The weak scholar in the end of ancient times

Chapter 52 Nobody
The flames spewed out from the fierce fire oil tank and the instantaneous killing caused by the high temperature can make the individuals facing it completely lose their attack power.

They were covered in flames, smashed against the city walls, hit the big shields, and fell down, bringing the flames to more evil creatures below and igniting many fire pots.

The flame will never go out if it touches you.

Those evil creatures that rushed towards me continued to rush forward like insects flying towards a fire in the dark night.

Even if it turned into a monster, it was still essentially a mortal body. How could it possibly withstand such a devastating blow?!
It was as if the screams and wails of many wild beasts gathered together to form a strange buzzing sound, spreading from outside the city to inside.

People in the city cannot see what is happening outside and below the city wall.

But the line of fire that lit up on the city wall and the screams of the monsters were a ray of hope, a promise that needed no words.

Is Renvalve powerful?
See for yourself!
The shocking scene ahead made many people who had a deep hatred for the evil creatures suppress their cowardice at this moment, and a surge of blood arose in them. They wanted to jump onto the city wall with the magic weapon and spread their wings like a roc!

It also made all those who joined the Ren family, whether they were wealthy families or common people, deeply rooted in the idea of staying here.

In a certain stand, someone howled loudly, then laughed out loud: "This is destiny!!"

The front line continues to burn.

Burning debris and smoke were picked up by the wind and flew into the city.

These fragments burned by the flames do not carry any evil, but they make the sky gradually become gray and smoke hangs in the air.

Some evil creatures crossed the line of fire defense, but the fully armed defenders on the city wall were already waiting, and their sharp blades continued to cut the invading monsters.

A small number of evil creatures also broke through the defenders on the city wall and climbed over to the inner city.

But there were also city defense troops waiting there.

Not only that, many ruffians from the outer city were holding long-handled farm tools and sharp weapons, laughing and rushing forward to grab the credit.

Wine is expensive, so they have to kill some evil creatures to buy wine!
The tower of the inner city.

The seventh son of the Ren family looked at the battle situation in front of him.

As he calculated the time, his slightly serious expression gradually relaxed.

Victory is decided.

A slight smile appeared on his face, and his voice was leisurely: "As fast as flying, as strong as a pen, as strong as anger."

After nearly two years of continuous fighting, they have come to understand those evil creatures more and more.

They have no human consciousness at all, do not understand military strategies, and are not familiar with the ways of the world. They rely entirely on primitive instincts and rush forward under the influence of group behavior. They are all moving targets.

What evil spirits and monsters?
After all...

"Just a bunch of idiots!"

What we really need to deal with is the evil poison that created these evil creatures.

Seeing the burning debris floating in front of him, he turned around and was about to go into the room.

There is no need to watch the battle anymore.

After the battle, there would be someone else responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and the city walls, so he didn't need to say anything more. If even that couldn't be done, someone else would be replaced.

But before entering the house, he suddenly turned his head to look at the high platforms on the city wall, and his eyes swept over them one by one from the nearby stands.

Some people in the stands noticed this and bowed in greeting, while others were too engrossed in the battle ahead to pay attention.

There’s more…

There was a high platform where someone had noticed this place. He could sense the other person's gaze. It was a little far away, so he couldn't see their face clearly, but he was probably a scholar.

The other party just looked at this side without bowing.

Young Master Ren Qi frowned.

The attendant beside him was nervous: "Sir? Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing. Just a nobody."

Master Ren Qi didn't take it to heart.

As for that gaze, it was probably a look up from the bottom.

The attendant beside him breathed a sigh of relief and carefully glanced at his master's expression as he looked outside.

Yes, yes, that’s the kind of condescending look you get when you look down at a dog!
That's good! It means you didn't take it seriously!

Not everyone can be the young master's attendant. Every man has his own position. Recently, the wealthy families from the south have been recommending their young people. No matter whether they are men or women, they are all competitors!
Here.

Wen Gu withdrew his gaze.

Xiao Liu, who was standing nearby, was about to ask about the fierce fire oil tank again, but when he saw Wen Gu not paying attention to the battle situation ahead, he asked, "What happened to Second Brother Wen?"

Wen Gu said, "Nothing much. I just saw beads of sweat on the faces of some of the monks who were chanting the sutras."

The sun appeared briefly just now, and when it shone on the monks' faces, it reflected a small piece of light.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m tired from chanting or because I’m nervous.

He sighed softly, "Will Buddha be afraid of the attacks of those monsters?"

Xiao Liu looked over but didn't see anything. Then he looked at the young man next to him and asked, "Does the Buddha also fear evil?"

The young man who had been muttering about the fierce fire oil cabinet almost jumped up when he heard this: "How can Buddha be afraid? Don't talk nonsense! Anyone who is afraid must have no Buddha in their heart!"

"Then there must be no Buddha in your heart." Xiao Liu said.

"You're talking nonsense! My family goes to the temple every year to add incense oil, and we worship Buddha devoutly!"

"You're sweating."

"I'm wearing a lot of clothes today, and the artifact ahead is hot. I'm hot!"

Xiao Liu didn't know whether to believe it or not. He was actually quite scared just now. Could it be that there was no Buddha in my heart? Was I not destined to be with Buddha?

Listening to the conversation next to him, Wen Gu stabbed Taoist Qing Yi again: "There are many wealthy Buddhists here."

Taoist Priest Qingyi: “…” Shut up!
Review the past and look forward.

The line of fire on the outer city wall was shrinking, indicating that the offensive of the evil creatures outside had been greatly weakened.

The commotion that had just occurred in the outer city gradually subsided.

The sky gradually darkened in the afternoon. The temperature in Jinwu City remained scorching hot due to the fighting on the front line. The diffuse smoke and dust were swept into the air by the warm wind.

But outside Jinwu City, night fell and the temperature dropped.

Even though the overall temperature has risen over the past few days, it's still autumn and winter, so the nights are still quite low. After the cluster of evil creatures outside the city was weakened, the group's influence decreased, and many of the individuals on the periphery have spontaneously retreated.

The heat from the burning flames and the smoke from their own burning companions frightened them, and their beast-like survival instinct drove them away from this place.

Those who have not retreated will gradually become slower in movement as the temperature drops.

They were no longer a threat to Jinwu City. Those close could be shot, and those far away could be ignored.

The soldiers in the city were not in a hurry to open the gates and pursue the enemy. Now was not the right time to pursue. Waiting until the temperature dropped would be the best time to go out hunting.

To be precise, when the cold wave arrives and the weather changes, the entire north will begin this year's autumn hunting season!

They will go out to clear out the threats on the territory, and clear a path for the wealthy people moving from the south to the north, so as to absorb fresh blood and supplies.

After a battle of attack and defense, the outer city wall became even more mottled. Even though the fierce oil tank was no longer spewing fire, the wall was still scorching hot. Blood and sweat dripping there made a hissing sound and left a lot of marks.

Most of the guards still alive on the city wall had burns on their bodies and might suffer from sequelae that would accompany them for the rest of their lives, making them unable to serve as city guards anymore.

But there is no shortage of people here.

It's autumn and winter again, and the fleeing refugees and the large groups migrating from south to north will fill the gaps.

Wen Gu and his companions walked down from the stands on the inner city wall, and Xiao Liu said goodbye to the young man.

He heard this man from the South talk about many dangers in the South.

"Being eaten by these monsters is far more terrifying than being eaten by wild beasts in the mountains! No wonder so many people are rushing north!"

As they were talking, Xiao Liu suddenly thought of something and asked Wen Gu, "Will there be a cluster of evil creatures in our village?"

Wen Gu said bluntly, "I'm not sure, but with so many people from the south migrating north, the evil creatures in the south might chase us here in the future. If your village is in their path..."

The color drained from Xiao Liu's face.

Even if the village is built into a fort, what will happen if faced with such an attack?
Are there city walls as tall as Jinwu City?

Are there so many warriors and artifacts?!
Recalling the dark wave he saw in the stands, Xiao Liu took a deep breath.

There is no doubt that there is no need to rely on luck at all. If they really encounter such a situation, their village will be submerged in one fell swoop.

Wen Gu comforted him, "If the Northland can be settled, you can find a chance to bring them over. You are the hope of your village, the whole village!"

Xiao Liu nodded heavily.

The desire to stand out has become stronger.

On their way back, they saw the monks again.

Monks have heavy tasks, and people today value sacrificial rituals and want to provide psychological and spiritual blessings.

There are prayers for mercy and salvation before the war, spells to slay evil spirits and demons during the war, and after the war, there is a trip to the outer city wall to purify the souls and pray for salvation.

When passersby saw the monks, they showed them special respect and learned to perform Buddhist rituals.

According to passers-by, after finishing the work on the outer city wall, the monks will go out to continue purifying their karma and praying for the souls of the dead.

It is not easy to recite it for several hours.

His business ability is so strong that most of his peers can hardly beat him!
Seeing that Taoist Master Qing was still staring at the group of monks, he tried to persuade him again:
"Okay, stop looking. This isn't your strong point."

Just follow me to the Zhao clan to make elixirs!
Taoist Qingyi rarely refuted this, or rather, he was in no mood to dwell on it. His face was not good.

The Ren family worships Buddhism, and Taoism is declining, so the chances are too small.

Back at the courtyard where the team rested, the team members in the yard were also discussing the battle ahead heatedly.

Although they did not follow Wen Gu to the city wall to watch the battle, they also sent people out to inquire about the situation. There were also people guarding the door at all times so they knew the general situation.

Wen Gu also thought about those fierce fire oil tanks.

Thinking back carefully, those fierce fire oil tanks may have made improvements to deal with evil things in the past one or two years.

It's amazing that it has improved to this extent!

It also means that there are many talented people here! Maybe they used to be from the Military Equipment Bureau!
When the world was not in chaos and the emperor was still alive, the Ren family hid a lot of secret technologies and materials.

The accumulation of aristocratic families is extraordinary, and some things will not be easily shown to others when the world is peaceful.

Now that the world has changed, they no longer hide their strength, but instead show their strength openly, and even use it to attract those families to join them.

Incendiary fuel, petroleum, and war reserve supplies.

The Ren family does have the strength to dominate in such a chaotic world.

Wen Gu was thinking about something and asked someone to keep an eye on the developments in the outer city to see when the city gate would open and when they could go out.

Night falls.

Many places in the inner city of Jinwu City were brightly lit, and the newly arrived wealthy people from the south were so excited that they could not sleep at night.

In the outer city, although there were few fires, that was because people could not afford candles, so firewood was used sparingly and no fires were lit at night. Similarly, people were awake everywhere.

The next day, after dawn, more people in the city discussed yesterday's battle.

You don't have to ask specifically, you can hear similar words in the yard.

Basically,

"Golden Crow City is protected by the divine bird, and destiny lies with us!"

"Master So-and-so from the inner city has made a great bet!"

"So-and-so, the defender of the city, has made a great contribution this time. He's been promoted and made a fortune, and he's moved into the inner city with his family!"

"I'm not going to X Valve anymore. I want to fight for a future here!"

"The outer city is also going to build a temple. I'll definitely go there and donate some money when the time comes!"

……

Similar words.

Wen Gu suspected that someone in the city was manipulating public opinion.

"This Ren family has so many talented people!"

The Taoist priest next to him had a sullen face and was mumbling in his heart:

I don’t even have a Taoist temple, but those monks already have several temples!
