[059] Pain
The town of Gret in the early morning is quiet and beautiful until one day...
After a loud bang, a house collapsed and a huge black beetle slowly advanced.
On the back of the beetle, dozens of lion, ant, bee warriors stood together, all staring at the towering wall not far from the town, and Leiden City arrived.
A noble hunting team was fleeing wildly. They were ragged and covered in blood, all of them were pale and fleeing in horror. The huge beetle behind them had become their most feared nightmare.
Too many.
Not long after they left the city, they encountered huge beetles, with lion, ant, bee warriors on their backs.
Just a meeting, their captain, deputy captain, big shield, spearman, and archer were attacked by the hidden weapon thrown by the other party.
Seeing that the opportunity was not good, they quickly turned around and ran away, using the trees to cover them, trying to get rid of the attacks of these monsters, but they couldn't escape and had no way to escape.
In the town of Gret, countless residents just woke up from their sleep, and then they heard the houses collapsed, the residents screaming and screaming.
Merrown is the number one hunter in Gret Town and the so-called number one warrior.
He once entered the deep mountains and forests alone, hunted a colorful leopard as a betrothal gift, got the mayor's nod and married the mayor's daughter.
Yesterday, his wife took her daughter back to her father-in-law's house, but it was not far away. One was in the east and the other was in the west, just half an hour away.
Grett Town is close to Leiden City. Strictly speaking, it is actually the extension of Leiden City. It is just a little distance away, making it very convenient to enter and exit the city. So although it is just a small town, it is actually not much smaller than a medium-sized city.
Merron knew very well that when his wife's anger disappeared, she would come back at most three days, so he was happy to be idle.
I miss my wife when I don’t have a wife, and I miss my wife when I have a wife... I miss my wife to die.
Although Merrone has not reached the extreme level of "promoting and getting rich and losing his wife", he doesn't mind enjoying being single occasionally.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud bang dispelled Merron's hangover last night, and he opened his eyes all at once.
The house was pitch black, and the curtains blocked all the light outside the windows, and he heard screams one after another.
"What happened, are there bandits attacking?"
Merron immediately got up and landed, put on his shoes and took the bow and arrow from the wall, and quickly hung the arrow bag around his waist. He walked to the window and quietly pulled the curtains, and his eyes suddenly shrank the next moment.
In the distance, several lion, ant, bee warriors stood on the back of a huge black beetle. They held a strange crystal in their hands and threw it out. The residents who were running on the street suddenly fell to the ground, their bodies were pierced through a big hole, and their intestines and blood flowed all over the ground.
"brute!"
Merrone knew the residents who were shot and killed, one of them was his childhood friend. However, everyone has been busy in recent years, so their relationship has faded a little.
But when he witnessed the other party being killed with his own eyes, he still felt an uncontrollable anger.
He quickly took out an arrow and prepared to quietly shoot the lion ants and bee warriors on the beetle's back.
However, before he could shoot an arrow, an arrow shot at the lion ant bee warrior at an extremely fast speed, but it seemed to land on the lion ant bee warrior on an iron plate, and it had no effect at all.
He immediately looked in the direction where the arrow was shooting, and saw the captain of the town's guards on the roof in the distance, pulling the bow and shooting arrows with an angry look on his face.
But the arrow was really useless. The second arrow shot out still did not break the defense. A lion ant bee warrior raised his hand and flashed his hand. The crystal was thrown out directly. The captain of the guard team exploded on the spot, and blood and brain matter flew across it. The scene made Mauron shake his hand and quickly put down the bow and arrow.
These monsters are so scary, and the bows and arrows are completely useless!
"No, it may not be useless."
Merron quickly denied his judgment, just like a turtle, and arrows shot in the turtle shell would not hurt the turtle, but he could shoot the turtle's head, eyes, and mouth, and there were always weaknesses.
The weaknesses of these monsters must be found!
He took a deep breath and looked to the west of the town, hoping that his wife and daughter would be safe.
The west is closer to Leiden City. As long as you escape into Leiden City, these monsters will definitely have no choice but to Leiden City. After all, the walls of Leiden City are very high.
Now all he needs to do is observe, find the weaknesses of these monsters, and shoot them to avenge the dead in the town.
He quickly left the house and when he left, he also brought some dry cakes made by his wife a few days ago.
These dried cakes are foods he usually eats when he goes out to hunt. They can exist for many days and are a secret that is not passed down at his home.
Poor families often have nothing good, and good things can be passed on to the family line.
Don't underestimate this piece of dry cake.
Back then, Merron's grandfather relied on the 60-year-old dried cakes he passed on from his family's ancestors to survive the famine, otherwise Merron would not exist at all.
Merrone patted his chest and said those few pieces of dry cakes were his confidence. If he had food on his body, he would not be afraid of any crisis.
He hugged his waist and ran quickly between the houses, following closely around the big beetle, observing the body structure of the lion ants and bee warriors, he found that the lion ants and bee warriors had a very flaw in their heads, but there was a circle of manes similar to lions and tigers under his neck, which looked a bit like a human, but the skin gave him a feeling of a kind of hard shell of a beetle, especially those joints, with very obvious characteristics.
The backs of these lion ants and bee warriors seem to have a pair of very, very small wings, which are only the size of a palm. As for whether they can fly, it is hard to say.
And what is the use of that tail?
right.
These lion, ant, bee warriors actually retained a very, very short tail, about thirty centimeters, and were big and stubborn, so I don't know what it is for.
On the next road, the lion, ant, bee warriors did not fail to encounter resisters, but encountered many.
In order to cover his wife and children to escape, Ximen, the butcher in Zhendong, took the initiative to attack the big beetle with a pig-killing knife, but before he got close, he was caught in the giant beetle's huge clip, and then his head was bitten off and eaten bit by bit.
After seeing that scene, Merrone almost couldn't help it, but in the end he just pulled the bow tightly and aimed it without the courage to shoot the arrow out.
He knew that if this arrow was shot, it would not only not save anyone, but he might also catch it.
"Beasts, animals, animals, animals..."
Finally, he put down the bow in his hand powerlessly, slapped himself hard, and kept cursing with red eyes.
Unfortunately, the butcher Ximen did not protect his wife Jinlian, and even his son Dalang was not saved. After Ximen's death, the lion, ant, bee warrior threw crystals, and the two who were running away were shot dead on the spot. The scene was so miserable.
"Why haven't the army of Leiden City come yet? Isn't anyone informing me?" Merron's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help looking at Leiden City. The towering wall was once the area he wanted to enter.
Buying a house in Leiden City and becoming a city man from then on was his lifelong dream.
But now he hopes that the city gate will be opened and an invincible cavalry will support them. It turns out that he is so Agret Town.
While he was thinking in a daze, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind. He couldn't help but frown and turned around. He saw a lion, ant, bee warrior pulling an unrecognizable person out of the bushes, and his eyes were facing each other...
...
Yatangshan, refuge.
The rebellion is over.
Dozens of Jin family members were taken into custody in a corner, all kneeling on the ground, their hands tied up with ropes, and their faces were depressed.
The fat old man sat not far away, his face turned pale, staring at the few people kneeling on the ground in front of him.
He once had high hopes for these people, some were among the best soldiers in the clan, and some were scholars who had read more than ten thousand books, but they participated in the rebellion today.
"Why has the Jin family been standing still? You all know and understand that you are just greedy." Jin Dingtian glared at these people, clenched his fists and said angrily.
He could not want these treasures, and he could not even want Yatangshan, but he did not want the backbone of the family, and his backbone was gone in his generation.
The spirit of the family is the most precious wealth, and everything else is false.
"The success and defeat of the enemy, Jin Dingtian, kill him, sooner or later, the Jin family will be destroyed because of you. You will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Jin family and be despised by all the Jin family's children." A burly young man looked up and sneered.
The fat old man looked at the young man, finally closed his eyes and sighed a long time.
In fact, he was not sure whether he was doing it right. If there was no such rebellion, the other party would discuss with him what choice he would make.
After all, the other party had assumed from the beginning that he would not agree and was ready to kill him, so he certainly would not choose to compromise.
But what if we discuss it carefully from the beginning?
Will he agree?
have no idea.
The fat old man knew very well that the other party was right, but this choice did go against the spirit of the family.
The treasure of Yatangshan is too heavy, and it is enough to arouse suspicion from the major lords, and even suspect that they may usurp power. Once the news is leaked, not only will the nobles attack them, but also all of their tribe members who wander outside and hold important positions among the nobles will be in danger.
This is a very realistic situation.
The nobles' trust in the Jin family has been accumulated over hundreds of years. Once the trust is gone, the Jin family will be in danger.
Adhere to tradition, adhere to family spirit, or kill people to silence and protect the family.
This is indeed a dilemma. The fat old man chose the former, and these people chose the latter. In essence, both sides were for the family, but the latter was based on the choice made on the premise of sacrificing innocent people.
Simply put, if you are not a relative or accustomed, you will kill it. Why can’t it be done to protect the family?
The fat old man understood the other person's thoughts, so he felt helpless, heartbroken and disappointed. In fact, he would rather not appear in Yatangshan's treasures and be buried underground forever, which is the best result.
Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do, things have happened, we can only make choices.
Kill your own people or your friends.
While the fat old man was in pain, he seemed to have grown up for dozens of years in an instant. The fat face, which was originally full of red, had many wrinkles. He said hoarsely: "Kim Xianzhong, Kim Fanzui, Kim Jae-jung, Kim Yu-hoon, Kim Jae-won, Kim Lai-fu, Kim Hee-che, Kim Ji-fan, Kim Jun-hyun, Kim Da-soo, attempted to murder his clan members, and behead him according to the clan's instructions. Kim Dong, drag them down and give them a pleasure."
All the tribe members fell into silence, and Jin Dong quietly stepped forward and pulled each other away with a few people.
