Chapter 796 The Last Night

Paul stretched out his hand and pressed it down to signal everyone to be quiet. After the voices of the citizens in the square stopped, he said, "In the process of overthrowing Sauron, there was a man who made great contributions. Without him, we would not have seen the hope of victory; without him, I would have died in Sauron's pursuit; without him, everyone and I could not stand here today. This man is the leader of the Neponic... Mr. Zero!"

The new Prime Minister pointed to zero with one hand, and immediately, everyone in the whole square turned their eyes to him. Zeroton felt uncomfortable. He could face strong enemies like Gaia or Sauron, but he felt very uncomfortable when he was praised by Paul like this. Paul smiled and said, "Dear Mr. Zero, would you please come to my side?"

Su Chaofeng winped, and the two pushed Zero out together. Zero turned around, stared at them, and then shook his head and walked to the high platform. When he went up to the high platform, stood with Paul and looked at the dense crowd in the square, he sighed. If he lost the battle in the barren city, then today's picture will be very different.

Paul said at this time: "Mr. Zero has contributed all his strength to the liberation of our city of Rome. He and his partners have bled and sacrificed for us. Their deeds will always be engraved in our hearts. In fact, you may not know that Mr. Zero is not from our continent. He comes from another continent. Yes, this is the last thing. His arrival is a miracle. I believe that it is the guidance of our heavenly Father, and Mr. Zero has brought the gospel of change to our continent! Because of his contribution, the ministers and I unanimously approved and decided to award Mr. Zero as the Grand Duke of Peace!"

"He is also the first Grand Duke in the history of our New Rome. In order to express our respect, there will never be a second person in the position of Grand Duke. There will always be only one Grand Duke of Rome, and that is our zero!"

Paul said excitedly.

Zero smiled helplessly and whispered, "You don't want to pull me into Rome, do you?"

"If you want, I will raise my hands in favor." Paul replied.

There was another wave of applause in the square, and Paul said, "Now let our new princes say a few words. What do you think?"

Naturally, no one objected.

So Paul stuffed the microphone in his hand into Zero's hand, and Zero had to take it. Looking at the faces in the square, Zero said lightly, "I don't have much to say, but please don't forget. It's not my credit to standing here today. If you want to talk about merit, then it should belong to every heroic spirit who died in battle, every soldier who is bleeding and fighting on the battlefield. Without them, I couldn't succeed alone."

"It's an honor to be awarded the position of Grand Duke by the Prime Minister. But as the Prime Minister said, I'm not from this continent. I'm from China. I have been away from home for a long time, and now I want to go home. I believe that the Western Continent will be able to embark on a new road under the leadership of the Prime Minister and the new cabinet members. Here, I would like to share my encouragement with you.

After saying that, he nodded and handed over the microphone to Paul.

Paul shouted, "The Grand Duke of Peace will be my permanent ally of Rome. No matter where he goes, he will be our Grand Duke. If he asks for anything, I will fully support him!"

When he arrived here, Paul finally put down the last bit of grudge in his heart. After all, in this change, Zero is much more critical than him, and he also has the force he can't resist. If Ling repents and wants to be the king of this continent, Paul can only consider running for his life. But Ling said that he would leave in front of so many people, naturally to calm his heart. Paul is a smart man, so why can't he hear it? Naturally, he may have made a promise now.

Next, Mendrisa, who acted as the master of ceremonies, continued to host, while Paul winked at Zero, and the two quietly left.

After leaving the square, Paul got into a car with Zero. The car left the venue and drove along the road to the west side of the city. In the car, Paul said, "There is one thing that must be shown to you. To be honest, I don't know how to deal with it."

"What?"

"One person, a giant..."

At the end of the street, you can see a high wall with barbed wire. The gate is made of iron, with two shooting holes on it, and you can set up a machine gun to shoot when needed. There are two soldiers on duty outside, and a sentry post was set up in front of them. Paul explained, "This is the headquarters of the Knights in Rome. There is no suitable place in the city at present. I can only put that thing here."

The car stopped in front of the sentry. After the driver showed *, the soldier saluted Paul in the car and then gestured to let him go. Entering through the gate is a square where soldiers are training. At the edge of the square are the officer's office building, five side-by-line barracks, and a row of factory sheds with chariots and armor. The car drove into one of the factory sheds, where many soldiers were on duty, and researchers in white clothes went in and out. From the outside, you could see that the ground was covered with many cables, like a small research base.

Paul and Zero got out of the car and went straight into the factory shed. The rear of the factory shed has been folded, and a tall culture tank is erected there. The nutrient base in the culture tank is bubbling from time to time. You can see a giant seven or eight meters tall holding his knees and floating in the culture tank with his eyes closed. His eyebrows are seven points similar to Gaia, which is simply a giant version of Gaia.

"God's prison..." Zero suddenly came out of his mouth.

Paul asked, "What prison?"

The giant in the culture tank is naturally a biochemical man modulated by Gaia to capture the will of the planet that day. According to Gaia, this biochemical man only has some of his shallow genes. It has a similar atmosphere and gives Agradis the possibility of infinite evolution. It is just to trap him, and then after the arrival of the will of the planet, the prison will soon die, thus killing the will of the planet.

It's just that Gaia died, and the Knights notified Paul of the matter after discovering the tank that day. Paul knew that Gaia had made it, so he transferred it to the military headquarters of the Order. Originally, I wanted to wait for Zero to come back to see how to deal with it, but after Zero came back, he locked himself up directly, so Paul didn't find him until today.

Judging from the current situation, God's prison has met Gaia's requirements and no longer grows, but enters a state similar to hibernation. When he was sleeping, his breath and all relevant information were not revealed. In this way, it should not have attracted the attention of Agradis.

Normally, the prison of God should be destroyed. After all, Zero doesn't want the planet to lose its will and fall into greater chaos. But when looking at the giant in the training tank, Zero rejected the idea.

"Your Prime Minister..."

"If it's not in public, you'd better call me Paul, unless you don't want to make me as a friend." Paul interrupted Zero's words.

"Okay, Paul." Zero said in a low voice, "This thing is very important, and it may be related to the outcome of a future war. If I take it away, on the one hand, it is inconvenient, and on the other hand, it is easy to be noticed by my enemies. So I want to ask you to take care of it. The creatures in this culture tank will not pose any threat to you. You just need to maintain its life. As for the cost of maintenance, I'll figure it out."

"Say this is common." Paul shook his head and said, "Since it is still useful to you, I'll keep it for you. You don't have to worry about the cost of maintenance. It has stopped growing now, and it won't cost much to maintain its life. You have done so much for us and even fought for your life. If I can't even do this request for you, what a friend.

"Then please." Zero simply said.

Paul put his shoulder with a smile and said, "After talking about business, let's talk about the evening reception."

"Rea party?"

"Yes, I specially waited for you to leave the damn room before holding this inauguration ceremony and the celebration party in the evening. How about it? Isn't it interesting?"

“......”

In the evening, a motorcade drove into Rome, which was from Panshi. Paul specially asked Leah and others who stayed in Panshi to attend the evening reception together. Paul and Zero greeted him early in front of the gate. Leah got out of the car and threw herself into his arms when she saw Zero ignoring anything. Lia calmed down after patting her pink back.

She has been worried since Zero left. It was not until now that I saw Zero that the hanging heart was relieved. Other people who came down from the car one after another, such as Hai Wei and Berien, naturally came. Finally, Zero also saw Yula, which showed Paul's carefulness.

The reception will be held as scheduled at 9 p.m. in Paul's own papal palace. The people who attended the reception were all important people. Although it was called celebration, Paul did not make a big deal. Everything started from thrift. At the reception, Paul, the new prime minister, also readjusted the order and appointed a new head.

The Holy Seal Knights still retain their original formation, and the commander of the legion naturally falls on the Black Wing, and he will also serve as the head of the First Legion. In the previous battle, all 13 commanders of the Knights, except Yafidi, have been killed in the battle, which is a headache for Paul.

In addition to serving as the general commander, Yafidi also returned to the formation, but his position changed slightly and became the commander of the Second Army. Next, Huke and Manshan, the two pirate captains, have now changed and become the head of the Knights, which is quite like a dream. Paul wanted to ask Cinderella to be one of the leaders, but considering her relationship with Zero, the appointment on this page was finally pulled out by him.

Unfortunately, Mr. X and Mamiro died in battle, otherwise the two of them would naturally be the choice of the regiment. Now, Paul has to appoint the second-level figures in other legions as the leader* until a suitable candidate appears.

Zero implied that Paul absorbed the few remaining pirate captains in the Trident into the Knights. These people followed him all the way from Fort Cannon and had washed away his previous pirate style and were completely a qualified soldier. And after this period of experience, the people who survived have reached the seventh level. As long as it is cultivated again, it will be reused for Paul one day.

As for how Paul balances the relationship between the old and new systems, that is his new prime minister's headache. Zero is only responsible for coming up with an idea and placing those pirate captains. Paul will naturally not let the seven-level combat power flow out, which is in line with Zero One. The remaining captains will be absorbed into each legion, first serve as a colonel, and then be entrusted with important responsibilities after training in the army, and will not be criticized by the old army.

So far, the pirates of the Roaring Bay have either become officers or regular soldiers of the Order. As for the zero sea god group, it was so quietly disbanded, and finally fulfilled his promise to the pirates on that day and let them return to their homeland.

Two days later in the morning, Zero and Cinderila came to the slum of Rome. The original slum has been cleared, and the residents have asked Paul to resettle to another place, and they will also be separated from the ranks of the poor. Nowadays, the city of Rome is ready to be abandoned, and there is a lot of work for them to do. And as long as you are willing to work, you can get what you deserve. In this respect, Paul is much more generous than Besauron.

As for the cleared slums, a cemetery has been built. At present, there is only one prototype of the cemetery, and many facilities still need to be improved. However, in the center of the cemetery, a stone tablet was erected by the victims who could no longer find their bones in the war. On the Yingling tablet, the names of Mr. X and Mamiro were engraved in a prominent position to show their contributions.

The two came to the Yingling Monument, and Cinderila put a bunch of yellow-green wild flowers in front of the monument. As soon as he put it down, there were footsteps behind him. Looking back, Huke, Man Shan and some other pirates came. They nodded to Zero, put a bunch of wild flowers in front of the monument, and then looked at the Yingling monument and was silent.

Zero knew that they, like Cinella, came to mourn Mr. X. Mr. X can be said to be the first generation of pirates and the guide of young captains such as Cidrera, who is the godfather of the Sea House. For pirates, Mr. X is like a strict teacher and their father. When they heard that Mr. X died in the battle, many of these men who did not shed tears easily cried. Even Manshan had drunk themselves for three days and nights. I can imagine what an important position Mr. X occupied in their hearts.

That morning, the cemetery was silent. No one spoke, and everyone stared at the stone tablet silently, and then quietly left for fear of disturbing the sleep of the deceased.

After more than half a month, Zero returned to the Cannon Fortress. Destiny has been quietly moored in the port of the fortress, and it will set sail again tomorrow and return to the mainland with Zero and others.

This is the last night in the western continent, and it is another sleepless night for Zero. Cinderila monopolized him, and the two fought fiercely for one night before withdrawing the army. **, Cindella hugged Zero like an octopus, and Zero gently stroked her long hair and said, "Are you really not going with me?"

"Hmm."

"Why?" Zero frown.

Cinella knocked on his chest and said, "Are all of you men like this? Do you have to keep every woman by your side?"

Zero speechless.

"All right." Cinella shook her long hair, sat on Zero's waist, pressed his shoulders and said, "Zero, I love you. I can do anything for you. But I have always been from this continent, and I have been at sea since I was sensible. I can't live without this sea, even if it is full of danger, but I still love it. Because I'm Cinella, do you understand?"

nodded and smiled helplessly, "Let you leave with me, not to keep you, but to protect you... and the little things in your stomach."

"I know." Cynthera's face was full of happiness. She gently touched her lower abdomen and said, "This is the best gift you gave me. I will raise him and tell him your story. I will let him know what a great man his father is and that he brought peace to this continent. I've also figured out the name. If it's a boy, it's called Haiwen, and if it's a girl, it's Elise. They all mean the children of the sea. What do you think?

"I like it very much." Zero-pointed.

Cinderella gently put her face to his chest and said, "Will you blame me for being so capricious?"

Zero shook his head and smiled, "I remember the first time I saw you, I knew that you were not the kind of woman who stayed at home and waited for a man to come back. As you said, you are Cedra, the unique Cedera."

Cinella said happily, "You sound so nice. Don't worry, you are the only man in my life. Even if I'm not by your side, I won't let any man touch my hair unless I die!"

She said again, "Zero, don't wake me up tomorrow morning, okay?"

"...good."

In the morning as promised, Ling quietly got out of bed, took a deep look at the woman, and then resolutely left the room. Cindre turned over and seemed to fall asleep again, but in the position just now, on the white sheets, she didn't know when she got wet.

At the dock, everyone arrived. This time, in addition to Su and others, there were more people like Ferroman and other Zog. Zero wanted them to stay, but after all, this is their home. But Froman and others insisted on leaving with Zero, in return for the kindness of Zero taking them away from the living hell. In this case, Zero will not delay, and he is naturally willing to have a more capable force of about the seventh level.

Froman and his people were carrying the necessary supplies, while Zero and Paul and others came to send others to make a final conversation on the dock. I don't know when we will meet here, and everyone is sorry to see each other off.
