“…… According to what we have received from the ACA, there has been a change in the management of the ACA, and although the ACA insists that this is not a coup d'état, but an 'orderly transfer of power', we still have evidence that this is a premeditated seizure of power by the ACA military, and the current reaction to the coup in Africa and South America has been mixed, but both have expressed support for the former Minister of Agriculture and Labour. Kirk inaugurated as the new president of the society......"

- "Alliance Weekend"

****

"The above is my report on this incident, as well as a summary of my personal opinions, and in general, I agree with Captain Ling Yu's judgment. Pierre was a dangerous being, far more dangerous than the former U.S. congressman who sparked the Second American Civil War, the Dallas Energy Association magnate Adam. Durant, personally, believes that this is a dangerous person who has no possibility of communication and aims to destroy all mankind. ”

Jeunse. Mino breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave a knightly salute to everyone.

However, it was clear that the girl and the young man were talking about the same topic in a row, which made the people in the conference room feel obviously bored - in fact, it was better to say that this kind of political negotiation itself was extremely boring, and everyone had hoped that the two war veterans would adjust the atmosphere, but they were obviously disappointed.

"Any questions?"

This time it was naturally Speaker Isaac who spoke, but unlike Ling Yu, this time, as arranged in advance, Sauron, who was sitting next to him and had changed into a knight's uniform, opened his mouth to ask questions directly.

"Jeunse. Meno High Rank Knight, based on the report you submitted last night, you think that Ling Yu, the leader of the 'Prism' team, is not suitable to appear as a 'propaganda symbol' at this time, can you give a more reasonable explanation for this? ”

"That's right, sir."

Jesse's eyes narrowed. There was a pause, as if organizing the language.

"I think that at this moment, considering the potential identity of Ling Yu as a mere propaganda to save Zài, it is unreasonable, and. As a hero of the alliance, it is also difficult for this propaganda video to get a good response on the territory of the cavalry. ”

"Really?" Harold interjected, the old man raised his eyebrows, and seemed to smile, "As far as I know, it seems that there are already many people who want to make a movie for Ling Yu?" ”

"With all due respect, Your Excellency the President, the Alliance doesn't want to have only one hero, Ling Yu, right?"

Jeunse's statement was a little impolite. However, everyone also understands the temper of this chief knight princess, and no one will give face to what they have identified.

"On the other hand, considering Ling Yu's combat effectiveness, we shouldn't put him on such a catwalk too early, lest he become the target of the other party."

Jeunese didn't ask to speak, but chose to speak forcefully and directly, "It's like the Alliance won't shoot Mo Coco and Daniel. Jones's biographical films. ”

"So. According to your opinion, Jeunse. Meno High Rank Knight. ”

The silence lasted for a few seconds. Sauron suddenly spoke, "Does the cavalry need a large-scale conscription?" ”

"It's necessary."

Jess was silent for a few seconds before she spoke slowly, but when she spoke, the girl's tone and gaze were extremely firm.

"It's not just the Allies who need to unleash the full war potential, but the Cavalry as well."

Jeunsy uttered the sentence almost word for word. Then the girl closed her eyes heavily.

"Therefore, I believe that the cavalry must be called up on a large scale under the Emergency Act to cooperate with the actions of the League."

"My opinion is that the image of the cavalry is a draft. It's better to use the heroes of the cavalry. ”

It was Antonio who suddenly interjected. Servette, Marvin's chief assistant officer, "For example, the chief knight lady in front of her, who has made great achievements, can be a good candidate. ”

Jeunese frowned, she looked at Servet, who had a formulaic smile on her face and looked at Jeunse as if her prank had succeeded.

"Do you think you're up to the task? Jeunse. Meno High Rank Knight. ”

After a moment of silence, Isaac spoke.

"Yes." Jesse also responded with silence for a few seconds, "I'm up to the task." ”

***

Just when Jiesi and Ling Yu gave different answers at the review meeting, Norway was already late at night.

There is no airport in Yorkmok, but the police station has a helipad, which the cavalry has requested to be built, so that each town can be connected in case of an emergency.

Although Linya didn't like Kronos's private mercenary organization very much, she was not so unreasonable as to dislike all Kronos employees, and in fact, according to the original plan, Kronos only sent her to Stockholm and then sent a car to send her back to Yorkmork, but after recognizing Linya as a member of the famous "Prism" team, the captain did not hesitate to send her a helicopter.

This is probably the advantage of a private company, where efficiency comes first, and there are not so many messy formalities and approvals.

At midnight, Linya's helicopter slowly landed on the tarmac in the familiar town again, and the townspeople still maintained good bedtime habits due to the energy crisis, so no one came to watch the rare foreign helicopter land.

Except for one person, the local sheriff, Simon. Linnell, also known as Linya's classmate.

"Thank you!"

Linnell walked over to the slowly stopping helicopter, stepped on the skid and pulled open the cabin door, carefully helping Linya down, and then politely shouted thank you to the pilot, though he didn't know if he could hear the roar of the huge rotors.

However, as if sensing the young sheriff's gratitude from the shape of his mouth, the pilot smiled sheepishly, then gave a thumbs up and watched as Linya and Simon took a few steps back, started the plane, and flew south.

"Simon, I ......"

"I know it all."

Simon, who watched the helicopter disappear, shook his head slightly, took Linya's suitcase containing the Wild Rose, and asked, "How are your injuries?" ”

"I'm fine......" Linya lowered her eyelids slightly, sighing. I'm sorry for you. ”

"Yes, we survived by helping each other." Simon showed a kind smile that was a little reluctant, but it didn't last long, "Let's go, I'll take you to see Auntie." ”

"However, in fact, it is not about bringing or not to bring." Just finished speaking. Simon smiled helplessly, "Actually, it's just your home." ”

"Auntie has been hiding her illness until she fainted a few days ago, and the doctor in the town suspected that it might be cancer, and I sent a few emails to the cavalry, but you were in the middle of the battle, and there was a solar storm, so I guess I can't receive it."

Linya didn't speak. Just slowly follow Simon down the familiar and unfamiliar streets, just like many years ago, when the two of them were not in a closed military school, every day after school.

"Then the cavalry came to pick up my aunt to Iceland, and I told them about it, and that afternoon they sent a team of specialists from Stockholm. It was only at that time that it was diagnosed, and it was indeed an advanced liver cancer. has spread. ”

"We had asked my aunt to go to Stockholm to check it out, but she wouldn't leave, and then too, several probationary knights took turns to persuade them to no avail...... Auntie just wants to stay in her own home...... There's not much we can do. ”

"Thank you, Simon."

Finally, Linya spoke. She nodded, "I can understand my mother's thoughts...... At this point, there is no need to toss like this. ”

"I'm sorry ......"

Simon's body shuddered a little, and the sheriff's coat looked a little empty on his skinny body.

"We should have noticed my aunt's physical problems a long time ago...... After all, you're away from home all year round......"

"No need to apologize......" Linya shook her head slightly, not knowing why. She suddenly remembered her best friend, who was less than 25 years old, and then smiled reluctantly.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, at least ...... We didn't starve to death at that time, and my mother often said that it was our luck to survive all these years, and without the cavalry, we would have died a long time ago. ”

Simon didn't say much, his head with the big cap shook slightly, and seemed to nod.

The town is small, and even though Linya's home is on the other side of town, it's not long to get there.

"Uncle Badr."

Linya pushed the door open, and the room was one of the few in town with the lights on.

"Linya, I heard you're injured, how is your health?"

"It's okay, it's fine." Linya smiled politely, and Simon, who was following him, turned to close the door.

"Alas...... This thing...... I'm so sorry that you worked so the front line, but I didn't even notice that your mother was sick......" Uncle Badr sighed, he had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

"It's okay." Linya shook her head slightly, "I'm not at home, and thank you for taking care of your mother all the time." ”

"I ...... Alas...... "Uncle Badr obviously wanted to say something, but when he saw Simon behind Linya shaking his head slightly, he didn't continue, but changed the subject.

"Go up and see your mother, she hasn't slept to wait for you," Badr stepped back and stepped back to get out of the way, then patted Linya on the shoulder, "We're proud of you, really." ”

Linya smiled, nodded, and walked up, but more or less, there was an indescribable heaviness in her smile.

Linya walked up the old steps to the second floor, the house she called a writer that had been renovated once, and the only thing that remained unchanged at the time was the wooden staircase that was more than 100 years old.

The short-haired girl walked up the stairs in a bit of a distraction, and pushed open the door to the room.

"Mom's ......"

Linya looked at her mother, who was lying on the bed, already thin and almost inhuman, and tears instantly burst out of her eyes.

Linya ...... Actually, I told them, if you're busy, you don't have to come back......"

Linya's mother opened her eyes with some difficulty, and a smile appeared on her thin face, "But...... I want to see you again...... After all...... It's a dying man. ”

"Nope! Mom! ”

Linya wiped away a handful of tears with her backhand, and then rushed directly to the side of the bed and threw herself into her mother's arms, "Mom, you won't die!" I'm in the cavalry...... There are a lot of scientists ......"

"Where is there immortality...... Silly child......" The terminally ill middle-aged woman gently reached out and stroked Linya's flaxen hair, "I've also made your dad wait for years...... This head of hair ...... It's really like your dad. ”

"Mom...... I ......"

Linya looked up and took her mother's hand, but she didn't know what to say.

"I can see you...... My last wish has been granted...... I can also go and tell your dad...... Our daughter became a knight, a battle hero, and protected many, many people...... Our days are peaceful and abundant...... Your dad will be happy. ”

"Uh-huh...... Linya struggled to a nasal voice, but she knew that war was about to break out.

"Our daughter...... It's grown up...... It's a pity that I didn't see the day you got married...... Anyway, young people decide for themselves, it's not a pity, it's okay. ”

Linya's mother reached out and gently wiped the tears from her daughter's face, as if it would take a lot of effort to speak, she was silent for a moment, and then took a deep breath.

Linya ...... We need to protect our homeland. ”

"It's your duty, and it's your ...... All of us wish it......"

"I will, Mother!"

Linya lowered her head, trying to keep her tears from flowing, then nodded heavily.

In the dim light, the girl unconsciously clenched her mother's sheet. (To be continued......)
