"Hurry up! Go fast! ”

"Don't grind!"

"What are you doing walking so slowly? Do you still want someone to come and save you? ”

"There is no hope! Today is your day of death! ”

The clanging sound of the chains dragging back and forth was accompanied by loud warnings that spread around the streets, gradually echoing into the noon sun on March 29, 795 A.D., and the natives from all around the city of Zaraha avoided the straight line of the street in front of them early, giving way to the Imperial troops who were marching and demonstrating. It seems that due to the imminent spring, the snow that originally covered the city and around the city has melted a lot with the increase in temperature, but the chill caused by the remaining snow has been faintly deepened by the scene in front of me: "This is, what is this for?" ”

"It seems that the Imperial Army is going to publicly execute a person, and an announcement was made a few days ago."

"Public executions? Have the Empire done anything like this before? ”

"Although the Imperials have been arresting those who resist, this is the first time that they have been publicly executed, and this adventurer ...... Something terrible must have been done. ”

Stumbling in front of them with the faint whispers of voices on both sides of the street, they slowly stepped into the confines of the central square, which had been extremely empty as the escorts entered, and was finally completely filled with other Imperial soldiers who had arrived around the city. Lined up neatly beside the walls of the ancient city, which still had a little white, the serious-faced Imperial soldiers then raised their spears and swords, and the long column formed by the strict side by side also pointed to the end of the road leading to the center of the square: "Ready-"

"Salute!"

In the neat sound of metal impact, the sword and spear that were put away slowly revealed the figure belonging to Duan Qing, and he was held by several iron hands on his back, and then staggered forward a few steps again, revealing the figure of Bernard who was following him. Under the reverent gaze of countless soldiers falling on him, the general, who was still holding his hands behind his back, took two steps forward again, and finally raised one of his arms into the air with a serious voice unique to the superior: "...... Excuse me. ”

"Do you have anything else to say?"

He lowered his head, and his slanted gaze then fell on Duan Qing's head, who could only give him a reluctant tilt of his head in response because of the entanglement of various twists and shackles: "...... Wait and see, my brothers will come to my rescue. ”

"Your brothers?" Then a mocking smile gradually appeared on Bernard's face: "Just you poor rebels? They can't even muster up their weapons, little one. ”

"They don't just represent the rebels, they represent justice." Duan Qing replied without the slightest disappointment: "The side with justice will eventually win the final victory, and they don't need swords and magic at all. ”

“…… Ignorant and ignorant fools. ”

The expression on his face became more serious, and Bernard slowly withdrew his hands: "What can help you achieve the final victory is not the so-called justice at all, but the out-and-out power!" In the face of great power, the so-called right and wrong do not matter at all, do you understand? ”

"Of course I understand, that's why I'm what I am now." A slight chuckle appeared in Duan Qing's answer: "Guys who will only rely on the strength of the crowd...... Do you have the ability to let me out and go head-to-head? ”

“…… I'll ask you one last time. ”

As if he had lost the last of his interest in continuing to mess with the man in front of him, Bernard turned to his final question: "Where are the rebels hiding?" ”

"Ahh What answered him was Duan Qing's spit forward again: "Even if you chew the root of your tongue, you won't get half a word from me, Imperial Vulture!" ”

Rumble!

A strong wind then appeared in the middle of the two rows of swords and guns standing side by side, and appeared in front of the rest of the imperial soldiers along with the sight of the imperial guards escorting Duan Qing being knocked away, and they showed a little surprise on their faces, and then resumed their serious expressions, and at the same time focused their angry eyes on the adventurer who fell at the front in front of them. The calm footsteps then came to the back of the adventurer with the calm wind, and at the same time appeared a hand stretched out to the adventurer's back, and a sudden shout reverberated in front of Bernard who was about to arrest him: "...... I didn't expect it! Old guys! ”

“…… It seems that you not only lack respect for an imperial general. ”

The steely palm then appeared at the end of the swirling foot, stopping the toe that was kicking him out of Bernard's face: "And ......"

"There is still a lack of some assessment of the gap in their own strength."

The sound of creaking bones then appeared in the palm of the iron palm, and at the same time appeared Duan Qing's ankles that were grabbed in the middle of the iron palm, and his hands were still tied together, and then he screamed and danced his iron chain, and smashed towards Bernard's head. The invisible qi then resurfaced to the left and right of the imperial general, and the soldiers who were rushing up around erupted to both sides before they wanted to rush up again, and Duan Qing, whose arms were bounced open by the huge force of the shock, stretched forward involuntarily, and half-knelt in front of him with Bernard's pulled arms: "The last struggle is over." ”

"The weak."

Bang!

In the painful impact of the bridge of his nose, Bernard, who had been standing in place without moving his position, finally stretched out his other hand behind his back, and then smashed an ordinary iron fist straight on Duan Qing's face. It seemed that he had received a heavy blow that was completely different from what looked from the outside world, Duan Qing, who staggered to the ground, did not get up again for a long time, and the blood that splattered out also rose far away with the backward body, and finally spilled to the ground with the movement of several soldiers regrouping: "Adventurer who doesn't know the height of the sky!" ”

"See what you've done?"

"I ...... Ahem, I didn't do anything, the injuries on your body were all beaten by your boss, I want to trouble him...... Woo! ”

"Also, dare to quibble! Who told you to openly provoke the General? ”

“…… It looks like you've got your heart set up. ”

Bernard's dull voice echoed in Duan Qing's ears with a fist that penetrated into the flesh, and at the same time appeared as he approached the other party's slow footsteps: "Are you ready to die?" ”

“……”

"The Imperials have always been talkative."

It seemed that he was much more satisfied with the reaction of the dying adventurer who fell silent, and the imperial general with his hands behind his back reflected the tall back covered by the gorgeous military uniform in front of Duan Qing's eyes: "The one just now...... It's really your last chance. ”

"You buried that opportunity with your own hands." Turning his back, he whispered, gesturing to the front of the regrouping soldiers, "Now ......"

"Send him on his way."

The sound of promise then echoed over the entire central square, accompanied by the shouts of soldiers with weapons in their hands in unison, and Duan Qing, who was dragged up by the escorts, then passed Bernard in such a wave and staggered to the central statue in front of him. Countless aborigines who heard the sound and arrived hid in the distant gaze of the square, and Duan Qing, who was no longer struggling because he was seriously injured, was soon tied to the surface of one side of the sculpture pedestal, and then he let out two heavy coughs when he lowered his head, and spit out the blood foam in his mouth with difficulty: "You...... You won't succeed. ”

"Succeeded?"

As the words appeared, the figure belonging to the lieutenant of York appeared out of nowhere: "Are you mistaken, adventurer?" The Empire will never succeed......"

"Because we never play any tricks."

He walked in front of Duan Qing, and then shouted loudly around him: "Our victory was all won by us with fists and blood!" You're right! ”

“…… Hey. ”

In the voice of the surrounding soldiers who responded again, Duan Qing, who raised his head, looked at the adjutant's face with a strange gaze: "It's you?" Aren't you afraid that I'll reveal your identity now? ”

"If you have a kind, try it." The adjutant looked at Duan Qing with the same contempt: "Look at you, it's you who has the last laugh...... Or me? ”

“…… You didn't come to this place all of a sudden to show off your might in front of me, did you? ”

"Of course not, because I'm now in the vanguard of the killing of all the rebels." The adjutant slowly leaned down and stared at Duan Qing who was close at hand with demonic eyes: "So the Imperial General has given me a special right today, that is, ...... Kill you with your own hands. ”

"It's a pity, but I have to warn you...... I can't be killed. ”

"I know, I know...... Because you're a child of destiny, aren't you? ”

Amid the earth-shattering shouts that were still around him, the adjutant turned his hand and pulled out the long sword at his waist: "Don't forget that I am also a remnant of the Magic Empire, and I know not only a little about you fellows who ignore fate, but also a little bit about it...... You can deal with your special approach. ”

“…… Special approach? ”

"That's right, like this."

A faint aura began to converge with the long sword he raised, and it was plated on the surface of the ordinary-looking blade, which was so unobtrusive in such an atmosphere, but it was the one that Duan Qing was very familiar with now: "This is...... The breath of the void. ”

"That's right, the breath of the void."

Raising the sword above his head, Adjutant York's face became gloomy: "Thanks to your previous battle in Wind Flower Town, the Magic Empire now has a valuable base in the void, but rest assured, we will not send you this threat into that place at this time." ”

"We'll just send you to the other side of the void."

With the shouts of the soldiers reaching the highest point, the long sword suddenly slashed across Duan Qing's head, and the ruthless blade then passed through Duan Qing's entire body, slashing to the ground with not a drop of blood flowing out. The slight humming sound then echoed around the broken statue pedestal with the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps, as if the cheers and cheers of the surrounding soldiers were slightly suppressed, but Duan Qing, who didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, could no longer see what was happening in front of him at this time.

What he saw was an ethereal universe.

What is it talking about?

It was as if he had suddenly regained his will, as if his whole body was floating and wandering, Duan Qing suddenly opened his eyes, and the voice that had been echoing in his ears became clear as he broke free from his consciousness: "Start-"

[Accident detection began, and the interference rate of unexpected factors was - 57%]

[Reputation test begins.] 】

What is an accident detection? Interference rate 57%? I'm really sorry for you guys with such a high interference rate, and ...... What is that reputation test?

Many thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, and Duan Qing's body began to struggle with his constantly shaking eyes, but before he could find his answer in this dark ocean, the electronic reports that filled his ears interrupted his thoughts again.

“…… I see. ”

As if he understood something, Duan Qing, whose limbs were wide open, let out a slight sigh: "Didn't you just hit your face once temporarily, and you can use it to hold grudges until now...... Well? ”

An inexplicable warmth flashed in his heart, and Duan Qing, whose consciousness was still wandering in the endless darkness, involuntarily let out a loud shout: "You guys are enough, you still have to rush in in this case, aren't you-"

[Reviewer: Bernard, reputation 23%]

The relentless sound of electronic reporting interrupted Duan Qing's thoughts again, and at the same time, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and that big hand grabbed Duan Qing's clothes in the next moment, pulling him out of the cosmic void in front of him.

[The relationship between the two parties is in a special state. 】
