Steel Chang'an

Chapter 92

Mu Yun is sinking.

He knew he was dreaming.For the earth was rising from beneath his feet, and the waves solidified into rolling golden sand dunes.When he stepped out of the battle armor, the scorching wind rushed towards his face, warming his frozen body, and he found himself standing in the endless desert.

In front of him stood a very small boy.

The boy was wrapped in a brown cloak, with his hands folded in the sleeves like a grown man, and he walked barefoot on the hot sand.His hair is shaved very short, like Mu Yun, his hair is an unlucky white.

"Who are you?" Mu Yun asked.

"I am a shepherd," replied the boy.

There are many shepherds in the desert.This is one of the few animals brought by humans from their home planet to survive in the deserts of this continent.This docile and stupid animal lives on plants that humans cannot eat, but it can provide delicious meat and fur to keep out the cold.Mu Yun guessed that he was also sent by his mother to herd sheep when he was a child, just like the children in many desert villages he had seen.The boy should also be from a nearby village, but he looked around and saw neither the village nor a sheep.

"Where are your sheep?" he asked the boy.

The boy pointed to the sky.Mu Yun raised his head and saw white clouds floating leisurely in the sky, he couldn't help laughing: "Is this your sheep?"

"My sheep are far away, yet close at hand." The boy said crisply, "The sheep are scattered everywhere, but one day I will gather them together."

Why is this kid so godlike, he just said that he was playful and let go of the sheep?You are so pretentious after losing the sheep, aren't you afraid that your parents will slap you when you go home?Mu Yun frowned, and was about to speak when he felt tremors from the ground, and a gust of wind quickly passed over their heads, blowing away the white clouds.The sky darkened, and the sand hit Mu Yun's face.He quickly covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and took the boy's hand, "The trade wind is coming, don't worry about the sheep, hurry up, I'll take you out of here."

"Not the trade winds," said the boy, pointing to the dunes behind them. "Look!"

Mu Yun climbed up the sand dune and looked down. In the billowing wind and sand, he saw a formation composed of countless battle armors advancing.

"The men and horses of the Northwest Wolf!" Mu Yun exclaimed, why are they here...

He raised his head and looked forward, his heart suddenly beat violently, the wind blew away layers of yellow sand, revealing a white castle standing in the desert.The golden halo of the setting sun shrouded the top of the beautiful circular tower——

That was the intact White Horse City.

Tears suddenly filled his eyes.He suddenly understood what he had dreamed about.

That was his memory, the one he least wanted to recall.

It is the memory of the destruction of Baima City.

The footsteps of the cavalry behind him were getting closer, Mu Yun pulled the boy up and ran towards Baima City.With every step he took towards White Horse City, the knight armor on his body gradually changed back to the leather uniform of the squire, and the surrounding scenery became more and more familiar, and everything was exactly as he remembered it.It was just a dream, he thought, he couldn't change the memory, he couldn't change what had happened, but at least he could see that person again.

Even if it's just a dream.

He found himself walking in the corridor outside the Whitehorse City Council Hall, he hurriedly slowed down, and at the same time firmly held the boy's hand to prevent him from running around, and made a quiet gesture to him.From the light lattices of the gracefully curved windows came the sound of conversation. "What news does the wolf of the Northwest Wolf want you to bring us?" the White Horse City Lord asked in a calm voice.He sat at a long table at the end of the chamber, facing the group of noble knights standing below.Sitting next to the majestic city lord is Mu Yun's best friend, Mu Chuan, the young lord of Baima City.He was wearing silver armor under a white knight cloak, his handsome and friendly face was exactly the same as Mu Yun remembered, and the slightly curly blond hair covering his forehead was dyed a layer of rose-colored luster in the setting sun.

"The wolf master said the child." The knight who brought back the news said, "He gave us one day. If we don't hand over the child before tomorrow's sunset, the wolf master will order to attack the city. He said..." The knight said The voice hesitated for a moment, "He will slaughter the entire city, turning White Horse City into a no man's land like Black Rock City."

Black Rock City was the last city captured by the Wolf Lord.It is said that Black Rock City was burned for seven days by the fire that broke out.Seven days later, some daring wanderers entered Black Rock City, and they found that it was covered with thick ash everywhere, and there were grotesque black figures standing on both sides of the street.It was a corpse that had been burned alive.When the wind blew, the ashes peeled off from the corpse, and the black undead hovered in the empty city, screaming shrilly, chasing the living who accidentally broke into this land of the dead.After those vagrants escaped from Black Rock City, they all got strange diseases and died soon after.Since then, no one has dared to approach the city of death surrounded by deserts.

The noble knights in the chamber were silent for a while. "That bastard servant of yours really shouldn't be picking up trash like a dog. The little bastard he picked up from the desert has brought us big trouble." A knight surnamed Mu whispered to Mu Chuan.

Mu Yun grabbed the boy's hand tightly. "My attendant did a good job." He heard Mu Chuan reply, "If it were you, you wouldn't watch a child being chased and killed by the Northwest Wolf and ignore it, would you?"

There was a burst of noisy discussion in the hall, and the White Horse City Lord knocked on the table a few times before calming everyone down, "Why did Lord Wolf hunt down that child?" he asked.

"We questioned that child, but he didn't say anything." The manager standing aside said, "Some say he escaped from Black Rock City."

Discussions sounded again in the hall.Some people speculate that the boy is the illegitimate son of the Lord of Black Rock, and the Wolf Lord is afraid that he will come to seek revenge when he grows up, so the Wolf Lord wants to kill him. .Mu Yun stood behind the pane and listened to their conversation.In this dream, his body seemed to only be able to stay in the place he remembered, but his mind was not limited.The child stood beside him in silence, listening impassively to the increasingly bizarre speculations.Since entering Baima City, he hasn't said a word.Mu Yun remembered that he was as curious about the child's true identity as the knights in the conference hall.He looked very calm, just like when Mu Yun met him in the desert, he acted as if those cavalry of the Northwest Wolf were not chasing and killing him at all, showing no fear at all.

But he now knew that it didn't matter who that child was, the important thing was that he was from Black Rock City.When he overheard the conversation between Li Jing and the wolf lord, he already knew the real reason why the wolf lord slaughtered the city, but at that time he didn't dare to think about it.He didn't dare to think about why Li Jing asked the wolf lord to slaughter Baima City—even if Zheng Quan knew nothing about what happened in Baima City back then, he could hear some clues, but he didn't dare to think about it at all. that possible answer.

But at the moment when the Bright Sword split the sea, the answer had already been revealed in front of him.He couldn't run away any longer.He now knows very well why the wolf lord wanted to hunt down and kill this child.I shouldn't have brought this boy into Whitehorse.Mu Yun thought to himself.The knight was right.I brought more than trouble to Whitehorse City.It was I who brought death into Whitehorse.

"No matter why the wolf lord chased and killed that child, it has nothing to do with us." The voice of a certain knight came from the meeting hall, "If you hand this child over to the wolf lord, it's over. Maybe he really committed something. Did you deserve it?"

"You can really say such things," someone retorted, "What kind of crime can a child who is less than ten years old have? If you want to talk about sins, the sins of the wolf lord are well known. You want us to kill the lamb with our own hands. Dedicated to the wolf? Is it any different from killing the child with our own hands?"

"Then what else can we do?" The knight shouted loudly, "You have all heard what the wolf lord said, if we don't hand over this child before sunset tomorrow, the Northwest Wolf's cavalry will start attacking the city. Could it be Are we going to put the entire Baima City at risk for this child?"

"How many battle armors have the Northwest Wolf dispatched this time?" the White Horse City Lord asked.

"Currently, there are two hundred cavalry surrounding Baima City." The voice of the captain of the guard replied.

"Although there are only a hundred Thunder armors in White Horse City, our knights in White Horse City are all real knights." As soon as the captain of the guard finished speaking, someone rushed to say, "In order to expand the strength of the Northwest Wolf, even ordinary soldiers It can also be promoted to be a knight. In terms of real combat ability, the Thunder Armor is against the Centaur Armor. One against two, it may not be impossible to fight!"

"In addition, the Snow Wind Knights of the Northwest Canglang have also been dispatched, and they will be able to arrive at Baima City before sunset tomorrow." The captain of the guard said, "So far, no trace of the Wolf Fang led by the Young Wolf Lord has been found, but I suspect that they are dormant in a certain desert near White Horse City, and this assault force usually does not reveal its whereabouts until the battle."

The meeting hall suddenly fell silent, and even the knight who had just clamored to show the Northwest Wolf how powerful he was by one against two just kept his mouth shut.The Xuefeng Knights of the Northwest Canglang are one of the four major knights on the Pangu Continent. They are all composed of [-]-ton special armor. It is said that their strength can even rival the Chang'an Knights.

The White Horse City Lord pondered. He looked at Mu Chuan who was sitting next to him, the young knight who would succeed him as the City Lord in the future, "What do you think we should do?"

"You know my answer, father." Mu Chuan said, he looked at every knight standing in the hall, "As knights, you all know what to do is correct, you all know what the answer is, This answer will not change because of the identity of the child, nor will it change because of how many battle armors the Northwest Wolf has dispatched. The question is whether we have the courage to face this answer and do what we should do. "

"You want us to go to war with the Northwest Wolf for that child?" a knight whispered.

"No, I want you to fight for Baima City." Mu Chuan said, even at this time, his voice was still as warm as a spring breeze, and his unhurried words reached everyone's ears clearly, "I I want you to muster up the courage to face the reality before us: the Northwest Wolf has dispatched the Snow Wind Knights, which means that no matter what our reply to the wolf lord is, they will eventually attack Baima City. Maybe not tomorrow, but When all the cities in the desert fall under the cavalry of the Northwest Wolf, this day will eventually come, and the Northwest Wolf will not let the White Horse City go alone."

"But at least we still have a choice today. We can choose to hand over that child and shame the entire White Horse City in exchange for a few days of living, so that at least we won't die tomorrow; we can also choose to reject the wolf lord's request, To do what we think is right, to do what we should do as knights, to fight for White Horse, so that even if we die tomorrow, at least we lived honorably."

"I am not qualified to order you," he stood up, looking sincerely into the eyes of every knight standing in the hall at the moment, and said to them, "but I implore you, while we still have a chance to choose, choose honorable live."

The hall once again fell into a muffled discussion.Mu Chuan sat down, looked at his father, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if this is what you want me to say, but since you asked me, and I only know one answer, only this choice is correct If you choose, I can only answer like this."

His father stretched out his left hand, held his hand on the table, and squeezed it hard, "Sometimes, I really wish you weren't my son. If you weren't born in the small place of White Horse City, you There will be more to come."

"I like this small place," Mu Chuan smiled happily. "After all, only in such a small place can a poor knight like me play a role."

Mu Yun stood there, looking at the scene in his memory.He heard the Lord of the White Horse knocking on the table and said loudly: "Let's make a decision, is it war or surrender?" He watched Mu Chuan walk out of the meeting room with a proud smile on his handsome face.He already knew the result.Mu Chuan's words finally had an effect, and the knights in Baima City finally mustered up their courage and chose to fight.At that time, his heart was also full of pride, proud that he was born as a member of Baima City, but now, his heart only has self-blame.These men are true knights.he thought.It was I who killed them.

In the dream, he stood on the wall of Baima City.He remembered what happened here.He turned his head and saw Mu Chuan standing beside him, the white knight's cloak fluttering slowly in the night wind blowing from the desert, the starry sky hanging down, almost touching the undulating sand dunes in the distance, countless nights Stars shone above and around their heads.From where they were standing, they could clearly see the men, horses and iron cavalry of the Northwest Blue Wolf, and the enemy line was already very close.

"Is that kid really not your younger brother?" He heard Mu Chuan's voice, just as he remembered it, with a smile, as if his voice could also smile, "He has exactly the same white hair as you send."

He knew that Mu Chuan was joking, and he hoped to make the atmosphere a little easier.After the decisive battle, the atmosphere of chilling and oppression has been hanging over the White Horse City. Even he will feel nervous when facing the army of the Northwest Wolf. "I don't even know who my parents are, and I don't even know if I have brothers or sisters." Mu Yun shrugged, "I don't remember where my hometown is at all, I only remember what happened after you saved me .Since I can remember, I have been living in this white horse city, even my name was given by you, this is my hometown, and you are my brother." He heard some words from himself in his memory. He sighed depressingly, "It's a pity that I'm not a knight yet, otherwise I can fight side by side with you tomorrow."

"Yeah, this is really regrettable. You have more talent for knights than me. I thought there was always a chance for you to become a knight." Mu Chuan also sighed, "It's a pity that my father is here. In this matter, it is not as enlightened as the wolf master of the Northwest Cangwolf. He does not agree to allow civilians to receive knight training. You have to be an apprentice knight to take up the position." He winked at Mu Yun, "But every time you take care of Xifeng for me, you take a very long time and put your heart into it. I think you have learned something after all."

He patted Mu Yun on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, it is a good thing for me that you are not a knight yet. Because I have a very important secret mission for you, if you are a knight convenient."

"What task?" Mu Yun heard herself asking nervously.

"Although everyone has made up their minds to fight, I am still worried that someone who is lucky will secretly bring the child to the wolf owner of the Northwest Wolf in exchange for a few days of life." Mu Chuan said, "In the current war, for the sake of To avoid this kind of incident from shaking the morale of the army, I want you to take this child and leave Whitehorse City tonight."

"Go along the drainage pipes in the city and find the outlet with the red mark. That outlet is located on the cliff of the mountain behind the city. Even if the Northwest Wolf has set up sentries at that location, you should be able to swing with ropes with your skills. In the past. I want you to take that child to break through the encirclement of the Northwest wolf and take him to a safe place where the wolf master can't find him."

He looked at Mu Yun and said seriously: "This mission is very dangerous and must be kept secret. If you fail and get caught, you may be executed as a traitor in Baima City, but I really can't think of anyone other than you. Is there anyone else I can trust wholeheartedly who is capable of accomplishing this. Are you willing to take on the task?"

"Come on, as long as it's a task you entrusted to me, have I ever said no?" Mu Yun replied briskly when she heard herself in her memory, "Besides, the task you entrusted to me has Which one did I not complete?"

"Hmm..." Mu Chuan touched his chin, "It seems that I asked you to clean my study, but you have been procrastinating. The dust on that set of "Knight's Travel Record" is probably as thick as a knuckle. right?"

"No way," Mu Yun said confidently, "Who made me feel dizzy when I stepped into your study?"

He stood there, looked at himself in his memory and hugged Mu Chuan for the last time, and assured him: "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task and come back as soon as possible." He is such a fool.At that time, why didn't he realize that Mu Chuan wanted him to live?He looked at Mu Chuan in his memory standing in the wind, his silver knight armor shining faintly under the starlight, and his white cloak fluttering behind him.He looks so perfect.If there is such a thing as the incarnation of the Bright Knight in this world, that person should also be Mu Chuan.He is the most upright and bravest knight Mu Yun knows, he abides by every word of the knight's creed, as if he himself is the embodiment of chivalry.Although he has always said that he is a poor knight, in Mu Yun's heart, he is more remarkable than any knight on this continent.He is a true knight.The one who should have survived was Mu Chuan.

But he killed Mu Chuan.He still doesn't understand why he is the one who survived.If his deduction is correct, it was he himself who brought death into Whitehorse.The child from Black Rock City carried the particles called fire, and spread them in White Horse City. Everyone in White Horse City could be infected. That's why Li Jing asked the wolf lord to slaughter White Horse City.Mu Yun thought to himself.He still remembered what the wolf lord said to Li Jing: "I can assure you that since we left Onitsuka five years ago, I have fully fulfilled your request. No infected person can walk out of the desert, whether it is a living person Still dead, the vast majority were incinerated before they became incinerators. No secrets were revealed, no one knew why I burned them, my men just followed orders faithfully, no matter what they thought about it Thoughts, maybe they just think I'm a little crazy."

The wolf lord refers to people infected by the particles of fire as burners.Mu Yun didn't dare to think about why Li Jing asked the wolf lord to slaughter every infected person.But he now knew the answer.This is the secret that has been concealed on this continent until now.he thought.The sword that split the sea proved his powerful knight blood, and he can control the sword of light—this is most likely a sacred object from the legendary era.According to the information he learned from the noble knights of the young masters of the family that the common people cannot touch, the blood of the knights passed down from generation to generation by the nobles on the mainland has become increasingly thinner, and they have long since lost the ability to control the giant armor of the legendary era. .Those Feijia knights who practiced with him in order to enter the Yin Ruins could not resonate with the Bright Sword at all, which also proved this point - to control this sword requires an extremely strong knight blood.

And he is just an orphan in the desert without father or mother.An orphan who doesn't even have a name of his own.An orphan who became a scavenger on the battlefield and was rescued by Mu Chuan.Even if he might be the descendant of an illegitimate son of a nobleman, the blood of knights in him should be diluted, and it is impossible for him to be stronger than a real nobleman.

His chivalrous blood could not have come from heredity.The only possibility is the mutation brought about by the particles from the spark.The burner mentioned by the wolf lord is actually a commoner with knight blood who mutated after being infected by the particles of fire.This is what Tinder does.It can create knight blood.Concentrating more fire particles on one person can create a stronger bloodline of the knight, endowing the knight with more powerful power. Lord Wolf and Li Jing call that power "the power of the master", and they regard the obtained People with this power are called apostles.This is why Fei Yu was able to control the God Armor before the Millennium War like the Black Wind Xuan Armor in the Fortress of Death.This is also the reason why the knight blood that Mu Yun obtained is so powerful.Mu Yun thought.The power they obtained through the fire is closer to the power mastered by the knights in the legendary era, which is the undiluted original blood of the knights.He even suspected that this was the source of the power that the Knight of Light gained back then.According to legend, the Knight of Light showed amazing power after falling into the deep seabed under the broken ice sheet. His strength was not innate, and it is very likely that he discovered the so-called Particles for tinder.Mu Yun vaguely remembered that the wolf lord once called the place where they found the fire as the sea mound.

The blood of the knights that the nobles are proud of is just the result of being infected by some kind of particle virus.Mu Yun thought to himself.That's the secret they're going to keep.That's why Li Jing asked the wolf lord to slaughter the entire White Horse City, and that's why they slaughtered every person in the desert who might be infected by the fire particles and every person who might carry the particles.They can't let the blood of the knights spread across this continent, they can't let the commoners get this kind of power, it will overturn everything that exists on this continent, the blood of the knights is no longer unique to the nobles, it will completely subvert the nobles Knights rule the continent.

But why him?Why did Li Jing let the wolf lord slaughter the entire White Horse City, but he wanted to spare his life?He still remembered what the wolf lord said to Li Jing: "You know very well, who is the only person who has been infected and left the desert alive all these years!" What is the difference between him and other people infected by tinder? ?Everyone in Baima City could be infected by the fire, and everyone could get the powerful and primitive knight blood like him, that's why Li Jing accepted him as his apprentice.he thought.But why him?He thought he had found the answer.He already knew the truth about the collapse of Baima City.But his answer can't answer this question: why is he the one who survived?

"You'll know, but not now," the kid said.

In the dream, his body was running, just like the day in his memory that White Horse City was destroyed, and his words and deeds were exactly the same as in his memory.He swung across the cliff and rushed out of the encirclement of the Northwest Wolf.All the way, he held on to the child's hand firmly to keep him from falling behind, but he didn't remember the child ever speaking.He stopped and looked into the child's dark eyes. "Who are you?" he asked.

"I am a shepherd," replied the child. "My name means nothing to you. I am long dead."

Mu Yun was shocked!This wasn't the conversation he remembered.he thought.But the dream seemed to return to the scene in his memory. The morning glow lit up the desert sky. He stood at the foot of the hill and said to the child: "Now you are safe. Go over this mountain and go forward. You can get out of the desert."

"Where are you going?" the boy asked, taking his hand.The boy's little hands were cold, Mu Yun took off her coat and put it on his shoulders. "I want to go back to White Horse City," he said impatiently. "My brother is waiting for me to go back. Even if I am not a real knight, I am still qualified to fight for White Horse City."

"You can't go back." The boy shook his head calmly, "It's too late."

Mu Yun rushed up the hillside.He was horrified to see the white horse city in the distance shrouded in flames.He thought it was the red light of morning glow, but it was actually the fire light from Baima City.why!The wolf lord said that if they didn't hand over the child before the sun set the next day, the northwest wolves would start attacking the city. Now that the sun has just risen in the east, why did they start attacking the city ahead of time!Mu Yun's heart was once again filled with the panic from his memory. Even though he knew the reason now, he still couldn't suppress the anger that remained in his heart at that time: he quickly figured out why the flames of war would ignite now, There is only one possibility, and that is that Baima City launched an attack first!In the case of disparity in strength between the two sides, rather than sitting still and waiting for death, it is indeed the most correct tactic to attack before the northwest wolf's men, horses and iron cavalry form an formation, and attack the opponent by surprise.But it takes time for all the knights in the White Horse City to be ready to attack. Both armor and weapons need time to be recharged. This can only show one thing - when he left the White Horse City, Mu Chuan Ready to take the initiative!
"Mu Chuan, you bastard, you lied to me!" He turned around and ran back, desperately running towards the burning city.Even if he knew that this was just a dream, even if he knew that the boy was right, even if he rushed back, it would be too late, even if he was a well-trained knight now, even if he had the bright sword in his hand , he can't change anything.But he still couldn't stop running, couldn't stop the dream, couldn't stop the fear in his heart, as if he had returned to the day when the White Horse City was broken, and there was only one thought in his mind-he wanted to rush back to the White Horse City, and he wanted to go back to the White Horse City. He punched Mu Chuan fiercely in the face, not caring what young city lord he was.This guy himself was already ready to fight to the death, but he deliberately dismissed him, trying to trick him into living alone!

How can it be so easy!

He didn't know how long he had been running, the scorching sun was moving rapidly in the sky, the sweat was flowing and evaporated, his limbs were so heavy and sore that it was difficult to move, but he was still running step by step towards the nightmare in his memory, towards the dream in his memory. The day when Zhongbai Ma City was destroyed.Burning cannonballs fell from the sky like meteors during the day, the ground shook in the explosion, and the city wall destroyed by the artillery fire poured down on his head. The battle was coming to an end, and the White Horse City's front line had collapsed. Another Thunder Armor fell down.The knight covered in flames struggled to climb out of the cockpit, and was trampled to death by the cavalry galloping back and forth to sweep the battlefield, but the few remaining knights of White Horse City were still fighting, and Mu Chuan's armor Xifeng was among them. Form a circle to protect the last city gate.Time and time again, the charge of the cavalry was stopped, and the wreckage of the enemy planes piled up in front of them like a mountain. The huge quadruped armor crashed to the ground, causing waves of sand and smoke to block Mu Yun's sight from time to time.In the chaos, he heard bursts of low-pitched horns shaking his eardrums. It was a signal that the Snow Wind Knights of the Northwest Wolf scattered around the battlefield began to regroup and prepare to charge.He ran past the wreckage of Centaur Cavalry and Thunder Armor one after another, until the scene that tore his eye sockets in his memory reappeared in front of him: he saw the Centaur Cavalry suddenly surrounded by the last gate of White Horse City. Separated to the two sides, from behind them, the [-]-ton heavy mechs of the Xuefeng Knights lined up in a conical formation rushed out of the rolling yellow sand at full speed. The rest of the battle armor behind him is taller and more prominent. The head of the battle armor is a mechanical wolf head with a ferocious face. It is the wolf lord's own car-Ghost Wolf Smoke!

He saw the nightmarish black wolf-headed battle armor raised its fangs and slashed high, the huge weapon condensed an ominous green edge in the air, and made a whistling sound as the armor rushed at full speed; he saw Xifeng of Mu Chuan's battle armor suddenly adjusted the torque, pushed away a thunder battle armor in front of him, and turned to face Ghost Wolf Smoke; "Run, you fool!" He heard a hoarse shout rushing out of his His throat was submerged in the gunfire; he saw Mu Chuan flashing his lightsaber, and used a feint to cover up his real attack; he saw the armor Xifeng, which is good at long-range sniping, dodge like a soldier and rush towards Ghost Wolf Smoke. All the guns on the fuselage were fully fired, trying to turn himself into artillery fire and block the way of the Xuefeng Knights; he saw the fangs in Ghost Wolfyan's hand drawing an incredible arc in the air, and the green sharp edge was fighting. Armor Xifeng's chest exploded; he saw the huge chopper sinking into the core power furnace of the armor Xifeng's chest and coming out from the back of the fuselage; he saw this [-]-ton armor he was all too familiar with. It was lifted high by the fangs, then thrown aside, and hit the ground heavily.

Ghost Wolfyan put away his fangs and rushed towards the last gate of Baima City without stopping.Behind him, the Xuefeng Knights of the Northwest Canglang stepped over the fallen battle armor West Wind, closely followed the pace of the ghost wolf smoke's charge, slashed and killed the thunder battle armor crowded near the city gate, and rushed into the white horse city.

Mu Yun opened the cockpit door of the armor Xifeng with his bleeding fingers.His mind went blank, and the only thought that flashed in his mind was that fortunately Mu Chuan never changed the verification code of the cockpit.He dragged Mu Chuan out of the burning cockpit, and dragged him under a section of intact city wall.Blood spurted out from the silver-white knight's armor. Mu Yun wanted to stretch out his hand to press the hideous wound for him, but he didn't know how to do it. The wound almost tore Mu Chuan's entire body. His chest cavity was split open, exposing soft internal organs from under the shattered knight's armor.Mu Yun's hand stayed in the air, trembling, then Mu Chuan reached out and took his hand. "Fool, what are you doing back?" he asked wearily.

"Nonsense! You went to fight to the death to be a hero, but designed me to run away and become a traitor, can I not come back?" Mu Yun couldn't help but cursed, but his voice was choked, "How can you be such a brother! Am I not qualified to fight for the White Horse City!"

"I said, because you are not a knight yet... I promised you that I want you to become a real knight. As a knight, how can I break my promise? Before this promise is fulfilled, how can I let you to die..."

Mu Chuan said weakly, blood gushing from between his lips, blocking his voice.Mu Yun raised his head and let him rest on his lap to help him breathe, he stared blankly at the chaotic battlefield.White Horse City fell.he thought.There were corpses everywhere, and he couldn't see where the medical soldiers were, but he knew very well in his heart that even if the medical soldiers came, it would be useless.

"Sorry," he heard Mu Chuan say softly, "I thought there was still a lot of time to slowly fulfill this promise, but I didn't expect... I have no time."

"The promise between us can only be fulfilled by you alone."

"I'll leave the battle armor Xifeng to you. If possible, take a look at Chang'an for me."

"I haven't walked out of this desert in my life, and I haven't seen the most prosperous city of Chang'an on this continent. Thinking about it this way, I really don't want to be reconciled..."

The knight said that he was not reconciled, but the expression on his face was very calm, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Because he knows that his way is over.

The traveler at the end of the journey is always very peaceful, because he can finally unload his burden.

In the past, Mu Chuan was always at the front, always pointing out what to do, as if he always knew what was right.

Walking behind Mu Chuan is always reassuring, because Mu Yun knows that as long as he walks like this, as long as Mu Chuan walks in front of him, as long as they keep walking, one day, he will become a real knight .

But that time is over.

For the rest of the road, Mu Yun should go on his own.

"Go to Chang'an, go and become a real knight, and go see more places in this continent!"

"Go, don't look back, just keep going like this."

These were the last words Mu Chuan said to him.

He lowered his head and saw a few small white flowers stubbornly blooming from the cracks in the city wall.He stared blankly at the small white flowers swaying slightly in the gunpowder smoke and gunfire, wondering why he still noticed such insignificant details at this time.

Warm liquid rolled down from his eye sockets and landed on the tiny petals.He took one last look at Mu Chuan's face, and moved his body off his lap as gently as possible, letting him lie flat under the city wall. "You guy, even at this point, do you still want to lie to me to live?"

The knight lying under the wall had his eyes closed, a blood-stained white cloak covering his body, and a serene smile on his handsome face, as if he was just taking a nap against the wall.Small white flowers bloomed above his head, swaying gently in the wind.

Mu Yun didn't look back at that picture again.He walked towards the battle armor Zephyr step by step.

In front of him was the lost White Horse City Gate, and he could clearly see the back of Gui Langyan.

He got into the cockpit of the armor Zephyr, where there were still flames, more than half of the instruments had failed, and the remaining light curtains were jumping unsteadily.The core power furnace of the armor has been damaged, and Mu Yun doesn't know if it can still be activated, but the weapon system still has residual energy.Mu Yun looked at those complicated symbols and diagrams. As the attendant of the young lord of Baima City, he has been maintaining this armor Xifeng. He can get familiar with the mechanical structure of the armor and prepare for becoming a knight, but he has never personally operated this armor, and he doesn't even have a knight armor that allows him to connect to the neuron operating system of this armor.At this time, he began to regret not looking through the set of "Knight's Travel Record" that Mu Chuan deliberately left in the study.He didn't know of any way to activate the armor without using the neuron operating system.

There must be a way.he told himself.The back of Gui Langyan was right in front of him.Even if he can only shoot one missile cannon, as long as he can hit Ghost Wolf Smoke, it can be regarded as revenge for Mu Chuan and the knights of Baima City.Cold anger burned in his heart.He saw that Ghost Wolf was wielding its huge fangs recklessly, and the Thunder Armor closest to it made a screeching sound of metal twisting and breaking, breaking in two from the waist down; The siege armor knocked down the city wall and drove straight in; he saw the fleeing crowd turning into scorched figures under the flames of the flamethrower; In front of the battle armor, in the middle of the road, there was a family of three who had no time to escape, huddled together, the husband hugged his wife, and the mother hugged the child, like a statue of fear; Seeing a Thunder Armor blocking them in an attempt to protect them, he saw four cavalry raising their spears at the same time, piercing through the Thunder Armor and inserting them into the body of the family of three behind him. A small corpse was hung on a spear and lifted to the sky, he saw... He couldn't look any longer, a vague roar spit out from his throat, hatred boiled in his blood, and the violent heartbeat It was as if a war drum was beating on his temple, and there was a piercing error report in the cockpit of the armor Zephyr, and light curtains of various shapes and sizes flickered around him in the darkness, and the picture in front of his eyes began to become blurred ...

He knew he was going to lose consciousness.His memory ends here.He couldn't remember what happened later, when he woke up again, he was already in the barracks of the Northwest Wolf.But in his dream, he seemed to have turned into two people, one was in the cockpit of the battle armor with flames and black smoke in the west wind, and the other was looking down on the broken battle armor that fell in front of the city gate in the sky , watching all this nervously.He knew something was about to happen, the truth that had been buried in his memory was about to be revealed, and the answer he wanted to know was right in front of him.He heard a cry of exclamation from nowhere, and the team of cavalry who were busy slaughtering the citizens of Baima City suddenly turned around and rushed towards the city gate.He saw Gui Langyan turn his head and look in the direction of the city gate——

He saw the battle armor Zephyr standing up.

Gui Langyan slashed with his fangs in the air, and the towering and beautiful round tower of Baima City fell from the sky, turning into a storm of gravel, carrying green lightning, and went straight to the armored west wind, but it stopped abruptly before his eyes!Every stone seems to be held in mid-air by an invisible force field——

Started to hover around the armor Zephyr, as if he was the center of the storm.

He blinks.Gravel fell to the ground like rain.The battle armor West Wind rushed forward, and a long black smoke trailed behind him.All the barrels on the fuselage were shining with fire.The team of men, horses and iron cavalry rushing back and forth to defend stopped in front of him in a formation of four. He saw the spear flashing blue lightning, the tip of the spear expanded in his pupils, and it was getting closer and closer to him, but with At the same time, he saw that a shell finally rushed to the front of Ghost Wolfyan, which was guarded by rows of horses and iron cavalry——

Gui Langyan's right arm and the fangs in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.The pitch-black wolf-headed armor that looked like it came from hell slowly turned its head, as if the wolf master in the armor was looking at the blown-off arm in disbelief.

The battle armor Xifeng plunged into the battle spear formation, and the already dilapidated battle armor finally fell down again.

The field of vision became pitch black, as if the dream had finally come to an end, and no new images appeared.

Mu Yun closed his eyes tightly.This is the real answer.he thought.This is the truth.

He thought that he had controlled the Bright Sword and ordered it to split the sea. He thought that it was the power of the Bright Sword that caused the sea to pour back.

That is his own strength.

What Tinder gave him was not only the powerful and primitive blood of knights, but also powerful power beyond imagination.

Perhaps it is more powerful than the power obtained by the wolf lord and the apostle Li Jing said.

It is close to the power of the first generation of knights on the mainland like the legendary Knight of Light.

That's why those sea people regarded him as the incarnation of the Knight of Light.

he thought.That's the real reason he survived.Li Jing asked the wolf lord to keep him alive because among those infected by the fire seed, even among the apostles they knew, there was no such power: without being connected to the battle armor, he was Without self-awareness, he controlled a [-]-ton special armor and shot down a weapon arm of Ghost Wolf Smoke, and he was not even a knight at that time, he had not received the basic training of a knight, Before that, he had never operated any armor.

But he was manipulating a forty-ton special battle armor, which injured the wolf master's ghost wolf smoke.

Among those infected by the tinder, he was a special case, so he was spared and taken to the barracks of the Northwest Wolf.In the name of giving him a chance for revenge, the wolf lord forced him to undergo various knight trainings, and at the same time he must have been monitoring him, hoping to use the data collected from those trainings to figure out what happened to him.

This is also the real reason why Li Jing accepted him as a disciple.Mu Yun thought to himself.Using him to leave Chang'an is just taking advantage of the trend.He is an observation object, an experimental sample.He thought of Li Jing asking Steward Ji to collect the data of Bright Sword, and he thought of Steward Ji, who is an intelligent race who specializes in weapons, but spent as long as a month unable to analyze from those data why Bright Sword has such properties. Wei Li: Of course, because what Li Jing wants to collect is not Bright Sword's data at all, but his data.Butler Ji will never be able to figure out why the Bright Sword has such power, because that is not the power of the Bright Sword at all, it is his power.

And he thought of Li Jing's purpose, the information revealed in his conversation with the wolf lord: they were looking for an army, an army that could deal with the apostles.

An army that could take on someone with power like his.

A chill ran through his body.He finally came to his senses.
