Twilight War

07

On the steam mine cart across Huayin, Xiwen carefully wiped the flintlock in his hand.In the far distance, there is a steam furnace that swallows gold and sells iron. It looks like an enraged giant beast in the vast wilderness, puffing out white storms and air currents.An ascetic monk kowtowed on the road, and his monk's clothes were stained layer by layer with mud and Kuafu's blood.

The yellow-faced woman held the hand of the dead child in her arms, looked up at the sky, her eyes were dull and gray.

Minecart through the yellow paper money flying in the air.

"This place reminds me of the former northern border." Xiwen said, looking at the pile of soil on the barren mound. The old man knelt in front of the pile of soil and gathered the soil together.

"I found this from them." Delko handed the light red injection to Xi Wen, "It's the same thing used by those bone eaters in the black market Ninth Street."

"It will allow ordinary people to break through their physical limits, and bring the dying back to life." Xiwen glanced at the thing, "It's better to keep it well."

"This thing is everywhere in Huayin now. Hull has turned into a holy lady in their mouth and spread this kind of thing everywhere, but she only gives this thing to young people. Old people and children can only die. Some people would rather die Nor will it be used."

"People in Westland call this rose water, and the color is very similar." Delco fiddled with the injection in his hand, "But if you use this, you will turn into a monster."

Delko picked up the crystal binoculars and looked into the distance, "We have been patrolling here for several days, and the wolves have seen it, but it is of no help to find Fenrir."

"His Highness's order is for us to patrol the fields here. Since it is His Highness's order, we can only obey it." Xiwen reassembled the wiped gun. It is full of black ash and oil, "here, remember to clean the gun yourself next time, otherwise the aim will be bad."

"Understood, Secretary." Delko impatiently took the gun in Xi Wen's hand, "Isn't it because you are here?"

"I won't be by your side all the time, after two years you will have to leave the Knights Templar, right?" Sivan took the crystal binoculars from Delko's hand, "Master Brutus told you to do whatever you want After so long, I should urge you to go back."

"Of course, he scolded me from the first day I joined the Templars. He felt that I had deviated from the life direction he had planned for me. According to his plan, I should now sit in the silver velvet of the Senate On the chair, it represents the will of the Brutus family and His Royal Highness Vichypel."

"Instead of being here, what kind of Templars are bloody at dusk." Siwen said with a sarcasm, "You know, in fact, many of those nobles don't believe in Ragnarok. Everything is a conspiracy of His Royal Highness Wisper to play power. They don't like His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness has come up with a twilight of the gods, making everyone believe that only he can save this country , so they had to hand over the seat of consul to a man with no surname."

"But they have no way to deny the twilight of the gods. It is the prophecy recorded in the oracle, which is the end of the fate of the gods. For thousands of years, they have relied on this last twilight to consolidate their regime and come Recruit soldiers and buy horses to make the masses kneel down. Let the masses regard them as saviors. But now it has come to the time when the prophecy is about to come true, and they have no way to deny it. Once they deny it, it is like a son denying his father’s property legitimacy. So they have to do something to convince the masses that they are not broken, not apathetic."

"My father said that His Royal Highness Wisipel appeared in front of the Senate under that circumstance. At that time, he was already one of the ten generals in the military department, but the people in the political department did not put this unsurnamed person in front of the Senate. In the eyes. He made a deal with everyone in the Senate, except for the two parties of the deal, no one knew the content of the deal, but after the deal ended, this country had the first consul without a surname."

"After the second twilight battle, the blue-blooded nobles of the Senate didn't trust His Highness even more. They gave His Highness the power of dictator and an army of 40 people. But what His Highness brought back was the tragic destruction of the northern border. The cruel towns and the wreckage of countless ancient beasts, even Jormungandr and Loki have never appeared on the frontal battlefield." Delko put his hand on the matching sword at his waist, and pointed the finger on the sword with his fingertips. World tree coat of arms.

"One day, you will also become a blue-blood nobleman." Xiwen looked at Delco.

"Yes, what about you, will you continue to serve His Highness?" Delco asked.

"As long as Your Highness is alive, I will be a Templar." Xiwen lowered his head and meditated silently, the battle continued.

"You are loyal to His Royal Highness, thinking that this is allegiance to the Arthur Empire, but His Royal Highness is not loyal to this country..." Delco said with a chuckle: "He is not even greedy for the position of consul, what he wants is the consul That’s all the job has to offer him.”

The iron-black mine cart whizzed past the wilderness of silver soil, and the opened door bumped against the body of the car in the rapid progress.

"Then why have you followed His Highness for so long?" Xi Wen looked at the young man beside him.

"I didn't follow him, I just hope that one day when I sit on the silver velvet chair in Wood Spring Hall, I can still find a trace in the smoke and dust of the past, and tell myself that I have truly lived."

He counted the bullets in his hand that were branded with the God's Blessed Flower, and then fed them into the magazine one by one.

"I have shed blood, and I have fought on the farthest northern border of this empire... I have also loved people, and I have loved a man who looks like a horse on an ice field."

Xiwen looked at him, and then withdrew his gaze.

"You're different." Delco leaned on the car, looked at Xi Wen, with the open car door and the wasteland of silver soil overflowing outside the car beside him, "You will live, always alive."

He smiled, and there was a kind of inexplicable satisfaction and longing on that feminine and feminine face.

"Wait." Xiwen suddenly pressed his shoulder.

Delco looked out of the car.

"Listen, listen carefully." Xiwen closed his eyes and said.

The ground was vibrating faintly, but because the soil in the Huayin mining area was soft, the vibration was like sand on a sieve plate. In addition to the sound of the mine cart hitting the track, there were some more disturbing sounds.

"It's a pack of wolves. It's different from the ones we've seen before. This time... there are many, hundreds of them." Xi Wen closed his eyes, and he seemed to be able to see the gray wolves rushing towards the end of the wasteland. There was a tremor in the soil.

He opened his eyes and suddenly pulled down the alarm bell beside him.

In an instant, hundreds of iron bells strung together on the entire rail car vibrated!

It was as if the prayer wheels in the monastery suddenly started to spin together, and it was also as if someone on the street had turned on all the lights in an instant.

In the dozens of carriages, the sound of the knights opening the insurance was like a whip falling between the bells.

The bell stopped, and the sound of the wild wolves' running stopped. They leaned behind the carriage and watched as the wolves in the field all stopped within range.

"Bronze ghost, let me ask you if someone has been here before." Huang Xuanjin turned his head and asked the silent and frustrated bronze ghost beside him.

The bronze ghost stopped suddenly, and Huang Xuanjin also stopped in front of him.

He looked at the godswood with a million bells hanging in front of him.

"Someone has set up an array here, and that is definitely not the array of the Huangxuan family. The emperor is a man, a god, and a beast. Although the pain is intense, the Huangxuan family will never want to give up this bloodline. But this array is meant to be destroyed. All the blood of humans and beasts, but only the blood of the gods, this is definitely not the formation that the Wuxian master of the Huangxuan family would cast."

He closed his eyes, feeling the flow of blood in the entire Ming Tang Xuan, he didn't even need to see the entire Ming Tang Xuan, everything here was already connected with his blood.

The spirit of the soul passes over the reed without moving.

The energy of the blood is tied to the cobweb and stretches continuously.

He opened his eyes again, and in an instant, countless bloody charms appeared on the mountain wall made of copper poured from the first mountain, but it didn't make people feel bloody, but sacred and solemn.

400 years ago, Yuyi's Wuxian masters knelt in the mountains. They entered the battle with blood and guarded millions of monsters.

They bound the blood of humans, gods and beasts into the blood of the dead of the Huangxuan family, and since then the Huangxuan has never been exhausted, and the monsters and beasts cannot afford it.

He raised his hand, and the spell on the mountain wall instantly emerged from the mountain wall, hanging in the air.

He walked across the pontoon bridge, counting those spells, like a star inspector marking the stars in the sky.

Someone has changed the formation here, and it was recently.

The bronze ghost raised his hand as if he didn't dare to speak, he looked at Huangxuan Jin, then lowered his head again.

"If there is anyone in this world who can protect everything here, it is me." Huangxuan Jinyi pointed to the spell in the air.

"It's a man, he...he brought a knife and a light hat, he used his own blood to rewrite the beast formation, and then he went in the direction of the Soul Lantern Festival, he said he could make the young master Chishou The soul no longer floats above the soul lamp." The bronze ghost said with a sigh.

"So you didn't stop him, did you?"

"I tried to stop him, but he is too powerful. I don't know what kind of formation it is. The sky is full of characters that I can't understand. Those characters seem to form a domain that suppresses everything. In his domain , I can’t even summon the bronze terracotta warriors.”

"The formation of the Huangxuan family binds the three bloods of humans, gods and beasts to live in my body. If I destroy the blood of humans and beasts, I am afraid that I will become a god." Huangxuanjin sneered, "But the remaining blood of the gods may not even support me. It’s not enough to live alone.”

"He's not human." The bronze ghost said suddenly.

Huang Xuanjin looked at him.

"I mean, he is really not human. I can feel that the aura of the human race is different from that of beasts and things. He has a lot of human aura on him. I even thought he was human at first, but not , When he walked in, I smelled his breath. It's too cold, it's definitely not what a human race can have."

"He is an ancient beast." Huang Xuanjin said.

The bronze ghost shook his head, "It's not like, I have been with those monsters for 400 years. Although he has the breath of a beast, he is too indifferent and blunt."

"He should have covered up his aura, because when he came, the aura on his body was very chaotic." Bronze Ghost said again.

Huayin, Kuafu Mountain.

"I'd rather, I've never been to see that team." General Tianquan stroked the Mo Dao on his knee with his hand.

"What?" Sun Shengnian asked.

"Originally we had to deal with monsters, but now we have to deal with some people's sons, some people's lovers..."

"General Tianquan, do you still have this kind of compassion?" Sun Shengnian asked.

"What? Do you think Donghuang's generals should be cold-blooded?"

"But when the founding father slaughtered all the people in the north and south, the people he killed were real people, and there were even some of his former close friends. But he said that he slept well every night and even ate a lot of elbows." Sun Shengnian said.

"There are a few people in the world who are frank and open-minded and can become the founder of the country. Most of them are people like me who toss and turn every night and can't sleep." General Tianquan looked at the sand table in front of him, "I always think sometimes, some people Can I not kill, whenever I think about this, I feel that I owe others something."

"Now those monsters who have come back from the dead may no longer be counted as their old friends, but they just have the same face as their dead old friends." Sun Shengnian said.

"I have ordered the army to set up a fish-scale formation to move forward. That team is huge, and I think it will not be easy to change the formation for a while. The fish-scale formation is assembled in the center, and can go straight to the rear of Xingtian. It is the best way to restrain the crane wing formation. Formation." General Tianquan pushed forward the paint flag in his hand.

"General Tianquan said that he couldn't bear it, but he thought of countermeasures quickly enough." Sun Shengnian looked at the lacquer flag on the soldier's plate, "But if the other party joins together and surrounds us, wouldn't we be in deep trouble."

"Be merciful, sympathetic to the dead, and even more merciful to the living. I have sent troops to lay ground eggs on both sides of the route we have set up. If those Xingtian soldiers walk through it, there will be no dead bodies."
