It's the last day of the year again, and in the evening, Epsilon's witch's courtyard is lit up and filled with fragrance.

It is said to be a "small courtyard", but it actually accounts for most of the Epsilon town. All the Silk Witches moved out of the Great Temple of Rose, and their residences were spread out around the original courtyard, and with auxiliary facilities, they gradually developed into their current size.

Strictly speaking, the current town of Epsilon should be called "Witch Town", and all the witches, including Alisa and even a certain conflict witch, have built their residences here.

The other members of the Fee Communists went to important positions and moved to Beta City or elsewhere. Crimson University, on the other hand, developed classrooms on the hillside across the town, and along the way, another town was developed at the bottom of the hill, which was called "College Town".

On this side of the witch town, the silk witches wear rabbit ears, cat ears, antlers or Christmas hats, and some dress up as door gods, and arrange Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the courtyard. Looking at it in a flash, I thought they were having a COS conference.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a dumpling feast, and the dumpling filling is not ordinary things such as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, fish, ducks, chickens and geese, but storm ocean beef and shrimp, sand sea crab sticks, alpine cloud mussels and other delicious foods that can be eaten, including the hunting food of the Wonderful Crispy Slime.

In the corner of the courtyard, following the style of the Crimson Shrine and Epsillon, there was also a circle of lazy sofas, and Li Qi was chatting leisurely with the witches.

Finney took Richie's left, Ellie on the right, and Tina on top, and squeezed a bunch of silk witches. This guy is bored and telling stories.

Aurora sat on the other side of the couch, with Eve and Vicky on the left, and Tesmarth on the right, also surrounded by a bunch of Silk Witches, who were exchanging work and study experiences.

Karin led a group of Silk Witches to work hard at the dinner table next to her, and the Wild Witch clumsily learned to make dumplings with Silk Witch, occasionally throwing the meat filling into the pot on the table and swallowing it as a snack.

Except for the two witches, strictly speaking, the two goddesses, the other witches are here.

Li Qi and the witches were only leisurely for a while, and after eating, they had to go to various places to comfort those who still insisted on working in scientific research, legions, and various fields. You have to wait until late at night to come back here to enjoy the Chinese New Year's Eve that truly belongs only to them.

"Ann, Ah, I'm deliberating with Alisanne, I won't delay things", Li Qi condoled with Xiaohong, who was busy deploying defenses and training Chaos Angels in Epsillon, and asked about the New Year's speech, and the designer responded with a headache.

"In the heat, the goddess of death, that Bichi, I must find her out!"

Xiaohong's communication forwarded through the body made Li Qi subconsciously think of her gritted teeth: "It's so bad that I can't even come down to eat Chinese New Year's Eve food......!

And then it became salivating again: "Suck...... I want to eat it......!

Naturally, there was a big swallowing movement behind it.

Next to Finney, she was telling a story to the Silk Witch: "One day Snow White and the seven dwarfs went out to pick mushrooms, and suddenly met a monster that specializes in eating dwarfs, what should I do?"

"Run!"

"Stealth!"

"Hiding in mushrooms?"

"Fight to the end together!"

Finney grinned, "No, no, the dwarfs hid in Snow White's skirt......"

"What a childish story," Tina muttered, rolling her eyes.

"The monster suspected that Snow White was hiding the dwarf, and Snow White lifted her skirt and said, "Look, there are no dwarfs here." ”

"Ahem......"

Tina choked on her own saliva, and Elle glared at Fini angrily, with a model of an airplane and a dragon figure in the other, continuing to simulate an air combat scene.

The Silk Witches screamed and wondered, where had the dwarfs gone?

"Dwarfs, it's all in Snow White's belly!"

Finney said triumphantly that it was Richie's turn to choke on saliva.

"How do you get in?"

"Ha, I know! Snow White's dress is a space magician!"

"The space magic guide can't hide a living person! there must be a space door in the skirt!"

The silkies were gossiping, and Finney had to add, and the little mouth was pinched by Richie.

"Finney, after today, you will be sixteen years old", Li Qi sighed: "There is no need to talk about yellow jokes all day long to prove that you are not a child." ”

"Yi ...... Maid...... Shan", Finney said vaguely, patting her chest to emphasize that she was still one meter three plus the Pacific Ocean.

Li Qi made a guarantee: "When we have free time, we will solve this problem, shall we?"

It can already be determined that Fini is related to Ms. Yue, and her usual state is always one meter three, which should also be related to this, whether it is to untie Fini's heart knot, or to find her roots, this is something that cannot be ignored.

Finney nodded, and when Li Qi let go, she laughed and said, "Snow White's dress is a time machine, and the seven dwarfs have turned into tadpoles to find their mother!"

This girl is still talking about yellow jokes!

Li Qi was so angry that he pressed her on his lap and pumped her ass, and Aurora next to her sighed leisurely: "It seems that she can't be a good father, so she didn't move." ”

Aurora, you're a little far away from this building!

While laughing, the assistants of Richie, Aurora, and Tice flashed red at the same time.

"The Holy Light Castle has launched a large-scale attack!?"

Karin was stunned for a moment, and then poured all the things on the table into the pot, including wrapped dumplings, as well as unwrapped meat filling and dough.

"Another guy who can't see us eat good food", Karin's eyes flashed dangerously: "I'll go to the front line with a few bites, and I'll clean up this bastard!"

Not only did Li Qi receive the news, but the round hook also sent him even more shocking information.

"An army of three-headed dragons and dragons...... ...... in 10 days"

This was really beyond Richie's expectations, who thought that it was only those three floating ships that faced the enemy in the sky, and that there should be plenty of time, and he still took the initiative, so he was in a hurry to echo Romrose.

"Looks like we're going to have to make some big adjustments", Aurora and Tease are here, and Litchie arranges on the spot: "Tease calls the cardinals for a virtual meeting, Aurora goes to promote the propaganda work, and Elle and Karin and I go to the front to see what is going on, and then come back to preside over the work." ”

"Me!"

"What about me!?"

Finney and Tina jumped up at the same time, looking at the two new legends, Li Qi didn't think much about it: "Tina is going to find the round hook to see if there is anything you need to do in the intelligence work." Finney ...... Go to Beta, and wait for the new Beta-City Air Defense Command to be established, and you will be the main general. ”

Tina didn't say much and said nothing, and Finney said in a tangled voice, "So I have to take over someone's jerk off?"

Next to her, Eve and Vicky also stood up, and the two support witches were a little nervous. Aurora noticed it and comforted her: "Many of the Silk Witches are also working in the rear, don't feel guilty because you haven't been to the front line and fought with the enemy." ”

She cheered again: "And you two have done well enough, I can't imagine that Fei Gong is missing you." ”

Vicky is a little better, after all, she is the chief member of the Demon Working Committee, and she is responsible for a lot of things, and Eve's eyes suddenly turned red: "I, I'm useless, now that I'm so short of magic steel, I have never made progress." ”

"Eve", Li Qi suddenly felt that he didn't care enough about the newborn witch, although it was Aurora who had been taking care of her, but after all, he rescued her, and she had been worshiped by her as the embodiment of Kem.

He gently rubbed the girl's head and said gently: "Even if it is a goddess, it is the efforts of everyone to get to where it is today, don't still have the idea of saving the world alone." ”

Eve snorted and said timidly like a kitten: "I see, Cardinal. ”

"I don't think you understand," Li Qi said, "Are you hiding alone in the depths of the Great Temple these days?" I remember when you were smelting the Essence Gold, it was Vicky who helped you, right?"

Vicky said embarrassedly, "Eve wants to take the route of restoring ordinary metal, and I have helped but it has no effect." ”

"Then get more people to help," said Richie, "including you, Vicky, there is no need to continue hiding in the Grand Temple, you can stand up and gather people who are interested in calculation, fate, magic metal smelting, and alchemy." ”

The eyes of the two witches lit up, and Eve couldn't believe it: "Don't we need to keep our work secret?"

Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course, the necessary technical details have to be kept secret, but the current Beta City is not what it used to be, and the citizens are changing to the people, so ...... We need to believe in and rely on the wisdom of the people. ”

Fate and the newborn witch cheered together, and they could finally show their heads.

Of course, it's not that they were like prisoners before, but their abilities are special, what they do is extremely secretive, work and life are separated, and they always feel separated from everyone.

Now Li Qi feels that the witch alone can't solve the problem, so he simply pulls the masses to solve it together, and the two can fully integrate into this group.

Richie takes Elle and Karin to the front, the other witches go to their respective posts, and Aurora calls another witch.

A certain witch and goddess was very unhappy: "What? The New Year's speech has to be changed?"

Hearing the news from the front again, Xiaohong was furious: "Those guys, just take advantage of my bad situation to play a sneak attack! It's too despicable! Uncle and aunt can't bear it!"

Red agreed to record a new mirage right away, and Aurora breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you are too busy with time, it will be too late for you to review it", Xiaohong said unhappily, when the Central Committee made a resolution, but all Xiaohong's speeches and visions must be reviewed by the Cardinal Bureau before they can be released to the public.

It's not that I want to erect her as a designer and guide, but I'm afraid that her old man will destroy her image.

Aurora said in a tone of generosity: "Okay, I believe in Your Majesty, you will publish it directly when you are done, and I will take the responsibility." ”

Xiaohong said weakly: "What kind of tone are you, and how are you responsible?"

"If Your Majesty's New Year's speech on behalf of us is out of the basket, I will take the blame and resign," Aurora said leisurely: "Peace of mind to be a housewife for Richie, my work in the Cardinal's Bureau, including propaganda, discipline, etc., will trouble the goddess assistant and the witch of contradictions." ”

Xiaohong gritted her teeth: "Aurora, you won't succeed!"

..................

On the front line of the Holy Light Fort, the fireworks exploded, and the military unity circle behind it continued to bloom with ceremonies, as if celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Chestter rabbits, come up quickly! Come up and receive your punishment! Interrupting someone else's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is an unforgivable crime!"

Yuskar hurried into the chariot with the crew, and everyone's lips were still full of oil splashes. They were eating a Chinese New Year's Eve meal with both dumplings and hot pot, and the enemies of the Holy Light Fortress actually attacked at this time!

In the headset, the battalion headquarters and brigade headquarters sent a series of battle briefings, and the tactical maps marked on the assistants sent by the scouts were densely packed with small flags, each of which represented a company-sized enemy force.

Looking at the map that was refreshed in real time, small flags kept jumping out of the Holy Light Fort in the north, stretching left and right, and then pressing down to the south, afraid that there would be four or five hundred, Yuskar gasped fiercely.

It's a full-scale attack!

In addition to being shocked, he was also puzzled, the scout reported that the Holy Light Fort and its surroundings, plus the strength of the rice field puppet-level troops, were only twenty or thirty thousand, how did that marquis gather such a large force?

Isn't it unreliable to use a portal at this time?

The bombardment of the magic cannons, catapults, and even giant monsters in the north became more and more intense, and Yuskal was worried about whether his chariot company and the infantry attached to him would be able to hold this position outside the military unity boundary, and the brigade commander Finn directly gave him the order to withdraw to the main defensive line.

"There are too many enemy troops, we have to shrink our forces", back to the main position, Finn explained to him.

The nine-rate magic cannon at the rear of the position began to bombard, weaving a brilliant fireworks corridor two or three kilometers outside the barrier.

The soldiers on the front line waited with bated breath, and at this time, a video jumped out of everyone's side-by-side assistants,

The red hat and red dress, black hair and snow skin, and the beautiful Lori Xiaohong smiled beautifully, and issued an announcement to the officers and soldiers of the regiment on the front line and the citizens of the towns in the rear.

"Comrades, friends, all the kind and peace-loving people living on the Plateau of the Gods, as we welcome the arrival of the new year, war has also arrived!"

The delicate and tender little voice, serious and full of momentum, combined with the solemn expression on his face, made even the heavy fans who were cheering for Lori Xiaohong's long live quiet and quietly listened to Xiaohong's narration.

"War...... It is sinful, it will destroy the beautiful home we have built with blood and sweat, it will kill our friends and relatives who we know and even love, it will devour life without distinguishing between each other and from each other, it is one of the greatest evils in the world!"

"But...... Comrades, friends, all good and peace-loving people, I...... Love war!"

The officers and soldiers on the front line of the Holy Light Fort, the researchers of the Tiger Jar Fortress, and the citizens of Beta City, the two or three hundred thousand hearts that were condensed were beating at the same time.

Controlling the Red Star No. 1 to fly to the front line, Li Qi, who listened to Xiaohong's New Year's speech with a trace of attention, also squirted.

"I love war! Only war can completely defeat the reactionaries and destroy the old world! Only can the revolution be carried out to the end!"

"I love war! I like to burn the flames of war into the kingdom of sin, and make all reactionaries tremble under the fire of the revolution! I like to plant the battle flag on the corpses of the enemy, and make all the oppressed slaves rejoice, smash the shackles, and join our ranks!"

"I love war! Only war can we compare who has broader support, who has deeper wisdom, who has a stronger will, who is not afraid of sacrifice, who is uncompromising, and who has the courage and determination to carry the war to the end!"

"I love war! War makes us more united, firmer, stronger, and more invincible!"

"I like war! We are the Communists, and we Datongists have never been afraid of the enemy imposing war on us, and we are invincible!"

"Comrades, friends, all good and peace-loving people, I love war, I love war! Come with me to welcome the year 1228 and the war-torn New Year!"

The cheers resounded throughout the Shenyuan Plateau, accompanied by the slogan "I like war", the officers and soldiers on the front line entered the positions, the researchers in the rear went to work, and the citizens ate more happily on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Qi showed no mercy: "Comrade Xiaohong, I want to propose that the Central Committee convene a special meeting to give you a major record." ”

After a while, Lori Xiaohong opened her teeth and claws and shouted: "Why!? You must be jealous of my political work ability! Such an inspiring tearing surprise, I also entered the peak state on a whim!"

"Let's not talk about the emptiness and quality.,I like Lori when I play all of you...... Ahem, the stalk of war, this is a serious mobilization speech!"

Li Qi said hatefully: "The most important thing is that we are only in the defensive stage now, and you put on such a high posture, what should you say when we are going to counterattack strategically......? No, should you be brave enough to chase after the poor? What a great waste of you!"

"This, this...... It seems that you say so", Xiaohong seemed to be patting her cheeks: "Oh, I said you should take a look first, now it's okay, I finally showed off the level of political work, but I used the wrong time." ”

She began to ponder the slogan of her next speech: "When the time comes for the counteroffensive, maybe I can still perform at a higher level......?"

Lori Xiaohong shouted in a tragic tone: "Fer-thunder-lamp!"

Richie coughs, you crow's mouth!

She also felt that something was wrong, and she thought about it again, and changed to a confident and high-spirited tone: "Come home for Christmas for the New Year!"

Li Qi said firmly: "It's decided, it's a big deal!"

"No ——!"

Xiaohong said anxiously: "I still have it! This is very good, you listen!"

She coughed and said in a serious tone: "The first victory is just around the corner, please work hard!"

If it weren't for the fact that he had to hold the joystick, Li Qi really wanted to cover his face: "You are still a gentleman, I like war." ”

The Holy Light Castle, looking at the miscellaneous soldiers who were urgently pulled by the Dao Portal, despite the continuous teleportation accidents, spewing out of the door a mess of mechanical parts or hideous and blurred flesh, Marquis Atlas didn't care at all.

Groups of miscellaneous soldiers poured out of the Holy Light Castle like a tide, spreading out in front and left and right, and the Marquis nodded slightly with satisfaction: "It seems that the first victory is mine." ”
