Wilster

Syracuse is the northernmost city on this continent, next to the northern mountains that have been snowing year after year.Although not a single snowflake can be seen in the real northern land, Syracuse is a truly perpetually frozen world.

It can be said that there are thousands of mountains and rivers to travel from the breast shield to Xuecheng, plus the surviving civilians who still wear the breast shield, so the progress of Long Xing and his party is not fast.The farther north one goes, the worse the climate becomes. To this day, no one can figure out why there is no ice and snow in the extreme north, but at least for now, people in Wilster are not in the mood to think about this issue.

It has only advanced more than [-] miles from daytime to now, and many civilians are exhausted, so Long Xing had to order to rest again.

The only good news is that the breast shield itself has a wealth of survival supplies, so it is enough for so many people to camp in place. The only worry for Long Xing is whether Atria will suddenly launch a night attack.

After all, with so many people on the road together, the goal is too big.

Maybe it was because he hadn't rested for a long time, Long Xing felt a little headache, but he still insisted on patrolling the periphery of the large army.Originally, it was not his turn to be a leader in this kind of matter, but if he didn't do something, Long Xing would not be able to rest peacefully.

The snow here was heavier than that of the Imperial City. Long Xing returned to the camp after a week of futile inspection in the wind and snow, and then saw North who was obviously waiting for him.

Long Xing patted the snow on his body, and said with a low expression: "Cousin."

He has a lot of things he wants to ask North, but after experiencing a series of unexpected situations, Long Xing is too lazy to say it. Anyway, North can be regarded as helping the family in an emergency. Whether to hide his strength is his own preference. .It's just that Long Xing is still a little bit unwilling. It turns out that he can't protect everyone, and it seems that others don't need his help.

North smiled lightly: "I don't know what to say? Are you blaming me for hiding my strength from you?"

"No," Long Xing said immediately, "How could I blame you, I just...felt like a failure."

North's smile remained unchanged: "You have only been a leader for a few days, so you can define yourself? I have said it many times, Long Xing, everything today is not caused by you, it is just the enemy who is eyeing you. It’s just an opportunity. Besides, you don’t really think that Atria can do anything to us, do you?”

Long Xing smiled wryly: "Haven't we already been beaten to the point of fleeing?"

"You can't say that," North shook his head. "Compared to strength and influence, we are inferior to Atria no matter what, and it is because they have few people that they can gather together in a short period of time to launch a general attack. We have lost temporarily It’s because the family power spreads all over the world and it’s too bloated, but even so, it won’t be annexed by Atria soon, so as long as we persevere, it’s too clear who will win.”

It's not that Long Xing doesn't understand this truth, but he is still in pain: "But cousin, I can't protect everyone."

North suddenly became serious: "Long Xing, even a god can't protect everyone. Maybe it's cruel to say this, but you will understand this truth sooner or later. You are the leader of Wilster, and the only thing you have to do is to lead As the family reaches a higher level, casualties are always inevitable, including the enemy, including us."

Long Xing fell silent, he seemed to know the true side of his cousin on this snowy night, but he was not happy in his heart.

North regained his smile: "Maybe one day I will die for the family..."

"Cousin!" Long Xing interrupted him, seeming a little angry, "Even if I can't protect anyone, but you alone, I will definitely not let you die."

North looked at Long Xing's eyes, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. He opened his mouth but could only utter a dry syllable, and finally laughed and joked: "Brother is very pleased to have your words! Go and rest now, you have to continue your journey tomorrow morning."

After speaking, without waiting for Long Xing's reaction, North left quickly as if he was avoiding something.

Walking in the big camp, North was frowning all the way, he felt that Long Xing seemed to be too dependent on him, no matter what the reason was, it was not a good thing.He was naturally afraid of trouble, no matter what reason Long Xing treated him differently, he would feel very awkward.

North couldn't help but sigh in his heart, hurry up and deal with the mess in front of him, and then find any reason to go out and travel, the world is so big, how happy it is.

Just when North was thinking about the future, he suddenly saw his father's back.

Eric was standing in front of a tent, and beside him was the old housekeeper Oka, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

After Oka nodded and left, North walked forward slowly: "Father, what did you and Oka just say?"

Eric turned his head to look at him, and there was no abnormality on his face: "It's nothing more than some unimportant chores. I can't put everything on the shoulder of that kid Long Xing. If I can handle it, I can help."

"Father," when Eric was about to enter the tent, North, who had been silent before, suddenly struggled and said, "You are a very smart person, I know, you will not bring us to Syracuse for no reason, let alone You must have your own considerations for pulling so many civilians who look like living targets on the road, but father, Long Xing...he is still young, and the pressure is already great, I hope you can take care of him more."

Some things don’t have to be straightforward. Eric understood North’s meaning, and he didn’t just find a reason to evade it. Instead, he looked at him and said seriously: “If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Long Xing not only He is your brother, and even the head of the family. Welster has a history of hundreds of years, and the ancestors have made great efforts to change Welster from an unknown small family to the head of the five major families today. Don’t we just need to enjoy its blessing? Long Xing is very similar to me, he will make a good leader.”

Eric had never said these words to him, and North couldn't see how his cousin resembled his father, but he couldn't say anything, he could only sigh and bow and leave.

On the same night, the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Banga City was full of voices, and the people of Atria were celebrating the victory of the Earth God in the first battle.The only person in the group who couldn't blend in seemed to be Fengshen. Unlike the smiling expressions of the others, his brows were furrowed.

The Vulcan next to him glanced at him and smiled slightly: "What's the matter, are you still struggling with Wilster's retreat route?"

Fengshen raised his wine glass worriedly: "Yes, I always feel that the offensive goggle is a little too smooth, and Wilster can't be that weak. And why are they heading towards Syracuse?"

In such a short period of time, Atria got the news from Wellstreet, either they joined the Sky Fox Army, or...they planted spies in Wellstreet.

Vulcan didn't take it seriously: "Our attack was sudden, and Wilster had to allocate part of his forces to deal with Vic and Xuanya. It is natural for the heart guard to guard against emptiness. As for why we are going to Syracuse...I don't deny it." Eric has any conspiracy, but he never dreamed that the traitor was by his side, and we all know what he has planned."

"Big Brother and Second Brother," Earth God walked over with a wine glass, "I think you are all frightened by Wilster's reputation. Failure is failure. What kind of conspiracy can they have? What I care more about is According to other information, that kid named Shunkong seems to be going to unite the scattered forces of Wilster, although it will not have any impact on the overall situation, it is still very annoying."

Vulcan nodded slowly: "There are also ghost pupils and Yan dimples mentioned in the letter, who want to hold Vic in delusion? They must not be allowed to succeed easily. Wouldn't it be a pity not to let Vic get involved in such a wonderful period?" ?”

The three gods laughed at the same time. In their eyes, Wilster was already like a flat boat in a storm. As long as they breathed, the game would be over.

Leaving aside Shunkong, Guitong and Yandi are running away like bereaved dogs.Since Ghost Tong was under the backlash of the undead, it is not suitable to run around, so they have not yet arrived at the pick-up location.But when they came to the Phantom City belonging to Wilster, they were temporarily relieved.

The two walked into an unremarkable dilapidated tavern, and after sitting down, Yan Di looked worriedly at the pale Ghost Tong: "If you can't hold on any longer, you must tell me, or you can stay in the Phantom City to heal your wounds, and I will be alone." Hurry back to the protective mirror as soon as possible to report this matter."

Guitong stubbornly shook his head: "No, it's a mess now, not only Atria is watching, but also no one knows whether Vic and Xuanya's people have infiltrated the north, it's too dangerous for you to act alone. "

These words are actually quite different from what Yan Di thought. She was also worried that there would be some accidents if Guitong was left alone. Even Fuguang City fell into the hands of outsiders for no reason. I am afraid that Phantom City is not so safe now.

Yan Di nodded: "Then eat something and rest early, we'd better go back as soon as possible."

Whether it was the news about Fuguang City or the information that their plans had exposed, they had to tell Long Xing as soon as possible.Only now did Yan Di really understand why so many families dare not offend and covet the Tianhu army, because the transmission of information is very important, if they also have the Tianhu army, they don't need to rush so day and night .

Guitong's body was very weak, and he would cough for a while from time to time, Yan Dimple was full of him, so when the two of them realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

Even the waiters and diners in the tavern no longer pretended to be, forcing the two of them to a dead end.

Ghost Tong was thinking about the retreat in his mind, and asked, "Who are you? This is the territory of Wilster. You don't plan to do it here, do you?"

The fox army didn't answer him these days, but quickly set up a magic circle on the ground of the tavern.

Guitong saw that this should be a space magic circle, and the other party seemed to intend to expose it to a certain space power user.Regardless of his current body, Guitong decisively chose to attack.Now they are surrounded by a bunch of young people, if any powerful person is provoked, he and Yan Di will not be able to leave.

Yan Di also understood the current situation, there was no need to communicate with Ghost Tong at all, the two tacitly used their dark abilities at the same time, and the tavern was instantly filled with energy fluctuations.

The Tianhu soldiers were not very good at fighting head-on, so they didn't fight head-on with them. After completing the space magic circle on the ground, they retreated quickly, and then raised a very defensive stone wall to reinforce the entire tavern. .

"Rush out, they want to trap us!" Ghost Tong yelled, although his current body could no longer support him to use advanced abilities, but he had to do so in order to escape, "Darkness, tear!"

A phantom like a devil's wings appeared behind the ghost pupil, and the dark energy bursting out of it instantly blasted a gap in the stone wall.

But at this moment, a terrifying energy fluctuation came from the space magic circle, and a new enemy has arrived!

"Yan Di, let's go!" Gui Tong immediately shouted at Yan Di, knowing that there was no time to continue pestering her.

"Want to go?"

Gui Tong heard a familiar voice, and then saw a black halo hitting Yan Di's back.

Before he had time to think about it, Gui Tong spread his wings and threw himself behind Yan Di and forcefully blocked her. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's the man from Fu Guang City! You go!"

Yan Di turned around angrily, although she didn't say anything, her actions had already told Guitong her response, that is, she would not leave him and run away alone.

If two people grew up together, they encountered many crises together, but this time was different, Gui Tong knew that he and Yan Di could not defeat the opponent in front of him no matter what, so he gave Yan Di a hard push: "This is not the time to be willful! You must tell Long Xing all this! Do you know!?"

Yan Di's expression paused, that's right, they are now the chief's personal guards, and their personal feelings will always be compromised in front of the family's interests.

Guitong feels that every second is very precious now, he can already see the two figures appearing on the space magic circle, and there are waves of attacks erupting from it, he can only resist and look at Yan Di firmly: "Walk!"

"Wait for me to come back and save you!"

After gritting his teeth and dropping these words, Yan Di turned around and jumped into the air, rushing out through the gap that Guitong had just broken.

Ghost Tong was already at the end of his strength, and he suddenly relaxed after seeing Yan Di leaving safely, and the dark attribute power ball that followed instantly knocked him down.

The severe pain made Guitong's eyes go black, and he only saw two vague figures walking out of the space circle, and then Gong Lan's voice: "One of them ran away, and Master Vic's space ability also Is it too slow?"

Vic laughed: "Who told you to forcefully attack when the magic circle was unstable? It's not bad that you and I can get out alive."

It was Vik and Gong Lan who came. This kind of long-distance teleportation can't bring many people, otherwise it will overdraw the power, but what Vik didn't expect was that Gong Lan was really willing to follow him when he just mentioned it casually. come together.

It can only be said that Gong Lan really does not want to see Xuan Ya.

"But let's just be alone, we can always ask what we want to know." Vic suppressed his smile, and walked slowly to Ghost Tong's side.

Hearing the voice, Ghost Tong opened his eyes with difficulty, and when he saw clearly that it was Vik who was there in person, he suddenly became furious: "Vic! How dare you show up!"

Vic sneered: "Oh, when did I lose to you, why didn't I dare to show up?"

Ghost Tong continued to stare at him: "Because of your sudden betrayal, the family is in danger, and you have no right to be a member of Wilster!"

Vic's expression became even colder: "What kind of thing are you, and you are worthy of my pointing?! Let me tell you, the family you speak of is about to face disaster. According to the news I got, the heart guard has been taken away by Art. Leah is destroyed, even if your little girlfriend goes back, she won’t be able to see Dragon Star anymore.”

Gui Tong's expression froze: "Impossible... You lied to me, how could the protective mirror fall? How is Long Xing now?!"

"Master Vic," Gong Lan said with a half-smile, "Are you asking him or is he asking you? Why don't you just tell him all your plans and let him go back in front of Long Xing A few words for you."

"Tell me," Vic kicked Ghost Tong like a dead dog, "Besides you, who else did Dragon Star send and what activities did they carry out?"

Gui Tong lay on the ground without saying a word. The reason why he desperately covered Yan Di's retreat was to make Long Xing take precautions as soon as possible. How could he tell Vic more things now?

Vic smiled coldly: "It seems that you want to suffer some flesh and blood."

Guitong continued to remain silent, but just when Vic was about to attack again, Gong Lan stopped him: "Master Vic, I want to ask, how do you plan to torture him?"

Vic wasn't sure what Gong Lan's intention was, but he still smiled and said, "Why, are you too bloody to watch it? It doesn't matter, I can break every bone in him, and it will make him feel sick even if he doesn't see blood. Life is better than death."

"It's really boring," Gong Lan disdained, "Is life better than death? I really don't know whether to say, Master Vic, that you have long hair and short knowledge, or that you have a bodhisattva heart."

Vik found that Gong Lan was more and more prone to push his nose in front of him, but he knew that Gong Lan was such a person, if Gong Lan had been submissive to him like Mi Rui, he would have told Gong Lan to leave.So Vic asked patiently, "Then what good advice do you have?"

"Do you know why the Poison Fang family is called Poison Fang?" Gong Lan walked over slowly, and poked out a small but creepy snake head from his cuff, "The art of controlling snakes is the symbol of our family, and it is also the symbol of our family. My favorite way to torture people. You don't need to use any effort, just put this little thing in his body and watch him cry bitterly."

Vic made way for him: "You keep this thing on you all the time?"

"What do you think?" Gong Lan glanced at him without complaining, "If I wear it all the time, do you think you have a chance to touch me?"

That was released after the drunk incident... Vic felt that he seemed to be regarded as a stinky hooligan by Gong Lan.

A normal snake is scary enough, not to mention that it is a snake of a supernatural being. Ghost Tong felt disgusted when he saw the thing spitting out the letter, gritted his teeth and said, "Kill me if you have the ability, don't do these stupid things!" Abuse!"

Gong Lan smiled and threw the snake on Gui Tong's body: "This is not called Xia Sanluan, the real Xia Sanluan, you have to ask Master Vic for advice."

"It's not over, is it?" Vic smiled wryly.

The two of them were in a good mood, but Guitong felt bitter. He wanted to struggle to throw off the poisonous snake, but as soon as the slender snake landed on him, it quickly bit a hole in his abdomen, and then quickly burrowed into it. into his body.

Ghost Tong didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing before, and immediately stretched out his hand in horror, even if he tore open the wound, he didn't want a snake running back and forth in his stomach.

But before he could make a move, the sudden burst of severe pain made him howl weakly.He could feel that the snake's sharp scales were scratching his internal organs, and seemed to be biting him in the stomach.

"Ah... ah!" Ghost Tong rolled over in pain on the ground, and physical tears burst out all at once, "Kill me, kill me! Don't torture me anymore!"

The severe pain made him unable to gather any abilities, otherwise he would commit suicide, and Guitong didn't want to experience this pain anymore.He never knew that the feeling of being directly bitten by the soft internal organs was like this, as if all the pain in the world had gathered on him, every wriggling and every bite of the poisonous snake made him want to cry .

Tears and cold sweat flowed together, and the appearance of Guitong howling and struggling in pain was naturally extremely enjoyable in Gong Lan's eyes. He glanced at Vic meaningfully: "This is how I deal with people I hate, Vic Don't make me hate you, young master."

Although Ghost Tong's howl was very scary, Vic didn't change his face, and even replied to Gong Lan: "Oh, so Gong Lan, you don't hate me now, do you?"

Ghost Tong didn't care about the content of their conversation anymore, he looked at Vic with pain on his face, and spoke intermittently: "Vic... You are also at any rate, Wei...Wilster's people, why, you have to deal with it with others We... ah!"

Vic looked at him coldly: "Didn't you just say that I'm not qualified to be a member of Wilster? Are you being cowardly?"

"Kill me..." Ghost Tong's eyes gradually lost their expression, he really wanted to pass out, even if he died directly, but that was an extravagant wish.No matter how intense and unbearable the pain was, his nerves would transmit it to his brain exactly, but he couldn't even die.

"The toxin will keep you awake for a long time," Gong Lan smiled slightly, "But I haven't opened my mouth yet, it seems that the pain is not enough, do I need another one?"

Saying that, a poisonous snake emerged from Gong Lan's cuff again.

Fear finally appeared in Guitong's eyes: "Don't... I beg you not to!"

Vic said coldly: "Then tell me Dragon Star's plan."

The pain in his body became more and more unbearable. Seeing Gong Lan approaching him with a smile, Gui Tong finally broke down and shouted: "I say! I will tell you all! Long Xing... sent me and Yan Di to find a suitable one. place, I want to stop you and Xuanya..."

Vic continued to ask, "What else?"

"Also...he also asked Shun Kong to take North's two secret guards to be responsible...to contact forces from all over the family...the others are all preparing to go to war in the protective mirror, and I really don't know the rest!"

Guitong finally cried aloud, not sure if it was too much pain, or because she hated herself for betraying her companion.
