Louis XIV stood at the head of the city, looking at the black sky outside the city.

He'd been in this position for several magic hours.

He didn't want to move.

Because it had been many years, he had not felt this feeling of the world under his feet.

He was supposed to be glorious, and he was supposed to be in the heart of the island, in the royal city called Presidium.

All his subjects were to obey him, worship him, honor him, and his name would be sung for many years to come.

But the war more than 10 years ago ruined everything.

Before he could ascend to that high throne, he was dragged down.

His old father, the old king who had never done anything angry in his life, and who adhered to the most old-fashioned dogma, stepped into the coffin with one foot.

But he was forced to go to the battlefield, and finally died under the gates of Presidium.

Louis XIV will never forget the day the city was broken.

Before his father went to war, he summoned him in the dark palace and whispered to him: "Andrew, my son, I am going to war, I may never return......"

"Father......" said young Andrei loudly, "I am willing to go on a campaign for you, please ......"

"Andrey, you listen to me." The old father interrupted his son's words, he coughed, his body was really in his last years, "I'm old, I don't have long to live, but Preshidian, there is still a long way to go, this is a ship that has been sailing for a long time, it is now going to change its captain, and you are the latest captain, you can't die, I can die." ”

He finished saying this. Slowly stood up from the throne, and began to walk out with the long sword that was longer than his life, and he didn't know how many years he had been living.

He's leaving, embracing his fate.

"Father's !!" Andrei was excited to get up.

But the old king pressed his shoulder with a sword, and his aging body stood at the door where the setting sun leaked in, and said in a very low voice: "Andrei, you have to remember. No matter what, you have to live, you are the youngest descendant of the Presidian family......"

"Andrey, don't die." At the last sentence, he used the tone of an incomparably gentle, true father.

It was the first time, and the last time.

Andrey, don't die.

Louis XIV looked at the dark sky and suddenly laughed.

Andre. It means bravery.

"Pass my orders." He suddenly said loudly, "At midnight tonight, the whole army will attack the inner city, and those who retreat will die!! ”

He gripped the sword at his waist with great force, the old one that had added his father's life to it.

I'm Louie. Andre. Presidium, the most descendant of the Presidian family, from today. Let the glory of the Tree of the World Realm be sprinkled again in every corner of Ionia.

Presidium, victory.

————————————

Ruins after a long war.

The post-war work has been carried out almost as well.

In Kalmar. Under the organization of Balzac and Irelia, the remnants of the surviving army were gathered.

Except for more than 100 people who were seriously wounded and could not be treated, they collected less than 2,000 Ionian remnants, and Bilgewater was in a slightly better situation, with about 4,000 surviving, a total of less than 6,000.

But these six thousand. Everyone was also injured, and more than half of them were seriously injured.

In such an urgent situation today, there are no more than 3,000 people who can participate in the battle, which has to be said to be a heavy blow to Karma.

"Karma-sama......" Irelia frowned as she looked at the devastated battlefield. Anxious to say something.

"Ellie, you don't have to apologize or comfort me." Karma shook her head, "I can hold on, I've been in a much worse situation, nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong......"

Her voice sounded so tired, but Karma was Karma, and she was always thinking about others and comforting them.

"Also, I'm sorry, I just wanted to kill him."

"Your Excellency......" Irelia was a little speechless.

"Alright, come with me to see Kenan and Akali, I hope they're okay." Karma struck a hard laugh and began to walk towards the ruins.

Before the battle began, the wounded Kenan and Akali were housed in makeshift tents.

After the war, the situation was extremely chaotic, and in the chaos of the war, no one had the ability to take care of them.

I really don't know what happened to them......

Lift the dust-covered curtains.

The makeshift tent was filled with murky air.

Luckily, Akali and Kenan were still there, breathing steadily.

Didn't die.

"Are you all right?" Karma came up to the two of them and sat down.

Akali and Kenan were both awake, weak, but sane.

"Lost?" Kennan grinned, reluctantly, but still smiled.

He had always been a mature terrible child, and he had gone through all the terrible waves of the previous war.

He knew that even if he didn't lose, he would still win.

"Win." Karma shook her head and smiled softly, like a mother.

"Your Excellency......" Akali said suddenly, "Do you feel ......?"

"Akali." Kenan immediately interrupted her, shaking his head and motioning for her not to continue.

"Kennan, good boy." Karma touched his head, but also shook his head, "I know what you want to say, I know what you want to say, I know what I know, I already know ......"

She pursed her lips as she said this, and didn't continue.

She didn't look back, and Irelia was standing behind her.

Everyone was silent.

The atmosphere became quirky and dreary.

"He ......" There was a pause for a moment, and Irelia couldn't help but say, "I won't do it." ”

She didn't know if it was justified.

But there is no evidence to prove that all this, such a brutal victory, and the situation they are in now, is caused by that man, that blind man.

He......

"Will you admit it?" Li Qing said suddenly.

He finally stayed, and he was left behind by the things he couldn't let go.

"Admit what?" Chen Senran sat there cross-legged, closed his eyes, smiling, and looked like a hermit.

"Admit that you laid everything out and pushed everything." Li Qing nodded and sighed, "I have to say, I really admire you, you are better than me." ”

"I don't understand what the master said." Chen Senran shook his head, as if he really didn't understand.

"It's a good thing if you don't understand, there are some things that you don't have to say in the first place, and it's better never to say them at all." Li Qing still nodded, "Otherwise, I'm afraid that as soon as I say it, I will ......."

"It's not good."

"Promise me one thing."

"You say."

"You have to take care of this world."

"As much as possible." (To be continued......)

PS: Over and over again, I don't know when I can really calm down.
