Caiyunnan capital, Gangduo.

The originally prosperous and noble royal city has now become a Shura hell.

It can be seen that there was a great war here, and there are tragic scenes after the war everywhere. The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and the blood on the walls could not be washed away. And on the mass graves outside the city, the corpses that have not had time to be buried are piled up, and the crows that represent death feast here in flocks.

The Great War was followed by a great plague, and many people in Gondor were infected with the plague, and some even fell headlong in the process of burying their corpses, becoming corpses themselves.

Outside the city was a place of death, and the inside of the city was not spared. Every family has lost a loved one, and a patch of vegetarian food hangs in the city. In this oppressive white sea, the cries, sobs, and screams are endless, and the city of Gondor is like hell!

The main culprit of all this is the alliance of princes who have just retreated. Led by careerist Harmon Cook, they came to Gondor to fight for the throne, expecting to establish a new dynasty, but unexpectedly lost their commander at a critical moment!

A pack of wolves led by a headless wolf is no match for tigers.

When Conan (Angel) appeared at the head of the city in the name of "king", the princes' allied army was in turmoil and collapsed without a fight. Levi Cook took advantage of the situation and defeated him in one fell swoop, and the siege of Gondor was over.

However, although the alliance of princes retreated, the damage they did to Gondor could not be changed.

Gondor's men were seven or eight out of ten in this battle, and their vitality was greatly damaged. The establishment of a new dynasty is in ruins, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recover within ten years. It is foreseeable that in time, they will surely make a comeback under the leadership of another "Hamon Cook" and stage a "siege of Gondor" again! If the new dynasty wants to gain a firm foothold, it must race against time and reach the general trend of the world before the princes act.

To the south of Gondor, there is a building away from the crowds. It is surrounded by tall walls, and the impenetrable guards make it even more mysterious. It's dark, it's cold, and there's an uncomfortable smell that makes people stay away from it. This is Gondor's dungeon, and people call it "Land of Despair"!

The prison is different from the prison, where the people are held are all felons who have committed the most heinous crimes, and even if they are amnesty to the world, they will never be pardoned. Family members are not allowed to visit the prison, and ordinary people are afraid to avoid it, so the people who come here, except for the jailers, are prisoners.

But there are always exceptions to everything, and there is a big man in today's prison.

The jailers were all whispering, and it was not difficult for them to guess the meaning of this big man, but they only dared to say it behind their backs, and on the surface, no one dared to talk to each other.

Levi Cook, the commander of the Southern Praetorian Guard of Caiyun, a lonely and loyal old minister, adhered to the orthodoxy of the Southern King for decades, single-handedly supported the legacy of the Southern King to claim the throne, and was named the prince of the town by the new king, in charge of the country's soldiers and horses, concurrently serving as the Taifu, and receiving a rank, which can be called under one person, above ten thousand people, both civil and military, and a very human minister. But who would have thought that the high-ranking Levi Cook would have a son who was locked up in prison?

Levi Cook ignored the whispers of the crowd, even though he knew that if he expressed his anger, those who chewed their tongues behind their backs would disappear from the world in no time. But he didn't. The king can't say anything about sinners, and even though he's still a minister, he has never forgotten his duty as a courtier, even though he is now a supreme minister.

The world calls him a dead head and an old stubborn, but they fear him from the bottom of their hearts, for the courage and loyalty that he seems a little pedantic but undoubtedly correct in this age.

Levi Cook walked step by step through the aisle next to the cell, and the vicious prisoners saw that he was dressed in fine clothes, knew that he was noble, and laughed and scolded him, but he ignored these foul words, and did not even show a trace of displeasure. Levi Cook ignored him, but the cell boss who was with Levi Cook broke out in a cold sweat, glaring viciously at the foul-mouthed prisoners, and secretly praying in his heart that Levi Cook would not bother with him.

Fortunately, the road was not very long, and it didn't take long for them to come to a large iron gate.

"Further down is the dungeon, the rebel...... Harmon Cook was detained at the bottom of the dungeon. The big commander, the villain will not follow. The cell boss was very interested, and after opening the big iron door with the key, he stepped aside and made his attitude clear.

Levi Cook was noncommittal, and walked inside. His attitude was a little strange, but the cell boss didn't dare to ask more. After all, judging from the current situation, Levi Cook is too normal, but it seems a little abnormal!

The cell boss looked at Levi Cook's distant back, and couldn't help but sigh, in the end, it is a pity for the parents of the world, the general has such a son, it is really heartbreaking!

Levi Cook descended the stairs and walked through a long corridor to the bottom of the prison.

The heavenly dungeon above is purgatory on earth, while the dungeon below is boundless darkness. The most terrible punishment in the world is not physical torture, but mental destruction of a person.

Why do humans fear the dark? Because darkness magnifies the fear in the human heart.

Almost everyone who enters the dungeon will go crazy. Dark, depressed, and lonely, they are people who have been abandoned by this world. Their fate is to die silently in this forgotten corner. What punishment could be more torturous than this?

And in the depths of this dark dungeon, the most vicious criminals in the entire South of the Clouds are imprisoned.

He is the commander of the alliance of princes who has been angrily denounced by the world as "the root of all evil", and has the notoriety of "traitor", "careerist", "anti-bone boy" and so on - Harmon Cook!

But at the same time, Harmon Cook has another identity, the biological son of Levi Cook, the commander of the Praetorian Guard in the South of the Clouds, and his only son!

The Father and the Son meet again, but in such a place, I have to say, what a great irony!

"Are you coming?"

A chuckle came from the darkness, and Harmon Cook appeared in front of Levi Cook. He didn't seem to be driven crazy by the dark dungeon, he was still as gentle as when he first came in, like a spring breeze.

"I didn't expect that the one who came to see me off on my last journey would actually be my father! Great Commander, oh no, you are now promoted! Should you be called Zhenguo Gong or Taifu? Did you come to see me, a person who is waiting to die, on the orders of the new king?"

Harmon Cook shook his head, as if he was a little surprised, or relieved, and simply sat on the ground and looked at his father: "What is the new king going to do with me......?

"Harmon ......," Levi Cook shook his head bitterly, "if you will confess your mistake, I will intercede for you before the king." Don't put this black gauze hat on your head, I'll save you too!"

"Haha! Wrong? What is wrong with me!" Harmon Cook suddenly laughed out loud, and a wave of arrogance continued to emerge from him, forcing Levi Cook to take a few steps back, "But the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain! I am defeated, not to you, nor to the new king, I am defeated to this thief God! I am defeated by this damn fate! Princes and generals, I would rather have a kind of defeat? Lose the world, lose all the games! Lose, I admit it! But, I am not wrong!"

Anger swelled up on Levi Cook's face: "For his own selfishness, he did not hesitate to start a war, causing the corpses of Caiyun South to be all over the field, ten rooms and nine empty!

"The road to the throne is paved by the bones of the world, how can you be a king if you don't fight or grab?" Hamon Cook looked crazy, no longer the calm and breezy appearance before, "Also, don't say anything for the peace of the people, for the peace of the world and other high-sounding words! You are for the name of the former dynasty and for your own reputation behind you! It's all for yourself, don't pretend to be a good person!"

Levi Cook closed his eyes in agony, he didn't want to see his son look so ugly.

"The new king is grateful for the loyalty of my Cook clan, and orders that you be spared the death penalty, and that you will be imprisoned here for the rest of your life. This is a mercy to you, thank you. ”

"Imprison me, and do you want me to be grateful to Dade?Dream! If you have the ability, kill me!" Harmon Cook shook the prison door in front of him desperately, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was full of black gas, and it was obvious that the calm at the beginning was just his disguise. He was on the verge of madness.

"You can't do this to me! I am a king! I am a proud king! I don't need your pity! Kill me! Kill me! You cowards, kill me if you have the ability! Levi Cook! Why don't you kill me! Kill me! Kill me......"

Levi Cook left the dungeon, and the large iron door closed behind him again, masking the shouting and scolding of the dungeon.

"Hamon, my son, I hope you are here, and spend the rest of your life thinking about what you are doing wrong......"

The cold air from the outside world hit, Levi Cook shivered, tightened his clothes, and walked out step by step. It's just that his always straight back looks stiff at this time, and it is no longer as tough as before......

......
