Coming out of the safe house in the middle of the abyss, Hecehia did not immediately leave Kimchi's sea of consciousness, but chose to try to land on the islands that were embodied by memory.

The reason why I say to try is because generally these things formed by deep personal memories are the most fatal things for a person, and they will try their best to exclude anyone.

Of course, the more introverted people are, the more intense the rejection, and it may even reach the point of breaking the net.

The strong do not have this problem, because their memory is embodied in a city, who can see from a city or even a world, what is this profound memory?

Hecehijah wanted to know his brother.

The steamer came to an island closest to the safe house. Of course, the island is not the manor of the Duchy of Teuton, but a town of the night. The whole city is like a streetscape in a glass ball.

Hecehijah tried to walk to the island. I entered smoothly without any rejection.

As soon as you enter the interior of the island, the sky immediately darkens. Tiny snowflakes were drifting, and thin layers of water vapor evaporated by preheating were wafting on the steam pipes.

The dim light illuminates the silent streets, and the shadow of the moon and the masts illuminated by the moonlight can be faintly seen in the distance.

It is supposed to be a seaside town, and the harbor is not very large, so you can see the masts of the ships docking in the harbor in the distance.

Although Hecethia did not know where this was, she knew that this should be the starting point where her brother, Eschuur and Reinhardt, began to flee alone.

Of course, there is a huge difference between a child's memory and reality, and in a dark corner, Hecehia found a bunch of strange human figures with slender limbs and no faces.

Of course, in addition to the monsters, there are also exorcists in black robes with their tongues sticking out their tongues chasing the monsters. They were far away from the streets, like ethereal dreams.

Hecehias could see that it was a bedtime story told to them by his father, and that the messenger of hell from the east was black and white. I don't know how the Oriental people grew up to listen to such ghost stories and sleep.

And presumably after the elder brother lost his memory, what methods would Eschuur and Reinhardt do to coax the child? It's nothing more than telling the story that their father once told.

And Aishuyouer will not embellish anything, it is directly to tell the story of black and white impermanence. This is a pity for my brother, who listened to these strange things when he was so young and still had amnesia.

Losing the memories of before the age of five will of course make this neighborhood seem to have many unrealistic places, which are like newborn children's curiosity and fantasy about everything.

For example, the clouds in the sky suddenly flew away on their own, and the black impermanence who was chasing the humanoid monsters would stop to make faces and give candy to Hecehia and the little boy, and make them hurry home with strange bluntness.

The next island is a quiet and laid-back country town, which looks like a small village in the south, but there's no way to guess where it is by the dim shadows.

。

Of course, only the first few islands can be entered, and the later ones cannot be entered. Hessehia walked all the way down and finally calmed down.

"If my brother's memory is problematic, why am I not?" Hecehia asked. It stands to reason that she stayed with her brother for most of the time before the age of five, how could it be that only Kimchi was affected and she didn't?

"Because it was Kimchi who helped you stop it in the first place."

"What did you say?"

"That's the way it is, I can't tell you much more. If you want to know more, you can only wait until that mountain is solved, or Kimchi is solved. ”

“。。。”

"Of course, I can remind you that it was on that day that Ashur was badly injured and then conjured up Veroya's."

"I... I don't remember, how I don't remember what hurt Eschuur so badly? Hecethia said with a frown.

"It's normal, you were originally the target, even if Kimchi stood in front of you, just affected by a little aftermath, it also changed badly. It was at that time that your father awakened his bloodline to save you, and then had to go back to the East. ”

"But why can't I find any trace of that sealed memory in my sea of consciousness?"

"It's simple, how did Veroya get here?"

"This, do you say...

"Don't you understand that Viroya likes to compete with you so much?"

“。。。 Well, then why was it that only my brothers, Eschuur and Reinhardt, fled with them, while my mother and I were held by the Spiritualists? ”

"I'm going to ask your uncle Ludwig, and I don't know. Anyway, the last order that Esshuur, who was seriously injured at that time, was to flee with Kimchi. ”

“。。。”

"You can go, right? I think there might be some changes on the outside? If you don't leave, there may be problems. ”

“！？ Worst! ”

She let go of the little boy, and the consciousness body left the place and returned to her body.

When both of them woke up, they found that the giant turtle had unknowingly burrowed into the sea. It turned out that the little boy was talking about this

Hessehia was so invested in Kimchi's sea of consciousness that he actually forgot to control the turtle.

Resurfacing the turtle, Kimchi took the simple compass and sextant he had with him and began to calculate the current specific position, and then told Hessehia where to control the turtle.

"Brother, what are your plans for the future?"

"Huh? Oh, the future, huh? Let's take it one step at a time. ”

"That's not good, brother, you have to have a goal, an ideal. You're a man who has already started a family, and your sister-in-law is the next king of the kingdom of Rothsier. ”

"Well, if I have to say, I just want the family to be able to live the life they want. Felenville wants to build up her power now, and I'll do what I can.

Kirsten wanted to do research, so I accompanied her to do research.

Veroya wanted to regain control of the thing that flew in outer space, so I helped find out if there were any ancient ruins.

I don't know what she's going to do. ”

"That... What about me? Hessehia asked suddenly. Of course, she didn't know why she was asking, anyway, when she heard how Wei Luoya was, her brother was suddenly stimulated.

"What do you want to do?"

"I... I... ”

"Think about it, you'll find it someday anyway."

"What about you? When did you discover your true purpose? ”

"I don't know. You say, what is more in this world than the pursuit of family? Kimchi replied helplessly. If I could have found out, would I have found it earlier?

"Don't be reasonable! Is it that a person should always have desires? ”

"Desire, what is desire? Bestiality or human nature? Kimchi put on a look of seeing through the red dust and said pretending to be vicissitudes.

“。。。”

Kimchi couldn't say what he was thinking, so he could only use this kind of Wenqing method to cover up the past.

It's not like that in the play, the man suddenly becomes young and either makes the woman obsessed, or makes the woman speechless. Since it's his sister, he must be speechless.

Speechlessness should mean that there are no words, and the topic of no words that makes people a little annoying should be put down.

However, what Kimchi did not expect was that Hecehia directly grabbed himself and buried his head in the sea. In order to prevent her brother from getting the smell of seafish, he also deliberately used alchemy to purify that small sea area into fresh water.

Ever since Hessesia entered Kimchi and my sea of consciousness, something had changed her deeply.

"The big truth? I'll let you tell the truth! Hecehia said with some anger. It's not easy for me to muster up the courage to ask for so long, how can this dead brother be like this!

"Ahem, ahem! Stop! Stop! I really want to kill your brother! ”

"Then you don't have any big truths? Yes? Won't you talk about it? ”

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it!"

Only then did Hecehia pull Kimchi back up. The latter hastened to clear the water from the nasal passages. Fortunately, this is all drinkable fresh water, and there is no need to induce vomiting.

"Sister, why are you so excited?"

"I get mad at you looking like a desireless puritan, you know!?"

"Okay, okay! Your brother and I have big ambitions! I'm going to take out the Nanloya Empire, conquer the Daohuang Dynasty, clear the freeport on the Continental Bridge, and build a super empire like never before, okay! ”

"That's what you said!" Without waiting for Kimchi to react, Hessehia took out the alchemy film he had secretly prepared and engraved the recording of the passage just now.

"Also, you're not old! Don't use that strange dialect of the East, I don't understand it yet! ”

"Hey, hey! You, how can you do this! "How does Kimchi know that Hecehia is really serious, isn't his words funny!

But Hessethia doesn't care so much, even if her brother says that she wants to conquer outer space, or wants to counterattack the source of the living meteorite, she will fully support it.

After all, who is the most confused about the road ahead? That's right, it was Hecehia herself.

And according to Veroya, her lifespan will be extended indefinitely because of the blessing of a living meteorite, and her confusion is even deeper.

Some people say that immortality is a curse, a curse that allows the immortal to experience the pain of watching everything pass.

But in fact, it was the Immortal who knew that he would find a way to save everything in the endless years, but he had no way to control the time.

The country you love so much is being destroyed, and you can re-establish it in a few years, but will you be happy? You will only curse that time is so unforgiving.

Yes, the Immortals are most afraid of time.

After more than half an hour, Hecethia and Kimchi finally returned to the island of kings. After sending the news of the success of the experiment back to the rear via the radio, Kimchi began to plan the defensive line.

Don't look at the age of the soldiers he is, and there are even many recruits who are older than him, but the level of command of operations is still very high. He has received the best military training in the Holy Country, and he has a lot of actual combat experience.

Hessehia didn't have any special job, that is, he constantly provided alchemy matrices and alchemy weapons for the position, and this kind of thing was not a matter for Hessehia.

The alchemy weapons that ordinary soldiers could use were fairly easy to make, she was able to craft dozens of weapons at the same time, and the speed at which she could deliver materials could not keep up with the speed at which she could make them.

When he was bored, although he wanted to find his brother to enhance the relationship between them, Kimchi had something important to do after all.

And Uncle Reinhardt who came here by steamboat is still the same, he doesn't like to talk, but silently summarizes and sorts out some garrison information.

Hecethia tamed the small sea beasts in the coastal waters of the sea by himself, and used them in case of emergency.

But occasionally I think that Veroya was born under the catalysis of her own memories of that day or a few days, and I always feel weird.

Grab her sister's position with herself, what does this Wei Luoya think? Or was he so naïve at the beginning? Why don't you have an impression?

That night, Kimchi flashed his torch and began to patrol the layout of the defensive line. Reinhardt was responsible for the defense of the entire First Island Chain, and he only had to care about the issue of Kings Island.

Some of the naval and shore defense guns in the island chain will force the Imperial forces to use Kings Island as their main landing site, so they will be under the most pressure here, and any negligence in the fortifications may lead to an increase in casualties and even the overall collapse of the defensive line.

This is the first time Kimchi has held such an important position. Although the firefighting team led by him in the past seems to have a more difficult task, no matter how you say it, there are people at the top.

This time, Reinhardt, as the leader, just let himself hold on for three days and three nights after being attacked by the South Loya Empire, and did not say anything more.

For the positions that are not too strong, Kimchi directly and rudely installed some more alchemy defense matrices, anyway, there are no alchemists in the front-line troops, and these matrices that will not be placed according to the law will not affect the combat of ordinary people.

Two days later, the Navy ships patrolling the waters of the Sea of Silence spotted the presence of the Imperial Army, only the Navy had no air force, which made the rear command breathe a sigh of relief.

The first island chain quickly entered a state of combat readiness, and all front-to-war work began to proceed in an orderly manner.

The Navy began to induce the course of the Imperial fleet. The new frigates, on the other hand, carried new weapons, solid rocket suicide attack aircraft, that is, large rockets, and missiles with only simple calibration systems, to kill and injure the Imperial Navy.

The giant sea beasts controlled by Hessesia also began to swim in an oriental direction. Although they were not yet able to control them to attack the Imperial fleet, their massive bodies stirred the sea, changing the navigation of the Imperial fleet, and it was also an assist.

Two days later, news of the Imperial Navy's approach to Kings Island came to Kimchi's hands. Through the unremitting efforts of the navy, air force, and island chain defenders, the Imperial Navy was finally directed to the Isle of Kings.

Of course, the Imperial Navy knew what the enemy was doing, and they were not afraid to charge at the strongest sections of the enemy's defenses, after all, it was not them who went into battle, but mechsoldiers.

The shore defense guns of Kings Island and the naval guns of the Imperial Navy began to fire at each other. One has the advantage of heavy armor, while the other has a terrifying numerical advantage.

The artillery battle lasted for a day and a night, and by the dawn of the next day, all that was left of Kings Island was a scorched earth of large and small raised regular gray geometry, which were artillery forts and machine-gun forts.

The Imperial Navy begins a landing battle, and the wizard's landing craft heads for Kings Island. Sea beasts under the control of Hessesia began to attack the landing craft, and in a moment the Imperial landing force suffered heavy losses.

However, the Imperial Navy soon came up with infrasonic bombs designed to deal with underwater targets. Then the landing battle continued.

Kimchi immediately commanded the defenders to move into the forward position. Faced with an army of cyborg soldiers, the weapons used to kill and injure human enemies are naturally not suitable for the battlefield here.

So Ferlenvirol applied for a batch of weapons to deal with the weird. It's easy, Ferenolle was once the commander-in-chief of the Wall of Despair.

A variety of light and heavy weapons that focus on area killing, thermite bombs, high-temperature flamethrowers, and a few pulse weapons made up by Viroya and Kirsten.

The landing craft kept approaching, and small and medium-sized artillery began to attack.

A few minutes later, the first landing craft that crossed the fire zone washed up on the beach. The defenders had limited barricades, and it was impossible to turn the entire beach into an area where large machinery could not move an inch.

The hatch of the landing craft began to descend rapidly, and the defenders finally began to shoot at the hatch with trembling hands, but a little earlier, and the first dozen rounds were all on the hatch.

The cyborg soldier inside the landing craft already knew that he was locked, so he directly and decisively used the previous cyborg soldier as a meat shield, and began to charge the moment the hatch was lowered.

This group of soldiers has not experienced actual combat, and their psychological quality needs to be improved.

The landing field burst into flames, and bullets and thermite bombs hit the metal armor of the cyborg soldiers, releasing the flames.

There is no fear of death, and the superior movement performance allows them to break through the barricade area in front of the first line of fire in a matter of minutes. The defenders of the fortress opened the alchemy defense matrix and closed the blast doors.

The soldiers in the trenches engage in melee combat with their light knight armor and cyborg soldiers rushing through barricades.

After layers of intelligence confirmed that the enemy did not use any hidden forces, Hecehia began to control the only alchemical heavy cannon on the island to shell the enemy's follow-up troops, making it impossible for the first and second batches of landing troops to effectively connect.

The Air Force and Navy were again dispatched to guard against an indiscriminate naval artillery attack by the Imperial Navy. However, with such a small number of troops, it is delusional to induce the Imperial Navy to barely make do, and to organize the Imperial Navy to carry out artillery bombardment.

Therefore, the Air Force and Navy can only be prevented by a small part of the early warning work.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Imperial Navy, which had stormed four times and had not yet broken the first line of defense on the island of Kings, was finally ready to begin an indiscriminate artillery bombardment.

Alerted, the defenders immediately began to move into several of the bomb-sheltered forts built in the trench system. Of course, it is inevitable that a part of the broken troops will be shelled, which is an inevitable loss.

The South Loya Imperial Navy began to carry out targeted artillery bombardment of the defense line of Kings Island based on the positioning devices on the mechoid soldiers fighting on the front line.

And the island's shore defense artillery quickly emptied what little of their remaining reserves, and now the island of Kings can only be beaten passively.

Those machine-gun fortresses were instantly subjected to several times more intense fire than the previous shelling, and if it weren't for the alchemy defense matrix that was playing the role of stabilizing the structure, they might have been blown up.

On the evening of that day, the short but fierce indiscriminate shelling of the Imperial Navy finally came to an end, but the island's defenses were already in shambles.

And the cyborg army quickly entered the trenches at the same time as the fleet shelling, crossing to various parts of the defensive line. When the shelling is over, the defenders will need to hold off the enemy's continuing landing force while clearing up the mechs that have infiltrated the line.

Dressed in light knight armor, Kimchi joined the guards to throw several of the mechic soldiers he had just destroyed outside the trenches.

Yes, even the headquarters of the defenders has already been attacked by the enemy, and now the communication channels are in chaos because of the attacks of these infiltration troops.

The cyborg soldiers have night vision devices, but the defenders don't have anything that advanced. With searchlights and flares, it is simply impossible to discern how many enemies there are around.

Kimchi planned to personally lead the team, find out the situation of the entire defense line from the inside out, and help the defenders in various areas to clean up by the way.

During the night battle, the enemy carried out three more indiscriminate shelling, and at the most critical time, Kimchi's team had to dig a hole in the earth with knightly armor and weapons, and then let Hessesia prop up the alchemical defense matrix to meet the shelling.

When he finally came out, Kimchi passed out because of a broken hand. The medical soldiers who accompanied the team woke up after emergency treatment and several injections of adrenaline.

With the help of Hessexia, he endured severe pain and put the bone back in place, and then endured a huge itch to restore his arm.

However, for the time being, I can only play the role of material transporter.

After a night, the defense line on the Isle of Kings was finally re-pulled, but the first line of defense naturally had no way to continue to hold on.

The trench passages also needed urgent repairs, the wounded were treated, and the wreckage of the robotic soldiers piled up in the passages also needed to be thrown out of the trenches.

While all the work was going on, the Imperial Navy was still sending landing troops to storm the defensive line.

Kimchi knew that at this time, it was better to stabilize the morale of the army than to say anything about the commander-in-chief coming to the front in person. At will, he braced his badly wounded body and inspected the front line under the protection of Hecehijah.

In order to fill the hole in the defensive line, Kimchi's guard troops were sent to fill the hole.

There were originally a thousand defenders on the island, and now only 600 remain. The battle damage was quite staggering, and it was absolutely impossible to hold out for three days and three nights.

Kimchi had already reported to Reinhardt on the situation and requested reinforcements and supplies from the rear. All he can do now is hold on to the line as best he can.
