The war is really over.
The magical energy surrounding the city of Tania gradually dissipated as the battles between several parties converged. The restorers who were secretly fighting with the Council of Mages also seemed to be affected by some kind of news. After the purple light stagnated, they gradually
The ground receded. Bernard, who led thousands of imperial soldiers and had countless capable men, should not have given up on the great victory that he had achieved by storming into the center of Tania City. He should not have given up on the great opportunity that might bring a new era to this continent.
, but he was facing someone who had created the "Fear Cold" and even the emperor was polite to him, so it was impossible not to have fear in his heart.
What's more, this was when the Eta County Allied Forces and the Xifeng County Allied Forces appeared beside them.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor, who has experienced hundreds of battles, cannot ignore the existence of the two reinforcements. Unfortunately, the previous battle situation was too anxious, and the efforts over the past few days have finally yielded results, so even Bernard
Generals like De did not notice the siege troops that were supposed to appear in the east of the city but never showed up. What it meant to them was that when they first arrived at the gate of the city, the defenders still lacked the reinforcements from the two counties.
There was a conflict, but after they fought with the imperial people who came to occupy the city gate, and then made their intention clear, the few principal defenders and players hurriedly opened the passage, allowing them to move towards the parliament hall.
Rushed over. Then the appearance of the mysterious purple light and the subsequent commotion in the city became the last note of this war. We saw a large number of reinforcements looming in the east of the Parliament Square, and finally appeared in the west of the square.
After seeing the figure of a certain bard, the helpless imperial coalition commander finally gave the order to retreat, and left this devastated place under the watch of Sister Christine.
"Impossible! Didn't this @# get shot down?" At the side door of the parliament hall, Freefly with a manic expression shouted loudly: "Why?"
"Go back and greet your emperor properly." Duan Fenglei, who was directly opposite him, put his hands behind his back and smiled with an unknown meaning: "And their families... maybe you will get the answer."
Without the support of the Imperial people, the Imperial players who stayed in Tania City were just asking for trouble. Therefore, after a wave of sound that receded like a tide, incredible silence once again occupied Tania City.
in the sky. Some of the indigenous people who were hesitant to walk out of their homes seemed to be unable to believe that this war would have such an outcome. It was not until they saw countless adventurers rushing onto the streets, hugging each other and cheering, that they
Gradually, she came to believe in the fact that Tania had not been destroyed and her homeland had been preserved.
Then, they heard the voice of the Principal Speaker coming out again with the help of magic.
"The war is over." He said: "We have won."
Wow——
The deafening shouts were like wind waves overturning the blue sky, completely submerging every air in the city, and then a song of joy no less than a magical storm burst out from every corner of the place. The surviving citizens rushed forward.
On the street, he vented all the emotions he had suppressed for days, and Pamir, who heard all this, finally closed his eyes with satisfaction: "No matter how hard it is to accept, the principality is a principality after all.
…”
"She is our hometown."
"I received a message from Congressman Lin."
A man with a Chinese character in armor walked up to the steps. He first looked around at the several bruised adventurers standing behind Pamir, and then looked at the face of the speaker who was still pale even though he was surrounded by water magic:
"Fortunately you didn't come too late, Mr. Pamir."
"I should be thanking you, Chief Kang."
With difficulty, Pamir nodded to the other party, and said with a weak breath: "And Mr. Pence, your ability to appear here at the most difficult moment for the principality... is already the greatest gift to the principality."
"No, we don't have to be so polite." The other bearded man next to the Chinese character smiled and waved his hand, then pointed to the fat man next to him: "Fat Yang and I are friends, and I owe him a lot of love.
Well, my brother, what does this matter..."
"Stop lying. If it weren't for the benefits Pamir promised, you wouldn't have come here like this."
The fat man retorted disdainfully, and then scratched his head at Pamir's eyes: "But forget it, I can still bring people here in this case... I have nothing to say."
"Contributing one's own strength to the principality is originally the responsibility of one of the members." The big man with a Chinese character said harmoniously: "We all see the way the speaker dedicates himself to the principality. Get up.
…It’s us who should be thanking you.”
"...If it had been in the past, I might have been polite."
Pamir, who was supported by the fat man, lowered his head, seeming to hide a certain emotion: "But now..."
"I cannot accept this gratitude."
He looked around, and finally focused on the dark shadow of the parliament hall behind him: "It was you who saved this principality, you are the saviors of this principality, each of you...should accept me
Thank you for every ounce.”
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
As if feeling the strong contrast between his emotions and the surrounding voices, the atmosphere among the few people present suddenly fell silent. Christine, who was stabilizing Pamir's injury, followed his voice and looked towards the fallen person.
Far away in the city where there is a sea of joy. In the Walia Tavern there, a man with a confused face just woke up from a bed in a certain inner room, and then listened to the different voices inside and outside the house, and the confusion on his face changed.
The color spread even more: "This is..."
"Oh, you're actually dead too?"
A male voice with a dull voice due to the fully armored helmet rang in his ears, and at the same time, several players gradually retreated: "Rare guest, it's rare to see a master like you appear here..."
"
"...Why are you here?" After seeing the ID on the man's head clearly, Duan Qing patted his head: "Aren't you supposed to be on the front line?"
"I'm not a fighting maniac like the bad boy. I prefer work like squatting on corpses. It's relaxing, comfortable... and has a sense of accomplishment."
Perhaps because he felt it was too inconvenient, Ladder finally took off his helmet and let out a long breath: "It's so hot... Hey, there's no news about that person yet? We're all here to keep watch.
How long has it been?"
"Not yet, boss, it seems they haven't been caught." The African miner squatting in the corner replied listlessly: "Really, you are actually sent to guard the resurrection at such a critical moment, aren't you afraid that we will be counterattacked?"
"Everyone from the Empire has withdrawn, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore!" Ladder waved his hand impatiently: "If you want to go out for a party, go out quickly and stop complaining to the labor and management..."
"I'm not complaining, just... forget it."
Standing up with a slap on the butt, the African miner nodded to Duan Qing, and then walked out of the house surrounded by several players who were also assigned to stay here. The amplified cheers immediately started again.
Blocked outside by the door, the figure of the ladder appeared in front of Duan Qing again. He put down the ax in his hand and put on a strange smile on his face: "Okay, Comrade King of Savages, how do you hang up?"
of?"
"...I didn't understand it either."
Recalling the last few inexplicable scenes in his mind, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "But... it's definitely not a shameful way to die."
"Oh, really?" Ladder raised his eyelids half way: "Well, for the sake of my former comrades, I will believe you just once... you can go."
"……ah?"
"Why, you're not leaving yet?" The ladder raised another half of his eyelids: "I even sent away my own team members, why don't I leave a chance for you? Don't think that if the war is won, people in the world will not arrest you.
Ah, I have seen many things like settling accounts after the fall, let alone things like traitors..."
"Wait, wait, wait." Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted the other party: "You... you are squatting here, aren't you for a guy named Hongshan Lao Dao?"
"Oh, he's also on the list." Ladder nodded vaguely: "Why, isn't he a relative of yours?"
"You are his relative!"
Duan Qing replied angrily, then looked back out the window of the tavern: "What did you just say, the war is over?"
"That's right." Ladder looked at him strangely: "According to reports, a purple light suddenly appeared in the parliament hall, a very mysterious kind, and then the sisters from the Mages Council came forward and directly persuaded the imperial people to retreat.
Yes. Oh, I heard that reinforcements from two counties of the principality emerged from the east, otherwise Bernard would not be so obedient..."
"Kristine?" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "They are actually here too?"
"Why, are you familiar with them?"
The doubts in Ladder's eyes became heavier: "The guys from the Mages Council haven't appeared in Tania for a long time. This time, three of them suddenly appeared. Plus that beam of light... How do you think something big happened?
Ah! Hey, you guy...do you know something? Come on!"
"As long as you don't get so close to me, I might be able to know something, but..."
Slowly pushing away the face that was close at hand, Duan Qing suddenly jumped out of bed: "Where are the players in the empire?"
"They have withdrawn too, they have all withdrawn." Ladder curled his lips and replied: "After hearing the notice from the great magician, they began to withdraw. Hey, they didn't even say hello to us, and asked us to kill them one by one.
It’s so fast to go back... No, the enemies are gone. How did you die? Did you slip and fall from the platform of the Messenger? "
"…How long have they been retreating?"
"It must be more than ten minutes. It will take a lot of effort to evacuate so many people... Hey, where are you going?"
"Stay here and don't leave."
Ignoring the question raised by the other party, Duan Qing pushed open the door: "If Old Dao Hongshan is sent back here, he must not be allowed to escape!"
"Isn't this nonsense? Don't look at your grandpa Ladder...hey, hey!"
Whistling through the crowds of people, Duan Qing rushed out of the tavern like flying. Then he frowned at the street that was also filled with people, and jumped onto the house next to the street. It seemed that he was immersed in the joy of victory.
, the cheering crowd above and below the house did not pay attention to the player running on the house, and in Duan Qing's mind, such details are not what he wants to care about now.
Even if his last sword was really successful, a full ten minutes have passed since the purple light disappeared. During this time...could he have been in a state of rebirth?
Could it be the sequelae of Yi Jianxin?
What exactly happened during this time?
Pamir...did he survive?
Duan Qing suddenly jumped off the last bungalow, Duan Qing's eyes lit up, and then he rushed into the large square that was also filled with people. Pushing the celebrating crowd from left to right, he struggled
Arriving in front of the already dilapidated parliament hall, and next to the pile of corpses being sorted, I unexpectedly saw an empty scene: "I don't know if there is someone left to inform me..."
"What are you looking for, adventurer?"
An old voice suddenly sounded in Duan Qing's ears. Although it was mixed in the noise in the sky, it was still so clearly audible. Feeling a hint of familiarity, Duan Qing suddenly turned his head and included the figure of an old man holding a cane.
appeared in his field of vision, but his chaotic brain took a while to respond before he matched a name buried in his memory with the image in front of him: "Gu, Gustan?"
"I'm glad you still remember me."
Still wearing the tattered robes like a beggar, still wearing the same tattered cane, the old man who seemed to be not in good spirits suddenly smiled at Duan Qingzhan, then waved to him, and turned towards the crowd.
Walking deeper. Duan Qing, who had been watching for a while, finally sighed, followed the old man's slow pace and left the square, and then caught up with him on Library Avenue, which became sparsely populated: "You...
You're not waiting for me on purpose, are you?"
"Your intuition is very keen, adventurer."
His footsteps paused slightly, and Gustan said without looking back: "But... I'm afraid I'm not the only one who wants to find you at this time."
"In the parliament hall just now, ten minutes ago..."
Duan Qing seemed to understand the other party's purpose of finding him, and Duan Qing immediately asked: "What exactly happened?"
"...Hehehehe."
This time, Gustan's footsteps really stopped. He looked at the corner of the library that was gradually revealed in the distance, and seemed to be looking into the invisible void. After being silent for a while, he let out a sudden sound.
He chuckled: "Now that the matter has come to this, it seems... there is nothing left to hide."
"You changed your destiny." He turned around and said, "It's that simple."
