Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Cocolia instinctively took a step back, but could only bump into Hilva.

The latter smiled, opened a bottle of Shuangwaiwai (a popular Chinese drink), inserted a straw, and handed it to her with great skill.

"Here, drink whatever you like, it's on me!"

"...I approved it in the first place."

"Isn't what's yours mine?"

"Heh." Cocolia's lips twitched.

Surrounded by residents of the lower-level area, the two walked away.

Yan Huan sat on the roof, looking down, and couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, they criticize the upper district and the lockdown order every day, but when they see the Great Guardian, they still have to fawn over him."

Oleg sat to the side, his cloudy eyes sparkling with life, and couldn't help but smile.

"They may criticize us, but in our Beloborg, the significance of the Great Guardian will always be unique."

"Heh, that's not what you told Bronya when she came down here."

"...Let bygones be bygones."

Chapter 102 I Respect Hiluva, He's a Man

Upper area.

In the center of the administrative square.

A large number of troops have been assembled.

The silver-maned iron guards, full of energy and high spirits, stood in rows, solemnly awaiting their orders.

Yan stood in front of the army, looking to both sides.

A large number of automated machine soldiers stood on both sides, serving as auxiliary combat forces.

The cable cars in the upper and lower levels were still not in operation. Previously, the movement between the upper and lower levels relied on Yan Huan's light screen, so these automated mechs were the ones the Iron Guards used to assist in combat.

As for Schwarzlo.

The mechanical settlement has been cleared out, but his legions remain stationed in the lower districts.

"Executor, when do we depart?" Bronya asked.

Beside her stood Seele and Jepard.

Jepard, being a garrison officer, naturally accompanied her to relieve Bronya's burden.

Seele, as the leader of the lower district, volunteered to join the team.

In addition, Danheng and March 7 also rushed over.

“Uncle Yang has already gone back. He said he will be observing the changes in the ice layer in outer space,” March 7th said.

Her slender, pale fingers reached into her bosom, pulled out a tablet, and her cherry lips parted slightly:

"The current situation is that the Star Core has abandoned all the lost lands, vigorously consolidated the existing ice layer, and even proactively released some antimatter legions to prepare for our fierce attack."

Yan frowned, then gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! It even knows what we're going to do. It's practically a spirit!"

March 7th pursed her lips, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and continued:

"Uncle Yang divided the remaining glaciers into three major areas. The nearest glacier can be reached in about two hours if a mobile vehicle is used."

After most of the glacier was destroyed, Yalilo finally restored its contact with the outside world.

In the past few days, the Star Train has contacted the Interstellar Peace Company, and its specialists have been coming to Yalilo to conduct inspections and discuss subsequent trade with Cocolia.

The greatest value of this planet still lies in the mineral deposits in its undeveloped areas, so the remaining glaciers, rift creatures, and antimatter legions remain obstacles that need to be cleared.

Yan pondered:

“The Destiny Walkers in the army, come with us first. Clear out the wandering monsters along the way and make a path. Once we reach the glacier, I'll leave the coordinates there, and then use the Thousand Realms Transmission to teleport the rest of us, how about that?”

He looked at the rows of Silvermane Iron Guards and grinned maliciously, "The rest of you, think of a way to get the cable car running again! Your High Warden is still feasting in the Lower District. Just thinking about how she had to come up from that filthy hearth makes me feel sorry for her, hahahahaha—!!"

The Silvermane Iron Guards: "..."

They had heard about Cocolia's mission to chase after supplies, and some of them had even participated in the delivery of the supplies.

But now, she's been dragged to the banquet by Hiluva. She'll have to come up after she finishes eating, right?

As a highly respected guardian, it is only natural to take the cable car. The cable car connecting the upper and lower areas has been restarted, which is in response to the demands of the people in the lower area and can greatly enhance Cocolia's prestige.

But if she comes up and goes through the center of the furnace...

Those residents in the lower-level areas who are hoping for the cable car to resume operation are likely to be disappointed again.

"Yes, sir!"

Immediately, the Fate Walkers among the Silvermane Iron Guards stepped forward.

To Yan Huan's surprise, 90% of the Silver Mane Iron Guards were Destiny Walkers.

"?????"

He exclaimed in shock:

"Huh? Is it that easy to enter the Path of Preserving Destiny?"

These people don't seem that awesome.

March 7th waved his hand:

"What's the big deal? Don't make a fuss. Bellberg's spirit of preservation has long been like a guiding principle, so this is normal."

Bronya looked at Yan Huan:

"Executive, don't you think there are a lot of people rushing around like this?"

Yan nodded.

He thought it was just a little bit, but he never expected it to be so much, like a wholesale purchase.

“How about this, we’ll just take the strongest group of people and move through the snowfield, and leave the rest in the city,” Bronya suggested.

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Under Bronya and Jepard's coordination, a small group of people quickly stepped forward, undoubtedly the elite of the elite.

They were mostly officers, with only a small number being Iron Guards of slightly lower rank.

This surprised Yan. It really is true that the stronger you are, the higher your status. Is it true that no one gets promoted by bribery?

He glanced at the other officers waiting in the Iron Guard and couldn't help but ask Jepard:

"Hey, aren't officers generally all highly capable in combat? Then why not just select officers for the entire force!"

Upon hearing this, Jepard was taken aback at first, then smiled and explained to Yan Huan:

"That's right. Generally speaking, the stronger you are, the greater your achievements will be, and the easier it will be for you to be promoted to officer. But there are always exceptions."

He pointed to the officers in the ranks who hadn't stepped forward and said:

“Take them for example. Their individual strength is not outstanding, but some of them are very good at commanding. Look, for example, the one closest to me. Sometimes my command skills are not as good as his.”

Jepard pointed to another one:

"And that one, although his combat effectiveness is not outstanding and his command ability is not remarkable, he has served for a long time, is very experienced, and has made many outstanding contributions."

Yan nodded:

"Doesn't anyone engage in bribery?"

"bribe?"

Jepard was taken aback.

Then he smiled wryly:

"Such things may happen frequently among nobles or administrators. But this is the army. If they had such thoughts, why would they come here and risk fighting monsters? People without a sense of self-preservation would have found an excuse to desert long ago."

"Are there still deserters?"

“Yes, there is,” Jepard confirmed.

"Just as you said, those people are very afraid of death. Signing up to join the Silvermane Iron Guard was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Once they truly understood the cruelty of battle, they would find an excuse to run away."

What was the final outcome?

Jepard shook his head and sighed:

"He's in jail now. After he gets out, he can only do some jobs to make ends meet. After all, matters related to the military are very serious and cannot be treated lightly."

Yan Huan nodded; the system here wasn't much different from that of the general military.

Especially before the train crew arrived, the situation in Belleburg was extremely dire, so strict rules were to be expected.

“By the way, Executor, my sister…” Jepard seized the opportunity to inquire.

Jepard had only heard rumors about what Silva and Yan Huan had done on the Cocolia notepad, but now that he had met the parties involved, he could ask them about the situation.

"Oh, her."

Yan said calmly, "He abused his power for personal gain and got caught by the Great Guardian. He might end up in jail."

“Uh…” Jepard’s smile froze.

"I admire her courage; she dared to lay a finger on Cocolia's scepter and stockings, and there was no stopping her!"

"This one……"

"What's wrong? You don't look well."

"No, it's okay..."

……

Chapter 103 Lady Cocolia, you don't want anything to happen to your daughter, do you?
