Chapter 33: Eliza's Choice

"Poof"

The sound of iron entering the flesh came as expected, and the warrior roared excitedly, and just wanted to draw his sword, but found that the figure of the monster was getting closer and closer to him, and a terrifying coercion came to his face, making him unable to move.

Hearing a "bang", the monster's entire body slammed into the city wall, splashing a burst of blood under it.

"Snort"

A burst of blood suddenly erupted all around, and the land within a radius of three feet suddenly became a hunting paradise for monsters.

The same scene appeared in every inch of the city wall, and this round of monsters completely broke the defense line of the crimson defenders, at least more than 20,000 people died on the spot, and the entire city wall was covered in a layer of blood.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

The Emperor Commander looked around, a deep look of horror in his eyes, he didn't understand what was going on.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and then, the whole person was blown away, a deep sense of powerlessness came over him, and before he lost focus, he saw a monster larger than the city wall rushing towards him, and then, he lost consciousness permanently.

It turned out that the root cause of all this was the sudden failure of the shield, and the unprepared defenders suffered heavy casualties, with less than 40,000 people having time to retreat.

Fortunately, when they retreated to the inner city, the shield reappeared, blocking the swarming monster army outside the city, but there was only a dull green glow left on the shield, and there was no telling if it would be broken again in the next second.

What's even more terrifying is that with the rout of the defenders, the panic completely spreads, and there are screams and shouts everywhere, and the originally bustling streets become chaotic, full of rushing city citizens, who have no way to go and all of them are now flocking to the same place.

In front of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Tree Temple, hundreds of thousands of city citizens who were already kneeling with prayers were already on their knees, and their originally frightened hearts finally calmed down when they saw the Spirit Tree that was spreading green rays outward.

Ten years ago, the 10,000-year-old tree was transformed by Xiang'er, but left a sapling, under the careful care of Eliza and all the people of the Imperial City, the sapling gradually grew into a big tree, although it is not as good as 10,000-year-old trees, but it has already shown some strangeness, I believe that as long as it is given time, it will be able to reproduce the glory of the past.

It's a pity that there was a crimson coup d'état, and now there are monsters attacking the city, and no one knows if the heavens will give it a chance to grow.

The citizens of the city originally wanted to enter the Spirit Tree Temple to pray for blessings, but they were blocked by a large number of soldiers, and even used force.

The citizens of the city cried and begged, but they were unmoved, and for some reason their swords and spears were not pointed at the monsters that were besieging the city, but at their own people.

At this time, the Spirit Tree Temple was extremely empty, and the newborn Spirit Tree that was three feet tall was trembling one after another, and green ripples spread from the tree, spreading to the entire inner city, and it was precisely because of its existence that it could withstand the impact of the monster army.

Under the tree, there was a man standing, the expression on his face was extremely complicated, as if he was remorseful, as if he was remorseful, and with a deep pain.

He is the current master of the Crimson Empire, the former Prime Minister of the Empire Wan Qingsong, compared to a few years ago, he is already much older, and it seems that being the head of a country is not as easy as imagined.

"Why don't you want to go with me? At that time, too, you would rather choose an illusory hope than accept me close at hand!"

Wan Qingsong shouted loudly at the Spirit Tree, emotional, but also extremely weird.

"This is my home, this is my roots, just like this tree, if it leaves the soil, it will die! There are still my people, I must protect them! Wan Qingsong, it is impossible between us, it was like this more than forty years ago, it was like this five years ago, and it is still the same today, my heart has long since died, it is useless to say more, you go, leave this land that you have abandoned. ”

A female voice suddenly came from the Spirit Tree, which was pleasant to the ear, but it couldn't hide the weakness and exhaustion in it.

Who is she?

When another round of green light spread out from the tree, she was finally revealed, and she was tightly wrapped in the air by countless branches, countless spikes piercing her skin, constantly sucking her flesh and vitality.

When she looked up, she finally let people see her appearance clearly, and she was the real master of the Crimson Empire, the Scarlet Empress Eliza, who made Tianyao and them extremely concerned.

At this moment, there was no blood on her face, her original beautiful face had long since disappeared, her whole person had lost weight several times, she couldn't even open her eyes completely, and a twilight surrounded her body, which was heart-wrenching.

Although she is suffering unspeakable pain, she is ready to sacrifice for the sake of the country and the people, but she doesn't know how long she can last, and she doesn't know if there will be a miracle.

Watching his beloved being tortured like this, for Wan Qingsong, the pain was unimaginable.

Back then, he tried his best to prevent Eliza and Yun Che from falling in love, and even delayed Eliza's rescue of Yun Che later, originally thinking that Yun Che's death would be the beginning of his happiness, but Eliza's feelings for Yun Che were beyond the phenomenon, and she would rather die alone than turn her back on her love for Yun Che.

A few years ago, he staged a coup d'état with infamy, in a vain attempt to force Eliza to marry him, and under the thoughtful Jihua, he succeeded, but as always, he received a rejection and a deep disgust, which made him feel hopeless.

But the wood is already in the boat, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, only he knows in his heart that everything he has done is for Eliza, but if he does something wrong, he will be wrong to the end, and there is no turning back.

A few days ago, the second heavenly change caused the entire Crimson to fall into a panic again, and soon, the news of the monster siege came from all directions, but before he could arrange it, the surrounding area of the Crimson Imperial City was surrounded by an army of monsters.

The 100,000 troops sent out didn't even hold on for half a day, and they were completely annihilated by monsters, knowing what the outcome would be, he decided to leave the imperial city with Eliza as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Eliza actually took a step ahead of him, and rushed to the Spirit Tree Temple with the help of the rebel Shili, and used the secret method to stimulate the ability of the Spirit Tree to protect the Crimson Imperial City, but in just a few hours, her body became like this, how could he not blame himself?

Glancing at Eliza again, who was already reluctant to speak, Wan Qingsong's gaze gradually became calm and resolute.

"Eliza, it's all because of you that I will stay in this country, since you have made your own choice, then it is my turn now! You have rejected me countless times, but this time, you can't refuse, I love you forever!"

After saying this, Wan Qingsong turned around and left the Spirit Tree Temple, Xiao Suo's figure showed an outstanding momentum, and there was a determination to die.

Behind him, a few tears fell from Eliza's closed eyes, and a gentle "xiexie" floated through the air.
