Release that Witch Chapter 824: Symbol of Falling
As he approached the front of the position, he no longer needed telescope to see what the refugees looked like.
Every man and woman, of different ages, with a slouch of clothes, a slow pace, a weak body, let alone Judgement Army, not even ordinary militia.
Nail is more convinced of his own judgment.
But he also knows that Church also has an secret drug that can instantly increase strength. Considering that the other party may use Berserker drug pills, he asked his teammates to set up the barrel within the suppression range of heavy machine gun, and he went forward and shouted by himself. "This is the border line of Kingdom of Greycastle. No one is allowed to break into it! Stop now and stay still, otherwise we will shoot!"
The group of people apparently saw him as well, with excited expressions on their faces, and instead of stopping, they accelerated their pace.
Nail fired two shots in the sky and repeated the warning again, but it had no effect.
"Neck head, come back!" the veteran cried behind him. "They don't know what firearms is, and you won't stop even if you shout your throat!"
Nail changed his mind and quickly replaced the shooting in the shouting with archery. This time, the visitors finally responded, but they only continued to move forward after a short hesitant, and this time they waved to First Army. both hands, shouting while running.
The shout was very noisy, and he could only tell that he was asking for help.
"No, stop!" Nail made a final attempt until being dragged back to the line by his teammates. As the group of people passed the first row of wooden stakes, the two bunkers fired at almost the same time. The bullet swept across the top of Nail's head with a whistling sound, fell around the stakes, stirred up a blossoming snow pillar, and drowned their shouts completely.
The front of the crowd suddenly burst into a mist of blood.
This time they finally stopped moving.
Nail saw that in addition to the refugees who were swept down, the others successively fell to their knees, lying on the snow in the five bodies, despite their fear, they did not escape backwards, it seems that there is more terrible behind Things are waiting for them in general.
"Stop! Stop! Don't shoot!" Nail took off his jacket, risking being hit by stray bullets, got up and waved towards the bunker, and finally the machine gun squad released the trigger. Presumably he noticed his strange behavior, and two more teams left the bunker area and surrounded the front line.
Crossing the smoke-filled position, a five-person squad held a rifle flat, followed behind Nail, and slowly approached the stranger, who was trembling, even if the snow was bitter in the cold Dare to move.
"Where did you all come from?"
No one talks.
"Did you not hear from the squad leader!" the veteran yelled, "If it is not answer, all the spies will be hung up!"
"Big, big, big ... sir," someone finally said this time, "I and we are all from Hermes."
"So you are Church believers?" Nail frowned.
"Yes ... no, no, we are not," the man repeatedly gimmicked, "We were deceived by Church's before, and now we have lost our way! gods did not protect Church at all, we are wrong, please Give us something to eat! "
After this sentence was spoken, it immediately caused a noise in the crowd, "Sir, please, wheat porridge is good, my child will die!"
"The Church's army chased us behind and we had to lose our bags."
"Sir, I haven't eaten in three days."
So they would rather be shot by machine guns than run away? Looking at each other's withered face and more than a dozen corpses with bloodshed, Nail flashed a bit of intolerance in his heart. After fleeing Holy City, heading to Greycastle was probably their only way of life. He felt the dry food in his waist pocket and was about to throw it to the group, but was caught by the veteran's wrist.
"What are you going to do?"
"Give them food."
"Are you sure? These guys are from Church's," the veteran said with a low voice, "is our enemy."
"But they're not the same now, haven't you heard? They admit they have been deceived."
"Well, cheating?" The veteran dismissed, "when they can't live, they will even believe that Devil will be a true god. Compared to those who follow forward Judgement Army, these guys are just grassroots."
"Boss, Uncle Sang was right. Maybe the weapon and armor used by the Church army were made by them."
"Ghosts know if they have First Army blood on their hands."
"It's a good thing to get mixed up here, who wants them to fight Your Majesty? I don't want to give them food."
Nail took a deep breath, he made a quiet gesture towards his teammates, "Listen to me, when Your Majesty didn't come to Border Town's, you should know what situation is in the town. At that time, didn't everyone all be more or less deceived by Church's? But Your Majesty didn't give up on us, and didn't treat us as wall grass. Should we spit them out now? Of course, I don't mean to let those who have committed crimes, give them food and take them back. Interrogation is the right thing to do. "
"Uh, this ..."
"And Your Majesty Roland once said in the book that Kingdom of Greycastle is a whole. As long as it is an innocent person and is willing to surrender to Greycastle, then it should be treated as citizen of King instead of persecution and exclusion." Nail said in a breath , "If there are innocent people in it, and we can't help but die, wouldn't it be against Your Majesty's's will?"
After a moment of silence on the spot, the veteran grinned. "Neckhead, I know why the Blair adult elected you as Captain. It ’s not the same thing that you read. You used to be critical at the moment. Man, if Iron Head wants to know, I will definitely make a good call for you. "
It can be seen that he did not agree with the remarks that "everyone who trusts in Greycastle is citizen", but First Army respected Roland Wimbledon Your Majesty up and down, naturally he did not want to resist Nail. "But you can't just throw the food directly to them, that will only cause looting. Pick out a few that can't hold it up, and let them line up to pick it up."
...
With more and more soldiers coming up, the vice-battation commander "Hawk Face" in charge of commanding the Northern Lands garrison has also arrived at the front line. This tall man with a round pupil and sharp mouth, resembles the Western Region gray eagle, is the same as Iron Axe. It was the outstanding hunter of the first joining militia team. "Who can explain what is going on?"
Nail went forward with a military salute and briefly stated the story.
"Escaped from Holy City?" Hawk Face heard a thoughtful expression after listening, and then asked his men to bring a refugee to the front. "What happened in Hermes? If you can get one five one Ten places to speak situation, I can let you fill your stomach. "
"Master, master ..." the refugee swallowed, "The new Holy City cathedral ... collapsed ..."
"What?" Nail couldn't help but hesitated. Even he had heard that Hermes Cathedral is the immortal symbol of Church's. Before the Your Majesty's "Miracle Building" was completed, Tower of Babel was the tallest building constructed by human beings. At the beginning of the Cold Wind Ridge blockade, he also dreamed of following the Your Majesty into the Hermes plateau, occupying this legendary high tower that can reach the sky. But this magnificent building ... does not even exist?
"I heard that a large pit appeared under the church, and the entire tower was trapped ..." The refugee said intermittently, "Judgement Army blocked the site, but such a large building disappeared without a trace, plus Earthquake cracking, everyone knows what happened. Church is about to end, sir, gods no longer cares about it, the residents of the periphery began to flee secretly, we walked a little bit late, and ended up in pursuit. Judgement Army, only a few hundred people escaped from us ... "
"So, is it messy in Holy City?"
"It's a mess, it's a mess ..." The man nodded again and again. "It's not just Ximen, southern gate and Dongmen are left unattended, so it's open, apparently the guards at the gate are all gone. I heard the old Holy City's situation is even worse than the new Holy City, and I really haven't seen a caravan outside the city for a long time. "
"I see, you go down."
After the men took him away, Hawk Face's face looked excited. "This is unexpected good news, maybe we don't have to wait until the army arrives, we can win Hermes in advance."
Nail naturally knows what vice-battation commander is happy with. If it can become the first commander in First Army to step into Holy City, it can undoubtedly add a heavy stroke to the resume. However, at this moment he doesn't care if he can obtain more military achievements. He is concerned about those refugees who have suffered from hunger and cold.
After speaking out the concerns in his heart, Hawk Face took a deep look at him and groaned for a while before answer said, "camp impossible accepts these outsiders, give them some tents and food, and let them camp in a place where heavy machine gun can see them. . "
"Is it in this unobstructed field?" Nail sank in his heart. "If the weather changes, it will snow or a storm, they may not last for one night."
"I am the person in charge of the northern region garrison. I must consider the safety of First Army as the top priority." Hawk Face is unmoved. "I will notify Kant Duke to contain them. Before the help of Quiet Valley Town, these people can It's up to their own luck to live a few more. "
