Garden of Eden.
In the Blood Gate Stronghold, after the expeditionary army returned, the stronghold gradually became lively. However, compared to the past, the number of people was still much smaller. This time, Russen had transferred all the troops he could to participate in the Eboynes war, but less than three out of ten had returned. Only forty to fifty thousand people had returned from more than two hundred thousand troops. This number was even scarcer when distributed to the various bases. For this reason, Russen was even considering whether he should give up some of the occupied areas.
However, today, what he had to consider was not this problem, but the funeral of the dead. The corpses of the dead could not be retrieved, and there was no time to retrieve the nameplates of the dead. They could only determine the list of the dead by elimination based on the list of survivors. In the end, a huge cemetery suddenly appeared on the Blood Gate Stronghold. There were crosses in the cemetery, and these were the tombstones of the dead.
More than a hundred thousand tombstones made one's heart heavy. Even though the funeral was over, Russen, who was still in the cemetery, could not relax at all.
He held his hat in his hand and looked at the tombstones silently without saying a word.
The sound of footsteps rang out and stopped behind him. Then a voice said, "Their spirits will return to this place and rest in peace."
Russen paused and spread out his hands. "So, the President of the Federation is still acting as a priest now? The priest is going to lose his job that day. "
"Black humor doesn't suit you, Russen, and I want to correct you. It's the former president here." Mobius stood upright with his hands behind his back in his military uniform. He said indifferently, "Mobius will not appear again. I am sure that the new president of the Federation can lead the Federation in a new direction. The next time should be an era of peace. A person like me is not suitable to lead the Federation through such an era. If the Federation continues to let me manage it, I'm afraid it will go to the wrong era. "
Russen spread out his hands. "Can you let it go?"
"I have to let it go." Mobius said. "Russen, you should let it go too. People like you and I are not suitable to be on the next stage. Enough people have died. Don't let more people continue to be involved in the flames of war because of our positions. After everything they've been through, they deserve a better life, not a war. "
"It's not up to you or me to decide." Russen said, "Even if I retire, can you be sure that there won't be a second or third Russen?"
"Yes, but at least he doesn't have to appear now," Mobius said solemnly.
Russen narrowed his eyes. "What if I don't agree?"
Mobius laughed. "You should know better than me."
Russen suddenly laughed, "If I don't agree, then the next person who comes to talk to me should be that lord."
"He asked me to tell you that retirement isn't necessarily boring. Moreover, continuing to stay in his current position might not be very interesting. As for what to do, the choice is yours. "
Russen pulled a long face. "Do I have any other choice?"
"I guess not."
Russen cursed, "You speak beautifully, bastard. In the end, I can only make one choice."
"You don't have to complain. It's not like you don't know who has the bigger fist."
Russen sneered, "Then what's the matter with him now? Meddling in all kinds of affairs, does he think of himself as a savior?"
"He did save the world." Mobius spread his hands and said, "He said that he only wants the people he cares about to live happily. At least in the short term, he doesn't want to see war. This is his wish, and we all owe him a huge favor, so you see, it's not a big deal to return this favor. I've long heard that you're good at fishing. Maybe in the future, we can play together? "
"Mr. President, with all due respect, don't show off your fishing skills." Russen snorted, then whispered, "Please tell him that his wish will come true."
"I'll wait for you on Earth." Mobius left the cemetery.
Russen looked at the tombstone in front of him and murmured, "You're only right about one thing. Too many people have died. Light Concealment Society … Maybe it's time to return to the shadows."
A few days later, Russen announced his retirement, and the defense of the Garden of Eden fell into the hands of the young general, Silfa.
The horn sounded, and the entire Demonic Ring City could hear it clearly.
Today, in the direction of the Dark Shadow Fortress, various colors of light constantly shot out. They exploded in mid-air, forming a firework-like light that shone on the ancient fortress. The rulers of the Specter Kingdom, the ministers of the Empire, and even the generals who guarded the gray area rushed back.
Because today, something big was going to happen in the Specter Kingdom.
The shadowy hall was packed with people. The once spacious hall was now crowded with hundreds of people.
Bavari was very excited. This was the first time he had seen such a scene since he became the palace manager. After all, all the important ministers and people of the Empire, including many generals and generals in the Imperial Army, were gathered together. Such a scene was rare. He suppressed his excitement, coughed, and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Now let's invite our Emperor, the honorable His Majesty Allen, to announce a big event."
After the end of the expedition, both the Specter Kingdom and Dobia were greatly weakened. The number of military strength and experts had shrunk by more than half compared to their heyday. Of the former ten generals of the Empire, only Davelyn and the other two were left. The three remaining generals stood closest to the high platform. They seemed to have received the news and did not move. The others were guessing and discussing. It was not until Bavari reminded them again that they finally quieted down.
Then there was the sound of heavy footsteps. Everyone looked over. Allen, dressed in the Demon King's armor, walked up to the high platform, but did not sit down on the throne. Instead, he stood below the high platform and swept his gaze across the faces in the hall.
He cleared his throat and said calmly, "I believe that to many people, I am just a passerby who is not very familiar with me. The truth is that I am not from Agares. For some reason, I am here. Many people should know that I walked out of the Great Wasteland and came all the way here. To be honest, when I arrived in Agares, I never thought that I would be able to stand in this castle, in this hall. But Sbernak gave me such an opportunity to stand at the pinnacle of power in Agares. "
"Now, Spenak and Frius have left this universe to explore the endless mysteries of other dimensions. And I, who do not belong here, am sorry, but I am leaving as well. "
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall exploded.
Bavari, who had already somewhat guessed what was going on, shuddered. The three generals all had different expressions on their faces, but most of them were shocked.
Allen raised his hand, signaling them to quiet down, and continued, "Everyone has something they want to do. Now, I have found the meaning of life. So I am leaving, leaving this place that does not belong to me, to pursue the life that belongs to me. Of course, I can't just leave the empire behind. So, I want to entrust her to manage this country. Believe me, she is the most suitable person. She will lead you to a more glorious future. She is, Queen Alice! "
The door to the hall opened, and a powerful aura immediately enveloped the hall. Everyone turned around and saw a beautiful woman walk in. She was dressed in splendid clothes and had a noble temperament. More importantly, for some reason, every Barbarian who saw her felt a sense of familiarity. To the Barbarians, Alice was the mother of all their lives. Even after countless years, the blood flowing in their bodies still clearly pointed out this point.
Allen was convinced that it was the right decision to let Alice manage the Kingdom of Magic Shadow on his behalf. The Barbarians originated from Alice, and these should have been her subjects. And this time, Allen was only returning her subjects.
No one dared to question Allen's decision. Coupled with Alice's special aura, the change of throne went smoothly. After Alice sat on the throne on the platform, Allen quietly left.
The next day, walking into the palace garden, Alice saw Allen squatting in front of a pair of tombstones. She whispered, "These are the two sisters you mentioned."
Allen stood up and nodded. "If possible, please let them continue to rest here."
"As long as I'm still here, no one dares to touch their tombstones," said Alice. "Are you leaving?"
"Yes."
"This scene is so similar to when the creator left." Alice was a little lost.
Allen walked up to her and hugged her. Alice's whole body stiffened at first, then relaxed. She hugged Allen tightly and felt the warmth of Lan Jie on his body. Allen whispered, "I'm different from your creator. I won't leave without returning. If I have time, I'll visit you. Thank you for everything you've done for me, Alice. It's a pity that Shana is determined to die. Otherwise, with her by your side, you won't be lonely. "
Alice let go of him. Although she was reluctant to part with his warmth, Allen was not Lan Jie after all. Not her father. She smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. Running a country is also an interesting attempt for me. At least, my interest can last for about a hundred years. Also, I've decided to fall in love. "
Allen laughed and said, "That's definitely an interesting thing, believe me. Find someone you love, and he loves you. You'll find the world is more exciting than ever. "
Alice laughed and said, "It's a pity that I can't attend your wedding."
"It doesn't matter, I did receive your blessing."
Allen took two steps back. "Then, I'm leaving."
"I look forward to seeing little Reian the next time we meet."
