Chapter 23: The Promise (100 Collections Plus)

"Add, are you alright?"

A sword slashed out the fireball, and Uncle Town turned to look at Add, worried.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”

In a panic, Eddie didn't react yet, and he was at a loss.

"Very well, now you leave immediately and follow everyone to a safe place!"

Seeing that Add is okay, Mayor Mare refocuses on the dangerous species known as the Red Devil by the townspeople.

"Damn!"

Seeing that most of the town had been reduced to a paradise of flames, the mayor of the town was blushing and angry, and he was about to rush forward with his giant sword to fight the huge red beast shadow to the death.

"Wait, Uncle Town, can you take me with you?"

"Listen, Add, these are our lords' business, you are the future of Glia, and you will never be allowed to go to war until we die!"

"Now, I command you, leave at once."

Eddie had never seen Uncle Town as serious as he was today.

Perhaps because of the fear of facing the Red Devils, or perhaps because of the mayor's request, Add eventually staggered away.

Add didn't know how he had left, and his mind was in a trance.

Seeing Add's back in the distance, Uncle Town smiled silently, and then turned his head to look at the huge beast figure that was raging everywhere, and the smile on his face immediately turned into a hideous face!

"Damn beast, dare to attack Lao Tzu's town, are you ready to die!" His eyes are furious, like a lion roaring!

He leapt into the sky, the firelight rolling, and the giant sword made an indomitable arc, falling towards the huge dark red beast shadow!

"Kill! Kill! Kill ......"

The town's self-defense forces, mercenaries, and adventurers, inspired by the mayor, launched a desperate charge!

For the sake of their homeland, they have nothing to fear!

Add didn't know how far he had run, or how long he had been running, when he turned his head to look at the huge dark red shadow.

At that moment, he saw the most brilliant life, and he also saw the hole in the gates of hell open, and a blinding light shot out of the earth, as if tons of lava were surging out of the ground, and the light swirled around it like steam, and in the light was the huge dark red beast!

Tiny figures, like moths to a flame, rushed towards the huge lava body, and then burned into ashes in the air!

For some reason, Eddie was already in tears, although it was far away, although he couldn't see the faces of those who were as thin as ants in front of the giant beast, but Eddie knew that every flame that burned out meant the death of a person he knew.

"Ah!!h

Eddie fell to his knees, weeping in pain, as if he had been cut off by a knife.

"Why? Why? It's not easy to meet a home, and everyone is so kind, why did this happen? Why! ”

Eddie's eyes blurred with tears at the sight of the charred ruins, and no matter what, he was only a ten-year-old.

However, no one answered Eddie's question, and there was a dead silence except for the occasional sound of crackling and burning fire.

Add clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, blood dripping from between his fingers.

Add didn't know how long he had been on his knees, maybe an hour, maybe two hours.

Suddenly, he got up like crazy, and despite the blood under his feet from the sharp stones, he rushed in the direction of the battlefield......

What is there to fear from dying? What is really terrible is to live in a lifetime of regret in the future, and regret is not pleasant, and now Eddie feels it.

"Uncle Town!"

"Brother William!"

"Daddy John!"

“...... Are you all there? Just answer me! ”

Add stood blankly on the charred earth, looking lonely, as if everything around him, whether trees or stones, had been burned to the ground.

This is where the mayor leads the elite to fight the Red Devil, but now that the Red Devil is gone, the mayor is gone, and the mayor is missing even the elites in the town.

I felt a bad feeling in my heart, as if something was going to be lost forever.

"Yes.... Mugwort.... Dee? ”

A weak voice sounded, as if it was about to die in the next moment.

Eddie was overjoyed, and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that the town uncle was half buried in the soil, and only half of his body was exposed.

Add ran over excitedly, but as soon as he got closer, he felt like he had been splashed with cold water in the middle of winter.

Half of Uncle Town's face and half of his body are carbonized, and he looks hideous and terrifying, but he is actually smiling at Eddie, smiling and laughing, the corners of his carbonized mouth cracked, and the cracks extended towards the roots of his ears.

"Uncle, hold on, doctor..... The doctor ...... It's coming. ”

Add tried to suppress her grief, but as soon as she opened her mouth, tears began to flow.

"Hahaha, Add, don't be sad for me, I'm just going to get a long night's sleep...... Gloya will be handed over to you awake ones. ”

"Woo..... I know, I know. ”

"Really, you can't join the Self-Defense Forces if you cry so much."

Although he knew that he might die in the next moment, Uncle Town was very calm.

"Well, I only promised you this morning, and when you grow up, I will personally put on the badge of the Self-Defense Forces for you, but I didn't expect to break my promise before the day came."

"No, no, you promised me personally, you can't go back on your word as the mayor of the town, so you must get better!"

"Do..... I'm sorry I can't do it...... Eddie. Then the mayor took a badge from his bosom and handed it to him:

"Add, this is the Self-Defense Force badge I created for you, and the town may be downgraded to a village after I die, so that thing is not worth much, so I'd better leave it for you as a souvenir."

"I know, I know, uncle, please don't talk, I'll listen to you everything."

Seeing that the carbonized half of Mayor Mare's face was cracked more and more, as if it was about to break in the next moment, Eddie's tears could not be stopped any longer.

"Now, Add, don't cry......"

Uncle Zhen struggled to move the giant sword beside him with his only remaining right hand, and looked at the old man with a sad look in his eyes.

Eddie hurriedly picked up the heavy giant sword and wanted to put it in the mayor's hand, but the mayor waved his hand to stop Eddie, pointed to the giant sword, and said loudly with the last of his strength:

"Add, make a pact! Live with it, and one day your fame will spread throughout the world! ”

"I see! I know! I know! ”

The sound of crying echoed through the night sky, and the morning star in the sky was silently watching, and Eddie began to cry heartbreakingly, because at that moment, the town uncle, who had been like his own son in the past, stopped breathing......
