Chapter XXIII

After returning to the camp, Kingston looked a little dull, and without saying a word, he went back to his camp to rest. Under the repeated questioning of everyone, Kingston said a little unhurriedly: "Don't worry, they won't attack us." But we can't go now. Everyone was puzzled, and Kingston could only slowly tell what had happened.

"Protoss, what Protoss? You mean you've established a new race based on humanity from the Terrans?"

"Yes. You get what I mean in all my sense. Max drank his wine elegantly and said slowly, "Even if the original intention of those aliens was not that way, I have to say that we were reborn because of those corroded weapons. ”

Kingston laughed incredulously, and after a while, he couldn't help but laugh, "Man, look at yourself, it's exactly like us humans, you speak our human language, and even the wine you're drinking now is made by us humans." Even the blood that flows in your body is our human blood!"

"Friend, I admit that you are correct in what you said before, and this is what we Protoss urgently need to change right now. But there is one thing you said wrong, and it is completely wrong. Max stretched out his left hand and gently slashed it at his left hand with the sudden bony claw of his right hand, and a trace of black blood flowed from the wound on his wrist and dripped into the wine glass. Suddenly, the sake in the cup turned completely black. "Look, friend. We are completely different from you, radically changed from the roots. ”

"Well, you make it impossible for me to refute. Kingston was speechless for a while, and suddenly asked, "You said you want a place to live, what do you mean exactly?"

"Oh, friend, I've almost forgotten what I'm here for. Yes, a place to survive. You know we're going to kill every higher creature we encounter along the way, right?"

"Yes. Kingston replied in a deep voice.

"Then you also know that in this way, there are many places in the Kingdom of Magellan suitable for us to survive. And that's just our first step. ”

"The first step?" said Kingston, scoffing, "and you mean your second step will be like the apostles, intending to encroach on more land and thus gain more places where you call a place to live?"

"Wrong, friend. Max stood up and said seriously, "I promised that we Protoss would no longer launch any unwarranted attacks on you, and our next step was to use our abilities to leave this continent." And now, I have decided to assist you, because for to us those aliens are our common enemies, and they are powerful. ”

"I'll have to go back and tell the commander and the king. With that, Kingston stood up, intending to leave.

"Kingston. Seeing that Kingston was leaving, Max couldn't help but hold back. "Tell me, are we still friends?"

I was stunned when I saw Kingston's departing back, and after a while, I whispered: "No, I don't know, but I have always had a good friend named Max in my life." ”

Max smiled helplessly as he looked at Kingston's back as he got farther and farther away.

"Are you sure they figured out our alliance and join us against the apostles?"

Kingston replied unhappily, "Lord Steles, please allow me to correct it, they claim to be Protoss, and Max is my friend. Please don't use slurs against them!"

"Well, I apologize, sir. ”

"I'm pretty sure they want to work with us, and I'm pretty sure they're going to keep their promise and survive on another continent in the future. It's just that I'm in a complicated mood right now, they were the same humans as us a few days ago, and now they call themselves Protoss. Kingston's expression imitated Max's movements just now, "But now they have black blood in their bodies!"

As the crowd fell silent, Sterls said something meaningful: "I think that when the undead in the wasteland of the dead first broke away from the human race, their friends were just as complicated as you, but they were forced to change. After all, from the moment they became independent from the human race, they were destined to be completely separated from their former compatriots, friends, and partners. ”

"I'm sorry, my lord, but I don't think we're the same. Kingston looked deeply at Sterls for a long time before leaving the tent.

Kingston's report left the whole of Hagia Sophie in a state of bewilderment. Although it is obvious that those newly born races possess even stronger combat power than the apostles, who knows if those new alien races can be trusted? In the general consciousness of human beings, it is a saying that the hearts of non-our races must be different for a long time, and this has also made the human race from only a corner of the continent to a few households now include the entire continent as their sphere of influence. However, this argument has now become a great obstacle for the kings in the kingdom who want to unite them.

After Katena was wounded and retreated, the palace briefly returned to normal. Moreover, in order to cope with this greatest crisis, the Kingdom Council, which had been changed from a three-day meeting, was shortened to a single day, so that sufficient arrangements could be made each day to avoid emergencies. However, it did not occur to them that the crisis had not occurred from the alien apostles they had been guarding against, but from a new race calling themselves the Protoss. After a few days of hard work, Kingston's news was undoubtedly very shocking. What kind of Protoss? Isn't it the corrupted human race? What kind of thinking makes them feel that they can be independent of the Terrans? But it is undoubtedly a good choice to be able to unite with them against the Apostles, after all, their combat power is obvious to all. As for whether they can really unite to defeat these invaders, what happens after that is not something that needs to be considered now. Finally, after thinking about it for a long time, Magellan resisted the pressure of opposition from some nobles in the kingdom and approved the resolution by consensus.

"Guys, I know what you're worried about. I'll admit that I don't believe in these so-called new races right now. But we have to believe in them now, and I think we all know very well what the situation is. According to the news, a new alien army has already been assembled, ready to attack us. And this was already news half a day ago. If we don't choose to unite with these so-called Protoss, then how will our soldiers survive in the midst of internal and external troubles? I am sure that once they have made a promise, they will never go back. So, I choose to believe in them, unite with them, and fight together against me, our truly formidable enemy!"
