Adversity.
Deep in the city where the fog had long since dissipated, in front of the Yellow Duck Cottage that led to the 'Grave' world, the place had been occupied by a storm and a small camp had been established.
Lin Shu, a Storm Major of rank 5, has been in charge of the camp since Colonel Blue Dragon led the team into the 'grave'.
He was in the habit of taking notes, so today he took out a notebook and started recording as usual.
"It's been more than a week, and Colonel Blue Dragon and his men still haven't returned to rest. I can't help but feel a little worried, worried that something might happen to the colonel and his men."
"General Feimei and the bishop of the church joined forces and finally repelled the terrifying, huge monster three days ago. It left the city and headed for an unknown distance. It is unlikely to appear in the short term."
"All we can do next is wait, only wait."
"I hope that Colonel Blue Dragon and his comrades can return safely. But this is the adverse world, this is the 'graveyard', so I don't have much confidence."
After writing down the date, the young major in his early thirties sighed softly and took out a photo.
The photo shows a beautiful and graceful woman holding a child of three or four years old.
The major stroked the photo gently, looking at it intently.
He didn't notice until the footsteps came outside the tent. Lin Shu quickly hid the photo, his eyes sharpened, and he looked towards the door.
A soldier came in, wearing a full-coverage helmet, with a look of excitement on his face: "I'm back!"
"Major, Commander Blue Dragon and the others are back!"
Lin Shu's eyes sparkled and he stood up suddenly: "Really? Colonel Lan Long and the others are back?"
Of course he knew that the soldiers would not dare to make a fuss about such things, but for a moment, they just couldn't believe their ears.
Without waiting for the soldiers to respond, Lin Shu had already opened the tent and walked out, bringing the officers and soldiers from the camp and hurried to the Yellow Duck Hut.
In front of the hut, the soldiers brought back by Lan Long were covered in dust and did not take a rest. Instead, they formed a circle and set up a cordon to keep the officers and soldiers in the camp out.
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "What are you doing? Get out of the way. I want to see Colonel Lan Long."
"I'm sorry, sir, this is the colonel's order. Please stay here for the time being."
Lin Shu looked stunned, and again doubted whether he had heard it wrongly. At this time, he heard the voice of Colonel Lan Long.
"Lin Shu, wait a minute, don't come over yet, I have something to deal with."
Lin Shu then saw that Colonel Lan Long and the tall Hong Xiang were standing together, blocking his view. There seemed to be someone else behind these two colonels.
The person whose figure was blocked by the two colonels was Tianyang.
Lan Long looked at the young captain with a complicated expression and said, "Are you really not going with us? I can plead for you. You helped us so much in the tomb. Without you, Hong Xiang and Dan Qing might not be able to come back."
"Me too. I think your contributions are enough to change General Feimei's opinion and make her withdraw her wanted order."
Tianyang shook his head. In fact, before returning, he had already thought of how to deal with it.
In fact, the key to the problem does not lie with Feimei.
The crux of the problem lies with the lord of Qingtian Castle, Yuan Shu.
If Yuan Shu knew that he had returned, he would definitely take action. Even if Fei Mei withdrew the order, Yuan Shu would still deal with him.
By then, even if colonels like Lan Long supported him emotionally, it would be good enough if they could remain neutral in action.
Seeing that Tianyang was determined to do so, Lan Long had no choice but to nod: "In that case, take care of yourself."
Tian Yang hummed, thought for a moment, and said, "Colonel Lan Long, perhaps you will think I am trying to sow discord. But I would still like to ask you to tell General Fei Mei to be careful of the city lord and Yuan Shu."
"I think he might push Skyfort into an irretrievable situation."
Lan Long's whole body was shocked. He couldn't help but glance at Xue Yan in the hut, and then said, "I can't comment on what you said, but I will pass on my message."
Tian Yang smiled and said, "When you see Captain Han Shu, tell him you're sorry for me. I won't go back."
He then entered the hut and closed the door.
Standing in the Yellow Duck House, Tianyang looked at his father, Xingluo and Xueyan: "Then, let's go too."
He snapped his fingers, and the door between the cracks opened. On the other side of the door was the drifting town.
Su Lie, who had already taken off his mask, said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to have this ability. What kind of ability is this?"
"It's a long story. Let's leave here first." Tianyang pushed his father, as if afraid that he would run away, and pushed him into the crack door first.
Xing Luo naturally did not hesitate and followed Tian Yang through the gate. Xue Yan looked back before leaving.
Tianyang closed the door only after everyone entered the drifting town.
Outside the Yellow Duck House, the three colonels looked at each other. After a moment, Lan Long let out a breath of foul air: "Let's go too. Next, there are many things that need to be reported to the general. But before that, I suggest concealing the deeds of Tianyang and that man. This is probably the only thing we can do for them. What do you think?"
Hong Xiang nodded vigorously: "I have no objection."
Danqing also folded his hands and said, "I agree too."
The blue dragon smiled slightly: "In this case, we have reached a consensus."
He made a gesture, and the soldiers outside lowered their guard. Major Lin Shu came up and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Colonel Lan Long, what is going on?"
The blue dragon laughed and patted the young major's shoulder gently: "Let's talk while we walk."
A convoy left, passing through the deserted city and the battlefield where the two powerful men, 'Mom' and Feimei, fought. Large areas of buildings here were razed to the ground, leaving behind countless huge craters that looked like they were created by meteorites.
Vehicles had to go around these deep potholes, which took the convoy extra time to get out of the city.
A camp has been established outside the city.
When the chariot stopped, Lan Long saw that a large number of officers and soldiers who had heard the news had gathered nearby.
He got out of the car and cheers broke out all around.
Lan Long smiled bitterly. Most of the personnel were killed in the exploration of the tomb. He felt that it was not worth it for his comrades to be so excited.
Several colonels moved through the crowd towards the central tent, while other soldiers went to the medical camp for treatment and psychological comfort.
When Lan Long entered the main tent, he saw Fei Mei, Zhang Dongcheng, Yin Qi, and Bishop Gu Yun.
"Colonel Lanlong, where is Tianyang? Has he come back?"
As soon as Zhang Dongcheng saw the blue dragon, he shouted and wanted to go forward.
But he was stopped by Yin Qi, who shook her head. Zhang Dongcheng stopped only then, but his face looked annoyed.
Lan Long nodded to Zhang Dongcheng imperceptibly, and then saluted Feimei: "Report to the general, we are back!"
"Thank you for your hard work." Feimei did not ask about Tianyang's situation, but said, "You guys go first.
Go down and have a rest. If there is anything, report it tomorrow."
"Wait a minute."
Gu Yun stood up and said to Fei Mei apologetically: "General, let me talk to the officers first."
Feimei did not refuse, which meant she acquiesced.
Gu Yun smiled and said, "Sirs, I wonder if the members of our church have returned yet?"
Hearing his words, Danqing, who had been tricked by the Silver Knight, snorted coldly and looked away.
Blue Dragon was more stable, and although he disdained some of the church's practices, he did not express it too obviously like Danqing did.
He shook his head. "After entering the tomb, we were all separated. It was not easy for Hong Xiang and I to gather together."
"The tomb world is extremely dangerous. We explored it for a few days and suffered heavy losses. We dared not stay any longer and had to return."
Gu Yun's expression changed and he asked, "You guys are coming back like this?"
"You left Lin Ke and the others in the grave?"
Hong Xiang's deep voice sounded: "Bishop Gu Yun, please don't misunderstand us. We are not that cruel."
"It's just that we either didn't run into your knights, or we did run into them but saw their corpses."
"We waited for them for three days and fired flares many times, but no one joined us in the end, so we had no choice but to come back."
"You can't, let us find someone for you?"
Gu Yun's expression changed. He didn't believe that none of his men would come back. You know, the Silver Knights all have some knowledge of the tombs.
If the entire army was wiped out, it should be the Stormtroopers, not the Church Knights.
Something must have happened in the tomb!
But now, Gu Yun had no other options. He had never expected that not a single Silver Knight would return from this expedition. Even though he was a cardinal, he would be scolded if he returned.
In serious cases, you may be punished.
The old man looked gloomy and left the main tent on the pretext of taking a rest.
Feimei then said, "Go down and have a rest."
Lan Long and the others nodded and walked out of the tent. After a few steps, Zhang Dongcheng's voice came from behind.
"Blue Dragon, you haven't answered my question yet!"
The blue dragon stopped and looked at the man who broke the formation. "We haven't seen your Captain Nightwalker since we entered the tomb. I don't know anything else."
"How can it be."
Zhang Dongcheng was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Yin Qi. He could only shout, "Lanlong, explain yourself clearly. What happened to Tianyang? Hey!"
Lan Long ignored them and left quickly with Hong Xiang.
Skyfort.
It was midnight.
In a shed in the lower city, a silver light suddenly appeared, an illusory door opened silently, and figures walked out one after another.
Snapped.
Tianyang snapped his fingers and closed the door.
Su Lie, still wearing his armor, stared blankly at the shed that was now covered with cobwebs, speechless for a moment.
Tianyang looked at him and said, "This is our home, the home we have lived in for seventeen years. Mom's room is over there..."
He pointed to an empty room.
Su Lie trembled slightly, and then a light flowed on his body. The armor pieces shrank into his body, revealing a set of tattered clothes.
He walked into the room Tianyang pointed to and closed the door gently.
