Everyone didn't know what Kino was thinking right now. They could only see that his lips were pressed into a tight line and his pupils were constantly dilating, as if they had become unfocused.

"You are making a very serious mistake," he said.

No one knows who this sentence was said to.

Kino threw Hilly's flying book into the fireplace, stood up and walked out: "Niko, from now on you will control the entire army. Each legion will stay at its current position, and no soldier is allowed to move."

Nicole had already guessed what Kino was going to do and said anxiously: "Sir, there must be something wrong with this meeting. You can't go to the royal city!"

The other generals also echoed:

"In this situation, the initiative is on our side, and there is no need to pay attention to the loser's request for a meeting."

"That's right, there's nothing to talk about. Just conquer the royal city in one go!"

"Even if we are going to go, we should send various legions to clear the way, and we will be responsible for the defense deployment of the meeting site!"

"Yes, at least bring enough experts with you. Who knows what destructive things that false king will do?"

Kino opened his hand, and the silent metal was suspended in the air of the office, and the gravitational lens effect annihilated all sounds.

Everyone understood what this meant and fell silent one after another and stopped talking.

The door of the office was opened, and the cold night wind poured in. The cold current made many people cover their faces and close their eyes subconsciously. When they opened their eyes again, Kino had disappeared into the wind and snow.

The 30th day of Huixue is the last day of the 516th year of the Huoyao calendar.

This day was originally a special day - the Laurel Queen's 27th birthday.

However, the people of Doguland have long forgotten it, because this day has a more special meaning in their eyes.

The weather in Wangcheng is not good today. The sky is full of haze. The dim light makes the falling snowflakes turn gray. It is full of depression and the temperature is colder than at any time this year.

However, even such bad weather could not stop the enthusiasm of the people, because everyone knew the news - our Lord is back.

Not long ago, the Queen officially asked for surrender, which meant that the short but fierce war came to an end, and the Supreme Lord was about to return here.

Now the royal city is deserted, and countless people are crowding the streets, looking eagerly toward the east, waiting for the return of the Lord.

At noon, a black spot gradually became clear in the distant east. Even though it seemed so subtle compared with the huge sky, the ripples that spread out in the process swept across the entire sky, like a vast miracle.

At this moment, the rising voice swept across like a wave. Some people knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly, some cheered at the top of their lungs, and even more people burst into tears and cried with joy.

Although this counter-insurgency war did not last long, the people have already suffered a lot.

The most direct impact is that materials are prioritized to protect the frontline troops.

There is no more wine to drink, so we can only have water with our meals.

Meats with high nutritional value are sent to the front lines first, and they can no longer eat as much as they want.

Sugar is temporarily controlled as a strategic material, and it is difficult to make the dishes fresh.

Even the honey filling in the bread disappeared, leaving only the plain taste of wheat.

This is very painful for the people living in the honeypot. Even if the queen does not let any of her subjects suffer from cold or starvation, without the extravagance of extravagance, the huge gap is still unacceptable.

They soon began to miss, miss the past six years, miss that blissful era, and miss the great existence that brought all the luxury.

Many people have heard that the major provinces that previously announced that they would no longer accept the leadership of the Queen have returned to the embrace of our Lord and are living their previous blissful lives, as if they are in heaven.

The people of the Cardinal Province were envious, jealous, and also filled with hatred.

Hate this war, hate Solandelle, hate the New Deal, hate her for going against the Lord.

Everyone no longer regards her as a queen, but as a thief, a thief who stole their happy life.

But now, everything has finally disappeared.

The Queen is about to surrender and our Lord is back!

The long-awaited old days are coming back!

If the people had long-held hatred towards the Queen and wished she would die, now their resentment has dissipated a lot in joy.

At least, the queen finally came to her senses and was willing to hand over things that did not belong to her and let my lord come back.

For a leader who can admit her mistakes and correct them, the people are still willing to give her the last bit of respect.

But what people don’t know is that the Queen has been constantly giving up and getting hurt since she set foot on this road. She has never looked back even if she lost everything, and it remains the same until now.

The palace with its open door has turned into a carefully prepared killing field. Visitors from the void and all the warriors who are loyal to the queen are waiting for death to step into it.

When Kino arrived at the main entrance of the palace, the people had long been separated by the cordon. The crowd could not be seen here, and only the faint voices of people could be heard.

He raised his head and looked at the huge wall in front of him. The nearly 100-meter-high wall was like a Titan, silently overlooking him.

Kino actually left the palace not long ago. Only half a year has passed since the day he was expelled.

However, when he came to this place again, what he recalled was the scene when he first stepped into the palace 14 years ago.

On a winter afternoon, the sun was warm. He stood in the mansion by Nuanshui Lake and listened. The little princess he had never met sang a cappella in the bedroom, and the song "Katyusha" was flying in the wind.

Time flies so fast.

14 years seems to have gone by in a blink of an eye.

Winter is still the same winter with 30 days of snow, but everything has changed.

Kino straightened the clothes that were a little messy due to the long journey and smoothed out the wrinkles, but he couldn't get rid of the old color on them.

There is no way, the clothes are from 14 years ago. No matter how good the fabric is, no matter how well maintained, they cannot stop the erosion of time. The seams have become loose, there are endless hair balls, and there are traces of time everywhere.

Why do you have to wear this old clothes? Kino himself doesn’t know the reason.

Maybe it's because it was the clothes I wore when we first met.

Kino finished stroking his clothes and entered the palace. He walked on the dry forest road and along the warm water lake to the main palace hall. Solandel, who had been away for half a year, was standing on the long steps looking at him in brand new clothes.

In fact, before Kino came here, he still had some thoughts about whether Solandel would be with him and meet him wearing the same clothes as when they first met 14 years ago.

But now that I think about it carefully, this idea is ridiculous, because she was only 12 years old when we first met her, and she has long outgrown the clothes she had when she was a child.

The two stared at each other in the cold wind, just like the year they first met.

Solandel: "I have something for you."

Kino: "What is it?"

Solandel took out a slender cylindrical object from her arms. When she raised it to the sky and pulled down the fuse, a long and sharp whistle tore through the sky, and red fire light shot directly into the dome.

The red light was reflected in Solandel's eyes and flowed in Kino's eyes, as if there was a burning flame.

The thought of death and the illusion of the queen were all shattered at this moment.
