Chapter 469
"no."
Hearing that Wuming wanted him to give up his mission, Messermo blurted out subconsciously.
"You want to end the jihad, right?" Wuming asked.
"I don't want to cleanse the filth anymore," Messemer said, "but I can't break the seal...I can't give up on my mission."
"Isn't jihad also your mission? Why do you stop doing it now?" Wuming asked.
Messermo was a little confused:
"After the Horned People possess the Tower of God, they will rise immediately. At that time, the Horned People will counterattack the border area. The war will not end yet."
Patch smiled: "I understand, you have to push the opponent until he can no longer resist, in order to be eligible for mercy. Only by maintaining a pitiful posture will you want to end the holy war. If you want to show mercy to the weak, you must let him The weak will always be the weak, right? Otherwise, how can we show the kindness of the gentlemen?"
Wuming covered Patch's mouth and said to Messermo:
"But you should also know that the war will not end unless the Horned People's tower is returned. They will not give up."
"The difference is that one war is limited to the Shadow Land, while the other will spread to the border areas." Mersemer said, "I would rather bear the Lament and lock the Hornmen in the Shadow Land."
Wuming held up his chin: "Everyone thought the same way when we were at the junction and had a seizure. We only thought about problems from the perspective that was most beneficial to ourselves, and as a result, the problems became bigger and bigger. Don't just think about gains and losses when thinking about problems. You Yeah, you have to learn to love.”
Calling for love in the battlefield, Messemer felt that Wuming's brain was not working well, but he was embarrassed to say it.
"I'll just take care of things like profit." Wuming patted his chest and continued.
"You just want to benefit yourself, right?" Messermo couldn't help it.
Wuming chuckled: "You have to try everything. What you are worried about is that the horned people will counterattack, right? As long as you can ensure that the horned people don't counterattack, you are willing to break the seal?"
Messermo hesitated:
"Can it really be guaranteed? This is mother's order..."
"Your mother has changed her mind." Wuming said, "Forget about your mother first."
"Then how do you ensure that the Horned Man will not retaliate?" Messermo asked.
Wuming hugged his shoulders and was silent for a moment, then sighed solemnly and seriously: "It seems that it's time for me to lower my status and appear in person."
"Are you going to sell your face again?" Messermo said.
"How much is face worth?" Wuming felt a little distressed, "Of course it depends on the benefits. As long as you transfer enough benefits, the people will understand your sincerity."
Wuming said: "It will be beneficial to you to bring the corner guy to the negotiating table. After all, you can make more profits."
"This can help the horned people eliminate their hatred?" Messer didn't believe it.
"Step by step, it depends on the situation." Wuming said, "You help me, I will be fully responsible for this matter - call some of your horn scholars over, I need to know the horns better."
Wuming's request was not too much, so Messemer called the Horned Scholar and ordered the Flame Knight to help Wuming, and then he went to rest. He was seriously injured and still needs to rest.
Kuder helped Messemer into the darkroom to rest.
After Mersemer fell asleep, Kud gently exited the dark room and saw Mulitier coming over with Leilana on her back.
Leila's injuries were even more serious and she was still in a coma, being carried on Mulitir's shoulders.
The two chief knights looked at each other and understood. Kud opened the door again and asked Mulitier to move Leila into the dark room.
Then both knights withdrew and stood guard at the door.
In the depository, Wuming and Patch were discussing something.
"How about a hammer?" Patch said.
Wuming shook his head: "If the blunt instrument of the hammer hits the wrong place, it will still be fatal. And even if it doesn't hit the vital point, it will still damage the bones and internal organs, which requires treatment. We don't have enough healers."
Wuming said: "How is your spider silk?"
"It's too sharp and it's hard to control the damage," Patch said. "If you want to make it thicker, it's too laborious and it's impossible to pull it that long, and it's ineffective if it's thicker."
Lance Sanks came over curiously:
"What are we discussing?"
"How to deal with the horned man." Wuming said.
"Aren't you ready to negotiate?" Lance Sanks said, "Why do you have to deal with the Horned Man again?"
"You have to deal with the horned man first so that you don't have to deal with the horned man." Patch said.
"So I'm looking for non-lethal methods." Wuming said.
"Oh~" Lance Sanks nodded, "I don't understand."
Lance Sanks went back to play with La Ya. In front of La Ya, she felt like a big sister.
Patch continued to think and asked Wuming:
"How about your peaceful walk?"
"The scope is not enough, and it is not good if it is too peaceful." Wuming said, "It will not be able to appreciate our sincerity."
"How about poison and anesthetic?" Patch said.
"It doesn't work." Wuming said, "The bodies of the horned people are too strong, so it is difficult to find suitable toxins."
"The scene is grand against the group, but it can't be too deadly..." Patch thought.
"Yes." Wuming remembered, "Gravity magic."
"Can your half-baked gravity magic work?" Patch expressed doubts, "Broken Star isn't here."
"Zhi Xing is not here, Broi Xing's senior brother is here." Wuming said, immediately stood up and went to find Gaius.
Gaius listened to Wuming's request and thought for a moment:
"It's not impossible. With my rock blocks and the power of gravity, I should be able to make them flip over. But I have to rush into the formation. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to use it."
"I'll take care of the defense." Wuming said.
"I'm assured of your shield." Gaius smiled.
After solving the problem of the Horned Man, Wuming walked out of the vault. As soon as he went out, he saw a black knight being beaten back to the city wall.
You can see a Horned Man warrior wearing a divine beast helmet, jumping higher than the city wall, waving the big knife in his hand, rolling up a storm, and beating the black knight back to the city wall.
The Horned Man warriors are far more powerful than the Black Knights, but the Black Knights rely on numbers and groups to fight, and constantly exchange blood with the Horned Man.
The two sides are evenly matched, forming a meat grinder in front of the battlefield, constantly spilling blood.
But soon, the situation will be changed.
The Horned Man appeared directly in front of the city, and they relied on teleportation to bypass the terrifying Furnace Golem.
And Andros has sent people to activate the golem and dispatch it back.
With the Furnace Golem attacking the Horned Man from the rear, the Horned Man's formation will be disrupted, and the Horned Man will be defeated under the pincer attack from the front and back.
The golem appeared behind the Horned Man, and the sculptured image of the flame evil god on the golem brought great fear and confusion to the Horned Man.
Just as Andros predicted.
He was ready to command the Black Knights to counterattack and defeat the Horned Man.
Wuming rushed past the Black Knights' guards and ran to him, interrupting his command.
"What do you want, Lightless One?" Andros said unkindly, not understanding why Wuming broke in at this time.
They should be considered enemies in terms of position, but at this time, Andros didn't want to cause trouble. He saw Wuming standing on the wall and shouting before, and knew that this was someone from Messermo's side, and he also knew that Wuming's strength must be good. Otherwise, he wouldn't stand on the wall and eat the crossbow.
Wuming said: "I need you to bring your soldiers back from the battlefield."
Andros raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I will listen to you? What's the reason?"
"My people took over the battlefield." Wuming said.
"Our warriors have an advantage, and you want to pick peaches?" Andros said.
"Is there an advantage?" Wuming looked at the sand table in front of Andros.
"The Burning Golem has intercepted the Horned Man in the rear." Andros said, "Our knights' charge can break up their formation."
"Burning Golem..." Wuming pondered, didn't say much, but didn't leave either.
A moment later, a black knight came to report:
"The Burning Furnace Golem was dismantled by the Horned Warriors."
"What? How is it possible?" Andros was shocked, "The Horned People dared to attack the Burning Furnace Golem? They could attack the Burning Furnace Golem? Aren't they afraid of fire?"
The black knight said: "The action mode of the Burning Furnace Golem has changed. It no longer uses fire. The Burning Furnace Fire seems to have disappeared. It can only punch and kick. The Horned People adapted to it and dismantled the golem bit by bit."
Andros was furious:
"Who changed the core of the Burning Furnace Golem?!"
"Yes, who?" Wuming's eyes were erratic, and he said quickly, "Oh, you see, the Burning Furnace Golem is gone, the Horned People are in high spirits, but your morale is declining. Why don't you retreat first?"
Andros glanced at Wuming, ran to the top of the wall himself, observed the battlefield, and finally called off the troops.
"Whatever you have, use it." Andros said to Wuming.
Messermo's people were ready to fight, and he was happy to see it happen. For him, both sides were filthy, and whoever was injured would be good for him.
Seeing Andros give in, Wuming led a row of Flame Knights and left Shadow City from the main gate.
The gate of Shadow City opened, the Black Knights withdrew, and the Flame Knights took over. Then all the Flame Knights prayed at the same time, and a golden ball of light blasted out, knocking out the Horned People who were chasing the Black Knights and preparing to rush into the city.
The Horned People, who were originally uneven, were blasted to about the same level. Gaius came around from the side, rode a wild boar high up, and crashed in front of the Horned People.
The surging gravity magic spread out, overturning the earth and the Horned People together.
After the Horned People were thrown out, Gaius's wild boar tapped the ground lightly, flew up again, turned around, and did it again.
The wild boar, with two huge horns, pushed the Horned People's line back like plowing the land.
The Horned Warrior saw the opportunity, rushed to Gaius, and chopped the wild boar's head with a big knife.
A burst of golden light enveloped Gaius's body. The mighty sword could not stop the wild boar at all, and the horned warriors were also knocked out by the wild boar.
Even the extremely powerful beast warriors were defeated after only resisting for a moment when facing the charge of the wild boar. Gaius rushed among the horned people, but he was not injured at all. Gravity magic kept pushing the horned people away. Occasionally, there were fish that slipped through the net, and the Flame Knight would take action, and the Fury of the Distance would also hit back the missed horned people.
Gaius, one man and one pig, forced the horned people back hundreds of meters.
The horned people seemed to be stunned, and finally stopped the offensive and temporarily retreated a distance.
Seeing such a fierce general, the black knights watching the battle on the city wall were also very excited and praised Gaius.
However, when Gaius returned to the city in triumph and saw Gaius's helmet and armor, the black knights fell silent again.
"Do they know you?" Wuming asked Gaius.
"Somewhat familiar." Gaius said, "But it's mainly because my helmet is not very popular."
"Isn't it pretty?" Wuming looked at Gaius's helmet.
"It's shaped like a seed." Gaius said, "The people of the Golden Tree don't like seeds. They will think it's a hint that the Golden Tree will decline."
"This is too sensitive." Wuming said.
"No, I am hinting." Gaius said, "This is the prophecy of the two fingers, and it is also the consensus of the schools such as the Prophet and the Falling Leaf School."
"This..." Wuming didn't know what to say.
Gaius said: "Because it was a two-finger prophecy, the people of the Golden Tree can't say anything. But they will definitely be unhappy."
"Then why are you provoking them." Wuming said.
"Brother, I am a son of platinum." Gaius said, "Do you think they will let me go if I keep silent? See my armor? They even made me a leg armor."
"Don't you have no legs?" Wuming said.
"So guess what it means to make leg armor for me?" Gaius spread his hands, "I am still helping them defend the city now, just for the sake of Messermo."
"Thank you for your hard work." Wuming patted Gaius's butt, "It's up to us next."
The Flame Knight did not return immediately, but rushed up when the Horned Man retreated.
They did not go to pursue, but cut off all the big spears full of burning corpses along the edge of Shadow City and gathered them together.
From a distance, it looked like a skewer.
Wuming also turned back, came to the skewers, stretched out his hand, and absorbed all the flames on the corpse.
Then the Flame Knight took action, pulled the corpse out of the spear, and according to the instructions of the Horned Scholar, gathered the corpse according to the Horned Funeral Ritual, and finally pushed it far away, placing it in a place where the crossbows in the city could not reach.
After doing all this, without the contrast of the corpse torch, the horror atmosphere around Shadow City was reduced by more than half.
What Wuming did with the Flame Knight, whether it was the scouts in the city or outside the city, did not quite understand.
The people in the city were angry that Wuming had destroyed their military exploits, and the Horned people in the distance were wondering if this was an ambush.
But no matter what both sides thought, Wuming had already swaggered back to the city with the Flame Knight.
Some soldiers wanted to find Wuming to argue, but they felt dizzy and inexplicably let Wuming go.
At the beginning, the conflict was not big, and Andros did not have much opinion on cutting off the spears outside the city.
But when Wuming made his next move, Andros could no longer bear it.
"Have you shut down all the furnace golems in various places?" Andros saw the information reported by his subordinates and cursed Wuming, furious.
The furnace golem can be said to be the most powerful weapon of the Golden Tree. Each furnace golem is equivalent to an army. With the furnace golem, a horn army can be easily defeated.
Shadow City is an unshakable castle, and the furnace golem is an unshakable mobile castle, which can give the horns a double blow physically and mentally.
With the furnace golem, Andros can be so sure of his victory.
The failure of the golem in front of the city is also one of the reasons why Andros called off the battle. He sent people to take back the other furnace golems around the city that day.
As a result, his subordinates reported that all the furnace golems were broken, unable to be activated, and unable to be repaired.
They saw Wuming sneaking around the golem.
"Did you destroy the golem?" Andros questioned him.
"It was me." Wuming admitted frankly.
"Why?" Andros was furious. "You are also from Messermo's side, don't you know that the Furnace Golem is the strongest weapon of Messermo's Crusade?"
"Isn't that a flame? I cleaned the flame for the Golden Tree, you should thank me." Wuming said.
Andros could no longer hold back the hammer in his hand.
"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet." Wuming said, "You haven't heard my reason yet."
"What reason?" Andros suppressed his anger.
Wuming raised his index finger and showed a wise look:
"Hey, I want to get everyone to sit together and talk. To do this, we need to make the resentment of both sides less severe."
"Kill him!" Andros's resentment soared into the sky, and he rushed towards Wuming with his hammer.
"Look, you are anxious again." Wuming blocked Andros's hammer with his shield, and floated back, pulling away from the other black knights, "You haven't heard the conditions I offered yet."
"What conditions do you offer? I will kill you, a traitor." Andros said.
"Oh?" Wuming raised his head, "What if the condition is that you can go home?"
