Tang Zhangwei led a large number of troops and annihilated Zhu Wen's troops with absolute superiority. The troops that Tang Zhaozong had worked so hard to collect were annihilated in an instant.

Wisteria flowers bloomed on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and General Tang Zhangwei and his troops began to count the fruits of their victory.

To live in this world, we must benefit from this world, and not try to add to this world.

There are people who are rich but not interesting, who are so poor in speech that they can almost kill people when they speak.

However, Tang Zhangwei is not such a person, he has power and money, but he tries his best to make others happy, because he understands that only when others are happy, his career can be bigger, and his rule can last forever.

The smart Tang Zhang Weiying ushered in his peak moment, whether it was his military strength or economic strength, everything was the best.

"But I can't stay here!"

"Unless you don't want to stop him. As soon as you leave our territory, the power of the pattern will disappear and he will be able to see you again. ”

Richard's clenched fists trembled. Karen could tell from the look on his face that he was about to take it anymore and was about to go out to fight in desperation.

"The choice is yours," the soul said. "Wait here, let him kill some of our people, and when he's gone, go find the box, go and kill him. Or go out now and be killed together. ”

Richard closed his eyes tightly. His chest strained to heav.

"I'll wait," his voice was so low that it was barely audible.

Karen stretched out her arms and threw her arms around his neck, her head resting on his head, and the two of them cried together. The circle of elders spun again.

Until she and Richard were woken up by Birdman, that was the last thing she remembered. When she remembered what the spirits had said, it felt like a nightmare that the clay people had been slaughtered and that they had to enter the Arganda Valley to ask Sota about the whereabouts of the last box. At the thought of the witch, Karen's heart couldn't help but cringe. The other elders stood beside them and helped the two to their feet. Everyone's expressions were solemn. Tears seem to be coming out again. She forced them to go back.

The Birdman pushed open the door, ushering in the icy night air and a clear, starry sky.

The clouds are gone. Even the snake cloud is gone.

In less than an hour, it was about to dawn, and the eastern sky was already a hint of red. A hunter with a serious expression handed them clothes and Richard's sword. Speechless, they got dressed and walked out.

A group of hunters and shooters was heavily protected around the assembly house. Many people had blood on their bodies. Richard pushed the elder away and walked in front of the birdman.

"Tell me what happened," he calmly ordered.

"A red devil descended from the sky, bringing a man. He's looking for you. His eyes burned with rage, and he poked his spear into Richard's chest. The birdman, with a face carved out of stone, rests his hand on the spear and pushes the tip of the spear away.

"He could only find your clothes, so he started killing. Kill children! His chest heaved with rage.

"Our arrows can't reach her. Our spears can't touch him. Our fists can't touch him. Many of those who tried to resist were killed by the magic flames. Then he became angrier when he saw us using fire. He extinguished all the fires. Then he crawls back to the Red Devil and tells us that if we regenerate fire, he will come back and kill every child in the village. He uses his magic to make Cindy float in front of him and hug Cindy. A gift, he said, to a friend. Then he flew away. You and your sword are there! ”

Selwyn's eyes welled up with tears. Karen clutched her chest, feeling a heart-rending pain. She knows who the gift is for.

The man spat at Richard. Selwyn ran towards the man, and Richard held out his arm to stop him.

"I heard the voices of ancestral spirits," Selwin said. "I know it wasn't his fault."

Karen put her arm around Selwin's shoulders and comforted him. "Be strong. We saved him in almost impossible circumstances.

We can save him one more time. “

He nodded bravely. Richard asked softly what she said to Selwyn.

"A panic," she replied. "Ease his pain."

Richard nodded in understanding, then turned to the man with the spear.

"Take me to see the people he killed," he said emotionlessly.

"Why?" The man asked.

"So that I'll never forget why I killed that person."

The man glanced at the elders in exasperation, then led them all to the central plaza. Karen put on the expression of a confessor, hiding the feelings she would reveal about what she was about to see. She had seen it many times before, in other villages, other places. Just as she imagined, what she saw in front of her was the same as what she had seen before. The walls were littered with torn and broken bodies of children, charred bodies of men and women, some without arms, some with jaws. The birdman's niece is also among them. Richard walked expressionlessly through the wailing and screaming chaos of the crowd, past the dead and watched, his eyes showing the calm of the center of a hurricane. Or rather, she thought, the calm before the lightning.

"You brought it to us," the man hissed. "It's all your fault."

Richard saw that the others around him nodded in agreement, and he looked at the man with the spear. His voice was soft.

"If thinking so calms your pain, blame me. I choose to blame the people who have their blood on their hands. He said to the Birdman and the other elders. Don't light a fire until it's all over. This will only cause more killings. I swear to stop this person or die trying. Thank you, my friend, for helping me. ”

His eyes turned to Karen. His eyes were sharp as blades, reflecting the anger he had just seen. He gritted his teeth.

"Let's go find the witch."

Of course, they didn't have a choice. But she knows Sota.

They go to their deaths.

Maybe they can go straight to Daken. Ha asks where the third box is.

Karen walked up to the birdman and jerked her arms around him.

"Remember me," she whispered.

After they separated, the birdman swept his gaze across the crowd with a solemn expression. "These two people need some protection to reach the borders of our territory safely."

Selwyn immediately stepped forward. Without a hint of hesitation, his best team of hunters, ten people, stood beside him together, and Princess Myrett suddenly turned around and slapped Rachel with a sweat. Heavy. Rachel certainly didn't do anything wrong, the princess just liked to hit her when she was most defenseless. The princess took it as a form of entertainment.
