The Sith Empire failed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the countries of the mainland heard the news, their hearts finally fell to the bottom.

In fact, when Julien declared war on the Manna court, these countries were still watching the show, and they were eagerly waiting for a battle between the Sith Empire and the Knights of the End, preferably losing both. In this way, they will have much more peace of mind, because it means that the strength of the Knights of the End will be greatly reduced, and the Sith Empire will definitely be hit hard, and there will be no more time and energy to invade other countries, and at that time, peace and freedom will return to the world, what a wonderful thing...... It's a pity that dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The Sith Empire's plan for the three fronts of the Knights of the Last Ground was a complete failure, the Red Fortress fell, and the Sith Empire had to be forced to evacuate their occupied territory, otherwise they would have no place to hide when Yulian choked their throat and came to clean them up. Not only that, but Nahias, the guardian knight known as the shield of the empire, was also seriously injured and lost his right arm, which was not a big blow for the Sith Empire, plus the Sith Empire has now withdrawn to the territory of Orrut for contraction defense, which has also had a very strong impact on the Sith Empire. It's no wonder that the Sith Empire has always thought that their Four Damnations would be invincible, but now, they have been defeated again and again at the hands of the Knights of the Last Days, which is really difficult for many Sith people to accept.

Or rather, they were defeated at the hands of Yuren.

After all, the two injuries of the four generals of the Heavenly Punishment were all done in the hands of Yu Lian.

Sidwig is relatively better, although she hasn't gotten out of bed for months after being beaten by Youlian, but after all, it's just some skin trauma, just recuperate. But Nahias was different, he had an arm cut off and his strength was greatly reduced, which also worried many Sithians.

For Lintilot, the war had just begun, and she was already in a hurry.

Nahias's defeat wasn't all bad, but the news he brought was a headache for everyone -- the twin sisters, who had been using magic all along, had finally shown their natural strength in the battle of the Red Fortress, immortality and immortality, which was simply a level of anti-heaven power. What kind of strength an army that is not afraid of death and has no pain can be, just thinking about it makes people shudder in the depths of their hearts. This is especially true for Seminya, who does not need to think about the source of soldiers at all, as long as she goes to the battlefield, some soldiers will use it for her -- after all, it is impossible to live without death in war.

It is naturally not a good thing for the Sith Empire that the other party has such power, but at the moment they have no way to do anything. Because after the Sith Empire withdrew, Judy led the Dragon Knights to occupy the Red Fortress, apparently to rebuild it as a choke point. As their backup, the Bird family and the Zack family each sent 5,000 soldiers to help defend, and they also knew very well that if the red fortress was not lost, then their defensive pressure would be much less, so they all put a lot of effort into it.

In fact, the withdrawal of the Sith Empire this time is not all bad for the two families. Because with the withdrawal of the Sith Empire, the land they originally occupied was naturally vacant, and the original owners of those lands had naturally been killed, so they were naturally in a state of leaderlessness at the moment. Therefore, after discussing privately with the Zack family and the Byrd family, they decided to divide the situation and build another line of defense on the joint border. Of course, they also know that according to the agreement, the Knights of the End will not help them defend here, but these two families are not stupid, the biggest reason why they occupy this land is also the same as the Twilight Forest, they need a strategic buffer zone, after all, in this way, they can respond and prepare as soon as possible when they are attacked again, and it will not be like this time, the Sith Empire soldiers have no time to prepare for anything when they come to the city, only to ask grandpa to tell grandma to wait for the rescue of the Knights of the End and the protection of Holy Mana.

For the two families, it's a collaborative effort. The Zack family is a military family, who has practiced martial arts from generation to generation, and also has a lot of military talents, and more importantly, they are often fighting and have a lot of experience. The Byrds, on the other hand, have a lot of wealth and can easily get more soldiers and resources, but they lack officers with actual combat experience.

Therefore, after the invasion of the Sith Empire, the patriarchs of the two families sent representatives to negotiate and made a decision, the Bird family would prepare some military resources for the Zack family, and the Zack family would send some officers to the Bird family to help them train soldiers. Although, in general, the cooperation between the two great nobles is always guarded against one hand. But for now, both sides knew that this kind of small action would not do them any good, because no matter which side was calculated, they had to worry about the existence of the Knights of the End.

In fact, many people themselves are unaware that a small country has actually been established around the Bird family and the Zach family around the Twilight Forest. And the Knights of the Last Yan are the center of the country, and Yuren is the uncrowned king. What's more, after the retreat of the Sith Empire, many of the territorial masters who originally belonged to West also had their own thoughts, and they wrote letters one after another, hoping to be accepted by the Knights of the Last Yan and the two nobles. After all, the current Westster Kingdom is in chaos, and everyone wants to find a strong backer, and in their opinion, the Knights of the End are the biggest backer.

However, the two nobles were not without losses, although this time in the face of the attack of the Sith Empire, the Knights of the Final Yan took the initiative to attack and did not get the requirements of the two families, but then Yulian still recorded these two times in their three aids, which was really a tragedy for the two families. The Zach family, in particular, had already made an invitation to prevent their territory from being invaded. Now it has been added again, and it turns out that there is only one last chance to ask for assistance. This also made the Zack family determined to build their own defense line well, good steel must be used on the blade, in case something serious happens again, what if the Knights of the End do not help?

And for Yulen, the victory also lived up to his expectations. At present, there is no country on the continent that has any hope of challenging the Knights of the End, even the four horsemen of the Sith Empire's Damnation can only retreat from the attack of the Knights of the End, and even connect the two of them to be injured, they are still gifted knights! The gifted knights can't handle it, aren't these ordinary people even more lifeless? And according to the information they have obtained, the Knights of the Finality have not suffered the slightest casualties, but the Sith Empire has thousands of casualties, and this kind of record can be understood if the gifted knights are ordinary people. After all, Lintillot had done something similar before. But now it's a gifted knight to a gifted knight, in terms of strength, the number of the Knights of the End is also less than that of the Sith Empire, and in the end, it is still like this, the four talented knights of the Sith Empire are all dispatched, and they can't even break into the sphere of influence of the Knights of the End, and the fortress is taken away by the other party?

For many countries, this is undoubtedly the end of the day.

Holy grace is above, how can there be such an unreasonable force.

If it were anyone else, then these countries could also pin their hopes on the Society of Priests and the Church of Holy Grace. But the problem is the Knights of the End, and the Mage Guild can't count on it. Church of Grace has been beaten like a dog by the Knights of the Last Grace in history, although many of the high-ranking people in the Church of Grace have openly and secretly declared their revenge on the Knights of the Last Grace, but as long as you look at the tragic record in their history, no country will still have faith in them. It is more reliable to count on them than to expect the sow to go up the tree.

Yuren got what he wanted, and the good news didn't stop there, and when he returned to Twilight Castle, a delighted Shelly brought him even better news, and Offariel finally woke up.

Of course, this was good news for Julien, who immediately went to the room where Ofariel was, and asked the twin sisters to examine her body carefully, but the results of the examination were somewhat memorable--according to Messiah and Semiya, Ofariel's body was no different from before, so no noticeable changes were found.

That is, the possibility of potential changes in the surname is there.

This is bad news, because no one knows what happened to O'Faryl during his coma. But for now, it's not bad. So when the examination was over, the twin sisters left the room, and Shirley went back to her room to rest - she hadn't closed her eyes for a long time to take care of O'Fariel, and now that the person she was caring for had finally woken up, Shirley felt quite satisfied.

Soon, the bedroom, which had been a bit noisy, was quiet again. Only Julien and O'Fariel remained.

The two of them looked at each other, and after a long time, Yulian showed a smile.

"Welcome back, O'Fariel. ”

"I'm back, Lord Yuren. ”

O'Faryl replied with the same smile, much to the satisfaction of Yuren, who nodded and sat down in the chair next to him.

"You know what? A patient has been unconscious for so long, and at this time we should ask, how is your body, do you want to eat something, or take a rest......... But ........."

"It's a pity that my body isn't so romantic. ”

Of course, O'Faryl knew what Yuren was referring to, if it was an ordinary person, it would naturally be like that, but unfortunately she was a soul body, so she didn't need to eat and sleep to replenish her energy at all, so even if she lay down for so many days, for O'Faryl herself, it was no different from sleeping - it was a little longer.

This made O'Faryl make a small joke as well, and then she sighed softly and went back on talking.

"Frankly, I didn't think I could come back, Lord Yuren. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Ofariel's words, Yulian was not surprised, after all, he was already mentally prepared for this.

"In fact, until now, I haven't figured out why I was able to come back. ”

Oddalyl smiled wryly at this, and then she was silent for a moment before she raised her head again and looked at Yuren seriously.

"Lord Yuren, I want to ask you a question, I hope you can give me an answer. ”

"What's the problem?"

Yulian raised his eyebrows, but the next moment, his face sank.

"Sheila. ”

O'Faryl said the name slowly.

"Lord Yuren, I would like to know about the matter between you and her. ”

“............ Where did you get the name? ”

Yuren's tone didn't change, but O'Faryl keenly felt that the atmosphere in the room had dropped to freezing point at this moment. However, instead of panicking, she calmly told Yuren about everything she had encountered in her dream, including everything she had seen afterwards.

"I know it's your business, Yuren-sama, I have nothing to do with it. But, I thought, maybe that's why I was able to wake up from that dream, and I think maybe I made a decision, but now frankly, I don't know what that decision was. So, I hope you can tell me the answer. ”

O'Faryl said the last sentence quietly, and then she looked at Yuren without saying a word.

And Yu Lian smiled after being silent for a long time.

"I really didn't expect that I would still be left behind so long ago, and I thought that maybe I had forgotten it all a long time ago, but now it doesn't seem to be the case. ”

He shook his head, and Offariel noticed that the face that had always been full of leisurely and relaxed was now a little more tired.

"Ofaril, since you said you saw that scene, I have a few questions for you...... Did you notice what she's wearing?"

"This ..............."

Hearing Yuren's inquiry, Ofaril frowned and began to remember.

“...... Very weird costumes...... It looks a bit like armor, but it's not very much like ......... No, it should be said...... I don't know much about it, but it feels like it's magic. It's a bit like Miss Haren's feelings, but it seems to be a little more serious than Miss Haren. ”

"It's called the Soul Build, and it's a protective armor powered by the power of Mana. ”

Julien gave the answer.

"It doesn't have any special requirements, as long as you have basic training, then anyone can use this equipment, and its effect is ...... Well, in the present division, there is no problem with the high-level level. ”

“......... Are you saying that as long as you wear that, you have high-level strength?"

Hearing this, Ofariel's eyes widened in surprise.

"Why haven't I ever heard of such a handy piece of equipment?"

"Because that was a long time ago. ”

Yuren waved his hand, and then he was silent for a moment.

"I destroyed them all with the Knights of the End, including the people who created them. ”

“.................. Lord Yuren?"

"Remember the story I told you about the First Age?"

“......... Yes, my lord, I remember. I remember you said that the people of that time did not have the power we have now, and could only use Manna with the help of external forces, and then those of us who could drive Manna with our own power appeared one after another, and they attacked us because they were afraid of us. And after a long battle, we eliminated them. ”

"Yes, that's it. ”

In response to Ofariel's answer, Yuren nodded in satisfaction, but he quickly raised a finger.

"But it's not the only thing, don't you think it's strange?O'Fariel, although they are indeed full of fear for people like us, but we are not the only one, dragons, elves, these are all races that have lived with humans for a long time, and they are also full of power that humans do not have, but have you seen when humans exterminated the elves?

"This............ Not really. ”

Hearing this, Offariel was stunned for a moment, now that I think about it, it is true, although it is possible that human beings may be afraid of those with special powers, but from another point of view, it will not reach the point where they must be killed, look at those mages and gifted knights now, all of them have the power that ordinary people do not have, but the countries of the continent did not say that they would unite to eliminate all these people with extraordinary human strength, on the contrary, they still respect them very much, is it true that people and ideas a long time ago are different from now?

"The people of the First and Second Ages fought for the right reasons, but the main reason was wrong, because we made them do it. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Ofaril was slightly stunned, and didn't seem to understand what Yulian meant.

"Lord Yuren, I don't understand what you mean.........

In other words, the hatred of the first age towards the people of the second age is spread by us. ”

As he spoke, Yulian pointed to himself and then to the door.

"I, Messiah, Semia, we did it. In order to make those people hate the people of the Second Age, in order to create rifts and even wars between them...... Well, when I think about it now, it was really hard, and the trust between people is sometimes stronger than expected, and it is really difficult to destroy this relationship, but fortunately in the face of anger and fear, this relationship is more fragile. ”

"For ...... Why?"

O'Faryl didn't understand why Yuren was doing this, and she sat there dumbfounded, staring at the man in front of her, not knowing what to say.

"Because I have to kill all the people of the First Age, but this kind of thing is too difficult for me alone, so I need someone to help. ”

Yulian spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, as if he thought it was just an ordinary job like a construction project.

"No, I mean ........."

"I know what you mean. ”

Yuren interrupted O'Faryl, clasping his hands together and curling the corners of his mouth slightly.

"But before I do that, I'm going to ask you a question, Miss O'Faryl. What do you know about nature's relationship?"

“...... Nature's Relationship?"

"When a person eats food, he or she gives himself the strength to survive, and at the same time he removes the waste, which is buried in the soil and becomes nourishment for the plant. And when people die, they also rot in the dirt and become part of a new life. Can you understand this?"

"This ...... I can still understand that. ”

It's not that O'Fariel is without knowledge of this, although what Yuren said is a bit vulgar, but she can still understand the relationship in this regard, but she doesn't know, what does this have to do with what Yuren did?

"So, if all life in this world does not excrete after eating, and cannot return to the earth after death, then do you think that the nature that grows on their nutrients still has a chance to live?"

"Of course it's impossible, without nutrients, plants can't grow, right?"

"Exactly. ”

Yulian nodded in satisfaction, and then he spoke.

"That's why I'm going to kill all the First Generation. ”

"Huh?"

O'Faryl was truly stunned this time.

"I told you before, the people of the first age are not like the second age, we now use Manna through their own power, they have their own method, this method can make each of them even if they do not have the talent, they can still obtain the power of using Manna, but this method has a fatal flaw, that is, the Manna consumed by their device will not return, that is, after being used by them, Manna will disappear. Not now, Offariel, now that we use Mana, it is true that we consume some of our energy, but most of it will go back after it is consumed. You should be well aware of this, after all, your Phantom caste can feel this change. ”

"Yes, Lord Yuren. ”

Hearing this, Ofariel nodded.

"If we use a numerical analogy, if the number of a piece of Manna is five, we take three for consumption, and eventually we will leave one and return to the total amount of Manna. This is because we ourselves are made up of manna, and we can communicate with them and use our own inner power. But the people of the first age are different, although their souls also belong to Mana, but they cannot feel and use this power, so when a piece of Mana called five is placed in front of them, they take three for consumption, then they consume three of them, and there will be no return. ”

"This ..............."

Hearing this, Ofaryl's heart moved.

"What do you mean ............"

"That's right, as you think, O'Farel, if they continue like this, then soon, all the Manna in this world will disappear, and at that time, whether it is humans, animals, plants, or even all life, will perish. So, you should know better than me which option is more advantageous than destroying the whole world or killing most of humanity. ”

“.....................”

Offariel opened her mouth, but didn't speak, and frankly, she did admit that if it was as Julien had said, then he was doing the right thing. But what O'Fariel couldn't understand was why Julien, why he was doing this, was he trying to be a savior? O'Fariel didn't think so, but she still didn't understand what Yuren was doing for himself.

"If you resent me for drawing innocent people into the war, then I don't deny it, but I want to make one thing clear to you, O'Fariel, those people are not innocent people, I just guided them and did what they had to do. ”

"This ...... I beg my pardon for not being able to understand it, Lord Yuren. What you said before is your personal point of view anyway, and it should have nothing to do with those who were born later, the second generation. Maybe they don't think like you do?"

O'Faryl had hoped that Yuren would answer her questions, but now, she suddenly found that her questions had not decreased, but had increased.

"It's true, it's my problem, it has nothing to do with them. But why don't you think about it, Offariel, since the humans of the First Age were able to use those devices to obtain Manna and use their powers. So, why are so many people born later who have the ability to communicate with Manna on their own and don't need to use devices?"

Saying this, Yu Lian narrowed his eyes and revealed a cold smile.

"Because it's not their choice, it's Mana's choice. They were born in response to Mana's call to exterminate the humans of the First Age. ”
