The dim light shone down from the sky, like looking up from the bottom of the water, the light and shadow were hazy.

Under the gray clouds, the land was charred and black, and it was a mess.

Ash wafted through the air, and the smell of burnt flesh filled every inch of space.

As far as the eye could see, smoking, corpses could be seen everywhere, and broken mech parts were scattered everywhere.

"Boom, Boom......"

A behemoth knelt on the ground, holding a human corpse in both hands, chewing and swallowing, the sound of bones cracking and making the scalp tingle.

It has a large lizard-like tail, dark red skin, large spikes protruding from its back, and two long pointed horns on its forehead.

This is an Abyssal Archdemon, the upper layer of the carbon-based food chain in the multiverse.

They are evil, powerful, greedy, bloodthirsty, the embodiment of killing and rage. Wherever it appears, it will bring a bloody storm.

The big demon is eating, and its food is a miserable fellow.

In the middle of gobbling up, an arm hung out of the gap in the big claw, and the sleeve of the combat uniform on it was still intact, and it was not difficult to distinguish that it was the corpse of a mercenary.

"Purr ......"

Suddenly, the Great Demon stopped. Lifting the hideous head, black blood dripping down the fangs and dripping down the shoulder. The crimson eyes that seemed to flow with lava looked vigilantly into the darkness in the distance, as if some danger was approaching.

"Hora, Sista......"

Obscure syllables sounded, like the whispers of the demon king. The archdemon seemed to be frightened, and fled into the rugged obsidian area.

A moment later, a pair of shiny leather shoes stepped on the charred earth.

"It seems that I have gained a lot this time."

It was a young nobleman who spoke. He wears a high-end off-white dress, handsome, free and uninhibited. However, there was a dark evil aura between his eyebrows.

There was no one else around him, as if he was talking to the air, which was very strange.

"Well, it didn't last long......"

He paused in front of a pile of charred corpses, one hand resting his chin on it, as if assessing the freshness of the corpse.

"Buzz!"

A large spatial crack opened behind him, and a huge beast claw stretched out, grabbed several corpses, and shrank back.

In the lava mountains sits a huge beast egg. There was a big hole in the top of the egg. The claws of the beast come out of the place where the shell is broken.

Soon there was a chewing sound inside the eggshell, and the crunch of bones breaking was constantly heard. Blood splattered in the breach, running down the eggshell.

After eating, the beast's claws stretched out again, and he scooped up a few corpses and sent them into the egg shells.

"Eat, eat!"

"Soon you will be able to absorb enough energy to break out of your shell and reign in this world!"

The young nobleman spread his hands and his eyes flashed with madness. One by one, corpses were dragged into the field and thrown into the flesh blender inside the egg shell.

"I look forward to this moment with great devotion and fanaticism!"

Just as a cruel scene was going on somewhere in the Green Continent, tens of thousands of kilometers away, the mansion in the small town on the northern edge of the Red Earth Continent was the complete opposite.

On the small platform in the middle of the double-strand staircase in the hall, the maids took turns to perform. Singing and dancing, jubilant and enthusiastic.

"Mr. Butler, you haven't performed today." "Yes, yes, Mr. Butler's singing is particularly good." "Mr. Housekeeper, don't be embarrassed, come and sing a song~"

The housekeeper Lao K was pushed and pulled by several maids and went on stage.

"Okay, then I'll make a fool of myself."

Soon, a deep, deep bass reverberated through the hall.

"Pavilions and birches, long blue sky, slight southerly wind."

"The magnolia blossoms on the hill of the northern spring, ah, the northern spring has come......"

The song is sad and deep, with a touch of homesickness, and the maids are fascinated by it, and they can't help but sway from side to side to the melody.

This song is the famous "Spring of the Northern Kingdom" on the earth, which was sung by Chen Xingjiao Lao K, which is just in line with Lao K's deep and rich voice.

"The begonias are thick, the morning fog is misty, and the waterwheel hut is quiet."

"There are bursts of children's songs about the spring of the northern country, ah, the spring of the northern country has come."

"My brother is like an old father, a pair of taciturn people, but they have been idle and sorrowful, and occasionally drink a few cups."

"Hometown, hometown, my hometown, when will I be able to return to your arms!"

Listening to the familiar song, Chen Xing couldn't help but think of his parents on the earth, his friends in his hometown, and the girl he once had a crush, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

After singing the song, there was silence for a while, and there was warm applause.

"Mr. Butler sings so well!" "It's so touching, I'm about to cry!" "Uh-huh!"

Chen Xing secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, replaced them with a cheerful smile, slapped the side table hard, applauded, and shouted: "Good singing!" Reward! ”

Seeing Yuecanglia holding a tray with a reward of twenty gold coins in it, she gave it to Lao K on the spot.

"Assistant Yang has one too!" "Yes, Mr. Butler also performs."

After tossing Lao K, the maids came to pull Xiao Yang again.

"I can't sing......" Xiao Yang hurriedly refused.

"If you can't sing, you can dance~" "Yes, yes, Assistant Yang, don't be embarrassed, let's perform a show~"

"I can't dance!" Xiao Yang screamed and dodged in all directions.

"Don't run!" "No, you have to go up and perform." The maids are in hot pursuit.

"No, I'm not going to die!" Xiao Yang hid behind the sofa, pulling the backrest with both hands, and his face was dead, but he refused to perform on stage.

"Master, Assistant Yang, he refuses to perform!" "Assistant Yang is incompetent." "There's no collective spirit at all!" The maids all ran to Chen Xing to complain.

Being entangled by the maids, Chen Xing turned his head to Xiao Yang and said, "You can also give a performance, I remember that you danced with Guo Ying at the last dance." Then he encouraged, "Dance well and give you a reward!" ”

Xiao Yang was forced to be helpless, and under the pull of the maids, he half-pushed and half-got on the stage.

"I love you, little piggy, I love you......"

"Kiss you, little fat pig, don't shed tears, I love you......"

Singing and singing, Xiao Yang entered, twisted his ass unwillingly, and looked very enjoyable. "Don't be upset, little fat pig, I love you......"

The maids pursed their lips and laughed. I have to say that Xiao Yang's twisting of his ass is quite funny, and he is very serious.

A dance of golden songs, the audience applauded warmly.

"Assistant Yang is stunned!" "Assistant Yang is so angry!" "Assistant Yang is the best!"

"Sing well, reward money!" Chen Xing applauded loudly.

Seeing Yuecanglia coming over with a plate, she offered a reward of twenty gold coins.

"Thank you, Boss!" Xiao Yang happily took the bounty.

Looking at Xiao Yang's upset appearance, Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the money would soon be squeezed dry by Xiao Xuan. It feels like it's not for Xiao Yang, but for green tea.

Although this association made him very unhappy, he couldn't help it, one of them was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, you love me, it is reasonable and legal, and he can't help it.

"The head maid is also coming~" "Mmmm, the head maid hasn't performed yet." ”

"Aren't you afraid of me taking the lead?" Seeing Yuecanglia raise her head, it was like looking at a group of little children.

"Come on~" "Let's see the strength of the head maid!" ”

After a while, I saw that Yuecang Lotus changed into the traditional costume of Yingren, held two paper fans, and danced the dance of the gods of Yingren.

The dancing posture is beautiful, and the demeanor is all directions. It is worthy of being a professionally trained court maid, and it is by no means something that a girl raised by a flower girl can have. One eye, one painting, one dance and one poem, the artistic conception is far-reaching, full of the peerless elegance of the heavenly palace, lonely and high.

Xiao Yang was fascinated and followed the dance moves. Old K kept glancing at him from the sidelines to stop him from following his example. But Xiao Yang was so intoxicated that he didn't notice it at all.

After the dance, there was only the sound of quiet breathing, and they were all indulged in the artistic conception of Luoshen's dancing posture, and they couldn't extricate themselves for a long time.

At this moment, a guard came in from the outside and broke the silence: "My lord, there is a guest asking to see!" ”

The interest was interrupted, Chen Xing was a little unhappy, and turned his head lazily, "Who?" ”

"He said he was an old friend of yours." The guard replied.

"Old friends?" Chen Xing racked his brains, and he didn't expect that he had any old friends who were left behind.

"Describe it." Chen Xing said.

"A little fat, like a barrel, but very strong, with very thick arms, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard." The guard gestured.

Chen Xing frowned, he didn't remember who it was after thinking for a long time, and said with low interest, "Invite him in." ”

After a while, a stout figure appeared in the doorway.

Chen Xing's eyes lit up at first, revealing excitement, but his eyes soon darkened again, as if he remembered something unpleasant, and returned to his expressionless and lazy appearance.

"It's you......" he said nonchalantly.

But the other party didn't mind at all, still with a bold smile on his face, strode forward and hugged Chen Xing.

"Brother, you want to kill me!"

The person who came was indeed an old friend.

And for Chen Xing, he is not only an old friend in this life, but also an old friend in the previous life.

Brothers of the two lives!

The man's armband is impressively printed with three vigorous and powerful white fonts - Thunder Light Regiment!

The person who came was Huo Tsui, the deputy head of the Thunder Light Regiment.

After a few moments, the two moved to the back garden, away from the hustle and bustle of the living room.

"Tell me, what's the matter with coming to me?"

Chen Xing leaned back and rested his feet on the back of another rattan chair, looking uneasy.

Huo Tsui's expression was a little embarrassed, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak. It is both hesitation and embarrassment.

"Tell me, you bright heroes, what's the matter with me coming to me?" Chen Xing's tone was lazy, and he said without being salty.

"Hey, hey......" Huo Chew scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Brother Chen Xing, why don't you mind." ”

When Chen Xing heard this, he immediately became angry, but he didn't send it out immediately, but said in a weird way, "Yes, I'm a villain, I have a small amount of energy, and I don't have a lot of energy, and I don't go all the way with your big heroes." ”

"Oh, look at what I said!" "I'm sorry, brother, it's me who can't speak." ”

"Actually, in fact, ......" seemed to be organizing the language, and the fire chew held back for a while before saying the rest of the story, "Actually, after you left that day, the boss regretted it." ”

"He said that you risked your life to save everyone, and he was angry with you, because he was sorry for you."

"He said that what you did was right, but we were pedantic and didn't know what to do."

"He always said in front of us that Brother Chen Xing is a smart man and clever, not comparable to us stupid soldiers......"

"Wait." Chen Xing interrupted the fire nozzle, "Are you changing your way to say that I am cunning?" That's right, I'm just a villain who forgets his righteousness. ”

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, you misunderstood, really not, I didn't mean that." Huo Tsui quickly shook his head and denied it.

"That's not what you mean, that is, that's what Tieno means?" Chen Xing grabbed the handle and asked.

"This ......" Huo Tsui was already stupid, where was Chen Xing's opponent, he was immediately defeated, and he choked for a long time before saying, "Boss, he didn't mean that." ”

"And what does he mean?" Chen Xing tilted his head and asked.

"He, he, that......" Huo Tsui was staggered, intermittent, and it took a lot of effort to finish the sentence," the boss said, if it weren't for the Chen Xing brothers, the Lei Guang Tuan would no longer exist. ”

"He said that he was wrong, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he must apologize to the Chen Xing brothers in person."

"So he's here?" Chen Xing asked.

"Uh......" The fire mouth was so red that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Okay, don't tell if you can't lie." Chen Xing put down his foot, turned around, and patted Huo Tsui's shoulder.

Who is Tieno, is he still unclear?

The contact between the two lives, and he still doesn't know the character of the other party, so his emotional intelligence is too low.

Tieno was never an impulsive person, even in the most extreme cases. Since he can say it, it means that it is what he thinks in his heart, and it is by no means hot-headed and gibberish.

The word that comes out is the water that is spilled, and a word is a nail. Ironclad is Tienuo's style, and his gains and losses are not at all like him. Therefore, none of the words said above the fire mouth are true.

Huo Chew clenched his fists, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally he let out a long sigh and said deflatedly, "It's tiring to talk to you smart people......

"Yes, you're right, I made up all the above words, and he didn't say anything, boss." Fire Tip admitted. Shaking his head, a little helpless.

"Then what are you here for, to visit your former villain friend?" Chen Xing's eyes were cold, and he asked lightly.

Huo Tsui raised his head, stared at Chen Xing with round eyes like copper bells, and said word by word, "If I have half a word in my heart, saying that you Chen Xing is a villain, I will thunder and slash the sky, and I will be dead on the street!" ”

Looking at the iron-clad man in front of him, Chen Xing's tone couldn't help but soften, "You don't have to be like this, I believe in you." He pressed the other party's thick shoulders, "No matter what the others do, you are my good brother Chen Xing." ”

"Hmm." The fire tip nodded heavily.

"There is an old saying in our hometown, if you have friends from afar, you can't say it." Chen Xing invited himself, "Come, let's go to the show first, and then eat and drink together in the evening!" ”

"Come to my territory, but you have to be entertained!"

"No, it's too late...... Huo Chew suddenly became depressed, shook his head, and muttered to himself.

"What's too late?" Chen Xing wondered.

"It's too late, boss, it's too late...... Huo Tsui was a little incoherent, "we have to go now, go, go and save people, he, he's in danger......"

"Who?" Chen Xing's brows furrowed slightly.

"Tienuo, Tienuo is in danger!" Huo Tsui grabbed Chen Xing's arm excitedly, "Only you can save him now!" ”

"Haha......" Chen Xing laughed miserably and broke his hand on the nozzle, "We are not related, but I am afraid that if I am willing, others will not be willing." ”

He and Tieno had broken up and had nothing to do with it. Their futures are like two parallel lines, never intersecting.

"I know you're still complaining about the boss in your heart. What he said that day was really hurtful, but I know that he didn't think so in his heart. Huo Chew said sincerely.

"Are you Tienuo? Or is it a roundworm in his stomach? Chen Xing put away his smile and changed his expression to a cold expression, "Brother, if you come to catch up today, I will serve you with good wine and meat, but if it is something else, I am sorry, I will not accompany you." ”

After speaking, Chen Xing turned around and left, without the slightest nostalgia.

He said......"

"He said that if one day, he is gone, let us come to you."

Chen Xing's footsteps stopped. He turned slowly. For some reason, hearing this, the blood all over his body seemed to churn.

"He said that his head was too simple, and things were either straight or curved, so he always hit the wall......"

"He said you're different, you can always find a straight way in the intricacies of detours."

"He really, said that?" Chen Xing's voice trembled slightly. In this world, he only respects three people, the mayor, the black old monster, and Tieno!

"He said, if one day, he's gone, let us come to you."

He said that in this cruel world, perhaps you are more suitable than him to lead the Thunder Light Regiment. If we follow him, we may never touch our dreams......"

"Our dreams." The sound of the fire spit became quieter and quieter, at best, as if it was talking to itself.

"What are your dreams?" Chen Xing asked.

After two lifetimes, in fact, he still doesn't know what the dream of the Lei Guangtuan and Tienuo's dream is.

"Tienuo's dream, Shen Guangming's dream, thunder's dream, our dream ......"

"Tieno said that mercenaries are the most romantic profession in the world, and they can go on adventures with their brothers, fight together, and drink together......"

"However, the profession of mercenary is too hard, except for a small number of people who can get out of the way, the others don't have a stable life until they are old."

"We're going to build a nation of mercenaries. There, the mercenaries are old and crippled, they can no longer fight, and they can still have a place to live. We can also talk and drink together. Old mercenaries can tell young mercenaries stories of the past and pass on their combat experience to them......"

It turned out that this was their dream.

Chen Xing's eyes couldn't help but moisten. Thinking back to the mercenary career in the previous life, there were hardships and laughter, but I never really felt at ease. I always feel like a wandering leaf, drifting with the flow. I never knew where I would drift tomorrow after today.

The vast majority of low-level mercenaries are confused about the future.

When I returned to the city, I had no means of survival, and I was accustomed to a life of freedom and pleasure, so I couldn't lower my head to do jobs that didn't require skills, and I could only consume my previous savings. Mercenaries like to drink because they don't want to think about the future, because low-level mercenaries never have a future!

Horse leather shroud, guest death in a foreign land, death on the battlefield, may be the best ending for mercenaries.

In this world, there is a kind of people who have great ideals in their hearts and want to change the world, even if it is just a little.

With Tieno's ability, he can find a place to live a stable life at any time, but for the ideal in his heart, he never stops.

The sorrow of the world is my sorrow, and the pain of the world is my pain.

Compassion and great love.

Some people live a peaceful and stable life, but when they were teenagers, they set the ambition of "I want to study for the rise of the country"; Some people are born without worrying about food and clothing, and enjoy all the glory and wealth, but they say, "The country and the nation have reached a time of crisis, and my generation can only work hard." ”

The world is changing precisely because of these great existences.

"So you joined Arashi?" Chen Xing suppressed the boiling heart and asked.

"How do you know!" Firemouth looked shocked, for he had never said it to anyone before.

Chen Xing wouldn't tell him that he was a reborn and knew a lot of things.

Arashikoku, it's just a scam.

How can an ambitious prince who wants to restore the country be an idealist?

Joan Malan is just using mercenaries, not really trying to build a mercenary country.

"Tell me, what's going on......"

Chen Xing sat down again.

He is not a hero, and he can't be a hero, but he yearns for a hero.

He simply thinks that this world will be better if there is Tienuo.
