() The war has been going on for a long time in the northwest border fortress of the dragon country Stas. (Please remember our website address) After winter, the alliance had to dispatch a large number of ice elves to the front line to minimize the consumption of overall strength.Since ancient times, the fire elf country and the dragon tribe have always been at war. They don't know when it will start, and they don't know when it will end.But since it has lasted so long, no one can expect to live to see one country conquer another country.The world is always in such a delicate balance. After all, conflict only wastes a lot of resources to delay the other party's progress in writing a glorious history.
It has been nearly a week since I arrived at the northwest border fortress. Even if I have received war training before, after all, there is still a big difference between the real battlefield and the theoretical description.Kalin's mind went blank, and he watched expressionlessly as the soldiers of the Kingdom were cleaning the battlefield in the sunset. The winter dusk was extremely cold, and even if he wore a thick coat, the cold wind would still get through the gaps in his clothes, and Kalin Now I am not in the mood to take care of this.
Just a routine battle in the afternoon, with mechanical charges, body collisions, and energy blows, the lives of tens of thousands of elves disappeared like this.In the moat outside the fortress, the elf corpses piled up were sorted out, piled together, and then transported to a distant open space for cremation. Such a simple thing in itself was quite heavy in the eyes.On the far wall opposite, the fire elf priest was dancing a requiem, simply and quietly.
This is not the feeling of Tian. Over the past few days, Kalin has gradually become numb. It seems to be natural that elves are just consumables in the war between countries. The alliance can replenish as much as it consumes at any time, whether it is a trainer, Or elves, they all have the same fate.
I thought that being an elf trainer was a happy profession, where you could be carefree with your favorite elves, travel freely, encourage each other, make progress together, and achieve a respectable status in the alliance. Now it seems that all this is just It's just a bubble.No wonder Sola once said that he was not suitable to come to the border.
Karin turned back, and Sora was also standing on top of the hundred-high city wall, looking at everything with the same expressionless expression.He came here as a bodyguard of Carlin. After all, even the leader of the alliance is only an outsider in the war, but because of his identity, he must ensure her safety, not to mention that she is so willful that she wants to stand high on the fortress wall. .
"Thorin." She stepped forward and tried to put on a calm expression. "What's going on today?"
"Three thousand, 250 ice elves, 530 two flying dragon elves, and 32 elite trainers left this world during the battle. The enemy's data is not very accurate. About [-] ice elves were lost. Other attributes are not calculated. There are about fifty elf trainers." He replied calmly, "It's you, Olivia, I don't think you should stay here anymore. You have the task of sending the elf to the border fortress. It’s done, you need to get back to reporting as soon as possible.”
"Thorin, I have a lot to say." Karin had no idea about the numbers Sola reported. After several days of results like this, she no longer dared to have any ideas.When I excitedly brought tens of thousands of ice elves from the alliance to the border, I never thought it would be like this.
"Shall I accompany you for a walk? The temperature on the city wall is very low. If you keep standing like this, you will soon freeze." Sora took one last look at the battlefield outside the fortress, then turned back and said to Karin , "Although it seems cruel, after all, no country is willing to relax the border issue because of this..."
"Because the lives of soldiers are precious, why should we switch to the battlefield of elves?" Karin asked helplessly, "It looks like I feel extremely uncomfortable."
"Olivia." He pulled Karin over, not letting her look at the battlefield again.The two people walked along the stairs on the inner city wall to the ground. "If elves rule this world, will there be a title like human trainer? Will humans be the main force in the war between elven countries?"
It was just a simple rhetorical question from Sora, but Karin couldn't answer it.Indeed, it is a tacit understanding among all countries on the continent that nature sacrifices the lives of other species to obtain the interests of the human country. Although the consumption of soldiers is not considered, the attack power or destructive power of the elves alone, None of them are as strong as human soldiers can achieve.This is a very ironic reality. An alliance leader who likes elves very much actually personally brought tens of thousands of elves to such a place.It's not that Carlin can't forgive himself, he just needs a reason and a long period of reflection.
"Thorin," she said, "I have slowly accepted these realities. After all, elves are just tools for war. No matter what, going back 1000 years ago, the profession of elf trainers and the alliance emerged because of the needs of war. Organization, and positions similar to the King of Heaven. Sorry, I have never considered your feelings before. Until now, standing in this place, I finally understand that as the leader of the alliance, I am still too naive. After all, elves are just tools, not "?" She emphasized the fact that elves are just tools for the second time, hoping to vent her long-term repression.Sora's role may just be a punching bag. After all, in this situation, Sora is willing to share all the uneasiness.
"Olivia. My hands are already stained with the smell of elves' blood, and I have always been surrounded by the souls of elves that have not dispersed for a long time." Sola pretended to be very relaxed, "There are people in the world. If there is no way to escape some things, please try to accept it first, and then use your own power to change it. I once wanted to change the world, but I failed in the end and ended up like this."
"Well, Thorin, let's go back in a few days. After all, Christmas is coming. I think Christmas still has to be spent in Longdu. Although leaving here, I think it is an act of escaping, but I already understand , it is completely impossible for me to accept it now." Although Sora didn't say anything, Karin's mood calmed down a lot, "The so-called sense of security, when I am with you, even though I am weak and have nothing to do, Yes, but I feel reassured."
Kalin finally understood why Sora insisted on coming with him when he asked to come to the border a week ago. It seemed that he was a little too pushy, but Sora, who seemed to be indifferent to the current world, didn't care about Kalin. Lin's understanding is even deeper than his own.
Although they had only been dating for less than two weeks, Carlin could clearly feel that this historical demon king was indeed not as cold-blooded as recorded in the records. At least Sora had no regard for Carlin and all the members in the temple. , never had a cold-blooded expression.It wasn't until dusk when he entered the fortress, and Sora stood on the top of the fortress and watched indifferently the closing work of the battlefield, that Kalin realized that this face as simple as his own had gone through many unbearable dark experiences before he could stand in that place. He was so calm at that time, at least he had fainted in the corner of the city wall.When he woke up, Sora smiled and reported to himself the number of elves lost that day. That expression seemed to indicate that the number he quoted was just a number after all.
As Sora said, when this world is ruled by another more powerful species, perhaps humans will be just tools of war, the same status as elves today.As peaceful as ever within the country, when the aura of peace affects the carefree city, the elf trainer is just an entertainment profession.
"Olivia." Sola added, "Certain things are only suitable for those who are truly suitable to do such things."
Due to the falling fine snow, the visibility in the city was very low. The cold wind blew into the city around the top of the city wall, and the smell of blood it brought gave Karin the urge to vomit.Perhaps as Sora said, it is only suitable for specific people to participate. People who have nothing to do with it should be more honest, pretend not to know anything, enjoy their lives with peace of mind, and enjoy the profession of trainer with the aura of happiness and hard work.
Sola smiled slightly, "I didn't mean to laugh at you." In fact, it was not suitable to discuss this issue in such a mood, but Sola said it.Burying her head in his arms, Karin felt that Sola's heartbeat was terrifyingly calm, but she felt that she had no reason to accuse Sola of being indifferent.
"I used to think that you could accept everything you know, but it still seemed too naive. I have always been a very naive, but quite self-righteous guy."
"Taking all the responsibilities on oneself belongs to the dragon family, no, the stubbornness of the Yilan family. Maybe their power can really save the world. I think that occasionally letting companions share a little bit of responsibility will make both parties relaxed. a lot of."
kindness.Sora has said the same thing more than once. Just like what he said, Kalin is just quite stubborn.Stubbornly made a request to come to the border with the ice elves in Raglan's place, stubbornly stood at the highest point of the fortress and watched the killings on the battlefield under circumstances that he could not bear, and then stubbornly sympathized with everything. .If a person has too many emotions, life will eventually become tiring for them.
I don’t know when or which wise man of the Dragon Clan left such a controversial statement. Now, Carlin’s attitude towards this statement has changed from nonsense to one that needs to be understood from a specific perspective. Karin understood it completely this time, as long as he could let go of other baggage in his heart.But it's not that simple at all.
Although the command of the war is not Carlin's job, as the leader of the alliance, it is necessary to participate in the summary and report every day. The trainer's cold and numb expression has appeared for many days, and his completely lifeless, death-like eyes have gradually faded away. Carlin accepted that they should have stayed in the interior of the country like most people and enjoyed a carefree, romantic life as trainers.At this point, Carlin's understanding of trainers has changed again.At this moment, they are soldiers. Whether they have wrinkles on their faces or are still childish, they command a large team of elves on the battlefield and perform different combat missions.This is not the day, I just hope it is the last day.
She had no intention of paying attention to the content of her words. Strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with her.Even though protecting the border is the responsibility of every citizen, Carlin also believed that it would not be of any practical significance for an outsider to get involved, so she just listened on the side, or even just pretended to listen.The figures of losses on both sides once again jumped into Karin's eyes, feeling heart-wrenchingly uncomfortable.After all, Carlin was still a bit small for those present.
After the meeting, Carlin did not stay any longer and went directly back to the villa arranged for him. Maybe he would feel a little warm here in the cold fortress.
"We have news from the Alliance. Maybe it would be better to go back earlier." Sora greeted him as soon as he entered the door.
"Yeah." Carlin patted the thin snow on his shoulders, "I'm sorry, I keep showing such an expression in front of you these days." Every time he came back from the military camp, Carlin would feel quite uncomfortable, even if the feeling was uncomfortable. Will last a long time.It only takes a little time for Sola to melt away the depression in her heart.
"The day after tomorrow there will be a train that will take the injured back to the mainland. Let's go back the day after tomorrow morning. We only have one day tomorrow. I think if you still can't accept it, just stay at home and calm down and read a book. , anything is possible, you don’t have to go out.”
unacceptable?Karin bit his lip. He once said that as the leader of the alliance, he needed to work hard to accept all these things. After all, is the leader just a position that is favored by the elders of the alliance?Perhaps if you can't even accept this, it's no wonder that after being the leader of the alliance for so long, there is no way to correct the corruption situation of the alliance from within.
"Olivia, that's not your fault." Sola knew what Karin was thinking. She had mentioned to Sola many times before about her plans after the next league competition.Sora always said the same words to comfort Karin, just like Karin was always troubled by the same thing.This world is amazing, no matter where it is.
"You'd better go take a shower and let me take care of dinner." Sora continued.
"Well, see you later. I'll get better in a little while." Carlin smiled awkwardly. The reason for the embarrassment was Carlin's cooking skills. When he came to this place, except for one night when Carlin cooked, everyone else Time has been replaced by Sola, because Carlin's craftsmanship is really unflattering. Maybe a person is too perfect, and always has to squeeze out some shortcomings in other places, and so-called balance, and Sola's The craftsmanship is quite beautiful, and Karin even feels that Elsa the witch is not in that level.
"Is that an expression of love?" This thought just passed through his mind. Carlin was about to shake his head. This was not the first time he thought this, but a person's level of cooking has little to do with whether he has love or not. Carlin himself ’s cooking skills are a good example.Looking back at Sola who was busy in the kitchen, Karin once again felt that the gift Zero Moon had given her was indeed too expensive.
Just after dinner time, the air raid sirens in the city were sounded.As expected, the fire-breathing dragons of the fire elves took advantage of the night to cause trouble again.Every morning, many corpses of fire-breathing dragons can be found during the cleaning inside the fortress. In fact, in terms of aerial power, the dragon army will be stronger, whether it is a fast dragon or a blood-winged flying dragon, the fire attribute resistance They are all quite high, and the opponent's actions will undoubtedly waste a large number of troops on this meaningless harassment.
The goblin magic lit up the sky above the fortress like day. The elves flying in the sky collided with each other. Flame jets could be seen everywhere, energy clusters that destroyed the light. The residual heat of the flames in the air brought a touch of warmth to the cold city, even if the warmth was created. from the enemy's army.Gradually, exhausted elves began to fall to the ground in the sky, including fire-breathing dragons, fast dragons, blood-winged flying dragons...
Sora accompanied Karin to the balcony on the roof. This scene may not be a battle anymore, but just the fireworks caused by the death of life. The hot air does not seem to have the intention of scalding people, it is just As usual, it drove away the cold in the city.
"Olivia, it's very dangerous outside. It's better to go back." Sola advised.Only little girls would still be dazzled by romance at such a dangerous time. Karin had already forgotten the bloody war. Whenever this happened, Sora was always helpless.Even so, Sora still stayed with Karin, because Karin wanted to stay outside just because Sora was with him.
"Thorin, it would be great if this wasn't a war. The fire elves flying all over the sky drove away the cold. In the Dragon City..."
Before Karin finished speaking, his head was held in Sola's arms and he fell to the ground. The sudden wind of flames made his ears feel hot. "Danger, Olivia."
The sparks brought by the hot wind just now had not been completely extinguished. When Karin opened her eyes, Sora was gently patting out the flames on her clothes.She looked up with an expression of surprise.If I read it correctly, the elf that caused the accident just now was not an air force unit of the fire elf clan, but another type of flying fire elf besides the fire-breathing dragon.
"Flame Bird?" Carlin was definitely surprised to see the mythical beast on the battlefield.Regardless of whether it is legend or reality, the mythical beast has never participated in the war between countries. The current situation is obviously beyond accident. If the flame bird is involved, the balance between the two sides will naturally be destroyed again, even though it is just an ordinary flame bird. Not a Vulcan, even if there is only one, it is already quite powerful.No wonder the fire-breathing dragon of the fire elf army will appear here today. Is there support after all?
"Well, Flame Bird, that's why I said it's very dangerous." Sora looked quite uncomfortable. He just hugged himself to block the flames. Most of his hair was burned by the flames, and a smell of burnt protein rushed towards him. , maybe Carlin should trim his hair later. In such danger, Carlin still did not forget to think about these irrelevant things. "I never thought that a mythical beast would appear on the battlefield. Maybe the war between us will escalate again, if the flame bird is not handled well."
Beautiful flames were flying above his head, and Karin kept raising his head to watch the movement of the flame bird.Karin travels frequently, and it's not like he has never seen mythical beasts before. It's just that this is the first time he's seen a big guy like the Flame Bird at such a close distance.If Sora hadn't been dragging him, Kalin would have almost revealed his blood-winged dragon and followed the flame bird to get a closer look. To a certain extent, Kalin was so crazy, even if it happened next time. In a war where he could lose his life in seconds, fortunately, Sora did not lose his mind like Karin.
"Go back to the house, Olivia. It's too dangerous here. I don't want to see you end up like me, having to cut off your hair. I still think Olivia with long hair will be more troublesome. People like it more." Sora pulled off a few curled hair, "This is not a good thing, but even if the flame bird suddenly appears, I believe that the commander of the dragon tribe will find a way to deal with it, even if it is a mythical beast , after all, we also have to face the tyrannical Dragon Flying Legion."
"Ground troops prepare! Water cannons are launched! Destruction beams are launched! The second flying squadron is on standby at any time!" Sure enough, it didn't take long for the response order to spread in the fortress.As Sora said, there is no way to deal with the Flame Bird, it just requires paying a corresponding price.In comparison, the elves' wails seemed to reach their ears more frequently.
Looking out of the window, many parts of the fortress were finally ignited due to the high temperature of the flames. Although it was only a matter of time before it was extinguished, human resources would eventually be needed to repair it. What reassured Carlin was that in order to reduce fire losses a long time ago, the fortress Houses have gradually been replaced by stone materials, and wooden houses will eventually be slowly consumed and replaced during the war.
Kalin turned back and said, "I'm bored in the room anyway, let me help you fix your hair." Looking at Sora's messy look, Kalin felt quite sorry. After all, he was the one who caused this. of.
Looking at it like this, all the long hair that reaches past the shoulders will be cut off and become the short hair that is popular among the male elite trainers in the league headquarters.Although it's not actually short, it's based on Sora's original hair length.After all the pretentious deletions and cuts, Sora finally had a non-awkward image. Compared to the usual Sora who didn't care much about his hairstyle, the short-haired Sora naturally looked more energetic. To be honest, After all, this is the only thing that Carlin is satisfied with recently. Even though he feels a little sorry for Sora in appearance, Carlin has indeed trimmed it according to the perfect image in his imagination.
"My last haircut was done by my sister." Sola hadn't opened her eyes yet, because Karin's scissors were still moving. "Since then, I haven't had any more haircuts. In fact, I haven't had any haircuts since. It’s just that after a year or two, maybe I grew my hair long and looked more decadent. I originally planned to cut it off, but there was no chance.”
"You may not be used to this look at first, and you may need to trim it again after returning to Longdu." Carlin looked at his results again, and seemed still not satisfied. "Sorry, this is my first time doing this to someone..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you like it." Sora replied.Although Carlin was unlikely to like the results of giving someone a haircut for the first time, it seemed like they were just words of comfort after all.
"What do you think about the Flame Bird thing?" After thinking about it, Carlin still felt quite uneasy.Now that the other party has used divine beasts, this dispute may not be that simple.When I calmed down, I realized that enjoying the so-called romance on the roof just now was a pretty crazy move. Of course, the consequences were also pretty crazy. Sora lost his "beautiful" long hair. At the same time, that A beautiful sacrificial robe was also burned into disarray by the flames.
Opening his eyes, Soraci saw his new image, but was slightly stunned for a moment, but did not make any comments after all.Even though it was only for a moment, Carlin still saw Sola's expression. It was obvious that Carlin had done something quite a failure, another one besides cooking a few days ago.Karin found it very strange. When it came to dressing up, he had always done it himself. It seemed that the effect of dressing himself up was quite different from that of dressing up Sora. It was already quite good for Sola to remain silent about this. reacted.Karin stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
"Well... in short, the intensity of the war will increase. Maybe I will take you back tomorrow, no matter what method, or even fly back. It is too dangerous here, now that the Fire Elf army has joined the Flame Birds With such combat power, not to mention where it comes from, in short, this is definitely not a suitable place for you to stay. As for the battle situation here, I think that although the Flame Bird's attack power is very powerful, But as far as the strength of the dragon army is concerned, defense is not always a problem. After all, the ground troops can't get here, and the fire elves' air force is only a small part of their army."
Sora tried to speak as simply as possible so that Kalin could understand.It seems that a lot of effort has been put into it, but Carlin still has only a little understanding. He only knows that Sora means to get him out of this dangerous place, and the other thing he wants to express is that there will not be anyone in this fortress in a short time. The problem of resource shortage will not be solved due to this.
"I'm always worried..."
"Olivia, that's not something you should worry about." Sola said the same thing again.He doesn't expect to be able to correct Carlin's stubborn idea in a short time, but he will just remind him whenever he has such a tendency. "If you are worried that the Congress also intends to use the power of some mythical beasts in the army, don't worry, I don't think Elsa will agree to this. After all, whether it is the Alliance or the Congress, the power of the mythical beasts must be used , you must communicate with God through the temple, right?”
"That's true..." Karin tilted his head toward the window again, and there were still burning elven bodies in the sky that continued to fall to the ground.The figure of the flame bird flashed occasionally, although there was only one, it lasted for such a long time, and it was still venting its inexhaustible power. Tonight's battle lasted a little too long. Under normal circumstances, the battlefield would have been tidied up. , and it’s time to remove the lighting magic from the entire sky.
"What if...I mean what if, that flame bird is defeated, or in other words, as long as it is knocked down and, if possible, captured, what will happen?" After thinking for a while, Kalin asked. "Should the fighting end, or will it continue?"
"No matter what the circumstances, please don't consider such a thing." Sola's answer was very direct, "If you are willing to sacrifice the lives of a large number of elves, well, a large number of fast dragons and blood-winged dragons, I mean risking your lives , maybe..." Sola did not continue, "If the anger is ignited, the destructive power will be quite huge. That is only the last choice. Do you think... In this world, there are countless elves who have lived for hundreds of years, and you If you work hard..." Sola said with a bitter smile. Looking at this expression, the result that will be revealed later will definitely not be easy.
"But... I guess the commander has already issued such an order. This is a battlefield after all..." Karin looked at the increasingly dense dragon elves in the sky. He estimated that tonight's battle would not end so early. Tomorrow Get up early, in addition to closing down the battlefield, you also have to resettle the citizens who have lost their homes because of this.
Although it is a border fortress, it is still a city. Although there are not many residents, they have lived in this cold and desolate northwest town for generations.It seems that there has never been any intention to move, and it seems that I just don't know where to drift.
"Well..." Sora said noncommittally, "I don't know if the fortress can bear this loss. However, no matter what, I will be by your side. However, occasionally you have to consider the situation around you. I can't foresee where the danger will come from. If something happens somewhere, it may not be as simple as today next time.”
"Okay." Kalin tried his best to stop those unrealistic thoughts. Sora accompanied him here, after all, he appeared as a bodyguard. Because of this, Kalin often made those dangerous actions, and In the end, no real danger was encountered.If Sora hadn't stopped him, perhaps Karin would have insisted on going to the temporary hospital to take care of the injured captives. That was no longer crazy and could be explained clearly.
Karin did not run outside the house anymore, but moved the sofa to the window and looked at the scene above the city.The elves of both armies are constantly being replenished, and it still seems that "the elves are just a number." For the commanders of both sides, these small losses can be completely ignored. After a while, , each will replenish a large amount of new combat power, and now they are just consuming the part that may have become saturated due to the replenishment.The truth is so cruel.
Until the last bit of cold air in the city was driven away by the endless flames in the sky, Karin opened the window, and the slightly warm wind blew into the room, which finally made it much warmer.There was a fierce battle outside the villa, but the residents in the city used it to keep warm. It seemed that everyone was used to this kind of life and slowly became numb. Even Karin could accept it within a few days. She occasionally had Some feelings are just occasional.
Just as Sora said, as the aerial power of the dragon elves was slowly consumed, the energy of the Flame Bird was also slowly consumed. After an unknown period of absence, Sora told Carlin that the Flame Bird was A blood-winged flying dragon's destructive beam.Karin followed the direction pointed by Sora, and the orange flames were scattered. After dragging a long trajectory like a meteor, it readjusted its flying posture. The flame jets then continued to attack the Dragon Air Force, almost every time. Once sprayed, a dragon spirit will burn and fall. If the trainer is carried on the dragon's back, it seems that he will not have any good results after all. After all, a large area of skin is burned, which requires a very painful treatment process. It is possible to lose your life as a result.
Indeed, the cost is considerable.When the Flame Bird finally fell to the ground exhausted, Carlin could no longer count how many dragon elves had been scorched by the fire, how many elite trainers the alliance had lost, and the result was only one Flame Bird falling. That's all, after all, I don't know where I'm going, and I don't even know if I will fall into the city.After the main force had no strength to fight, Charizard's army chose to retreat. Perhaps they had originally planned to retrieve the Flame Bird, but the blood-winged dragon army that was still being replenished left them with the only choice between immediate retreat or total annihilation. , and their commander chose the former.
So the flames in the sky slowly extinguished, and the fairy clan's lighting magic also dimmed.Not long after, the fortress city in the harsh winter returned to its usual coldness. The sky to the east of the fortress had already turned white, and the sun would rise soon.Carlin discovered that tonight's battle had lasted for at least 10 hours.Sora didn't know when he had fallen asleep leaning on the back of the sofa. He was the only one who was still looking out the window at the city that had turned into a battlefield.
It's time to clean up the battlefield again. Although the last time was not long ago, there are already a large number of battlefield cleaning tasks left in the city.Karin helped the sleeping Sora back to the room, put on a coat and walked out.Since it was a battlefield cleanup, she always had to go to the scene to take a look. She believed that the city after the war was very safe and did not need Sora to be with her all the time. As for Sora, her nerves had been tense these days. Carlin decided he needed a good rest.
The city is full of corpses of elves, smashed by the destruction light, burnt by the flames, mixed with minced meat, gloomy bones, and an unpleasant smell of blood mixed with the burnt smell permeates the air. around.On the muddy path, the melted water is slowly freezing.After a night of fierce battle, the few trainers called "soldiers" had to gather the remaining elves to clean up the city. Although the corpses decomposed not very fast in winter, they could not be ignored after all.
Both the elves and the trainers in the city were busy working silently, and the wounded who were still alive were sent to the hospital in the city.It seems that for this kind of work, there has been a tacit understanding between each other for a long time. There is no need for the trainer to assign special tasks to the elves. Everyone knows their respective division of labor.Only Karin was wandering around the city doing nothing, and these still had nothing to do with her.
After all, the wooden houses in the city were the reason for the existence of the Flame Bird. At the end of the day, no one was left. Even the cedar forest to the east of the city was scorched black.A smaller Charizard got stuck in a tree, bending its branches.Its wings and tail were badly shattered after being hit by countless destructive rays. Only a thin layer of skin was left connected to the body, and it was still breathing.A pair of desperate and plaintive eyes were looking at Karin. It wanted to use its last strength to attack the enemy trainer in front of it. After struggling for a while, the flames spurted from its mouth were small enough to be ignored. The hot wind hit Karin. Lin's face could only be slightly blown with hair.But the poor Charizard, because of its struggle, rolled down from the branch and fell heavily to the ground. It tried to struggle to stand up, only to find that it could no longer find its legs.
Karin couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he drew out his sword for the first time. Whether it was the rose emblem of the Elan family, the hollow pattern decoration on the hilt, or the various large and small items that he had never counted clearly. The colored gemstones all indicate that the purpose of this sword is mainly for decoration.Close your eyes, stab the tip of the sword downward into the fire-breathing dragon's heart, and the sharp sword body sinks into its body.Karin didn't open his eyes until he no longer felt any struggle.The dragon's blood dripped down the blade into the soil and was quickly frozen. Karin felt another strong vomiting** in his heart.
When the fishy smell hit her nose again, Karin finally couldn't help but hold on to the tree trunk next to her and vomit crazily. Although she didn't eat anything in the morning and there was only a little acidic water left in her stomach, she still wanted to eat nothing for the past few days. Spit out all the vomited portion.By the time he was about to vomit again, the sun had already risen from the east side of the fortress, and the golden sunlight shone on his face through the gaps between the needles. It was a little dazzling, but not warm at all.
damn it.I don’t know how many times this was, but Carlin cursed this battlefield sincerely.Although the winter fortress can see sunshine almost every day, the air here makes Carlin feel more depressed than Longdu. Even under this depression, Carlin lost his mind and asked to be here at the beginning. Leave it for a while.Every time he watched the work of cleaning up the battlefield, Karin would have the idea of going back, but because of this depressed mood, he stayed.
The woods are full of situations like this. Most of the elves are dead. Occasionally, the bodies of trainers can be seen. Those who fell from high in the air and survived the fall. The dying elves saw the appearance of Karin, the enemy trainer. , he actually planned to attack, but after falling from such a high place, his body had already lost its temper.Karin feels that they are very pitiful. Whether it is a fire-breathing dragon, a blood-winged flying dragon, or a fast dragon, the elves are not qualified to continue to live after the war. However, the reality is always cruel, and the high degree of disability makes them finally Most of their fates focus on the fate of humane destruction.
After killing the fire-breathing dragon, Karin did not attack other elves. There were too many elves that needed to die. Later, she thought that these things should be left to the trainers who cleaned the battlefield.She just wanted to take a walk in the city after another night of fighting for some unknown purpose.
The interior of the forest is the cemetery of elves and trainers. All lives lost in battle, whether they are elves or trainers, whether they are enemies or friends, will be arranged here. At first, they had a name, but later, because There were too many corpses to deal with, and it became a matter of simply piling them together and burying them. The big tombstones marked the lives of those who died in a certain battle on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, and two simple sentences.
Kalin would come here occasionally. The lives lost in battle no longer needed to fight, and this was the only place where Kalin could completely feel at ease on the battlefield.Passing through a muddy path between big trees, the only cemetery in the city is right in front of you.
What's strange is that someone has been here before, and he doesn't seem to have left yet.In front of the tombstone that was just erected yesterday afternoon, there were a few bunches of cedar branches and leaves that were broken off casually, replacing the flowers that could not be seen in winter. The man was standing behind the tombstone, facing another tombstone.
Perhaps because he heard someone coming from behind, he turned back.
He is a trainer of the fire elf tribe.Although he subconsciously prepared to summon his own elves, Carlin was really unwilling to destroy the only pure place in the city. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to have any intention of conflict.
It seems that he is not unaware of yesterday's battle, and he is able to come here to visit the fallen tribesmen when the situation between the two sides is so tense. Although they are enemies, the other party seems to be quite free and easy.The thin body unique to the fire elf clan stood alone in the snow. His flaming red wavy hair was scattered messily on his shoulders. His flaming red pupils were now as turbid as dead fish. He looked at Karin's eyes. At this time, he subconsciously smoothed the slightly messy hair on his shoulders.
That kind of lazy harmony only lasted for a moment, and then Carlin felt a very dangerous murderous aura. It was not that the guy didn't intend to have a conflict, maybe he was just a little distracted.
"You are not an army trainer? Why are you here?" he asked.Even so, he never intended to give Karin time to answer.

() The war has been going on for a long time in the northwest border fortress of the dragon country Stas. (Please remember our website address) After winter, the alliance had to dispatch a large number of ice elves to the front line to minimize the consumption of overall strength.Since ancient times, the fire elf country and the dragon tribe have always been at war. They don't know when it will start, and they don't know when it will end.But since it has lasted so long, no one can expect to live to see one country conquer another country.The world is always in such a delicate balance. After all, conflict only wastes a lot of resources to delay the other party's progress in writing a glorious history.
It has been nearly a week since I arrived at the northwest border fortress. Even if I have received war training before, after all, there is still a big difference between the real battlefield and the theoretical description.Kalin's mind went blank, and he watched expressionlessly as the soldiers of the Kingdom were cleaning the battlefield in the sunset. The winter dusk was extremely cold, and even if he wore a thick coat, the cold wind would still get through the gaps in his clothes, and Kalin Now I am not in the mood to take care of this.
Just a routine battle in the afternoon, with mechanical charges, body collisions, and energy blows, the lives of tens of thousands of elves disappeared like this.In the moat outside the fortress, the elf corpses piled up were sorted out, piled together, and then transported to a distant open space for cremation. Such a simple thing in itself was quite heavy in the eyes.On the far wall opposite, the fire elf priest was dancing a requiem, simply and quietly.
This is not the feeling of Tian. Over the past few days, Kalin has gradually become numb. It seems to be natural that elves are just consumables in the war between countries. The alliance can replenish as much as it consumes at any time, whether it is a trainer, Or elves, they all have the same fate.
I thought that being an elf trainer was a happy profession, where you could be carefree with your favorite elves, travel freely, encourage each other, make progress together, and achieve a respectable status in the alliance. Now it seems that all this is just It's just a bubble.No wonder Sola once said that he was not suitable to come to the border.
Karin turned back, and Sora was also standing on top of the hundred-high city wall, looking at everything with the same expressionless expression.He came here as a bodyguard of Carlin. After all, even the leader of the alliance is only an outsider in the war, but because of his identity, he must ensure her safety, not to mention that she is so willful that she wants to stand high on the fortress wall. .
"Thorin." She stepped forward and tried to put on a calm expression. "What's going on today?"
"Three thousand, 250 ice elves, 530 two flying dragon elves, and 32 elite trainers left this world during the battle. The enemy's data is not very accurate. About [-] ice elves were lost. Other attributes are not calculated. There are about fifty elf trainers." He replied calmly, "It's you, Olivia, I don't think you should stay here anymore. You have the task of sending the elf to the border fortress. It’s done, you need to get back to reporting as soon as possible.”
"Thorin, I have a lot to say." Karin had no idea about the numbers Sola reported. After several days of results like this, she no longer dared to have any ideas.When I excitedly brought tens of thousands of ice elves from the alliance to the border, I never thought it would be like this.
"Shall I accompany you for a walk? The temperature on the city wall is very low. If you keep standing like this, you will soon freeze." Sora took one last look at the battlefield outside the fortress, then turned back and said to Karin , "Although it seems cruel, after all, no country is willing to relax the border issue because of this..."
"Because the lives of soldiers are precious, why should we switch to the battlefield of elves?" Karin asked helplessly, "It looks like I feel extremely uncomfortable."
"Olivia." He pulled Karin over, not letting her look at the battlefield again.The two people walked along the stairs on the inner city wall to the ground. "If elves rule this world, will there be a title like human trainer? Will humans be the main force in the war between elven countries?"
It was just a simple rhetorical question from Sora, but Karin couldn't answer it.Indeed, it is a tacit understanding among all countries on the continent that nature sacrifices the lives of other species to obtain the interests of the human country. Although the consumption of soldiers is not considered, the attack power or destructive power of the elves alone, None of them are as strong as human soldiers can achieve.This is a very ironic reality. An alliance leader who likes elves very much actually personally brought tens of thousands of elves to such a place.It's not that Carlin can't forgive himself, he just needs a reason and a long period of reflection.
"Thorin," she said, "I have slowly accepted these realities. After all, elves are just tools for war. No matter what, going back 1000 years ago, the profession of elf trainers and the alliance emerged because of the needs of war. Organization, and positions similar to the King of Heaven. Sorry, I have never considered your feelings before. Until now, standing in this place, I finally understand that as the leader of the alliance, I am still too naive. After all, elves are just tools, not "?" She emphasized the fact that elves are just tools for the second time, hoping to vent her long-term repression.Sora's role may just be a punching bag. After all, in this situation, Sora is willing to share all the uneasiness.
"Olivia. My hands are already stained with the smell of elves' blood, and I have always been surrounded by the souls of elves that have not dispersed for a long time." Sola pretended to be very relaxed, "There are people in the world. If there is no way to escape some things, please try to accept it first, and then use your own power to change it. I once wanted to change the world, but I failed in the end and ended up like this."
"Well, Thorin, let's go back in a few days. After all, Christmas is coming. I think Christmas still has to be spent in Longdu. Although leaving here, I think it is an act of escaping, but I already understand , it is completely impossible for me to accept it now." Although Sora didn't say anything, Karin's mood calmed down a lot, "The so-called sense of security, when I am with you, even though I am weak and have nothing to do, Yes, but I feel reassured."
Kalin finally understood why Sora insisted on coming with him when he asked to come to the border a week ago. It seemed that he was a little too pushy, but Sora, who seemed to be indifferent to the current world, didn't care about Kalin. Lin's understanding is even deeper than his own.
Although they had only been dating for less than two weeks, Carlin could clearly feel that this historical demon king was indeed not as cold-blooded as recorded in the records. At least Sora had no regard for Carlin and all the members in the temple. , never had a cold-blooded expression.It wasn't until dusk when he entered the fortress, and Sora stood on the top of the fortress and watched indifferently the closing work of the battlefield, that Kalin realized that this face as simple as his own had gone through many unbearable dark experiences before he could stand in that place. He was so calm at that time, at least he had fainted in the corner of the city wall.When he woke up, Sora smiled and reported to himself the number of elves lost that day. That expression seemed to indicate that the number he quoted was just a number after all.
As Sora said, when this world is ruled by another more powerful species, perhaps humans will be just tools of war, the same status as elves today.As peaceful as ever within the country, when the aura of peace affects the carefree city, the elf trainer is just an entertainment profession.
"Olivia." Sola added, "Certain things are only suitable for those who are truly suitable to do such things."
Due to the falling fine snow, the visibility in the city was very low. The cold wind blew into the city around the top of the city wall, and the smell of blood it brought gave Karin the urge to vomit.Perhaps as Sora said, it is only suitable for specific people to participate. People who have nothing to do with it should be more honest, pretend not to know anything, enjoy their lives with peace of mind, and enjoy the profession of trainer with the aura of happiness and hard work.
Sola smiled slightly, "I didn't mean to laugh at you." In fact, it was not suitable to discuss this issue in such a mood, but Sola said it.Burying her head in his arms, Karin felt that Sola's heartbeat was terrifyingly calm, but she felt that she had no reason to accuse Sola of being indifferent.
"I used to think that you could accept everything you know, but it still seemed too naive. I have always been a very naive, but quite self-righteous guy."
"Taking all the responsibilities on oneself belongs to the dragon family, no, the stubbornness of the Yilan family. Maybe their power can really save the world. I think that occasionally letting companions share a little bit of responsibility will make both parties relaxed. a lot of."
kindness.Sora has said the same thing more than once. Just like what he said, Kalin is just quite stubborn.Stubbornly made a request to come to the border with the ice elves in Raglan's place, stubbornly stood at the highest point of the fortress and watched the killings on the battlefield under circumstances that he could not bear, and then stubbornly sympathized with everything. .If a person has too many emotions, life will eventually become tiring for them.
I don’t know when or which wise man of the Dragon Clan left such a controversial statement. Now, Carlin’s attitude towards this statement has changed from nonsense to one that needs to be understood from a specific perspective. Karin understood it completely this time, as long as he could let go of other baggage in his heart.But it's not that simple at all.
Although the command of the war is not Carlin's job, as the leader of the alliance, it is necessary to participate in the summary and report every day. The trainer's cold and numb expression has appeared for many days, and his completely lifeless, death-like eyes have gradually faded away. Carlin accepted that they should have stayed in the interior of the country like most people and enjoyed a carefree, romantic life as trainers.At this point, Carlin's understanding of trainers has changed again.At this moment, they are soldiers. Whether they have wrinkles on their faces or are still childish, they command a large team of elves on the battlefield and perform different combat missions.This is not the day, I just hope it is the last day.
She had no intention of paying attention to the content of her words. Strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with her.Even though protecting the border is the responsibility of every citizen, Carlin also believed that it would not be of any practical significance for an outsider to get involved, so she just listened on the side, or even just pretended to listen.The figures of losses on both sides once again jumped into Karin's eyes, feeling heart-wrenchingly uncomfortable.After all, Carlin was still a bit small for those present.
After the meeting, Carlin did not stay any longer and went directly back to the villa arranged for him. Maybe he would feel a little warm here in the cold fortress.
"We have news from the Alliance. Maybe it would be better to go back earlier." Sora greeted him as soon as he entered the door.
"Yeah." Carlin patted the thin snow on his shoulders, "I'm sorry, I keep showing such an expression in front of you these days." Every time he came back from the military camp, Carlin would feel quite uncomfortable, even if the feeling was uncomfortable. Will last a long time.It only takes a little time for Sola to melt away the depression in her heart.
"The day after tomorrow there will be a train that will take the injured back to the mainland. Let's go back the day after tomorrow morning. We only have one day tomorrow. I think if you still can't accept it, just stay at home and calm down and read a book. , anything is possible, you don’t have to go out.”
unacceptable?Karin bit his lip. He once said that as the leader of the alliance, he needed to work hard to accept all these things. After all, is the leader just a position that is favored by the elders of the alliance?Perhaps if you can't even accept this, it's no wonder that after being the leader of the alliance for so long, there is no way to correct the corruption situation of the alliance from within.
"Olivia, that's not your fault." Sola knew what Karin was thinking. She had mentioned to Sola many times before about her plans after the next league competition.Sora always said the same words to comfort Karin, just like Karin was always troubled by the same thing.This world is amazing, no matter where it is.
"You'd better go take a shower and let me take care of dinner." Sora continued.
"Well, see you later. I'll get better in a little while." Carlin smiled awkwardly. The reason for the embarrassment was Carlin's cooking skills. When he came to this place, except for one night when Carlin cooked, everyone else Time has been replaced by Sola, because Carlin's craftsmanship is really unflattering. Maybe a person is too perfect, and always has to squeeze out some shortcomings in other places, and so-called balance, and Sola's The craftsmanship is quite beautiful, and Karin even feels that Elsa the witch is not in that level.
"Is that an expression of love?" This thought just passed through his mind. Carlin was about to shake his head. This was not the first time he thought this, but a person's level of cooking has little to do with whether he has love or not. Carlin himself ’s cooking skills are a good example.Looking back at Sola who was busy in the kitchen, Karin once again felt that the gift Zero Moon had given her was indeed too expensive.
Just after dinner time, the air raid sirens in the city were sounded.As expected, the fire-breathing dragons of the fire elves took advantage of the night to cause trouble again.Every morning, many corpses of fire-breathing dragons can be found during the cleaning inside the fortress. In fact, in terms of aerial power, the dragon army will be stronger, whether it is a fast dragon or a blood-winged flying dragon, the fire attribute resistance They are all quite high, and the opponent's actions will undoubtedly waste a large number of troops on this meaningless harassment.
The goblin magic lit up the sky above the fortress like day. The elves flying in the sky collided with each other. Flame jets could be seen everywhere, energy clusters that destroyed the light. The residual heat of the flames in the air brought a touch of warmth to the cold city, even if the warmth was created. from the enemy's army.Gradually, exhausted elves began to fall to the ground in the sky, including fire-breathing dragons, fast dragons, blood-winged flying dragons...
Sora accompanied Karin to the balcony on the roof. This scene may not be a battle anymore, but just the fireworks caused by the death of life. The hot air does not seem to have the intention of scalding people, it is just As usual, it drove away the cold in the city.
"Olivia, it's very dangerous outside. It's better to go back." Sola advised.Only little girls would still be dazzled by romance at such a dangerous time. Karin had already forgotten the bloody war. Whenever this happened, Sora was always helpless.Even so, Sora still stayed with Karin, because Karin wanted to stay outside just because Sora was with him.
"Thorin, it would be great if this wasn't a war. The fire elves flying all over the sky drove away the cold. In the Dragon City..."
Before Karin finished speaking, his head was held in Sola's arms and he fell to the ground. The sudden wind of flames made his ears feel hot. "Danger, Olivia."
The sparks brought by the hot wind just now had not been completely extinguished. When Karin opened her eyes, Sora was gently patting out the flames on her clothes.She looked up with an expression of surprise.If I read it correctly, the elf that caused the accident just now was not an air force unit of the fire elf clan, but another type of flying fire elf besides the fire-breathing dragon.
"Flame Bird?" Carlin was definitely surprised to see the mythical beast on the battlefield.Regardless of whether it is legend or reality, the mythical beast has never participated in the war between countries. The current situation is obviously beyond accident. If the flame bird is involved, the balance between the two sides will naturally be destroyed again, even though it is just an ordinary flame bird. Not a Vulcan, even if there is only one, it is already quite powerful.No wonder the fire-breathing dragon of the fire elf army will appear here today. Is there support after all?
"Well, Flame Bird, that's why I said it's very dangerous." Sora looked quite uncomfortable. He just hugged himself to block the flames. Most of his hair was burned by the flames, and a smell of burnt protein rushed towards him. , maybe Carlin should trim his hair later. In such danger, Carlin still did not forget to think about these irrelevant things. "I never thought that a mythical beast would appear on the battlefield. Maybe the war between us will escalate again, if the flame bird is not handled well."
Beautiful flames were flying above his head, and Karin kept raising his head to watch the movement of the flame bird.Karin travels frequently, and it's not like he has never seen mythical beasts before. It's just that this is the first time he's seen a big guy like the Flame Bird at such a close distance.If Sora hadn't been dragging him, Kalin would have almost revealed his blood-winged dragon and followed the flame bird to get a closer look. To a certain extent, Kalin was so crazy, even if it happened next time. In a war where he could lose his life in seconds, fortunately, Sora did not lose his mind like Karin.
"Go back to the house, Olivia. It's too dangerous here. I don't want to see you end up like me, having to cut off your hair. I still think Olivia with long hair will be more troublesome. People like it more." Sora pulled off a few curled hair, "This is not a good thing, but even if the flame bird suddenly appears, I believe that the commander of the dragon tribe will find a way to deal with it, even if it is a mythical beast , after all, we also have to face the tyrannical Dragon Flying Legion."
"Ground troops prepare! Water cannons are launched! Destruction beams are launched! The second flying squadron is on standby at any time!" Sure enough, it didn't take long for the response order to spread in the fortress.As Sora said, there is no way to deal with the Flame Bird, it just requires paying a corresponding price.In comparison, the elves' wails seemed to reach their ears more frequently.
Looking out of the window, many parts of the fortress were finally ignited due to the high temperature of the flames. Although it was only a matter of time before it was extinguished, human resources would eventually be needed to repair it. What reassured Carlin was that in order to reduce fire losses a long time ago, the fortress Houses have gradually been replaced by stone materials, and wooden houses will eventually be slowly consumed and replaced during the war.
Kalin turned back and said, "I'm bored in the room anyway, let me help you fix your hair." Looking at Sora's messy look, Kalin felt quite sorry. After all, he was the one who caused this. of.
Looking at it like this, all the long hair that reaches past the shoulders will be cut off and become the short hair that is popular among the male elite trainers in the league headquarters.Although it's not actually short, it's based on Sora's original hair length.After all the pretentious deletions and cuts, Sora finally had a non-awkward image. Compared to the usual Sora who didn't care much about his hairstyle, the short-haired Sora naturally looked more energetic. To be honest, After all, this is the only thing that Carlin is satisfied with recently. Even though he feels a little sorry for Sora in appearance, Carlin has indeed trimmed it according to the perfect image in his imagination.
"My last haircut was done by my sister." Sola hadn't opened her eyes yet, because Karin's scissors were still moving. "Since then, I haven't had any more haircuts. In fact, I haven't had any haircuts since. It’s just that after a year or two, maybe I grew my hair long and looked more decadent. I originally planned to cut it off, but there was no chance.”
"You may not be used to this look at first, and you may need to trim it again after returning to Longdu." Carlin looked at his results again, and seemed still not satisfied. "Sorry, this is my first time doing this to someone..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you like it." Sora replied.Although Carlin was unlikely to like the results of giving someone a haircut for the first time, it seemed like they were just words of comfort after all.
"What do you think about the Flame Bird thing?" After thinking about it, Carlin still felt quite uneasy.Now that the other party has used divine beasts, this dispute may not be that simple.When I calmed down, I realized that enjoying the so-called romance on the roof just now was a pretty crazy move. Of course, the consequences were also pretty crazy. Sora lost his "beautiful" long hair. At the same time, that A beautiful sacrificial robe was also burned into disarray by the flames.
Opening his eyes, Soraci saw his new image, but was slightly stunned for a moment, but did not make any comments after all.Even though it was only for a moment, Carlin still saw Sola's expression. It was obvious that Carlin had done something quite a failure, another one besides cooking a few days ago.Karin found it very strange. When it came to dressing up, he had always done it himself. It seemed that the effect of dressing himself up was quite different from that of dressing up Sora. It was already quite good for Sola to remain silent about this. reacted.Karin stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
"Well... in short, the intensity of the war will increase. Maybe I will take you back tomorrow, no matter what method, or even fly back. It is too dangerous here, now that the Fire Elf army has joined the Flame Birds With such combat power, not to mention where it comes from, in short, this is definitely not a suitable place for you to stay. As for the battle situation here, I think that although the Flame Bird's attack power is very powerful, But as far as the strength of the dragon army is concerned, defense is not always a problem. After all, the ground troops can't get here, and the fire elves' air force is only a small part of their army."
Sora tried to speak as simply as possible so that Kalin could understand.It seems that a lot of effort has been put into it, but Carlin still has only a little understanding. He only knows that Sora means to get him out of this dangerous place, and the other thing he wants to express is that there will not be anyone in this fortress in a short time. The problem of resource shortage will not be solved due to this.
"I'm always worried..."
"Olivia, that's not something you should worry about." Sola said the same thing again.He doesn't expect to be able to correct Carlin's stubborn idea in a short time, but he will just remind him whenever he has such a tendency. "If you are worried that the Congress also intends to use the power of some mythical beasts in the army, don't worry, I don't think Elsa will agree to this. After all, whether it is the Alliance or the Congress, the power of the mythical beasts must be used , you must communicate with God through the temple, right?”
"That's true..." Karin tilted his head toward the window again, and there were still burning elven bodies in the sky that continued to fall to the ground.The figure of the flame bird flashed occasionally, although there was only one, it lasted for such a long time, and it was still venting its inexhaustible power. Tonight's battle lasted a little too long. Under normal circumstances, the battlefield would have been tidied up. , and it’s time to remove the lighting magic from the entire sky.
"What if...I mean what if, that flame bird is defeated, or in other words, as long as it is knocked down and, if possible, captured, what will happen?" After thinking for a while, Kalin asked. "Should the fighting end, or will it continue?"
"No matter what the circumstances, please don't consider such a thing." Sola's answer was very direct, "If you are willing to sacrifice the lives of a large number of elves, well, a large number of fast dragons and blood-winged dragons, I mean risking your lives , maybe..." Sola did not continue, "If the anger is ignited, the destructive power will be quite huge. That is only the last choice. Do you think... In this world, there are countless elves who have lived for hundreds of years, and you If you work hard..." Sola said with a bitter smile. Looking at this expression, the result that will be revealed later will definitely not be easy.
"But... I guess the commander has already issued such an order. This is a battlefield after all..." Karin looked at the increasingly dense dragon elves in the sky. He estimated that tonight's battle would not end so early. Tomorrow Get up early, in addition to closing down the battlefield, you also have to resettle the citizens who have lost their homes because of this.
Although it is a border fortress, it is still a city. Although there are not many residents, they have lived in this cold and desolate northwest town for generations.It seems that there has never been any intention to move, and it seems that I just don't know where to drift.
"Well..." Sora said noncommittally, "I don't know if the fortress can bear this loss. However, no matter what, I will be by your side. However, occasionally you have to consider the situation around you. I can't foresee where the danger will come from. If something happens somewhere, it may not be as simple as today next time.”
"Okay." Kalin tried his best to stop those unrealistic thoughts. Sora accompanied him here, after all, he appeared as a bodyguard. Because of this, Kalin often made those dangerous actions, and In the end, no real danger was encountered.If Sora hadn't stopped him, perhaps Karin would have insisted on going to the temporary hospital to take care of the injured captives. That was no longer crazy and could be explained clearly.
Karin did not run outside the house anymore, but moved the sofa to the window and looked at the scene above the city.The elves of both armies are constantly being replenished, and it still seems that "the elves are just a number." For the commanders of both sides, these small losses can be completely ignored. After a while, , each will replenish a large amount of new combat power, and now they are just consuming the part that may have become saturated due to the replenishment.The truth is so cruel.
Until the last bit of cold air in the city was driven away by the endless flames in the sky, Karin opened the window, and the slightly warm wind blew into the room, which finally made it much warmer.There was a fierce battle outside the villa, but the residents in the city used it to keep warm. It seemed that everyone was used to this kind of life and slowly became numb. Even Karin could accept it within a few days. She occasionally had Some feelings are just occasional.
Just as Sora said, as the aerial power of the dragon elves was slowly consumed, the energy of the Flame Bird was also slowly consumed. After an unknown period of absence, Sora told Carlin that the Flame Bird was A blood-winged flying dragon's destructive beam.Karin followed the direction pointed by Sora, and the orange flames were scattered. After dragging a long trajectory like a meteor, it readjusted its flying posture. The flame jets then continued to attack the Dragon Air Force, almost every time. Once sprayed, a dragon spirit will burn and fall. If the trainer is carried on the dragon's back, it seems that he will not have any good results after all. After all, a large area of skin is burned, which requires a very painful treatment process. It is possible to lose your life as a result.
Indeed, the cost is considerable.When the Flame Bird finally fell to the ground exhausted, Carlin could no longer count how many dragon elves had been scorched by the fire, how many elite trainers the alliance had lost, and the result was only one Flame Bird falling. That's all, after all, I don't know where I'm going, and I don't even know if I will fall into the city.After the main force had no strength to fight, Charizard's army chose to retreat. Perhaps they had originally planned to retrieve the Flame Bird, but the blood-winged dragon army that was still being replenished left them with the only choice between immediate retreat or total annihilation. , and their commander chose the former.
So the flames in the sky slowly extinguished, and the fairy clan's lighting magic also dimmed.Not long after, the fortress city in the harsh winter returned to its usual coldness. The sky to the east of the fortress had already turned white, and the sun would rise soon.Carlin discovered that tonight's battle had lasted for at least 10 hours.Sora didn't know when he had fallen asleep leaning on the back of the sofa. He was the only one who was still looking out the window at the city that had turned into a battlefield.
It's time to clean up the battlefield again. Although the last time was not long ago, there are already a large number of battlefield cleaning tasks left in the city.Karin helped the sleeping Sora back to the room, put on a coat and walked out.Since it was a battlefield cleanup, she always had to go to the scene to take a look. She believed that the city after the war was very safe and did not need Sora to be with her all the time. As for Sora, her nerves had been tense these days. Carlin decided he needed a good rest.
The city is full of corpses of elves, smashed by the destruction light, burnt by the flames, mixed with minced meat, gloomy bones, and an unpleasant smell of blood mixed with the burnt smell permeates the air. around.On the muddy path, the melted water is slowly freezing.After a night of fierce battle, the few trainers called "soldiers" had to gather the remaining elves to clean up the city. Although the corpses decomposed not very fast in winter, they could not be ignored after all.
Both the elves and the trainers in the city were busy working silently, and the wounded who were still alive were sent to the hospital in the city.It seems that for this kind of work, there has been a tacit understanding between each other for a long time. There is no need for the trainer to assign special tasks to the elves. Everyone knows their respective division of labor.Only Karin was wandering around the city doing nothing, and these still had nothing to do with her.
After all, the wooden houses in the city were the reason for the existence of the Flame Bird. At the end of the day, no one was left. Even the cedar forest to the east of the city was scorched black.A smaller Charizard got stuck in a tree, bending its branches.Its wings and tail were badly shattered after being hit by countless destructive rays. Only a thin layer of skin was left connected to the body, and it was still breathing.A pair of desperate and plaintive eyes were looking at Karin. It wanted to use its last strength to attack the enemy trainer in front of it. After struggling for a while, the flames spurted from its mouth were small enough to be ignored. The hot wind hit Karin. Lin's face could only be slightly blown with hair.But the poor Charizard, because of its struggle, rolled down from the branch and fell heavily to the ground. It tried to struggle to stand up, only to find that it could no longer find its legs.
Karin couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he drew out his sword for the first time. Whether it was the rose emblem of the Elan family, the hollow pattern decoration on the hilt, or the various large and small items that he had never counted clearly. The colored gemstones all indicate that the purpose of this sword is mainly for decoration.Close your eyes, stab the tip of the sword downward into the fire-breathing dragon's heart, and the sharp sword body sinks into its body.Karin didn't open his eyes until he no longer felt any struggle.The dragon's blood dripped down the blade into the soil and was quickly frozen. Karin felt another strong vomiting** in his heart.
When the fishy smell hit her nose again, Karin finally couldn't help but hold on to the tree trunk next to her and vomit crazily. Although she didn't eat anything in the morning and there was only a little acidic water left in her stomach, she still wanted to eat nothing for the past few days. Spit out all the vomited portion.By the time he was about to vomit again, the sun had already risen from the east side of the fortress, and the golden sunlight shone on his face through the gaps between the needles. It was a little dazzling, but not warm at all.
damn it.I don’t know how many times this was, but Carlin cursed this battlefield sincerely.Although the winter fortress can see sunshine almost every day, the air here makes Carlin feel more depressed than Longdu. Even under this depression, Carlin lost his mind and asked to be here at the beginning. Leave it for a while.Every time he watched the work of cleaning up the battlefield, Karin would have the idea of going back, but because of this depressed mood, he stayed.
The woods are full of situations like this. Most of the elves are dead. Occasionally, the bodies of trainers can be seen. Those who fell from high in the air and survived the fall. The dying elves saw the appearance of Karin, the enemy trainer. , he actually planned to attack, but after falling from such a high place, his body had already lost its temper.Karin feels that they are very pitiful. Whether it is a fire-breathing dragon, a blood-winged flying dragon, or a fast dragon, the elves are not qualified to continue to live after the war. However, the reality is always cruel, and the high degree of disability makes them finally Most of their fates focus on the fate of humane destruction.
After killing the fire-breathing dragon, Karin did not attack other elves. There were too many elves that needed to die. Later, she thought that these things should be left to the trainers who cleaned the battlefield.She just wanted to take a walk in the city after another night of fighting for some unknown purpose.
The interior of the forest is the cemetery of elves and trainers. All lives lost in battle, whether they are elves or trainers, whether they are enemies or friends, will be arranged here. At first, they had a name, but later, because There were too many corpses to deal with, and it became a matter of simply piling them together and burying them. The big tombstones marked the lives of those who died in a certain battle on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, and two simple sentences.
Kalin would come here occasionally. The lives lost in battle no longer needed to fight, and this was the only place where Kalin could completely feel at ease on the battlefield.Passing through a muddy path between big trees, the only cemetery in the city is right in front of you.
What's strange is that someone has been here before, and he doesn't seem to have left yet.In front of the tombstone that was just erected yesterday afternoon, there were a few bunches of cedar branches and leaves that were broken off casually, replacing the flowers that could not be seen in winter. The man was standing behind the tombstone, facing another tombstone.
Perhaps because he heard someone coming from behind, he turned back.
He is a trainer of the fire elf tribe.Although he subconsciously prepared to summon his own elves, Carlin was really unwilling to destroy the only pure place in the city. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to have any intention of conflict.
It seems that he is not unaware of yesterday's battle, and he is able to come here to visit the fallen tribesmen when the situation between the two sides is so tense. Although they are enemies, the other party seems to be quite free and easy.The thin body unique to the fire elf clan stood alone in the snow. His flaming red wavy hair was scattered messily on his shoulders. His flaming red pupils were now as turbid as dead fish. He looked at Karin's eyes. At this time, he subconsciously smoothed the slightly messy hair on his shoulders.
That kind of lazy harmony only lasted for a moment, and then Carlin felt a very dangerous murderous aura. It was not that the guy didn't intend to have a conflict, maybe he was just a little distracted.
"You are not an army trainer? Why are you here?" he asked.Even so, he never intended to give Karin time to answer.
