Chapter 274 (2/2)
But the coachman's psychological quality is relatively good. Yan Chong observes in silence. The other side is only a little silent, not as lively as before. However, he is very skillful in driving the carriage, without any expression of panic and fear.
”Sir, I can only walk here. I'm afraid I will not be arrested for questioning.” The coachman pulled the reins, stopped the carriage and said to Yan Chong, ”shall we go back or stay here for a while?”
At this time, the smell of blood in the air became more and more pungent. It felt like entering a slaughterhouse. It was disgusting.
”It's all right. You just leave.” Yan Chong jumped out of the carriage and waved to the coachman.
”OK!” The coachman was relieved. He was about to turn the carriage, but he saw the torch badge on Yan Chong's chest. He was surprised and said, ”Sir, are you a member of the fire?”
Yan Chong naturally nodded and admitted his identity.
”Then I can't ask for your fare. Your fire organization has made great contributions to Xiaguang city!” The coachman lowered his head and pulled out three silver coins from his inner pocket. But when he looked up, he still gave the silver coins to Yan Chong decisively.
”No, take it.” Yan Chong declined that these silver coins were nothing to him. Drawing a few cards to sell them was much more than that. For the driver, it might be indispensable in his life.
After pushing each other off, the coachman could only put the three silver coins back into his pocket with gratitude and drove away with his carriage.
After walking along dongchengmen avenue for a while, a group of soldiers came towards Yan Chong.
After seeing the torch badge on his chest, the soldiers did not relax their vigilance. A strong soldier, about 1.9 meters tall, asked, ”what are you doing here? The gate of the east city has been sealed. No access is allowed. If you want to get out of the city, go to the west gate, where you are allowed to go out
”I'm a researcher sent by the fire headquarters to investigate and study the war. I heard that the orcs had just launched a siege, so I came here to see the east gate.” Yan Chong said, and took out the transmission permit.
The soldiers were stunned by this remark. Originally, the kindling society had a special status in the Empire. Although it was only a community formed spontaneously by the people, the spirit of the association was in line with Princess Sophia. Moreover, many activities were held in the main cities, which were very sacred in the hearts of young people.
Even the elderly civilians have heard of this association, and their comments are very high.
And when Yan Chong took out the transmission permission, the soldiers could not help believing what the other side said. If it was only a member of the fire Club of Xiaguang City branch, he would be more polite to Yan Chong, but he would not allow the other party to get close to the city wall.
But the other side is from the Imperial City, during the transmission array blockade can also get the transmission permission, the identity may not be very general.
The first soldier took out an alchemy instrument from his waist, which was similar to the card identification instrument that Yan Chong had seen before selling cards in Luk card store. He put the transmission permission into the card slot, and after confirming the authenticity of the transmission permission, he said with some enthusiasm: ”Dear Sir, please allow me to lead the way for you.”Under the leadership of the leader of the black iron peak soldier, Yan Chong walked to the wall.
The top of the wall is five meters wide, and there are walls about 1.5 meters high on both sides. There are also some holes in the wall, which can be used to observe the outside world and launch weapons such as arrows.
The walls and the ground are covered with scratches and holes, as well as dark brown bloodstains. Some soldiers wrapped in bandages lean against the wall and sit on the ground with their eyes closed. It seems that they are trying to recuperate for the next Orc attack and cherish this rare quiet time.
Yan Chong walked to the side of the outer wall and looked down. He was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The corpses are all corpses. The dense bodies are piled up on the ground outside the city wall. I don't know how many of them are. Most of them are incomplete and the death looks terrible.
If it is not treated in a short period of time, it will soon rot and even cause plague.
However, Yan Chong was also a man who had seen blood and killed hundreds of ancient people in the shelter. Naturally, there was nothing wrong with him, but he felt uncomfortable.
In any case, they were innocent refugees who died in the hands of orcs, but the soldiers in Xiaguang city were indifferent and did not save them.
He looked at it for a while and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He thought about it carefully and came to a conclusion that the wounds of these corpses were not only caused by the orcs, but more like the damage caused by fireball explosion.
Soon, he made up a scene. The orcs rushed to massacre the refugees. Then the magicians on the wall released a lot of fireball, and attacked the refugees and orcs outside the city.
The result of the analysis chilled him.
Try to start [learn], Yan Chong some unexpected discovery, unexpectedly can absorb some XP!
XP:+2.3
XP:+1.1
XP:+4.5
……
This shows that some people have just died within five minutes, so the source of soul has not yet completely dissipated!
”Is there anyone alive in this?” Yan Chong toward the side of the soldier captain asked.
”Who knows?” The captain of the soldier shook his head and said, ”but the superior doesn't let us move these bodies, and I don't know what they think.”
Then he closed his mouth, looked at the side with some guilty heart, and said in a low voice, ”please don't report what I said. I just said it in vain.”
”Don't worry.” Yan Chong kind smile, heart this is to regard him as a war reporter.
However, he felt a little strange. On a hot day, he did not allow the disposal of corpses or rescue the surviving refugees. What was this for?
Is it difficult to set some traps against the next Orc?
Yan Chong felt very uncomfortable, which made him feel the cruelty of the war, and his perception of the Maka Empire soldiers dropped more than one level.
When night came, Yan Chong came to the wall again. He had a hunch that the orcs might attack at night to attract the attention of the Empire.
