Chapter 957: Severe illnesses require potent medicine
Severe illnesses require potent medicine.
In truth, the moment he saw Ke Yinlao'er appear, regardless of whether the person before him was a slice or not, Cheng Shi knew that his and Sun Miao's deductions were entirely correct.
This High Judge from the Kat'ou Court had not only allowed the Great Judgment Court to fail, but had also played the role of the mastermind behind the scenes in this defeat, a role from which he could never wash away his guilt!
Previously, Cheng Shi had always believed that it was Ke Yinlao'er's lack of military competence that caused the Great Judgment Court's forces to collapse like a mountain. But after witnessing the other's command prowess, at this very moment, he only felt that it wasn't that Ke Yinlao'er was incompetent, but rather that he was too competent—so competent that he became arrogant and overconfident, to the point where he completely overestimated his ability to turn the tide in a desperate situation, thereby throwing away a winning game.
But this was no longer the time to ponder such questions. Cheng Shi had to be ready to run at any moment, because when the first falling meteorite smashed into the central army, the central army's counterattack would arrive immediately.
By then, Ke Yinlao'er's slices could die as they pleased, but he did not have a second life.
Whether the Authority of Vitality could withstand a meteorite still needed verification, but Cheng Shi did not want to risk his life to verify such a thing. Therefore, it was better to follow the established plan and run first as a sign of respect.
He soon slipped away among the ranks of Element Judges chanting in unison. Such an action was extremely conspicuous in the current formation where everyone was united in punishing the traitor, so much so that Ke Yinlao'er discovered Cheng Shi at the first opportunity.
But this white-haired old man did not expose Cheng Shi's abnormality, nor did his gaze linger on this slippery judge for long, because he knew that in the torrent of war, the role of an individual was truly limited. No matter how much someone with ulterior motives like Cheng Shi struggled, it could not affect the outcome of the war.
Thus, Cheng Shi slipped away very smoothly. But when he reunited with Sun Miao, he saw that Sun Miao, who should have been waiting in place, had actually run over from another direction, and with a strange expression, said to him:
"There is no doubt now. You were absolutely right; we are indeed restoring history.
Guess who I saw?"
Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat: "Ke Yinlao'er?"
"Exactly!" Sun Miao's eyes lit up. "Ke Yinlao'er really wanted to perform surgery on the Great Judgment Court with his own hands. I accidentally saw him go to an Element Judge array in a peripheral area, so I quietly followed him, and then I heard with my own ears him issuing military orders to those Element Judges. The content was... almost identical to what you fabricated.
If I didn't know the cause and effect, I would have even thought you had already witnessed this history."
"......"
It was bad. The situation seemed even more serious than he had imagined. Cheng Shi felt a tightness in his heart and hurriedly asked: "Where did he smash it? Was it also the central army?"
"The central army? No, Ke Yinlao'er doesn't care at all whether Xiao Qi usurped his position. The order he gave was to bombard the right flank. If I remember correctly, a large part of the right flank is the garrison army recruited from the Natural Alliance.
Looking at it this way, our High Judge not only wants to rebuild the order of the Great Judgment Court, but also wants to wipe out all admirers of the old 【Order】... What a tough method, what a ruthless style!"
The right flank!?
Two Kyn Laoers appeared and marked half the battle line as their target, so who knows how many more such Kyn Laoers there are!?
Damn it, history might be even crazier than he had imagined. Ke Yinlao'er might not just have boosted the failure of the Great Judgment Court; he might have created it all with his own hands!
Had he gone mad?
To put it nicely, cutting off one's head still leaves a bowl-sized scar. In this Hope Continent watched by the gods, one couldn't say it was impossible to survive, but if you burned people to ashes...
Brother, the "virus" might be dead, but you are gone too!
Cheng Shi panicked. Without a word, he took out the 【Filth-Fall】 container again to absorb his fear, and then, without further ado, pushed Sun Miao and charged outside the battle line of the Great Judgment Court.
When Sun Miao saw that this direction was not the rear as planned, but rather cutting through the ranks toward the center of the war, he frowned and said:
"The plan has changed!?"
"Changed?
Everything has changed!
Ke Yinlao'er isn't boosting the failure of this war; he is simply trying to use the meteorite fire rain to directly chisel through the rusty ship that is the Great Judgment Court. I just ran into a Ke Yinlao'er too, and his target was the central army!
Judging by this, who knows how many Ke Yinlao'ers have appeared along this entire battle line? I suspect that every Element Judge array will face a Ke Yinlao'er!
Do you understand? In a moment, there will be no other color above our heads except for the firelight of falling meteorites!
Heaven knows how many slices issued military orders at the same time!
Run! Run toward the direction of the War Legion. Since he dares to be this ruthless, he will definitely seal off the retreat paths for all the legions of the Great Judgment Court. I fear the fire rain in the rear will only be stronger than at the front. After all, on the front line, he still needs to personally wipe out the War Legion to let the troops under his command regain confidence.
So the front line might actually be the safest. Run!"
"???"
What the hell?
Sun Miao was stunned, and his footsteps even faltered unconsciously.
No, what are you talking about? Is this still official history?
Even unofficial history wouldn't dare write it like this.
Although his fear was absorbed by the 【Filth-Fall】 container, his reason still told him that Cheng Shi was right—it was time to run.
Seeing that Cheng Shi's speed was not like before, he thought the duration of the other's combat item had expired. He didn't suspect anything, just grabbed Cheng Shi and sprinted toward the front line.
This scene was seen by other knights, causing a huge uproar in the formation.
If you say these two knights are afraid of war, they are sprinting toward the very front line.
But if you say they are brave, their running posture looks like they are fleeing for their lives...
Thus, the two of them, passing through countless legion formations, attracted the full attention of the knights. Everyone was wondering what on earth these two guys were doing.
Cheng Shi was steady; he couldn't possibly use his own life to investigate 【Order】 and 【War】. So, during the escape, he kept urging Sun Miao that if the situation went wrong, they should immediately tear through the void to escape. This time, he didn't dare to hold anything back, secretly hiding his tongue in his palm, ready to slip away at any moment.
However, not long after they started running, the scene the two least wanted to see played out. A flash of red light streaked across the dim sky, and then a meteorite falling from the sky appeared in everyone's field of vision, illuminating the entire firmament in an incredibly crimson hue.
The meteorite fire rain had arrived!
Even more terrifying was that this meteorite was not smashing toward the central army, nor toward the right flank, nor even toward the battle line of the Great Judgment Court. Under the astonished and terrified gaze of everyone on the entire battlefield, this meteorite, dragging a long flame-colored tail, smashed straight toward...
The central army of the Tower of Rationality!
The Great Judgment Court had finally made a move against the Tower of Rationality, and it was on this alliance battle line that had been surrounded for so long!
"Holy shit!"
It is hard to see a wise man known for his composure blurt out such profanity. Ke Yinlao'er's "divine stroke" directly stunned this Vice President of the History School.
To be honest, if Sun Miao saw this scene in unofficial history, he would have to curse the person who wrote it for three days.
Because in all the war history concerning the Tower of Rationality and the Great Judgment Court after the mid-civilization era—no, it should be said, adding the history of the founding of the War Nation—there was not a single passage in these records that recorded the absurd scene before them.
The Great Judgment Court had struck brazenly, attacking not the remnants of the War Legion but the Tower of Rationality. Why was such important information omitted from the history of the three kingdoms?
Sun Miao couldn't figure it out, and Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out either. They only knew that at this moment, all they could do was accelerate, because just as this first meteorite smashed down, countless meteorites emerged one after another, piercing the firmament, painting the entire Boluo Highland like a purgatory.
At this moment, the firelight of war leaped onto every terrified cheek, bringing eternal fear to this land.
The entire encirclement battle line was in chaos. Only the War Legion, seeing this scene that was like divine assistance, erupted in sky-shaking cheers:
"How to survive? Only through blood and fire!"
"For 【War】, charge!"
At this moment, the morale of the 【War】 soldiers soared straight into the clouds! ===== CHAPTER 958 =====
