Rose-colored bloodstains ooze from the livid sky. A man in battle armor stands alone in the pale morning light. The light prints his shadow on the undulating and stretching sand. The solitary black outline is like a thin piece of paper. The film is stretched to the distant and unreachable horizon.Black smoke curled up behind him, and in some places the fire had not been completely extinguished, and the dead trees that had been burned into black charcoal could not bear their own weight, and collapsed suddenly, and little sparks drifted away with the smoke.The sporadic screams and bloody smell were brought over by the breeze, and the soldiers of the Haru Empire were cleaning up the battlefield.

A fierce battle had just ended. Thanatos first attacked with water, forcing the enemy into the valley, and then poured a large amount of kerosene into the water to ignite. The fire spread rapidly. The high temperature and smoke made the enemy into chaos. Flock to the only way out.The imperial army ambushed at the exit and took this opportunity to wipe out most of the enemies.However, the gap in numbers between the two sides was too great. In the melee, about two-fifths of the barbarian soldiers broke through the encirclement, but the skeleton army never appeared.

In fact, Thanatos didn't care about the remnants of the barbarians who had escaped from the siege. The real troublesome opponents were not them, but those skeleton soldiers who were elusive.They don't need to eat and don't know how to get tired. Unlike ordinary troops, they don't have to be dragged down by baggage. They move stealthily and have amazing mobility. They can suddenly appear in any place, making it difficult to guard against.More importantly, the long-standing belief in the God of Light made the people of the Haru Empire resent and fear the dark forces. Many soldiers did not even have the courage to take up arms to resist in the face of this terrible dead creature.

"My lord." Bai stopped three steps away.His body was still stained with blood, and his eyes were slightly blue-black, and his whole body showed an unconcealable tiredness due to days of fighting: "Andre Elgernon, the commander of the Second Army of the Northern Military Region, led the army to come Reinforcement. Do you want to see him now?"

"Andre, is it Alfred's old department?" Thanatos narrowed his eyes slightly, turned and walked towards the camp: "Bring him here."

When Marshal Alfred was declared rebellious by His Majesty the Emperor, Andre Algernon immediately stood on the side of the royal family with a clear banner, so he saved the greatest extent in the storm that swallowed countless lives. own strength.

Some people say he is mean and shameless, some people say he betrays his master for glory, but so what?

Andre thought disdainfully that there are established rules of the game in this world. Those who choose not to violate their conscience and are unwilling to compromise are already dead, but he survived, which has explained everything.

Although it was difficult for him to be reused by the royal family because of what happened back then, but this time—this time is a turning point!

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Andre's round face showed a sure-fire smile.But when Thanatos really walked in, he suddenly felt a chill for no reason.

Maybe it's because the bloody smell on that person hasn't dissipated, maybe it's because of the other person's extremely cold eyes that seem to be able to see through his soul... No, now is not the time to think about these things...

Andre shuddered, suppressed this inexplicable feeling, stepped forward and said earnestly: "Master Marshal, your wisdom and determination are impressive. After this battle, the remaining barbarians should be very difficult." Organized forces to fight against you."

Thanatos looked at him with a half-smile: "I don't think you came here on purpose to say this."

Andre paused, his eyes flickered, and a trace of bitterness flashed across his face: "You don't seem to welcome me, is it because of Marshal Alfred? But I can't just watch the marshal The direct line troops were all wiped out, and the only thing I could do at that time was to endure the dormancy and leave as much power as possible for the adults that can be used in the future."

"Say these words in front of me..." Thanatos curled his lips, "Aren't you worried that your loyalty will bring you death?"

"You won't do that." Andre raised his head and looked straight at Thanatos: "Because your father is Marshal Alfred, and your real name is Hypnos Yar Fred!"

He thought Thanatos would show a shocked expression, but the other party just smiled noncommittally.

"It's an interesting guess." Thanatos said lightly, the light from the fire dancing in his light-colored pupils: "But it's also ridiculous enough."

"Someone betrayed you! His name is Ansair, and I think you know who he is."

Andre had no choice but to continue in a fierce tone: "——he is the real Thanatos. His Excellency Arnold, the brother of Marshal Alfred, changed your appearance at the last moment, so that You exchanged identities with your son, but because of a momentary soft-heartedness, he did not kill his son, but let him continue to live under the name of Ansair. From a noble son of a nobleman to an unsightly The dark guard of the light, Ansair's heart is full of resentment, so he went to the palace to inform you when you left the imperial capital. Believe me, your background has been exposed, and His Majesty will attack you soon. After learning about this incident through a secret channel, I immediately rushed here in the name of rushing to help. I really cherish my life, but I never want the tragedy of that year to happen again in front of me!"

A frozen silence fell into the tent, and Thanatos tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, seemingly lost in thought.

"I am willing to escort you away." Andre stood up abruptly from the stool, stepped forward and said in a hurry: "The situation is very critical, and assassins will arrive at any time. Please believe me, I have no malice. "

Thanatos raised his head, restrained his smile and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Andre was overjoyed: "Please arrange a few trustworthy men as soon as possible to go to the border with me to escape. Be quick, and there should not be too many people, otherwise it will easily attract His Majesty's attention."

"Convenient for you to assassinate?"

"What?" Andre choked suddenly, his brain buzzing: "What do you mean?"

"Auston sent you to do the final test. He has always been a suspicious person." The corner of Thanatos's lips curled into a sarcasm: "If the assassination fails, maybe you still plan to use the army you brought to encircle I."

When the line of sight intersected with those bottomless eyes, a chill ran up his spine, and Andre was suddenly speechless.He took a step back, tripped over something, and fell to the ground on his back.

"Impossible, where did I show a flaw?" Suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and he said in disbelief: "You didn't believe me from the beginning!"

"Your performance is very exciting." Thanatos looked down at him, then pulled out the long sword at his waist, and stabbed him into his shoulder slowly, with a sense of unhurried cruelty.

Blood spurted out, and Andre covered the wound, raised his voice and yelled fiercely: "You can't kill me, once I die, my army will attack, and you will definitely die! Your subordinates just now After a fierce battle, there is no chance of victory!"

Thanatos ignored him, just pulled out the blade and stabbed it into his abdomen, letting the blood gushing out flow over the soles of his feet.

Andre's voice became weaker, and he finally realized that Thanatos really had no intention of showing mercy, and that he was afraid of death, and he was very afraid of death.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Don't kill me, I can tell you some information. The queen is dead. Although all the evidence points to the third prince, Melo, the priest of light, brought Ansair here. Soon the secret of the necklace was revealed I found out, combined with the previous attempted assassination incident, His Majesty has identified you as the murderer. He thought that because of your hatred for the royal family, he sent his secret guards to approach the third prince, and then blamed the third prince after killing the queen! Yes, and Otherwise, I can tell you anything!"

He was trembling all over his body, holding the blade of the sword in one hand, trying to avoid it backwards, all the facial features on that unsightly fat face were all tangled together: "Please, don't kill me, I will be useful to you!"

Thanatos spun the blade of the sword, and Andre let out a tragic wail.

"You just need to scream." Thanatos said lightly, "Because I'm in a bad mood."

Andre's breath was stagnant, and his eyes widened in despair.

No matter how precious the information he said was, the other party would not and would not care about it in the slightest. There was no reason, Thanatos simply wanted to torture him.He suddenly realized that the man in front of him was an out-and-out lunatic.

The severe pain made him breathless. In the extreme pain, Andre suddenly remembered the scene many years ago.

The child less than ten years old was sitting on the ground covered in blood, holding Arnold's body in both hands, his long silver hair was hanging down, his amber eyes seemed to have no light at all, but there seemed to be a flame burning in the depths of his eyes .He turned his head slowly, looked indifferently at the soldiers pouring into the room, and said in an unaffected voice: "Hupnos is dead, and so is my father. From now on, I am Yar The head of the Fried family. I am Thanatos Alfred."

Maybe he was already crazy at that time, but he just covered it up so well that no one has discovered it so far.

Andre seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of his own blood freezing in his ears—what a terrible monster they let go.

"Do you hate us because we killed your father?" he asked tremblingly.

"No." Thanatos said, and replied calmly, "Because I killed my father."
