Chapter 63: Next(1/2)
"boom--"
"Da da da……"
"Whoa-whoa-"
"It's so noisy...what's going on?"
In the dim room, the woman in red impatiently climbed up from a gorgeous big bed. She covered her ears in annoyance and jumped off the soft bed. Then she wrapped herself in clothes and continued to walk barefoot to the nearest room.
I looked out the window.
This is the very center of the underground city, a bedroom in the extremely tall and majestic castle palace. The bedroom is very large, but it does not seem so empty, because there is only one gorgeous big bed in the middle.
There are a large number of handicrafts and fabrics of different styles piled outside. These things include human items, elven items, and even some vulgar monster handicrafts, etc. There are many types and different quality, and these things are not similar at all.
This is the original decoration of this bedroom, and even the placement of the items feels quite unreasonable.
But what is surprising is that these things are arranged quite neatly, and they are not piled up or hindered from moving. Even if you look closely, you can notice some traces in the room that indicate that there were all "original" decorations here.
It just seems to have been demolished recently. Such a weird style room can almost be said to be unique. It may also be said that the decorator of this bedroom has very weird taste, but the woman in red
I don't mind these weird things at all, although I'm not very satisfied with them.
After the woman in red walked to the window, she did not rush to see the source of the noise. Instead, she looked down at the empty and silent city buildings below. It was not that it was completely dark and nothing could be seen. In fact, the city was actually inside.
There are still some weak street lights on the streets illuminating the wide main roads. However, if you look from outside the city, you cannot notice these light sources. After all, there are tall pine city walls outside blocking all this.
Of course, these light sources are not always on. In fact, these light sources are street lamps that were turned on not long ago. I don’t know what kind of light sources these lamps are. Anyway, the light is always very dim but not at all.
It looked like it was about to go out. The woman in red looked carefully at the shadows on the street. There were actually many twisted monsters hiding in the darkness on both sides of the street that were slowly moving. These monsters were the ones she had been driving away before.
The "servants" were also residents of this city. When the woman in red discovered this, she acquiesced to their existence, but strictly prohibited them from entering the castle and palace at will.
Seeing them struggling to walk in the darkness, the woman in red couldn't help but feel a little complicated, because the darkness outside the light is not so pure, and those monsters have long been unable to survive in the bright world, but because
Previously, the woman in red threw a tantrum before going to bed because she didn't like the dark city, which caused them to take actions to light up the city despite their uncomfortable habits. The woman in red didn't care at the time, but now she wakes up.
I feel that my previous request was a bit too arbitrary.
Overlooking the brightly lit city, the woman in red sighed helplessly. But then a violent explosion in the distance woke her up from her complicated thoughts. When she looked up, the battlefield in the distance seemed to have developed.
It was very intense, and various magical halos and explosions were heard one after another, and there were even some unknown series of luminous objects pouring down from a high place.
"It doesn't sound like the sounds of those monsters fighting... Well... these strange noises... are those humans?" The woman in red stared at the direction of the battlefield for a long time, and finally sneered suddenly for some reason.
Said: "Humph, is it a battle between humans and monsters... Well, let them kill each other, and it saves me the trouble of cleaning up these monsters that occupy my courtyard... But..."
The woman in red looked at the high tower on the battlefield and frowned, because she found a voice on top that had woken her up before. She vaguely remembered that she was scared away by that dangerous god when she planned to go there to find her.
, but at this moment, the woman in red calmly used her own ability to scan the place, and it seemed that she did not find the god from before, so her mood inexplicably became much better.
"That human... smells delicious..." The woman in red sniffed her nose subconsciously, then couldn't help but lick her lips and muttered to herself: "No... you can't eat humans.
...That's a barbaric act...but...you won't die if you take a small bite, right? It's really not possible...It's okay to bring her back and let me have a good smell..."
The more the woman in red thought about it, the more hungry she felt in her belly. In the end, she didn't know how long she persisted, and finally couldn't help but stretched out her hand in the direction of the battlefield, intending to use some kind of magic, but before she could activate the magic, she felt something in her heart.
There was a moment of panic, and she felt a suffocating sense of oppression as if she had discovered a falcon pouncing on a rabbit, so she hurriedly stopped charging the magic and knelt down under the window sill to hide.
"No...this aura...is a god...she hasn't left yet?!" The woman in red waited for a long time and finally calmed down her inner fear. Then she held her head on the window sill and quietly revealed her head to look in the direction of the battlefield again, and then
Before she could see clearly, she felt the pressure coming towards her again.
"No... it's not that god... it's another one... He wants to kill me?! He must want to kill me!" The frightened woman in red once again grasped the edge of the window sill weakly and knelt on the ground.
Gritting her teeth, she was full of anger but couldn't vent it out. She didn't even dare to think about venting, because the pressure just now was as cold and biting as the sharp knife hanging above her head. Now she can't even stand up again.
I didn't have the courage, so I could only continue to hold on to the window sill, kneel on the ground and tremble.
I don’t know how long it took, but the woman in red felt cold, hungry, and tired. After all, she hadn’t eaten anything since she woke up. It’s not that there was no food in the palace, but the food was all monsters.
The raw ingredients were delivered and I didn’t know how to cook, so I didn’t eat. Just before going to bed, I just took a bite of an unknown fruit in the kitchen. It turned out that the fruit was sour, hard and unpalatable, so I threw it aside.
Went back to the bedroom to sleep.
"Gulu gulu..."
Listening to the constant "hungry wails" coming from her belly, the woman in red suddenly became filled with grief and anger, and large tears fell from her eyes.
"Why..." The woman in red lowered her head and said angrily to herself: "Why... why do you bully me like this?"
"Click-"
The woman in red tightly grasped the edge of the window sill with both hands. The window sill, which was obviously made of stone, actually broke apart with many cracks caused by her seemingly weak hands.
"This is my home... This is my territory... Why... Why can humans enter here and cause destruction at will, but I can't come forward to drive them away and can only stay here and wait to die?! Why do you want to
Bullying me like this?!" After the woman in red was so excited that she seemed to have forgotten her previous fear, she suddenly raised her head and shouted out the window: "This is not fair!"
The sharp roar instantly spread to the city outside, and unwillingness filled every corner here. The miserable echo slowly echoed in the empty rooms everywhere. All the monsters in the city were
Stopping their respective actions, every monster was quietly looking up at a certain window in the huge palace. There was a scarlet halo flickering there, and the monsters all felt the halo emanating from it.
The terrifying aura is like a volcano about to erupt, which is constantly accumulating power, or it seems to be struggling desperately with something.
But unfortunately, the red light did not burst out, but suddenly went out like a candle.
"How childish..." Desmo gently blew a trace of dust on the tip of his right index finger, then looked in the direction of the dungeon and smiled: "Fair? It's really ridiculous. You didn't exist from the moment you were born.
Fairness...our fairness is not prepared for you, filth!"
Just as Desmo finished speaking, he heard a burst of light and rapid footsteps approaching from outside.
"Desmo, come and help me." Ruby walked in from outside the tent holding a stretcher with both hands, and on the stretcher lay a comatose human soldier.
Although the soldier's clothes were stained with blood, the wound had been treated and bandaged. It seemed that the injury was serious, so he still couldn't go to the battlefield immediately after the treatment, so he was carried there by Ruby.
Come and rest here.
When Ruby first came in, she did scare a lot of the injured who were awake, because according to everyone's common sense, it is impossible for a child like her to lift a human who weighs at least 80 kilograms.
Of course, this common sense is not limited to humans. In fact, elves also have similar views, but they understand Ruby's situation better than humans, so they are not too surprised by it.
This is a rest area set up by the elves. Except for the leisurely "caregiver" Desmo, the people who stay here are all wounded, and all the wounded are humans. After all, the injury rate of the elves is
Much lower than humans, and their physical fitness is also stronger than humans, so as long as they are not seriously injured, they can climb back on the wall and continue fighting after taking a short rest. Relatively speaking, it is very troublesome for humans, because
The number of seriously injured people on the human side has been increasing since just now. Although everyone was lucky enough to save their lives, they can only stay here to "recuperate" for a while.
This is a rule from the top, and this is an order personally issued by Knight Miles as their commander, because in their past understanding, as long as they do not die, they must go to the front line again, unless they are missing arms and legs.
Only at that level would one go to the rear to recuperate, but this could only be done during non-combat time.
Although everyone was confused about the matter of recovering from injuries during the battle, everyone was more curious about why the injuries that seemed to take several months to heal could only take an hour to recover as before in this magical camp, so everyone also
They all accepted this order quietly, and the caregiver here is a very mysterious and beautiful woman. The only pity is that she does not know how to take care of the wounded personally, and the only thing the wounded can do when they stay here is to be quiet.
Secretly admiring every move of the woman, because this is something that everyone was strictly required by their superiors and even threatened with death before they came in. After entering, they pretended to be deaf and dumb and were not allowed to disturb the woman. Of course, they also
The same goes for this little girl who occasionally runs in carrying injured patients.
In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that there is nothing magical about the camp itself. It's just that Desmo quietly applied some magic on it. As for the need to rescue the wounded in this way, there is no way, because the elves here
The therapists in Algarsburg were not as good as the geniuses in Algasburg in terms of both quantity and quality, so Celine and Miles finally reluctantly asked Diana to find some way, and the final result was that Erica was the one who summoned her.
Desmo came up with such a solution.
Speaking of which, Desmo actually likes this method, because she doesn’t like fighting. With this method, she can actually hide here and drink tea quietly and read a book. Of course, the premise is that there are no unexpected events.
To disturb her, just like what happened just now, Desmo was actually very dissatisfied and angry in her heart, but she was not willing to show it.
Just when Desmo was about to pick up the book again, Ruby came in. Because she was distracted just now, she didn't pay attention to the situation outside, so she panicked a little and hurriedly walked to Ruby's door.
Then he waved his hand casually, and in an instant, the wounded man lying on the stretcher floated up on his own and slowly flew to an empty bed nearby. After placing the wounded man, Desmo immediately took the hand from Ruby's hand.
The stretcher was thrown aside, and then he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on her face.
"Come here and rest for a while. Look, I've prepared hot cocoa for you..." Desmo wanted to pick up Ruby dotingly, but to her surprise, Ruby took the initiative to take a step back to avoid her.
of hugs.
"There are still many wounded outside..." Ruby pointed to the tent and said in a pleading tone: "This place is full. Desmo, can you get one out?"
Only then did Desmo notice that the bed he had just placed was the last one. He looked back at the more than 30 beds crowded in the tent and couldn't help but frown.
"Okay... But let's go out and take a look first." Desmo nodded, then hugged Ruby, and took a cup of hot cocoa from the table and handed it to Ruby before hugging her.
She walked out of the tent.
Just after walking out of the camp, Desmo heard deafening roars and howls as well as various noisy gunshots above his head. From time to time, he could also hear some tinkling sounds coming from below the stone tower, which seemed to be
Some bullet casings fell from above, but this can also show how fierce the battle between Erica and the others was above. After all, the top structure of the tower is not a pure platform. There is also a female wall structure on top, and she also specially provided
They made some grooves and channels for collecting and storing shell casings. Now they can still spill the shell casings outside, either because the places where the shell casings are accumulated are full, or they just lie down on the wall out of fear.
Shoot on the pile.
"Wha-boom!"
"Bang-bang-bang...boom-boom-boom-..."
Listening to the various explosives whistling overhead, Desmo was really not in the mood to look up at Erica and the others, because the quite dense explosions coming from outside could already tell the story of the battle.
It was in general condition, but just in case, Desmo still closed his eyes and quietly used his ability to sense the situation of the monsters outside.
To be continued...
