The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

"Zheng Qiang".

Lu Ming stopped and reached into his robes.

"exist!"

Zheng Qiang suddenly stood up straight.

Lu Ming took out a letter and handed it over.

"This letter contains the next deployment arrangements."

"After I leave, I will show it to the brothers."

Zheng Qiang froze on the spot.

He stared at the letter, but didn't pick it up for a long time.

"Commander, are you leaving the border?"

"Um."

Lu Ming handed the letter forward.

Zheng Qiang stiffly accepted it.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked up.

"Commander!"

"You are a war god; you know better than anyone the consequences of leaving the North at this critical juncture!"

"If the monsters discover you're not here and launch their attack, we..."

Zheng Qiang's voice trembled.

"It's unstoppable!"

Lu Ming stopped in his tracks.

The wind and snow lashed against his shoulders, but he did not turn around.

Zheng Qiang's eyes immediately reddened.

He stood on the city wall, watching Lu Ming gradually walk into the wind and snow, and shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Commander, even if you leave defenses, there are still millions of people behind the border!"

"What's wrong that you have to go alone?"

The wind and snow swallowed Lu Ming's figure.

He did not answer.

He couldn't bring himself to say that answer.

The scene changes.

Lu Ming was already on a train heading towards Jinling.

Outside the car window, the mountains and rivers receded.

The carriage was very quiet.

He sat by the window, holding a cell phone in his hand.

That hand, which usually held the knife steadily, was trembling slightly at this moment.

On the screen is a video.

The video shows a dimly lit basement.

The lights were swaying.

The paint on the wall is peeling off.

The camera swayed a few times before finally stopping in front of an iron cage.

There was an iron cage in the very center.

Inside the iron cage, a thin, battered girl was curled up.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and there were obvious marks on her wrists.

In the two iron cages next to it, there were two emaciated vicious dogs.

They kept banging against the iron cage, growling softly, and drool dripping onto the ground.

The girl was so frightened that she trembled all over and desperately shrank into a corner, hugging herself tightly with both arms.

"Hehehe~"

A sharp, triumphant laugh came from the video.

"Honorable God of War, greetings!"

Suddenly, a long, thin tongue appeared in the upper right corner of the camera.

Immediately afterwards, the full appearance of the Blood Fox appeared in the video.

The scars from when Lu Ming slashed his face were still visible.

"How is it?"

Blood Fox dragged out his voice as he slowly walked to the iron cage.

It stretched out its slender claws and gently touched the girl's face through the iron bars.

"Seeing this video first thing in the morning must really energize you, right?"

"Tap tap tap..."

The girl desperately tried to back away, her back slamming into the other side of the iron cage.

"Woof!"

The vicious dog in the iron cage next door suddenly slammed into the bars.

"ah--"

The girl was so frightened that she closed her eyes and buried her face in her knees.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"

"Hahaha!"

Blood Fox laughed until he trembled.

It raised a paw and slowly stroked the scar on its face.

With its other paw, it picked up a bone from the ground and casually tossed it into the dog cage.

"Woof woof woof!"

The vicious dog immediately pounced and began to bite.

"Bang bang."

"Bang bang."

The sound of bones breaking was particularly clear in the basement.

On the train.

Lu Ming suddenly exerted force, and the phone made a soft sound as if it could not withstand the pressure.

He stared at the screen, and blood vessels began to appear in his eyes.

Blood Fox looked at the camera, her smile growing even brighter.

"My revered God of War~"

"I'll be waiting for you in Nanjing~"

Only one person is allowed to come.

"otherwise……"

It crouched down, its sharp claws slowly tracing across the girl's pale, delicate face.

"I can't guarantee that your sister's pretty face won't end up with unsightly scars like mine~"

The girl shrank back to one side, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Blood Fox got up with little interest.

The next second, it smiled at the camera again.

"certainly."

"If you think this only family member isn't important."

"Or you might think that she isn't the sister you've been searching for for ten years."

"You don't have to come~"

"No loss at all?"

"But..."

The blood fox reached its paws into the iron cage next to it.

The ravenous dog pounced on them immediately.

Blood Fox grabbed the vicious dog by the neck and slammed it against the iron bars.

My little puppy has been hungry for so long!

"elder brother!"

Just then.

The trembling girl suddenly looked up.

She looked at the camera, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling.

"Don't come!!!"

On the train.

Lu Ming's pupils contracted sharply.

That one word, "brother," was like a knife, piercing straight into the deepest part of his chest.

He remembered the voice.

Even after ten years.

Even if it becomes hoarse, unfamiliar, and full of fear.

He still remembers.

When they were little, his younger sister would hide behind him and call him that too.

elder brother.

Lu Ming's fingers tightened little by little.

Fine cracks have appeared along the edge of the phone screen.

Blood Fox smiled at the camera.

"Hehe~"

"Lord War God~"

"I'll be waiting for you in Nanjing~"

The image freezes on its ferocious smiling face.

next second.

"Bang!"

The video went black, and my phone exploded.

The roar of the train filled my ears again.

Lu Ming sat there, half his face hidden in shadow, phone shards trickling down between his fingers...

After a long while, he slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with barely suppressed killing intent!

[Damn it! Are we really going to listen to that fox demon?]

[Upstairs, please get the facts straight! The God of War is already on the train to Jinling!]

This shows that the God of War has made his decision.

[Sigh, no wonder the God of War left at that crucial moment when he knew the Northern Border would be attacked by demonic beasts!]

If it were me... I'd probably do the same, right?

"Mars……"

Deep within the Northern Military Headquarters.

The tiered conference room was brightly lit.

Thousands of figures sat silently, only the epaulets on their uniforms telling their identities.

Almost everyone present was one of the recruits who survived the chaos caused by the fox demon back then.

Years passed.

They have become the true backbone of the Northern Army.

In the past six months, since Lu Ming suddenly left the northern border, the casualties caused by the monsters rushing through the pass have been weighing heavily on the army.

Many people may not say it, but they harbor resentment in their hearts.

Even these brothers who had risked their lives with Lu Ming had a thorn in their hearts that they couldn't get rid of.

But after the video was released by Tianmu.

All the resentment seemed to be crushed by a hand.

All that remained was suffocating shame.

*Smack!*

Zheng Qiang slammed his fist on the conference table, his eyes red-rimmed.

"That guy!!"

"Not again!!"

"Such a big thing happened, and he won't even say a word!"

"Just like before, I shoulder everything myself and always rush to the front!"

"Don't you even consider us brothers anymore?!"

"Snapped!"

Another general also suddenly stood up.

"grass!"

"Why didn't I pursue that slutty fox back then!"

"Snapped!"

Someone else slammed their fist on the table and stood up, their voice hoarse.

"Lu Ming, you bastard!"

"I really wanted to kill it too, so why should you be the only one to go!"

"Grass!!!"
