Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Twenty-two years ago, in the southern part of the Kerba Empire, the quiet frontline of the forest.

　　 Under the gloomy sky, crimson fire light spreads in the dark green forest. While illuminating the front line of the night, it also filled the battlefield with the smell of coke and ashes.

In the town completely torch, countless elven corpses burned to charcoal are scattered among the flames and charcoal. The mutilated corpses may strangle their necks or stretch their heads, as if to Like being drowned, trying his best to breathe.

After being bombarded by alchemy fuel bombs, the elves gathering place is now being cleaned by exhausted human soldiers. In this hostile forest, only the burned land can be considered safe. Otherwise, it will not be counted as those full of diseases and Poisonous mosquitoes, even a blade of grass, may quietly stretch out sharp branches and leaves in the dead of night, penetrate into the ears of deeply sleeping soldiers, and shatter their brains.

　　The War of the Elves, in the fourth year, the First Royal Legion of the Kelba Empire broke through the third layer of defense of the Elf Royal Court and burned the flames of war on the front line directly under the Elven Royal Court.

And just in this front camp full of corpse smell, burnt smell, man sweat smell and **** smell, a young priest tremblingly followed behind a general in black power armor, looking around the piece in a panic. A land full of elves' grudges.

　　 "The proud disciple of the great priest of DìDū Antar, although it is said that he was brought here for gilding, but his teacher said, it doesn't matter if he died."

　　 The general brought the young priest to the deputy commander of this army. He laughed and pushed the still timid priest forward: "Some time ago, I remember you said that there is a missing priest with the army? This is for you."

　　 The priest raised his head and looked in front of him. The commander who was standing in the camp had his eyes calm. Now the machine is motionless, accepting the general's instructions.

　　 The hair of the soldiers at that time did not turn gray, and they were full of high-confidence that could definitely win victory and win glory.

　　 The priest's gaze has not yet changed cold, facing the soldier's blade-like gaze, he even lowers his gaze subconsciously, not daring to look directly.

　　 And this is the first encounter between the bounty hunter Mikhail and the oath priest Matvi.

Although it’s okay to say that he is dead, no one really dared to let DìDū’s proud disciple walk on the front line at will. Matvi got twelve soldiers as his guards, and he was responsible for following the striker’s back for injuries. Soldier treatment.

The war on the front line is ignited every day. In order to regain the homeland, the elves are planning counterattacks all the time. The fertility rate of these pointed ears with a lifespan of 180 years is not as low as in the story, as long as there is a stable environment. , Their population growth rate with longer growth period is actually no less than that of human beings, and in the forest, they are even more like a fish in water. The human side can only advance along the way by burning the forest while walking, otherwise it will be difficult to move at all.

The reason why the Kelba Empire attacked the Elf King’s Court was for the super-large mana spar veins in the Silent Forest. Since the empire’s mana industrialization reform, the value of mana ore that was originally only needed by mages has risen all the way, except for the north. There are no other high-value mana mines in the imperial territory, except for the high-reserve mineral veins in the mountains surrounding the Maiar.

For development and wealth, the lord of the southern empire persuaded the royal family to launch this war, but no one thought that the battle would be so tragic. The fully mechanized army of the empire thought it was invincible and felt that it was invincible. The army will be defeated as easily as the western barbarians and become their cheap labor slaves.

But the war has lasted for four years. The empire has invested enough military power and wealth in it to recreate three DìDū. The financial burden caused by a large number of deaths has made it difficult for the military department to even issue pensions, and the Elven Royal Court even sent the Archdruid. The towns in the southern part of the empire set off a'dark green disaster'. The wildly growing trees destroyed many cities and killed countless civilians. The poisonous miasma has not yet dissipated.

Riding a tiger is the situation today, but fortunately, the war potential of the empire is still stronger than that of the elves. After paying the price of almost annihilating the southern industrial circle and the collective migration of the empire’s industrial production areas to the north, the Silent Qunsen is now more than half. As scorched earth, the number of elves who died was three times that of the imperial, completely emptying the population of two generations of elves.

The winning ticket is in hand. Today’s Elf King’s Court has begun to move towards the east, and some have even got the support of the dwarves to go deep underground. On the surface, the fierce attack is to regain the homeland, but in fact it is only to delay the emperor’s footsteps. .

　　 "My lord priest, something happened before..."

　　 The soldier came to report the situation to the young priest, and was already a little used to the battlefield. At least he would not be disgusted by seeing the corpse. He nodded: "Take me to see."

　　 Then, he saw two young elves trembling, surrounded by soldiers, hiding in a tree hole.

　　 "Two long-eared bastards, ha, it seems that they are under ten years old, and sending them to the back can be considered a great achievement!"

　　The soldiers smiled vulgarly: "The big people above like this taste, it's **** weird!"

The priest didn’t care about the strange look the soldiers had towards him. He was also very aware of the weird tastes of the nobles and great priests in the upper class of DìDū, but none of this had anything to do with him. The young man noticed the quivering young elves. The trembling, fearful look in his eyes suddenly stabbed in his heart.

　　 "The ancestor is here. The war is cruel, but it has nothing to do with the children."

　　 bent down, the priest knelt on one knee, took out the water bag, he wanted to feed some water to an elf child with slightly chapped lips, but the other party refused to accept it.

The gender differentiation of the elves does not appear until they secrete hormones at the age of fifteen. Elves before the age of fifteen are all underage, and there is no gender at all, and elves of this age are more expensive and more expensive on the empire Easy to tame, this is the result of research conducted by the Imperial Academy since the Four Years' War.

　　 But priests have never liked such cold remarks.

According to legend, the dragon of the ancestor created the heavens and the earth, and its soul is divided into three parts: the heavens and the earth and the three dragons of life. The heavens turn into clouds, snow and wind, thunder and rain, and the earth dragons into mountains, rivers, and sea islands, while the dragon of life divides again , Became thousands of groups on the earth.

　　Everyone is the child of the dragon of life, and all are descendants of the ancestor, all races are brothers, and the elves are no exception.

　　 In the end, the young priest successfully calmed the two elf children. At this time, the front line did not fight. They were stationed in the camp, ready to wait for the follow-up troops to follow up, and by the way handed the two good goods they caught to the logistics team.

　　 But the priest didn't intend to do this. He wanted to pay for the two elven children himself-he could not control the war, but at least one could be saved.

　　 However, in the middle of the night, the priest who had not been asleep for a long time heard a harsh scream.

　　 "Enemy attack!"

Hearing the sharp sirens, he quickly picked up his scepter. On the battlefield, no one dared to take off their equipment and rest. Even the weapons were kept in handy places, but he hadn't waited for the priest to leave his barracks. A few thin figures tore through the camp like ghosts, sharp knives and sharp arrows reached his heart and forehead.

At this moment, the priest saw that the two elf children he had placed next to his room were bleeding with one eye, holding an eye-shaped gem that released a bright purple light, restraining the camp. At the same time as the guard signaled, it also released highly toxic gas, flooding the camp.

　　 And the elite assault troops of the elves have rushed into the camp, and death spread rapidly as countless shadows flashed.

　　 was dragged out of the camp and disarmed the gods who saw that the two young elves who had mixed into the camp with their eyes as magic gems, the only remaining eyes were full of unforgettable hatred.

Everyone in this camp was killed, only the priest was left. He was to be sentenced to death after torture, but the two elves said a few elves, causing the leader of the elves to let him go. horse.

　　 has nothing to do with any feelings, just because he is a disciple of a big man, and is of great value as a captive.

For the next thing, the priest didn’t know anything. He was just locked in a small cage in despair, spending time unconsciously, until a few days later, there was another fierce battle, and he was robbed by the empire. Came back.

　　 After coming out of the cage, he was covered in filth and looked around at the surrounding land...there were corpses everywhere, the smell of gunpowder smoke, in the dark green forest, the traces of flesh and blood were so conspicuous and clear.

All are dead. Whether it is the commander of the Elf assault force or the two Elf children, the corpses are scattered incompletely on the battlefield, while the bloodshot exhausted Emperor ** is still searching the battlefield, making up for the elves who are still alive. .

　　 Until the end of death, the eyes of all the elves were filled with bitter hatred.

　　 "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

　　 The priest lowered his head in pain, and he made a hoarse voice... What is kindness and what is viciousness? What is the right thing to do, and why is it wrong?

　　 If it is said that being kind to the enemy is vicious to oneself, then why are the children of the same ancestor dragon, both sides must have defeated this point?

　　 The priest still couldn't understand this. In other words, he could understand the disputes of interest, but he didn't understand why the ancestors would allow such a world to exist.

　　 Therefore, I can only question deeply.

　　 "The ancestor... why is it like this?"

　　 Twenty-two years later, in the outskirts of the Northland Maia Territory.

After the southern industrial circle of the empire was greatly injured by the war of elves, the new industrial nobles headed by the Maiar family accumulated a great deal of wealth, and even became the emperor of the north. There are even rumors that the Maiar family is in the process of conquering territories. , The planning of independent kingship.

　　 Does all of this have anything to do with the people in the Dragon Ball War? of course.

　　Because everyone and things in the world are not isolated islands, they are all connected to each other.

　　 "Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail, long time no see."

Standing in front of the bounty hunter, Matvey, who had not healed from burns, stood straight. His eyes were cold and cold, and his words were clean. Facing the acquaintance in front of him, his tone was with a light nostalgia: " I didn’t have a chance to say hello when fighting for Dragon Ball. This should be the first time we meet again since the end of the Elf War."

　　 "I remember, the soft-hearted idiot, my twelve brothers died, and you were the only one to live alone."

　　 The gray-haired veteran glanced at the second prince on the side. The young man with long blond hair was unexpectedly calm. He controlled the behemoth Leviathan to stop attacking the mountain and nodded slightly at Mikhail.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, the bounty hunter frowned and looked at Matvi. He said solemnly: "After you were punished, you returned to DìDū not long ago. After a few years, you rebelled against the church... When we talked, everyone felt weird. They thought that you had an excellent talent and a direct line. Punishment would not affect your future promotion. Why did you defect?"

　　 "Now that I want to come, you have already taken refuge in the royal family at that time, and become the dog of the second prince family."

In the old days, General Kommer, the supreme commander of the Elf War in the southern Kerba Empire, was the second prince’s mother and the younger brother of Princess Isabel. Mikhail had a clear memory of that man, especially the Glory War. His speech is almost vomiting.

　　 "If you have to say that, I won't deny it."

　　 With a very malicious irony for Mikhail, Matvi admitted calmly, hearing the words, the bounty hunter was taken aback, and his eyes became even more disgusting.

"Yesterday, it was you and Zhuzhou who were fighting? Unexpectedly, there was a soft black mist like noodles on the battlefield, but now you will be so desperate-didn't you even kill the children? Now turn your head and kill. But it's so skilled."

This is the matter of turning his gun to attack the young hunter Fendt before satirizing Matvey. Mikhail has been paying attention to Matvey’s reaction, trying to provoke him with pungent words, taking advantage of the emotional ups and downs of the other party to seize the opportunity. go away.

　　 But he found with regret that the other party hadn't wavered at all.

　　 "Stop talking nonsense, Mikhail, my partner is monitoring your every move in the sky, you can't escape anyway."

　　 Says this, Matvey’s tone is as hard as a rock: “The reason why we don’t kill you right away is that you just think you can win.”

　　 "You were also a party to the elven war that year. I know your wishes very well. I think our goals are quite the same."

　　 Mikhail looked startled, then narrowed his eyes and stared at the two flying in the sky, he seemed to want to laugh, but in the end he just gave a cold snort.

　　 "Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail."

And this time, it was the second prince, Kumor Kelba, whose tone was still instinctive, derived from the lofty superiority of the dragon royal family, but he was indeed full of sincerity: "The start of the war of elves, let The vitality of the empire was severely damaged, and the south turned from prosperity to decline. I witnessed all this with my own eyes and saw the limitations of this country."

　　 "Clearly possessing absolute material and technological advantages, the empire has never been able to defeat the pointed ears in the forest-I used to wonder about this, but then I figured it out.

The elves fought bloody, desperate for their own race and land. This nationalist spirit is a more advanced idea than our empire. The empire of Connaught is not one at all, but we are divided into Southerners and Northern Barbarians. , The mountain people in the west and the dumplings in the east—they are a unified whole, but we are a divided and contradictory group of people, not the glorious citizens of the Kerba Empire. "

The second prince talked freely. When he said this, his face became gloomy: "This is why we can't completely defeat the elves. There is no cohesion in this country. Everyone fights on their own - and my purpose. , Is to change everything and use the power of the ancestors to recreate this empire!"

　　 "嗤."

In this regard, Mikhail just wanted to laugh, he even laughed out loud, the man whispered: "The country that cannot afford pensions, is still talking about cohesion... This country still exists now, just because there is no People rise up, erecting the banner of rebellion."

"Yup."

　　 Matvi was extremely calm and responded directly. Like Kumol, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with this statement: "That's why it needs to be changed, doesn't it?"

　　 "I have changed, I killed the past me, changed my own cowardice and innocence, and then, I should try to change the surroundings and change the world."

　　 "So I went to be the dog of the royal family?" Mikhail remained unmoved.

And Matvey sneered: "What about you? You have been doing nothing for so many years, just to make money as a bounty hunter? You have a lot of love and righteousness. In the end, you didn't make a desperate bet, and ran over to make a wish. You didn't plan at all and bet 10,000 points. One of the odds?"

　　 "Ha, it sounds like the royal family will make you change... Wait a minute"

Mikhail planned to continue using words to delay time and look for opportunities, but suddenly, he noticed something. The bounty hunter turned his head in shock and looked at the smiling second prince: "You said you want to take a wish? Isn't it a royal conspiracy? It's privately between the two of you..."

　　 "Yes, the royal family didn't know that I stole the Dragon Ball."

With that said, Kumor stretched out his hand, and in an instant, the dragon ball inscribed with the weird book totem hidden in Mikhail's arms suddenly disappeared, and then recondensed in the hands of the second prince. He smiled and said: "Dragon Ball Acknowledge me, this is how I am, take it out of the treasure house."

"Now the Dragon Ball War has begun. About tomorrow, the night shadow troops sent by the father to behead my rebellious son will be in the north-but by then, everything is over. I will give him this great gift. ."

　　 "Surrender, Mikhail."

Regarding the silent bounty hunter, the second prince magnanimously said: "After I become the emperor, I will definitely change this empire and bring a new order to this land-I don't need to hide it from you, if it weren't for the sudden walking alone, The Maia family in the Northland is also my ally, and there is also a dragon ball holder. I gave her dragon ball secretly, and I definitely don't mind joining my banner."

"Except for you, Vika on behalf of the church, and the boy in the mountain who accidentally got the dragon ball, I have already got four dragon balls, and the boy in the mountain has already died for the first time, and the lone candle day was seriously injured. Worry, you and Vika are the only remaining threats."

Speaking softly, for many years, the second prince who has been treating people with a frivolous appearance, but secretly collected four dragon balls, showed wise eyes. He confidently persuaded: "Join my banner and let us change together. This empire and the world!"

　　 "I swear an oath to the ancestors-Kumor Kelba will strive to make this country better throughout his life!"

　　 The oath is sonorous and powerful.

　　In a world where the ancestor still has miracles, no one dares to abandon the oath made in the name of the ancestor. This is the oath of the **** destined to keep the promise.

　　 Everything is silent.

　　 The huge Leviathan stared at the gray-haired man standing on the mountainside.

　　 A middle-aged veteran, the strongest bounty hunter bowed his head blankly.

　　——Why did I come here to participate in this war of desire?

　　 Isn’t it just to change this country and the world?

Kumor and Matvi are very familiar with these two people. Although they can say acrid irony, it is because they have both experienced the **** 20 years ago, so he understands that the other party's beliefs are also absolute. Not false.

　　 To change this country, although the methods I want to use are different, but the purpose is the same. As long as there are blessings and wishes from the ancestors, all problems can be overcome.

　　At this moment, Mikhail suddenly recalled the battlefield of the past, a comrade-in-arms who died rather than alive because of meaningless wars, and there was nothing he could do, so he could only pick up the blade and liberate them.

　　 The world should not be like this. His heart was roaring at that time. As a soldier, he felt that war and death were not unacceptable, but it should not be this kind of war and this kind of death.

Mikhail still remembers how Matvi was crying after he was rescued. The young priest asked everyone bitterly and sadly at that time. He asked, this painful and mutually torturing everything, is it the ancestor who created all living beings? The purpose?

　　 At that time, Mikhail’s answer in his mind was naturally ‘no’.

　　 Just because he remembered the answer in his heart that day, he felt that someone who would shed such tears might be worthy of trust.

　　 Above the sky, the silent prince and the always calm priest looked down at each other, waiting for their answer.

"last question."

　　 After ten long seconds, Mikhail slowly raised his head, and the tired-faced veteran asked softly: "You become the emperor, after you change this empire... can you guarantee the same for your descendants?"

　　 "...I will educate them, but this kind of thing..."

The prince was taken aback for a moment. He is not even the prince now. How could he think of the problem of becoming an emperor and descendants after death, so he hesitated a little, and then slowly shook his head: "At least it will be better than now, won't it? You can rule the country as a monarch and establish a constitution, but I don’t know about this...

　　 "So, as long as the emperor still exists, this problem is unsolvable."

　　 Slowly raised his head, Mikhail’s voice was a little sad: "Perhaps you can indeed become Mingjun, but what about the next generation? What about the generation after generation? Do you have to repeat this reincarnation?"

　　 "I don't know the order I want, but it's definitely not the case. The ‘change’ of changing the soup without changing the medicine!"

　　 Without any hesitation, the bounty hunter stretched his hand into his arms and grabbed the dragon ball that was inscribed with the ‘World Serpent’, his gaze became fierce and firm in an instant.

　　 "Kumor and Matvey, I refuse your invitation!"

　　 "Really, it's a pity."

　　 With a long sigh, without any hesitation, Matvi and the second prince, who were ready for battle earlier than Mikhail, attacked at the same time with their dragon.

The huge Leviathan uttered a roar, and just before the roar rang through the world, the bounty hunter was shocked to find that countless translucent and overlapped'human figures' appeared around him, firmly restraining him. Every part of the body.

　　 "This, what power is this? Leviathan? But how could Leviathan—"

　　 "This is Leviathan, but it's not Leviathan either."

　　 For Mikhail's doubts, Kumor didn't mean to explain, he just drew his gun from his waist, and aimed at Mikhail, who was held down by the layers of figures.

——Leviathan, a behemoth in the sea, originated from the legend of the mother **** Tiamat in ancient Sumerian mythology, and a behemoth basilisk born in the Hebrew land. Its original image is The coiled snake that symbolizes the maelstrom of the sea.

However, the form of Leviathan is changeable. As the prototype of the symbol of the "big sea beast", sometimes it is derived from the seven-headed serpent, sometimes it is derived from the mountain behemoth like a whale, and sometimes it is The hovering snake entwined in the sea, the scaly giant crocodile spouting flames.

　　 It is jealousy, distortion, and whirlpool.

　　Naturally, it can also be a ‘human’, a ‘country’, and a ‘behemoth made up of people’.

　　 Just like countless myths and legends, using the name "Leviathan" to give meaning to the behemoth with countless images.

　　 Hundreds of years ago, a scholar once again used this name in his work and used it as a metaphor for ‘country’.

　　 "Leviathan, or the essence, form and power of church state and citizen state"

　　 or translated as "Giant Ling Lun"

Human power, if scattered, is so fragile, human groups without cohesion are as fragile as biscuits. Therefore, human beings will always be united and cohesive, just like the fish in the sea. To protect yourself.

　　 But when a school of fish becomes a whole, part of the fish must be protected and part of the fish must be sacrificed, just as a hero can raise a sharp sword to protect the masses, or grow dragon scales to oppress the masses.

But even so, human beings are still so tirelessly creating such a behemoth, creating a'Leviathan' condensed by humans. At the beginning, it represented the family, the tribe, and the city-states, and in the end, They created their final creation-a behemoth that allows everyone to have a sense of belonging and cohesion.

　　 ‘country’.

Kelba Empire, the second prince Kumor Kelba, whose dragon ball summons is not the "sea monster Leviathan". He chose to abandon all the myths and legends of Levi’s natural divine power, whether it is the mighty power that can stir the sea, It was also a demon that symbolized jealousy. He abandoned them all, and then equated it with the country of the'Kerba Empire'. This summoned this'humane dragon' that only the royal blood could summon.

At this moment, the huge Leviathan showed his true appearance-it was a huge school of fishes composed of countless translucent figures and translucent souls, all originated from the Kerba Empire, which occupies the world. Most of the national heroic souls, part of their power has been put into this beast. His power is not a human being in the Mikhail area. Even Yemengade was suppressed in the spiritual world and could not move.

　　 Kumor’s magic spear has begun to charge, and the sacred light summoned by Matvey has begun to shine.

　　 Death is approaching, time seems to be slowing down countless times.

　　 Until this moment, Mikhail finally understood that he really had no chance of winning, and his path would end at this time.

　　 There are many, many things left to do... I can’t die. If I die, who will support the elderly whose sons died in the war? Who will support the wives and mothers who have lost their husbands and sons? Who will take care of the children whose fathers have died and cannot accept what happened?

　　 This world may be changed by someone in the end, but those who only I care about, they...what will happen to them?

　　 Although there are countless unwillingnesses in his heart, in the depths of Mikhail's heart, he suddenly felt that something was unlocked.

……Yup.

　　 At least, the war is over.

　　 When facing death, the veteran sighed, then smiled in relief.

　　——Finally, I can face the things that torment me.

The shadow of the glorious war covered the earth, countless comrades died tragically in an unfamiliar foreign land, faced with a widow who had to bear grief alone, facing the world alone, there was no way to start, no way to change, until the hair was gray and wrinkled Hengsheng, the world has not changed at all.

The years of walking in blood have become Mikhail’s nightmare. The war that took place in the Elven Forest 20 years ago may have been over, but the war in his heart has not stopped, and it lingers in his soul all the time. Among.

　　 Pursuing dreams from wishes, pouring everything into the tiny hope of ‘gathering dragon balls’ and wishing to the first ancestor is his last redemption.

　　 This is probably the pity left by the ancestors, the wish of Dragon Ball, so that all desperate lives have hope to chase.

　　 Then, try to change the world.

　　——Come on, death, I'm ready.

All the magic power in his body broke out. At the last moment, Mikhail broke free of Leviathan's **** after all, pressed his magic power on the Dragon Ball, and relieved himself of all the restrictions that he was always in. The seal in my heart that intends to destroy the entire old world, the desire for terror and destruction.

　　 His wish is to create a new order?

　　 If this is the case, then I would probably agree to the invitation of the second prince and Matvey before.

　　 However, Mikhail and his true desire deep in his heart is to destroy the entire old world!

　　 Then, there will be new things, rebirth from the flames that have burned everything, just as a new dawn is still born after the dusk of the gods brought by the group of beasts such as Yemengade~www.readwn.com~.

　　Because of this, he can summon the most ferocious and evil snake that makes the dusk fall!

　　 "Yemengjiade-eat it!"

　　 Laughing, Kumor's magic gun bullet penetrated Mikhail's heart, and Matvi's hammer of light also smashed his head.

　　 But, before the corpse fell, the last order had been issued.

　　 "Then, pass everything about me to Zhuzhou and Vika-tell them the truth!"

　　 So, the next moment.

　　 The black giant snake, with a roar that made the mountains tremble, rushed out from the soles of the man's feet, and his head went straight into the clouds in the sky.

The world-swallowing serpent swallowed its own summoner and dragon ball. The behemoth that appeared out of thin air between the sky and the earth faced the Leviathan who was waiting in front of him, and the light yellow sky dragon hidden in the clouds, sending out a shock of the sky and the earth. roar.

　　 Far away, next to the small town in the main city of Maia.

　　 The little white-haired girl hiding in an unmanned shed holding a human head looked into the distance.

　　 In the red eyes, the more and more active "curiosity" turned.

　　 "What's wrong, Ola? Let me see."

　　 Suddenly, there was spiritual power shaking the atmosphere, and the same curious young voice.

　　 Upon hearing these words, the girl nodded obediently, then lifted the head in her hand and looked at the place where the fighting broke out again.
