Chapter 341: I’m in charge when the captain is not around!
Chapter 341 The Captain is not here, I am in charge!
Fengtian Hall, as the core of the imperial city, is located in the center of the inner court axis of Zijin City.
To enter the inner court, one must pass through the majestic Tai'an Gate.
As the last checkpoint to enter the inner court, this door must be extremely dangerous. Before reaching it, one can hear the heart-wrenching wails from afar, which are continuous and frightening to those who hear them.
After killing off the fragile guards and passing through numerous palace gates, the hundreds of remaining players were stopped in their tracks by the scene in the small square as soon as they arrived in front of Tai'an Gate.
Hundreds of thick chains were spread out in a pattern above the square city gate.
The chains were neatly hung with scarecrow-like creatures, their mouths wide open, their tongues stretched out and hanging on iron hooks, screaming in pain.
Blood dripped and splattered along the straw on their bodies, forming a classic, sticky, bright red blood carpet on the ground.
One player asked: "What kind of monster is this?"
Zhuge Jing, a young think tank of the first team, pushed up his glasses and said, "It's a fur fish."
The so-called fur fish is not a real fish, but refers to a person who has suffered cruel punishment.
In the era of feudal monarchy, if the emperor was incompetent and unjust, he would easily favor eunuchs and treacherous ministers and persecute loyal and capable ministers.
The fur fish was a punishment specifically used to deal with loyal civil officials.
The executioner would skin the official alive, then wrap a layer of dry straw around his body as new skin so that the straw could act like needles and constantly pierce the official's flesh and blood, causing him excruciating pain. Finally, the executioner would pull out the official's tongue, hang an iron hook on it, and hang it on the city gate. In this way, a fur fish was ready.
In this way, other officials would be frightened by the miserable conditions of their colleagues when passing through the city gate before going to court, and would never dare to disobey the emperor again.
The nine clans of these fur fish will be demoted to vegetable people and sent to the vegetable market to be bought and sold.
But the key point is that those hanging in the sky are all truly loyal people who are pleading for the country. Even if they are tortured, they are still loyal to the country. When facing players, they will still attack with all their might to defend the country.
Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of these monsters is generally not high. Even though the scene is a bit intimidating, it can't scare this team of battle-hardened players at all.
“Hehehehe, Captain Yu is not here, so it’s finally my turn to be in charge!”
Ouyang Ming was so excited that he shaved his orange hair into an adult-like appearance, and temporarily appointed himself as the acting captain. He coughed twice and said to the players behind him:
"Everyone, follow my command---!"
Before he could call for war, the believers of the End Times Church took the lead.
"Kill!"
Stepping on blood and flying flowers, the players passed Ouyang Ming and rushed forward in one go, starting to attack the city gate with boiling blood!
Ouyang Ming: "Hey, you guys...!"
Zhuge Jing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Idiot."
Then he drew his sword and charged into the battlefield.
Although their combat power was infinitely suppressed, none of the players who have survived to this day were afraid of fighting. They rushed forward with knives, guns, sticks and clubs picked up from anywhere!
The siege began.
The iron chain trembled violently, the fur fish was stimulated, and the long hanging tongue was torn one by one by the iron hook!
Snap----!
Snap----!!!
Snap----!
The loyal ministers of Fur fell into the pool of blood one after another, climbed up with difficulty, stumbled and vomited blood, spit out their torn long tongues, shouted about injustice, the country, and the society, and rushed towards the players!
"I am innocent...! I am innocent!"
"Loyal souls will never die, they will protect my country! You... bastards, give me your lives!"
"Torture is only physical pain, but sacrificing one's life for the country is like returning home!"
"A traitorous minister is ruining the country, a traitorous minister is ruining the country... I have given my country so much in vain, but now I will... fall into the hands of a traitor!"
"Live as a hero, die as a... ghost hero!"
"Life, since ancient times... everyone is mortal. Stay, stay, stay, and record it in history!"
Different from ordinary fur fish, and even more different from the previous crispy guards, this group of fur fish are brave and good at fighting. They turn their determination into strength, their loyalty into blood, and the straw on their bodies into golden spikes, which make it difficult for the players to move and force them to retreat again and again.
"What's going on!? Is this a fucking civilian or a hedgehog?!"
"It's the civil servants! They can recite poems!"
"It's that dog emperor inside who's ruining the country! Don't beat us up!"
"There's something about this big fur fish."
"Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution! If we keep fighting like this, we'll really be doomed!"
"Think of a way, think of a way, mirror, what should I do! My knife is broken!"
"So annoying! Get behind me!"
Just when the players were gradually suppressed and were about to retreat back out the gate, a loud noise suddenly came from above the city gate!
"Get out of the way!"
When everyone looked up, they saw Zhong Liang, who was majestic and tall in a tight dress, standing on the high iron chain, holding his beloved Gatling gun and aiming at the fur fish below!
then----
Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock----!!!
Bullets rained down, straw burst into flames, and blood splattered.
The powerful firepower blew away the first wave of fur fish, giving the players some breathing time.
"It's General Zhong!"
"Master Yu!"
"Uncle Huo!!!"
Two and a half saviors descended from the sky and joined the crowd. Ouyang Ming was so happy that he couldn't believe his eyes. He jumped up and said:
"Uncle Huo Huo Huo!? You're back! How did you come back!?"
"It's a long story, so I won't go into it for now."
Huo Hu quickly tapped on his phone and soon summoned a mountain of guns. He asked, "Who's in need of weapons? Come to me and get them!"
"Me me me!!"
"I, I, I need it too!!!"
"Brother Huo! I beg you for a shotgun!"
It was as if the community was distributing free eggs, and players rushed in.
There were all kinds of props, including swords, machine guns, rocket launchers, various grenades, cold and hot weapons, which solved the urgent problem.
The players were fully armed and opened fire at full power. In less than five minutes, they killed all the fur fish without leaving a single one alive.
However, unlike the fragile guards and despicable eunuchs, none of this group of loyal ministers retreated until the very end. They all died in the most tragic way under the players' fire, which was a pity.
Zhong Liang felt most regretful when he saw these virtuous ministers who were beaten into sieves, soaked in pools of blood, and sacrificed their lives for the country.
"They are all good officials who are loyal to their country. It's a pity that they were born in the wrong era."
Yu Lao asked back: "Then in which era should they be born?"
Our time?
Weren't those truly loyal officials and executives who discovered the conspiracy early on also dealt with by Jiang Jian?
The battle between good and evil knows no time or place.
We will always need these loyal people to carry the heavy burden and move forward.
Thinking of this, the players fell silent, mourning for the enemies who died in battle and for their own bleak ending.
Boom!
After the last wave of monsters before the level was eliminated, the heavy Tai'an Gate slowly opened.
I saw a huge and complicated altar in the open square at the end of the city gate.
In the altar stands a marble sundial.
There was a man standing in front of the sundial, operating something on it with great concentration.
The man with fox eyes changed out of his minister's attire and wore a Five Mountains Spiritual Map crown on his head, a dark blue Taoist robe embroidered with the Twelve Chapters pattern, court beads around his neck, and a flute and sword on his waist. He looked very dignified and decent.
It was this evil god puppet who caused them to fall into this state and escape death, the source of all sin!
Damn it Jiang Jian!
