    When the small door of the cell was opened, the light from outside broke in and dispersed all the darkness inside.  The strong light cast a black shadow on Rodan. He closed his eyes subconsciously, bent over in pain, and kept rubbing his eyes with his hands.  After being in the dark environment for a long time, the sudden light made his eyes sting.

    Out of habit, the guard patted Luo Dan on the head with pity to reassure him. He stood by the door, preventing the three people from entering the room, and at the same time, he was vigilant about their every move.  There is a red cordon on the ground. Visitors must not cross it, otherwise the guards will take action immediately.  At the same time, the experienced guard is also vigilant about the communication between their eyes and words. If there is anything wrong at all, he will forcibly terminate the visit and prevent the prisoner from taking advantage of it.

    Of course, the laws of the Atark Empire are very strict, and the name of Anderst Prison can scare a group of people.  However, there are still many cases of prisoners escaping or committing suicide, so guards need to be prepared at all times.

    Luo Dan squinted his eyes. After he got used to the sudden light, he slowly opened his eyes.  Lear, Bert and Jesdan were reflected in the red pupils. He opened his mouth silently, as if he was surprised by the stranger's visit.  In his memory, the first action of people who came to visit him was to glare at him. He had not seen friendly eyes for a long time.

    There are not many furnishings in the cell, an iron bed, a candle, a set of wooden tables and chairs, and nothing else.  Prisoners can easily go crazy in such a closed room, so the prison also arranges a daily outing to let prisoners go out for a walk.  But this cannot relieve the prisoners' desire for freedom. They need freedom like they need oxygen.  Therefore, after a moment of surprise, Rodan began to feel happy to be able to see the outside world.

    "You look like you're not doing well, Mr. Lordan," Leal said.

    "Of course, Anderst Prison." Rodin smiled bitterly. He was still wearing the clothes he wore before he was imprisoned, an ordinary set of long-sleeved clothes and a pair of cheap pants.  This is enough to prove that his life is not rich.  There are some scars on the arms and legs, which are caused by severe torture. A whip or a branding iron can quickly make the prisoner surrender.

    Of course, Rodan¡¯s eyes retain perseverance and tenacity. He has maturity and courage in his thirties, and his life as a soldier has left him with the most precious qualities.  The fortitude of Atak people and the tenacity of men are things that can be preserved for a long time.  Rodan is no exception. As long as he changes back to his military uniform, he will become an excellent Atak soldier again.  But now, Anderst Prison has sprinkled a handful of dust on his glory, covering up all the shining points, leaving only some moldy things that are disgusting.

    "Aurika is your relative?" Jestang asked.

    "Ah, Orica." Rodan said happily, "Is she okay now?"

    "Very good." Lear looked at Bert, "She also asked us to help you."

    "Then I'm relieved." Luo Dan nodded, "She is my niece."

    Bert looked at Rodan carefully. He was very similar to Orica in many aspects. For example, his eyes were similar in shape and expression. They were full of vigor, just like the grass in the cracks of the rock. They still thrived in difficult situations.  grow.  .

    ¡°Many people think you created that gap.¡± Jessdown went straight to the point.

    "" Rodan's eyes dimmed instantly and no longer gave off any gleam. He whispered, "The so-called 'Lodan Gap', right? Will you believe what I say? Absolutely not.  Someone like me who has been ruined."

    "Olica asked us to help you." Lear repeated.

    "Really?" He seemed to have regained his energy and said loudly, "Please tell her that her uncle did nothing to harm the great Atak Empire! I am innocent." He was so emotional that he almost wanted to  Break out of the cordon.

    "Tell us what happened that day," Bert said firmly.

    "Ah, that day." Rodan fell into deep thought and said slowly, "I repeated what happened that day to many people, but no one believed me, but since it was sent by Orika, then I will say  Well. I still remember that it was snowing lightly that day I was on duty on the city tower, and there seemed to be voices of demons in the city. I felt that they were just sheep trapped in a cage, with no strength to resist. At this time, one of the  The soldier suddenly came to me and asked me to go to the general's tent, so I walked down the tower and ran to General Claudette's tent. I found something strange today. In the past, there were many soldiers patrolling next to the general's tent.  Now there was no one. But I didn¡¯t think much and entered the tent anyway.¡±

    "After entering the tent, the general's expression was as usual, and he just confirmed the fact that I was on duty tonight. He told me that there were still a small number of people in the Warsong Capital who had not left the city, and asked me to stay thereGo and open the city gate at ten o'clock in the evening.  General Claudette also gave me a certificate with his personal seal, so that I could order the soldiers guarding the door to open the door.  I didn't think much about it. After saluting the general, I quickly walked out of the tent and returned to my station to do my own thing.  By the time of the handover in the evening, it was already approaching ten o'clock, so I walked to the city gate and handed the certificate to the soldier guarding the gate.  Their actions were a bit strange. They opened the city gate so easily without looking at the proof carefully or asking for instructions.  "

    "But I didn't expect when the city gate was opened, countless demons held torches and rushed over from the distance of the street. Some of them were extremely fast demons and quickly rushed up to the city wall. They seemed to be prepared in advance.  And with the determination to die, they stopped the soldiers and prevented the city gate from being closed. The demon army passed through the city gate one after another, escaped from the Warsong Capital, and went to the distant wilderness. Later, the main force of our army arrived and fought with the demon army.  The tribe engaged in a fierce battle, and many of the demon tribe were annihilated. The remaining people returned to Zhan Song and continued to defend, while more and more demon tribe members escaped smoothly."

    " Later, a team asked who gave the order to open the door, and I was pointed out. When I raised the certificate in my hand, I found that the general's seal on the certificate was blurred. With a touch of my hand, it was all  I lost it. General Claudette came over and scolded me for my private orders and forged certificates. Then, I was sent to Anderst Prison No one believed what I said. They all thought I was spreading rumors and trying to clean up my life.  Clear yourself of your crimes." Luo Dan finished the last sentence with a long sigh.

    "It turns out that everything was Claudette. Once we prove your innocence, you can be released from prison." Bert encouraged Rodan, "Don't worry, we will leave now and we will definitely clear your grievances."

    "But I don't need it, really." Rodan raised his head. He straightened his clothes and made them as firm as possible. "I will go to the execution ground the day after tomorrow, and they will give me the result of being quartered on five horses -  ¡ªI deserve it.¡±

    "Then we have to prove your innocence!" Bert said loudly, he felt that the man in front of him was as magnanimous as a hero.

    "No." Rodan shook his head, "Yes, it was General Claudette who gave the order, but it was me who asked them to open the city gate! It was I who let tens of thousands of demon troops go, and it was I who killed more  The Atak people. I feel sorry for them. I can only use death to comfort the spirits of the deceased in heaven. My only regret is that the last man of the Sandiford family is about to die"

    "Listen, sir," Jersted said, "don't worry about this, Olica has found her destination, and the wedding may be held in a few months. Maybe you should live well for this surprise.  "

    "Really!" Luo Dan's eyes burst out with the pursuit of life again, "She finally found a man with whom she can grow old together. Alas, this poor little girl! Who is this man?" He suddenly felt that this  The world is full of dreams and hopes.  It couldn't be better for him that the Sandiford family can continue.

    "Me." Bert held his head high.

    "Oh, oh!" Rodin said happily. He took out a small shield-shaped badge from his pocket. The badge was engraved with a golden surname: Sandyford.  He stroked it with respect, recalling everything about his childhood, his ancestors, his military journey, and his companions.  A proud smile appeared on his face and he threw the badge.  The guard grabbed it with quick eyes and hands. After studying it carefully, he found that there was nothing hidden inside.  So he handed the badge to Bert and returned to his statue-like state, as if the previous actions were not done by such a silent person.

    "Give it to Orika." Rodan said, "The coat of arms of the Sandiford family cannot be kept by a sinner like me."

    He never recognized himself again from beginning to end, and he still felt that he had committed a great crime.  Perhaps it was for this reason that he was unwilling to continue to keep the family crest, but instead gave it to the other of the two remaining members of the current Sandiford family.  He felt that the family's glory must not be tarnished by himself.  Handing over the badge meant that he gave up all honor.

    "Olica must want you to attend her wedding." Bert said, and then put the badge into his pocket.

    "The time is almost up, gentlemen." the guard interjected.

    "There's no way I'm going to miss that child's wedding." Luo Dan habitually made a military salute. This is a habit that soldiers cannot change.  He may no longer acknowledge his glory, but he always feels that he is a soldier of the Atak Empire.  As for a soldier, he must have the appearance and behavior of a soldier. He will not tolerate himself trampling on his dignity as a soldier.  In fact, almost every soldier of the Atak Empire has this idea, that is, they would rather die as a soldier.
