The wind in the border area was very cold, and the gust blowing from the distant desert especially made Bai Cixi feel cold, this morning was obviously the weekend, but he had just finished his journey and arrived at the country's border stronghold. The small outpost bunker and the three towers around it were all the chips that Bai Cixi had now, and he would not completely give up because of this order from Onike, at least he did not complain in the slightest after visiting with the footsteps of the local garrison all morning.

The fortress is built on an earthen hill at the border point, occupying a high position and looking out from a distance at the Vormar Inner Ring Gate behind him, and even more buildings can be seen faintly on a clear day, which gives Bai Cixi a sense of belonging. The commander of the fortress was an experienced civil servant, and although he was not skilled in warfare, his mastery of magic earned him a reputation as a sage. He and Bai Cixi have a good respect, and under his leadership, there have been no obvious mistakes in the border lands, of course, these are all things before.

Recently, it has not been peaceful here, the rumored Fallen and their mercenaries are accumulating nearby, and even the garrison himself does not dare to guarantee which corner is in danger, which is why Onique will send the young and promising Bai Cixi. Hearing about this situation, Bai Cixi improved slightly, his heart that originally felt exiled was eased a little, at least he was needed here, and only by dealing with the front line well would he leave more time for Ueno Dark Fragrance and Hou Cunxin.

However, when Bai Cixi sat in the sun after a simple lunch, more problems and difficulties appeared. Even now, what if he Bai Cixi exhausted his ability to defend the safety of a piece of the border, even if Dark Xiang found the legendary artifact? Could it be that Walmart can't effectively protect the remote control, and Bai Cixi really doesn't dare to guarantee that everyone who finds it has the ability to protect it.

What to do, everyone's hard work. In fact, it is very likely that in the end, it will have to be solved in the most cruel way. Bai Cixi was quite confused, he didn't know who he should trust during the time when the gast had cut off contact. Or do you really make up your own mind like Gast.

Suddenly, piles of steaming mist moved in front of Bai Cixi. The boy found that it was a glass handed over by the old man of the garrison of the fortress, and the tea was still steaming. After thanking the local commander, Bai Cixi felt that he was quite happy, after all, he was sent here as a minister, and the person he met was still an old man who was kind and kind and treated his subordinates as sons.

"Can the old man sit here?" The garrison officer asked the young man by the campfire as if he did not know the ownership of the fortress, of course, this would not be refused, so the old man sat down immediately. "What's upset?"

Bai Cixi couldn't tell whether the old man was saying a statement or asking rhetorically. In short, he was a little unaware, let alone talking to the old man. The dazed young man shook his head, rubbing his hand on the edge of the teacup as if he was masochistic, enduring the relatively high heat.

"Tell me about it, everyone in this camp is like this."

This proposal was requested by the old man on his own initiative, Bai Cixi had a trace of interest, he turned to look at the old man's gray beard, cheeks covered with war marks, although the battle mage was old, but facing the future. He will not be confused in the face of the enemy, no matter whether the ability is reached or not, the old man will always be optimistic.

Bai Cixi wanted to laugh a little. Because he didn't make himself understand this truth in the end, and even needed an old man who could be used as a grandfather to inspire him. He said, "I hope my question doesn't bother you, sir." Suppose your troops are sent out by you on a protection mission, and later the troops cut off contact with you, and they find the people who need to be protected after many setbacks and sacrifices, but they may not be able to protect the target, and if they let the target fall into the hands of the enemy, the damage will be enormous, and even the cost of sacrificing the whole team cannot be compared to that damage. That's the state, what should they do. What do they do to make you less angry in the end? ”

Bai Cixi's problem is a metaphor for his own situation. Of course, the old man didn't know and didn't need to know what it meant, so he thought about it seriously. This is indeed very difficult to answer, after all, from the beginning the object of the question, the old man was powerless.

"Are there any reinforcements?" As a seasoned staff officer, the old man asked Bai Cixi seriously.

"It would be nice to have someone like that to help." The boy said in despair. "None of the remaining troops of that force can survive with the protected person, it's too dangerous. I really don't know, are they going to continue? And speaking of which, the troops in this issue are also very sorry for the person who was protected. ”

Looking at the helpless young man, the old man was a little puzzled and asked why.

"Because if it weren't for the fact that the army had to go to the enemy and other dangers to find the person to be protected, it wouldn't have let that poor object be exposed, everyone did their best to do a good job, but it was possible that they were just being used, so this is the most unhappy part, if you knew that you didn't have the ability to protect, why did you find him out." After saying this, Bai Cixi was like a deflated ball, slowly put down the teacup and lowered his head and buried it in his chest.

After a few minutes, the old man suddenly said: "Maybe this is called fate, maybe you want to hear a more effective and sophisticated solution from the old man, but although the old man can't fight, he has seen many battles, and I have seen more stumps and broken lives than you have seen in the coarse stones in the rice." Sometimes difficulties and crises are fruitless, and there is no good way to achieve success, but if that's the case, can you say that you don't face them? Can you say that the only way to surrender in the face of the mountain that must be crossed is to surrender? No, the old man knows, only when you really find the people around you who are worth cherishing, you will not care about the price, you will not care about the sacrifice, because that motivation is enough for you to hit the stone with an egg, so that you at least have the courage. ”

The old man's vicissitudes of life were still fluttering in the cold wind, just as unchanged as when Bai Cixi first saw him, maybe behind this old man standing on the border, his family and his friends all lived in that land, which was why he was able to say such optimistic words.

"I'll give you a suggestive answer." The old man suddenly said this, so Bai Cixi had to raise his head and look at the other party seriously, hoping to get information from his eyes as soon as possible. "The embarrassment of the troops has come to that point, from what was it in the first place? In order to ensure that the protected object is not obtained by the enemy, then the problem is solved, no matter what kind of disaster your help brings to the other party, what kind of sacrifice you bring to yourself, the moment this decision appears, its meaning is to protect itself, so even if they fight alone, even if there are no reinforcements, they must fight to the end. ”

After saying this, the old man had actually led the topic to the edge of a very terrifying and stern sù, after all, this was equivalent to sending him to death, but in fact, after saying this, the old man grinned under his beard, maybe even he himself found out what kind of shock his answer brought to Bai Cixi.

They talked happily, but the old man got a message from the guards, and Bai Cixi only saw a brief exchange between the garrison officer and the sentry on the side, and he didn't even know what kind of information the old man heard. It's just that after that, the old man asked the soldiers to lead the way, and also called Bai Cixi, obviously something big happened in the place where he went, just look at the number of people mobilized in this fortress in one go.

"What's wrong?" Bai Cixi's question was not answered, and the old man was shouting loudly to put the supplies in place and send sentries to prepare the vehicles. Led by the garrison officer, Bai Cixi followed a team of more than ten people in the busy camp and came to the gate of the fence and went down the mountain along the path.

Along the way, Bai Cixi counted the tree piles he saw when he came up the mountain not long ago, so as to judge the position ahead, and when they reached the bottom of the hill, Bai Cixi found that a batch of baggage came from the official road in front of the mountain recess. Obviously, everyone was so busy and the garrison officer came down in person just to get the people behind the pile.

Bai Cixi stopped and waited with the team, and the pale haired young man who jumped past the old man saw a tall horse coming out of the baggage pile, and another carriage drove after that. When the baggage of the vast group of nearly 100 people came over, the garrison officer hurriedly called his subordinates to greet him, took off the baggage and placed it.

At the same time, Bai Cixi found the person on the sycophant, and if he insisted on saying it, these two people are now Bai Cixi's colleagues and friends, of course, when it comes to relationships, Bai Cixi is not popular with them. At the head of the middle-aged man in the robe riding a white colt is Wolf. Dark, the man who had previously brought an invitation to hire a Provence* division, was surrounded by a tall red pony with a silver light armor and a silver cape, and was rumored to be a guard that even Freud was quite fond of.

After these two people approached, they immediately dismounted and greeted the garrison, in fact, the two of them didn't just put on a stinky face, at least they were quite unoptimistic about Bai Cixi's milky level, so they completely ignored the young man beside them. Of course, the garrison officer had no choice, and after a few pleasantries, the carriage also came closer.

What made Bai Cixi unbelievable was that here, the side door of the carriage was opened by the coachman, and the man who came out of the bright space inside had a seductive beard, and appeared in front of Bai Cixi lightly and elegantly.

Richard. Michelle

Why this man came to the border, why they suddenly came here, this is simply different from Onnick Chennuo's. (To be continued)
