"Crackling ....." The sound of firecrackers rang out, and everyone ushered in the last day of the year.

Everyone should be immersed in a joyful atmosphere on Chinese New Year's Eve, or logically so.

However, this situation is relatively only found in those places where there is a desire to have fun.

Before he knew it, this was the second Chinese New Year's Eve that Xiao Tianxing had spent in the Hungarian Fortress, and after this night, he had come to the eleven-year-old year.

The snowflakes were still flying in the sky, and everyone's homes inside the fortress were brightly lit.

Fragrant food was hot on the stove, but there was no laughter at the table where they used to sit together.

This is the case for almost all the people in the fortress, and as for why they are like this, it is because they all know that this Spring Festival will be destined to be peaceful.

"Thorn, stab, stab, ......" came a regular grinding sound, followed by the sound of shouts for eating.

"Come and eat, or it will be cold in a while!"

"Got it!" After agreeing, the busy man finally put down the weapon he was polishing.

When I came to the dining table, I was faced with a pile of delicious food, but only the shadow of wine was missing.

On this day that should be celebrated with drinking, all people choose not to drink and instead fill their stomachs.

While eating, the husband also looked at his wife next to him and asked about the preparation of the food.

"How's the dry food and pickles prepared, is it enough for four days?"

"That's enough! That's enough! Five days' worth is enough! And all the water bladders are full, so you can eat with confidence!"

"Well, that's good!" After nodding in satisfaction, the man began to eat with his head down, and the woman picked up her dishes and chopsticks without saying a word.

The whole fortress was eating the steaming delicious meal, but it was just that, and nothing else was done.

After eating this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the woman was busy packing up the dishes and chopsticks, while the man came to the side of the millstone again and picked up the weapon that still needed to be polished.

This is not just the case, but almost the entire fortress.

Everyone in the Shuaifu also sat around and ate dinner, but all the same people didn't have any extra words, just ate the food in their bowls as soon as possible.

"I'm done eating! I'm going to get ready first!" After eating, Xiao Tianxing said hello and stood up and left the hall.

Everyone just nodded at his departure, but did not make any superfluous movements, let alone superfluous words.

All the way back to his residence, Xiao Tianxing pushed the door and entered the room.

Looking at the usual furnishings in the room, Xiao Tianxing's eyes also revealed a trace of nostalgia.

"I don't know, how is Sister Zixin doing now?"

Closing his eyes and thinking about the red-clothed Qianying, the corners of Xiao Tianxing's mouth also showed a faint smile, and his hand unconsciously touched his ears.

Closing the door with his hand, Xiao Tianxing also came to the table.

"Whew......!" let out a long breath, Xiao Tianxing also picked up the stainless steel short sword on the table and sharpened it seriously.

After some busy work, the stainless steel short sword in Xiao Tianxing's hand also glowed with a burst of cold light.

Putting the short sword into the scabbard, Xiao Tianxing once again took out a bunch of medicinal materials in his Rongkong Stone ring and began to process them seriously.

These herbs are some of the herbs that are made for external injuries, and some of them are also used for internal injuries.

After handling these medicinal materials briefly, Xiao Tianxing began to carefully check the things he had prepared on his body to see if there was anything missing.

I checked the weapons, food, pills, and water on my body again...... After everything was ready, Xiao Tianxing also stood up and left the table.

Coming to the shelf where his armor was placed, Xiao Tianxing stretched out his hand and stroked the black crystal armor, and his face also showed a helpless and desolate expression.

"Hey!" After sighing lightly, Xiao Tianxing also took off his coat, and at this time he also saw a green purse hanging from his chest.

Reaching out and grabbing the green purse, a happy smile appeared on his face.

This purse was a gift from Bei'er to Xiao Tianxing when they were separated, and this purse was also made by Bei'er herself.

Picking up the purse and putting it under his nose, smelling the fresh smell of grass, Xiao Tianxing's whole spirit has recovered a lot.

"Zhen'er, when the situation calms down, I will go to Qingmingshan to find you!"

After muttering a word, Xiao Tianxing took off his armor on the shelf.

Just when Xiao Tianxing was about to put on his armor, the door of his room was also pushed in.

"Crunch!" After hearing the sound of the door opening, Xiao Tianxing also turned his head slightly, and then Yan'er's worried little face also appeared in Xiao Tianxing's sight.

"Brother!" called Xiao Tianxing softly, and Yan'er also stepped into the room.

"Yan'er, you're full, why don't you go to sleep?" While speaking, Xiao Tianxing also came to Xiao Tianxing's face.

Biting her lip and looking at Xiao Tianxing in front of her, after hesitating for a moment, Yan'er stretched out her hand and hugged Xiao Tianxing at once.

"Brother, is there a war coming soon? I see what everyone is preparing. I'm scared !!"

Feeling Yan'er's trembling body, Xiao Tianxing also stretched out his hands and hugged her gently.

"Yan'er, don't be afraid, there is a brother who will definitely not let you be hurt !!" Xiao Tianxing's words were quite peaceful, but the tone revealed endless firmness.

Listening to Xiao Tianxing's assurances and feeling his warm embrace, Yan'er's hands not only increased a little strength.

"Brother, why do you want to fight? If there is no war, won't everyone be able to live happily together?"

"Why do those demons keep harassing this place? Why? They don't have to eat, they don't have to sleep, they don't even have to spend money, but why are they plundering this place?"

Yan'er's questions were one after another, and the corners of Xiao Tianxing's mouth were also hung with a touch of helplessness.

"If possible, my brother hopes to find the answer to this question, but before we can find the answer to this question, we must first make sure that we are still alive. ”

"Those demon spirits really don't need to eat, they don't need to spend money, to put it simply, they don't need anything. ”

"But the people behind them need it, so they let these demons come to plunder and kill, and all we can do is fight with everything we can to resist. ”

Listening to Xiao Tianxing's words quietly, Yan'er didn't know what it was like in her heart.

Gently raising her head to look at Xiao Tianxing in front of her, Yan'er also made a request to him.

"Brother, can you let me sleep with you tonight? I also want my brother to sleep with me like he did when he hugged Sister Qingfeng!"

Looking at Yan'er's expectant look, Xiao Tianxing also stretched out his hand and pinched her little nose.

"Yes, I can grant you that!"

"Thank you, brother!" In a moment of surprise, Yan'er hugged Xiao Tianxing's hands, and she also worked harder.

In Ran Yun's room, the lights were still bright, and under the lights, a figure standing up to the sky was carefully observing the map in front of him.

On the table in front of Ran Yun, there were polished steel short swords, five diamond darts, and the set of black crystal armor that he wore on his body.

As the deputy commander and support commander of the city head of this defensive operation, the burden on Ran Yun's shoulders is undoubtedly very heavy.

For him, who is about to turn sixteen, every day will be a huge challenge.

Carefully remembering all the key points on the map, he also put the map away.

"Whew......!" After a long breath, Ran Yun's hand also reached into his neck.

Pulling out the rope hanging around his neck, he pulled it gently, and he also took out the jade pendant that he was wearing closely.

"Brother Ran Yun, this jade pendant was given to me by my mother when I was born, and it has been with me until now. ”

"I'm going to give it to you today, you must wear it with you, and you have to wear it close to your body, you know?"

"If you want to think about it, take out this jade pendant and look at it......"

The original words were still in his ears, and a faint smile hung on the corner of Ran Yun's mouth.

Gently put this jade pendant to his lips, and his heart also made up his final decision.

"Sisi, obediently wait for me in Liyang, after this battle is over, I will go to Liyang to find you. ”

"At that time, I will definitely be a man worthy of you. ”

"Hey...!" A soft sigh came, and the figure that was watching Ran Yun on the roof disappeared in place.

Except for the members of the guards, there was no longer a single child in the fortress.

Although they had insisted on staying, Yi Han persevered in the end and sent them to the valley.

At this moment, everyone in the fortress is in their own position, and several top combat forces in the fortress, such as Mu Xing and Xiang Liang, are also quietly meditating on their knees at this moment.

Yi Han returned to Ye Chen's side, quietly enjoying the quiet time with his wife and daughter.

Ye Chen was also very clear about what was going to happen next, but she still chose to stay and accompany her husband and son to get through the difficulties in front of her.

"Huhuhu....!" In the midst of the cold wind, the wind and snow outside intensified again, and everything outside became so quiet.

Except for the cold wind that kept calling, except for the white feathers flying in the sky, all that could be heard in the entire fortress was the wordless sound of farewell.

In the dark night full of wind and snow, the endless darkness also began to devour everything around it, and it kept moving forward and walking, and gradually came to the place it longed for.

Also in the dark night of wind and snow, a figure in a pale blue robe also stood quietly in the air and watched everything outside the Hungarian fortress.

And in her arms, there is a little doll that looks like she has just turned one year old.

"Will you help with this time?" the milky voice came, and Bao'er in her arms also asked her own questions to Qian Qian.

"My mission is to protect Her Royal Highness, and I will help her clean up all the unfavorable factors for Her Royal Highness!!"

"Hehe! huh?" With a chuckle, Bao'er had no more words, and at this time, his eyes were far away in the northwest, which had turned into a vast primeval forest.

"Huhuhu...!" The cold wind continued, the snow was still falling, but people were prepared.
