The Chi You continued to fly through deep space. The meeting in the main building had ended a long time ago, and most of the participants had left the Chi You in their own private airships.
This meeting was nothing more than a warning and statement from Kou Ruhai and the faction behind him. Kou Ruhai and the others completely disagreed with the decision to sacrifice the fleet and the besieged border troops in City 0010.
After thousands of years of fighting, sacrifice had become the norm. In the face of the calamity, the majority of soldiers were willing to die, and many were already numb to life and death. However, this didn't mean that the soldiers who guarded the frontlines day and night could be sacrificed for such a reason.
Who knew what more terrifying things would happen in the future if this was allowed to happen?
What chance did humans have of winning if they were still fighting among themselves when calamity was upon them?
Apart from Kou Ruhai who was standing with his hands behind his back, there was only Night's Shadow who had taken off her black cloak. She stood beside Kou Ruhai with a wine glass in her hand. The dark green wine in the glass was fragrant, but she wasn't in the mood to taste it.
"Teacher, is this really a good idea?" Night's Shadow suddenly asked. Her Meiyin had been restrained quite a bit, and she was very respectful toward Kou Ruhai.
She had personally asked this old man to become the chief instructor of Polar night, and he was also the teacher she respected the most before she became a player.
He had been in the military for more than two hundred years. He should've retired to enjoy his old age, but she had dragged him into the whirlpool. Night's Shadow had always felt guilty about this, but she couldn't find a second person suitable to be the chief instructor.
A perfect teacher who could pass on the spirit of Polar night to the future generations.
"It's not up to me whether it's a good idea or not. But they've really gone too far! " Kou Ruhai looked at her with a rare trace of kindness in his eyes. His dignified face was full of wrinkles and indescribable fatigue. "Who are the border troops risking their lives for? They abandoned them just like that, and even sacrificed a fleet of airships? Have they been living in peace for too long and forgotten the hardships of the past? "
Night's Shadow didn't say anything. She had always kept her mouth shut when it came to political matters. Currently, the border guards were made up of three forces: the military's border troops, the player parties, and the night watchers.
The third party was special and couldn't be considered.
Player squads were only under the jurisdiction of the Player Association, and the Player Association was established by the Katas Zhaofei Committee. It was independent of any other forces, and only the military's border troops were under the control of the major forces.
Border city 0010 was not considered a serious disaster area. The garrison troops were all from the military. This time, they were trapped on a hunting trip. They ran out of ammunition and food and were waiting for airdrop support. If they knew that their life and death had already been decided, would they be very desperate?
"Once the tarot cards are used, we will send a team of players to rescue them. However, their distress signal was sent three days ago. It can be seen that the situation has reached a point of no return. If this drags on, how many people will be left in the border troops?" Kou Ruhai sighed heavily. The training of the border troops was something that every soldier in the military could not escape from. However, it usually lasted for a week. Only those who were unlucky would go hunting with them.
However, it was precisely because everyone had experienced those hardships and felt the pressure of the border troops that they respected the soldiers who guarded the border all year round. Wouldn't such an approach make them feel bitterly disappointed?
"Hmph, by the time your people arrive, it will be too late." Night Shadow snorted coldly and took a sip of wine. Her beautiful face under the shadow had a beautiful blush. She was actually not a good drinker, but she especially loved all kinds of good wine. People who knew her well would ask her for help. She knew that good wine was more useful than any treasure.
"Everything depends on effort. You have been promoted for so many years. Can't you see through it?" Kou Ruhai laughed bitterly. After all these years, his heart had already turned cold. He only hoped that a true player would emerge from the younger generation to take on the heavy responsibility of the ancestors and continue to spread the flames of faith.
"See through what? The Supreme White King. This slogan has been spread throughout the seven continents. If he is the person from back then … "Before Night Shadow could finish, Kou Ruhai interrupted her.
"Don't talk about the Five Kings!" He glared angrily and his voice suddenly became louder. "You are already so old. Why are you still like a child? Is the White King someone we can talk about?"
"The Supreme White King." Night Shadow was unmoved. She playfully made a hand gesture of the White Family. Her tone was full of mockery. "Even if he forces all of us to shout this slogan, it can't hide the fact that he ran away without a fight. Hmph, I just want to say that if he really reaches the level of Divine Manifestation and can sense that I am speaking ill of him from so far away, I will accept it."
"Alright, alright. If you can't change this bad habit, how will you take on the great responsibility of the Polar night in the future?" Kou Ruhai's eyes showed a hint of helplessness. He loved and hated this disciple of his. After so many years of teaching, she was the most talented and went the furthest.
However, her personality also caused her a lot of trouble.
"The great responsibility of the Polar night? Master, you must be joking. Don't you have Chen Long, Yin Hu, and the others? It won't be my turn. As for me, I will just focus on being the master of the Polar night. " Night Shadow pursed her lips. She hated being a leader the most. It was too annoying. She would rather study magic and think of ways to increase the level of the players.
"Tsk, you are not a little snake. You are a beautiful snake, a poisonous snake." Kou Ruhai smiled. "Alright, alright. You must have come here for more than this. Let's hear it. It is not like you to beat around the bush."
"Haha, I really can't hide it from you." Night Shadow finished the military wine in her hand and said faintly, "I have a little disciple called Li Xiang. He is the latest graduate of the Polar night."
"Oh? That's rare. Our beautiful Serpent actually took in a little brat who didn't even enter university as a disciple. I remember this kid. He is a descendant of the White Family. Don't you hate the White Family the most? " Kou Ruhai narrowed his eyes, a scheming expression on his face. "Li Xiang is not that handsome. How did you fall for him?"
"You don't have to worry about that. In any case, he is now one of my people. You just have to remind Owl not to mess with my people. Otherwise, let alone a Brigadier General, even if there is a group of people behind him, I will not be afraid!" Night Shadow's voice suddenly became very cold. "Right, isn't his wife that bitch from the Nidri Family? I heard that the son who died was not her biological one. She still doesn't know? "
"What are you trying to do? Don't do anything unnecessary. The higher-ups are watching Owl. This madman cannot be touched for the time being. The Nidri Family is also a big problem. Also, that Kuang Tie's mother is a madman among madmen." Kou Ruhai hurriedly said, afraid that this disciple of his would do something out of line. "I will pass on what you said. Owl will not lower himself to deal with a little brat like Li Xiang. However, he might find a group of aristocratic children to cause trouble for him in the ultimate trial."
"I can't control that. Children can solve their own problems. However, if a player tries to deal with Li Xiang, my nickname of Serpent Beauty is not for nothing." Night Shadow placed the wine glass on the railing. The starlight shone, reflecting a beautiful light.
"This wine is not bad."
"If you like it, I will have someone send you a few boxes."
"The airship fleet is leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes. Didn't you already know? What, do you know a little brat in that cannon fodder fleet?" Kou Ruhai's gaze was deep. He understood Night Shadow too well and could roughly guess what she was thinking as soon as she spoke.
"Not me. It is Li Xiang. He has a friend who is in the fleet. Teacher, do you have a way to help her out? It is a little girl called Wang Chongyue. "
"Wang Chongyue? The one from the Wang family? I know. The Wang family sent me a letter before. There were also a few brigadier generals who tried to test me. This little girl's background is not bad. Her father is only a senior colonel. This relationship is really deep. "Kou Ruhai suddenly realized." However, she rejected it herself. No one can say anything. "
"She rejected it herself?" Night Shadow rubbed her head. She wanted to die? Why was it that Li Xiang's friends were each more strange than the other? They knew that they could not survive, but they still wanted to die. What kind of operation was this?
"Yes. Then there is nothing to say. The Wang family is probably still in chaos. Why don't you let Li Xiang talk to her personally? " Kou Ruhai shrugged. "Li Xiang, you really do care about this brat. What is going on?"
"I can't say, I can't say." Night Shadow hurriedly waved her hand and took out her communication device to send a message to Li Xiang.
There were only eight simple words.
"The airship fleet will depart tomorrow."
After receiving the message, Li Xiang had just come out of his cultivation state. He stared at the message for a long time and immediately sent a voice request to Wang Chongyue.
It took a long time for the other side to pick up.
"Hello, is this Li Xiang?" Wang Chongyue's voice was a little hoarse and tired.
"Yes."
"What's the matter?"
"Don't go tomorrow." Li Xiang could not find any words and could only say this.
The other side was silent for a long time.
"Thank you, Li Xiang."
Then she hung up.
He looked at the Polar night communication device and suddenly felt a little depressed.
Night Shadow's meaning was clear. The airship plan was to proceed as usual. It was very likely that the military had decided to sacrifice them as cannon fodder. No matter what, he could not accept the fact that someone he knew would die. However, this was the only thing he could do.
He was too weak to change anything.
Wang Chongyue had her own considerations.
It was just that this feeling of helplessness made him recall the feeling when Bai Shanshan took Ye Tong away.
Power, he needed more power. He needed to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger could he not be manipulated by anyone.
A certain airship fleet dormitory.
Wang Zhongyue, who had just walked out of the bathroom, was completely naked. A white towel hung around her neck, and water droplets fell from her wet hair. A similarly naked beautiful girl sat on the upper bunk, holding an empty beer can in her hand. The bed was also filled with these empty cans. Only the two of them were left in the dormitory, which was originally four people. It was slightly deserted.
"Momo, you don't have to accompany me." Wang Chongyue walked over and took the empty can from her hand. "I …"
Wang Zhongyue didn't want to leave because the troops trapped at the border of City 0010 were also in trouble. She already knew that her first love, that senior, was also in that troop. She knew that this was crazy, but after having a crush on him for so many years, the only man in her heart, she couldn't watch him die no matter what.
Even if she died, she wanted to see him one last time.
The girl called Momo shook her head and hugged Wang Chongyue tightly.
