…
"Ms. Xier, we have roughly surveyed Aegora's territory, and everyone except those in the central area has disappeared.
In addition, Mr. Luo Bo also mobilized the power of the Black Yao Chamber of Commerce. Not only that, not long ago, a large number of civilians disappeared on the border between my territory and Pama's.
Mr. Luo Bo has arranged to gather as many civilians as possible from Sapphire Territory, and some are already seeking refuge in Black Diamond Territory.
Xier pressed her temple and asked:
"Do you have a rough idea of the total population of the entire Sapphire?"
Mare replied:
"Sixty thousand people..."
Xier's face was extremely ugly at this time, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"I remember you said your territory is relatively small, with a population of only about 20,000 people...
At least 40,000 civilians have been sacrificed by Vickers!"
At this time, Xier was on the verge of rage. Forty thousand lives were sacrificed by Vickers.
Xier now really wants to ask Vickers what he regards human life as?
"Mare, in the upcoming battle at Parma...we are likely to suffer casualties...
I may not be able to take all of you...
You must understand what I mean...
So, if you want to quit, just leave as soon as possible."
Xier looked at Mare and Palmer, both of whom had calm expressions.
Mare fiddled with his nails and spoke softly:
"Pama, it seems we are being underestimated by Miss Xier."
Although Palmer still looked weak, his eyes were indeed quite determined at this moment. He looked at Xier and asked:
"Miss Seele, are you looking down on us? Although Mare and I aren't as great as the red giants that Miss Seele mentioned, please don't underestimate us, Miss Seele. We are true nobles.
Well, I'll go and comfort the girls under my command. After all, I'm afraid I won't see them tomorrow."
After saying this, Palma left.
Mare watched Palma leave without looking back and continued speaking:
"Ms. Xier, I still remember the red giants you mentioned at that time. To be honest, we didn't believe that there really was such a great group of people in the world.
Speak up for ordinary people and fight for ordinary people.
But this time, Palma and I saw people who fought purely for their ideals.
Different from me and Palmer, and even different from the purity of Miss Jeanne d'Arc."
Mare stood up at this time, looked at Xier with a serious face and said:
“I really like what Miss Xier said, long live the people.
However, we can't do this purely out of pure desire. But Miss Xier, please don't underestimate our love and awareness for our territory."
Xier looked at Mare and didn't know what to say for a moment.
She was still too naive. There would be no immortality in war. Since war was inevitable, why should we undermine the morale of these people and let them flee like cowards?
Xier walked to Mare's side, patted his shoulder and said, "
"Please don't die, I'm still waiting for you to help me manage the Sapphire Territory."
Mare smiled and said:
"nature."
Xier walked out of the main tent and found that there was a group of more people outside.
Most of these people are nuns and priests, and of course there are also guardian knights wearing pure white armor.
After seeing all this, Xier understood that reinforcements from the Holy See had arrived.
Xier walked to a high platform, looked at the people below and said:
"Everyone!"
At this time, everyone in the station was looking towards Xier.
“Do you know why we are gathered here?
What are you all here for? To seize territory? To conquer other nobles? Or something else?
I know that everyone has a different answer in their mind, but there is one answer that I believe everyone has in common.
Everyone wants to protect the Sapphire County, because you know that the monsters of Vickers don’t care who you are, they will just eat each of you equally.
So everyone, you are not only protecting the Sapphire Territory, you are also protecting the families you still care about and everything you care about here.
So everyone, I am honored to fight with you and face the dangers of tomorrow together!
Vickers has already sacrificed forty thousand men, but I know this damned greedy hound won't stop there.
So we must stop them this time!
Many of us may not return from this battle, including you and me. However, I hope that no matter who returns alive, we will all remember our sacrifices and our battle.
Although it may be a little inappropriate, I still want to say:
Long live the people! "
At this moment, whether it was Mare's people or Parma's people, including the people from the Holy See invited by Joan of Arc, they all looked at Seele in disbelief, and their hearts were extremely fanatical.
Long live the people?!
At this time, an old man in red and white clothes came to Jeanne and asked:
"Jeanne, does your friend also believe in the God of Light?"
Joan of Arc shook her head and replied:
"No, his faith is greater than yours and mine. He believes in—
Red Giant."
"Red Giant... Red Giant..."
The old man kept repeating this sentence.
Everyone tonight is immersed in the words "Long live the people".
In the entire Kingdom of Grid, no, perhaps in the entire world, there is not even one person who would say something like "Long live the people."
Even the noble elves who love peace and respect nature cannot do this.
The next day, early morning, at dawn.
Everyone stood at the border of Vickers with serious faces. This was a battle of life and death for the entire Sapphire Territory.
If we win, Sapphire County will remain the same as before.
Lost, no, they will not lose, cannot lose, and will not lose!
…
Inside the Vickers underground laboratory——
Vickers was very excited as he looked at the strange ball that was constantly jumping.
"It's almost there, almost there! Three more hours! As long as we can get through these three hours, everything will be done!
Then! Then the whole world will see your beauty! See your nobility! See everything about you! "
At this time, Vickers was missing an arm and a pair of legs, and half of his face had become mechanical. All the missing organs had been replaced by machines.
As for where these limbs went?
Is there any need to ask? These limbs have already merged with the strange sphere long ago. To be honest, if it weren't for hindering Xier and her group, Vickers might have sacrificed himself to the strange sphere long ago.
Sacrificed to—the tide.
