Chapter 1: Who to fight for
The night is quiet. The breeze blows lightly in the www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion, the leaves that have been swaying and colliding for a day are tired at this time, the flowers that are competing in full bloom are also bent down tiredly, and the birds that are flying and chirping finally return to their nests. When everything is silent, the sky and the earth are empty and vast, and only the lonely moon stares at the dark and boundless night from afar. Nature is immersed in a deep dream, quietly giving birth to an unrestful dawn, while also ignoring some dark things......
In the middle of the night, Afra stood in the hall of the castle, surrounded by darkness, although there were a few torches lit here. She held a little girl in her hand and stood quietly in the middle of the hall, as if waiting for something. At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps woke up Afra's keen hearing, "Little Lisa, you wait here for a while, and my sister will send you away in a while." ”
At this time, the little girl next to her waved her hand unnaturally, and Afra squatted down when she saw this, patting her little head, "You are not safe here, because of your affairs, Izzy and Sister Yanna have quarreled, didn't you see it just now, how fierce they quarreled." Afra sighed as she said this.
After a while, seeing that the little girl was motionless, Afra slowly stood up, "Little Lisa, be obedient, wait here, I'll go see if they come to pick you up." Afra got up and walked towards the door inside the castle.
At the moment when Afra left, Szamblin, who had already come to the door, rushed in from the gate quickly, and before Afra could come back to his senses, he pulled out his long sword and cut down the little girl with a sword, and suddenly a thick red blood spilled around her, and the little girl fell down in a pool of blood without saying a word.
In the blink of an eye, Afra sprang up and kicked Schanbolin, who took two quick steps back. After that, Afra did not pursue him, but squatted down and hugged the little girl in the pool of blood tightly, "Lisa!" I don't know when Yanna walked in from the castle, and when she saw this scene, she immediately sat down on the ground with a frightened face.
"What have you done...... Yanna said as she sat on the ground in disbelief, only to see Szhan Bolin standing in place with a bloodstained sword in her hand, "I'm sorry, I just did what Lord Izzy ordered. "Izzy......" Yeona shouted Izzy's name desperately with wide open eyes at this time, and crawled to Afra's side......
Just as Schanbolin sneaked into the castle hall, Gaudian stepped out of the dark street with a sword in hand. When he saw that Schanbolin had rushed in, he raised his arm and spun it around twice quickly, only to see countless Coldlight Guardians coming from all directions.
At Gaudian's signal, he quietly led several officers to the door of the castle hall. The officer pressed his body against the door, looked inside through the hidden door, and saw that Szamblin had drawn his long sword, he was about to draw his sword and rush in, but he didn't expect Gaudian to stop him, seeing Gaudian shaking his head silently, he thought that Szhambolin had some order, so he had to stand in place and quietly watch everything inside.
"I'm sorry, ladies, but this is Lord Izzy's orders, don't say it's mine. Lord Izzy may give a death order and secretly execute the families of the rebels, and he will not say anything. Schanbolin said solemnly, raising his hand and saluting Yanna.
Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, the gate to the castle opened, and Izzy and Faense and Tiara stepped out. Behind them, countless soldiers walked in one after another, and they drew their long swords and held torches, and for a time surrounded Szhambolin.
Izzy spread out his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and slowly walked towards Schanbolin, "Lord Boleyn, I have never given such an order. Looking at Izzy's appearance, and Yeona sitting on the ground crying bitterly. He hesitated for a moment, hurriedly withdrew his long sword, clasped his hands, and saluted Izzy, "Yes, my lord, that's right, I did this alone, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Izzy-sama." ”
At this time, Schanbolin seemed to be deferential to Izzy, and he knew that doing so would definitely destroy the relationship between Yanna and Izzy, and they would fall into a situation of chaos without a fight. Just when Schanbolin was satisfied with his plan, in the dark corner of the hall, Cedric walked out with a dance step, crouched near the little girl's pool of blood, smiled like a mask at the corner of his mouth, and gently dipped the blood on the ground and licked it into his mouth.
Szambolin was startled, and hurriedly drew his weapon, "Ahh Izzy slammed him out, but he was still immersed in his seamless plan. "Your Excellency, is this?".
"You're an officer, but you're killing innocents, even young children, you're a real demon!" Izzy snapped at Schanbolin, his fierce voice heard not only by everyone in the hall, but also by those outside the hall.
"My lord, didn't you ask me to do this?" Schanbolin stared at Yanna and made an innocent appearance. Without waiting for Izzy to speak, Cedric smiled and took the little girl from Yanna's hand and threw it at Schanbolin's feet.
I saw a little girl with blurred flesh and blood, covered in sticky blood, and her exposed arm was sewn with needles and threads, which turned out to be a puppet. Szhan Bolin was suddenly startled and hurriedly drew his long sword, but his mind was indeed flexible, and he hurriedly changed his words, "My lord, what does this mean, you asked me to come, and now it has become a fake again, how can you go back on your word!".
"Don't pretend!Szmbolin, it's all our people here, and no one will believe your nonsense. Tiara shouted, and the surrounding soldiers raised their swords towards Szambolin, and the hall instantly filled the hall with a thick murderous aura.
Seeing this, Szambolin sneered, and changed his previous face, "Hehe, your people, do you think you can stop our Cold Light Guards just by relying on these traitors?" At this time, Izzy slowly picked up Yanna, who was sitting on the ground, and glanced at the arrogant Szambolin with contempt, "You can't stop them, but you can at least stop them." ”
"Do you think they're going to be unmoved? I'm telling you, you're done, you know, it's game over. When Lord Nevedon arrives, you will die without a place to bury. "At least you won't be able to wait for that day. Izzy didn't seem to look at him directly, and said without caring at all, which made Szamblin even angrier.
At this time, Cedric walked up to him with a smile and said in a low voice, "Lord Boleyn, when you die, we will take over your army, and even if Nivendon fights, we will have thousands of people to resist......" Before he could finish speaking, Szhan Bolin pushed him away.
"Joke, what right do you have to command my troops?" Schanbolin questioned, sword in hand. At this time, Izzy took Yanna by the hand and looked at him, a pair of narrow eyes like willow leaves, gradually becoming deep and cold, the slightly upturned corners of the mouth and the scar, on the serious face, suddenly became terrifying.
"What right?...... I'll tell you now, let's talk about small things first, you can kill even young children, it can be seen that you are no different from Kurad, and you don't have any talent to command battles on the battlefield, and you are also ruthless to the soldiers, if the soldiers are in your hands, even if you die in battle, there is no glory at all. ”
Hearing this, Szhan Bolin laughed out loud, "Izzy, I am ruthless? The army is the army! Do you think this is a play house, haha, you might as well let me teach you now, I am a symbol of power in the army, what I ask the soldiers to do, they must do it, even if the soldiers are sent to death, then they must carry it out, this is the foundation of the army, only by establishing authority, you can become an officer, and the purpose of ruthlessness is to establish this authority." Ten people are fighting, and only one person is in command, and the whole command is not chaotic. ”
Schanbolin's words suddenly made the surroundings quiet, and what he said did have a certain truth. Then Izzy laughed, "Lord Szambolin, it seems that you have a good military education, but I have another philosophy, that is, family, and I will fight for my family. Speaking of this, Izzy glanced at Yanna beside him kindly, as well as the partners around him.
"Although we are not related by blood, we have all fought side by side, which gives us a relationship that is better than family, I call my brothers family, they are also flesh and blood, they have their own lives, we should fight for the same goal, not to persecute them, let them shed blood for us, for the good of the lord, we have the right to choose who to fight for......"
Izzy's voice echoed steadily and deeply in the hall, so that everyone could hear it, and they could also feel the sense of belonging and honor in their hearts, which made them immersed in it, and they couldn't extricate themselves, after all, they had been in the army of Coolard for a long time, and every day under the oppression of those officers, they got that pitiful silver coin.
However, since the surrender of Izzy, instead of being punished in any way because he was a rebel, he has received a considerable salary, which in the whole of Sapro there is no better army than the disciplined army of the Knights of the Starry Night. So most of them voluntarily followed the Dawn Crusade. When Izzy finished speaking, they shouted in unison, and shouted the name of the Dawn Crusade.
After the cacophony, Szambibolin sneered again, "Izzy, look at how naïve your own words are, your words will only deceive these surrendered fools." "It's not a lie, what have you done for the soldiers?" Unexpectedly, Izzy's rhetorical question was a little too much for him to answer.
He hurriedly wanted to divert the topic, "We, the Guardians of the Cold Light, only fight for the glory of Lord Nevandon, and even if we sacrifice ourselves, we will not be shaken by it. Hearing this, Izzy smiled again, "Lord Szambolin, let me tell you about the current situation, since we took the Prado, the Black Prince's army of Starry Night Knights has been targeting Nivandon, I think you have also received his letter, do you know why he didn't let you kill me? What you are afraid of is that there will be a war between me and him, and you have become insignificant now, even if you kill you, Nivendon will not take revenge on me, what do you think at this moment?"
"Hmph, Izzy, don't forget, the Coldlight Guards are still in my hands, they are acting on my orders, by the way, you asked me before, how long will the battle of five hundred and nine hundred men take......" Schanbolin said this, looked around, and said with a smile, "As far as you fools now, I can tell you very responsibly that as soon as my Coldlight Guardian rushes in, I can bloodied here in an instant." Since you can reign supreme in Prado, I can take your place. ”
"Lord Boleyn, didn't you just say that you would have to fight for the honor of Lord Nevandon?" Cedric asked with a wicked grin, but Szhan Bolin raised his eyebrows again and put on a domineering look. "Before coming here, I had the Coldlight Guardians surround this place, and now that you are dead to me, it is better for me to let you die a little more clearly. After your death, I will continue to lead the army of the Coldlight Guard here, and although I nominally obey the command of Nevandon, I can still live the life of a lord here. ”
As he spoke, Schanbolin took two steps back and shouted. Suddenly, the gate of the castle was pushed open, and Gaudian outside rushed in with the cold light guards. They drew their swords and stood guard at Schanbolin's side. And the Prado soldiers also stood in place, pointing their swords at them, and for a moment the tense atmosphere heated up to the extreme in the spacious hall.
"Why is it so slow, I thought you wouldn't come. Schanbolin stepped back to Gaudien's side and bowed his head and whispered a word of reproach, but Gaudian was silent and nodded awkwardly.
Seeing that his troops had been killed, Szambolin laughed even more arrogantly, "Now look at who is the final winner, you traitors, listen! If you lay down your arms now, I promise not to kill any of them, only Izzy!" he roared loudly, but none of these Prado soldiers were moved, they looked at the Cold Light Guards in front of them vigilantly, and were ready to fight them at any time.
"Szambibolin, have you forgotten what Lord Nevandon's letter says?" Exclamation exclaimed, seeing the urgency of the form before him. At this time, Schanbolin slowly took out the letter and threw it on the ground, "Do you think I will forget Nivandon's handwriting? Don't say that he didn't write it, he wrote it today, and I will kill you too!"
Szambolin was about to swing his sword to attack, but Cedric hurriedly dodged in front of him, and raised his hands in a slightly panicked manner, "Wait!" "What?" "You just said that you are going to be the Lord of Prado, so aren't you tantamount to betraying Nevandon?" Hearing Cedric's question, Szhambolin suddenly realized that he had just lost his words.
"I... I ......" Seeing Schanbolin's nervous look, Cedric smiled even more meaningfully, "That means that you have betrayed these Coldlight Guards, why should they listen to you again." At this moment, Szhan Bolin suddenly slashed at Cedric with a sword, but fortunately Cedric reacted quickly, and he quickly flipped back and dodged the attack.
"I tell you traitors! Listen to me now, you can still live, or I give an order, and none of you will survive today!" Szamblin roared loudly at the Prado soldiers, and at that moment, Gaudian on the side turned his sword and pointed it at Schanbolin's neck.
The surrounding Coldlight Guards saw this scene and hurriedly turned their long swords to Gaudian again. At this time, the chaotic situation made everyone confused. "Gaudian, you have gone back on your word, I have already promised you to be a sergeant of the Cold Light Guard, what else do you want?" He thought that he had already agreed with Gaudian, but he didn't expect Gaudian to turn against him again, and at this time, the cold blade was pressed against his neck, leaving nervous sweat on his forehead.
"Gaudian, lay down your weapons, if the Captain of the Guard takes the slightest damage, we will never let you go!" shouted a Coldlight Guardian excitedly. Cedric smiled again, "Hey, have you forgotten what Schanbolin just said about you? ”
"But I'm the Guardian of the Cold Light!" the officer roared loudly, his eyes were firmly fixed on Gaudian in front of him, hearing this shout, Gaudian slowly put down his long sword, and Szambolin's heart was even more relieved, he thought that Gaudian would hesitate because of this, raised his hand and was about to speak, but before he could speak, Gaudian quickly raised his long sword and slashed at Szhan Bolin "No ......".
The sword slashed hard at Szambolin's neck, and the long sword slashed all the way to the armor behind him, and with a flash of sparks, blood burst out, and in this way, Szambolin's huge body slowly fell down, and a pair of eyes looked at Izzy in horror, until he fell to the ground completely. Gaudian turned around, his sword in hand, and stared at the shocked Coldlight Guards in front of him.
"Gaudian, what have you done......" "Lord Nivedon told us to obey Yuizy for the time being, instead of causing a war, this is Lord Nevandon's letter, you should take a good look!" said Gaudian as he pulled out a crumpled piece of paper and threw it in front of the officer......
At this time, Izzy led everyone to Gaudian's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Brothers, I will never forget that Prado was laid down because of our common efforts. Lord Nevedon also agreed with the Dawn Crusade and asked you to continue to follow me, but I know that we are not like the tyrants of Kurad, and I give you the right to choose, you can choose to continue to follow the Dawn Crusade, or you can choose to leave, but I don't want another person like Szambolin to start a mess ......."
As Izzy waved his hand, those Prado soldiers put away their weapons one after another, and the Coldlight Guards had no choice but to put away their weapons when they saw this, and they all knelt down on one knee, since the matter had come to this, no one would want the war to continue again, and the conversation between Izzy and Szambolin before also made them feel a little, and they all agreed with Izzy's words in their hearts.
For whom, we ourselves have the final say.........
