The Godsfall Chronicles Chapter 66: There is no winner
This once majestic and strong great fortress is now mostly collapsed, and it is even more devastated. The most striking thing is undoubtedly a huge mountain-like meteorite that fell from the sky on the periphery of the fortress, instantly causing a huge and almost irreparable ugly Giant pit.
A meteorite that is too large and heavy to be dragged away by humans, and will eventually be left here forever.
Thousands of years later, Sanctuary no longer exists, but this stone is still looked up to by later generations, because the horizontal appearance of the boulder is considered to be the official opening of a legend by later generations, and all this is in the midst of historical events. Unforeseen people.
It's getting dark.
The battle finally ended completely.
The corps commander of Expeditionary Army regiment Drake Corps, Hammont Seacrest, is picking up the number of his own headquarters. Although the war lasted only half a day, the casualties were extremely alarming. There were countless young people with beliefs and dreams who had just been recruited to join the regiment. Within a few days, he was thrown into the arms of death in this cruel battle.
I'm really unwilling!
Why is this happening?
Hammont Seacrest just got the worst news.
The pursuit force led by Expeditionary Army Commander Frost de Winter failed to clear the main force of the defeated Wilderness army, which means that this war is not over. These brutal and unscrupulous Wilderness people will come back sooner or later. This matter For Hammont Seacrest, it has to be said to be a big blow.
At this moment a small soldier came over, "General!"
Hammont Seacrest frowned: "What's the matter?"
"I'm really sorry to disturb you so late, the fifth squadron captain wants to see you...he, he is very injured!"
Hammont Seacrest was slightly startled when he heard the words. He remembered the captain because Hammont Seacrest personally selected and recruited into the Zhan Long Corps. This is a guy with very good potential. On the battlefield today, it is said that he was very brave and led More than one hundred people in his team blocked a sneak attack by a tyrannical Wilderness army from behind.
Just.
They paid a heavy price.
There are fewer than five people left in the entire team.
The five are now lying in the camp of the seriously injured.
"Otherwise, I will go back and tell them, General, you are busy..."
Hammont Seacrest waved his hand to interrupt him, and made a gesture to lead the way. The little soldier showed a grateful expression and immediately led the general through the messy battlefield.
Countless Elysian Realm soldiers struggled to clean up the messy battlefield.
Hammont Seacrest walked into a huge temporarily constructed site.
This is one of the venues dedicated to the casualties.
After Hammont Seacrest walked in, he saw with his own eyes that the bodies of warrior killed in battle were constantly being cleaned up and finally sent here. Everyone was covered with a piece of cloth covering their whole body, and one side was not far from the treatment center for the wounded. , There were constant painful * or screams from there, and a steady stream of warrior who died during the treatment were sent to the morgue here.
The whole air is filled with a **** stench.
Hundreds of doctors’ clothes have been dyed red. They are busy with their hands, but they still don’t seem to have enough enough. Some people die because they don’t get timely treatment.
This barracks are all Expeditionary Army wounded soldiers.
Hammont Seacrest came directly to the area responsible for the treatment of the wounded soldiers of the Zhan Long Corps. When the severely wounded soldiers saw their generals here, they all stopped issuing *, and everyone cast an excited look.
Hammont Seacrest quickly walked to a warrior that was covered in bandages.
This is the squad leader, just like a gossamer.
The team leader's eyes saw General Hammont Seacrest, and his eyes reappeared: "General...jun, general!"
"Don't move, you will be better!"
"No...I can't do it anymore, you don't need to comfort me." The team leader cast an eager look at Hammont Seacrest: "Did we win?"
"Yes, we are victorious. All the enemies are repulsed. The culprit who planned this war, culprit, the **** Demon Elder has been hit hard by Arcturus Governor. He will not be able to make waves for decades. Frost de Winter Marshal led the Expeditionary Army to pursue the war. This This time will definitely annihilate them all on Wilderness."
Hammont Seacrest can't bear to deceive a heroic warrior who is about to die.
He couldn't bear to let this warrior die with regret.
"That’s good, that’s good. I hope our children and grandchildren will no longer have to live under the threat of the evil strength. Speaking of this... I really miss my wife and children, but I don’t regret it, they will I'm proud, I didn't shame my hometown, I didn't shame them, I..." When the team leader said this, the eyes suddenly burst into light, "General, you said, you will Become Marshal, you will definitely become Marshal, right?"
Hammont Seacrest was stunned.
Finally nodded hard.
"You are different from other generals. You will definitely become a good general. All of us regard you as a goal. You will definitely become a great Marshal..."
The captain stretched out a hand.
He was only halfway through.
Finally, the hand slipped down weakly.
A heroic soul fell into the arms of Olympus. If Olympus really exists...
Several doctors quickly gathered around, and after a simple examination, immediately covered his whole body with a cloth, and then sent him to the morgue opposite.
Hammont Seacrest left here in silence, looking at the messy scene before him again.
This battle was won. He didn't feel any joy or honor at all. From a fat face to a confused and puzzled expression, he always had a doubt in his heart...Won? Did this battle really win? Expeditionary Army and the Fortress did indeed defend Sanctuary, and even repelled the Wilderness who came to attack, causing considerable losses to Wilderness.
The Dawn Polaris who was supposed to be executed has been rescued. Sanctuary blocked the offensive of Wilderness and paid a huge price. There is not much difference between this fortress and being destroyed... And whether what Demon Elder Zhu Yin said is true. , Who are they fighting for and for whom?
There is no winner in this war.
Perhaps there has never been a winner in the war.
And the war is not over yet, it just temporarily moved from the visible place to the invisible place.
Hammont Seacrest couldn't help but wonder, why the master Arcturus is so powerful, why always have reservations? There seems to be a deeper motivation behind everything he does. Even Hammont Seacrest can see that Cloudhawk is definitely the most likely existence that enough will pose a threat to Sky Cloud Elysian Realm in the future. Can Arcturus masters fail to see it?
Arcturus Cloude can defeat four top level powerhouses including Abaddon and enough alone.
Arcturus Governor can start a fierce battle with Demon Elder and almost kill Demon Elder in the end.
He obviously possesses such a powerful strength. If he must kill Cloudhawk, no one can stop him on the battlefield today, but why would he watch Cloudhawk be taken away by that Demon Elder and not make a move? It is impossible to make such a low-level mistake of raising tigers with his wisdom, so what is Master Arcturus thinking?
Can Arcturus absorb strength using Seraph in enough?
This kind of ability is definitely not available for demonhunter. Since Arcturus master has such ability, why hasn't it been shown before?
Actually, the older generation of Skycloud City people talked a lot about this matter in private. People still respect the power of Master Arcturus, but it is impossible to turn a blind eye to the doubts about Master Arcturus.
…………
Skycloud Temple.
Selene and Lanlin have reported on the Sanctuary battle.
High Priest Ramiel slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in a pair of deep eyes. He didn't say anything, just waved his hand to make the two retreat first.
Selene leaves Temple.
She feels very heavy.
She didn’t know if Cloudhawk could survive. After all, Cloudhawk itself was seriously injured and participated in such a high-intensity battle. In the end, it was taken away by Demon Elder, who even Arcturus could only perform heavy injuries and could not directly kill. Up.
Selene can only watch, but she can't do anything.
This feeling made her angry and helpless.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front.
Selene saw this figure that emerged out of thin air. He was wrapped in black clothes from head to toe. No skin was exposed. Only a pair of cold and indifferent eyes without any human emotions. Selene's eyes suddenly poured out. Angrily, she clenched her fists and took a few deep breaths.
"What are you doing here?"
"Come and see you."
Thoudsand-Faced Sadow walked over, and when facing the angry woman in front of him, there was a sudden fluctuation in Gujing Wubo's eyes: "Do you care about him that way?"
Selene said: "So what? It's better than someone like you who doesn't care about anyone!"
"But you have to know that the start of this war has nothing to do with him."
"I believe this is not the original intention of Cloudhawk, and I always believe that Cloudhawk is not a person who likes war. If it weren't for being forced by the guys in Arcturus and Wilderness, he would never do these things. I don’t know how much he is."
"There is no one in this world whose motives and purposes are innate. The so-called mission, so-called beliefs are all driven by experience, whether external force or influenced by others, people will change. You think Have you ever had it? If one day, Cloudhawk personally led the troops and took the initiative to attack Skycloud City as a true Wilderness leader, what would you do then?"
When Selene heard this, the first thing that came to mind was to refute~IndoMTL.com~ It just came to my lips but couldn't say it.
In the past few years, Selene has believed that there is no absolute thing in this world, just as she is not sure what Cloudhawk will become in the future, and just as she is not sure what she will do if she really encounters this situation, Since they are all things that cannot be determined, it is meaningless to say anything now. Only the moment that happens can the answer be known.
Selene is about to turn around.
Thoudsand-Faced Sadow said: "Where are you going?"
Selene came in a cold voice: "Don't worry about me."
"The impact caused by the emergence of Zhu Yin is actually far greater than it seems. This impact will gradually show up in the future. In the future, many people will doubt the ability and motivation of Arcturus." Thoudsand-Faced Sadow Say: "But if you want to deal with Arcturus, you are not enough alone, I can help you."
