Chapter 54: Reason

At the end of life, all the fragments of life will quickly flash in their minds, and it is said that in order to find a way to survive in the past experience, this is the marquee, so what do people think of when they decide to commit suicide.

Charles thought of the happy time when he was a child laughing and playing in the fields, it was his most carefree time, and then the long war broke out, and the Marston people were the first to realize that they were enemies of the world, and Charles felt that joining the army was an honorable thing, so he resolutely joined the army.

From recruits to veterans, Charles saw many fresh lives left, and the blood in his chest at first gradually calmed down after seeing the cruelty of the battlefield, and he realized that the soldiers on the other side were just like himself, young people with dreams.

Later, Arthur approached him and persuaded him on the simple ground, "Do you want this war to end sooner?"

An earlier end meant fewer deaths, and Hill knew very well that since sacrifices had become inevitable, let these sacrifices stop as soon as possible, and make the deaths of those who had already died, as well as the enemies, meaningful.

Now it was his turn to sacrifice himself.

The magic that wants to drain this space is very simple, for Xudra, the magic of the four elements can be manipulated at will, and the five heads that Charles can control can also control spewed deadly attacks from their mouths, crushing the four heads trapped on the ground one by one.

Because of Charr's attack, the magic in this sealed space was quickly exhausted, and the four heads struggled and roared, turning to ashes, and the wound did not show the terrible recovery phenomenon.

Arthur looked at all this, and his heart was not happy, the final victory of the witcher was given to him by the monster, this kind of thing doesn't make sense.

"Goodbye, Captain. The main head of Xudra said, and then resolutely bit off his last four necks, although the main head is still there, but after a long time of excessive blood loss, Xudra has long been unable to support such a huge body, and Charles, who has exhausted his last strength, is paralyzed on the ground.

Is this the end of it?

Randy nodded, and then said to Zhou Lie, "The problem has been solved, can His Highness go back with me now?"

"No, it's not over yet. Layla on the side interjected, "This sealing array can't be removed until Xudra really dies. Layla looked at Arthur on the side, and the meaning was self-evident.

The final blow is still to be given by Arthur.

Finally, the main head in the center lies on the ground, revealing the soft weakness of the lower neck, signaling that Arthur can make a move.

For some reason, at this last moment, Zhou Lie was a little unbearable in his heart.

Arthur calmly raised his scythe, blood splattered, and the last of Xudra's head was cut off, leaving the body lifeless.

However, in order to ensure that the monster was killed and to avoid the possibility of resurrection after the seal circle was revoked, the soldiers set fire to the corpse.

When he returned to the town, it was already evening, and because of Randy's meeting with Vivien, Zhou Lie decided to drop by this army on his way back to Babylon.

"Then Arthur and I will go back to Babylon with you first, and some people will be left here to deal with the aftermath. Vivien readily agreed after hearing Randy's request.

In the inconspicuous corner of the tavern, Zhou Lie was having dinner with Su Wen and Su Wu, there were adventurers playing folk instruments in the tavern, and even the people around him were singing together, this cheerful atmosphere Zhou Lie appreciated very much, but he couldn't fit in at all, even after so many years, it was difficult for him to understand the reason why these Westerners could be so cheerful anytime and anywhere.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared at the table, Arthur at this moment did not carry the terrible scythe, but was wearing a simple civilian robe, but the moment he appeared in the tavern, it still attracted the attention of many people, and then people entered the joyful atmosphere again.

"May I sit here?" asked Arthur.

Zhou Lie nodded and made a gesture of please.

"Thank you for today. Arthur poured himself a glass of wine and saluted Zhou Lie.

"It's just a brain fever for a while. Zhou Lie raised his glass in response.

"It is said that you Oriental people are introverted and modest, but now you know that it is true when you see it. Arthur smiled, "But no matter what, thank you, are you sure you don't need me to talk to Vivien?

However, this is true, Zhou Lie shrugged speechlessly, then shook his head and said, "No, everyone has their own secrets, you didn't say it at the time, I thank you very much, don't tell others about this matter again." ”

"I respect your ideas. ”

The two clinked glasses again, then fell silent, both quietly eating the food in front of them.

After a long time, after dinner, Zhou Lie and Arthur didn't have the idea of leaving the table, the two looked at each other the same, and finally Zhou Lie asked first, "Although listening to your conversation, I almost guessed why you became like that, monsters, but I'm still curious, can you explain to me?"

Arthur nodded and said, "You helped me, I told you that this is the right thing, just like the little blue-haired girl said, the changes in our bodies are the product of magic, by the way, I don't know if you know about the Holy Blessed Army?"

Zhou Lie nodded, "That was the invincible army of the Kingdom of Portia, and it was defeated by Marston's army in the end. ”

Arthur showed a wry smile and said, "During the war, the Holy Blessed Army has become a great obstacle to us, those blessed warriors and blessed armor have extremely high combat power, the sword does not advance, and it is light and fast, our Marston troops have encountered such a powerful army for the first time, if it is not for the fact that this army is only one, we can always rely on the way of containing and harassing, so that it is tired of running around, maybe the situation of the war at that time will be turned upside down because of this powerful army." ”

"And in order to capture the capital of Portia, this army has made us have to cross the obstacles, and at this time, a magician from Tionlis said that he can help us defeat this army by training the beast gods, that is, us. ”

"Tionlis's books record many extinct powerful magical beasts, Xudra, griffin, Pegasus, Flying Tiger, any of these legendary powerful magical beasts are the existence that can destroy the country, and there are very few people who can accept this transformation, so in the end, our beast god army is only forty-three, but that is, we are forty-three, and the victory of the empire is laid. ”

"At first, we thought that we had gained great strength, we were the strong shields and spears of our comrades behind us, and at the same time we were the trump cards against those Holy Blessed Army, and sure enough, in the face of the power of these powerful demonic beasts, the Holy Blessed Army was defeated and retreated, and in the end, it was also we who first landed on the city and occupied Oslin, the reason why Oslin recovered so quickly was also the reason why we quickly occupied it and did not cause more damage. ”

"However, after that, as you can see today, the ancient demonic beasts sleeping in our bodies are waking up one by one, before that, I have killed five former comrades, at that time they were all inhuman, and they could not change back into human form, seeing their atrocities, I don't know when I will also lose my mind like them, but I am the captain of this unit, I persuaded them to join this army in the first place, so in the end, it should be me to end all this. ”

Arthur recounted all this in a flat tone, and Zhou Lie nodded, almost as he guessed.

But turning people into monsters, this summary method Zhou Lie really can't agree with, but such a major thing, why haven't I heard of it in Oslin at all, since these monsters broke the city, after all, those Portia people will spread some related rumors in private.

As if to guess Zhou Lie's doubts, Arthur continued, "Even the emperor and the prime minister know very well that this practice is inhumane and just, originally we used the banner of purging the church, but in the end we also asked the magician for help, which is no different from a typewriter face, so this matter was strictly sealed, and the people who emigrated from Oslin were placed in a new town, forbidding them to spread the news of the time of the city break, and at the same time carrying out news control in Oslin to suppress the locals. ”

I see, this is the real reason why the Portians will be discriminated against and suppressed, all for the sake of controlling the news, as long as people have a preconceived idea that the Portians are fanatical believers, because they hate the Marstonians, then the truth they say will also be understood as a smear against Marston, and when everyone who knows the truth is gradually dying, the secret will be hidden.

"It's true, hard to put into words. Zhou Lie shook his head again, not knowing what to say.

"There is no need to be sad about what happened to us, we all volunteered to embark on this path for the sake of our country. ”

"Among them, there are many people who want to continue to live, isn't that really good?" Zhou Lie said, "That Charles, I think he is a good person. ”

Arthur was silent, in fact, today they can be said to have been rescued by Charles, if they forced Charles out at the beginning, the two could talk like they did later, and it would be better to have a better ending.

"Charles is an honest and serious young man, he often helps others in the barracks, he treats recruits very kindly, and will patiently teach them how to survive on the battlefield, he should have a good end, which is why I came to you this time. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Lie raised his eyebrows, he knew that the other party was not as simple as coming to him for a drink and chat.

"I want you to spread the word about us to the East. ”

"Why is that?"

"In Marston, the past is taboo and cannot be mentioned, but it is different with you, and I hope that this history will be passed on as it is, and that future generations will not repeat the mistakes of the past. Arthur said with a solemn face.

Zhou Lie smiled, "We have a saying there, using history as a mirror, you can know the law of the rise and fall of dynasties, your idea is very good, this can also warn our country, don't do similar stupid things, I promise you." ”

The glasses of the two men touched again.
