Chapter Thirty: The Rin Flower Blooming Among the Thorns
()In December 998 on the bimonthly calendar, winter is coming.
Outside Gale City, the orcs placed human corpses in a pile and burned them in flames. This race believed in the glory of war, and they disdained the killing of poor humans. However, there were still humans who became slaves and died because of resistance and struggle.
The orcs carry out organized burning work, so that cleaning up dead bodies can prevent the emergence of infectious diseases.
Above the city wall of Gale Wind City, Thunder, the king of the beasts with two long swords on his waist, had a gloomy face, and his eyes were quietly burning with flames.
"So, the little princess is no longer in Jade City?" he asked, his voice so cold that the Catwoman behind him trembled.
"Yes." Catwoman lowered her head nervously and fearfully: "We followed your prompts to find the little princess's residence, and then followed the clues and found that she entered the city lord's palace... But the little princess died three years ago."
"Absurd!" Lei Lei shouted angrily: "The little princess has the strongest defensive magic on her body, how could she die!"
He lowered his head and looked at the ring on his hand, and he was even more sure in his heart: this ring is a tool to break the magic on Hongyan's body. The fact that it is intact proves that their princess is safe now.
But even so, it is still a fact that the beauty's whereabouts are unknown.
"Mobilize 100,000 people to Jade City immediately!" Lei Lei was annoyed and issued an order that was completely contrary to history.
"But your lord, the army hasn't rested yet."
Catwoman was shocked. It had only been a few days since the Orcs occupied the Gale Grassland, and all the troops needed to rest and replenish their strength. Thunder's order was really unexpected - not to mention that their planned route was to pacify the fragile south first, and then go
Gnawing the mighty north.
The traces of that little princess are actually more important than the strategy of the orcs!
Thunder's thoughts confused Catwoman, but this person has always been so domineering.
"No problem, I will go there myself... and chop down that city!"
He made a decision in this way, a decision that was even more shocking than invading Jade City——
"My lord, you must not do it. This war is not worth exposing the power of you and General Bai Qi!" Catwoman knelt on the ground and begged: "We can send more troops, but please think again, lord."
For the entire orc tribe, the power of Lei Ting and Bai Qi is a killer. Before they face the real threat in this world, both Lei Ting and Bai Qi have to hide their edge.
However, Lei Lei had no intention of changing his mind.
"It's okay, I have my own sense of proportion." He touched the two long swords at his waist and sneered: "On second thought, wouldn't it be more reassuring if I showed a little of my claws?"
The world is always full of doubts about unknown things, but as long as the enemy reveals a little bit of 'truth', this truth will often confuse others and make people miscalculate the enemy's capabilities.
That afternoon, Thunder, the king of the beasts, led 100,000 people towards Jade City.
————————————————————————
On the other side, Xia Han left the northbound ship halfway and returned to Jade City alone.
He searched many places and finally saw Wujing on the city wall. It was dusk...the setting sun dyed their clothes red.
"Information says that a big shot is coming this way."
Wujing turned around and looked at Xia Han, narrowing his eyes: "But that big shot is not you."
Naturally, Xia Han didn't know about the King of Beast Clan coming to Jade City, and he wasn't interested in asking.
"I'll get your sword." He just said.
Wujing looked at him, with a trace of surprise in his eyes: "You wandered around the beach a few times, sang a few songs, and in a short period of time you came up with a way to turn defeat into victory?"
Sure enough, he has been monitoring Xia Han.
"I'm not that smart." Xia Han shook his head, but the corners of his mouth turned up a little in the slanting light: "But you didn't die last time because I kept you alive."
"you!"
Wujing was stunned for a moment, and then there was a sudden pain in his chest, as if his heart was pounding: "Poisonous!"
In fact, the last time they met, Xia Han could have killed Wu Jing. However, he did not do so because he found that Wu Jing was necessary. Not only Wu Jing, but also the king and queen, they were all necessary
——A tool to slow down the attack of the Orcs.
Thanks to them, a large number of refugees successfully evacuated north, and Xia Han's seal was about to be lifted for the fourth time.
Now...Xia Han can take action.
"How is it possible? When did you inject the poison..." Wu Jing covered his chest with his hands and was stunned: "Master of Pharmacy, you really... but... why, that bottle of potion!"
Why does Xia Han suspect that the bottle of potion is poison?
Of course, he had never doubted it. From the first time he received the bottle of medicine, Xia Han knew that it was real medicine - otherwise, how could he dare to bring it to the king.
"Magic is amazing...but people are even more amazing." Xia Han slowly walked towards Wujing, not worried about his threat at all: "No one said that thinking jumps represent the truth. In this dangerous world - being able to do
Only those who deceive themselves from mind to body will have the last laugh."
Don't forget that his previous career was an actor.
"you..."
Wu Jing's face turned pale because of the pain. He was about to say something when suddenly his hair stood on end: "Who is it!"
His gaze turned to the outside of the city, and Xia Han also noticed something unusual at the same moment: a very terrifying aura enveloped the city wall.
A man stood outside the city at some point. He looked up at the tall city wall and said nothing. He just raised a long sword and swung it down.
"boom!"
The long sword struck the world, and the world suddenly turned red, and the flames dyed the sky red - it was a huge flaming blade, blasting towards the city wall.
The terror, the overwhelming majesty...no one can resist...
Xia Han trembled all over. He had never experienced such a powerful force. The flames pressing down from the sky seemed to carry heavy power and supreme dignity...it did not allow anyone to escape.
Death...death...he will definitely die here!
Death has never been so close to him as it is now. In the face of this power, life is as fragile as an ant.
"This is fate."
A figure walked forward and blocked Xia Han.
Wujiang turned his back to the long light of the flame, and the flame illuminated his cold side face, and he said: "Your life is not here."
The flames engulfed his figure from behind, huge energy exploded, and Xia Han's vision went white.
what happened!
Why--
Xia Han didn't understand, so he reached out and grabbed Wu Jing's clothes.
Amidst the raging flames and heartbreaking pain, Wujing looked calm... He looked at Xia Han, who had his eyes closed and clutching his clothes, and his eyes were as warm as ever.
It had been so many years since we last saw each other, and the pain made him miss it...
In that distant past, he was once so fragile that he would cry out of pain.
His mother was killed by his own father and brother, and even... she was killed after being humiliated and unknown to outsiders. His mother was just a prostitute in exchange for the right to let him return to the city lord's palace.
"Would you choose to die with this lowly woman, or choose our royal surname..."
That year, he was more vulnerable than anyone else. He could only hold his mother's naked body in his arms, squat in the cold manger, cry... cry hard...
The pain caused by the cold touch in my arms, the hatred of losing everything, that long dark night... There is only a corner of the manger, a thorn bush, and a flower swinging in the cold wind, blooming alone... in the filth
In a dirty, putrid corner, facing the fierce cold wind, this flower lives tenaciously.
"The so-called life is to experience pain and wipe away the blood and tears in order to grow."
Wujing lowered his head, and the summer cold in his eyes gradually overlapped with the flowers in the darkness: "And the so-called living ones are the cold flowers that can bloom among the thorns."
How could this flower that he cultivated so carefully die here?
"Boom boom boom!"
After the flames passed, the city wall was in tatters, a large crack opened the Jade City's defense, and everything around it became scorched black.
On the city wall, hundreds of dark soldiers fell to the ground, but Xia Han was intact.
"Go away, you are already free..."
Wu Jing's sword fell to the ground, he closed his eyes and remained motionless - losing his hands.
Xia Han couldn't see his back, but she could tell from the cracks under his feet... This man might be about to die...
Why - maybe Xia Han wanted to ask this, but he picked up the sword and turned around and left without looking back. Facing the second sword that he didn't know when he would come back, his actions were smart and rational.
Wujing listened to the footsteps disappearing and imagined that if the previous king saw his child today...the child that was already a monster, would he smile or cry?
Perhaps the answer will be known after he dies.
However, no matter what, even in the worst future, it doesn't matter if Xia Han goes to the Suzaku Continent alone. This child who can even cover his own heart... will not be knocked down by those empires.
Wujing's mission seems to be over. After all, he is just a hero and cannot become a king...if he becomes a king, everyone will be unfortunate.
but....
"The flower I created... is beautiful and strong. Sooner or later, it will take away the beauty of the entire world."
He murmured thus, and then waited for death to come.
The second sword did not come. The powerful man withdrew his long sword and waited at the city gate for the arrival of the galloping legions in the distance - Thunder, the king of the beasts, had already broken the city wall, and he would not swing the second sword again.
Wu Jing didn't have the strength to turn around, and he couldn't even stop his rapidly depleting energy, but... he knew Lei Lei's intention to stop.
"madness..."
The more powerful a person is, the more stupid he is. That man did not take the Lord of Jade City seriously, which was a shame for Wujing - and an opportunity.
In this life...he still needs the most important ending.
"Xiao Sheng..."
As he said this, the young man who had just arrived jumped up and knelt down in front of him: "Here!"
"Bring Bai Yue."
Wujing issued the final order.
He wants to change the world - his daughter will add a great king to the Emerald Empire and create a new future for mankind.
The king of the beasts will never know until his death that he can change the future of the world as long as he swings his second sword in Jade City.
