Chapter 1837? No One Is King?

Late at night……

There are no stars in the night sky in the Ningmgfu area, and there is still only the huge golden tree crown above the sky, which seems to cover the entire sky.

At this time, it is not emitting a faint golden light, replacing the role of the original star, providing extremely weak illumination for the night of this world.

And at this moment, a witch riding on the back of a wildebeest, wearing a cloak and a hood, was silently watching a certain location in the distant woodland on a hillside.

She was so motionless, as if she was going to blend into the night completely, only the wildebeest under her crotch would occasionally shake its mane or wag its tail, indicating that she and her mount were one living thing, while Not some false shadow.

And if, if some bad little girl is here, maybe, she will definitely exclaim, and then order a certain bear Tibbers to take it down with one paw, and then press the other party's body on the ground. Pants and a good spanking?

That's right!

The witch in front of me riding on a horned horse and looking at the woodland in the distance is none other than the witch 'Melina' who secretly used the teleportation spell while Anne was sleeping last night, and the other party wanted to send it away. But it turned out to be the ugly wildebeest 'Toret' who was not liked and hated.

Naturally, in the eyes of a certain wicked little girl, it is not a wildebeest at all, nor is it a spirit horse, it is a cow through and through!

Yes, it is a cow, because it has horns, it looks like that kind of yak! ?

Anyway, no matter if it is or not, as long as some bad little girl says it is a cow, then it is a cow, and if it is not, it is useless to persuade it!

However, Melina is not here to deliver cattle tonight...

Now she is silently observing the front, she knows that place, there is the camp of the powerful big tree guard and his outpost soldiers.

But at this time, she faintly saw and heard: a certain bad-hearted little girl was inside, and she seemed to be in harmony with the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the front of this Nimgforin land, and did not care about it. Playing around the bonfire in the middle of the camp, it seems that some kind of celebration is being held, or is it like talking about an interesting story?

"..."

To be honest, Melina couldn't figure out why the little girl didn't fight the big tree guards and the soldiers responsible for blocking and killing the faded ones.

Originally, Melina thought that as long as she sent the little girl to the guiding place and let the white mask guide her for a while, the other party would definitely conflict with the big tree guard, and thus had to walk up to her It is right to give the other party the predetermined path.

But now, what is happening and has happened, it seems that it is not what she imagined and planned?

Anyway!

Now, what she saw and heard was completely inconsistent with her original plan!

She didn't know what happened in the meantime, she didn't know why it became like this, and she didn't know how to change or guide herself. Therefore, she continued to hide herself in the darkness and continue to observe carefully. Otherwise, nothing can be done.

'Hahaha……'

'Ha ha……'

'Come again! '

'I don't believe...'

"..."

In the distance, bursts of loud laughter and bursts of laughter suddenly erupted from that camp. It seemed that the atmosphere suddenly became lively? And that kind of thing is obviously something that Melina has never seen in these years, so her brow hidden in the hood couldn't help but frown.

However, she didn't mean to approach or interfere easily, so she just stayed where she was, continued to ride on her spirit horse Torret, and silently observed the situation of the camp in the distance.

perhaps……

She wanted to figure out what happened from the faint laughter and laughter?

But no matter what she wanted to do, or was planning something, that couldn't stop the laughter of the soldiers and some bad little girl in the dilapidated camp at this time.

The night is getting deeper...

for a long time……

Until the dew gradually wets Melina's cloak, until the bonfire in the camp in the distance gradually goes out, and until the rare playful noises are silenced again, the witch Melina didn't move at all. Pass.

"..."

I don't know how long it took, until I saw that there was no sound in the camp, until the soldiers were asleep, and until the sentries on duty at the gate of the camp changed their posts again, Melina slowly lowered her head , and touched the dew-covered mane on the neck of the spirit Ma Torret under her.

"Let's go."

"Toret, we still have a chance."

"It should be..."

After taking a last look at the camp in the distance, the witch Melina stretched out her hand and patted Lingma Torret's neck lightly.

'hiss……'

Immediately afterwards, the spirit horse, which was human and seemed to have high intelligence, shook its neck and let out a soft whistle, then lifted its legs and walked lightly towards the hill.

It didn't take long for the man and the horse who didn't sleep at night completely disappeared in the wilderness of Ningmgfu, and they didn't know where they went.

...

the next day.

The clouds in the sky gradually became brighter, when the outline of the golden tree in the distance became clearer, and when the earth was illuminated by light again, a certain sad little girl finally appeared at the gate of the woodland outpost camp. And prepare to say goodbye to those new uncles and sisters.

"Nah!"

(*^▽^*)

"Uncle Dashu, and all the uncles, aunts and sisters, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm going to play by myself!"

()

"Goodbye!"

ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~

"ha!"

()

After finishing speaking, a certain little girl who stayed in this military camp for one night and had a barbecue meal, the first time she ate that kind of Ningmgfu wilderness goat, directly carried her little bear, He walked away under the gaze and farewell of a big tree guard and a group of frontline sentry soldiers.

That's right!

Last night, the one who played and held a bonfire party with these soldiers, uncles, aunts and sisters in this camp, and ate and sang and danced until midnight, was of course Her Lady Queen Anne.

Moreover, through the frolic last night, she quickly became acquainted with these uncles, aunts and elder sisters who haven't been home for many years, told them a lot of stories, and brought them a lot of love. happiness, and this is the reason why they came to see her off at the gate of the camp the next day.

"Annie!"

"Safe travels!"

"Stonyville City is not a good place. Remember, don't stay there too long, don't cause trouble, and go home after you've had enough fun?"

He looked at the general beside him, that is, the big tree guard who put on the full-body plate armor again, and saw that the other party didn't seem to want to speak, the one who didn't know how long hadn't shaved, looked The lieutenant general who looked like Hei Zhangfei waved and gave a loud voice on his behalf.

"Got it!"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

"Hurry up and go back to work, so that people won't cause trouble indiscriminately!"

()

After finishing speaking, Annie skipped to the north of the forest without waiting for the other party to say anything, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest of Ningmgfu.

"..."

The chief officer of this camp, that is, the big tree guard, still did not speak.

The tall man, he and his group of subordinates silently watched the little boy who stayed in their camp for one night and brought them a lot of joy and warmth with songs and some impossible stories. The girl's leaving.

Although he was a bit reluctant to let the other party leave and go to the increasingly crazy Stonewell City, there was no way, they had their responsibilities, and the other party also had the other's life. In this worsening world, they had nothing to do. Can't change.

Whether it's their own destiny, the destiny of the country or even the whole world, or the safety of that little girl, etc., they can't change anything, and they can't protect it!

After all, they are just little people and pawns...

For example, they have carried out the task of intercepting the faded people at the outpost of the Ningmgfu wilderness. Like a group of walking dead, wandering here like the kind of 'dead birthers'.

And if it wasn't for that little girl who injected new vitality into their camp last night and brought them joy and laughter, I'm afraid they themselves wouldn't know why they and others are still here, or even why they are still alive Bar?

But now, they seem to be awake again...

Although this world on the verge of destruction is still getting worse, more ridiculous, more ignorant and chaotic, but, no matter what, last night, they all saw that this world is still worth visiting The thing to guard, that is the meaning of their continuing to be here.

That was their last duty. Even though they died without regret, it wasn't just because of that bullshit order that even they themselves forgot which year it was issued!

"General!"

"you……"

"Where did you find that little girl?"

After seeing Annie completely disappear, it took a long time for the lieutenant who was nicknamed "Black Zhang Fei" to turn his head and ask the tall tree guard beside him.

"Front!"

"The place where the faders haunt!"

The big tree guard didn't hide anything, and turned his head to look at a certain wilderness.

There is the area where they want to patrol and guard. They have been on duty here for countless years, and after a while, he will still step on his divine war horse that has also lost his blessing, carrying His golden halberd patrols the area, slaying any Faded that come within sight of him.

"ah……"

"Why is she there?"

"she……"

"It's not really a fader, is it?"

Hearing what his general said, the lieutenant couldn't help but exclaimed.

"have no idea."

"What do you think?"

The big tree guard didn't comment, nor did he say yes or no, but just asked a rhetorical question.

"This..."

"I don't think so!"

The lieutenant shook his head, and then went on to say:

"Those faders, we've seen a lot over the years."

"Although they do have blessings, they can absorb Rune to become stronger, but their hostility is still too heavy, and their brains may not be normal. They are not much better than those guys in the city!"

"If someone like them becomes the new king, I don't know what will happen to this world."

As he spoke, the lieutenant general sighed, and his eyes couldn't help being clouded.

Their world has become worse and worse since Elden's ring was broken and the eternal queen Malika disappeared. It's simple, and there are various changes, even the pawns like them who are fighting outside have already felt it.

but no way...

They can't change anything and don't have enough power to change!

After all, the blessings of these people have been taken away by the supreme will, and they have been "exiled" in a sense, and now they are just lingering, but those who are struggling on the edge of the world fade away It is ridiculous and sad, but it is also helpless.

"..."

Hearing his lieutenant general's words, the big tree guard didn't speak, but his head with the golden helmet drooped slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"cough!"

"General, tell me, if there is a god-man or a descendant of nobles who is as pure as that little guy just now, who is not polluted or cursed, can become king, how great would that be?"

"That kind of pure smile, I haven't seen it for many years."

"How long has it been since the Elden Circle was destroyed and the world and everyone cursed?"

"Um……"

"In her, I saw something that others don't have, whether it's those gods or demigods, or those faded..."

"It was a strange feeling..."

While talking, the lieutenant general suddenly became emotional, and accidentally expressed some real thoughts that he had been expecting for many years.

"Something you don't have?"

"What is it?"

The big tree guard paused, then raised his head, turned to look at his subordinate, and asked with his eyes hidden behind the helmet.

"Hope for the future..."

"Plenty of vitality..."

"besides……"

"A true 'king' should have the temperament?"

Oddly enough, the lieutenant general spoke out the conclusion he had thought about all night.

Especially hope and vitality, in his mind, this is what the borderland has been chasing after these years, and now, whether it is those gods, nobles, or faded people, there are more in them, and they will always be Just tyranny and ambition, they are always only for themselves, no one really wants to think about this world and countless creatures.

"??"

"Do you still know what the temperament of a 'king' is?"

"Ah!"

"Have you seen 'Wang'?"

The big tree guard was stunned, and then asked directly, dumbfounded.

Unlike the lieutenant in front of him who was talking eloquently, the big tree guard said that he was the only knight in this camp who had seen King Elden. Although it was a distant thing countless years ago, he just I have indeed seen it, and, it is still at the root of the sacred tree?

He still remembers that scene deeply!

Unfortunately……

I don't know when, their king betrayed them, betrayed the world, betrayed all creatures, and is pushing the world into the abyss of eternal doom.

"Of course I haven't seen it!"

"but……"

"General, do you know?"

"It feels so good when she sees me and calls me uncle..."

"I just feel that after the problem with the sacred tree, the dark cloud that was suppressed in my heart disappeared all of a sudden."

"That's like..."

"It's like being blessed again..."

As he spoke, the lieutenant general's eyes couldn't help becoming blurred, and he whispered some words of unknown meaning.

"Yeah?"

"No, you miss your daughter again, don't you?"

"Speaking of..."

"How many years have we not gone back?"

Regarding the reaction of his lieutenant general, the guard Dashu was noncommittal, and only asked in a deep voice after pondering for a while.

"daughter?"

"Of course I want to!"

"only……"

He just opened his mouth, but thinking of the changes in Stonewell City, the suffering and curses suffered by the people in the city, and the changes in the world after the Elden Ring was broken, he finally stopped talking and fell silent. stand up.

He didn't dare to think about it, because he hadn't received any news from his family for a long, long time, and they had been living in a daze all these years. This cursed world almost made him lose his humanity completely.

Therefore, he did not dare to imagine what the city of Stonewell would be like now, nor did he dare to imagine it. After all, they had no ability to change, they were just forgotten little people.

"Anyway!"

"If she is a descendant of a god or a certain nobleman, and she is willing to become king, I think I will definitely support her?"

"At least……"

"A king like that is worth our lives to protect?"

After a long time, the deputy general continued to speak, and sighed like a wry smile.

"As for the faders..."

"Aside from colluding with those rebels, fighting and killing, destroying everywhere, and trying to collect runes to satisfy their own selfish desires, what else will they do?"

After sighing, Lieutenant General Blackbeard couldn't help but gritted his teeth and began to sneer again.

This is a bad era. Compared with the faded people, those gods and nobles are indeed bad enough, but even if those faded people are not as bad as those gods, it is not for them soldiers to choose Support the Fader's Cause!

If there is no better choice, perhaps, they would rather continue to support those rotten nobles and gods, and then continue to barely maintain this damned, cursed world until it can no longer hold on and completely collapses. that day?

"..."

The big tree guard didn't speak anymore, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"ha!"

"Don't take it seriously, General. She is still so young. Although she seems to have some supernatural powers, she is still too young."

"Pity……"

Then, the lieutenant shook his head, and actually began to speak comfortingly, and he stopped expressing that sentimental statement.

"How many people are there in our camp?"

"I mean..."

"Not tormented mad by the curse."

At this time, the big tree guard suddenly asked.

"Well……"

"I'm afraid it's less than three hundred..."

"Maybe there are two hundred and seventy or eighty?"

The deputy general thought for a while, and quickly gave a relatively accurate number.

"That's all?"

"then……"

"When we came here to guard, there were more than a thousand people..."

As he spoke, the big tree guard lowered his head sadly.

"No way"

"Curse, coupled with the steady stream of faders, I'm afraid the brothers won't last long."

Shaking his head, the lieutenant also smiled bitterly and became emotional.

After so many years, the new order has never come again. Perhaps, these people have been abandoned, right?

Of course, it's also possible that those nobles or demigods in the city are more busy with other things now, such as the ridiculous and crazy 'attaching limbs', where are they free? Care about the life and death of these people?

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it!"

"The holy tree can testify, and we will defend this land to the death!"

"Eliminate those faders at all costs!"

"them……"

"Not worthy to be king!"

The big tree guard said firmly, grabbed his golden halberd, and stepped directly onto a golden armored horse led by a soldier beside him.

"But, there seems to be something wrong with the holy tree..."

After hesitating for a while, the lieutenant turned his head in embarrassment and looked at the huge golden sacred tree in the distance.

They already knew about the problem with the golden sacred tree. Among other things, the faded people were blessed, but they were cursed. This alone is enough to explain everything.

"The sacred tree has never been a problem..."

"The problem is the human heart!"

or……

To be precise, it should be 'God's Heart'?

Of course, the big tree guard didn't dare to say the last sentence.

He just reined in the reins, and without waiting for his lieutenant to say anything, he galloped towards the distance, towards the Ningmgfu wilderness.

A new day has quietly arrived, and since he is the guardian of the big tree, he will continue to perform his duties and guard the land shrouded by the sacred tree.

Even if he risked his life, he would kill any faded person who dared to set foot on the wilderness of Ningmgfu!

That's just like what he just said to the lieutenant general, those who have been spurned by them and this land, those who have resentment and ambition, will only destroy everywhere, only want to be the king of Elden and satisfy themselves The guy with selfish desires is not worthy to be their king!
