When Xu Shenxing woke up, he found himself lying on an uneven wooden bed.
I don't know if it's the wooden rod or something else that hurts his back.
Just when the thought of "XX didn't come to wake me up today" popped up in his mind, which was still muddled and hadn't woken up from the dream, the next moment, a strange feeling as if something was missing occupied him. heart.
"The person I just wanted to talk about... who is it?"
Xu Shenxing lay on the bed with his arms across his forehead, trying to recall the name of the person he wanted to say just now, but he couldn't remember.
In the end, he could only give up this waste of brainwork and sat up from the bed.
A whole year has passed since the Battle of Dawn when humans counterattacked the Demon King's army.
From the time when Xu Shenxing joined the Battle of Dawn, the situation between humans and the Demon King's army was gradually reversed.
Especially when Xu Shenxing and other strong men from Olavia formed a surprise attack team "Silver Shine" that made the Demon King's army fearful, and launched several attacks on the Demon King's army, the Demon King's army suffered heavy losses. The attack retreated steadily.
The fear that had originally hung over the heads of the people of the entire continent also disappeared.
However, even though there was only one last step left to wipe out the Demon King Army and drive them out of this world, the behavior of the pan-human coalition forces became abnormal.
They first sent incompetent dignitaries to take over the command of the raid team Silver Shine, and then kicked Xu Shenxing and others who were the backbone of the team out of the team.
Not only that, Xu Shenxing and the others were even pushed to the dock of the military court for some trivial reasons!
Killing civilians—but those civilians clearly knew that their hometown would become a battlefield, and they were still unwilling to leave under the persuasion of everyone in the Shine of Silver, so they were affected by Xu Shenxing's out-of-spec battle.
Destroy the national treasure of a certain kingdom—but that kingdom has long been captured by the Demon King's army, and the entire imperial capital has been reduced to a demon cave, and the so-called national treasure has been lost in the flames of war.
Do nothing to help the friendly army—Xu Shenxing, who received the request for help, spent two full days using the power of the shining holy sword Harakti, across the entire continent to the battlefield, and finally survived from nearby The reporter knew from his mouth that the so-called friendly army had already been destroyed when he received the letter.
…
There are dozens of crimes like this, but they are all crimes that cannot withstand scrutiny.
Until that time, Xu Shenxing and the others finally understood that the prestige of their party among the people was too high, and they had even faintly threatened the original ruling class, so they did this when the foreign enemies were not completely resolved. It's a self-defeating move.
Originally, some high-ranking officials who had a problem with their brains seemed to be planning to directly sentence Xu Shenxing and the other heroes to death immediately, and wanted to kill them all once and for all, but after all, not all nobles were brainless.
Xu Shenxing and the others were able to become a turning point in the battle, not because they were supported by the soldiers, but because they themselves possessed impressive strength. If the death penalty is really imposed, then for those loyal and courageous people, maybe they can only be killed by the neck, but for people like Xu Shenxing who don't have much affection for this world, I am afraid that they may fight to the death with all their strength. more sexual.
At least the carnivores present here are not sure that they can escape from Xu Shenxing's shining holy sword Harakti.
So in the end, Xu Shenxing and the others were just deprived of all their rights and kicked out of the coalition...
The disheartened heroes of Silver Shimmer finally had to leave the battlefield under such bleak conditions and disappeared from people's sight.
Xu Shenxing, who was also disheartened and kept his name anonymous, returned to his old profession, which was the mercenary industry, after leaving the battlefield.
It's just that in the current highly organized state machine, it's very difficult for mercenaries who fight alone to receive missions. Without missions, there will be no rewards. Even Xu Shenxing can only rely on the power of the Shining Holy Sword to deliver letters to others on a part-time job. The courier work, which is barely reduced to the point of eating grass.
"Sure enough, if it really doesn't work, it's better to find a mercenary group to hang up with..."
Thinking of this, Xu Shenxing decided to go to the notice board of the guild to see if there was any new mercenary group recruiting.
As a result, before reaching the guild, he was stopped by a man wearing a cloak and a hood.
"who are you?"
Xu Shenxing narrowed his eyes.
Because the war has not yet ended, most of the human force has been piled up on the front line. In turn, there are fewer people to maintain law and order in the jurisdiction.
"I have no hostility towards you. If you don't mind, can you come with me? The road is not a good place for conversation."
The other party pleaded softly.
Her voice was crisp and melodious and full of heroism. Even the words of request sounded very active and tough, but she didn't have that unpleasant sense of domineering.
In addition, Xu Shenxing always felt as if he had heard the other party's voice somewhere, so in the end he nodded and agreed to the other party's request.
The other party took him into an alley by the side of the road, and then lifted his hood.
"...My Lady Princess?"
Xu Shenxing knew each other.
In a sense, they are still acquaintances.
After all, in the Battle of Dawn back then, it was because of the toughness of the princess that she changed from a feint attack to a real battle, and laid the foundation for the victory of mankind—although Xu Shenxing played the decisive role in it.
"I'm sorry Mr. Xi Wei, I couldn't help you at that time..."
The girl said seriously: "I know it's a bit cheeky to say that, but Mr. Xi Wei, I need your help now."
"Don't be kidding, you are a majestic princess of a country, a hero of Dawn."
Because he was quite dissatisfied with the original trial, Xu Shenxing couldn't help but sneered, and said sarcastically: "What can I need to be humiliated by a human being like me?"
Incidentally, the word shame on humanity is also clearly written in the verdict. Those nobles seemed to intend to use this method to lower Xu Shenxing's reputation among the people.
What's even more chilling is that their act was successful: the people who once regarded Xu Shenxing and the others as heroes also began to despise them.
It was precisely because of this that Xu Shenxing's comrades were completely disappointed in humans: in the jury that participated in the judgment, many nobles were even saved by them. But those who were saved by them, not only did not have any gratitude to them, but pushed them into the abyss completely.
