Goddess Wanhua Mirror

In an instant, there was only one thought left in Buddy's mind, and that was to escape!

"Aina, with me... ah!"

Buddy, who turned around and was about to run, subconsciously wanted to drag Aina along with him.The young man still firmly believes that the girl must like him in her heart, and she will be willing to go far away with him.

However, when he turned around and turned around, what greeted him was a brick flying head-on.Buddy only felt a "hum" in his mind, and then the whole world was spinning rapidly in his eyes, turning into a vortex and engulfing his consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, when Buddy's comatose brain was suddenly awakened by a burst of cold, he found that he was in a strange room in front of him, and he was roughly tied to a pillar, unable to move.

At this time, a voice with obvious jokes rang in his ear.

"Boy, you are awake! The operation was a success!"

"What, what surgery?"

Seeing that Buddy's consciousness had just recovered and he was still not very sober, Lu De did not continue to verbally molest him, but signaled to the villagers at the side to refresh him with cool mountain spring water.

After another bucket of cold water went down, Buddy finally came to his senses, and quickly understood his current situation.His identity as a traitor was found out, and the person who saw him out was probably that nasty old priest!

"Let go of me! Let me go!"

"Son, if you haven't figured out the situation yet, I can get someone to help you wake up again. We have plenty of cold water."

"..."

Two buckets of cold water were poured down, and Buddy really stopped making noise.He looked up at the smiling Lude and the eldest son of the village beside him. Buddy remembered that his name seemed to be Ron, and he was the biggest farmer in the village. The nickname given to him by the villagers was "Big Man". It's very courageous to go there.

Buddy tried hard to maintain his composure, but the flickering eyes betrayed the fact that he was flustered.

"You, you arrested the wrong person, I'm not a spy."

"Oh! I haven't opened my mouth yet. How did you know that I want to ask you if you are a spy? My child! You are still too young!"

"you……"

Unexpectedly, he missed the bottom line in his first sentence, and Buddy's face turned red.

Lude has to admit that the 17-year-old boy actually acted well before revealing his secrets, but he obviously has not received anti-interrogation training.Lude was going to quickly break down his psychological defense, and let him confess everything he knew.

And compared to simple and brutal torture, he has a plan with faster results.

"Son, I want to play a game with you next, but before we officially start, please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Lude. Although I am a priest now, 30 years ago, in the place where I fought In that eastern country, people are more used to calling me bloody."

In an extremely indifferent tone, Lude made an opening statement. Of course, the content was all made up by him, but it sounded quite bluffing.As for the nickname "Blood Hand Broken Soul", which sounds full of middle school temperament, it is actually Lude's usual ID in many shooting games.

"When I was your age, I had been fighting on the bloody battlefield (in the game) for many years. I can't remember exactly how many people I killed. After all, no one would be bored. Go count how many slices of bread you've eaten in your life, don't you?"

As Lude said, a warm smile appeared on his face as before, but in Buddy's eyes, this smile was completely different from the past.

"Later! I was tired of endless killing. Taking other people's lives is a very boring and meaningless thing. Hatred can never be cut off with a knife, so I had an epiphany. I chose to put down the butcher knife and become I am a practitioner who worships the goddess devoutly, but if one day, when I need to protect the innocent again, I don't mind dirtying my hands that I have finally washed. Do you understand what I mean?"

Buddy nodded. He was a smart kid, so he could understand what Lude wanted to convey to him.On the other hand, Ron was still immersed in shock at the moment. He completely believed Lude's nonsense, and he had already begun to imagine the demeanor of the priest when he was young.

"Then I will tell you how to play our game. I learned it from others back then. It is specially used to deal with those tough guys who think they are not afraid of death. The specific process is simple but not complicated, just use With such a big knife, you can cut the flesh of your body one by one. You can’t cut the vitals and kill the person directly. The meat you cut with each knife should not be too large, and while cutting, you must be blessed by the tortured to restore life and maintain sobriety. , so that he can really feel and see with his eyes that the flesh on his body is moving away from him bit by bit. Buddy, can you imagine that kind of picture?"

Lude glanced at Buddy with a smile. The young man's face was pale at the moment, and his legs were shaking like sifting chaff, which obviously frightened him a lot.On the other hand, Ron also looked nervous, swallowing saliva subconsciously.

At this time, Lude got up and came to Buddy, leaned into his ear, and whispered in an extremely soft tone that made Buddy shudder.

"Son, under normal circumstances, depending on the vitality of the participants, this game may last for several days. We may not have a few days, but at least it will be fine for one night. So think carefully now and then Answer me...are you ready to play this game with me?"

End of this chapter

Buddy is broken!It took Lude less than 15 minutes before and after, without using any tools, and just relying on a deceitful mouth, the young man was so frightened that he burst into tears and even peed his pants!

Buddy didn't know that there was no such thing as bloody hands and broken souls that killed countless people, and Lu De couldn't compare to Paoding Jieniu's Lingchi sword technique, and even if he knew it, he didn't dare to use it on a living person. .

But this world is like this. The price of doing it yourself may be high, but it is very easy to become a "king of mouth".Lu De has watched many classic film and television dramas in his previous life, and he has acting skills honed from his undercover career for many years. It is naturally easy to imitate "Kazuo Yamamoto" on the spot!

Under Lude's questioning, Buddy revealed the plan of the bandit group, and even said that he is the son of the bandit boss Zack, and only asked Lude to spare his life, and don't put that terrible "cut The Meat Game" is applied to oneself.

After asking about the information he needed, Lude immediately took Ron out of the cellar where Buddy was held.Judging from what the other party just explained, the village will soon be in big trouble!

"Ron, hurry up and inform your father, and say that something has been found out, we must immediately gather the villagers to get ready... Ron!"

Seeing that he didn't respond after calling for a long time, Lu De stretched out his hand and patted the silly big man who was a little distracted.As a result, he slapped him lightly, and nearly slapped Ron on the ground.

"Master, sir, did you call me?"

"What's the matter with you? Go and call your father and tell him that I have something to do with him."

"Okay, I'll go right away, Lord Bloody Hand."

"Go...what the hell did you call me just now!?"

Soon, Ron called his father, and the village head, Rom, had just led people to control the new refugees.After all, none of them can guarantee that the only spy who sneaked into the village is Buddy.

Rom was a little surprised that Lu De completed the interrogation so quickly, and seeing his son's obviously frightened cowardly look, it was obvious that he had not used ordinary methods.Fortunately, Lu De is one of his own people facing the village. This time, he was able to discover the bandits and traitors in advance, thanks to his good eyesight.

Rom still remembered that Lude found him suddenly and mysteriously in the morning, saying that he found that there was something wrong with Buddy, the blacksmith's apprentice. This young man often ran to the small woods in the south by himself behind the back of other people in the village.

Rom was puzzled at first, but he didn't think that Lude would be so boring as to frame a young man, so he called his two sons and went to the blacksmith shop with Lude. As a result, a pile of colorful cloth strips was indeed found in the woodpile.

Others don't know what it is, but the well-informed old Rom knows that this is a marking method used by many thieves. Buddy prepared these things secretly behind everyone's back, obviously not for any serious business.

So everyone started to act immediately, first to control the blacksmith Bank's family, and then quickly found Buddy who was trying to confess his love to Aina.

Seeing that his identity was exposed, the young man wanted to drag Aina along with him, but Lude just winked, and she picked up a brick from the ground without hesitation, and knocked Buddy down easily.

Through the information given by Buddy, everyone found that the situation was worse than expected.There are more than 200 bandits who are following them. The leader is the famous murderer "Handsome Zack" in the Kingdom. It is expected that they will come to kill them tomorrow night.

On the other hand, in Songshu Village, although there are more than 400 villagers in the whole village, there are more than 100 people who can barely take up arms and fight. One-on-one is definitely not the opponent of those desperadoes. It is an all-around overwhelming disadvantage.

Knowing how difficult the actual situation is, all the villagers who were called to the meeting were silent. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and no one could come up with an idea for a while.

"Master Village Chief, why don't we hurry up and run before the bandits come!"

"Run? Run to where?"

"Go, run to the town, after all, there are guards over there..."

"The town is in the south, and bandits also come from the south. Hundreds of people in our village dragged their families along with them. Do you think the bandits won't be able to find it? Besides, it's easy for people to escape. What about the freshly harvested grain in the village? How much can you take away? Without food, do we people go to the town to beg for food and become beggars?"

"Then, shall we stick to the village?"

When it comes to defending to the death, the faces of the villagers are embarrassing again.These mountain villagers are usually very brave and fierce, and they are indeed good at fighting with neighboring villages, but when they face the vicious bandits and bandits, they become sheep one by one.

Old Rom also knew that Pine Tree Village was not easy to guard.The village is located on a flat plain. Although it is backed by two crossing rivers, it is still not easy to defend and difficult to attack. The surrounding fence walls are extremely reluctant to keep out wild animals.Old Rom had thought that when the situation in the village improved this year, he would start construction to strengthen the fence, but before they started construction, bandits attacked the door first.

Seeing that there is nowhere to escape, and the defense is not easy to defend, the villagers caught in a dilemma for a while did not know what to do.The old village chief Rom, who always claimed to be well-informed, was also at a loss, so he subconsciously looked at the priest Lu De who had been scribbling and drawing on the straw paper before.

"Master Lude, do you have any good ideas?"

"Me? I support the defense, but instead of guarding the village, I move people and food to the temple, where everyone stands by and waits for help."

"Guarding the temple?"

Hearing Lu De's thoughts, the villagers present were discussing for a while.But old Rom thought about it and found that this is a really good idea!

Different from a village without danger, the temple is located on a half-slope. The main entrance faces a steep slope close to 45 degrees, and the back is a vertical cliff with a height of nearly 20 meters. Below is the rushing river, which is indeed very A dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

At this time, there is still a full day before the bandits officially attack the door. If the whole village is mobilized, it is absolutely possible to move all the food and valuables in the village to the temple before noon tomorrow, and then gather the strong men to guard it. The front of the temple may last for a long time.

Old Rom was not a hesitant person either, so he decided on the spot to follow Lude's plan.They first sent five villagers who knew the way and could run overnight, and asked them to go to the town to rescue the soldiers separately. The rest of them were called by Ron beating the gong.

The old man took out the saber that had been treasured for many years from his home, held a mobilization meeting on the valley field in the village, and told everyone the news that the bandits were about to attack.And Lu De took some villagers to study the terrain in the village, preparing to give some "big surprises" to the bandits who came tomorrow night!

End of this chapter

In an empty barn in the village, the blacksmith Bank's family, together with other people who had just joined Pine Tree Village not long ago, were temporarily detained here as suspects because Buddy, a bandit spy, was arrested.

Regarding Buddy's hidden identity, Bank was as surprised as everyone else when he heard it, and subconsciously thought there was something wrong, but the villagers didn't give him any chance to explain. Going to the scene to stop the villagers who took advantage of the disturbance, Bank was almost beaten to death.

Then Bank, who was bruised and swollen, was taken to this empty barn together with others. All the adults were tied with their hands behind their backs, and even the children were tied to the posts with ropes like goats.Several villagers walked around them with hatchets and sticks in their hands, for fear that they would try to escape.

"We are not bandits, brother, do yourself a favor and tell the village chief, we are really not!"

"Shut up for me, who will believe your nonsense!"

The guarding villagers glared at the person who wanted to beg for love, and deliberately knocked the pillar hard with the wooden stick in his hand, which frightened them into silence, and several children couldn't help crying.

At this time, Lu De came in from the outside, seeing the rough treatment of the blacksmith and the children, he couldn't help frowning.He did agree with the village chief to control these ex-refugees first, but it definitely shouldn't be such a rough control method, so he went directly to the leader.

"What are you doing!? They are human beings, and being suspected doesn't mean they are guilty! Besides, these are children, so let's compare our hearts, your own children are being abused like this in front of your eyes, will you feel good!?"

"This……"

After being reprimanded by Lu De, several guards couldn't help but looked at each other.

Lu De's status in the village is no less than that of the village head, not to mention that this time he found out that the bandit spies are also his eyes. The villagers in charge of guarding suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Under Lude's order, the ropes that tied the children were untied first.Seeing that the little ones were still scared, Lude motioned for Aina to come forward to comfort them.Although this goddess nun is stupid, she naturally has an affinity for children, and the children in the village like her very much.

Liu Aina took care of the child here, and Lude came to Bank.

The blacksmith already knew that it was Lude who reported his apprentice Buddy as a bandit spy, but he looked up at Lude without anger, but asked in a relatively calm tone.

"Is Buddy really a bandit spy?"

"Yes, it is absolutely true. He hid the codes to guide the bandits in your woodpile, and he has recruited them all. At this time tomorrow, there will be two hundred bandits raiding Pine Tree Village at night. Bank Sir, the village needs your help now, not only to help others, but also to help yourself and your family.”

"..."

Bank was silent for a moment, without any impulsive reaction, just silently nodded to Lude.Lude immediately took out a knife, untied Bank on the spot, and then helped him stand up from the ground.

"What do you need me to do for you?"

"follow me."

Turning his head to glance at the children beside Aina, Bank nodded to his eldest son, Jaeger, and then walked out with Lude.When passing by the guard with the fiercest attitude before, Bank suddenly stopped, walked straight to the guard and said.

"You just hit my daughter with your hands. When the matter is over, I will beat you hard."

Throwing down a harsh word, Bank followed Luther out of the barn.On the way back to the blacksmith shop, Bank found that all men, women and children in Pine Tree Village had been mobilized. Like moving ants, everyone was transporting all kinds of things to the north of the village, as if they were going to the temple.

"Are you planning to use the temple as a castle?"

"Almost, the people sent out to ask for help have already set off overnight. If everything goes well, the reinforcements sent from the town should arrive in the morning of the day after tomorrow at the earliest. So theoretically speaking, we only need to last until the next day tomorrow night Dawn is enough."

"But the town may not be willing to send someone to rescue us."

Bank's words hit the nail on the head. In fact, there are not many available soldiers in the neighboring towns. The guard team of less than a hundred people is simply standing guard on weekdays. The actual combat effectiveness may not be stronger than that of bandits. High earthen walls protect the town.

But Lude knew that there was a beacon tower in the town, and lighting it could send a distress signal to the neighboring Lumley Earldom's capital, Leete City, as quickly as possible.There is the lord's army over there, and three knight squads belonging to different sects. Whoever can be called, their village will be saved.

And in order to ensure that these people can be mobilized, Lu De asked those villagers who went out to deliver letters to convey a key message, that is, the bandit leader who is about to attack Songshu Village is the famous "handsome guy" in the kingdom. Zack".

Lu De didn't know the specific deeds of this person back then, but if he could provoke the wrath of both people and gods, and the king and several major sects jointly encircled and suppressed him, his head would definitely be very valuable!

Back at his blacksmith shop, Bank found that there were a lot of large black pots and some scattered metal objects on his chopping board.

Lu De told him that these things were all ironware donated by the village chief mobilizing the whole village, young and old, and used them as raw materials for casting weapons.But Bank could tell at a glance that there seemed to be a lot of broken copper and iron at first glance. Even if all these things were melted and recast, they would not be able to make a few decent ones.

"My lord, don't you want to use these things to make weapons?"

"Yes, and no! I know you can't make a sword out of scrap metal, but what I want you to make is something else."

"Is it the pulley from before?"

"No, it's another more interesting thing. I'll tell you how to make it in detail after the carpenter picks up the materials."

Soon, a group of villagers came outside the blacksmith shop, led by the old carpenter next door. They also brought a whole load of sawn wood sections and other messy things, and Bank was completely confused.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let me hurry up and explain. What we are going to do next is related to whether we can block the attack of those bandits tomorrow night. I hope everyone will listen carefully..."

End of this chapter

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the dripping rain sprinkled on the earth, causing a vast mist to rise in the valley.A team of nearly 200 people walked through the forest path.Although many of them secretly cursed that the mountain road was slippery and difficult to walk due to the bad night rain, the man in the lead did not dislike the weather which was suitable for sneak attacks.

Riding on a tall horse, Zach looked back at his team. The two hundred men were all selected from the cottage. There were more than 30 cavalry, and the rest were infantry. The weapons used can be said to be various.Except for Zac himself and some of the brothers who came out of the mercenary regiment back then, who had good military swords, everyone else basically had something to use.

Fortunately, the level of armed forces in most villages is worse than theirs, so this business has never been missed, and the gains can be said to be quite rich.But if they wanted the village to survive this winter safely, they had to do one or two more big votes.

Soon, the team advanced to the edge of the forest. Zach stopped the team, and then sent two spies to investigate the situation ahead. The target of their trip, Pine Tree Village, was ahead, and they didn't find any abnormalities on the opposite side from a distance.

After waiting for a while, one of the spies ran back and said that the village was quiet, and the militiamen on the sentry tower could be seen dozing off.They were afraid of scaring the snake, so they didn't dare to go forward rashly, and they couldn't meet Master Buddy who was the insider.
