alien army

Chapter 525
Outside the courtyard wall, the sound of firecrackers removed the bad luck of the old year and conveyed a festive atmosphere.For the people of Liberty City, the New Year seems to come late, but happiness does not come too late.

In just a few days, they witnessed the miraculous recovery of Liberty City, and they welcomed back the princess whom they missed day and night.In the days to come, they will personally rejuvenate this city that was shattered by the flames of war. They will also unite as one to rebuild their motherland and heal the wounds on their mothers with their lives and blood.The sorrow and humiliation of the past will be turned into the memory of a nation and become the source of power for this nation to continue to grow stronger and revive.

In the garden inside the courtyard wall, Hailun, who was wearing a long white dress, looked at the few fruit trees in front of her with a sad and lonely expression.To regain freedom and rebuild her homeland has always been the biggest dream of this beautiful girl.This dream made her extremely strong when her family and country were shattered, and it allowed her to go through hardships and go far without complaint or regret.However, when everything became a reality, she suddenly felt tired.

At this moment, she is just an ordinary woman, she needs a warm home to rest, and she needs the care of her loved ones.However, everything ceased to exist.

"Time flies so fast, the apricot saplings planted by my father back then have grown so thick!" Hailun sighed sadly as she lightly rubbed her slender hands on the tree trunk.Because she likes to eat apricots, her father planted these apricot trees in the garden with his own hands.And her favorite thing to do is to ride on her father's shoulders and reach out to pick fruit from the tree.That sour and sweet taste contains all the happiness and joy of childhood, and it is also the most precious part of the memory between father and daughter.

Today, the tree is still there, she is still there, and the father is gone.

"There are some memories that we can only treasure in our hearts. Living well is the best way to miss those who love us." Hailun's words couldn't help bringing back Liu Yun's memories, a little bit of bitterness suddenly appeared in his heart, and he sighed softly .

"Yes. But when I think about it occasionally, I feel that my life has not been wasted. After all, I have owned it and been happy. If I hadn't owned it, how could I persist until today, and how could I see the rebirth of the free city?" Hailun smiled, hiding all the bitterness of the past few years.

Liu Yun was silent for a moment.Thinking about when I just arrived at Blue Moon, why wasn't it like this?

"I know you're tired, but Free City still needs you." After a long time, Liu Yun smiled wryly, "So, I can't let you take a vacation for the time being."

"Yeah." Hailun nodded.

"Thank you!" She turned around, looked at Liu Yun, and said softly.

She never dared to take a promise made that day.It's not that I don't trust him, it's just that I don't want him to take risks for himself, and I don't want him to bear a heavy burden.However, he eventually came and kept his promise.

"Thank you for saying it early." Liu Yun smiled, "It's easy to beat down, but you have to hold on to it, otherwise the mission will not be completed. I slapped that boy Mingluo loudly, and he will never let us It's easy. Sorrow, worry turns gray..."

"Don't laugh, listen to me carefully. I will only say what I said today once, and I want you to remember it forever." Hailun gave him a sideways look, and said solemnly.

"Huh?" Liu Yun frowned and looked at her, confused.

"I don't care how many women are around you, a playboy, and I don't care what the future will become. From this moment on, I entrust myself to you, and I will be your woman. Whether you want it or not, please remember Hold on, if you die, I will definitely live alone!"

Hailun blushed and quickly finished these few words, then turned her back.

Liu Yun was stunned for a long while before he came back to his senses.

"Is this a confession?" He asked innocently.

"Get out!" Hailun bit her lip and cursed.This guy actually molested her after she mustered up all the courage in this life to say these few words, it is really hateful.

"When the fishing village woke up and saw you, I was astonished. Holding hands among the bones, my heart trembled. Hand in hand to fight the battlefield, I was as far away as ever. When there was no news from the sea and the sky, I realized that I couldn't miss you. So, I came here Standing, for Naya's sake, and for you. I was reluctant to say many things, because I was afraid that you would feel wronged." Accompanied by an affectionate voice, a pair of arms wrapped around Hailun's waist, embracing her in a thick embrace. chest.

"I am willing to depend on you for life and death, and I will never leave you in this life." Liu Yun whispered in her ear.

Hailun looked back and looked up at his eyes filled with crystal clear tears.

"I went to Lanyue, you came to Standing, and we finally got together." She wept softly, "If it is fate, I thank it for bringing you to me, making me no longer lonely, and letting me have something to rely on .Liuyun, I love you!"

After finishing speaking, Hailun quietly fell on his chest.

"If one day I leave this world to go elsewhere, will you come with me?" Liu Yun asked in a low voice.

"You are my whole world, I will naturally follow you." Hailun nodded.

Liu Yun hugged her even tighter.Wordless warmth and happiness are silently conveyed between the two.

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance.

Hailun left Liuyun's embrace and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

A Tianyu female soldier came over. "Princess, please see General Merton."

"Ask him to come in." After Hai Lun finished speaking, he took Liu Yun's hand and sat down at the stone table by the small lake in the garden.

"Princess, I interrupted your rest." Merton stepped forward, bowed to Hailun, and smiled.Immediately, his eyes fell on Liu Yun who was beside Hailun, looking a little surprised.

"General, please sit down!" Hailun smiled and motioned him to sit down, "The person next to me is the commander of the Continental Allied Forces you have always wanted to see, Prince Alan of the Central Plains Kingdom."

"Sure enough, a hero is a boy!" Merton hurriedly stood up, and bowed deeply to Liuyun, "Commander, please accept Morton's bow!"

"They're all on our own, so there's no need to be polite!" Liu Yun stood up and returned the courtesy.

Merton brought the latest news about the Free Cities.At present, the Freedom League has successfully taken over six provinces across the country and organized a free army of nearly 10 people.Half of these troops are stationed in various parts of the country to further eliminate Koslin's wandering soldiers.And the other half are being ordered to march towards Liberty City, preparing to add a series of Continental Allied Forces.At the same time, the establishment of temporary regimes in various places has been basically completed, and the production and life of the people have returned to normal.The most urgent thing at the moment is to restore the central government, restore the status of the free city-state, and at the same time issue various central government orders to put the country on a normal track.The purpose of Merton's trip was mainly to ask Hylun for instructions on the establishment of a central government and the national system.

Hailun has been listening carefully, while Liuyun has been eating the fruits and snacks on the table.

"Are you very hungry?" After Merton finished speaking, Hailun finally couldn't help it, and turned to stare at Liu Yun and asked.

"I just think eating is more comfortable than discussing politics." Liu Yun replied.

"Okay, you continue to eat." Hylon gave him a helpless look, "General Merton, what's your opinion on the establishment of the central government?"

"I suggest that we first select a few people from the veterans of the Freedom Alliance to form a temporary cabinet—" Merton reported the results of the non-stop discussions over the past few days to Hyland.

"I agree with all of these. During this process, just pay attention to one issue: the spirit of freedom is the immortal soul of a country, and the people must be allowed to enjoy enough freedom." Hailun added after he finished speaking.

"This is also our consensus," Merton said.

"Anything else?"

"There are two more questions. One is to ask the princess to determine the time for enthronement as soon as possible to boost the morale of the people. The second is that we suggest sending a general to lead [-] free troops to join the Continental Allied Forces to jointly attack the Koslin Empire."

After hearing this, Hailun frowned and fell into deep thought.

"I'm not a queen!" After a while, she said decisively.

"What? Princess, this, this—" Merton's complexion changed drastically, and he looked at Hailun nervously.You must know that she is not only the spiritual leader of the fighters of the Freedom League, but also the goddess in the hearts of the people of the whole country, and the only legal heir to the head of state.No one else could sit securely in that position except her.

"Eating guy, did you hear what I said?" Hailun said angrily.

"I heard it. It's a good thing to be a queen. You can't shirk the will of the army and the will of the people! Looking at the current situation, you deserve it, and you deserve it if you don't." Liu Yun didn't even raise his head.

"If one day the queen is kidnapped and disappears, won't the country be in chaos again?" Hailun leaned over and said bitterly in Liuyun's ear.This guy understood her intentions, but he was not in a hurry at all, and he didn't give any advice for himself.

"You promise first, I have a clever plan to help you. This queen is just a cover, it looks good there." Liu Yun whispered.

Merton watched the two whispering, feeling very anxious in his heart, but he could only act anxiously.

"Princess, you can't leave us alone!" He waited for the two of them to finish speaking, and said hastily.

"Okay, I'll take it, let's do it! But you have to listen to me for the relevant arrangements." Hailun said helplessly.

"Great!" Merton was overjoyed when he heard that.

"As for the second matter, you have to ask our commander-in-chief." Hai Lun pointed to Liu Yun.

"Freedom Army, I don't want it." Liu Yun shook his head.

"Why?" Merton looked at him in surprise.As the commander-in-chief, don't you think you have too many soldiers?

"It's useless. The soldiers are good but not too many. If there are too many, they will be cannon fodder." Liu Yun's concise answer chilled Merton's enthusiasm.

"The commander-in-chief looks down on the Freedom Army? Most of the 5 people are veterans who have experienced battles, and they are the strength we have accumulated through untold hardships." Merton felt very uncomfortable.When fighting Liberty City, he didn't use members of the Freedom League, he only arranged an errand for taking prisoners.Now the Free City-State has been rebuilt with the help of the Continental Allied Forces. Because of gratitude, he managed to gather 5 people to join the Allied Forces, but was turned away.

"I don't look down on the Freedom Army. On the contrary, I respect this group of soldiers who have been fighting for the country for a long time." Liu Yun said seriously, "But I really don't need these people, because what we have to deal with is not only the Koslin army , and the demon king hiding in the dark. These veterans have been out of battle for a long time, without sophisticated equipment, and without systematic training. Also, they gather together temporarily, and the soldiers don’t know their generals. Too many suffering nations, make unnecessary sacrifices!"

What he said left Merton speechless.

"Master Commander, you have to let us do our best!" He said eagerly.

"The base camp of the Continental Allied Forces will be located in Liberty City. Your army only needs to protect the base camp and provide logistical support for the Allied Forces. After a while, after the war expands, the equipment, supplies, and troops of all races from all countries will be sent to you." Centralizing Liberty City is not an easy task," Liu Yun said.

"The Commander-in-Chief is right. Listen to him about this matter." Hylon said to Merton, "The Freedom Army must protect everyone in the base camp at all costs!"

"Yes!" Merton nodded solemnly.

"The information from the Freedom Alliance in the last two days shows that there may be major changes within the Koslin Empire." After Merton left, Liu Yun said to Hailun, "Let's go, let's visit the famous gravedigger together."
