Bulwark of Light

Chapter 546 Breaking Dawn
Central City, Queen's Castle.

Dawn is approaching, outside the attic of the castle, the night has not yet broken, it still looks quiet, with a soft wind blowing, there are faint fluorescent lights flying out from the grass, bringing light earlier than the dawn.

These fluorescent lights are not fireflies, but pure, transparent shards of light.

The legion commander sat in the hall of the castle, feeling the warm wind blowing on his face, drinking tea by himself, and waiting patiently.

She had just received a brief notice that the castle welcomed a distinguished visitor.

The shards of light in the distance moved with the wind, and gradually converged towards where she was.

There was faint conversation and laughter.

It can be heard that one of them is the voice of Grand Duke Zhuxue: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Miss Meng is even more beautiful than before."

And another...

The voice is soft, just like the warm wind in the hall.

"Mr. Zhuxue's praise."

The head of the legion slowly raised his head, and the two figures walking together slowly stepped into her line of sight, Zhu Xue cast a vague glance, and immediately saluted, stopped in front of the hall, and smiled: "Goddess Meng, Zhu Xue Xue still has official business, so I will send it here tonight."

"You are welcome, sir."

There is only one Goddess Meng in this world.

Xizhou, Mengxizhou.

The hall is not dark at all, but because of the arrival of this graceful figure, it is even brighter, and the light fragments in all directions gather from a distance like a stream... These are the "light" contained in the extraordinary source quality, which sensed the master's Called by him, so he flew here.

Meng Xizhou bowed to the army commander with a respectful expression.

Her etiquette is as impeccable as those of the ancient families in Nagano.

Who would hate such a woman?
Bright, magnanimous, majestic, warm... It seems that all the perfect qualities in this world are combined with her.

The word goddess.

Well deserved.

Of course, people in the world will not hate such a perfect character, but it is also difficult for them to "like" from the bottom of their hearts. Too hot light is destined to hang on the zenith, just like the sun, everyone can see it when they look up. But if the distance is a little closer, his eyes will be blinded and his hands will be scalded, and if he is any closer, he will be burned until there is no ashes left.

People or things that are too perfect can only be appreciated from a distance.

"Goddess Meng."

The eyebrows of the regiment commander gradually relaxed. She gently breathed in the bright breath in the wind, and felt that the originally gloomy spirit had become much more relieved.

"Goddess, I'm ashamed to take it...Master Legion Commander, just call me Xiaomeng."

Meng Xizhou could only smile helplessly.

This is not a humble statement. All along, she really didn't want the title of Goddess. However, there are too many believers in the Bright City, so they all shouted like this, so it spread throughout the five continents.

"I came here today not to disturb His Majesty."

The queen is on the second floor.

Meng Xizhou knew that at this moment, he was only tens of meters away from the great empress.

As long as you go to the attic and walk a little distance, you can "see".

"Because of the engagement... I want to come here in person to apologize to His Majesty." Meng Xizhou said seriously, "I have absolutely no other intention for this trip..."

The queen lived in the attic for a long time.

This matter has attracted the attention of many gods from other continents... At this juncture, if the goddess came to see her, even if she stated in advance that she had no other intentions, she would not believe it.

The head of the legion remained calm, and said calmly: "Ms. Meng should know that your majesty does not see outsiders on weekdays... Even if you have a noble status, if you want to see me, you need to make an appointment in advance. If you come to the door like this today, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you." Wish."

"I... came out without telling Guangming City."

Without any choice.

Meng Xizhou sighed lightly.

She said sincerely: "Since I repented of my marriage, I have been confined in the City of Light... I don't know how long I can keep this trip from over there. Maybe after tonight, I will set off and return."

"I'm really sorry."

The head of the army shook his head, "If you just apologize, then you don't need to go upstairs... What's more, you are traveling privately this time, and you arrived in Beizhou. Your words and deeds cannot represent Guangming City."

Meng Xizhou was silent for a second.

"...I was the one who was abrupt."

She saluted, "It's okay if you can't meet His Majesty. Lord Ziyu, I heard that my 'fiancé' is in Central City right now, I want to see him..."

The legion commander laughed.

"What a coincidence."

She raised her head, pointed to Tie Qiong in the distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and said softly, "If you had come half a day earlier, you might still have a chance, but at this moment... I think Lin Lin has left Beizhou, although it is almost At dawn, look at the shining stars above the sky, he should be on one of them."

"Are you late..."

Meng Xizhou's eyes showed regret: "Then my brother?"

"It's really unfortunate that your elder brother with the hereditary title of Zhenyue is also on it."

The head of the legion said lightly: "Also, my lord goddess, I need to remind you that although Guangming City has denied the repentance of the marriage, everyone in the Central City knows what you think, and everyone in the Central City knows... Tonight there are only you and me, Put away the words 'fiancé'."

……

……

The "restart mission" planned by Beizhou for a long time has used a total of fifteen airships. These airships are not large. There are a total of fourteen teams, and each team has its own airship.

And leading these teams is the "command boat" where Osmond sits.

The well-known Eye of the Third Legion and his adjutant will simultaneously link fourteen captains in the "spiritual network" that has been built in the disaster of the Doru River to conduct overall united front command.

For this "restart mission", the biggest goal that the fourteen captains need to accomplish is to find the [door] in the disaster!
In addition, due to the heavy losses after the crusade mission, the interior of the disaster environment has not yet been clearly explored. They need to lay out as much [deep sea] hardware equipment as possible to maintain the stability of the spiritual network.

The danger of disaster has been eliminated.

What they need to do is to "open up wasteland"!
At this moment, on the airship where Zhong Yuan was, there were many discussions.

"The captain has been in the gravity room for six hours, eleven times the gravity... This is not something normal people can bear."

In Zhong Yuan's team, besides Yuan Yuan, there are six other players in total.

These extraordinary people are the elites selected through the meeting of generals. Their physical fitness and natural aptitude are all very good. Their age is not much different from Zhong Yuan, but their strength...is quite a bit worse.

"The next step is to reach the Duolu River. After such hard training, can the captain's physical strength hold up?"

These players are elite!

Before arriving in the central city, each of them claimed to be a "practice maniac". It was only after seeing Zhong Yuan that they realized that they were far from a real genius!

Yuan Yuan held his knife in his arms, looked out the window at the clouds and the rising dawn, and said calmly: "Don't worry... If he will be affected by this level of training, how can he be called 'Captain'?"

In this team, he is the one who is most familiar with Zhong Yuan.

After all, he paused.

"For Assault-type Transcendents, this can only be regarded as a warm-up. What's the point of sweating in the gravity room?"

Yuan Yuan looked to the side, and said with some emotion in his voice, "Those like Mr. Gu are the real 'crazy people'."

Several team members looked at each other in blank dismay.

The dull sound of sandbags came from the gravity room from time to time, which was so eye-catching that they even forgot the quietest figure in the corner for a moment.

In this restart mission, the person who enjoys the highest privilege!
Gu Shen!

Due to Her Majesty's permission, Gu Shen is not under anyone's command and does not need to listen to anyone's opinions...just set off with the airship and be responsible for landing and arriving at the Doru River.

So during the intensive training and special training during these days, he never showed up.

In the training ground, there were quite a few superhumans gearing up for the challenge, wanting to compete with this "Dongzhou S-class"... They had a good plan, but it was a pity that they hadn't seen Gu Shen until the beginning of the mission. figure.

Gu Shen didn't leave his room at all!
All of a sudden, news spread in the training ground, and most people thought it was Gu Shen's cowardice, and he deliberately stayed behind closed doors... After all, Grand Duke Zhenyue, who also has exclusive privileges, brings his team members with him every day , Come to the training ground and take a turn.

It is clear at a glance which is the hunter and which is the prey.

It's just... thinking about it carefully, this is a wise move.

Gu Shen came all the way from Dongzhou, and there is only a lonely family. Could it be possible that he has to confront Grand Duke Zhenyue head-on?
So the mission begins.

Gu Shen directly boarded Zhong Yuan's airship.

He enjoys privileges, which means that he will be despised... In the past few days, the rumors that he is afraid of Zhenyue have spread all over the world, and he has been despised. If he walks with other unfamiliar people, it is inevitable It will cause unnecessary trouble.

He and Zhong Yuan have dealt with each other before, and in this team, there is also an old acquaintance Yuan Yuan. Gu Shen also read the information about the remaining team members in advance. During the march, you will not come to trouble yourself.

So after boarding the airship, he began to practice spiritually with peace of mind, to attack the unbreakable "golden hoop".

As the airship sails, advance to the far sky.

From time to time, there was an urgent spiritual rhythm coming from the pendant.

On the way to the Doru River... it felt uneasy...

Explain that this mission is really dangerous.

Gu Shen was naturally aware of it, but he completely ignored the rhythm coming from the pendant at this moment.

Duolu River... He was going anyway, no matter how disturbed this pendant was, it could only go with him.

……

……

on the command boat.

Osmond, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, suddenly said, "Do you feel that the past few days have been a little too quiet..."

[Deep Sea] Driving the command boat.

Lin Lin has nothing to do at the moment, he is concentrating on spiritual practice, but the efficiency is not high.

This is a rare large-scale mission in Beizhou. Every member of the restart team who was selected is feeling anxious at the moment. As the "commander" who coordinates the overall situation, Lin Lin seems to be calm, but his actual mood is full of turmoil.

For some reason, he felt that a big wave was about to rise in the lake of his heart.

"Your Excellency, why did you say that?"

Since he had nothing to do and couldn't concentrate on spiritual practice, Lin Lin put aside those trivial thoughts and chatted with Osmond.

"Although I'm old and don't get involved in young people's affairs, I've heard a lot of those rumors recently." Osmond narrowed his eyes and said with a meaningful smile: "Your friend surnamed Gu , the reputation was good before, but now it’s not so good... Beizhou people don’t like deserters, even if they lose, they should fight with dignity.”

Lin Lin shook his head: "Your Excellency's words are wrong."

Osmond raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"If I were him, I wouldn't go out to fight."

Lin Lin sat upright, and when it came to this matter, his impetuous state of mind slowly sank: "For such a major event as restarting the mission, Zhenyue is allowed to abuse his personal power... directly appoint an entire team? What if It’s fine if they’re all conquerors from the border of Beizhou, he also brought followers from Guangming City!”

"Private rights... Every captain has private rights, but Zhenyue is the most greedy and willing." Osmond chuckled softly: "He even brought the help of Guangming City, how could Central City Rejecting such a generous man?"

"Yeah, Central City has always liked to pick up cheap things. No matter how big or small they are, they always pick them up when they see them. But if they act like this, they will often pick sesame seeds and lose watermelons."

Lin Lin sarcastically sarcastically, and then said: "Zhenyue leads such an elite team, if he meets Gu Shen, is it really as simple as 'comparison'? Once we meet, the situation will change Well, Zhenyue was able to put aside his face and sneak attack at the dinner party before, if they meet at the training ground this time, he will definitely take the initiative to fight, and it is bound to make Gu Shen suffer a big loss. an insignificant effect."

Osmond was a little surprised, and asked: "I don't understand young people nowadays... After all, he is the heir to the name of Zhenyue. Is it true that Meng Xiao is so ignorant of martial arts, and immediately fights after meeting? Also, Feng Is the bad rating now just an insignificant effect?"

"Never mind, Lord Osmond, times have changed."

Lin Lin said indifferently: "As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, what is it if you don't talk about martial arts? Zhenyue is not the only one who doesn't talk about martial arts. There are also many people who don't care about reputation..."

Osmond's eyes were a bit complicated.

Back then... when he and his predecessor Zhenyue fought bloody battles, they gave each other their backs. They were just heirs of the old man, but their personalities were different from what he expected.

"Based on what you're saying, it's the best policy for Gu Shen to avoid seeing you."

Osmond said: "You just said that there are many people who don't care about public opinion. Among the legions, I have seen many loyal people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for Beizhou..."

"Your Excellency, times have truly changed."

Lin Lin didn't mean to be sarcastic, he spoke very seriously, and at the same time looked at the central control screen expressionlessly, the command boat was about to arrive at the final destination, "You know, where are the places where people who care about reputation gather the most ?"

"It's the grave."

Osmond was taken aback.

"Your comrades-in-arms in the past, comrades-in-arms of previous years... many have died in battle. They gained fame but lost their sunshine forever." Lin Lin said softly: "As far as I know, those extraordinary people outside Beizhou are more powerful than others." To be famous, you want to live even more. On the battlefield, you control everything and plan everything, and you must take 'people's hearts' into account, because nowadays, losing reputation...is not a big deal."
