The gray clouds burned out the last ray of flame, and from time to time, floating ships in the sky turned into bright fires, like falling stars, and finally disappeared.
The girl was letting go of her hand from the rough willow handrail, and her blue eyes reflected the brilliance of such memories, as if she existed in a dream in her childhood, and the ray of afternoon that passed through the glass window at that time.
The same as the sunshine.
"I have seen such a scene before."
"...But that was still in the stories told by my grandfather. The evil star, the giant dragon and the endless minions emerging from the darkness, civilization was pushed to the edge more than once, and our ancestors once fought with an army
The noble races fought side by side..."
With a little radiance reflected in the azure blue and clear eyes, the noble daughter said in a tone as if she was talking in her sleep. She turned back and stared at the motionless eyes of Tian Lan and others.
Seven centuries after the Numerin elves left this world, mortals probably could not have imagined that history would make a comeback one day, and all this seemed to be just like the motto engraved on the dragon's horn by the descendants of the dragon slayer:
‘Don’t forget the dead enemy——’
This sentence suddenly appeared in Tianlan's mind. The little girl seemed to involuntarily recall the long journey and experience after that night, as if she had involuntarily stepped into a cold and fast river, and when they waited
When he came back to his senses, he was already here.
She was holding on to the side of the ship tightly, standing on tiptoes, trying her best to see clearly what was going on outside. Even though she had always been astonishingly courageous, she couldn't help but feel suffocated by tension at this moment.
With a pale face, Tian Lan looked at the two fighting sides in the sky. At this moment, either side had lost the last chance to retreat.
There, the silver windship—Silver Veslan's flagship was reflecting the morning light, cutting into the front of the Shadow Man's fleet like a shining blade. And behind it, the formations of the two warring parties had already been formed.
.
What followed was a burst of fierce gunfire and explosions, flashes of light, strong winds and scorching air currents that immediately rocked the Seven Seas Traveler.
The moment the firelight arrived, an uncontrollable thought arose in Tianlan's heart:
'Perhaps there is some hidden necessity behind all this?'
[Biquge www.biquga.vip] But who pushed them to come here?
Is it the owner of Traveler's Rest?
Still those golden eyes lurking in the darkness.
But as soon as she fell into a trance, she suddenly felt a lightness in her body, almost being blown away. Tian Lan fell back to reality and couldn't help but scream, but immediately felt a hand firmly grasping her,
She looked up and saw that it was Sailor Baggins.
Baggins yanked her back and landed her back on the deck, then handed her over to Luo Yu's hands, and signaled the young man to keep an eye on his little girlfriend. Tianlan stood firm with apprehension, holding Luo Yu's hand with some warmth.
hand, and then glanced at the former with gratitude.
However, the boatswain was not in the mood to respond to them, and the look on Baggins's face could not be said to be relaxed.
"Miss Tata," behind, Luo Hao also pressed the shield with one hand and shouted over his shoulder: "Can you rush through?"
Amid the violent shaking and jolting, Miss Goblin only gave everyone a simple reply:
"able."
The two fleets were meeting overhead.
Then came the interweaving firelight, covering everything.
However, among everyone, the bright firelight only illuminated a hint of worry on Tang Xin's face. The girl was lowering her head and savoring the previous words. She suddenly raised her head and asked: "My brother, will he be okay?
?”
Sylvide was slightly startled, silent for a moment and nodded:
"perhaps."
"perhaps?"
Tang Xin looked at the noble daughter in front of her with some dissatisfaction: "Speaking of which, aren't you his real girlfriend? Are you not worried about this at all?"
Sylvide keenly heard the slight hostility in the girl's words. She looked at the latter carefully and said with a smile: "But Ed will definitely be somewhat sure of his decision. But on this battlefield
,No one can predict what will happen in the next moment, right-"
"Yes, I knew this, so why didn't you stop his unrealistic ideas?" Tang Xin asked somewhat distractedly: "You know that he is so childish sometimes, he is the Seven Seas Traveler
Captain, he should stay here, right?"
Sylvide shook her head: "I don't think so."
Tang Xin was stunned and looked at the latter.
But Sylvide thought for a moment before replying: "In Kukai, men have the right to pursue their own will, don't they?"
Tang Xin opened her mouth slightly, as if she heard something incredible. She always felt that there was a huge gap of time between herself and the other party. She was stunned for a long time before she realized: "That's the case again... I'm sorry.
I can't understand. Isn't your father, Sir Mawei, like this? Because men always have the power to do whatever they want, so he can leave you alone in this world without authorization?"
A light flashed slightly in Sylvester's eyes.
Noticing the sadness in the eyes of the noble daughter, Tang Xin suddenly realized that she seemed to have gone too far. She immediately felt a little regretful. She was not like this usually, but at that moment, it seemed like some kind of reckless impulse that made her blurt out.
Those words come.
She opened her mouth, but the boatswain beside her turned back with a serious face, looked at her seriously and said: "Although you are Mr. Ed's sister, please understand that I don't want the eldest lady to hear it again.
Similar remarks."
However, Sylvide stretched out a hand and stopped her boatswain first.
She smiled apologetically at Tang Xin and replied: "Don't worry about what Baggins said, you are right, but my father has given me everything I have now, and as her daughter, I really have no position to blame him.
What's more, my mother had no complaints against him during her lifetime. People said he was a great person... I can actually understand some of my mother's thoughts..."
"I'm sorry." Tang Xin sighed softly.
Just looking at the man in front of her with a faint smile, she suddenly couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration in her heart: "So do you think my brother is also that kind of person, allowing you to defend his willfulness at all costs?"
"I think that may not be willful," Sylvide shook her head, "Ed said he would protect my ideals, and we made an agreement with each other. I may not be from your world, nor am I from the same world.
You also have many differences, but in a sense, I may be able to understand some of his persistence better than you."
"Even if his ideas are just like those of a fool?" Tang Xin blurted out, but immediately she saw the stunned smile in the eyes of the noble daughter.
She was startled and then realized that she had asked another stupid question.
The girl couldn't help but feel an indescribable sorrow in her heart, which was a little painful and a little confusing. She thought, could this be considered love? But shouldn't love be selfish? Or, at least, it shouldn't be like this.
But the person in front of her was so determined, no matter how unwilling she was, Tang Xin had to admit that even if she looked at it with the most demanding eyes, it would be difficult for her to find anything wrong. If the positions were exchanged, she would even have
Some are envious of their idiot cousin.
She closed her mouth, turned her head, looked at the intertwined flashes of light above the clouds with a somewhat trance, and asked: "So you just let him be a 'hero'?"
Sylvester could only smile.
In that era of describing legends, many heroes were always born in people's hearts.
But the so-called hero is actually just a title in the hearts of people. Some people do it not so much for others, but for themselves——
But her pursuit is simpler.
"You know, Tangtang..." the girl said softly: "Actually, Ed, when he is full of confidence, he is really charming."
Tang Xin opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment. She was silent for a while before ending the conversation with a topic that was not the topic.
"The battle is almost over."
"Yes, the battle is coming to an end," Sylvide smiled and nodded, not appearing surprised: "Tangtang, if we can't go back, in another world, you and your brother, Ed, he
, will you still remember everything that happened here?"
Tang Xin turned around and looked at the noble daughter, as if she wanted to remember the latter's expression at this moment, and then gently shook her head.
"That won't happen."
There was just one sentence she didn't say, because she knew very well, how could that idiot forget everything that happened here?
…
The huge windship was like a silver blade, piercing the shadow man's fleet head-on.
Only when looking directly at the shining fire and the rolling flames, Bai Xue could smell the smell of rusty iron on the battlefield, the anxiety that filled the air, and the smell of blood and fire. The huge roar covered up all the shouts,
It was as if time had slowed down as the two giant beasts were fighting each other. Every minute and every second, their claws penetrated deeper into the opponent's body and throat.
Blood flowed everywhere.
The desperate fight gradually became immobile, and each opponent exhausted the last bit of strength. She only mechanically took the loaded magic gun from the hands of the apprentice behind, raised it, and pulled the trigger.
.
As the fire flashed, the two sides approached each other in the smoke. The structures with red lights in their pupils behind the smoke fell one after another. People around them were shot from time to time, but someone immediately took up the position from behind.
The number of skilled knights gradually decreased, and more and more people were replaced by trainees wearing reserve armbands. The gunshots began to become sporadic, and the medical officer shouted from behind at the top of his lungs:
"The resurrection room still has 30% energy!"
"Twenty percent!"
"Seventeen percent..."
"Let the person with the most resurrections come up first."
Bai Xue turned around. She had lost part of her hearing in the previous battle and could only barely feel the vibration when the cannon came out.
Even the light of artillery fire in the distance seemed to slow down. She watched as the spiraling artillery shells hit the side of the ship from a short distance, causing fire and shock waves to sweep through the broken wood pieces and blow away rows of people's hands.
The battle has entered a fever pitch, but the stalemate is not meaningless, because below the clouds, on the vast white land, the corps composed of seven guilds is like a rolling blade, melting in front of them
all resistance.
Knights wearing thick armor galloped across the battlefield, like several torrents, tearing holes one after another in the line of fire intertwined by the Gray Knights' mercenaries.
Followed by heavy infantry in black shirts, an iron stream composed of iron guards, foot knights and gladiators, holding giant shields, pushed rows of large swords and giant spears onto the Crow Claw Temple's defense line.
Then the entire defense line began to waver and retreat.
Then it turned into an unstoppable rout——
The retreating mercenaries staged a scene of great escape on the vast snowfield. After the gray tide faded, the true colors of the world were washed out, which were dazzling white, dazzling red, mottled black and gray, and
Thick smoke billowing up.
Flags with ravens hanging on them fell down one after another. Flags belonging to many guilds in the north were raised on several fortresses far and near the Elpaxin Plain. In the light of the fire, people waved the flags in their hands.
Guide his colleagues through blood and fire and continue moving forward.
"Faster."
"Faster."
Everyone seems to be silently reciting the same words at this moment.
The firelight falling from the clouds seemed to be the final countdown of this war, and the victory or defeat hanging by a thread seemed to be close before our eyes.
And Elpaxin is right in front. They have finally lost their last shackles. How quickly they can reach that place now depends solely on how quickly they can get under the high white wall.
Then the wailing of horns sounded again on the battlefield, and the light cavalry rushing at the front began to break away from the large army, forming several sharp arrows and running wildly towards Elpaxin on the horizon.
Viewed from above, the battlefield above the ground has been clearly divided into several levels. The light cavalry and heavy cavalry have completely distanced themselves from the infantry behind them. In front of them, the collapsed mercenaries have been completely unable to form any effective resistance.
.
The entire battlefield seemed to be running wildly——
And at that moment, a dazzling flash of light suddenly erupted from the top of the city of Elpaxin, and the flames soared into the sky tore apart the west gate of this huge northern city at that moment, causing it to collapse suddenly.
.
The ground shook slightly, and the city guards who were constantly attacking on the city wall were almost stunned at that moment, and the rows of dexterous structures guarding the tower suddenly stopped, and then came the sound from behind.
There was a low cheer.
Behind the rows of constructs, there is a group of young people standing there. They are still wearing gray alchemist windbreakers, and some of them are still wearing trainee collar badges. At this moment, almost everyone is wearing a coat, and everyone seems to be in awe.
Somewhat disgraced.
But it was at this time that the faces of the young people were clearly filled with disproportionate surprises and smiles. One of the young alchemists even patted his companion on the shoulder hard: "Chris, we succeeded."
!”
The young man, who was shaken to the point of being a little unsteady, didn't react for a while and looked a little stunned.
After all, it had only been less than two years since he was recommended by Dict to come here to learn the art of magic. Although after leaving the lumber camp, he occasionally thought of everything that happened at that time, and he could still remember it.
Recall the shadow that I have been chasing all the way.
The reason why he embarked on this path was of course more or less influenced by everything that happened that night. Of course, he hoped to meet the owner of the shadow again one day.
But what he didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly.
And he can even fight side by side with the name he admires.
"We succeeded?" Chris was still filled with disbelief, so much so that his tone became a little uncertain: "As long as we hold on to this place, we can take back El Paxin?"
But his companion nodded vigorously: "Thanks to the explosives sent by Mr. Arquette and the others, after blowing up the gate, we are at least half successful. Now we just need to hold on for a while and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"
Chris couldn't help but lick his dry lips, subconsciously looked at his hands, and then looked up at the window.
But of course he couldn't see the fighting above El Paxin, but only the constant flashes of light between the clouds and the falling smoke, still depicting a tragic battle taking place there.
But at least this time, he could no longer just watch.
"Then it will be left to the big shots in the association," the young man continued: "I don't know if their attack on the Knights' headquarters went smoothly. I heard that the Silver Wind Knights occupied the seventh and fourth blocks. If there is nothing they can do,
If we break through the middle layer, I'm afraid there will be some trouble next."
Chris nodded slightly, looked through the ceiling, and glanced in that direction involuntarily.
…
Bai Xue also clenched her fists involuntarily.
The battle on the ground has undoubtedly entered the final stage. The city wall of Elpaxin has been declared to have changed hands, but it is not known how long it will take for the Chosen Ones to attack the upper level from the lower level of the port.
And there is no time to recover that important anchor point before then.
But the more critical the moment came, the more uneasy it became. The filmmakers had obviously noticed their intentions, became anxious, and began to try to break out.
"They're regrouping!"
The observer keenly caught the movement of the shadow man.
But Bai Xue obviously would not give her opponent this chance. Although she no longer knew how much strength her side had left, the criss-crossing battlefield had already completely dragged both sides into this whirlpool.
But the quagmire is mutual for both warring parties. The mistakes made by the opponent at the beginning have now become the most fatal weak link. Bai Xue knows very well that they do not need to eliminate the opponent, but they only need to delay time.
.
"Stop them," she replied decisively: "No matter how much it costs, even if we run into them head-on, we can stop them for as long as we can. Pass on my order, we don't need to look good.
Even if they are stalking, they must be nailed to that place."
The girl paused for a moment and turned around.
A dazzling light flashed across the sky, and the blue light made everyone recognize the source of this power. The dragon knights on the side of the selector were still fighting against the shadow people, and the battle was obviously not easy.
And this also means that their top power cannot help them at the moment.
The person standing there was just Guang Ran, who was here to help replace the role of the herald who died in the previous battle. The two often argued in the guild due to different ideas, but at this moment they just looked at each other silently.
"Tell them, Guang Ran," Bai Xue said softly: "The main fleet will not issue any orders from now on. Please use each ship to your own devices. If you can crucify them for one minute, crucify those monsters for one minute. If you can crucify them,
Even for one second, you can't go back even for one second."
"I don't want reasons, only results. Tell everyone that at this moment we have only one purpose, and that is to win."
Guang Ran was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
The dazzling blue light gradually dissipated, leaving only sporadic flashes in the end. Bai Xue watched her companions leave before turning around. She raised her head and looked at the gray mist-filled battlefield between the shining firelights.
The final scene depicted.
Everything became quiet, as if even the roar of artillery fire from afar became distant and alienated——
The fleets of the Chosen are disintegrating into the final dazzling flames, and as for the final outcome of that battle, in fact, everyone on this battlefield is still unknown.
And all the fate seems to be handed over to that invisible hand.
But just for a moment, Bai Xue seemed to see a bright flash of light at the end of the horizon. The flash of light bloomed in the center of the shadow man's fleet, reflecting the outstretched eyes of her eyes.
The girl was startled for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
She stood there and was slightly stunned for a while. She couldn't help but think of the boy who was a little younger than herself. Was he also there? The origin of this battle could be said to have started because of the other boy.
So is the other person still alive?
But on this vast battlefield, what can one person change? Many names appeared repeatedly in her mind, those IDs that had shone since the ten-year dynasty and the Battle of Covenant Mountain, a
Everyone is sunk in darkness and nothingness.
Everyone has had unrealistic fantasies.
But they can't actually change anything, even now. Maybe people can remember one name after another during this war, but what about after that?
Everything will still return to its original trajectory...
Bai Xue shook her head slightly, feeling that she seemed to be a little too sentimental. But why did she join Silver Vislan because of this? A person's strength seems so meager in such an environment.
Just at the moment when this thought ended, the light seemed to flash again in that distant direction.
