When everyone's eyes were focused on the face of Lucius, who still had a calm smile on his immature face, he glanced at the leaders of the disadvantaged races in the depths of the forest who had been summoned by the unicorns, and saw the hesitation on their faces and the fear that was pressed in their eyes.

Lucius knew very well in his heart that the leaders of the various tribes in front of him were full of hope for themselves and their future, but at the same time they were afraid of the city in the forest.

Especially when they heard the heavy bell, they felt even more frightened in their hearts.

At this time, they need a voice to calm their hearts and make up their minds to really resist in the end, otherwise except for the unicorns, who can no longer stay out of the matter, all other races may choose to leave.

At this time, the most nervous is Barna, who invited the leaders of the various clans as the leader of the unicorn people, and Bana hopes to get more support from the clan.

But if these races all withdraw and return to the city in the forest, the unicorn clan may really be destroyed.

Therefore, Barna stared at Lucius nervously, hoping that Lucius would open his mouth to dispel the doubts in the hearts of the leaders of the various clans in front of him, so that they could all join the rebellion alliance.

However, Lecius always turned a blind eye to Barna's nervousness and the anxiety of the others, and stood there calmly, as if listening to the heavy sound of the bell, as if he was deeply attracted by the sound of the bell.

After a long time, when everyone seemed to be impatient, Lucius finally seemed to be out of the world, sighed and said: "Finding the bell of the Scarlet Castle seems to sound quite interesting, so don't always be sad, the bell ringing does not mean anything." ”

Seeing the puzzled look on everyone's faces, and wondering what he meant, Lucius continued: "Didn't you say before that the city in the forest today is no longer the city in the forest in the past?"

"The people in power have changed. The rules that were made in the forest many years ago have also changed, and the tribes that occupied the city in the forest have also changed, and since everything has changed, what can the bell of the Scarlet Castle represent? Ringing the bell at this time means that the Scarlet Castle has come to the verge of complete destruction. ”

Lucius's words shocked everyone, and no one of the leaders of the tribes, including Bana, expected that Lucius would say such a thing and be so calm.

There was not the slightest fear on Lucius's face, as if the bell was still ringing. It's really just an ordinary bell.

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions in disbelief, Lucius seemed to have expected that there would be no expression.

Instead, he said to everyone: "If a dynasty is decayed, it is destined to be overthrown by other dynasties, and if a civilization is decayed, it will be replaced by other civilizations. ”

"Since ancient times, there has been no eternal kingship, and there have been no eternal gods. So if you want to restore the glory of your ancestors and free your people from the present situation of enslavement, then the first thing you must do is to be able to appreciate the bell with confidence. Then say 'no' to the person ringing the bell. ”

Lucius's words once again deeply shocked everyone, looking at the determined look on Lecius's face, recalling Lecius's sonorous and powerful words.

The chiefs of the tribes present. It seems to vaguely see that their ancestors were protecting this forest back then. A scene of fierce battle with demons from the depths of the forest from the abyss.

At that time, the ancestors of their various races had the courage to fight, even though there was a gap in strength, even if they lost the protection of the power of civilization, they still stood up and fought desperately, just to provide a relatively peaceful living environment for future generations, hoping that future generations could rise again, inherit their legacy and fight fiercely with the demons of the abyss.

However, for hundreds of years, the various ethnic groups in the forest seem to have forgotten the bloody battles of the past, and the various ethnic groups are immersed in endless infighting.

The powerful ethnic groups that were originally responsible for leading the development and growth of all the ethnic groups in the forest relied on the strength of their own strength to occupy the city in the forest and oppress the weak ethnic groups in the forest.

And the weak tribes gathered in the unicorn village at such a moment, forced by hundreds of years of oppression, have long lost the blood and courage of their ancestors, not only lost the inheritance of the strength of the clan, but also lost the iron bones of their ancestors, like a group of animals content with the status quo, swallowing their anger and surviving in the oppression.

"Think of the ancestors who fought for the forest and shed their blood, the enemies you faced were stronger than what you are facing now, but they never flinched, never compromised, but did their best to shed the last drop of blood. ”

Lucius's words touched everyone deeply, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, knocking on their hearts that they dare not open, and releasing the blood buried deep in their hearts.

At this moment, Lucius could clearly feel that the leaders of these different ethnic groups in front of him had already ignited their fighting spirit in their hearts, and they planned to fight the city in the forest to the end without hesitation, even if they had to pay a heavy price in the end.

"Papapapa" However, at this moment, a burst of clapping suddenly sounded, breaking the original silence.

In an instant, the fighting atmosphere condensed by Lucius dissipated, and then an inopportune voice sounded: "Outsider, what you said is very good, it is really impassioned, and it makes people feel that their blood is boiling. ”

Then the person who spoke changed his words: "But, have you ever thought that the bell will ring throughout the forest, and many races in the forest will answer the call, how many races will there be? Not a few, a dozen, dozens of them, but hundreds of different races. ”

As he spoke, the crowd dispersed, and a swarthy and magnificent minotaur walked slowly, fearlessly walking through the crowd to Lucius, and meeting Lucius's gaze.

Then he pointed to the people around him and continued: "And we have only a dozen ethnic groups here, and they are all perennial enslaved species, so why should we use to fight with those big clans in the city in the forest? How can we resist the oppression and enslavement of us in the city in the forest?"

Seeing the look of ridicule on Lucius's face, the minotaur did not give Lucius a chance to mock himself, but continued to rush to say: "I know, what do you want to say, you think we are cowardly, we are humble and lowly. ”

"Yes, we have been cowardly indeed, for hundreds of years. Even if we have been enslaved, we have never stood up to resist, but so what? Do we have to fight hard to break the blood and put the whole population into it, so that we can be considered bloody and courageous?

Hearing this, the smile on Lecius's face gradually faded, and he carefully looked at the minotaur who stood up, and from the other party's simple face, he seemed to see the Kane of Longquan Restaurant.

It's just that Lucius can feel the simple face of the minotaur in front of him. But there is a different experience, which is probably a painful past that is difficult to talk about.

And the minotaur did not stop there, and approached Lucius step by step and said: "Yes, you are right, our ancestors, for the sake of this forest, for us, were not afraid of the horror of the abyss demons, and shed the last drop of blood. ”

"But I want to. Those ancestors did not do that to see their hard-earned community destroyed at our hands, but to hope that we could continue to perpetuate it. ”

The Minotaur's words were recognized by many people, and some clan leaders couldn't help but nod secretly. Obviously, they felt that the Minotaurs' words were very reasonable, or more in line with their thoughts.

But Lucius suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, wonderful, really wonderful." It was the first time I heard that someone could speak of cowardice so high-soundingly, while trampling the glory of their ancestors under their feet. I can also say with confidence that I did not insult my ancestors, I just continued to preserve the community for them in another way. ”

Lucius's words were extremely mean, even Barna couldn't help frowning when he heard it, and the leaders of the various clans present suddenly changed their views on Lucius.

The minotaur who stood up stared at Lucius with anger on his face.

The two bull's eyes, which were as bright as copper bells, almost seemed to be about to erupt into fire, and they trembled angrily and said: "Very good, very good, you have humiliated me again and again, and I, Retosa, want to challenge you to a duel." ”

Seeing Retosa's angry appearance, and hearing Retosa's dueling request to him, Lucius sneered contemptuously and said, "What?

Then, in an even more bitter tone, he said: "If you dare to fight the people of the city in the forest, even if you die under their butcher's knife, then I think your ancestors will be proud of you, and your descendants will look up to you, but you are only angry and want to duel with me, I am afraid that your ancestors will be ashamed of being of your kindred when they know about it." ”

"This ......" Hearing Lucius say this, Barna finally couldn't help it, and wanted to stand up and make a round between the two, wanting to remind Lucius not to be too aggressive.

But before Barna could say anything, Lucius waved his hand to stop Barna and said, "Patriarch Bana, you don't need to say much, since this guy is going to duel, I will definitely accompany him, I want to see if he really has blood and fighting spirit." ”

"What??" Hearing that Lucius had agreed to Retosa, almost all of the people present were full of incredulity.

However, Lucius said sternly: "Yes, dueling, I accept the challenge of Retosa's duel, and I hope that it will arouse your blood and fighting spirit." ”

At this point, Lucius glanced at the leaders present, and finally met Retosa's gaze and said, "Perhaps, you will say that I am just an outsider, and I am qualified to take care of the affairs of your forest, and what right do I have to teach you a lesson? ”

"I don't want to defend anything, I just want to say that I don't have the leisure to instigate you, and I never think about taking advantage of you, I just hope, I hope to see that you who are oppressed can really straighten your back and say the word 'no' to those who oppress you, even if it's just once. ”

A disappointed look appeared on Lucius' face, but he didn't say anything more, just asked Barna to prepare for the duel, and he took a step out of the crowd.

As he was about to leave, Lucius stopped and said, "No matter what you think in your hearts, what the outcome of this duel is, I will not force you again, I will take my companions and leave, as for you, you can go to the city in the woods, go to the army that crusades against me, you can rest assured, I will not say anything about your cooperation with me." ”

After that, Lucius didn't stop any longer, and walked out of the crowd and walked directly to the outside of the unicorn village, his back looking a little lonely. (To be continued......)
