Streets that were once familiar are now filled with strangers. Zero walked on the narrow paths of the slums of the day, which now seem even narrower. Everywhere you can see a simple tent on the side of the road, blocking the already small road even more congested. In the past, a small building with one family lived in it is now only afraid that it will be crammed into two or more households.

The population base of the city of Rome has reached a state of saturation, and it is not because the Papal Chamber has opened all the supplies to meet the needs of the common people in the city, and the daily food consumption of the city alone is an astronomical amount.

But it was worth it, at least, Paul saved most of the civilians.

Civilians are the foundation of a state, and without them, the state would not exist. Now the papal hall is a righteous expression, so that Paul, the young pope, has won enough respect among the common people. Along the way, I heard people add words like greatness and mercy when discussing Pope Paul.

Finally, Zero stopped in front of a small building. On each side of the door of the building, a soldier was guarded. Seeing two guards in the slum is indeed an awkward picture, and the appearance of the guards also distinguishes the small building from the world outside the building. At first, there were still objections, no matter who lived in the small building, they should not be treated differently, but once the name of the owner of the small building was known, no one raised any objections.

Because of the people living in it, her dedication to the entire continent is enough to win her this honor.

Her name is Cinderella, and the name itself represents a legend.

When Zero One appeared, the two guards were very excited, and even wanted to enter the building to spread the word. Zero shook his head, stopped the soldier's movements, and pushed the gate open himself. The door is still familiar, and it was once his residence for a short time in Rome. Originally, the small building would not leave too many memories, but with Cinderella, even the most humble house will leave many good memories.

Walking into the simple living room, a set of wooden furniture that has been old is placed on a white-washed carpet on the floor. On the gray-and-white painted walls, a wall lamp with a slightly cracked shade was lit, and its dim yellow light was cast on an oil painting of unknown origin next to it. The oil painting uses simple color blocks to create images of the sea, the blue sky, the islands and the sailing ship. It's not an artistic conception, it's just a cheap decoration, but it creates a simple and warm atmosphere.

On the windowsill, a pinch of daisies placed in glass bottles swayed gently, so that a bright yellow lit up the room.

At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice sounded upstairs: "Is it His Highness Paul? Come on, Haven has just fallen asleep." ”

Zero shuddered slightly, and it was Cinderella's voice. After many years, now hearing this familiar voice again, the excitement in Zero's heart cannot be expressed in words. He slowed his steps, walked up the whirling wooden staircase, passed the hallway, and pushed open the door of the former bedroom, and a familiar back came into his eyes.

Cinderella was standing in front of the window with her back to the door, humming a melodious tune and watering the bonsai in front of the window. Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned around with a smile, but when she saw Zero, her whole body stiffened, and even the smile froze at the moment before.

"I'm coming. Zero said softly.

The kettle fell to the ground, and Cinderella threw herself on Zero. The hot lips immediately sealed Zero's mouth, and the hot body seemed to be squeezed into Zero's body, and the two were tightly pressed together, unable to accommodate half of the gap.

After a heated kiss, Cinderella gasped and parted with Zero. Zero held her face, stared into her eyes, and didn't speak for a long time. At this moment, words seemed so pale and weak, and the eyes that met each other were worth a thousand words.

"I shouldn't have left you behind. After a long time, Zero said softly: "In that case, I don't have to think about how hard you think." ”

Cinderella pressed her face to his chest and smiled, "It's the most touching love story I've ever heard." ”

He burst out laughing again, took Zero's hand and said, "Come, you have to meet him." ”

Led Zero to the bed, on the bed, a chubby little boy slept soundly. Zero nodded and said, "Haven, is he? He's our ......."

"That's right, our darling. ”

Zero reached out and gently pressed it on the boy's cheek. The boy muttered some muffled syllables, then rolled over and went back to sleep. Zero leaned down and kissed the child lightly on the forehead. The boy seemed to feel something, still asleep, but "giggled" and laughed.

"He likes you. Cinderella said.

Zero proudly said, "Of course, he is my child." ”

Then he took Cinderella's hand and said, "You're having a hard time, aren't you?"

"Nope. Cinderella gently shook Zero's hand back: "I live in a fishing village, that's my hometown. I spent a year of happy time there, and the arrival of Haven made my life even more bright. When I saw him, I was convinced that he was the best gift from God. You see, how much he looks like you. ”

Cinderella gently stretched out her finger and gently touched the little one's chubby face.

Zero pulled her and said, "Let's go over there and talk, don't disturb the little one's sleep." ”

The two sat by the window, and Zero said a lot to Cinderella. He mentions many things after leaving the Western Continent, including taking the Dark Core himself, and finally repelling Prosious' army that wants to clean up the Middle-earth continent. Zero spoke, Cinderella listened, and the time passed quietly in the quiet afternoon. It wasn't until Haven woke up and yelled that Cinderella quickly got up and picked up the little one.

Looking at the time, Cinderella said, "Come, hold him." I'm going to cook, and you're going to have to change his pants. That, will you?"

Zero One took the child and said with a determination and tone that he was about to face a big battle: "I will do my best." ”

Cinderella chuckled, patted him on the shoulder and left. Zero lowered his head, and the little one looked at him curiously. It seems to be a blood relationship, Haiwen is not afraid of life, and he reaches out to touch Zero's face, giggling from time to time. Zero patted his little ass and said, "All right, baby." Let's cooperate for a good time, isn't it just a change of pants, will it be more difficult to deal with than Prosius?"

It turns out that changing the pants of the little one is not directly related to the strength of the ability. The whole process was almost a messy piece, and when Cinderella pushed the door in, Zero Gang helped Haven change his pants. It's just that his sweaty appearance is no less than a life-and-death battle. Cinderella leaned against the door, chuckling at the sight of such a small eat, and her heart was filled with warmth.

Dinner was basic, bread, grilled sausages and a salad. Although ordinary, at this time, such a dinner can be called sumptuous. You must know that the rations of the civilians outside are only given a slice of bread per person, but Zero has never been picky about food, and he enjoys the happy time of such a family of three sitting around the table.

Haven was still young, and let Cinderella hold it in her hands. The little one, like his other two younger siblings who had not yet been born, was already showing his great talent at a young age. From time to time, the water in the cup in front of Cinderella would bounce a few droplets, and the droplets would slowly spin in the air, occasionally gathering together and falling back into the cup, and the little one would laugh happily with a few splashes.

"It seems that he inherited your abilities. Zero said.

Cinderella kissed the little one on the cheek and said, "Of course, he is the son of the sea. ”

"Beth and Leah's baby is about to be born. Speaking of this, Zero smiled bitterly and said: "I am really a father who does not fulfill my responsibilities, and I can't be with you when you give birth." ”

"But what you did was for the sake of the children, and the future of many other people, isn't it?" Cinderley stretched out his hand and grabbed Zero, "So we and the children will be proud of you." ”

This night, of course, Zero stayed in the small building for the night. The next day, it was time to separate. Cinderella carried Zero to the door and said, "Promise me, Zero." Definitely coming back. ”

Zero hugged her and the child to his chest: "I'll be back, but when the time comes, I'm going to take you away." I can't be separated from you anymore!"

"Okay. Cinderella raised an eyebrow and said, "This is the reward you deserve." ”

Zero snorted, pinched her buttocks angrily, and kissed Haven again and said, "Take care of yourself and the child, I...... Let's go. ”

In these two words, there is too much reluctance and sorrow. Zero smiled and turned around resolutely. He opened the door, put the cozy attic behind him, and stepped into the stormy world outside!

On this day, Zero travels to Facero aboard the Star Destroyer. Facero's inner harbor is like a cloud, stretching into a patch. There were also many medium and large warships parked in the sea not far from the port, which literally blocked the entire port of Facero. The Papal Hall had already mobilized all the warships that could be used to Facero, and when Zero arrived, he happened to bump into an old acquaintance.

Aland.

One of the triumvirate of the rebels in the past, Oran is now Paul's right-hand and right-hand helper. The Knights' expedition was in place, and Orlan was solely responsible for the deployment of supplies and the mobilization of ships. When Zero saw her, Oran's ass was followed by a string of secretaries, and she issued the orders at a very fast pace, and then divided them into different secretaries and arranged for the people below to solve them.

A qiē proceeded in an orderly manner.

After Orlan had sent the others away, Zero said, "Looks like you're doing a good job, Miss Oran." ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zero. Oh no, now I have to call you Grand Duke. Orlan laughed.

"Call me Zero, Grand Duke or something, it sounds awkward. Zero shook his head and asked, "How's the preparation going?"

"The progress is okay. Now the Chief of the Black Wing is marching the Knights' army towards Facero, and it is expected that it will be five days before they all arrive. More than eighty percent of the warships that can be mobilized now are already in place. But the number is not enough, so we will requisition civilian ships and will start to retrofit them, and when it is needed, it will be a day or two longer than originally planned. But don't worry, you can do it when the Order's troops arrive. ”

"Thank you. Zero nodded.

"It's a trifle, and I'm no match for you. The future of this planet is up to you. Oran said seriously.

"We'll do our best. Oh, by the way, you'll have to get another ship for me. Zero said, "In a few days, His Highness Paul will personally escort something over." That thing needs a separate warship. ”

Oran nodded: "His Highness Paul mentioned to me that, in fact, the ship was ready early in the morning. ”

What needed to be transported by an independent warship was naturally the prison of the gods left behind by Gaia that day, and it was also the giant that he had built based on himself. The giant had an aura almost identical to that of Gaia, and judging by the aura alone, it was almost the most perfect body. There is no self-will, but it has infinite possibilities for evolution, and it only needs a main will to be stationed, and the body will immediately become a living god.

Of course, these are just appearances. Gaia left behind some back doors, enough for the will of the Lord who entered the giant to never get out again. With a body, he was able to destroy Miè, the prison he had prepared for Agradis that day. After Gaia's death, the giant fell into Zero's hands and entrusted Paul with temporary custody. Zero wasn't sure if he would be able to capture Prosius with this body, but right now, he didn't want to miss any of the means he could use.

If the opponent is Prosius, it is impossible to overstate the preparation.

The next few days were a busy scene in Facelo. The supplies and mechs that arrived first began to load, and on the harbor, the crane boom worked non-stop. On the outskirts of the city, the Knights' troops who arrived one after another set up tents, and the arrival of the army made Fareero's logistics quite tight. The logistics work, which was already tight on manpower, is now even more urgent, and Oran can only urgently dispatch a group of logistics personnel to temporarily relieve the urgent need.

Four days later, the prison of the gods arrived. Arriving in Facero with the giants was Pope Paul. When Paul arrived, he did not rest, but first went around the barracks to cheer up the soldiers. This was followed by a speech during the day and at night, all aimed at boosting the morale of the troops. Looking at Paul's endless appearance, we know that it is not easy for him to be the pope.

By the sixth day, the Papal Chamber was finally ready for the expedition. In the early morning of that day, there was a sudden wave on the horizon, and a sea beast with a body length of nearly ten meters rolled from the other side of the ocean. Although he knew early on that it was a seahorse that Zero had borrowed from Belafar, the lord of the North Seas, to use as a tool to haul warships across the ocean to the Eastern Continent. But seeing so many sea beasts rushing in like a tide, this picture is still shocking.

Eventually, the seahorses were attached to the seahorses with the cables they had prepared the morning, and the beasts began to drag the ship out of port.

Paul and Zero shook hands, and the young pope smiled bitterly: "I really want to go to the Eastern Continent with you, but it's a pity that I'm an ordinary person, and it won't make any difference if I go." So, my army is handed over to you, Zero. ”

Paul shook hands with the other captains of the Order, and gave Blackwing a hug, whispering, "Try to come back alive, friend." ”

Black Wing nodded, waved his big hand, and boarded the building ship with the other regiment commanders one after another. Zero unfolds an anti-gravity field and rises upwards. As he ascended a certain distance, two large shadows passed over Farcelo: Bia the Star Destroyer and Wacker. Among them, as soon as Bia lowered his head, he let Zero fall steadily on its head. The two Star Destroyers let out a long chirp, their fins flapping, and began to climb high into the air, flying side by side over the fleet.

Paul looked at the beast in the sky, and at the barely visible figure on it, and the pope said softly, "Take care, my friend." ”

Across the endless sea of radiation, far to the far east of the planet, the Eastern Continent has changed beyond recognition. On the same day, Prosius's army invaded the south and east, disintegrating the entire East Asian Alliance, and the area north of the Eternal Mountains was scorched for thousands of miles. The original vegetation on the land has now been uprooted, the low hills have been leveled, and the landforms of the continent are infinitely tending to the plains.

Hundreds of black plumes of smoke rose over this black plain, connecting the earth like a tornado to the storm clouds that hung over the sky. From time to time, the pillar of smoke flashes a crimson color, which is the energy of the continent, which is being continuously squeezed and extracted, and finally enters the storm clouds that lie above and becomes the food of Prosius.

This area has become a realm of life, and the only people who can move on the land are the biological legions of Prosius. However, at this moment, this land is so desolate that there are not even many biological weapons.

Now, Prosious' army has crossed the Eternal Mountains and is fully attacking the Plains of Drinking Horses.

When Wacker the Star Destroyer flew through the Eternal Mountains, he was discovered by the Qin army stationed at the outposts of the Mountains. Without time to wait for Long Hai's instructions, the troops stationed at the outpost launched a fierce assault on the Star Destroyer. WACKER instantly charged and unleashed a high-energy beam that leveled nearly 5,000 soldiers at several outposts. However, in the process of charging, WACKER was also attacked by the garrison in a frenzied manner, and eventually the left fin wings and nearby bodies were blasted through by cannon fire.

After leveling the outpost, Wacker swapped its balance and slammed down the Eternal Mountains, knocking the towering ridge into a massive gap that stretched for nearly a kilometer, and the Star Destroyer fell into the Drinking Horse Plains. To this day, kilometers of ravines that the Star Destroyer had plowed into the ground when it fell are still remnants of the ground.

Due to an accident, Wacker didn't have time to release the guards in his body, so he bought Qin precious time. Emperor Longhai immediately made a decision, led the army into the Drinking Horse Plain, and after paying a certain price, finally bombarded Wacker. On that day, the remains of the Star Destroyer were incinerated along with the alien eggs of the internal guards. All that remains on the ground today is a charred skeleton.

A pair of military boots stamped on the ground not far from the skeleton, a dark red color, strewn with parts of a chariot, a twisted firearm, or even a human stump hidden under the dirt. It's a living hell that bears witness to the horrors of the day's fighting.

The owner of the boots looked up, and the sky light shining from behind the radiation cloud shone on Modas's face. This body, manipulated by Prosius, is now the commander of the Black Legion. With a wave of his hand, behind him, the biological weapons that densely filled all corners of the land began to advance. They crossed Modas and rolled like a tide across the Drinking Horse Plain, and the soldiers pointed to it as the capital of Qin.

The city that never falls!
