*Swish.*
The scene turned dark. He could only hear some random conversation.
“Father… do you really… love me?”
“He’s your son! And you sent him to the b.l.o.o.d.y battlefield ten thousand miles! All right now, he’s dead! Are you happy?”
“The funeral will be held the day after tomorrow, Valgariah.”
“I wasn’t wrong! I can’t be wrong! Absolutely! No!!” It was the low, m.u.f.fled voice of the Steel Lord.
“Will you cry? Valgariah, you are crazy! You are a ruthless beast!! Your only son is dead. Now, look at your face! It is indifferent!!”
“I’m sorry we couldn’t find madam’s body. She was last seen by witnesses on the dark cliff of Blackdeer Mountain.”
“Valgariah, Steel Lord, your heart is as cold as steel. Hard and stubborn.”
“As cold as steel?”
*Swish.*
The scene changed again. In front of Lin Sheng floated a tall old man in gray hair and black armor.
The old man’s face was cold and hard, with a strong sense of ancient aristocratic arrogance. The fine lines and carvings on his armor revealed his extraordinary family background.
“Is this the Steel Lord?” Lin Sheng had not recovered from the memory fragments just now.
He suddenly understood why the Steel Lord would not leave at the last moment, but stay and die with all his men. Because he had lost his wife and son. He had nothing to lose.
“If you had one more chance, I wonder if you’d make the same choice…” Lin Sheng sighed.
He slowly opened his eyes.
In front of the ritual circle, a strong old man with gray hair stood calmly. It was Valgariah Rioman, the Steel Lord.
“You are Valgariah Rioman, the Steel Lord.”
“I will bring you victory.” The old man knelt on one knee and bowed his head in front of Lin Sheng.
“I’m looking forward to it,” Lin Sheng answered calmly.
Although Lin Sheng’s consciousness was in the body of the Steel Lord, he did not suppress the Steel Lord’s instinct.
He pulled out his strength through the ritual, reconstructing his body. Although these summoning creatures did not originally exist in the dream, the memory contents that Lin Sheng copied to them was essentially making them reborn. Reborn with fragments of memory.
Such a pattern can be understood as Lin Sheng was the original body of their souls while they were different parts of Lin Sheng’s soul. After all, their souls had been fully integrated into Lin Sheng’s soul. They were one.
…
On one of the islands of Veleon.
In the center of the forest was a temporary encampment made of white planks.
A Redwin flag fluttered in the breeze. Beneath it lay a b.l.o.o.d.y, smoky battlefield.
“Have you ever felt the sea breeze?? Khadula whispered to the captain’s ear. “It is like the feather on the bottom of a bird’s wing, so soft… so light…”
Khadula removed his hand from the captain’s throat, allowing blood gushing from the wound.
“I like the sea.” He spread his arms wide, his soft cheeks were flushed with pink.
“Oh,” said Khadula, smiling. “I have another dream. I want to own a warm ocean.”
“Evil!!” Far out in the sea, a speedboat came hurtling toward him.
Two officers were driving a speedboat, on which stood a middle-aged woman with long blue hair.
Speedboats appeared simultaneously in several other directions, each with someone standing on it. There was a strange surge of energy in each of them.
A total of four speedboats carrying four people approached the coast quickly.
Of the four persons, two of them were Maham and Kamen, who had previously appeared in Xilin.
They had been searching everywhere for Sarroux, trying to dig out the secret information of the Ironfist Society from him, and they did not expect to meet the special envoy of the Ironfist Society, Khadula, in the Veleon Islands.
According to the unspoken rules that everyone follows, the transcendents did not generally slaughter ordinary people or cause widespread shock.
But Khadula did not care.
He killed hundreds of Redwin’s soldiers in a single blow and then continued to hunt and kill all sorts of soldiers throughout the islands.
The strongest men of the entire Veleon were three three-winged colonels. After the first colonel was killed, the other two were in a panic. They fled as soon as the crackdown failed. The rest of the army was killed and destroyed in a matter of days.
The shock caused by this immediately caused a sensation in Redwin.
Redwin had to send a special squad to attack and kill Khadula.
At a distance of more than twenty meters, two pale green b.a.l.l.s rose from Maham’s feet and carried him through the air, landing him easily on the beach. Meanwhile, Kamen’s feet shone with green light and then took off like a cannonball, crashing straight into the beach.
The two men were the strongest men who were closest to the island, and since they had come to investigate the Ironfist Society, they automatically became the main force of the operation, moving rapidly in the direction of Khadula.
Feeling the rapid approach of the two masters of Heaven Spire, the smile on Khadula’s face gradually calmed down, replaced by excitement.
“Come on…” He stepped forward, his arms stacked up behind him like waves pushing him forward.
“Ready!” Maham called out.
Hum!!!
A green light rose from him and exploded, turning into a pillar of light, followed immediately by the other three.
The four pillars of light connected with each other in the air and quickly formed a large, thin film, which enveloped Khadula in the center.
