The launch ceremony of the joint military exercise was about to begin, and each participating team entered a nearby circular area under the guidance of a chime.

The circular area is a white sphere with a diameter of three meters, and the surrounding border flashes with pale blue lights, and after stepping into the circular area, this three-meter disc begins to float slowly, as if standing on a flying saucer.

Thousands of white discs rose in a staggered manner, like stairs of different sizes on different levels.

The floating saucer in the center is the lowest, some are only about one meter above the ground, and the outermost flying saucer rises the highest, and some are more than 100 meters, which is determined according to the best field of view.

And this shape also turns the entire large square into a huge basin with a low middle and a high circumference, looking like a dueling arena.

Zhang Ergou stands in a relatively backward position, in the middle of the entire observation deck, about seventy or eighty meters, the field of vision is very wide, plus his eyesight has been improved by the imperial medicine, the entire venue is in full view, and every detail can not escape his eyes.

Almost instantly, he saw the reformed man whose arm had been pinched off by him, and the woman whose underwear had been ripped off by Thorin, who was now carefully clutching the hem of her skirt, but was in a state of confusion by the high winds.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

A few dull bells rang from the towering main building of Aya Academy ahead.

The bell was unusually heavy, and the sound was like an approaching wave, tumbling and then reversing again after colliding with the surrounding buildings.

The back and forth of the sound waves calmed everyone's restless hearts, and at the same time, a heavy iron curtain descended, making the active atmosphere suddenly become inexplicably sad.

Like a giant whale that has lost its young son, it whispers in the deep sea where the moon shines.

Everyone knows that this is unreasonable, this joint military exercise is fundamentally different from the previous ones, and the bell will only ring in times of major disaster.

The last time it sounded was a year ago, when Clay was still defending itself against the Pagas invasion in the outer star fields. On that occasion, the Poseidon fleet suffered heavy losses, leaving hundreds of thousands of people in the pitch-black space.

Last time, the living fossil of the founder of the Aya Army Academy, who lived for more than two hundred years, the death of Provence Shakespeare.

Last time, it was too long, and it was probably the independence of Clay, or the beginning of the Age of Discovery...... Few people remember.

And this time, the bell of this catastrophe rang again, ringing in the ears of this generation of outstanding young people, ringing in the ears of this generation of outstanding young people.

Zhang Ergou didn't understand the situation too well, but the sudden solemnity of the people around him made him unable to speak, and he could feel the heavy heartbeat, gasps, and the suffocating atmosphere around him.

But the answer is about to be revealed.

He saw a gap in the ground in the middle of the great circle, which then caved into a great black hole, and when the platform rose again, a seat appeared on it, and on the seat sat an old man with gray hair.

Zhang Ergou's heart contracted, and that ethereal feeling from the subconscious arose spontaneously, and that feeling was called, familiar.

It was an inexplicable connection with his relatives, a kind of induction between bloodlines, and this induction became more obvious with the increase in Zhang Ergou's strength, and he knew almost instantly that the old man was Zhang Jianlong.

That old man is his grandfather!

The old man stood up, and the white chair quickly transformed into a full-length podium.

"I'm Zhang Jianlong, the dean of Aya College."

The voice was clear, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

Only Zhang Ergou, only him, only he felt that the voice in his ears was a little blurred, the voice of that sentence was so familiar, so gentle, and the same as he imagined.

His mood is very complicated, and it can be said that he has mixed tastes.

His eyes were a little moist, but he held back his tears and didn't let his tears mess with his proportions.

In his life, he never expected to meet other relatives, and he never expected to see him in this way.

His heart was already filled with question marks.

"Our Clay has gone through 6,000 years, and has been baptized by disasters and wars. We forged ahead in the most difficult times, and we stuck to our hearts in the most turbulent times, so we have come all the way to stand out from the Age of Discovery! Earn a place in the War of Independence! We have lost a lot of things, a lot of traditions, a lot of culture, and a lot of loved ones...... But that still doesn't change our yearning for peace! Until today! ”

"Crane people, Clay people are the most bloody, Clay people are the most courageous, and Clay people are the least afraid of death! Remove these, the Clay people actually know the meaning of protection, the meaning of justice, and the meaning of love! ”

"We have what this starry sky lacks the most, that is, human nature, and the human nature above human nature is the nation of Clay!"

"We fight, we never fight for deprivation of others, we never fight for treachery, we never fight for our own selfish desires!"

"As our founders said, I didn't set up this academy to train the people in it to be killing machines, war machines. Instead, let the soldiers who come out of here know the meaning of what they want to fight and the meaning of what they want to fight! For justice, for protection! For the love of the boundless! Or even all of these! ”

"In fact, many of your generation don't understand, why our generation that came out of the war is so careful and cherishes everything in front of them."

"So, I'm thankful for this war! Not because it destroyed my homeland, not because it killed our loved ones! I thank it for allowing the next generation of our Clay to understand what it means to be guarded! Be able to understand the meaning of love, understand the meaning of justice! Understand why we should cherish peace! Compared to land, more than money, more than the regime, only the future is what we should hope in! And you guys! It's Aya's future! ”

"Children, do you know why Aya Academy has been able to survive this war? Do you know why you are standing here and not under the butcher's knife of the enemy? ”

"Tell you, because our Clay army is carrying out what they are guarding for! While I'm speaking here, I'm still fighting the enemy, to protect you! To protect Aya's future! ”

"Some of them are your fathers or mothers."

"Today, our bell rings. This is the death knell. ”

"For whom does the bell toll?"

"For the sake of our Army of Clay! For the 1,500 Winged Tiger soldiers who died heroically a few days ago to protect the northern part of Aya!! ”

"That's why we're fighting, to leave a piece of heaven for your sons and daughters!"

Zhang Ergou stood dumbfounded.

He remembered the old fellow and told him.

"Two dogs, I'm going."

That back, maybe he woke up
