On the first day of the new year, we will present the latest update to you, and wish you all good luck and success in the New Year!!

"Why, are you going to leave?" said Edred's expression of disappointment.

"Yes, Gabriel and Lucifer are up to the task, and I'll have to go back and talk to Cuthbert about tax reform. Gu Shiyu took out a crystal ball from his bag and handed it to Eldred: "You can keep this thing, I hope it can be used at a critical time." ”

"Isn't that the one you gave to Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine?"

"Yes, but she said she didn't need it anymore and returned it to me. Gu Shiyu sighed slightly.

"This thing needs to have a lot of mind control to be able to use it flexibly. I don't know if I can use it. ”

"You can! Even me, but the distance I can control is very limited. Mind control is what you're good at, and what I'm good at is hand-to-hand combat, and I think you can definitely use it well. ”

"Then I'll keep it!" Eldred carefully put the crystal ball into his bag, still reluctantly holding on: "Guzi, Her Royal Highness the princess is coming back soon, you better wait for her for a few days!"

She ...... Didn't she go to Diya and marry Roland?"

"She won't be in Diya for long!Guzi, I suspect that Her Royal Highness the Princess has another secret to marry Roland, and she will definitely not forget the relationship between you so easily. When she comes back, you might as well have a good talk!"

"Is that still useful?" Gu Shiyu smiled bitterly: "She has become someone else's bride, but I have married another woman!"

Eldred was silent.

"Standwick will leave the funds raised to your Second Corps, but I would like to ask you to send an elite force to protect Gabriel and his party, who will have to travel to every corner of Erathia. ”

Adridrid nodded silently and sent him all the way out of the city.

"Why, you're going to take these two men back with you, it's too dangerous, I'll tell Hart to send a cavalry guard to escort you!" Exclaimed as soon as Eldred saw Gu Shiyu's retinue.

"No!" Gu Shiyu stepped on the horse and said, "No one would be stupid enough to want to sneak attack me, and I wasn't stupid enough to challenge an army alone!"

"Then you must be careful......"

Gu Shiyu looked at Eldred. In the cold winter wind, her clothes seemed to be a little thin and seemed to tremble. In her eyes, Gu Shiyu felt a veined look that only Catherine and Seya would have when they looked at him. Gu Shiyu didn't dare to look more, he turned his horse's head and ran down the mountain.

The three of them traveled under the stars and night, and a few days later came to the foot of the Iron Fist Castle. Before he set foot on the winding road, he heard a loud trumpet of victory in the castle.

"What's going on, are you welcoming me back?" He immediately ran towards the castle.

As soon as he entered the city gates, he saw a neat procession of warriors marching on the King's Road. When asked, it turned out that the two legions led by Kendall had returned triumphantly from Dia.

It turned out that it was not to welcome me, but to welcome Kendall! This made Gu Shiyu a little disappointed.

He went to the Capitol first. Cuthbert wasn't there, only his assistants were busy.

"Your Royal Highness, are you looking for the Prime Minister, he has gone to the palace to submit a bill to Her Majesty the Queen for a new tax policy, and you should be able to find him there. ”

"Okay, then you guys are busy!" Gu Shiyu nodded to everyone, and then walked out of the parliament.

To be honest, he was a little reluctant to meet Kendall, and he would get angry when he saw him. But Kendall was like a haunting ghost that appeared in his sight from time to time...... It seems that it will be difficult to escape in this life, unless he braids his hair early.

Kendall was boasting about his remarkable record in the palace.

"Do you know that the 50,000 soldiers brought by the High Priest of Anel from the Isle of Light are also under my command, so that we have 70,000 troops on the Western Front! The old fox of the Duke of Elares may not dare to see me, but he only ordered his son Roland and his new wife Catherine to lead more than 20,000 men on the Eastern Front into battle. The two armies were crushed together, and Somla couldn't parry it at all, so he immediately retracted the entire army, and then fought us under the castle of Sosbanda!"

"But seriously, Eric only had over 20,000 soldiers, but his magic did make me suffer. Fortunately, I let the troops of High Priest Anel rush to the front, and almost all of them died...... Haha! Anel understands, but what can he do? Who told me to be the commander of the Western Route Army?"

"That'...... What about High Priest Eric?" asked Seya worriedly.

"Later, we cleaned up the battlefield and there was no body for Eric. There's no way he's going to be killed, and I've heard that he can use the dimensional gate and run faster than a rabbit!"

"Nearly 100,000 soldiers fighting more than 20,000 soldiers, there is not much honor in such a victory! I hope you will be so brave when you fight Fiona!" Gu Shiyu snorted.

"You'll see how I beat Fiona!" Kendall gave him a blank look.

"You've captured thousands of captives, what are you going to do with them?"

"Send the strong ones to the quarry, and throw the old and sick on the arena and let them fight to death!"

"Father, this is cruel! I don't agree with you doing this!"

"Saya, they are our enemies! I don't have so much bread to feed these old and sick!"

"They didn't invade Erathia, but we attacked them! I don't think they're our enemies!"

"Do you know how much gold you can get us for holding a gladiatorial match?"

"I don't want this kind of money! This kind of money is stained with blood, and it is hateful to hold!"

"Okay then!" Kendall nodded helplessly: "Then they will all be sent to the quarry, and how long they can live depends on their creation!"

"Sister...... Is she okay?" asked Seya after a moment's hesitation.

"She and Prince Roland are leading Dia's 10,000 reinforcements to Standwick!" said the Queen Mother: "Dia is no longer at war now, and as allies, they must do something." ”

Ah, they went to Standwick, did they miss them on the way? Gu Shiyu felt a little sorry, but he felt lucky. If he ran into Catherine and Roland on the way, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

"Guzi, is Standwick's business done?"

Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "Gabriel, they are very capable, I'm relieved!"

"What are you doing in Standwick?" said Kendall glaring at Gu Shiyu.

"I'm going to make bonds, what's wrong?!" Gu Shiyu said angrily.

"If you dare to sneak up to her, beware of me breaking your legs!"

"You don't care where I'm going, who I'm going to meet! If you want to do it, come ahead, maybe who's going to break someone's leg!"

"Oh, why do you two have to pinch each other as soon as you meet?" the Queen Mother shouted: "Kendal, you have just come back, you better go and have a good rest! We still have to discuss tax reform with Cuthbert!"

"Saiya, Queen Mother, Cuthbert, you should discuss first! I just came back, and I'm a little tired!"

"Then you go and rest first!" Seya looked at Gu Shiyu and said, "I...... I'll come to you later......"

Although lying on the bed, Gu Shiyu did not feel sleepy at all.

Eric was still defeated by the coalition forces gathered by the Holy Light Island! Gu Shiyu felt very ashamed of this person who had helped him.

He wanted to help him, but he couldn't.

Compared to the harsh reality, his personal abilities are really insignificant.

The crystal ball in his arms suddenly vibrated a little. He immediately rolled over and got up.

Who would want to talk to him? He only had five crystal balls in total, and he kept one for himself, one for Eldred, Ressa, Yoland, and Melind.

They are quite far away from him, even the closest to him, Adridrid is a few days away from him, who has such a strong mind control ability?

He pulled out the crystal ball, and in the crystal ball there was a person he least expected

Who?

Eric, the former High Priest of the Holy Light Island!

"Hello, High Priest!"

"Your Excellency the Chosen One, haven't you forgotten me?"

"When I was on the Holy Light Island, I received your selfless help! I and Saiya are both very concerned about you, but please understand, it was not our original intention to send troops to Dia, this is an agreement that Kendal has reached with the Holy Light Island a long time ago, and the power of the Holy Light Island is too strong for us to stop!" Gu Shiyu stammered.

"Well, I don't blame you...... Even if I didn't have Kendall to help in the battle, I wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of the Holy Light Island! I'm here to ask you to do me a favor! Can we meet and talk?"

"Where are you? I'll be right here!"

"I'm in the campfire camp under Tekken Castle. ”

"You wait for me!"

Gu Shiyu found Eric by the creek that surrounded the grove outside the castle.

A year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Eric's beard has become much whiter and more messy. He was draped in a tattered blanket that shielded him from the dazzling light of his white-robed shaman.

"Your Excellency the High Priest, ......" Gu Shiyu couldn't help but have a sour nose when he saw that the Holy Light Island Banquet, which had infinite scenery in the past, had fallen into such a desolate appearance.

"I didn't misread you!" Eric sighed.

What do you mean? Is it that when I saw Gu Shiyu, I was so sad that I was about to cry, or did I not see him lead his troops to fall into the well?

"Tell me, as long as I can help you, I won't excuse myself!"

"I followed Kendall to Castle of Iron Fist. You should know that he captured nearly 5,000 of my soldiers! Those are the soldiers I brought out of my hometown, and I can't watch them hanged under the gallows of Ironfist Castle!"

"I already know what Kendall is arranged. His original intention was to slaughter each other in the arena of the old and the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the young and strong to go to the quarry. Saiya disagreed with this and argued with him. Kendall later relented and promised to send them all to the quarry. ”

"Have you ever been to the quarry?"

"No ......"

"It is a hell on earth! Every evil imaginable will be born there! No one will live there with any dignity, but will struggle helplessly under hunger, sickness, and whips, and finally die like a dog, and his bones will be abandoned in the wilderness!"

"Are you trying to find a way to keep them from going to the quarry?"

"Yes! They went to the quarry, but in a different way, but they died more slowly and painfully. I beg of you, the Chosen One, to help them, to defend the Great Wall of the Snowy Plains in the north, and let them die with dignity like warriors!"

"I promise you, I will find a way to let them go to the Great Wall of the North!" Gu Shiyu said as he stroked his chest.

Eric's eyes looked into the far north. He sighed, "Do you remember the prophet on the island of Light?"

"I remember him! Is he okay?"

"He's okay...... He had already prophesied that the twelve undead legions of the Grim Reaper Bellerion would break through the Great Wall of the North, and the earth would be shrouded in darkness and cold!"

"Oh my God!" Gu Shiyu gasped: "Twelve undead legions?!One of his legions almost captured Diada 6! Did the prophet foresee that the undead army of the god of death Bellerion would attack in that direction?"

"Not in any direction, but in the whole world!"

The southern part of Erathia is the Hell Demon Legion of Fiona, and if the north is caught by the undead legion again, Erathia will not escape the bad luck of being destroyed!

"Your Excellency, do you have any suggestions?"

"The Great Wall of Ice and Snow in the north can't stop the army of the undead! The deadliest threat to Erathia is in the north! Although the defenses there are strong, there is no army to garrison them, so it can be said that they are useless!"

"Tanan has already led troops to help defend the Great Wall of Ice and Snow......"

Eric smiled wryly, "Tanan is one of the few people in this world who remains awake. Nearly 10,000 kilometers of the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, he only has more than 10,000 people, and only one soldier can be assigned to each kilometer......"

"I'll go and convince Saya and Kendall!" Gu Shiyu took a deep breath.

"The worst and most terrible thing is that everyone in the world is drunk and sober! The Presenters of Erathia, Aveli and Blanccada are waiting for others to defend the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, but they have forgotten their own responsibilities!" Eric looked up to the sky and sighed: "O people who are content with the status quo and greedy for pleasure, when will you be able to see farther and wider? If you continue to deceive and intrigue for a little bit of Lil, and ignore the impending disaster, sooner or later you will pay a terrible price for it!"

"Your Excellency, what are your plans?, if possible, I would like to ask you to stay with me and listen to your teachings at all times!"

"You already know what you should do!" Eric looked at Gu Shiyu seriously and said, "Do what you think you should do!" I will accompany Tanan to garrison the Great Wall in the north and try to delay the attack of the undead army......

"If the Holy Light Island learns that you are on the Great Wall of the North, will they give up?" asked Gu Shiyu worriedly.

"That is the best refuge for sinners in the world! They will atone for their sins with their lives...... No one is going to pursue a person who is looking for death, and that's probably the only place I should be......"

"You are an upright and wise man! I am so sorry for the injustice you have suffered!"

"Everything that happened to me was self-inflicted! Everything has a cause and effect, and my mistake was to see Sandru wrong! So, I have tried not to think about what others have done to me, maybe this is my karma!"

"Your Excellency the High Priest, I would like to know why Erathia is not guarded by an archangel? I remember that when I was competing on the Holy Light Island, all the human castles on the Holy Light Island could build a city in the clouds, so that the castle could be protected by the glory of the angels!"

"This is Kendall's masterpiece!" Eric snorted coldly, "He is a person who is extremely disrespectful to the gods, and that's why the gods have abandoned Erathia!"

"Do you think there really is a god in this world?" Gu Shiyu's atheistic view was once again challenged.

"Of course there is! The suffering that this world is about to face may be God's punishment for us!"

“...... What should I do to get the Archangels to return to Erathia again?" asked Gu Shiyu tentatively.

"Do you remember the tall snowy mountains on the border of Dia and Erathia?"

"Yes......"

"That mountain range, called the Alps in the ancient epics, had many temples dedicated to the gods. You go there and find a way to show your devotion and respect, and perhaps convince the gods to change their minds. ”

Oh my God, is that mountain really called the Alps?!

In other words, your understanding of the world is completely correct?!

Yes, so far, he is completely sure that he fell into the dimensional gate, and did not travel to other planets, but only a limited time and a limited place!

"I'll make them change their minds!" Gu Shiyu puffed up his chest.

"Take care, Chosen One, save the world, save the world!" Eric hugged him, and walked away alone.

Looking at Eric's distant figure, Gu Shiyu suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders.

Yes, since I have come to this world, I must do something for this world!

With so many people trusting myself so much, how can I shirk my responsibilities and fall into the love of my children!

Merely......

Alas...... Could it be that Princess Catherine can see wider and farther than I do?

I really don't understand, I'm just the most mediocre of the world I'm in, how could you choose me to be the chosen one to save the world?

It stands to reason that you should pick one person from the United States of America out and fall into the pit...... What they love most is to save the world, so why pick me......

Gu Shiyu was stunned when he suddenly heard a deafening explosion from the castle above his head!

Is it the speed of sound propagation, or the speed of shock wave propagation?

But one thing is for sure, the location of the explosion is not very far away from yourself!

Oh my God, what happened to Tekken Castle?!

Gu Shiyu stepped on the horse's back and galloped towards the castle!
