Xizhou, Guangming City.

The glow of the sunset lingers and fills the temple. The majestic statue with the sun on its head stands on the top of the holy mountain. Under the statue, the Holy Judge worships all day long, thanking this great throne for the light it brings to Xizhou.

Not far from the temple is the side hall dedicated to the "power of blessing".

These side halls hold the forbidden sealed objects of Xizhou and the blessing monuments. Outside the hall, a wishing and praying pond is built that can carry earthly wishes.

Sincerity leads to spirituality.

Lord God can listen to the voices of the people of Xizhou. As long as you come here and bring your heart's wish, you may get "God's favor".

In addition, the high priests in the Holy Judge Legion who are responsible for praying and preaching will regularly bring tributes to maintain the peace of the shrines.

The Divine Throne of Light will send its divine thoughts from time to time to give guidance to the Holy Inquisitor and ordinary believers in the shrine in the side hall.

Today in the shrine.

The lit incense produced thick black smoke.

The priest praying aside had a pale expression. He insisted on reciting sacred texts, but the thick smoke filled the hall and actually obscured the last ray of light at sunset... This is the land of sunset, the mountain of eternal daylight.

Protected by the power of the God's Throne, there has been no real darkness for hundreds of years.

But at this moment.

The hall was dark as never before.

"Crack!"

In the blessing shrine, a tablet suddenly fell down!

"ah!"

This sudden scene scared the believers serving on the side and screamed in surprise.

The priest's lips were dry and his face was blank. Looking at the shrine that was no longer bright at the moment, he felt a great sense of ominousness in his heart. After the mutation occurred, the approaching believers immediately stepped forward and tried to help up the fallen piece.

of tablets.

Then a high-pitched and frightened voice echoed through the hall.

"The soul of the blessed child is broken!"

…

…

Dolu River disaster.

The sound of thunder resounded throughout the sky.

Lin Lin stood up. He began to put on the source armor and prepared to set off. As a commander, his duty was to ensure that the operation went smoothly and that the captains of all parties could form a coordination under the coordination of the spiritual network.

But now...the link in the spiritual network has been broken.

The main control boat became an isolated island.

The commander has also completely lost his due role.

A strong big hand pressed on his shoulder.

"Forest."

Osmond asked in a deep voice: "Are you leaving the main control boat?"

"Sir Osmond, forgive me for not being able to wait any longer."

Lin Lin's voice was very firm: "During this period, the rupture of the mental network shows no sign of repair... It is obvious that the [Deep Sea] connection point we laid earlier has been destroyed. If we continue to wait like this, we can still wait.

What, the body of my comrade?"

Yes.

This has been an excruciating wait.

After Lu Zhe set off, no team sent back a message.

The twelve teams all disappeared at the end of the branch of the Dolu River... and the black snow mountain at the end of the disaster seemed to emit a violent vibrating sound. The disconnected main control boat was unable to receive any messages, and

A "commander" in this state is equivalent to a blind man.

Can't see, can't hear.

"On the battlefield, there will be a general's position, a king's position... Exploring the Dolu River is what the captain should do. As the commanders of the restart mission, what you and I have to do is to sit in command of the boat. You do

Before making the decision, have you ever thought that if you leave the main control boat, communications are restored, the captain returns, and the commander is missing, then the operation will suffer a greater blow?"

Osmond looked directly into Lin Lin's eyes.

"..."

Lin Lin was speechless.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you notice, sir, that something unexpected has happened in this disaster place... Those captains are very likely to be in danger."

The sound of thunder in the distance seemed to tear the sky apart.

Under such circumstances, being trapped in the main control boat is really a desperate thing.

"I've seen your file."

Osmond stared at the young man in front of him with his one eye, and said slowly: "During the time I was stationed in the fort, I encountered seven storms, big and small, and nineteen other chaotic sources. Every time, you were the first."

The 'vanguards' who rushed forward will still be the same even if they become the commander of the fortress. I carefully read the specific records in the files for each battle so that I can review the situation at any time."

Lin Lin fell silent.

Over the years... he has experienced so many battles that he can hardly remember them clearly.

This eye of the legion was actually remembered in my heart.

"As a fortress garrison, there is nothing wrong with taking the lead. Because behind you is the home of all mankind. For people like us, being able to die on the giant wall is the best ending."

Osmond said: "But this is not a giant wall, and the 'enemy' we face is not a storm. This is not a problem you can solve by putting on source armor, rushing out of the main control boat, and fighting with a knife... You

Do you not believe in the captains selected by Her Majesty the Queen? Or do you believe too much in your own abilities?"

These words left Lin Lin speechless.

He fell completely silent.

"Your Mightiness……"

After a long time, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the table, looking at the dark screen. The light in the main control boat was warm, but after the deep sea link was disconnected, this dead warm light made people feel cold...

Lin Lin's voice was a little hoarse and he said: "I...I'm not willing to just stay here and do nothing."

"Oh, I almost forgot something."

Osmond's eyes became gentler, and he said slowly: "The only battle in which you did not personally fight was the 'Storm Counterattack' not long ago, right?"

The biggest disaster in the history of Gubao.

Lin Lin was infected with mental toxins and was unable to fight in person.

For a general who is accustomed to meeting each other on the front line, this is a huge shortcoming and an irreparable regret.

"Um……"

For Lin Lin, participating in this restart mission is more like a negotiation.

Most people here don't know his true identity.

After returning to Central City, Lin Lin had a brief conversation with his brother Zhuxue... Under the pressure of his family's will and the situation in Beizhou, he knew that there were some things that he could not choose.

He is likely to stay in Central City, announce his royal status, and then become an "important chess piece" to stabilize the situation.

This means that he cannot garrison the fort.

Once the royal status is announced, Lin Lin's life trajectory can be foreseen. Next, he will go to the best university in Central Continent for further studies, marry with Guangming City, and then try his best to achieve "big success" for the Lin family.

These are very, very good.

But he just didn't like it.

So there was that conversation with my sister on the second floor of the castle.

He expressed his truest thoughts, but his sister sitting on the throne did not say a word and just listened quietly.

Finally, he came here.

Lin Lin did not pass the selection and directly joined this heavyweight special operation as a "commander". In fact, his mood was not relaxed, but very complicated.

Because he didn't know his sister's real intention of making such an arrangement.

This may be his last battle.

This mission was of great importance to the fate of Beizhou. If he messed up, he would have no choice. Even if it was for the sake of his family, he would have to stand up and make a sacrifice in his life.

But if the mission goes well and he proves his "talent", maybe his sister will "cut some slack".

"Don't worry."

Osmond's voice was still gentle. He patted the young man on the shoulder: "The danger is hidden in the fog. We don't know who the enemy is yet. The only thing we can do now is to 'wait'."
To be continued...
