"But ......"

“…… What about Cuestac? After lowering his head and being silent for a long time, Fang Yu raised his head and looked at Ye Hua in front of him with a burning gaze. The Southern Alliance's plans in Estania are at a critical juncture, and you can't get involved in this war, can you? ”

Ye Hua fell silent. And Fang Yu found the answer to this question between the other party's gazes.

Without too much cover-up, as if the other party just put these two choices in front of him, that's all.

He was silent again.

Ye Hua opened his mouth: "So, you still want to go?" ”

Fang Yu pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

"My friends are still there......"

"Your friend?"

"Prince Aleph is, so is Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia, and Mr. Seychelle, Bishop Farris......"

"I still owe them a favor, how can I run away alone?" Fang Yu seemed to be asking Ye Hua, and as if he was asking himself, his voice was soft, as if he was talking to himself in the wind, "Lord Ye Hua, I walked away today, and I will subconsciously escape again in the future, until I am forced into a corner and there is no way to retreat." ”

He asked in a low voice, "But why should we abandon our friends before then, since we will one day retreat into a corner?" We may be able to take each and every one of them with us, and one day when we are forced to the point where we have no way back, there will always be someone who can pull us along. ”

Ye Hua looked at Fang Yu silently, and in that gaze seemed to see a phantom of the past.

Just like my young self, standing in front of myself, I wonder if everything I have done over the years is following the ideal of the day of departure? But he quickly shook his head slightly, and dispelled the phantom, every choice he made could be said to be true to his heart, maybe some of them made mistakes, but how could there be any perfection in this world?

He will also regret his mistakes, but he will never give up easily, because giving up may be the greatest betrayal - those who choose to take such a path will inevitably have to bear the expectations of others, which are sometimes both praise and responsibility.

"But you have to decide, Ed," his tone loosened, "and if you choose one side, you're doomed to never be able to choose the other." And until you choose, you don't know where it leads—it may be full of flowers, but it may also be full of thorns, or even the end of the road—"

He looked at the young man in front of him, and the face that was even a little childish, and knew in his heart that what he was discussing was not actually a question of whether to escape or not.

Instead, the other party can grow more and understand what they are fighting for. Naturally, there is a mixture of some regrets from his youth, and the expectation that the other party can avoid some unnecessary mistakes for the people he admires.

But Fang Yu said softly:

"But ......"

Flowers may not lead to a distant place.

Thorns may also be the direction we are seeking.

The corners will retreat and retreat until we lose everything.

He whispered the words—

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Hua's eyes, but his tone was still indifferent: "The words can be said very well, but they may not work." ”

"But what you say is what you say," Fang Yu replied firmly, "Not only that, but I will do it again." ”

He suddenly remembered a brief conversation not long ago, and couldn't help but look up at the night sky, where the twinkling stars were the eyes of Lady Marlan.

Will the courage that does not go against his heart lead him to the future?

Ye Hua listened silently, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly.

He stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder gently, and his voice was a little calm: "Then let's get on the boat." ”

Fang Yu raised his head and looked at this Ranger King with a little surprise, did he hear something wrong, get on the boat? We?

He opened his mouth: "But, Great God Ye Hua, the Southern Alliance ......"

"I'm me," Ye Hua put the longbow on his back, "The Southern Alliance is the Southern Alliance. ”

He looked ahead, a little calm in his gaze. "If the Alliance doesn't know that, I'll let them tell the difference—"

When Fang Yu heard this, he was a little flustered for a while, when would he be able to say such domineering words?

……

Luo Yu was leaning on the mast and arranging the cables.

When he looked up, he saw the two of them walking in the direction of the boat, one after the other. "Look, there's another big guy in the group's head," Parker helped out as he touched the elemental envoy with his elbow. "Then again, have you noticed that the head of the regiment seems to be a little different?"

Luo Yu glanced at the things in the other party's hand and silently took it over, in case the Paparals made a mess of everything. He glanced in that direction, as if he felt that the other party was a little different from before, maybe he had become more stable, and that calm look was rarely seen in the other party in the past.

"Really?" Parker asked.

Luo Yu nodded silently.

"That's right," Parker couldn't help but smug when he saw that someone agreed with him. "The head of the regiment walked with the king of the rangers, it seems to have become shorter, haha, ouch-"

"Who smashed me?"

On the mast, Pasha looked at him innocently, and said hesitantly:

"Mr. Pa, Mr. Parker, I'm sorry, I—I slipped my hand......"

"Forget it, forget it......"

Parker looked at the poor little boy and had to admit that he was unlucky.

……

The bright flame was like a huge torch lit in the sky, reflected in the eyes of everyone who was watching this scene.

To the south of Cuestac, a sea of fire stretched along the building, burning the earth and rocks and igniting the wooden beams and columns within; There was a cracking sound from the rising flames, sparks, and the rise of hot air attracted a violent wind, and the fire took advantage of the wind to spread further northward.

If you look at this scene from above, you can see that the black crowd is fleeing the area of the sea of fire, and the cries and screams are shaking the sky for a while, and it is none other than the inhabitants of Cuestak. Little did they know that a plague would suddenly befall them on this night.

But this catastrophe is just the beginning.

The sand thieves followed, and after the flash of the snowy sword, their heads fell to the ground with warm blood. The women lost their husbands and their fathers to their children, and the sand thieves laughed and pulled the women by the hair and dragged them out of their hiding places, screaming and whistling mingle with the cries of the women, like hell on earth.

Among the fleeing crowds, there were also people who were going backwards.

Princess Rupert stepped out of the crowd and watched the scene from afar.

Behind her, the palace guards walked out of the crowd one by one, armed with halberds, lined up on the long street.

"Where is General Elpard?"

"Just crossed Patrick's Bridge......"

"Your Royal Highness Princess," the subordinates on the side hurriedly spoke: "Reinforcements from other directions have not yet arrived, and the enemy is out......numbered."

Rupert had this hellish sight reflected in his eyes, and he almost bit his lower lip with blood.

She turned back and asked, "My father and brother's people are suffering, do you want me to watch the sand thieves run rampant?" ”

"Who says our reinforcements haven't arrived yet?"

"I'm here—"

The eldest princess pulled out her long sword with her backhand, like a snowy light, and pointed forward:

"Soldiers, I will fight side by side with you, forward, and clear the sand bandits—"

The sound was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the sound of the peeling flames, which was enough to inspire.

There was a 'bang', and the palace guards put down the halberd in their hands.

Tian Lan held the communication crystal in his hand and watched this scene, and was stunned for a while.

In the past, it was probably the sand pirates or blind followers who used some means, but the communication in the city has been completely cut off, and they can only use the system's own communication methods between squads to contact each other. The other method is community, but both methods have limitations, the former has distance limitations, and the latter has a certain latency.

In order to keep the princess's side in touch smoothly, the Nanami Brigade had to be scattered among the various armies.

And the reason why she volunteered to come here was probably because of the sense of justice and courage that suddenly appeared in her small chest before, which made her think of the big cat man and Miss Attila, as well as the clumsy leader, Brother Ed.

It's just that before coming here, she hadn't imagined such a scene at all. For a while, Tianlan couldn't help but be a little stunned, she couldn't help but think of the small reason why she came to this world, that little grievance, compared to the real and cruel scene in front of her, it seemed to be worth mentioning at all.

Compared with the courage of Her Royal Highness the princess, her little ridiculous excuses are simply a little squeamish and pretentious.

She bit her lip and gently shook the crystal in her hand.

The movement here finally alarmed the sand thieves in the distance.

They apparently spotted these sudden guards as well.

There was still a trace of astonishment on the faces of the sand thieves, obviously they originally thought that these noble lords would hide in the palace and tremble, but that would not help, because how could an inner city stop the attack of the king of sand thieves, Mahazar. It's a pity that the treasures in the palace and the rumored lovely princess are also destined to be untouchable.

It's just that the sand thieves saw the princess in the crowd, and they couldn't help but show surprised eyes for a while, they didn't recognize the eldest princess, but they also recognized each other's beauty.

Many people are looking straight in this direction.

It's just that the Praetorian guards lined up in a row, and the long halberds that shimmer with cold light in their hands, make the sand thieves hesitate for a while. There were more of them, but their past experience had never brought them into battle with a well-trained regular army, and looking at this 'hedgehog' made it a little unclear what to do.

But the guards advanced steadily, the sand thieves gathered and slowly retreated, and those who were in distress finally got a chance and hurried back, fleeing behind the princess's side. Seeing the prey in their hands fleeing, the sand thieves finally became agitated, and I don't know who shouted:

"Scatter them!"

The sand pirates finally gave up what they had discipline.

They drove the sand lizards and rushed up, slamming into a thick wall of palace guards. As if with a bang, the attack arrows of the sand thieves were instantly split apart and scattered—as if as the sand king Babaltan had judged, these rabble were no match for the forbidden army at all.

But the sand thieves were undisciplined, but they had a bloody courage, and the death of their companions, far from making them afraid, provoked the ferocity of the remainders.

After all, the sand thieves had a numerical advantage, and they attacked again and again, and the formation of the palace guards finally loosened and opened a hole. Like a burst of the levee, the flood rushed in, and the sand thieves followed the opening.

The palace guards had to retreat for the first time, but this retreat could not be stopped. Princess Rupert gritted her teeth and went up, but to no avail, and soon there were a few more openings where there was no armor, and blood gushed out, staining her armor red. And it was at this time that a drain flew in, right in the chest of the eldest princess.

She snorted and leaned back. Not far away, Tianlan let out an awkward 'ah', picked up his magic piano, and plucked a note vigorously.

The beating notes fell between the sand thieves and exploded into a violent sound wave, and the sand thieves who were rushing up to capture Her Royal Highness the princess immediately staggered under the impact.

However, before Tianlan could rejoice, she saw the sand thieves turn their eyes to her, and she was so frightened that she dropped the magic guide harp, turned around and ran. But before she had gone two steps, she was overtaken, and the sand thief grabbed her, and the little girl immediately screamed in a disjointed voice.

But a figure crashed into her, it was the eldest princess who got up from the ground.

Sky Blue fell to the ground with a grunt, and cried out in fear:

"Celestia, we're going to die!"

The first time she was so scared, tears flowed down her face, thinking that she would never dare to disobey Captain Ed in the future, and she would definitely stay behind and never get into trouble again.

But Princess Rupert only pressed her hand to her heart and gently reassured, "Don't worry. ”

How could it not be worried?

But the shouting and killing seemed to be really quiet for a while.

Sky Blue opened her eyes with some surprise, only to find that the sand thief was already dead—Princess Rupert stabbed her through the heart with a sword.

In the distance, a group of knights dressed in plain white snow robes were rushing across the bridge and rushing in this direction. Their vanguard had arrived, like a sharp sword, piercing the back of the sand thieves. The little girl blinked her eyes, and finally saw the banners of the knights, the shining swords, which had a resounding name in this kingdom—

Morning light.

She knew the knights as if she had seen the big cat people.

It was the Templars of Marland.

And the famous Marlan knights, the sand thieves have obviously heard of it, and when they are attacked by the enemy, they finally lose their fighting spirit and flee backwards. Looking at those distant enemies, Sky Blue realized that the battle on this side had finally come to an end with the addition of the new force of the Marlan Knights.

She breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes, and thought to herself that the oath she had made before would take effect next time.

I don't want to hear the words of the stupid head of Ed.

She clasped her hands together and secretly prayed to Lady Marlan.

But Sky Blue was breaking the contract here, but Princess Rupert sighed softly, whether the battle was over or not, she knew in her heart that it was over.

She looked back and asked:

"What about Mahazar, has anyone seen the king of the sand thieves?"

No one answered.

……

When the sand thieves scattered into the city, Mahazar did not move.

The king of sand thieves was like a cold-eyed wolf king, watching the sand thieves scatter in all directions, arson, killing and looting, but those were originally a rabble, and he never counted on these so-called 'allies' who were 'united' together. He still has a well-disciplined army of old subordinates around him, and that's enough—

He had only one goal, and that was the wealth of the palace and the woman.

And whether these people can leave alive is still a question.

He had received the information from the previous that the palace guards had been killed.

A lot of guts –

But also stupid.

He held the reins in his hand and was about to give the order, when suddenly, an uproar came from the back of the group.

Mahazar was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look in that direction.

A somewhat frightened voice came from behind:

"What's that......?"

"There's something in the sky!"

"The clouds are cracking......"

……

In the darkness, Alyssa glanced in the direction of Kassan's palace overhead, which was about the only place in the palace that was lit up at the moment.

It must be lively there, as before—she thought to herself.

But the dispute between the ministers above, and the earth-shattering shouts outside, could not reach this place, and there was some silence in the darkness for a while, only the bright lake under the starlight in the distance, and the rustling sound that came from time to time in the crystal. About a quarter of an hour later, she made another post and waited quietly for a response.

Not far away, something suddenly caught her attention, there were some crumbling stones, the same place from which Achilles had fallen earlier, and the body had long since been taken away by the guards, leaving only a mess.

Miss Nightingale walked over and bent down to pick up the thing on the ground.

She looked at the thing silently, her eyes a little stunned for a while, until a voice came from behind her:

"It's a little scary to be alone in this place, right?"

Alyssa looked back and realized that it was Sylvid.

"Is there any news from the head of the regiment?"

Sylvid shook her head slightly.

Alyssa was a little surprised. "Miss Sylvide, aren't you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?"

Sylvid chuckled softly, she had seen Florence before, and her childhood friend was almost frightened.

But strange to say, there was no trace of uneasiness in her heart, and she was even a little quiet, probably just because she knew that that person would definitely come back.

If it's something that even he can't solve, what does she have to worry about?

Alyssa was stunned, looked at the other party's gaze, and suddenly laughed:

"You really believe in the regimental leader."

Sylvide only smiled in response.

Miss Nightingale did not speak, holding the thing in her hand, and only looked silently at the fire in the sky. But after a moment, a hint of horror suddenly met her gaze.

She turned her head suddenly, just in time to see Sylvid looking over with a frown.

The night of Questak that the two of them saw seemed to crack apart.

But—

“…… What is that......? ”

……

Look at what is coming down in mid-air.

For the first time, there was complete silence in the Kasan Palace, and the ministers looked pale and looked at each other.

Alepf also took a few steps forward, almost to the terrace outside, and he looked up at the thing that appeared in mid-air.

It was a massive, blood-red, eyeball-like thing, almost half of Questrak's sky, peeking out of the clouds - motionless, staring at the city. The wind from the fire below blew across the high platform, blowing everyone's robes and hair in a mess—

But no one reacted to this, and the courtiers who cared most about red tape on weekdays were also like stone sculptures at the moment, motionless.

"W-What is that......?"

"What kind of monster is that......?"

Ai Xiaoxiao also looked up at the huge blood-colored stars in the sky.

The terrifying coercion surrounds everyone's heart, almost breathless.

For the first time, she realized that the world seemed to be more beautiful and interesting than she imagined. There are also these frightening and unsettling things in front of us.

But will the big cousin come back to save them?

At this time, Tang Xin grabbed her friend's hand. "Tiny, you go to the back."

Ai Xiaoxiao looked back at her, her face was slightly white: "But Tangtang, what about you?" ”

"I'll have to stay in this place, and if the communication is restored, my brother will be able to find someone." Tang Xin's face was still pale at the beginning of his recovery.

Her tone was also a little weak, and her voice was not too high.

Ai Xiaoxiao glanced at her with some concern. "But Tangtang, you've only been sick for a long time...... And those people ......" she glanced at the courtiers in the hall again, "they don't seem to be very kind to us, except for the Lord Seychelle and Prince Alepf......

"Don't worry......"

Tang Xin looked at the things in the air, and although she said this, she didn't have a bottom in her heart.

She actually recognized it.

That's an abomination—

The twisted incarnation of God above the earth.
