Heartbreaker

What the hell is on the summit of ember souls?

Ah Mu is not sure, after all, no one has set foot on that land in person, and rumors are not credible.The king of Wanjiang Empire should have been worried about this for a long time. Ever since the rumor of a "bad boy prince" appeared in the palace, terrible natural disasters have befallen this vast empire one after another.The sudden squalls and storms caused floods and tsunamis, which destroyed many villages. Afterwards, there was a scorching drought, and the fertile land was cracked like broken glass.

But what is even more strange is that every natural disaster ends quickly and smoothly.Some people say that the wrath of God is anticlimactic, some people say that the Wanjiang Empire is blessed by the gods, some people say that when a disaster strikes, they have seen the bloody thunder inlaid in the thick dark clouds at the end of the world continent and on the top of the ashes of souls.

"It's all fucking nonsense, what kind of soul embers, I don't believe in this evil."

Reig was drinking drunkenly, waving and yelling nonchalantly.At this time, it was winter outside, and the ground was covered with pure white snowflakes. Looking at the fine fluffy snow, Ah Mu said, "I haven't seen Ai Er for a long time. I don't know how he is doing. He hasn't even sent a letter recently. Did something happen?"

Reiger said, "Ai Er has a sense of proportion, the matter of losing his head will not happen to him."

After the two brothers got together, they parted.Ah Mu returned to the garrison house next to the city wall, took over from the last soldier's shift, wrapped his cotton clothes tightly and walked up the battlements.He hadn't rested long before someone called him, "Em, help me pull the sling."

Ah Mu hurried over, grabbed the cold iron handle, and asked while spinning the shaft, "Why do you want to open the city gate now?"

"Don't worry about it. There are orders from above, we just obey."

The iron gate slowly rose. Looking down from the tall city wall, Amu saw a carriage coming from the royal city, advancing methodically through the ice and snow, finally passing through the city gate and disappearing at the end of the vast snowfield.

Since then, there have been no more inexplicable natural disasters in the empire.

Two years later, the Wanjiang Empire was in turmoil and wars were raging.

This caught many people by surprise.When Amu was fully armed and stood in a dense row with many soldiers on the city wall, preparing to attack the Mogols below the city from the arrow holes, he was extremely frustrated but had to fight hard.The defense lines of the Wanjiang Empire were broken through by the Mogols, and they were beaten to the bottom of the city.Is there any room for redemption?

Their majesty the king personally put on the battlements, stood on the high battlements, under the flag of the empire, and shouted to the Mogul soldiers, "We will fight to the last moment, and we will never surrender!"

Immediately, a dramatic scene appeared.

The Mogul army raised a thick cross.A skinny boy with blond hair was tied naked|naked to it, shaking in the cold wind.

The enemy general shouted jokingly through the insurmountable height of the city wall, "This is your youngest son, Prince Lemon Sol, His Majesty the King of the Wanjiang Empire! If you want to shoot an arrow, your son will be the first One was buried in the rain of arrows!"

The soldiers were in an uproar, caught off guard by the enemy's move.Every archer looked at each other in cold sweat, not knowing what to do.

Mosquito-like whispers filled the walls.

"I also heard that the prince left the palace two years ago, was sent to the summit of the ember of soul, and never came back."

"Then what's going on now? How could Prince Lemon be in the hands of the Mogols?"

"I don't know. Maybe the Mogol tribe is very close to the Ash Peak, or maybe the prince happened to be caught by the enemy after he escaped..."

Everyone is waiting for the king's decision.If you don't use arrows to attack at this time, you will lose this unique advantage.And once all arrows are fired, there is no doubt that Prince Lemon, who bears the brunt, will become a living target.

Just when everyone was helpless, the king's face was ashen, and his eyes were cold, calling for people to take his silver-carved bow and arrow.King Wanjiang wound the arrow calmly, and his icy roar resounded throughout the world, "I tell you, Mogul people. Don't try to disturb our army's morale with this. Now if no one dies, ten thousand people in the city will die. If the blood is not broken, the city will be destroyed." Broken. Not to mention whether he is a real prince, even if he is my son, for my people, I have no choice!"

With a whoosh, the king shot|shot the first arrow.No one hesitated, and the mighty rain of arrows rushed down towards the Mogols with a momentum that covered the sky and covered the sun.The Mogol army on the ground immediately blocked countless bronze shields, and the neighing horses staggered and ran among the sharp arrow clusters, like a blue-gray ocean floating with green algae.

While Eminem was shooting arrows, he occasionally wondered what happened to the prince.The trace of the cross has disappeared, and the enemy's troops are restlessly avoiding the rain of arrows, only the life and death of the little prince is uncertain.Regardless of whether the king's move was right or wrong, he felt that if he was that prince, when his father pointed an arrow at him, even if his body was not dead, his heart would already be dead.

The rain of arrows effectively resisted the ferocious attack of the Moguls, forcing their army to retreat three feet.On the night of the temporary truce, the city wall was heavily guarded, and the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy. Amu looked towards the blue earth outside the city in the misty light, and suddenly saw a black spot on the ground.

He hurriedly called someone to look through the long-sighted glasses, and found that there were broken pieces of wood scattered around the black spot. A boy-like body was embedded in the ground, covered with bruises as if trampled into the soil by countless horseshoes, and the golden hair was frozen. The blood was stained red, like silver needles spattered with blood.

It was Prince Lymon Thor.

****

What happened afterwards was not very clear to Eminem. He vaguely felt that it was the brain's way of self-protection, erasing the most terrifying memory.The howling wind and snow buried numerous bones on the ground, messy clusters of arrows were pierced with piles of severed limbs, pools of blood condensed into a ruby-like layer of ice in the icy world, and there were only a few faint and piercing dragging sounds echoing in the vast world. On the walls of the Empire where the banner was cut off.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, none of the three brothers died, and they were all imprisoned in the Mogol prisoner-of-war camp, huddled together in the bleak wind.

Eldest brother Reige's spirit is fairly stable, but Ai Er is a little bit bad.Ever since he was imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp, he has been out of his mind, and he has completely lost his calm and calm appearance. Occasionally, he would grit his teeth and stare at his dull eyes, obsessively chanting a word vaguely, and his tone was full of resentment.

[Undead. 】

The three brothers finally got together, but they didn't expect to end up in such a sad end.Eminem was afraid that Ai Er would be overwhelmed, and Reige was also extremely nervous.The two elder brothers followed their younger brother closely, for fear that the other would commit suicide.

The Mogul soldiers divided them into several teams and assigned tasks to clean up and rebuild the ruins after the war, and all disobedient ones would be killed without mercy.Laige was assigned to the construction team, Eminem was to the logistics team, and Ayer was to the transport team. They went in and out of the ruins with other people every day, smashed broken walls and ruins with hammers, loaded bricks, tiles and rubble with carts, and stirred the construction. The cement used can be said to be the most complicated and hardest task.

Every time Eminem sees Ai Er holding a hammer, he feels inexplicably flustered.His younger brother, the King's Silver Lin Knight, finally wanted to use a hammer to smash the old country's bricks and tiles, how cruel.He and Raig found the foreman, hoping to exchange positions with his brother, and stuffed everything into the foreman's hands, but to no avail.

Once, Eyre came back and said, "I was just above the city gate, and I saw His Majesty's head hanging there. His head was hanging there alone, and I went in and out under the broken neck of his neck. If he can still speak If he talks, he will definitely ask me to accompany him arrogantly..."

He and Reig were almost shocked when they heard this sentence.Raig's hands trembled, and he shouted in panic and anger, "Aie, I don't care if you were a knight or not, but now you want to stay with me and your second brother. You want to stay with us, you are not allowed to die, you know?!"

Eminem heard Ai Er laugh lightly, and the laughter made them both stand on end.That night, Raig was at a loss, so he wanted to use violence to suppress him, almost rolling up his sleeves and beating up his younger brother.

Finally, Aie laughed again and said, "Don't worry, big brother, second brother, I won't die."

Having said that, Eminem felt that if Aiur really wanted to die, neither he nor Raig could stop him.

There was no way, he and his eldest brother Lai Ge could only watch his younger brother numbly follow the team away every morning, worrying about whether he would see the other party's return.

Until one day, they didn't expect that Ai Er didn't commit suicide, but disappeared.

****

"I heard that you two are Eyre's elder brothers?"

The foreman with a crooked face grinned, followed by a group of burly soldiers, surrounded Laig and Eminem, and escorted them out.At this time, it was just dawn, and before it was time to get up, they were picked up.During this period, Raig kept winking at Eminem in confusion, but Eminem didn't know it, and just stood in the thin wind and snow with the escort.

He saw the icy torture instruments with silver light on the iron table in front of him, and immediately shuddered.

"Your brother is gone. He was there when the lights went out last night, but now he's gone."

The foreman's face gradually became ferocious and terrifying, and a pair of thief eyes swept the faces of the two brothers back and forth, asking, "Where are the others?"

Raig got annoyed immediately, and shouted, "I still have to ask you. Where did you take my brother?! If you secretly killed him, just wait for me!"

With a bang, he was hit by a hard fist wrapped in gauntlets by an escort soldier, a bloody tooth fell into the snow, and a large purple bruise bulged on his side cheek.

Eminem said anxiously, "Brother—what are you doing? We've told the truth, we don't know where Ai Er is!"

"I see that you are sophistry." The foreman gritted his teeth and said, "The three of you brothers are usually as good as one. The younger brother is nowhere to be seen, but the elder brother doesn't know? I don't believe it. If you don't tell me, we will naturally have it." There is a way for you to say it!"

Soon, the instruments of torture on the table were used on them.The first ray of dawn illuminated the earth in the early morning, and the screams of the two brothers echoed continuously on the cold earth.The other captive laborers had also woken up, and when they went out, they saw their miserable state, as well as little blood splashed on the ice and snow.

"Don't say it!" The prisoner stared at the round eyes, and while beating the man tied to the stake like a mad dog, he grinned and said, "If you don't say it, I will destroy you!"

The workers were terrified, but no one dared to speak out.The three groups of people were as quiet as chickens, and stood up in order, waiting for a new day of slavery.Until the figure of the last member of the team disappeared into the prisoner camp, Raiger and Eminem were tortured to the brink of death, hanging from the execution post covered in blood, their warm bodies filled with bloody steam in the cold wind.

The criminal officer and the foreman saw that the man was going to be beaten to death, and they couldn't get any news, so they got together and muttered endlessly.Reige was hanging on the stake, and weakly asked his younger brother beside him, "Mum...you said...Ai Er...where did you go..."

Amu opened his eyes with difficulty, "You... hope he comes back..."

"No..." Reige's mouth was full of blood, and he was coughing continuously, "If he is dead...just let us go with him...if he...is alive...don't come back...you son of a bitch... Our lives... are in his... palm..."

Amu said with sour eyes, "Brother...don't talk...it's exhausting..."

The foreman and criminal officer over there obviously finished their discussion, turned around and walked towards them swaggeringly.Seeing the foreman's high-spirited virtue, Ah Mu felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling with anger, and he wished to punch his head flat.

"The laborer Aie is missing, and you are his elder brother." The foreman twisted the domineering neck, and delivered the final torture, "It stands to reason that if the younger brother made a mistake, the older brother should be punished for him——we It is decided to abolish the leg of the laborer Raige and cut off the arm of the laborer Amu, and he will be a slave of the new country forever!"
