Invade the white dove

Chapter 124 Breaking Dawn 14

Utur couldn't remember how he got out of the dungeon, and how he was transferred to the meeting hall under Ivan's leadership.

——"The old world is about to perish, how could Fino be willing to dedicate his son to the doomed protoss? So he and the Aushen Cult designed to seal me...Ulysses, I should have known that greed is an incurable disease, even if it is The Protoss will never be satisfied."

Sotiria's voice still lingered in his ears. Although he understood every word he said, Utur found that he still couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

"If, as you said, I am Yulis, the heir of Odon, but Odon was destroyed by Gaman, it means that His Majesty is my enemy. You are trying to provoke the relationship between me and His Majesty..."

Utur heard himself asking dry questions like this.

But Sotiria did not answer him directly.

——"I support every decision you make, including forgetting the past. But Ulysses, don't forget your heart."

Kyle was sitting on the recliner, enjoying the new song created by the bard during his visit to Xisar City. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes: "Utur, you..."

"You went to the dungeon." Kyle's eyes were a little cold after seeing the water marks under the Duke's feet, "Tatos, I once told you to keep that prison tightly guarded...Tatos!"

The demon on the mural didn't respond.

Kyle seemed to remember that the power of the demon had long been inferior to before, and he slapped the armrest with a fist: "No one is useful."

"I told the attendants to let you lie down." Kyle looked at Utur dissatisfied.

"Appropriate activities are conducive to physical recovery." Utur came back to his senses, and did not look into Kyle's eyes. The conference table was full of front-line intelligence. He walked over and looked carefully.

The situation is the same as before.

In just half a month, Gaman's army was retreating steadily, and had retreated to the outer castle defending Stanislav.The enemy's army seemed to be in an uninhabited land. Gaman's tens of thousands of soldiers couldn't even slow down the opponent's pace for half a day.

While the regular army was confronting each other, what Duke Duke was most worried about at the beginning finally happened.

Hundreds of thousands of "miscellaneous soldiers" composed of beggars, vagrants, hooligans, robbers, and criminals poured out from the principalities, and under the leadership of the commander, they swept across Gaman's borders like locusts.

Wherever they passed, the damage was more serious than that caused by floods or fires: fields were trampled, houses were burned, old people and children were killed, women and virgins were reduced to playthings, and young and strong men were called slaves they competed for.

Small villages and towns are like this, and large cities have suffered even more losses——

Once upon a time, art, including painting and music, flourished in the Garman Empire with the encouragement of Sprue III and Kyle.

Painters are no longer limited to depicting "Aushen's Elysium" or "Old God's Foggy Forest". More field scenery and people in the city have been excavated. "God" is no longer the only protagonist in the picture, mourning the loss of new life The distraught mother, the wild dogs surrounding the feet of the hanged prisoner, and the homeless begging along the roadside have all become the protagonists in the painter's works.

Music is the same. The once grand and majestic sacred music has been replaced by cheerful court dances and folk tunes; poems that only praise the greatness and mystery of God have begun to speculate and criticize; people are no longer ashamed to talk about sex and love. Sculpture Artists show the ultimate beauty and romance of the human body on marble...

Every city is decorated with its own beauty under the embellishment of artists with similar pursuits. Sculptures, paintings, murals, and gardening create a unique city image.

But now, they are occupied and destroyed by the believers of the God of God and the motley army led by the six kingdoms.

Frescoes were plastered, sculptures smashed with wooden hammers, painted, and thrown into raging fires that became the fuel that burned down the city.

People cheered and wept bitterly at the same time, bowing to the image of Ao Shen who appeared in the white flames, and pushing the stubborn "artists" who wanted to protect their works into the fire, hoping that Ao Shen could save their fallen souls.

But neither Kyle nor Utur can do anything about it.Gaman's male lion has had its claws removed by magic and put on a shackle.

Coincidentally, in the meeting hall, the bard, who was having fun for the king, raised his pitch. The lute turned twice in his hand, and he flicked the strings with his fingertips, and the passionate notes slanted out:

"... put on the chain, throw away the key, and the lion still has his teeth

Idiot, how dare you challenge the king of beasts? "(*)

The bard roared, and the gray-green eyes also burst into anger, as if the anger in Kyle's heart was gushing out through the bard's mouth.

Amid waves of stronger music, Utur finally came to his senses.

This is the moment of Gamman's life and death, and it is definitely not the right time to be obsessed with investigating whether what Sotiria said is true.

"Your Majesty." Utur took a long breath and walked to Kyle's side. "We will definitely find a way."

Kyle rolled his eyes and looked at Utur, with a smile on his face again: "I must admit that I made a mistake in judgment. But if there really are 'gods', then they should not have intervened in human wars. After all, it is despicable to use magic to win. But who would have thought that those so-called believers, holding the banner of justice, would do the same thing as me, the target of the crusade?"

"Even, they are even more despicable." Speaking of this, Kyle suddenly sat up straight, walked to the conference table, and lead paintings of the city being reduced to ashes in the flames fell down one after another, "These ignorant pariahs who only follow blind faith !"

With a sound of "Dang", the bard strummed heavily: "Your Majesty, as it is written in the poem, 'Everything lost in ashes will eventually be reborn in flames'. Odong was also swallowed by flames, but She is slowly recovering her vitality during the rebuilding—oh, although she has become a complete ruin now, those mobs don't know how to be merciful at all... However, as long as the blood of the lion is still flowing in the bodies of the descendants of the Mulder family, We'll always have a chance to save Garman from the wicked."

Utur looked at the prodigal man in the green leather coat who could never stand upright, his brows twitched suddenly: "Are you suggesting..."

"Let's run away, Your Majesty." The bard looked serious.

Kyle looked at the bard as if watching a joke, and the soles of the pointed leather boots studded with jewels slammed on the marble floor, and asked, "Where is this?"

"Stanley," the bard replied.

"Stani, the capital of Gamman. Gamman—my empire." Kyle suddenly raised his voice, "My country, when is it your turn to speak?"

With a loud bang, the only surviving display shelf in the chamber was also pushed down by Kyle. The bard did not dare to move, and was drenched in the fine wine that had been preserved for many years. The scarlet wine soaked him inside and out. The fragrance of grapes.

"Go away." Utur raised his chin at the bard.

As if being pardoned, the poet fled quickly holding the lute.

Kyle ignored the jumping clown, turned around, pointed his fingers on the table, and stroked the lists of fallen soldiers.

"I will let Uncle Duke and General Roman retreat to Stanley. Sooner or later, they will conquer all the territories except Stanley. There is no need for unnecessary sacrifices." After a long silence, Kyle spoke in a low voice.

"His Majesty?"

Kyle suddenly smiled and said, "The bard is right, I did have the idea of ​​giving up the royal city at first."

Utur looked at the shadow in Kyle's eyes: "Maybe we should really..."

"But it was his proposal that reminded me that this city embodies the efforts of the Mulder family for generations. If I evacuate from here, everything we created will be destroyed." Kyle said.

Utur disagreed: "Nothing is more important than being alive. As long as you are still alive, Gamman's spirit will never be defeated, and we can regroup..."

"Utur, you are my most loyal partner." Kyle looked at him, "but if I let you die, what would you do?"

"I will listen to you." Utur replied without hesitation, but when he saw Kyle's triumphant smile, he immediately realized that he had jumped into a small trap dug by the king, and he frowned, " Your Majesty, this is different."

"I once wanted to expel that false god from the mainland, and now it's his turn to provoke me. This has turned into a life-and-death war. If I escape from Stanislav now, it means that I have admitted defeat. I will Spit on myself."

"The false god has shown his greedy face." Kyle continued, "If Garman is destined to be unable to defeat the invading army, if I will eventually die under the chaotic saber, I will use my death to prove the hypocrisy of their god. "

"I would like to accompany you to protect Gamman until the end of my life."

Just as Utur was about to kneel down, Kyle held his hands.He lowered his eyes and looked into His Majesty's bright eyes.

At this moment, perhaps their minds have communicated.

"Your Majesty, if you have made up your mind, please let me inform the Duke and the general to withdraw their troops. With the general's temper, if it is a letter or an ordinary messenger, he will definitely not obey." Utur petitioned.

**

That night, Utur rode the ownerless white horse named Bolei, and left the royal city alone. (*)

Kyle stood by the window, and didn't move away until the scarlet figure completely disappeared into the night.

"Your Majesty, although I cannot cause substantial harm to humans right now, please rest assured that with my protection, you will not die."

Tatos, who could only appear in the shadows of the night, finally spoke, and the demon embraced the king in his arms, kissing his soft lips and the moist corners of his eyes.

"They won't be arrogant for too long." Kyle closed his eyes. "If they choose to besiege the city, with uncles and generals in charge, Stanislav can last for at least two years. Most people's beliefs are just a moment of enthusiasm, and they will be exhausted. Have doubts about this flimsy god."

"Now, we just have to wait until Utur comes back..."

Kyle is almost unreasonably convinced that his Utur, and only Utur, will never let him down.

Stanis spent half a month in unspeakable silence like this.

During this period of time, everyone, after waking up from their sleep, would sigh when they looked up and saw the scorching sun hanging in the sky: they were still alive on this day.

Some people have even jumped over the complete despair ahead of time, and turned to a kind of unfounded optimism: If the guillotine hanging around the neck has not fallen, is there still a turning point...

Just as such hopes were spreading in the city, the much-anticipated Duke Utur knocked on Stani's door.

However, what was covered under the scarlet cloak was a wooden box still dripping with blood.

The once white steed was foaming at the mouth and fell down with a mournful cry. Utur, who was soaked in blood, rolled off the horse's back, holding the wooden box tightly with both hands, and two tears were clearly visible under his eyes and on his cheeks.

Kyle, who had already received the news that the Duke had returned to the royal city, rushed out of the Lion Castle and knelt beside Utur.

"Your Majesty." Utur held the wooden box in both hands, a tear fell from his right eye, "Duke Duke, die for the country with your own body."

solock me up and tie me up and throw out the key...

It’s a very interesting song. I don’t know if Netease Cloud has uploaded it now. The actors in the film sing a cappella, accompanied by knives and forks. It’s a bit of black humor in prison.

(2) It has been too long and may have been forgotten. Bray used to be Sotiria's mount.
