In the past few days, all the great knights of the Holy Radiance Crusader have been a little uneasy, as if something big is about to happen, but they can't figure out where the uneasiness is coming from. The big knights who are usually in the territory are not bad, but those stationed at the border are inevitably suspicious. Now the area under the control of the Holy Radiance Crusaders is calm, all kinds of fighting are rare, and the southern border with the Bloody Council is also in a temporary phase of peace because of the civil war in the Parliament. Tyron, the great knight who presided over the southern war, also tried to attack, but was beaten in disgrace and never dared to act rashly again.

The Dark Dragoons stationed in the north are still neutral and have not participated in the civil war, and their strength is basically undamaged. Although the high-end combat power is insufficient and unable to attack, the defense is more than enough. Moreover, during the period when Persephone was rampant, she pushed back the Holy Radiance Crusader for nearly 100 kilometers and grabbed several very important strategic strongholds, which greatly improved the defensive posture of the northern front. At the same time, three of the four great knights who were originally stationed on the southern front were under her command, and the strength of the Holy Radiance Crusaders was greatly damaged. Taryn was originally a great knight stationed in the rear, but was transferred to fill the vacancy in an emergency.

Unlike the Dark Dragoon's self-growth, all of the Grand Knights of the Radiant Crusader have undergone an 'Enlightenment' ritual to become Grand Knights. The Grand Knights who have succeeded in 'Enlightenment' all possess some ability to anticipate danger. Therefore, although the great knights were not much stronger than the high-ranking officers of the dragoons in terms of ability, they rarely fell in battle. The death of three Grand Knights under Persephone was something that had never happened to the Radiant Crusaders since the Battle of Creation. In front of Persephone, the sense of danger on which the Grand Knights relied on seemed to be completely useless. The cause of this situation is still under investigation, and there is no conclusion until now.

It was only after learning that Persephone was missing that Taryn dared to attack the Dark Dragoon. But the veteran General Kaplan did not give him anything to take advantage of.

Just when everyone in the Grand Knight was worried, an order was suddenly issued from the headquarters to raise the alert level to the highest state of all-out war!

Tyron, who was guarding the south, said that the Supreme Commander in charge of the western defense, the Knight of Stella, was a little unable to understand this order. To the west of the Radiant Crusaders is sparsely populated mountains, primeval forests, and lonely snowfields, which are bitterly cold all year round and have an extremely harsh environment. Bitter cold and scarce food have made the millions of square kilometers of snowfield a no-man's land. It was only for the sake of the mineral deposits and pre-war resources that the Holy Cross had built a few permanent settlements, but maintaining them was costly, and there was a great deal of debate every year about whether it was worth keeping them alive.

Who will attack from this direction? Not to mention that there aren't even many people in this direction, and even if any large organization wants to carry out an unexpected attack from here, the supplies will not be able to keep up.

Unless it is only a small team of several capable people, it is possible to cross the snowfield. But how many people dare to challenge the Holy Radiant Crusaders, who have a population of 500,000 and thousands of troops? That's really looking for death. Due to the actual needs of the Western defense line, Styra's ability is perception in addition to fighting, and his danger intuition is stronger than that of ordinary big knights. He was confident that no one would be able to make waves under his nose.

When another night falls, Styra finishes the last chapters of an old-time novel by the fireplace, sipping a glass of red wine, and falling asleep. The night was quiet, the snow drifting silently outside the window, and his instinct of danger never changed, allowing him to sleep peacefully until dawn.

Unbeknownst to Styra, however, the three men had stepped through the snow, passed by the fortress he was stationed in the darkness of the night, and disappeared in the direction of the resting place.

After the alert level was raised, the Holy Radiance Crusaders had caught a group of internal unstable elements, but they were all petty thieves and petty corrupt people, and they did not find any valuable infiltrators from outside. However, the alert level has not been lifted, and since the alert order comes from the Templar, the highest organization of the headquarters, no one dares to question this order. The number of troops used for vigilance and patrol tasks can only be increased to five times the normal level, as is already required.

Thirty kilometers away from the resting place, there is a small village of peace and tranquility. It is inhabited by hundreds of households, many of whom are family members of soldiers in the nearby Beta-3 Alert Fortress. Other residents also make a living by providing services to the Guard Fortress. There are nearly 100 fighters in the Beta-3 Alert Fortress, two main guns in the large firing range, four anti-aircraft missile launchers, and an advanced radar early warning system, and the firepower is strong. A total of four fortresses of the same size defend the resting place, and under strict defense, even if more than a dozen nuclear missiles come at the same time, they will be shot down during the flight.

In such a snowy day, the small village is very quiet. The villagers are spread out, with more than half of the residents living on their own farms, separated by hundreds of meters or even nearly a kilometer. Only the faint smoke that is emitting from every house shows the warm atmosphere. At this time, everyone is willing to stay with their family, have a cup of tea by the warm fire, or read a few books.

The life of the people of the Holy Radiance Crusader Leader is no different from the old era, it can be described as happiness, and even many residents in Dragon City do not have such good living conditions.

After visiting an ordinary villager's house inside and out, Su came to this conclusion.

It is a three-storey building with five bedrooms and up to seven function rooms. The large living room on the ground floor is furnished warm and cozy, and the owner of the house, an old man with his wife and four children, lives here and makes a living from farming. In the storage room on the first floor there is enough food to eat all winter, and the three large farm machines in the garage also have a certain amount of oil. And there is a lot of dry firewood piled up, which is enough to meet the needs of heating. There is enough forest in this area, and there is no shortage of firewood. If the life of this family is placed in the Bloody Council, it can definitely exceed ninety percent of ordinary people. This is not to say that the accumulation of wealth of the Bloody Council is not comparable to that of the Holy Radiance Crusader, in fact, as far as Su saw along the way, the technical level of the Bloody Council may have been a decade ahead of the Holy Radiance Crusader, and the huge wealth is not comparable to the Holy Radiance Cross. However, more than 90 percent of the Bloody Council's technology, resources, and wealth are concentrated in the hands of giants, wealthy families, and families, and less than 10 are shared by most ordinary people. And most of these 10 are owned by the servants of the Dark Dragoon and the abilities of the subordinates of each faction. In the Radiant Crusaders, the distribution of wealth was much more even, with only the Grand Knight being treated significantly differently, and the difference in wealth between the capable and the common people was not very large. There is faith here, so with the support of faith, the capable and the ordinary are equal in many ways. However, within the scope of the Bloody Council, if it is divided from the perspective of the powerful, then the powerful who only account for less than 10 of the population occupy more than 95% of the wealth or resources. The remaining 5 is the minimum consumption required to sustain the rest of the population.

At this time, Su roughly understood why the old man said to himself that the Holy Radiance Crusader had his own answer.

Is it to give ordinary people a better life, or to tilt more resources to those who play a greater role?

Politics can be reduced to the distribution of resources and interests, but the trade-offs can be infinitely complex.

Sue sat on the couch in front of the fireplace, her hands crossed on her chin, half of her face covered, and her deep left eye stared at the jumping fire, not knowing what to think. Medirli was walking upstairs, like a curious maiden, looking here and there, and obviously very pleased with the clean, warm and welcoming home.

The sound of heavy objects being lifted from upstairs was heard as Sylvanas dragged the unconscious family upstairs and threw them onto the bed in the guest room. This family is basically ordinary people, and only the strong second son has first-order strength. They were sitting around the living room fireplace to warm up, drinking tea, reading books and chatting. However, at this time, Su suddenly appeared like a ghost, clicked on everyone, and stabbed a small wound with a bone spur. A tiny amount of venom invaded their bodies along the wound, leaving them unconscious in a matter of seconds. These toxins do not cause fatal injuries and only allow them to sleep for a few days and wake up with only a slight discomfort. The task of moving them to the upstairs room naturally fell to Sylvanas. The boy was already very conscious, and he took on this task automatically without being reminded. Because Sue planned to stay here for two or three days, the teenager piled the family into one room.

When Sylvanas dragged the last person into the room, Sue finally stood up and walked upstairs, quickly up to the third floor.

Medirli was also on the third floor, and she was standing in the master bedroom, looking at the details in the room. On the cabinet next to the bed, there are some handicrafts of various styles, which seem to have been collected by the owner with a lot of painstaking efforts. It was warm in the room, and the flue transferred the heat from the living room fireplace to it. She was looking at herself intently, and suddenly felt something unusual behind her, and turned around quickly, only to see that it was Su standing at the door.

Seeing Sue close the bedroom door and walk towards him again, Medirri's body suddenly stiffened, and her face became a little pale. Her hand lifted slightly, and then put it down a little helplessly, and for some reason held her breath. And on the tip of her nose, fine beads of sweat oozed out!

Medirri's gaze was pinned to the floor, and her field of vision narrowed to a radius of only one meter. She saw Sue's feet appear in view, and knew that Sue was standing beside her. Immediately after, a warm touch came from her shoulder.

What does it feel like? Could it be...... Sue's hug?

Medirri's body was as hard as steel, and when Sue's arm touched her, her whole body shook suddenly, and an invisible shockwave suddenly spread around her, and the bedroom was like a storm, and all the crafts and furniture burst in an instant! This is the expression of her strength that is instantly raised to the extreme, but forcibly controlled in her body.

"What's wrong?" Sue's voice rang in Medirli's ears, and the air flow disturbed a few strands of her hair.

Medirri remained in her original position, unmoving, like a petrified statue, squeezing only a few extremely stiff words out from between her teeth: "Nothing! ”

"Relax, then." Sue was as gentle as ever.

Medirli had completely turned into a statue, and her posture had not changed at all, and even with the digital camera, she could not be seen to shake in the slightest. But the body, which was as tight as steel, slowly softened.

This damn gentleness......

At the moment when she relaxed, the back of her neck suddenly went numb, and a few traces of sharp energy suddenly rushed into her body, hitting the central nervous system! When Medirli was slightly stunned, her eyes were already dark, and her body fell limply, losing all consciousness. Sue carried Medirri to the bed and pulled the covers over her. Then, Sue sighed silently as she gazed at her stunningly beautiful face that contained the classical sculpture style in her slumber.

The girl has developed a full sixth-order fighting domain ability, and she still has enough evolution points to generate two seventh-order abilities. If she develops a single ability, such as strength, then the evolution points consumed are enough to support the emergence of a ninth-order ability. I don't know for what reason.,The girl doesn't develop the ability in a straight line.,But after evolving all the regular abilities of the first order.,And then move to the next level.。 But in any case, due to the strength of the basic strength of the body, the current Medirli combat power is extremely fierce, and if she fights in close quarters, Su can only rely on the way of protracted combat to find a way to drag her down. For example, although Su himself has been strengthened by seventh-order strength, and the internal structure of his body has been modified beyond recognition, in terms of absolute strength alone, Su is not as good as Medierri, who is only strengthened by sixth-order strength.

Trying to knock out the current Medirri by surprise was an almost impossible task, and only if she willingly gave up resistance. Just as she had just done, open everything to Sue.

Sue is well aware of this, and also knows very well why she is doing this. He's not stupid, and he's very sensitive, but he doesn't usually think about it at all. In fact, before she made the move, Su had decided to take this way to break her resistance, and it was the only way. Before approaching her, Su did have a strong urge to hug her, and he did not restrain or hide it. Medirri could feel the impulse, and that was what Sue was trying to achieve.

As Sue had expected, she gave up resistance, let go of herself, and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the sleeping girl, Su combed the few strands of hair scattered on her face, her fingertips ran over her smooth skin, and with a gentle press on the side of her ear, a very thin bone spur injected half a drop of venom. This will allow her to sleep a little longer, and if she is not disturbed, the girl will wake up a day later.

Sue smiled as usual, but there was some bitterness and indescribable taste in his smile. The girl was asleep, but he planted a spark for her, a spark that might one day burn up the whole world. Since he can burn the world, he can burn her and him. And Su himself is a little confused, at that moment, naturally, how much is the component of acting.

Eight years have passed, and eight years can change a lot of things, and often when you are surprised, things are already wrong.

Sue stood up, and the smile on her face became indifferent and calm again. He raised his hand and pressed it into the void, and Sylvanas, who had just placed the last person, suddenly went limp, fell to the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.

Su walked out of the bedroom, closed the door gently, and walked out. His steps are precise, light, determined, and fearless.

The fire has been planted, and even if it really becomes a prairie fire, it will be after he can come back alive.

Su walked on the snowfield, his blue eyes like a sword, and he had broken through the void of night and landed on a resting place shrouded in heavy mist. He prepares a man to pick off the mysterious resting place. D
