Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 162 The homeland left in my heart

"Is it finally over?"

The wind and sand dissipated, the gravel melted into the desert, the aura of destruction shattered along with the darkness and chaos, and the storm between heaven and earth finally subsided.

However, the deep shock from the soul still hasn't dissipated, especially after he truly realized the victory, the blood flowed more and more.

That is the Eye of Annihilation, an existence that is almost comparable to a god, but it was defeated by mortals like them.

It was like a mirage above the scorching desert, making everyone feel a little unreal.

However, it is only the so-called "mortals" like them who can stop the Eye of Annihilation and the fate of destruction.

Standing up slowly, brushing off the gravel from their bodies, the rising sun was reflected in the pupils of everyone——they fought against the Annihilating Eye for a whole day and night.

Naturally, there was a tired look on his face, but what was more, was the radiance of victory after surpassing destruction.

Under the rising sun, the shadow of the figure standing at the front grew longer and longer with the rising sun, just like a stretching Great Wall, Wei Ran stood tall on this endless desert.

The brilliance around Lu Yu was so dazzling that it made people feel that he had merged with the sun.

The scorching heat wave slightly distorted Lu Yu's back, Hua Mulan couldn't help calling his name, and at the same time walked towards the figure bathed in the brilliance.

"Lu Yu"

"Mulan."

Hua Mulan was not disappointed, the warm smile came as promised, just like the rising sun, which made people feel at ease.

Turning around, Lu Yu stepped on the sun and walked towards Hua Mulan.

"Hmph, I'll take a step first."

A trace of loneliness flashed between the blue pupils, King Lanling hummed softly as if mocking himself, and wanted to leave first.

"Master, don't you stay and join us?"

However, the corner of King Lanling's clothes was held by Xuan Ce, which forced him to stop.

"I don't need the same kind."

There was no expression on the face covered by the mask, King Lanling just said coldly.

"But, don't you also have something important that you want to protect?"

Xuan Ce tightly grasped the corner of Lanling King's clothes, still unwilling to let go.

Although he was an enemy and had many times of sharp blade intersections, in fact, King Lanling is the same as the Great Wall guards—he also has a hometown that he wants to protect.

That's why, he never wanted the former Zhuliu City to fall into the hands of others, whether it was the army of the empire or the monsters in the desert.

However, in this world now, there is no Zhuliu City, and the only thing left is Gao Changgong.

The god of death wandering in the dark, he is lonely and pitiful.

"What's important, boy, is it your turn as an apprentice to educate your master?"

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, King Lanling just gently put down Xuan Ce's hand.

"There is no place in the world that can accommodate me, and I have long been used to being alone."

Seemingly helpless and understanding something, King Lanling still chose to leave his back to the members of the Great Wall Guards.

"However, I really envy you, you people who regard the Great Wall as their hometown."

Thinking back to the past, King Lanling wanted to make the Great Wall guards fall into despair and give up resistance. Now it seems so ridiculous.

The Great Wall will never be breached, precisely because of people like them who regard the Great Wall as their home and hometown.

"Actually, you can also find your hometown, because it has always been in your heart, isn't it?"

Lu Yu came and looked at the god of death who had been hostile in the past, but his back was so lonely at this time, which made people feel a little sad.

"Since you have chosen to protect the Duhu Mansion and this desert, it means that you have always remembered your former homeland."

Lu Yu also knew that the former Zhuliu City was crushed by the imperial army, and on the original ruins, the current Protectorate's Mansion was established.

Everything that King Lanling did before was to let the flames of revenge reproduce the shadow of Zhuliu City in the past.But he was created by hatred like this, but he didn't want the Duhufu to be destroyed by other people's hands.

""

King Lanling could not refute, because what Lu Yu said was indeed true.

In fact, Zhuliu City has always been there, and it is now the Protectorate's Mansion. Although its appearance has changed greatly, and the old people no longer exist, for King Lanling, it is still the hometown that remains in his heart.

This is also why King Lanling always stands silently on the sandy desert in the night of the full moon, lonely but never leaves, watching the land that can awaken his memory.

"Don't think that by saying so much, we are no longer enemies."

As if he didn't want to hear Lu Yu's approach, King Lanling responded coldly, and mercilessly slapped away his hand that wanted to hook his shoulders and back.

"Actually, the truth is not what you imagine."

Hua Mulan spoke suddenly, and King Lanling turned around silently.

"The destruction of Zhuliu City was not actually done by the empire itself. Behind it, there are behind-the-scenes masterminds who are manipulating all of this."

Hua Mulan told Mixin that the iron cavalry of the empire came to the desert, not only to regain the lost land occupied by the demon seeds and horse thieves, but also to bring new vitality to the barren desert.

However, Zhuliu City, as well as the mirage in the desert in the cloud, those cities with ancient history, have been attacked.

The enemy pretended to be the army of the empire, just to provoke a war between the desert and the empire.

"A military in disguise."

Thinking silently at the side, Hua Mulan's words reminded Lu Yu of what Li Bai once said to him, that his hometown in the mirage was also destroyed by the imperial army.

Behind all this, is there really a mastermind behind the scenes?

Ming Shiyin, could it be you too?

As long as there are any problems and conspiracies, Lu Yu can't help but think about Ming Shiyin, because so far, since he came to King's Continent, any bad things that happened have something to do with Ming Shiyin .

"Hmph, if it's really a conspiracy, I will investigate it clearly."

In fact, King Lanling has also investigated the conspiracy behind this, but it is difficult to get a clue. In his mind, there will always be that terrible nightmare constantly lingering.

"However, as long as you want to come, you can come anytime. Since you have fought together, you are teammates."

Su Lie, who has always been heavy and serious, said, he could see the confusion and loneliness in King Lanling's eyes, as well as the longing for his homeland.

He also hopes that King Lanling can join them to guard the Great Wall and the peace of the desert together, so that the tragedy of the past will never happen again.
