Garden of Eden.
In the Blood Gate Fortress, after the return of the expeditionary army, the fortress gradually became alive. But compared to the past, the number of people is still much smaller. This time to participate in the Eboyins war, Lu Sen transferred all the troops that could be mobilized, but no more than three out of ten came back. Of the more than 200,000 troops, only 40,000 to 50,000 have returned. This number is even rarer when divided among the various bases. For this reason, Lu Sen has even considered whether to give up some occupied areas.
But today, what he has to consider is not this issue, but to attend the funeral of the war dead. The bones of the war dead were never returned, and even the nameplates of the dead were not recovered in time. After counting the list of survivors, the roster of the war dead could only be determined by the method of exclusion. Finally, a huge cemetery suddenly appeared on the Blood Gate Fortress. Crosses were inserted in the cemetery, and these are the tombstones of the war dead.
Hundreds of thousands of tombstones made people feel heavy. Even though the funeral was over, Lu Sen, who was still in the cemetery, couldn't relax at all.
Holding his military cap in his hand, he looked at the tombstones silently without saying a word.
Footsteps sounded and stopped behind him, and then a voice said: "Their heroic spirits will return to this place and rest here."
Lu Sen paused, spread his hands and said, "Then, the federal president is still acting as a pastor now? The pastor will lose his job that day."
"Dark humor doesn't really suit you, Russen, and I want to correct you, here's a former president." Mobik was wearing a military uniform, standing upright with his hands behind his back. He said indifferently: "Mobit will not appear again. I am sure that the new president of the Federation can lead the Federation to a new direction. The next time should be an era of peace. People like me are not suitable to lead the Federation through Such an era. If the Federation continues to let me manage it, I’m afraid it will lead to the wrong era.”
Lu Sen spread his hands: "Can you let go?"
"I have to let go." Mobit said, "Lu Sen, you should let go too. People like you and me are not suitable to be on the next stage. Enough people have died, don't let more People continue to be at war because of what you and I stand for. They deserve a better life after what they've been through, not war."
"It's not up to you or me." Lu Sen said, "Even if I step back, can you be sure that there won't be a second or third Lu Sen?"
"Yes, but at least, there is no need to show up now." Mobit said solemnly.
Lu Sen narrowed his eyes: "What if I don't agree."
Mobit laughed: "You should know better than me."
Lu Sen suddenly laughed, "If I don't agree, then it should be that adult who comes to talk to me next time."
"He asked me to tell you that retirement is not necessarily boring. And staying in the current position may not be very interesting. As for how to do it, the choice is yours."
Lu Sen pulled his face down: "Do I have any other options?"
"I guess not."
Lu Sen scolded: "You bastard who speaks beautifully, after all, I can only make one choice."
"You don't have to complain, whoever has the bigger fist makes sense, and it's not like you don't understand."
Lu Sen sneered: "So what's the matter with him now, interfering in various affairs everywhere, and treating himself as the savior?"
"He did save the world," said Morbitt, spreading his hands. "He said he only wanted those he cared about to be happy. He didn't want war, at least in the short term. It was his wish, and we all owe him a big favor, so you see, it's not a big deal to pay back the favor. I've heard that you are good at fishing, maybe in the future, we can play together
Play? "
"Mr. Former President, with all due respect, don't show your fishing skills." Lu Sen snorted, and then whispered: "Please tell him, his wish will come true."
"I'll be waiting for you on Earth." Mobit left the cemetery.
Lu Sen looked at the tombstone in front of him, and murmured: "You're only right. There are too many dead people. The Guangyin Society... Maybe it should return to the shadows."
A few days later, Lu Sen announced his retirement, and the defense of Eden fell into the hands of the young general Sylva.

The sound of the horn was sounding, and it could be heard clearly in the entire Magic Ring City.
Today, various colors of brilliance continuously blasted from the direction of the Shadow Castle. They exploded in mid-air, forming a ray of light like fireworks, reflecting on this ancient castle. The people in power, the ministers of the empire, and even the generals guarding the gray area all rushed back.
Because today, a big event will happen in the Shadow Kingdom.
In the shadow hall, there were many people. The once empty hall seemed to be crowded with hundreds of people.
Bavari was very excited. This was the first time he had seen such a scene since he became the head of the palace. After all, it is rare to gather all important ministers and dignitaries of the empire, including many generals and generals in the imperial army. Hundreds of people gather together. Holding back his excitement, he coughed dryly and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Now, our emperor, Your Majesty Allen, is invited to announce a big event for everyone."
After the expedition ended, both the Phantom Shadow Kingdom and Duobia were seriously injured. The military strength and the number of strong men have shrunk by more than half compared to the heyday. There were only ten generals in the empire, but now only Devlin and the other two remain. The three remaining generals stood closest to the high platform. They seemed to have received the news, and they all made no move. Others speculated and talked a lot, until Bavari reminded them again, these people finally calmed down.
Then there was the sound of heavy footsteps, and everyone saw that Allen was wearing the armor of the demon king and walked up to the high platform, but he never sat down on the throne, but stood under the high platform and glanced at the pictures in the hall. faces.
He cleared his throat, and said calmly: "I believe that for many people, I am just an unfamiliar passer-by. The fact is also true, I am not from Agares, and for some reason, I am here. Many people should know that I walked out of the Great Badlands and walked all the way here. To be honest, when I arrived in Agares, I didn't think I could stand in this castle or in this hall. But Spinac gave me such an opportunity to stand at the pinnacle of Agares' power."
"Now, Spinak and Frius have left this universe to explore the endless mysteries of other dimensions. I don't belong here. Unfortunately, I have to leave too."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall exploded.
Bavaria, who had already guessed a bit, trembled all over, the three generals showed different expressions, and more people were shocked.
Allen raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and continued: "Everyone has something he wants to do, and now I have found the meaning of life. So I am leaving, leaving this place that does not belong to me, and going to Pursue my own life. Of course, I can't just leave the empire and leave. Therefore, I want to entrust her to manage this country. Please believe me, she is the most suitable person, and she will lead you to a brighter future. She is, Queen Alice!"
The door of the hall opened, and a powerful aura immediately enveloped the hall. Everyone turned to look, and a beautiful woman came in, she was dressed in a costume,
The temperament is noble. More importantly, for some reason, every Baaler who saw her felt a sense of familiarity. For the Baal people, Alice is their mother of all living beings. Even after countless years, the blood flowing in their bodies still clearly pointed out this point.
Letting Alice manage the Shadow Kingdom instead of him, Allen is convinced that this is an extremely correct decision. The Baal originated from Alice, and these were supposed to be her subjects. And this time, Ellen simply returned her subjects.
No one dared to question Allen's decision. Coupled with Alice's special aura, the change of the throne went smoothly. After Alice sat on the throne on the high platform, Alan left quietly.
The next day, walking into the garden of the palace, Alice saw Alan squatting in front of a pair of tombstones. She said softly, "These are the two sisters you mentioned."
Allen stood up, nodded and said, "If possible, please let them continue to sleep here."
"As long as I'm here, no one will dare to touch their tombstones." Alice said, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes."
"This scene is so similar to when the creator left." Alice was a little disappointed.
Allen walked up to her and hugged her. Alice froze at first, then relaxed. She hugged Alan tightly, and felt Lan Jie's warmth on his body. Allen said softly: "I am different from your creator. I will not leave forever. If I have time, I will come to visit you. Thank you for everything you have done for me, Alice. Unfortunately, Shana is determined to seek death. Otherwise, with her by your side, you will not be lonely."
Alice let him go. Although she was reluctant to part with his warmth, Allen was not Ranger after all. Not her father, she smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, managing the country is also an interesting attempt for me. At least, my interest can last for about a hundred years. And, I decided to have a relationship."
Allen laughed and said, "That must be an interesting thing, believe me. Find someone you love who also loves you. You will find that the world is more exciting than ever before."
Alice laughed and said, "It's a pity that I can't go to your wedding."
"It's okay, I did receive your blessing."
Allen took two steps back, "Then, I'm leaving."
"I look forward to meeting little Leian next time we meet."
"Yes. Alice, Your Majesty, take care." Allen turned around, a space door opened, he walked in, and disappeared into the garden.
