In the snow after the heavy snowfall, Tie Shan held the body of his own brother. Silent for a long time.

From the moment when Kress suddenly pointed his gun at him and Firestorm, Iron Mountain actually had no younger brother in his heart, that is, from that moment on, Kress gave Iron Mountain the last impression that he was no longer his biological brother, but an enemy, an enemy who could be fatal at any time and posed a great threat to himself. It was this enemy who was dominated by bloodlust and hatred, and with his own strength, he changed the dynasty of the kingdom, forcing Firestorm and Iron Mountain to flee in all directions in order to avoid Kress's pursuit. Iron Mountain knew that if it weren't for the fact that he happened to find the cave where he took refuge and hid it for twenty years, he was afraid that he and the bodies of Firestorm would have been buried in an unknown place for twenty years.

To this day, Iron Mountain vividly remembers the time Kress came closest to success.

Twenty years ago, the world had just survived another harsh winter. Due to the fact that Firestorm's kingdom was located in the south at the time, and because the winter was not very violent, the Firestorm country suffered little during the five-year winter. Throughout the harsh winter, the firestorm as a king was well cared for, and he was completely free of food and clothing. However, just a few years after the harsh winter had passed, just when the firestorm had become slackened by the harsh winter that had just passed, something unexpected happened.

Not only the Firestorm, but even Iron Mountain will never forget that afternoon twenty-three years ago. On that day, it was the annual grand festival of the King of Firestorm. Because the weather had returned to normal after the harsh winter had passed, and because it was the first time that this annual large-scale festival was celebrated after the harsh winter had passed, many local people spontaneously gathered in the capital of the kingdom to thank God for allowing them to survive this harsh winter. As the king of a country, Firestorm decided to embezzle a large part of the treasury funds for a good parade that day, so that the country's rulers would know that their king was always thinking about his subjects in these difficult days. Of course, these subjects would not have known that all the expenses of the march were actually obtained by looting their money.

But on this day to celebrate, these things don't matter anymore. The subjects also rejoiced that they would have the privilege of seeing their king again, unaware of the impending danger.

In the beginning, Firestorm was intended to circle the inner city of the capital and then return to the central square of the inner city. But when passing through a fork in the road that connected the outer city, that is, the slums, Firestorm decided to visit the slums for the first time in his life, so that the poor people who lived in dire straits would know that the king was still thinking about them. It is this decision that determines the entire future.

Since they had not received any notice beforehand, these poor people naturally did not have any organization. So when Firestorm saw the slums with his own eyes, he realized that just one street away, the capital of his kingdom had been divided into two distinct worlds. The world in which he lived was a scene of singing and dancing, and everyone was dressed in fine clothes. You don't travel in a horse-drawn carriage, and you don't carry expensive gifts with you when you visit. This is not an illusion, all the noble districts living in the capital of the Firestorm Kingdom can easily do this even if it is a servant, but this makes Firestorm mistakenly believe that his country is an extremely prosperous country, so even if there will be some places that will be a little poorer, but at least the capital and the cities near the capital are prosperous. But it was because of this temporary rise that he witnessed something he didn't expect at all.

Firestorm felt very confused, he didn't know what the ghetto just one street away from the aristocracy would be like, because what he had witnessed, Firestorm hastily ended this trip to the slum that was destined to be short, and chose to return to the aristocratic district at the next intersection. Firestorm wasn't in a good mood for the rest of the day, and when he returned to the square, he was ready to end the march and let his subjects play their own. But it was just as the firestorm was about to announce the beginning of the festivities that an inadvertent attack took place.

The first thing that happened was a guard located on the periphery of the officialdom in the center of the capital, and without warning, this guard suddenly fell straight behind after being stunned for a moment. When he fell to the ground completely, the subjects, who did not understand the situation, were horrified to see a pitch-black figure on the guard's chest, still trembling to themselves. As the guard's corpse gradually cooled, everyone gradually turned from curiosity to panic. Then they screamed and scattered.

This should be a normal reaction, and what Firestorm should do next is to order his guards to try to calm down the chaos in front of him as soon as possible, and this throne depends on the inherited king, who has no ability, and the only person who has this ability is Iron Mountain who was sent out to carry out a mission not long ago. And this mission was not sent by Firestorm himself, as for who sent Iron Mountain to carry out a mission that made him die, Iron Mountain didn't know until now. What's even more deadly is that Firestorm has not yet recovered from the shock he had witnessed in the slums. So don't say it's suppressing the current scene now, it's good that he can walk on his own now.

Soon, more and more attackers appeared from nearby houses and came to the square, and Firestorm's guards were killed and wounded in an instant due to the lack of unified command and the unstable morale of the army due to the chaotic scene. And Firestorm is even more tragic to discover, it seems that their retreat has also been sealed by these attackers.

Now, the only thing Firestorm can do is to stand by and wait for help, as long as someone can bring the news to the Guards camp in the palace and the army outside the city, then the army can quickly come and rescue Firestorm. However, when the last guard was killed by the attackers, no reinforcements arrived.

Now even the most stupid people knew that someone must be doing it, and the quality of these attackers was much higher than the overall quality of the guards, and in this group, Firestorm noticed someone who was markedly different from the other attackers. This is a tall knight. The figure is actually about the same as the figure of Tie Shan, the captain of the personal guard who he was wearing not long ago. The difference was that Iron Mountain was wearing a bright red and golden-yellow armor to show the glory of the kingdom, while the attacker was wearing a pitch-black armor, and even the cloak behind him was pure black, without any other color. The black knight was a head taller than the attackers and guards around him, and no guard could withstand a single attack from this knight. And this is still without riding, if it is a horse, it is estimated that it will not take a few seconds for this black knight to easily cross this central square and look down at the head of the fire storm as an excellent trophy for his promotion.

Fortunately, this knight did not do this, and even more fortunately, although there is no one around Firestorm now, but as early as when Firestorm was five years old and just became the king, until now, in the past ten years, Firestorm has not relaxed the construction of the underground escape system of this capital. Therefore, after seeing that the general trend was indeed gone, the fire storm, who had thoroughly figured out the underground escape passage in the capital, simply entered the entrance of the passage closest to him, and then quickly fled outside the city. What's even luckier is that he has just fled outside the city when he encounters Iron Mountain, who has returned from completing his mission. Without much communication, Iron Mountain and Firestorm embarked on a journey to escape. Later, the affairs of the country, Firestorm didn't care much anymore. Because he'd had enough of being king for Firestorm, and after seeing all that had happened in the ghetto, Firestorm had little interest in continuing to be king of the country. What's more, running for your life is more important now.

Over the next few days, Firestorm knew that one of his relatives had quelled the rebellion and accepted the sacred position of king. It was at this time that Firestorm realized that all this had been premeditated. It doesn't matter to Firestorm anymore, I don't know when it started, a small tail suddenly appeared behind them, no, it's not enough to describe this terrible person with a small tail. After all, that person was the same black knight that Firestorm had seen before.

It wasn't until Iron Mountain had faced the black knight five or six times that Iron Mountain was sure that the pursuer was his own brother. When the identity of this pursuer was discovered, Iron Mountain had no intention of killing him, but he couldn't let his king be killed, so he could only run for his life with a fire storm, until the last time Iron Mountain was forced to kill his own brother and fled to the cave to hide, until now.

In his opinion, the best two endings are that Kress finally let go of his hatred of himself, although he still does not accept himself, but he will not chase him, and the better ending is that the two brothers finally come back together. If there was anything that came close to the end, it was that Kress killed himself with his own hands and thoroughly understood the grievances between them. As for the other endings, especially the current ending, Tie Shan himself is unwilling to think about it.

"He asked me to kill on his own initiative. Iron Mountain finally placed Kressie's body on the ground and began digging a deep pit nearby to bury him inside. "Maybe he already knew about this day and was planning for it, so when we met before, he didn't choose to do it. ”

The people around him didn't know what to say, so Tie Shan continued to dig the deep pit and continued: "Actually, I think that my brother's strength is stronger than mine, first of all, he has our family heirloom, which will allow him to improve his ability a lot, and when Firestorm recruited the captain of the guard, Kress never had any systematic training, but he fought all the way to the end. If it weren't for the fluke, I'm afraid it wouldn't be me but Kress who is protecting you now. ”

"Brother, I'm sorry. "Even Firestorm felt a deep sense of self-reproach. If it weren't for the fact that he had to recruit a captain of the guard because he didn't think he was safe enough, Iron Mountain and Kress wouldn't be what they are now.

"It's okay, brother. Tie Shan wiped the man on his body, and said with a strong smile: "It's not your fault, it's my own fault." I should have given him this position in the first place. It's just that it's too late to say anything. ”

Aize finally couldn't help it, he glanced at the lady sighing, and after getting an agreed look, Aize said softly, "Actually, if you want, we can resurrect him." ”

Tie Shan shook his head: "He has already made up his mind about death. That's why I was told at the end of the day to live well. This is his last wish, so don't go against it. Death was more of a relief to him, and if resurrecting him and making him an undead spirit would be nothing more than another nightmare for him. ”

About ten minutes later, Tie Shan completely buried his biological brother in this vast snowfield. Otherwise, the rest of the world knew about Kress's whereabouts, and Iron Mountain didn't even leave any traces. After a long time, Tie Shan made a smile that was uglier than crying, looked at the lady and asked, "Madam, let's continue to set off." ”

"Go on?" Qi Tianci asked, "Isn't the situation very clear now, these attackers are all sent by the Apostles and the Regent. ”

"But what about the evidence? who can prove that these people are the apostles and the regents?" asked the lady coldly, "we are very grateful for your help, but our task is not yet complete, and I believe that you have other things to do, so let's separate here." After speaking, the lady sighed and glanced at Hill and continued, "Elf, if you knew what happened to the elves at that time, you wouldn't hate me as much as you do now. ”
