Heartbreaker

Fallows had a vague feeling that he had seen the young Prince Lemon—a completely different person from now.

But even if he met, he never took the other party to heart.In my impression, the little prince was not very talkative, always timid, and his clear and bright singing voice could only be heard when playing music.

Fallows doesn't like rhythm, and he can't hear any beautiful charm.He likes to practice swords and compete with stronger opponents.Prince Lemon's swordsmanship has been rusty and clumsy for several years, but Prince Airon is a formidable opponent with extraordinary talent.He often competed with that Highness in swordsmanship.In his eyes, Airon Sol is a stubborn prince, with a frivolous personality and a kind of casual arrogance towards everyone and everything.

But as long as he holds the sword tightly, he is completely different.He will choose the fiercest and swiftest way to strike the sword, and knock down the enemy mercilessly in the fewest moves.

"Get up, Pharos, you are the one who will be my knight, don't fall before the prince."

In the memory, Airon squatted on the ground, stared at his tired face with a playful smile, and stretched out his hand to him, letting him use his strength to get up.The prince was almost a head taller than the young knight, and his muscles were strong and tight, full of beauty.Fallows often saw Iron flirting with some strange girl—one at a time.Some girls were older than Airon, but they couldn't resist the prince's charm.

Ai Rong likes to hug the whole person in his arms, showing off his strength.Those beautiful girls nestled in the prince's arms coquettishly, but Airon's eyes were still playful and indifferent, as if he didn't care about them at all.

"Oh, my dear little Lemon. Come, let my brother hug you!"

Only for one person, Ai Rong is uncharacteristically.But the prince's eyes often made Fallows feel strange.He couldn't describe what that look was like, he just felt that there would be two iron shuttles that were as hot as pokers, protruding from Prince Airon's eyeballs, piercing Prince Lymon's chest.

"what!"

In the end, the little prince Lemon screamed and ran away, and then he was held tightly by his brother, writhing his body and struggling.Airon had never kissed any girl proactively, but he was very enthusiastic about Prince Lemon, so enthusiastic that it was a bit unsightly - at that time Fallows was frightened by the word that suddenly flashed in his mind. "Unsightly".

He had thought that the relationship between the two Saul brothers should be very good.A few years later, when he was 12 years old and went to Wangcheng with his father again, he had grown into a tough and handsome young man.At that time, he deliberately paid attention to Prince Lemon, but to his surprise, that prince seemed to have disappeared from the world, and it was difficult to find him.

It was that time, by chance, Prince Airon asked him to go hunting.Fallows put the saddle on the steed, and said casually, "Don't you ask His Highness Lymon to come out?"

Ai Rong was packing his quiver, when he heard this, his eyes were blood red, he stared straight at him and said, "What do you mean?"

It was the first time that the other party showed such a fierce expression, like a wild beast that suddenly bared its fangs.Fallows didn't know what he said wrong, and said, "It's nothing. I heard from the servants in the palace that Prince Lemon often stays in the bedroom and sees no one, wondering if he also likes hunting. We can go with him .”

"He doesn't like it." Ai Rong replied quickly, "He only likes to play that broken piano and sing some nasty and sour poems. He stays in the palace every day, and his life is monotonous and boring, without any excitement or fun." He laughed uttered a laugh that made Fallows shudder, "Like a little bitch."

The two rode their horses and galloped across the vast grassland.Airon's silver-white horse was slender and powerful, and he ran as fast as the wind, and his master handled it as he pleased. Pharos had to work hard to keep up with the prince.

Ai Rong carelessly tossed his messy blond hair, then suddenly slowed down and jumped off the white horse.Fallows tightened the reins with difficulty, and followed the prince to lead the horse forward.

After a while, the young little knight commander heard the prince's indifferent voice, "From now on, you are not allowed to mention Prince Lemon's matter in front of me, understand?"

Fallows didn't understand, so, "Why?"

Airon said coldly, "You are my knight."

Fallows said, "My loyalty to you has nothing to do with knowing Prince Lymon."

"I said you are not allowed!" Ai Rong suddenly roared, "He is my younger brother! As his elder brother, I am qualified to take care of him, including who he can contact! I said you are not allowed, you are No!"

Fallows replied reluctantly, "I refuse. Your words make no sense, Your Highness."

"Reason?" Ai Rong's angry expression turned dark and cold in an instant, and blood streaked up the whites of his widened eyes around his pupils.Fallows felt that he hadn't seen him for several years, and there seemed to be something wrong with him, but he still said, "That's right, it makes sense, Your Highness. Although Prince Lemon is your younger brother, he is not your property, and you have no right to treat him—"

"He's mine!"

With a bang, after a long absence, Prince Airon beat him up again.But Fallows was still the same Fallows, he roared angrily, and still wrestled with His Highness the Prince.It was a real fight.Due to the prince's dignity, he didn't dare to use too much cruelty, but Ai Rong beat his eyes and mouth corners bloody like crazy.

Two horses were wagging their tails and snorting, while a 14-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy were exhausted from fighting, and the sky was fading away before they fell together on the grass.

"I just don't allow you to talk about Lemon." Ai Rong quietly stared at the blood-colored orange sunset, "Not just you, I don't allow anyone."

****

Under the faint candlelight, the knight commander of the Winter Tirion Legion scribbled out the battle plan on the blueprint.Fallows rubbed his sore eyes, and fell directly on the bed with his clothes on.

He thought dazedly, how could he always think of the past recently?

It has been five months since the Winter Ting Army won their first battle.In the past five months, the army of the Twilight Empire did not make much movement, and waited for the opportunity in several strongholds in the northern border, like their patient emperor.And Pharos led the soldiers to capture several villages, temporarily solving some of the army's food needs.

He understood that the food in Vulture City was short of food, so he communicated with the king many times, so that the other party did not need to deliver food to the military camp on time every month, and used more food to relieve the victims, so that the Winter Ting Army could obtain supplies by attacking the occupied areas.

King Lymon's reply every time is so sharp that it makes one's head cringe: "I give the food to the soldiers, not you. What are you calling for?"

As for his inquiry about the status quo of Vulture City, His Majesty the King's reply was very straightforward: "Don't worry about it."

At the same time, Fallows spent his No. 18 birthday in a daze in the barracks.If it wasn't for the reminder from his subordinates, he would have put this matter behind him long ago.

"Ten days later, in the middle of the night, we will attack this stronghold." Fallows circled a certain village on the map and said in a deep voice, "This is a large granary where the Twilight Empire army is stationed, maintaining Badgerhead Bay, Gray Warbler Town and Rega The food transportation of the three stations near the canyon is settled here, and the resistance for us to enter the Black Maple Plain will be much smaller."

A general said, "This stronghold is heavily guarded, so I'm afraid it's not easy to succeed."

Fallows said firmly, "So, we're going to sneak attack at night."

Everyone was silent for a while, and an officer said, "Chief Knight, the previous Winter Ting Army did not have a precedent for night attack."

Fallows shook his head and said, "That's because the former Wanjiang Empire was rich in products and had sufficient reserves, so that the soldiers could let go of their hands and feet on the battlefield, and insist on being upright. Now there is a huge gap between us and the Twilight Empire, so we must use a strange plan."

The general said, "But the soldiers of the Winter Ting Army probably don't have much experience in surprise attacks..."

"No, they have." Fallows smiled helplessly, "You think I let them compete with His Majesty's Godhunters many times before... What is the purpose?"

****

The God Hunter Army in Vulture City was founded by King Lemon Sol, and was disciplined by the crippled Raig, Amu, and Aie. While killing more than a dozen villages, there are also many things worth learning.Many of their so-called "experience talks" are contrary to human nature and are despised by honest men.

But in some special cases, very useful.

Fallows had seen from afar the main officer of the Godshunters, One-Eyed Ior, training soldiers.Others said that this half-blind man was a hooligan, but for some reason, the young knight commander could sense something familiar from him.Although the one-eyed Ai Er was full of indifference and disdain for him, especially when they first entered Vulture City and participated in the melee.

It wasn't until Marshal Buckhouse died in the tattoo castle that the cold "one-eyed Ir" looked him straight.

There is no moon and no stars tonight, and the clouds are low, as if the sky is about to change.There are no cold winds wandering about like ghosts in the woods, nor crows and owls hooting hoarsely.Compared with Vulture City, this place is already southerly, and it is closer to the Black Maple Plain, which is far away from the grassland. The land is moist and soft, and the branches are also lush.

Fallows led a group of soldiers in an ambush in the woods near the granary stronghold.They covered their whole bodies with black cloaks, their faces were painted with soot, and they wore no armor, so that they could move as lightly as possible.

One, two, three, four... Fallows counted them one by one in his heart, his eyes shining like a wolf even in the dark night.There are 4000 soldiers stationed in ten granaries, and their team has only 100 people.He specially selected quick-moving and flexible soldiers as part of the surprise attack, and explained to them the danger of the operation.

After all, this time, it is very likely that there will be no return.including himself.

The people he selected were not only the elites of the Winter Ting Army, but also the most loyal martyrs who even sacrificed their own lives.Fallows suppressed the sourness and emotion in his heart—they were heroes.

The young knight commander gestured a few gestures and received responses one by one.Then they started to move, crawling in the grass and crawling towards the white yurt tents that were propped up one by one.There are eight soldiers guarding each granary every eight hours.

The timing they picked happened to be the seventh hour when each group of soldiers was guarding, which was the time when the soldiers were prone to sleepiness and carelessness.

It's three o'clock at night.Occasionally, the sound of insects could be heard in his ears, and a beetle buzzed and flew close to his forehead.Cold sweat broke out on Fallows' forehead, his nails were filled with mud, and the sharp stones on the grass scratched his arms with bloodstains.The young knight is very fortunate that there are plants to hide his figure here.

The surprise attack team, like a sneaking shadow, rushed towards the camp of the Twilight Imperial Army like a tide, pressing out traces on the grass, and quietly surrounded the granary...

Pfft——!

In the blink of an eye, around each granary there were ten more decisive black shadows, stabbing every guarding soldier to the ground neatly with their swords.The soldiers patrolling nearby saw it, and just as they were about to blow their horns, Fallows rushed forward and broke the opponent's neck with both hands.Seeing this, the soldiers of the Twilight Empire started to make a noise, and the noise shook the sky, and they drew their swords and swung at the attackers!

"Knight Commander, we are here to assist you!"

The Winter Ting soldiers only left one or two people outside the round tent, and the others ran to Fallows to help.It was clearly late at night, but Fallows realized that the number of patrols exceeded the usual level.While the tent soldiers were busy lighting matches, he yelled, "Wait, something's not right!"

Along with Pharos' cry came the roars and cries of the enemy.The curtains of the granaries were lifted one by one, and more than 30 soldiers emerged from each yurt!They came fiercely like a swarm of bees coming out of a beehive, and the Winter Ting Army who stayed outside the tent were immediately stabbed to death with chaotic swords by the enemies who rushed forward.

"Damn it!" Fallows roared, facing soldiers attacking from all directions, he could only fight with the remaining Winter Ting Army.They completely lost the initiative and were surrounded by the enemy in a circle, and all the surprise soldiers who tried to break through were slaughtered.

In a blink of an eye, the Winter Ting Army had less than 100 members from the original 30.The enemy soldiers surrounding them chopped up the corpses of the Winter Ting Army in a leisurely manner. The people in the front each held a severed limb or pieces of meat, and waved at them with a smile.

Fallows was covered in blood, his own, that of his companions, and that of his enemies.The soldiers who fought with him died so tragically, and the soldiers of the twilight empire were like cats who cornered a group of mice, still admiring their embarrassing fatigue.Fallows' cold eyes were filled with anger and sadness, and he regretted his wrong decision.

The general of the Twilight Empire who guarded the granary was thin and thin, with a pair of cockroach-like eyes flashing, clapping his hands and shouting, "Look, this time the mouse that stole the grain was caught! It is said that the upright Winter Ting Army actually used Such a low-level method of sneak attack is really surprising!"

Fallows sneered, "The word 'inferior', Eliot the Kingslayer is worthy of the name."

The cockroach-eyed general smiled and said, "If I were in this situation, I wouldn't provoke my enemies."

"Even if a few of us can't get out today." Fallows gritted his teeth, "There are still hundreds of Winter Ting troops guarding behind, we will never give up!"

"The pretty words of a dead man don't mean much." The cockroach-eyed general yawned, squinting his eyes and said, "Kill them, we can sleep well..."

Suddenly, there was a light puff in the air, as if the entire domain was covered by a sack that fell from the sky, swallowing up the noise.The torches on the wooden poles were suddenly extinguished one after another, and the surroundings of the tent fell into a continuous and oppressive darkness, like a surrounding black river.

"what happened?!"

Not only the Winter Ting Army was amazed, but the soldiers of the Twilight Empire were also puzzled. The cockroach-eyed general shouted, "Go and light the fire!"

Fallows acted decisively, saying to the others, "Darkness is a golden opportunity! We'll—"

【Do not move. 】

An ethereal voice suddenly lingered in the air like a light smoke, swaying in the ears of every Dong Ting soldier, seeming to be real.Fallows trembled in his heart, clenched his long sword, and looked keenly at the top of the dark head——

Two faint blue flames passed by in an instant, as fast as the sword light stabbed by a warrior!Fallows and others immediately heard the screams of the soldiers of the Twilight Empire. They seemed to be cut in half by an invisible blade, and they collapsed limply on the ground. Fight back.Each corpse's face is filled with blank blankness, like a puppet whose soul has been drained.

After a while, the dust dissipated, and the Winter Ting Army, which had been surrounded in the center, watched the soldiers who were still shouting before turn into silent corpses, and felt shuddering.

Overwhelming force.That gaze looked down on them from a high place, as if looking down on the palm.In the palm of their hand they were just dolls playing in a snow globe, and a bigger hand was about to break the globe and crush them.

"Knight Commander..."

After a while, a soldier bravely called his commander.Fallows woke up like a dream, nodded, and the soldiers slowly advanced among the corpses, checking the breath of the dead.

Not a single survivor, 4000 people, in the blink of an eye...

Fallows clenched his fists, cold sweat dripping down his icy cheeks.He knew what it meant, and for a brief moment he was glad that "that being" belonged to their king.The young knight was silent for a while, as if in the darkness, above the bones, he heard a sad sigh.

"I know you're here!"

He suddenly couldn't help shouting into the air, as if this way he wouldn't be completely dominated by fear.He had to find an outlet for the overwhelming power behind him and the ensuing fear in his chest.The knight roared angrily, "Come out! Since you are here, don't hide behind your back! Do you think we will be grateful to you?! Come out! Anyway, we can't do anything to you, I just want to know your real purpose for doing this! Please come out!"

No one answered him in the dark night, and the weak cold wind lifted their cloaks, as if they were the sobs and sobs of the souls of the dead.After Fallows yelled, his legs and feet suddenly became weak, and he managed to hold on to not fall down.

The others said in a muffled voice, "Chief Knight, what should we do next?"

Fallows cheered up and quickly issued instructions, "Get in touch with the rear first, and then search for where the real food is hidden by them. We try to take as much as possible, as rations should last for a long time."

"Yes!"
