Part 1 A Promise Under the Stars 28 Black Heart, Red Blood, White Light

28 A black heart, a scarlet blood, a white light

Melo Entekoman faced the Praetorian Guard infantry phalanx, and as far as the eye could see, he was right halfway between the Praetorian Guard and Windwalk. The two infantry phalanxes of the Praetorian Guards stood side by side, facing the town of Windwalk, and the cavalry took over the patrol around the perimeter, and due to the distance, Milo was only a vague little in their eyes.

"Alone?!" "He's crazy" "Surrender here." A loud discussion rang out in the phalanx. Duke Xia Fei was surprised and decided to go and see this strange situation for himself.

The Viscount led the Nightsparrow and many militiamen to guard the walls of the western fort, while the wind chimes stood aside, she could feel the nervousness and panic of the crowd, but she did not have the slightest nervous tension in her, but had a kind of strategic confidence. Looking at Milo's fading back, Parrett didn't dare to look at it and hid in the fortress. Nightfinch squinted at the wind chimes and seemed to say, "Are you really sure?" After the wind chime noticed, he smiled and gave a look back: "Trust me!" ”

Melo struggled to move forward, making her way towards the Praetorian Guard camp. Ever since he left the council chamber late at night, Parrett had been following behind him at all times, persuading him not to accept the Wind Chimes' proposal and not to go to the Praetorian Guard to surrender. Thanks to Parrett's stalking, Melo had no time to be alone, let alone find a weapon, until it was almost dawn when he finally fell asleep in a daze. Just now, the wind chime handed him the poison bottle as agreed, and did not say anything, only one sentence: "Like a man". Aren't you like a man? Maybe the wind chimes just want to provoke themselves, someone once said that "anger is better than despair", and this sentence is true for people who want to end their own lives.

But Milo just felt that before the end of his life, he had turned a deaf ear to all words, whether it was ridicule or abuse, it was no longer important to his dying self. He paced forward a few more distances...... The Praetorian Guards could already see his silhouette......

Melo took out the poison bottle, uncorked it, and looked at the potion inside with contempt...... "Is there anything else to be nostalgic for?" Milo asked his heart, the cloak had been entrusted to the viscount, all his weapons had been handed over to the militia of the fortress, and before leaving the fortress, he went to visit Count Lee, who was still unconscious...... "No, it's time to see Heidi......" He picked up the medicine bottle and put it to his mouth, and raised his head - he saw the sky, the gloomy sky...... "Remember the agreement about the stars?" He jerked the vial down, but made sure it didn't spill out. It wasn't until he saw the sky that he remembered that he and the girl had an agreement about the stars, and although there were no stars at this time, the act of looking up was like a memory imprint, reminding him that there was still unfinished business...... Conventions......

Xia Fei came to the front of the phalanx, and he could already see the figure not far in front of the formation, "I didn't even have a weapon, this is just a person who is desperate and collapsed." He thought to himself, a look of disdain appeared on his face, and then ordered: "When he is in range, kill him directly." The adjutant beside him nodded and saluted, ready to return to the phalanx.

"Wait a minute," Xia Fei suddenly changed his mind, he wanted to give Fengxing Town a dismount and let them experience mental torture, "Don't kill him in a hurry first, wait for him to enter the firing range, you ......"

The Viscount and the others looked far away, trying to see Milo's figure clearly, time had been infinitely stretched in their senses, as if every moment was an endless torment, and they hoped that Milo could reach the Praetorian Guard safely - "safe"? When he got to the Praetorian Guard, God knows what Xia Fei would do to him......

Just when everyone's hearts were hanging, the wind chimes laughed, and the laughter was crisp and crisp, without the slightest worry. The viscount also began to doubt the mysterious magician in front of him, and he finally couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Wind chimes, why laugh? The wind chime raised his hand to signal the viscount not to get excited, and then said, "He drank it anyway." ”

Everyone looked at each other, but the wind chime confidently said, "Don't worry, it's over soon......"

"Smack!" With a bang, everyone's hanging hearts were lifted to their throats!

"What agreement...... There's no point......" Melo pondered, intending to use self-hypnosis to force herself to drink the poison. Finally, he lifted the vial again—and drank it, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes......

Having left everything behind, he finally set out to move forward, facing the two infantry phalanx—

Suddenly, he felt that his left ear was instantly hot, as if it was about to burn off, he hurriedly covered his ear with his hand, and then heard a gunshot, "Smack!" ”

The gunners in the phalanx saw Milo enter range and fired according to Xia Fei's instructions.

Bleeding all over his hands, Milo knew that his ear was grazed by bullets, but then there was an even greater doubt - the wind chimes deceived themselves? He wanted to look back at the windswept side, but he couldn't use his strength, and even though it was his ear that was shot, he couldn't move.

"Wind Chimes, you lied to me? …… Xia Fei, do you still want to kill me? ......" The continuous questions repeatedly appeared in Milo's mind, and he didn't think long before he felt a bullet pierce his right leg, and the huge force made him kneel on the ground, followed by "Smack!" "Bullets are faster than sounds...... "Bullets are faster than sounds......" he thought to himself, blood gurgling from his thighs......

"Why...... It's not the same as promised......" The thought flashed through Milo's mind, he no longer had the strength to think about other questions, "I am not reconciled...... You deceived you and died...... Unwilling...... "The pain gradually decreased, I don't know if it was the poison that worked, or it was caused by excessive blood loss, and the scene in front of Milo's eyes gradually blurred......

"Give him the fatal blow!" Duke Xia Fei gave a terrible order, "Then attack the city!" He didn't intend to give the person in front of him a happy end, but tortured the opponent's mind with multiple shots, forcing the people in Windwalk Town to feel fear and lose the will to resist. With such psychological tactics, Xia Fei can be said to be handy.

He ordered the first shot to hit the left arm, which was slightly off, and he ordered the second shot to hit the right leg, which also missed. Xia Fei was in a hurry, but seeing that the person in front of him suddenly knelt down, and dragging it out any longer might be bad for morale, so he gave the order of "Fatal Blow......

The viscount and others standing on the city wall heard three gunshots, and they were very concerned about Milo's safety, but they were so powerless at this time. The wind chimes on the side changed into a serious expression, staring in the direction of Milo.

"Yes, like a man...... Same with that guy! She was amazed from the bottom of her heart.

In a flash of lightning, Milo's chest was hot, and a bullet pierced her heart accurately, but there was no pain...... He only felt that the scene in front of him gradually glowed with white light, and the pure white slowly filled his vision...... The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were also shrouded in this white light......

"That's it...... He's dead? ”

“…… Still haven't been able to keep the promise......"
