Hanzhu City, north of the City Lord's Mansion.

The white mask kept the terrifying undead in the south, but only in the south, and everyone knew that the moment the white mask shattered, it was the beginning of a new nightmare...

A large number of soldiers have begun to guide the people to move further north, and the vast procession is even more bloated, Mo Xiaoye rides a Pegasus knight's Pegasus, watching the excitement of the people below from the sky, or despair for the future, or immersed in the sadness of the death of a loved one.

All living beings are in different forms.

"Mo Xiaoye, do you think we should evacuate or, as He Yue said, stay as a soldier and fight until the last moment?" Behind the Pegasus knights on the side sat Commander Liao. His expression also seemed complicated.

"I don't know. Mo Xiaoye shook his head slightly, "But I don't want Xiaoyue to die here, so I choose to evacuate." ”

"Yes, I can't die here, I have a gentle wife and two smart children in the imperial capital, and they will have a hard life if I die. Commander Liao sighed, "We all have reasons why we can't die here." ”

"Then these people deserve to die here?" Dean Xiao, who was still on the tower of the City Lord's Mansion, suddenly turned around and asked.

"Then they can only be blamed for not being strong enough, in this world of the jungle, weakness is the reason for everything. Commander Liao said.

"I ask you. Dean Xiao's face was full of seriousness, and now he didn't have the amiable temperament of being a dean in the past, and he could only feel a very strange feeling in him. "What is an Imperial soldier?"

"Shame on escaping from battle, shame on not keeping promises, shame on bullying the people, we are swords, kill all enemies, we are shields, protect everyone..."Mo Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"This is the request left by the founding generalissimo Qin Wu when the Xingzhu Empire was founded. Dean Xiao turned around and faced the monstrous bloody hell in the south.

"I was also a soldier. Dean Xiao's gaze revealed memories, "I have guarded the north for more than 20 years..."

"Teacher, it's time for us to go..."Lu Hai walked up to him and whispered.

"Forget it, I'm not leaving. Xiao Mu shook his head.

"Teacher?" Lu Hai frowned, he was afraid that Xiao Mu would suddenly lose his temper and stay, this would be useless, he would only die in vain, that terrifying tide of undead, even if Xiao Mu was a final-level professional, it would be impossible to live

"I've been guarding the northern part of the empire for more than twenty years, and I thought I was no longer qualified to guard the frontier as a soldier..."Xiao Mu smiled, "Once this Cold Bamboo City falls, the cities and villages along the way from here to Frostleaf City will be in danger, although I know that it is useless for me to stay, but... At least let me do my duty as a soldier!"

"..."Commander Liao suddenly saluted, "Maybe a person like you can be called a soldier." ”

"Let's go, all of you. Xiao Mu smiled: "This Cold Bamboo City is my last battlefield!"

The Pegasus Knights are gradually starting to emerge into the air, and they are extremely mobile enough to escape from the tide of the undead.

In the end, there were only two people left in the tower that was originally full of high-ranking figures from the major forces of Hanzhu City.

"Stinky boy, why don't you leave?" Xiao Mu said helplessly.

"I also want to be a great man like you. Lu Hai grinned.

"You're going to cut off what I've learned all my life. Xiao Mu didn't turn his head, but he didn't see the slightest reproach on his face, but there was a faint sense of pride.

"Anyway, you don't care about these things, how can there be a bad seed in our division?" Lu Hai tightly grasped the bladeless heavy sword in his hand, and the white barrier in the sky began to slowly shatter.

"It's not like you kid. Xiao Mu also took out a weapon that he hadn't used for many years, an iron sword that was so rusted that it was about to break.

"Although you look honest, I still know the little thing in your heart, you are not as stupid as you seem. ”

"I'm also a hot-blooded teenager... I also want to be like a hero..."Lu Hai smiled bitterly, "I come from a family, so I usually have too many things to worry about, and I need to think about a lot of things, otherwise I will be found by those guys who are good at intrigue." Lu Hai suddenly smiled, his sturdy body containing explosive power. "Teacher, in fact, I have always had a question, why did you choose to take me as an apprentice in the first place? Although I am also a little talented, it is very ordinary to put it in a big place like Xingzhu City. ”

Xiao Mu was silent for a while, his thoughts drifted ten years ago, when he first came to this city, it was a very sunny afternoon, he first came to Hanzhu Vocational College, and at a glance he saw Lu Hai who was practicing penance on the stage, Lu Hai was a little fat man at that time, the little fat man was not skilled enough to remember many martial arts movements, and he looked very stupid... But that afternoon, Xiao Mu watched the one who kept repeating a set of movements on the stage, and gradually changed from bulky to proficient... What impressed him even more was that the little fat man's eyes were so stubborn and annoying, just like he was many years ago.

So Xiao Mu, who had never had the idea of accepting apprentices, accepted the first apprentice and the last one.

"I don't know. Xiao Mu's wrinkled face revealed a smile, "Maybe this is fate." ”

"Teacher, what about you?" Lu looked at the white light curtain that was gradually shattering, and suddenly asked.

"I come from a nomadic tribe in the north. ”

"There are many wildernesses in the north and the climate is harsh, and the people of our tribe make a living by hunting the demonic beasts of the forest, so the people of our tribe are born warriors. ”

"When I was a child, the Xingzhu Empire was in great turmoil, and the [Rebellion of the Sky] swept across the country, and even the army with the border was reduced a lot. ”

"Our tribe is threatened by the [Orcs] from the north, and we are forced to become slaves to collect food and cloth for the Orcs. ”

"I thought then that if I could become the general of the Empire, I would have to banish those greedy orcs from the country forever. Later, I embarked on the road of study, I came to the imperial capital, where I had my own story, I became a top professional, and I also got my wish to enter the imperial military department, and finally became a general step by step. ”

"As I thought when I was a child, I became a general, and when I led my army back to the north, I found that my tribe had long since been completely enslaved by beasts, and they had lost themselves and became hard-working, emotionless machines..."

"Then I became an orc nightmare, and I vowed to stay there forever and protect everyone behind me. ”

"But I gradually discovered that my original intention was to protect others, and in the end I became the most murderous person in the whole of the North, and I no longer know how much blood my hands were stained with in my twenty years of military life. I led the Northern Legion to burn and loot in the orc tribes, turning captives into slaves and throwing them into the mountains to mine, and I became the one who plundered. ”

"I hated myself like this, and I became the person I ever hated the most"

"So I resigned, and I came here without a quarrel with the world. ”

"But reality doesn't seem to want me to calm down, I'm a soldier of the Empire, and protecting others is my accusation. ”
