In the afternoon, when the bright sun shines on Etaninburg, the cold air has a long-lost warmth.

The rare warm winter sun makes people's mood better.

But this definitely does not include Wolft.

He already knew what was going on in the Chekawaan.

Explode!

An earth-shattering explosion!

In the same way, I also know what Congressman Etfen is going to do.

In this regard, Wolft did not say much.

The power of the gods, there is nothing that they are more familiar with and know than those members of the Silent Night Order.

It's just that......

Wolft couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he looked at the quiet afternoon in Etaninburgh, at the tired but smiling faces of the civilians.

"Do you really want to give up together?"

The member of the 'Silent Night Order', who represented the Southern Councillors, couldn't help but whisper to himself.

"Or else?"

Holleka asked rhetorically.

"yes, or else?"

Wolfett laughed wryly.

Behind the two, Stone, Bill and the other five were also silent.

After the events of Lunkar, the five were not punished in any way, on the contrary, they were all praised by Councillor Gelsack, and there was a substantial reward.

Status has been promoted in different ways.

and can lead over those who have been assembled before.

It made the five of them feel as if they were in a dream.

But soon, the dream turned into a nightmare.

Once again, they have to go through a difficult choice.

Fortunately, however, both Stone and Bill found themselves far less frightened and overwhelmed than they were the first time.

Human adaptability is really terrifying!

With this exclamation, Stone quickened his pace and became walking side by side with Wolft and Hollaika.

"How many people can be taken?"

Stone asked in a calm voice.

Immediately, Wolft's footsteps froze.

"Not much."

"Only the elite can be retained."

Wolft said in a dry voice.

"Understood."

Stone nodded.

Is there anything else you don't understand about this?

The words are quite clear.

Except for a few who were able to leave, the rest would be left behind.

Thereinto......

Naturally, including their families.

Even, they themselves will be left behind.

It is impossible for Stone to have no complaints about this.

Why was it not him and his family who were chosen, but someone else?

Self-pity will appear in the bottom of the heart, but it will not always appear.

Call!

He exhaled heavily.

Then, his eyes looked at Bill and the other four.

has a side-by-side combat experience of life and death, and the relationship between the five people has long been extraordinary.

Almost a look.

And they made up their minds.

It is impossible for people to rely on others all the time.

They're going to ...... Save oneself!

Hollaika has been paying attention to Stone and Bill, and after seeing such a gaze, he said to Wolft, who was in a trance: "Wolft, please continue to bring people to transport these compensations, I have something I want to talk to Stone and Bill." ”

"Okay."

Wolft didn't ask much.

He knew what Hollaika and Stone and the others were saying.

In the same way, he knows the results.

Quite possibly the worst kind.

No one would give up hope of life, would they?

So who wants to die?

I hope that after the disappointment, it is better not to give!

This damned, brutal reality!

Gritting his teeth, Wolft led the people and continued to walk towards the 'mist' camp of the Lower Seventh Ring.

Holleka watched the team go away before he turned to look at Stone and Bill, who looked guarded.

"Take it easy."

"You don't agree with Councilor Gersack's decision and choose another path, do you?"

Hollaika asked.

"Councillor Gersack is good."

"He forgave us."

"But, we also want to live, with our families - Lunkar is right, we live alone, just the walking dead, we are only ...... when we protect our families. Person. ”

Stone said as he sensed Hollyka's aura lock onto him, and without hesitation, he gripped the hilt of his sword.

He knew the name of the 'undead'.

He was not sure in the face of the 'undead'.

But, he needed a fight.

For the sake of his family.

The Bill Four is no exception.

The five of them dispersed almost instantly, forming an attacking formation.

The atmosphere froze.

Just as the tension was about to start, Hollaika smiled.

"Congratulations."

"Passed."

Hollaika clapped.

Bang bang bang.

The crisp applause made Stone and Bill stunned.

"Maybe you can hear about another plan from the Councillor."

Hollaika said with a smile.

"Another plan?"

Stone and Bill were stunned.

"Councillor Corypo mentioned it to you."

Hollaika prompted.

Mentioned?

Stone and Bill looked at each other.

Suddenly, Stone thought of something, but immediately, the member of the 'Silent Night Secret Order' couldn't help but shake his head.

"Impossible!"

"No, it won't!"

He denied it again and again.

With such words, the four Bill also thought of something, and immediately, the faces of the four changed.

Looking at the changing faces of the five people, Hollaika restrained his smile and said solemnly.

"We're all snake factions!"

……

Monte sorts through the news coming from all over the place.

The loose clothes are still the same, but the powder on his face has long been wiped off, and the habitual flattering smile has long been replaced by seriousness.

"Ahem, ahem."

A violent cough sounded, and the ministers who raised their heads immediately saw his majesty.

Overnight, the male lord of Etandin grew older and older, and even his body became trembling.

"Your Majesty."

Monte walked briskly over and helped Etandine VI.

The sixth waved his hand and refused the support of his close ministers, but it was such a small action that made the sixth king breathe rapidly, and then coughed again.

Monte began to pat Aitandine VI on the back.

It took more than ten seconds for the coughing sound to stop.

"Monte."

Aitandine VI spoke.

"Your Majesty, I'm here."

The minister whispered.

"Take it and go find Colin."

A box was handed to the minister.

When Jinchen saw this box, his eyes were red.

Because, this box was specially used by the royal family of Aitandine to put the edict.

"Your Majesty, it's not time yet, the Chekawan is an accident, and Your Highness still needs to ......"

"Monte!"

A low shout interrupted the minister.

Aitandine VI was like an old lion, dying, but still a vestige of majesty.

He glared at Monte.

Monte was terrified.

"A failure is a failure."

"I'm not going to give myself that many reasons."

"I won't be afraid to look at failure."

"Regrets?"

"Of course I have."

"But I don't have time, take it to Colin, and then assist Colin."

With that, Aitandine VI turned and walked towards his chair, and as he sat down in it, his eyes unconsciously looked at the reassembled model of the sailboat.

"Almost, almost."

Such murmurs echoed through the small chamber.

The close ministers who gradually went outward felt sour in their hearts.

As he reached the door, the servant suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty, I swear to you."

"The southern archipelago will eventually become an adjunct of Etandin."

"Your Highness will also become an admirable king."

Monte said word for word.

Aitandine VI waved his hand.

Squeak!

Bang!

The door to the small chamber was closed.

Monte turned and walked away.

The members of the royal guard guarding the door watched the minister's departure with a different gaze.

Then, when they looked at the small chamber, the guards couldn't help but look sad.

Their king is gone!

In the small conference hall, the superior evil spirit patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's good that the old marquis has been separated for the time being."

"Otherwise, you'll have to show your stuffing!"

"The end of the old king, the rise of the new king."

"It can't be too monotonous, there must be a legend!"

"Luckily, I'm well prepared!"

The superior demon spoke, and disappeared with a turn.

It's got to catch up with the next one.

……

"Two hundred and eighty pieces of real magic item equipment as compensation, forty pieces of rare level magic item equipment as information fees, and sixty pieces of 'evil residues' are all here, please count them."

Wolft respectfully handed a thick list to Qin, and then pointed to the three carriages that followed behind him.

The carriages were all two-horse, the carriages were wide and thick, and they were fully filled.

"Put it in the tent in the back."

Qin Ran didn't count.

There is no need.

He believed that as long as Atphine wasn't insane, he would never deceive him about it again.

What's more, the superior evil spirit has already counted it for him.

"Yes, Your Highness Colin."

After Wolft saluted again, he sent someone to put these precious items in the tent designated by Qin Ran.

The whole process is methodical.

Once everything was packed, Wolft left with the members of the Silent Night Order.

About half an hour after the men left, Holleka quietly arrived in the tent with Stone and Bill.

"Your Highness."

Hollaika bowed.

"Hmm."

Qin Ran nodded slightly.

It seems to be an ordinary action, but it makes Stone and Bill feel turbulent in their hearts.

It's true!

It turned out to be true!

Snake Pie!

Councillor Gelsack is really a snake faction!

No, it's not!

It was Coripo and Gersak who were all members of the snake faction.

By this time, Stone and Bill had stopped investigating whether Corypo and Kirsak were members of the Serpent Sect in the first place, or whether they later betrayed the 'Silent Night Secret Order' and became members of the Serpent Sect.

They are now curious to know what the 'other' plan is.

Whew, whew!

The five of them adjusted their breathing and looked at Qin Ran together.

"Witchers don't give up on friends and family."

"We are not of the light, we are not of the darkness."

"We have no glory of praise, we have no hymns."

"We only have pride in our hearts!"

As he spoke, Qin Ran tapped the heart on his left side of his chest.

His words didn't stop.

He stared at the five in front of him.

He said it word by word.

"And my pride ......"

"From our friends and family."

The voice is not high-pitched, and there is no incitement to anything, everything is a flat and straightforward description, but because of this, it will inspire Stone and Bill more and more.

Because, what Qin Ran said was true.

That's what a real witcher looks like.

Witchers don't give up on friends and family.

This is the consensus of all.

And under this consensus, in the hint left by the superior evil spirit, Stone and Bill stood straight, and then, the five of them knelt on one knee at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Your Highness." ”

"I can't promise you anything."

"I can't promise you anything."

"I can only explain to you—"

"In wartime, I will take the lead in the charge!"

Qin Ran's voice was still flat.

But this kind of blandness is what Stone, Bill and others need at this time.

"I will follow in your footsteps and charge!"

"No remorse!"

"Long live the snake pie!"

Hollaika, who had already thoroughly regarded herself as a member of the Snake Sect, could no longer bear it at this time.

He shouted!

It's already this time.

There are some things that don't need to be hidden.

The Snake Sect has risen.

But the same appointment with an unprecedented enemy.

So, as a member of the Serpent Sect.

He wants to fight for a glimmer of life for future generations.

It was the only thing he could do as a member of the Serpent Sect.

"We will follow in your footsteps and charge!"

"No remorse!"

"Long live the snake pie!"

Stone and Bill shouted in the same way.

"Has the time come for such a crisis?"

Edson lifted the tent curtain and walked in.

"Your Excellency Edson."

Holleka, Stone, and Bill saluted at the same time.

Demon hunters have due respect for the elderly.

"Call Uncle."

"I'm old enough to be your uncle."

The old witcher said this, a smile on his lips, he hadn't felt the reverence of his juniors in a long time.

Such a feeling......

It's really good!

So, this feeling should be left for a long time.

With the thoughts in his heart, the old demon hunter's gaze looked at Qin Ran.

"It's not time for you to charge."

"If you want to come, we will come first."

The old witcher said.

Qin Ran was silent and did not speak.

However, the attitude is obvious.

Similarly, Hollaika and the other six didn't think that such a task should be given to the old witcher alone.

"Uncle Edson, you're ...... alone"

"Alone?"

"Wolves, never alone!"

"You little ones, come with me!"

As he spoke, the old witcher turned and walked out.

Left the tent.

Left the camp.

Leaving the city gates.

He stood outside the gates of Aitandine.

He stared at the horizon in the distance.

He raised his head and roared.

The roar was like a wolf's howl.

The voice is desolate and long.

The next moment-

"Ahh

The same wolf howl appeared.

Some fine black dots appeared on the horizon.

They wore black cloaks, different shapes and weapons, but all of them were proud and powerful.

Pointing at those figures, the old witcher said loudly.

"Death to a lone wolf!"

"The wolves live!"
