Chapter 55: Silence

The northern border of the Titan Empire.

There was a sparkling fire in the camp gate, the bright moon was in the sky, the cold wind was blowing and the horn was not stopping, it was a night without stars.

"Don't play dead, you guy, don't wake up soon!" yelled Owen's companion next to him, kicking the Black Armor warrior in the waist.

"Hmm!" the black-armored warrior woke up from his coma in pain, and was about to say something.

But when he saw the four Owen standing in front of him, he was taken aback and immediately wanted to get up and escape.

However, this was only delusional, and his hands and feet were firmly bound at the moment, and he quickly gave up the struggle and glared at Owen with angry eyes.

"Don't you want to live, don't you want to die, be careful I gouge out your eyeballs!" the soldier was furious, grabbed the black armor warrior by the collar with both hands, and lifted him up.

"Don't go too far, we still have to ask him for information about the enemy. When the soldier heard this, he stopped and threw him to the ground.

"Phew!" the Black Armor Warrior spat viciously, with no fear at all, and said, "Don't dream, I won't be able to reveal any information to you." ”

He burst out laughing maniacally, his tone undisguised as mockery of Owen.

"You Titan Empire wastes, do you know now that you regret it?, you must know that it was not our Essit Empire that started this war first, but your damned Prime Minister!"

Owen's face gradually became gloomy when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "You still honestly tell me the next plan of the Essit Legion, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin." ”

"If you think you'll get information from me, you can try. The Black Armor Warrior was categorical, and his eyes were full of provocation.

The other party simply fell to the ground, no matter how they punched and kicked, they just couldn't spit out a word.

"This damn shit, it's a hard mouth!" Owen took off his hood with a look of chagrin and reached out to touch his shiny bald head, thinking about what to do next.

"My lord, what should we do now?" the soldier kicked the black-armored warrior in front of him, and the other man passed out again, finally stopping.

Owen bowed his head and muttered for a moment, then opened his mouth and instructed the three of them: "Continue with the previous plan, the three of you will infiltrate the enemy camp first and steal the enemy's intelligence. ”

"The three of you quickly change the clothes of these dead men, disguise yourself as enemy soldiers, and whether you complete your mission or not, you must assemble here before sunrise. Owen carved a mark on the trunk of the tree in the faint light of the moon, and continued, "Remember to be careful and leave yourself a way out, because if you are discovered by the enemy, you will ......."

"Your Excellency doesn't need to say much, we understand that!" replied the three warriors in unison, who immediately stripped off the clothes of the Essit soldiers and put them on themselves.

Within a minute, the trio were ready, and they tied the unconscious black-armored warrior under a large tree to prevent the other from escaping while they were away.

"Let's go when you're ready. At this moment, Owen's whole body was hidden under the short black robes, and he stared deeply in the direction of the enemy camp, his eyes reflecting the fire in the distance.

"Let's get moving!" the four shadows instantly disappeared into darkness.

——

Due to the differences between various races and religions, the Starfall Continent has been divided into many small countries and tribes since ancient times.

It wasn't until 80 years ago that that changed. Julius Caesar succeeded in winning the War of Unification, which led to a brief unification of the continent.

However, as time passed, the contradictions between the various races began to intensify again, causing the continent to fall into the vortex of war again.

The fragile peace could not withstand the ravages of time, and some nobles with political ambitions raised their counter-flags, dissociating themselves from the Titan Empire and recruiting private troops in their own territories.

Caesar's life's work to build a vast empire was divided into three in just two years.

In the end, it was all a legacy of the feudal system—Caesar's decision to reward the nobles for their exploits.

Far from their homeland, the soldiers of the United Southern Army fought hard for years in a foreign land. In order to fulfill Caesar's ambitions, the armies of the South were expanding wildly outward without stopping.

After the destruction of Blizzard City that day, the war officially ended. The young king was in high spirits and rewarded his deeds in the lord's hall, and all the nobles who had participated in the war were richly rewarded.

At this time, the whole army was in full swing, and the victory in the decisive battle raised the morale of the boat. Some high-ranking officers even began to discuss whether to march into the lonely land.

The Lonely Land is a desert land located in the far north of the continent, and it is said that only the strongest dragons can survive in such extreme conditions.

The Isle of Shadows is filled with the smell of death, and there is no living thing anymore.

However, the joy of victory did not last long, and when he learned the desperate news from Rui Xiu, his heart was shattered in an instant.

Ever since Merlin's departure, Caesar had languished, and everything he had been striving for for years had become meaningless.

Without Brandon and the others in their company, Caesar's thoughts hit rock bottom. The loneliness in my heart grows like a weed, and the stagnant heart cannot be dissipated for a long time.

Caesar was supposed to consolidate his royal power after unifying the continent, but he didn't expect to catch a vicious illness during the days when he was resting in Snowstorm City, and he couldn't afford to fall ill from then on.

He had no time to deal with the never-ending annoyance of the nobles, leaving the day-to-day affairs to Rui Xiu.

Caesar's broad skeleton could no longer support his golden robes, and his face was as white as paper. He spent his days in tears, remorseful of the decisions he had made.

Brandon, Edward, and Merlin's faces came back again and again in the middle of the night, and it had been a long time since he had slept soundly.

The flower of sin bloomed within him, destroying all hope.

However, the nobles were so immersed in the joy of victory that they did not notice that Caesar's health was deteriorating dramatically.

After a month-long discussion, the nobles finally made a decision about what to do with the legion next—to continue their march north to conquer the unknown end of the continent.

Writing down his detailed plan to conquer the Lonely Lands on Mithril paper, Rixiu walked into Caesar's mansion to report the exciting news to him.

I saw Caesar take the Mithril paper blankly and glance at it nonchalantly. In Ruixiu's incredulous gaze, he threw it on the ground.

He shook his head silently, completely ignoring Ruixiu's presence, and muttered to himself, "Let's go home...... Diane. ”

Caesar, as usual, whispered his sister's name.
