Catalog of the Lost - a searing epic

"I didn't know how to light the powder jar, it rained, the torches went out, and the oil line soaked in muddy water. "

Durin broke free of David's hands, his eyes swirling between the extinguished torches and the oil threads soaked in the muddy water, his mind unable to think properly in a panic, and he paced anxiously back and forth in the rain.

It

had been dozens of minutes since the first sound was heard inside the fortress, but Durin, who was in charge of blowing up the watchtower, was doused by the sudden rain that destroyed his confidence, leaving only the dazed Will and the constantly urging David.

"Calm down, Durin, only you know what this thing is going to do now, and you've got to think of a way to make this thing work. "

"How do I know, can I be blamed for this? I only touched this thing for the first time yesterday, and I didn't even know what it was, I just knew what it was doing and pulling a line!

Du Lin kept yelling because of panic, he just wanted to shirk the responsibility at the first time, he had completely lost his cool at this time, and in desperation, David had to give up looking for a way to light the gunpowder jar in his mouth, he lowered his body, picked up the oil line in the rain, and observed it carefully for a while, but he still didn't understand the principle of this thing.

The unknown complicated David Film's thoughts, he would never have imagined that such a dangerous thing only needed to be ignited to work, but now that the torch had been extinguished, the only chance and hope of victory had been extinguished at this moment, and the atmosphere stiffened for a while.

David blocked the oil line with his body, wiped the oil off the line with both hands, and at the moment when his hands were soaked in oil, he had no confidence, because he really couldn't understand how to use this kind of thing, and he couldn't even imagine it, so he could only press his forehead with self-blame and whispered: "Damn, Yoni... There's no way, go tell Emel to get ready to retreat. "

At this moment, Mora rushed over with Emer's troops, David looked from a distance and did not find Emer's figure, and when he was puzzled, a soldier in charge of the herald walked up to him, and the three of them knew that Emel had temporarily changed his mind, which was equivalent to changing the original plan to evacuate in case of an accident to a desperate fight.

"Is that guy crazy", David shouted mercilessly in front of everyone, "In this case, you still have to choose to attack! Shouldn't you retreat as planned now? I didn't expect him to be this kind of person..."

The object of David's yelling was Mora, and even if Mora was not the one who made the decision, he accepted the insult in silence, because the status of the two was like this, and David's anger completely exploded at this moment.

"Damn", David scolded, his eyes moved to Dulin who was talking to himself behind him, and directly punched the other party's face, knocking Dulin to his stomach in the muddy water, and then David directly grabbed Durin's armor, pulled him up from the ground, and ordered, "Tell me quickly when you calm down, if there is any other way to destroy that thing to destroy the watchtower!".

"There's no way around it now, isn't the plan supposed to retreat..."

"It's time to go, now..."

Suddenly, David's words were interrupted by a commotion in the fortress, followed by loud cheers.

"The Seventh Warrior of the Empire!Hammer Oja challenges Oja in the name of glory!".

Emer's voice came from behind as well, shouting, "Yoni!".

David, who realized that something was wrong, also came back to his senses at this moment, he forced his anger to calm down, and even the strength in his hands relaxed a lot.

"Calm down, Durin, both of us calm down, this kind of accident is something none of us want to see, but it just happened, and whether it was in the past or in the future, it will definitely be repeated countless times, we can't plan everything before acting, if we retreat in the event of an accident, how can we survive in this world full of accidents, how can we win this war in the face of people who want to run away in the face of accidents, now calm down, tell me how to use that thing, and then want to escape, or want to stay, whatever you want。 "

At that moment, Durin's mind flashed the figures of his family, especially his father Clay Sanda and his younger brother Dulman, even though both of them were dead, but in Doolin's impression, there was never a panicked look of them, only an optimistic smile and a solid and reliable back.

Durin has always thought that Claysanda was only lucky to be identified, but when he heard the name of his younger brother Durman in Emer's mouth, he felt that it was not lucky, and he dreamily thought that his father was also a person worthy of being remembered by the big man like his younger brother, but when he thought of the two, his own gap would always make him feel inferior and unable to raise his head, even because his brother himself stood next to the big man, it did not make him regain any confidence.

Because in fact, Durin Clay Sanda is the only ordinary person in the Clay Mountain family who has no ability, and if he dies on the battlefield, he will only be a corpse that cannot be identified.

But at this moment, Durin saw David's expression, telling his unwillingness to give up, and his desire to find a way to break through the desperate situation in himself, as well as David's unwillingness and humiliation of powerlessness, which was an expression that could never appear on his face, and because of this, he, they, were the ones who could open up a way forward in a desperate situation.

"I remember, the device that Yoni used to ignite the gunpowder canister before, detonate the gunpowder canister with sparks generated by collision, yes, that's right, it's just rain now, there is no wind, so the rain can't wet the canister stuck in the groove of the watchtower, as long as the mouth of the canister is opened, the gunpowder inside is exposed, and a little more spark can be detonated. "

"I didn't understand, that is... Is it okay to have a little bit of Mars?".

Even if David still can't understand, at this stage he can only give up understanding and act exactly according to this only method.

In the blink of an eye, Mora had already led the troops to a short distance, Dulin seemed to suddenly remember something, did not explain to David at all, jumped up directly from the ground, rushed to the watchtower, David ran to Mora to ask if there were any burning torches, but the answer was still no, he had to order Mora and the troops to stand by, and he ran to Durin's side again.

Looking from afar, David saw that Durin removed the armor on his left arm, ripped off the clothes that were not soaked by the rain, and began to wipe the rain from the wall of the watchtower, looking at the part of the wall that had been wiped dry, David suddenly understood Durin's thoughts, and both of them couldn't help but think of Emer's training scene, the sparks of the two swords rubbing under the collision.

David also immediately removed all the armor on his body, covered his chest and abdomen with his body and handed it to Durin, who also immediately took the cloth, wiped a small part of the wall, and put it on top in a clump to cover the endless flow of rainwater.

After the two glanced at each other, David was about to draw his sword, only then did he find that his hands were full of oil that he had just touched, and he couldn't even hold the hilt of the sword, so he had to tear the remaining clothes in half, wring them out and wrap them around his hands to hold the sword again, but he hesitated before touching the hilt of the sword, because he suddenly remembered that there was oil on the hilt of the sword because of the touch just now.

Seeing this, Durin shouted, "Use my sword!

David ran straight to the other side of Durin and drew his sword, then immediately ran back, sword in both hands, ready to swing it at the wall.

The

rain on the walls had soaked all his clothes, and seeing that the rain was about to fall, David had to swing his sword immediately, and only once.

"Die, Imperial!".

David roared, aiming at the wall at the closest distance between the wall and the gunpowder, imagining that position as a point, his arms gathered strength, and swung his sword towards a point, and all the sticky rain on the sword surface was thrown out in an instant, and the blade cut off the raindrops, straight to that point.

Suddenly, David saw his father's figure when he was young, as if he was directing something, pointing to the bottom of that point, David subconsciously slashed towards that place, making the landing point of the blade deviate a little distance from his predetermined point, but it was this distance that rubbed sparks, because the place he was aiming at just now, the wall was not dry, and the only thing that was not wet by the rain was the point that his father pointed to.

David stared at the sparks touching the gunpowder, and it only felt like it was long, long, long enough to make him think of many things, but in reality it was less than a second.

'Thank you, Doolin Claysant. ’

David's eyes slowly looked in the direction of Du Lin, and he could only see the black armor, and the white light that appeared in front of his eyes in the next second, and a deafening sound erupted in his ears at the same time.

For a long time afterward, David was accompanied only by a chaotic brain and constant tinnitus, he couldn't think and recall, his body was uncontrollable, he didn't know how long it took for the tinnitus to fade away, and the five senses began to return.

The burning sensation on his face was unbearable, although he didn't open his mouth, he still felt the rain dripping on his tongue, after the tinnitus ended, David was accompanied by the sound of the rain and the sound of iron boots trampling the water, after the vision returned, he turned his head to look to the side in the blood-red vision, only to see a man in armor lying there, but he couldn't remember who he was, and he couldn't remember what had happened, but the words that kept coming to him urged him.

"Stand up, go to fight, go to be the salvation of the Father. "

The watchtower had collapsed with a roar, and smashed into the walls of the fortress as planned, and the watchtower became a bridge through the ruins of the walls.

David's body relied on faith to get back on his feet, he shook off the cloth from his hands, drew his sword with the hilt soaked in oil, and climbed the collapsed watchtower and walked along the bridge.

In the dust of the ruins, David Filmin was the first to step out, raising his sword with the last of his strength and pointing forward.

"Charge!".

Then, the sword slipped from David Film's hand and fell off the wall with him.
