Dust Accumulation (2)
When Stephanie walked out of the top of the city, it seemed that endless light was focused on her body in an instant, Stephanie was wearing a grand and gorgeous breast-length dress today, with a crystal clear ice blue gem on her chest, which complemented her fair skin.
The face that was still radiant had long since faded its youthful youth, and was replaced by a resolute and resolute face, like the silver crown that had been recast after her victory, with sharp edges and corners that seemed to cut through all gloom.
Behind Stephanie, Adams Angelo, dressed in a red cloak, bowed slightly, dragging the long dress that seemed to be full of stars for his daughter.
With each step of the two of them, Hurlis's cheers had reached their peak, the sound of the mountain and the tsunami of the mountains coiled and stirred in the towering and solid city walls, as if it had shaken the air out of ripples, the various battle flags hanging on the city walls fluttered with the sound and the wind, and countless white doves circled in the sky.
Listening to the cheers of the whole kingdom, Stephanie's steps were still firm, and there was no trace of waves in her blue pupils like a deep pool, but the shallow flush on her cheeks could still see that she was not infected by the grand atmosphere, and it took ten minutes for Stephanie to walk to the center of the palace wall.
As Stephanie raised her hand, the cheers of the whole city suddenly stopped, like a wave, leaving only the countless admiring glances and heavy gasps between them.
Stephanie stared at her people, was silent for a moment, and said aloud, "Three years ago today, the evil demons of hell were only one step away from us, they were under the city walls, looking at the city with that disgusting covetous gaze, they did not know how to appreciate beauty, their souls were only bloody"
"Our land is devastated, and our warriors have fought to the last of their soldiers in front of this wall, and a new wall has been built with countless corpses, but even so, we cannot resist the invasion of demons, but at the last moment, an army that seems to have fallen from the sky has become the last savior of this crumbling country, wearing leather armor that they have sewn themselves, holding the same hunting yesterday, I could see in their eyes the fear of facing monsters and stepping on the battlefield for the first time, but despite this, they didn't take a step back!"
"They used the most broken equipment to withstand the last crazy onslaught of the demons, they never took a step back, they became Corvo's last soul defense, not our kingdom has won, but the will of our people has triumphed!
Stephanie's voice was amplified through the soul array, and it spread to every inch of Hurlis's land, Luo Mu even saw that the people around him had burst into tears, Stephanie's words were sonorous and powerful, and they went straight to the hearts of the people, and this team called Seven Stars was indeed worthy of the respect of the entire country.
Stephanie seemed to be calming herself, she paused slightly and continued, "For the past three years, my father has managed this team of heroes, and after they have undergone elite training, they have become an invincible professional demon exorcist team, they have the most powerful physique, the best equipment, and the toughest will throughout, they are the warriors who fear the demons, and the strongest defenders of our kingdom."
Stephanie looked around at everyone and said firmly, "I think it's time now, the seven stars come from the people, so naturally the people should be responsible, and through the people's election and our review, we finally have the most suitable candidate, he, that is, Alva!"
A sturdy figure jumped up from the side of the palace, the corners of the long black trench coat hunting, and the redbud flowers blooming behind it were like the sun breaking through the clouds.
Luo Mu quietly looked at the young man standing on the high platform in the cheers of the tsunami, that young man Luo Mu is no stranger, three years ago, at the birthday banquet of Yalvis's daughter, Alva, who was only 18 years old, shot at the minister of the country, Jarvis, who was above 10,000 people under one person.
But all of Alva's plans were easily destroyed by Luo Mu, who was still subordinate to Igniz at the time, and was also caught by Luo Mu and interrogated.
Ciris was very keenly aware of the changes in Luo Mu's eyes, Ciris knew some things about Luo Mu's past, she looked at Alva with some curiosity, tilted her head slightly and asked, "Does the master know him?"
Luo Mu didn't answer, and only said after a while, "It's considered to be an acquaintance" Ciris looked at Luo Mu's expression, nodded thoughtfully, and didn't ask again.
Alva has completely lost his youthful appearance, and his resolute face seems to be full of battle-hardened weather, Luo Mu can see that Alva is not a soul master, but his body has become extremely powerful after some cruel training, and even the simple leap just now is not something that ordinary warriors can do.
Just as Alva stood on the high platform, the gate of Hurlis opened to the east, and two teams of white horses dressed in black trench coats galloped along the bluestone pavement of Hurlis's long street, as if they had been arranged for a long time, and the people in the street had already made way for them.
There are about fifty people in this line, only a few women, and the rest are all men, Luo Mu can feel the fluctuation of soul power from a few of them, which shows that the strength of this seven-star team is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, but this shows even more that Alva is strong, as an ordinary person, but let the soul master be willing to be his subordinate, it seems that this young man who was a little cowardly in front of Luo Mu back then must have something extraordinary.
Behind the windbreaker of the seven stars is the national emblem of Corvo, the bauhinia, but the color is slightly different, it seems that different colors represent different levels, and the bauhinia behind Alva is a very unique red gold.
The team of the seven stars stopped in unison under the high platform, and everyone turned over and dismounted, standing on one side, and the horses did not even make a neighing sound, which shows the essence of the team's royal horses.
After the seven-star procession was lined up, Alva stood on the high platform, looked at the people in the city, and said loudly, "In the war three years ago, some people lost their fathers, some people lost their lovers, although we won, but there are people in this country who are as evil as demons, they have long been assimilated by demons, and at this moment, they have built an evil city like reptiles, on the land that belongs to us!"
"Some people may think that their departure is a pain, but I think that this is a good time to exchange blood and remove bones, when the evil people leave this bright land and are willing to gather in some dark corner, what we need to do is to catch them!"
"As long as we're here, the demons don't want to invade an inch of this territory! We will never let that haze pollute half an inch of the sky here!"
As he spoke, Alva pulled out the long sword at his waist, and with a swing of the sword, several thick ropes around him broke in response, and Luo Mu only noticed at this moment that Alva was standing on a high platform at all, but a black stone tablet!
The stele was covered by a red curtain before, and only now did it reveal its original appearance, the upper part of the stele was already densely engraved with names, which were the names of the previous and current warriors of the Seven Stars, and Alva's name was at the top!
"After March, the coalition led by Corvo will uproot that evil city, Seven Stars, and you will definitely take the lead!"
"This seven-star monument will be the crown mound of the seven-star people, and it is also the epitaph of the seven-star people"
Alva raised the long sword in his hand and shouted, "Seven stars, victory!"
The dozens of Seven Star team members pulled out the long knives at their waists in unison when Alva's words just fell, and shouted loudly, "Seven Stars, you will win!"
This loud roar seemed to directly drown out the cheers of the whole city, and the spirit of slaughter and bravery rushed to the face, which couldn't help but make people look awe-inspired.
Luo Mu looked at Alva who was holding his sword high, he was the protagonist of today's feast, Luo Mu knew that Corvo held such a grand ceremony, on the one hand, to enhance the confidence of the people, and most importantly, to call on the whole world to officially declare war on Igniz!
This is also why Alva announced that he would go on the expedition in three months, not now, Corvo knows very well that even if they use the strength of the whole country to defeat the forces of hell behind Igniz and the evil city of Krefeld, they will never destroy hell, and Corvo will definitely pay a price that they simply cannot afford, all this Corvo cannot not be unclear, the miserable victory of Corvo will never have the good luck of the last time, no one knows what other countries are planning.
Therefore, Corvo's move is by no means impulsive, behind this, there must be the shadow of an organization called "Firelight" that seems to stand on the top of the whole world.
Luo Mu looked at Alva on the high platform and Stephanie at the top, and couldn't help but feel a little sad for them, everyone in the whole country was kept in the dark by them, and perhaps only Stephanie and a few people knew how stormy and uncertain Corvo was at the moment.
Under the pressure of hell and the whole world, Corvo must stand at the front of the stage and appear in the powder, and in a way, Corvo is like a puppet that can only hold on.
Luo Mu thought silently, not knowing what kind of guarantee Huomang gave Corvo, but now, Corvo really has no bargaining capital.
Luo Mu took a deep look at Stephanie on the high platform again, turned around and walked out of the crowd, Luo Mu knew that under Corvo's move, the whole world may soon enter a new turbulent tense, and the real curtain will be slowly opened at this moment.
There is not much time left for him.
