my brother is god

Chapter 153 New Hope
The next day, when the sun returned to the earth, the soldiers in armor slowly sat up from the trenches that had been temporarily cleaned up. Under the sunlight, the dead remains of the dragon and the goblin were vaporized, and their flesh and blood melted. It was a cloud of black gas, leaving pale bones all over the ground, as well as the corpses of soldiers and horses of the Third Legion who died last night.

Under the baptism of the sun, Xin also opened her eyes. The weakness caused by excessive consumption last night has basically subsided, but the devastated land in front of her made Xin feel a lot of emotion. In the past, she saw human beings fighting for the belief of the goddess. And wage war, but she has never personally experienced it. Now, when she stands in the middle of the battlefield and sees the soldiers numbly collecting the corpses for their companions, and then burying them, she also feels sad in her heart.

"Where is Ode? And Senna, Sura—" Xin asked a soldier who was staring at the battlefield in a daze.

"The surviving generals are all talking with the elves in the small town. If the generals Odd and Senna were not killed in battle, they should be there too. Sura—Sura—" the soldier stopped suddenly when he said Sura. Stopped, "Sura and the mages were reduced to ashes together—" After finishing speaking, the soldier bowed his head and left. Together with other soldiers, he began to search the battlefield, hoping to find some surviving partners. slim.

But when Xin stepped on the corpse all the way back to the center of the town, he found that the streets of the town were completely occupied by the wounded, and the voices of pain kept coming and going, with some wailing and sobbing from time to time. As Xin continued to go deeper, he came to the center of the town. The Temple of the Goddess of Life and Death, where rows of corpses covered with white linen are neatly placed, and the priestesses are chanting prayers for the dead warriors, "May the sky leave an open space for you, and may the clear spring be for you." You cleanse your dirty body——" Every time the priestess finishes chanting a prayer for a corpse, the corpse will be carried out for burial or incineration, but even so, the corpses of soldiers are still being sent here continuously, As far as the eye can see, the white linen has been lined up to the entrance of the town, forming a road leading to the sky.

Walking into the church, there are still several corpses covered with white linen. Needless to say, Xin knows that most of the corpses lying here are the corpses of generals who died in battle. Among these corpses, Xin saw that the left side is missing. On Senna's arm and right calf, there is still a very obvious suture mark on his neck, but his expression does not look ferocious, on the contrary, he is somewhat serene.

"General!" The generals scattered all over the church saw that Xin was confirming the deceased, and they all gathered. Ode was also among them, but his left arm was missing. "It's okay, compared to Senna and the others, I'm already much better!" Erde's eyes rested on his empty left arm, he smiled relievedly, and then said.

The summer sun is as enthusiastic as ever, but now when they step into the church, it looks so silent. The golden light is imprinted on the cold body, making the armor on their bodies glow with sacred light, but everyone knows in their hearts that even if the goddess comes , It is also impossible to revive these dead compatriots, but even so, everyone's tone of voice is so soft, as if they are afraid of waking up their sleeping partners.

"How is your side?" At this time, Xin saw Weier who was kneeling in front of the statue of Feiyue praying, so she came to Weier's side, prayed with Weier, and then asked.

"There is no such thing as one!" Veer said in a calm tone, "Except for what you can see, they are all dead!"

"Except what I can see?" Xin recalled the scene when he walked through the street before. If, as Weier said, all the elves except what he could see were dead, then the elves of the Ancient Tree of Life might not even have hundreds of them. Not anymore.

"Well—" Weier replied, her tone was still calm, as if nothing had happened, but the smile on her face was gone, as if she had lost her emotions.

"Next, I plan to re-enter the Ancient Tree of Life!" Seeing Weier's expression that could no longer be described as despair, Xin said.

"Then please allow me to go together!" Weier's gaze flickered a few times, but soon returned to the previous appearance.

After the agreement, the two set foot on the traces left by the flames last night. Looking around, the green color had long since ceased to exist, replaced by a stretch of black ruins that could not be seen. In a month's time, an entire elf tribe was on the verge of destruction. Xin and Wei Er walked on the ruins, but their hearts seemed extraordinarily calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

Because the dense forest no longer exists, the time for the two to reach the ancient tree of life has also been greatly shortened. The original two days were shortened to two hours. guide.

"It seems that this place also failed to escape the baptism of flames!" The two came under the World Tree, and Weier saw that the prosperity of the past had been reduced to ashes, and there was only one tree left of the already withered ancient tree of life. The thick coke, the branches and leaves have been burned by the flames, and the ancient tree of life was buried with countless goblins in the city. Because they were also burned into coke, the remains did not turn into bones.

"No, it's different!" Xin suddenly interrupted Weier's sad memory, "This tree is not completely dead, there is still hope!"

"But I can't feel any breath of life—" After hearing Xin's words, Weier closed her eyes and felt for a while, but still couldn't feel any breath of life.

"But I can feel the very strong breath of life in the still burning flame!" Xin pulled out his long knife, and cut off the ancient tree of life that had already turned into charred appearance before Veer could react.

"What are you doing? Even if it's dead, you won't allow it to be profaned—" Seeing Xin, Wei Er cut off the Ancient Life Tree without saying a word, drew out her own weapon, and stopped in front of Xin.

"See for yourself!" Seeing that Weier seemed very nervous, Xin pointed to the ancient tree of life that collapsed. The flames only ignited the bark of the ancient tree of life, but the heart was basically intact, even the black breath Neither has eroded into the interior of the old tree.

Weier turned her head in doubt, and in a splash of black dust, a tender green seed was quietly lying in the center of the severed old tree, no matter what could be near the seed, seeing this, Weier will With the weapon back, accompanied by Xin, he went to the seed of the ancient tree and held the seed in his palm with both hands. Although the seed itself didn't weigh much, Weier's expression was solemn and heavy, and Xin carefully stood on guard. Beside Weir, for fear that something would suddenly appear and take away this last hope.

In fact, Xin still worried too much. Now there is not even a bug around the ancient tree of life, let alone goblins. When Xin continued to look around, a huge cave appeared. At the end of her field of vision, if it wasn't for the black gas constantly escaping from the hole to block the purification of the sunlight, Xin really couldn't see the black hole in the black coke.

"Let's go, hurry up!" After seeing the black cave, Xin began to urge Weier, who was still immersed in hope, and when Weier also looked towards the direction Xin was guarding against, the ink was no longer there, and she would After the seeds were put into the ring, they ran together with the core to the stronghold where a small hill had already been raised.

"I'm sorry, I suspected you just now!" Weier said to Xin on the way back.

"It doesn't matter, I used betrayal to face trust in the past, your doubts are nothing!" Xin said to Wei Er lightly.

"What are you going to do next? Stay here? Or return to the stronghold?" Weier didn't continue the topic of Xin, but turned to another more realistic direction.

"The elemental elves will help us build barriers. More legions may be sent here in the future. You have paid too much for this. It's time to enjoy a period of peace!" Xin replied.

"Well, I plan to plant the Ancient Tree of Life next to the World Tree. In the past, they were together, like a mother and child, and now they can finally get together!" The smile returned to Wei Er's face, although the Ancient Life Tree family It is almost extinct, but at least there is still one hope, and the remaining elves of the ancient tree of life will also live with this hope.

"That's fine, I think even if you don't say it, maybe Feiyue will ask for it!" Then, Xin roughly told Xin about the information Feiyue knew, especially the ancient wisdom tree and the ancient war tree elves. situation.

"Alas—after all, Feiyue has to be troubled in the end—" Weier sighed, and stopped talking. She just focused on rushing to the border town that can no longer be regarded as a border town, while Xin was careful. Followed behind her, while paying close attention to the wind and grass around her. The closer you are to the finish line, the easier it is for people to relax their vigilance. Xin knows this well, so as the two get closer to the town, Xin's vigilance becomes stronger Be more and more careful, until the two returned to the small town, Xin's vigilance was not put down like this. In fact, Xin didn't need to be so cautious at all, because since the two left the town, Fenghuang was watching from high above. The problem is, it will dive down immediately. According to the current height, if it hits accurately, Feiyue's tear stains may have to be pecked out of a groove.

After arriving in the small town, Xin immediately arranged for the elves to get ready, and then packed all the elves into several huge boxes. This thing returned to Fei'er, and now Weier will receive the same treatment.

After preparing everything, Xin blew a whistle, and the phoenix descended from the sky, carrying the two huge boxes that had been prepared, and flew in the direction of Fei'er. It is also difficult to kill a fully armed phoenix in a short period of time. This is the crystallization of the alchemist technology of all races, not to mention in terms of flying, the dragon is still a few blocks away from the phoenix, except for a few species.
