The infinite journey of knights

Chapter 64 The Hourglass of the End

When Yatimu and Deli met again, it was already very late.

"Yatimu, you're back."

In the quiet room, Deli looked at Yatimu in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"Wounds on your body"

Looking at Deli in front of him, Yatimu couldn't help frowning.

Deli is in a bad state at the moment.

There were scars all over his body, and a huge gash was cut across his entire chest, which looked quite terrifying.

It is precisely because of this injury that Deli is already lying on the bed and can barely get up.

As for other violent actions, it is impossible to do it at all.

"During the time you left, I took people to fight those damned monsters, and I almost lost my life there."

Mentioning the previous situation, Deli couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face: "After all, I'm not as strong as you, and I can't easily deal with those monsters."

"Don't say that."

Yatimu comforted him and said: "Everyone has their own specialties. Compared with me, you are more suitable to be a commander who is responsible for commanding the army in the rear, rather than as a charging warrior, fighting with those demonized creatures. Fighting on the front line."

"maybe."

Deli smiled, showing a self-deprecating look: "But what I look like now, I can't even command in the past."

"It's also a good thing that you came back, Yadimu, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

He sighed, and then said, "How is the situation on Seth's side?"

"not bad."

Yatimu nodded and said, "The number of monsters there is relatively small, and the pressure is far less than here."

"I've been there for a while, so there should be no problem."

"The food he promised will be delivered after a while, and the time will not be long."

"That's good."

Hearing the news, a smile appeared on Deli's face.

In Xiliu Town right now, apart from the threat of monsters, the food crisis is also obvious.

At the time of the catastrophe, food was scarce everywhere, even though Seth had taken a considerable number of refugees with him when he left, the pressure was still great.

Under such circumstances, it would be the best news if Seth could bring food.

Even for this food, they need to pay a high price.

After all, compared to the famine, other things are not too important for the time being.

"The way I look now, I can't command for the time being."

After chatting for a while, Deli revealed his final intention: "During the period of my recuperation, I hope that you will be the commander of Stream Town to protect the safety of everyone in this area."

"Yatimu, what's your opinion?"

Hearing this, Yatimu couldn't help hesitating.

On the side, the countdown of the hourglass is still going on, and it is very close to the end.

But on the other hand, facing the terrifying pressure in Xiliu Town and Deli's expectant eyes, he really couldn't bear to refuse.

So after pondering for a moment, he still nodded: "I will try my best."

"Then it's fine."

Deli seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I can't believe in your ability."

"With you here, this town will be safe and sound."

"I believe that more than anyone."

While speaking, he showed a smile on his face, as if he had let go of something on his mind.

On that day, Yadimu succeeded Deli and became the commander of Xiliu Town.

After Deli was injured, Xiliu Town at this moment has actually become a mess.

Deli was lying on the hospital bed, unable to effectively command the surrounding guards at all. They could only be stationed in their own areas and be on guard against the demonized creatures attacking everywhere.

Passive defense, which is obviously not in line with Yatimu's style.

At this moment, there are more and more demonized creatures gathering around. If you don't take the initiative to attack now and reduce the pressure, it will probably be even more terrifying when you arrive.

So on the next day, Yadimu took the initiative to attack.

In order to ensure speed, he did not bring infantry, but all warriors who could ride horses, and headed towards the large group of demonized creatures.

For a time, the results were quite obvious.

The demonized creatures are also scattered among them. Except for a few times, these demonized creatures will reach a consensus. Most of the time, these demonized creatures are entrenched in their respective places, forming small groups.

In normal times, these demons live around in small groups, with each group ranging from dozens to hundreds of people.

The scene where hundreds of demons gather like before is quite rare and special.

This small group method undoubtedly gave Yatimu every opportunity to break through.

Once the monsters gather, the damage they cause is quite terrifying, but if they are scattered, then that's it, it's nothing.

So at the beginning, Yatimu's actions were quite smooth.

After awakening the seed of life and being promoted to a knight, his strength has increased a lot, and now he is like a humanoid monster, so powerful that it is suffocating.

Even the so-called powerful demons are easily hit in front of Yatimu.

Under his leadership, the demons everywhere were gradually defeated.

Of course, although this tactic is easy to use, it can only have such a good effect if it is used by Yatimu.

If Deli and others come, then the result is likely to be the same as that of Deli before, who was directly beaten and seriously injured.

The difference in personal strength between Yatimu and Deli is the biggest factor in whether this tactic can be implemented.

In the successive fights, whether it was Yatimu or others, their progress was huge.

Gradually, they began to get used to this kind of fighting, and the whole body was gradually tempered.

However, in the ensuing period of time, the situation gradually changed.

A few days later, the monsters outside seemed to have reacted and began to make targeted moves.

In the past, there were many small settlements of demons with dozens of people on the plain outside Xiliu Town, but they are no longer visible.

But as far as the eye can see, there are at least two hundred demons gathered around, and the distance between them is quite close.

They even learned to support them. When a demon tribe was attacked, the nearby demon tribes would rush over.

Yatim had encountered it once before.

In that encounter, if Yatimu hadn't reacted quickly enough, I'm afraid they would have suffered a lot of losses.

All these performances made Yatim feel uneasy instinctively.

Although demons have wisdom, they are far inferior to normal humans. According to common sense, they should not be able to do this.

Not to mention the mutual support between monsters, which requires a strong coordination ability.

Ordinary demonized creatures never have this ability.

There must be a problem.

Yatimu gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.

Compared with the external pressure, the more serious facts are in front of him at this moment.

At noon, the sun shone on the earth, illuminating Yatim's face brightly.

Standing under this patch of sunlight, Yatimu stared fixedly at his eyes.

There, a golden hourglass emerged, and grains of gravel fell from it, and it was almost at the end.

Yes, Yatim's time has finally come.

In fact, counting the days, Yatimu's time should have arrived a few days ago.

It was he who tried every means to delay, which slowed down the speed of the hourglass a lot, and this gave him a few days more time to deal with it.

But no matter how much it is delayed, the hourglass will finally come to an end at this moment.

When the last grain of sand fell, the golden hourglass in front of him slowly burst into light golden brilliance.

A layer of familiar golden light is about to envelop Yatimu's whole body.

Everything seems to be the same as in the past, ushering in a new beginning.

But Yatimu didn't want to do that.

If it was a normal time, he would leave as soon as he left.

But at this moment, as the commander of Xiliu Town, once he leaves, it will have a huge impact on the current situation.

To put it bluntly, the morale of the entire Xiliu Town Guard, which had been so hard to improve, would collapse directly because of this.
