Text Chapter 347 Plague
Including the Tiebu Camp, there were more than 50,000 corpses of human soldiers outside the city, all of which were eaten by the armored demons, but these armored demons seemed to have fallen into a state of hunger and madness again, which made Lin Muyu unspeakably chilled. It is enough to prove that the number of armored demons is at least ten times that of the first day. Now there are at least 100,000 armored demons surrounding Winterfrost City, not to mention 200,000.
...
"careful."
Qin Yan yelled loudly, but it was too late. With a "puff", a soldier of the Temple Battalion was pierced by an iron spear thrown by the armored demon under the city. The force was too great, and the iron spear passed through his heart. When he fell down It was already a corpse.
This is the most powerful and only long-range attack method of armored demons. Although their throwing accuracy is poor, once they hit it, they are almost certain to die. This is how the corpses of imperial soldiers in the city were created.
Lin Muyu shot arrows down the city wall one after another as if no one was around. In the first form of the Star Jue, the profound strength of the starburst was poured into the arrows, almost killing the armored demon one by one. Min Zhan, Wang Xi and others were amazed, this is the cultivation level of the people in the temple.
As a result, a thick layer of armored demon corpses was piled up under the city wall in front of Lin Muyu, which also attracted more armored demons, and they continued to shoot with iron spears. The iron spear is very terrifying. Fortunately, Lin Muyu is not afraid of such an attack at all. The golden light emerges around his body, and the gourd wall is enough to resist. What's more, there is a thick layer of battle armor on his body. It is even more difficult for these armored monsters to hurt him. It is even more difficult.
The armored demon's siege lasted until late at night, and they finally receded like a tide.
A marching officer came over, glanced at the corpses piled up outside the city in astonishment, cupped his fists and said respectfully: "Deacon, you shot and killed these armored demons alone."
"No, I shot it together with everyone." Lin Muyu said.
The marching officer was stunned, and said: "The bravery of the chief deacon may surpass that of General Du Hai."
Lin Muyu's expression darkened: "Unfortunately, the general died at the hands of Lei Chong."
On the side, Qin Yan smiled and said: "Master Counselor, aren't you responsible for collecting the heads and so on to record the military exploits? My elder brother shot at least one person today; he killed hundreds of armored demons. How should the military exploits be counted?"
The marching counselor respectfully clasped his fists and said: "My lord, with the merits of the great deacon, he is the first among a hundred demons, and he can be promoted to the head of the ten thousand husbands. However, the chief deacon is the chief deacon of the temple, and he may be promoted to the commander."
Qin Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then after returning to the imperial capital, you have to justify my elder brother's name. Hmph, it's totally unreasonable for such a person with outstanding achievements to be excluded and unable to enter the imperial military system."
The counselor trembled, and said with a smile: "These things... the last general is just a small official in the army, I don't know there are so many..."
"Hmph, just tell the truth."
"Yes, as long as the general returns to Lanyan City alive, he must truthfully report the deacon's merits in this battle."
"Okay, it's a deal."
After dismissing the marching officers, Marquis Min Yulin of Shenwei walked up to the city wall surrounded by a group of generals. Looking at the vastness outside the city and the corpses of imperial soldiers on the aisle of the city wall, he frowned and said, "The demons' attack is getting worse and worse. It's fierce, it seems that they also feel that our food and grass are seriously insufficient."
Lin Muyu said: "Your Majesty, if they really want us to starve to death in the city, there is no need to forcibly attack the city like this. The dead armored demons are just wasted in vain."
"The major general thinks there is fraud in it." Min Yulin asked in surprise.
"Well, at least it's unusual." Lin Muyu said calmly.
"So..." Min Yulin said: "We have nothing to do, we can only take one step at a time, trying to delay the attack of the demons as much as possible, and hope that the reinforcements will arrive sooner."
"yes."
"The armored demons have already left, open the city gate to draw the arrows, otherwise the arrows in the city will be exhausted in two days."
"yes."
...
After Min Yulin left, Lin Muyu took Qin Yan, Shen Han and others out of the city to pull out their arrows. After defending the city for so many days, pulling out their arrows seemed to be a daily task. Except for them, Min Zhan, Xu Ying, Chai Hong and other commanders The generals also took people out of the city to draw arrows one after another, but not many people were brought, in case the demons came back and lost too much damage.
"puff……"
When Qin Yan pulled out a white diamond arrow from the mouth of a demon, strands of green blood splashed out, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "What the hell, this demon Why is his blood green?"
On the other side, Shen Han also nodded and said: "It's the same here, today's armored demon is actually green blood, what's going on."
Lin Muyu said: "Anyway, they are some monsters. Whatever it is, clean up the arrows and don't touch them with your hands to prevent infection. After returning to the camp, remember to wash the arrows with boiling water, otherwise they can't be used anymore. I understand. ."
"yes."
Although Shen Han nodded in acceptance, he asked in amazement: "Deacon, why do you wash it with boiling water? I haven't seen such a strange method for so many years. Could it make the arrow sharper?"
"No." Lin Muyu simply explained: "I'm just worried that the armored demon has a virus on its body. We can't bear this kind of germ toxin, so we need to disinfect it. Anyway... it's always better to be more cautious. This method of burning with boiling water It's called 'disinfection', but most of you don't understand it at all."
Qin Yan and Shen Han nodded together: "I really don't understand at all..."
"I knew it."
At night, after returning to the camp, he was exhausted, and the dinner he could get was only half a marching pancake. Lin Muyu sat on the millstone next to the camp in the temple, watching from a distance as Shen Han and the others disinfected the arrows, while holding Vegetable soup, chewing noodle cakes, at this time Qin Yan came over, handed two thick big cakes to Lin Muyu, and said with a smile: "Brother, eat more to have the strength to kill the enemy .”
"Where did you come from?" Lin Muyu asked in surprise.
Qin Yan smiled slightly: "The people in the Linghuo Division are all from us, and it's not easy to get two more cakes."
Lin Muyu stretched out his hand to push, returned the big cake to Qin Yan, and said, "A Yan, eat it, I've had enough."
"Brother, don't lie. You are young and strong. How can you be full if you don't even have one or two half of the cake? You are the commander of our temple battalion. If you don't have the strength to kill the enemy, what will the soldiers do?" " Qin Yan's face was flushed, he was still too young and immature, although his cultivation was astonishing, he still looked like a child.
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay then, each of us will share half."
"Okay, that's right."
Qin Yan put the spear aside, picked up the vegetable soup and smelled it, and said with a smile: "I used to feel too tired of drinking broth, but now I feel relish when I eat this vegetable soup, hey, interesting."
Lin Muyu was a little sad, and said: "A Yan, it's all my fault for bringing you into this Jedi, you are still young, you shouldn't have died here, but don't worry, I will do my best to bring you back to Lanyan City alive of."
Qin Yan was taken aback, his eyes were a little red, and he said: "Brother, what are you talking about, since my brother died in battle, Ah Yan has long regarded you as his only family member. You, Lin Muyu, are my Qin Yan's eldest brother, and you will always be my brother." Yes, if it is true that we all died in battle here, Ah Yan will never regret it, it’s just that you are different, Her Royal Highness and Princess Xi love you so much, you should have lived happily together, but It's not a humiliating death in this ghost place..."
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "My good brother, definitely not, we can get out of Lingdong alive."
"Um."
...
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Muyu woke up leisurely. The seven luminous profound energy and the energy of the stars in her body slowly swirled, and there was a feeling of mutual radiance. These two forces did not conflict with each other, which was a good thing.
"Elder Deacon, are you awake?" Shen Han's voice came from outside the tent.
Lin Muyu got up and put on armor, and said, "I'm awake, what's wrong."
"Something has happened."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Early this morning, many brothers were sick. They had a headache and fever. Many people's eyes were filled with blood. I don't know what happened. Come and see, Chief Deacon."
"Um."
Lin Muyu hurried out of the tent, Qin Yan, Shen Han and others were waiting, went to the wounded soldiers camp, and saw sick soldiers lying on the ground from a distance, almost all of them had the same symptoms, their faces were red, their foreheads He had a high fever, and the eye circles were blood red, and he was weak all over, and the high fever did not go away.
"What's going on?" Lin Muyu asked.
"There have been people with this strange disease since last night." A medical officer from the Department of Essence Medicine said respectfully: "My lord, we can't diagnose what their disease is. And after these sick patients were sent, they actually infected the original wounded soldiers here who also had a high fever."
"Isolate all the people with persistent high fever." Lin Muyu said lightly: "Don't let them contact anyone to prevent further infection."
"yes."
Lin Muyu looked at Qin Yan and said, "Ayan, find out which army the sick soldiers belong to and what similar things they have done."
Qin Yan nodded: "Yes."
Not long after, Qin Yan went back and forth, saying, "Brother, we found out. Almost every one of these soldiers participated in the task of 'drawing arrows' after the war yesterday."
"Those demons really..."
Lin Muyu gritted his teeth, punched a stone pillar beside him, and said angrily: "We were fooled. The armored demons who attacked the city yesterday were all armored demons who were already infected. The demons are so ruthless. They want to send the plague into Dongshuang. In the city."
"Then... what about these sick brothers?" Qin Yan asked.
"I don't know either, let's wait for the Lord to come."
"Um."
Not long after, Min Yulin rode his horse to the wounded barracks. Lin Muyu immediately explained the situation briefly, but Min Yulin's expression was very serious and he remained silent.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? More and more people are infected with the plague." Su Wentian said eagerly, "Even several commanders of my subordinates were infected with the plague together."
"The demons want to drive us all to extinction..."
Min Yulin closed his eyes in pain, his eyelids trembling constantly, and murmured: "The wounded barracks are sealed off, no one can get close to it, and all those infected with the plague are buried immediately, and no one is allowed to disobey."
"Are... buried the soldiers of the empire alive?" Su Wentian looked shocked,
