Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

To onlookers who did not know the specific process, the Third Army was completely defeated and even gave up resistance.

Before his death, Akharonov issued a 'surrender' order to everyone, which made many people feel relieved.

At least, he has an excuse for his next actions, and although some people want to roar and shout, 'For the glory of the empire! ’ Resistance, but because they are facing Su Zhou, no one is actually doing so at the moment.

In the past, they shouted to fight for the glory of the empire, which would greatly boost their morale, because they had the possibility of victory even in the face of any enemy.

That being the case, sacrifice is not unacceptable.

However, facing an enemy that is impossible to defeat no matter what, they are not stupid enough to commit suicide.

But even so, there are still some soldiers of the Third Army who want to take advantage of the chaos to escape and use small land boats to escape from the already chaotic battle formation.

Su Zhou could see everything, but he did not stop those who wanted to run.

"If they want to leave, let them go."

Standing in front of Aharonov's body, Su Zhou glanced at Okorev who was trying to assemble his father's head and body, and then stopped paying attention.

He turned to the people such as Mingxiao and Shengri Pope who were coming behind him and said: "You can all leave. Give Lu Xingzhou to them. After all, there is no point in keeping them. Instead, they will occupy our manpower."

"We only want those who want to stay, and those battleships."

Su Zhou's instructions were naturally implemented 100%.

Although some soldiers of the Third Army could not believe that such good conditions existed at first, after a bold soldier left the northwest wilderness in a land boat and the Xiguang Association did not pursue him, more and more soldiers from the Third Army The soldiers of the Third Army wanted to leave here.

"This will only make them die faster, Svetre."

On the other side, the leader of Chasing Light walked to Su Zhou's side. He took out his eyeballs and wiped them, and then sighed: "The empire will doubt whether there are spies among these people who fled, and the master will die." The fleet is gone, and this group of soldiers who escaped rather than died in battle has no value."

"I can imagine their ending."

"I don't save everyone. Even gods only save those who save themselves. They don't want to stay, because they think the empire will still win. They still want to protect this huge, decayed organization, and they also want to prevent the arrival of the new world."

Su Zhou looked at the soldiers fleeing towards the horizon indifferently, and shook his head slightly: "What's more, they don't even have the courage to stay and witness the future, and they don't know the current affairs. They only know that those who run away...let them become their emperors." The dust from the emperor’s hands.”

"Of course, I also know that maybe many people just want to go home...but on our side, there are also many people who just want to protect their homes."

At this point, there was no need to say anything more. Su Zhou turned around and left: "Innovation is not a dinner party. It will inevitably bleed. I can only guarantee that if there is a battle, I will go first and I will bleed first. I won't care what happens to others." On."

Ruthless words. But that's normal.

Hearing these words, Pope Holy Sun and Leader Zhuguang looked at each other, and the two nodded slightly, as if they had reached some consensus.

——Professor Svitley actually has such a consciousness and wants to lead the way. In the world of Aian, this can be regarded as a saint.

The Empire's Third Army was completely defeated, Admiral Aharonov was killed, Major General Okorev and the entire fleet were completely captured. The most powerful fleet in the Empire was completely destroyed, without even causing the slightest splash.

But in the entire world of Aian, this major event set off a tsunami of public opinion.

Many forces and powerful people repeatedly confirmed that this was indeed the true news, and they couldn't help showing expressions of astonishment and disbelief.

Isn’t the Third Army strong?

No one can say that. Two disaster experts, with firepower enough to destroy several mobile cities, a heavy armored and heavy firepower fleet group. In addition, the leader of each brigade is the will of God. Such a group on the continent of Aian. It can be said to be invincible. If the coastal city were on the ground, it would be easily crushed by it.

Just this one legion can put the nobles of the southern border on alert. It can be said to be invincible and invincible.

Therefore, this can only show that Professor Sweetley is stronger.

Stronger than common sense.

Suppressing legions and multiple disasters with one person's power can almost be called the strongest in the world.

Therefore, for several days, various messengers walked on the land, and countless encrypted messages flew through the sky.

Many people who had closed their eyes opened their eyes, and the closed city gate opened a crack, and some people peeked into the world through it.

The world began to become chaotic.

Because this incident almost shows that the foundation of the empire's world rule has been shaken.

As a result, the Xiguang Association became famous and was completely known and known to everyone. After all, the Third Army, which served as a stepping stone, was so thick and tall that all other forces except the Empire were suppressed.

Just a few days after Akharonov was defeated and committed suicide, a large number of previously anonymous demonizers and strongmen swarmed in from all over the world with the intention of joining the Xiguang Society - they saw from the power of Professor Svitley I have no hope, so I would rather carry this broken body and chase the light.

Although the Xiguang Association does not accept everyone, there is no doubt that a large number of powerful people gathered in the Xiguang Mountains, and absorbed a large number of demonized people, refugees and even the fleet. The outer reaches of the Xiguang Association also began to expand in the northeast of Aian. .

The Church of the Holy Sun and the Chasing Light Order have also launched many cooperations. These three major sects and sects are clearly showing signs of forming an alliance.

For a time, just seven days, the world was in turmoil, and the Asmodai Empire seemed to be showing signs of ending at the end of the former Thor Empire.

As Aharonov said before, the world began to shake.

However, all the turmoil was eliminated by the Xiguang Association and the Empire working together.

Both sides started to attack almost at the same time, almost in tacit agreement, and began to clean up the chaos around them. Those bandits who seemed to want to take advantage of the chaos and plunder, and the neutral cities that intended to become independent kings were all bluntly suppressed by both sides.

The empire's methods are more bloody, but the Xiguang Association cannot be called friendly. They always bombard a few bases first, test the parameters of the new artillery, and then directly send an elite team to behead anyone with a bad reputation. All the city lords and nobles were physically destroyed on the spot, and then took over the rule.

In this series of actions, the first batch of Xiguang Association members taught by Su Zhou were the backbone. Luo Ya did not go to the front line, but Gasha showed extremely powerful strength in this series of assault battles. His practical ability has made leaders of other major forces admire him and even have the urge to poach him.

After all, it was the Demon King's seed, so Su Zhou was not surprised by this.

In the past, even the empire would have been denounced and boycotted by nobles across the country and major forces around the world for taking over such an act. But on the eve of this turbulent end, no one cares about the rules.

Even forces such as the Heavenly Dragon Nobles and the Holy Sun Church began to take over and merge the neutral city-states that were previously located in the buffer zones of various forces. This set off waves of bloodshed, but it was much better than a chaotic war.

The momentum and chaos caused by the Xiguang Association's victory over the Third Army actually promoted a pattern in which major forces around the world consolidated their interests in existing areas and quickly merged with smaller forces in order to survive.

This is not surprising.

Because small forces may feel that if the empire loses a pillar of support, it will naturally collapse. In troubled times, they and others must prepare early to deal with the big times.

But the real big force has experienced Asmodai XIII sweeping the world decades ago. Everyone in the ZTE Empire knows that the foundation of the empire lies in the 'Sun Emperor' and the first knight of the empire.

The former and Akharonov commanded an army that was invincible and invincible, while the latter blocked countless beheadings and assassinations for the former two, blocked the attacks of all forces in the entire Eian world with one person, and forced the empire to be determined. .

If Aharonov is the arm of Asmodai XIII, and breaking it off is painful, but it has nothing to do with life or death, then the first knight Ilovitz is the anchor of the entire empire.

He is the 'strongest' recognized by everyone in the world of Aian.

As long as Ilovitz dies, the empire cannot fall apart and there will still be a minimum of order.

Anyone who wants to jump up at this time will be treated as a chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys, and will be eliminated with the most brutal means.

Compared with these small fish and shrimps that surfaced when they saw some turbulence, the big forces wanted to see the reaction of Ilovitz and Asmodai XIII.

But in fact, Ilovitz didn't react at all.

He just sat in the empty home of his good friend, staring in the dark at the chair where Aharonov often sat reading the newspaper and drinking coffee.

The gray-haired knight with golden eyes looked as confused as a child, with a face that didn't know anything about it and didn't understand why he was so sad.

He is not a noble, nor does he have a military rank. The First Knight of the Empire is just a false title. In essence, he is just a friend of the emperor and the general, a 'commoner' living in the imperial capital.

The Third Army originally had missions every month. When Ilovitz said goodbye to his old friend this time, he was still thinking that next time, Akharonov should retire early to accompany him fishing. The empire can be stable without them. The Sun Emperor's power is enough, and the empire no longer needs the veteran to continue to contribute.

"Why are you fighting without telling me?"

He murmured to himself: "For eighty-three years, haven't we always been on the battlefield together? Why did you set out alone this time when facing such a powerful enemy?"

silence.

Because the person who can reply is gone.

And in this dark house, a little light suddenly lit up.

[Because Aharonov doesn’t want you to fight an unjust war. 】

A ball of swaying golden flames lit up beside Ilovitz out of thin air, and then turned into a hazy human-shaped shadow.

Xuying's tone was equally sad, but also sharply accusatory: [To be worse, he doesn't believe you anymore. After all, Ilovitz, you also know that believing in the Xiguang Association is the right thing to do. 】

But soon, the shadow's tone softened: [But we all know that the answer cannot be the latter. 】

"His Majesty……"

He had long noticed the source energy fluctuations beside him. Even if Ilovitz didn't need to look at it, the appearance of the other party would naturally appear in his mind. But at this moment, he had no intention to say anything more. He just raised his head and said confusedly: "This is Why? Why did Akharonov commit suicide? The Xiguang Society said that he committed suicide because he knew what was right and felt shame."

"But I have obviously said the same thing many times. Our actions are unjust. Why doesn't he listen to what I say? It has to come to this time, this time..."

He lost his voice a little. The silver-haired knight held his head and suppressed the pain in his heart. He did not look like a strong man comparable to a god at all.

However, the flame figure next to him knew that such a sincere heart was the reason why Ilovitz could compare himself to a god with a mortal body.

【Because of escaping. 】

Therefore, the Sun Emperor said calmly: [You are his friend. You can pretend not to hear what you say. You will leave room for communication and will not push your friend to death. 】

[Xiguang's Svetrey is different. He is powerful, an enemy, and hates injustice. He will naturally break Akharonov's psychological defenses without hesitation and make the evildoers commit suicide. I would like to thank him even for his kindness. He left Akharonov's body intact. 】

The knight was silent, but the Sun Emperor shook his head slightly when he saw this scene.

[Why silence, Ilovitz? He is a general, and it is his duty to die on the battlefield. Just like me, if the empire collapses, I will collapse too. 】

[I told you back then, if you want to be a hero and change the world, you must use the power in your hands; if you want to change the empire, you must become a noble and a general; if you want to be a recluse Sage, then don’t appear in the empire and sever ties with evil people like us. If you want to do everything and want nothing, this will not lead to good results. 】

[Just like now, what's the use of being sad? Even if Akharonov commits suicide, he can still be regarded as dying at the hands of Xiguang's Svetrey. If you insist on your own morality, friendship will erode your heart. If you seek revenge for friendship, the morality that supports you to become stronger will disappear. Where? 】

The Sun Emperor's words were powerful, and every word hit Ilovitz's heart.

What's strange is that he didn't even deny Ilovitz's morality, or even refute that he was on the evil side.

Everything he said and did was to state the facts, which was why the First Knight felt so painful and found it difficult to remain silent.

"What on earth should I do...so that it's not wrong?"

Putting his hands on his head, a voice came from between his fingers. Ilovitz's tone was filled with great confusion: "You have made a mistake. I should not help you oppress the civilians... But I am not smart. I I can't think of a better way to maintain order, and oppression is better than chaos, so I don't do anything."

"But Akharonov is still dead...what is right in this world?"

[Live and remember Aharonov’s death, that’s not wrong. 】

The flaming figure also raised his head and looked at the small table where coffee and newspapers were often placed. He said calmly: "There is no right thing in this world. Thinking about such meaningless things is worse than taking action." 】

After saying this, the Sun Emperor turned his head and looked at the confused knight: [My friend... you have always been silent, silent to the world. 】

[You clearly have the power to change the world, but you have not shouldered the responsibility. 】

"I took on the responsibility... I saved many people, and I participated in the war to pacify the world..." The knight lowered his head and murmured. He put his hand down and looked at the lines on his palm.

[No, this is not enough. You are the strongest in the world, but you are willing to be unknown... This is wrong. If you have power, you should have authority. Just like this time, if you are willing, you will be the marshal of the empire. Ah Haronov's actions cannot be hidden from you, he will not die, and you can implement the benevolent government you want. 】

The Sun Emperor's voice has always been very calm and thin, with a hoarse tone: [Of course, I may not agree, but I will compromise because you are the Grand Marshal of the Empire, not just my friend. 】

You may not necessarily listen to what your friends say, but someone will pay attention to what someone who is closely related to your position says.

Ilovitz clenched his fists.

He had had this kind of conversation with Aharonov and Michal countless times in the past.

They said that he was very powerful and could hold unparalleled authority in this empire as long as he was willing. If he could use it well, he might really be able to bring about a better world, or at least reduce the suffering by one point.

But he felt that all he could do had been done. In the final analysis, he is just a knight obsessed with skills and loyal to the code. He can't govern a country or lead an army. All he can rely on is the sword in his hand.

Yes, he once killed two northern barbarian chiefs with one person, suppressed the Yanshuang army with one person, and did something comparable to what Svetre of Xiguang did today. He forced the southern nobles to retreat. The 'King Qin' coalition forces forced them back to the Kadir Gorge, and then moved to the center to block the legion of another prince for Asmodai XIII.

In the past troubled times, he had united a scattered empire, and the three of them worked together to end an era when civilization was on the verge of falling apart.

After everything, Michal invited him to become the marshal. Akharonov thought that he could just be his adviser. He would become the newest and most powerful duke in the empire, with authority under one person and over ten thousand people. By.

But Ilovitz was unwilling.

He is, after all, a knight and nothing more.

He once tried to govern a small city, but the result was disastrous. First, he was overwhelmed by the complexity of the decrees, and then the city's financial collapse occurred because he couldn't operate it. In addition, he really didn't understand people. Relationships, so that communicating with subordinates seems very stiff and difficult.

Let him govern the country?

Ilovitz believed that he would only do bad things with good intentions and make a mess, so it would be better to let Michal and Aharonov do it.

【What you should do. 】

At this moment, the Sun Emperor's voice sounded: [Or, do you want to do nothing and just wait, waiting for the right arrival? 】

[This is not a bad choice. 】

After Ilovitz was silent for a while, he finally stood up.

He finally understood.

In this world, many times, things cannot be differentiated by whether they are right or not, whether they are correct or not.

Sometimes, they have to fight each other just for existing.

All of this cannot be avoided. Aharonov is dead. Whether he is an imperial member or a friend of the other party, he has to do something and must do it.

Yes, Aharonov did not want to participate in this senseless war. He went to fight a war that he did not want to fight. ,

So he died, for the world he had in mind.

Iloviz knew that even if the world was not perfect and even full of sins and mistakes, at least Aharonov took action and took responsibility for his actions.

This is ten thousand times better than him.

"My friend, this meaningless war... I am here to finish it."

Whispering in a deep voice, Ilovitz raised his head and looked at the flame figure beside him, his eyes extremely complex.

"Mihar..." he said softly: "We made you the Sun Emperor because we hope you can become the sun and shine in the dark era after the Holy Sun is extinguished."

"The sun should not have another sun to shine, so I hide my light and want to be the path for you. This is a perfect ending for me."

"I understand everything, Michal. I'm not stupid, I just don't want to think like that... But it's all my fault. It's my thoughts that led to the current situation."

"So I will do something. Opportunity is a good thing and a bad thing for you, but you, being so smart, must have known it for a long time... You must have a plan, right?"

He turned around, opened the door of Aharonov's mansion, and strode out.

The knight's last sigh still echoed in the room: "Mihal, my friend, my majesty."

"Why...don't you want to shine on the world?"

The flaming figure stayed in the room, and he did not follow him.

Then, the Sun Emperor heard a roar that shook the sky, as if he wanted to vent all the sadness, anger, hatred for himself, and helplessness in his heart.

With the imperial capital as the center, the clouds in the entire sky are like tides, receding in all directions, retreating to the far end of the field of vision. The layers of clouds pile up into mountains, but they still seem to be caressed away by the hands of giants. Like that, it dissipated in the violent wind.

Then there was a burst of light and a storm. The incredible energy shook the atmosphere. The entire city and the dust in the surrounding ground were suspended, as if attracted by a magnet.

All the residents around the imperial capital subconsciously raised their heads. They looked up at the sky, and saw a hazy dark golden source energy creating a huge and complicated array of runes in the sky. From a distance, it looked like Like a perfect cross star.

They were a little surprised and frightened by this, but they calmed down after being comforted by some older residents. They knew that this was the logo of Ilovitz, the first knight of the empire, the 'Star of the Pacification of the Four Directions'.

The rune array was just an afterimage. The moment it appeared, the dark golden stream of light had already reached the top of the sky that was invisible to ordinary people, and then sped towards the northeast. The disaster-stricken warriors who were guarding the imperial capital swallowed. Drool, only he could see it at the moment. At the top of the sky in Aian's world, there was thunder raging along with the strong wind, and a terrifying sharp aura that seemed to be able to tear everything apart.

If all these visions happened on the earth, it would probably be more than just a natural disaster.

But the Sun Emperor turned a blind eye to this and ignored it.

He just came to the table and seat that Aharorov loved so much in the past, sat down on the chair that Ilovitz had been sitting on before, and stared in front of him in almost the same posture as the knight before.

His eyes were deep and there was no trace of any emotion.

【Am I that bad? Let your friends die? 】

He murmured to himself in a low voice, and then shook his head calmly: [I just want to live, it doesn't matter whether it's bad or not. 】

He stood up, the body made of flames dissipated, and a spiritual light returned to the Tower of Babel, above the spiritual torch.

The Sun Emperor's body opened his eyes, and he looked down at the Tower of Babel. Those demonizers who were being captured by the imperial army and filled into the soul-burning torch, and even ordinary soul condensers who might have broken the law, were golden. There is only indifference in his pupils.

He could hear howls, screams of pain, and desperate curses.

But all this did not cause the slightest disturbance.

The Sun Emperor raised his head and looked at the sky.

There, the holy day is fading.

There, above the sky, is the barrier of the world.

That is where other worlds lie outside the void.

The turbulent flow of time and space is so noisy, and worlds that don't know whether they can breed life are floating in it, so that the emperor who can see it can't help but sigh.

Therefore, the emperor shook his head and said to himself: [Ilovitz, you don’t understand at all. 】

[After all, the sun will go out, who would want to be the sun forever? 】

[Shenmu, it must be the same. 】

And the other side of the world.

The brilliance of the candlelight is shining in all directions.
