"You're all back!" With a hint of trance in his eyes, the world covered in ice and snow with countless corpses gradually overlapped with the street in front of him, and then slowly dissipated.
It was not until this moment that she finally let go of the last bit of grudge in her heart and the last bit of worry.
"...Miss Bronya?" A hesitant voice called out from not far away. Then Jeppard, dressed in military uniform, ran over with several Silver Mane Guards. He looked at Bronya in surprise and said, "Why are you here? The Grand Guardian couldn't find you anywhere. He has ordered all the Silver Mane Guards in the city to search for you."
"Also, your clothes..."
"Ah?" Bronya looked down at the clothes she was wearing and suddenly realized, "Oh, this, my previous clothes were accidentally torn, and this was lent to me by a friend."
The clothes Bronya is wearing now were actually changed by Himeko for her. They were the clothes of an unknown guest who once worked in the train crew. The original Iron Guard uniform had long been damaged.
"Is that so?" Without any doubt, Jeppard nodded and continued, "Then Miss Bronya, do you want to go with us to see the Great Guardian now? The Great Guardian ordered us to take you to see her after we find you."
"Cocolia, mother..." A complicated look appeared in her eyes. Thinking of what Yu Qi had said to her before, that Cocolia also retained her previous memories, Bronya gently closed her eyes, nodded indifferently and said, "Let's go, it's just right, I also have something to tell her."
"please!"
Moving aside to make way, Jeppard followed Bronya with the Silver Mane Guards. Looking at the back of the stepdaughter of the Great Guardian in front of him, he couldn't help but show a hint of doubt on his face.
Ever since he was suddenly transferred back to the city from the front line by the Great Guardian and received the order to search for Bronya's whereabouts, he felt that the Great Guardian had become a little strange, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
But out of respect for the Great Guardian, he did not think too much about it. He just thought that the Great Guardian was a little tired because he was worried about the war situation on the front line and was busy with official duties.
But now... when Bronya mentioned the Great Guardian just now, calling him by his name and her genuine indifference made Jeppard have some bad guesses.
'So, what happened in the city?'
Passing the sculpture in the central square, Bronya's pace gradually slowed down: "Klipperburg..."
Not far away, at the steps of Klipper Castle, two girls who were chatting heard footsteps and turned their heads to look over.
"Brother, and Bronya, why are you here? And Bronya, why are you dressed like this?" Similar to Jeppard's previous reaction, the blonde girl, who was dressed in rock and roll and particularly conspicuous in Beloberg, couldn't help but look at Bronya's clothes in confusion.
"Sister, Ms. Pera." After greeting the two girls, Jeppard took the initiative to step forward and briefly explained the situation: "I am going to take Miss Bronya to see the Great Guardian now, so I won't chat with you anymore."
"Cocolia..." Upon hearing Jeppard mention the Great Guardian, Shiluwa's face instantly darkened. She waved her hands impatiently, "Okay, okay, okay. Got it. Go! God knows what that woman is up to!"
"Sister, Your Excellency the Great Guardian..." Hearing the sarcasm towards Cocolia in Sylva's words, Jeppard subconsciously prepared to explain, but the words stopped at his lips. In the end, he just shook his head helplessly and followed Bronya to the stairs of Krippen Castle.
The Silver Mane Guard intelligence officer named Pelageya Sergeyevna looked up at Bronya's back in silence.
"Pella?" Seeing the strangeness of her companion, Xiluwa frowned: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, Silva, let's talk later~ I still have something to do!" Shaking her head perfunctorily, Pella said goodbye hastily, and without waiting for Silva to reply, she started to chase after Bronya and the others.
"Pella?!" Standing there, Silva looked at Pera's back, her eyes flickering, and finally fell on Bronya: "Bronya..."
"Oh, forget it. I'm no longer a City Builder. Why should I care about so many things?" Shaking his head dejectedly, Shiluwa turned and walked towards his own machinery house.
"Squeak~" She stretched out her hand and pushed open the slightly heavy door of the Great Guardian's office. The dim light passed through the huge window in front of her and sprinkled on Cocolia who had a desperate look on her face. Bronya looked at her mother who was slumped in the chair, and her indifferent expression finally showed a hint of complexity.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Cocolia roared hoarsely without even raising her head: "I told you, don't bother me, go find Buluo..."
"Mother!" Bronya interrupted Cocolia's roar. She turned around and looked behind her. Jeppard looked at Cocolia in disbelief. He could not imagine that this was the great guardian who was known for his elegance and composure.
"Bronya?!" Upon hearing Bronya's voice, Cocolia trembled and instantly looked up at the door.
When she saw the familiar figure, her face showed ecstasy. She stood up and wanted to rush over to hug Bronya, but when she noticed the undisguised indifference and hostility in the girl's eyes, Cocolia's hurried pace stopped instantly.
"Guard Officer Jeppard, could you please leave for a moment?" Ignoring Cocolia who was not far away, Bronya looked at Jeppard and said, "The Great Guardian and I have something to discuss."
"This..." Instinctively sensing that something was wrong, Jeppard looked at Bronya hesitantly, then looked at Cocolia who was standing there with her head down, silent, and finally nodded: "I understand, I'm at the door, if you two have any orders, please feel free to call me."
After saying that, he turned and left the Great Guardian's office. After closing the door, he stood at the door in silence.
"Jepard?" Pella walked out from the corner not far from the office with small steps, looking at Jeppard standing at the door with a hesitant look on her face.
"What are you doing?"
"Commander Bronya and the Great Guardian have something to discuss. I'm here to help them." Jeppard replied casually, and then he stretched out his hand to stop Pera: "If you have something to ask the Great Guardian, Ms. Pera, please wait a moment."
"Is that so..." The hesitation in her eyes became more and more obvious. Pella bit her lips lightly, and a layer of white mist covered the lenses in front of her eyes as she breathed.
Reaching out to take off her glasses, Pera lowered her head and wiped the lenses carelessly. After a long time, she seemed to have finally made up her mind: "Jepard, I, have something to tell you..."
"Bang!" A loud noise came from the office of the Grand Guardian behind her, instantly interrupting Pella's words.
Jeppard turned around subconsciously, stretched out his hand to hold the door of the office and was about to open it: "Your Excellency the Great Guardian, Commander Bronya, are you all right?!"
"It's okay!" Cocolia's majestic voice stopped Jeppard and the Silver Mane Guards who were approaching from a distance: "It's just a small accident. Bronya and I still have something to talk about. You don't need to come in!"
"...Yes!" Jeppard responded hesitantly, put down his hand pressing on the door, turned to look at Pera: "Ms. Pera, what did you want to tell me just now?"
"Oh, no, it's okay..." Waving her hands a little panicked, Pella turned and ran away without waiting for Jeppard to ask more questions.
"..."
Time went back a few minutes, in the office of the Grand Guardian, with the departure of Jeppard, only a mother and daughter were left in the huge office, looking at each other in silence.
"Bronya..." Cocolia called out her daughter's name tremblingly. She wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't say a word. In the end, she just nodded bitterly: "I'm glad you're okay!"
"Yes, mother, you must be very angry to see that I, your daughter who betrayed you, am still alive!" Seeing Cocolia's distraught look, Bronya's heart softened instinctively, but then the cold and dead Beloberg appeared in her mind, and all her weakness disappeared in an instant.
Only intense anger and sorrow remained.
"I sold my soul to the Star Core, betrayed my belief in "preservation", betrayed everyone in Beloberg, and betrayed the Great Guardian's persistence for seven hundred years, but what I got in return was just a lie, a nightmare..."
Bronya laughed sarcastically and stared into Cocolia's dodging eyes: "Well, mother, what do you think now?"
"I, I did it for Beloberg!" Gritting her teeth, Cocolia mustered up the courage to look up at Bronya, "I just accidentally chose the wrong method. Beloberg has persisted for seven hundred years, and it is impossible for it to continue to persist for another seven hundred years. At that time, I had no choice but to believe in the star core!"
"Haha! Bullshit!" Bronya snorted coldly. Looking at Cocolia gritting her teeth to argue, she suddenly felt sick in her heart: "Mother, no, Cocolia! You are still the same, always self-righteous and arbitrary!"
"You have never considered other people's ideas. You just pursue what you think is right. You are not worthy of being the Great Guardian of Beloberg!"
"Bronya, I..."
"Enough!" With a cold snort, Bronya summoned out her gun without hesitation, raised her hand and shot at Cocolia. A huge roar sounded, and Cocolia instinctively closed her eyes, waiting for death to come with bitterness.
But after a moment, she did not feel any pain. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw a bullet hole at her feet emitting smoke.
"Bronya?!"
"Great Guardian..." Jeppard's voice sounded outside the door. Cocolia spoke to stop them from rushing in, and then turned to look at Bronya: "Why did you show mercy?"
She could feel that Bronya had nothing but hatred in her heart and no love for her anymore. Even if she really shot her to death, Cocolia would not be surprised and would not be angry at all.
Because this was the punishment she deserved. In fact, for Cocolia, dying at the hands of Bronya was more like a relief.
"... Cocolia, please abdicate!" Closing her eyes, Bronya put down her gun with some struggle and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to kill you, I just don't want Beloberg to lose a strong enough fighting force."
"Bronya?!" Looking at Bronya in confusion, Cocolia seemed to have figured something out. She smiled gently and turned to the desk: "Okay, I will now retire from the position of Great Guardian and pass it to you..."
"No, not me!" She shook her head instinctively and refused, but then Bronya hesitated for a moment: "I will temporarily take over the duties of the Great Guardian, but when the disaster is over, I will abdicate and leave Beloberg and Yalilo VI!"
The hand that was writing the document paused, and Cocolia looked back at Bronya: "Leaving Beloberg? Leaving Yalilo VI?!"
As if she had guessed something, Cocolia couldn't help but say, "Bronya, all those things before were my sins. They have nothing to do with you. You don't need to..."
"No, it's not for this reason!" Shaking her head, Bronya interrupted Cocolia's words and looked up at the Eternal Winter Snow Ridge in the distance: "I just found the one I really want to follow!"
"I am not a good successor to the Great Guardian. It would be more appropriate for Beloberg to be handed over to someone else in the future!"
Having said that, she shook her head and said nothing more to Cocolia.
Turning around and opening the door of the office, Bronya looked at Jeppard who was looking serious in front of her and ordered, "Jepard, in the name of the Great Guardian, summon the officers of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, the ministers, and all the noble clan leaders in the city, and order them to rush to Klipperburg in one hour. I'll be waiting for them in the conference room!"
"Tell everyone, anyone who fails to arrive within the time limit will be charged with treason!"
"This..." Looking at Bronya's stern face hesitantly, and then looking at Cocolia in the room, Jeppard had no idea what was going on.
Looking up at Bronya, Cocolia put down her pen and nodded, "Do as she says. From today on, Bronya will be the new Great Guardian!"
"W-what?!" Standing there in a daze, Jeppard looked at Cocolia in shock, then looked at Bronya. After confirming again and again that he had not heard wrongly and that Cocolia and the others were not joking, he slowly came to his senses!
Pursing his lips, Jeppard raised his hand, clenched his fist, and placed it on his heart: "As you command, Bronya, Great Guardian!"
"Can you tell me what you are going to do?" Looking at Jeppard's receding figure, Cocolia couldn't help but ask, "An order like yours will be seen by those people as an attempt to usurp the throne."
"You should know that it is not difficult for the nobles in the city to overthrow a great guardian!"
"I know!" Bronya nodded, the expression on her face becoming more indifferent: "But I don't care!"
"There's no need to care about Beloberg now!"
This Holy Grail War (fog) is a bit difficult to write, I need to think carefully, sorry

Chapter 251 Holy Grail War: First Act: Entrance
In a world with high military power, what would happen if a strong man with absolute military advantage wanted to launch a coup?
Bronya showed it perfectly to everyone.
In the first hour, all officers, ministers, and nobles were summoned to a meeting at Klippeburg;
In the second hour, they were explained everything that had happened in Beloberg before, and the great changes that would take place on Yarilo VI were explained.
In the fourth hour, with the help of his followers, he suppressed all the nobles who opposed him and ordered Jeppard to mobilize all the Silver Mane Guards to set up a heavy defense line around Beloberg.
In the seventh hour, he personally went to the lower area, communicated with the underground fire, and brought out all the combat power...
On the fourteenth hour, he made a public speech, forcing Beloberg to enter a wartime state, and all citizens, except women, the elderly and children, were required to serve as soldiers.
By the early hours of the next morning, the atmosphere in Beloberg was completely different from before.
On the weathered and heavy city walls, countless automatic robots were arranged in order, with Silvermane Iron Guards in blue uniforms in the middle. At the back, Silvermane gunners were mixed with members of the lower-level underground fire, and next to them were black cannons emitting gunpowder smoke.
"Huh~" Bronya took a deep breath and stood on the city wall, looking at the hazy sky in the distance, a trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes.
Although her own strength had greatly improved due to the previous events, Bronya still felt exhausted to integrate the power of the entire Upper and Lower Town of Beloberg in such a short time and build a sufficiently tight front.
If it weren't for the fact that the Beloberg people themselves had an extremely strong "preparation for war" mentality, and if it weren't for the concerted efforts of Cocolia, Pera, Jeppard, Silva, Natasha and others, she would probably still be busy integrating the forces of the upper and lower districts.
"Hey, is what you said before true?"
He was holding a sickle upside down in his hand, and was dressed in a dashing and handsome purple and white outfit. But if you looked closely, it was actually just underwear with a cape and hot pants. His white thighs were exposed to the air, and he was wearing a pair of uneven boots on his feet.
The girl named Hill saw Bronya sighing and couldn't resist the impulse in her heart, so she walked over with a frown.
"Antimatter Corps, Fate Walker, Holy Grail War... We have never heard of these things before!"
Xier felt a little dissatisfied. After all, everyone in the Earth Fire and Lower Districts had been expressing their anger and dissatisfaction with the Upper Districts before. But in the blink of an eye, these "untouchables" in the Lower Districts suddenly had to fight side by side with the superiors in the Upper Districts?
What a joke! He had clearly chosen to close off the connection between the upper and lower areas, allowing the situation in the lower area to become chaotic. He didn't care about the lives of the people in the lower area at all. It could even be said that he had actively abandoned everyone in the lower area.
Now that they are in danger, the masters who have been living a life of luxury and prosperity in the upper class area have thought of the untouchables in the lower class area who are starving? !
Haha, how ridiculous! In Xier's opinion, it was nothing more than those big men were short of cannon fodder and were reluctant to waste the lives of people in the upper district, so they wanted to use people from the lower district to fill the hole!
If the people who made the decision to join forces with the upper district had not been the boss Oleg, whom she had always respected the most, and the leader of the Underworld, Natasha, she would have put the sickle in her hand on that person's neck the moment she heard the proposal!
"I know that many of you are confused right now, and don't really believe what I said before, but it doesn't matter~" Bronya looked around expressionlessly, glanced at those who were secretly looking at her, and said lightly.
"Just wait a little longer, you will soon know the truth!"
"...Tsk!" Seele gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction and looked at Bronya in front of her with an indifferent expression. She felt an inexplicable anger rising in her heart and couldn't help but want to yell at her.
But just as she was about to explode, she caught Natasha's gaze from the corner of her eye, and she instantly calmed down.
"I hope you are not lying to us!" With a cold snort, Xier turned around and returned to the Dihuo team.
Not paying attention to her attitude, Bronya still stared quietly at the distant sky. Looking at the rising red light, her heart gradually tightened.
On the creation platform, Yu Qi stood quietly. According to the agreement between him and "Balance", he was not allowed to leave this place before the whole trial was completely over, and he was not allowed to take action in secret to help Beloberg fight against the antimatter army.
Otherwise, once "Balance" discovers that Yu Qi has taken action, Beloberg's side will be forced to lose.
'In other words, just don't get caught cheating! '
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Yu Qi's eyes flickered as he looked at the few cards he had drawn in the early morning in his inventory. He couldn't help but recall the blacklist that "Balance" had shown him before, and murmured in his heart.
"You were the one who was shameless first, so don't blame me!"
As soon as he thought of it, several cards in the inventory disappeared instantly. In addition, a box of supplies he brought from the continent of Teyvat also disappeared.
'! 'Seven player panels suddenly appeared on the snowy plains on the outskirts of the city, the snowy mountains, and the walls of Beloberg. A huge red dot appeared on the mailbox icon next to it.
"what?"
