the next day.
The military garrison in Victor City was bustling with activity for the first time; it was no exaggeration to say it was a throng of visitors.
Not only were there soldiers from the Dragon Kingdom and the Heistan Empire hurrying back and forth, but also the people of Victor City who came to express their gratitude.
Two figures, one tall and one short, stood at the very front.
The woman's eyes were red-rimmed: "Thank you so much, thank you so much."
The little girl, with her large, clear eyes, looked at the soldiers in front of the gate with eyes that seemed to be shining, even though her clothes were faded from washing. "Thank you... thank you, soldier brothers!"
You Huo stood behind, staring at the mother and daughter for a long time before turning away.
Fa Ge, the only one among the four university support troops who was relatively close to You Huo, looked at him leaving with great curiosity.
He's a straightforward person, so he asked directly, "You seem to have something to say."
“My junior classmate died saving this little girl.” You Huo could be said to have witnessed the whole thing, but he never expected that Qiu Shaoqing would give up his life to save the little girl at the last moment, so he didn’t have time to save her. “I originally wanted to tell her the truth, but now, never mind.”
Let them believe that the person who saved them is still alive.
Young, passionate hearts may need some protection.
Fago glanced at him sideways and said, "You've changed."
"What did you say?"
Fago still had a cold expression, but his words didn't sound icy: "You've become more likable than before."
You choked for a moment and didn't say anything.
——
The war near the abyss could not possibly end after this one battle.
Or rather, they have much more to do than just fight wars.
For example, Cheng Ruohai needs to go and cause trouble for that Bastian first—she has already woken up from her coma.
It was because of this person's unreliable intelligence that the situation in the north of the city was extremely bad at the beginning, and the reconnaissance troops that were sent out almost all died or were injured.
Information errors in war almost always lead to extremely serious consequences.
How dare Bastian?!
The anger in Cheng Ruohai's heart was beyond words.
Those soldiers who sacrificed their lives were all her own men.
How could she not be heartbroken?
Fortunately, things are looking good in the east of the city... well... I can only say that sending Jiang Wuyuan alone was definitely the right decision.
But it was also risky, fortunately nothing bad happened.
It can be said that if the surprise attack by the beast tide from the east of the city had actually come, the difficulty of winning the battle would have increased significantly.
Jiang Wuyuan's actions this time have definitely reached the level of a second-class military merit.
"I'll apply for one for that kid when I get back," Cheng Ruohai thought happily and gratified.
Oh, I heard that after she was knocked unconscious, Nian Zhizun rushed to her rescue.
Or should we just apply for military merit directly from Nian Zhizun?
Forget it, Nian Zhizun doesn't care about that. She'll just follow the military's procedures.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll get this second-class military merit.
——
Late at night, east of Victor City.
Jiang Wuyuan was waiting alone for Nian Qingfeng to arrive.
He arrived here as the sun was setting.
Perhaps because the battle had just ended yesterday, the clouds had dispersed, and the long-awaited sunshine melted away a significant portion of the thick snow.
After the moonlight shines down, the crystal-clear water reflects the bright crescent moon, creating a unique and beautiful scene.
Nian Qingfeng didn't keep him waiting too long.
"Students from the four universities should return to their home countries in a couple of days."
Jiang Wuyuan was already used to Nian Qingfeng suddenly appearing behind him.
He calmly turned around and bowed, saying, "Master."
"Hmm." Nian Qingfeng chuckled as she looked at him. "Aren't you going to ask me why?"
Jiang Wuyuan paused for a moment, then asked from the bottom of his heart, "Why?"
“The situation on the Federation side has stabilized, and the support troops from the Dragon Kingdom have withdrawn.” Nian Qingfeng smiled. “When they return home to recuperate, the Dragon Kingdom’s currently idle troops will be able to support the Heistan Empire.”
Besides, you're only a freshman; you should experience campus life more.
Jiang Wuyuan nodded, having no objection to the arrangement: "Alright, should I inform Lieutenant General Cheng when I get back?"
"No need, I sent her a message about the bracelet."
However, there's one more thing that also concerns you.
Jiang Wuyuan's mind worked quickly: "Third Princess?"
"Hmm~" Nian Qingfeng gave Jiang Wuyuan a satisfied look. "This feud is now set in stone. I'd like to hear how you plan to deal with that woman. She wants you dead, little disciple~"
"Kill him." Jiang Wuyuan's expression remained unchanged.
I will not offend others unless they offend me.
Anyone who offends me will be punished.
This is the law of survival in this world.
Being kind-hearted will only lead to your own demise.
"When?" Nian Qingfeng didn't offer an opinion, but continued to ask.
"After retaking the borders of the Heistan Empire."
"Wrong." Nian Qingfeng smiled and flicked Jiang Wuyuan's forehead with her finger. "It's now."
Jiang Wuyuan seemed to be taken aback for a moment.
"Are you afraid that after you kill that princess, the Hestan Empire will no longer cooperate with the Dragon Kingdom, and thus will be unable to stop the invasion of the Abyss?" Nian Qingfeng directly pointed out Jiang Wuyuan's thoughts. "Your idea is good. Considering the big picture is your rationality, and that is your strength. There is nothing wrong with it."
But what if you consider two more questions?
Do you think the Hestan Empire would dare to refuse the Dragon Kingdom's cooperation just because of a woman?
Or rather, can they accept the cost of an invasion by the alien races of the abyss?
Jiang Wuyuan's heart stirred slightly.
Whether in terms of the number of high-level experts or the level of technological advancement, the Dragon Kingdom far surpasses most other countries.
Even the few stronger ones can only barely keep up with the pace of the Dragon Kingdom.
Such strength determined the Dragon Kingdom's status across the entire continent.
The Hestan Empire, too, would never dare to abandon this powerful ally.
"Go ahead and do it," Nian Qingfeng said with a smile. "With your true strength, killing her shouldn't be difficult."
We Chinese from the Dragon Kingdom never settle scores later.
He always seeks revenge on the spot.
