Chapter 187 Eye of the Gem
In the palace, the happy prince raised his hands and draped a golden armor on his body.
Many soldiers from Goethe Kingdom stood beside each other, with a little solemn on their faces.
"Lec, Poluo, are you back? How are you thinking?"
The Happy Prince looked at Lake and Polo and asked softly. On the head of the Happy Prince, Yan Zi Sipalo also waved his wings friendly, but did not say anything to keep.
Perhaps, Sipalo didn't want to interfere with Lake or Polo's decision because of himself.
Especially participating in a war between kingdoms.
"Your Highness, if we don't join, will your battle be successful?"
Rake did not answer directly, but asked a question first.
"I don't know, but I always believe that miracles exist in this world."
The happy prince smiled and said, looking around, as if he could sense the existence of every Goethe, "But these miracles will only be born in faith--of course, I decided to stop being an idealist a long time ago.
I know that the military strength of Goethe and the Kingdom of Weather is very different. We have been defeated repeatedly, but now we have more opportunities for victory.
Because you are here, Sipalo brings the part I haven't found yet.
My eyes, and—power. ”
The happy prince said, spreading his hands, and the bag on Sipalo's chest was opened, among which three gems of different colors flew out of them and hovered in the air.
But then, the Happy Prince looked solemn and said to Lake and Polo:
"But in that case, no matter how much you win or lose, the number of people who died will be unimaginable. In that case, our kingdom, even if you win, will take a long time to recover.
If you help me, perhaps this war will end sooner. ”
"Is this what..."
After hearing this, Lake nodded and said directly, "Okay, I will help you, but I don't want to do too much, the massacre of ordinary soldiers, I know that those Wither soldiers did kill many innocent people in the war.
But I... don't want to kill too many people, and I don't like Xingshajian either. ”
"Ha, I know, don't worry, I won't arrange for you to do something like that!"
After hearing Lake's reply, the happy prince laughed. He pointed to the star-killing sword around Lake's waist and continued, "Sipallo told me about you, and I myself - I will never want the pure starlight to be stained with more blood."
Afterwards, the happy prince restrained his smile and waved his hand. A strategist behind him came forward, holding a wooden spaceship model in his hand, putting it in the air with a wooden stick, and placed it on a sand table in the center of the palace.
The Happy Prince stared at the model and said to Lake:
"The king of the Kingdom of Weather built this fleet flying in the air with magic and skills from nowhere, known as the "Sky Fleet".
King Weather will be present in every war, and his location is at the flagship of this fleet. ”
The happy prince said as he looked at Lake and slowly added:
"If you can board this flagship and kill King Wither - perhaps in this way, you can end this war early and let peace return to the world."
"Same as we thought..."
Lake and Polo looked at the spaceship on the sand table, looked up and looked back at the Happy Prince again, "We will do this as quickly as possible."
...
As time goes by, the aura of the Goethe capital has become colder and colder.
There were fewer and fewer people leaving the capital of Goethe. Until the army was approaching, no one could leave. Now, the people who were still in Goethe were left with the people who fought for tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, from multiple directions, the traces of the Weather Kingdom's Heavenly Fleet were found. They may directly implement a "encirclement" of the city on the day of the war."
Every day, sentries from Goethe Kingdom go to the palace of Wuyou to report.
As for the sand table in the palace, many soldiers stayed up late to deduce it every day - the army of the Kingdom of Wither was just the ground troops, and the guards of the Goethe capital several times.
Not to mention... that air force that can almost be called "invincible" on the ground battlefield!
"Have you found the flagship location?"
"It is being tracked. The flagship of the Kingdom of Weather has already had seventeen reconnaissance marks, and the trajectory is being judged..."
"Well, there is not much time left, and this will be our battle against the enemy."
The Happy Prince kept making military orders and tactics on the scroll of paper in front of him. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the ancient palaces around him. After the aging murals, the walls still revealed a faint golden color.
And in the vision of the Happy Prince, he could not see any color. The world he perceived was pieced together by countless complex lines and energy flows.
He can accurately sense every corner and what is outside the wall.
"I... have to be prepared to open my eyes again, suffering and threats, far from closing my eyes, will disappear."
He murmured, feeling the penetration of the wall and looking at the top of the Goethe capital wall not far away.
There, he could sense the gathering of stars.
Clear, transparent, holy...
It's like that long-lasting paradise.
"I am the king now, I am no longer a prince. I can do more, I must do more--"
The Happy Prince, or... King of Ge, perhaps, was not as powerful as all Goethes thought, or that every king's heart would become more dazzling under countless burns.
"Humans, living in this world, should not just be to feel pain. I just want to let more people enjoy happiness without worries."
...
On the walls, Lake and Pola looked into the distance.
Among the swaying plants, the army of the Kingdom of Weather was everywhere, and the camp tents were rolling like a black forest, with no end to see.
Many siege equipment like giant beasts have been built.
Like one bloodthirsty giant beast after another.
But these are far from the most oppressive ones. In the clouds not far away, several warships that looked like steel were suspended in the air.
"How did such a big guy... do it?"
Po Luo opened his eyes wide, and he clearly saw that there were many subtle carvings on the dark bottom of the Battleship of the Heaven, but no matter what, it was a miraculous project!
Unfortunately, their goal is to war and massacre.
Poluo turned his vision, and on the other sides of the city, there were also warships in the heaven hanging under the clouds.
They did not deliberately cover up their bodies.
It seemed as if they deliberately used the hideous carvings of their hulls to put pressure on the defenders of Goethe City.
"Ms. Lake, and...uh, Mr. Poluo."
A Goethen officer walked to Lake and Polo and saluted, "His Majesty the King invited two to the Wuyou Palace."
In the ancient Wuyou Palace, all Goethe soldiers were covered in armor. The happy prince, wearing golden armor, was also straight, standing in front of the throne, with three orange, yellow, green and azure stones slowly spinning behind him.
"The flagship of the Heavenly Fleet where the King of the Kingdom of Weather has found its location, and the day after tomorrow, they will launch an attack, but this time, we are not defending, but - offense!"
After hearing this, all the Goethe soldiers held the long swords at their waists tightly.
Although in the previous discussion with the Happy Prince, they all understood that what they were going to do in the future was not to defend the city, but to take the initiative.
But this action of using one's own weaknesses to attack the other's strengths still makes them feel a little difficult-
This is a war that is destined to have no way out.
"Our city walls cannot stop the attacks flying in the sky. They will throw rockets and oil barrels from high altitudes, and slaughter our citizens in the sky--
In the city, such a thing cannot be prevented from happening, so we can only choose the battlefield outside the city wall in this way! ”
After saying that, the happy prince kept his head tilted, as if he was looking into the distance. The silver-gray skin surface and a little golden light gathered.
In his mouth, he murmured:
"Happiness, happiness...all the beauty needs a price, even if the price is to sacrifice what I have..."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
At the top of the palace, a shadow flew over from the open skylight.
The golden sunlight shone on Sipalo's black back, illuminating her body like cast of gold.
Sipalo gently landed on the head of the happy prince, and all the Goethe soldiers below were looking at the bird flying from the sun.
"My closest swallow companion, you are my eyes. Can you tell me what you saw outside the city wall?"
The Happy Prince asked Sipalo softly, just like when he lost his eyes countless years ago.
"I saw those foreign troops, polishing the sharp blades and spears in their hands. Next to their war horses, the heads of the dead were hung. They sharpened their knives and talked about only the ambitions of killing, plundering and aggression...
The slaves, tied with iron chains, built trenches under the thorny whip.
The ground they passed by was covered with bloody remains..."
After listening to Yan Zi Sipalo's words, all Goethe was silent, and the Happy Prince responded again in a calm voice:
"I understand that I will stop the advancement of war and suffering, even if I offer it - my second life given by God!"
After his words fell, all the Goethe soldiers drew their swords and pointed at the sky, shouting loudly:
"Sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice!"
And in the midst of the shouting, the Happy Prince walked out of the palace, walked along the street, under the gaze of all Goethe's military and civilians, towards the direction of the city wall.
Step by step.
On the forehead, the golden straps that covered their eyes slowly fell off and turned into a glittering dust.
The happy prince's eyes were exposed, but there was only a deep and light-free darkness.
“Before I came here, I had fantasized that I hope that when I regained my vision, I could look up and see that everyone would have lived a happy and happy life…
But I failed.
I understand that it is still the truth that I should have understood long ago - only those who witness the suffering can solve it. ”
Behind the Happy Prince, the three gems gradually stopped.
Among them, two azure and green gems are slowly suspended in front of the happy prince's eye socket.
"I once gave my blue eyes to a playwright, dreams and soul, so that the will surpass suffering. Under my gaze, the dreams in your heart will make you leap over suffering-"
Azure blue gem, flying into the left eye of the happy prince.
He looked at the Goethe soldiers, and behind each soldier reflected in his eyes, a pair of invisible wings became faint.
"I once gave my green eyes to a match girl who was hungry and cold, and no one should be born to suffer. I hope that every trembling soul will regain warmth and strength."
The turquoise gem flew into the right eye of the happy prince.
Under the blue light, everyone felt a warmth and comfort from the inside out.
Several soldiers widened their eyes. They saw the surface of their skin, and the long-standing wounds began to heal again.
Finally, the Happy Prince drew his sword out of the sheath, and the long sword on his waist stood up high and pointed to the sky—
"I once gave the red gem on the sword to a mother who worked hard for the young child - under the red light, all the warriors who waved their sharp blades for protection will be invincible!"
The red gem, re-embedded in the long sword of the happy prince.
Not only in the palace, but also in the entire city, all the people who were preparing for sacrifice for protection heard the gradually sounded war drums in their hearts!
The weakness caused by hunger, cold, age or pain is slowly dispelled.
Instead, it is a power that seems to be born from the bottom of your heart!
"Guardian!"
"Sacrifice!"
All the soldiers began to shout.
And those women, children and the elderly who were unable to fight also shouted to cheer for Goethe's soldiers.
In the sound of shouting, the Happy Prince climbed up to the city, looking at the steel forest shrouded in the dim sky, the King Wither flag, and the fleet of the conquests and the fleets exposed in the gaps between the dark clouds.
The happy prince took a deep breath, his voice was extremely calm, but it sounded in the hearts of every Goethe soldier:
"I once gave the gold foil all over my body to the people who were in trouble.
Every soldier who is on the expedition today, you exchange your blood for your love for your life. I respect you—now, all the people who are guarded by you, their prayers and love will also put on golden armor for you! ”
As the words fell, the happy prince's silver-gray body surface, countless golden lights condensed into entities, covering the surface of his body, and became golden again.
The same was true for other Goethe soldiers. The golden light appeared out of thin air around them and woven into golden armor.
"Soldiers, open the city gates and our last war begins."
The happy prince waved his golden sword and pointed at the front—
The enemy formation is like abyss, with dark clouds pressing against the top.
But at this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared at the intersection of the dark tide!
