"The seventeenth to thirtieth valves are all urgently closed! The third power room caught fire, the personnel urgently retreated, and the fire extinguishing squad was extinguished? Don't have this compilation? Forget it, let's find an ice method. Nor no? Is Princess Renee there? ”

"The port side C15-21 compartment is leaking, and the repairman is there? Nor no? Well, freeze all the leaks, and fix them when they are stable. Has Princess Renee already gone to the power room? ”

"Knight Elohim, it's your turn. What, your ice nightmare is a snowman who can only fight hand-to-hand and will not freeze? Papaya head, what's the use of you being so wasteful, tie yourself and the snowman to the hole to block the water! ”

"Where did those damn engineers go? What the? All ran to the bow of the ship to see the crash angle on Xin'an? Isn't that the ship's natural ability? They can't magically see a yarn? What, it's because it's unscientific that you want to see it? These bastards, Your Highness Green, please help me bring them back. No, no, you don't have to do anything, you should say please don't do anything, you stand next to them and they will come back. ”

"Red alert, what's going on? What, the Elohim Knight really tied himself to the Snowman in a hole and was washed away!? I'm just complaining, to use an analogy! Did he really do it? This papaya head! Damn, who's going to ask Trixis to scoop up that stupid knight. It's busy enough, and it's still adding to the chaos! ”

"Your Highness Renee, please go to the bridge, there is someone looking for you. That Lord Diana, I know you're excited, and you want to fight an enemy, but please don't stand in the middle of the hallway in full gear and get in the way, okay? I've gotten more than a dozen reports here complaining about being scratched and hindered by your expensive armor. ”

"That legendary half-dragon beast king hunter on the deck, the battle is over. Your Dafa of taming beasts still hasn't worked. Give me the death to come back. ”

"I almost made it. It takes time to pass on love! Also, can I be blamed for this failure? Is it possible that you beat him up and say you love him? "Well, the voice of a man who can't be evaluated is so striking even in the midst of chaos.

As soon as they arrived on the ship's board, it was a scene of utter chaos, the voices of Kelly and Heloise echoing in the cabin, and a group of strange people either helping or helping, and there was no idle anyway.

No matter how well the Northern Lights was designed before. How powerful it is in theory, after all, this is a new ship that has not been tested in actual combat, and the first time it encountered actual combat is a protracted battle between two super sea monsters, it is too difficult for it.

It seems that I am still too confident in jealousy, and it is not only the sea monster that has been pushed to the limit, but I am afraid that the Northern Lights has also reached the limit.

Actual combat is always the most effective testing platform, the first problem is always the shortcomings and weaknesses, under the impact of the octopus and the narwhal, the undead is not covered by the place can not be self-healing and regenerating, the energy pipeline is not solid enough, and the design is not effective enough. It is also full of holes and various problems.

And the "jealousy" that is the soul of the battleship, in the long life of the undead. It was still a newborn baby, and it was not yet able to play a role on its own, maintaining all of its heavy artillery attacks, controlling the fleet consumed all of its energy, and repeated use of its self-healing talent consumed most of its mana.

These shortcomings are not a big problem, from the prototype to the real combat model, it is necessary to constantly expose the problem and correct the problem, but if it is played directly in the actual combat, it is estimated that there will be no future.

"Little Roland is back? Great, hurry up to the port deck to help, it's still leaking. ”

I was sent on a mission as soon as I arrived, but I smiled.

"Kelly, don't just arrest me as a strong man, there are two old acquaintances here who can be commanded by you, Findak is also an ice knight, and Casimias is stupid, but he still has stupid strength."

"Ahh They're not good, I see. It's been a long time, and I welcome you back on behalf of Arashi no Kuni, but now is not the time to catch up. Little Fendack asked for help freezing the leak, and Sir Casimias asked for help on deck to adjust the sails. ”

"Sister Kelly!? It's great that you didn't have anything to do! Hearing the familiar voice, Findak was a little excited, but then calmed down.

"Okay, we'll do our best."

As for Casimias, the actionist had already set off as soon as his voice fell, but from that energetic look, the phrase "welcome back" still made him very happy.

That day, the signature Ice Age was put out, how could the Eternal Night Emperor's signature black Skeleton King Shenwei be hidden, plus the battle flag of the Crimson Hound for so many years is the battle flag of Lan, and the rumor that the Eternal Night Emperor is the Paladin Roland has been circulating among the high-level of the human race, and in the eyes of those who care, I am afraid that my identity will not be able to hide it for a long time.

I don't doubt that anyone guessed that I was the Emperor of the Eternal Night, especially after the previous identity of the Undead Lich has been revealed, at least Kelly must know the truth, of course, some things are not beautiful when they are broken, if Dong Lan really has a relationship with the Emperor of the Eternal Night, it must be a lot of trouble, and now since they don't plan to break it, then let's do it first.

Maybe it was mutual assistance in the wind and waves, or maybe it was expected, the two undead knights were quickly accepted by everyone, but this "everyone" was somewhat watery.

Needless to say, the gentlemen of the Underground World Realm are used to getting along with the undead, and the knights of the Donglan Kingdom were a little stunned at first when they faced the undead knights who came to help them, and then their attitudes changed after they found out that these two wise undead were actually the heroic knights of their predecessors.

The gap between the living and the dead turned to reverence after Kelly and Renee pulled them to say something, especially after seeing the iconic Ice Nightmare mount.

Every day, the knights can be seen around the two dead knights asking for advice, and Casimias and Findak are also happy to teach their experience and combat skills to the younger knights.

Seeing this, I was a little relieved, after all, it was a gamble to let the dead go to the realm of the living, but since the knights were able to get along well with the undead knights, it was a good start.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the gods are very busy with the start of the holy war. Instead of Donglan, he believed in the god of absolutely just law as the state religion. There is the true God of the Sleepless. I would never have considered this shocking proposal in the first place.

And after the underground residents and the Donglan people were able to accept the two knights, they still said that "everyone accepts the undead knights" is watery, or because of those Orlans.

The Duchy of Donglan is a country of border barbarians in most human kingdoms, they have been outside the mainstream of human society from the beginning, coupled with the past incidents, and the relationship with countries and the Church of the Gods is very poor, because the historical records of Difender have been transformed into a place of death, the Royal Knights incarnate the Knights of Death to take revenge on the enemy. On the contrary, they don't have much hostility towards the undead, plus the two deceased knights are in a sense the historical heroes of the Arashi no Country, and there is also the guarantee of the Arashi royal family, so it is not difficult to live in harmony.

But Orlan is a member of the great human empire, and they have been taught since childhood that the undead are all evil and enemies of the living, coupled with the undead natural disaster for more than a hundred years and the practical pressure brought by the Xiro Empire, the repeated propaganda of the Church of the Gods, let them accept that staying in the same boat with the undead is the difference between being locked in a cage with a tiger.

This is the mainstream concept of human society. As long as the undead are involved, they are evil, and the Emperor of the Undead. It is the evil of evil.

So, the next day, I received more than 30 complaints, and more than a dozen people changed their minds and planned to get off the ship directly.

"Well, why don't we fly along, it's been very pleasant these days, after all, it's normal for the living to be different from the dead."

The two knights, who had re-hid under their cloaks, petitioned to leave, but I shook my head and refused, which was expected, and I had already decided.

"You take off your cloak for me, and live your life as you did in the city of Brimstone. You don't owe anything to this world, and you don't owe anyone anything, on the contrary, this world full of malice owes you a lot. ”

My words made the two knights bow their heads, but they did not say anything to refute or agree, and I knew that they were still hesitating, lest their presence cause my plan to fail.

"Now that we have planned to go down this path, there is no turning back. Since we plan to create a sulphur mountain city on the earth, so that the innocent will not be discriminated against or even convicted because of their race and identity, this is tantamount to breaking with the mainstream thinking of this world, and all kinds of difficulties will not be less, such a hurdle is just an appetizer, and we must overcome it. If those who should go will go sooner or later, why should we care? ”

"The Tao is not the same, in fact, since it is already on different paths, I can't find a way to go together, let him go if he wants to go, what I need from the beginning is just a fellow Taoist." ——

Winter in the north is always very early, and in the common sense of the people of the northland, before the arrival of the long and difficult winter, it is necessary to prepare food for the winter, and even more so to be prepared to guard against the herd.

Winter herds are the most difficult to deal with, hunger will drive them crazy, the result of heavy snow covering the mountains is that they will gather in groups to challenge human cities at any cost, anyway, there is not much difference between starvation and war death, it is better to take a gamble than starve to death and freeze to death.

When the land of Arashi is strong, it will take the initiative to clear the herds of beasts around the town and even in the snow-capped mountains, while hunting some prey as a food reserve in winter, and at the same time reducing their numbers to a certain extent as much as possible to alleviate the pressure that the towns may face in winter.

And when it really comes winter, it is the knights' favorite winter hunting season, and at that time, even if it is not for food, the knights still take the initiative to hunt and scatter the herd.

In the season when there is no war, the winter hunt is the stage to show their best strength, and every year knights go to the mountains to find powerful monsters as prey.

And today's Donglan Principality, but it has long lost this strength, the lack of food and fierce beasts are still the sword above the head, and every winter is extremely difficult.

In this world where the law of the jungle eats the strong, small countries without combat power will only get weaker and weaker, and the war twenty years ago made the Duchy of Donglan lose its last piece of magic gold mining area, and life will be even more difficult.

Solo Luoying, an ordinary town in the Duchy of Donglan located from the capital city of Difende, has already begun to enter early autumn when the Oran Empire in the plains is still in the middle of summer.

In the past, this was the busiest time of the year, and it was a harvest season that brought joy and sorrow together.

It is natural to be able to harvest food, but it is not good to harvest most of the time. But it makes people happy and worried.

Half of the time in the Northland is winter. Plus permafrost. Poor harvest of crops that barely crop once a year is the norm, and this harvest situation is often related to whether you can survive this difficult winter safely, and everyone is not in a good mood at this time of year.

But this year, although the harvest is still poor, the situation is somewhat different.

"Don't worry, it's all there, it's all there!"

Young warriors with royal insignia distributed food with joyful faces, and it was customary for the royal family and local nobles to come to relieve disasters when food was scarce. But the royal family, which was not rich in the first place, could not buy much food, and although the military nobles of the Northland were famous for being able to fight, they were also famous for their poor jingles, and they even had to find a way for their own winter food.

As a result, the annual food distribution will run out in a short time, and every winter will still be difficult.

In the past, when the food was distributed, it was like a war, and everyone tried to take the lead, but this time, it was really neatly lined up.

Cause? The warrior had a dozen wagons behind him and a hill of supplies, since it was enough to distribute. Naturally, there is no need to scramble.

"Princess Renee's visit to Oran was a very successful one, and it raised our national prestige. We have won a lot of food and supplies, don't worry, we have them, we have food, new clothes, and quilts. ”

Completely different from the sad face of the past when he looked at the little food, the jubilant young warriors distributed food and promoted the blessings of the royal family.

"Well, Brother Knight, can you give little Ellie a little more food? Last year, you only gave little Ellie a bag of rice, and then little Ellie was so hungry. ”

The young soldier was stunned for a moment, he still remembered the seven or eight-year-old green-haired girl, who had come with his mother last year, and seeing that the little girl and her mother were very hungry, he gave her a little bit of his rations.

"Little girl, it's okay to give you a little more this year, but you're an adult."

Little Aili is still so young now, how can this little child be allowed to receive food alone?

"When my father was the year before last, he was bitten to death by wolves in order to protect me and my mother. Mom gave all the food to Xiao Aili last winter, but she didn't survive the worst time, and now Xiao Aili is left in Xiao Aili's house. However, her mother taught Little Elle to tailor, and Little Elle can sew clothes to support herself. ”

The poor man's child is in charge of the house, obviously only seven or eight years old, but this hard-working little Ellie speaks like a little adult, but she doesn't know what to do, her craft can't even sew her own rag doll, where to make money, but the little girl doesn't eat much, and the neighbors around her try to take turns to help this poor and strong little girl,

Hearing the calm bad news, the warrior was immediately stunned, as if his chest was choking on something, he couldn't speak for a long time, and he could only sigh after the last moment, after all, such misfortunes have been experienced too much in this land, even if he is full of blood, how much can he help? In the face of endless misfortune, he has long been numb.

This land has been barren for many years, he is just a warrior, and the only thing he can do is to hunt more prey, perhaps, among them, there is little Aili's enemy.

"The food is a bit heavy, Xiao Aili probably can't take it, Xiao Aili will play in the square over there, and when the food is distributed, I will help you move home."

"Well, Brother Xie Xie, that little Ellie went to the Twin Squares to play, see you under the sculpture later."

The pimple-riddled young warrior looked at the figure of the still strong little girl bouncing away, shook his head, put his mind aside, and continued to distribute food.

"It seems that this year I still have to put my rations evenly, by the way, since the autumn harvest is over, there should be voles in the field, and then go dig up some weeds and roots, well, you can also secretly go to the kitchen to steal some feeding, that strong man over there, are you embarrassed to take so much alone? Give it to the others. What the? You got it for the old lady? I'm sorry. ”

So, the reckless young warrior hurriedly apologized for his mistake.

Little Ellie likes the Twin Squares very much, not only because it is where her parents met and fell in love, but also because there is a beautiful twin sculpture where her mother used to tell her a lot of stories under the sculpture.

The decaying stone carvings had faded, but the heroic posture of the two young knights on them was still eye-catching, and the elder brother was standing taller, he held high the gorgeous long sword of the incarnation of Arashi's royal power and charged angrily, nothing could stop him, at this time, the silver armor was stained with the blood of the enemy chief.

Below, on the other hand, was a heroic young warrior with a flaming wand in one hand. Holding a giant sword in one hand. It seemed to be muttering some kind of arcane incantation.

Both looked like blonde teenagers of thirteen or fourteen years old. The faces of the two statues are identical, apparently twins, and even though the statues have decayed, the elder brother has lost an arm, and the younger brother has lost a foot, but the will to die is unyielding.

While the rest of the square is covered with fallen leaves and dust, the surrounding area is cleaned cleanly, which is enough to prove that this sculpture is special.

It has almost become a symbol of the Duchy of Donglan. The twin statues that can be seen in almost every town are, in a sense, the embodiment and patron saint of the will of the people of Arashi who never bow to fate, and recently, in order to boost the morale of the people, Princess Renee has also tried to imitate one of them in appearance.

"That, Brother Grand Knight, this is for you, please continue to protect our town."

What Ellie placed under the statue was half a piece of black bread, which was what little ration she had left. She remembers, in the old days. That's what my mom did.

When she was a child, Ellie's mother told her stories, and the stories of these two knight brothers had the highest repetition rate, although the content of the stories was no longer clear, but little Ellie remembered that those stories were the most embarrassing, and it was the knight brothers who drove away the bad guys and protected everyone.

She remembers what her mother said at the time.

"Thanks to the efforts of the princes, the demons and orcs were driven back to their hometowns, and the greedy neighboring kings and hypocritical churches were punished by them, and everyone lived happily ever after."

"But, but, Ellie is still hungry, is this a happy day?"

She still remembers the bitter smile on her father's face at that time.

"That's the days when Dad was useless and couldn't give you happiness. But you believe that Dad, as long as he encounters danger, Dad will risk his life to protect you, Mom, and everyone like the twin knights who died in their country. ”

She still remembers the happy smile on her mother's face at that time.

"Martin, I believe you are the best knight, and if you are in danger, you will definitely try to fulfill your oath."

She still remembers that when her father really fulfilled his vow, her mother cried so sadly.

"Silly Martin, I don't want any knights, I just want you to come back!! When will this hard life come to an end! ”

She still remembers that before her mother died last year, she still laughed.

"Little Ellie, don't resent this world, and don't resent this country. His Majesty the King died in battle, His Royal Highness Renee wore his certificate at the age of fourteen, and the royal family of Arashi has given everything to fulfill their oath of protection, and what do we have to complain about. ”

"But you remember your father's favorite saying, 'Hope is always at the end of despair, as long as the Arashi flag is still flying, we Arashi people will never give up hope'"

"Little Ellie, mom and dad are useless, they can't give you a decent life, but please face life with a smile, as long as you work hard, one day you will meet hope, maybe the twin stars will come down again to save this country that is about to perish"

She still remembers that she tried to memorize those words back then, but she still doesn't remember them all, and the most memorable one is the twin stars who want to save the country.

"Brother Grand Knight, maybe you won't come to save this country next year. But please bless Ellie to survive this winter, and let Grandpa Markey, Brother Chloe, and Aunt Ani also survive this winter, and by the way, and Lulu, although she always bullies me, but also bless her to be able to play with me next year, please don't blame her, she doesn't have a father or mother, and bless well, and bless that kind knight brother over there"

Little Ellie uttered hundreds of names in one breath, including the little yellow dog that had bitten herself, and while she was still trying to think of other names that needed to be blessed, her prayers, which had never been answered, were answered for the first time.

"Yes, next year, the country will be saved by the Twins."

"Yes, everyone will be blessed, at least, no one will starve to death."

"Yes, after the worst of despair, there is definitely a glimmer of hope! When the Arashi Banner flies again, all the people of Arashi will be saved. ”

When the words fell, the fleeting figure and the familiar face made Xiao Aili exclaim.

"Brother Great Knight!!"

At this time, the young warrior finally finished distributing the food, and walked over with his and Little Ellie's rations on his back, but it was the panicked Little Ellie who greeted him.

"Brother Knight! It's the big knight brother, the big knight brother is alive, he said to bless everyone and save the country! ”

Following Little Aili's finger, it was the elder brother in the statue of the Twin Stars, and the Roland Holy Sword in his hand was pointing into the distance.

The little warrior Kurul was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"Well, His Royal Highness Roland will always protect the country of Lan, and the will of Lan will never give in." (To be continued......)
