The final chapter, the dead silence

Crossbell fell silent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As one of the economic centers of mainland Semuria, Crossbell has always been known for its wealth and bustle.

And now, it's dead silent.

Vice Speaker McDowell stood on the top floor of the Orchid Tower, looking down with a heavy face at the black smoke rising everywhere below, which was the wolf smoke of the Calamity.

Crossbell, how many more disasters like this will be experienced?

At the same time, various surrounding countries sent "greetings" with different contents. Some people expressed their condolences in a false way, some people expressed mockery with sharp words, some said that it was because Crossbell had to be independent to invite the destruction, and some people said that if Crossbell was unable to protect himself, he would not mind sending troops to help defend it as a friendly neighbor......

In all the hypocrisy, only Liebel's Royal Highness the Queen is a clear stream, she sincerely thanked Crossbell for the humanitarian rescue of the Elsaiyu, and promised to provide a batch of supplies to temporarily help Crossbell read the biggest difficulty.

What made Deputy Speaker McDowell feel somewhat relieved was the striking unity of opinion among the people: Crossbell must be independent.

On the contrary, this disaster strengthened the independent mood of the people of Crossbell.

As early as more than 20 years ago, Crossbell often had some inexplicable incidents, such as the explosion of the transport vehicle, for example, the food in the store was suddenly mixed with poison, for example, there would be monsters that jumped over Crossbell's defense and broke into the homes of some large families to kill, etc., if you carefully investigate these events, it is not difficult to find that they all have one thing in common:

Among those who died as a result of the incident, there must be republicans or imperialists. If there is neither, then there must be some centrists who are not obvious in the political camp.

Once or twice can be a coincidence.

Five times out of three times can be a small chance.

But ten times and a hundred times, then there is no way to explain it.

Even civilians, who go to and from work every day, eat and sleep, smell some political darkness from this unusual incident.

It can be said that the citizens of Crossbell grew up in this panic. After baptism after baptism, the people have become incomparably stronger.

Because of the fall of the fortress of Gareria, there was a group of martyrs' families in Erebonia, who strongly demanded that the empire give them an explanation.

And the people of Crossbell have lost their homes, lost their families, and they have a different answer.

They did not condemn the government, nor did they complain, but they were surrounded by deep sorrow, but they did their best to encourage each other, and even encouraged Deputy Speaker McDowell.

After all the grief, they may have realized that if Crossbell became independent, they would inevitably be attacked more harshly. Their Speaker is bound to endure situations that are countless times more severe than theirs. If the people of the government don't support it, who will?

"Come on, Speaker."

This is a letter handed over to the Orchid Tower guard by a surviving little girl this morning, and the letter has been passed around several times before finally falling into the hands of Deputy Speaker McDowell.

The crooked words, it can be seen that this is the word she has just worked hard to learn.

Underneath is a crooked drawing of a girl with a double ponytail, next to him is a guard in white, and above them, a child in a suit - the Speaker of the Seminar.

Seeing the untidy pattern, Deputy Speaker McDowell couldn't hold back his tears.

This old man, who has been in the political arena all his life, cried like a child.

How many more families will be displaced?

In the end, how many more people will shed blood?

In the end, how much more must be sacrificed for Crossbell to usher in a bright future?

Deputy Speaker McDowell's heart was filled with grief.

The post-disaster reconstruction was entrusted to the mayor of Dita, because the Speaker of the Duchy of Crossbell, Shohalman, was missing. Ignoring the obstruction of the Karumun Consortium, after sacrificing nearly three hundred guards, everyone finally broke through the ten people of the Karumun Consortium guarding the door of the Speaker of the Chamber.

Waiting for them was an empty Speaker's room, and the table had begun to fall with dust.

Mayor Dita's hair fell out a lot.

Vice Speaker McDowell looked at this middle-aged man, who was always full of energy, and grabbed his hair with a solemn face.

"Dongfang said, three thousand troubles...... Well, if that's the case, I'll go shave my head......"

These are the words of Mayor Dita who looked at the handful of blonde hair in his hands one day and laughed at himself.

This incident is too big a blow to everyone.

――――――――

Naturally, the Support Division was involved in the post-disaster reconstruction work.

Although it is said to be rebuilt, in fact, it is only the most insignificant thing.

The police and guerrillas have joined forces to distribute food and ensure safety in refugee camps on the outskirts of the city.

In the refugee camps, the only thing to be thankful for is probably that the will of the people of Crossbell has not been broken. This catastrophe has strengthened their determination that they must become independent, that they must become a sovereign and intact country, and that they must no longer be attacked by any other force.

They may have hated the Speaker of the Chamber, but none of them complained that he had not chosen a good partner to work with because he had taken the initiative to become independent. complained that he was still too young, although he had a sharp spirit that others did not have, and he also had the disadvantage of not being sharp enough.

The Karumen consortium has received several terrorist attacks.

The people of Crossbell took all their assets, gave them to one person, scraped together the price of a grenade, and then detonated them at the same time as they bought them, trying to die with them.

However, in the face of Ranster's near-invincible power of time, it was all in vain.

If time can be done, then the operator of time must be the strongest. Because no one could hurt him, there really was, he just needed to recover the time before he was attacked.

Ranster's ability happens to be the nemesis of all assassins. As long as you have what kind of attack you will usher in, then it will be easy to do.

This kind of thing only enriches Karumen's wallet, and then makes the refugees' already stretched life tighter and tighter.

Looking at the miserable lives of the refugees, Ellie felt her heart bleed.

Randy gripped the Berserker in anger.

Lloyd didn't say a word.

Vaji left, and everyone thought he would return to the Holy Book Society, but he didn't. Randy said, "Probably, he's back where he was supposed to be." looks like he's very familiar with him.

Tio and Hexu held hands, neither of them spoke, and even Hexu, an optimist, was infected by the pain of the refugees and was breathless.

Estelle and Joshua came temporarily as helpers for the Guerrilla Society, and Liber and Calvard also came to their aid.

Thankfully, no one grabbed them by the collar and shouted, "Why didn't you protect us?"

To the distress of the Support Division, no one grabbed their lord and shouted: Why didn't you protect us! Because, if they say so, both the support department and themselves will feel much better.

But they didn't, they knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with these kind people.

"Good work."

Saint Arios, the Sword of the Wind, walked towards Lloyd with his sword.

This man has long been known as the "Patron Saint of Crossbell", and his presence is the most courageous to the refugees.

Therefore, he had to travel back and forth to the camps so that the refugees could see his face.

"No, it won't."

Lloyd quietly replied and held out his right hand to him, and Arios nodded, went over to shake his hand, and continued to patrol the refugee camp.

The expression on the face of the Support Division was heavy.

Vincent said categorically: It was the Sword Saint of the Wind who took away Kia, and he himself took the arm of the Sword Saint of the Wind.

And now it seems that it is a false accusation.

Because, when Lloyd shook hands, he could clearly sense the body temperature and pulse on that hand, and Theo also explored it with his own sensors, and concluded that it was a real arm, which belonged to Arios. Not a prosthetic hand or prosthetic.

Then the conclusion is obvious, there is a person who pretends to be the Sword Saint of the Wind and snatches Kia.

However, Lloyd always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Because......

Why would the enemy do such a pointless thing?

Pretending to be the Sword Saint of the Wind doesn't make any sense at all. Because, this lie is broken as soon as it is poked......

Why?

Lloyd only felt that the weight on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.

Eldest brother......

He couldn't help but think of his eldest brother, and couldn't help but escape into the arms of his eldest brother again.

If it was the eldest brother, what would he do?
