Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Veteran's Remnant
Seeing the Fang Tian painting halberd in the picture, Ye Han already knew it in his heart.
There is no doubt that this is the past of the previous demon general, although for some reason Ye Han saw these scattered memory fragments, it must be related to the previous soul-breaking spell.
And between the rotation of memories, a desolate and sad voice was transmitted intermittently, at the end of that memory, there was a dark and desolate scene, a back in battle armor, full of gloom and desolation.
The figure wearing a mighty battle armor and holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand was no longer the original burly appearance, but faintly appeared a little rickety, and a strand of gray hair was exposed under the hard helmet, obviously the last years of the hero.
"An army of 100,000...... Demon Slayer ...... Fail...... The prince died...... The generals died in front of the battle...... Withdraw...... Cannot...... Treasure ...... Formation avoidance...... Escape into the Magic Mountain......"
"Join the Formation...... Sleepy...... Ten years of waste...... Fang Dewu...... Late ......"
The fragments of memory that were riddled with holes seemed to be suddenly pulled away, revealing the scene of the veteran sitting cross-legged on the ground.
It was a pitch-black land, with broken armor and decayed blades everywhere, and in addition to the desolate back, there were corpses lying on the ground in dense circles.
It was a black picture, and in addition to the black bones that were corrupted everywhere, there was also the pitch-black air that shrouded between heaven and earth that was constantly eroding their bodies.
The old veteran was the only living creature in the entire memory, but even so, as he said, it was too late.
This general, who has been on the battlefield for decades, has lost his sharpness when he watched countless robes die on the battlefield when he attacked the cold abyss, and the invincible princes were also buried in the dust.
In the end, only a few thousand remnants of the 100,000 army remained, but under his leadership, he could not retreat to the pass, and in the midst of the heavy monsters, he could only take risks and break into such an ancient forbidden place as the Burial Emperor Ridge.
However, after entering this forbidden place, he discovered that this so-called Burial Emperor Ridge turned out to be the relics of a sect handed down from ancient times, and there must be countless treasures in it.
With his experience, he naturally saw the extraordinaryness of this cave heaven and blessed land, if they could take down this ancient sect's dojo, they would not only not be the generals of the defeated army, but also the heroes of merit.
Such a discovery naturally made him ecstatic, and he, who had lost his square inch, completely forgot the reason why the Burial Emperor Ridge was called a forbidden place, and also forgot that they were in the dangerous Zhenhan Continent.
For a general who has been on the battlefield all year round, that feat is a temptation they can't resist no matter what.
Even if they all know that greed for merit is a taboo for soldiers, but this is like a poppy for addicts, even if they know that it is a trap of death, they can't give it up.
The rest of the world, they were like gods helping them, and although many soldiers had been lost in this ruin, they were outnumbered after all.
Under the imperial army formation, the demon beasts and formations that blocked in front of them all turned into powder. And their group was so strong that it took less than three days to completely grasp this ancient ruin.
Conquer the ancient ruins here, and the treasures and exercises obtained from them are endless, and bring them back to the imperial capital, and then it is natural to add officials to the knighthood, and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Later, everything went smoothly, and after obtaining the grace of the king, he, who was originally a general, broke through the realm of the martial king naturally after obtaining the support of the dynasty's resources, and tore the earth to seal the king!
Time flies, and the general has also passed the most brilliant years of his life, and his figure is not straight, and his back is slightly rickety.
In the twilight of his life, he was already the most meritorious existence in the entire dynasty, fame and fortune, and a supreme minister! It is difficult for anyone in the entire dynasty to stand out from the right.
And when he was old, when he took his children and grandchildren to re-ascend this ancient ruins that he had attacked back then, he suddenly noticed a trace of strangeness.
Looking back, the entire floating mountain has maintained its original appearance, and there has been no change in the past few decades, and there is a strange atmosphere up and down the entire mountain.
Although most of the treasures in this ancient ruins were taken away by him back then, this square land is also a rare blessed land, why did the dynasty never send someone to take it under his command and use it for his own use?
Even if the dynasty is silent about it for unpredictable reasons, the news that the dynasty has captured an ancient ruin has already spread all over the world, and how does the dynasty control all living beings in the world.
The most important thing in the world is the outlaws, who can pay any price in order to improve their cultivation. And in the past few decades, no one has come to explore the opportunity in this ruins, which is really abnormal.
Moreover, when he led his troops to attack the secret realm, he faced many dangers in this ruins, and he didn't know how many brothers he lost. Although most of their bodies were buried anywhere, they were left with gravestones as their resting place, but now they are all gone.
This pile, one by one, such abnormal things, he, an old general who has been fighting horses all his life, has never found out.
The old man's wrinkled palms covered his face, and only then could he clearly perceive that his hands were trembling slightly. He seemed to have sensed something, but he didn't want to believe the harsh reality.
At this time, he suddenly felt that his clothes were being gently pulled, and when he looked back, he found that it was a girl like a porcelain doll carved from pink jade, gently pulling the corners of his clothes.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to tell Yueyue the story of the year?"
The girl's big black eyes were like a clear spring, crystal clear, pure and flawless. This is the granddaughter of his sixth son, and now he has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he is also a person with a full house of children and grandchildren.
The old man's fingers trembled slightly, and he reached out and gently touched the girl's head, and a muddy old tear slipped from the corner of his eye, but it did not fall to the ground, but was caught in the palm of his hand by a young hand.
"Grandpa, why are you crying......"
The girl raised her palm and raised her head, and her big eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, faintly reflected the old man's old face.
"Grandpa, didn't you tell Yueyue? As a general, only by bending rather than bending, bleeding rather than shedding tears, can you be invincible......"
"Invincible...... Hahaha...... Well said!"
The old man laughed loudly, and gently touched the girl's cheek with his hand, and the big hand as rough as old bark caused the girl to dodge for a while, and laughed coquettishly. The old man's eyes showed a touch of doting, but more of a helpless decision.
In this barren mountain, in front of the old man's many children, this old man who stood up to the sky, the Dinghai Divine Needle of the family, and the respected Martial King Supreme in the dynasty slowly straightened his rickety back.
