Chapter 488: The Empty City: The Only One (9)

Past. A city guarded by two.

At night, the moon and stars are sparse, and the city of protection is quiet, while the torches on the surrounding walls continue to burn. Feng and Shinyuki looked at the firelight in the distance, sighed and lit the candles in the room.

In front of the simple little dressing mirror, Feng and Xinxue slowly combed their hair, looking at themselves in the mirror, beautiful is beautiful, but there is a resentment and sadness that cannot be dissipated.

Outside the door, a figure appeared and knocked lightly.

"Excuse me. Bai Qi's calm voice came.

"Come in. Feng and Xinxue got up to greet Bai Qi, feeling quite uneasy in their hearts.

Bai Qi walked in, looked at Feng and Xinxue and sighed, "Haven't you rested so late?"

"General Bai, it's not appropriate for you to come to me so late, right?"

Bai Qi shook his head, "I came to you to tell you that Xinyang has been taken down by me." ”

Feng and Xinxue's body trembled, "You found out?"

"In the name of me and Fenghe, mobilize the army to transfer materials outside the Guardian City, and destroy the stability of closed time and space, no matter how stealthy he is, he will eventually be exposed. ”

"Does Feng He know about this?" asked Feng and Xinxue worriedly.

"I arrested Xinyang, but I suppressed this matter, and Fenghe didn't know it yet. Xinyang has been following me for a long time, he doesn't have the courage to do such a thing, you are behind it, right?" Bai Qi asked.

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

Feng and Xinxue did not answer Bai Qi directly, but asked rhetorically, "May I ask General Bai, what is the situation in Liangjian Mountain now?"

Bai Qi frowned, it is impossible for Feng and Xinxue to be unclear about this kind of thing, not to mention that she is Feng He's closest person, even if she is a child, she can explain it clearly.

He didn't know the meaning of Feng and Shinxue's question, but he still replied, "We stick to the city of protection, the ghost clan is entrenched in the city of war, the dead in battle are resurrected every month as scheduled, and the ghost clan parasitizes my subjects and is also immortal and unwounded, entangled with enemies and me, and there is a stalemate." ”

"Go on. Feng and Shinxue said.

Bai Qi frowned again, he felt that today's Xinxue was very strange, and even wondered if she was now controlled by the ghost clan, "The 200,000 warriors who were once in the closed loop of time and space in the city of war have increased the strength of their non-material life, which is not suitable for the ghost clan to parasitize, and can already cause damage to the ghost clan." At present, we have the advantage in the war, but in the long run, the strength of the ghost clan will continue to increase, and we will definitely lose. ”

"So the defeat is decided, isn't it?"

"Before the balance of strength is tilted in favor of the ghost clan, find a way to avoid being parasitic and prevent the ghost clan from resurrecting, and we will win. ”

"How long?"

Bai Qi was silent, this time may be very long, or there may be no way to find that way at all. In fact, all the soldiers of the Two Blades Mountain understand that defeat is sooner or later, it's just a matter of how long it will take to get there.

"I'm tired of Bai Qi, are you tired?" asked Feng and Xinxue.

Bai Qi was still silent.

"Fenghe is tired, your soldiers are tired, and the people who protect the city are all tired. Everyone is just waiting for that ending. Don't say any miracles, that kind of thing has never been in Two Blades. ”

Bai Qi looked at Feng and Xinxue heavily, "What does this have to do with the time loop you instructed Xinyang to destroy the Guardian City? Do you know that if this closed loop is broken, many people will die completely." ”

"It started to be unstable a long time ago, and we will all die sooner or later, sooner or later, is it that important?" Feng and Xinxue said calmly, in the city of two blades, no one can't see through life and death, the soldiers are like this, and the same is true for women and children.

"You need to adjust, I can advise you and rest for a while. Bai Qi said.

"General Bai, if we are destined to die, then do you want us to die as a victor or a loser?"

Bai Qi's eyes moved slightly, and he said thoughtfully, "You are doing a very dangerous thing. ”

"I'm doing something that will put an end to this. ”

"You're doing something that the wind and would never agree to. Bai Qi said.

"I'm doing something that will kill us in victory. ”

"You're doing something that everybody hurts. ”

"Will you then help me carry all that hatred and swearing?"

Bai Ji clenched his fist several times and released it, he was very difficult, he guessed what Feng and Xinxue were going to do, he thought she was crazy, but what she said may be right.

Feng and Xinxue stepped forward and looked directly at Bai Qi with both eyes, "You won't tell Feng He, right?" ”

"You have to think clearly. Bai Qi said solemnly.

"I've got that in mind, and I know you're hungry for a victory, even if it's a burning stone, aren't you?"

"If Fenghe doesn't want to forgive me, all the soldiers won't forgive me. ”

Feng and Xin Xue turned around, returned to the vanity mirror, and began to comb their hair elegantly by the candle flame, "Feng He is more eager to win than anyone else, I just want to help him." ”

Bai Qi stood behind Feng and Xinxue, his face was sometimes hideous and sometimes relieved, and the hand holding the spear became more and more pale, "I will release Xinyang, and order all civilians not to approach the barracks to avoid leaking the news." ”

Feng and Xinxue smiled, "Does General Bai regret that he is so keen, knowing this, you have become our accomplice." ”

Bai Qi gasped and suddenly turned to leave, "Fenghe is patrolling the city, he won't be back tonight, you don't have to wait." ”

A few days have passed, the Guardian City has been reset again, the battle with the ghost clan has been reversed, and a real walk back to the starting point that doesn't know when it will really end, and the twin engines are ready to go again.

Two Blades City will not give up fighting, hatred makes it impossible for them to compromise with the Oni Clan, and giving up is definitely not their choice. In the Guardian City, some people choose to leave on the day when time is reset, because they don't want their memories to be refreshed. There are also people who are reluctant to go, because they hope that the days can be shorter, and if there is only one month of memory forever, it will not be so difficult.

The Oni Clan are used to fighting at night, so in response, the soldiers of the Guardian City have developed the habit of fighting at night. It's another night, and a new round of fighting is about to begin.

In the dilapidated stone house, the cold wind is whining, the candle flame is swaying, and Xinxue is wearing armor for Xinyang.

"Brother, can you come back after you go?"

Xinyang was silent, took off the saber on the stone table and tied it around his waist, and pushed the door open.

Xinyang looked back at Xinxue and sighed, this time will be different. Shin Xue wanted to be alive, but he didn't want to come back alive, because there would be no one waiting for them here, and he didn't have the face to face his comrades.

The moonlight was shining and a flock of crows was circling.

Countless men like Xinyang stepped on the bluestone slab in the night.

Thousands of people were empty, but they couldn't make a sound. Under the tower, two men in military uniforms stood side by side.

Xin Xue clasped her hands and ten fingers in front of her chest, looking at a person under the tower, as if praying for something, "General Feng..."

A soft murmur, but drifted into the distance in the silent night, and the blue-armored man under the tower followed the voice to Xin Xue, revealing a gentle smile.

In the small town, men, young and old, are all ready to go. All the women and children looked at their relatives and said goodbye silently.

The army set off, and the shadows of the trees in the small forest outside the city were mottled, and the two sharp mountains in the distance were as hideous as the devil.

In the city, countless women and children shouted their last blessings in unison in the direction the army had left.

"May the wind and the general triumph. ”

"May General Bai Qi triumph. ”

The army is on the march.

A well-known old man walked up to the White Stone Tower, on which the huge bell was only rung under special circumstances. Once when the war had not started, but there was a great joy, the old city lord would let people ring the bell to congratulate. Then the people of Two Blades City would put on smiling faces and ask the people around them what had happened.

And I don't know when it began, the clock on the tower became synonymous with death, and every time the bell rang, it represented bad news.

On the bluestone road of the Guardian City, no one returned home, but quietly looked in the direction where the army had left.

In this strange atmosphere, Xin Xue didn't know when there was an extra dagger in his hand. And everyone around her has an extra dagger in their hands.

On this night, there were almost only corpses left in the Guardian City, and everyone had a dagger stuck in their hearts.

At the top of the white stone tower, the ancient bell was ringed, and the bell left the stone city, passed through the woods, and drifted into the distance, as if to send the army on a long journey, and seemed to be making a final farewell to relatives.

In the forest, the silent army boiled, and all the soldiers looked back at the city they guarded.

"The death knell has been sounded?" Feng He looked at Bai Qi worriedly, and the latter's calm face told him that the other party must know something, "Bai Qi, what happened to the Guardian City?"

Bai Qi looked at Feng He with great guilt, "The closed loop of time is completely broken, the whole city is broken, and the city of protection is now alive, and it must be a ghost clan." After this battle, we will end this war once and for all, as a victor. ”

The whitestone tower bluestone road, the endless cycle of February days.

The death knell is frightened by the two blades, and the red makeup is cut in the middle of the night.

Nowadays. City of War.

Ye Qingmian took a deep breath, this history made him chill all over, Feng and Xinxue and Bai Qi did too much, in order to win, in order not to resurrect the ghost clan, in order to let people distinguish between their own people and ghost clans, they chose to sacrifice everyone. Even if there are some people who don't want to die, they will eventually be killed as ghosts, and there is no choice between left and right.

"I think they're very good at taking advantage of the short period of dominance and that's the best option in terms of results. Murong didn't forget to say.

"I really can't see how good it is. Ye Qingmian felt that this extreme behavior was extremely disgusting, but if it was him, there was not necessarily a better way at that time.

"I'm tired, tired, hopeless, the only thing I can fight for is a victory, why not catch it?"

"What's the point of such a victory?"

"It's better than waiting until the end of the day to lose completely. ”

"The Two Blades have won, and how many people are left?"

"A big victory on the frontal battlefield, annihilating the ghost clan. However, when he returned to the Guardian City, he suffered heavy losses to the ghost clan who wore the faces of his relatives. Those who couldn't do it basically died, and more than 20,000 people survived in the end. After the war, Fenghe deprived Bai Qi of the command of the army, imprisoned him in the White Stone Tower, and ordered him to ring the death knell day and night to pay tribute to his dead relatives. ”
