"...What should I do with Questac?" After lowering his head and remaining silent for a long time, Fang Pliover raised his head and looked at Ye Hua in front of him with burning eyes. "The Southern Alliance's plan in Istania
You can't intervene in this war when it reaches a critical moment, right?"
Ye Hua fell silent. Fang Yu found the answer to this question between the other party's eyes.
There was not too much cover-up, as if the other party just put these two choices in front of him, nothing more.
He was silent again.
Ye Hua said, "So, you still want to go?"
Fang Yu pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"My friends are still there..."
"Your friend?"
"Prince Aleph is, so is Her Royal Highness the Princess, as well as Mr. Secher, Bishop Faris..."
"I still owe them a favor, how can I escape alone?" Fang Yu seemed to be asking Ye Hua, but also seemed to be asking himself. His voice was soft, as if he was talking to himself in the wind, "Ye Hua
Master Hua, if I walked away today, I will subconsciously escape again in the future until I am cornered and have no way to retreat."
He asked in a low voice: "But since we will retreat to the corner one day, why should we give up on our friends before then? We may be able to take each of them with us, and one day we will be forced to retreat.
When we retreat, there will always be someone who can help us."
Ye Hua looked at Fang Plover silently, as if he saw a phantom of the past in his eyes.
Just like when he was young, standing in front of himself, questioning whether everything he had done over the years followed the ideals on the day he set out? But he quickly shook his head gently and dispelled the phantom. What he had done
Every choice can be said to be true to one's heart. Maybe some have made mistakes, but how can anything be perfect in this world?
He will also regret his mistakes, but he will never give up easily, because giving up may be the biggest betrayal. People who choose to embark on such a path will inevitably have to bear the expectations of others, and expectations are sometimes both praise and praise.
, is also a responsibility.
"But you always have to make a decision, Ed," his tone relaxed. "If you choose one side, you are doomed to not be able to choose the other side. And before you choose, you are doomed to not know where it will lead. It may be full of flowers."
, but maybe, there are thorns everywhere, or even the end of the road.”
He looked at the young man in front of him and his even slightly childish face, and he knew in his heart that what he was discussing was not actually about escaping or not.
Rather, the other party can grow up and understand better why he is fighting. Naturally, it is inevitably mixed with some regrets from his youth and the people he admires. He hopes that the other party can avoid some unnecessary things.
Wrong expectations.
But Fang Plover said softly:
"But……"
Flowers carry a long journey, but they may not lead to a distant place.
The thorns are everywhere, and it may be the direction we are pursuing.
The corner will recede again and again until we lose everything.
He said this softly
A gleam of surprise flashed through Ye Hua's eyes, but his tone remained calm: "The words may sound nice, but they may not be effective."
"But what I said is what I said," Fang Yu replied firmly: "Not only that, but I will also do it."
He suddenly remembered a brief conversation he had not long ago, and couldn't help but look up at the night sky. Could the twinkling stars there be Ms. Marland's eyes?
Will the courage to stay true to his heart guide him to the front?
Ye Hua listened silently, was startled for a moment, and then smiled dumbly.
He reached out his hand and patted the other person's shoulder gently, his voice a little calm: "Then let's get on the boat."
Fang Plover raised his head and looked at the Ranger King in surprise. Did he hear something wrong? Get on the boat? Us?
He opened his mouth: "But, Great God Ye Hua, the Southern Alliance..."
"I am me," Ye Hua put the long bow on his back, "The Southern Alliance is the Southern Alliance."
He looked forward, with some calmness in his eyes. "If the alliance can't even distinguish this point, I will let them distinguish it clearly."
After hearing this, Fang Yu felt a little confused for a moment. When would he be able to say such domineering words?
…
Luo Yu was leaning on the mast, sorting out the cables.
When he raised his head, he happened to see two people walking towards the direction of the ship one after another. "Look, the leader has tricked another big guy." Parker was helping him, and then touched him with his elbow.
The elementalist asked. "Speaking of which, have you noticed that the leader seems to be a little different?"
Luo Yu glanced at the thing in the other person's hand and silently took it over to prevent the Papalar people from messing up everything. He glanced in that direction and seemed to feel that the other person was different from before.
Perhaps he has become more stable, and that calm look was rarely seen on the other party in the past.
"Really?" Parker asked.
Luo Yu nodded silently.
"Right," Parker couldn't help but feel proud when he saw someone agreeing with him. "The leader seems to have become shorter when he walks with that kind of Ranger King, haha, ouch."
"Who hit me?"
On the mast, Pasha looked at him innocently and hesitated:
"Pa, Mr. Parker, I'm sorry, I, my hand slipped..."
"Forget it……"
Parker looked at this pitiful little boy and had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.
…
The bright flames were like a huge torch lighting up the horizon, reflecting in the eyes of everyone who was watching this scene.
The south side of Questac has been engulfed in a sea of fire. The fire extends along the building, burning down the earth and stone, and igniting the wooden beams and columns. There is a peeling sound in the rising flames, sparks, and the rising hot air attracts strong winds.
, the fire took advantage of the wind and spread further north.
If you look down on this scene from above, you can see the dark crowd fleeing the area of the sea of fire, crying and screaming for a while, and those are just the residents of Questac. They probably did not expect this unthinkable disaster.
Will suddenly fall on their heads this night.
But this disaster is just the beginning
The sand thieves followed, and after the sharp sword flashed, their heads rolled to the ground with warm blood. The women lost their husbands and the children lost their fathers in this disaster. The sand thieves
They also screamed and pulled the women's hair and dragged them out of their hiding places. The screams and whistles were intertwined with the women's cries, which was like a hell on earth.
Among the people who fled, there were also people who were walking backwards.
Princess Rupert walked out of the crowd and watched this scene from a distance.
Behind her, the palace guards wearing heavy armor walked out of the crowd one by one, holding halberds, and lined up in a line on the long street.
"Where is General Elpad?"
"Just past Patrick's Bridge..."
"Your Highness the Princess," the ministers on the side said quickly: "Reinforcements from other directions have not arrived yet, and we are outnumbered..."
Rupert's eyes reflected this hellish scene, and he almost bit his lower lip until it bled.
She turned back and asked: "My father and brother's people are suffering, do you want me to watch the sand thieves act unscrupulously?"
"Who said our reinforcements haven't arrived yet?"
"I am here"
The eldest princess drew out her long sword with her backhand, like a ray of snow, and pointed forward:
"Soldiers, I will fight side by side with you, move forward, and eliminate the sand bandits."
The sound was sonorous, powerful, and reverberating amidst the sound of peeling flames, which was enough to inspire people.
There was a sound of "wow", and the palace guards put down their halberds in unison.
Tianlan held the communication crystal in her hand and looked at this scene, and was stunned for a moment.
The sand bandits or blind followers probably used some means before, and the communication in the city has been completely interrupted. They can only use the system's own contact method between the teams to contact each other. The other method is the community, but the two methods
Both have limitations, the former has distance restrictions, and the latter has certain time delays.
In order to maintain smooth communication with the princess, the Seven Seas Brigade had to spread out and disperse into various armies.
The reason why she volunteered to come here was probably because of the sense of justice and courage that suddenly emerged from her little chest, which made her think of the big cat man, Miss Attila, and that stupid
Leader, Brother Ed.
But before coming here, she had never imagined such a scene. Tianlan couldn't help but be a little stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but think of the small reason why she came to this world, the slightest grievance, and the real and cruel scene in front of her.
In comparison, it seems not worth mentioning at all.
Compared with the courage of Her Highness the Princess, those little ridiculous excuses I made simply seemed a bit squeamish and pretentious.
She bit her lip and couldn't help but gently hold the crystal in her hand.
The movement here finally alerted the sand bandits in the distance.
Apparently they also discovered these unexpected guards.
There was still a look of astonishment on the faces of the Sand Bandits. Apparently they originally thought that these nobles would hide in the palace and tremble, but that was of no use, because how could a mere inner city stop the Sand Bandits?
King Mahazar's offensive. Unfortunately, they are destined to be unable to get their hands on the treasures in the palace and the rumored princess Keren'er.
But when the sand pirates saw the princess in the crowd, they couldn't help but look surprised for a moment. They didn't recognize the princess, but they also recognized her beauty.
Many people are looking straight in this direction.
It was just the guards lined up in a line, and the halberds shining with cold light in their hands, that made the sand pirates hesitate for a moment. There were more of them, but their past experience meant that they had never fought against a well-trained regular army. They looked at
This 'hedgehog' didn't know what to do for a while.
But the guards advanced steadily, and the sand pirates gathered together and slowly retreated. The people in distress finally got a chance and fled back behind the princess. Seeing the prey they had obtained escape, the sand pirates finally
There was a commotion, and someone shouted:
"Scatter them!"
The sand pirates finally gave up what little discipline they had.
They drove the sand lizards up, and hit a thick wall formed by the palace guards. As if with a bang, the attack arrows of the sand thieves instantly fell into pieces, and they were scattered as if they were in disarray.
According to the judgment of the Sand King Babartan, these rabble are no match for the Forbidden Army.
But the sand pirates have no discipline, but they have a bloody courage. The death of their companions not only did not make them timid, but also aroused the ferocity of the remaining people.
After all, the sand bandits had a numerical advantage. They attacked again and again, and the formation of the palace guards finally loosened and opened a hole. Like a dike bursting, the flood surged in, and the sand bandits came through the hole.
The palace guards had to retreat for the first time, but after retreating, they could no longer stop. Princess Rupert gritted her teeth and pushed forward, but to no avail. Soon there were a few holes in the unarmored areas.
, the blood flowed out gurglingly, dyeing the armor red. At this moment, a stream of blood flowed out and hit the eldest princess in the chest.
She groaned and leaned back. Not far away, Tianlan let out a frightened "ah", picked up her magic harp, and strummed out a note.
The beating musical notes fell into the sand bandits and exploded into a violent sound wave. The sand bandits who were rushing to capture Her Royal Highness immediately staggered under the impact.
But before Tianlan could be happy, she saw the sand bandits turning towards her. She was so frightened that she dropped the magic piano, turned around and ran away. But before she could run two steps, she was overtaken by someone, and the sand bandit grabbed her.
The girl immediately screamed tonelessly.
But a figure bumped into her, it was the eldest princess who got up from the ground.
Tianlan Yigulu fell to the ground and screamed in fear:
"Princess, we are going to die!"
It was the first time that she was so scared, and she burst into tears. She thought that she would never dare to disobey Captain Ed again, and she would definitely stay behind and never cause trouble again.
But Princess Rupert just put his hand on her heart and gently comforted her: "Don't worry."
How could you not be worried?
But the shouts of killing seemed to really subside for a while.
Tian Lan opened her eyes somewhat unexpectedly, only to find that the sand pirate was already dead. Princess Rupert stabbed him through the heart with a sword, stabbing him to the core.
In the distance, a group of knights wearing plain white snow-white shirts were rushing across the bridge and rushing in this direction. Their vanguard had arrived, like a sharp sword, piercing the back of the sand bandit. The little girl blinked.
Blinking my eyes, I finally saw the flags of the knights clearly. The shining swords had a resounding name in this kingdom.
Morning light.
She knew those knights as if she had seen the big cat people.
Those are the Templar Knights of Marlan.
The Sand Pirates had obviously heard of the fame of the Marlan Knights. Being attacked from both sides, they finally lost their will to fight and fled backwards. Looking at the retreating enemies, Tian Lan realized
The battle here finally came to an end with the addition of the new force of the Marlan Knights.
She breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes, and thought that the vow she had made before would be effective next time.
I don’t want to hear what the stupid Captain Ed has to say.
She clasped her hands together and secretly prayed to Ms. Marland.
But while Tianlan was here to break the contract, Princess Rupert sighed softly. She knew very well whether the battle was over.
She turned around and asked:
"Where's Mahazar, has anyone seen the King of Sand Thieves?"
No one answered around.
…
When the sand bandits dispersed into the city, Mahazar did not move.
The king of sand thieves was like a wolf king with cold eyes, watching the sand thieves of all sizes scattering around, setting fires, killing and looting, but they were just a bunch of mobs, and he had never expected this.
The so-called 'allies' who are united together. He also maintains a well-disciplined group of old subordinates who belong to him. This is enough.
He has only one goal, and that is the wealth in the palace and that woman.
And whether these people can leave alive is still a question.
He had received the intelligence sent back from earlier, and the palace guards had already come out.
Very courageous
But also very stupid.
He held the reins in his hand and was about to give an order, but suddenly, a burst of uproar came from the rear of the team.
Mahazar was slightly startled and couldn't help but look in that direction.
A somewhat panicked voice came from behind:
"what is that……?"
"There is something in the sky!"
"The clouds are splitting..."
…
In the darkness, Alyssa glanced in the direction of Kashan Palace above her head, which was probably the only brightly lit place in the palace at the moment.
It must be very lively there, she thought to herself as before.
However, the disputes among the ministers above and the loud shouts of killing outside could not reach this place. There was a moment of silence in the darkness, leaving only the bright lake under the starlight in the distance, and the sound coming from the crystal from time to time.
, rustling sound. About a quarter of an hour later, she posted another post, and then waited quietly for a response.
An object not far away suddenly caught her attention. There were some collapsed stones, where Achilles fell from above. The body had already been taken away by the guards, leaving only a mess.
Miss Nightingale walked over and bent down to pick up the thing on the ground.
She looked at the thing silently, her eyes dazed for a moment, until a voice came from behind:
"Would you be a little scared if you were alone in this place?"
Alyssa turned around and realized it was Sylvide.
"Is there any news from the leader?"
Sylvide shook her head slightly.
Alyssa was a little surprised. "Miss Sylvide, aren't you scared?"
"What am I afraid of?"
Sylvester smiled softly. She had gone to see Florence before, and her childhood playmate was so scared that she almost lost her mind.
But strangely enough, she didn't feel any uneasiness in her heart, and was even a little quiet, probably just because she knew that that person would definitely come back.
If it's something that even he can't solve, what does she have to worry about?
Alyssa was stunned, looked at the other party's eyes, and suddenly laughed:
"You really believe in the leader."
Sylvide only responded with a smile.
Miss Nightingale did not speak. She held the thing in her hand and just looked silently at the firelight on the horizon. But after a moment, a trace of horror suddenly appeared in her eyes.
She turned around suddenly, just in time to see Sylvester looking over with a frown on her face.
The night of Questac that the two of them saw seemed to be torn apart.
But
"……what is that……?"
…
Look at the things coming in mid-air.
For the first time, the Kashan Palace became completely quiet. The ministers looked pale and looked at each other.
Aleph also took a few steps forward, almost reaching the terrace outside. He raised his head and quietly looked at the thing emerging in the air.
It was a huge, blood-red, eyeball-like thing. It almost shrouded half of the sky above Questaq. It slowly poked out from the clouds and stared motionless at the city below.
The strong wind brought by the fire blew over the high platform, blowing everyone's robes and beards into chaos.
But no one reacted to this. Those ministers who usually cared most about red tape were as motionless as stone sculptures at this moment.
"Then, what is that..."
"What kind of monster is that...?"
Ai Xiaoxiao also looked up at the huge bloody stars in the sky.
The terrifying coercion surrounds everyone's heart, almost making people breathless.
For the first time, she realized that this world seemed not only to be beautiful and interesting as imagined. There were also frightening and disturbing things in front of her.
But will the big cousin come back to save them?
At this time, Tang Xin grabbed her friend's hand. "Xiaoxiao, go to the back."
Ai Xiaoxiao looked back at her, her face slightly pale: "But Tangtang, what about you?"
"I have to stay here. If the communication is restored, my brother can find someone." Tang Xin's face was still as pale as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.
Her tone also seemed a bit weak, and her voice was not too high.
Ai Xiaoxiao glanced at her a little worriedly. "But Tangtang, you have only been ill for a short time...and those people..." She glanced at the ministers in the hall again: "They seem to have a bad attitude towards us.
It’s not very good, except for Mr. Sesher and Prince Aleph..."
"don’t worry……"
Tang Xin looked at the things in the air. Although she said so, she didn't have any confidence in her heart.
