Ani seemed relieved to receive Caesar's affirmative reply, and the tense expression on her face slowed down a little, and then she smiled, the kind of smile that was relieved and free, and there was something gloomy in it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the smile flickered, and Ani turned her head, staring at the western sun with some dazedness and nostalgia, at this time, only a small half of the sunset was still above the horizon, and the night was coming.

In this way, Ani stared at the sun that was about to sink to the ground, stared for a long time, then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, there was only calm and determination in her eyes.

"You should be able to understand me. She spoke, and although she didn't look back, she said to the other three disciples behind her, "If you really understand me, don't say a word, don't say a word, is that okay?"

Panier gritted his teeth, his eyes reddened.

Zi Bing opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

The flame rat behaved quite calmly, and said, "I don't always like you, so there's no need to listen to you, you tell us not to talk, I'm going to say-" He paused, and there was a rare lack of gloom and malice in his eyes, only seriousness and solemnity, "You did what you had to do, and we will do what we should do later." ”

Ani nodded, waved her hand, and shouted the order: "Withdraw the army!"

The tide of battle mage troops began to withdraw from the plain of despair, of course, this place can no longer be called a plain, only a huge pit remains, like the terrible scars that the war has brought to this world.

From the disciples to the ordinary soldiers, all the battle mages left the battlefield in silence and in an orderly manner.

And the soldiers of the South just watched.

"I still can't believe it...... one veteran stared blankly for a moment, then muttered in a low voice, "how did we hold out for so long with such a terrible army that was so methodically defeated and retreat......ed?" Have you been fighting against such a terrible opponent all along......"

All battlemages know that this is not a glorious retreat, as they have not won and have not completed their mission.

But they also have absolute discipline, and they have great respect and trust for their first disciple, Ani, so they are willing to obey Ani's order and retreat without pestering.

But in my heart, I'm afraid no one can really be calm. In fact, many battle mages have a kind of sadness and sadness in their hearts that they have never felt before, in the confrontation between the north and the south, they have always been the absolute dominant controllers, and they have never let the south experience the pain and powerless sorrow of loss, but this time, they also really felt the trauma of the war that penetrated into the bone marrow.

A young soldier wanted to turn back and look at Ani in the sky for one last look.

But his commander quietly reached out his hand, grabbed him by the neck, and said, "Don't look back." ”

Don't talk, don't look back, that's the only thing the disciples and soldiers can do for Ani.

Half an hour later, hundreds of thousands of armies of battle mages had disappeared into the plains of despair, leaving empty camps and the entire army vanished into the rolling hills of the Hengduan Mountains.

The sun is still shining with its last ray.

Caesar said to Nono, Elaine, and the female general beside him, "Go down first, and let me and Ani's disciples be alone for a while." ”

Nono nodded, knowing that this was Caesar's respect for Ani, and whispered to Caesar "Be careful", and then flew towards the ground without looking back.

And they all departed.

Caesar then looked at Ani again and said, "There's no one else, shall we start?"

Ani smiled, "Can I pick a location?"

"Of course. ”

"I don't want anyone to see me defeated, so—" Ani said, raising her hand and pointing higher in the sky, inviting Caesar to fight at the end of the real world, the edge of the plane.

Caesar didn't hesitate, in fact, this was what he had in mind, the battle between him and Ani would definitely be so dynamic that it would have to be far enough away from the battlefield to be 100% sure that it wouldn't affect anyone.

The last thing the people on the ground saw was Caesar and Ani flying higher side by side until they became two small dots. The last rays of the sun vanished, and night fell.

This is the last time people will see Ani, Ani alive.

Like the First Civil War, the Second Civil War ended with a mystery, no one knows how Caesar and Ani's battle went, but for the entire night, people could faintly hear a kind of shock and collision that could hit the soul all over the world.

It was the movement caused by the battle at the end of the world between two powerhouses who were about to surpass the legend, as if the world was crying.

Caesar returned at dawn the next day.

He brought back Ani's corpse.

Strangely, when Ani and Caesar went to fight, they were perfectly formed mountain dragons. At this time, what Caesar brought back was a dragon-like monster that looked rather twisted but was somewhat deformed.

And beside the monster, there was a humanoid corpse, not Ani, but Nameless.

"Teacher, Teacher!" a figure rushed towards this place like crazy, ignoring the obstruction of many wind and thunder mages, it was Barbara, she did not evacuate with the large army of battle mages.

Caesar waved his hand to signal that the sergeants did not need to stop, and he looked at Papara, who was clutching the nameless body in pain, and said nothing, only sighed softly.

To be honest, Caesar had a reason to kill Ani, because Caesar knew that in the near future, he would face the truly powerful battle commander, and although Ani's strength alone was not as good as herself, she might not be able to concentrate on facing the real enemy in the battle between herself and the archleader. Caesar has the confidence to stand up to the Grand Commander, but he is unwilling to face both Ani and the Grand Commander at the same time.

But Caesar still didn't kill him after all, maybe because of Barbara's relationship, or maybe because Caesar himself had a voice inside him that stopped him.

Ani was not killed by Caesar, she died from the distortion and collapse of her own power.

No one had time to ask Caesar what had happened, and Phoenix and Nono stepped forward, but they didn't have time to ask Caesar how he was doing, whether he was injured, because Caesar had already taken the lead in asking, and his tone was a little eager: "Did there ever be a man and a dragon on the battlefield before?

"Uh...... Yes. It was the female general who answered, and she clearly remembered the scene.

"Where did those two guys go?" Caesar asked in a deep voice, "Don't tell me they died in the explosion caused by General Blue, I know it's impossible!"

You look at me, and I look at you, but you can't answer.

Because in the cleaning of the battlefield that lasted all night, no one found the man and the dragon, and I don't know if they were wiped out in the explosion, or if they didn't die but ran away.

At this time, Caesar suddenly seemed to realize something, and looked in a certain direction.

I saw a young soldier come out of the soldiers, with beautiful eyebrows, he should have just come of age, but this person's demeanor was not quite right, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, and walked up to Caesar somewhat mechanically, and then "touched" -

Exploded.

The whole person exploded into a blur of flesh and blood fragments, and fell to the ground with a puff!

Everyone froze, but Caesar stared at the flesh and blood scattered on the ground, only to see that the broken flesh organs were still wriggling, and gradually pieced together a line of words, which read:

You have become a blue bird, and I am still an ant.

The day you and I meet again, when the giants return.

- Hughes.
