Elder Tafei looked at the empty Hall of Light and felt a little lost. When the focus of his eyes finally fell on the golden figure directly above the hall, his originally lost eyes suddenly became more exciting, but soon became complicated and difficult to understand.
He has followed the Great Elder for decades, and obedience to the Great Elder has long been his creed in life. No matter how difficult or dangerous the situation is, he always stands beside the Great Elder and guards his flanks.
And the great elder also used incredible victories to prove his trust in him, and he has never failed.
But this time...
These hesitations and distracting thoughts flashed through his mind, and his vision quickly returned to clarity. After all, he had gone through countless storms and knew that the plan had begun, and at this time they had no way out.
Only success can make everyone's sacrifice meaningful and make their decades of hard work not in vain.
Taffy has never been a womanly person, and he has had countless blood on his hands. But this huge gamble still made him feel heartbroken.
Since he has been in power for many years, he personally selected half of the elders in the temple. These elders are strong and have outstanding abilities, which can be seen from their progress in practicing the Holy Flame. Many elders are actually more like his students, but all of them
Everyone will pay everything for this gamble.
He created all of this with his own hands. Ever since he began to teach them the Holy Flame decades ago, the plan has been quietly unfolding. He originally thought that after so many years of psychological construction, he could face it calmly, but when he saw with his own eyes a golden pillar of flame rising into the sky.
When he got up, he was still heartbroken.
This is a real gamble. If it wins, the Temple will no longer have any constraints. From now on, the entire Guangming Continent will have only one master, and the will of the Temple will be implemented in every corner of Guangming Continent. This is the case for every great elder.
The deepest wish in my heart, but no one has ever realized it before, and I have never given up on it.
If they lose, all the elders will be lost, and the temple will exist in name only. Moreover, such crazy and bloody methods will make the temple an existence despised by the entire Guangming Continent, and no one will forgive them.
Therefore, they must win. Only by winning can their history be written arbitrarily.
Taffy's eyes became firm as iron again.
Bright forever!
For the long-term plan of the temple, all sacrifices are worth it.
Golden holy flames flowed on the floor of the Guangming Hall. The figure of the Great Elder in the firelight was not old at all. He was still as majestic as when he was young. The Great Elder stared at the light reliefs on the walls of the Guangming Hall. Countless heroes on them were lifelike. That was the light.
The epic of the temple. It is engraved with every important battle that the Temple of Light has experienced, and every elder who has contributed to the temple.
It is precisely because of the succession of these senior elders that the Temple of Light is what it is today.
Every generation of the temple's top leaders are so enterprising and regard the expansion of the temple as their own life, and the great elder is no exception.
I don’t know if I will have a place here in the future, and I don’t know if I will lead the temple to light or darkness. No, I am right! Those damn wealthy families, relying on their merits in the past, have restricted the temple at every turn.
, they must die!
He needs a powerful Guangming Continent. Only a Guangming Continent with one voice can be truly powerful, defeat the Southern Alliance, unify the world, and conquer Tianlu.
There are too many sounds in Guangmingzhou now!
"How is it?" he asked suddenly, the golden holy flames all over his body hesitating silently.
Taffy bowed slightly, just like he had done decades ago: "The plan went very smoothly. There are already three hundred and forty-two trial pillars that have been opened."
"Three hundred and forty-two." The great elder murmured, as if he was sighing, "It is not easy to train three hundred and forty-two elders. This is all your credit. I have not done anything in these years."
Thank you for your hard work, manager."
Tafei felt warm in her heart and said with a smile: "You are so polite, I'm really not used to it."
There was a chuckle in the flames, and the Great Elder immediately sighed: "I know you are reluctant to let go, and neither am I. You know me. Although I am not a charitable person, I am not a violent and murderous person."
Taffy bent down and said respectfully and firmly: "Of course you are not."
"They died because of me, and I should bear the infamy." A sigh sounded in the flames: "But this is our responsibility, the responsibility of our generation. Blood and reputation can be sacrificed, and there is only sacrifice. If we don't solve these problems
Rich family, we will miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to unify the world. We must sacrifice. Only in this way can we leave a clean Guangming Continent to our successors."
"Future generations will definitely remember your painstaking efforts." Taffy said sincerely.
"I don't care." The voice in the flames was old and firm, revealing arrogance and scornful domineering. The flames were flying wildly, and Taffy seemed to see the young figure who convinced him back then.
The figure in the flames waved his hand violently, and countless sparks flew out: "Do what we should do. Since the palms of our hands are already stained with the blood of our own people, then the blood of the enemy is the best wine. How can we return without being drunk?"
"Your will is light." Taffy bent even lower.
The figure in the flames raised his arms, and his palms wrapped in flames pressed against the bright sun directly above the relief.
White holy flames gushed out from the sun, and soon the holy flames spread around and turned into a white flame gate. The great elder took a step forward and stepped into the flame gate. The great elder of the flame gate disappeared at the same time.
Taffy stood up, and he felt that his whole body was full of strength. His life was about to come to an end, and he could exert his last light and heat before his death. What regrets did he have?
Longing flashed in his eyes, yes, it would be such a wonderful thing to be able to leave a clean Guangmingzhou to future generations.
The flame gate disappeared behind the great elder, and in front of him was the Knights of Light.
Sophie stood at the front of the team, silent.
The great elder was obviously irritated by the situation in front of him, and his voice was full of anger: "Why didn't you execute the plan?"
Sophie stood up: "I was the one who stopped them."
The great elder in the flames stared at Sophie, his angry roar disappeared, and his voice became deeper: "Why?"
Sophie raised her head, her eyes calm and clear: "They are my soldiers, I can't let them die in vain."
Silence, oppressive silence.
"Charles is dead, and I don't want them to die too." Sophie whispered.
All the anger disappeared instantly, and the figure in the flames was a little stunned. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Yes, Charles is dead, but we must avenge him."
"To avenge him, he won't survive, but everyone will die." Sophie shook her head: "They can die on the battlefield, but I don't want them to die like this."
"They won't die." The great elder said.
"Yes, give up your life and become a soul general." Sophie looked directly at the figure in the flames: "Without temperature, the erosion of time makes the memory dissipate little by little, forgetting your relatives, forgetting your lover, and becoming
A machine that only knows how to kill. What’s the difference between that and death?”
"Yes, there is no difference, maybe it is better to die." The figure in the flames was not angry, his tone suddenly became stern: "But in addition to being your soldiers, they are also knights of light, who have sacrificed everything for the temple.
Their meaning, both in life and in death.”
Sophie was silent.
"Are they the only ones going to death? Of the 564 elders in the temple, 342 have already died. They don't even have a chance to become soul generals. They were wiped out and nothing was left. They are here
Their souls are dedicated to the temple, and they endure the pain of burning souls before they die. The remaining elders will burn into holy flames before sunset tomorrow."
An indifferent voice came out from the flames, and all the Knights of Light involuntarily raised their heads with shock on their faces.
"This is a big gamble, a big gamble that cannot be lost. Everyone in the temple must be turned into a bargaining chip and placed on the gambling table." The cold and ruthless words were like sharp daggers piercing into everyone's hearts. The great elder's
The voice was full of ridicule: "Everything you have is given to you by the temple. Each of you has sworn to give everything for the temple, including everything you have. But now? The temple needs you to die, you
But he backed down."
"No, I just don't want them to die meaninglessly." Sophie did not avoid the Great Elder's gaze: "They are soldiers! They should die on the battlefield! Not in this dark corner, dying in vain just to become souls.
.”
"No one has the right to choose, Sophie." The great elder said solemnly: "This is a war. You can never decide where your battlefield is, just like you can't decide how you die. What I can do,
Just let your death not be meaningless. And try my best. I can't guarantee anything, but we have no choice."
"Captain!" A knight of light stood up: "The great elder is right, we cannot decide how to die, but I have never forgotten my oath."
Another knight of light stood up: "I will defend the light to the death!"
"We are supposed to die for the temple, and it is so discouraging to let the elders get ahead of us."
All the Knights of Light stood up. They lined up neatly and stood in front of Sophie as usual.
Bang, everyone saluted Sophie.
"Captain, from now on we will also be soul generals, and we will never look down on you again."
"Captain, wait for us to come out."
"Captain, don't die in front of us!"
"Captain, we will definitely fight side by side!"
…
The Knights of Light turned around and stepped into the white circle of light behind them. As soon as they stepped into the circle of light, the circle of light seemed to come alive, giving birth to a white light curtain that slowly rose. The white light curtain rose over their heads and gathered into a cocoon of light,
They wrap it up.
The cocoons of light were neatly arranged, without any sound, and there were faintly visible figures inside.
The golden holy flames spread upward from the bottom and quickly enveloped the light cocoon. The holy flames continuously penetrated into the light cocoon, and the faint figure inside the light cocoon continued to struggle painfully.
