Chapter 607 The Lonely Girl Under the Moon

"That is to say, our little princess is going to do something big this time."

At the board meeting of Edes Academy, after listening to the report, Director Hyde gave such an evaluation and answer, which made people unable to tell whether he was happy or angry.

He was not the most influential board member of Edes Academy, but he was the oldest and most experienced person. His life experience was also full of ups and downs, which made people admire him.

"What do you mean?" someone beside him asked in a low voice.

"Nothing, since Heshia has made up her mind, all we can do is to support her unconditionally." Hyde used his crutches and then stood up, which made other people in the meeting look at him.

"I know that many people are still in the stage of surprise and hesitation, because this matter was very sudden and disrupted their original plans."

"However, for me, this seems to be commonplace." As he grew older, his height and figure had become short and thin, but when the old man spoke, he gave people the impression of being like a dragon sinking wood, hard and heavy, and difficult to shake.

"When I was young, I always hoped that everything would go according to my wishes and plans. But later I discovered how rare and luxurious it is for everything to go according to plan."

"There are always accidents, all kinds of sudden events, and there are always times of slackness. In the end, it is not easy to keep half of the plan's goals."

"According to everyone's original expectations, the Four-Leaf Crystal should be gradually entering a recovery period, all walks of life will be revitalized, the population will grow, and there will be peace. At the same time, Heshia will also be promoted to the Moon level and gradually move towards the Sunday level, becoming the pride and glory of our academy." "

Unfortunately, the external environment no longer allows us to have such a beautiful dream." He adjusted his throat and looked at everyone.

"Reality is not a game. We have many choices, such as standing by and watching, or choosing to join the party with a higher chance of winning."

"The reality is that from the beginning, the choices of all parties were destined, and there were no extra options."

"In the various star regions of the Western Star Region, I dare say that many of the star region's senior officials and governors did not want to join Blanche's faction at first, because normal and rational people can see how hasty and immature their early plans were, and the Federal Central Government on the other side is so powerful." "

But in the end, could they refuse to agree? When the situation reached that point, the emotions of the entire Western Star Region had been provoked. Opposing the Central Star Region and gaining independence from it has become the consensus of many residents. If they still oppose at this time, they are standing on the dam of the rising river. Once the river water breaks the dam, they will be crushed to pieces."

"They have no choice but to agree on the surface in order to maintain their own position, even if it is against their will. But at that time, even if it is superficial agreement, for the Federal Central Government, it is almost the same as declaring independence. This is not a joke, because there are really countless people running around to promote and gradually form a new consensus."

"Now, the same situation is happening in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region."

"To be honest, the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region has been able to achieve great recovery and development in just eight years. The changes brought about by Heshia are irreplaceable. Her reputation in the star region is far better than the other two singers, and her words can influence far more people than those politicians who are tired of by the people."

"If we want to oppose her and prevent the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region from being involved in the disputes within the Federation, we will have to face great internal strife and internal consumption, and many people will be at a loss and not know who to listen to. At the same time, the bad political environment will once again destroy the economy that has been finally restored."

"This will be a lose-lose situation, and both sides will be frustrated and painful, so I don't recommend taking this path."

"Since internal friction and internal fighting are not an option, our best choice is to fully join the proposals she advocates and stand completely in her camp. Anyway, she graduated from Edes Academy and has long had a close relationship with us. At this time, facing the heavy pressure from the Federal Central Committee or the Tribunal, everyone wants to get rid of this involvement to protect themselves, which is just wishful thinking."

His story slowly quieted the venue. Those present were not stupid people and soon understood the meaning of his words.

It is no longer important to discuss whether the ideas proposed by Heshia are appropriate. From the beginning, they are destined to follow the path of support until the end, with no other choice.

"When you really face this historical wave in person, you will find how helpless you are." One of the directors sighed.

"Fortunately, we can still pray, pray that our little princess can truly realize her wish and change the world."

A few days after the meeting, the top leaders of various fields and industries in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region gradually learned about the situation that day. After that, the star region fell into several days of vacillation and quarrels, and in the end, the voices supporting Heshia prevailed, and the whole tone was set.

The Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region gradually shifted to a wartime economy, and many production lines began to adjust, and many constructions began to prepare for war.

The civil war four hundred years ago left a lasting impact on this star region. Now people are just picking up their old lifestyles again, and they don't feel too awkward. Instead, the surge in job demand makes many people happy.

Although Tilan's speech is already a semi-public secret in the star region, fortunately, the top leaders still retain some calmness and rationality, and have not announced these to the outside world. All actions are also carried out silently, without public documents and announcements.

For such behavior, although some people in the Central Council are very dissatisfied, the Central Council has already quarreled at this moment, and no one cares about the changes in a small star region in the south.

Why did the quarrel suddenly become so fierce? It was because the "Rose King Court" in the west sent negotiation terms, which proposed that the Central Council needs to compensate the funds and many resources allocated and implemented by the Western Star Region in recent years, and also pay for the transfer of many patent ownership. Such conditions can be said to be harsh.

"So, they have no intention of negotiating at all!" A member of parliament pointed out the problem angrily at the meeting.

"There is such a tendency, but the question is, will they really attack us?" Other members of the parliament were also imagining what would happen if the combined fleet of the Western Star Region attacked.

"If it was just a fleet invasion, the Sixth Fleet could easily deal with it, but if Blanche herself and the Rising Sun Crown were added, it would be hard to say." Someone was worried,

"Oles needs time to be promoted and gradually get familiar with the singers who assist her. Similarly, we also need to cultivate and expand her group of followers, all of which takes time." A government official described the current situation.

"In my opinion, they are sure that we don't have a Sunday-level singer yet. If Orles grows up, she will definitely not have the same attitude as now."

"In other words, they deliberately chose this weak point to threaten us."

"It should be. It seems that the intelligence over there is good. They picked the time so well." A congressman put his elbows on the table, crossed his hands in front of him, and tapped his fingers from time to time.

"What should we do now? Reject or agree?"

"Why should we agree? Are you a fool or are you scared by the Crown of the Sun? The number of fleets we currently have is several times that of the other party. If we can agree to this, believe it or not, other star regions will dare to ask us for it."

"Just reject it directly. I don't think they dare to really attack us. In the Western Star Region, they have geographical advantages and public support, but these cannot be brought to the Central Star Region."

"Are they still planning to use the broken joint fleet to attack the Central Star Region with all their strengths?" After saying this, many congressmen present also laughed. How could this be possible?

Therefore, the Central Parliament directly rejected the armistice agreement and announced it to tell people in various star regions of the Federation how shameless and naive the 'new group' in the Western Star Region is.

But what was unexpected was that a few months later, the fleet of the Western Star Region really arrived at the star field at the edge of the Central Star Region, officially pried open the door, and announced a response to the neglect and bullying of the Central Council over the years.

This news spread throughout the Federation in an instant, and the Central Council was also arguing over it. As for some gossip from the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region, it was particularly inconspicuous. Only a few people mentioned it and said it needed to be taken seriously.

The pressure and accountability that the senior officials of the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region were worried about did not come. Seeing this, Tilan also went to the Gradually 纁 Star Region to meet the most famous and influential singer in the southern star regions, 'Luoyunsha' Masha.

...

A month later, when the shuttle that Tilan was riding drove out of the star port of the Gradually 纁 Star Region and landed on the surface of the planet, the orange-red sea of ​​trees all over the mountains on the ground was particularly magnificent.

The place where Masha met her was a hill in a sea of ​​trees. There was a beautiful forest road here, winding to the ancient style hall on the top of the mountain.

When they met, they were standing in an empty hall, surrounded by tall pillars, from where they could see the sunset in the distance.

"It's a beautiful view here, isn't it?" Masha was still wearing a golden flower crown and a veil covering her face. Today, she was wearing a long dress with red leaves and golden silk, like a fish swimming in a sea of ​​orange trees.

"It's really nice." Tilan walked forward, and then the two walked side by side to the terrace on one side of the hall.

"I heard about your speech in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region." Masha said, and she already understood why Tilan came.

"I already know the situation you described, and there's no need to elaborate."

"I'm just surprised by your choice." She placed her fingers lightly on the railing.

"This isn't a game of playing house. You can't just say some passionate words. In fact, I don't want to support you, because that would make people who have nothing to do with you pay for your impulse." She closed her eyes slightly, then turned to Tilan.

"Your idea is great, but others don't have the obligation to follow suit." The breeze blew slowly through the sea of ​​trees, like cascading waves, and a flock of birds spread their wings.

"The southern star regions are not like the western star regions. In fact, as the victor of the civil war, the economy has always been good. You said that you want everyone to suddenly oppose the existing system and support you, which is impossible."

"You don't have enough prestige and influence to call for a hundred responses, Heshia Tilan." She stated the facts in a flat voice.

"Yes." Tilan did not refute this, but continued to stand with her, looking at the undulating sea of ​​trees outside.

"If this continues, what will be the result?"

"The Federation is likely to split." Masha had also foreseen this.

"The defeat of the Central Star Region this time not only caused the loss of the Fifth Fleet, but also greatly impacted its prestige and authority, especially the appearance of the Sun-class singer in the Western Star Region ahead of time and the rise of the Sun Crown. Such a thing, in the distant and superstitious ancient times, can be said to be 'the destiny is lost'." Masha narrated calmly.

"Although the Central Council is still very strong in terms of hard power and has great power, many contradictions and cracks have long existed due to the uneven distribution of benefits over the years, and now they are gradually exposed and cracked."

"People will listen to a tyrant who keeps bringing victory, rather than a group of incompetent people who are scheming against each other, but it just so happens that the Central Council gives people the same impression at the moment."

"Look, even you gave such a rebellious speech, but you were not arrested and brought to the Tribunal, which shows that no one cares about its authority anymore."

"Losing control over people's hearts and relying entirely on military force to maintain it is extremely costly and difficult to last long." Masha shook her head.

"At that time, will many star regions in the south also form new countries like the Western Star Region?" Tilan asked Masha.

"Maybe. I think it's more likely to form a loose alliance, exempt each other from tariffs, and jointly maintain a defense fleet."

"I don't have such big ambitions, and other singers in the south don't have such a big influence." At present, she is the most influential singer in the southern star regions, but she still can't be called in control, because each star region also has its own singer core, unlike the western star region.

"So, Masha's choice is to wait for everything to happen smoothly, right?" Tilan asked again.

"Yes." The other party also gave a positive answer, and the eyes looked directly at Tilan through the veil, without any intention of wavering.

As a top-ranked Moon-level singer, Masha's talent and strength are top-notch. If it weren't for the deliberate restrictions of the Federation over the years, she would have a great chance of being promoted to the Sun-level.

After listening, Tilan was silent for a while.

It seems that it is difficult to convince the other party, because Masha does not have much affection for the Federation as a whole. She only cares about her hometown star region and the familiar people around her. This is also a true portrayal of many Federation residents.

In the past hundred years without the Sun-level Diva, not only did the Central Council lose the core of the unified will, but also the star regions of the entire Federation gradually lost the belief and spirit of unity in the past. People became more conservative and no longer paid attention to other places far away.

Alas...

This was the second time Tilan sighed, feeling the change of time. The scene of unity that she saw in the memory of the first two color-level Divas was probably becoming more and more difficult to see in the future. At this moment, she even had some kind of tiredness and thought of giving up.

However, it was only a moment, and she cheered up again.

She couldn't allow such a thing to happen. If she chose to give in this time and let the various star regions of the Federation gradually separate and become independent, it seemed to avoid fierce wars and achieve their own beauty, but in the long run, the entire human civilization would fall into the state of disputes among countries in the middle of the Fourth Era again.

This generation may still remember the Federation, but with mutual isolation and the passage of time, the human beings of various countries will eventually go further and further away, go their separate ways, and slowly become different races fighting each other.

By then, as long as the conflict breaks out, the order of the entire galaxy will collapse, repeating the past events of the Fifth Era, and the reappearance of various dark suns is only a matter of time.

Who can resist the temptation of such power, especially those countries and forces that are gradually moving towards extremes.

After clarifying her mission, Tilan opened her eyes again, and there seemed to be a flowing blue light in them, like a gem that turned and deflected the brilliance.

"I hope Masha can agree with my ideas and decisions." When saying this, Tilan held Masha's shoulders with one hand.

At that moment, Masha seemed to be separated from the real world and placed on the endless sea where the storm suddenly rose. The violent airflow brought up the biting frost, which kept scraping across her cheeks and body, making her body even colder and colder.

Is this... an illusion? Masha also fought back. She broke free from Tilan's grasp with one hand, and the veil was lifted at this moment, revealing a pair of eyes like the bright sunset.

Even though she didn't have the strength of a Sun-level singer, she was still the best among Moon-level singers. Thousands of fiery red birds flew up from the forest, like a surging meteor, passing through the evening sky, bringing with them the sound of countless flapping wings and orange-red flying feathers.

These birds circled in the sky, chirping, with a neat momentum in the noise. Then Masha merged with the glow behind her, and Tilan's feet turned into a flowing sea of ​​red flames.

It was also an illusion constructed by the mental world, overwhelming and impacting the black-haired, blue-eyed girl opposite.

"It seems that you are going to force me to convince you." Masha's eyes were like real flames, and behind her gradually emerged rotating flame feathers. These burning flame feathers formed a ring, like the prototype of a crown, emitting a scorching heat that distorted vision.

"But you really don't know how to choose the time. The evening is when I am in the best condition." Since her title "Luoyunsha" refers to the fiery clouds and red clouds in the evening.

The two stood facing each other, Masha had the home advantage, and the whole hall seemed to be shrouded in a light red golden veil, which was like a rosy glow spinning thread, sparkling and colorful.

In response, Tilan just shook her head slightly and said nothing.

Yes, words are so weak. If everything can be convinced by words, then this world is really beautiful.

But there will be a day when words will run out, and there will be a day when contradictions can no longer be resolved by words. She can't watch everything slide into the abyss, and it is destined that the conflict between the two cannot be resolved by talking.

"Masha, you are not wrong, I am wrong." The girl's voice is very calm.

"It is my arrogance that always thinks that everything can turn around, which has led to the development of things to this point. If I can overcome my inner weakness and stand up earlier, nothing will come to this."

A truly wise person will solve things in the budding stage. At this time, she understands how wise the eternal cradle wings are, and how many problems have been solved seemingly gently and without leaving any traces.

It's a pity that she was born too late, and she didn't catch up with that great era, and she couldn't make up for the emptiness of the Federation in the past hundred years. The current Federation is already terminally ill, and corruption, civil strife, separation, and injustice have penetrated into the bone marrow. It's no wonder that Masha and others have no feelings for the Federation as a whole.

"But even so, I still want to pull this gradually sinking country out of the abyss, because it once held the expectations and hopes of countless people. It was it that broke through the darkness of the Fifth Era and brought light to this world."

As he spoke, a full moon filled with silver light slowly rose in this fiery red world. Under the light of the full moon that covered the sky, the entire forest and the hall seemed small. The cold moonlight extinguished all the flames, and everything was shrouded in the peaceful light silver halo.

The girl under the moon looked particularly small, as if she would disappear in a gust of wind. Her originally jet-black long hair also turned silver like snow like the moonlight, like a cold long rock that has stood for ten thousand years.

"I will not compromise, even if it is stained with blood."
