Chapter 37: See also S-level tasks
However, Florento did not stop because of Ye Hen's panic and said, "When I led the remaining 150,000 soldiers of the Third Legion retreated to this valley, hundreds of thousands of lions of Ice and Snow quickly followed. They sent 50,000 troops to block the entrance of the valley, and hundreds of thousands of other troops marched towards the Green King City, trying to break through the capital in one fell swoop and annex the Green Kingdom.*.
"The commander of the Ice and Snow, who was responsible for blocking the Third Legion, was very smart. He just set up many defense lines at the entrance of the valley and never tried to attack the canyon, intending to consume our food and water alive, and defeated the troops without fighting. But what they did not expect was that although we marched urgently at that time, we had brought enough water and dry food for half a month, and were not afraid of any surrounds. However, at this moment, the old man Joseph's flying pigeon sent a message to our army, which said that the Ice and Snow army had surrounded the King of Green and ordered the Third Legion to rescue immediately."
"After hearing this news, all the soldiers of the Third Legion, including me, suddenly had their eyes split. Our relatives and children are all in Green City. What if the Ice and Snow Army breaks through the city and launches a massacre?"
"In order to return to Green City to protect our loved ones and children, I ordered again to let the Third Legion, the tired lion who had fought for seven days and seven nights in a row, break through with all his strength.
At that time, we all had only one belief in our hearts, that is, to pay our lives and protect our loved ones and children.”
As he said that, a gentle expression appeared on the bone-covered face of the skeleton king, whose body was full of blood, at this moment.
After hearing Florento's words, Ye He nodded solemnly. He, who also regarded family affection as more important than life, immediately resonated with Florento's decision.
"However, it would be a dream to break out of the narrow valley that was covered with 50,000 elite soldiers. After the battle began, I witnessed them one by one, trampling fear and timidity on the soles of their feet, and watched them fall into a pool of blood. The battle of flesh and blood continued for a whole day and night. The warriors rushed to the valley of the enemy without fear of death and shouted hoarse. We used the sound of the collision of weapons to charge and the horns of the weapons to take off our hands. We used our flesh and blood to face the enemy's sharp spear and flesh and blood bodies, and we filled it with more flesh and blood bodies!"
Florento's exciting words always echoed at the canyon high, "That day was the last day of Green's Third Legion's existence, and the entire Right-angle Grand Canyon was filled with blood. The entrance of the valley was filled with the corpses of the warriors. Each soldier of the Third Legion shed the last drop of blood in his body, and more than 15,000 young lives were all buried in this once vibrant canyon."
"The blood of the warriors accumulates into a river, and eventually flows into the deep pit in front of you, gathering into a pool of blood. The story ends here, but..." Florento's sentimental tone suddenly became sharp again. He shouted angrily, "We did not expect that after we sacrificed our lives for the country, we would be treated like this. When the Ice and Snow Army finally had to withdraw due to the intervention of Ling Tian and Loulan, that bastard Joseph did not send someone to bury the bodies exposed in the wild for us. The warriors who died in battle did not have high expectations. Even if they were cremated, we would never have any complaints under the underworld."
"However, Joseph not only did not help us deal with the funeral, but instead issued a papal order that the sergeants of the Third Legion were shameful deserters and retreated to the canyon without the permission of the Pope, which eventually led to the enemy siege the city of Green. Under his hypocritical deception, even none of our relatives came to get the body back. The Third Legion was eventually abandoned by the target of Green Kingdom, the target of Green! So, when the bodies of the warriors were eaten up by the flying eagle beasts, they all turned into resentful skulls. They could walk freely in the valley, but no longer had the ability to communicate with people and the consciousness of independence. In their thoughts, there was only one emotion left, that is hatred!"
The red flames in Florento's eyes kept beating up and down. Ye Hen could see that his emotions fluctuated greatly. Ye Hen was right, but he didn't even get the treatment of firewood after sacrificing his life for the country, and eventually became food for the flying eagle beast. If it were anyone, he would probably have a sense of resentment and hatred.
However, didn’t he say that these skeletons have no sense of autonomy and the ability to communicate with others? How could Florento communicate with him?
Feeling Ye Hen's puzzled eyes, Florento seemed to guess what he thought and replied, "I don't know how many years ago, I accidentally fell into this blood pool that never dried up for many years. After years of washing and purifying the blood of the warrior, I slowly recovered my consciousness and language ability."
After explaining, without waiting for Ye Hen to respond, Florento suddenly asked, "Do you know why I didn't kill you?" I don't know." Ye Hen's head shook like a rattle. He did not forget that the guy standing in front of him had long been no longer a human category, but a skeleton king with lord level strength.
"Because, I feel that you are not a Greene or a person from the Ice and Snow Kingdom. I guess you should be a citizen of the Lingtian Empire or the Loulan Kingdom." Florento said confidently.
"Uh... Can you feel nationality?" Ye Hen suddenly fell into a state of dullness. He had never heard of it before, and the nationality of the player can also be felt. You should know that every player in the game can choose his birthplace independently, and it is impossible to see a player's nationality in the skin color language and other places. However, the terrifying skeleton king in front of him has this ability to defy the sky.
"This is just my intuition. I think it should be the ability I have learned after soaking in the blood pool for thousands of years." Florento thought about it thoughtfully and said playfully, "If you are a Green or an Iceman, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me now?"
"So that's how it is!" Ye Hen suddenly realized. It seemed that the master's mind was set to be that only players from two countries that Florento did not hate could communicate with him so much. With Ye Hen's keen intuition, he could naturally realize that this was a hidden mission!
"Is there anything I can help you?" Ye Hen's tone became even more respectful. He had no reason to be disrespectful to a warrior who sacrificed his life for the country. What's more, this is likely to trigger a generous hidden mission.
Hearing Ye Hen's words, Florento actually laughed. He didn't know if it was an illusion or a real existence. The skeleton king in front of him just pulled up a few tiny bones at the corner of his mouth and showed a slight smile, "Little guy, you're very smart, I do have something to ask for."
"I am willing to serve you." A smile also flashed across Ye Hen's mouth. If you have nothing to ask for, who would believe that you, a lord-level monster, would talk nonsense to a player for so long?
"Although I have extremely strong strength now, due to the limitations of some rules, I cannot step out of the Valley of the Undead." Florento's tone was a little confused. He didn't understand why he had such strong strength but could not get out of a small valley. He didn't know that this was the limit of the Lord God in their mouths in the dark. Just kidding, if this lord-level 80ss who was not inferior to the Pope rushed into the town, what else could it be?
Hearing Florento's puzzled words, although Ye Hen knew the mystery, he was not convenient to point it out, and just waited for Florento's following.
"Since I have recovered my consciousness, after hundreds of years of hardening, my monstrous hatred has been almost wiped out. Green is our hometown after all, and I don't want my hometown to be ravaged and trampled by anyone one day." The Skeleton King's tone seemed a little calm. He looked at the gloomy sky sadly and said to Ye Hen, "Now I have only one wish, that is, to allow the brothers who died in the breakthrough battle to rest in peace. They are now all undead without independent consciousness. Whenever I see those brothers who were once alive, they have become walking dead with only a huge resentment left. My soul will be tortured like hell and will never be able to get peace."
Looking at the lord-level skeleton king who showed his true feelings, Ye Hen moved his heart slightly, and subconsciously bowed and said, "How can I help them?"
At this moment, Ye Hen was already moved by the loyalty and passion of the warriors of the Third Legion. If he could help them, it would be a very happy thing.
"If you want to cleanse the boundless anger on them, there is only one way to use the sacred relics of the Holy Church as a medium to release the magnificent light of purification, so that they can completely rest."
Hearing Florento's words, Ye Hen's eyes lit up and he asked, "Where is the Purification Pearl in the Holy Church?"
With the flying claws and the golden cicada's shells, if you want to talk about stealing items, I'm afraid no one in the whole game will dare to compare with him.
"The Purification Pearl is the orb embedded in the Pope's crown, which looks like a night pearl. Little guy, would you help me?" Florento asked with a look of hope.

"accept!"
