Prologue, Cross Bell's situation
Lancet's satellite cannons were huge, but they were very accurate, and they were all aimed at the secret strongholds of the Society and the Church. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Knights of the Star Cup suffered heavy losses, as did the Society.
However, both of these messages came from the mouths of Waji and Vita, so it is unknown how much credibility there is. No one will tell their story completely.
The whole world is in chaos.
Although the satellite cannon is very accurate, it is not accurate enough to hit a single target, so it is inevitable that a large number of people will be affected.
Death and destruction bring fear to mankind.
However, what is more frightening than death and destruction is the unknown.
Earthquakes are terrible, but what is even more terrifying is the aftershocks that do not know when they will erupt.
In the same way, the satellite cannon is terrible, but the living have to think: when, and when will the satellite cannon fall the pillar of light of sanctions?
Thinking about this, everyone couldn't sleep at night.
In this regard, the support department is much stronger than them, knowing that they are unable to cope with lack of sleep, everyone rested well yesterday.
Dudley called everyone to the Orchid Tower, the meeting room that had once been used to entertain heads of state was now full of the relevant personnel of the Support Section. In front of everyone, Vita reexplains Lance's power and reasons, and Vargi swears to the goddess in the name of the guardian knight of the Star Cup, and Vita is completely correct in saying "in terms of strength".
Crossbell is messy.
It's messy.
First of all, is Crossbell repairing? Under the dictatorship of the Grand Duke of Harman.
Dictatorship is not a useless method of governance.
When there is only one person in power in the whole country, it is natural that there will be much less resistance to the implementation of any laws and regulations.
If it's multiple parties, there must be a war of words, right? In fact, Crossbell's tragedy was caused by the intrigue between the imperial and republican parliamentarians. If it were not for the dictatorship, it would never have been possible to clear the sights of these two factions in such a short period of time.
But......
"Repair? Harman, confirmed dead. ”
These are the words of Arian Hurd.
Straight as she is, she will not make such jokes. Why does she know?
"Because, it's my hand."
Although the Speaker has practiced a little bit of court swordsmanship, no one really thinks that that little bit of court swordsmanship can fight against the legendary Saintess of Steel, right?
Secondly, the Speaker of the Amendment has completed the cleanup, and the subsequent reins will be led by Mayor Dita and Henry? Deputy Speaker McDowell is in charge.
And now, Mayor Dita has been arrested on suspicion of a major crime, naturally, it is impossible for a prisoner to be the mayor at the same time, go to the prison for labor reform during the day, and sit in the office at night for approval? That's a joke.
As a result, now internal affairs are also in chaos.
Deputy Speaker Henry is indeed very talented, but after all, he is old, and he is both Speaker and Mayor at the same time, which makes this old man who has witnessed the rise and fall of Crossbell more and more emaciated.
The spirit is not bad, but no matter how you look at it, the face is about to be wooden, and the thin body seems to be able to blow him to pieces if you speak a little loudly.
Also, when Kia's power was withdrawn, it led to large-scale chaos.
Of course, Deputy Speaker Henry...... No, Archduke Temporary, Henry, immediately made an important speech to boost the morale of the people, however, it was only a drop in the bucket. Everyone has the heart to fight against Ranster, but there is really no power.
To put it mildly, although Crossbell has not experienced the baptism of satellite cannons, before, the chaos of the red constellation has made Crossbell unable to fight.
The smaller the country, the more it cannot afford to fight a war. Once the sophisticated production chain within the city is damaged, the funds, connections, and materials used for the war will all be broken. It's better to surrender quickly.
Faced with this situation, Xie Li had an innocent expression of "I don't understand what you are talking about", and it is estimated that she is not pretending, this little girl is only fifteen years old after all, and she understands such a complicated thing. Sigmund smiled, but he was noncommittal, and he had a mafia style of "what do you want, open the conditions".
At last...... What put Cross Bell in the biggest crisis was ......
The rebellion of the Wind Swordmaster.
Arios, known as the "Patron Saint of Crossbell", can be said to be the last pillar of the people of Crossbell. Now, the people are discovering that what they think is the pillar of the house is actually harming the whole house......
This psychological gap......
Above, Crossbell fell into complete chaos.
"Although I'd love to help you...... But ......"
Henry? McDowell was like a dry bone, under the tired dark circles, the sunken eye sockets and the shining eyes, all indicating that the old man had stayed up late for several days.
"But now Crossbell really can't do more to help you......"
The old man's voice was full of guilt.
Because, I really can't show the strength.
As an old man, it is painful to watch young people challenge insurmountable obstacles.
As a temporary Grand Duke, it was even more painful to watch his people face a great unknown threat.
As a grandfather, it is extremely painful to see that his granddaughter is facing a huge problem, but he can't do anything about it.
The three are superimposed, and the old man seems to think of the day his daughter and son-in-law divorced.
On that day, the old man lost his son-in-law, and he left the place in disheartened.
On that day, the old man lost his daughter, and still loved his daughter, and it would be painful to stay in Crossbell, so she chose to go back to her parents' home.
On that day, the old man lost one of the good politicians of Cross Bell's neutral faction, and on that day, the old man lost his own family.
The great pain made the old man in a trance.
In fact, it's a sign of tiredness to the limit. He couldn't concentrate on what to think about.
“…… I'm sorry...... It's us who should apologize. ”
Lloyd was apologetic, knowing that he had put too much pressure on the old man.
Leaving the room, the crowd fell silent. It's just a door, but it's like you're in two worlds.
"That, Lloyd......"
Suddenly, Ellie stopped him.
"Huh?"
"That...... I...... Sorry, nothing. ”
Ellie hesitated, obviously trying to say something, but she soon shut up.
"Well, Lloyd, I have something to say."
Just as Lloyd was about to ask, Guy spoke first.
"What's the matter, big brother?"
"Go ahead."
"Huh?"
"Do what you want to do. As for this Crossbell, as for the vulnerability in the absence of your support section, leave it to us. ”
Guy smiled, and his hearty expression made people sigh sincerely: Ah, this is Guy!
As he spoke, he reached out and hooked Arios's neck, and with the other he hooked Sergei's shoulder, and with a little force, the heads of the three men were knocked together.
"We are the invincible Sergaiban. It's time for you to know: Actually, your eldest brother and I are super powerful investigators, huh? The kind that is world-class. ”
"Hmph...... It's really unashamed to speak. ”
As a result, before Guy could speak, Dudley pushed his glasses and coldly sarcastic, and Guy laughed, showing a little embarrassment.
"However, the three of you are indeed much more useful than those in the Support Division."
Dudley smiled rarely, and there was some warm emotion on his cold face.
"Hmm...... Big Brother ......"
Lloyd was a little reluctant in his heart, but he knew that he shouldn't be emotional.
"Lloyd, remember what I said? In the face of huge barriers, it is not possible to break through. Now, it's time for you to break in. I've died once, and I'm not part of this world, either, or Chief Sergei. So, we'll back you up, but in exchange......"
Guy clenched his fists and reached out to Lloyd and Yu.
“…… The future of the world is up to you. ”
Lloyd was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to say yes or not to Guy. But You Chensi gave a clear answer: "No, Brother Guy." The future of the world belongs to everyone, but it should not be handed over to us. ”
"Haha, that's right. I'm confused. ”
Guy laughed and prevaricated.
At the same time, his cheerful and gentle gaze fell on Ellie, and the sunny warm feeling made Ellie full of strength.
Lloyd...... I don't think I'm going to go with you. ”
Ellie struggled to squeeze out a smile.
Of course, she wanted to stay with Lloyd.
"I'm only good at civilian work and politics, and I can't really count on combat effectiveness. I'm afraid I'll only be a burden to you in the next few vicious fights. So, instead of fighting, I should choose the right position for myself. I want to join the parliament of the Duchy of Crossbell and share my grandfather's burden, and if it is easier here, it will be easier for you to act, right? ”
Guy's words are not just a process of showing their hearts, but more to tell Ellie that they should choose what they should do.
"This ...... I understand. Ellie. Then I wish you all the best. ”
Lloyd nodded in response and left with the Support Section.
In a moment, there should be a flight of airships heading to Liber.
You have to hurry.
Ellie silently looked at his back, and she couldn't hold back, tears flowed down her eyes.
"Then if you want to accompany him, just catch up."
Suddenly, a lazy voice rang out.
"Vincent?"
"Hmm."
"You, why are you ......"
Ellie looked at Lloyd and them, the line had already gone far, at the end of the passageway, waiting for the escalator staircase.
Vincent, however, leaned against the door, like a gentleman, waiting for Ellie.
"I can't trust that guy."
He pouted, right in the direction of the Wind Swordmaster.
Arios was silent.
"Ahaha......"
"And...... Karuman rebelled...... It looks like my salary is ruined...... Really...... Why is my career so bad...... Isn't there a princess in any principality who needs bodyguards? ”
...... of the Principality Miss......
Ahaha...... Don't...... Say me again?
Could it be that you're worried about me?
Ellie smiled wryly, "I'm sorry, but Crossbell really can't come up with that much money right now......"
"That doesn't matter anymore. You can supply it to me later, or use equivalent supplies. If the support department leaves, it will be difficult to do it if there is no one who can suppress the situation, right? ”
Vincent said, pulling out the three-chucked stick from his pocket and unfolding it. The thin sound of the link is unexpectedly reassuring.
"I ...... Could it be that Vincent are you worried about me? ”
"Oh, yes. Who called you so similar to Collet...... I don't care about you, I can't do it. ”
Vincent said this blandly, so that people couldn't hear his feelings.
Do you like Ellie?
Or is it simple, thinking of her as a phantom of Collet?
Then only Vincent himself knows. (To be continued.) )
