Chapter 284: The Aftermath of the War (I)
- Day and night alternate, the light of dawn crosses the high mountains, and obliquely plunges into the tranquility of the river.
The tall black horse was silent, standing like a statue on a square stretch of scorched earth. The cracked black piccolo landed beside the horse's hooves, and it glanced at it lightly, then leaned down and slowly licked the coldness of the river.
At dawn, looking along the outer bank of the Wujiang River, the flat land for thousands of meters was full of huge craters and ruins. The once ferocious pure dragon fire burned through the thirty-meter-deep soil formation, leaving the ground covered in scarred ground.
Qianjiangling has been peaceful when dawn comes, but it can breathe even if it can't speak, and it also feels pain in the wind and water.
Let the light of dawn walk all the way through the wilderness, and the burning pain has not been relieved. Even in the scorched earth, there were fragments of broken lightsabers strewn through, and they were all remnants that had not had time to disappear after the rain of swords.
As a result, countless sword skeletons greeted the dawn, flashing with brilliant golden light in the pain, which was dazzling beauty.
And Miyamoto Musashi stood in this dazzling light, and finally relaxed his tight body and mind. Scattered all the weapons of the demon warrior, and calmly fell down with blood all over his body.
The shadow of the fallen ground swept from the right side, and it shook Han Xin's eyes, which had only opened slightly. When the light of dawn fell on his forehead, he also woke up from a semi-comatose with sword wounds.
But Bian Que, who had been treating him, looked back at him, wordlessly looking at the sky at the end of the night, and warm tears were condensed in his cold eyes.
As for the two grays who had been terrified all night, they had already raised their fluffy heads and shouted excitedly in the bright sky.
That light of dawn was the final revelation to them, and while it was hard to believe, it was really all over.
On the flat ground 1,400 meters away, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan in the air had already fallen safely. When lying down in the void, Zhang Liang felt that the breath of his whole body could be exhaled, and the whole person was floating in the air by a faint magic blue, as natural as a breeze.
And Hua Mulan stood firmly on the ground, even though she was also tired, she did not fall down easily, but relied on the strength of her wrist to gently shake the blade of the sword, and took the initiative to relieve the awakening of her sword dancer form. Then she just stood there, breathing evenly as she adjusted her body load after the powerful battle.
At the end of the night, the sun gradually loomed into silhouette, and the dawn of dawn fell on the two of them, illuminating all the beliefs that had been desperate.
At this time, in the golden-red ruins on the ground in front of them, the huge dragon head that was nearly 100 meters huge had also begun to collapse silently. Like the thousand-meter-old giant that had been destroyed after landing on the ground, the only remaining skull had dimmed all its golden-red luster, and the essence of the entire element slowly changed to a precipitated dead black, falling and disintegrating piece by piece, falling into the deep earth, slowly melting away.
Zhang Liang, who was floating lightly in the void, turned his gaze and stared tiredly at the gradually destroying candle dragon giant head, and the words that the man told himself echoed in his ears little by little—the size of the elemental body would reflect the life state of the candle dragon—so when this huge elemental dragon head also began to collapse, it meant that the candle dragon's vitality was completely coming to an end.
And the death of the candle dragon also represents the death of Yingzheng.
"It's all over......" Zhang Liang sighed softly in his mouth again. Although Yingzheng's death had already been confirmed by the in-depth investigation of his soul consciousness, he was still relieved to see the dissolution of the head of the candle dragon. At least, there is no need to have any doubts now.
"It's like a dream...... "Mulan stared at a somewhat ethereal gaze and sighed tiredly.
"It's unbelievable when you think about it, we really defeated Yingzheng and Candle Dragon...... It was a crisis that was about to overturn the world, but it ended everything in our hands......"
"Yes......" Zhang Liang silently glanced at Mulan's side face, and sighed uncontrollably for a moment, "It's really like a dream." ”
Like a dream...... Zhang Liang didn't say anything, as if he had taken everything that happened to him as a dream, but when he sighed at the end, he consciously or unintentionally felt the strange emptiness in his body.
But he still chose to forget all this.
And the light of dawn never speaks, and under the brighter and brighter sky, the devastated Qianjiangling has also returned to peace.
It's just that in the pine forests to the west, thousands of meters away, the lush shadows have not yet been blessed by the light.
So the man who had been waiting in the pine forest for half the night couldn't help but put his hand out of the shadow, carefully feeling the dawn turning at his fingertips.
It wasn't until the small and faint warmth reached his heart that the tense nerves in his whole body were loosened, and he stared slightly and exhaled a long, long breath of turbidity.
"It's all over at last......" The magnetic male voice vibrated gently under the pine leaves, and there was no second response.
At dawn, the light was still very faint, and only a white-robed figure could be faintly seen in the dense shadows of the pine forest, but the face was obviously abnormal, reflecting a thin layer of luster through the gaps in the pine leaves.
The obviously reflective texture is undoubtedly a mask on the face, and if you look closely through the dark light in the pine forest, you will find that the lines of the mask are hundreds of turns and thousands of times, and they actually outline the lifelike ferocity of a dragon's face.
It's the unknown man with the vicious dragon mask on his head! The mysterious man who had met Zhang Lianghua Mulan in the stratum of the Black Land Afang Palace and helped each other on a narrow road!
That's right, at this historical moment when thousands of fates are intertwined, he also rushed to the pine forest west of Qianjiangling in the middle of the night, and lurked in the shadows of the night, borrowing special mechanism technology to watch the earth-shattering battle that took place thousands of meters away.
This is also one of Kong Ming's requests to him, on the letter paper with the sneak mission written in secret, the last thing Kong Ming said was to ask him to watch this historical war in Qin and Chu on his behalf.
That's why the man turned all the way back after leaving Fengqi Mountain, rushed to the center of the country, and inquired about the news of the real-time battlefield, and finally found the destined Qianjiangling under the guidance of the panic caused by the tyrant dragons.
And when he arrived, he encountered the scene where Xiang Yu, the light of the sky, led the sword to cut himself. In the same scene, I saw the heroic and tragic him, and I also saw the terrifying power of the kilometer candle dragon that surpassed nature.
The power was truly indescribable and shocking, and he couldn't imagine what kind of courage those who were in it dared to fight against him.
Later, when he calmed down and watched the whole battle, the mask he put on his face was already damp with cold sweat. Even if he was just watching the fire from a distance, he trembled physically and mentally at what he saw.
Thankfully, it all ended up in the end.
There were so many dead and wounded, so many people were defeated, and finally this big battle that influenced history finally ended in the hands of Zhang Liang and Mulan......
It's unbelievable that everything will end like this, but we must be glad anyway, because if Yingzheng is not defeated here, the world after the dawn will be plunged into an unimaginable war.
Thousands of meters of candle dragons soared into the sky, and tyrant dragons flew over the border......
At that time, the land on their Jinyuan side will definitely not be able to avoid the tragic situation of being burned by dragon fire...... The entire Three Realms will be in danger......
But fortunately, fortunately, everything ended in Qianjiangling - all beings still have a peaceful tomorrow, and the Three Realms still have a peaceful future.
So the man wiped the cold sweat from his neck with his hands, and was grateful again in his heart for the ending now.
Then he sighed lightly, withdrew his right hand stretched out in the light, and took out the piece of amber from his bosom.
It was a dark yellow tear-shaped amber, a special return order of the Jinyuan country.
First go to the Black Land Afang Palace, then go to the depths of the Ancient Land, then go to Fengqi Mountain, and finally watch Qin Chu's war - now that all these tasks are over, it is time for him to retire and return to Jinyuan safely.
The man's gaze did not hesitate, sneaking into Qin Chu for more than three months, although the days were leisurely, he had seen a lot of scenery outside the world, and he had a lot of experience, but for him with a heavy sense of responsibility, he still often thought about the situation of the lord and the generals in his heart.
I don't know if a new round of land warfare was set off on the border of Jinyuan while he was away from a foreign country to carry out his mission......
So when it came time to finally go back, the man couldn't help but feel a rush in his heart.
But just as he was pinching the amber stone with two fingers, intending to surging the spatial index in which the magic blue was involved, an unusual voice sounded at the right time, startling his movements for a moment.
The unfamiliar voice did not ring around him, but came from the unturned down mechanism, that is, the sound that was happening in real time on the battlefield thousands of meters away.
Could it be that at this moment, when the smoke of gunpowder is still and everything is over, will there be any unexpected people who will appear in Qianjiangling? Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but be surprised. So he put down the action in his hand that was about to return to Jin Yuan through the space, but settled his mind and continued to silently watch the scene thousands of meters away.
- "Tick Tick Tick Tick ~ Today is a good day! Oooo ”
In the quiet dawn, a song rose from the east, breaking the atmosphere of the death of the entire Qianjiangling after the war.
Almost all the conscious people present were disrupted by this happy song, especially Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan, who were in the center of the battlefield, they were even more shocked, their expressions changed greatly, and they immediately turned all their eyes to the direction where the song came from, lest they encounter some fatal changes at this time of exhaustion.
However, at this moment, on the road spreading from the east of Qianjiangling, a blonde man writhed his cheerful figure, singing intoxicatingly, and moving forward as light as a swallow.
"Hey, the way of heaven is good reincarnation~ Who does the sky bypass~ Release the song of the clouds first~ and come out of the city closure plan again...... He deserves that good man~ Finally retribution~"
The rap is endless, and the ridicule is in it.
Zhang Liang looked at the strange figure coming from the east, and when he heard it, he was confused and his chest was blocked, and he had the urge to vomit blood and die every minute.
He really couldn't understand who had such a deep hatred with him, and he had to sing all the way to the ground, especially the sentence "...... retribution", it really poked at him depressed and close to death.
Hua Mulan stood quietly next to Zhang Liang, and she was also embarrassed to hear it, feeling that the scene in front of her was extremely unreal...... It's hilarious.
However, the embarrassing reaction of the "audience" did not seem to affect the enthusiasm of the "drama spirit" at all.
The man pouted his eyes, danced with his hands, grasped the rhythm and rhyme in detail, and then followed the rhythm with both feet and slid forward briskly.
The weirdest part is the slippery step of his feet. It seems that he is just sliding lightly with a singing voice, but in fact, when each lyric falls to the rhyme, his sliding footsteps will rub extra the ground. And this friction seems to hide some kind of secret magic, which will make his brisk figure suddenly suddenly like a bolt of lightning, and in a trance, he will move forward a distance of hundreds of steps.
So after a few raps and a few trances, he came out from a long distance to the east and appeared in front of Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan in an instant.
Quite politely, when he approached ten meters in front of the two, he suddenly stopped the figure of the swift sweeping, stepped forward and stood steadily, and at the same time bowed generously, and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette to them.
Then when he raised his head, his handsome face had the last hint of a smug smile, and he ended with a loud song with his hands raised - "Yo! Oooo ”
At this moment, Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan faced this handsome and dashing second fool so closely, and their extremely embarrassed expressions bred strong suspicion and caution. Because after careful inspection, they found that they did not know this person at all.
This man was blonde and handsome, but he was dressed only in a white single coat that matched his armor. The behavior is strange from beginning to end, and the timing of the appearance is just ingenious, and the strangest thing is that there is a green apple with a bite on his right hand!
He's been dancing on the road with a green apple in his hand - and he's bitten it!
How casual is this?
And the man raised his gaze, and he was quite keenly aware of the suspicion of the two, so his eyes changed, his expression changed, and he first analyzed...... And then very self-acquainted to complain loudly.
"Your eyes tell me you don't know me—you don't even know me! the! It's been a waste of singing with my expressions for a long time, and it makes me look like a fool......"
Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan were silent.
"But you really haven't seen me, and it seems to make sense that you don't know me......" The man muttered to himself after complaining.
Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan were silent.
"Ah forget it, I'll forgive you this time anyway." The man suddenly waved his hand, and his tone became crisp, "Since you don't know, I'll be merciful to tell you once-"
Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan were silent.
The man looked serious and finally said.
"My surname is Gao, my name is Roaming, the former deputy commander of the whole army of the expeditionary army, and the people of the rivers and lakes give me the nickname - Deputy Marshal Gao!"
