Lagos City is the main city of Duchess Josefina, the city is located more than 200 kilometers south of the royal capital, known as a pearl in the southern plain, here is close to the waterway, connecting the southern city-states, and the northern trading city of Suero, one south and one north, complementing each other, is one of the most important transportation hubs of the Iberian Kingdom.

The owner of the place, Josefina, and her mother, the previous duchess, were fond of literature, poetry and music, and after more than 50 years of operation, they built concert halls, amphitheaters and theaters, adding a lot of humanistic atmosphere to the place, and slowly it changed from a commercial capital to a cultural capital, a place that many new aristocrats around were very desirable for.

But now the city's former prosperity is gone, the whole city is littered with ruins and blackened smoke, and the city's proudest Josefina concert hall has been reduced to rubble, most of which were destroyed by the fire on the day of the city's collapse.

At that time, the resistance of Josefina's army was very stubborn, and Selinda besieged the city for half a month before opening a gap in the wall. When she attacked the city, she promised her army that she would be able to plunder the walls for a day. Unexpectedly, Josefina actually had the courage to die with the enemy, and after the city was breached, he secretly sent people to set fire everywhere, and finally the whole city fell into a fire, and several troops that attacked the city fell into a sea of fire, suffered heavy losses, and some teams were even wiped out.

Among these people are not only the berserker guards she relied on, but also the people she selected from the people who dare to fight, after one battle after another, these people have a bit of elite momentum, just when she wants to cultivate these people well, she was actually burned to death by Josefina.

What's worse is that the wealth and food in the city that she was thinking about were also burned.

Selinda was so enraged that she captured the Duke's Palace, captured Josefina, and cut off her head with her own hands.

The city of art has now been turned into a barracks, and the location of the concert hall has simply become a dung pit for dumping garbage and excrement. The rest of the city's inhabitants were either incorporated into her ranks or turned into slaves to serve as vents for her team.

Josefina's mansion was only half destroyed by fire because it was stone, and the main buildings are still in good condition. Selinda and Li Jia, as well as a number of high-ranking military officers, lived in the Duke's Palace.

Li Jia and Selinda lived alone in a small building in the Duke's Palace, which was small but had five floors, almost the highest in the city. It turned out to be where Josefina's father lived. Her father loved the stars, so this place for both living and stargazing was built by the previous duchess for her husband. Li Jia also liked this place, at least every night when he climbed to the roof of the building, lying on the duke's father's chaise longue looking up at the stars, it was the only moment he could forget the city's miserable situation for a while. At such a high place, the smell of blood and smoke that had not yet dissipated in the city could not be smelled for the time being. Nor will you see the sights of those soldiers bullying slaves. The only drawback is that at such a time of night, there will still be sporadic sounds coming from afar. However, the area where the army was stationed in the duke's mansion was still a little far away, and Li Jia couldn't tell whether it was a smug shout or a miserable pleading.

Under the same starry sky, I don't know what Xiao Chen and they are doing now, I heard that they have recaptured Heimu Pass, I heard that they have stabilized the basic situation of the newly occupied territory, I heard that their realms have improved one after another, and there must have been a lot of very legendary stories, right?

Li Jia looked at the clear and brilliant starry sky, and suddenly felt very lonely, he felt like a puppy that had strayed into the wolves, although the wolves thought he was the same kind, but he himself had never been able to truly understand their behavior and practices.

The wolf wants to eat people, but he can't get his mouth down.

Li Jia thought about it, and his thoughts drifted farther and farther, and suddenly he felt a cold little hand touching his cheek, that hand was very familiar to him, and its owner was his only solace in this terrible and chaotic world. Even though they don't understand each other many times, that doesn't change his attachment to her.

"Are you in a daze here again?" asked Selinda. Li Jia turned around and saw that she was wearing a light armor, and she didn't even take off the saber at her waist, and her face was obviously tired, it seemed that she had just finished the affairs of the army, and countless approvals and intelligence were sent to Selinda every day, and she was doing her best to deal with these affairs, so she was getting more and more haggard day by day.

"Selinda. You ......" Before Li Jia could say the words of comfort, Selinda put a finger against her lips.

"I know what you're going to say, but there's something I have to do, don't say it, okay?" Selinda sat down in the chair next to him, the nails on her body making a soft noise. She half-lay down and looked up at the sky with Li Jia.

After a while, Selinda asked, "Are you feeling better these days?"

"Uh?

"It's about what we've been doing along the way. I remember the look on your face when you cut off Josefina's head with a sword, as if you didn't know me. ”

"You're thinking too much. I didn't ......"

Selinda interrupted him: "Recently, in between reviewing official documents, I will read some history books, and I have seen that these books describe the rise and fall of many dynasties, and many wars and battles in just a few simple sentences. But the details of that time are not known. Did Eren I indulge his soldiers when he conquered a city, and from where did the mages of the Spirit Tower conjure up an army of ghosts? Even if there is some criticism, it is only a few simple sentences. Say that Alan I liked to snatch famous paintings, say that Emperor Lucca liked elven beauties, and no one cares about and writes about the things that worry you. ”

"Yes, I understand this truth, the king is the king. ”

"So, you're just a little uncomfortable, because the world has always been like this. Selinda leaned over and patted Li Jia's face.

"It's just that I hear that voice all the time, that kind of scream of pain, do you understand?" Li Jia said and held Selinda's hand, "Listen, someone is shouting again, the voice is so terrible." ”

Selinda suddenly frowned and slammed up from her chair, "What are they shouting?"

"Hmmm, it looks like Miss Selinda, she's calling you!"
