Last Totem Novel - Chapter 245
Chapter 245 Life
It was 10 p.m. Silver City time and 17 a.m. Satt time. Eva Green, who had just finished her shower, swung her wet long hair and sat down on the edge of the bedroom bed. She was stunned for a moment, feeling a little bored, so she called Tie Zha’s voice.
“Dududududududu” A busy sound came from the other side. She snorted softly and felt very unhappy. As the person in charge of Tyre Stronghold, she actually deserted during working hours. With such a mood, she dialed again after a short while, but in the end, she was still busy.
By the third time, Eva Green was alert and felt that something was amiss. The sudden interruption of the signal in the theatre meant that there was an unforeseen danger. She immediately dialed Sandstorm Castle’s voice. After some communication, she was surprised to learn that the three satellite transmitters around Tyre Stronghold had been paralyzed at the same time.
In an instant, a tremendous sense of crisis enveloped her heart. It wasn’t hard to guess what kind of human factors were hidden beneath this abnormal omen. She then stood up, dressed herself, and hurried to Twilight Manor by the cold lake.
Moments later, she arrived at the lake, passed through the towering black iron fence, walked along the quiet white stone path, and walked around the delicate fountain into the manor’s main hall. In the quiet hall, the old butler, Ivan Surrey, told her that Her Highness the Princess had gone out. She hurriedly asked where he was going, but the old butler shook his head and said that the princess had gone out two hours ago and did not inform him of his exact whereabouts.
Eva Greene instantly took a deep breath. Without the Princess’ orders, she would not have been able to mobilize the Dawn Expeditionary Force in Desert Five. On the surface, there were many signs that the Tyre Stronghold was facing a huge crisis. Ever since she took over the stronghold, she had been wary of Yoga Lombar’s potential opponents, but she hadn’t expected the crisis to arrive so quickly that she was caught off guard.
However, just as she was feeling extremely anxious, her princess and another girl were hiding in a corner of the War God Hall, staring fixedly at the entrance and exit of the Mission Hall. At this moment, they were all wearing ordinary student uniforms and large sunglasses, whispering in each other’s ears.
“When we meet again later, I want to beat him up.” Yoga Lombar whispered. This fellow is too hateful. He clearly knows of her existence, but he has been hiding. Is she that scary? When she thought of the way he pulled her three years ago, her teeth itched with hatred. She said that she wanted to send him to school, but he didn’t think so. Now, she ran over on her own. What was the meaning of that?
“Don’t hit my man.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said calmly, her tone unquestionable. It was as if she had forgotten that the man she spoke of was still hanging on the treetop of the tree some time ago.
“I’ll hit him. What’s wrong?” You Ge raises his eyebrows and provokes, “He is mine. I can fight whenever I want.”
“Mine.” Mu Yu Ling Lan bit her lips gently and said unyieldingly.
You Ge snorts and looks away, expressing her strong dissatisfaction with her handkerchief. But after a while, she suddenly lowered her head and sighed softly to herself, “Perhaps … I shouldn’t have come here …”
“Huh?” Mu Yu Ling Lan asked softly.
“I don’t know why, but I always feel so far away from him … so far …” She looked into the distance. whispered. “A few days ago, I had a dream, In that dream, he seemed to be standing on the other side of the world … looking at me from afar … he looked so tired … so lonely … but he didn’t want to walk towards me … no matter how I called him … he couldn’t hear … I just watched him turn around and leave … step by step … disappear into my world … ”
Seeing the handkerchief that was usually filled with high spirits, but was now so disappointed, Mu Yu Ling Lan couldn’t help but feel pain in her heart. She leaned forward and hugged You Ge’s waist, comforting him softly, “He … How could he not like you? You are the princess of the Temple, the miracle of the world …” However, the more she said this, the more painful she felt. The heavens seemed to have played the cruelest joke, letting them meet, know, love each other, and then kill each other …
That day, when Tie Zha revealed her identity, she was secretly delighted for a moment. However, not long after, this trace of happiness was replaced by a vast and heavy sea.
The Vast Expanse Sword, Northas, was destined to carry a burden, destined to be lonely. She knew very well that he would one day leave. Although it seemed that he was satisfied with the status quo, the pride that Old Man Tie had bestowed on him would never allow him to choose the second path. This was his destiny, and no one could change it.
“He’s here!” In his thoughts, You Ge suddenly cries out excitedly. Following her gaze, a well-proportioned young man wearing large sunglasses slowly walked into the lounge. Mu Yu Ling Lan knew that the other party was not Tie Zha, but judging from his figure, he did have some similarities. She had read the information. His name was Hildebrand. He was a Tier 6 Psionic Adept and the leader of the Spartan Warriors.
In a trance, Youge pulled her arm and made a “go” gesture towards the six iron guards near the door. In an instant, the six iron guards strode forward and stopped Hildebrand, who had just entered.
Hildebrand, who had just returned from the bottomless abyss, was shocked and immediately raised his hands to say, “Uh … friends … have something to say.” He did not remember when he had interacted with the great figures of the Temple. The person who possessed the Iron Guards was at least the Arch-Cardinal or someone of the same rank.
“What’s your name?” The iron guard in front asked in a deep voice. Before coming here, His Highness the Princess had given him a page of questions to memorize and then asked in turn.
“Hildebrand Leiden.” “How old are you this year?” “Twenty-one.” “Male or female?”
“Uh …” Hildebrand scratched his hair and helplessly replied, “Male.”
At this time, You Ge who is hiding in the corner whispers to her handkerchief, “He likes to scratch his hair.”
“Yes.” Mu Yu Ling Lan nodded in agreement. Tie Zha had this habit since he was a child. Whenever he encountered problems or felt embarrassed, he would subconsciously scratch his hair.
“Do you have a girlfriend?” The iron guard continued to ask. Truth be told, the question that His Highness the Princess had asked him was truly embarrassing.
“This … no …”
“No” The Iron Guard pondered for a moment, as if he had forgotten what to say. Then, he took out a small piece of paper from his chest armor, frowned and looked at it. Then, he raised his head and asked seriously, “Why not?”
‘Not handsome enough …’ Hildebrand shrugged and spread out his hands.
Seeing this, You Ge in the corner shook Mu Yu Ling Lan’s arm excitedly and said, “Look, he shrugged. It must be him.”
“Yes.” At this moment, even Mu Yu Ling Lan had an illusion, because their movements were too similar.
“Take off your sunglasses.” The Iron Guard let out a sigh of relief and finally came to the last question.
Just as he finished speaking, You Ge clenched her fists, held her breath, and stared fixedly at the young man not far away. In the next moment, Hildebrand raised the broken hair on his forehead and took off his sunglasses, revealing a sunny and handsome face.
Looking at the unfamiliar face, You Ge is extremely disappointed. For a moment, her entire body froze.
It had to be said that this young man was indeed somewhat similar to that person, but it was only similar. And at this moment, the person she wanted to see the most was guarding the territory that she had just obtained, facing the calamity of annihilation …
It was 3:00 a.m. Silver City time and 22:00 a.m. Satt time. Dozens of searchlights in Tyre Stronghold turned on and shot back and forth on the open space in front of the city wall. This was a stronghold in the plains. Without any natural hazards, all directions would be attacked. The four academy legions were guarding one side, and the Marine Corps consisted of about 120 men. In addition, there were a few Wolf-type and Firebird-type mechs working together to defend. The four teams had a total of 46 Thunderflame mechs concentrated on the open space in the middle of the stronghold. They put away their mechanical legs, erected cannon frames, and were ready to provide artillery support at any time.
The sixth squad of the Princess Guard, which had twelve psionic warriors and twenty-four psionic soldiers, acted as a reserve force, ready to enter the defensive gap. Finally, the giant cannon at the top of the stronghold, the lava beast, was currently facing the sky with its mouth wide open, as if it would let out a heaven-shaking roar at any moment. Standing beside the giant cannon, he looked around and saw giant copper shell cannonballs lying on the side one after another, reflecting a yellow-orange luster under the silver mist-like starlight.
At this moment, Tie Zha stood on the city wall northwest of the stronghold, staring at the Gobi Desert under the curtain of night. It was quiet, far-reaching, dark, and low, like a sea before a storm. The calm contained monstrous rage. A cold wind blew towards his face, and the officers’ uniforms rang. He stood there motionlessly like a stone statue on the city wall.
Unknowingly, the distant horizon gradually changed, like a wavy line, slightly trembling. Suddenly, an earth-shattering hissing sound came from far to near. The sharp sound wave pierced through the night sky, piercing straight into the eardrums of people.
The soldiers on the city wall stood up one after another, their eyes wide open as they looked ahead. In an instant, a boundless swarm of insects surged out of the horizon like a tide. The dense number of insects really made one’s scalp go numb. The shadow of death quickly filled everyone’s hearts. At this moment, many people involuntarily thought of the scene of the city being destroyed and the end of the sea of insects being buried. They all trembled and swallowed their saliva.
“Prepare for battle.” Just as everyone was shocked and frightened, Tie Zha picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered in a low voice.
When this calm voice reached the ears of every soldier through the walkie-talkie, they all regained their senses and prepared to fight.
“My rules have always been simple. Fighting, earning money, and living a better life.” Tie Zha said calmly as he stared at the swarm of insects that covered the sky and covered the earth.
“My life is also very simple. There is only one thing. My foster father once told me that a man should be like a gorgeous firework, blossoming with the most beautiful brilliance in the world. Life can be short, but it cannot be without dignity and glory!”
“As a commander, I can’t guarantee victory in this war …”
“But I can assure you, as a brother, I will fight until the last moment, until I die!”
