Chapter Seventy-One: The Eve of War
The little girl's words made Serena collapse completely, and in the darkness, tears kept falling.
Although what happened to this group of children really had nothing to do with her, Serena couldn't help but feel ashamed when she thought that she once wanted to become a demon who destroyed the happiness of this group of children.
Wiping away her tears in the dark, Serena walked out of the room, but a voice stopped her.
"Serena, can you help put these candies in the candy bag in Renna's cupboard?" The director of this orphanage, a very kind middle-aged woman, said with a smile.
"Okay." Selena nodded a little flustered, lowered her head and didn't dare to look into Aunt Yuko's eyes, took the candy and turned around and walked towards the children's locker.
After finding Renna's cupboard, Serena put the candy that Aunt Yuko gave him into the candy bag that the little girl usually treasured.
"Come and sit down, Serena." Aunt Yuko was behind Serena, at the table where the children usually eat, and patted the seat next to her and motioned for her to come and sit down.
"Serena, it's great that you're here to help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to cope with so many children on my own." Aunt Yuko sighed.
"Where, it's me who caused you trouble, Aunt Yuko." Serena blushed and lowered her head, she couldn't do anything well since she was a child in the academy, not only did she not help with anything today, but she also added a lot of chaos.
"Those don't matter, just wait until you're familiar with them." Aunt Yuko smiled and waved her hand, and then changed her words: "Serena is not from Xinyuan, right?" ”
Aunt Yuko's words made Serena a little overwhelmed, but after hesitating for a while, Serena decided to tell the truth: "That's right, I'm not from the Heart Garden, but from the fusion dimension, I'm sorry." ”
"I see, no wonder that child Aaron has been watching you cautiously all day today." Aunt Yuko showed a clear expression, and after saying that, Aunt Yuko stopped talking, but just looked at Serena with loving eyes.
"You...... Don't you hate me? Serena was a little uncomfortable with this staring at her, and couldn't help but ask.
Aunt Yuko couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Why should I hate you? You didn't do anything, did you? ”
"But I'm in the same league as the guys who hurt the kids......" Serena's voice grew lower and her eyes moistened again.
"Serena, there is no way to choose the birth of a person, although you are from there, but you are not from the same way as them, and your eyes will not deceive people." Aunt Yuko wiped Serena's tears, took her into her arms, and gently patted him on the back.
Aunt Yuko's movements stunned Serena, who had never experienced the feeling of being embraced in her arms after being brutally trained in the academy since she was a child.
"Serena, Auntie may not know much about duelists, but Auntie is still a little confident in looking at people, Auntie feels that Serena is different from those demon-like fusion dimensional duelists, so you don't need to torture yourself with other people's mistakes, understand?"
Serena raised her head blankly, looking at Aunt Yuko's kind smile, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay, you can go and rest early, and I'll ask Serena-chan to take care of the children with me in the future." After Aunt Yuko wiped away Serena's tears, she touched Serena's head and said with a smile.
……
In the darkness outside the restaurant, You Hao patted Yalian's shoulder.
"Let's go, let's let her stay here in the future." You Hao whispered.
"That's ...... Can it really be? Arrene hesitated.
"Can't you believe it, can't I still trust Aunt Yuko?" After You Hao finished speaking, he pulled Yalian and left gently.
……
A few days have passed, and nothing major has happened in the camp, except that the news brought back by Kaito and Yao, who go out to scout from time to time, is not very good.
"Are there more and more strongholds on the periphery?" In front of the map, You Hao said after marking the strongholds on the map with a solemn face.
"That's right, in the past two days, Kaidou and I originally wanted to pull out one or two, but the other party's support was also much faster, so we had to give up." Sugihara said.
"Forget it, stop your actions for the time being, and prepare for the final battle with peace of mind, it looks like it's been these two days." You Hao said.
"The question now is, how can the four of us defend the five intersections and find a way to get Hayabusa back?" Kaito asked.
"Hayabusa, I'm afraid he's already in the same dimension now, and it's too late to find it now." You Hao said.
"Otherwise, I'll take the last intersection, although I may not be able to win, but I will find a way to hold it off and wait for you to come to support." Garros said with a resolute expression.
"Brother Garros, why don't you let us do it." Xinchengsheng said on the side, our army still needs you to deploy.
"Don't make trouble, this last intersection is destined to be attacked by the other party as a breakthrough, it doesn't matter if I die, you are still young, don't gamble the future on this kind of battlefield where death is inevitable." Garros said categorically.
"But......" Xinchengsheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by You Hao waving his hand.
"Don't fight, I'll figure out a way at the fifth intersection."
"We still have 4,963 people in our current combat strength, just count as 5,000 people, according to the guard, 500 people at each intersection are enough, 1,000 people at each intersection in two shifts, and the rest of the people are used as reinforcements and defense against invaders who come in from other small roads except for the five major intersections." You Hao gave orders in an orderly manner
"Kuaidou you go to the intersection due north, Yao you go to the northeast, you go to the intersection due south, and the intersection between the east and southeast is handed over to me." You Hao thought for a while and then arranged.
"You're going to guard two intersections alone?" Kaito frowned.
"I'm not arrogant enough yet, but someone will help us hold the last intersection." You Hao said.
At that moment, Reynold, panting, ran into the conference room.
"Chief, the other party's war letter has been delivered." Reynolds ran out of breath, and after handing the battle book to the nearest Kuaito, he immediately held his knees and gasped.
"War book?" Sugihara Yao said disdainfully, "Have these guys learned this set?" ”
"No, it's not so much a war letter for us, but a letter from Ed to You Hao." After reading the contents of the battle book, Kuaito handed it to You Hao.
You Hao took it and looked at it, the content of this so-called battle book is very simple: Tomorrow at sunrise, I will personally lead the team to attack the intersection of due east, hoping to see you there and make a decision for the victory or defeat last time.
