【Chapter 23】The Remaining Flames
Tiara used the dagger to cut the branch into a thin needle, but this made the eyes of Izzy on the side shudder, "What are you doing here? Do you think that sharpness can pierce the flesh? Or let's go back and talk, Tiara, hey, I can hold on......" Izzy questioned loudly and incessantly, but Tiara didn't care at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After looking at her masterpiece, she nodded in satisfaction and threaded the long thread she had tied on the wooden needle. She glanced meaningfully at Izzy lying on her side, but there was a sense of revenge in her eyes that she had never felt before, "Izzy, you have to hold on." "That's enough, Tiara, you're taking revenge on me......" Before Izzy could finish, she stabbed the wooden needle into the flesh at the edge of the wound.
But apparently the wooden needle did not pierce it, Izzy suddenly sighed deeply, he had already relaxed, when he saw Tiara pick up the dagger, his mood became tense again, "No......" Tiara ignored Izzy's shouting, clenched the dagger, lightly tapped it on the flesh, and then stabbed the wooden needle into the small pit left by the dagger just now......
Under this great pain, Izzy's face turned pale, he was sweating profusely, and he fainted unconsciously, and it was his best relief to faint at this time. I don't know how long it took for Yiqi to gradually wake up, but the moment he became conscious, the pain in his leg came violently again, but fortunately, after the toss just now, he was gradually numb, and at this time he just gritted his teeth and sat up.
When he saw the wound on his leg that had been stitched up, he was relieved, although it was not perfectly treated, but at least it would not be infected and rotted due to long-term bleeding and tearing, and he also knew in his heart that if it was not treated in time, the whole leg would be useless.
Looking at the blood-stained dagger on the ground and Tiara sitting alone, Izzy suddenly felt a burst of love and pity in his heart. At this time, it was late at night, and the moon hanging high in the sky sprinkled a gentle moonlight, making Tiara's back so beautiful, as if a weak woman, draped in a light veil, exuding a soft light, at this time the golden hair scattered behind the back, although messy, but under the background of the moonlight, everything looked so beautiful and comfortable.
Seeing Tiara holding her legs and her back to her, looking at the full moon in the sky, Izzy rubbed her eyes as if she didn't believe it, but everything around her was still so illusory and ethereal. The pain in his leg had long since paralyzed his nerves, and he no longer seemed so painful, and he showed an extremely embarrassed smile and coughed lightly.
However, Tiara ignored him, still with his back to himself, "Tiara......" Izzy called softly, she finally responded, but only gently turned her head "You're awake...... soft voice and half of the moonlight reflected on the face, which made Izzy not believe what he saw for a while, Tiara at this time was like an angel descending to earth, who would have thought of her ferocity on the battlefield.
"What do you think?" said Izzy, pursing her white lips and looking at her beautiful back. She turned her head back again, and continued to look at the full moon in the sky, enjoying the brief silence, "Izzy, what are you fighting for?" Tiara asked softly, which really made Izzy feel stunned, he had never heard her speak so calmly since he was a child, and that kind of soft voice was so wonderful to Izzy.
"I enjoy fighting to prove my worth, and I don't want to live this life in a hurry, but what I want most is to reach the top with the people around me, plan together, and start a world that belongs to us anew. Izzy finished calmly, but did not get any response from Tiara, which made him a little embarrassed, maybe she didn't understand what she said, but she was telling the truth, and no one would want to be bound by fate.
There was silence for a moment, Tiara's face was sad, but Izzy didn't notice it all behind her, "I can't find a reason to fight, I used to think I was fighting for the people I loved, and now?" "Then you have to learn to love every oppressed person in this world." Izzy said lightly, but it wasn't unreasonable.
But Tiara didn't seem to understand, and took a deep breath "There is no clear goal, I don't want to fight anymore, I have loved, I have been pained, and I am tired......" "I understand, Tiara, this is an extraordinary time, put away our feelings, I don't want this war to be over yet, we will destroy our feelings because we don't have time to take care of it." ”
"Why do you lie to me when you don't love me?" "I didn't lie to you, I just had to take care of the overall situation......" Izzy stopped in the middle of speaking, and when Tiara looked back, he saw that he wanted to stand up, but he fell to the ground because of his numb legs, his face was painful, and in the moonlight, it looked even more defeated.
Seeing this, Tiara got up and hurriedly crouched down beside Izzy, "Does it still hurt?" she asked with concern. Looking at her concerned look, Izzy's heart was not good, after all, he always felt that he owed something to Tiara. He shook his head silently and pursed his dry lips, "I'm thirsty......"
As soon as Izzy finished speaking, Tiara looked around, and there was no water at all, and she was not carrying it, and just as she was about to get up in a hurry, Izzy grabbed her arm, and the moment they looked at each other, he kissed her red lips, which were also dry......
At this moment, the sound of footsteps, accompanied by the fallen leaves swept by the breeze, came from the mighty and continuous sounds, as if the earth was trembling, and the dust on the surface shook slightly at this moment, and if you listened carefully, there were countless sounds of armor colliding. Tiara hurriedly picked up her halberd and stood up in front of Izzy.
Izzy sat on the ground and drew his long knife, braced himself to his feet. After a while, I saw an army coming from a distance, and when the army approached, the two of them were both stunned, only to see that the dress of this army was so familiar, and the one who walked in the front was the thin Yanna.
"Why are you here!" Izzy asked loudly, the expression on his face was not good or bad, just a shocked look. Yeonna, on the other hand, ran forward quickly and hugged Izzy. The moment she hugged Izzy's body, Izzy leaned back slightly.
"What's wrong?" "Lord Izzy, you......'re injured," Tiara said, holding her halberd in her hand, bowing her head. At this time, Izzy shook his body hard, stood still persistently, and looked at Yanna with a smile, "Uh... It's okay, Tiara has cured me for all, why did you come here with the army?"
"I'm worried about you. Yanna said innocently, but Izzy's face instantly sank, "Aidi asked you to come." "No......" "Tell me the truth." Seeing that Izzy had a serious face, Yanna was also a little unhappy, "What's wrong with you, I decided it myself, and I also discussed it with Aidi, she also knows that there is a war now, if we decide to help Nivandon, the strength of the two of you alone is not enough, so I brought the army." ”
Obviously, what Yanna did was wrong, but at this point, he didn't want to blame anyone, but he was even more jealous of Aidi in his heart, because she was so smart that he would even rather believe that Yanna was deceived by Aidi. He pondered, looked at the army in front of him, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "This is ...... Guardian of the Cold Light?"
Seeing Izzy's puzzled look, Yanna was also confused, "Yes, what's wrong?" "Why didn't you bring the Dawn Crusaders?" Looking at his cold and serious face, Yanna had to lower her head and try to avoid the accusatory gaze, but she didn't feel anything wrong with this in her heart. "What's the ...... do with that".
Seeing this, Izzy didn't plan to blame anything, he sighed silently, and gently stroked Yanna's little face, "Let's go back." Hearing his soft sigh, Yanna hurriedly raised her head, "Why? "We can't save him......"
Izzy said and lowered her arm to pull her little hand, but she didn't expect to be blocked by Yanna, "No! he supported us, why should we abandon him now!" "We can't ...... it now" Before Izzy could finish speaking, she interrupted again, "No way! If we don't do everything in our power to save our allies, then what is the difference between us and the enemy." If we do that, there will be no one to support us in the future. ”
Yeonna's words sound naïve and immature, but they are not unreasonable. Izzy knew this, but he had always felt a faint sense of unease as he had passed the previous battles, perhaps because he didn't fully understand his enemy, or that he had already determined who the real enemy was......
Just when he was in a dilemma, Tiara, who had been silent for a long time, walked over with a halberd in her hand, she grabbed Izzy's arm, her face was still unhappy and serious, but her eyes were scattered at this moment with an unwavering gaze, revealing a burst of perseverance, "Izzy, I believe in your decision, but don't worry, we are not as vulnerable as you think now." ”
As soon as Tiara's words fell, Yanna also grabbed his other arm, "Don't run away from difficulties, what we have to do is to change the world and save everyone who is in chaos." Listening to the words of the two women in front of him, Izzy felt more like he was reprimanding himself, he nodded silently, and at the same time smiled bitterly, "Okay, at least we will save Silver Spirit City first." ”
Izzy agreed to take the army to Silver Spirit City, but he had never felt so uneasy in his heart. They led an army of five hundred Cold Light Guards, slowly driving towards the road where Izzy came, each Cold Light Guardian's heart was also uneasy, when they heard that their home was attacked, they were even more anxious, but they did not panic, because these soldiers have been strictly educated and trained, they understand the impact that a disobedient soldier will have on the army, so the first to find Yan Na are several officers of the Cold Light Guard, they jointly asked Yan Na in the middle of the night to send troops to support Silver Spirit City。
Fortunately, Yanna agreed to their conditions, and after discussing with Aidi, she decided to lead the Coldlight Guards to support Silver Spirit City, the first point is that Eddie understands that in the current situation, although these five hundred Coldlight Guards have been divided into the Dawn Crusade, their homes are ultimately in Silver Spirit City, and at this time, Silver Spirit City was attacked, and they are the most combative existence. The second point is that after all, these Cold Light Guards have been following Nevendon for too long, so from their own side, the attrition and casualties of the war should also be borne by these people.
Edi wanted to bring the army herself, but was stopped by Yeonna. Yanna knew that if she brought the army out, Izzy would worry about Prado, but if Eddie was in charge, he wouldn't have so many worries. After some persuasion, Aidi finally couldn't resist her, so she had to obey Yanna's arrangement.
Aidi's thoughts, Izzy also knows a little bit about it, but he doesn't blame Yanna for her recklessness in his heart, but he resents what Aidi did, because he never let Yanna come to his side when he fought, this is a risk after all, the war is changing rapidly, and no one can say who will be hurt or not.
The three of them led the army slowly through the southern mountains, and came to the bottom of the Silver Spirit City again, looking at the city that was still burning from a distance, and the billowing gunsmoke, they could feel the heat of the surrounding air, and even the wafting gunpowder smoke was filled with a bloody smell. When the Cold Light Guardians witnessed the scene in front of them, each of their hearts couldn't help but stir, and their brains tensed the nerves that were ready to fight at any time, and the expressions on their faces at this moment were also full of wanting revenge.
"What are the potholes in that place...... As the troops slowly approached, Yanna couldn't help but point to the messy battlefield in front of Silver Spirit City and asked. Izzy frowned, he really didn't want to answer this question, he just didn't want to make Yanna feel frightened, but he also knew that one day, Yanna would also see all this, he shook his head silently, and said with a wry smile, "Those are corpses......."
In front of the walls of Silver Spirit City in the distance, corpses were all over the ground, as if they were paved with square bricks, and the gaps in the middle were connected and even filled with blood. Under the light of the white moonlight, the blood that gathered into the river and the swords all over the ground were glowing with bleak light. Seeing this scene, Yanna fell silent, but her little face still looked calm.
Looking at her appearance, Izzy was also relieved, it seemed that Yanna was stronger than she imagined. Yanna's heart knew that since it was a war, there would be inevitable casualties, and although the tragic scene in front of her made her heart lift, she soon calmed down, "Izzy, what about Nivandon's people?"
"Maybe it's going to pursue the enemy......" Before Izzy could finish answering, Tiara on the side held the halberd in her arms and raised her eyebrows, "Maybe the whole army is wiped out, not necessarily." "I wish Nevedon was fighting the enemy right now......" Izzy blurted out without thinking, but this drew an angry glare from Yeona beside her.
Yeonna looked at him angrily, "How can you say that, we should hope for Nivendon to win." "I just say this to give us a chance to help Nivandon. Izzy tried his best to argue, and Yanna also understood what he was thinking, but she didn't want to agree with him, after all, Izzy was only thinking about her own side.
As the troops came to the foot of Silver Spirit City, everyone stopped. At this time, Tiara proudly crossed her hands in front of her chest, holding the halberd in her arms, and looked at the Silver Spirit City, although there was no siege weapon attack now, there were still some flames left in the city that had not been burned out. "What now?" asked Tiara solemnly.
Izzy looked around and saw that it was pitch black. "Let's put out the fire in Silver Spirit City first, I'm sure there are still survivors in the city. After he finished speaking, he walked straight to the gate of Silver Spirit City, Yanna showed a smile at this time, she was still more optimistic about Izzy in some things, thinking of this, she quickly chased after Izzy.
Looking at the backs of the two, although Tiara was extremely unhappy in her heart, she did not show it. In the face of this innocent and lovely Yanna, whether it is in terms of affection or position, she can't find any reason to hate Yanna. At this time, the grievances in her heart can only be added to Izzy's body, maybe one day her grievances and sadness will gradually evolve into deep resentment towards him, and Tiara is most afraid of this, so she can only hope for the end of this war, and at the same time vent the anger in her heart on the battlefield.
After thinking about it for a while, seeing that the soldiers behind him were all watching her, Tiara held a halberd in one hand, and after a simple wave of the other hand, she walked quickly towards the Silver Spirit City, and these soldiers saw this and slowly followed her into the Silver Spirit City. According to the rank system of the Dawn Crusade, they still belong directly to Tiara, and they are well aware of Tiara's temper, so they must strictly follow her orders to ensure that they will not be scolded.
Izzy led the troops into Silver Spirit City, he found a corner at the broken city gate and sat down, looking at the painful expression on his face, Tiara could think of the wound on his leg, and suddenly felt a burst of distress, at this time Yanna also came to his side with a concerned face, "Izzy, what are we doing now?" she asked and reached out and handed him a water bag.
Izzy took the water bag and smiled and glanced at Yanna, and at the same time looked at Tiara on the side, "Tiara, you are now leading the troops to extinguish the fire and search and rescue the people, I think they will all be grateful for your arrival." "Yes!" Tiara said solemnly, turning and walking straight into the city with his army. "I'm going to help her take care of the injured people, so you can rest here first. Seeing Izzy smile and nod in agreement, Yeona chased after Tiara, who had already left.
Having just entered Silver Spirit City, they knew that this battle was far from over, but they did not know that they were stepping into a dangerous trap...... (To be continued.) )
