Chapter 955 Light and Darkness

  Chapter 955 Light and Darkness

  Saren was the last leader of the various forces to arrive, even half an hour later than the chief technology officer of the academy, and he almost stepped into the hall of the conference room on time.

  Chu Guang looked at his face and could feel the pride written on his face, and he also knew why.

  If you want to say who is the biggest beneficiary of the disintegration of the legion, it is undoubtedly this smug guy in front of him.

  As the eldest son of the legion, almost half of Julius’s family business is in the hands of the Eastern Empire, while Triumph City is left with only one province, Willant.

  Julius was sent off in a grand manner, and he was the undisputed emperor of the tens of millions of square kilometers of land!

  At least the funeral in Norton City is over!

  ”I am also very happy to meet you, the emperor of the Eastern Empire. I can see that you should be in a good mood.”

  Saren patted Chu Guang’s arm and grinned as he gave him a bear hug.

  ”Thanks to you, the long-cherished wish of the successive legion commanders of the Eastern Legion has been fulfilled here.”

  He should really thank the alliance.

  General Kras died in the Great Rift Valley, and Griffin crashed into the wall of the River Valley Province with the last bit of the eastward expansion faction. The old military nobles who owned land became the largest political force in the Eastern Legion.

  Including the drastic changes in Triumph City later, the root cause was actually the radical faction of the Weilant people who were influenced by the idea of ​​alliance.

  The death of Theodosius led to the collapse of the Roman Empire, but also made Constantinople and later Byzantium glorious.

  In a sense, the Eastern Legion – or the Eastern Empire today, is in the same position, but the core of the details is different.

  Looking at the jubilant Saren, Chu Guang also nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone.

  ”I believe this is also the long-cherished wish of every Weilant in the Eastern Empire. The soldiers of the expeditionary army can rest in peace.”

  Understanding what he meant, Saren laughed and then gave a thumbs up.

  ”I like smart people because we can reach a consensus quickly and save time by telling riddles.”

  After a pause, he said.

  ”Olet and his direct line are now officers of the Eastern Empire. According to our investigation, they were deceived by Tyr.”

  ”Who is Olet?”

  Chu Guang really didn’t know this name.

  Maybe he had appeared in the intelligence of the Guards Corps or on the official website forum, but it didn’t matter to him.

  He was just a commander on the front line, at most a chess piece on the chessboard. No matter how evil he was, he was defeated by Tyr.

  As for those important war criminals who caused a sensation in Dawn City and even Ideal City, such as Captain Ryan who ordered the bombing of Lion City and caused the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians, and John who executed the order, etc., the Eastern Empire would not interfere with the trial of these people. After all, the cost of saving them is not proportional to the benefits.

  However, Saren was smart enough to “understand” what he meant and frowned at him.

  ”That’s nice! Of course, I won’t let you suffer any loss. Let’s put it this way. I’ll give you the big fish of Gullion. By the way, tell me the bottom line. In which state is the core of the alliance’s interests in the Borneo Province? I’ll think about how to divide this cake better.”

  Dividing the fish is fake. This guy wants to talk to me about how to divide Borneo…

  Chu Guang looked at the self-righteous emperor with a smile and said in a teasing tone.

  ”What’s the use of us having so much land? One mu and three fen of land in the Valley Province is enough for us to plant, and the extra seeds can even be given to others. And you, you are not satisfied with more than 10 million square kilometers? Your core population is only a little bit. If you want more than 10 million people, aren’t you afraid that they will unite and rebel?”

  Although the first sentence made Saren disdainful, he couldn’t help twitching his eyebrows when he heard the latter.

  It doesn’t seem like a threat.

  But thinking of what happened in the Xilan Empire, he couldn’t help shuddering.

  Maybe it’s not a good idea to covet hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

  The Weilantes have some idol baggage after all. There is really no need for them to end up like the Sun and Ox tribes, rolling in the mud with a group of loaches.

  Saren forced an unnatural smile on his face and dispelled the fleeting thought.

  ”Enough, of course it is enough… We just want a buffer zone. After all, there are many refugees of the Weilantes living in the southwest corner of the Zhuobal Mountains.”

  Chu Guang laughed.

  ”The two representatives of the Borneo Province are still here. Why don’t you talk to them?”

  Saren’s expression gradually stiffened.

  He knew that it would be useless to talk. Neither Abusek nor Laxi would agree to cede any of the thirteen states of Borneo Province, and the final result would definitely be to exchange their lives for what they wanted!

  However –

  he was not completely without a chance.

  The stiff muscles gradually forced out a smile, and Saren stared at him and continued.

  ”Don’t talk like you are a white lotus. What about the 10,000 square kilometers of Lowell State?”

  Chu Guang said with a faint smile.

  ”Golden Galleon Port has always been the local people’s own Golden Galleon Port. Their mayor and their representative council were all elected by themselves. From the beginning to the end, no official or representative appointed by the Alliance has ever held any position in the local area.”

  After a pause, he continued.

  ”I hope that the same is true for West Sail Port. The Willant people can stay in the local area, but the city hall and the court must be returned to the local people, no matter what the method is. Otherwise, you may have to be prepared to continue the war that the Southern Legion has not finished.”

  This statement is considered to be very tough.

  And it is no longer a threat of soft power, but a further threat of hard power.

  Reading Chu Guang’s deep meaning, Saren still had a calm smile on his face.

  Although he did not force the Alliance to make substantial concessions, after all, after his probing, he had already figured out the bottom line of the Alliance.

  The model of the Triumph City Civil Service Group did not cross the bottom line of the Alliance, while the model of the Southern Legion completely crossed the bottom line of the Alliance.

  That’s easy to say.

  ”We will return Xifan Port to the locals, but the premise is that you will no longer interfere in the internal affairs of the Borneo Province.”

  Looking at the smiling Salen, Chu Guang also smiled faintly and said in a gentle tone.

  ”It depends on the extent of your interference, whether it is direct or indirect, and whether you abide by the ancient contract.”

  As long as the Eastern Empire does not launch an armed invasion of the Borneo Province, he is unlikely to interfere with the cooperation between the two.

  This is also true for the Falcon Kingdom.

  The Alliance has done everything it can in the local area, but the local survivors are still more willing to get closer to the Eastern Empire, and this is their own choice.

  In just a few words, the negotiations on the post-war order of four million square kilometers ended.

  Both the Eastern Empire and the Alliance got the results they wanted, and Abusek and Shawa could breathe a sigh of relief.

  At least the emperor of the Eastern Empire promised to withdraw troops from Xifan Port.

  Even if these Willant people removed the last screw of Xifan Port and moved it away, it would be better than fighting another war to regain territory. Besides, how

  much can they take away no matter how hard they load the ship?

  Those steel bars stuck in the ground and the concrete wrapped around the steel bars can never be moved.

  And the knowledge in the heads of the residents of Xifan Port.

  As long as they are given enough time, it is only a matter of time before the prosperous Xifan Port is rebuilt.

  Abusek looked at Chu Guang with a hint of gratitude, and Chu Guang just smiled faintly and said nothing.

  He did not send troops to support the Poros to resist the invaders for the sake of the Poros’ gratitude, nor did he want to be their father, but for all the survivors in the eastern part of the Central Continent who might suffer the evil of the Legion.

  This naturally includes the Alliance.

  Therefore, they don’t need to thank themselves, let alone regard themselves as saviors. Just

  keep moving forward with these memories.

  As long as they face their hearts and their past honestly, whether they are the Weilants or the Poros, the future will be bright…

  Under the expectations of hundreds of millions of survivors, representatives from various forces have successively entered the conference hall in the heart of the Great Rift Valley.

  The wide conference center is like a circular theater, and the tables and chairs on the scene are made of angular granite, and it seems that they were cut out of a whole granite vein by lasers or something else! The

  crystal-like chandelier is about fifty meters above the ground, growing on the dome like an inverted pyramid, emitting a soft milky white light downwards.

  It is said that this doomsday facility was built before the war.

  I think only that era with infinite prosperity can build such a magnificent spectacle.

  When Abusek stepped into the conference room, he was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, unable to control the shock in his heart.

  More than two hundred years ago, the survivors of the Human Union era sat here to discuss how they should face their future destiny.

  At that time, there should be no concept of the Wasteland Era.

  Facing the extreme cold that dropped to -50 degrees below zero and the sky that could not see a trace of light, no one knew whether their doomsday would end, and what if it would not end.

  Abusek could not help but sigh with emotion.

  ”So that’s it… From which year did this Wasteland Era start? I’m afraid it was decided in the 50th year of the Wasteland Era.”

  If the cold winter did not end in the 50th year of the Wasteland Era, then the past 50 years would be considered the Doomsday Era. What

  later people took for granted was not taken for granted for the people at that time.

  Although the survivors of Tiandu now cursed him for nothing, saying that he was the executioner who killed more Brahmas than Janusz, and that he was a robber who robbed farmers of their money by imposing consumption tax on grains, but one day they might miss him as much as they miss Lowell.

  After all, no one can guarantee that someone will really do what he wanted to do but didn’t have the nerve or the courage to do?

  The number of people who died during Janusz’s tenure was not as many as when he was the commander-in-chief. This statement is really true.

  That guy led the Heavenly King’s Army to rob the nobles’ manors, let the slaves sleep with the sisters-in-law and daughters who they had only dared to dream about but not touch all their lives, and let Duwata rob his wives and concubines, and Shah Rukh’s house was full of gold, silver and jewelry…

  It was his shot that awakened their unfinished beautiful dreams. Shouldn’t the unfinished dreams continue?

  Maybe he should write a confession of guilt.

  ”Hahaha! Interesting, so damn interesting…”

  Thinking of this, Abusek laughed out loud, even crying, and even his originally gloomy mood was swept away, and he became much more free and easy in an instant.

  The collapse of the Heavenly Palace made him let go of his obsession with the throne, and no longer expected the impossible eternity, and converting to the Silver Moon Sect made him let go of his obsession with power, and no longer be suspicious of everyone.

  Now he has finally achieved his own perfection – even everything that he couldn’t let go of was let go at this moment.

  He finally saw the dry well that belonged to him.

  What trapped him was not the thick walls on both sides, nor the unreachable clouds above his head –

  it was himself from beginning to end.

  ”Whether it is merit or demerit, it will be left to future generations to say!”

  Like Mayor Odo of the Free State, he finally looked straight into his heart, and completely understood himself at the last second before the game was about to end.

  And it was at this moment that the nightmare that had trapped him for so long finally came to an end…

  …

  Everyone at the meeting was amazed at the grandeur of the conference hall, and some people lamented that it would be great if they could use the money to build another shelter.

  Only a few people can reconcile with the past, and even fewer can walk out of the glory of the past.

  Abusek’s performance was relatively good, at least he could still think like a normal person.

  And people like the mayor of the Dam City were stunned and looked around to find their confidants. Without their left and right arms, they were at a loss for a while.

  Facts have proved that pigs on the wind do not necessarily know everything, and they may not be able to calm down all the storms.

  As for the real bosses, they have already sat in their respective seats calmly.

  Whether it was the governor of Triumph City, the manager of the alliance, the chief technology officer of the academy, the board members of the enterprise, as well as Salen of the Eastern Empire, the emperor of the Northern Empire who was as strong as a bear, and the foreign minister in formal attire sent by the president of the New Federation…

  all the things that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and the things that were not discussed were not worth mentioning. They were just going through the motions sitting here.

  However, the organizers of the meeting were equal. Even the leaders of insignificant small forces received enough respect here, and it was guaranteed that everyone found their own seats before the meeting began.

  No matter whether the stories behind them were ridiculous or not, no matter who was sitting here or who looked like a clown in whose eyes, they were the choices made by a group of wastelanders from the bottom of their hearts.

  At least it was the choice at this moment! At

  the same time when everyone took their seats, a solemn and solemn voice rang out in the conference hall——

  ”Thank you for taking the time to come here…”

  ”I am the chief of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee.”

  Many people already knew the identity of the old man, and many people were even lucky enough to see his different face.

  But this time he did not tell any riddles, and did not even say a word.

  After simply reading the opening remarks, he handed the time to the young people present –

  ”I declare that this Human Conference is officially open!”

  Thunderous applause resounded throughout the venue. Zhou Xianlin, who was sitting in a corner of the venue, even stood up excitedly and raised his hands above his head.

  The leader of the Red River Alliance not far away glanced at the madman and sneered with disdain, but in the end, he applauded like everyone else present.

  Including Salen, who was sitting in the front row of the venue and yawning, he also clapped his hands to show his face.

  For him personally, the real things to be discussed had been decided before the meeting began.

  He not only met Chu Guang, but also met representatives sent by enterprises and colleges, as well as several representatives of the former legion forces.

  Including the young man who inherited Julius’ armor and was recognized by the Imperial Guard.

  As for the other survivors, they were like ants in front of him. He didn’t care what they thought.

  However, seeing that the big guys at the same table were all serious, he still got a little interested and stood up from the granite chair.

  ”Haha, let me see what tricks these young people can come up with…”

  …

  The thunderous applause was like firecrackers on New Year’s Eve, bidding farewell to the 214th year of the Wasteland Era that had already gone away.

  As for when the new era will come, it will take a long time after the meeting to see the result.

  At this moment, in a remote corner of the wasteland, Niyang, who was blocked on the road to the front line, spent a simple New Year in the car with his most trusted student and assistant Fyodor.

  Looking at “Mr. Rat” who had been considering for a long time but still couldn’t write the expeditionary manifesto, Fyodor’s face was full of confusion.

  His impression of the master was not like this.

  Even when he was a servant at the Duke of Galava’s knees, this gentleman had a straight spine.

  But why?

  When he came to Lacy, this proud scholar lowered his head.

  Was it just because that guy killed people without a trace, and even killed his own people when he was crazy?

  He was resentful in his heart and complained in a low voice.

  ”…If you can’t write, I can write for you. If you are afraid, I can die for you.”

  After saying that, he reached out to take the paper and pen in Niyang’s hand, but was snatched away by the latter.

  ”Don’t get involved in this muddy water!” Niyang scolded, and then thought about the blank paper.

  Fyodor was not convinced and looked him in the eye.

  ”Those are your students. You taught us to be upright, but why don’t you support them.”

  Niyang put down the paper and pen, moved his body with difficulty, and turned to face his students.

  ”I only ask you one question. You want to overthrow Lacy, have you thought about what will happen after you overthrow him?”

  Fyodor said without hesitation.

  ”Of course I have thought about it. We will establish a representative council and then establish our fundamental law like the survivors of the Stone City.”

  Looking at the young man with his chest straightened, Ni Yang laughed out loud and couldn’t help coughing again.

  ”Depend on you? You kids who still have to ask your parents for tuition to pay the wages of those workers who returned from overseas?”

  Fyodor’s face turned red. He didn’t know why the teacher mentioned those workers who returned from overseas. He only knew that the look in his eyes didn’t believe they could accomplish anything.

  ”Don’t look down on us!”

  Ni Yang shook his head and panted softly.

  ”I don’t look down on you. I love each of you deeply. So I have always been against politics in the classroom. We should give children the truth that is closer to the essence, and this is also the biggest disagreement between me and Sir Kabaha… Ahem, he said that you have to use strong medicine to cure the disease and you have to go too far to correct the wrong, but I said that if he does that, another thousand universities will become a thousand pillars to nail all of us to them.”

  If a person only obtains knowledge from books, it is inevitable that he will look at objective problems in the form of ideology.

  This will definitely fall into the trap of the blind man touching the elephant.

  Abusek is just a dock worker. He doesn’t understand so many great principles, but he has rich experience in the underworld. He can get along well with all kinds of people and knows what they want.

  Only such a person can check and balance the lustful Duwata, the greedy Shahruk, and the Nigli who loves art and makes friends with literati…

  It is precisely because of this that when the legion came, only Shahruk ran away, instead of all three idiots running away, leaving a group of idiots with their own ulterior motives waiting to be defeated one by one.

  Even if the alliance moved the capital to Tiandu, it would be useless. The “butcher”, “jungle rat” and “iron general” could only run away with their heads in their arms. At most, whoever is smarter and runs faster will be judged.

  But then again, this kind of “thoughtless” mediocre person is what intellectuals like Sir Kabaha despise the most. Even if Abusek pulled him out from under Janusz’s knife, they would think from the bottom of their hearts that this group of bandits without a guiding program could win just by luck.

  Sir Kabaha never told him this, but Nyan knew that he thought so.

  They called themselves radicals, and thought that everything would be fine if everyone listened to them. As a result, they became idealists in their own fantasy and madmen in the eyes of most people.

  They would definitely think, “At worst, let the alliance launch an attack on their imaginary enemy,” “Everything will be fine as long as the enemy makes a mistake,” and “The enemy’s mistakes must be inevitable because they are wrong.”

  This naive idea is fundamentally different from that of an idealist.

  Just like pragmatists are not nihilists after all, no matter how close they are to nihilists.

  There are only two outcomes for such madmen in the end, either being used as a gun by a thorough Machiavellian, or burning themselves and all their followers after a lucky success, completing the self-touching martyrdom.

  In a trance, he thought of what he should write, and grabbed the pen on the paper, but the pen fell to the ground, along with a few pieces of red blood that looked like soil.

  ”Teacher!”

  Fyodor exclaimed, dragged Niyang who fell in the car, and saw that the blood could not stop flowing out.

  ”What happened?” The driver who heard the movement behind him turned around suddenly, and his face turned pale when he saw Niyang’s condition, “Sir! What happened to you-”

  ”Don’t worry about it! Drive!”

  Stimulated by the color of blood, Fyodor’s mind went blank. He grabbed the driver’s collar and yelled at him.

  The driver was not scared by the blood. He used to drive for the leader of the Moon Clan Resistance Army and was considered half a soldier. But when he was about to step on the accelerator, he looked at the huge crowd of cars in front of him.

  Horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts were mixed on the road…

  They were all refugees migrating eastward from the front line.

  The 30,000th team of the Borneo Kingdom was advancing towards the west bank of the Tasang River. That was the rumored “Jungle Rat” who appeared and disappeared everywhere! The well-deserved military god of the whole war!

  And now this guy pointed his gun at them…

  The civil war is coming!

  ”Think of a way quickly! By the way, how about driving outside this dirt road!”

  Fyodor yelled, his face full of despair, but he didn’t think that this dirt road was still a road after all. If they drove on the off-road ground, they would probably fall apart after only two kilometers.

  The road they were walking on was the only way, there was no other way.

  Fortunately, the driver reacted quickly, opened the door and went to the back seat, and lifted Ni Yang out of the car.

  ”Help him first! I’ll go find someone!”

  Without hesitation, the driver ran quickly and soon stopped a convoy of a wealthy family from the migrating team, wanting to use his previous gun and car keys to pay for two horses, and promised that no matter whether the owner was saved or not, they would get benefits.

  The wealthy family was also a good person. As soon as he saw the gun, he knew that the person in trouble was not simple.

  So he didn’t take the gun and car keys at all, but sent three young and strong guys on horses to help, and volunteered to stay to look after the vehicle for them.

  In this day and age, those who have guns are the masters, and they must have countless guns to be able to use guns to pay debts at will!

  This favor is a big profit no matter how you think about it!

  Just when the wealthy family was happy, three horses galloped in the wilderness, taking the unconscious Ni Yang to the nearest town.

  There are Laxi’s garrisons there, and where there are garrisons there are doctors and telephones! After

  galloping for 20 miles, the group finally arrived at the nearest town.

  After learning about Niyang’s situation, the company commander stationed there immediately reported the situation to his superiors and asked for assistance, and arranged for the medical soldiers accompanying the army to give him emergency treatment.

  Standing next to the bed, Fyodor was full of regret and self-blame, and silently prayed for the unconscious teacher in his heart.

  At this moment, Niyang suddenly coughed and opened his eyes, and his dilated pupils gradually emitted a ray of clear light.

  ”Teacher!” Fyodor shouted in surprise and rushed to the side of the bed.

  Niyang, as if he didn’t hear it, suddenly stretched out his hand like a stove stick and grabbed his arm tightly.

  ”Run…”

  Fyodor was stunned for a moment, looking at him in confusion.

  ”…What?”

  Niyang took a deep breath, looked at the ceiling with a look of despair, and said word by word with all his strength.

  ”Run, run as far as you can… You… are no match for him.”

  Fyodor held his teacher’s hand tightly, leaned down and put his face close to him.

  ”Who?! Are you talking about Lasi?!”

  The driver coughed and told the young man that this was Lasi’s military camp.

  The company commander standing next to him pretended not to hear anything and looked away.

  Of course, he knew what happened in Mammoth City, and he knew everything when he saw Niyang here. If nothing unexpected happened, his superiors should be on the way here.

  But he didn’t intend to hear anything, and went straight outside to light a cigarette.

  Niyang’s eyes showed a trace of sadness, and he didn’t say any of the names he was expecting. He

  didn’t even say the names of the living.

  ”Ro… Will…”

  Janusz was once Rowell, but he was shot dead on the throne halfway through the killing spree.

  Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and forgot about the Heavenly King Army, but forgot how they came.

  So the new Rowell came, and he would show his butcher knife and kill people all over the ground.

  As for the civil war.

  When everyone thought it would come, maybe it would not come.

  In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it comes or not…

  It’s better to leave it to future generations to imagine what would happen if this civil war that didn’t start really started.

  In fact, it’s all the same.

  Fyodor stared at him blankly, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and he was dumbfounded.

  His lips opened and closed, muttering to himself.

  ”Lowell… Isn’t that a dead man…”

  He knew that the teacher had scolded General Lowell for a whole year, and even the whole book “Red Soil” was written around him, but he didn’t expect that the teacher’s hatred for him had reached such a deep bone marrow.

  He always felt that it shouldn’t be like this.

  The dregs left behind by the human coalition officer are inherently hateful, but they shouldn’t be dug up like this.

  People often say that there is hard work even if there is no merit, and who can deny that no one survived because of eating dirt?

  Besides, the teacher himself said that Sir Kabaha was not good, and it was not good to go too far.

  But when he wanted to ask more, Ni Yang had already taken his last breath.

  The most damnable Duke of Galawa reluctantly had his heart replaced after Wu Tuo died, while the person who deserved the least to die died at the last second before the night ended and the day dawned…

  Feodor cried loudly, his eyes were red, like a child who had lost his loved ones.

  The driver’s eyes were also red, and he raised his hand to cover his nose.

  He was not a soldier, but he was half a soldier before, but he didn’t expect that he would end up like this after running his legs off.

  Why?

  Why do good people have short lives! Why did

  God treat him like this!

  Hearing the noise in the room, the company commander rushed in from outside, along with Laxi who rushed back from the front line and the commander of the local division.

  This nearly 1.8-meter-tall big man didn’t cry when he was defeated, didn’t cry when he was injured, and of course didn’t cry now, but he was mad with red eyes.

  “No!!!”

  “I’m back! Your battle isn’t over yet! I won’t let you leave!”

  “Commander! He’s dead!” Looking at Laxi who rushed to the bed and wanted to grab Niyang, the division commander behind him grabbed him with red eyes and said, “Think about what to do first!”

  Finally calming down, Lacy stumbled back to the door. Suddenly, he saw the red-eyed, frightened student, and stepped forward to grab his shoulders.

  ”Your teacher is dead… Bah! Did the teacher say anything before he left?!”

  Although he had said arrogantly that he was “not afraid of death” in the first half of the night, now seeing this killer standing in front of him, Fyodor was still frightened and his legs went weak.

  This guy really crawled out of the dead.

  Every word he said seemed to be condensed with blood, and the murderous aura on his body was so strong that even the God of Hell would shudder. What

  his teacher said before might be right…

  He was soft in everything except his tough words.

  Lacy did not think he was a coward, nor did she urge him like she did his teacher, but just waited patiently.

  Finally, Fyodor, like a frightened little girl, finally squeezed out a sentence from his trembling mouth-

  ”Lowell… My teacher said that I… We are not his opponents.”

  ”He also asked us to run fast.”

  Lacy’s expression froze, and it seemed that he did not expect that his last words would be this.

  Throwing away the young man’s thin shoulders, he strode out of the room.

  At this moment, he was like a mad bull, roaring angrily at the cloudy sky and morning mist.

  ”Lowell–”

  ”Fuck you!!!”

  On the other side, Yokale of the 110,000th Squad, who had taken over Ross and other Willant prisoners, led his men to the suburbs of Xifan Port day and night.

  Those positions that they had never been able to take down were now as if they did not exist.

  They took the legion’s train to Sulak County, where the local villagers welcomed them as warmly as they did the Willant people, and offered them stewed mutton and hot tea.

  Looking at the flattering county magistrate, Yokale was in a bad mood and gave all the delicacies that he had not tasted for a long time to his subordinates.

  The guy named Ross refused to say a word to him except handing over his pistol to him.

  He knew why. The guy didn’t think he lost to him from the bottom of his heart, and he really couldn’t laugh at the other side with a thick face, asking why he didn’t fight much on the hill.

  Until dawn, a group of steel-like conquerors appeared in the wilderness.

  The rumbling sound of the tracks startled his dozing soldiers, and they crawled to find shelter, but they saw their own flags from the distant army formation.

  Oh my god, it turned out to be one of our own people!

  Yokale, who hadn’t slept all night, was also stunned for many seconds until his family members told him to be patient.

  The group went to the south of Sulak County, and a cool off-road vehicle stopped in front of them.

  Two officers got out of the car, and one of them, a captain with shiny military boots, saluted him and said with a smile.

  ”I am the captain of the 101st 10,000th Brigade of the Borneo Kingdom! This is our commander, General Grove, the ‘Iron General’!”

  Yokale stared and kept muttering.

  ”What the hell is an Iron General? I still have Silver Generals, Gold Generals, and Paint Generals…”

  Grove was also a rough man, but he didn’t get angry when he heard that. He just smiled and patted his shoulder with a smile.

  ”I’ve heard of you for a long time, brother! I’m a soldier on the southern front. You know that Gibson. He was defeated by me!”

  ”Oh, I seem to have heard of him…” Yokaler nodded in confusion. He got a few cannons from Gibson. Although they were snatched for him by the Alliance’s Skeleton Corps, his subordinates also contributed a little.

  I mean, how come this guy is gone? He was driven to the south after all this time.

  Seeing that he had heard of Gibson’s reputation, Grove laughed heartily.

  ”Yeah, it’s not easy to fight that bastard! He dared to fight us head-on at the beginning, but later he hid in his position and refused to come out. He still couldn’t stand the defeat after I wiped out his nest. He was as stubborn as a duck! By the way, where is Ishel? I’ve always wanted to meet him. Why isn’t he here?”

  Grove said this with an eager look on his face. He had been a fan of Ishel long before Operation North Wind, but unfortunately he never had the chance to meet him.

  Yokaler looked at Grove in confusion, not understanding why this guy would ask such a question.

  Didn’t you ask me to contact him?

  It turns out that you, the commander-in-chief, are also a small shrimp.

  ”He has to beware of Lassi…”

  Grove showed a disappointed expression on his face and nodded with a sense of loss.

  ”Okay… By the way, brother, how is my equipment?”

  Dust rolled in from a distance, and the steel torrent was like a storm rolling on the plain.

  Yokale stared for a long time, wishing he could engrave that scene in his eyes. It took him a long time to utter a word.

  ”Fuck, awesome…”

  …

  On the other side, on the west bank of the Tasang River, which was covered with morning mist.

  Isher sat on the battlefield until dawn, thinking about the lights on the banks of the Tasang River for a whole night.

  It’s New Year.

  It’s New Year again…

  Looking at the migrating crowd, his thoughts instantly returned to the fateful night.

  At that time, he was in a desperate situation and finally recognized his fate. He gave up becoming Bol of the Stone City, gave up the fantasy of the Silver Moon Goddess, and no longer tried to pursue those unrealistic ideals…

  It was precisely because of this that he relied on the wisdom of the Brahmans to deceive everyone, not only saving little Ruby and everyone in the church, but also letting them live to the end.

  Since then, his life has been smooth sailing. Not only did he help his old boss Anwo escape the whirlpool of Tiandu, but he also made a group of bigwigs including Abusek look at him with admiration, so that he has now sat in the position of commander-in-chief of the Northern Field Army.

  Even the Weilantes were so impressed that they printed his portrait on playing cards.

  Everything was moving in a good direction.

  Whether it was the Boro or the Weilantes.

  Recently, the communication situation had recovered a little. He had heard about the recent situation of some people who had been helped by him, and learned about some things outside from their letters.

  For example, it was said that Lady Margaret and her family were living happily in Settlement No. 1.

  The residents of Evernight Harbor were not defeated by the difficulties. They built a new home in the wilderness.

  Her husband was still building a church to fulfill his vow for the Silver Moon Goddess, but he himself had little time to pray.

  In the couple’s letter, there was also a postcard sent by little Ruby, with a cute mammoth drawn on it.

  Thinking of the little mammoth, Isher’s heart warmed up, and he suddenly wanted to have a child.

  How about starting with a date?

  He was also in his prime, so it would be no problem for him to date a female student.

  Everyone had a happy ending, but for some reason he suddenly felt a sense of panic, just like when he was hiding in a corner where Janusz couldn’t see him and shivering that day.

  But this time was different.

  This time it felt as if it was not Anwo who opened the church door, but the evil ghost named Janusz, who stared at him, little Ruby and everyone with his cunning eyes and grinned, and had thought of how to torture everyone in his mind.

  Isher suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and heard something like a hallucination –

  ’I’m back again. ‘

  ”Woo–!”

  At this time, the air defense alarm sounded on the other side of the Tasan River, and it sounded three times.

  However, for some reason, there was no explosion this time, and there was no whistling of a plane flying low.

  It seemed that it was not an alarm, but a mourning.

  Isher frowned, and in an instant many possibilities flashed through his mind, and he even let his thoughts cross the Tasang River.

  Just at this moment, his face suddenly turned pale, and he suddenly raised his head.

  ”We’ve fallen into a trap!”

  On the other side, at the train station platform of Xifan Port, Ross, carrying a suitcase, walked off the train with several officers under his command, and saw Captain Gibson, who was watched by the soldiers of the Borneo Kingdom on the left and right.

  The two soldiers were holding submachine guns, and they were PU-9 submachine guns, and their expressionless attitude was like escorting prisoners.

  It seems that the Borneo Kingdom has taken over this settlement.

  However, these Borneo people did not treat Gibson rudely, but gave him enough dignity as a loser… This was something Ross had never thought of. There

  were not only Borneo people on the train platform, but also some Willant people, but from their full spirit and upright backs, they were obviously from the Eastern Empire.

  They were moving boxes and taking away everything they could take away.

  Judging from the reactions of these soldiers, they obviously got the tacit approval of the senior leaders of the Boro people and even Abusek himself.

  Seeing Ross getting off the car, Gipson smiled haggardly and stretched out his right hand.

  ”How are you, Captain Ross?”

  The continuous failures have completely crushed the man’s confidence. Ross couldn’t help but wonder if he could still stand up.

  However, what qualifications did he have to laugh at him?

  ”Same flight?”

  Gipson nodded and smiled weakly.

  ”Yes, Saren promised to let me reunite with my family in New Xifan Port. He said that there is a need for capable Willant people like us… Although I don’t know what I can do after the war is over.”

  To be honest, he really didn’t think that the Boro people would let him go. After all, the southern front troops are mainly engaged in security warfare, and security warfare will definitely encounter times when civilians and soldiers cannot be distinguished.

  Ross was silent for a while and sighed.

  ”Let’s go home first. There will always be a place where we can be used.”

  The car that took them to the port was about to arrive.

  Before getting on the car, Gipson took a complicated look at the port behind him.

  He has no feelings for this place. After all, he was not here when this port was first built.

  ”What do you think this place will become in the future?”

  ”I don’t know, and I don’t want to know,” Ross shook his head. “There are so many of them, and they have just finished all the wars. No matter what, they can’t be worse off than before we came here.”

  Maybe the Willant people are the same.

  A Night Harbor without the Southern Legion… At least Blackwater Alley will become history.

  Thinking of this, Ross suddenly didn’t feel so desperate about the future.
