Chapter 1: The Sea of Fire
Ten years ago, his name was Jin Feng. The cause of everything has to start from this night.
The evening breeze rises suddenly, and the summer heat gradually dissipates under the blowing of the wind, and the unique comfort of the mainland is refreshing.
General Jin's mansion is comfortable, the long-lost warm breeze makes the soldiers feel extremely comfortable, the baby's cry in the inner mansion looks so cute in the haze of the moonlight, with the lights extinguished, the cry gradually turned into a slight breathing sound.
"Do you have any children?" asked the guard in front of the Inner Mansion in a low voice.
The guard on the other side smiled and said, "The child is almost two years old, and I will have to go back to take care of the child when the duty is over." ”
As the two guards spoke, they coughed when they heard footsteps approaching.
Here came a middle-aged man, his footsteps were calm and powerful, and the golden token engraved with the word "gold" on his waist symbolized his status.
Just as he was about to walk to the guard's side, the door of the inner mansion slowly opened, and a woman who came out closed the door and turned to the middle-aged man with a "shhhh
"Is Ah Feng asleep?" the man asked in a gentle voice, the taste in his tone full of pampering.
The woman nodded slightly, and the two of them walked away arm in arm.
"I really envy General Kim. One of the guards said.
"Yes, I was promoted to an important position in the empire in my thirties, and I have such a happy family, I don't have to fight for fame and fortune like us, if I were to wake up with a smile in my dreams. The other guard muttered, his eyes full of envy.
Gradually, the sound of the cicadas faded, and the wind was not so soft. Before you know it, it's late at night, and everything around you seems to be quiet and unusual.
It seems that some small voices can be heard approaching, but when you listen closely, nothing comes of it. Perhaps it was the vigilance of the guard who had been doing so many years that he was hallucinating, and the guard sighed and continued to stare ahead.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the sky above the huge General's Mansion, and the sound of firing wires burning everywhere instantly reached the ears of all the guards up and down the mansion
"Enemy attack!"
With just one shout, all the people in the inner house moved. However, it was already too late.
The firearms thrown everywhere in the General's Mansion were just a flash of flames, and the flames burned wildly through the wooden buildings and flowers in the Mansion.
A gust of east wind blew into the mansion in summer, and the fire spread further, and tongues of fire devoured the buildings in the mansion, and in just a few breaths, the screams, cries for help, and cries were all swallowed up by the sea of fire.
The soldiers were in chaos, some wielded swords to meet the enemy, some rushed to the inner house to save people, some looked for water sources to fight fires, and some fled in panic.
A few soldiers staggered towards him, and when they saw the middle-aged man, they shouted anxiously:
"General, something is wrong, there is an enemy attack!"
The woman behind the general chased after her, and after dropping a sentence of "I'll save the child", she turned around and ran towards the inner house, and the general didn't have time to put on the battle armor, so she pulled out a gold-inlaid war knife from her waist and ran to the scroll warehouse behind the inner house with the soldiers who followed.
There were still dense hidden arrows breaking through the air everywhere, and the soldiers with higher cultivation waved their swords in time to block them, while the inexperienced soldiers fell heavily on the way forward one by one, and the muffled humming of the road where they passed was continuous, and a body pierced by the arrow also fell.
When they were about to approach the scroll warehouse, which was surrounded by raging flames, the soldiers hesitated, and looked at General Jin, who rushed into the fire desperately, and the soldiers followed one after another.
The confidential documents in the scroll warehouse were basically burned, and the layers of heavy soldiers at the door also fell one after another, and the rescued documents were gradually burned out by the surrounding flames, and the crumbling roof would collapse in an instant with a single shout.
General Kim stared blankly at everything that was engulfed in flames, wanting to rescue but there was nothing intact. Incendiary objects kept falling overhead, and there was no room for recovery.
"General, be careful!" Before a shout could fully reach his ears, he was pulled out by the rushing soldiers, and in an instant, a huge burning pillar slammed the soldier to the ground, and General Jin's right leg was also crushed by the pillar when he was about to fall.
His mind was pitch black, and he was constantly experiencing brief moments of dizziness, and all he remembered was that many people had lifted the pillars to pull him out of the fire, and he only remembered that day, the flames of hell consumed him all.
The woman was found not far from the inner house, the child was held on the ground by a guard, the guard was hit by several arrows, in addition to the other guards who fell in the inner house, the place where this guard fell was the farthest place from the inner house, presumably trying to save the child but failed to prevent the hidden arrow, the child in a pool of blood, crying loudly.
The woman picked up the child and rushed out of the inner house, and the heavy sea of fire had already blocked all exits.
The child in her arms was clenched, her resolute gaze was fleeting in her eyes, and the moment she rushed out of the fire, her body was crushed to the ground by the collapsed ruins, and the child in her hand was also pushed out by her, far away from the sea of fire.
Some soldiers in the sea of fire killed several enemy soldiers, but the enemy soldiers were unable to identify their forces because they were wearing black night raid suits, and the fire did not mean to decay, so they did not continue to investigate their origins. Finally, there was an enemy captured alive, but when he was questioned about his origin, he resolutely bit his tongue and committed suicide.
The reddish light from the burning ruins gradually converged, and the unconscious woman struggled out of the ruins again, and reluctantly walked briskly back to the house.
"General...... Where are you, General?" cried the woman, tears streaming down her face, which had been wiped by the fireworks.
Near one corpse after another, the woman resisted the thought of gagging and finally found General Kim at a step. General Jin had a large scorched wound on his right leg, which was constantly oozing blood, and the knife wound on his shoulder was constantly bleeding, and he was unconscious at this time.
The woman tore off a sleeve of her coat, wrapped it around the wound on the general's shoulder, and dragged him step by step towards a place where there was no fire, and it was impossible for them to get out at this time, so she could only do this.
When he was about to reach the clearing, the general's consciousness woke up, and he was about to get up, only to see a burning flame in the general's eyes gradually enlarged in his eyes.
"Madame, be careful......"
Before he could say anything, the woman pushed him away, and in an instant, the flaming object smashed into the woman. This was accompanied by the frequent occurrence of unevenly distributed explosions.
The general knew that the sentry posts and armories stocked with firearms were going to explode one by one.
Before he had time to think so much, General Jin endured the pain on his body and crawled towards the incendiary object, desperately pulling the flames.
The burning sensation of the flames on his body had long been accustomed to pain, and seeing that he had found the slender arm of the lady who was being pressed, a bang suddenly appeared next to him.
Everything seemed to come to an end with a blank brain and a torn pain in the body.
