Knight's Infinite Journey
Chapter 64 The hourglass of the end
When Yadimu and Deli met again, it was already very late.
"Yadimu, you are back."
In the quiet room, Deli looked at Yadimu in front of him, with a smile on his face.
"Your injuries"
Yadimu looked at Deli in front of him and frowned.
Deli is in terrible shape at the moment.
His body was covered with scars, and there was a huge gash in his entire chest. The injuries looked quite horrific.
It is precisely because of this injury that Deli is already lying on the bed and can only get up reluctantly.
As for other violent movements, it is simply impossible.
"While you were away, I led people to fight those damn monsters, and I almost lost my life there."
Mentioning the previous situation, Deli couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face: "I'm not as powerful as you after all. I can't easily deal with those monsters."
"Don't say that."
Yadimu comforted him: "Everyone has their own strengths. Compared to me, you are more suitable to be a commander, responsible for commanding the army from the rear, rather than as a charging warrior, fighting against those demonized creatures. Fighting on the front line."
"maybe."
Deli smiled, showing a self-deprecating look: "But the way I look now, I can't even command in the past."
"It's a good thing that you rushed back, Yadimu, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
He sighed, and then said, "How is the situation over at Seth?"
"not bad."
Yadimu nodded and said, "The number of monsters there is relatively small, and the pressure is far less severe than here."
"I've been stationed there for a while, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"The food he promised will be delivered after a while, and the time will not be too long."
"That's good."
Hearing the news, a smile suddenly appeared on Deli's face.
In addition to the threats from monsters, the current food crisis in Xixi Town is also obvious.
During the demonic disaster, food everywhere was in short supply. Even though Seth had taken a considerable number of refugees with him when he left, the pressure was still great.
Under such circumstances, it would be the best news if Seth could bring food.
Even if they have to pay a high price for this food.
After all, compared to famine, other things are not so important for the time being.
"In my current state, I can't command you for the time being."
After chatting for a while, Deli revealed his final intention: "During my period of cultivation, I hope that you will serve as the commander of Brook Town to protect the safety of everyone in this area."
"Yadimu, what's your opinion?"
Listening to these words, Yadimu couldn't help but hesitate.
On the side, the countdown of the hourglass continues, and it is very close to the end.
But on the other hand, facing the terrifying pressure faced by Xiexi Town and Deli's expectant eyes, he really couldn't bear to refuse.
So after thinking for a moment, he nodded: "I will try my best."
"That's no problem."
Deli seemed to be relieved: "I can't believe in your ability."
"With you here, this town will be safe."
"I believe that more than anyone."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, as if he had let go of something on his mind.
On that day, Yadimu succeeded Deli and became the commander of Xixi Town.
After Deli was injured, the town of Xixi was actually in disarray.
Deli was lying on the hospital bed, unable to effectively command the guards around him. He could only ask them to station themselves in their own areas and be wary of the demonic creatures attacking from all directions.
Passive defense is obviously not in line with Yadimu's style.
There are more and more demonized creatures gathering everywhere at this moment. If we don't take the initiative to attack now and reduce some pressure, it will probably be even more terrifying later.
So the next day, Yadimu took the initiative to attack.
In order to ensure speed, he did not bring infantry, but all the warriors who could ride horses, and headed towards the large group of demonized creatures.
For a time, the results were quite obvious.
The demonized creatures are also like a ball of loose sand. Except for a few times when these demonized creatures will reach a consensus, most of the time, these demonized creatures are entrenched in their respective places and form small groups.
In normal times, these demons live in small groups, with each group having dozens to hundreds of people.
The scene where hundreds of demons gathered like before was quite rare and special.
This small collective approach undoubtedly gave Yadimu opportunities to defeat each other.
Once the monsters gather together, the damage caused is quite terrifying, but if they are scattered, then it is nothing more than that.
So at the beginning, Yadimu's actions were quite smooth.
After awakening the Seed of Life and being promoted to a knight, his strength increased a lot, and now he was like a humanoid monster, so powerful that it was suffocating.
Even the so-called powerful demon can just hit him casually in front of Yadimu.
Under his leadership, the demons everywhere were gradually defeated.
Of course, although this tactic is easy to use, it can only have such good results if Yadimu uses it.
If Deli and others come, the result will most likely be like Deli before, who will be directly beaten and seriously injured.
The difference in personal strength between Yadimu and Deli is the biggest factor in whether this tactic can be implemented.
In the successive battles, whether it was Yadimu or others, their progress was huge.
Slowly, they began to get used to this kind of fighting, and their overall strength was slowly tempered.
However, in the subsequent period, the situation gradually changed.
A few days later, the monsters in the outside world seemed to have reacted and began to take targeted actions.
Originally, there were many small demon settlements with dozens of people on the plain outside Xixi Town, but now they are no longer visible.
As far as the eye can see, there are at least two hundred demons gathered everywhere, and the distance between them is quite close.
They even learned to support. When a demon tribe was attacked, nearby demon tribes would come.
Yadimu had encountered this once before.
In that encounter, if Yadimu hadn't reacted quickly enough, their losses would have been much heavier.
All these performances made Yadimu instinctively feel uneasy.
Although demons possess intelligence, they are far inferior to normal humans. According to common sense, they should not be able to do this.
Not to mention the mutual support between monsters, which requires strong coordination skills.
Ordinary demonized creatures never have this ability.
There must be something wrong.
Yadimu gradually realized the seriousness of the problem.
Compared with external pressure, a more serious fact was before him at this moment.
At noon, the sun shone on the earth, illuminating Yadimu's face brightly.
Standing under this patch of sunshine, Yadimu stared intently in front of him.
There, a golden hourglass emerged, with gravel falling from it, and it was nearing the end.
Yes, Yadimu's time has finally come.
In fact, counting the days, Yadimu's time should have arrived a few days ago.
It was because he tried every means to delay that the hourglass slowed down a lot, giving him a few more days to deal with it.
But no matter how much it is delayed, the hourglass will eventually come to an end at this moment.
When the last grain of sand fell, the golden hourglass in front of him slowly bloomed with a pale golden brilliance.
A layer of familiar golden light was about to envelop Yadimu's entire body.
Everything seems to be as it was in the past, ushering in a new beginning.
But Yadimu didn't want that.
If it were normal times, he would just leave if he left.
But at this time, as the commander of Brook Town, once he leaves, it will have a huge impact on the current situation.
To put it bluntly, the morale of the entire Xiexi Town Guard that had finally been raised would collapse due to this.
