"Bang bang bang bang"

The continuous sound of machine guns criss-crossing the small town in the hinterland of Europe. The smell of gunpowder smoke, blood, and death mixed together, making this obscure town so ferocious, almost like a real As hell.

No one knows why the situation suddenly turned bad. It was as if the world changed after waking up. There were flying beasts howling in the sky, and even legendary monsters rushed into the city and wreaked havoc. Running away aimlessly, at the most flustered and worst time, the messengers of the gods descended from the sky again, announcing to them that the trustees would be protected.

Therefore, the belief that was originally dispensable became the last straw to save lives in an instant. Many people who were not firm in their will immediately transformed into loyal followers of a certain belief, and it was safe to be taken away. , but in a city that has broken away from the normal order, it is said that they regained safety there and lived an extremely happy life.

In times of war, this is the happiest pursuit.

It's not because this 19-year-old girl is so determined, but she still remembers everything her boyfriend who has been missing for several days told her.

"Don't believe in those gods...don't indulge in hypocritical beliefs, they are not the benevolent gods you believe in...they are just a bunch of despicable liars, you will get nothing from there!"

It was a mysterious old man who looked to be in his 70s, but his energy was no different from that of a 20-year-old young man. What attracted Joanna the most was the unique temperament of this old man, as if he had crossed the border. After a long time, the loneliness left behind from the world makes the emotional Joanna fall quickly.

The enthusiasm made her even willing to give birth to a child for the old man. She once thought she was crazy, because she didn't know her boyfriend's name until the moment the child was born.

"My name is Carter Sley, remember this name... my little Joanna."

She will never forget the blue flames that surged from the old man's body when he was holding the baby. At that moment, she knew that her boyfriend was really not simple.

But the happy days are always short-lived. After this world change happened, Carter Sley left her.

"I'm going to find someone, Joanna."

At the moment when Santorini was occupied by sea monsters, old Carter held his son in his arms and led her to kill a bloody path on the battlefield where murloc monsters ravaged. Before leaving, he would My son should be in her arms anyway, and said to her very sincerely:

"I want to use my treasured things in exchange for a destined bright future for you and my son in the new world...Before they come, protect yourself...Protect my son, no matter how much suffering, Persevere, Joanna... soon, you will find that this persistence will bring you rewards that you can never imagine."

These were the last words Carter Sley said to her before he left, and then he disappeared completely. It seemed that the moment he disappeared, the world became chaotic. Joanna followed Sley's family, she Originally thought it was Shi Lei's junior, but in the conversation with the old patriarch the day before yesterday, Joanna found out that her old boyfriend was a "knight" who had lived for 200 years.

This made this uncertain girl cherish the advice left by So Lei even more.

But now, they're trapped in this crossfire town where Sicilian crusaders and Tuscan believers are fighting a terrible war, accusing each other of heresy, no negotiation, no communication, tens of thousands With weapons in hand, a frenzied fight began.

"boom"

The woman next to Joanna was hit by a bullet during the panic transfer, leaving blood on her heart. She rolled on the ground in pain, but no one was willing to help her. The girl holding the child looked at the woman's desperate eyes, She burst into tears, and finally could only say sorry in her heart, and then tried to escape the battlefield with others.

Death...has never been so close to her!

Outside the window, those crazy believers screamed fanatical dogma that Joanna couldn't understand, armed with automatic rifles, and some even hung bombs on their bodies, brave like the most well-trained soldiers, however, they were in the midst of the disaster Before it happened, it might be a gentle teacher, a decent local person, belief... This kind of illusory thing, at this moment, completely changed the world.

Make it crazy, make it bad, make it so grim.

"Catch them!"

The field leader of the Sicilian Crusaders soon discovered this group of refugees who were struggling to escape on the battlefield. This man who was originally a major in the Italian army commanded his elite "knights" and shouted loudly:

"Arrest those unbelievers, give them weapons, and let them go to the battlefield! Die in jihad is their best destination!"

Soon, heavily armed soldiers surrounded Joanna and the people around them. They brutally smashed the old people who tried to resist with their gun butts. The etiquette developed by human civilization was not reflected in them at all, as if In an instant, they returned to the barbaric era when they used to hold long swords.

A rude guy saw the sleeping baby in Joanna's arms, with a cruel smile on his face, he strode over, threw out the bayonet on the weapon with a bang, and raised it high.

"Take your little bastard to death, you wretched unbelievers! Your soul will burn in the fires of hell!"

Seeing the cruelly shining bayonet raised, Joanna knelt and sat on the ground limply, holding the child tightly in her arms, screaming in despair:

"No... Carter, where are you?!"

This kind of scream not only did not arouse the pity of the soldier in front of him, but made the fierce look on his face even more fierce. But at the moment when the bayonet was about to come down, a huge black shadow instantly captured the little boy who was fighting fiercely. The town loomed.

The rude soldier raised his head in astonishment, and saw a huge silver-gray spaceship standing in the sky. It exuded a cold light and completely blocked the sunlight. Under the obviously modified battleship, hundreds of hideous The rapid-fire gun has been adjusted in direction.

"bang bang bang"

The destructive skyfire fell from the sky, and it took less than 3 seconds to completely bury the thousands of people who were killed in this small town and inside. Amidst the flames, blue beams of light shone, and a fully armed and uniformly dressed Soldiers in black uniforms stood outside the Sicilian Crusaders headquarters. In front of the sudden army, the indifferent commander raised his left hand and then dropped it abruptly.

"bang bang bang"

After a volley, all the fanatics with weapons fell in a pool of blood. The rude soldier looked at the torn wound on his chest. All the strength in his body was drained at this moment, and he knelt powerlessly. He fell to the ground, and then fell into a pool of blood. Joanna still had blood on her face, but when she raised her head, she saw the soldier who was dying. His astonished gaze met Joanna's, causing the latter to suffer Frightened, he held the child and stood up.

"Are you Joanna? Joanna Evans?"

The killing by the strange troops made all the refugees present feel chilled. They didn't know how the soldiers who appeared suddenly would treat them, but the commander who issued the killing order stepped forward and stood beside Joanna, holding a A photo was compared repeatedly, and then asked:

"Are you the widow of Mr. Carter Slay?"

"The widow?"

Joanna's green eyes danced with sadness, which soon overwhelmed her with tears all over her face. She knew that the people in front of her were her old boyfriend's price for the future she promised... , is his life.

The deepest love is nothing more than that.

"The baby in your arms is the blood of Mr. Carter Sley, right?"

The commander looked at the baby who was able to sleep peacefully in the flames of battle. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Joanna wiped away her tears and hugged her son even tighter:

"His name is Carter Sley, a name given to him by the old Sley himself."

"very good!"

The commander in front of him breathed a sigh of relief, and he whispered:

"I'm Beckett, Major of Utopia's Third Legion. I've been ordered to come and pick you up and the overlord's godson back to Utopia. Come with me."

"Overlord? Utopia?"

Joanna froze for a moment, she subconsciously asked, "What is that?"

"That is the last hope of human civilization..."

Major Beckett gave a brief answer. He reached out to hug the child, but Joanna took a step back vigilantly. This made the major embarrassed. He shook his head:

"Don't worry, this child's identity has already determined that no one in this world would dare to hurt him!"

"plop"

Joanna was still in a daze, and the old man beside her had already knelt down at Joanna's feet, pleading:

"Save us, take us with you, there is no place for us in this war-torn land."

This sudden call for help made Joanna a little at a loss. She was just a 19-year-old girl. She subconsciously turned her attention to Major Beckett. The paper was placed in front of the old man:

"read!"

The old man glanced at the paper, it was full of blasphemous words, it was impossible for any believer to read it, but for an unbeliever, it was obviously no pressure, he read it quickly , and was guided by the soldiers to stand in the safe area. Behind him, the refugees read it out one by one.

Of course, there are those who don’t want to read it, so there’s nothing you can do about it.

Fifteen minutes later, in the official residence of the Mexican capital, Joanna, who had changed her clothes, carried Carter in her arms and walked into the deepest office of the residence under the leadership of Beckett. After the mahogany gate opened, Beckett gave a military salute with a swish. , shouting:

"General Lewis! Task Force 7 has completed its mission! Mr. Carter Slay's widow and Overlord's godson have been brought back!"

"very good!"

The middle-aged man in a wheelchair and wearing a military uniform waved to Joanna. This general, who had been thoroughly washed away from the tempering of the war and became more like a qualified soldier, whispered:

"Come, little girl, let me see the child."

Joanna was a little afraid, which is normal. In the first 19 years of her life, she had never encountered such a situation, but out of trust in these saviors, she still carefully put the still sleeping little Carter In Lewis' arms.

Lewis looked at the child in his arms, with dark green flames dancing in his eyes, and after making a subtle distinction, he kissed little Carter on the forehead:

"This kid's future achievements are destined to be extraordinary. Old Carter's will will be rekindled in his body, and maybe he can become the next knight."

He held the child, raised his head, and looked at Joanna:

"I know you have a lot of doubts, girl, and I also know that you have doubts about us. Carter will be sent to Utopia, where little Carter will grow up with his older sister, also there, you will learn about old Carter's life, all I can say is... your husband is a hero, he is a hero for human civilization made an unimaginable contribution to its continued existence.”

"But I'd rather he be alive... than die a hero and leave Carter Jr. alone and me struggling to survive in this burning world. I don't want him to be a hero..."

Facing the tearful Joanna, Lewis sighed:

"You have lost too much, and so have we... But the firewood of the world has been ignited, and there is really not much we can do except fight and live hard."
