Confession (1)

Alex touched the coats; their soft and warm texture made it hard to believe they were military.

This winter was particularly cold. He had experienced a winter battlefield in his first life. He himself was not afraid of the cold, but many soldiers were frozen to death. However, no matter how he urged, the country could not send winter clothes. On the other hand, the people of Zalambra, who had been in winter for a long time, could survive better in the cold winter, which was also a disadvantageous factor for fighting in the north.

Ola came over and said, "This is from Miss Midibai."

Alex: "Nori? Norihua Midi-Bal?"

Aura nodded. "Including boxes of dried fruits and vegetables, canned food, nutritional supplements, medical supplies, magic stone ore, and cold-resistant items sent to you. She sent more than a dozen batches. I always saw her name on the delivery notes, so I remembered it."

Alex didn't know how to start.

These supplies should actually be approved by Parliament and allocated from the national treasury, but military funds can only guarantee the minimum survival needs of soldiers.

Inger once mentioned that the lack of some necessary elements will cause problems in body functions, leading to various diseases and even infectious diseases, which are fatal on the battlefield.

Norihua should have remembered this and put it into action.

Before him, Noriha did not have as much capital as it did later, and it had never provided any help during the Continental War. However, things are different now, and this is also because of Inger's changes.

These small things will accumulate and lay a solid foundation for victory in the war.

Aura looked at the battlefield covered with thick snow and sighed, "We couldn't celebrate the Winter Fire Festival again. I don't know if we can go back this year."

It was already January 1894, and they no longer had the concept of holidays.

Weapons, shells, diseases, injuries, water, and dry food are all entangled with these things every day.

She now missed the mornings when Christine would wake up, rub his sleepy eyes and say good morning to her.

Alex said, "I guess you've finally changed your mind."

Ola laughed: "Are you making fun of me? Laugh, I admit that what you said before was right, but you act like you have been fighting for decades."

Alex smiled numbly.

He was more tired of this war than anyone else, and therefore more eager to end it than anyone else.

Suddenly, several flames appeared in the distance.

Like a volcanic eruption, the fireball falling from the sky is naturally very small when viewed from a distance, but it approaches rapidly in a few seconds.

It will completely melt this snowy campground.

Ola shouted the order to open the defense network, and Alex drew his sword.

He raised his sword, his indifferent expression reflected on the blade: "I've fed you so many weapons from the battlefield, you should have had enough."

Chijianzha smacked his lips and said, "Every time you say that, you have to do something big."

"We have been fighting together for quite some time. You should be able to do what I want to do."

Chi Jian said disdainfully: "You are relying on my durability to torture me."

Alex said no more and poured his magic power into the sword. The brilliant golden light on the sword shot straight into the sky like a flying dragon.

Aura looked back at him as if realizing something: "No wonder you..."

She was originally curious as to why Alex, who was more talented than her, had not achieved a breakthrough after so many battles, while she herself had achieved a breakthrough not long ago.

It turns out that he has been suppressing his own realm.

At this moment, the power he exuded was definitely not something an ordinary new Holy Knight could possess.

Unlike the first time he broke through to the eighth level, magic power flowed smoothly through his body like a clean and unobstructed water channel, and Alex did not feel any stagnation.

He did not hold back any longer, and when he suddenly opened his eyes, a strong golden light burst out of them.

On January 2, 1894, in Boyi, Saranqin had a shocking clash with the high-ranking wizards and knights of Chugne.

It was a battle that ordinary soldiers could hardly fight.

This fierce battle lasted for four days and four nights.

On the morning of the fifth day.

Something unprecedented happened.

The great wizard of Saranqin imprisoned his own soldiers and almost bloodbathed his own camp.

Why do you say it’s almost there?

Because of this, Alex and others stopped it.

When Leonardine received the order, she still couldn't believe it.

"Her rapid rise is based on the lives of many people. If she can't attack our people now, she will attack their people."

At that time, no one, including her, took this seriously. However, when Alex said this, there was no trace of joking on his face. He looked as if he had really seen such a scene and he was sure that this would happen.

"At that time, Bishop, please stop her." Alex's solemn voice rang in her ears: "No matter what! Don't let her create a ninth-level wizard."

Seeing Lucia crush a Saranqin soldier's head unexpectedly, Leonardine went into a rage.

No one expected that their attack on the enemy camp this time was not to attack the enemy, but to rescue enemy soldiers.

And Saranqin's leader, An Lienong, actually condoned all this.

Leonardine swallowed her anger and waited for the moment when Lucia performed the blood sacrifice formation.

The blood sacrifice camp included the captives captured by Qiu Ne, the nobles and civilians who rebelled against the Andre Nong faction, and the lagging soldiers who were forced to sacrifice voluntarily by Saranqin.

Regardless of identity, nationality, or moral character, they are all lives.

Lucia is using her power and strength to take control of their lives.

Leonardine did a very simple thing about this.

At the moment the magic circle began, she paused time and inserted the dagger of insulating stone into the magic circle.

A few seconds is enough.

No matter where it is placed, the Insulation Stone will radiate an insulation field to the surrounding area, and no magic can exist within this range.

The spell was interrupted, the blood sacrifice array failed, and it instantly backfired on the caster.

Leonardine looked at the obvious unwillingness and creepy smile in Lucia's eyes and felt more and more disgusted. She wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

However, due to the presence of Bixi, Andrenon and others, Alex and his team still failed to kill Lucia.

However, after this battle, Saranqin's military morale, which was not very strong to begin with, weakened further. Except for the Knights of the North Wind, it can be said that the snow on the mountain collapsed.

Ola and Alex led the army and forced them out of the country again.

At this time, Vito's letter also arrived.

On the southwest battlefield, although Li Wei'er's side lost its chief commander, they did not panic because the soldiers and generals who witnessed the truth of the incident followed Elena and were taken away by her. Gao Lingshi made most of the other generals who did not know the truth of the incident believe that Elena was ambushed and captured by the enemy, and they joined forces with the team they brought from the capital to start a crazy counterattack.

In fact, Elena and others were indeed in the Chune camp.

Although Qiu Nie lost his commander, he still had most of his senior generals to hold on and did not lose the city.

But when Inger didn't wake up for four or five days, they realized the seriousness of the problem.

Elena was also a huge problem. Unlike Alex and Inger, they had no reason to protect her. They only kept her because of Inger's order.

Inger left another order.

"Don't tell Alex about this yet, at least wait until I wake up."

Inger, who issued this order, was still a cold corpse five days later.

In the end, it was Vito who disobeyed the order and wrote the letter to Alex himself.

Ola was about to go over to take a look at the contents of the letter, but was frightened by Alex's sudden spurt of blood.

"Alex!"

She and the people around her were terrified.

At least they had never seen Alex injured so badly that he was about to vomit blood. At most, he only suffered minor injuries.

This man could fight for days and nights without closing his eyes for even a moment.

This is clearly an over-excitement.

This person who calmly planned and formulated battle strategies all night long?

Alex himself had a calm expression. He looked at his palm for a while, then used magic to burn the letter. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm going back now."

Ola had no reason to stop it.

But she felt something was wrong.

Veronica reached out and froze part of Inger's body with transparent ice.

Otherwise, even in cold weather, the body would not look particularly good.

The chains of Insulite cannot stop her ice, because her ice is not magic.

But even so, she didn't use it for anything else.

Many people came to see Inger, but they were all in a hurry.

When most people saw her, the commander-in-chief, and a group of Liweier generals, their eyes were filled with hatred as if they wanted to eat them alive.

Veronica would have felt better if they had thrown punches right away, but they didn't.

Although I hate it very much.

No action was taken against them.

Just because of Inger's last few words.

"If I wake up and see them dead, my death will be in vain. Do you understand?"

"Perhaps you cannot understand, but I am doing this to stop the war. Don't let my determination go to waste."

Elena was also lying on the bed.

What does it feel like to lie next to a dead body for five days?

No one dared to ask.

On the fifth day, Elena woke up and asked Inger, "Aren't you an immortal wizard? Where are your miracles?"

Inger lay there quietly and did not answer her.

It seemed to be giving her some time to reflect on what she had done during this period.

It was as if he was questioning her with silence: Are you really taking the right path?

It was also on this day that Alex returned from the northern front.

He drew aside the curtain and went in.

What he saw was Elena looking down at Inger's body.

Alex and Elena looked at each other.

For the first time, Elena saw a kind of sadness in Alex's eyes that made her heart ache.

Still unfamiliar.

That is a sign of extreme disappointment in a person.

However, before being disappointed in someone, you need to have expectations.

She finally caught the sense of disharmony she had felt when she collided with Alex before.

Alex knows himself.

But I don't know him.

Familiar name, familiar eyes.

At first, I just got goosebumps from the feeling.

Later I became more curious.

Even when he was fighting her to the death, Alex's eyes were full of expectation.

He initially treated her as someone he knew.

Elena had never known him before she went to the battlefield.

But after that, she saw Alex as an evenly matched opponent. She identified with him both as a knight and as a general, and she believed that Alex did the same.

But at this moment, all of this disappeared.

The way he looked at her returned to what it should be.

He now looked at her as if she were a complete stranger.

Alex went and sat next to Inger.

He was silent for a long time.

Elena didn't know how to start.

For the first time, she, who was arrogant and presumptuous by nature, felt something like guilt.

She had never experienced this feeling before. It was like standing in a hot rainstorm for a long time and she could hardly breathe.

Alex finally spoke, not looking at her, but staring at Inger's face, and said, "You once told me that you identified with the path your father took, and you wanted to be like him, to walk the same path, because you thought it was right."

Elena's pupils suddenly shrank.

*"Livil was originally a tribe in the north. When Mackaylin was a child, the territory was not as large as it is now. There were several kingdoms in the south. However, those kingdoms, as well as Livil at that time, had become corrupt to the point where they could not be saved. It was also at this time that Mackaylin showed his powerful military force and leadership talent, ascended the throne, and began his journey to dominate. One of the countries he conquered was the country of the current Queen Jope, who is the only princess of this country."

*"There was always a gap between her and the emperor, because the emperor killed her family and left her alone. To her, Mackay Olin was an enemy who had destroyed her clan. However, to her people, he was a benefactor who saved the country. Mackay Olin took over this rotten stall with few resources, cleaned it out of the termites, incorporated it into the territory of the Levi's Empire and governed it carefully. The place that was once full of starving people became a southern economic metropolis, and the country that once had slavery as its basic national policy became a new country. The place was the first pilot site for the abolition of slavery. Queen Jope was also one of the main promoters of the abolition of slavery. Her father and brothers were all pests that harmed the country and sucked the people's blood. She grew up as a carefree princess, accepting their love and the resources they deserved. Although she did not kill anyone herself, she could not hate her family, nor could she say that they and herself were innocent. So after giving birth to a child, she abandoned the child and went to the Vatican to practice asceticism. "

Alex never forgot what Elena said to him.

"Emperor Mackay Olin Levitra is a tyrant in the eyes of some people and a wise ruler in the eyes of others. You are the latter."

"Elena, these are all the stories you told me."

Elena's lips trembled involuntarily.

She hadn't felt fear for a long, long time.

"That's what I heard from Elena, whom I know."

Only then did Elena realize that there was a wizard outside the curtain who had created a space for them where the secret could not be leaked out.

No one present could hear their voices.

But there was a feeling that a secret had been revealed in public.

These are stories that Alex, who is in Chune, cannot narrate in detail.

He put her thoughts into words.

Elena asked in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?"

Alex said expressionlessly: "People from the future do not belong to the future of today."

Elena lost her voice.

Alex continued, "I said all this to gain your trust. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business. I will do what I should do. This should have been told to you by him... Inger... but now it's my turn to tell you."

"...Elena, you are not your father. Your father's era is different from yours. The things you have seen and the principles you have followed are also different from the current situation. In the near future, the Sea of ​​Repetition will no longer repeat. There is a vast continent to the east of the Onerola continent where we live. There are tens of millions of demons, demons, and monsters. They cannot come because of the isolation wall set up by the goddess. The isolation wall will soon be broken, and humans will have no time to fight each other here..."

Alex's words seemed calm, but they were filled with helplessness and resentment.

Having seen the tragic battle between humans and demons, how could he stand watching humans fighting each other in such a meaningless way?

Elena held her head and pushed it back in the confusion.

The narrative seems absurd, but the past strategies that were prophetic step by step and the various senses of inconsistency have a self-consistent logic.

She couldn't understand why she believed such absurd language, but this was the only explanation that made sense.

"Yes... Inger said he had a prophecy from the goddess, but I think he is probably the same as me..."

As if to prove this point, Inger's body, which had not been seen for five days, suddenly burst into flames.

The flames engulfed its body, and it transformed into a gorgeous immortal bird, flying towards the nearest incense tree.

Alex chased after him.

Elena pulled the chain made of insulating stone apart with all her might. She couldn't open the heavy shackles on her wrists, but she could still break the nails that were wrapped around the chain.

She followed Alex.
