"Give me a glass of water."
Brad leaned back on the recliner with no image, his tone was extremely tired, and the servant rushed to pour water.
After drinking some warm water, Brad finally regained some energy, but the haze in his eyes could not be dispelled. Thinking of the nightmarish scenes these past few days, he felt terrible.
He is not a hot-tempered person, he is humble and forbearing, but these days, he still can't help but quarrel. All kinds of gossip, all kinds of cynicism, overwhelming, everyone around looked at him with strange eyes. He can bear all these, as early as when he knelt down and begged Sai Lei, he knew what he would encounter, he had already made up his mind, and he would never back down.
He endured silently, even though his status was respected, he still never thought about using his status to suppress these voices. These voices are full of quarrels, full of sarcasm, but it is a voice, maybe most people laugh it off, or ridicule, but those who are willing to change, those who have illusions, can also hear this voice .
This is his fantasy.
It was with such an illusion that even those pot-bellied guys holding gilded pipes and using thick sarcasm almost sprayed the smoke on his face, he still maintained restraint. He knew what he was doing, it was impossible to please these people, and he didn't care.
Until when he heard his father say "you don't need to be so anxious", that dissatisfied and cold and indifferent gaze made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with cold hands and feet.
But then, an inexplicable anger, like a volcanic eruption, rushed straight into his forehead, causing him to lose control on the spot. He was like an angry buffalo, his roar made the whole palace tremble, his red eyes frightened everyone, including his father. This Taurus King saw his son so angry and roared for the first time.
Brad still remembered his father's bewildered and terrified face. Inexplicably, his heart became more and more sad.
Now that troubled times have arisen, the monarch is weak, and the ministers indulge in pleasure and do not know how to make progress, such a Taurus makes him see no hope.
He closed his eyes and tried to empty himself of distracting thoughts, perhaps this was his fate. After a while, he opened his eyes, and his light brown pupils returned to calm. He doesn't like this kind of Taurus, so he doesn't like it. The whole body is covered with carrion, sores, criss-crossing dignitaries, forming a huge system, and his father, he can't object.
But Taurus is also the Taurus he loves, the place where he was born and raised. As His Majesty the Taurus, he is powerless to pull the Taurus up from this quagmire, but he must also leave a trace of pride and faith for the Taurus. Even if Taurus is destroyed, even if the homeland is lost, with this belief and pride, Taurus can be rebuilt!
Proud Taurus, the horns of the bull will always point to the sky like a sword!
To find back the lost glory, to get back the lost pride, this is the only meaning for him, Brad, to survive and fight in this life.
Brad clenched his fists, he felt his body was full of inexhaustible strength, he felt his muscles were made of steel. He is not fighting alone. These days, he still recruits a group of young people who are willing to work hard to rebuild the Taurus Corps. In such gossip, they are still willing to resolutely join in, and the same flame as him is burning in their chests.
Suddenly, a servant stumbled in and delivered a message.
Brad received the message, looked down, his face changed drastically. Without saying a word, he rushed out directly.
When Brad arrived at the mission, the Shanshuang Corps was already under martial law. After being notified, he was finally allowed to enter the Corps' garrison. When he entered the corps garrison, he was taken aback because he found that the Shanshuang Corps had packed up and was ready to go at any time.
"What's going on here?"
He found Allen and asked immediately.
Allen looked serious: "Did you receive the news that Aquarius was compromised?"
"Just received it." Brad found it difficult to understand, "I was just about to discuss this matter with you, what's wrong with you? The Aquarius was breached, what does it have to do with us? This is just a robbery, the Bright Warriors No money!"
"No, we've discussed it." Allen said in a deep voice, "The Guangming Military Association is going to attack the zodiac constellations. This is definitely not a robbery. It's very simple. If it is a robbery, the Guangming Military Association will not kill so many people at all." Nobles. The Guangming Martial Arts Club killed almost all the nobles of the Aquarius family this time, what do you think it means?"
Brad's face turned pale.
That's right, if it's just for money, and the army of the Guangming Martial Arts Association is overwhelming, no matter how many Aquarius they want, they will give it to them. But to kill the entire aristocratic class, there is only one possibility, the Guangming Military Association will completely overthrow the original ruling class of Aquarius.
"But that's Aquarius..." Brad stammered.
Aaron gave Brad a sympathetic look. Through contact these days, he knew that the Taurus Prince was quite a good person, and he was not the same as those dirty guys. He decided to make his words clear: "If the Guangming Military Association decides to attack the zodiac constellations, they will definitely not only attack a certain zodiac constellation. Because the other constellations slow down, they will unite and deal with them. Once he decides to do something, Then, he must have more than one target. And we think Taurus is one of the most likely targets.”
"Why... why?" Brad's throat was dry.
"Because you are too weak." Allen was not polite, and hit the nail on the head. "At this stage, once you get into a fight, it will be very unfavorable to the Guangming Military Association. They need to resolve the battle quickly, so that they can deter other constellations with the prestige of victory." , to break their alliance."
Brad found that he couldn't find any reason to refute, and his mind was in a mess.
"I'm sorry." Allen slowed down his voice, "Our task is to protect the safety of Miss Sai Lei. All things are not as important as this one. We decided to withdraw in advance, and we set off at night. If you want, come and find us."
Allen patted the stunned Brad on the shoulder: "Think about it."
Then he turned and left.
Brad left the Shanshuang Corps station in a daze. He suddenly came to his senses and rushed towards the Taurus Palace like crazy.
"What? Guangming Wuhui is likely to attack us?" King Taurus disagreed, but thinking of his son's angry roar yesterday, he tried his best to restrain himself, "There is no sign that Guangming Wuhui will attack us. What do we have?" What? We're not the tycoons of Aquarius, we're only average in the zodiac. After capturing Aquarius, attack us again, unless they're crazy, that will deeply disturb the other signs, and everyone will Unite against them. The Guangming Wuhui has no reason to attack us."
He looked at Brad's bloodshot eyes and comforted: "Brad, I think you have been working too hard recently, and I think you need to rest for a while. Go to Niujiao Bay for a good vacation. When do you feel relaxed? Come back after that. You don't need to worry about things here... "
Brad didn't know how he got out of the palace.
He plucked up his courage, found the generalissimo, and told the generalissimo what Allen and the others had conjectured. The marshal laughed out loud, as if hearing a ridiculous joke, he patted Brad on the shoulder and said don't be afraid, Taurus can defeat any enemy, including at the poker table. After speaking, he changed his clothes, hummed a little tune, and went to prepare for the dinner party and card game.
Brad talked to Jerome again, and Jerome didn't believe it either. Fortunately, Jerome didn't persuade him to rest or laugh at him like others. Jerome knew Brad's ambitions, and he just told him that since the Mountain Frost Corps was planning to leave, he would follow and rebuild the Taurus Corps as soon as possible, so that even if they were in danger, they would have an extra guarantee.
Brad finally understood that no one would believe him, no one would believe that Guangmingwu would attack Taurus.
On the contrary, the news of the Shanshuang Corps' early retreat spread, so the Shanshuang Corps became a frightened bird in people's mouth, and they laughed at the Shanshuang Corps for being cowardly. I think that Ursa Major is nothing more than mediocre, and such a big reaction is caused by a little trouble.
This general optimism scares Brad.
He wasn't just moved by Allen. In fact, deep down in his heart, when he saw the news for the first time, he felt faint anxiety and fear. He didn't know why, but it was this vague uneasiness that made him go to Alan and the others to discuss it.
The Shanshuang Corps is stationed. The Shanshuang Corps has completed all the pre-departure preparations. Now everyone is resting. When the waiting time is up, they will set off. Because he was worried that he would encounter battles on the next trip, Allen hoped that the soldiers could maintain sufficient physical strength.
"He is quite pitiful." Chen Zilin said suddenly.
"You mean Brad?" Allen turned away.
"Yes, facing such a hopeless zodiac sign, he is already considered brave." Chen Zilin said with emotion, "Besides, he must be struggling and suffering in his heart, watching Taurus slipping into the abyss but helpless."
"He's really good, that's why I talk to him so much." Allen nodded, agreeing with Zilin's words. But when talking about struggle and pain, he suddenly thought of the Jackal Constellation in the past, and remembered the days when there was not enough to eat. They were poor and humble, like ants. In order to be able to eat enough, they were willing to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Jackal at that time...
Allen thought of the eruption in the Jackal Constellation during the Million Bloodline Awakening Project, everyone scrambling for a spot, and the stern admonitions of the elders...
Everyone tried their best to be able to eat enough, to support their families, to win that praise, and to be able to follow the wolf king. After the first battle, they were reborn little by little, and they regained their dignity. Today's jackals are famous for their perseverance and fighting skills, and they are one of the best soldiers in the world. Many people came here after hearing the news, waving banknotes, but in the heart of every jackal, they fought to follow that person!
"However, there is a price to be paid for ideals, and a price for dignity. The more you want, the greater the price you pay. You won't get anything out of thin air, right?" Allen said suddenly.
"Um."
The ground shook and the two stood up.
Brad led a group of scattered soldiers, holding an old and frayed flag, and ran towards this side. The golden bison on the flag was surging in the wind, as if it had come to life.
