A wave of arrows descended on the city again, dealing a painful blow to the garrison in the city.
Cow Shit, Fighting Crocodile and others were overjoyed——
"The black powder has been placed!"
They looked through telescopes and exclaimed because of what they saw——
"Who is that person?"
"The city gate is actually open!"
"The last evacuation team has also stopped!"
"..."
"My Lord, is that young man opening the city gate for us?"
"No, there are troops stationed in the city coming out!"
"..."
Niu Shi and others saw all that, even though it was a silent mime, they already knew the general outline.
When Ke Ma was hit by several arrows and fell to his knees without falling, everyone gasped.
"His eyes seemed to be open and he was still looking at me."
"No, that's because he is looking up to our Lord, Balance, and asking for her salvation!"
Niu Shi said: "Immediately order that small team to return to the army and report what happened just now!"
"The whole army retreats!"
"Stay away from the detonation zone!"
Niu Shi quickly came to his senses and gave the order.
Because the power of that ton of black powder is unknown, if there were another stone-throwing attack on the city, the collision might cause an explosion of black powder.
Hundreds of people have been killed and injured tonight, no more sacrifices are allowed.
And when the army retreated.
The garrison on the city wall finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, no one was happy about it.
The bricks and stones of the city wall seemed to have been washed with blood, and there were corpses that were too late to be transported; wherever everyone looked, they looked miserable.
Although the army of judgment has retreated, what about the next wave of impact?
"Keep transporting the boulders!"
"Assemble manpower!"
"Immediately send people to the residences of the garrison affairs officers of each city-state to report the military situation and request all countries to send troops for reinforcements!"
the other side.
The heavily armored infantry returned, and Niu Shi and others also came to the foot of the high platform.
The last team was summoned and was telling what they saw——
"That warrior's name is Kema!"
"It's his elder brother. Ah Hao ordered him to open the city gate to allow us to enter the city!"
"But we don't know the situation. If we can arrange it in advance, we may be able to break into the city without the need for black powder creations!"
After Shanshan and others heard about it, they looked through binoculars and saw the lonely figure kneeling in the open space, all of whom were moved.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo suddenly spoke up, "Quiztitko, do you know this person? Brothers Kema and Ahao?"
"You once let the lame snake enter the city and open the city gate. Was it your arrangement?"
Everyone suddenly turned their heads to look.
Quiztitco had a complicated expression on his face. He pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't know about Kema and Ahao..."
Someone asked: "Then why did you let the lame snake enter the city?"
Quiztitko shook his head and said nothing.
His attitude made everyone anxious, and when they were about to get angry, Zhou Weiguo interrupted: "That's enough, I'm just curious... If it was Queztitco's arrangement, why didn't he inform him in advance!"
"The matter of entering the city is a secret decree of our lord. How can you find out? Don't forget that my lord has issued a decree and is not allowed to be spied on. Those who disobey will be sentenced to annihilation!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone suddenly woke up.
Someone apologized to Quiztitco, "Deputy Inspector, I didn't mean any harm. Please forgive me."
Quiztitko smiled bitterly and said: "Although I cannot mention the secret decree, opening the city gate is indeed not my guidance!"
"This should be their spontaneous action in pursuit of balance."
Wait until everyone's attention is diverted from him.
Quiztitko lowered his eyebrows and began to think...
He seemed to have figured out something, but was still confused.
But he knows.
As long as he enters the city, he will be able to uncover the truth, gain true knowledge, and resonate with the balanced will!
Quiztitco looked aside.
Several heavily armored infantrymen were pointing out the final position of the lead, and someone was soaking the arrows in grease and making final preparations for ignition.
…
Within the city.
The riots continue.
When some city residents saw their dead and injured relatives, they howled incessantly and were expelled by the sergeants.
News of the enemy's repulse began to spread in the city——
"The army of evil spirits has been defeated and fled!"
"I'm waiting for a big victory!"
How could the city residents not know the real situation?
As early as after the injured were evacuated, news began to circulate.
The legions of gods are immortal.
The arrows would not hurt them at all.
They control ferocious beasts like wild bulls, and if they are not stopped by the city walls, they will surely sweep across the land.
But the big city was sealed off a month ago, and they were not allowed to flee; their relatives were also drafted, and they couldn't let go.
Now when I hear the "good news of great victory", I feel no joy, but my eyes are dull, as if I have lost my soul.
Below the city, several sergeants had already run towards the mansions of the noble lords on the hillside.
They came to the nobles and brought good news——
"The demonic army has retreated!"
"We won big!"
"You only need to transport huge stones to defend the city... Please send the message to the host country as soon as possible, sir, and send reinforcements to destroy the evil army."
"..."
In front of Tugo, a sergeant said the rhetoric taught by the general——
If these noble lords are not appeased, Tapong City will be in danger!
However.
How can a group of rough guys compare with these aristocratic gentlemen who are good at conspiracy and calculation?
Tu Ge was already very drunk, but he saw through the false pretense at a glance, "Da Sheng? Dasheng, why are you looking pale?"
"Sir, I was anxious to report the news all the way, so I gasped..."
"Fart!" Tu Ge was furious. After standing up, he strode over and kicked the man kneeling on the ground. "You dare to deceive me?"
"My confidants have long told me that even the people in the city know that the army of judgment must not be harmed by arrows. There are indeed tens of thousands of ferocious beasts in the army!"
"A great victory? You could only kill dozens of people with stones, but you killed and injured hundreds of people!"
"The stones gradually accumulating under the city are building a way for the army of judgment to step onto the high wall, isn't it?"
"You stupid guy, you still try to conceal military information, damn it!"
Tugo rushed forward, pulled out a decorative bronze dagger, and stabbed the sergeant in the neck several times.
The soldier didn't understand until his death...
Why?
Why did he not die under the arrows of the Judgment Army, but died in the hands of the Secretariat?
Tu Ge was covered in blood and panting. He threw the dagger to the old servant beside him and said, "Qiboche, clean up the dagger! Have you packed all my belongings?"
Qi Boche took the dagger and looked at the sergeant unbearably, extremely angry.
But he finally restrained himself, nodded and said: "Master, everything has been packed and ready to go at any time..."
"But, from here, it seems that the city has not been broken. Master, maybe the garrison still has the strength to fight?"
Tugo sneered: "Maybe! But do you know why the city-states of various countries haven't sent troops for so long?"
"Master, this old slave doesn't know."
"Tadong City is to test the ability of the army of judgment, so that the monarchs of various countries can wait and see to judge the situation!"
"If Tadong City can hold on, then it depends on whether the true god will impose divine punishment!"
"If divine punishment comes, the monarchs of all countries will naturally bow their heads and submit!"
"On the other hand, if Tadong City is not destroyed and the true God does not impose divine punishment, all countries will be well..."
"Countries have formed an alliance, and a noble will be the leader of the 'Tadong Kingdom' and will come to guard it!"
"If he hinders the march of the army of judgment, it is a crime he has committed and has nothing to do with all countries!"
Qi Boche was stunned and speechless.
Two years after the divine punishment came, the army of judgment arrived... but the monarchs of various countries still have any luck?
And sent scapegoats to try to deceive the true God!
"Master, the true God has insight into everything in the world. These strategies must be known to her!"
Tu Ge was touched by this sentence, "How did you know that she knows everything about the world? You old dog! Do you just expect me to die!"
!”
He roared hysterically.
He is about to rush towards Qi Boche...
However.
Just then.
--boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
!
A roar that was more violent than thunder and sounded without warning.
The ground beneath their feet shook slightly. Qiboche could still stand firm, but Tuge, who was already drunk, suddenly lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
There was a buzzing in the ears of the master and the servant, covering everything.
But they saw each other's faces shining brightly.
They followed the direction of the light source and looked away.
Enter the eye.
It's a hot fire.
The flames swept through everything within it and rose upwards; causing a brief moment of daylight to appear in the night sky above the city.
A moment later, a mushroom-shaped cloud emerged from the ground and continued to spread into a circle.
The day is gone and replaced by the burning red.
Countless boulders can be seen between the light and shadow, falling in all directions in the sky like a volcanic eruption, accompanied by fierce flames and smashing everywhere.
When the smoke dissipates.
The tall city wall that originally stood at the mouth of the two valleys suddenly collapsed, and a huge hole appeared where the city gate originally stood.
The flames burned the masonry and could not be extinguished.
A sea of fire burned the gloomy night into a sea of red.
At this moment, time in the entire city seemed to freeze.
The citizens and soldiers who were originally agitated in the depression in the city froze in place.
When the light on the faces of Qi Boche and Tu Ge also turned into the burning red on the horizon, time seemed to have resumed its flow——
"God, God's punishment!"
"God's punishment...comes...comes..."
Tugo was mostly sober from the drunkenness, and after he murmured, he exclaimed: "God's punishment is coming, it's God's punishment!
!”
"Qi Boche, hurry! Hurry! Help me up and get out of the city immediately, get out of the city immediately!"
However, Qi Boche did not move for a long time. Staring outside the flames, he saw the shadow of the army on the other side of the fire——
"...%@#￥%!"
A murmur came from his mouth.
Tugo, however, had no patience and yelled like crazy, "Old dog! What are you still talking about?!"
"
"Pull me up! Get out of the city, get out of the city! Do you want to die too? Ah?!
"
Qiboche finally came to his senses.
However, the moment I turned around...
Phew——
He thrust the dagger in his hand into Tugo's chest.
"ah!
Tu Ge stared angrily, looking at him in disbelief. Blood surged into his throat almost instantly, and his words became vague, "You..."
Qi Boche stared at him with a sneer, and then turned the dagger in his hand in a circle——
"I said..."
“Praise for balance!
"
Poof, the dagger was pulled out.
Tuge trembled all over, then fell down softly without making any sound.
And on the side.
Several servants screamed in terror and ran away.
Another person ran over and looked at Qi Boche who was covered in blood, "Father, you..."
His son Dedege watched this scene in shock.
Qi Boqie laughed, extremely happy!
He laughed for a long time before venting the frustration in his heart and said: "The true god's army is about to come!"
"My child, go and welcome them!
"
"Father, then you..."
Qiboche walked up and hugged his son fiercely, "Listen to my words and go! Go and shout her holy name!"
The young man named "Dedege" shed tears. He felt infinite reluctance in his heart, but for some unknown reason, he was driven away by his father's gaze and gradually moved away.
This was a wonderful feeling he had never had before.
But when he saw the sea of fire under the city, his mind gradually became clear...
There is hope and yearning in my heart.
Qiboche watched his son leave, turned around, picked up Tugo's wine bottle, took a sip, turned a blind eye to the belongings, and left down the mountain.
Arrive at the agreed gathering point.
In the courtyard, more than a dozen people knelt on the ground, fearfully worshiping the true God and repenting of their sins.
They were obviously frightened by the divine punishment.
Compared with what they saw two years ago, tonight made them truly realize the supreme power of gods, which is enough to destroy the world.
Qi Boche, on the other hand, seemed calm and said loudly: "That's enough! If you truly believe in the true God, go to her and get close to her, you will naturally be saved!"
"Now that I have arrived, I will keep my promise, guard your sins, and pray for merciful redemption for you and others!"
"I will bear the punishment for all crimes!"
Seeing his calm appearance, more than a dozen people gradually calmed down.
Someone asked: "Qiboche, what should I do now?"
Qi Boqie said: "Wait! Wait for the angel of God to come and judge our sins!"
"Don't panic, you are already a balanced citizen!"
But at this moment, someone stood up: "Qiboche, I can't wait, I want to find my brother."
"Your brother?"
"Kema! He, he is in the city guard..."
Everyone was shocked, "Ahaao, why didn't you bring him along?"
The middle-aged man named "Ahao" found it difficult to speak.
Qi Boche guessed a little, and then said: "There must be chaos in the city now. Even if you look for him, you can't find him!"
"Does your brother know about this stronghold?"
"He knows."
"If he is still alive, he will come to you!"
"Wait, wait for the arrival of God's messenger!"
When hundreds of thousands of people in Tapong City were shocked.
In fact, the more than 40,000 troops outside the city were also silent.
The fire soaring into the sky is like the end of the world.
At the moment of the explosion, the sand and gravel on the ground seemed to turn into a layer of rolling waves, sweeping towards them.
The stones hit everyone, making a dense collision sound.
The group of war horses that had been sent to the rear a long time ago also became panicked and agitated, with hundreds of horses running away.
"God's punishment——"
"This is the wrath of God's punishment!"
The same exclamation as the people of Tapong City pervaded the army.
So, people knelt down and worshiped one after another.
No fear.
Some are just awe and piety——
"Praise my Lord, praise the balance!"
"O my Lord, please keep your glory with your people and give us joy and peace!"
"We are willing to dedicate our bodies and souls so that our descendants will follow you from generation to generation, serve at your knees, and listen to your precepts..."
"Tell us not to see falsehood in a blink of an eye, and to live in your way!"
