Epilogue:

AD2143-02-16 Late Winter

"So we've done so much and still haven't brought the war to an end, have we?" A girl was talking to some people next to a monument by the sea.

This monument was erected to commemorate the people who died during the struggle between the E-Branch and the remnants of the Martyrs, and in the end the E-Branch achieved the so-called victory, and the Martyrs' Association completely disappeared from this world.

For the people of the original E Branch, it was mainly to commemorate their heroes, and the last time such a monument was erected for "Kono", this time it was his descendant "Kojo".

Haight stood next to the monument, and the events of Coco reminded him a lot, and it also made him very sad.

He once joked with Cos, "You'd better die like your father." ”

Unexpectedly, this became a reality. Haight's heart was very uncomfortable, he had been trying to get Kecheng not to repeat his father's mistakes, but he didn't expect the accident to happen faster.

Sheyu Fürth is not more convinced that Coscity is dead, because the best information is that "Coscity MIA", or Missing In Action, is the best information. But in fact, everyone knows that it is just a euphemism, because in the past, the matter of Curnow was also called MIA, and it turned out that there has been no information at all for fifteen years.

She hopes that Kecheng is still alive, although she is not around, but in the end she is alive in a corner of the world.

Not many people came to the monument on this day, and the real commemoration ceremony ended last week, but this time everyone came here because this day was the day of Kono's sacrifice, and it was also the day that the city would come here every year.

Even though the early spring is approaching, there is still light snow at the end of winter.

"My predecessors were right, war and revenge will only lead to more serious conflicts, and countering violence with violence is never the best way to solve problems, but we have to do it." Shinwoo was wearing the military uniform of Fipros, and he was no longer the commissioner of the Hexapis Organization, after all, that organization had also perished like the Martyrs' Association, and the E Section had already existed in name only.

He gave a solemn military salute and turned to leave.

In the past, members of the E Division, including Lin Chuxiao, Ning Hao and others, were also here. They just came to see the man who had been influencing them all along, the city of Science. The person who violated the rules 1034 times, the person who never took care of the person who said good things, the person who always tried to protect everyone, the person who was always lonely......

"Last year, you said to me: 'Sooner or later, I will also be sanctioned, and the bearers of SLM (Seed Life Maneuver) will not end well in the end, because SLM brings people not only strength and special abilities, but also abilities that are far beyond ordinary people in terms of intelligence and reaction and judgment, which are not what I want, after all, strength is not everything to me, and that kind of loneliness like falling into the abyss, so you should have seen what I became after using that ability for a period of time in those three years, It's ridiculous, isn't it? Lin Chuxiao closed his eyes and placed the white bouquet that he had kept next to the monument, "Now I understand." ”

After she finished speaking, she also turned around and left, Ning Hao didn't say anything, just looked at it a few more times, and followed Lin Chuxiao to leave here, as if she wanted to say it in her heart: "If you say this earlier, you won't lose the happiness at your fingertips." ”

In the next half hour, some people left, some said something touching, some remained silent and said nothing, but at least they felt uncomfortable after all.

In the end, only the relatives of Cocheng and Xiyu Fürth were left. They were reluctant to leave, even though the snow was getting bigger and bigger, but they didn't let it go.

"Now, Sister Xiyu, do you really know my brother." Koloying didn't cry, but the tears on his face were still clearly visible, and he walked up to Xiyu and asked, "He has been pretending to hide his unbearability for the year he has lived with us." ”

Xi Yuleng looked at her for a while, and then replied after a while: "I don't know much about his past, I always thought I knew him very well, but when I really liked him, I realized that I didn't know anything." After that, I also tried to understand some things about him, but Kecheng's heart seemed to be locked one after another, like a precept to restrain himself. ”

When Koloying heard such an answer, she didn't answer, but just nodded her head a little while she wasn't paying attention and left.

Kefeifei is Kecheng's sister, she has always thought that she is the person who knows Kecheng best, but when she really thought about it, she realized that she was actually very unfamiliar with Kecheng's affairs, but she already had the answer in her heart, and turned to her mother Su Qinyao without saying a word: "Mom, you can go back as soon as possible, it's very cold." ”

Then he left, leaving Xiyu and Su Qinyao in front of the monument.

"Do you really like Cosbor?" Su Qinyao asked as if she was knowingly asking.

Xiyu knew that she had something to say, so she didn't answer in a hurry, and after a while, she looked at Su Qinyao and said, "Really." ”

"You're still very young, there's no need to grieve for a deceased person for too long, be yourself." Su Qinyao only said this one sentence and left.

Xiyu was stunned again, she didn't seem to understand the sentence "Be yourself." ”

At this time, it is already the time when the sunset is about to disappear, that is, the time when it is about to fall into the night. Xiyu still didn't leave, kept looking at the monument in front of him and thinking about what Su Qinyao said, and even said the sentence "Be yourself" involuntarily.

When she was thinking about it, a voice suddenly remembered behind her: "If you understand what she means, you should go to him now." ”

Xiyu was familiar with the voice, but she wasn't sure if it was an auditory hallucination or reality, afraid that it wasn't the person who turned around, or if there was no one at all.

The girl clenched her fists and decided to turn around, she was no longer so persistent, she turned slowly, it didn't matter whether the vague figure was an illusion or reality in Xiyu's eyes, she just ran over briskly and seemed to be saying something in her mouth.

"It's my turn to save you this time, welcome back."

AD2143-7-22 "War is coming" and the Republic of East Asia declares war on the Pacific United Nations, while the United Pacific Forces launch a surprise attack on the East Asian mainland, causing tens of thousands of civilian casualties.

The *ines Prologis issued a neutral statement, refusing to provide any assistance to any party participating in the war, and on the 24th, CARN stopped supplying high-strength materials to the allies of the United Nations in the Pacific, and ZEEK was also requisitioned by the state to produce military equipment.

Until July 30 of the same year, the participating groups were ROEA and PUN, with more than 30 countries participating, the main participating countries being the East Asian People's Republic, the new India, the new US National Army, and the new Japanese Self-Defense Forces.

After the start of the war, it was widely believed that the PU led by the new United States would have an absolute advantage in numbers, which would lead to a one-sided situation in the war, but this was not the case, and the war continued and broke out.

Although the sudden acquisition of new technology by PUR at the beginning of AD2144 led to a reversal of the tide of the war, from an anxious state to a crushing invasion. On January 19, Phipoulos officially issued a statement that did not provide any help, indicating that there was no theft of technology, but it was condemned by many people.

By June, the coastal areas and islands of the East Asian People's Republic had been subjected to high-impact motorized infantry air strikes and devastating strikes. According to the East Asian Republics, the number of casualties from the beginning of the war to this time was nearly 550,000, but the United Nations in the Pacific also paid a heavy price, losing 190,000 good soldiers, 9,000 motorized infantry and 2,300 warplanes.

AD2144 November The East Asian People's Republic has lost 5 cities and destroyed 7 industrial cities. On November 9, he asked Fipolos for help, but on the 10th he received a reply that he was dismissed.

When PUR was about to march into Beihua City, the capital of East Asia, the army rebelled, and although it was successfully suppressed at the end of the year, the invasion of Beihua City had to be postponed, which also gave the East Asian Republic a chance to breathe.

On January 3, AD2145, PUR's combined army had appeared on the outskirts of Beihua City 30 kilometers, and launched an attack in the early morning of the next day, but was met with very strong resistance, losing 700 motorized infantry in just three days, 3,000 civilian soldiers killed, and more than 8,000 wounded to the point of being unable to fight. Despite the continuous supply of materials and personnel from the rear and the newly mass-produced motorized infantry, on January 23, a group of motorized infantry of the same level or even more than PENG suddenly appeared in the downtown neighborhood of Beihua, causing the technological gap to disappear.

On the 23rd, the PU Combined Army not only did not take a step forward, but was gradually forced to retreat, until the PUR command issued an order to retreat on the 29th, announcing the failure of the operation.

The PU suffered heavy losses in the battle against Beihua City and had to return to the occupied area to repair, while they also realized that ROEA had developed the same motorized infantry as PU, and there were many more weapons they had never seen before.

Due to the war's typical sore of the "scythe of the burning machine", the month-long campaign, despite its short duration, had an alarmingly high death toll on both sides, with more than 70,000 soldiers and civilians killed and 220,000 wounded, and the remaining 600 warplanes and 1,350 motorized infantry of various types. However, the losses of PUN were even more severe, with 42,000 soldiers killed, 26,500 wounded, and 1,083 warplanes and 5,761 motorized infantry destroyed.

BANG ceased any offensive against ROEA for the next three months, and began a three-month long campaign to repair and pacify the morale and victims of the occupied area.

AD 2145 On April 27, the ROEA counterattack was taken from various parts of the PUR occupation area, and motorized infantry similar to the Fipolos 'Kraken' appeared on both sides, and a long-term standoff began.

On May 6th, PUR, forced to reorganize the ROEA and not have a technological advantage of its own, was attacked from many sides, and finally had to evacuate the ROEA mainland and the occupied islands to New Japan.

On May 9, BANG took the initiative to negotiate peace with ROEA and signed the Provisional Armistice, which ended the two-year war and ended with ROEA's reluctant victory.

However, many mysteries that arose during the war have not been solved for a long time, such as the new technology that BANG suddenly obtained and the new type of motorized infantry that suddenly appeared in ROEA during the siege of Beihua City, and the simultaneous development of the 'Kraken' motorized infantry similar to that served in the army of Fiplos.

No one has yet been held accountable for these issues, and for ROEA it is to rebuild the homeland, and for PUR, it is to rest and reassure the people.

There are also many singing and crying stories and countless heroes in this war, but it is more about the psychological trauma of the masses and the pain of losing their homes and relatives, so people hate war.

The North African European Commonwealth, which profited from the war between ROEA and PU, has gradually grown and even surpassed PEN and ROEA, while Fipoulos has developed even more powerful, with countless hidden military weapons.

Due to the war between BANG and ROEA, the University of Fiplos 1 has temporarily banned students from these two groups from entering the university, but students from the two groups who are already in the university can still study normally, but they cannot return to their home countries.

July is the season when the white flowers bloom and are a favorite flower of the people of Fipoulos, because the people of this country firmly believe that the white flowers represent good peace.

The monument on the seaside of the main island of Fipolos has been eroded by the sea and typhoons, and the inscriptions on it are somewhat blurred, and there are very few people who come here, because not many people know the significance of the commemoration.

Looking for the events of the war, the battle between the E Section and the Martyrs' Association can be said to have sparked the war for the past two years.

The sea breeze is frequent during this season, and the smell of sea water beats the people walking on the beach.

The difference between Fipoulos in 2145 and two years ago can be said to be worlds apart, and there are many changes. Once again, this bustling cosmopolitan city is on the world stage, attracting countless tourists, students and researchers.

An underground base in Nanhua City, East Asian People's Republic, which is also a place left after the demise of the E Branch, because no one knows, this place has become a secret communication place for the survivors of the old members of the E Branch, but this base is different, it is different, and very few people know about it.

"I said that you want to hold up before your injuries are completely healed, the war is over." A girl walked into a bedroom and walked over to help the wounded who were trying to get up.

The man soon understood all this, and he remembered that the girl's name was Ye Ti, although he hadn't seen him for two years, but the familiar voice and the way of teasing hadn't changed at all.

"Ye Ti, you said that the war is over, I don't know when it happened." The man who was badly wounded, his body was covered in bandages, and he was obviously very badly injured.

The girl named Ye Ti didn't seem to want to deal with him much, so she walked to the side and took out an electronic board and handed it over: "You've been in a coma for two months, and it's been over since you passed out in the final battle."

"Senior Kecheng, it's been two years, and the redemption you said has been completed, don't you really plan to meet your family and her?" Ye Ti propped up his chin and teased knowingly, "But I'm more curious about how you survived two years ago." ”

Kecheng's eyes were a little downcast, he didn't know how to answer her question, he just opened the electronic board and looked at it a little.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ye Ti also decided to leave. She is now an army officer in the Republic of East Asia, and it is precisely because of her Kecheng that she can pick up a life, because when Kecheng was found, it was originally intended to be carried away directly according to death, and it was not discovered until Ye Ti inspected it, and then carried out an all-out rescue, and he also miraculously survived, perhaps because the SLM carrier has stronger vitality, so Kecheng owes Ye Ti a favor.

The man could no longer recall the faces of his family and his friends in the past, and he couldn't even remember their names clearly, and he had a head injury.

But he didn't know how, he felt like he was always being called to something, a voice that felt both strange and familiar.

"Save me and fulfill your promise."
