Volume 3: The People of the Year II: The Eggshells of the Stars
The remnant sun is like blood.
The mountains had long since disappeared, and there was only a huge crater, much larger than the original one, and in this pit, the gray tsunami-like rocks kept sticking out of the middle of the pit, and they had just melted, and now they had solidified, and they had become like this, layer by layer, extending outward.
The sound of the wind resounded among the rocks, and they told of the tragedy that had just taken place here.
In the middle of the wave of stones, about a thousand miles away from the water level, there was a half-spherical crater, and there were no lines here, except for a beautiful platinum dragon lying on its back, quietly looking at the sky with its beautiful azure eyes, looking at the sun that was already the waning sun when it appeared.
Bahamut looked at the sky like this, and it looked as if nothing had happened, like an old man who looked at the sunset and sighed, very wise, very sad.
"It's a tragic situation, but luckily we evacuated all the birds and beasts around this place in advance. "A celestial soldier stood with a white spear, broke a wave-like stone tip, and then stood on it, scanning the changed leylines.
"But the monsters that guarded them were all dead, and there wasn't even a corpse. Another celestial soldier lifted his helmet and looked around with emotion.
"Hey, the adults sent them here to die, otherwise according to the original lizard's meaning, we would have died. Underneath them, a celestial soldier stuck his gun in the stone, laughing and scolding as he slid down.
The other two Celestial Soldiers looked at each other, then shrugged their shoulders and slid down in the same way.
The three of them slid for a long time, and finally fell to the bottom, and at the same time, hundreds of heavenly soldiers slid down from different stone points, and when they all came down, these heavenly soldiers immediately formed their formations and quickly stood together, and then, a man with a sword at his waist wearing armor that was roughly the same as that of a heavenly soldier but with some auspicious cloud patterns flew down from the sky.
The man glanced at the heavenly soldiers, then turned to look at the textureless ground in front of him, the man crouched down, his palm on the ground and felt it carefully, and after a while, the man picked up his hand.
"There is a spherical pit a hundred miles ahead, all the staff are divided into fan-shapes, surrounded and forward, if the "demon" all members remember not to approach, shoot with weapons that are configured against fate, do not use a little aura, if someone uses the aura to kill us, then your family will be expelled from Bai Yujing, and you do not deserve to have a name; β
The man spoke leisurely, calmly, as if everything was so simple.
"Report, what if the lizard resists?" yelled one of the celestial soldiers.
The man rubbed his fingers, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Leave the head, and the rest can be destroyed." β
The man looked back at the neatly arranged Heavenly Soldiers, "Is there any more problem?"
"It's gone!" cried out the Celestial Soldiers in unison.
The man nodded, and then with a wave of his palm, hundreds of heavenly soldiers were divided into fan shapes, walking forward little by little, the man rubbed his fingers, watching these heavenly soldiers advance little by little, and then he looked up at the sky, there was no sun here, only a "piece" of the sky could be seen, the man shook his head, looked back at these heavenly soldiers, his face was serious, he continued to rub his fingers with his hands behind his back.
Bahamut was lying in the pit, the sun was gradually setting, or it would not be long before it would be completely gone, Bahamut's blue eyes slowly closed, just now its trick was indeed very well prepared, and it also successfully hit that person's body, using the blood of Behemoth as a sacrifice, and summoned the magic circle when he sealed it with the lord in the past, although it was only for a moment, but it still succeeded in trapping the "demon" and making him unable to move there.
Then the sun went down, and then, Bahamut could never forget that what seemed to be the sun was actually the high temperature that contracted and condensed when the entire world was destroyed in the past, this high temperature that even the lords said when they saw it could destroy their own flesh, this incalculable high temperature.
Bahamut saw it at that time, in the blazing light, there appeared black dots smaller than ants, it was a dark face, a dark face roaring towards the sky, he was not destroyed by the heat of the world, he survived, although he must have paid a terrible price, but he survived, survived from the heat of the world that destroyed him, which Bahamut failed to do.
"It's not enough, my lord, this temperature has not yet become a concept called 'high temperature', 'as long as it does not become a concept, then the person who recreates the realm cannot be killed' I finally understand what you mean, and what the so-called recreation is. Bahamut muttered to himself, and then it reopened its azure eyes as it was disturbed.
by the sound of footsteps.
"Lord Bahamut?" asked the Celestial Soldier who surrounded the crater, looking at the beautiful platinum dragon.
"He sent you?" asked Bahamut rhetorically.
"Bahamut, who usurped the throne when the palace master left?" the questioning celestial soldier asked again in a loud voice, this time aiming his spear at the neck of the beautiful creature.
Bahamut looked at the eyes of these heavenly soldiers who surrounded him, and his azure eyes showed a hint of disappointment, then he closed his eyes and replied as if resigned to his fate, "Yes, Bahamut, Bahamut from the outside world, Bahamut, the friend of the Lord of Bai Yujing, Bahamut, who acted as the ruler when she left. β
The surrounding heavenly soldiers looked at each other, and then nodded, it was still the same heavenly soldier, and he shouted at Bahamut in the pit,
"Bahamut, we have received information that you have betrayed Bai Yujing, and for this we need to bring you back to trial, and we hope you can cooperate. β
"You are the people of the deputy sect who originally lived here, right? A hundred years ago, the Heavenly Soldiers were reinstated, and I remember all the people in the first and second sessions who were trained six years ago, but there are no faces of yours, and the people in this mountain have all turned into incompletely transformed demon beasts, and someone has replaced them. Bahamut took on the form of an old man, and he said this quietly.
"Ah, we are indeed the Vice-Sect people, but it was because you ordered to fight the damned 'demon' here that we were sentenced to death so hard, you know what it feels like?!" one of the Heavenly Soldiers roared and was about to shoot his spear at Bahamut, and the man next to him hurriedly held him down.
The old man who had turned into Bahamut opened his eyes and looked at the heavenly soldiers, "This is still a bit like a heavenly soldier, but it's still far from it." β
The old man sat up, and the heavenly soldiers around him immediately made a state of imminent battle, and aimed the spear in his hand at Bahamut's body.
"One. Bahamut held out a finger, "If it were them, I would have been pierced by the spear by now, you can't do that, you are afraid, hoping that everything will be solved without bloodshed, naΓ―ve." β
"Second, the Heavenly Soldiers will never leave their backs to the rest of the people, especially those who may pose a threat to themselves, they only trust their right and left comrades, and the orders from Bai Yujing's supreme command, because the Heavenly Soldiers have no so-called 'generals', and you can't do this. β
Bahamut elaborated lightly, when his words fell, these heavenly soldiers knelt on the ground, fell close to the hole, the man pulled out the knife inserted in the neck of the man who was pressed on the ground, and then threw it on the ground, put the knife back into the sheath, the jade pendant on the man's waist flashed, and a piece of clothing appeared in the man's hand, the man flew down, fell in front of Bahamut, put the clothes on him, and then knelt on one knee and said,
"Heavenly Soldier Meng Xu has seen my lord, my lord, you are right, he came to us after you left, the first thousand heavenly soldiers were personally detained by him, and the second heavenly soldiers were trained for a short time, they are all in Bai Yujing now, most of them have rebelled, and some have rebelled, and several brothers and I deliberately rebelled with him according to your orders, and became the leader of these chess pieces. β
Bahamut got dressed and nodded at the man named Meng Xu,
"Did you catch the devil? I always had a bad premonition. β
"Didn't you kill him?"
"You think too highly of me, and you underestimate him too much, Meng Xu, take me back to Bai Yujing, I don't have a little strength now, even if it's just a mortal, I can't deal with it, it's still too far-fetched to use this trick here, let's go back to Bai Yujing first, you notify the rest of the people, search for the location of the demon, the Heavenly Array is fully opened, guard against the city, don't let him enter Bai Yujing, otherwise this is even more serious than a rebellion." Bahamut put his hand on Meng Xu's hand, and the latter flew out of here with Bahamut.
Bahamut stood on the ground, looking at the corpses around him that had been killed by a blow, he shook his head, and walked through it with Meng Xu,
"And ....... Halfway through Bahamut's words, his arm was raised slightly, and a corpse that suddenly stabbed at Bahamut with a jet-black dagger instantly turned into smoke and disappeared, "What I just said is false that there is no power. β
Bahamut clapped his hands, and a pair of wings reflecting the stars appeared behind him, he flew to the top of the stone and looked towards Bai Yujing, the sun had already set, and only a few remaining rays of light were still struggling to shoot in the sky, reflecting on Bai Yujing's heavenly array, distinguishing it from the stars in the outside world, and it looked like a black eggshell.
"Your Excellency. Meng Xu flew to Bahamut's side.
"If you bury them here, you can be regarded as returning home. Bahamut said suddenly.
"Yes. Meng Xu nodded.
Bahamut pointed to Bai Yujing in the distance, and then placed his palm under it, as if holding the black eggshell.
Then, with his fists clenched, Bahamut whistled through the air and flew there.
The wings that reflected the stars flew into the stars under the stars.
Nightfall.
