Chapter 149 Prisoners

The solid city wall cannot defend against the beginning of the collapse inside. Even with the most solid defense system in the world, personnel are still the weakest part of the defense.

In history, many cities that are said to be difficult to attack have endured waves of offensives with their solid city defense, but they were eventually disintegrated by the enemy. The most well-known story is naturally recorded in the chapter "Woodell City" in the dictionary of the Holy Bishop.

"If the records in the Holy Book contain some real and reliable components, then the scale of Woodall City may be quite huge, even in the mythical age, is an extremely rare giant city. Such a city naturally has an unbreakable defense system, but it was captured by the demons with strategies."

While speaking, Liqi had already sat back on the chair lazily, while operating the spell at the same time as if random. Next to the boy, an inconspicuous white "butterfly" flew up and down under the control of the spell, reflecting the captured surrounding information on the wall of the workroom.

"Since that little devil likes this example, I'll use this example to make it." She yawned again and looked at the young man in the picture with sleepy eyes. "Woodell's prisoner was originally an ordinary guard in their city, but he didn't know what the consequences would bring about by his actions."

If the frontal attack method cannot break through a collectively constructed wall of defense, their enemies will begin to consider using methods other than frontal attacks. Traitors, traitors, spies... they cannot isolate these people by relying on the city wall alone, and even the most stable city will be captured by their strength.

As if to cater to what Liqi said, Curt silently recited the words in the holy book: "Passenger. Please listen to the last words of a dead sinner... tell the people of the nations the sin I have committed, so that they can remember the regrets of the Woodells..."

The sentences he recited were written in "The Book of the Holy? The Biography of the Sages", which is the first sentence of the fourth chapter "The City of Woodell". The story of this chapter is told by an unknown "Woodell Prisoner" to the four sages strolling in the wilderness. They are then recorded in the story of the Book of Holy.

In fact, the authenticity of this story is no longer verified, but its scope of circulation has almost made all believers of the Holy Lord feel that it is a "historical event". In the derivative creations of later generations, this story has become a variety of novels and dramas that are well-known to people.

Liqi was very satisfied with Curt's foil, and she nodded and said, "If we did not consider the story of the 'prisoners' described in the Holy Book, the Woodls and their cities did exist-because there are records about them in the history books of the Demons. And the archaeological discoveries against them also prove that there were civilization groups in the places described in the records... although it has long been the territory of the Demons now."

The city of Woodall described in the story is built on the wasteland in the north of the Old Continent - at that time the moon was not broken, and there were many plains suitable for human habitation on the wasteland. Woodalls grew up in this huge area dominated by the wasteland, forming unified countries.

"Of course. I don't think the Woodalls would believe in the Holy Lord, and it is even less likely that they would pray to several 'sages' of unknown origins and ask for redemption... After all, this belief should have arisen at the end of the mythological age. Scholars have found no evidence of widespread belief before the moon was broken."

Well, let's not mention this - Liqi took the initiative to bring back the topic of running away - in short, the demon who began to expand for the first time encountered the Woodls on the wasteland. Because of civilization, interests and other issues, the two sides inevitably fought.

History has vaguely recorded this war. However, this should be regarded as the first comprehensive war between humans and demons. Unfortunately, it was a one-sided war from the beginning. The Woodalls may be a powerful nation, but they have no resistance under the offensive of demons.

The physical ability and magic level of the demons were stronger than that of the Woodals, who were humans, and the skills they mastered were more advanced than those of the Woodals. So less than a few months after the war started, the Woodals' army retreated step by step, and eventually surrounded their capital by the demons' army.

"According to relevant records... I know that those things may not be reliable, but there is nothing to use." Liqi said slowly, "In short, although the Woodalls did not have the power to fight when facing the demon's offensive, the war was still crushed one-sidedly."

When not using special abilities, the appearance of demons and humans is very similar. Humans have different appearances due to their different regions and blood ties, and there are similar individual differences between demons - so in the mouth of "Woodell Prisoner", it is these demons who act as spies.

The prisoner told the sages that he brought back several companions who were captured with him - but he did not know that these people who should be companions were actually pretended to be demons. The reason they were able to escape was because the demons wanted to let those disguisers mingle into the city of Woodall.

The ending of the story is basically expected here. Woodall's city was captured from the inside. The demons disguised as Woodalls poisoned the wells and created chaos in the city. Finally, when the demons' army sieges the city, they raided the defenders and took the opportunity to open the city gate.

The devil's historical record only wrote a few dozen words about the final result of this war, which is far less detailed than the holy book's claim that the whole city was slaughtered. No matter how the war was finally resolved, the Woodells' country has completely perished under the attack of the devil. The "prisoner" who led the wolf into the house was locked in a cage on the wasteland and could only look at the destroyed home day after day to mourn.

At this point, Liqi suddenly laughed maliciously - although the boy once described her actions as "a demon who plays sweet words", he seemed to have forgotten his purpose, and their behavior was actually closer to a demon who disguised as a Woodel.

She was like mocking the boy’s actions: “Since he wants to be a ‘martyr,’ I’ll give him a chance to become a martyr. But before that, he might have to act as a ‘prisoner’ first—and I just want to see if he will be enlightened.”

The young man in the illusion projection has been walking in several circles on the street. He has been walking through the unwalking path. Every time he takes a few steps, he has to look around to see if there are suspicious people following him. This suspicious look seems quite suspicious. If he hadn't deliberately chosen the path that is rarely visited, this strange look would undoubtedly attract many people's curious eyes.

Maybe the boy thought he was cautious enough, but he didn't know that two pairs of eyes were watching his actions through the butterfly dancing beside him. Unconsciously, he had already disclosed a lot of information to the two, but he was ignorant and still acted in this way.

However, such meaningless caution was over after three or four rounds of back and forth at the same street intersection. After a while, the boy ran straight to the alley leading to the slums. Perhaps there was no doubt that there was no doubt in his sight, and his suspicion was also dispelled.

The crisscrossing paths were like the boy's back garden, like a maze road in front of him, which was a familiar place. After a while, the boy passed through several blocks according to his habits and finally arrived in the alleyway located in the corner of the slums.

The illegally built shacks filled the roads, and dirty waste accumulated in every part of the street - this is a ground-level residential area that municipalities rarely visited. Almost all the people living here are poor people dressed like teenagers, and they are abandoned people who are about to be swallowed by the darkness of Katris.

The sun had risen in mid-air. It was supposed to be a period of pedestrians, but the streets here were shrouded in strange silence. The boy read a little something wrong with the air. He slowed down and walked carefully on the streets of the slums without any trace.

The familiar streets in the past seemed so strange at this time, as if something that shouldn't exist was living here. The boy looked around nervously, and the current situation really made him dare not relax his vigilance... He even felt that if he was accidentally torn apart by a monster lurking in the dark.

Step by step, the boy walked quietly and quietly approached a stone house with his breath. This might be the only building nearby that looked like a house. The thick wooden door was covered with a faint trot, and the boy trotted two steps nervously, then pushed it away with force.

For a moment, the boy was stunned.

The picture returned through the "butterfly" is a dazzling red color, and the slightly dim building interior is stained with a sticky blood. This looks like a simple sermon hall, but it is placed here with dozens of dilapidated human bodies.

The person who created this scene was somewhat acquaintance - the spell wrapped in a black robe was dipping in red blood on the walls of the sermon hall. The short spear of black iron was embedded in the ground, and each of them was accurately nailed through the victim's body.

"It seems that they are performing the 'cleaning' much faster than I expected." Liqi stared at the scene that appeared in the picture, tapping the armrest of the chair with her fingers. "If you don't want to watch him get solved by that guy, I think you need to help the little devil."

Hearing the sound of the boy pushing open the wooden door, the black-robed magician standing in the sea of ​​corpses and blood slowly turned around. He looked at the boy with cold eyes. The blood-stained black iron spears instantly pulled up from the corpses on the ground with his movements, bringing out a few bright red strands.

There are many ways to avoid being disintegrated internally - to eliminate all the objects that may become treacherous people, which is probably one of the most concise and cruel methods. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
