"You're going with me?" Durand was obviously stunned for a long time before shaking his head and laughing, "It turns out that cyan angry Manus would also make such an outrageous joke?" ”

Manus was not annoyed, still calm and serious: "If I guess correctly, you plan to go to the ancient shelter of the Zagul Mountains, and I will go with you." But as a condition, after going to the Ancient Shelter, how about you and I go to a few places? ”

Durand frowned at Manus, wondering what the Sendro first man was up to.

But since he was intercepted here by the other party, it was impossible to leave as originally planned, so Durand simply let go of his mind and grinned: "It's okay." ”

The two of them walked into the Mother Domain Gate of Mao Plaza one after the other, and after a few moments, they had already passed through the GuΓ² teleportation passage and walked out of the sub-domain gate in the Ancient Shelter.

A night breeze with the characteristic smell of the Zagul Mountains blew by, and Durand couldn't help but lift his spirits, as if he was back to the days of fighting dwarves day and night in the mountains.

Now that I think about it, it was the easiest time since returning to Sendlow.

There were a large number of battle mages guarding the domain gate, but no one noticed the arrival of Manus and Duland. Manus didn't seem to have done anything, but it seemed to have completely eliminated the traces of his and Duland's existence, and for the defenders of the ancient asylum, the two of them waited for nothing.

Durand silently flew into the sky with Manus, looking down at the small but unusually tight fortress beneath his feet.

Today, the ancient shelter has been basically completed, and after the "Domain Gate" array, the two major formations of "Forbidden Sky" and "Sealing God" have also been inscribed one after another, which means that this strategic-level fortress has taken shape.

Durand didn't see Keynes in the fortress, nor did he see Tucson and Guoguo.

"Have you already entered the Ancient Path......" Durand muttered in a low voice.

"yes. Toussaint and Gogo led their team to the other main planes to enlist reinforcements. Manus's gaze fell on the entrance of the Ancient Road in the fortress, and said lightly, "Keynes has also set off into the Ancient Road to find Thoreau, which means that he will be absent from the meeting of the gods in three days." This is bad news for you. It means that three days later, there will be one less person on your side at the Shenyuan meeting. ”

"I didn't plan to wait until three days." Durand insisted, "The Divine Council is your business, and whatever decisions you make, it's none of my business." ”

Manus smiled blandly, not dwelling on the subject. Instead, he said, "Let's go to the next stop." ”

After the ancient shelter, there is a mountain of flames like a prison.

This is the city of the fire god Nington, and it is also one of the most important strategic fortresses in Sendelo, and the scale of the Flame Mountain is not as large as the fortress of Yongzhan, but it is far better than the ancient protection. And here, Durand truly appreciated the cruelty of the offensive and defensive battles of the fortress.

Stand above the flaming mountains like a prison. As far as the eye can see, there is fire everywhere in all directions! With a giant mountain as the center, countless battle mages and black dwarves fought to the death, in a sense, the fortress has broken through the outermost defense line, and a large number of dwarves have poured into the fortress to engage in fierce street battles with the defenders.

Durand saw Nyington's true figure. He wandered from place to place on the battlefield, always appearing in the fiercest and most dangerous places of battle. But even so, they could only barely withstand the attack of the dwarves. It's a fight everywhere! Chaos everywhere! At every moment, Durand could see battlemages who had died in battle, from sturdy young men to old men who could barely walk, to children who had not yet officially awakened to become battlemages.

Almost subconsciously, Durand was about to take out the judgment knife as soon as he flipped his hand, but was stopped by a powerful hand.

Manus glanced at Durand and said calmly, "Let's go to the next stop." ”

Pass through the domain door and the teleportation passage again. Duland's footsteps were somehow much heavier, and he silently walked into the gate and out of the gate, this time he smelled the sea.

"Mirage - It's also one of Sendlow's largest strategic fortresses, on the same level as Flame Mountain." Manus gave a brief introduction, and added. "This is the city of Seldon, the god of water."

The Mirage Sea City was devastated, but in general the situation was better than that of the Flame Mountain, at least there was no fighting here for the time being. It's a magical fortress because it can move and move through the vast sea.

The sea is deep blue, but the sea water within tens of kilometers around this mobile fortress is red.

That's the color of blood.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The fortress was built on an ancient sea beast called the Mirage, which was able to move through the sea to escape the Black Dwarves. But Mirage had already suffered heavy injuries that were difficult to repair in successive battles. As you can see, it's been bleeding and I can't think of a way. ”

Although Manus did not say it explicitly, Durand knew that when the mirage could not continue to carry the fortress, it would be the day when the mirage city fell completely.

"It'...... How long will it last? Duland's voice was indescribably dry.

"I don't know."

Durand stared at the huge area of crimson water below, and under the "God's Perspective", the range of his blood-colored color was still slowly but surely expanding. The blood color was neutralized by the seawater, but it was not very bright and red, but Durand felt an indescribable dazzling.

Durand suddenly felt desolate, and one word came to his mind: lingering.

Manus always stood quietly beside Duland, he didn't say much, just put the harsh reality in front of Duland.

Durand finally forced himself to withdraw his gaze, closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then reopened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Let's go to the next stop." ”

Manus shook his head.

Durand turned to look at Manus and said, "I'm not that vulnerable, take me to the next stop." There should be ten of Sendlow's Strategic Fortresses, including Ancient Shelters, and I want to see them, all of them. I want to see what the rest of the fortresses look like now. ”

Manus still shook his head: "Sorry, no. ”

"No more ......?"

Durand looked stunned, and soon, a look of disbelief gradually appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and asked. "You mean, all the remaining strategic fortresses have been ...... Fallen?! ”

"Yes." Manus nodded, and there was a hint of solemnity and coldness in his calm voiceβ€”

"At the beginning of the war, Thoreau's city of the Seven Colors was attacked first, and fell within half a day. The lord of the city, Thoreau, is missing. Sendlow was also completely locked down, cut off from the outside world. That was the beginning of this war. ”

"On the seventh day of the war, Milo, the goddess of radiance, was killed, and the second strategic fortress 'Capital of the Rising Sun' fell."

"Just one day later, due to the lack of god-level powerhouses to defend it, the third strategic fortress 'Dawn and Dusk Tallinn' fell. That's Nightwing's city. ”

"A month later. Keynes was badly wounded and defeated, and the fourth strategic fortress, the 'Oasis of the Earth', fell. ”

"Three months later, the Aeolian was defeated, and the fifth strategic fortress, the Sky Floating Bunker, fell."

"Half a year later, more than ninety percent of the land of the entire plane has been reduced to a battlefield, and it is no longer under our control. Become an enemy war zone. ”

"As for the 'Thor Fortress' that I am responsible for guarding, I also had to give up when I decided to start the battle of the Zagul Mountains, otherwise I would not be able to divide the strength to seize the Ancient Road. I was the last person to withdraw from the Fortress of Thor, and the sub-domain gate that had been erected in the fortress for hundreds of millions of years was destroyed by my own hands. ”

"At this point, the sixth strategic fortress ...... Declare the fall. ”

Manus said one by one. His demeanor was calm and his tone was calm, but Durand heard a certain suffocating heaviness from the calm: "There are a total of ten strategic fortresses, and only four are still in our hands." The Flame Mountain may fall at any time, and the Mirage Sea City will fall sooner or later. And in the vast land of Sendlo, a large number of scattered battle mages are still uncertain, they have no resources, no supplies, and no fortress to rely on. We can only continue to lose blood in the vast land that we once made ourselves proud. We...... There's simply no room left to bring those battle mages together. Duland, are you going to leave, just to join those people? Go deep into the enemy's war zone, and then continue to lose blood until the moment of death? That's how you chose to fight for Sendlow? ”

Durand opened his mouth. But there was nothing to say.

When he returned to the Wing Battle Fort again, Durand felt as if he was pressing an impossibly heavy boulder on his chest, almost suffocating it.

"I don't understand, I ...... I don't understand. That's not how it shouldn't be. It doesn't make sense that it would be this way. For the first time, there was a confused look in Duland's eyes, and he looked at Manus and asked in pain, "What did I do wrong?" No, no, it should be said...... What do I have to do to do the right thing? ”

Manus looked at Duland's pale face, and he could feel Duland's distress and despair at the moment.

I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do.

I don't know if I did well in the past, I don't know if I'm doing it right now, and I don't know what I'm going to do in the future.

There is no way to judge, and there is no choice.

-- These are the cruelty of war, and they are also the inevitability of war.

"Your fault is not hidden."

Manus stared at Durand and said, "In a non-godly body, you hold the lifeblood of Sendlow - you let everyone know about it, but you didn't think that others would want you to control Sendlow's future." ”

"You say...... Am I wrong for not knowing how to hide?! ”

Durand's whole body trembled, gritted his teeth and roared: "If I really hide myself, the battle of the Zagul Mountains, can we win?" If I hide myself, the entrance control of the Ancient Path, can we take it? If I hide, my daughter, can I live?! There are so many people who are already dead, about to die, or destined to die in front of me, how do you ask me to hide in this situation?! Among the options in front of me...... There's no such thing as a hide!! ”

Durand roared angrily, gasping for breath, and said resolutely: "Even if time can be turned back and I can return to the moment when I first returned to Sendelo, I, Duland, still choose no!" Hide! Hide! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Then there is no way. Manus sighed softly, "There are some things that someone has to stand up to do, either you do it or I do it." ”

Durand laughed miserably: "You finally decided to take my knife?" ”

"After learning about Sendlow's current situation, don't you still have this kind of awareness?" Manus said quietly, "I thought you would offer it. ”

At this moment, the smile on Duland's face was indescribably weird: "To be honest, every cell in my body is telling me right now: hand over the knife." For the sake of Sendelo, hand it over. But I don't know why, I just can't do it! It's wrong, at least for me. It's not a question of fairness or unfairness, it's wrong! I...... I won't choose to leave again, I'll stay, but I will never hand over my knife on my own initiative. Never! If you want a knife, get it yourself in three days! ”

By the end, Duland's face and tone had regained calm.

He looked at Manus calmly.

This time Manus was silent for a long, long time, and finally the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and finally a satisfied smile appeared.

Durand was stunned for a moment: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Hehe, nothing." Manus seemed to smile happily, "I just didn't expect that there would really be such a stubborn and funny little guy as you." ”

The moody strongman, who seemed to be happy from the bottom of his heart, was so happy that he even laughed out loud on a rare note: "Listen, Duland!" You haven't done anything wrong, and you don't need to learn to hide, just keep the edge you are now! I thought, I'll help you. ”

"What do you mean? Help me with what? ”

"Help you hide."
