"She's just a child. ”

"God, didn't you say that after graduating from seminary, you will go straight to the church, how can you suddenly ......?"

"I strongly disagree, what the hell are you thinking, letting a fifteen-year-old girl go to war?"

The Croleys' family, continuous protests and questions, made the sitting Lieutenant Colonel Reekton speechless.

The family's worries and protests kept echoing in Tiffany's ears, but she knew that she might not be able to meet their expectations in her life.

"Enough, please don't argue. ”

Tiffany got up from the couch and interrupted the crowd.

"Joining the army and becoming a sergeant of the empire is my own will and choice, and it is also my mission to bear the name of the apocalypse! ”

Harriet looked at her precious daughter unacceptably.

"Tiffany, oh no! it shouldn't be like this, how could it be. ”

Harriet sobbed sadly, covered her mouth, and ran out of the living room, she really couldn't understand why Tiffany, who had been well-behaved and easy-going since childhood, could be so determined in this matter.

Atwood also looked at his daughter in disbelief.

"You're really crazy, tell me, how did those old guys brainwash you, they shouldn't have let you leave home for so many years, Antonio's old immortal, tell him to come to me, let the fifteen-year-old girl go to death, is this worthy of being someone else's godfather!"

Atwood grew irritated and yelled at his daughter.

Bishop Quinn, who was next to Lieutenant Colonel Reekton, looked a little ugly when he heard this, and wanted to say something, but he felt that he didn't have the face to speak, after all, he had made all this happen by himself at the beginning.

Evan hurriedly tugged at his father's arm, signaling him not to continue to lose his words.

Lieutenant Colonel Reckton was a little dissatisfied with the reaction of the Crolys, and immediately said:

"Your lord, I hope you can understand that it is an extremely glorious thing for the Holy Maiden to join the army for the cause of the empire and the wider salvation of the Church, and the Holy Maiden is not as weak as Your Excellency imagined, please do not continue to tarnish the noble will and honor of the Holy Maiden who volunteered to join the army. ”

Atwood was furious and furious at this unexpected and sudden change. The rage overwhelmed him, and he slammed the table on his feet, ignoring Renekton's identity and his natural fear of soldiers, and roared:

"Fuck the shitty saints, I only know my little daughter, Tiffany Crowley, she's just turned fifteen today, how can you! You guys... Ahem, ahem. ”

Atwood's overly excited roar caused him to be a little distracted.

Ai Wenqiang grabbed his father, who was getting closer and closer to his sister while shouting, pressed his father on the sofa, and comforted him with kind words:

"Father, please don't be so angry, please control it. There are still guests here, so please give Bishop Quinn and Lieutenant Colonel Renekton some respect. ”

"If beating me would make my father feel better, then I would bear it, but in this matter, I have made up my mind. ”

Tiffany said indifferently with a blank face.

Ai Wen looked at his sister, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, he didn't know what his sister was thinking, and he didn't know what had happened to his sister outside all these years Why he suddenly wanted to join the army, looking at his sister like that didn't look like someone else forced her.

But he knew he had no right to ask anything.

After all, on the road of my sister's growth, I didn't have my own figure, and my sister has never been a girl who needs care since she was born.

But he still couldn't help but ask:

"Sister, I call you sister, I am the brother of your mother's compatriots, although I have never fulfilled the responsibility of an older brother.

I'm not trying to stop you, and I'm not in a position to scold you like my father, and I don't understand why you chose this path.

But I still want to ask you, do you really want to be in the company of those men who are covered in smoke and smelly sweat and blood, and choose to roll in blood and mud?

This is not a game on a whim, nor is it a test in the academy, if you fail, you will have a chance to start over, and you will regret it on the battlefield later, and it will be too late to retreat.

You must know that the empire is currently in a state of war, and the empire's ambitions are very large, and the number of hostile countries will increase at any time, and now joining the army is equivalent to going directly to the front line.

If it's for better development, why do you have to go to this troubled water, it's not suitable for a girl of your age, you have a great future, and you have a more stable and happy life to choose from. I really can't figure out why you're rushing to a battlefield full of blood and shells. ”

"For the glory of the Empire, for the mission and justice given by the Church. ”

Tiffany replied with a flat face.

Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, he never expected that his sister, who was only fifteen years old in front of him and had blue eyes that were clearer than the sky, would say such words that he did not expect so naturally.

At the same time, he also understood that his sister was indeed not a whim.

"And, dear Aven, I have never failed in the Academy's tests. ”

Tiffany smiled at Evan rarely, Tiffany's smiling face was so innocent, and the corners of the girl's mouth were outlined like a bright silver moon.

However, the innocence on Tiffany's smiling face, at this time, in Aven's opinion, there was no girl's appearance at all, he only felt the coldness of steel, his sister was obviously standing in front of him, but she was so far away...

Lieutenant Colonel Recton on the side looked at the cold and resolute girl in front of him and couldn't help but think

"This is our holy woman. ”

So he straightened up, and Renekton stepped forward and handed over the letter to Atwood:

"I also ask the head of your family to sign the letter and express his support for the cause of the Holy Maiden. ”

Atwood slumped on the couch and looked at the radiant Renekton, and then at Tiffany, who was as radiant as the sun at all times, and realized that he had never known this always good and well-behaved daughter, so he could not understand Tiffany's rare disobedience today.

He understood that Lieutenant Colonel Renekton and his daughter had only come to inform him of the guardian today, and even if he didn't agree to it in his heart, he couldn't stop it, and the wood was already in the boat.

At this time, Atwood only regretted entrusting his daughter to the church, and he would rather Tiffany be like an ordinary girl, not so good, if he could spend more time with her, maybe Tiffany's life would be much more stable and peaceful in the future.

He only felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, as if something particularly important had been lost, and there was a kind of despair in his heart, as if his daughter was gone, she would never be his own daughter again.

He trembled and signed the document of the General Staff Office dealing with the law, and then closed his eyes tiredly, as if he were more than ten years old......

In the evening, under the afterglow of the setting sun and the reluctant gaze of their families, the backs of Tiffany and Antonio slowly disappeared into the horizon.

Instead of returning to the capital, Lendônia, they took the train they had arrived to the southwest, to the port city of Putzmore on the southern coast of the empire.

Putzmore is located in the Imperial Putzmore Naval Base, which is located in the imperial territory of Bretamia Continent due south, south of the Ingillian Strait, northwest of the capital of Lendonia, the strait has the island of Wilt to give a barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Imperial naval base is well-equipped and large-scale.

As a traditional naval power, the empire has a strong industrial and manufacturing capacity, relying on the technological leadership brought about by the industrial reform and the gradual accumulation of scientific and technological advantages in recent years, the empire has been able to send the empire's troops here since the last century to cover two-thirds of the world's area, and gradually conquer most of the world.

The night of January 6, 1914 in the imperial calendar

The train carrying Antonio was about to enter Putzmores, and Tiffany leaned her head against the window to look at the scenery that kept passing by outside the window, and Antonio was sitting in front of the old god, closing his eyes and recuperating.

As Tiffany opened the window and looked at the night with the sea and the sky, she felt a little lost in her heart.

As the train continues to run, you can already see the waves churning on the sea, and even at night, you can know what a beautiful blue wave is under the crystal of the moonlit water and sky.

All this was reflected in Tiffany's eyes, which made her a little intoxicated after a long time.

Sure enough, no matter which country you are in, under which starry sky, the night and the sea are the same elegant and beautiful.

She didn't lie to her parents and brother to a certain extent, she was indeed for the mission, and everything she did was for the mission.

It's just that the college that I talked about to my brother during the day is not the capital seminary that I claim to the outside world.

Apocalypse Tiffany Crowley was born in a small village (now renamed Apocalypse Village) in the southern city of Bretagemia, where the United Kingdom of the Empire's former subject state is located.

Imprinted with the aura of miracles from birth, she was discovered by the Church at the age of two and recognized as a goddaughter and disciple by Archbishop Antonio, and since then she has studied theology with Antonio and studied culture at the Academy.

But this is really just a cover-up, and this public resume is some of the means used by the empire to protect her mystery as a saint from being coveted by other countries.

Including the letters sent home in middle school, the daily life of middle school described in them are all forged.

Tiffany was announced to be gifted, entering secondary school at the age of six, and seminary at the age of ten, until graduating this year.

In reality, however, Tiffany's genius was even more incredible, as he graduated from secondary school at the age of six and graduated with honors from the Royal Military Academy at the age of ten, where he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant.

For the next four years, Tiffany did not study theology in the capital, but in the Papal Templar Tower, the Papal Templar Academy, located in the Holy See, the capital of Indalian, one of the Commonwealth States of the Empire.

Eventually, she graduated from the Templar Tower with the Crown Rank and was able to meet the Pope and the Head of the Empire, and was given the name of the Holy Maiden.

Tiffany knew that whether she was acting as an instrument of the empire and the church, or for her own long-cherished wishes, she was not qualified to have a real family and a dull life.

She endured for many years, greedily learned knowledge and skills, played the role of a pious saint, easily did not come into contact with people, and maintained a holy and pure image since she was a child, in order to go to this day of the army, and her own "mission"......

But is her mission and long-cherished wish as Antonio expected?

Suddenly a gust of sea breeze blew Tiffany's thoughts away, and she looked at Antonio, who was still closed, as if he were asleep.

She continued to poke her head out, letting the sea breeze blow on her slightly immature white face...

Tiffany breathed a sigh of relief and closed the window.

Her clear eyes now became distant and deep, her gaze passed through the glass that reflected her indifferent expression, looked at the sea in the distance, and listened to the wind rubbing against the glass, she knew that she would not have time to stop and enjoy the tranquility...

She must hurry, before that, she must achieve her long-cherished wish, she must catch up!

The train is about to go to the heart of the great waves of this age, and for the sake of her mission, she must continue to endure, she must become a sword of the empire and the church, and she must have enough influence to make it happen...
