Bulwark of Light

2022-09-03

Knife repairers, follow your heart.

So this guy… is just a gut feeling?

Gu Shen kept silent about everything Yuan Yuan said.

At this moment, his response is incorrect, so he simply does not respond.

Yuan Yuan was just laughed and didn’t continue to say anything. After all, his original intention was not to find out the secrets that Gu Shen was hiding.

“Captain … what to do next?”

Li Chen spoke in the command channel.

All the squad members, standing on a high ground far from the labyrinth, watched the collapse of the Snow Mountain canyon with complex expressions… Investigating Legion in order to explore this labyrinth, it took more than ten years of work. “Heart blood” paid a huge price.

I thought that I had seen a ray of light.

But now, Snow Mountain just collapsed.

So, is the maze mission at this time a success or a failure?

Yuan Yuan looked at the collapsed Snow Mountain and said nothing for a long time.

“From now on, there will be no labyrinth…”

Su He, who has always been silent, spoke now, turned around and said softly, “Let’s go back. Gubao is still waiting for us.”

Yuan Yuan’s mood was also quite complicated at this time.

Every warrior who joins the investigation of Legion is willing to give his life because they are fighting for the future of mankind… No one wants to understand the mystery of the labyrinth more than him.

Just.

It is the greatest luck to be able to survive.

“Return.”

Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and said: “Old Su is right, there is still waiting for us at Kubao… Our mission is not yet complete. It’s over, go back to the fortress, hand in the case file, and by the way… reveal the truth of the last mission.”

The already heavy atmosphere of the team became even lower.

At the end of the maze, they saw Old Yao’s body and the bodies of a group of explorers.

If there is no knife mark on the source armor, then Hong Zhong is still a hero, a hero that every investigation Legion in Beizhou must remember in their hearts.

Today’s Kubao may be holding a funeral for this “hero”.

“The return journey should not be delayed.”

Gu Shen suggested softly: “We need to give the victims a truth…”

apart from this, There is one more important thing.

Hong Zhong is dead, and the “Corrosive Power” of the Golden Spike Flower still remains in his Essence Divine Sea. At this moment, it is very likely that it has begun to spread.

Gu Shen doesn’t know what the consequences of the snake’s psychotoxin will be.

But what he knew was that if he hurried back to the fort one day earlier, the loss of Kubao would be greatly reduced!

“en. ”

Yuan Yuan slowly nodded, he checked the remaining energy of the source armor, said solemnly: “All members, the mission of leaving the fortress has ended, check the energy, add Great combustion power… to advance towards the fortress of Kubao!”

…

…

“Adjutant, these few days…in the fortress cemetery , something doesn’t seem right.”

Zou Hai just finished arranging the relevant deployment of the giant wall combat unit.

Two sentries came to report this.

Zou Hai frowned: “What’s wrong with the fortress cemetery?”

“The night before yesterday, when Old Zhou and I were patrolling, we found a ‘silhouette’ in the cemetery… …” The sentinel’s voice was low and lacking confidence: “But after a careful inspection, I found nothing specific.”

“At that time, I just thought I was blinded.” He bit Gritting his teeth, “But last night on patrol, the shadow in the cemetery cemetery appeared again! This time, not only me, Old Zhou also saw it!”

Zou Haishook the head.

In the past few days, because of the early warning of the “source tide” outside the giant wall.

The entire Gubao fortress has entered a state of level 1 combat readiness!

He was mentally and physically exhausted, so he had no time for such trivial matters… At first, he wanted to make the two sentries retire quickly, but suddenly a premonition flashed across his heart.

Zou Hai asked, “Where is the specific location of the shadow, can you see it clearly?”

The expressions of the two sentinels became joyful.

I thought that I would be scolded by the adjutant for this report…

didn’t expect, and the adults also took this matter seriously.

“I remember very clearly, it’s over the tombstone that was dug up not long ago.”

Old Zhou added: “The homecoming hero of the labyrinth mission, Hong Zhong. “

“I see… tonight you patrol as usual, you don’t need to go to the cemetery anymore.” Zou Hai looked thoughtful and waved the screen to retreat the two sentries.

He narrowed his eyes, laughed in a self-deprecating tone.

“Homecoming Heroes…”

The Kubao study at the moment is rare and lively.

A thin, blond youth in a vest was drinking tea in the study. He was sitting in the guest seat, but his feet were on the long table of the owner of the study.

Lin Lin looked calm, watching this “uninvited guest”.

He didn’t get angry, but when the latter put down the teacup, he slowly poured a new one for him.

“Captain Zhongyuan, there are no guests in Kubao. But if it’s you, Kubao can make an exception to entertain.” Lin Lin rarely spoke politely. He returned to his chair, crossed his hands, and said with a smile: “I hope you come to the study and be a guest obediently and honestly…don’t say things that the guests shouldn’t say, okay?”

I’m afraid few people will think of it.

“renowned” Investigation Legion Second Team Captain Nakahara, is a man less than 1.7 meters tall.

Although he is handsome, he also has blonde hair.

But with such a height, it is really difficult for people to look up on a physical level.

It is rumored that his sword technique is very accomplished, and he was a genius who was recognized by the General ten years ago, but he stayed for too long before the huge “title”, until As of now, he has not received the “confession” granted by the Federation.

Some people also say that Zhongyuan’s strength is enough to compete with the “title”.

As for “confessing” this thing, it’s not that important to Captain investigating Legion.

But, these are just rumors after all.

In the entire investigation Legion, the only person who knows Nakahara’s true strength should be “Corps Head”, and the Captain who often competes with him and is recognized as stronger than him.

“If you sincerely regard me as a friend, then I will be a guest today.”

The space in the study is already a little tight.

The two top powerhouses in the title environment looked at each other, and there was a vague sense of the birth and friction of the field.

The vicious Labrador dog squatting beside Lin Lin, with all its hair standing on end, kicking on the ground with all four hooves, is ready for battle.

“Stop…”

Lin Lin was a little helpless.

Zhongyuan and him are friends who have been friends for many years. When he first entered the fort, the troops under General White Lizard had conducted several armed exercises with the fort.

During the exercise, two young talents stood out.

One, it’s him.

The other is Nakahara.

The two young geniuses have known each other since then, and have kept in touch for a long time… Beizhou has stricter control over the [Deep Sea] authority of lower-level soldiers. At that time, Zhongyuan would write a letter every week. , send it to Kubao, and Lin Lin will also prepare to reply, but the content of these two young official’s letters is not hypocritical.

Nakahara will show off which geniuses in the Great General Battalion of White Lizards he has defeated.

Lin Lin will list his recent achievements.

This is not an exchange letter.

This is more like… a gauntlet of strive for high and low.

After that day, two talented youngsters separated by thousands of miles, unanimously exerted their strength, and finally Zhongyuan became the most dazzling young star under the command of White Lizard. After the request of Corps Head, he was sent to investigate Legion. .

And Lin Lin is the Guardian who became the Fortress of Kubao.

And the youngest brigadier general in Beizhou.

The two did not wear epaulets, but their shoulders were full of honor.

“I should congratulate you for successfully conquering the ‘Duolu River disaster’.” Lin Lin said solemnly: “This is probably the most worthy of showing off the large-scale victory in Beizhou this year.”

It is said that it is a super-large disaster that is not inferior to the “Fortress of the Moon City”.

Of course… the disaster situation of the Dolu River can only be compared with the “Moon-covered City” that has not grown.

General shot, coupled with the apostle of the Queen Your Majesty, apart from this, and elites from all continents, the breakthrough was difficult, and finally it was removed.

“You should congratulate the White Lizard General and Corps Head, they are the two of them who contributed the most.”

Zhongyuan indifferently said: “My elite team, at best, is only in the battle of Doru River. A piece of chess, the two of them are planning strategies, a chess player who can win a thousand miles.”

“No matter how powerful a chess player is, he also needs a sharp piece.” Lin Lin said with a slight smile : “Without an elite team, no matter how strong the General and Corps Head are, they can’t attack the city alone…”

This is a pertinent truth.

The “elite team” under Nakahara’s hands was a very important part of the forces in the Dolu River disaster.

This is indeed an era when “personal martial power” decides the size of the right to speak.

divine throne aloof and remote.

The authority of the top seat is above all else.

Because the ones in the top seats do have the terrifying strength to clear millions of obstacles by the strength of oneself.

It’s just this kind of magnificent power, and there are only a few people in the entire five continents.

They are invincible, they are on top.

But there is only one of them.

The daily order of the five continents collapses, more and more, and it is already countless… Even if every Divine Throne’s subordinates have [Apostles] constantly running around for this, they cannot take care of them comprehensively.

The scales in this world are fair. One end of the scales is sentient beings, and the other end is “God”.

All beings need “God”.

Similarly…God needs all beings.

“Since you are congratulating sincerely, why don’t you take the corpse of ‘Hong Zhong’ as a gift.” Zhong Yuan lowered his eyes and said softly, “This is the old man of the second team, I have to take him away. “…”

Lin Lin sighed softly.

“Otherwise?”

“Otherwise… a lot of people will be chilled.” Zhong Yuan raised his head and stared at his old friend.

Investigate Legion’s transcenders, giving their all.

However, what they can get is very little.

The most powerful of these is the eloquent promise of Lord Corps Head——

【“If a guest dies in a foreign land, he will surely get a rich burial!”]

Next The explorers who set off will do their best to bring back the corpse of “Yingjie”, and their souls will float in the sky above Beizhou, staring at this land, those young people who are sheltered by themselves, freely and independently grow up.

“Their fleshy body may decay.”

“But the spirit will last forever.”

Lin Lin suddenly chanted in a low voice, this is the queen Your Majesty’s famous words, On the last ceremony of the fortress frontier, the Queen Your Majesty paid tribute to the Legion heroes who died fighting for the Northern Continent.

He paused and said, “If Hong Zhong is really a hero, then Kubao will give you back everything you want…but so far, I can’t admit that in the Beizhou Forum, there is a lot of respect for him. The ‘hero’ title.”

Nakahara picked frowned.

Not long ago, Yuan Yuan, Vice Captain of the second team, arrived at the Fortress of Kubao… He has already heard all about it.

Because of the arrangement of the Corps Head adults.

The second team took out nearly half of the elite force to be responsible for a new round of maze tasks.

After Yuan Yuan arrived, he had a direct conflict with Lin Lin over the “hero” issue!

“I don’t want to argue with you about my Vice Captain…but about Hong Zhong’s ‘hero’ title…” Zhongyuan sighed and said slowly: “If you want To erase his glory, you’d better give me a convincing reason.”

“Sorry. I don’t.”

Lin Lin shook the head.

He pointed to his head earnestly and said, “I just feel that something is wrong.”

It was a hunch.

After dating for many years, Lin Lin has nothing to hide. He has mentioned it to Zhongyuan more than once, and his premonition is very keen.

Those beautiful golden eyes, the color in the depths of the pupils, obviously darkened.

Nakahara lowered his legs on the table.

He sat upright, opened his mouth again, and slowly confirmed: “So…you detained ‘Hong Zhong’ just because of your hunch and told you that you should do it.”

Lin Lin nodded: “en.”

“Is your hunch accurate?”

Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes, holding a tea cup, and lowered his head to blow the heat.

The tea mist rose up.

I couldn’t see what kind of complicated expression was flashing in his golden eyes.

Lin Lin sighed again, he knew that this reason was really hard to accept.

Foreboding.

The most illusory thing in the world is premonition.

“Very accurate.”

Lin Lin looked at his old friend seriously, “After so many years, I have never made a mistake.”

Silence.

After a brief silence.

Zhongyuan suddenly poured out the hot tea in his hand.

The moment before the hot tea is spilled.

Lin Lin, who was sitting on the side of the long table, gently pushed the edge of the desk, the wheel of his seat rubbed against the ground, and quickly shifted to one side, and the hot tea was spilled and wiped. He moved the swivel seat and sprinkled it out the window…

The two actions happened almost at the same time.

After Lin Lin and the seat rotated for a week, what they saw was a freeze-frame image with a hidden meaning of coldness-

Zhongyuan, who was sitting upright, like a cheetah, jumped up. From the long table, he pulled out the dagger on his waist, and the tip of the dagger touched the position between Lin Lin’s eyebrows after the move.

“So…is your hunch really accurate? Apart from splashing tea, did you also guess that I would use a knife?”

Nakahara spoke calmly.

Lin Lin’s expression remained unchanged.

“Of course.”

He indifferently said: “I avoided the tea, just because I didn’t want to get my clothes dirty, I didn’t avoid you this blade, because…you wouldn’t Really stab. I know you too well, you are a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted guy. The purpose of your trip to Kubao is to use pressure to complete the task of bringing Hong Zhong back, not to use martial power to solve the problem. Question. Of course, if you really want to make a knife, you can try it… Give it a try and see if I can dodge at this distance. “

Nakahara fell silent.

He put away his dagger and sat back in his seat silently.

The two looked at each other.

Lin Lin felt a little guilty: “Zhong Yuan…”

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Yuan shot again.

There was also a cup of tea on the table, which was Lin Lin’s own tea.

Lin Lin’s pupils contracted slightly…

“oh la la”.

Zhongyuan grabbed the tea like lightning and poured it out.

p>

This time.

Lin Lin, who was sitting on the seat, did not hide, he was soaked all over.

Zhongyuan used this kind of neat, simple and rude He interrupted what Lin Lin was about to say.

Immediately after, he walked out of the study without stopping.

And Zou Hai, who was standing outside the study door, had an expression on his face. He was stunned.

He watched the second team Captain, who was small but with amazing aura, walk out of the study gloomily.

In the study, he was sitting with a complicated expression and his chest was soaked. Brigadier General.
