Shen Yan had a groove, but he didn't know how to spit it out.

You don't need to go through the history books to know that this kind of behavior of killing the emperor in the battle and the main general before the battle is often the precursor to the destruction of the entire army. But assuming that this sacrifice was prepared and had been "carried out many times", the situation would have gone in the other direction.

After all, we must be clear that the culture of this world and China is not the same. First of all, the emperor is not the Son of Heaven, he has no feudal attributes, and death does not cause the collapse of the soldiers' faith; Secondly, in the world where there are gods, the soul of a person who dies is to accompany the ancestors to play mahjong, and it is possible to come back to visit the door...... It's so embarrassing to cry and cry that people are coming back or something.

Sandy laughed self-deprecatingly and proudly, as if to say, "No way, the Constance family is such a stupid person!" "This is almost already a continental consensus......

Stupid? In Shen Yan's opinion, Asa Constance, who "invented" this method, is probably not only eloquent, but also extremely intelligent!

Shen Yan asked, with the strength of the empire at the beginning - the empire suddenly lost most of the border provinces, and the demons continued to pour into the world from countless cracks, not only did the strength far surpass the human race, but the human race also knew nothing about the demons - in this case, was it possible for the human race and sub-human races to defeat the demons that invaded the world?

Obviously, from the time of Asa Constance's generation, there was no hope. While everyone was still shocked by the demon that suddenly appeared in the world, he had already seen the essence of the problem. Demons come from another world, the number is endless, and humans have exhausted their strength just trying to block them, how can they win?

What to do? No way! When all forces could not directly defeat the opponent, the only feasible solution was - "wait for change" - the Soviet Union dragged on until winter and defeated the Nazis; Huaxia dragged to Japan to attack Pearl Harbor in a frenzy, dragged it to Japan to shed blood, and finally drove the invaders out.

Perseverance is not necessarily hopeful; But if you can't persevere, there is certainly no hope.

The question goes back to the original point, since you can't win, how can you persevere? At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qian Qianyi Gong gave an answer, the water was too cold, and then the Ming Dynasty died; The anti-Japanese heroes gave another answer, I will die first! The numb people were awakened, and the people who were dying went forward and succeeded, and finally beat the little Japanese out!

The only way Asa Constance could think of was to sacrifice!

Moreover, the emperor came first!

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the monarch dies." No one can deny that when generations of emperors took the lead in the charge and died on the battlefield! There is no longer any reason to hold back, no reason to be cowardly!

The weak step back and let the hero move forward!

The sacrifice of the Constance family has caused more and more people to devote themselves to the war against demons! And the heroes who emerged from it, just look at the stone statues that line the fortress to know how many!

Moreover, this approach of the Constance family also reunited the empire that tended to be torn apart. Even those vassal kingdoms had to admit that until the demons were completely driven out, the Constance family as emperor was the best and only option. As long as there is one Constance with courage, this family can occupy the imperial throne forever, and no one will ever challenge it.

Of the eleven emperors who died in battle, three became saints and one became divine...... Well, who said they were going to challenge the Constance family?

By the way, for fear of the extinction of the Constance family, this family is the only one that can marry multiple wives and recognize the status of illegitimate children. Therefore, in the past hundred years, Constance has not only not declined, but has more and more side bloodlines, which can be regarded as a great wonder of the empire. However, the Constance family, whether it is a direct or a side branch, still retains the tradition of the bronze fortress killed in battle...... Among the countless stone statues that line the edge of the city wall are a large number of Constances.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Sandy looked at Shen Yan with a blank look, "I told you all my biggest secrets, you must be hiding something, right?" How could a person like you suddenly turn into a wandering mage and appear on the front lines of the Empire? ”

"Well, since you say so, I do hide something." Shen Yan raised his left hand—he was wearing two rings on his left hand, one of wood and the other of wood.

He pinched one of them with two fingers, and with a little force, the ring was crushed with a "click".

When Sandy was feeling inexplicable, suddenly he seemed to hear a "boom" in his ears, and a soft but majestic force hit him head-on. Sandy staggered back several steps as if he had been hit by a huge wave, and only realized what had happened when he stood still...... Shen Yan's magic vortex spread out like a raging wave, expanding tenfold in one breath, expanding to a range of 300 meters in diameter!

Not only that, but the magic vortex is surging, and the forest is surging! It's like a real sea! In particular, the blue magic is mixed with a pale red color, like bloodstains. This makes the vortex aggressive and predatory, like it wants to devour everything around it!

As an epic Tier 6 warlock with core skills, how could the Magic Vortex be only 30 meters in diameter! That was just Shen Yan's way of keeping a low profile in Stormwind City.

"Ahh You...... You are the Ash! ”

"Made!" Shen Yan saw that the soldiers around him were crowded to the wall to watch the king send troops, and no one paid attention to the two fat magicians at all, so he grabbed Shandy's neck and asked viciously, "I hate it when people tell me proper nouns the most!" Explain, what is the Ash One! By the way, and what is the name of our continent? I'm so confused about 500,000 words! ”

"You don't know? But these things, how can anyone not know ......"

Shen Yan rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "I have amnesia!" ”

“…… You're amazing. Sandy couldn't laugh or cry, but he believed it. Wait, don't fight! I say, I say. The Ash One is a person who has drunk the blood of a demon and survived by luck, and who has awakened the power of the demon. The Ash Ones possess far more power than ordinary people, and have played a very important role in the war against demons.

In order to fight against demons, countless people took the initiative to drink the blood of demons, and there were many heroes in the Bronze Fortress who were ashes...... But it was later discovered that if the Ash Collector who used demonic power did not die in battle, sooner or later he would have degenerated into an even more powerful demon.

Possessing both demonic power and human intelligence, it is even more difficult to kill.

So since then, the number of Ashes has been decreasing. And most of the Ashes will choose to go to the battlefield and die with the demons before they feel like they are going to fall...... Over time, even the rituals required to become the Ash were lost, and the Ash became a legend.

As for the name of this continent, the humans call it Regana, and the elves call it Segnus. However, in the oracles of the gods, the official name of this land should be ...... Swan. ”
