[Second Holy Alliance, December 15, 478, 5 a.m., Sacred Tree Country, Maple Leaf Harbor, Port No. 1]

The first snow in Maple Leaf Harbor in December has just passed, and the dazzling starlight dots the misty night. The waves gently stir up the waves, and a piece of moonlight spills onto the ocean.

The towering and sacred building with golden light could be seen from afar, it was the tallest building in Maple Leaf Harbor and the headquarters of the Holy Alliance. The huge bronze clock swayed minute by minute, and the melodious pastoral song emanated from the Sévan church.

Whether it was the soldiers of the Tree Country or the Dragon Country, many of them lowered their heads and had words in their mouths.

No one fell asleep that night, because the next moment was likely to be a journey.

Bai Liuying lay in Qiu Fengyang's arms, sleeping peacefully, and kept muttering: Mom, Dad.

The streamer was inserted in front of the autumn wind and sun, and three words were engraved on the pitch-black scabbard: Bai Meiluo, the former owner of this sword.

Long golden hair fluttered in the breeze, and the blessing shrouded in the shawl fell into a deep sleep. He gently patted Bai Liuying's shoulder, muttering something with a laugh in his mouth.

At this moment, he seemed to have found what he needed to protect again.

At this moment, he regained the heart he had lost ten years ago.

Qiu Fengyang's attention had been on Bai Liuying, and he didn't feel that someone was watching him from the beginning.

"You must love this little girl very much, Your Excellency Qiu Fengyang-" Shi Jiangxue smiled, afraid of disturbing Bai Liuying's rest, she tried her best to lower her voice, she was very gentle, the same as her kind and lovely appearance, "I didn't expect the famous Qiu Feng Jianhao to also have a tender side-" Shi Jiangxue squinted, and Xueliang's bright eyes completed the shape of the moon.

"Shi Jiangxue?" Qiu Fengyang raised his head, and his eyes reflected this ordinary girl in the military uniform of the Shuguo.

"I'm glad that Autumn Wind Jianhao still remembered my name, and thought you would only appear in stories that people passed on by word of mouth. ”

Shi Jiangxue's tone was very calm, with envy, respect and helplessness.

Qiu Fengyang looked around, the other members of the team were resting, and took this opportunity to take a nap. It's not clear what kind of things will happen after setting sail, and recuperating is the best choice.

Shi Jiangxue is an ordinary girl, but she seems to have a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts.

"Brother Qiu, you must want to ask why I don't go to rest?"

Qiu Fengyang nodded, smiling without saying a word.

"I can't sleep and want to talk to you. Shi Jiangxue cautiously asked, "Excuse me, is it okay?"

"As long as you don't mind, because I'm not a talkative person. Qiu Fengyang said, "I used to have a friend, she was very talkative, and when she left, I rarely talked to others." He stared blankly at the streamer, and the past was gone.

"That person must be a very good person, and if he can become friends with Autumn Wind Jianhao, he must also be a legend—"

"No one remembers her except me, like that sword, which fades with the passing of time. Qiu Fengyang pointed to the streamer, "She is a very good person, just like me, she is a very powerful swordsman, if she is still alive, she must be a first-class master." ”

"It's a shame that the good guys left like that. Shi Jiangxue's sad appearance resembles the scene of heavy snow falling and the river surface frozen.

Qiu Fengyang smiled, and a warm sun blew away the ice and snow on the river.

"Let the past pass, those who have left will not come back, cherishing the present is the greatest wish of the deceased. ”

He gently touched Bai Liu's long hair, and the stars were reflected in his eyes.

Shi Jiangxue was stunned, she never thought that someone could hold the entire starry sky in their eyes.

When Qiu Fengyang saw that Jiang Xue was silent, he looked at her and asked in a low voice: "Why do you want a cute girl like you to join the army? It's not easy to open four veins, isn't it a better choice to be a psychic artist?"

Shi Jiangxue's cheeks were slightly red, and she muttered: "Maybe, I just felt that I should come here, I didn't think about becoming a hero, and I didn't think about making a contribution-"

"Is it an interest?"

She nodded, "So to speak." ”

"What a strange and funny girl. Qiu Fengyang sighed, "Where are you going to go after Operation Thunder Island?"

Shi Jiangxue shook her head and smiled: "I don't know." ”

"Don't know?"

She shook her head again, "Actually, I want to stay, like the Wind Chime General." ”

"General Wind Chime?" Qiu Fengyang thought for a while and said, "If this is your dream, you must stick to it." When you know that you only live once, then you have a reason not to follow the crowd. ”

"Has Brother Qiu always been like this?" asked Shi Jiangxue cautiously.

"No, that's what my friend said, but she left before she could see that day. So, be sure to grasp the moment. ”

"Understood. Shi Jiangxue nodded and said, "After the Thunder Island operation, I want to go home first." ”

"It's good, I should go back and see more. ”

"Where is Brother Qiu's home?"

"Me?" Qiu Fengyang was a little surprised.

"Hmm. Shi Jiangxue looked expectant, "My home is in Xie Du." ”

"Xie Du is the most beautiful city in the country of trees. ”

"Where's Brother Qiu?"

"The end of the world with swords, the four seas are home. ”

Unexpectedly, Shi Jiangxue couldn't hold back her laughter.

Poof-

"Is it funny?" Qiu Fengyang also laughed, he had never laughed so happily before.

Shi Jiangxue hurriedly waved her hand, "It's not funny, it's not funny, I just think Brother Qiu is so poetic." ”

"Poetic?"

Qiu Fengyang picked up Bai Liuying and stood up slowly, he used to have a father who loved poetry at the foot of the Blue Flower Mountain, but he left too early, leaving only a back.

He also had a friend, much like himself, who always liked to travel around with a broken sword in that era when swordsmen were everywhere. Spiritual power is not good, swordsmanship is not good, luck is very poor, and I like to fight unevenly.

A friend once smiled and told him that the sun has not yet fallen on his shoulders, and that those who start smiling do not need to rely on the light of others.

This is the most poetic sentence that Qiu Fengyang thinks, but that friend did not become a poet.

"Brother Qiu, I really envy the life of your swordsmen, the fresh clothes are angry and the horses are brocade, and the clouds on my chest are swinging. If only my swordsmanship was that good—"

Shi Jiangxue dragged out her voice very long, her eyes staring at the long sword blessing behind Qiu Fengyang's back in a daze.

"It's all the days of licking blood from the knife, many very good people have lost their lives, and the life of ordinary people is a happy life. ”

"But I don't want to live day by day, I don't want to live the kind of life where everything is arranged. Shi Jiangxue said, "The reason why I joined the army is also because I can meet a lot of novel things here, and I am really happy to be with everyone." She smiled with satisfaction, like a blooming fairy snow.

The cold wind of December blew the white shawl of the autumn wind and sun, and the light of the stars dimmed, and the blurred night seemed to be diluted. The glimmer of the morning sun gradually emerges from the endless horizon of the sea, and the red-dyed sea surface is sparkling, like a painter's painting.

Qiu Fengyang recalled what Bai Meiluo had said to himself back then, the road, in the embroidered robe of the east wind, in the morning sun and dawn.

"Here they are. ”

"Who?" asked Shi Jiangxue as she looked into the distance, she couldn't see anything on the horizon.

"The Snow Country Fleet, and the Snow Country Sword Immortal - Qi Yunming. ”

He didn't remember when it was, but Bai Meiluo once jumped in front of him from a tree and said to himself with a smile.

The world you are pursuing will never be the world you have now, everyone's tears are different, but the thoughts of wanting to cry are the same-

But he just smiled, a person is not to change the world, but to keep himself from being changed by the world.

——

A magnificent fleet pierced the silent dawn and emerged from the endless horizon like a divine soldier from the sky. Black dots the size of sand gradually enlarged, dotting the sun-stained sea. A hundred Glory-class battleships lined up, and the roar of the twin Fengyao 10 engines shook the entire No. 1 port. Two hundred Shine-class warships were scattered all around, escorting the Glory-class main ship.

The size of the fleet is in no way inferior to that of the Dragon Nation fleet.

The flag representing the Holy Alliance fluttered in the wind, and the sparse Snow Soldiers and the Ice Knights in blue, white and silver armor stood neatly on the deck, holding the Snow Nation flag in their hands.

The soldiers of the Tree Country and Dragon Kingdom in Port No. 1 all stood up almost at the same moment. Even without the commander's order, these soldiers involuntarily adjusted their formation and watched the Snow Country fleet enter the harbor together.

More than a dozen high-ranking officers of the Dragon Country Tree Country, led by General Bawen and General Wind Chime, walked out of the command room and walked to the coastline under the escort of Gu Monroe, Hua Ze, Mu Linsen, and more than a dozen spiritual masters who could open more than eleven veins.

"General Wind Chime, which one do you think is more spectacular compared to the size of the Alliance fleet and the Dragon Fleet?" asked Bavin.

"All of them are powerful, whether it is the alliance fleet, your country's fleet, of course, including the tree country fleet, these are the most powerful fleets in the world, and the good or bad is not in the weapons, but in the people who use them. Wind Chime smiled.

Ba Wen didn't speak, and quietly watched the four hundred and fifteen warships approaching little by little, like a petrified wax figure.

"I heard that the Snow Country Sword Immortal Qi Yunming will come. "I've never seen three inheritors appear at the same time in my life!" ”

"So it's war. Bawen's voice was hidden in the rumbling sound of the spiritual pulse resonating in the distance, but the people behind him could hear it very clearly.

Gu Monroe was very much looking forward to this opportunity, and the strength of Qi Yunming, known as the Sword Immortal of the Snow Country, was said to be comparable to Qiu Fengyang. For him as a battle maniac, this couldn't be more exciting. If Qi Yunming didn't have the identity of the inheritor of the Snow Country, he would have fought her as frantically as he chased Qiu Fengyang, because he was the strongest person in the Holy Alliance.

And Hua Ze on the side didn't care, he didn't have any interest in Qi Yunming, although they were all seven inheritors, they could only be regarded as colleagues they had never met. Of course, it would be different if it was a beauty, but Hanazawa had never seen a more beautiful woman than Sister Wind Chime, so he naturally lost interest.

As the battleship drew closer, the whole port of No. 1 trembled, the woods began to heal, and the sand on the beach began to bounce. In the distance, on Hall Beach, travelers who had stayed up all night gathered outside the border line in amazement as the Snow Priornet sailed into the harbor.

The boats are made of very light and thin materials, and the reason for the violent vibrations is due to the wind and flare engines. As the wind engine went out, the vibration stopped, and then it broke down and docked. Like the Dragonland soldiers, the Snow Soldiers walked down the elevators of the ten ships at the head of the row in ten columns.

The 5,000 Snowpiercer soldiers were very proud, and most of them were piloting crews. At the moment of disembarkation, they kissed the handrail of the elevator one after another, because from today these fleets are no longer their brothers, their escort mission has been completed, and the only thing left to do is to go home. The Ice Knights, who were not crewed, were at the rear, clad in blue and white armor and armed with silver-white swords, and their mission had only begun, which was to escort the soldiers home.

The senior officers led by Bawen and Feng Chi took off their hats and saluted these Snow Country soldiers, and even the arrogant Gu Monroe bowed his head.

And none of them returned the salute, which is the characteristic of the Snowpiercers. Why do you want to return the salute if you want to do it? That's a ridiculous question for them.

There were no handover ceremonies, no words, and naturally no mention of the dead bodies encountered at sea. An army of 250,000 men made way for them, and the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom stood on either side and bowed for them. But these Snow Countryers didn't even look at it, and just walked under everyone's noses.

To everyone's surprise, there was no shadow of Sword Immortal Qi Yunming among all the Snow Country soldiers. Many people speculated that Qi Yunming disguised himself as an ordinary soldier and blended into the crowd, and of course, many people said that Qi Yunming did not participate in the operation at all.

None of that matters, though.

After the Snow Nation soldiers left, senior officers led by General Bavin were the first to board the main ship, the Light. For the next half hour, the soldiers regrouped, and the quiet port of No. 1 was bustling again. The Thunder Island Strategic Command Group, composed of high-ranking officers, was established, and Bawen immediately issued the first order in public: the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom and the soldiers of the Tree Kingdom boarded the ship in turn.

The sound was amplified by a psychic harmonic array, which could be heard clearly even by tourists on the distant beach of Hall.

"Dad, the big assembly has begun. Xiao Luo Zibo's face was full of joy and opened his arms like a butterfly.

Da Luo Zibo smiled, "yes, this is the real big assembly-"
