought: "Captain, it seems that someone wants to use our hands to deliberately frame this person named Du Dian, and this person should be very likely It is the God Envoy Du Dian in the Temple of Elements, the power to deal with people like him must be extremely strong, and only such power can kill everyone here quietly, and there is still time to wait. Make up the knife slowly, eliminate the evidence, and destroy the wound marks."
Colon frowned, thinking: "Don't jump to conclusions, it is possible that the thief shouted and chased the thief. What is certain at present is that someone else added these words after holding his finger. There is still sand in his nails, and the person who killed him, in order to let us see these words, wrote them darker, and the wind and sand could not cover them for a while, which is more proof that he did not write them himself."
The young woman said: "Captain, judging from the condition of these corpses, they have been dead for no more than three hours. Why don't we find out the fatal wounds of these corpses first, and then restore the battle scene before their death to see if the murderer has Several people."
"Yeah." Colon nodded, "Go."
Immediately the young woman moved back to the rampart.
after an hour.
"Captain, judging from the information we got at the scene, the murderer should undoubtedly be three people! There are traces of three people climbing rocks outside the barrier, and there are traces of squatting in the grass in the distance. Three people can completely destroy this barrier. The massacres are all at the level of the three great knights. Looking at the entire outer wall area, the court is unlikely to do such a thing. The military is preparing for the battle with all its strength. At this pass, it should not be distracted to massacre one of our barriers. People, the biggest suspicion is the power of the noble consortium and the devil apostles in the dark church." A middle-aged square-faced blond man said, judging from his hair color, he was obviously a nobleman, but when analyzing the problem, he was There is no partiality to the nobles in the slightest, and it is just.
Colon nodded slightly, "The scope needs to be further narrowed. According to the handwriting found by Alai, no matter who wrote the handwriting, the murderer is related to Du Dian, and this Du Dian is 90% likely to be that Du Di'an, a genius divine envoy! Either the murderer is himself, or his enemy! Kee, go find the divine envoy Du Di'an immediately, and smell his scent, is it consistent with the murderer's scent! Alai, you Go and investigate, what are the consortiums that are involved in secret disputes with this Du Di'an envoy, and the rest, check with me if it is the work of the dark church, who wants to take the opportunity to frame our divine envoy."
"yes."
Everyone agreed in unison.
boom! !
In vain, a huge thunder exploded above everyone's heads, rolling in.
Everyone couldn't help looking up, but they saw that the sky was gloomy, and dark clouds floated from the direction outside the huge wall, as if a heavy rain was coming!
Now is the beginning of the black snow season, and after the torrential rain in this transitional season, the temperature will quickly cool down, and then the real black snow season will come!
Rumble! !
When everyone looked up, the thunder and lightning sprinted through the dark clouds, like thick thunder snakes.
Colon's expression changed, "Damn it!"
The young woman named Alai continued: "Move the corpses to the barrier quickly, and protect the traces of the scene from being washed away by the rain."
The others reacted and acted hastily.
"It's really not the right time!" Colon gritted his teeth.
"It's time to come!" Du Dian looked up at the sky and heard the thunder rolling in the distance. He couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He stood up slowly from the grass and said to Kaqi and Guinness: " Our battle is about to begin, it's time for the clown to step down, and now it's the protagonist's turn."
Kaqi was surprised: "Fight? Are we going to join the Guardian War?"
"Before the battle, you have to sacrifice your weapons first." Du Dian smiled, glanced at the broken King's Fortress, beckoned to the two of them, turned around and walked away from the opposite direction, avoiding a few people lurking along the way. The sentinels on the ground came to a relatively remote fortress. There were only a few soldiers on duty in this fortress, barely maintaining the basic operation of the fortress.
Du Dian glanced at it, turned around and came to a more remote place, dug out the sand, took off the hunter coat on his body, and buried it inside.
Kaqi and Guinness saw Du Dian signaled, and also took off their coats.
After burying his coat in the sand, Du Dian took the lead in sneaking towards the fortress.
Kaqi and Guinness were a little surprised, understood Du Dian's thoughts, followed him and sneaked over the fortress and sneaked into the fortress.
Whoosh!
Du Dian took the lead and walked straight forward.
After a while, Du Dian, Kaqi, and Guinness returned to a township behind the fortress. The township was empty, the streets were empty, and chickens, ducks and other poultry were raised behind some houses, and their hair was long and sharp. cry.
"Have everyone gone to take refuge behind the protective wall, but they run very fast." Kaqi walked on the street in a big way, looking at him with a smile.
Guinness looked around silently, like a passerby who stayed out of the way.
Du Dian picked a house and was about to go in to change a set of clothes and come out. In vain, he froze for a moment, turned his head and looked at the eighth house on the left, and when he was looking at it, his brows suddenly frowned, as if Suddenly noticed something, he immediately turned around and walked towards the house.
Kaqi and Guinness were slightly stunned and followed.
Du Dian kicked open the door of the house, entered inside, quickly found a corridor leading to the basement, jumped down, and suddenly saw a few linen bags piled up in the corner, and on the other side were wooden barrels of wine, everything looked the same However, he saw two clusters of red lights among the linen bags that seemed to be filled with rice. He walked over immediately, reached out and grabbed the mouth of one of the bags, and threw it to the ground next to it.
"Ouch!" A female voice cried out in pain from inside the bag.
puff!
A linen bag next to the bag was torn open suddenly, and a dagger stabbed at Du Dian's face.
Du Dian grabbed it casually and pinched the wrist holding the dagger. Inside was a seven or eight-year-old boy with freckles on his face, brown hair, and a face full of surprise and horror.
Du Dian frowned slightly, exerted a little force on his wrist, and the boy let go of the dagger in pain.
Du Dian threw it on the ground next to him, and turned his head to look at the figure that came out of another linen bag. This was a five or six-year-old girl with light green hair, a wheat-white complexion, and huge, delicate eyes. cute.
"Brother, brother, are you alright?" The girl saw the boy who fell beside her and hurried over.
The boy rubbed his buttocks and broken elbows, hugged the girl, bit his lower lip tightly, his face was terrified, his legs were trembling, but he looked at Du Dian courageously on his small face, without daring to blink.
Kaqi and Guinness came down the stairs and were a little surprised to see the little brother and sister inside.
A smile curled up on the corner of Kaqi's mouth, and he said, "I didn't expect there were two brats hiding here, tsk tsk tsk, I'll take care of it." As he spoke, he walked towards the two of them.
