"puff"

The sound of iron tools entering the flesh came as scheduled. The warrior roared excitedly. Just as he was about to draw his sword, he found that the monster's figure was getting closer and closer to him, and a scattered pressure hit him, making him unable to move.

With a "bang", the monster's entire body slammed heavily on the city wall, and a burst of blood splattered under his body.

"Shit"

A blood light suddenly burst out around, and a three-meter-meter-area suddenly turned into a monster hunting paradise.

The same scene appeared in every inch of the city wall. This round of attacks by the monsters completely defeated the defense line of the Scarlet Defender. At least 20,000 people died on the spot, and the entire city wall was covered with a layer of blood.

"What's going on, what's going on."

The emperor-level commander looked around and his eyes burst into a deep look of horror. He didn't understand what was going on.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and then his whole body was blown away. A deep sense of powerlessness surged into his heart. Before he lost the focus, he saw a monster larger than the city wall pounced towards him, and then he lost consciousness forever.

It turned out that the fundamental reason for all this was that the shield suddenly failed, and the defenders who were caught off guard also suffered heavy casualties, with less than 40,000 people having time to retreat.

Fortunately, when they retreated to the inner city, the layer of shield appeared again, blocking the army of monsters that were swarming outside the city, but there was only a layer of dim green light left on the shield, and I didn't know whether it would break again in the next second.

What's even more terrifying is that with the defeat of the defenders, panic spread completely, screams and shouts everywhere, the originally prosperous streets became chaotic and disorderly, and there were people running around everywhere, and they all rushed to the same place, and they had no way to go.

In front of the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Tree Temple, hundreds of thousands of people who had kneeled down and prayed, their originally terrified mood finally calmed down when they saw the spirit tree that was sprinkling green light.

Ten years ago, the Wannian Ancient Tree was transformed by Xiang'er, but a sapling was left behind. Under the careful care of Eliza and all the imperial city residents, the sapling gradually grew into a big tree. Although it was less than 10% of the Wannian Ancient Tree, it had shown some strange things. I believe that as long as it is given time, it will definitely recreate its former glory.

Unfortunately, there was a Crimson Coup first, and now there are monsters siege the city. No one knows whether God will give it a chance to grow.

The city residents originally wanted to enter the Lingshu Temple to pray for blessings, but were blocked by a large number of soldiers and even used force.

The city people shouted and begged, but they were unmoved. For some reason, their swords and guns were not pointed at the monsters that were sieging the city, but at their own people.

At this time, the Spirit Tree Temple seemed extremely empty. The new spirit tree as high as three meters was trembling one after another. Green ripples spread from the tree and spread to the entire inner city. It was precisely because of its existence that it could withstand the impact of the army of monsters.

There was a person standing under the tree. The expression on his face was extremely complicated, as if he was self-blame, regretful, and a deep pain.

He is the current master of the Crimson Empire, former prime minister Wan Qingsong. He is much older than a few years ago. It seems that becoming the lord of a country is not as easy as imagined.

"Why do you do this, why don't you want to go with me? At that time, you would rather choose an illusory hope than accept me who is close to you, why should you be so cruel to me?"

Wan Qingsong shouted at the spirit tree, excited, but also looked extremely strange.

"This is my home, my root, just like this tree, if you leave the soil, it will die. There are still my people here. I must protect them. Wanqingsong, it is impossible between us. It was like this more than 40 years ago, five years ago, and today it is still like this. My heart has long been dead. It is useless to say more. You go and leave this land that you abandoned."

A female voice suddenly came from the Spirit Tree, which was pleasant to hear, but could not hide the weakness and fatigue.

who is she.

When another round of green light spread out from the tree, her figure finally appeared, and was tightly wrapped in the air by countless branches. Infinite spikes pierced through her skin, constantly absorbing her flesh and blood and vitality.

When she looked up, she finally saw her appearance clearly. She was the real master of the Scarlet Empire, Eliza, the Scarlet Queen whom Tianyao and the others were extremely concerned about.

At this moment, there was no blood on her face, and her originally beautiful face had already disappeared. She had lost several times and could not even open her eyes. A sensation of dusk encircled her body, which was heartbreaking.

Although she is suffering from indescribable pain, she has already prepared for sacrifice for the sake of the country and the people. But she doesn't know how long she can last, and whether there will be a miracle.

Seeing the beloved being tortured like this, for Wan Qingsong, the pain was simply unimaginable.

Back then, he tried his best to prevent Eliza and Yun Che from falling in love, and later delayed Eliza's chance to rescue Yun Che. He originally thought that Yun Che's death would be the beginning of his happiness, but he expected that Eliza's feelings for Yun Che were beyond the phenomenon. He would rather live alone than betray his love for Yun Che.

A few years ago, he launched a coup with a reputation, trying to force Eliza to marry him. With a thorough plan, he succeeded, but he was still rejected and deeply disgusted, which made him feel desperate.

But the road is already done, and it is difficult to ride a tiger. Only he knows in his heart that everything he does is for Eliza, but if he does something wrong, he will make mistakes to the end and cannot turn back.

A few days ago, the second change of the sky caused the entire Fierce Red to panic again. Soon, news of the monster siege came from all directions, but before he could make arrangements, the surrounding Fierce Red Imperial City was surrounded by a army of monsters.

The 100,000 troops sent were not enough to hold on for a long time, and they were completely wiped out by the monster. Knowing the ending, he decided to take Eliza away from the imperial city as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Eliza actually took a step ahead of him, used the help of the resistance forces to rush to the Spirit Tree Temple, and used a secret technique to stimulate the superpowers of the Spirit Tree to protect the Crimson Imperial City. But in just a few hours, her body became like this. How could he not blame himself or regret it?

After looking at Eliza, who was no longer willing to speak, Wan Qingsong's eyes gradually became quiet and firm.

"Eliza, it's because of you that I stayed in this country. Since you made your own choice, it's my turn now. You rejected me countless times, but this time, you can't refuse. I love you forever."

After saying this, Wan Qingsong turned around and left the Lingshu Temple. Xiao Suo's figure showed a remarkable momentum, and a sense of determination to die.

Behind him, a few tears fell from Eliza's closed eyes, and a gentle "thank you" floated in the air.
