Doomsday Totem

Chapter 360 Resignation
"Ahh!" "Wow!"

As soon as Tie Slag rushed out of the pit, he saw two men lying on the ground crying with smoke all over their bodies not far away.Immediately afterwards, more than ten figures appeared between the broken walls.Seeing that there were many people on the other side, Tie Slag immediately took off the flash bomb hanging on his chest, bit the tab, and smashed it out with a ding.

"Peng..."

The people who rushed over just now saw nothing but a flash of white light.At the same time as the flash bomb was thrown, Iron Slag turned around and ran, while running, the six jointed legs popped out from behind, and crawled rapidly in the ruins with hands and feet.

"Chasing!" A few seconds later, the Scarecrow, who had recovered from the blindness, yelled and tensed his back at the same time. The two jointed limbs broke through the clothes immediately, and opened into two pairs of membranous wings, one large and one small. "Om..." With a sound, it flapped its membrane wings and flew towards the fleeing prey.At the same time, the two men also spread their membrane wings and chased after him from left to right.

The iron slag from the strenuous exercise, the wound was torn again, and the bright red blood immediately stained the clean bandage.However, before he could care about the pain of the wound, he heard the buzzing sound of the flapping membrane wings from behind, and immediately frowned. While crawling forward, he drew out his pistol and blasted towards the rear.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

In an instant, the man on the left stopped and flew back, spraying blood.

"Kill him!" Seeing his companion fall, the scarecrow yelled.The man on the right immediately picked up his assault rifle, and a shuttle of bullets swept over.

"Ding ding dong dong ding ding dong dong..."

In the next second, more than ten rounds of bullets grazed the air and rushed out, hitting the iron slag with sparks everywhere, but there was no injury, not even a pause.In front of the sharp-edged carapace, ordinary gunpowder bullets are useless at all, unless large-caliber sniper bullets like red silk armor-piercing bullets can penetrate his defense.

"Don't waste bullets!" Seeing this, the scarecrow quickly stopped his men from continuing to shoot.In resource-poor southern cemeteries, every bullet counts.Afterwards, Iron Slag fled quickly on the ground, and the two chased after him in the air.

"He's injured, consume him to death." A few minutes later, the scarecrow saw Iron Slag's injury and issued another order.

After fleeing for about ten minutes, Iron Slag's blood flowed more and more, and his body became weaker and weaker, but the two flying worms behind him followed him at a distance of more than [-] meters. Can't shake it off, and it's beyond the effective range of the Magnin revolver.

After running for a while, a half-collapsed building suddenly appeared in front of him, and Iron Slag immediately crawled into it.The surrounding area was dark, and the scene inside could not be seen clearly. Tie Slag immediately raised his hand, and a white light shot out from the watch, illuminating the front.

At a glance, this is a vaulted space of fifty to sixty square meters, surrounded by some rotten rags and white animal skeletons.There was a smell of rotting meat in the air, which was a bit unpleasant.After entering, Iron Slag immediately retracted his joints, pulled out the machete with one hand, and pulled out the Magnum revolver with the other, and hid behind the stones at the entrance.

"Dingling clang..."

Not long after, the sound of rolling metal blocks came from far to near.Iron Slag shrank his pupils and rushed out immediately.As he expected, an oval blasting grenade was slowly rolling towards him.He immediately kicked it over and kicked the tumbling explosive grenade back.

At this moment, the Scarecrow was hiding at the door with a man and looking in.

"Dingling clang..." However, they did not wait for the expected explosion, but watched helplessly as the grenade they had just thrown rolled back...

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a flash of fire, followed by a loud noise, and both of them were blown out.However, they quickly got up covered in green smoke, and saw that red carapaces covered with black spots appeared on their bodies, which were insect carapaces similar to iron slag, but the color, hardness and coverage were different.The carapaces on their bodies are common "ladybug carapaces", while iron slag's carapaces are rare "loopworm carapaces".There is a certain difference in hardness and coverage between the two, and the carapace of the iron slag has mutated into joint fluff and spikes, and the protection ability is even farther apart.

Just as the two stabilized their bodies, Iron Slag rushed out, facing him with a knife!

"clang!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, a bone spur sprang out from the scarecrow's elbow, barely blocking Iron Slag's thunderous blow.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The moment the straight machete was blocked, Tie Slag raised his left hand and pulled the trigger continuously, sending the man who had just charged from the side flying.After firing five bullets, Iron Slag didn't stop for a moment, he took advantage of the situation and jumped back, before the scarecrow could react, he opened his legs and flew away.He was seriously injured and exhausted, so he could only retreat when he couldn't guarantee to kill the opponent.

Looking at the iron slag that quickly escaped from sight, the scarecrow cursed and was about to flap its membrane wings when there was a sound of wind leaking behind him.But when he turned his head, he saw that the membrane wings had been completely riddled with blasting grenades and could no longer fly.He had no choice but to stop, and when the follow-up personnel arrived, he gritted his teeth, spit, and shouted, "Keep chasing, I don't believe how far he can run."

Next, they slowed down, and under the guidance of the little man, they chased after it all the way.

After running a few kilometers, the extremely weak Tie Slag suddenly became inattentive, tripped over a rock, and immediately fell to the ground.

He got up, shook his head vigorously, then took a steroid stimulant from his backpack and gave himself a shot.Although he will face a weaker state of drug sequelae later, but he can't care so much now.

After taking the stimulant, he recovered some of his energy and continued to escape.

I do not know how long it has been……

In the red field of vision, the surrounding scenery became more and more blurred. He suddenly felt a scorching pain in his lungs, so he stopped and looked around.

There was white mist all around, and the visibility was only two to 30 meters.Compared with the place just now, the black moss is more densely distributed here, and there are more fungi associated with it.Looking around, clumps of unnamed mushrooms of various colors are exuding a pale green light, which is very permeating.He quickly understood that he had entered an area of ​​high radiation.But at this moment he has no choice but to bite the bullet and move on...

About half an hour later, the Scarecrow led his men to the edge.Looking at the charred ruins of the city and the dense fog that filled it, the Scarecrow sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, it's a hard stubble, and it won't do much good if you catch it." After finishing speaking, he led his people away .

At the same time, Iron Slag was walking through the mist, and soon lost his way.His breathing was getting heavier, the stimulant was wearing off, and his eyelids were getting heavier.It didn't take long before he found a gap in a pile of rocks for hiding and got in.But as soon as he lay down, before he had time to deal with the open wound, he fell into a deep sleep...

A few days later, on Dr3713-12-20, the eve of the Feast of the Gods, a piece of news about the temple caused a sensation in the entire world of Silver City.

The headline on the front page of the "Yincheng Daily" reads:

"The thunder hammer is lost, and the wilderness knight is inexplicably missing. What is the connection?"

Afterwards, major newspapers and periodicals also reported on it one after another.

"Western Weekly"

"Conjectures about the missing Thunder Hammer..."

Post One

"Watch out for the enemies lurking in the darkness..."

"World Business Daily"

"About the possibility of a revival of a certain belief, and the impact on world stock prices..."

Although the content of the news is ambiguous, everyone can see that the finger is directed at the current Templar Princess-Yug Lombard.

The next day, at the elders meeting in the temple, Yu Ge took off the golden crown with gemstone pendants, put down the holy sword, holy shield, and holy cross on the podium in turn, and then asked all the elders to resign from the Dawn Expeditionary Army Commander-in-Chief, and voluntarily relinquishes the title of Templar Princess.

"Due to my mistake, the Thunder Hammer was lost, which affected the reputation of the Temple. For this reason, I will take the blame and resign..." You Ge said calmly.

"It's such a big deal. It's just a small broken hammer. If you lose it, you lose it. If you want to resign, old Bruno will be the first to disagree!" Leo Bruno stood up before he finished speaking, and said emotionally .

"The thunder hammer is just a decoration, and it has no practical effect..." "Take a step back, even if you lose it, it is your grandfather's property. You don't need to explain to anyone except old Modleton." Old Gresham And the old Clemens got up and echoed.They are all veteran aristocrats in the western continent, so they naturally form a group and support You Ge unconditionally.

However, voices of opposition soon emerged.

"The thunder hammer is a symbol of the glorious faith, we must get it back." The elder of the Perkin family stood up and said.

"I agree with Elder Perkin's point of view. The glorious remnants may unite again after they have regained their symbol," the elder of the Ram family echoed.Both of them are veteran nobles in the Central Continent, so they naturally support each other.However, apart from the two of them, the other great nobles in the Central Continent did not express their views.After all, being an enemy of the great western aristocrats headed by the Mordleton family will lead to turmoil in the world structure.

Among the eleven great nobles in the world, Modleton, Lombard, Gresham, Climans, and Bruno are collectively called the great western nobles, whose symbols are red dragon, redbud, gray sparrow, big whale, Horseshoes; Orlando, Julian, Solo, Ram, and Perkin are collectively referred to as the great nobles of the central region, and their symbols are the big banyan tree, elk, anvil, giant ape, and electric eel; Inhardt, known as the New Great Noble, whose symbol is a golden lion.

At present, the western aristocrats and the central aristocrats have disagreements on the issue of worms.The great aristocrats in the middle hope to form an army of wormers and use Jack to control them, but the great aristocrats in the west vote against it every year.

And the western aristocrats are the actual controllers of the temple. If the temple is compared to a company, then the western aristocrats are the major shareholders, the central aristocrats are the minority shareholders, and the pope is the CEO.Because the western continent is the richest, and most of the land is controlled by the nobles, the foundation is very deep.The land in the Central Continent is not only not fertile enough, but more than half of the land is in the hands of nobles or various forces in small and medium territories, and the political structure is extremely complicated.Without the support of the great nobles in the west, they will not be able to unilaterally start this plan.

Therefore, they will use Thunder Hammer to make a fuss, in order to obtain political concessions from the great western aristocracy.However, they only asked to retrieve the Thunder Hammer, and did not ask to replace the Holy Arbiter, which was tantamount to expressing their attitude of retaining in disguise.However, facing their tolerance, You Ge didn't appreciate it at all.

She nodded slightly and insisted: "I was tempted by the demons in my heart, and I can no longer be the spokesperson of the true god. If possible, please allow me to step down and return to the ordinary believer of the true god."

"Cousin Yu Ge, please think carefully, we need you." William Reinhardt said as he got up.Yu Ge is the most powerful source of power in history. If she loses her, the future of the temple will be bleak.

"I don't agree!" Leo Bruno roared angrily, "Unless I die!"

"Grandpa Bruno, I..." You Ge paused for a while, looked around the audience, and finally closed his eyes as if making up his mind, and said slowly, "I fell in love with a glorious remnant, and he was also a worm, He cheated Thunder Hammer from me, and then abandoned me, I think...you should all know his name..." At this point, You Ge looked away, as if he didn't want others to see her tears , "I am ashamed of my innocence and stupidity. As a princess of the temple, but was tempted by a worm, I don't think I am qualified to stand here and become the future leader of the temple..."

You Ge's monologue caused the audience to fall into a long silence.After an unknown amount of time, the elder of the Perkin family stood up slowly, and said earnestly: "My princess, my pride, please don't blame yourself, everyone has their youth, this is just the price of growing up, no one should avoid it." no..."

"My child, you are not at fault. It is those damned glorious remnants who are at fault. In this matter, you are a victim and should not be blamed." The elder of the Ram family stood up and comforted him.

They originally thought that You Ge was just retreating to advance and shirk responsibility, but they didn't expect that she was determined to leave the job, and she did not hesitate to expose her own stains and tell the whole story about the matter.However, losing the Temple Princess is a loss that no force inside the Temple can afford.These families, which have been passed down for thousands of years, are still very sober when it comes to major issues of right and wrong, and the choice between short-term interests and long-term interests.

"Failure and setbacks are also a kind of learning. Through this incident, our successor can personally experience the evil nature of the remnants of glory and the worms. I believe that in the days to come, her faith will be stronger and she will lead We, lead the temple to light and victory." Then, the elders of Orlando also expressed their views.

"Poor child..." "Stupid worm..." The elders of the Julian family and the Solo family also stood up and echoed.

After a while, the elders of the major forces stood up to express their opinions, all of them were filled with righteous indignation, and they were about to take people to the southern cemetery to massacre the city.Finally, under the persuasion of the elders, Princess Temple put on the crown again, and took back the holy sword, holy shield, and holy cross.

"Thank you, grandparents, for your trust. You Ge will definitely do his best to purify all evil in the world with the radiance of the true God." You Ge raised his sword to swear, and there was warm applause from below.After sheathing her sword, she added, "If tomorrow's newspaper still contains news about Thunder Hammer and Wilderness Knight, I will strike."

The next day...

Front page headlines of major newspapers:
"Silver City Daily"

"Little celestial girl Hong Huihui died suddenly at home, did she commit suicide? Or murder?"

"Western Weekly"

"Shocking! The little celestial girl who just debuted died in the bathtub of her residence..."

Post One

"A celebrity died naked at home. Torn clothes were scattered around the bathtub. The eyes of the dead body were painful and desperate. According to the police description, the possibility of suicide is extremely low..."

"World Business Daily"

"Inspector Jim refused to answer questions related to the situation. Is there any ulterior secret in it?"

In an instant, the streets and alleys of the Silver City world were discussing the bizarre death of the little goddess, and Thunder Hammer and the Wilderness Knight quickly faded out of people's sight.
