Awakening of Rebirth

Chapter 73

In the year 778 of the Imperial Calendar, the situation in the country of Anota changed drastically.

At the beginning of August, the Far Eastern Army revolted. At the end of October, Techuan was captured, and after opening the traffic arteries, there was no danger and they drove straight in.The generals of the anti-rebel army were replaced several times, but they were incompetent. Facing the approach of the Far Eastern Army, they retreated again and again.

The Prince Regent, Tafil, had petitioned to go to the front, but he said he couldn't afford it after one night.Some people who went to visit secretly revealed that Tafil was not infected with the disease, but suffered serious internal injuries, and there was even a lingering breath of black magic in his body. Everyone keeps silent about this, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that he must have offended some unknown force, and who benefits from what this force does?Of course there is only Chang Sheng who is now leading the entire Far East uprising army.

Therefore, some people said that this hidden force in the dark was most likely cultivated in secret by Chang Sheng in advance.This little girl who held the banner of justice and claimed that she only wanted justice had already had a small calculation of power in her heart.In order to gain power that does not belong to her, she fabricated such a serious and unnecessary crime for her eldest brother and second brother out of thin air. Since the day of the civil strife, the demons have never invaded the Far East. Now who is colluding with the demons? Clear at a glance?Such scheming and uncompromising people are the ones who should be punished!

People's hearts are always easy to stir up, so the rumors spread to Changsheng's ears amidst the people's disputes from word of mouth, which is very ironic.

"There's no need to be charged? Second brother did a good job in this play, and the thief shouting "Catch the thief" is quite decent."

Well, the one who said he was sick was nothing more than the fact that the demons needed the blood from the next fierce battle in Talan City, pretended to be a victim, and deliberately let people release some news, pointing the finger at her. The idea, and affect the people's aspirations, the method is a little bit higher than Lurek.

The rebel army did not respond to this, but only marched westward, heading straight for Taran.Wherever they passed, they only took the leader of the rebellion and the supplies of the city and drove to the next place, so as not to hurt innocent people. Gradually, a voice appeared...

"Regardless of the forces in the Far East and the Talan forces, they are accusing each other of colluding with the demons. It has been nearly a year since the civil strife, and the cities captured by the Far East Army have not undergone great changes except for the scars of the war. People are still living their lives. The life is almost the same as before, if this is the case, as long as Ainota's surname remains unchanged, as long as life is worry-free, what difference will it make in who will rule in the future?"

Such voices grew quietly between the voices of support from both sides, until the first city surrendered without a fight, more and more people chose to surrender before the arrival of the Far East Army.

"Lurek can't keep us, so why should we bleed for him, for his undisputed resistance and sacrifice in front of the elite Far East Army? Is it because of his orthodoxy that has been denied thousands of times? Princess Changsheng too Royal blood, why not follow her!"

For a while, the news of the loss of the territory came back to Taran one after another, much faster than everyone expected. The Far East, which was once barren and unable to raise troops, was now able to be self-sufficient and even recruit The defeated soldiers along the way became stronger.

The so-called "loyalty" has always been insignificant in the face of death and profit, and these loyal people who value life more than life have finally lost the right to choose their own destiny under the current situation, and have become abandoned children who look forward to support. Persevered until the last moment, cursing the enemy who broke the city, dying with regret.

Mo Ni stood on the dilapidated city tower, looking at the blood under her feet and outside the city that had never been washed away by the heavy rain, looked down at Bai De who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said, "Such a bloody soldier is blind, and then People who shouldn't follow..."

"They just chose to believe what they wanted to believe, and regarded it as the only inviolable belief. We knew that everything we did was for Ainota, but in their eyes, we were the rebels who started the civil war. What they want to do is to protect the place they want to protect." Bai De looked at Mo Ni, he was wearing a thick coat, wrapped half of his face with a worn-out scarf, folded his hands in his sleeves, The old brows and eyes are full of traces of the years, and even the emotion is a little weak: "I should be as firm as them, but I was involved in the power war after all."

"grown ups……"

"Do you know why I must ask you to take me up to have a look?"

"Monnie doesn't know."

"I have something I want to talk to you about." Under the night, the old commander asked Mo Ni with his eyes shining brightly: "I used to hate touching this bottom line, but now I have to do it, and now I have violated my original will. .”

"Serving the country and the people is your lifelong ambition, how can you violate it?"

"The road to power has always been full of thorns and blood. Isn't it rare for brothers to kill each other? No matter what infidelity and injustice Lurek has done for the throne, as long as he is in power and the people's livelihood is safe and peaceful, he is a qualified king. And those who start the war, no matter how many reasons they have, once defeated, they will become the target of public criticism and sinners through the ages. The history written by the winners will never record the truth, let alone sympathize with the losers. Therefore, for the common people , as long as they can still live normally, they won't care too much about whose country it is, anyway... aren't they all surnamed Ainota?"

"Then, is it because of the plan to revive the demons?"

"Empty words are empty, have you never suspected in your heart that these seemingly nonsensical statements are actually just excuses for seeking power?"

Moni looked at the elderly commander, speechless for a moment.

She had doubts, but she has always been clear about her selfishness, as long as it is what the little highness wishes, she will do her best to achieve it.Perhaps, this is truly trusting a person. As long as you give absolute trust, you will not ask whether it is right or wrong, because you know that he will not live up to your trust, so you can go forward without hesitation for him.

"It's not the princess you trust." Bai De looked at Moni with a smile in his eyes.

Mo Ni subconsciously turned sideways to avoid the eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts, but calmed down after a while, looked directly at Bird, and said: "My lord has never met Your Highness, if I do, I will appreciate it very much."

"Your Majesty's birthday is winter. If I remember correctly, he will be seventeen this year." Bai De said, and couldn't help thinking of the child with stubborn eyes and calm temperament in the Southwest Army. That year was also the same as today's Your Highness is about the same age.

"In half a month, it will be His Highness's birthday." Mo Ni couldn't help lowering her eyelashes as she said, unable to hide the longing in her eyes.

When I left Mokodo, it was the early spring when the chill was still there, but now it is deep winter in the blink of an eye.It turned out that before I knew it, I had been away from Moko for almost a year, and I don't know how His Royal Highness Mingluo is now, whether he has calmed down a lot, whether...he has grown taller?

Seeing that Mo Ni seemed to be in deep thought, Bird said slowly: "I stand up, I just believe in a person's choice, I believe that even if that person has no army in his hand, and even if he can't hold a weapon openly, he still wants to continue fighting. It means that the darkness has invaded Ainota silently."

"Is it Mrs. Franke?" Mo Ni subconsciously asked.

Bai De just smiled, stretched out his hands, let out a sigh of relief, rubbed them lightly, squinted his eyes and said, "It's really cold."

"It's going to be cold for a while."

Bird stopped talking, just closed his eyes and shrank his neck into the scarf.

Mo Ni hurriedly pushed the wheelchair away from the tower, sent Bai De back to the temporary residence after the war, and lit the fireplace. She heard Bai De say a word behind her: "If the princess insists on punishing the Second Highness in the future, you Let your highness persuade me."

"grown ups?"

Bird waved his hand and signaled Mo Ni to go out. Mo Ni frowned for a moment, then turned and retreated outside the door.

Bird is old after all, and the old injuries he suffered when he was young have left him with many old troubles. Whenever it is cold and rainy, he will feel a dull pain.In the past six months, he has made rapid progress. For the 79-year-old, there is no day that he will stop burning his few remaining candles.

Half a month ago, he fell from his horse during the march, and when he woke up, he could no longer stand up on his legs.

He should have rested a long time ago, but the country does not give up his remaining value, so he has never served so far, and he has never really let go of the heavy armor that has been worn in his heart all his life.Everyone could see that his body could no longer hold on, but he still managed to hold on until now.

After that night, Bird never left that room, leaving only a line of wishes on the table that will never be known to the world.

——I have done my best in this life, and I hope that after leaving, the Far Eastern Army will always be loyal to Ainota, not hatred.

The death of the old commander did not lower the morale of the Far Eastern Army. On the contrary, the fire in the hearts of the Far Eastern soldiers was even more intense.They made an oath in front of Changsheng, swore to be loyal to her to the death, attacked Talan, and brought Lurek and Tafil to justice, so as to fulfill the old commander's wish during his lifetime.

Seeing that the Far Eastern Army was about to hit Taran, the battle in the imperial capital was in a hurry, and Mingluo had no reason to continue to hold back the Guards. Under Tafil's persuasion, Lurek finally made up his mind to withdraw the Guards from the southwest.

Tafil said that Mingluo is not stupid, and he is no longer a lamb to be slaughtered. Now the country is facing internal and external troubles. In the Southwest War, the new king of Knossus, Nicole, and his sister personally led the army to the front line. , They invaded the southwest with the power of the whole country, and they were confident that they would win. Mingluo was in the fortress of Xili and he must bear the brunt of it. If he was hesitant to die, he would choose to stand by and keep his strength. It is absolutely impossible to lend a helping hand to Changsheng.So for the southwest, there is no need to be distracted.

Princess Aeglorin of the Demon Race had already brought the keel that was offered by the blood of the Demon Race to Talan, just waiting for an opportunity to come.

When Jiang Zheng, who has the power of the phoenix, is no longer able to maintain the seal in his body, Changsheng has to put aside his gains and losses to attack Talan with all his strength. At that time, as long as the blood sacrifice is used to break the seal of the cloud tower, the keels echo each other, not only can he regain The keel in Jiang Zheng's body can break through the Wodo seal even more.

At that time, the black dragon's consciousness returned to heaven and earth, and no one could stop it.

Therefore, when the Far Eastern Army approached the city and Lurek saw the sister who had forced him into prison again, he truly understood what Tafil had said - in the next battle of Talan City, whose blood will become a sacrifice , Demon God doesn't care.

Since the last Te Chuan incident, Tafeile has no longer been trusted by the demon god, and Tafeile also knows himself. After recovering from his injuries, he will no longer do anything, and will only spend his days leisurely in his own mansion.Lurek didn't dare to say a good word for him, for fear of offending the Demon God for him, so he could only go to him to discuss it when he was at a loss, and every time he woke him up with a word, his trust would increase.

At the beginning, Lurek thought that Tafil was a rough man who grew up in the military camp and knew nothing but leading soldiers and fighting. Later, he gradually realized that this second brother from the same mother had been disfavored since childhood, and had long been I'm used to forbearance, I don't talk about many things, but I see them more thoroughly than anyone else, and I do it decisively.He even thought that Tafil and himself were nothing more than a fellow, and everything he did was for fame and fortune, but now the more he tried to get closer, the more he found that his second brother was definitely not for these things.

He asked Tafeile why he joined the Demon Race. Tafeile was silent for a long time, and laughed at himself: "I don't want to die."

Some kneel for power, some kneel just to live.

He used to think that his identity was the value of his chess piece. Later, it was Tafil who made him understand that chess pieces without strength can be thrown away at will. Status and status have always been recognized by others before they can be superior. into something muddy.If he loses, the Demon God is nothing more than changing another pawn. This is the inherent indifference and cruelty of the Demon, and it is also a test of the value of the people he uses.

Nowadays, those who are for power are the same as those who are for living, step by step to the boundary of life and death, and are forced to be tied together, it is ironic to think about it.

Lurek also thought about going against the black dragon to protect Ainota, but now he has thought it through thoroughly. He has no ability to fight against the black dragon. If he hinders the black dragon's plan, the black dragon must be the first to kill him. Now he still wants to keep himself, okay? The power that is easy to obtain can only be fought with everything. As long as Tafil's judgment is correct, he will definitely be able to guard Talan under this blood sacrifice.When the demon god is resurrected, he will be a great hero. Isn't it not easy to protect Ainota's safety?

It's just that he doesn't know that everything he firmly believes in has already fallen into the schemes of others.

……

In the imperial calendar, at the beginning of 779, the winter snow had not disappeared, and the Far East rebel army approached the city of Talan.

The protector of the country, Ron Bernard, summoned the power of the country's grand masters, mobilized the leylines of the cloud tower and the power of the sky, and opened the huge guardian array that the ancestors had planted at the place where the city was built.

This enchantment was opened for the first time in hundreds of years, and the entire Talan was shrouded in it. Everyone could see the power of the five elements covering the sky when they looked up. It seemed like a barrier, but it was more like a cage, which made people say no. It's a bit depressing to go out.

Now the Far Eastern Army has formed a semi-encirclement situation with Ta Lan, but it missed its pace because of this magic circle.

"How to break it?" Changsheng stood on the tower, looked at the enchantment outside Talan City, turned to look at Lagi, "Can you break through?"

"With my strength, even with the Black Flame Stone, I can't get rid of it, so I can only wait." Lagi said, "This is a large magic circle that was forcibly activated by manpower. Without the blessing of spiritual weapons, it will consume a lot of energy. It can last for a month at most. , the effect of the magic circle will be greatly reduced. Before that, it is absolutely impossible to break through it. I have seen this formation in the book, and its power is only inferior to the absolutely complete four-hour rotation. If you break through it, the loss will be extremely heavy."

"Are you trying to delay time?" Chang Sheng couldn't help frowning.

Jiang Zheng's body is getting worse day by day, and now she is approaching a sealed place, there must be a sense between the dragon bones, the longer it drags on, the greater the possibility that the black dragon consciousness will break out of her body, when the time comes, come again Jiang Zheng didn't know if he could survive a blood sacrifice...

"I know my physical condition best. If you can't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." Jiang Zheng said, took a few steps forward, touched the back of his hand lightly, shook his head, and said with a faint smile: "Besides, Southwest has not yet Let’s make a statement, if they don’t lend a helping hand, our odds of winning are too low.”

"Perhaps, given the current situation in Southwest China, it is best for Mingluo to stand by and watch." Chang Sheng said, and couldn't help lowering his head.

She is determined to put all her eggs in one basket, and she is more or less familiar with the situation in the southwest, so she can understand Mingluo's difficulties. If Mingluo insists on coming to support, it will indeed improve her chances of winning, and it is very likely He will include himself, and even the entire southwest border.

"Changsheng, you have always valued feelings. I know that Mingluo is more important to you than winning or losing. It's just that sometimes, the more you are afraid of getting involved, the easier it is for yourself and him to be hurt. You care about Mingluo, Mingluo Why don't you care about you? Let him stand by, how is the pain different to him from sacrificing Baozi that day? If you lose, leave him alone to face everything, and when the black dragon locks his eyes on him in the future, he will How should I face myself?" Jiang Zheng said that, and Chang Sheng would understand the omitted word "life experience" needless to say.

"I ignored it..." Chang Sheng couldn't help feeling powerless.In Eggert back then, if she hadn't been unwilling to involve Mingluo in it, maybe neither Baozi nor Blind would have sacrificed... But now, after so long, she will still be drawn by her own selfishness, and she cannot restrain it deep in her heart. I am deeply afraid that the scenes that happened in the previous life will reappear cruelly one after another.

However, she really ignored that if Mingluo was a human child, he might be able to protect himself, but he was a dragon and didn't know it. If the black dragon really came back to life in the future, the fire of hatred would sweep the entire Er and the mainland.At that time, the dragon clan will once again be deeply hated by the world, and the black dragon will never allow its descendants to be enemies with itself. With the black dragon's cruelty, it is impossible to hide such a secret. Whether Luo himself cares or not, other people's eyes will definitely hurt him completely.

It seems that this time, she is not the only one who has to put all her eggs in one basket. Everyone who is destined to be involved has to act like a gambler, take out the biggest bargaining chips, and fight with all their strength. No one can back down.Utilization, sacrifice, and trade-offs are often what people have to do as a last resort.

It's just...the war in the southwest is so tense, can Mingluo really bring reinforcements in time?

"After the guards were transferred from the southwest, Mo Ni sent several letters for help to the southwest, but there was no reply. Maybe...he couldn't handle the war with Knossus well." Frange said, watching Glancing at Mo Ni, he continued: "Now the main force of Ainota is divided into three, and Knossus is determined to take advantage of the fire to loot it. It is not easy for the Southwest Army to hold on to the Fortress of Xili for so long. If we still have to draw troops to support us...it is really too much." too difficult."

Mo Ni said firmly: "I believe His Highness Mingluo must have a solution!"

"If the stalemate continues, how long can the logistics last?" Chang Sheng asked.

"It can last until the beginning of spring at the longest." Franke said.

Chang Sheng closed his eyes, and said firmly: "When the spring begins, no matter whether the reinforcements can arrive or not, this battle must start."

***

Southwest, Mokodo.

The war in the distance has lasted for more than half a year, and the guards who had been stationed in the fortress of Xili for a long time were also transferred back to Taran more than a month ago, together with the day when the news of Bird's death came. Half encircled, we had to do our best to protect ourselves, and there was no spare power to block the communication between the southwest and the outside.

Soon, letters asking for help came from afar. At the same time, there were also threats and persuasion from Lurek.

"The rebel army needs support." Mingluo clenched his fists and said, "This war cannot be delayed like this."

The world only knows that Ainota has two strongholds, Kowat and Xili, which are located on the border of the Far East and Southwest. They have been indestructible for hundreds of years, making it difficult for demons and enemy countries to invade.But inhumane, the fortifications of the imperial capital Talan are not inferior to the two major fortresses, and they have gathered the power of natural earth veins to build a tower into the cloud and a formation of five elements. Once activated, it can resist thousands of troops.

Such a Taran is defended by the guards. No matter how strong the Far East Army is, it may not be easy to take it down.

Linley said: "Talan is difficult to attack by force. The Far Eastern Army must temporarily surround Talan and wait for an opportunity. However, it is difficult to supply supplies in winter, and the transportation road after spring is even more difficult. Behind Talan is what is called the country's granary. Wapton, on the other hand, has no such worries. Long-term delays will be extremely detrimental to the Far East Army. At most, it will last until the beginning of spring in half a month at most. Her Royal Highness can only choose to retreat to various places with scattered troops to reduce consumption and start a long-term relationship with Taran. In a stalemate, or regardless of sacrifice, a fight to the death under Talan City... If there is no third-party force to join, the winning rate is extremely low."

"Sister will definitely choose the latter, if it is true what she said in the letter, the black dragon is about to be resurrected, time must be running out, she must not be able to wait." Ming Luo frowned, gritted his teeth and said: "I am the only one who will help her. "

"Kanossus is determined to take advantage of the fire, and we have no soldiers to send."

"If we can make peace with Knossus..."

"They are well aware of the civil war in our country, and they will never give up this opportunity to take advantage of the fire to negotiate peace? What capital do we have to negotiate peace, and what chips do we use as a bet? If it were you, you would be begging because the enemy is in deep trouble And do you show mercy?"

"Even if you fail, you must support the rebel army!"

"If the peace talks fail, if you want to divide your troops to support the rebel army, you will most likely lose Siri. If Knossus insists on pursuing, everything will be over!" Linley gritted his teeth, "Your Highness, as long as you don't participate in this matter, Southwest It's safe, no matter who wins or loses in the end, you won't be blamed. Lurek has lost the hearts of the people, even if the rebel army fails, someone else will stand up again. For us, it's not a bad thing. If we keep the green hills, we are not afraid of running out of firewood. Now we are in a dilemma, and the only way out is to preserve our own strength..."

"I know the plans of the demons and the secret of the black dragon."

"Why do they believe your one-sided words? Your Highness, why are you so naive!"

"It's not naive, why don't you still ignore the bleeding of your relatives, the collapse of your family and country, and then take care of yourself?" Mingluo said, and couldn't help smiling, "Linley, you have a long-term vision and foresight. I am not as good as you. All I know is that I will never Forgive yourself for doing anything against your will, and Mo Ni is also there, she must have expectations of me..."

Linley suddenly didn't know what to say. Although the boy in front of him was still young, he already had the will and ability to make decisions on his own.

"Raise the truce flag!" Mingluo firmly interrupted Linley, saying, "I'll go, I'll go alone."

Linley was stunned: "What...what?"

"I said, raise the truce flag and open the city gates. I will go alone to negotiate peace with them." In this way, in the eyes of the people of Knossus, will life be a little more credible?

"Are you crazy? What is your identity? You are not afraid of being a prisoner, are you not afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid! But as long as I think that no matter how much power I hold in my hands, I will no longer be able to protect the person I want to protect, and I won't be so afraid!" Mingluo said, turned and walked down the tower, with such a firm back, Even if he went deep into the dragon's lake and tiger's lair, he didn't hesitate at all.

"Obviously you can protect yourself, but you still want to be alone, and repay the greatest sincerity to profit from wolves, tigers and leopards. Are you a fool?" Linley couldn't help laughing at himself as he spoke.After all, His Royal Highness is a member of the royal family, and he has never betrayed his heart and forgotten his responsibilities for a single moment... And he, who always seeks perfection, is really inferior to a young child in some respects.

Linley clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said to the soldiers on duty who were confused and frightened, "Let's hang up the battle and open the city gate."

"My lord, His Highness is still young, so you just let His Highness mess around?"

"Otherwise? Do you want me to disobey?" Linley said, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, and said: "The troubled times are about to start, and those who have power in their hands should stick to a city to protect a peaceful land, or should they Isn't it a personal choice to take a gamble and save more people who are in deep water and fire?"

The soldiers in the southwest will never forget that day. After the seventeen-year-old Highness raised the white flag on the tower, he rode alone to the newly built fortress of Knossus in the distance.He was alone, under the towering city tower, calmly facing the countless crossbows on the tower.

Nicole knew that the southwestern commander who blocked his army was the youngest young Highness of Ainota, and he had seen him take the lead in the battlefield from afar, and knew that he was very courageous and skillful at such a young age.Now when he suddenly heard the white flag of armistice raised by the enemy, the young Southwestern commander came to the city alone again, saying that he had something important to meet, Nicole was surprised and hurried to the tower, and saw the man who was almost ten years younger than himself. The enemy prince stood alone at the bottom of the city, holding a horse in his hand, looking up at him in the cold wind and snow. He was not wearing a battle armor or holding a weapon, but his eyes were neither humble nor overbearing, and he couldn't help but feel more interested.

Nora followed closely behind. The first time she saw the white flag hanging high above the Xili Fortress in the distance, she subconsciously asked, "Is he here to surrender?"

"His eyes tell me that he won't." Nicole said, "Ainota is currently in a civil war. I heard that the person who started the civil war was the third princess Changsheng who was born of the same mother as him. It seems that the civil war is over. When it comes to the moment of victory or defeat, he is anxious to show his position, so let's help."

"We are about to take what Lurek promised us earlier, so why is there another one who wants to do nothing?" Nora said, looking at the people in the city curiously: "Sirie The fortress has been unable to attack for a long time, because of such a guy?"

Nicole took two steps forward and shouted, "Isn't this His Royal Highness of Anota? What is this show?"

"If you want to ask for something, you have to lower your profile." Mingluo responded loudly, "This matter is not only related to the ownership of the Southwest, but also related to the future of your country."

"The future of my Knossus can still have something to do with you, the enemy prince? Do you know that standing here and joking is fatal."

"If you give an order, I will die here, how dare you tell half a lie?" Ming Luo didn't flinch in the slightest.

Nicole suddenly smiled, and waved his hand, "Let him in."

"Brother?" Nora couldn't help wondering.

"Don't you think it's funny that he dared to come here alone?" Nicole said, laughing twice, leaning his hands on the city wall, and shouted at Mingluo: "I've always been very curious. I will open it once for you today, but once you enter the city, your life is out of your hands, have you thought it through?"

"If you think about it, I won't come here alone." Ming Luo murmured in a low voice, as if persuading himself to make the final decision.He took a deep breath, and walked firmly towards the city gate that was open to him alone.

Nora leaned on the city wall and looked down, watching Mingluo enter the city gate intently, turned to face Nicole, put her hands behind her back, and said: "This guy who has given us headaches for so long is quite good-looking, if brother If you are not satisfied with the bargaining chips he brought, why don't you leave it to me?"

"Have you seen too many good-looking men?"

"This one is different, I quite like it." Nora said, smiling with her eyebrows bent, and turned around as if she was about to run down the tower.

Nicole grabbed her arm, frowned and said, "What is his identity? What are you blindly interested in!"

"We can all cooperate with Lurek, why can't we choose his younger brother?" Nora said, pulling her brother, and said: "Go on, go down, do you want to talk to him here? "

Nichol was helpless for a while, and was dragged down the tower by Nora, and met Mingluo standing by the city gate. After looking up and down for a while, Nora elbowed his back twice, and couldn't help but Seriously said: "Please."

After all, he turned around and led the way.

……

Ming Luo entered the city of Knossus for two days, and Linley stood on the tower and watched for two days. He used to think that Knossus built the city so close to the Xili Fortress was too arrogant, but now I feel that it is clearly within reach, but it is so remote and far away that it makes people anxious.

In the past two days, people always asked him similar questions: "Your Highness is not in danger, is he?"

Every time he firmly replied: "No, he is just a little fox, if he dares to go alone, he must be sure to protect himself."

That being said, Linley still couldn't help thinking, if the people from Knossus really wanted to kill His Highness, and he couldn't even provide support, then what would he do, and what would Southwest do?

He knew better than anyone else that Ming Luo was gambling.

After many battles, Mingluo has a certain understanding of Nicole's behavior and style, and based on this, he makes a guess about Nicole's temperament.Although Nicole provoked a war of taking advantage of the fire against Ainota, he was by no means a person who liked to take advantage of others.Therefore, he bet that Nicole would not do anything to him who was alone and unarmed. He bet that when he put his life and death in Nicole's hands, he would gain more trust.

Ming Luo knew that the bargaining chip in his hand was a secret that would affect the whole of El and the mainland, but it was too ridiculous to say this secret, and very few people were willing to believe it, so he desperately needed this trust that he had to earn his life to gain.

What he bet on his life is actually not too much, just a short truce, so that he can help Changsheng end the civil war and prevent the plan of the black dragon's resurrection. After that, the threat of the black dragon is no longer, and Ainota has experienced the civil strife. Knossus would not lose anything if he fought against the Southwest at that time. On the contrary, with the help of Ainota, he ended the endless troubles of the resurrection of the demon god.

But, can he really convince Nicole?

The longer time passed, the more confused Linley became.

Until the evening of the third day, that familiar figure finally returned from afar, and at the same time, a white flag of truce was raised on the temporary fortress of Knossas in the distance.

Linley rushed down the tower to welcome him, his eyes were full of joy, he didn't know how to express his excitement, he just patted Mingluo's shoulders hard, but he could faintly feel a slight strangeness in Mingluo's eyes, waiting for him to go When asked clearly, Ming Luo had already turned and walked away.

The author has something to say: Arrangements are made.
