Lord of War

23. Family

In the wilderness, a carriage was rumbling and running wildly.

The one pulling the cart was not an ordinary horse, but a ground dragon that had mutated twice.

If an uninformed person sees this carriage, their first reaction must be to think that the people in this carriage are definitely running for their lives. Because although this carriage looks quite large, it is obviously specially modified and custom-made, but nearly a quarter of the second half has been completely cut off, exposing the interior of the carriage, of course the most important The only thing is that this carriage is running too fast.

This carriage is naturally Sean and the others.

This time, Sean had no intention of hiding his tracks at all. Although he really couldn't command Blackstone at first, he could at least ask Cecilia to help. Performed to the fullest. So in the end, through the situation of "knowing it with reason", Heishi finally recognized the degree of danger of Reina, so this running is naturally going all out.

In addition, as one of the creatures with the strongest stamina, the ground dragon is nothing to Blackstone after running continuously for a day and night, so now Xiao En and others have officially entered the vanilla plain. The original two-day itinerary took Sean only one day plus half a night to complete. The next problem was how to find the hidden Snow Wind Guard on this vast prairie.

The Vanilla Plain is a grassland located in the northeast of the Northern Wind Territory. This territory has been directly under the territory of the Lane royal family since the founding of the Lane nation. It is one of the most resource-rich territories occupied by the Lane royal family. Of course, in the property output of the entire territory, Vanilla Plain can barely squeeze into the top five, because it is rich in a special medicinal material called "Vanilla", which is a special material for various alchemy potions, and this This alchemy potion is also a major trade item of the Principality of Ryan.

The vanilla plain got its name from this.

Originally, anyone who wanted to enter and leave the North Wind Territory would definitely encounter a certain degree of scrutiny. Especially on the vanilla plain, there is a troop of the Principality of Ryan stationed for a long time. But this time, it coincided with the national celebration of the principality's promotion, and a large number of people poured into Beifeng Territory. The law and order situation in Fengling deteriorated by 30% in an instant.

It's just that in this case, the Ryan royal family simply turned a blind eye. As a result, many people would rather deliberately take a detour. They would also not choose to pass through the North Wind Collar. Anyone who dares to go straight through the North Wind Collar today is either strong enough, or has an amazing background, or is simply in groups or protected by guards. Even adventurers and mercenary groups would not choose to pass through the North Wind Territory if they were not strong enough or if they were with other people.

After all, the current North Wind Territory is too dangerous.

But this time.

Xiao En and the others drove straight to the Vanilla Plain overnight, but they didn't encounter any bandits blocking the road at all. Originally, Sean was even ready to use thunder to kill people, but he didn't expect that there were no horse thieves and bandits who dared to make trouble. Although Xiao En was a little puzzled, he was still very happy in his heart. The crushing massacre with ups and downs is a waste of time after all.

It's just after entering the vanilla plain. Everyone was a little at a loss.

The Xuefeng Guards are the strongest troops of the Xuefeng Tribe, and they are at the same level as the Sword Dancer Guards of the Broken Wind Tribe. These two troops are not the attributes of the army. Strictly speaking, they should be more like mercenary regiments. Therefore, in terms of scale, compared to the army with thousands of people at every turn, the number of these two troops is naturally very small. Xiao En guessed that there were only about 20 to 30 people.

Although the scale is small, its strength is absolutely beyond doubt.

Like the subordinates brought out by the sword dancer leader who fought against Xiao En that day. They must all be members of the Sword Dancer Guard, and those people are all gold-level strengths. It's just that for a third-class tribe, the number of gold-level powerhouses cannot be too many, so even though the Xuefeng Guards can be as famous as the Sword Dancer Guards, Xiao En feels that this army lurking on the Vanilla Plain The Xuefeng Guards can have five to seven people, and if the team is led by a strong gold player, it is already regarded as attaching great importance to Sa Luoqi.

After all, these two forces are generally only put into use in some relatively important local small-scale battles. At other times, it is basically used to be responsible for the safety of the members of the elders in the tribe. No matter how important the princess Saluoqi Xuefeng is to the entire tribe, and can even directly affect the survival of the Xuefeng tribe, Xiao En still doesn't think that many people will come.

Of course, he didn't ask Sa Luoqi either. Take this as a little surprise.

After running around for a day and a night, Sean finally stopped Heishi from continuing to run. Although Dixinglong's stamina is excellent, if he really rushes on like this, if there is any accident at that time, Black Stone will not be able to participate in the battle. This is definitely not good news for Sean. Moreover, there was only the last day left before the three-day deadline, and Sean didn't want to fail the mission due to slack at this last moment.

After all, at this time, Sean's mission panel did not show that the mission was successful.

It's just that every time Sean sees the words "escort the target to the designated location" on the mission request, Sean always feels very weird. Because when Sean stepped into the vanilla plain, Sean had already asked Saluoqi repeatedly, but Saluoqi said that he did not know the specific location, and only knew that the meeting point agreed before was in the southeast of the vanilla plain. an area around.

When he stopped to rest, Heishi was very reluctant at first, but after Sean took out a large amount of meat from the space storage ring, he still managed to attract Heishi's attention, and he reluctantly agreed to stop and rest, but in terms of meat. I was exploited a lot by Marshmallow. And when Saluoqi saw Xiao En take out a large amount of food from the space storage ring, his eyes were even brighter.

However, Sean was a little accustomed to this kind of reaction.

In the game, many people would show such expressions when they saw the player's backpack. After all, space storage devices are too rare for us. Sean even remembered that there was a player who made a fortune because of this: that player sold his firstborn backpack directly to a nobleman in exchange for a lot of money, and then he used the money to succeed Leaving most players far behind, he successfully won multiple first kill records.

This player is none other than his president called Sly Fox.

Thinking of the president, Sean couldn't help but look up at the starry sky.

The night sky is as clear as clear water. It's not that common even in games. Although compared to the era of the Earth Federation, the starry sky in the game is already miraculously beautiful, but Xiao En still feels that it is not as good as the real night sky in front of him.

Here, he could see the twinkling stars, and the bright yellow full moon missing only a tiny corner.

This is Sean's first night watch.

But for some reason, Xiao En only felt that the original depression and troubles in his heart disappeared completely in an instant, and suddenly he felt a sense of grandeur like the sea and the sky. He suddenly understood something. Why do those big figures always like to stand on a high place overlooking the whole land, especially his original president.

Sean admires this president known as the cunning fox very much, because there are indeed few people who can do what he does: even his competitors have to admit that his president is indeed a very worthy leader. Dear opponent. However, it was precisely because of this that in the end all the enemies of the president joined forces. This also triggered the subsequent burning of Utopia. During that period of hardship, Wings of the Void almost disbanded.

But also because of this, Xiao En had the honor to have a candlelight talk with his president.

From the beginning to the end, he still remembers the last sentence that was said in a deep voice from the back that was enough to make more than 90% of the players in the game look up to.

"The flag of the void will never fall. Even if I fall, the fire of the void will still be passed on, and then be ignited again. It will illuminate the sky."

Sean clenched his fists, and said in a whisper but extremely firm tone: "I will definitely ignite the fire of the void in this world, and let it illuminate the sky. I will definitely rebuild Utopia, let him Become the most powerful territory in the Southern Continent and even the entire Miracle Continent, and let the whole world remember the name Void Wings!"

Sean's faith has never been abandoned by him.

A strip of jerky suddenly protruded from the side. in front of Sean.

Sean froze for a moment, turned his head and saw that it was Cecily walking over and handing him the jerky in his hand. Seeing Sean's astonished expression, Cecilia smiled slightly. Her smile was quiet and sweet, with a strong affinity, which had nothing to do with her beauty. It was due to her unique temperament.

Phoenix, as the spirit of beasts, the strongest holy beast before the twilight era, what they possess is not just awe-inspiring and powerful aura. Before the phoenix is ​​not angry. The aura they exude is very friendly. Even in the game, the phoenix is ​​one of the few beast-level creatures that never actively attack the player. Even if you live in front of its lair, it will not attack you.

"Thank you." Sean reached out to take the jerky, and thanked him with a chuckle.

"Do you and I still need to be polite?" Cecilia brushed the hair hanging down her left cheek, smiling still, and then sat down beside Sean, "I think it's okay if it's you."

"What can it be?" Sean was a little puzzled.

"Let the whole world remember the name of Void Wings!" Cecilia restrained the smile on her face, and said seriously.

"Have you heard it all?" Sean was taken aback for a moment. He didn't know why, but when Cecilia said this, he became a little shy, and his face turned slightly red.

"Although I don't know your past, and I don't know what you want to do, but don't say that you want to rebuild Utopia and restore your family, even if you want to be an enemy of the whole world, I will definitely stand by you This side." Cecilia nodded, indicating that she did hear what Sean said just now, but it was obvious that she misunderstood Sean's meaning.

Emptiness has always been synonymous with confusion and loss.

Especially for magicians, the void will not mean anything good. Especially in the void, there are many tyrannical creatures that even the top human beings dare not easily provoke. If these creatures enter the material world, it will be a disaster for the main plane. Therefore, as Sean said, "to ignite the fire of the void", it can be treated as heretics.

And the pagans, just look at what happens when demons and demons appear. This is basically the street mouse of the whole world, where they go and get beaten.

So in some respects, Cecilia's so-called "enemy against the whole world" is not wrong.

"I think you may have misunderstood." Sean laughed out loud, reaching out to pat Cecilia's head, "The Void Spark I'm talking about doesn't refer to the Void in the professional terminology of your mages. It’s my family’s banner and beliefs... So, I don’t need to be enemies of people all over the world, but it’s possible that I need to be enemies of two or three extremely powerful behemoths.”

"Huge monster, how huge is it?" When Sean said that he had misunderstood, Cecilia's rare face turned slightly red. She lowered her head shyly, but her charisma naturally increased even more so that even Xiao En lost his mind for a moment. But soon, she adjusted her mentality and asked again, so that she missed the moment when Xiao En lost his mind just now: "Is it as powerful as the empire?"

"Well, it's a behemoth like the Seven Great Empires." Sean nodded. "If I want to rebuild Utopia, I have to avoid the Millennium Covenant Empire, and it may even involve many other troubles."

When Utopia was first established, Sean was not actually there, but he knew the difficulty of that task. At that time, the elite group led by his president was dispatched, and it took more than three months to finally complete this task. task, thereby gaining control of Utopia. Of course, the part of negotiating with the Millennium Covenant Empire halfway is the responsibility of the acting president of the guild. So Sean really doesn't know the overall situation, but now Sean knows that he wants to reach an agreement with the Millennium Covenant Empire through diplomatic means, which may be a bit difficult, of course, it is only a little difficult.

If it doesn't work. It's just a fight.

But if war can be avoided, Sean still hopes to avoid it.

"The Millennium Covenant Empire is indeed...very tricky." Cecilia pondered for a moment before answering. Because even she really has nothing to do.

After all, this is an empire.

But soon, Cecilia came back to her senses: "In this case, there is only one Millennium Covenant Empire. Why do you say two or three?"

"Because there is still the St. Joles Empire." Sean smiled. "Maybe the Maggie Empire might even get involved. So, do you think there are two or three?"

"Why St. Joles..."

Cecilia just uttered the words, and then stopped, because she already knew that there was no need to ask the next words, the answer was in her heart. This answer made her very moved and happy, but instinctively, she didn't want Sean to do this at all, because the geographical environment of the Duchy of Renbeier destined this country to choose to rely on one of the two empires. On one side, it is probably impossible to restore complete independence as before.

Of course, Cecilia knows better that with Sean's character and attitude, he will never lean towards either of the two empires, so the final situation may evolve into a confrontation between the two empires. Team up to attack.

"unnecessary……"

"Why isn't it necessary?" Sean stretched out his arms and gently hugged Cecilia, "You are my family."

When Cecilia heard the word "family", Cecilia's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon she closed her eyes and leaned closer to Sean's arms. She really likes the term "family", but it's not the kind of "family" Sean mentioned, but "family" in another sense. Just looking at Sean's appearance, Cecilia knew that there was no need for an idiot like Sean to understand. For Cecilia, as long as she could be by Sean's side like this, that was enough.

A tear flowed from the corner of Cecilia's left eye.

But not far away, Sa Luoqi Xuefeng looked at these two people with some doubts in his eyes.

Although Sean introduced Cecilia to her as his younger sister, Saluoqi always felt that the two were not alike at all, especially Cecilia's attitude towards Sean was not like a younger sister's reaction at all. . But even though she wanted to ask a question, she still held back her curiosity in the end, because she was obviously accustomed to the indifference on Serfanio's face, so some questions were not suitable for her to ask.

On this night, there were no assassinations, no plots, and no battles.

Everything was so peaceful that it felt unbelievably beautiful.

When they woke up the next day, everyone felt extremely refreshed. However, Xiao En also knows that today will be the final highlight of this time-limited mission, because he must arrive at the meeting point required by the mission before night falls, otherwise this mission will be regarded as a failure, even if Saluoqi. It is meaningless that Princess Xuefeng is still alive.

What's more, no one would hope that Princess Saluoqi Xuefeng would survive.

And this person has also appeared in front of Sean and the others. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
