Awakening of Rebirth

The look in Chang Sheng's eyes when he mentioned revenge was the look in which he wanted to tear his enemy into pieces at all costs.Jiang Zheng gave Chang Sheng time to rest alone, or in other words, gave himself a little time to rest.

Originally, she was afraid that Chang Sheng would forget her hatred, but now she was even more afraid that Chang Sheng would be drawn and controlled by hatred, and eventually lose herself.

Jiang Zheng had a faint feeling that Heilong had changed Changsheng. During the months of Changsheng's sleep, how much Heilong said and what he said, she didn't ask, and Changsheng didn't tell her all of them.There is still absolute trust in Changsheng in her, but the expression in the words has already shown that this trust is no longer the kind of trust that poured out everything in the past.

Heilong seems to be very aware of the weaknesses of human nature. Manipulating people's hearts is his forte. Many people know that they are being used, but they are still willing to do things for him, because he knows what those people want most in the bottom of their hearts.

What Changsheng wanted was contrary to Heilong from the very beginning, but Heilong never seemed to give up taming Changsheng.

Jiang Zheng has been thinking about a question, why did the demons know their whereabouts so well and set up so many traps for them along the way, but in the end she was able to lead Chang Sheng to escape alone for so long?

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't dare to confirm it, and she didn't want to think too much about it. She only hoped that it was because she was worrying too much.

But now it seems that everything is as she expected.

In order to take Changsheng for his own use, Heilong used an extreme method - completely shattering all dreams and expectations in a person's heart, letting hatred deeply occupy them, and then teaching her, helping her, and telling her how to get rid of it. revenge.

Now the black dragon has established a conscious connection with his descendants, so his subordinates no longer press on Chang Sheng step by step.

Changsheng...can he stick to himself?

With this lingering worry, Jiang Zheng curled up at the foot of the bed, unable to sleep all night.

On the second day, everyone packed up their few luggage and left this temporary residence, the destination - Kovat.

After waking up, Changsheng's physique underwent a certain change, and his recovery from injuries was much faster. He even gained a strange force that could easily push boulders and break steel.Seeing this, Jiang Zheng didn't dare to speak out, so she tacitly hid it from everyone for her.

Chang Sheng said that it was the black dragon that taught her how to use the power of the dragon. Although she resisted the black dragon, she could not refuse such power.If a person has no strength, he cannot protect what he wants to protect. This is true for the family and the country, and so are the people around him.

"You don't need to explain this to me. Heilong is good at moving people's hearts with words. I believe you can stick to yourself." Jiang Zheng said, raising his eyes to stare at Chang Sheng, until he noticed that her eyes began to dodge subconsciously, and then smiled lightly: "If you I don’t blame you if I betray this trust.”

"Azheng?"

"I only blame myself for losing the Chang Sheng I am most familiar with."

Changsheng couldn't help trembling, she thought that no matter what she did, Jiang Zheng would not blame her, but she suddenly found that if one day she really went astray, Jiang Zheng would not blame her, not for any other reason, but ...do not want to admit her again.

She was silent for a long time, then said with a smile, "Just trust me."

The so-called sticking to oneself is just sticking to what one thinks is "right".Along the way, Du Changsheng gradually realized that he was not so selfless, that he was willing to live alone in pain for the so-called "righteousness".Now she can still hold tightly in the palm of her hand, only Jiang Zheng is the direction she will never betray. If Jiang Zheng likes, she will do it, if Jiang Zheng doesn't like it, she will refuse.In this way, it can be regarded as sticking to the "right" in your heart.

Jiang Zheng couldn't understand what Chang Sheng was thinking, and the only thing he could do was to stay by Chang Sheng's side, reminding her not to lose her previous attachments all the time.

Speaking of which, the "Chang Sheng" should have never been to the Far East, but this journey is indeed a revisit for Chang Sheng.

In the memory that only exists between her and Jiang Zheng, this road gradually approaching the Kowat Fortress is also the way she carried the military flag as a woman, led the pale remnants of the Far East to fight all the way, and retreated back to Taran alive. way of life.

At that time, these places had long been invaded by war, and they were not as peaceful as they are now. Although people often heard news about the attack of the demons from Kowat, they could still live their own peaceful lives.

"Kowat is the number one fortress of the empire, and the flames of war cannot reach us." The people here firmly believe that.

But Changsheng remembered that it only took one night for the fall of the Kowat Fortress. Her father and the leader of Bai De were both killed in that fierce battle, and even hung their heads on a high platform, with hatred in their eyes.

In this world, there has never been an impregnable fortress.

She gently closed her eyes, trying to escape from the things in front of her, but found that the cruelty of the past, more unscrupulous scenes appeared in front of her eyes. In a trance, there seemed to be countless people crying for help, and she wanted to hold the knife in her hand. They protected, but heard a voice full of sarcasm: "Why are they guarded? Because they are cowardly and incompetent, so they should push the strong into the battlefield and bleed for them? The strong have the ability to let themselves Live better, but use this power to protect people who have nothing to do with you, and don't even know how to be grateful. How ridiculous?"

--you shut up!

Chang Sheng opened his eyes suddenly, only to see Jiang Zheng holding her hand tightly, his eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine." She shook her head.

"You remembered something, didn't you?" Jiang Zheng asked.

"You know me best." Chang Sheng said, raising his eyes to look at the Kowat Fortress that was faintly visible in the distance.

At the beginning, she brought those men from the Far East back to Talan with hope, but she ushered in deeper despair. Now, she goes to the place where the nightmare started again with hope, and what she brings back... will be different from the past ?

***

Although the Birds are old, they are still not confused. On the contrary, they have lived to this age and think more clearly than many people.There are too many rumors outside about Tafil and Lurek's murder of the former king, and collusion with the demons. As a teacher, he has long been brought out and discussed, so how can he not hear any rumors?

But knowing this doesn't affect his pretending to be deaf and dumb.

He is a soldier, and he doesn't want to get too involved with those who are involved in politics. As the commander of the Far East, it is enough to guard the land of the Far East. The old man to worry about?

It just seems that the current situation has not allowed him to be alone in a high position.

Whether it's the rumored rebel Flange and the fake princess who have sneaked into the Far East, or Lurek who keeps urging to restore the teleportation array and re-establish a close relationship with the Far East, they all seem to be forcing him to make a choice.

But he only wanted an answer, whether his student had really gone astray as the rumors said.

For this answer, he waited for a long time, and finally he waited for his former subordinate, the "rebel" who is now wanted everywhere.

When Flange and Chang Sheng were led to him, he knew that the rumors were most likely not true.

He has seen too many people in his life, and the eyes of a person are the most difficult to deceive.A few years ago, he had seen the young Changsheng in Talan. At that time, the child's eyes were still clear. Now he is still young, but the once clear pupils have been completely clouded by pain and hatred.

He didn't say anything, didn't ask any questions, he just sat down and asked the servant to bring hot water for them.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, Changsheng was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind to tell the truth about everything he had experienced and learned along the way.

At first, she discovered that Lurek was infected by demonic energy. During the process of overthrowing Lurek, she learned that the demons intended to make a comeback. She wanted to go to Wodo to seek a solution, but unexpectedly learned about the demons from the priest of Wodo. The power has already penetrated everywhere, and all they do is to resurrect the black dragon that has been suppressed for thousands of years by the four seals located in Vodo, Wagron, Eggert, and Ainota.In order to stop the conspiracy of the demons, she went to the Wagron Snowfield to check the seal. When she was plotted by the demons, she happened to be rescued by the country protector Ron using the teleportation array to bring her back to Talan. Companion sent to Eggert.Later, she discovered that Eggert was already a puppet state in the hands of the demons, and secretly planned to use a large-scale blood sacrifice to help the black dragon break out.

"And I... I'm just a sacrifice sent by Ron, the one the demons want to eradicate." Changsheng gritted his teeth and couldn't help closing his eyes, saying: "And the tower that I promised to meet me Feller, not only released Lurek, but also sent his henchmen to hunt me down from Eggert to Volkers, trying to put me to death, and killed my father!"

Jiang Zheng looked at Chang Sheng quietly, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.Changsheng grew up, and finally began to know what to say and what not to say. The girl who used to be asked a question and always looked at her for help, waiting to see how she would respond, is now able to make this change after making a choice of interests. It's true and false, it's so natural...

But this kind of growth made her feel uncontrollably distressed.

Bai De didn't react after hearing Chang Sheng's words, but turned his eyes to his old department.

Frange and Moni looked at each other for a moment, and then they all said what they knew and thought.

After listening to Bird, he stretched out his hands to support his forehead, and fell into a long silence. Several people waited intently for his response, but they didn't say a word for a long time.Jiang Zheng got up subconsciously and glanced from the side, only to see that he closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and looked completely asleep.

Jiang Zheng immediately turned around and gestured to the four of them. After learning that Bird was asleep, the atmosphere fell into embarrassment again.

The old man fell asleep, which made them want to leave but couldn't, wanted to scream but couldn't, and waited impatiently. What's more, they didn't know when he started to feel sleepy, and what everyone said just now was heard by him again. After a few minutes, people are helpless.

After making eye contact, the five decided to wait quietly for the old commander to wake up.

Patience was worn away minute by minute. I don't know how long it took, the sky outside the house was getting dark, only a sound of "Gu~", Bai De finally opened his eyes while touching his belly.

"Lord Bai De!" Chang Sheng stepped forward anxiously, but saw Bai De waved his hand at her and said, "Eat first."

So everyone could only suppress the anxiety in their hearts, and had a light dinner with Bird.

After the meal, Bai De said that he was tired during the day and wanted to rest early, Chang Sheng couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Bai De's way: "My lord! What is your heart, can you give Chang Sheng a correct answer?"

"I once said that the Far Eastern Army is loyal to Ainota to the death. What I and the army in my hand are guarding is the Kowat Fortress and the border of Ainota, not any monarch." Bai De said, looking The middle is a little more fierce: "I have been a soldier all my life, and I have never flattered anyone. Naturally, I don't want to participate in your power game. The Far Eastern Army will always be the Far Eastern Army and cannot become the uprising you think military!"

"grown ups……"

Bai De didn't want to hear Chang Sheng finish his sentence: "Since its establishment, this army has never left the Far East, because the demons are eyeing Ainota. The Far East must never abandon the important line of defense. It must stay in the Far East!"

Frange quickly walked up to Bird, knelt down on one knee, raised his head and said with firm eyes: "Lord Bird is the person Frange respects the most in his life, and now Zhongliang is cornered by a wolf-hearted man. Do you want to sit idly by?"

Mo Ni also quickly knelt down: "My lord, you are not only helping His Highness Changsheng, but also His Highness Mingluo and the entire Southwest Army who are being watched by Lurek!"

"Army! It can protect everything, and it can also destroy everything! How others use it has nothing to do with me. In my hands, it should not become a weapon for those in power to fight for power!"

Lackey also couldn't help but said: "Lord Bird, if the black dragon is resurrected, it will not only be Ainota that will be in trouble, but the entire El and the continent... My country, Eggert, has already fallen into it."

"The Far East is barren, and the Far East Army cannot do without Talan's supplies." Bai De's eyes were sharp, "An army that has been cut off from supplies can't even defend a city, how can it save the entire Er and the mainland you are talking about? "

Jiang Zheng raised his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Lurek has colluded with the demons. In the future, the demons will suppress the land. Far East will be the first abandoned son he uses to curry favor with the black dragon. My lord, are you really unwilling to fight with your back?"

Bai De couldn't help being speechless, and after a while, he took a deep breath weakly, and said: "Although I am old, I still know better than you how capable an army is... How sure are you of victory? Why do you let the men of the Far East Army accompany you to take the risk of a narrow escape?"

"There are some things that cannot be done by humans. If you can't keep what is in front of you, how can you have great ambitions to protect more?" Chang Sheng and Frange staggered away: "You go, I will not mention today's matter to the king."

This is the person Tafil trusts?Is this the old Southwest commander whom everyone respected?Now that I am old, I only look at the present, not the future, so stubborn, how can I still have half the majesty of the past!

Frange stared at his back for a long time, and became more and more angry in his heart. He couldn't help but think of what Tafil had said, and couldn't help shouting out in resentment: "I'm a soldier! But I don't have an army to protect my country!"

Bird couldn't help but stop, and after a long silence, he said, "Frange, come with me."

Frange couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then caught up with Bird under the surprised and somewhat pleasant eyes of Chang Sheng and others.

Bai De led him into the study, turned around and asked him, "Did you say that sentence from the bottom of your heart?"

"My lord, I..." Franke didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Who said it?" Bird changed the question.

Frange said in shock: "My lord, this subordinate doesn't understand!"

"Frange, don't think I'm being stupid." Bai De said, sat down on a stool beside him, and sighed, "That sentence doesn't match your temperament, but it seems like something Tafil would say."

Franke was instantly alert.

"My only student, I don't understand?" Bai De said, looking at Frange with his eyes like a torch: "You really betrayed him?"

Frange didn't know why, but under such eyes, he couldn't tell a single lie. After hesitating for a while, he knelt down and bowed his head, saying, "Second Highness... I have some difficulties."

"He asked you to come?"

Franke didn't dare to look up: "Yes."

"He is ready to bear all the charges?"

Frank gritted his teeth, "Yes!"

"Why don't you let the princess know?"

Frange clenched his fists and his eyes were red: "The mistakes I have made cannot be made up for. It is better for the princess to simply hate like this than to struggle endlessly between revenge and forgiveness."

"Tafel, it really hasn't changed at all." Bai De couldn't help getting up, walked to the window, looked in Talan's direction, and murmured: "He is a soldier, but he has no army."

After a long silence, he smiled wryly and said, "Unexpectedly, my student is still fighting without an army in his hands."

He does not believe that there is no selfishness in the "righteousness" represented by Changsheng and Mingluo, but he only believes in the students he has taught himself, because he has long been convinced that Tafil is a real soldier, and the army is in the hands of soldiers. It will not become a weapon for fighting for power, but a fortress that truly defends the country.

"Go and tell Princess Changsheng that from now on, the Far East Army will swear allegiance to her to the death!"

Frange couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and he kowtowed several times, and when he looked up again, his face was already full of tears.
