The night was dark, the moon was bright, in the palace, Elara, face down close to the bed, lifted his hips and waited. Noah walked over, or to be exact, it was Noah from another era.
His body was as light as mist, walking leisurely, his whole person exuded a sense of ease, leisurely like a wise man who saw through the mortal world. He walked to the bed, placed his hand on her flawless white buttocks, and patted her gently.
- The time has come, how are you prepared?
Hearing the high and mighty voice, as vague as the echo of the great path, unable to disobey, Elara was intoxicated, her eyes were infatuated. She lowered her body and involuntarily released spring water, lowered her head close to the blanket to cover her flushed face, and whispered.
- Master, everything has been arranged, but the safety of the people of the world depends on you.
The Noah of the next life saw everything in his eyes, and gently helped her up. Seeing her resentful gaze, he sighed and thought to himself, this little slut knows that she can't do it now but still keeps provoking me.
- Not now, it's an important matter, next time I will definitely compensate double.
Elara Vespera's eyes were disappointed, she puffed her cheeks and refused to cooperate, continuing to kneel down. She even shook her butt
The Noah of the next life had no other choice but to whip her butt repeatedly...
After a night of all kinds of torture, who knows how many times she flew to the top of the mountain...
Before leaving, the Noah of the next life even threatened that next time he would definitely double the punishment.
....
Early in the morning, the Queen came out with an unhappy face. I felt like she was looking at me with resentment ???. I thought maybe the situation of the battle made her upset.
Next, I volunteered to command a large army to welcome the enemy and go to the battlefield.
She agreed, after a week of preparation, I would lead the army to battle.
When I returned, I told Xiao Hui everything. She supported me, no matter what I did. She also hated war, so this trip was not only for the Queen and for myself, but also for her.
Next, in this month, Xiao Hui and I were inseparable. She understood me, I felt very warm, I was very happy..
She was like a flower, like a cool breeze that chased away the cold, harshness in my heart. This life, war, death, the strong have everything, cold family love, human love, all for the sake of profit... For a long time, I have become callous to the rules of this world..
But even so, she is still like my precious warm sunshine.. I must protect her.
The day I went to battle, I handed her over to the care of the Queen. The last words she said to me were to return alive.
I secretly promised myself that I would definitely return victorious. Because that is where my light is.
Leading a large army of 100,000 people straight to Crimson Vale to block the Grand Sui army.
On the third day of our battle, when the situation was extremely fierce, a sudden change occurred. Space vortexes suddenly appeared everywhere. From within them, hideous monsters stepped out, they were extremely powerful.
Both sides immediately suffered heavy losses. I saw that the situation was not good, so I immediately withdrew my troops. But the monsters still pursued relentlessly. 2 days later, our army lost 6 cities and finally returned to the capital.
But when we returned to the capital, there was no longer any prosperity or splendor. Everything was devastated and ruined. Blood flowed like rivers on the streets, body parts were scattered everywhere.
After searching and dealing with a few monsters still lingering in the imperial city.
It seemed that this place was suddenly attacked and fell, the royal family and some of the people had left through the secret passage below the palace. But it seemed that the monsters had chased them and they had closed the door, the place was filled with blood and body parts scattered everywhere like hell on earth. Even though I searched my entire mansion, I still couldn't find any trace of Xiao Hui. The only clue was that some of her belongings were missing, so I guessed that she had left for the palace and left with the empress...
Then I gathered the extremely confused soldiers and encouraged everyone to follow the direction those people had left.
Following the clues they left behind, I knew that they had arrived at the fortress on the snowy mountain 3 days ago.
After 3 days of careful travel, we finally arrived. But looking at the ruined scene, the cries, the misery, each building was on fire... The surrounding area echoed with the miserable screams of monsters.
The royal family crest is still hanging on the wall...
I know what that crest means, it represents the royal family residing here. This citadel has been breached, but there are still people defending inside.
I led people in to rescue but these monsters were too strong. Just one of them threw me and a third of the soldiers following me away.
I was still alive but the soldiers following me were all crushed to pieces. Looking at the people who believed in me, followed me, were loyal to me, their flesh and blood were all over me.
But the other person saw that their commander was seriously injured and they risked their lives to stop the monsters to protect me.
Then a long scream rang out, my head was dizzy. When I calmly looked back at the fallen Snow City, a golden-robed figure flew up and self-destructed...
I wanted to rush forward but then discovered that I no longer had any strength left.
Then another long scream rang out, I completely lost consciousness.
I don't know how long later, I woke up, looked around, this place was a cave, next to the fire, the deputy commander Leoric Emberfall sat there continuously coughing up blood.
Seeing me awake, he rushed forward and punched me hard. Then he couldn't help but hug me and cry.
- General, the entire army only has the two of us left. Everyone is dead, everyone is dead, we shouldn't have rushed forward,.... No...no..
I was stunned, it was my mistake..
- You should let me die..
He stopped crying, turned to look at me.
- No. You must live to endure this pain, live to fulfill the wishes of those who sacrificed themselves to protect you.
Leoric Emberfall coughed violently, covered in blood, then pulled out an arm from his pocket that still had a bracelet on it.
- You're probably looking for this.
Holding the hand, it was as if something inside me was broken, my heart ached so much that it wanted to stop beating right then.
This bracelet was given to Xiao Hui by me.
Leoric Emberfall looked at me like that, his mouth curled up into a smile, the smile flashed, then he sighed, very graceful.
- General, my injuries are very serious, I probably won't make it, I know if we don't rush in to protect His Highness, there will be no more soldiers of the Grand Valorian soldiers. It's only because we're too weak... I know I can't but you have the ability to do it. Please let those monsters know that the Grand Valorian soldiers are not easy to provoke.
After he finished saying those words, he coughed violently, then he breathed his last breath in my arms..
'What is this feeling of helplessness, it's been a long time since I had this feeling.The feeling of the weak, the feeling of having everything taken away. The first time I lost my family, I was weak and helpless, watching everything go by. Now that I have the power, I still lost everything. I feel like I can't do anything, watching important things being taken away, important people I can't protect.'
'It's not that I'm wrong, I was too arrogant. I thought I was strong enough to protect my loved ones.'
'But now it's too late... Why am I in so much pain? Why do I feel so tormented and regretful?'
'No, but that feeling is only for the weak. And the weak will have everything taken away. Only by becoming stronger can I escape this feeling that haunts me. I must take my own fate into my own hands.'
Thinking it through, i promised myself to become really strong so that he would no longer be deprived of everything.
In the following years, i wandered everywhere. That disaster did not only happen in Grand Valorian but also in Grand Sui, Grand Lumin, ... Those monsters were so powerful that Immortal sect fell overnight.
Currently, in the world, those who are still alive, are hiding and do not dare to go out.
I found a mountain valley to hide in, training madly, taking advantage of the fact that I could see the future to collect treasures.
After 1 year, I finally broke through to the Great Martial Master realm. When my mind, body and soul merged, a soul appeared before me. His whole body was filled with a high and distant secret rhythm, his actions were leisurely and slow but unstoppable as if the Sun and Moon were moving.
This face somewhat resembled me. I knew at first glance that it was myself, but in a different era. There is an invisible string connecting us.
He told me the whole truth, that no matter how hard we try, we still cannot be free. As if there is an invisible hand manipulating us. He has reached a realm beyond all laws and bonds, but still cannot escape, he still has to endure some invisible control, making himself forever unable to be perfect. To always have to move forward. Like a donkey being whipped on the butt.. We all are like that, both him and me, and my previous life as well. The ability to see a part of the future is the legacy of the previous life. He asked if the 'him' of this life is willing to be controlled like that.
I silently recalled everything, so that's how it was. I thought to myself, if I tried harder to break through to the great martial artist, and met the afterlife sooner, would it be possible to save everything.
As if understanding what I was thinking, the me of the afterlife shook his head and said.
"No matter what people do, things will still happen like this. Unless we escape from that invisible hand."
