Clear.

Fight day.

Everything is ready to go.

Early in the morning, Su Junyan took people to the Phoenix Forest outside the city.

The phoenix forest is the grand scene of the former paulownia city, and in its heyday, it is said that there are thousands of paulownia trees, and there are countless phoenixes perched on it.

It's a pity that now things are not people, the phoenix forest was burned to ashes many years ago, and it has not been restored until now, and those legendary phoenixes are also gone.

Before going out to war, he came to this old splendor with countless legends because Su Junyan had promised one person one thing.

"Do me a favor. ”

The man who had turned into the stars in the sky.

The man who was ignorant in his life, but at the last moment of his life, pinned all his hopes on him all his life.

"Do you have any dreams?"

Su Junyan thought of Adam at this moment.

On this morning dawn, outside the bleak phoenix forest, I watched the ashes of the trees that had grown for thousands of years condense into dust.

I remembered that, the ancestor of the demon seed.

At this moment, Su Junyan suddenly felt that he was extremely lucky, even happy.

Even if his life is extremely bumpy.

Even if there are many difficulties and dangers along the way.

Even if he had to be pushed forward in the river.

But at least, he can still go far, and he can still do what he wants to do.

And that man, he can only be a dim star.

"Have a chance to go back to Tongmu City and plant a phoenix tree for me. ”

Su Junyan didn't know if he insisted on coming to Tongmu City, whether it was because there was the man's residual soul in his body that drove him.

But it was true that when he stood in front of the ruins of the Phoenix Forest, he was suddenly moved.

Inexplicably moved.

It's like seeing the shadows of countless dead paulownia trees, swaying again in the early morning, and like seeing those phoenixes many years ago, the soul returns.

Or, the soul who has been away from home for many years has finally returned to the land of his dreams, returned to his roots, and reunited with his long-lost brother.

Su Junyan dug up the soil, planted a seed of phoenix wood, and solemnly buried it, like burying the bones of the man named Adam.

It seems that he has buried all his thoughts about his future life.

If you can come back, I'd love to see you grow into a towering tree.

If I have more time, I really want to see the grand scene of the paulownia tree becoming a forest in the future.

At that time, was it too old to walk?

"Let's go. Su Junyan got up suddenly, took a deep breath, and then turned around and strode forward.

Far away from him is the Central Royal City.

April 30, 231 year in the New World calendar.

Su Junyan, the king of the north, led an army of 50,000 people and set out from Tongmu City, and the troops pointed directly at the central royal city.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The news of Su Junyan's army crushing the realm reached the Central Royal City as quickly as possible.

Compared with the previous panic, the current Central Wangcheng is completely rumored.

Completely abandon all territory in the east, and the defensive line shrinks to the central royal city.

This is the signal for a decisive battle.

No one will fail to understand the significance of this signal.

In the event of failure, humanity could really perish.

Everyone began to desperately try to escape from the city, which countless people had to squeeze into before.

Even if the city's defense is strong, it is the highest on the mainland.

There has never been a record of being breached.

But, the demon seed is really terrifying.

Their record, all the way through, was an impossible victory.

Coupled with the chaos of the entire Central Empire, the military department is dominant, the dictatorship is implemented, and the emperor on the throne in the palace is just a decoration, this series of chaos has made the people have no confidence and trust in this empire.

All are not optimistic about this war, and they all want to escape from the center of this storm that is about to become the most terrifying vortex on the continent.

The good news is that with all the powers of the Eastern Continent shrinking to their heart's content, Winnington no longer controls the inhabitants of Central Kings too strictly.

All of his energy was spent on how to completely turn the continent's largest city into a military fortress.

So he even consciously squeezed the living space of those residents in the city.

In just over half a month, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of residents of the original Central Royal City had fled.

On the other hand, the garrison of the Central Royal City has increased from the original standing army of 50,000 to 150,000.

All kinds of ordnance and materials are already piled up in the Central Royal City.

If you walk down one of the paths in the central royal city, you can see heavily armed soldiers patrolling.

This is already a barrel of explosives filled with magic power explosives, just waiting for Su Junyan to light the lead.

Winnington was so pleased with this that he even changed his daily routine of relaxing in his office facing the Great Round Lake to a view of the increasingly awe-inspiring city from the highest vantage point of the Central Castle.

This is his city, his fortress of war.

The sharpest sword in his hand.

And Su Junyan is the sharpest long knife in his hand, this kind of good play of fighting with his sharpest sword and his sharpest long knife in the past is really exciting when you think about it.

What's more, there is the entire continent as the ultimate bet.

Win or lose, it's a heroic act.

"So, our dear majesty, is there any good news for me lately?" When the enemy army was about to crush the border, Winnington did not care, but asked about something else.

"It seems...... Not at the moment. "The faithful subordinate dutifully reported the latest developments, and it was evident that His Majesty, who was known for his incompetence, had not been able to do anything that would change his fate in the slightest.

"It's okay, to be expected. Winnington was not surprised by this, he lowered his head and opened his pocket watch to look at the time, and then at the sunset that was slowly dyed red in the sky, and said, "Let's go, let's go and meet our long-lost Emperor Majesty, by the way...... It's time to meet old friends, too. ”

"It's the sunset of this empire, and it's the morning of this empire, and no matter what, we're going to be reborn in the ruins, or we'll wake up drunk. Rarely, Winnington recited a poem, and as he looked at the distant sunset, he remembered a man named Artist.

As well, many more old friends.

Su Junyan, we haven't seen each other for a long time.
