Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 1162 Will the person who is loved be happy?

"correct."

Yieta suddenly remembered something: "You haven't told me what you want to discuss with me, Lingge."

It was so comfortable in the sun that she almost forgot about it.

"Well." Linger's hand paused slightly, but soon recovered. He gently pushed aside the girl's bangs and straightened the messy hair one by one. Each strand of snow-white hair seemed transparent in the sun, reflecting the warm brilliance. During this process, Yieta did not resist, but squinted her eyes like a kitten being stroked, and made a sound of "hmm" from time to time, giving people a lazy and comfortable feeling.

The young man asked calmly, "You should know our current situation, right, Yieta?"

"Yes." The girl replied immediately: "We are in the East Continent now, right? When Shelia came to have dinner with me, she told me some information. I heard that you are in contact with a resistance organization called the Ash Guerrillas, right?"

"That's roughly it, but your information is a little delayed. Just now, I have reached a verbal cooperation relationship with the leader of the Ash Rangers, the man who is reverently called 'Ash Hill Eagle' by the Ash Hill people. Starting tomorrow, this war will not only be closely related to them, but also to us."

"Oh……"

Yieta nodded, not quite understanding. She stared at the young man for a long time and suddenly asked, "Does Lingge think this is necessary?"

"what?"

"Do we have to intervene in this war? What will happen if we do, and what will happen if we don't? Ling Ge should have thought it through, right?"

Of course, I have thought it through, but it seems that Yieta still has doubts, so Linger repeated the reasons he used to convince Xino and Rolena, so that Miss Angel knows that this is not only the idea of ​​young people, but also the consensus of everyone. In order to gain the trust of the new rebels and Paradise Township Assyria, you must show your value, and now is the most suitable opportunity.

Of course, in addition to this, the young man has not forgotten the teachings of Saint Shallia. For him, the desire to help others is the original intention of making this decision.

After listening to this, Yieta seemed to be thinking about something.

"I don't quite understand what you said, Lingge, but we are here to help them, right? The Ash Guerrillas and everyone on this land were forced to lose their homes because of the invaders, but they never gave up and tried hard to do something. I can perhaps understand their feelings. War is of course terrible, but everyone will encounter a time when they have to fight. At that time, can they escape because of fear? If they were that kind of person, Lingge would not choose to lend a helping hand to them, right? So, although I have never come into contact with Mr. Grayhill Eagle or the Ash Guerrillas, if there is anything you need me for in this war, please let me know, Lingge."

The girl clenched her hands tightly in front of her chest, her big blue eyes sparkling, as if to encourage herself and the young man who wanted to help others. Linger gently pressed her forehead with his hand, carefully and meticulously looking at this face close at hand, but could not find any trace of reluctance in the angel's expression and eyes. The weak, timid girl who would shrink like a quail when facing a battle, finally one day, she would learn to be brave.

However, the reason she chose to fight was simpler than anyone else. It was not to fight against evil, nor to uphold justice, nor was it based on some innate sense of mission and honor. It was simply because she believed in Linger. As the girl said just now, she had never come into contact with the Eagle of the Ash Hill, nor with the members of the Ash Guerrillas. She didn't know what kind of people they were, what kind of personalities and ideals they had, and whether their so-called beliefs were sincere. But because Linger believed in them, she also chose to believe in them and was willing to fight for those who had lost their homes.

It is such a heavy trust.

The young man felt emotional.

However, there is nothing wrong with this. Not everyone has to fight for a noble cause, just like the sun is such a huge celestial body in the universe, but when it comes to the earth, it becomes such a warm sunlight. Although some people choose to fight for the brilliance of the sun, some people may just be greedy for the warmth of the sunlight and desire to have such a feeling, so they choose to fight.

The grand and the tiny together make up the whole of this world.

"Thank you, Yieta." Ling Ge thanked her earnestly, then shook his head gently: "But, there is no need for this for the time being."

"Eh?" Yieta blinked her eyes: "Why?"

“Because our identities are too sensitive.”

Linger replied, and then told Yieta about Xino's concerns. The most critical factor was that they had long been a thorn in the side of the Witch Society, and the Cloud Whale Sky Island was too conspicuous as a mobile vehicle, and it could even be said that it had become their symbol. Once the Cloud Whale Sky Island appeared on the battlefield, it would be tantamount to actively exposing its existence. Although the 17th Legion stationed in the Gray Hill City of Suare was not a direct unit of the Witch Society, in principle, all Axis forces in the East Continent needed to share intelligence with the Crusader's combat command. This was determined by historical factors. The religious order, which single-handedly opened the Age of Discovery and the Colonial Age, undoubtedly occupied an absolute dominant position in the Axis camp.

The person in charge of the Crusader's combat command is Saint Favrona of the Crimson Church, who calls herself "Grandmaster of the Crusader Knights, Commander-in-Chief of the Crusader Army, and Commander-in-Chief of the Axis Navy." Her other lesser-known identity is the Witch of Strife Favrona.

The Ansas region, centered on the Gray Hill City of Suare, has always been highly valued by the Axis powers because it can be used as a rear base to support the central battlefield. The Axis Navy has specially deployed a force on the outskirts of the Broken Sea to coordinate with the 17th Legion in the city of Suare, directly threatening the core area of ​​the Kingdom of Noah. It is not only the most important resource producing area, but also the capital of Bayvant, which is a political symbol of a country. Once the Kingdom of Noah reveals any signs of wanting to retake the Ansas region, this naval force will immediately land on Josi Beach and march straight to the capital of Noah, repeating the scene of the past.

If the news of the Whale Island appearing on the battlefield was known to Favrona, she would probably arrive immediately in her terrifying Constructed Mecha, the Turbine Mothership Nidhogg? A naval force was enough to block the ambitions of the Kingdom of Noah, and the Kingdom of Noah could not move an inch. A landing battle on Josi Beach caused this ancient country to lose a vast territory including the Evernight Forest. Then, who could expect the army of the Kingdom of Noah to rise up and resist when faced with even more terrifying Constructed Mechas, and buy time for the civilian resistance organizations in the Ansers region?
If the situation becomes so serious, it is hard to imagine whether he will bring new hope or complete destruction to Gray Hill.

Therefore, after getting Xino's advice, Linger changed his original idea. Not only can Yieta and Yunjing Sky Island not appear on the battlefield, but even the most important combat power of their side, the Victory Kingship, must temporarily act as spectators, leaving the battlefield completely to the resistance fighters of the Ash Guerrillas. No matter how difficult their battles are or how heavy the casualties are, they cannot attack at will. In other words, the support they can provide only includes intelligence and supplies. Everything else must be won by Carson Borg and his companions themselves, winning the trust of other resistance organizations, winning the support of the people of Gray Hill, and winning the advantage of the front battlefield until everything is ready. When the final decisive battle comes, the young knight will lead her beloved horse and step onto the battlefield, and put an end to everything without suspense when the Witch Society and the Axis camp have no time to react.

It sounds a bit cruel, but that was what Xinuo proposed. Linger believed that she must have made such a choice after a fierce psychological struggle, right? Past experience told this knight of the Gustaf family that there is no perfect thing in the world, and there is no battle without sacrifice. The only thing she can do is to make such sacrifices less. Yieta didn't understand these complicated considerations very well, but since Linger and Xinuo said so, she naturally followed without reservation. The girl always felt that she had no outstanding qualities. She was not like Sister Xiaoxia, who always guided everyone with a gentle voice, nor was she like Sister Rolena, who could provide everyone with a variety of alchemical props. She was as inconspicuous as dust and foam on Yunjingkong Island, but she received the care and love of so many people. Sometimes she was often afraid that she was dreaming an insatiable dream, and everything would leave and no longer exist after waking up from the dream. Since waking up from the dream, she was so sad that she couldn't eat or sleep. For a simple country girl, nothing could be more serious than this.

Until someone told her that happiness is always taken for granted, and don't worry that it will leave you one day, because it is temporary. Things that leave your life will come back in another form one day.

In your flower fields, under the turning windmills, in your endless diary, and in the depths of your soul that is so satisfied as if you had eaten a whole piece of Saria Chestnut, it quietly emerges and thrives.

How great would it be if that were the case?
No, it must be like this.

Because Lingge is by my side!

"Hey hey hey."

Yieta stared at the young man's face and suddenly laughed foolishly. When the young man asked her what she was laughing at, the girl shook her head guiltily: "No, nothing. Lingge, if you need me to fight, you must tell me. I won't be afraid anymore. From now on, I will always stand by your side!"

Linger stared at her for a while, and seemed to realize that the key point of this sentence was actually the last one, so he smiled slightly, and did not expose the girl's little thoughts, but said gently: "I will always be with you, Yieta."

Miss Angel's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"I, I, I, I'm a little sleepy!" She spoke incoherently and stammered, "The sun, the sun is so hot! Oh no, I mean, it's so comfortable! It's perfect for sleeping in, right, Lingge? So so, I want to sleep too! Um... suddenly I feel... so sleepy... haah..."

She yawned, surprised that she had just made an excuse, but how could it become true? But it was not surprising, the afternoon sun was warm, and she had been in a relaxed state just now. Of course, she wanted to sleep while chatting.

"Then get some sleep, Yieta."

Linger gently closed her eyelids.

"But--"

Yieta wanted to say something, but the young man knew what she was going to say and said softly, "Don't worry, I will still be here when you wake up."

The girl suddenly felt relieved, as if the words themselves had a warm power that was more relaxing than the sunshine shining on her body. As she felt sleepy, Yieta was more aware than ever that she was surrounded by happiness, as if the word had suddenly become some kind of tangible concept, the wind, the fragrance of flowers, the air, the sunshine, or his warm breath, all the time, there was no escape.

No need to escape.

This world is originally a huge embrace for me.

She was embraced and enjoyed all the beauty in the world, but there were people who protected her from the wind and rain, such as the villagers of Avignon.

She is expected to bear everyone's trust, but this trust is never based on interests, such as everyone on Yunjingkong Island.

In the end, she was deeply loved, and that kind of love was like the sunlight shining through the sea, which made the feather elf, who had long been accustomed to the lonely season, couldn't help but be moved. That heart that was slowly condensed from snow and ice in the deep canyon would eventually melt.

Of course she knew that the "love" in her eyes and the "love" in the young man's eyes were actually different, but what did it matter? Love is not important, what is important is "loving" and "being loved".

As long as a living being is loved, he will feel extremely happy. Similarly, as long as he loves others, he can bring happiness to everyone that he does not have. If he loves one person, that person will be happy; if he loves ten people, ten people will be happy; if he loves everyone on Yunjingkong Island, everyone will be happy; and if he loves everyone in this world, then he is the only believer of the great goddess in the world, because, allowing all living beings in the world to live happily in this Garden of Eden, isn't that the world that the mother dreams of?

Lingge, please do not doubt the path you are taking, and do not deny the great love in your heart.

No matter what difficulties you encounter, no matter what setbacks you suffer, no matter what sorrow you bear——

"Please always love me."

Before closing her eyes and falling into darkness, she placed her hands on her chest and murmured in a voice that only she could hear: "I will always love you, Lingge."

Therefore, everyone who is loved will be happy.

Give me some meow
