Chapter 506: Killing Fate

A melodious sound of the piano made Liuyun and Hyrum stop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info watermark advertising test watermark advertising test piano sound, with a battlefield slaughtering atmosphere, but also with a bit of heroic end of the sadness. Obviously, the Battle of Liberty City is over, but Vesk is still not out of the war.
"From the information I have, this Vesk is a rare talent. Liuyun sighed lightly.
"At least this elegance of others is something you can't learn. Hyrum laughed.
"If I had been a prisoner, I might have behaved more gracefully than he did. Liuyun snorted disdainfully.
"Then you came today, did you want to receive him under the account?" Hyrum asked.
"There is this idea. Liuyun nodded, "As the war expands, there will be more and more captives from the Kosling Empire. It's a big problem, and if he is willing to step forward, things will be much easier. ”
"From the sound of the piano, you can hear that this is a high-minded and arrogant person, even if he loses, he will not give in easily. Are you going to use his wife and children to force him again?"
"In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things. Now I can't do it. Liuyun smiled bitterly, "Could it be that in your eyes, I am a bandit who specializes in kidnapping people?"
"You're a thief of hearts. Hyrum gave him a blank look and whispered.
"Chief, princess. Outside the courtyard gate, two Black Hawk team members saw the two and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. After taking Liberty City, in order to prevent trouble, Liuyun asked the Black Hawks to personally take charge of the safety of the entire Vesque family.
"How's it going?" Liuyun nodded and asked.
In the past few days, he has stayed at home, only reading, drinking, and playing the piano. Nothing else. One of the team members replied.
Liuyun and Hyrum entered the gate. In a clearing at the end of the garden corridor, they saw the "gravedigger" in a daze with a wine glass in front of a harp. This is a handsome young man, who has now faded into a civilian outfit and is replaced by a civilian outfit.
"Fetch a wine glass, I'll accompany the general to drink a few glasses. Liuyun instructed the team members behind him.
The wine was quickly poured. Vesk looked at the flowing clouds. Didn't speak.
"For the first cup, General Jing saved the lives of Freecity from being destroyed. Liuyun raised the wine glass and drank it all.
"In the second cup, General Jing's sword was never stained with civilian blood. Liuyun drank another glass of wine.
"The third cup, I respect the general's love for his brothers and relatives. Liuyun took another drink.
"I am defeated. But to lose to an opponent who knows me so well. There is no shame in it. Vesk also picked up his glass and toasted three times in a row.
"This is Princess Hyrum. The three of them sat down. Liuyun introduces Hyrum to Vesk.
"The beauty of the princess, as legendary, is irresistible. Visk looked at Hyrum carefully, a hint of intoxication flashing in his eyes. But soon clarity was restored.
"As far as I know, after the general arrived in Free City, he rarely harmed civilians, and Hyrum thanked the free people on behalf of him. Hyrum stood up and saluted.
Vesk smiled bitterly: "The princess is serious. Since Vesk is responsible for defending a city, he is also responsible for protecting the civilians of a city. It's just that I know that I am not popular, and the person they need is you. ”
"The love of family and country. Isn't it the same with the general?" Hyrum smiled.
Viske was silent.
"What does the general think of this war?" Liuyun asked suddenly.
"In the battle for freedom, Vesk was defeated. The commander-in-chief's talent is unmatched. Vesk said with a sigh. These days, because of Liuyun's instructions, he has learned about this war from the Black Hawk team members who protect him. Liuyun's various designs for him can be described as deadly, and he can't accept it.
"What I want to discuss with you is not the Battle of Liberty City, but the Continental War today. Liuyun stared at him and shook his head.
"I'm afraid the Commander will be disappointed. From the moment I took off my uniform, the war was behind me, and I really just wanted to be a civilian and spend the rest of my life with my family. Vesk said lightly.
"General Vesk, you should know that you and I should never have met in this way in this small city. Liuyun smiled, "The reason why you are here is because your views on this war are somewhat similar to mine. I think that if this battle goes on the way it is, Koslin will lose, don't you think?"
Vesk looked at him, his heart full of shock. As a rising star in the Imperial Realm, the reason why he was sent to Liberty City as a guard at the height of the limelight was because he had a lot of criticism about the continental war waged by Koslin. A soldier should not be too involved in politics, but when politics affects the fate of the country, he has to fight. The final result was that he was seized of military power by the high-level and demoted to Liberty City, and he became disheartened. And at this time, Liuyun appeared and gave him a heavy blow.
"Say no more, drink. Vesk poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down.
"Wine can relieve worries, but it can't change reality. "As far as I know, the general's teacher, Emperor Koslin's minister, Admiral Teyi, and several other important anti-war military ministers were all executed a few days ago. ”
There was a crisp "pop", and the wine glass in Veske's hand suddenly shattered into powder.
"No, how is that possible!" he said in a trembling voice.
"This is the latest intelligence from the Freedom League, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. His expression made Liuyun feel extremely sad in his heart.
"Teacher!" Vesk yelled, bursting into tears. For him, Teyi is the division commander, but also the father, and the light of his military career. The kindness rooted in the depths of his heart is the source of his immediate motivation, and he hopes to see the teacher's happy smile when he succeeds.
"General, please mourn. Hyrum said softly.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Vesk looked at Liuyun and asked sadly.
The latest information about Veney City obtained by the Flowing Cloud Freedom Alliance was told to Vesk in detail. He hoped that Vesk would help him sort out some clues from the mess of information and figure out what was going on in the Kosling Empire. Mingluo can be called his fierce rival in this life, but he is also a very personable person. He purged his ministers after his accession to the throne, and then put on a reckless appearance, definitely not because the Kosling Emperors had suffered heavy losses in the free city-state.
All his speculations point to the shadow that controls the country behind the scenes-the Demon Lord.
"What is the purpose of telling me this?" After listening to his words, Vesk's mood calmed down a little. Asked vigilantly.
"Didn't you just say it when you asked me?" Liuyun was depressed.
"No matter what happens to the empire, I will not betray my country. I am a military man, for loyalty. I can die. Even at the expense of my family. It is also not spared. Vesk said hatefully.
"I don't have anything more. Liuyun glanced at Hyrum and sighed lightly. "Let's go. ”
"General Vesk, since you have chosen to be loyal to the Kosling royal family and loyal to Minluo, no one can save the Kosling Empire. You betrayed. It will be the people of the entire Kosling Empire. Hyrum gave Visk a deep look and sighed.
"As a soldier, you used to feel lost because you didn't know why you were fighting. But what I'm going to say is that you don't know who you're fighting for in a military uniform!"" Liuyun looked at him and said loudly, "The profession of a soldier starts from the day you were born. With the ultimate pursuit of peace, history has given it the mission of protecting the common people, which is higher than the imperial power and the orders of any ruler! I am in command of the continental coalition forces. It's a fight for the freedom of the people on the mainland, a fight for the future peace of the mainland, and you, Visk, are not unjust at all defeated in front of me!"
Liuyun's words struck heavily on Vesque's heart like a morning bell.
"General Vesk, I declare you now, you are free. You can take your family to the mountains and forests and live a peaceful life. But when darkness envelops the land of Koslin, you will see your people survive in the sea of blood, and you will see the corpses of the land of Koslyn that gave birth to you for thousands of miles!" Liuyun said coldly.
"What else do you know about the Kosling Empire?" Vesk groaned for a moment, then sighed.
"We have always suspected that the Kosling Empire is controlled by a dark force. I suspect that the recent upheaval in the Kosling Empire has something to do with the dark Ones. I would like to know the details of the situation in Kosling through you to confirm whether our guess is correct or not. If correct, then our enemy is not the Kosling Empire, but the dark forces that manipulate it. Liuyun explained.
"You said, maybe it's the Temple!" Listening to Liuyun's words, Vesk's expression became very heavy. Many irrational things within the empire suddenly become reasonable if explained from this point of view.
"The temple is only its appearance. The Demon Lord who was sealed in the Far West is the real bane!" Liuyun continued.
"Well, if you want to know something, just ask. Vesk said absolutely.
When they left Vesk's residence, both Liuyun and Hyrum's hearts became extremely heavy. A conversation with Visk gave them an in-depth understanding of the internal intelligence of the Kosling Empire, and confirmed many of their initial suspicions. The temple had already infiltrated the upper echelons of the Kosling Empire and was deeply trusted by the Emperor of the Kosling Empire. It was because of the Templars' promise of their full support that the Kosling Empire launched this continental war. As the war progressed, the Templar's control over the Kosling Empire gradually strengthened, and the Emperor listened to the Temple's advice, and even a powerful prince like Minro could not influence the Emperor's decisions. It can be said that Emperor Kosling has become a puppet in the hands of the Temple.
"Now that the Emperor is gone, Minlo has succeeded him, but the Temple's control over the Koslin Empire does not seem to have been affected at all. What the hell is going on?" Helen was puzzled.
"I can only say that Mingluo is probably also controlled by them. Although he was reluctant to admit this fact, Liuyun believed that this was the reality.
"With Mingluo's wisdom, he shouldn't be willing to be a lackey for the Temple, right? Besides, he is not the kind of person who can be easily controlled. Hyrum frowned. Although he is an enemy she hates, Mingluo is also an opponent worthy of respect, and he is also a person with a very high IQ.
"That's what makes things more complicated. Liuyun smiled bitterly, "Can I say, maybe the Demon Lord personally took action?"
Hyrum was shocked when he heard this: "The seal of the Far West is still there, how can it be?"
"I suddenly remembered something, that's why I said that. When I faced off against Ming Luo in the Blue Moon Continent, he took me into a strange space. In that space filled with darkness and death, his combat power was greatly enhanced. As far as I know, the Demon Lord has three major magic weapons, the Leak of Time, the Nightmare Realm, and the Sigh of the Gods, which control time, space, and life respectively. Time leaks, I saw it in Luoxia City, the Demon Lord used its power to imprison a race alive for hundreds of years, it was terrifying!"
"You're saying that the space that Mingluo brought you into is likely to be related to the Nightmare Realm?" Hyrum frowned.
"yes. Liuyun nodded, "If it is, then there is only one explanation: Mingluo is the one the Demon Lord has a crush on." ”
"In this way, it seems that the dark forces have completely controlled the Koslin Empire, which is why so many things will happen after Mingluo ascends the throne. ”
"Hmm. The goddess chose me, and the demon lord fell in love with him, this is fucking called fate? Thinking of what happened after meeting Mingluo, Liuyun was embarrassed. :。.。
