Chapter 528 Trust
After the communication ended, Tie Zha immediately arranged for a jeep to carry Valeria, who was still unconscious under anesthesia, into the car. Then, he jumped into the driver’s seat and prepared to personally take her to Windsand Castle.
Before leaving, Zhao Wenke stopped him, but he didn’t say anything and just looked at him quietly. Of course, he understood what the other party meant. Right now, a great battle was imminent. As the actual leader of the legion, he left alone. No matter from what angle, it was inappropriate.
But he trusted Mu Yu Ling Lan, trusted her wisdom, and trusted her love for him. Although she did not say anything about the follow-up plan, there would definitely be proper arrangements, and it was impossible for him to fall into injustice.
‘”Friend, although Notre Dame is in a different position from us, they helped our ancestors send the remains of the heroes back to the end of the world after the glorious battle. So …” Tie Zha paused and said in an accentuated tone, “I believe in her. Please believe in me.”
Zhao Wenke was silent for a moment before finally nodding and making way.
Three hours after Tie Zha left, from 4:00 p.m. Silver City time to 4:00 a.m. Satt time, the troops of Peace Field Stronghold in Sequoia Stronghold drove from the southeast and northeast directions to a distance of 15km from Chifeng Stronghold. Further ahead was the precise range of the cannons in the stronghold. Hundreds of Lightning Flame Styles stopped at the same time. They put away their six mechanical legs and fixed them on the dry red ground. The muzzle of the muzzle was raised at a 37 degree angle and entered an attacking state.
Evgeny picked up the radio and gave Chifeng an ultimatum, “Hagrid, commander of Chifeng Stronghold, I am Evgeny, commander of Sequoia Stronghold.”
“I now ask you to return the prisoners you took away and compensate us for all the losses we suffered in this incident.”
“Otherwise, we will launch an attack and completely flatten Crimson Peak Stronghold!”
However, when the radio signal was sent out, it was like a rock sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all. Afterwards, Evgeny gave another two ultimatums, but the other party still did not react, not even the slightest noise of an electronic signal. It was as if his threat was like air,
“You’re courting death!” Yevgeny clenched his teeth and spat out two words. Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered in a low voice, “All thunder and fire, prepare to shoot.”
In the next moment, while the pilots were waiting for the scouts to send back the location information of the shelling, a shocking news came.
“Commander, there are six expeditionary force frigates docked above Crimson Peak Stronghold. Judging from the signs, they should be from the 2nd Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 5th Army.” The captain of the scouts sent back a voice message.
“What!” Yevgeny cried out in disbelief.
“They seem …” The scout captain hesitated for a moment before saying, “They seem to be resting …”
“What did you say? Say it again!” Evgeny was so shocked that he could hardly believe his ears. How could things have happened to this extent? Just as he was about to attack Crimson Peak Stronghold and force the other party to hand over Valeria, he encountered the expeditionary army passing by to recuperate.
“It seems to be refueling and resting.” The scout captain took a deep breath and said.
Evgeny was stunned. Gradually, his brows furrowed into the word “Chuan”. At this moment, no one would believe that this was just a coincidence. However, he still didn’t give up. He picked up the communicator and contacted from his old classmates to his old friends, from his old boss to his old subordinates. Finally, he contacted the squadron leader of the expeditionary army who was currently stationed in Chifeng Stronghold.
After connecting, he slowly exhaled a breath to calm his mood. Then, in a humble tone, he greeted, “Good afternoon, Sir, this is Evgeny from Sequoia Company.”
“Hello, Commander.” A polite voice came from over there.
“Sir, I would like to inquire who ordered you to stay here?” Evgeny asked straightforwardly.
“It was arranged by our captain.” The other party replied, but his calm tone was filled with a sense of business.
“Oh, that’s right …” Evgeny put on a look of sudden realization and then asked, “Then you guys …” He hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, “How long are you going to stay?”
“Huh?” After a moment of silence, he warned unhappily, “Sir, are you investigating the expeditionary army’s military intelligence?”
‘”No, no, no … I don’t dare …” Evgeny hurriedly denied. He sighed and said, “Sir, we still have some problems to solve with Chifeng. The army is coming over, don’t you think …”
“We will not interfere in your problems.” Said the other side.
“But …”
“After we leave, we can fight whatever you want, but now, we need to rest and recuperate.” The other party seemed to be getting impatient and interrupted him.
“Alright, alright, alright. I understand. Thank you.” Evgeny smiled bitterly.
After finishing the communication, he sighed helplessly and gave the order to retreat. If he still couldn’t see the situation clearly at this time, he would have been kicked out of the company long ago. Attacking the expeditionary army was equivalent to making an enemy of the world. Without anyone else taking action, the chairman of the Sequoia Company would personally bring people to capture him.
A moment later, Tokuda Dazhi’s face turned ashen when he heard this news. The situation had already exceeded his imagination. For a moment, he could only feel the mountain rain approaching. I didn’t expect that such a big trouble would be caused for the sake of playing with a woman. The gains are not worth the losses. Although he was a little panicked, he was someone who had seen great storms before. He quickly regained his composure and brought his troops back to Pingye Stronghold to strengthen his defenses.
Twenty hours later, Tie Zha arrived at Sand Wind Castle overnight and met up with Selma through Seth’s Gate. After handing Valeria over to the other party, Tie Zha was about to leave when he was stopped.
“Lord Priest wants you to come with us to Elk City and wait for her.” Selma said.
“Huh?” Tie Zha was puzzled. If it was Mu Yu Ling Lan’s arrangement, why didn’t she directly tell him? Instead, she asked someone to send a message.
Seemingly seeing through his doubts, Selma smiled and said, “Don’t worry, auntie won’t eat you ~”
“This” Tie Zha still hesitated.
“I’m afraid it’s not convenient for her to communicate with you now.” Selma said.
“Why?” Tie Zha asked.
Selma looked at her watch and said, “She should be at the Moon Prayer Temple at this time.” She revealed a meaningful smile and her voice became sticky. “She doesn’t dare to flirt with men at the side of the Great Sacrificial Priest.”
Half an hour later, when Tie Zha and Selma arrived at the hospital of the Belle Foundation in the outskirts of Elk City, Muyu Ling Lan’s airship flew out of the Yuze and landed on the tarmac of the second island after passing through the first island’s Eternal Lighthouse.
Then, under the escort of two groups of red-clothed nuns, she walked through a fragrant green garden and between the white and elegant Roman stone pillars to arrive at a colorful, upward-sloping rainstone avenue.
He looked up and saw that at the end of the Grand Dao stood a magnificent building, the Moon Praying Temple.
Her entire body was made of pure white snowflake stones. Under the sunlight, it was translucent and sparkling, like the skin of a young girl. It was snow-white and beautiful, making one’s heart move.
Her overall structure was rectangular, very similar to the Ares Temple of the Central Silver City Military Academy. Outside the smooth and translucent wall was a huge corridor. Outside the corridor was an ancient Roman-style white jade stone pillar with wreaths and fruits carved on the upper end and a thick stone foundation on the lower end. It was elegant and sturdy.
From afar, she looked like a goddess lying on her side on the summit of a mountain. She was like a dream, like smoke, like rain, so beautiful that it could not be cured.
The front of the temple was a tall vestibule, with a triangle above and columns on both sides that were hugged by several people. A huge relief painting, right in the middle of the vestibule.
The figures in the painting were lifelike, both male and female, old and young. Some were holding wine glasses, chatting, some were lying on the carpet, eating fruit, some were wearing armor, competing in martial arts, and some were dancing in light veils. On the throne in the middle sat a woman dressed in embroidered skirts. Her face was delicate and her eyes were clear. She was smiling faintly as she looked at the crowd in the arena.
The painting depicted the luncheon of the gods in the palace at the summit of the mountains. There are nineteen gods in the painting, with the Moon Goddess at the center. Beside her was her sister, Goddess Yulu, and the one dancing was her maidservant, Goddess Starlight. There were also Gods of Hurricanes, Gods of Flames, and so on …
Originally, there were 19 shrines in Notre Dame, corresponding to the 19 gods in the painting. However, more than three thousand years ago, the Temple Faith forcefully occupied the Sun Shrine, declaring Saul the only True God in the world. Although Notre Dame had never acknowledged Saul’s departure for thousands of years, due to the strength and arrogance of the temple, they had not rebuilt the Sun Shrine and had selectively forgotten about it in their mutual understanding.
At present, including the Moon Prayer Temple, there were eighteen temples.
Under the gentle sound of footsteps, Mu Yu Ling Lan came to the Divine Hall and looked at the familiar pillars and ancient relief sculptures. Thousands of thoughts surfaced in her heart.
Once upon a time, she was the hottest candidate here. Perhaps, she was just a step away from becoming the owner of this place, and she had the power to do everything in the world.
Unfortunately, the world was unstable. With the death of her adoptive mother, everything had turned into a bubble.
As his starry eyes flowed, it was regret, sigh, indifference, and determination.
She gently flicked her robe, held the sheathed sword in her hand, and walked steadily into the hall. The red-clothed nun followed suit.
The vast and far-reaching hall could not be seen to the end. The tall dome could allow the eagle to chase after it. The big bird was flying, and the candlelight was like sparks, warm and bright.
Within the swaying orange light, statues stood alone, quiet, dignified, and solemn.
After passing through the statues of the gods, the red-clothed nuns all stopped and watched Mu Yu Ling Lan walk into the hall alone.
The clear sound of footsteps echoed in the large hall, traveling far away.
Not far ahead, a large circular pool appeared.
The water in the pond was crystal clear and tranquil. Beast heads were carved on the edge of the pond. A trickle of flowing water was spitting out from his mouth, causing gentle ripples and slight ripples.
A middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothes, holding a long staff and a short sword tied around her waist stood by the side of the pool with a solemn expression. She watched as Mu Yu Ling Lan walked over step by step.
“Little Yu has seen the sacrifice” Mu Yu Ling Lan walked forward and bowed. However, the moment she lowered her head, a golden light flashed in front of her eyes.
The Great Priest’s shoulders moved slightly, and the staff in his hand stabbed into her abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Yu Ling Lan did not retreat and instead moved forward. She straightened her body and twisted her waist. At the same time, she waved her arm and struck the end of the staff with her sheath and sword. Immediately, she clanged! With a loud shout, sparks splashed everywhere, knocking away this sinister and vicious attack.
“Whose child?” The Great Priest’s voice was as cold as a thousand-year-old frost pond. There was no change in his expression. There was no joy, no sorrow, no anger, no anger. It was like a mask without emotion.
Mu Yu Ling Lan straightened her body and looked straight ahead. She replied indifferently, “I forgot.”
