Chapter 746: Promise to Self
Lenglie Valley, the capital of Tayu Province, has temporarily become the northernmost gate of Doguland since the fall of the Ice Fortress, and it is also the last barrier guarding the road to the interior.
Lenglie Valley is extremely cold all year round, with heavy snowfall. More than 100,000 elite warriors from the kingdom have settled here. There are many soldiers standing on the giant wall and the city is full of banners.
Looking from the highest city head, on the north side of the huge wall of Lenglie Valley, the civilian ranks of the Six Kings survivors spread densely to the other side of the horizon. The area 100 meters in front of the city wall was designated as a warning zone, and trespassers would be shot directly.
, hundreds of corpses were already lying in the snow, apparently all civilians who had strayed into the warning area before.
At this time, many people knelt down outside the line and burst into tears facing the defenders on the city wall. There were also many women whose clothes were extremely thin. They left the thickest clothes to their infant children and allowed themselves to
Even though his skin was frozen to pieces, he still had to hold the child in his arms and beg, hoping that the Royal Army would accept these weak lives.
However, like the bone-chilling wind and snow, the icy defenders did not give any response.
An hour ago, King Perseus personally visited the Cold Lie Valley, and along with it came a royal order personally issued by him, requiring all the remaining people of the Six Kings to immediately return to the far north ice field and retreat outside the frozen fortress ruins.
No supplies or assistance will be provided during this period.
After half a month, anyone who has not exited the border of Doguland will be regarded as an invasion and will be killed by the royal army indiscriminately.
After the king's order was issued, the remnants of the six kings did not even have time to breathe. Perseus had already ordered the expansion of the warning zone and continued to expel them.
Those who refused to walk, walked slowly, or were unable to walk due to physical reasons, all died under rounds of arrow rain. The arrows penetrated their bodies, accompanied by miserable wails, and dyed red.
This land of ice and snow.
In front of the kingdom's standard weapons, these unarmed civilians were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. As the warning zone continued to expand, pieces of blood mist exploded in the crowd, and human bodies fell like dominoes.
The parents of an innocent child were shot dead. He cried and slumped down next to the bodies of his parents. Arrows falling from the sky shot directly into his body, taking away this weak life.
Thick blood mist floated outside the cold valley, and screams and cries echoed throughout the valley, like a living purgatory on earth.
Those who were shot will die forever, but those who escaped from the warning zone will face a situation more terrifying than death. Their supplies have been exhausted. Even if they set out to go north, how far can they go? Those who will starve to death or freeze to death.
Those who were slaughtered by their companions and used as food... Those who can truly walk outside the frozen fortress and return to their hometown are probably not even one in ten.
When Perseus traveled to the Cold Lie Valley, he specially took Solandel with him. They were standing on the tower of the Cold Lie Valley, overlooking this tragic scene.
There was no emotion in Perseus's eyes. No matter how many defenders killed or how many people died outside the city wall, it seemed to him that it was just a number, without any ripples.
Solandel's shoulders kept shaking and her eyes were swollen from crying. She choked and said: "You lied to me...your promise doesn't count..."
Perseus: "What did I promise?"
Solandel cried and said: "You promised before that meeting, you were just a spectator, everything was decided by me. I have decided to give them a way to live, why do you go back on your word and push them to death?!"
Perseus' eyes reflected the blood-stained wind and snow. He pinched the back of Solandel's neck, forced her to raise her head and looked at the tragic scene outside the cold valley, and said without emotion: "Why should you go back on your word?"
?Just because I am the king."
"Remember, Solandel, anyone in this world will lie to you, anyone you kiss will lie to you, even your father will lie to you. Promises given to you by others are the most useless things, only you.
The promise you make to yourself truly belongs to you."
Perseus let go of his hand, turned and left, leaving Solandel standing alone in the wind and snow, sobbing. The childish cry slowly became softer, and finally it seemed that nothing could be heard.
...
There is a hiding place on the edge of Doguland's border. The reincarnations who went to various places to collect intelligence have returned one after another, waiting to return.
A reincarnation person holding a communicator shook his head and said: "Since more than half a month ago, Ghost Face and the others have been unable to be contacted. They may have died in the drastic changes that day."
The rest of the Samsaras seemed very silent. Although they were all on Luo He's side, when Ghost Face split the team, they were not unwavering in the face of their pursuit and desire for power.
If they had not insisted on their position and really left with Ghost Face, they would have turned into dust under that shocking sword. Every time they thought of this, they felt scared in their hearts.
"What a pity." Luo He sighed after hearing this. No matter what differences he had with Ghost Face before, after all, the two sides were comrades who had fought side by side in various dimensions. What made their fates so different was their respective cognitions and principles.
, maybe it’s impossible to say who is right or wrong.
At this moment, a torrent of scarlet characters appeared in front of everyone's eyes. They were arranged in an orderly manner, forming pieces of information.

[Negative reward points have been erased, and the reincarnation will not be erased]
[The mission is over and will soon return to the reincarnation space]
[Countdown: 10, 9, 8...]
The countdown keeps beating in front of their eyes. Even though this reincarnation invasion has not experienced any battle, the reincarnations can still feel the dizziness after the tense nerves relax. The longing for the return plane floods in their hearts, and every second seems to change.
It was extremely long.
A reincarnationist asked blankly: "Captain, we have collected so much important information this time, can Xi Chuan's name leave a lasting mark in the world of reincarnation?"
Luo He smiled slightly, looked up at the vast sky, and said sincerely: "The real story belongs to the strong, and we are just a drop in the ocean. All I can do is take you as far as possible until the day we can't go any further."
..."
The disintegration of the reincarnations turned into fluorescent light that filled the sky, flying to the sky like newly born fireflies and disappearing in the wind blowing over the mountains.
