Chapter 33: Beatrice, a Liar~(2/3)
Matthew's Eye.
The city, rebuilt after the war, has been standing in the Northland for more than four years, and in the intervening four years, countless people have made it their second home, perhaps because of the loss before, these people have poured more affection into every corner of the city, almost raising the city as if they were their own children, but now, the sadness that once fell on them is about to reappear.
The Dark Devils, the aliens who destroyed the Holy City, their memories and their hometowns, are about to break through the blockade, and the last knights of the entire Holy See are guarding the forefront, and during the time when they are on the defense of flesh and blood, it is their time to escape.
Every minute and every second of this short hour carried a strong smell of blood that lingered.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Behind, keep up!"
"Oh, when is the time, I'll put all these things down! I asked you if your life or money mattered?! Yes?! β
The noise and chaos, as well as the faint sound of sobs, enveloped the city that had become extremely quiet under the protection of the knights, but even more obvious than these was the fear of racing against death, leading to the original sanctuary, and now the door of the sanctuary had been opened, and the inhabitants of the holy city, although panicked, were still leaving in an orderly manner, but under this stable order was filled with suppressed despair.
When did even fleeing become so commonplace?
"Don't go! , run, run! Where can you run! β
At this time, in the team, an extremely strong, but broken leg man suddenly smashed the thing in his hand to the ground, like a balloon that had been compressed to the limit finally exploded and roared: "Why do you want to run away, Lao Tzu has to fight with those damn aliens for this old life, it is better than running around like a dog with these garbage things, at least it can be regarded as a dignified death!" β
"If you still have some guts, follow me, this is our home, and death will die here!"
Mixed with anger, the roar of despair and sadness stirred up a commotion in the ranks, and the eyes of some men lit up with a kind of intention, which was the last extreme in the chests of those on the verge of despair, but at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, and a beautiful girl in simple clothes swayed slowly,
"Do you want to die so much?"
ββ¦β¦ Uh, Lady Beatrice, I ......"
The look on the face of the man who was still filled with righteous indignation just now was stunned, burning despair and hysteria, and he could only watch the former saint under the crown slowly swaying over as if he had not woken up, his eyes were clear and calm, and his voice seemed to have the power to go straight to the depths of his heart, making it impossible to escape, "If you want to die, why do you want to live until now?" Death is simple...... But what can a heroic death get back? β
The woman's voice paused slightly, then looked at the man who looked away, and said:
"Nothing, isn't it?"
"Your faith, your loneliness and courage, it's like you never existed in this world, what a pity......"
"It doesn't matter!"
The man's face turned red and he waved his hand heavily, but the girl immediately followed and asked, "What about the others?" Your relatives, your elders, if you die, their traces in this world will completely disappear, is this not important?! β
"And ...... There's a future......"
"It is true that we have experienced absolute sorrow and pain, and the city that once burned with warmth in the world has turned to ashes, but this is like a flame, even if the burning flame has been extinguished, but as long as we live, even if we live humbly, the flame and will of the Holy See will always be re-lit one day in the future, bringing light and warmth to others as in the past...... And this heavy responsibility falls on you, and it is a glorious character that is not inferior to that of the victims. β
The girl's voice seemed to have the power to move people's hearts, and the originally restless atmosphere settled down again, bending down to pack the package that the man had thrown on the ground and picking it up, the corn tortilla that was called garbage fell to the ground and stuck to the soil, Bicui patted it lightly without any care, broke off a small piece and still had it in her mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on her delicate face:
"Actually, it tastes good."
"So, stay alive, okay? With the wishes of your companions and loved ones, with the hope and hope for the future, live humbly but with your head held high, okay? β
Met Beatrice's smile, the man's lips opened slightly, and finally he just bowed in silence, took the food called junk, and strode into the procession, which began to move forward again, and the despair and depression that had lingered seemed to be dispelled by something, although it still gave people a sense of heaviness, but with a faint vitality, like a seed pressed under the rocks.
"Whew~ It's really ...... It's finally getting a little bit of a look......"
A woman in white armor looked at the scene in front of her, sighed slightly, and complained: "When is it, and it is still causing trouble for everyone, Lord Beatrice, let's leave quickly...... Your Excellency the Inquisitor, they have sent a message asking us to evacuate within an hour, and the sooner we evacuate, the longer we will be left with the knights. β
"Hmm."
Beatrice nodded emphatically, and the two of them followed the back of the group and rushed in the direction of the refuge, but when they only advanced for a short while, the girl's footsteps paused slightly, and a look of surprise and disbelief appeared on her face, and the female knight in front turned her head curiously, and saw Beatrice patting her little head in annoyance, and said with a headache:
"Ahh I accidentally pulled down the Holy See relics! β
"What?"
The curiosity on the female knight's face instantly turned into astonishment, her pupils widened, and she almost subconsciously said, "Then what should I do?!" β
"I can't throw this thing away, Mavis, you go first, my magic is much faster than yours~ Oh yes, this is my baby, you have to take good care of it. Peace of mind, I'll be back soon~"
Beatrice also stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and stuffed a package in her arms into the arms of the female knight, and then did not leave the latter the slightest time to object, waved her hand and strode towards the city not far away, the knight was slightly in a trance, looking at the girl's back and having the illusion that this was the last side of this life, he shook his head heavily to dispel this damn thought, and then settled down, and did not pretentiously follow the team blessed by Beatrice with the package directly.
Believe in your teammates, this is the justice of the knights!
Originally, that's what she believed......
This belief continued until she felt an incomparably powerful aura of evil, and ...... An even more decisive and brilliant light suddenly rose from Matthew's eyes, and the delicate light lit up from every part of the city fortress as if it were illusory, and then outlined together, turning into a huge wall, stretching to the cliffs on both sides, dividing the inhabitants into two worlds with the dark monsters that burst into the dark aura.
Mavis's steps suddenly became extremely heavy, and she stood in place, staring blankly at the long hair and familiar side face swaying in the holy light, her brain became extremely trance as if it had been struck by lightning, and only a line of large characters kept floating in front of her eyesβ
Matthew's Eye, the former Holy See fortress, has the last resort, and those who have cultivated enough can activate the city's holy light barrier, not entering, not leaving, breaking through this defense is equivalent to breaking through two defense lines at the same time, so it is called the blood-stained hymn of sorrow.
"That's ...... Holy Light Defense! β
"Whew~ I can breathe a sigh of relief now...... Hurry up, everyone will survive......"
The shocking exclamations behind him rang out one after another, but how could ordinary residents know something, those voices of praise for this holy light barrier had already relaxed, and even a relieved voice sounded in the ears of the female knight extremely clearly and harshly, making her body tremble violently uncontrollably.
"I'll be back soon~"
"Peace of mind......
"Actually, this tastes pretty good......
"One day, this flame will be rekindled......"
Looking up stubbornly at the faint figure, large tears slipped from the eyes of the young knight, blurring her vision.
"Liars ......"
