In times of crisis, few people are so calm as not to let go of every detail, and even the obvious things on weekdays will be ignored for unknown reasons. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, Caesar completely ignored the fact that after putting on the gray armor, the little dragon disappeared inexplicably. He didn't notice that the duration of the armor he had put on this time had completely surpassed the last time, and the pain and suffering of his body gradually became numb, and the power brought by the armor was like a tidal wave, still emerging from unknown places.

Caesar just looked at the phoenix facing the waves and her long hair fluttering, and her thoughts drifted back to a conversation with Teacher Lan before, it should be after the hunting season, after the funeral of the war dead held by the military headquarters, the sky was raining lightly, Caesar and Teacher Lan walked on the wet bluestone floor of Earth Street, and their hearts were a little heavy.

"Okay, don't be so sad, the ultimate fate of every soldier is to die in battle. Teacher Lan broke the silence in a very casual tone.

Caesar couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why, didn't you expect me to say that?" Teacher Lan shrugged naturally, "but I really think so." I've long imagined that I'm going to die in battle. ”

Caesar was not afraid of such a topic, so he asked, "What is the teacher's imaginary last moment?"

"It's going to be calm. Teacher Lan said.

Seeing Caesar's face full of disbelief, she was a little annoyed unusually, "I didn't lie to you, I thought about it carefully, what a tragic, hot-blooded, cruel, bloody, and grand ...... None of this is quite my personality. Wouldn't it be very calm to fight until the last moment, do everything you can, and then accept a result that you have been mentally prepared for?"

Caesar pondered Mr. Lan's words carefully. Many people can talk about the topic of death indifferently, because the last moment has not yet come. But for some reason, Caesar felt that what Teacher Lan said was true, she was really not afraid of death, and even prepared.

"The teacher is really a ...... Strange people. Caesar thought for a long time and chose the adjective strange.

"Hey, don't think of me as some psychologically abnormal weirdos, okay?" Mr. Lan smiled and patted Caesar on the shoulder, then looked at the people coming and going on the street of Earth, and whispered, "I just figured out the reason for my fight very early, and I knew that even if I died in battle, it would be meaningful, so I was not afraid." ”

Although it was raining lightly, there were still a lot of people on Earth Street, including residents of Aoki Castle and tourists. Colorful umbrellas decorate the streets. The young mother, who had forgotten to bring her umbrella, took her young child in her arms and hurried to the nearest store, shouting, "Ouch, my shoes, my shoes have fallen ......," and several tourists walked over with a smile and picked up the woman's shoes and handed them over. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Oh, what kind of child is this, it's a girl, right?" The woman took the shoes and put them on a little embarrassed, while not forgetting to correct the shopkeeper: "Our family is a boy!"

"Don't you think it's beautiful?"

Teacher Lan stood not far away, watching this scene seems to be in a trance, she didn't even notice that the rain fell and wet her head and face, she just looked quietly with a soft smile that Caesar felt indescribable, and then seemed to be saying to Caesar, and also wanted to say to herself: "I want to protect this beauty." ”

At that moment, Caesar really got to know Teacher Lan. Although he still didn't know about her experience or her strength, Caesar understood the roots of the strength of this woman who wielded such power at such a young age. In fact, it's really simple, that is, if you want to protect the empire, any soldier in the military department will say something similar. But Caesar had never seen such unwavering tenderness in anyone's eyes.

"So I actually ...... I don't really love this country. Comparatively. At this moment, Caesar was wearing gray armor, standing on the crest of the great waves, silently thinking.

Nono said that he was a very responsible person, but just now he understood that the disaster was almost unstoppable, Caesar's instinctive reaction was to go back to the city immediately and save the people close to him, if he couldn't save the whole city, then take care of the people around him, normal people would think so.

Caesar didn't expect that the tsunami could not be quelled, but he could change direction, and his strength after putting on the gray armor could actually do this.

But the thought only flashed through his mind quickly, and then Caesar, consciously or unconsciously...... Let it go.

Since the beginning of memory, the city has given Caesar very little attention and kindness, and before Mr. Lan appeared, more memories of all kinds of ridicule, ridicule, and ignorance that he had to endure because he was too slow. Why risk your life for such a city?

It turns out that he is a person with no noble beliefs, who will remember gratitude and hatred, just like thousands of ordinary people.

But it would be wrong to say that there is no faith at all, because Caesar looked at the back of the phoenix, and the thought in his heart was so strong that it was irresistible: I want to protect what you want to protect.

The waves seemed to be bigger than before, and a rumbling roar was clearly heard from the bottom of the sea, like the roar of the undead of the battle mage who had been ambushed and killed by the Empire a hundred years ago.

The phoenix has released every bit of power that can still be gathered in her body, and at this time, any physical skills or spells, or the dragon awakening ability that she has been able to rely on for many years in the Battle Dynasty, has no effect, it is simply to reverse the energy with energy, and the power of heaven and earth with manpower.

"Ahem...... phoenix suddenly coughed a few times, his mouth tasted the unique sweet smell of blood, and his eyes were blurred for a while, and his body didn't seem to be his own.

It's still too reluctant. She thought.

It's true, it turns out that at the last moment, I still can't accept the ending of death in battle so calmly as I expected. It's just a little bit of it, wouldn't it be nice to give me a little more energy to turn this damn tsunami around and then fall silently and beautifully?

Phoenix's beautiful face was faintly a little hideous, and all the calm and indifference were thrown out of the clouds, she just wanted to complete the things in her hand now, nothing else.

Until a certain moment, she suddenly felt that the power in her body was stagnant, as if there was some kind of irresistible force, and she was ordered to stop this self-harming power oppression.

The gray armor came to her side at some point, and reached out to press her shoulder, just like that, Teacher Lan's desperate posture instantly converged.

"You...... You ......" Phoenix was stunned, and suddenly shouted angrily, "What are you doing?!"

It was almost there, but it was stopped by the gray iron bump in front of him.

The other party didn't answer, but just turned his head to look, and there seemed to be some faint and different pupils in the dark eyes, and the phoenix couldn't see clearly.

“...... I'll do it. Phoenix heard the other party say.

Then, the gray armor in front of him was just like himself just now, facing the huge waves, opening his arms, but the feeling was completely different. When the phoenix opened its arms, it was like a firework about to bloom, looking so weak in front of the huge waves, but resolute. When the gray armor spreads its arms, it looks like an emperor from antiquity!

He awoke from his slumbering throne, got up, and stretched out his arms to meet the whole world!

The phoenix saw in amazement that the waves that had been fierce and incomparably fierce suddenly seemed to be given some irresistible command, twisted, roared, and struggled...... In the end, it was forced to reverse the direction!

An indescribable noise filled the sea, and it was no longer the crashing of the waves, for the sound of the waves had been drowned out, replaced by a deep, intense breath.

The phoenix clearly knew that the source of the sound came from the gray armor in front of him, because the rhythm of his breathing was exactly the same as the rhythm of the blood and qi gushing out and sucking back around the gray armor.

The gray armor was already drowning in a cloud of blood. It is still standing firmly, reversing the irreversible tide with incredible power.

But Phoenix felt a pain in his heart for no apparent reason. She wanted to step forward, stretched out her hand to pull the other party: "You...... Don't mess around, it's already okay, stop, stop!"

Out of some instinct, or perhaps intuition, Phoenix knew that the price paid by the other party might be much greater than his own.

What will happen to the gray armor when the waves are completely twisted? Will he completely crumble in that shocking blood?

The gray armor suddenly burst out with a long roar, and his arms seemed to catch the wave in the air, making a vigorous pulling motion, as if he was turning the tide of the giant.

It's a pull that makes or breaks the matter.

Powerful energy collides and frictions, creating an indescribable chaotic current. With a scream, the phoenix was thrust away by the powerful shockwave.

By this time, the waves below had completely reversed course, and although the first waves had poured into the city, losses were inevitable, but the subsequent greater disasters had been diverted elsewhere. The phoenix gritted its teeth, steadied itself in the turbulence of energy, and then stretched out its hand to the gray armor.

The blood that gushed out and sucked back from the armor was gone, gray and gray, not crumbling or shattering, but a certain luster that flowed faintly on the armor was also gone.

It's as if from a living thing to a real dead thing, a set of inanimate armor.

Phoenix rushed towards the other party with all her strength, stretching her arms as long as she could.

"Catch me!" she shouted.

The gray armor should have heard it, as the head of the armor turned slightly, and although it was obviously sluggish, it still turned in the direction of the phoenix.

Caesar couldn't see anything clearly, his consciousness was on the verge of coma, and he only vaguely heard Teacher Lan's shout.

Then he struggled, reaching out in the direction of the sound source.
