The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 76 The Greatest End

Red Lion City, similar in terrain to Moen City, is located in the southeast corner of the map, isolated by fjords and cliffs, and only connected to the outside world by a long bridge.

The terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is the reason why the Red Lion City can still stand here.

The long bridge faces outwards, and layers of smoked and burned fire walls form a barrier against horses, against all kinds of giant beasts.

The giant dog and the giant crow were killed, and the corpses were already eroded by corruption before they were burned. The whole body was covered with mushrooms, and they were swallowed by the red hyphae.

The Red Lions set fire to the corpse and mycelium.

Occasionally, creatures infected by corrupt parasites break through the red lion's defense line and rush to the bridge. The catapults behind carry boulders and fire to block all monsters.

Even if the line of defense collapsed and a large number of monsters flooded the long bridge, the most elite knights of the Red Lion would still be there.

These lion knights learn gravity magic together with Ratan, and the rain of arrows with magical power can wash away all corrupt parasites, even if the dragon comes, it will be nailed into a sieve.

The soldiers of Lataen have used this method to hold on to the Red Lion City to this day.

They did not allow corruption to enter the city, but they were also powerless to reverse it, so they could only start an endless tug-of-war around the long bridge.

This is a war, and they will lose.

On the city wall, Jielian, the lord of the Red Lion City, narrated the tragic battle. Many Red Lion soldiers were excited about it, and then together with Jielian glared at the people who were tied up outside the city wall.

A wooden plank was erected across the city wall, and a person was hung outside the city gate and hung high.

Jie Lian said to the man in a deep voice:

"And now, merchant, you are telling me that the solution to food and grass in the city is to eat those rotten things?"

Nameless was tied up into an egg with only one head exposed, and continued to speak stubbornly:

“Mushrooms are delicious.”

Wuming entered the city as a merchant to discuss cooperation with the city lord of the Red Lion City.

Even if Jie Lian didn't need to talk about it, Wuming could tell that the Red Lion City was in serious shortage of supplies.

What kind of supplies can an army that is blocked by corruption and is getting fewer and fewer can have.

After entering the city to investigate, it really is missing this and that.

All the supplies of the Red Lion City are piled up on war resources. There is a lot of fire oil, little vegetable oil, a lot of iron swords, and few iron pots.

There are almost no civilians in the city, and there are no people who manage daily logistics.Occasionally there is meat, all rely on the fish caught in the sea along the coast.It is unreliable to expect supplies to be transported from the main road. There are no large caravans in the border area, and it is impossible for other demigod forces to send supplies to them through the entire corrupt Gaile.

The team escorted by the red lion knight will only send some necessary supplies, and the escort mission often suffers heavy casualties.

The best food in the entire Red Lion City is the crazy Rataen, because there is a steady stream of corpses to eat.

Jie Lian didn't care about food, he only cared about weapons.

"You can't do this. If you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to fight." Wuming watched the drill of the Red Lion Army and pointed.

Then he sacrificed the scarlet fungus soup he had researched through Millicent.

Then Wuming was hanged up.

"You guys need to be more open-minded." Wuming twirled around on the sling, "I have laboriously experimented with this recipe, and I don't even charge you money."

"So you are more like a corrupt believer who came to disintegrate us internally." Gerlian said.

"I want to repay you for giving me the moss medicine formula and prayer book for treating corruption." Nameless yelled.

"That's repaying kindness with revenge."

Nameless yelled: "I really want to poison you, can't you just poison your cafeteria? As for saying it?"

Jie Lian had to admit that what Wu Ming said made sense, poisoning them was easier than pressing their heads to let them eat poison.

"How many times have you experimented with your formula?" asked Jeremy.

"One meal." Wuming said.

Jie Lian greeted a red lion knight with a big bow and a rocket:

"Stop talking nonsense with him, light the fire."

"Wait, wait." Seeing the big bow pointed at himself, Wuming shouted:

"If you don't believe me, you can test it yourself, and give it to those who are dying or the dead. I heard that you are still a Kalia, do you have the experimental spirit of a magician?"

Jielian stopped the knight from shooting arrows, and stared at Wuming with a stinky face.

Wuming is also unafraid, and looks at Jie Lian.

After staring at each other for a while, the rope turned him to the other side, and he could only stare at Jielian in circles.

Jie Lian said: "Why don't you do this experiment and eat for ten days and a half months by yourself."

"It's possible, but it's meaningless to use me for experiments." Wuming said, "I am proficient in flame prayer, and burn myself with flames every day. You can't get accurate data through me."

"I heard you brought a girl with you," said Jeremy.

"Oh, she's fine. I'll let her eat mushrooms for three meals a day. I promise she'll be fine." Wuming assured her, "Can you let me down?"

Jielian left Wuming alone for a while before letting him down, but he did not loosen the shackles, but put an anklet on Wuming, the reason being to prevent him from escaping.

"We will be partners in the future. You are disrespecting partners like this." Wuming walked slowly with an anklet on, following Jie Lian.Talking about disrespect, but doesn't seem to care about the chains on his feet.

"I don't see you respecting our elegy either," said Jeremy.

"What sad song?" Wuming asked.

"A sad song written by the struggle and death of countless fighters," said Jelian.

"Practice the same thing." Wuming muttered.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, I think your dressing style is quite tasteful." Wuming said.

Although the theme of the city lord Jie Lian's clothes is plain knight armor, the sleeves are brightly colored and in a strange shape, like a circus performer, whose style comes from nowhere.

Hidden under the hood is a bearded old man's mask, covering Jelian's real face.

"You're wrong about one thing. I'm not from Caria," said Jelian. "I was only a guest in the royal family of Caria for a while. I was a wandering knight who sang in my spare time and hunted when I was hungry. Also free."

"Then why are you here as the city lord?" Wuming asked.

Just as Jie Lian was about to answer, a chorus and the dull sound of trumpets suddenly sounded in the city.

All the red lion knights within Wuming's line of sight stopped what they were doing and stared in the direction of the voice.

Near the city gate, a group of people walked slowly, carrying a stretcher, and the bloody fur on the stretcher covered a figure.

The team walked along the main road to the castle lord's room and to Jie Lian's side.

Jeremy asked, "Who is it?"

"Jorah," replied the knight carrying the stretcher.

Jie Lian nodded: "Boy of the Bell family, I was there when he was appointed."

"He is very brave. When the corruption disease broke out, he also held back two monsters, giving us a chance to win." The knight said.

Jie Lian nodded and helped them open the door of the castellan's room.

The team carried the corpse into the city lord's room, and walked around to a side door, where there was a balcony with an elevator on the balcony.

Jielian went up the elevator with the team, and Wuming followed.

Everyone was silent, speechless all the way.

The elevator descended to the bottom of the city. Here are two scarlet deserts. There is a small river between the deserts, which connects to the sea in the distance.

Jorah's body was placed in a small boat and floated out to sea under everyone's watchful eyes.

A red lion knight drew his bow and shot, the flaming arrow shot straight at Xiaohan, and then fell straight down, piercing into the boat.

"Goodbye brother, may the fire burn away your old illness, and may you have a new life after returning to the tree..." Jie Lian recited the eulogy.

The Red Lion knights took the elevator back to the city, but Jie Lian did not go with them.

He and Wuming walked in the desert, surrounded by endless scarlet.

Jeremy said, "Now do you understand why I don't wander anymore?"

"I don't understand." Nameless said.

"I am not the lord of the city, but I promised Lataen that he will die with honor and his subordinates will resist corruption." Jie Lian said, "I will hold a vigorous ceremony for him, and let him usher in the greatest The end of the world is worthy of the ending of the strongest demigod."

"This funeral is quite interesting." Wuming looked at the raging boat that was drifting away, "It's more ritual than ours."

"He was a brave fighter and he deserved a funeral like this," Geralm said.

Jie Lian said: "Now do you understand why the people in the city are so angry with you? We fight corruption with our lives, but you let us drink scarlet soup."

Nameless didn't respond.

Jie Lian looked over and found that Wuming was looking at the wall of the Red Lion City.

There are many wooden racks standing there, hanging the corpses of soldiers who don't know which camp they belong to.

"The red lion is more than just a knight." Wuming asked, "Is the soldier also treated like this?"

"How could a soldier be treated like this, this is the funeral of a knight, and a knight is a nobleman," said Jie Lian.

Wuming stared at the corpses of those soldiers:

"I have also seen the great end, and I have seen many. To me, the strength of the king is not important. On the contrary, the weaker our king is, the more noble he is."

"Is there such a place?" Jie Lian said, "I have traveled all over the world, but I have never seen such a king."

"Because our king is burning himself and illuminating others." Wuming said, "For the sake of the lives of the people in the world, he will divide his own life. No matter whether the noble or the humble, no matter whether the noble or the humble, there is no distinction between each other's salvation. The mighty king became extremely weak and desolate because he divided his power, and the dazzling sun became weaker than the flames, and that desolation is the greatest end."

Wuming looked at Jie Lian:

"Is your current field also for such a great reason?"

Jie Lian raised his chest: "Of course it is. We fight against corruption and protect Garrett from corruption. Even if we burn all our lives for it. General Rataen went crazy and even cut off his feet to limit his own strength. Act only so as not to harm innocent people."

But facing the nameless gaze, Jie Lian felt a little guilty for no reason.

Of course, the Red Lion fights corruption bravely and heroically, but the source of all this - the Shattered War is not a war of honor.

Every demigod hero was distorted by the sudden heavy pressure, creating one tragedy after another.

Misunderstandings, conflicts, and disputes one after another have plunged the whole world into a vortex, and no one can be alone. The entanglement of cause and effect has been entangled in a mess, and it has long been impossible to distinguish between black and white.

Even if he is as powerful as General Ratan, he can't reverse the tragedy that seems to be fate.

As a guest general of the Kalia royal family, Jielian knows a lot of inside stories that ordinary people don't know. He knows more than ordinary people.

At least he thought so.

Jie Lian thought of the young lady who was always secretive and kept her thoughts hidden.

He knows that this is not a war of honor...

"But how can war be noble?" Jie Lian felt that Wuming's thoughts were a little unreasonable.

"Salvation regardless of high or low? Do corrupt family members also have to be saved? Can civilians receive the same courtesy as nobles? Besides, our soldiers can fight side by side with generals. This is a proof of honor. You see soldiers in other teams have such Is this kind of treatment?" Jie Lian snorted, "Power is limited, we can only save our own people. Haven't you heard the motto of Queen Malika? The demigods can only kill each other, and only two remain."

Wuming never responded, he kept staring at the rows of corpses on the city wall, and the weapons and shields hanging on the ropes.

Jielian continued: "And the wisdom of the demigods is something we can guess. How do you know that the current world is not a necessary sacrifice? Maybe the demigods have their own plans, which are to achieve a better world. world."

Nameless suddenly laughed:

"What a luxury."

"What?" Jielian didn't understand.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm a businessman, and I always advocate frugality." Wuming said to Jie Lian, "So I always want to solve problems in the most resource-saving way. This is my limitation, and I use this limitation to evaluate You are my problem."

Wuming stared at the charred corpse on the city wall, drooling greedily: "So much energy can be used for internal friction, I really envy you."

"But this is also a good thing, it shows that you have money, leisure and strength." Wuming hummed a song, dragging the iron chain with ease, "I will make money."

Jie Lian was speechless for a moment, he thought Wuming was talking about war, but he didn't expect Wuming to focus on business.

Jielian said: "You have also seen the situation in the Red Lion City. We have nothing to trade. It is also because I know that I have nothing, so I suspect the motives of you, a self-proclaimed businessman. What are you planning?"

"Don't underestimate yourself, even if it's a pile of shit, it will sometimes encounter dung beetles." Wuming said, "Of course you have what I want."

"what?"

"Transportation gate." Nameless said, "Look at your place, there are so many transmission gates, give me two."

Wuming bounced to a portal on the edge of the desert and kicked twice:
"You can put a portal in this kind of place, luxury, I don't want much, two are enough—"

The iron chain on Wuming's feet knocked in front of the portal, and suddenly seemed to activate the portal, and a burst of light enveloped Wuming.

"Huh?" Wuming was a little dumbfounded, "Where did this teleportation go? I still have chains on my feet, so I can't walk back if it's far away."

Jie Lian was also dumbfounded, and subconsciously replied:

"Not far, just across the river."

"That's okay." Wuming heaved a sigh of relief.

"General Ratan is just across the way."

"What the hell—"

As Wuming was speaking, he was teleported away.

When the surrounding light faded, he was already standing on the other side of the vast desert.

A burly figure was running towards him in the distance.

Even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the overwhelming momentum.

The figure pulled out two big knives, judging from the proportions, they were four or five times bigger than themselves.

This General Lataen seems to be bigger than the Fallen Star Beast.

Wuming opened his mouth wide, and looked back at Jie Lian's position. There were sand dunes blocking his view, but it shouldn't be too far away.

"Calm down." Wuming took a deep breath, "Jie Lian said that Lataen broke his feet, so he shouldn't be able to walk fast. Just run back before he comes over. There is still business to talk about."

Wuming glanced at Lataen in the distance again, wanting to confirm the distance and speed.

I saw Rataen jumping high, but did not fall, and flew directly towards Wuming.

"I boil it!"

Wearing the iron chain, Wuming hastily ran with small steps on both legs.

Unable to take big strides, Wuming's strides were so fast that an afterimage appeared.

"Jie Lian!" Across the sand dunes, Wuming couldn't see Jie Lian, so he could only cry sadly to the sky,
"I believe in your evil! This guy can fly, he cut off his feet for a fart!"
