Under the night, Starwind City, which had escaped the flames of war, was quietly recuperating.
However, among the sweet dreams, some people find it difficult to fall asleep.
A black shadow passed through the air and landed on the edge of the square.
The dim magic crystal lamp illuminated the knight's fiery red short hair and the scars on his resolute face.
Felix jumped off the back of the gryphon and stroked his partner's neck to calm the orange war beast.
He turned and walked into the shadows of the square.
In the quiet night, there were only two things in the huge square, still emitting strong light.
One is the space-time gate located at the end of the square that is still under restoration.
The other is the Morning Star Monument in the center of the square. The torch placed below will burn all night long, and the blazing fire will illuminate the huge monument.
Felix walked in the darkness, the cold winter air filling his lungs, and the officer's combat boots made a rustling sound on the broken square floor tiles.
As he moved forward, he looked at the monument with a pious expression.
In the past, the Morning Star Monument was made of pure white rock. Its structure and style were very simple. There was a rising silver star carved on the towering monument.
The original monument was damaged in the war that just ended, and at the special request of the lord, a new monument was quickly built.
This time, the shape of the monument was completely changed.
It still consists of a huge pedestal and statues.
The name of the hero is recorded on the large base below, and the sculpture above is replaced by the image of a warrior.
The statue is completely black and has a strong metallic texture.
The soldier's face was unclear, and his right arm was cut off at the root.
The armor on his body was in tatters, and his lower body was disintegrated piece by piece, annihilated by the flames of war. The only intact left arm was hanging down weakly.
But everyone could see that there was a Silver Star Griffin flag stained with blood and dirt tied to his arm.
This is the new Morning Star Monument.
It symbolizes the countless defenders who sacrificed their lives to protect Satellite Ridge.
Their names and images will forever stand on this land, receiving the respect and memory of those they protect.
The closer they got to the monument, the softer Felix's footsteps became, as if he was afraid of disturbing their slumber.
However, when he came to the front of the monument, he noticed that there was someone else here.
It was a tall demon, standing motionless in front of the monument.
It was only when Felix emerged from the light of the fire that the demon noticed his presence.
"Oh...it's the red-haired brat."
Ossis' voice was low, and a smile appeared on the devil's face.
"Mr. Ossis," Felix said respectfully, "you haven't rested yet."
"The devil never sleeps, my friend, the war in Talengard is in full swing, why do you still have time to come here?"
"The coalition forces have arrived at Talengad City and will launch a general attack tomorrow evening," Felix explained. "This is a special moment worth remembering, isn't it?"
"After these decades of ups and downs, that damn Castlevania will finally return to human rule," Osis sighed. "I didn't expect that in the end, only me, the damnedest person, is left standing here, Wind. Old man, this is all thanks to your stupid plan."
"What did you say? Who is Wende?" Felix asked doubtfully.
"Oh, it's nothing, just an old friend..." Osis laughed dryly, "It's you, red-haired boy, do you know what kind of burden you have taken on?"
"Li Ran actually asked you to be the new leader of the Griffin Claws Chapter. Historical experience proves that every leader of the Griffin Claws Chapter has a bad end. This is a cursed position!"
Ossis cursed fiercely.
"People will always die," Felix said with a smile, "This is an honorable position. As long as I breathe the air of the Star Wind Territory, I will continue to fight."
"Oh my God, you are indeed cursed!"
Ossis couldn't help but cover his face and said: "What is cursed is not your mortal fate, but your stupid head!"
"Good luck to you, red-haired boy. I hope you outlive Umberto and Dewey."
Just as Felix was about to talk, the great demon suddenly burst into flames, turned into a ball of ashes amid the explosion, and disappeared into the night wind.
"Space teleportation is really useful..."
Felix shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The Chapter Master of the Griffin Claws stood in front of the monument for a while before quietly leaving.
He boarded a gryphon, rushed into the icy night sky, and flew northwest, preparing to participate in the battle to regain Talengard.
