Sanctuary Huazhang III Tianyuan

Chapter 14

Chapter14

Three months into the war, corpses and wounded people on the border have become commonplace, and the panic and deaths have not yet spread to the main city. A large number of reserve troops have been sent to the front line, and a group of elite troops are defending several key cities.

Weeping children can be seen everywhere, the storefronts on the messy streets no longer exist, and the buildings destroyed by magic have collapsed, desolately showing death.

Grace evacuated ordinary citizens safely, and provided material reserves in key defended cities to maintain people's normal living needs.

The main city has been strictly blocked, and all foreigners are strictly checked. Our fake identities barely pass the customs but we have to keep a low profile.

No matter how carefully it is created, it is still an illusion. The dark clouds of war have shrouded the entire light blue sky, and the green trees are still green, but it arouses the feeling that things are different.

Newspapers will spend the entire first page analyzing the battle situation, and spend three consecutive pages stabilizing people's hearts.I watched the same news and said to Owen: "I didn't know that war is so terrible."

Owen looked indifferent, objecting and asked in surprise: "Have you really never seen a battlefield?"

"...Are you mocking me?"

Owen suddenly realized, and then said solemnly: "I have never experienced such a big battle, but I have been on the battlefield one after another since I was five hundred years old. I was afraid at first and then I got used to it."

I patted his head: "It's so pitiful, if I knew at that time, I wouldn't let you enter the Battle Academy without saying anything, and let you watch such bloody things at a young age."

Owen smiled: "I don't regret it at all. It was because I grew up so much at that time that I was able to mature."

I exaggeratedly threw the newspaper aside: "Wow, Owen is just different from others. I dream that I don't want to grow up to be a fool all the time!"

"I used to think simplicity was good..." Owen kissed me on the cheek, smiling contentedly.

"I remember that when you first came back, you were extremely depressed. You drank and fell asleep all day and night, and you were even exaggeratedly thinner than when you were a child."

"At that time, I thought, Eden has always been so kind to me, he is always smiling and laughing at everything in life, why can Luo Sihua hurt him so much? And these hurts, one day I can Erase it for him?"

I was stunned, Owen was in a very bad mood, as worried as I was when I was with Luo Sihua.

"Don't think like this. The most annoying thing in my life is that someone takes care of me like a child. I can already be alone, and I don't need anyone's attention."

"That's why I asked myself to admire you." Owen solemnly said, "I don't care how hard it is or how much it costs. I want to protect you and give you support."

I couldn't even speak, so I leaned over and kissed him.

Even if he is the only one left in my life to rely on, I still can't even make a promise.

I think I have made many vows hastily, about a lifetime, about eternal companionship, about the future of marriage, none of which was realized in the end.

This may be almost a fateful punishment.

But in my life, I no longer dare to make promises to anyone.

The days of waiting for mold in the house were very difficult. I used a standard lover's criterion to criticize myself for being better to Owen, and wasted a lot of time every day on getting bored.

Ain hurried back, "Hurry up, Yier, you can either leave Grace immediately or wait here for a fierce battle. You have three seconds to make a choice!"

It's been a long time since I saw Ai Yin in such a panic, and Owen also came out of the bedroom: "What's wrong? Is the war not going well?"

Ain's beautiful hair was a bit messy, she stroked it casually and said irritably: "I don't have time to explain, I arranged for a private boat to wait at the port, after all, you are too powerful, I can't let you get hurt in Grace."

I glanced at Owen: "We won't leave easily when we come. I just want to know all the developments. Tell me what happened."

"There is no time. Your Majesty summoned my legion for a secret meeting, and he will issue new instructions... If you don't leave, there is really no chance!"

"You can rest assured of my personal safety, Elliott would not have sent me if I hadn't been sure that I was fine."

"Eden, think it over clearly, you are fighting for your spirit race!" Ain snapped, and I continued to nod.

After a while, she compromised: "Put on these clothes and pretend to be a member of my army, and I will take you to a secret meeting..."

Dress neatly, a pure black dress is a color that I have never matched, the brim of the hat is very low to cover the face, and the robe with the collar covers the mouth and nose.

I was speechless: "Ai Yin, don't you think this is a little too deliberate?"

"Don't talk nonsense, our team uniforms are all like this." Ain impatiently said, "Stand wherever I tell you to stand in a while, be obedient and don't cause trouble."

We are kind and follow her to reach the destination.

Grace's supreme palace is located in the south of the main city, surrounded by the most beautiful scenery in the royal city, the lush trees and green grass create a rare harmony and tranquility.

The palace of the emperor is magnificent.

The sun shines on the white castle through the mottled tree shadows, like ghosts and ghosts, and the looming glimmer depicts the vicissitudes and antiquity.

There is a circular river in front of the Palace of King Grace. The gurgling water can wash away the magic, and all people who pass the river will show their true colors. Some people call it "the real clear stream".

I followed Ain across the river.

If the disguise on the outside can be removed by magic, what about the disguise on the heart?

Ai Yin's team is really not a legion, there are only about 100 people by visual inspection, and they are lined up densely on the square in front of the hall. Without exception, they are all dressed in black robes and cannot see their faces.

"You stand at the ninth in the third row, and Owen, you are at the seventh in the eighth row." Ain whispered, and then said to the audience: "Just listen for a while, and don't talk to anyone."

We waited in the main hall for a while before Lord Grace arrived, and saw the army frowning.

Grace's monarch is Alfred, the first one among the current emperors to succeed to the throne. The first time I heard about it was through the mouth of Ain.

"Your Majesty." We saluted together, and our eyes fell on the king.

Sure enough, all monarchs are naturally handsome. Alfred has light brown skin, sharp edges and corners on his handsome face, and gorgeous gemstones dangle from the slightly pointed earlobes of the Mia tribe.

Alfred looked at us complicatedly, and turned to Ain without saying a word: "I heard that you still have no plans to fight in the near future."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ai Yin's performance is undoubtedly very decent, maybe it's because of enough time and experience, I didn't see that she had any personal feelings for Alfred at all.

Alfred asked coldly: "Ai Yin, the situation is very serious. I trust you to leave the decision in your hands. Now that Orson has led his troops to the Frobby River, don't you plan to attack? ?”

Ai Yin stared at him blankly, fingering his palms: "Your Majesty, it's easy for us to go to war, it's nothing more than an order, but you know the consequences, if you do, all these people will die."

"Is that why you summoned all the troops here in violation of the court decree?"

An unknown piece of music suddenly came out from outside the hall, ethereal and sad, euphemistic and melodious, the joy of the past and today's loss are in stark contrast.

Ain clenched his fists: "I have to do this. I knew that such a day would come when everyone and I decided to pledge our lives, but this is not the reason for us to sacrifice unconditionally."

Alfred satirized: "What kind of situation do you think is a crisis? Does Orson have to take the main city?"

Ai Yin replied quietly: "Your Majesty, what I promised in the past is very clear that the Black Magic Legion is a power that is only used when there is no need to fight, and should not place the main hope on us."

"But now it is related to the survival of everyone in the Mia tribe." Alfrey also rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Olson has transferred the current general back, and there will be a short truce now, but unfortunately the new The leader is Knight Commander Patrick."

I can understand how grim the situation is for Grace. Patrick's name on the battlefield is invincible.

"The battlefield is uncertain for the fighters, but it is certain for us." Ai Yin said this very calmly, and the team was not surprised at all.

"So I don't want to make meaningless sacrifices. If His Majesty wants us to fight, he should wait until we are fully prepared."

"What do you need to prepare?"

"The power of black magic can only be fully released through dark-attribute artifacts. At that time, it can release a powerful power comparable to light magic."

I was shocked when I heard this. Grace's Black Magic Legion is indeed a thing, and it can reach a hundred people.

I suddenly felt a little ridiculous, the Holy Wings were using the brightest magic in the world to invade other races, but the invaded party had to use black magic to defend their home and country.

Isn't it ridiculous?

Ain continued to explain: "I have already found the original stone cross. I believe that this kind of power is enough to inflict heavy damage on Orson. Of course, the follow-up war must ask the ordinary army to fight for it."

"Hasn't the original stone cross been sealed all the time?"

"All seals are imposed by humans, so there must be a way to untie them." Ain said rationally, "I must be [-]% sure to let everyone take risks, so that I can be worthy of the death of hundreds of people."

He frowns and remains silent.

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to protect Grace. This is our homeland. We grew up here and love this place. Now we will not watch it fall and remain indifferent."

"Ai Yin, I don't want my own people to be in danger either. This kind of suicidal combat strategy is also very painful for me." He raised his voice: "Everyone, please believe that Grace will remember every hero present."

Ai Yin lowered her eyes, and her slender eyelashes were full of tears: "We know that we have to fight for ourselves."

The crowd repeated: "Fight for peace, for freedom, for yourself."

They would rather sacrifice themselves to get the peace they can no longer see, and they don't care about enjoying the freedom they have gained from the successful resistance, and they have to pay their lives in the war.

How many people are still willing to pay regardless of conditions?They are destined to be regarded as only a non-staff participating in the war. Their goal is death, but no one will remember them.

It was an almost unworthy funeral.

I finally understood that the assassination that I knew was impossible many years ago was too extreme, but I had no choice.
