The peaceful and ordinary life is already a vague memory for the empire's chief Jiang Liu.
The war between the Tang Dynasty and Western Turkistan ended reluctantly at a tragic cost.
During the war, Jiang Liu lost his home, family, division commanders, and comrades-in-arms. In the last battle, the whereabouts of his spiritually bonded sentinel partner Jizo were also missing, with no body left.
In despair, Jiang Liu searched every piece of scorched earth on the battlefield, but could not find any trace of his partner.
It was not until three years later that the leader of the West Turk Empire, Dark Sentinel, who came to conclude a peace treaty, walked up to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu was horrified to discover that the enemy of the Tang Empire, the Dark Sentinel of the West Tutu, had exactly the same face as his partner Ksitigarbha.
No one knows what happened between Jiang Liu and the Dark Sentinel that day.
After that, a fragile peace ushered in between the two empires of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks.
And Jiang Liu, the chief guide of the Tang Empire, became a combined guide without a partner.
No one knows who Jiang Liu's sentinel partner is. Bored busybodies make dark speculations on the Internet. Jiang Liu disappears for a few days every three months for no reason, which is the food for their rumors.
Jiang Liu never argued or explained. He was immersed in the work of imperial administration. He was an assistant to the imperial prime minister and the principal of the Central Sentinel Academy. His life has only one meaning, which is to maintain this costly peace for the people of Tang Dynasty.
However, this wish was also silently destroyed by reality.
A strange phenomenon has occurred in various countries around the world, and the proportion of sentinels awakening is rapidly increasing.
Several small countries in the western regions of the Tang Empire lacked the ability to appease the sentinels, causing the sentinels to riot and the country to collapse.
At the same time, the dark sentinels of the West Turk Empire quietly appeared beside the people of the Tang Dynasty in another form.
Jiang Liu desperately realized that he must face this powerful and terrifying dark sentinel again.
At this time, a wild monkey full of vitality, the central sentry sentry to the school's new students, a problem student who was disobedient to discipline, the S-class sentinel Sun Yao, appeared next to Jiang Liu.
……
"Principal Jiang, follow me and stop worrying about those people and things! Look at what kind of life you have been living these past years?!"
"Jiang Liu, follow me. I can make you and Jizo live happily together. We are the strongest sentinels and the strongest guides. We can reshape a better world."
The plot is very complicated and there are many foreshadowings. In the early stage, the emotional line is slightly light and warms up slowly.
If you can guess the final truth, you lose.
The article has a prequel, which mainly explains the origin of Jiangliu's Sentinel Ksitigarbha, which does not affect the reading of this article.
Note: The time background of the story is the second civilization after the collapse of the first human civilization. The names of some countries are adapted from ancient country names, mainly to facilitate the understanding of the geographical location of several countries, such as the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks, and the European continent. Can you guess where they are just by looking at their names? All other landmasses in the world were turned into scorched earth unfit for human habitation during a civilization-destroying war.
This article has nothing to do with history, so don't take it personally.
