Chapter 631 [Draw the sword from today]
This was probably Quint's most desperate moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even two months ago, when Artoria rode the sea fortress and the tsunami was overwhelming, he was not so desperate as he is now.
After all, at that time he still had a way out, there was a choice, and now, he has nothing.
Man, what he fears most is not an invincible enemy, nor a force that destroys the world, but that there is no way out.
Quint just has no way out now.
When he heard the earth-shaking rumble in the distance, he knew it was over.
He was wrong, this was a conspiracy, not a conspiracy, it was a matter of taking advantage of the situation, and Artoria was not the mastermind of the conspiracy, not even the initiator, but just a person who was taken advantage of.
She started a war that pushed many people to the end, including herself.
Then, now, someone has come to pick the last fruits.
Quint thought he was the one who picked the fruit, but he was wrong.
The praying mantis is catching cicadas, and the yellow finches are waiting to hunt the mantis in the back.
This is an old saying on the Central Continent, he used to think that he was the yellow finch, and now he realized that he was also just the praying mantis.
"Gather the formation, go and tell the people over there, in the southeast today, everyone is already living and dying together, and how to make a choice depends on the thoughts of all the kings. After a long silence, Quint said to his subordinates.
"Yes. The subordinate replied with a heavy heart, although Quint's words were still so calm and confident, but he also understood that tonight's situation, if the Southeast Coalition insisted on leaving, then they could only die here.
At the same time, the side of the Southeastern Coalition.
It's also a fright.
They were already full of confidence, and felt that the biggest winner today was none other than them, even if they couldn't deal with the tumor of Quint for the time being, at least they could drive the power of the demon seed out of the southeast.
Moreover, after this battle, Quint will inevitably be greatly injured.
It's a result they couldn't have imagined before they went to war.
However, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves shattered their calculations.
"How could it be ......" When the first batch of reinforcements arrived, they were still able to accept it, at most they felt that they might have to pay some more losses today, at least, the top of the Southeast Coalition Army was confident.
But when the second batch of reinforcements arrived, they knew that they were just meat on the chopping block in the eyes of others.
Really, before this battle, they, including Quint, had not seen the situation of the entire Southeast and the Demon Seed army at all.
Artoria went south, they only thought that there was some kind of fighting within the demon seed army, and they were far from thinking of something more far-reaching.
And the sound of horses' hooves woke them up and let them know how serious the differentiation within the demon seed had become.
The other party dared to let go of Amst at this time, and the whole army went south, it was already not concerned about the situation in the north, this is, completely, a rebellion.
"I advise you to retreat at once, or else you are in danger of capsizing today. "Immediately, there was an intention to retreat.
Indeed, they are already long-fought divisions, and the army of the demon seed has formed a triangular equilibrium with them before, and it is estimated that they will have no choice but to end it in the end.
But the addition of this sudden demon seed reinforcement will completely upset this fragile balance.
The only thing that awaits them is destruction.
"I second. It didn't take long for someone to agree with the idea.
Before, they were able to temporarily cooperate with Quint with the idea that everyone is human to attack the demon seed.
But at this time, a catastrophe is coming, and then no one can really control anyone.
"Seconded. β
"Seconded. β
"Seconded. β
A litany of secondments.
But there was still someone who didn't speak, and it was the most prestigious man in the entire Southeastern Alliance, the lord of Tasker, Hoffman Resfeld.
The cousin of the de facto master of the current Middle Empire, who controls the largest city in the southeast and has the strongest soldiers in the southeast, he also proposed the idea of joining forces with Quint before.
Now he was silent, clearly disapproving of the idea of retreat.
"Lord Hoffman, this is not the time to talk about the righteousness of the human race, and we ourselves are in danger. Someone saw Hoffman's silence, probably understood his thoughts, and hurriedly spoke to persuade him.
After all, Hoffman's position is very important, and his ideas are too important.
Hoffman still didn't speak, he glanced to the side, as if waiting for something.
What to wait for?
Waiting for death?
The sound of the demon seed's iron hooves is already so close, don't you still make a choice?
When everyone couldn't help but urge, and even wanted to make a choice directly, Quint's messenger came.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we, the Governor, want me to bring you a message. The visitor looked at these southeast tycoons with a solemn face, and said what Quint had told him word by word.
"Today's southeast is already a situation of life and death, and how to choose depends on the thoughts of all the kings. β
It's all up to you, just a thought.
Eight words made the hearts of everyone present heavy.
How can they not know this, but human beings are inevitably greedy for life and death, greedy for wealth.
If you can let someone else die for you, then you will never object.
"Governor Quinnt's words are what I want to say. It was only at this time that Hoffman slowly spoke, "We retreat today, maybe we can steal our lives for a while, but from now on, the southeast will no longer be the land of my human race." β
"Gentlemen, if you don't want to be a member of the dead race, you should draw your sword from today on!!"
He roared like a lion that had not yet aged.
There may be people in human beings who are greedy for life and afraid of death, cunning and evil deeds, and who disregard the interests of the race and the overall situation of the country, but in the end, there are also hot-blooded people.
"Chokβ" Hoffman drew his sword suddenly, and the sound of the sword shaking everyone present.
"Today, I lead the charge, die, I am the first to die. When he had said this, he said no more, but rode forward.
Seeing that this powerful man who should be regarded as one of the few real power figures in the Central Empire is so indomitable, those southeast tycoons are also ashamed.
Even Quint's subordinates, who came to report the news, looked at this person who had been an opponent for many days, and there was an excited look in his eyes.
Whenever there is a dead end, there must be heroes in front of them.
"......Your Excellency, please," after a long silence, several other leading figures in the Southeastern Alliance, looking at Quinnt's messenger, said, "Go back and tell your lord, we, fighting side by side, tonight, there will be death and no life." β
