Although Nero staged an interesting episode, it overall did not affect the final speech.
Without the need for amplification equipment, Yalin directly used magic to clearly transmit the voice into the ears of everyone present: "Thank you everyone for attending tonight's banquet. Count the time that has passed since you first came to this new world. After three full years, Ulduar City! This city at the top of the storm has finally regained its vitality with the joint efforts of everyone. It can be said that many people here are watching the city slowly develop. stand up."
Just like watching your own child grow up little by little, it is gratifying to see the city of Ulduar returning to its original majestic Yalin little by little every day, and the same thing is also deeply felt for many people present. It's like Schneizel devoted more effort to this city than Bialine.
This city is the common home for everyone who comes to the other world, and it is everyone's only foothold in this world. Protecting this city during these times has become the consensus of many people.
"Sorry~ I'm not good at saying polite words." Yalin paused and then looked directly at everyone and said loudly: "After coming to this new world, we have seen many new things. I have to say that this world is a beautiful world. , it itself carries the dreams and desires of many people. We do not desire to possess everything, we only hope to leave a paradise for us to survive in this world. But behind the beauty of this world, there are also huge dangers. , over the years we have realized that this world is not as peaceful as imagined, whether it is the battle between secular kingdoms or..."
Yalin stretched out his hand and pointed upward: "┉┉Threats from the gods in the Sky God Realm and many extraordinary beings. Not everyone in this world longs for peace. This world is not as gentle as we imagined, and we cannot Wishful thinking believes that the world will accept us gently and tolerate us. There is a saying that one is born in sorrow and dies in happiness. Peace is never obtained by relying on others' charity. If we don't start a war, it doesn't mean that others won't show mercy to us. Wage war."
Ice shooter Ash in the audience nodded silently, while Rider Iskandar looked at Yalin thoughtfully and then took a sip of the wine in his hand.
"These days, Riodul City has invested a lot of resources in the military in order to deter the enemy. We long for peace but are not afraid of war, but the enemy we are about to face is very powerful. I can only tell you with regret. Everyone, I cannot guarantee the safety of everyone here when war comes."
Everyone started talking, and only those who had been hinted by Yalin before tried to remain calm. After all, for many people who were summoned to this other world, war is usually too far away from their lives. Even Kamijou Touma, who fights for his life every day in Academy City, even though he usually fights fiercely with those with superpowers and magicians, compared to the cruelty and horror of war, it is just a small fight. .
At this time, an elf maid stepped forward and handed a document to Yalin: "Everyone standing here is my friend. As the master of this city, I have the obligation to do my best to protect your safety. Now I don’t have enough power to avoid the coming of war, but I will at least try to get you to a safe place temporarily.”
Looking at the uncertain expressions of the people below, Yalin briefly explained the arrangements, including the prepared habitats in the territory of the Kingdom of Saxony and the stronghold established by Lelouch in the Free City. However, compared to the unstable ones, Free City, a certain territory in the Kingdom of Sachs is actually a good hiding place, where many humans born in the summoning system have integrated into the town to establish a small-scale force, and according to the White Dragon Katras There is no extraordinary power to quietly investigate there, and the Holy City and the Holy See exist at the same time, which makes it safer in this situation where the two sides restrict each other.
The person to be sent out, Yalin, had already decided on the list of candidates early in the morning, but the person to be kept had not yet been decided.
After all, not everyone can be fearless in the face of war and death. Yalin can let the non-special summoned elves, dragons, and dwarves in the summoning system stay to fight together, and even Princess Luo Jie'an stays to fight together. This city dedicates its life, and Yalin can do this, but he is soft-hearted towards Yalin, a special summoner from a different two-dimensional world.
The Saints voluntarily stayed because of their loyalty and loyalty, as well as their determination to protect their only home in this world!
Schneizel is willing to stay. He has devoted too much effort to this city and hopes that this city can become a hub that will change the entire world in the future. Schneizel cannot abandon all of this, at least after deciding to accept the blood of the white dragon. From the moment he transformed and gave up his human identity, Schneizel already understood that there was no way out. The dragon alliance might be able to let go of humans, but they would not let go of the white dragon as their biggest enemy.
President Kim Bradley, Major Alex, and Ice Archer Ashe are all willing to stay. The President and Major regard themselves as creators and commanders. It is natural for robots and soldiers to obey orders and sacrifice at any time, while Ashe Xi has extended his obsession with seeking the unification of the Freljord tribe and building it into a powerful country to the city of Ulduar. In order to achieve his obsession, the Ice Archer will not choose to retreat.
Heroic spirits such as Medea and Cú Chulainn regard themselves as Masters. As Masters, Servants should accompany them wherever they are. But for Semiramis and Iskandar, they may also be Servants. The short time they got together meant that the two did not have the kind of friendship that Medea and Cu Chulainn had between treating themselves as Masters and more as sworn friends. However, they had no choice to retreat, let alone Yalin's death. It will cause the interruption of magic power and make them disappear. The dignity of being heroic spirits alone prevents them from choosing the shameful option of running away without fighting. For heroic spirits, death is just returning to the seat of heroic spirits. Maybe some reaction The hero saw no shame in fleeing without a fight, but to Semiramis and Iskandar it was an intolerable blemish on their immediate glory.
Hiei chose to stay because of his friendship with him and his passion for fighting!
All three girls of the Three Musketeers in the United Kingdom of Yugasol chose to stay. As the eldest sister among the three, Luinai said the reason was very simple. Currently, the only people the enemy can evacuate are civilians and not soldiers.
Among the four people in Tony's academic research group, Victor, the mechanical pioneer, Goddard, the space knight, and the former Kayaba Akihiko and now Heathcliff, all chose to stay. Victor believes that war is the only way to test his evolutionary theory. Is it the right and best way? Goddard believes that he is a scientist and also a warrior. Now that he has become a powerful space knight, it would be a pity not to use his power on the battlefield, but Heathcliff said that in the future After arriving in this world, Kayaba Akihiko, who was a scientist, has died. What is here now is the former leader of the Blood Alliance Knights. This world is the world of his dreams. Even if he dies here, it is his long-cherished wish. Not only that, but also in order to give 10,000 to himself. Atonement for people trapped in SAO and causing thousands of deaths.
But Tony chose to hesitate and ultimately did not give Yalin any answer.
Yalin didn't feel anything was wrong or annoyed, because he was the culprit who caused everyone to come to this different world from the beginning, causing them to leave the world they were familiar with forever, no matter whether those worlds were peaceful or turbulent, Whether they are prosperous or on the verge of destruction, they are the ones who caused them to come into this world and face a war that does not belong to them.
Treating ordinary summoned creatures as soldiers that can be made for hundreds of dollars in real-time strategy games, Yalin already feels that this is the bottom line of his own humanity. If these special summoners are also treated as such consumables, Thinking that they were just tools and items summoned by himself, Yalin felt that he was already the same existence as the cold-blooded and evil-minded Creator. However, he was not yet so cold-blooded. Maybe he was in a different world these days. Li has indeed made his character much more mature and firm through experience than before time travel, but he has not yet reached the point of being completely ruthless.
Everyone here has contributed to this city to one degree or another. Now that they have been involved in a war that does not belong to them, it is infinitely gratifying that there are still people who are willing to stay and fight with them. Now, I can’t force myself to ask for more!
The list is divided into three categories. The first category is naturally the non-combatants who must be sent out of Ulduar City. Mingxue and Nagisa are on the list. The second category is the personnel who stay to fight. The third category is They are combat-effective but undecided personnel, and Yalin decided to give them the right to decide for themselves.
After announcing the list, Yalin finally looked at the people with different expressions and slowly said: "This is the preliminary list. If anyone is surprised about this, you can submit a report at any time. And I am disturbing you here, although the future is full of uncertainty. But at least for today, please continue to enjoy the banquet.”
Just after he finished speaking, Little Bean Edward couldn't wait to raise his hand: "I'm surprised! Why did Al and I have to be sent out? In terms of combat effectiveness, Al and I are both alchemists. Besides, I also joined forces with Al. We have broken into the Demon Altar to save people, so in terms of combat experience, we will definitely not lose to anyone here."
"Edward, what is your purpose of staying?" Yalin asked in return.
"Of course I will fight with everyone to defend this city."
"Don't you want to get your body back?"
"Of course I do, what does this have to do with staying?" Edward was a little confused.
Yalin stared at Wenli, who was standing with Furukawa Nagisa and others, and then said: "I appreciate your courage Edward, but this is not a war that belongs to you. It is not a war that belongs to anyone here. The alchemy skills you and Al possess are very good." You are powerful. I know that you have a lot of fighting experience, but you are just a child and you still have a long life. I don’t want to deprive you of your life here. To be honest, if my power can be stronger, I even hope Send everyone out, I don't want to see sacrifice and death, especially a child like you giving your life for a senseless war."
Edward was a little troubled and a little excited: "I know your good intentions, Mr. Yalin! But Al and I have been taken care of by you these days. I think we should repay your kindness. When you faced danger, we ran away. It’s really┉┉ah!”
Suddenly, Feiying punched Edward in the stomach: "Stop making such a fuss. Just obey my order and evacuate."
"Woo~ You┉┉you guy┉┉" Edward held his stomach for support and stood up, glaring at Fei Ying angrily.
Feiying ignored Edward's angry gaze and pointed at Wen Li: "Before you show off as a hero, you should also take care of the feelings of the people who like you." (~^~)
