One Hundred and Twenty-Eight, Race with Fire
"...Tsk, I'm not relaxed. I've been blowing cold wind from the raging fire all the way, and I'm still complained by you idle people who don't work. We are not relaxed, so we are not a snow girl. It's obvious that they are still underage..."
The snow-like loli named Mengliu still pouted her mouth, but her voice became much lighter, as if she knew she was in the wrong, "...Wuwuwuwu, Xiao Mengliu now has a cough, chest tightness, a sore throat, tongue pain, and eyes pain... She is almost overworked, you guys who exploit my labor force, don't have any sympathy..."
Although Xiaoxue's sweet and glutinous voice is indeed very cute, Feili is not at all mentally irritated at this moment. She just tiptoed on her toes with anxiety, putting her hand on a shed, and looking at the mountain hand platform in the west. Unfortunately, the swelling smoke blocked the view, and the bright firelight around him interfered with the view, making him unable to see the towering general castle at all, and could only be anxious.
Although they had been running for nearly an hour, the fire seemed to spread faster, so they often walked around in front of them. Up to this moment, these "loyal ministers and righteous men" who tried to quell the chaos and rescue the emperor seemed to be out of reach from their destination.
Logically speaking, when encountering this kind of super-urgent crisis situation where rebellion is about to break out, Feili, as a spellcaster, should use the instant teleportation spell to allow soldiers and weapons to appear out of thin air in the castle, both fast and cool.
But the problem is that he has never set precise coordinates in this castle, and he is also worried about the interference spells that the enemy may launch, so he really dares not risk stuffing living people into the walls and floors and teleport them casually.
As for another mode of transportation that suits the identity of a mage, that is, flying over by a broom... Not to mention that he did not bring a magic broom tonight, and the sky was full of smoke and fire, and the airflow was full of rolling heat waves, and the movement of the airflow was unpredictable. Even if he could barely fly into the sky, he would probably be smoked by the smoke, or even worse, and be swept into the flames and turned into roast ducks. In short, flying in this dangerous and harsh environment is even more crazy than flying a boat to sea in a typhoon.
Besides, among the people present, there was no other person with flying ability except him. The enemy situation was in chaos, and I don’t know how many troops the traitor lurked in Edo Castle, and whether there were masters or even masters ambushing the outside world. If a magician who was so lonely, he bumped into his eyes with dark eyes, it seemed that there was a risk of a meat bun hitting the dog without returning...
After all, Fili is neither Rambo nor Superman, nor even a pure combat profession, but just an alchemist with little diligence.
Originally, Feili could have sent Owo, a fat lich, to explore the way. With his ability, even if he couldn't beat it, he could at least escape. But unfortunately, just when everyone had just escaped from Yoshihara Flower Street and crossed a ruin with smoke, he accidentally bumped into a bunch of panicked guardian spirits and Fu Sangshen... So, this fat lich, who was originally weighing better than a bear, was accidentally wiped by these low-level gods with super purification ability, and even stepped on them. In an instant, he quickly lost weight and successfully turned into a charred skeleton full of smoke...
As a result, the lich Owo, who was no longer obsessed and even too thin, ran away and burst into tears on the spot. While moaning loudly, he was covered in old and old rotten flesh with a long history of three thousand years, he was actually wiped out in the blink of an eye. He activated the teleportation technique again with a crying voice, leaving behind the people who were still fighting for the fire, and returned to his residence in the bottom cabin of the Xiangrui to treat and recuperate - Feili had to rely on himself for everything.
However, even though he chose the most conventional land breakthrough, Fili and Tadao Kuroshima were unable to pull out the troops completely.
Due to the narrow and tortuous streets, the fugitives rushed out, the buildings that were collapsed on fire and the thugs who took advantage of the fire to rob, and the teams were disbanded one after another, and some people were separated or blocked halfway. At this moment, there were not many urban management team members who were still following Feili, and there were no more than two hundred people. As for the few Naserier guards who Feili brought to the banquet, they were even lost.
However, the old monk Jingshui Youhu, who is good at practicing joyful Zen, is already old and has lost all his magic power. As soon as he runs, he is panting like a bellows, but he is able to hold on until now without falling behind. When everyone hesitates and doesn't know which direction to move, he catches up and guides Feili's path.
"...Hu~~~~Hu~~~Hu~~~~Hu~~~ Well, in my opinion, this is already the edge of Edo Castle Town, and not far away is the Yama Hand Platform. Cough cough, the terrain there is high, and they are samurai mansions built strictly in accordance with the shogunate laws. The houses are relatively sparse and the place is empty, so the fire should be smaller... Cough cough, let's stick to the last section of the road, we are not far from Edo Castle..."
He sucked in a few breaths of hot air mixed with a large amount of smoke and dust. The quiet water fox slowly moved to the front of the team with a crutch. While coughing slightly, he looked around and identifying the terrain, while holding on to cheer up the "loyal ministers" who were unkempt and ragged.
At this time, a fresh sea breeze blew from the water of Edo Bay, dispelling the dense smoke lingering in front of him, and also making the Edo Castle, which has been hidden, show its true appearance. Even though it was still several blocks away, looking up from below the Yama Hand Platform, Feiri could clearly see clusters of bright orange-red flames jumping and spreading on the towering Tianshou Pavilion.
And between the Wu family mansion outside the castle, there was also a sea of tumultuous fire, filled with many chaotic and noisy gunfire, shouts of killing and horns, and scattered stars came vaguely with the wind, indicating that fierce battles were also breaking out there.
To make matters worse, the rebels seemed to have noticed the arrival of their reinforcements and responded immediately - with a series of long conch horns, shadows gradually emerged in front of them, shouting and coming from somewhere at the end of the street.
Although the distance is still far, the light is dim and the vision is blurred, Feili can't tell the identity of these people and the heraldic flags for the time being, but she can already see the swords in their hands clearly - rows of sharp blades are reflected by the fire, emitting a wave of devouring cold light in the night
After taking a breath of smoke, he turned around and looked at Tadao Kuroshima. The latter immediately put the wheelbarrow against the wall, pulled out his waist and swung it a few times, and then fucked his loud voice and issued a battle order to the exhausted urban management team members.
"...Sirs, please cheer up and pick up your weapons and try to win the thief's master's contribution..."
Before Tadao Kuroshima finished speaking, he heard a loud "boom" sound, which made everyone's ears buzz, and even the ground under his feet trembled, making everyone standing on the street unable to stand their feet and become a pile of rolling gourds.
Then, a shock wave that could be seen by the naked eye, accompanied by a sharp white light, erupted from a building far ahead, like a hurricane and tsunami, roaring across a large area of surrounding areas with an irresistible momentum.
Almost all the buildings passing by were uprooted by this terrible shock wave. The beams, columns and tiles that were blown out hit hard on the roofs of buildings farther away like shells, smashing many buildings into crumbling hornet nests. Some of them were even bombarded and collapsed on the spot. The people inside were buried alive under the rubble without having time to escape.
As for the passers-by who were swept by the shock wave, they were even more like ants crushed by stone mills. I don’t know how many people turned into minced meat on the spot...
——————————————————————————————
After a while, when Feili recovered her consciousness in a daze, crawled out of a pile of rubble and floating soil with dizziness, covered her mouth and coughed, she found that not only the unknown enemies who were originally gathered in the street in front were already wiped out by the direct sweep of the shock wave, but even her side, who was still far away, were injured and injured, and were in a mess.
"...Cough cough, how many people are alive? Those who can still breathe will come out and squeak the cough..."
He staggered and stood up, used amplification to assist his throat, shouting at the top of his lungs, and then slowly some mummy-like guys emerged from the ruins of the building with a storm of smoke... After a rough count, he found that there were more than 150 urban management team members left, and there were more than 300 refugees from somewhere behind.
Among the several important figures, the brothers Hito Kuroshima and Tadao Kuroshima were fine, and the sleepy stool Hito Kuroshima was fine. The female vampire professor Rebeca, who was originally carried on Feri's shoulder, was also found in a dry canal. Apart from the torn clothes, there was no serious damage. But the problem is that there are two more...
"...There's no way, I really can't find the snow girl named Mengliu."
After wandering around, Tadao Kuroshima quickly gave up his search helplessly, "... The wheelbarrow carrying the snow girl just now and the wall parked the wheelbarrow are now gone. I hope she is lucky enough to be thrown into the sea, so that she may have a way out. If her luck is not good, she is directly crushed by the air waves, or thrown into the flames... Then the snow girl will melt into snow juice.
Alas, it seems that an arsenal directly under the shogunate had exploded. In order to see the chimney of the factory at any time and to show the achievements of establishing a domestic military-industrial enterprise, the shogunate master forced such dangerous things to be placed in the city town... Tsk tsk, because the product quality has been so bad for a long time, the unqualified ammunition in the warehouse over there was piled up like a mountain, stored year after year, and no army was willing to risk 'being suicide'. As a result, it is now good that such a large house was leveled."
...
What is the ending of this snow girl loli? Since no one can see it with his own eyes, there is no intuitive understanding.
But everyone clearly saw the miserable fate of the old monk Jingshui Youhuo. Because he lost his magic power to protect himself, even the Buddhist treasures around him became ordinary objects with the Buddha's severe injury. The bald donkey was lifted from the ground by shock waves on the spot and hung on the roof of a half-collapsed dangerous building. One leg and one arm were gone, and a bamboo poked in the chest and swayed straight in the air...
Because the dangerous building was seriously damaged and shaking, most of the stair beams and pillars collapsed. A group of urban management team members tried several times, but they couldn't climb up to collect the body for him, so they had to let the unfortunate old monk hang it there first to use the sign.
In short, in Feili's eyes, the team around him was really sad and miserable at this moment.
The only thing that is thankful is that the fire in this large area was instantly extinguished by violent shock waves. He could sit down and consider the next action without worrying about the fire chasing from behind his butt.
However, the combat effectiveness around him was further reduced. In this unexpected explosion, many urban management team members were only concerned about saving their lives. The swords were broken, the guns were destroyed, and even the ammunition was basically lost. Many people were shocked and their eardrums were broken and they became deaf... It would be a bit too hard to make them drag their scarred bodies into the castle and kill the enemy and rescue the enemy with bare hands.
However, if they had paid such a heavy price, they seemed a little unwilling to give up halfway through... Can they race against the flames all the way, and in the end they just did useless work?
As a result, before Feili could weigh the final choice, someone helped him make a decision: the main target he was preparing to rescue this time, Miss Mitsui Ryuki, was surrounded by a large group of entourage guards, and appeared at the end of the street, running out from the mountain hand platform... Behind her, a large number of rebels were following her.
——Very good, until now, there seems to be no other choice...
Looking back, Feiri lamented. Before Tadao Kuroshima gave orders to his subordinates, he took out a bottle of energy recovery potion from his arms, raised his head and drank it all, then pulled out a pistol and staff from his waist, aiming at the enemy who was quickly pressing down along the street.
A fierce and chaotic street battle started in this ashes ruin.
ps: Today I went to visit the brave senior who drank Ganges water again, and talked about the radiant seafood of Fukushima and the appearance of human fingers in the fish's belly. He firmly stated that the contents of the Ganges freshwater fish's belly are definitely much more terrifying than those on Fukushima.
