Those once-familiar streets are now filled with strangers. Zero walks on the narrow lanes of the slums of the day that look even narrower today. You can see a simple tent on the side of the road everywhere, blocking the narrow road even more crowded. There used to be a small building where one family lived, but now I am afraid that two or more people will be crammed into it.
The population base of the city of Rome has reached a saturated state. It is not because the Pope Hall has opened up all the supplies and used them for the daily needs of the civilians in the city. The daily food consumption in the city alone is an astronomical figure.
But everything is worth it, at least, Paul saved most of the civilians.
The common people are the foundation of a nation, without them the nation would cease to exist. Today's righteous performance in the pope's hall has earned Paul, the young pope, enough respect among the common people. Along the way, from time to time, I heard people add words such as greatness and mercy when discussing Pope Paul.
Finally, Zero stopped in front of a small building. On both sides of the door of the building, there is a soldier guarding each side. Seeing two guards in the slums is indeed an awkward picture, and the appearance of the guards also distinguishes the small building from the world outside the building. At first, some people objected that no matter who lived in the small building, they should not be treated differently, but once they knew the name of the owner of the small building, no one raised any objections.
Because of the people living in it, her dedication to the entire continent is enough to win her this honor.
Her name is Cinderella, and the name itself represents a legend.
When Zero One appeared, the two guards were so excited that they even wanted to enter the building to communicate. Zero shook his head, stopped the soldier's movement, and pushed the door open by himself. There is still a familiar arrangement in the door, which used to be his residence for a short time in Rome. Originally, the small building would not leave too many memories for Ling, but with Cinderella, no matter how simple the house is, it will leave many good memories.
Walking into the simply furnished living room, the floor is covered with a washed-white carpet, and a set of old wooden furniture is placed. On the gray-and-white wall, a wall lamp with a slightly cracked lampshade was on, and its dim yellow light was cast on an unknown oil painting next to it. The oil painting uses simple color blocks to build pictures of the sea, blue sky, islands and sailboats. Not to mention the artistic conception, it is just a cheap decoration, but it creates a simple and warm atmosphere.
On the window sill, a pinch of daisies in a glass bottle swayed gently, so that touch of bright yellow lit up the whole room.
At this time, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from upstairs: "Is it Your Highness Paul? Come up, Hai Wen just fell asleep."
Zero trembled slightly, that was Cinderella's voice. After years of absence, hearing this familiar voice again, the excitement in Zero's heart cannot be expressed in words. He stepped lightly, walked up the winding wooden ladder, passed the corridor, and when he pushed open the door of the bedroom, a familiar figure came into his eyes.
Cinderella was standing in front of the window with her back to the door, humming a melodious tune, and watering the bonsai placed in front of the window. Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned around with a smile on her face, but when she saw Zero, her whole body froze, and even her smile froze at the previous moment.
"I'm here." Zero said softly.
The kettle fell to the ground, and Cinderella threw herself on Zero. The hot lips immediately sealed Zero's mouth, and the hot body seemed to be squeezed into Zero's body. The two of them were tightly pressed together, and there was no room for a slight gap.
After a burst of passionate kisses, Cinderella gasped and separated from Zero. Zero held her face, stared into her eyes, and did not speak for a long time. At this moment, the language seemed so pale and weak, but the eyes meeting each other was worth a thousand words.
"I shouldn't have kept you here." After a long time, Zero said softly, "That way, I don't have to think so hard about you."
Cinderella pressed her face to his chest, smiled and said, "This is the most touching love story I've ever heard."
He burst into laughter again, took Ling's hand and said, "Come on, you have to see him."
He led Ling to the bed, **, a chubby little boy was sleeping soundly. He nodded and said, "Haven, is that right? He is our..."
"Yes, our baby."
Zero reached out and gently pressed the boy's cheek. The boy muttered some vague syllables, then turned over and continued to sleep. Zero leaned down and kissed the child lightly on the forehead. The boy seemed to feel something, he was still asleep, but he "giggled" and laughed.
"He likes you." Cinderella said.
Zero proudly said: "Of course, he is my child."
He took Cinderella's hand again and said, "Have you had a hard time?"
"No." Cinderella gently shook Ling's hand: "I live in a fishing village, which is my hometown. I spent a year of happy time there, and the arrival of Haiwen made my life more Full of splendor. When I saw him, I was sure he was the best gift God could have given me. Look how much he looks like you."
Cinderella stretched out her fingers gently, and gently touched the little guy's chubby face.
Ling pulled her and said, "Come on, let's talk over there, don't disturb the little guy's sleep."
The two sat by the window, Zero said a lot to Cinderella. He mentioned many things after leaving the Western Continent, including capturing the Dark Core by himself, and finally repelling Proseus' army who wanted to clean up the Central Continent. Zero spoke, Cinderella listened, and time passed quietly in this quiet afternoon. It wasn't until Haiwen woke up and yelled, that Cinderella got up quickly and hugged the little guy.
Looking at the time, Cinderella said: "Come on, hold him. I'm going to cook, and you have to change his pants. That, will you?"
Ling Yi took the child, and said in a tone of determination and tone that was about to face a big battle: "I will try my best."
Cinderella chuckled, patted his shoulder and left. Zero lowered his head, and the little guy looked at him curiously. It seems to be a blood relationship, Haiwen is not afraid of life, and even reached out to touch Zero's face, giggling from time to time. Zero patted his little butt and said: "Okay, baby. Let's cooperate once, isn't it just changing pants, isn't it more difficult to deal with than Proseus?"
Facts have proved that there is no direct relationship between changing pants for the little guy and his ability. The whole process was almost a messy segment. After Cinderella pushed the door in, Ling Gang helped Heiwen change his pants. It's just that he was sweating profusely, no less than a life-and-death battle. Cinderella leaned against the door, looked at such snacks and chuckled, her heart was filled with warmth.
Evening meal was average, bread, grilled sausages and a salad. Although ordinary, at this time, such a dinner can already be called a sumptuous one. You must know that the food rations for civilians outside are only allocated a piece of bread per person, but Zero has never been picky about food, and he enjoys such a happy time when a family of three sits around the table and eats.
Haven was still young, let Cinderella hold him in his arms. Like his other two unborn siblings, the little guy has already shown his powerful talent at a young age. From time to time, the water in the glass in front of Cinderella would bounce a few water droplets, and the water droplets would slowly rotate in mid-air, occasionally converging together and then falling back into the glass. With a few splashes, the little guy would be very happy. laugh it out.
"It seems that he inherited your ability." Zero said.
Cinderella kissed the little guy on the cheek and said, "Of course, he is the son of Hai."
"Bis and Leah's baby is about to be born." Speaking of this, Ling smiled wryly and said, "I'm really an irresponsible father. When you give birth, I can't even be by your side."
"But everything you do is for the children, and there are many other people's futures, isn't it?" Cinderella stretched out his hand, grabbed Ling and said, "So we and the children will be proud of you."
This night, Zero of course stayed in the small building overnight. On the second day, it was time to part again. Cinderella hugged Hai Wen and sent Ling to the door, saying: "Promise me, Ling. Be sure to come back."
Zero hugged her and the child to his chest: "I will come back, but when the time comes, I will take you away. I can't be separated from you again!"
"Okay." Cinderella raised her eyebrows and said, "This is the reward you deserve."
Ling snorted, angrily squeezed her buttocks, kissed Haiwen again and said, "Take care of yourself and the child, I... I'm leaving."
In the two words, there is too much reluctance and parting sorrow. Zero smiled and turned around resolutely. He opened the door, put the warm attic behind him, and stepped into the precarious world outside the building!
On this day, Zero traveled to Phacero in a Star Destroyer. At the inner harbor of Phacero, thousands of sails are like clouds, forming a continuous stretch. There are also many medium and large warships parked on the sea not far from the port, which almost blocked the entire port of Phacero. The Pope's Hall has mobilized all available warships to Pacero, and when Zero arrived, he happened to bump into an old acquaintance.
Oran.
One of the Big Three of the rebel army in the past, Oran is now also Paul's right and left arm. The expedition of the Knights is just around the corner, and Oran is in charge of all logistics such as the deployment of materials and the mobilization of ships. When Zero saw her, Oran was followed by a series of secretaries. She spoke extremely fast and issued orders, and then different secretaries arranged for the people below to solve them.
Everything went in order.
After Oran sent everyone else away, Zero said: "It seems that you did a good job, Miss Oran."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zero. Oh, no, I have to call you Grand Duke now." Olan laughed.
"Let's call me Ling, Grand Duke or something sounds awkward." Ling shook his head and asked, "How is the preparation going?"
"The progress is not bad. Now the chief of the Black Wing is driving the army of the Knights towards Facero, and it is estimated that it will take another 5 days to arrive in full. More than 80% of the warships that can be mobilized now are in place. But the number is still there. Not enough, so we will requisition civilian ships and start to transform them. It will take a day or two longer than the original plan when needed. But don’t worry, it can be successfully completed when the Knights’ army arrives.”
"Thanks for your hard work." Zero nodded.
"It's a trivial matter. I can't compare to you. The future of this planet is entirely entrusted to you." Oran said seriously.
"We will do our best. Oh, yes, you have to prepare another ship for me." Zero said: "In a few days, His Royal Highness Paul will personally escort something over. That thing needs a separate warship."
Oran nodded: "His Royal Highness Paul mentioned to me, in fact, this ship was ready early in the morning."
What needs to be transported by an independent warship is naturally the God's Prison left by Gaia back then, and it is also the giant made based on himself. That giant has almost exactly the same aura as Gaia, judging from the aura alone, it is almost the most perfect body. There is no self-will, but it has the possibility of infinite evolution. It only needs a main will to enter, and this body will immediately become a living god.
Of course, these are just appearances. Gaia left some back doors, enough to make it impossible for the main will that entered the giant to come out. With a body, it can be destroyed. This is the prison he originally prepared for Agladis that day. After Gaia's death, the giant fell into Zero's hands and entrusted Paul with temporary custody. Zero is also not sure whether he can use this body to capture Proseus, but now, he doesn't want to miss any means that can be used.
If the opponent is Proseus, no matter how well prepared it is, it cannot be overstated.
For the next few days, it was a busy scene for Faceiro. The materials and mechas that arrived earlier began to be loaded, and at the port, the lifting arm was working non-stop. On the outskirts of the city, the army of knights who arrived one after another set up their tents. The arrival of the army made Facero's logistics quite tight. The logistics work, which was already tense with manpower, is now even more urgent. Oran can only urgently dispatch a group of logistics personnel to temporarily relieve the urgent need.
Four days later, the Prison of God arrived. Arriving at Faceiro with the giants was Pope Paulo. Paul didn't take a break when he arrived, but went around the barracks to cheer up the soldiers. This was followed by speeches during the day and one at night, both aimed at boosting the morale of the army. Seeing Paul running around endlessly, he knew that it was not easy for him to be Pope.
On the sixth day, the Pope was finally ready for an expedition to sea. In the early morning of this day, there was a sudden wave of waves on the sea level, and a sea beast with a head and body length of nearly ten meters rolled over from the other side of the ocean. Although I knew early on that it was a seahorse that Zero had borrowed from Bella Fal, the lord of the Northern Ocean, and it was used to haul warships across the ocean to the Eastern Continent. But seeing so many sea beasts rushing in like a tide, this picture is still shocking.
In the end, they put the cables prepared earlier on the boat on the seahorses, and these sea beasts began to drag the boats away from the port.
Paul and Zero shook hands, and the young Pope smiled wryly: "I really want to go to the Eastern Continent with you, but unfortunately I am an ordinary person, and it will be of no use if I go there. So, my army will be handed over to you." ,zero."
Paul shook hands with the other leaders of the Knights to bid farewell, preferably hugging Black Wing, and said in a low voice, "Try to come back alive, friend."
Hei Yi nodded, waved his hand, and boarded the warship with the other regiment leaders one after another. Zero unfolded the anti-gravity field and continued to rise into the sky. When it climbed to a certain distance, two huge shadows passed by Phacero, they were Star Destroyer Biya and Wacker. Among them, as soon as Bia lowered his head, Zero landed firmly on its big head. The two Star Destroyers let out a long cry, flapped their fins, and began to climb high into the sky, flying side by side over the fleet.
Paul looked at the giant beast in the sky and the almost invisible figure on it, the Pope said softly, "Take care, my friend."
Across the endless sea of radiation, in the far east of the planet, the Eastern Continent has been changed beyond recognition. After being invaded by Proseus's army from south to east and disintegrating the entire East Asian Union, the area north of the Eternal Mountains was scorched. The original vegetation on the land has now been uprooted, the low hills have been flattened, and the landform of the continent is infinitely trending towards the plains.
On this black plain, hundreds of black smoke columns rose, and these smoke columns connected the earth like a tornado, as well as the storm clouds that shrouded the sky. From time to time, the plume of smoke would flash a crimson color, which was the energy of the continent. It was continuously being squeezed and pulled away, and finally entered the storm clouds lying above, becoming the food of Proseus.
This area has become a dead zone of life, and only the biological army of Proseus can move on the earth. However, at this moment, this land is so desolate that even biological weapons are rare.
Today, the army of Proseus has crossed the Eternal Mountains and is fully approaching the Drinking Horse Plain.
When the Star Destroyer Wake flew through the Eternal Mountains, he was discovered by Qin's army stationed at the outpost of the mountains. Without time to wait for Long Hai's instructions, the army stationed at the outpost launched a fierce attack on the Star Destroyer. Wacker immediately recharged and released a high-energy beam, leveling nearly 5,000 soldiers at several outposts in one fell swoop. However, during the process of charging, Wacker was also frantically attacked by the garrison troops, and finally the left fin and the nearby body were blasted through by artillery fire.
After razing the sentry point, Wacker changed his balance and rushed down the Eternal Mountains obliquely. After knocking the towering ridge out of a huge gap that stretched nearly a kilometer, Star Destroyer Wacker fell on the Drinking Horse Plain. To this day, the several kilometers of ravines that the Star Destroyer plowed on the ground when it fell still remain on the ground.
Due to an accident, Wake didn't have time to release the guard in his body, which bought Qin precious time. Emperor Longhai made a decisive decision and led the army into the Yinma Plain. After paying a certain price, he finally killed Wake. On that day, the remains of the Star Destroyer and the fraternal eggs of the inner guards were incinerated. What remains on the ground now is nothing but a scorched skeleton.
A pair of military boots stepped on the land not far from the skeleton. The land was dark red, scattered with parts of chariots, or twisted firearms, and even human remains covered under the soil. This place is simply a living hell, witnessing the brutality of the battle that day.
The owner of the military boots raised his head, and the skylight from behind the radiation cloud shone on Modas' face. This body controlled by Proseus is now the commander of the Black Legion. As Modas waved his hand, behind him, densely packed biological weapons that filled every corner of the earth began to move forward. They crossed Modas and rolled across the Yinma Plain like a tide. The soldiers pointed at the capital of Qin.
The city that never falls!
