"It's not optimistic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Catching the rebuilt walls of Los Angeles and the young rebel leader standing on the balcony of the house, Luo Li let out a sigh.

Originally, he should have taken advantage of the fact that the empire had not yet recovered from the collapse of the disappearance of magic to quickly gather soldiers and capture the central capital of the empire, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, not to mention the Marquis of Levi, who had the same strength as himself in the south, there were several new forces in the north alone that seized this opportunity to raise troops, among which it was not that there were no forces that wanted to bring down the empire, but there were also forces that were only slogans but unwilling to act.

Among them, there are three forces that are the most troublesome for Luo Li, one is the Fernans family located southeast of Los Angeles, and the current ruler is the Count Fernans, and the other is the Willows family, who have been allies with Fernans for generations, and the current head of the family is Baron Willos.

After the magic is gone, these high-ranking nobles have different choices, either choosing to remain loyal to the empire or choosing to betray the empire to keep their position. The former is generally the choice of respected nobles, while the latter are basically opportunistic nobles who have ambitions to compete for the throne, and Count Fernans is one of them.

As an ally of the Earl of Fernans, Baron Willows also rose up after the Count raised his army. The two aristocratic families were like an iron wall blocking Luo Li's march into the central capital, although their purpose was to crusade against the empire, but the nobles did not trust Luo Li at all, and naturally would not let Luo Li's troops pass through their territory.

The third force that gives Luo Li a headache is the elven clan that lives deep in the mountains west of Los Angeles, in the past ten thousand years, the elves have wanted to rise countless times, but each time they have been overwhelmed by the powerful magic of humans and can't raise their heads, and now they finally have a chance to develop, how can they let it go? In other words, Luo Li will not give up this great opportunity, but the reason for Luo Li's headache is not this, but from the hostility of the elves to humans, they are not only hostile to the empire that discriminates against the elves, their hostility is against all mankind who have oppressed them for nearly 10,000 years. In fact, within a few days of the magic disappearing, the caravan to Los Angeles was attacked several times by elves, and each time there was no survivor.

"If you are an enemy of a race, you should spare me, and there is no way to get along with the elves?"

"Brother, you're talking to yourself again!" The only innocent voice that sounded behind him was the only innocent voice that could put Luo Li down of his worries.

"Ahh

"Hee-hee. Luo Xue stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Of course, I came to you because it was too boring there." ”

"You're really the same as when you were a child, you haven't changed at all. Luo Li smiled helplessly, this was the first time he showed a relaxed smile today.

"Eh, what's wrong with that?" Luo Xue took Luo Li's words as a mockery.

"There's no such thing, you just have to be that kind of self. Luo Li, who said this, already faintly felt the sadness buried under his sister's innocent expression.

"Hee-hee, I thought my brother hated me. ”

"Silly girl," Luo Li touched Luo Xue's head, "How can my brother hate you?"

Looking at such an innocent sister, a trace of gloom climbed up Luo Li's eyebrows. He knew that his sister was being reckless at the moment, but even if he saw through this, Luo Li didn't know how to comfort his sister, because he knew very well the position of that man in his sister's heart.

As if seeing through her brother's worries, Luo Xue hurriedly said: "Brother, I'm fine, you've worried about enough things, don't worry about my affairs anymore." ”

"Really?"

"Really!" Luo Xue nodded desperately, but Luo Li's sharp gaze still caught the tears that loomed in the corners of Luo Xue's eyes.

What a sister who is not good at lying, Luo Li smiled bitterly, after coming to the conclusion that it was probably Luo Fei who caused the magic to disappear, not only Luo Xue, but even Luo Li himself was looking forward to the return of his friend. If Luo Fei was still alive, he would definitely be able to get the news about the strongest swordsman, but the fact is that there is no news, no matter what kind of information Luo Li collects, there is no trace of information about Luo Fei, and even at the moment when the magic disappeared, Luo Li only got the clue that the temple was suddenly engulfed by holy light.

"Brother, please, don't put on such an expression, if even you are like this, I, what should I do. Tears bloomed on Luo Xue's immature face, and the tears finally couldn't be stopped, and began to drip down drop by drop.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to provoke your heartbreak. Luo Li hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, brother, it's not your fault. Luo Xue wiped the corners of her eyes and wiped away the last tears, but her expression was still as sad as before, which was the last thing Luo Li wanted to see

Luo Li didn't speak, and took his sister into his arms.

"I'm fine, brother. The younger sister in her arms kept arguing and wanted Luo Li to let go.

"If you are still strong in front of your brother, you can cry as much as you want, and some things should not be held in your heart, and it will be much better to cry bitterly. ”

Luo Xue, who heard her brother's words, couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart anymore and cried loudly.

The sorrow that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time poured out like a flood at this moment. And Luo Li looked at Luo Xue quietly like this.

After a long time, the crying gradually stopped, and the red-eyed Luo Xue rubbed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, brother, I was supposed to be the one who made my brother relax, but I didn't expect that I was comforted by my brother. ”

A relieved smile appeared on Luo Li's face again, "Family, it's right to help each other, and besides, I don't think I need to be comforted as much as you." ”

"He is worthy of being an elder brother who can reassure the clansmen, and his brother will definitely make the Luo people become the most powerful nation!"

"Alright, stop slapping your brother's ass, go back to your room, and then my brother will deal with all the mess in the rebel army. ”

Just as she was about to leave the balcony, Luo Xue suddenly became serious as if she remembered something.

"Brother, I have something to tell you. ”

"What?"

Luo Xue hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.

"Luo Xue, I'm ready to come to my senses. ”

Without waiting for Luo Li to answer, Luo Xue fled with a smoke.

Luo Li didn't say anything to stop her, but a complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Enlightenment. Luo Li began to talk to himself again. "You've made my brother impressed with you again, Luo Xue. ”
