For the Wind and Thunder Mages, the day and night that had just passed were no different from nightmares. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was the darkest hour before dawn, and no one dared to light a fire or a lamp, or even use the power of wind and thunder.

――I was afraid that the energy would overflow from the body and produce light, attracting the tall and thin old man who could be called the embodiment of terror.

"Vote, vote on whether to give up Caesar, there's no way around it. ”

It is Wataru who speaks.

Wataru's voice was full of struggle, and it was really hard to give up a teammate, a companion, and someone who had saved the entire team before.

But it was really the end of the road, too many people died, before Caesar fainted, there were still about eighty wind and thunder mages in the camp, and at this time there were less than twenty left.

The enemy is supposed to be coming for Caesar, and this team has paid a great price in order to save Caesar who has lost consciousness and fled with him.

No matter how hard it is, the end is that everyone dies together.

"I agree to give up. Xiao De voted in favor without hesitation, paused, and added in a low voice, "To be honest, I still don't understand, why are you taking this useless person with you." ”

"I'm against it. Hongyi didn't say much, in fact, no one had the strength to talk more at this time, but she still insisted, "Like you, I want to live, but if I abandon the person who once saved my life, I will look down on myself for the rest of my life." ”

Wen Jing put it more pragmatically: "I believe that Caesar can still wake up and play a key role again, so I am against giving him up." ”

"Agree to give up. ”

"Agreed. ”

"Against. ”

Everyone's statement was simple, and I don't know if I don't have the strength to say more, or I don't know what to say on this issue, especially those who voted for it.

When it was Luo's turn, Du sighed and said, "My two brothers are very injured and are still sleeping, so I won't wake them up." I know their answer, so I'll answer instead. Lowe will vote against, and March will choose to agree. After a pause, he gently patted Jasmine next to him on the shoulder and asked, "What about you?"

In the dark, Jasmine was slow to answer.

People who are not familiar with Jasmine's temperament may think that she is a cold and thoughtful girl, but Wataru knows that Jasmine actually has no opinions.

I only heard Jasmine whisper, "I...... I abstain. ”

Wen Jing and Hongyi both frowned. Du Ze sighed secretly, and then asked, "Carl, and the pit father, what do you two think?"

Karl said indifferently: "Even if we abandon Caesar, we may not necessarily live." If you don't drop him, maybe he'll jump up and fight again. So I'm against it. ”

The pit father thought for a while, and then said: "The enemy really wants to get Caesar's classmates, right? My mother said that the enemy wants people or things very much, and he can't give them to death, this is in line with the people of the Wind and Thunder Empire." Even if everyone dies in battle, Caesar's classmates should not be abandoned. Of course, that's what my mom said. My own idea is to absolutely not give up on my companions, there is no particular reason. ”

The rest of the people then voted, and the last to vote was the round-faced girl, who and the red coat were the only two people left in the southern delegation today.

The round-faced girl shivered and hid in the corner, as if she had exhausted all her strength, before she said, "Agreed." Then she covered her mouth vigorously and began to sob, trembling all over her body and not daring to cry.

The process of counting votes is quick.

The final result of the vote was 9 yes and 10 against, and the majority chose to keep Caesar in the ranks and not abandon him because the enemy was eyeing him.

Du hummed, pondered in silence for a moment, and said, "Okay, now that the voting has a result, there is no need to worry about it anymore." In any case, Caesar must be protected. To decide is to decide. ”

To decide is to decide - this sentence is like a needle that sets the sea, making the floating minds of everyone present sink down and stabilize again.

No one wants to face such a difficult choice, and it is very sad to feel good whether the final vote is to abandon or not to abandon. So, accept the results of the vote as calmly as possible.

Life is like this, and to decide is to decide.

There was silence in the woods, and no one spoke. But no one slept, and nothing could be seen in the darkness, but everyone's eyes were open. Occasionally, you can hear the chirping of insects, the slight sound of the wind, and the sound of leaves rubbing against the trees.

For some reason, everyone suddenly eagerly awaited the first rays of light on heaven and earth after the darkest period of the dawn had passed, even though it would mean that a new round of escape would begin again.

I don't know how long it was, and I don't know who suddenly called out in surprise: "Caesar...... Gone?"

Caesar walked alone through the dark woods, and walked out of the woods, and at last stopped on the banks of a small river that meandered in the woods.

Then he gazed up into the sky and saw the stars in the sky.

Caesar woke up at the beginning of the previous voting discussion, listened quietly to the whole process, and then after the results of the voting came in, the first part of the operation was instantaneous, and he quietly got up and left.

Many times, being young means making awkward trouble, and Caesar is a person who likes to make awkward things.

In the end, his companions did not choose to abandon him, but he chose to leave on his own.

Perhaps, deep down, Caesar didn't think that such a thing as "whether to abandon his companions" could be put up for a vote.

"You shouldn't run out alone, a lone lamb destined to be taken away by a wolf. On the other side of the river, a calm old voice sounded.

The energy clone condensed by the tall and thin old man appeared there at some point, and it was only a small river away from Caesar, and it was only five or six meters apart.

He looked at Caesar, his eyes glowing with seven colors in the night, and asked earnestly, "Young man, why did you run out alone?"

Caesar withdrew his gaze from staring at the sky, and looked at each other from the other side, without any intense emotion between his eyebrows, only a faint calm.

Then Caesar lifted his chin slightly, and with an indescribable pride he said, "For I am not a lamb, I am a wolf." ”

The old man was stunned, and then laughed and said, "What, you want to fight with me?"

Caesar lowered his eyelids and asked softly, "Why, isn't it possible?"

The small river between the two has flowed quietly for I don't know how many years, witnessing the great era of the dragon clan and the war a hundred years ago.

Tonight, it bears witness to the last silent cry of a stupid but proud young man who is obviously wounded in his heart, but who pretends to be nothing, in the face of an almost invincible enemy.

The night sky was briefly illuminated by the force of the violently burning wind and thunder.

This was followed by violent concussions and loud noises.

Then everything fell silent again.

When Wataru and the others followed the movement and came over, they saw only Caesar.

The old man on the other side of the river is gone, after all, it is not the deity, it is just a clone of the energy condensation, once defeated, it will also disperse with the wind.

Everyone looked at Caesar alone, and they all showed shocked expressions.

Caesar looked very good, looking up at the night sky, facing everyone sideways, with a slight sadness, a faint confusion, a faint attachment, and a deep regret written on his side face.

He turned his head, looked at the pit father alone, glanced at it, smiled, and then slowly collapsed into the small river in front of him.

In the invisible night, the blood has stained the river red!

"Caesar!!"

The redcoat screamed, and the first one rushed forward, hurriedly picking Caesar's body out of the river, and then her face instantly turned extremely pale.

I saw a short black arrow nailed to Caesar's chest and pierced through the heart.

The short arrow was extremely stable and did not tremble in the slightest.

This means that Caesar's heart, which had been pierced by an arrow, no longer beats.
