Chapter 563: Ending
When Ugly Bob first appeared, we said that he and his two fellow countrymen, Terrence and Philip, were originally a trio.
Normally, with their strength, the three of them should have gone on the expedition with Roman's elite team, but Ugly Bob was sick at the time, so he didn't go.
Right now, the three of them joined forces and used the complete version of "Repeated Talk" for three people. It was different from the version they used individually which was "uncontrollable from time to time". This complete version could launch a controllable attack on a large group of people in the fan-shaped range directly in front of them.
So, at this moment, the three brothers began to shout at each other repeatedly with the opposing group of people: "I am not your brother, man!" "I am not your brother, friend!" "I am not your friend, man!"... In this way, they controlled Matei and his men.
Not only can they control them, but they can also move forward while shouting, so that the rangers can hide in the uncontrolled area behind them and move forward with them, safely crossing the bridge in front of the castle and approaching the enemy.
And when the rangers all came to this side of the bridge, there was no need for any control.
Just now, we were pointed at by you with a large number of bows and crossbows across the moat, which was indeed a dangerous situation. But now the two sides are in close combat and we have the first move, so even if our camp is full of wounded soldiers, it is more than enough to defeat you.
After a moment, Ugly Bob saw that the rangers had almost drawn their bows and swords, so he slowly raised his hand, as if preparing to make a gesture and stop the control at the same time.
Matei and his men watched this scene helplessly, but were completely powerless to do anything. Their hearts were gradually crushed by fear and despair, but their bodies could only continue to shout the same repetitive words with distorted expressions.
The battle, from start to finish, lasted only a few dozen seconds.
The rangers defeated the enemy's front row almost instantly, and those in the back row... they were worthy of being Matei's trainees. When they saw the situation was not good, they wanted to turn around and run away immediately, without any intention of supporting the people in the front row. This retreat would only make them lose faster.
Sun and Huang were like two wild dogs that had broken free from their reins. They rushed towards Matei at an astonishing speed, and used the strategy of "capture the leader first" to pull the old thief off his horse and pin him to the ground.
As for the Popescu brothers beside Matei, they were not as lucky this time...
Last time, because the situation was unclear and he wanted to take them back for questioning, Brother Sun chose to capture them alive. But this time, their mastermind, Matei, has shown up, and they meet on the battlefield again, so Sun Yixie will not be polite to them. He swung his halberd forward, and the tall one immediately became shorter than the short one. As for the short one, it can only be said that... the head on his neck left him forever with some unbearable memories.
We will not go into details about how the rangers dealt with these remnants of the defeated army afterwards.
Back at the castle, just as the rangers finished fighting with Matei's men, Miao Yinzi and Roman came out of the ruins.
Roman's life was undoubtedly saved with Balder's sacrifice and Miao Yinzi's assistance. Balder also fulfilled himself as a martyr and ended his journey.
Before leaving, Miao Yinzi was very responsible and left an Eastern formation here to re-consolidate the seal of the castle, which could be considered as "sending a Buddha to the West".
They all got together, chatted for a few minutes, and learned about each other's experiences. Then they took the captives they had just captured and returned to the nearby village along the mountain road.
You wouldn't know until you go there, but once you get there you'll find that the village has already been looted by Matei's men.
It turned out that the people led by Matei entered the village in the afternoon. As soon as they entered the village, they started to shout and demand that the villagers cooperate with their sect, such as giving up inns and houses for them to rest, and slaughtering pigs and sheep to entertain them with food and drink.
But in this kind of situation, it's one thing for someone to voluntarily entertain you, but it's another thing for you to demand it forcefully.
The villagers were so angry at that time. Fortunately, there was a wise man named Hama.
After all, Hama had been out in the world and had seen some of the world, so he knew what kind of person Matei was as soon as he saw him; if you go against such a person, he will label your entire village as "pagans" in a matter of minutes, and then he will kill all of you, and then all your problems will be over.
In line with the principle of never suffering a loss in front of him, Hama advised everyone to be patient and bargain with the other party himself.
However, bargaining is based on the premise that both parties have bargaining chips. How can you return the favor when others are the butchers and you are the meat?
Eventually, Hama was arrested and, after being tortured, was charged with "providing assistance to infidels."
When the villagers saw Hama being captured, they rose up in resistance, but they were no match for the fully armed soldiers. After some of them were killed or injured, they had no choice but to surrender.
Then, Matei's men detained all the villagers. They had originally planned to kill them all tonight. In the end, they could just kill them all and put the blame on the rangers. But as the sun was setting, there was a loud noise at the castle (it was actually starting to collapse), and they thought the situation there was more urgent, so they left about a quarter of their troops here to guard the village, and the others went to the castle along the mountain road.
Now the rangers brought the captured prisoners back to the village, and saw that some of the soldiers who stayed in the village were looting all kinds of food and property in the houses, while others were forcing the detained villagers to hand over their women... Then they understood everything: you are preparing to welcome the large army and then hold a "celebration banquet" in the village together.
This time, everyone was really not going to be polite to these people. They didn't take any prisoners and just wanted to get rid of this harm to the people.
The scene of slaughter was very painful for Miao Yinzi, a monk. So soon after the fight started, he said to Huang Donglai, "Old Immortal, this scene is too cruel. I am a kind-hearted monk and cannot bear to see this. I'd better help you find a cesspool to step on first."
Then he really went to help his apprentice find a place to "deal with Matei".
How could one say that the relationship between the master and the disciple is pretty good? Miao Yinzi had just heard Sun Yixie say that Huang Donglai was going to kill Mattei today, and he took that to heart and decided to do something for his disciple.
To make a long story short, it didn't take the rangers long to defeat all the men brought by Matei and rescue the imprisoned villagers and Hama.
While everyone was trying to appease the villagers, Sun Yixie came out and said that Huang Ge was going to perform a big show for everyone...
In fact, what Huang Donglai said to Matei before was also an angry remark, but he didn't expect that Brother Sun listened to it and added fuel to the fire, deliberately letting Miao Yinzi get involved. Now he has to do it even if he doesn't want to... It's as if he really has this kind of fetish.
But you know what, the villagers also like to watch it.
People all over the world have the same mentality. Let's not talk about the Geneva Convention. If you let an invader leader fall into the hands of the invaded local people today, he can die in any way, even slow slicing would not be enough to satisfy his hatred.
Of course, killing him would be satisfying, but there would be corresponding troubles afterwards. Everyone knew that those who had interests related to Matei would come knocking sooner or later, and the rangers could not stay here to protect the village forever.
Therefore, Hama finally decided to take the remaining villagers away from the land.
Oh~ Isn't this a coincidence? There just happens to be a lord in the ranger team... With Coman's ability of "accounting", it is not difficult to migrate these people to his own territory without anyone noticing. He just did this favor.
At this point, Shuangxie’s journey to the west has basically come to an end.
The next day, the ranger team led by Lao Feng returned along the same route with the villagers and Coman.
More than a month later, they returned to Oneşti safely. After confirming that Coman's son had awakened from the curse, everyone said goodbye to Coman, returned to the ranger camp, and reported the situation of the mission to the "old guys" in the organization.
Philibert Belmondo, the young legendary demon hunter, also went with Lao Feng and the others to the Ranger Organization. After all, the whole thing was caused by a letter for help from him, and he also wanted to give an explanation.
However, after the "confession", he disappeared mysteriously again. Perhaps Belmondo will not reappear until the next time there are rumors of vampires.
After that, a few weeks later, Lao Fengzhen took a group of people and left the organization, switching to a professional circus. Of course, the "demon hunting" business was still secretly inherited by them as a side job.
And Tyrael, after several years, finally reunited with his mentor and good friend Roman; they did not go back with Lao Feng to report, but after thanking Shuangxie and Miaoyinzi and bidding farewell to everyone, they embarked on a journey of rangers again. Since then, the two of them have left many popular legendary stories on the European continent.
Lord Comman Gabriel Basta, after successfully rescuing his wife and returning to his territory, lived peacefully into his old age. After his death, his son Roy inherited his territory and also became a wise ruler.
The disappearance of Matei and his large group of men did attract the attention of the church, and they sent some people to investigate. But not long after, Romania was involved in several wars with Turkey and Austria, and Transylvania happened to be in the war zone, so the matter was left unresolved.
Several years later, the Austrian army penetrated deep into Transylvania and forced the rulers at the time to sign a treaty "inviting" the Austrian army to provide "paid protection" to this place... To put it simply, a bloody suppression and actual occupation of this place lasted for more than a century.
Those so-called legends of gods and monsters, and the eerie shadows of lonely castles, all disappeared in the torrent of history along with the wars.
Only some traces are left in some literary works and folk legends.
…………
The night is as quiet as water.
In a small chapel, a man and a woman were leaning against each other, sitting in front of a statue of a goddess.
He is still the same boy, but his face shows more signs of aging.
She is still the same girl, but her face shows more signs of aging.
Not long ago, they held their wedding ceremony in this place where time seemed to stand still forever.
The boy put a stone ring he made on the girl's finger, and the girl put a ring she woven with flowers and plants on the boy's finger.
Now, the girl fell asleep on the boy's shoulder.
Her breathing was steady and her expression was peaceful. The boy could not bear to wake her up, so he just whispered in her ear:
"Wherever you are, there is a sanctuary of peace.
Your eyes are like a beacon in the night sea.
Your divine mercy is like the pouring down of moonlight.
You gently raise your hand and soothe the traveler's wounds."
