Evetrona's old stories

A citizen was awakened by the sound and hurriedly got up to check.He leaned on the glass window and looked out holding his breath: at this time, a muddy black rain was falling outside the window, the rain stained the street black and stained the bright street lamps, the building became weird and inexplicable under its influence , The shadow on the wall is like a monster walking out of a dream.A drop of black rain just hit the window lattice in front of his eyes, and the viscous and dirty liquid crawled out in a winding black line.ah!Ghost!The townspeople cried out in terror, finally waking up their sleeping wives and children.

The black rain doesn't stop, but people are screaming, and the bright metropolis turns into a madhouse in just a moment.

Batina threw away the scroll that had lost its effectiveness, as well as the empty bag that was originally full of Feng Luwei.At this moment, the streets below were filled with fuel oil—the work of her and the Dragon Riders.There are no soldiers, no barriers, and there is no preparation here. If you want to attack this place, you will only see a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Those beings—noisy beings—have the same body as you, dreaming different dreams; they have multiplied here for thousands of years, but they are still dreaming the same as their ancestors. thing.Now, you finally decided to swing the butcher's knife at them, so they saw this unprecedented spectacle: the black water spread towards the street, and the fire burned above their heads.

The flames detonated the city, where wind and fire intertwined.The dragon knights of Rumis were pushed far away by the strong wind, and there was only a dazzling light in front of them, and they didn't know what happened for a while.

The fire-breathing dragon was circling around the terrifying beam of light, waving its sharp scaled wings and scattered all over the city.Rumis caught up with them, but could not stop them from spreading bloodshed across the peaceful land.

The wind is flowing, and the flame seems to have spirituality—the flame that surged onto the street is stretching its body outward, the bright flame heart is like a beating heart, and its rhythmic expansion and contraction make The flames of destruction spread wantonly, and the wind fueled its arrogance, but at this moment its speed has surpassed the wind.

The asphalt-paved avenues are already muddy at this time. They have trapped the fleeing pedestrians and the water tanks installed on the fire trucks; the canals across the urban area are also a terrifying sight. However, the people who took refuge in the basement were not discovered until more than ten days later—this family, baked by the heat above their heads, turned into a pot of broth. It looks like a coke the size of a child!

The raging fire has completed its invasion, and the scorching temperature is inaccessible. This pile of bonfires set up on the city, even the sky has been smoked red by it.Batina directed this group of unforgivable dragon knights to fly straight to the top of the flames, but disappeared in an instant, as if returning to the purgatory created by the flames - that must be their real home.

Rumis had seen them disappear without being able to save anything, but he was just shocked by the fact and not in a hurry.He reported the whole incident to Golta, but the attitude of the other party was not as relaxed as him - Golta did not comment on this matter, he just wrote a letter truthfully, and rushed it to the far east.

The raging flames swallowed fresh air into its belly, and pushed the raging waves and heat waves thousands of meters into the sky. Batina and her dragon knights took advantage of this amazing speed The red wind flew to the other side of the clouds.There was a sea of ​​storms and flames below them, but the sky was so quiet and cold. They didn't stop, Benlong stretched his neck, and continued to climb towards the sky, as if they wanted to reach the flowing ether and the mysterious moon of thorns. .

Time and space seemed to be reversed, and they saw strange sights they had never seen before—the earth seemed to be rushing towards them suddenly, the horizon was elongating and rising, and the mountains and oceans were like a soft cloth, pulling them and the sky together. With the clouds, the ether and the moon are all embraced in their arms.

Even with the protection of the barrier, the Benlong still fell into a deep sleep due to the extremely cold temperature. They spread their wings and handed over control of their bodies to their trusted partners.In this dizzyingly strange time and space, the galloping dragon knights found a target far in the east—they followed Eve's instructions, and they didn't fly directly towards the shining direction, but towards the upper point of the target.This is a compressed space, and it is also a curved space. The rotation of the ether makes the upper space have a gravitational force, but its own repulsive force cancels the lift force. The Dragon Knight flies on the surface of this dangerous space, but it has reached a delicate balance.

And three days later, they really descended from the sky, once again dropping flames of destruction over the heads of the enemies.

*Lauslow puts down the manuscript and stops reading. *

"Everyone has seen the follow-up results." Lauslow said, "I know that some of the content may sound weird, but after the review by His Excellency Shi Lin - the former captain of the Benlong Knight - Eve's plan is indeed feasible. But in fact, what surprised me the most was not the feasibility of this plan, but other things, such as—" He looked at Eve, "It involves a lot of knowledge that we don't know much about... and some of the knowledge about the use of Benlong is far beyond the bibliography category."

Lauslow didn't ask her any questions, but he was waiting for her answer with a smile and shaking his head.

"Some are sorted out by Lafaqin, some are read from books before, and some... are... a friend once told me." Eve replied.

"A friend?" Lauslow raised his eyebrows.

"She's talking about Vegmanning." Lotilan said, "Duke Hyde's dragon."

"'It' is your friend?" Lauslow chuckled, but didn't delve into the matter. "Forget it, since Lord Lotilan is under the supervision, we won't bother to ask about it. Vegmanning does understand the sky better than humans. It knows more about how to fly at the border of the ether than humans. This question has been answered."

Eve wiped the sweat off her brow and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Eve, I also want to ask you a question." It was Asde who spoke, his face was very bad, "If... If this is a real war instead of a simulated war, would you still use Is this a tactic?"

Asder didn't notice at this time, behind him, Hollyen had already frowned.

"I will not participate in the war, nor will I formulate such tactics." Eve replied with a serious expression.

But in fact, she still felt a little guilty when she saw Asder.

After hearing her words, Asde finally calmed down, and he turned his head to the referee and Shi Lin and said: "My lords, I know that my question just now seems a bit inappropriate-but I still feel that this text report The description in is inappropriate."

In order to simulate a real war, the rules of the game have written a lot. For example, the word "simulation" is forbidden to be mentioned in the dialogue between teammates. After each round, the information returned by the referee contains information about soldiers or civilian casualties These words are not all superfluous nonsense, and sometimes affect the emotions of the players and some decisions.

"What do you think is appropriate?" Shilin asked him with a smile.

"I think the clerk's description of the tragic situation in the capital is too heavy - it is difficult for ordinary people to estimate how serious a fire can cause a tragedy, but in such a report, there is a hidden meaning: The makers of the plan knew the consequences before they were carried out - which I don't think is true; and they used a lot of derogatory terms to describe Batina's actions that night, which is obviously an epithet. Abuse." Asder paused, "This report implies prejudice, it confuses the concepts between morality and war, and it is a slander of Eve Fang's actions."

"He actually helped us speak." Long Ke approached Eve and sighed.

"I think—he just suddenly saw Eve's treacherous and vicious face, and he couldn't accept it for a while." Batina joked very relaxedly.

It was indeed a victory, but Eve was a little unhappy at this time.

[153] Crimson Sky (Part [-])

The questions were answered, so in the next period of time, it almost became a time for chatting, and the atmosphere on the court was much more harmonious than before.

"Fon En, my old friend, I don't understand why you allowed them to do this? In my impression, you seem to be very opposed to this kind of massacre of innocent civilians." It was Huo Lien who asked the question.

Feng En laughed, and Huo Lien's pretentious tone really made him want to laugh - the two of them were not like this in private.

"That's true, but their plan was successfully implemented not because of my connivance, but because——they kept the plan a secret, and I didn't know about it." Feng En's answer caused a lot of discussion among the people present stand up.

"Oh?" Shi Lin thought for a moment, then nodded, "Eve, can you tell me what you thought at the time?"

"It wasn't my idea. I originally wanted to report the truth, but Batina thought that this matter could be kept secret."

Batina took the words: "Based on my understanding of our summit, I don't think he will agree with our plan, so I decided to keep this matter a secret—after the matter is successful, the credit will go to him." If half of the team fails, then the responsibility lies entirely with us."

"So that's how it is." Shi Lin said, "This can be regarded as the subordinate thinking of the chief."

"But as an officer, I don't like such subordinates very much." Feng En said, "Batina, and Eve, although this happened in a simulated battle, you two still need to submit a review to me, and I will give you a week."

Eve couldn't figure out Feng En's attitude, but she still responded seriously: "Don't worry, we will seriously reflect on it."

Feng En nodded in satisfaction, "If you don't know how to write it, just ask Tetrogg, he is better at this than anyone else."

Everyone couldn't help but Tetrog, who was standing beside Feng En, rubbed his nose, but didn't care.

After the game that day, the elders of Shengfengyue got together by coincidence—they seemed to have something to say to each other, so they planned to have a dinner at a later time, and the place was set at Datuan long room.Today, the position of Grand Master of the Saint Fengyue Knights is still vacant, and some of its powers are performed by the chairman of the Knight Academy, Hepned, while the other part of the duties are distributed to the various heads and paladins.

That night, except for Helein who was still recovering from illness, almost all the high-level members of Shengfeng Yue were present.

"Most people in the world are ignorant - there is no position that cannot be reversed by interests, and there is no evil that cannot be prevaricated." As soon as he came up, Shi Lin gave a speech as usual, as if he was deeply moved by what happened in the morning, he said in one breath "It's the same with us at Shengfeng Mountain. Mistakes should not be forgotten and passed over. Otherwise, it will still jump out one day in the future, forcing us to remember the wrong things we have done—— Burning houses and fields, massacring civilians, looting food, destroying precious books and documents...these wrong things are countless. At that time, our ancestors were proud of it, because they were our enemies, heathens, and the people of this world. There is no evil that should never exist. We act according to the teachings. There is nothing wrong with it-after all, war is like this-the inhuman deeds are carried out all over the place, and no one blames them afterwards, as if it is only right. Now? People mention When we mentioned Sheng Fengyue, they all said that we were "brave and good at fighting, pious and sincere, compassionate and compassionate, and we will do what is right"—it seems that we have completely forgotten the evil deeds we have done." He looked at his hands glass, "but we ourselves must never forget."

"Yes, you shouldn't forget." Feng En nodded.

The room was filled with the smell of smoke, and that smell made Lotilan feel a little stifled, so he stood up and opened a window.

Forward wore a cowhide apron and held a boning knife in his hand. With a smile in his eyes, he was carefully cutting a beef leg.At this time, the people sitting at the table neither ate nor talked, they were all watching the movements of Forward's hands with relish.

"The subordinate's craftsmanship has improved again, but it's a pity that I'm old... I think when I was young, my colleagues also had a big appetite. If there are six or seven people sitting at the table, this little food is not enough to eat." Shi Lin said with a smile.

"I'm getting old and have a weak appetite, so I can only make up for it with my mouth." Hepned said, "Sherin, don't bother to talk—if you don't eat more today, I'm sorry Forward for making this special trip."

Everyone laughed.

"Huo Lien, you don't talk much today, are you still thinking about what happened in the morning?" Feng En's words made everyone focus on Huo Lien.

Hollyn snuffed out half of the cigarette in his hand.

"Aster is still immature." He was bored for a long time, but only said this sentence.

Feng En was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"It's the first time I've heard you comment on Asder like that."

"He would ask such a question." Huo Lien shook his head, "War, he has not yet understood the meaning of the word—real war—if there is a strategy to turn defeat into victory, is there anyone who can endure it? "

"I'm not sure, maybe Asde is such a person." Shi Lin said, "But it's not a bad thing. Some people are born with strong luck and can accomplish great things with only a strong will. We call this kind of person a 'savior'. A savior...has a sincere heart and courage. Anyone is willing to work for this kind of person. This is the so-called charisma."

"He's still early." Huo Lien snorted, "I think—he's not as good as Eve right now."

Behind them, a young man wearing a white apron and a college black skirt turned his head, and it turned out to be Oleden.When he heard someone mention the name of an acquaintance, he couldn't help but look back curiously.

In order to meet the boy's cross-dressing needs, Eve introduced Oleden to Forward. Although Forward didn't understand his hobby, he didn't ask too much out of politeness, and when the old and the young got acquainted, there were more interactions.Oledon helps out in his restaurant now and then—but still in women's clothing.Today, Oleden happened to be free, so he was tricked by Forward to come here to help.

"Eve Harvey is worthy of being Lord's daughter." Lauslow said, "Like her father, she is a talented person who observes words and looks, and has a clear purpose in doing things."

"She still has room to grow. If Shengfengyue is really handed over to her, I don't think it will be worse than Ast." It was Shi Lin who said this, "Ast thought that those reports were referees. The team and the clerk jointly fabricated it to speak for Eve, but he didn't know that most of these contents actually came from the original manuscripts she handed in."

"Really?" Hepned was taken aback.He wasn't there today, but he had heard Lauslow's description before and read the report on the burning of the city.

"That's true." Lausrow admitted Shi Lin's statement, "To be honest, I didn't really believe that a fire could burn a city like this. As she said - as long as the fire is big enough and the terrain is suitable, it will cause a powerful flame storm. At that time, even if you don't care about it, the fire will still burn more and more, and no one can put it out."

"What's the point?" Hepned asked, frowning.

"She explained it this way - the flames cause the air to move - like a hot air balloon, the wind blows upwards, and the surrounding wind is sucked in to fill the void. The deflagration will make the pressure in the burning area lower than that of a hot air balloon. The surrounding area, coupled with the rapid flow of air, will attract the outside wind to blow towards the center, and then cause a new round of deflagration, and so on... Of course, the situation may be more complicated than that described in the report. The fire may It will continue to move with the direction of the wind, and the size of the fire is also related to the building materials and construction of the urban area."

"Speaking of it, but I still don't believe it..."

"Hepned, even if you don't believe it, it doesn't change the fact, because similar things did happen in history." Schilling said.

"I know, it's Lapleton's silver dragon revenge." Oleden, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but said, but he regretted it as soon as he spoke, because he was still wearing women's clothing.

"Yes, it's this." Shi Lin didn't pay much attention to this point. He turned his head and said to Oleden: "Since you know this history, come and teach me this old friend."

Oleden was a little caught off guard by the sudden situation. He looked at Forward who was standing beside him, and Forward nodded to him.

"I've seen something related to this in a book in our library." Oleden lowered his voice, "It's about a period of history at the beginning of the century. At that time, in this area On the mainland, there are still countries ruled by dragons..."

The revived Lapleton is a country ruled by dragons. According to legend, there are a large number of human servants raised there, and the dragons regard them as both coolies and food.

A human leader stood up and vowed to turn the alien lair into ashes. The dwarves and elves also responded to his call and joined the crusade team together.

This time the conquest was protracted, and there was an insoluble hatred between the human race and the dragon race. The fierce battle lasted for nearly half a century, and finally ended with the victory of the human race.In order to celebrate this victory, the dwarves spent ten days and ten nights forging a huge guillotine, just to split the unyielding dragon into two—destroy the arrogant soul, and let the hideous dragon's head roll away. Into the matching basket...

"Heroes destroyed Lapreton, but the story is far from over. An old servant of the Dragon Throne escaped when the Dragon Hall collapsed, and has since disappeared - and nearly two centuries later, when When the original hero was long gone, the dragon appeared suddenly in the festival of men, and he burned the celestial kingdom of Elvran - the largest city in the world at that time - and burned For three days and three nights, the city was burned to ruins."

"Actually, I know this passage, how could I not know... I just didn't associate the two together." Hepned listened patiently to Oleden's narration, and then began to defend himself.

"Let's say it's 'history', but there's actually not much that can be verified. The Kingdom of Heaven was indeed burnt down, but not necessarily because of the breath of a dragon." Lauslow said, "But no matter what, it can at least prove that a fire can indeed burn down a city."

Everyone also agreed with this statement.

"Fon En, do you still remember that we discussed tactics in some special situations before." Holly said.

"We've discussed a lot of tactics."

"At that time, we were not sitting in the current position. We were discussing something about Enschmidt and the Eastern City." Holly gave him some hints. "At that time, Grand Duke Hyde was also there, and later stopped us, remember?"

Feng En was silent for a moment before he said, "I have a little impression that we were discussing the value of the demilitarized zone."

"I remember that at that time we were already thinking about whether the air power would be able to exert its maximum effect on the battlefield only if it cooperates with the ground troops. If they were used to attack industrial cities like Enschmidt, the effect would be better." Hollyn continued: "This incident reminded me of this issue."

"If the time comes when this strategy must be used, I'm afraid the situation is already very urgent."

Oleden opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect that these people would dare to blatantly use Kriging's city as an example.

"But what I'm thinking about now is another issue - attacking civilians is obviously a kind of intimidation. Its relatively positive use has two aspects: on the one hand, it is used to destroy the morale of the enemy army and shake its morale; on the other hand, it is used to spread fear and put pressure on the rulers of the enemy country. If the war process can be shortened and the lives of more soldiers can be saved, such a strategy is obviously valuable and reasonable... But the problem is that the people don't think so."

"War is like a sacrifice." Shi Lin said, "In every war, some chosen ones will be sent to the front line, let them kill each other and reduce them-people hate war, but they can't do anything about it-at the end of the war In the end, the population is reduced, resources are redistributed, life returns to normal, and the purpose of the sacrifice is achieved. The civilians are not those who are selected to die. If you do something to them, the legitimacy must be Make a statement first, otherwise, your decision could easily be viewed as an act of terrorism."

"No one dares to do this yet. And if someone is the first to do it, it will be a bad start-by then, war will have another appearance." Feng En said, "Killing for the purpose of harvesting... It should be avoided, at least it should not be No. 1."

"When we start thinking about this, it means..." Shi Lin sighed before continuing, "The era of knights has passed."

"That's not bad." Luo Tilan who had been silent all this time suddenly said.

[154] Commitment · Baptist (Part [-])

The sky was overcast, like a pool of stagnant sewage.

A gust of wind poured into the room through the crack of the window, bringing a choking smell of dust, and the still trees began to shake—it was raining.

The servant Nadraola closed the window tightly, and the world returned to peace.

"I'm really sorry, I asked you to come here in such weather...how can I go back here?" Nazhuoruo couldn't help but babble, "otherwise, would you stay here tonight? Our place is actually quite good of."

"Nazhuorola, don't make things difficult for her." Mrs. Hyde said, "The heavy rain doesn't last long. Let her go back when the rain stops."

Seeing that Nadraorola was too busy there, Eve sat down in front of Mrs. Hyde.As soon as she stretched out her hand, the old lady grabbed her wrist: "Okay, don't worry about it, let Nadraorola do this kind of thing."

Eve wanted to pinch her legs.

In such weather, Mrs. Hyde's legs would be troublesome, and whenever her legs hurt, she wanted to find someone to talk to, so as to divert her attention.Today's weather has not been very good, it's stuffy and hot. When Eve got up and saw the dark clouds in the sky, she took the initiative to run here.

"There are people who are born to serve others." Nadraorola hurried back after wiping off the rain stains on the window sill, holding the hem of her skirt.

"If I wasn't in poor health, I wouldn't need you to serve me—if I'm healthy now, I'd be happy to serve you."

"Look at you, it's serious again, I can't despise you." Nazhuorola put the old lady's legs on her own and rubbed her joints. Her movements were very large, and she must have used A lot of force.

"You... Nadraorola." The old lady laughed.

There was rumbling thunder outside the window, the sound was very dull, as if even the window frame was shaking.

"Eve, are you getting used to living here recently?" the old man asked.

"Fortunately, everyone is very good to me." She replied.

"I heard that you defeated Asder and Gorgon some time ago. Are you so good?"

"It's just a simulated battle, not a real fight." Eve explained to her with a smile, "It's just luck to win against them."

"Don't push yourself too hard, I know what kind of people Feng En and Luo Tilan are... You are a girl, which is different from Asde and the others. If someone bullies you, come to me and sue - just look at it See if I don't teach them a lesson." She didn't know whether it was because of anger or leg pain, but her expression was very angry at this time.

"No one bullies me." Eve reassured her, "Although I've been busy recently, it's also very interesting...very fulfilling."

"That's good." Mrs. Hyde nodded, her face softened, and then she seemed to remember something, and asked her again: "By the way, do you know Ologin? He is the apprentice of old Andwena .”

"I know Ologin, but I don't know the Andwena you mentioned." Eve replied.
