In the distant sky, a light spot streaked across a long track of clouds, heading towards the east.
And this girl with wings on her back is none other than Lorraine Hill.
Since the last attack, she had often fallen asleep, and it was not until a few days ago that she fully recovered. What surprised her was that her control over the wind and atmosphere seemed to be a little stronger.
As if being stimulated by something.
Recalling the scene she had seen in her dream, it was not difficult for her to guess that the salt crystallization power of the gray light came from another prototype at that time, the gray-white crystallized rock, Brainard.
As Yan, who is opposite to the wind, has almost completely opposite characteristics, that's why she was so sensitive at that time. She felt a special crisis before the other party triggered it.
And if I was one of the four prototypes at that time, where are the remaining three now? Have they survived? If so. According to the 'Original Heart' faction, these are all
You can say she is your sister.
They are not related by blood, but they have an essential similarity that is closer than blood relationship. It is a kind of natural intimacy.
While flying in the sky, Lorraine Hill kept thinking about the information he had received in the past few days.
Yesterday, she obtained a fragment of the 'Sun Crown' from the statue. She tried to use the system to analyze it, but unfortunately the system showed that the Aijaka network was closed and could not connect to the Sun Throne, so the fragment could not be activated.
After traveling through the sky for a day and a night, she finally arrived at Solander, the royal capital of Crancia.
It was already evening at this time, and wisps of green smoke rose in the royal capital under the setting sun. A burst of fireworks and the aroma of rice filled the air from the house. The street lights along the street gradually lit up, emitting a warm orange light.
Her toes stepped on the boulder of the Hongyan Palace, the light cyan wings behind her dissipated into light spots, and the hem of her skirt slowly fell with the airflow.
After returning to the Red Palm Palace, Lorraine Hill participated in the highest meeting of Crancia the next day.
In the grand hall, people wearing dark cyan and white uniforms sat on the fan-shaped seats on the stairs, listening to the speeches at the central rostrum in front of them.
"The Frost Rose Alliance has currently recruited 700,000 soldiers in the country and are constantly gathering at the border."
"Moreover, according to the intelligence department, there are currently about 20 golem legions ready to go, and nearly 300 aerospace airships are constantly being reloaded with ammunition and modified."
"In addition, the enemy's fleet at sea also has about 200 steel warships. They are currently staying at Ubere and Green Water Ports and are on standby. All our country's caravans in Frost Rose have been detained."
"There are various signs that are irrefutable that Frost Rose will launch an aggressive war against us."
"Now we have reached the most critical moment. We cannot take any chances and hand over the scepter of peace to the other party. That is a cowardly move."
"We are preparing for war in all aspects, fighting for peace and mobilizing the whole country. A difficult test is waiting for us."
Crancia's senior executives described their current thinking and decisions in the meeting.
...
"This meeting will pass the wartime conscription bill, national mobilization order, and wartime industrial requisition and transformation regulations to prepare for all aspects of war."
"Representatives who agree, please raise your hands."
....
"The count is complete, the bill is passed and will be implemented today."
"The conference is over. I hope I can still see everyone's faces next year. I wish you all good luck and adjourn."
Everyone stood up, stood at attention, saluted, and then left the brightly lit venue one by one.
After everyone left, several high-level officials from Crancia continued the follow-up discussion.
"How long will it take to mobilize the entire country now?" Lorraine Hill asked Pullman on the side.
"Our fastest estimate is one month, but in fact this is indeed a challenge."
"There are currently about 500,000 soldiers serving, 300,000 of whom are elites who have participated in the battle against the West Wind. They have a strong will and discipline and are our pride."
"There are currently about 1.2 million registered and trained reservists. If fully mobilized, we can train 2 million reservists in half a year."
"And if we continue a protracted war with the enemy and engage in a war to destroy the country, we can support up to 5 million troops."
"However, this also means the most cruel war rationing. The entire population will run the war machine at full capacity and produce all war-related equipment, such as armor, weapons, arrows, cannons, gunpowder, etc., and many old and weak people will also be ruthlessly abandoned.
." Pullman said slowly.
"It's really photogenic."
After listening to this, Tolan sighed. I don't know when, that simple young man has become so determined and decisive.
After listening, Lorraine Hill also sighed. If it really comes to that point, there is nothing that can be done about it.
The mountains and rivers are like blood, and there are soldiers everywhere.
Unlike those short-sighted outsiders, everyone here now knows very well what will happen if the country is destroyed.
Unlike the aristocrats of the past, the people just changed their heads. Once Crancia is destroyed, the existing just system and everything brought about by this national system will be in vain.
Thousands of people on this land will once again return to the oppressive dark society of the past. Capital is not moral. The purpose of its birth is to obtain profits. And it is controlled by a small number of vested interests.
The country will not treat the people at the bottom as kindly as Crancia.
In the Frost Rose and Green Empire, the population at the bottom is just renewable fuel, and they are not so kind as to spit out what is on their plates.
And this also means that the blood that has been shed is in vain, and all the current construction and efforts will eventually become someone else's wedding dress.
As the leaders who founded this country, they know very well that everything today is hard-won. So even if resistance will cost tens of thousands of people to die, they will not give up the fight.
"Only iron and fire can forge the backbone of a nation."
"Teacher, this is what you once said." Pullman looked at the still young silver-haired girl.
"And only by winning this war can we gain the respect of the world and make the people of this country truly proud."
"And this will also build the tenacity of a nation or country." Lorraine Hill closed his eyes slightly and said this.
"Even at that time, countless people blamed and scolded me, but I would not change my mind." Pullman continued to talk about his thoughts.
"Since the people have chosen us, we must stick to this trust to the end."
"Let this begin, this war that will overwhelm the country."
After finishing speaking, Pullman stood up slowly, picked up the black helmet on the side, put it on again, turned around and left the venue. His back was as tall and resolute as ever.
Outside the venue, the legions who had been waiting for a long time made a roaring sound.
The flags are fluttering, the cold front is like the sea, and it is like a mighty picture scroll of the prosperous times.
