Apocalypse Magician

In the square in the center of Xingxue City, all the city defense troops have gathered, but there is no sign of strict military discipline. The formation is messy and swaying, everyone has their heads lowered, lamentations can be heard endlessly, and their empty eyes are full of despair.

"Everyone, look around, what can you see?" Li Xingkong walked up to everyone, the Emperor's Divine Sword was heavily inserted into the soil, his face was dull and there was no expression.

Everyone looked up and looked around. Xingxue City was still the same as before, or in other words, it was more beautiful than before because of the cherry blossoms in bloom.

The wind and rain in late spring carry the flying petals, dancing and spinning in front of your eyes, bringing a vague fragrance of flowers, just like a little bit of sadness in the fairy tale world.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone lowered their heads again. It was still completely dead-like silence. No one answered Li Xingkong's question. However, in those desperate eyes, there seemed to be a hint of complex emotions, such as regret, nostalgia, or nostalgia. Or unwilling...

"This is the land we live in, and the home we need to protect. Whether you were born in Star Snow City or come from other places, can you easily give up every bit of your memory? Once upon a time, the laughter that echoed in your ears , and are you willing to let everything disappear under the iron heel of the Master Alliance?"

Li Xingkong keenly captured the subtle changes in everyone's emotions.

"Even if some of you want to leave, you may be able to successfully escape from Xingxue City because of your youth and strength, but how can your parents, children, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, fellow villagers, old, young, women and children escape? Those who once lived around you How can people bear to watch them fall into the tiger's mouth?"

After Li Xingkong's words fell, the audience fell silent again. Various life scenes appeared in front of many people's eyes:

When I was a child, I would play with my friends next door, jumping up and down happily, or pulling each other's hair while fighting. A few months ago, when the New Year came, the whole family gathered together, looking forward to the moment of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and having fun. ; A few days ago, friends reunited, drinking happily in ordinary wine shops, each telling their life experiences and expressing their emotions; there were also gossips about Zhang's parents and Li's family in ordinary alleys, and bargaining during grocery shopping...

Bits and pieces of the ups and downs in life, happy and unhappy things, people you know and don't know, all appear before your eyes, forming an ordinary but unique picture for everyone, and then the army of the leading alliance roars. Then, all the good things were shattered and turned into phantoms of nothingness, just like the falling cherry blossoms. I wanted to reach out and grab them, but they lightly passed through my fingertips and fell into the dust.

"Perhaps you think that Xingxue City has been abandoned by the church, and that we cannot resist the Alliance of Leaders with our strength. However, if we flee without fighting at this moment, we have abandoned ourselves, the land where we live, and Those things and people that constitute the memory of our lives." Li Xingkong raised the Emperor's Divine Sword high and pointed it straight at the sky. He instantly felt the heroic spirit of asking the world who is the hero with the sword in his hand, "If any of you want to leave, I will immediately open the other side. The city gate will never be blocked. However, I, Li Xingkong, as the Lord of Xingxue City, swear to live and die with this city. Even if the battle is down to every soldier and I have my last breath, I will never retreat! Because this is the place in my heart. The destination, the final destination of the soul, the place of the spirit!”

Li Xingkong's words echoed over the city square for a long time. Everyone slowly raised their lowered heads, and their despairing and blank eyes gradually became hot. Anger and tragedy filled the air quietly, as if there was something more important than life, worth it. He would sacrifice his life to protect it, and he would not hesitate to pour the blood of the whole city.

Time passed by, and Li Xingkong's palms were soaked with sweat, as if he had gone through centuries. This period of time is the most dangerous moment. If the building is about to collapse and someone becomes a deserter and leaves, even just one person will appear immediately. The second, third, and then got out of hand, and all efforts were in vain.

It wasn't until the crowd became excited and the city defense army rekindled their fighting spirit that Li Xingkong relaxed his tense nerves slightly. At this time, the cannon fodder troops of the Grand Alliance had arrived at the city square.

"And you who are fighting for the Grand Alliance, have you ever thought about who caused the destruction of your country and your family, who is your real enemy, and who made you become what you are now? Even if you are lucky enough to survive in the Grand Alliance On the day when we conquer the mainland, who can guarantee that they will really be able to let you live? Also, I don’t know how many of you are compatriots in the Sunset Empire. We are killing each other here, but the alliance of leaders is reaping the benefits and attacking the city. Land grabbing, is this the ending you want?"

The situation of the city defense army was determined. Li Xingkong felt a little relieved. He waved his long sword and pointed it at the cannon fodder troops.

"I don't care what you have done in the past. At this moment, if you insist on making things difficult for Xingxue City, I, the city lord, and the Xingxue City defense army will be with you at any time. Likewise, if anyone wants to use this to escape from this place of right and wrong, I, the city lord, will Open the city gate on the other side and never stop it. Of course, as long as you are a bloody man of the Sunset Empire, you should fight to the death with the Grand Alliance in the last city of the empire. Even if you die on the battlefield, you must fight for your hometown and let the emperor The Queen of Heaven and Earth together bear witness to our immortal will!"
