The Starting Poem of the Abyss Seventh
The meaning of seven tears
The huge warship slowly landed on the big square of the college, and the students surrounded it from all directions with surprise. When they saw the flag of the Kingdom of Haier Milan flying on the warship, they burst into waves of cheers. The captured Walter and Lewin looked at each other in silence, and then turned their eyes to the warship in front of them. Although they also came in a warship, they were still shocked by the scene in front of them.
The shape of the battleship of Heil Milan is basically the similar to that of Silas, but it is larger. It also adds a collision angle and the bow statue of the goddess Faris. The overall layout is more like a common pirate ship. Simply from the perspective of the fine carving of the goddess statue, it is also worthy of the masterpiece of the country of art. Although I don't know if this goddess statue can really bring good luck to the warship, it will more or less bring psychological comfort to the people on the deck. The two commanders couldn't help but be surprised by the rapid development of Haier Milan. It was really difficult to be sure of the authenticity of the warship in such a short time. Ferdinand on one side saw their thoughts and greeted them with a proud smile:
"How about you two? What is the evaluation of this Durand in your eyes?
"Is the Durand... named after your former king?"
"This warship was named to commemorate our great king. This is our first actual combat warship to fight against you. From your perspective, I don't know how to evaluate it?"
"No matter what kind of warship, after all, it is just a troop carrier or a moving fort. Without an excellent commander, he can only wander blindly in the sky. So I can't make any comments just now. However, I admire your strategy very much, so I would like to ask why.
Is it because we detected your intention before the action? That's all thanks to the Durand!"
"You mean..."
"Actually, before that, Durand had been on trial for a week. Haven't you found any trace of it?"
Walter meditated doubtfully for a moment before waking up with some enlightenment:
"Is the shadow I saw that night..."
"Yes, that's the Durand in the trial voyage. To be honest, we ourselves were surprised by its speed. We thought that there would inevitably be a fierce battle with your army that night, but we didn't expect to leave your warships behind so easily. After all, this is also jointly studied by the magicians of our college and Wangcheng. The painstaking efforts. Later, we effectively used the high speed of the warships to carry out reconnaissance, and your operational intentions were all under control.
"What a beautiful strategy, and it's really a great achievement to fly at such a high speed with such a huge size."
"In order to develop the 'wind energy' that can provide the greatest power, we have hardly slept well. The biggest difference from your warships is probably that your country uses machinery as the power source and we also add the magic of wind and inflammation. However, I'm afraid the biggest problem is that the power of artillery is not comparable to you. In terms of the combat ability of a single ship, I'm afraid it is not as good as your warships. This is also a helpless reality.
"In this case, please forgive me... Knowing the shortcomings of warships, why do you pursue those flashy decorations? And the huge size of your ship may also become the most eye-catching attack target in the fleet battle. Have you never considered the danger?
Fednam touched his head with a wry smile:
"There is nothing we can do. The royal family sometimes needs these flashy decorations to show their authority, and after all, this is our memorable first warship. The fleet and army need a soul, just like the Durland will adopt that kind of construction method. For those who have always taken the military as the main body and have a deep understanding of the laws of war, it must be incomprehensible pompous, right? In addition, there is one thing I would like to add to you that our queen wants to talk to you, and as for your subordinates, she is ready to release them all after the necessary routine.
"That's really grateful..."
"It's really ironic. If it weren't for the war, we might not have been able to witness the heroic posture of warships, but no matter how majestic it is, it's just a tool of war. We can spend so much effort to create such a huge thing, but we are always unwilling to use such energy in the direction of peace... What is the meaning of so-called hegemony..."
"People are just selfish animals. As long as they are driven by full interests, they will make all kinds of meaningless actions and even influence the survival balance of a country. This is also a helpless fate. We seem to be able to do nothing but obey this power of fate.
"So, I really hope that we can find our own existence in the shadow of fate. I hope that the next time we meet, we will not be on the battlefield or on such an embarrassing occasion... It's best to never see each other again."
After saluteing the two, Ferdinand turned back to the student group, and was immediately surrounded by them. As a hero, he has become a prominent star in the college at this moment, especially the girls who yearn for heroes and knights. Not only he, but also Kitk, who is usually un favorable, have been surrounded, and all the members of the swordsman group have become today's protagonists. Walter witnessed the lively scene in front of him and sighed somewhat lonelyly:
"Is it really the world of these young people? Thinking about it, I really envy them. Although the future of the war is still unpredictable, I always feel that they have the power to shake the balance.
"It's just an accidental victory or defeat. Is the general a little exaggerated? Do those young people really have the power you mentioned?
With a disapproval attitude towards Lewin, Walter just shook his head and smiled:
"I don't know how reliable my intuition is. In a word, I can really feel that possibility. You can think I'm talking nonsense in my dreams, but it's not a wrong choice to give the fate of the continent to these young people.
The members of the swordsmen's group enjoyed the blessings from their classmates, especially the girls, and they all looked brilliant. Of course, the happiest ones are those who have not found a partner so far. They are almost melting in the circle of girls, and those who have identified their lovers have long been dragged aside by jealous partners to enjoy the autocratic warmth.
Fednan finally squeezed out of the girl's warm circle. His hair was a little messy, and his cloak was torn several times because of the crowded waves of people, which seemed to escape from the fight. Perhaps on the other hand, the girl was too crazy and enthusiastic. It is indeed almost the same as fighting, and the only difference is that it suffers less. Ferdinand looked at the turbulent crowd behind him, tidied up his clothes with some distress, and shouted Gerald's name, but could not hear any reply. After careful search, he finally found that he was surrounded by another group of girls...
Gerald's mood also roared like a flag flying on the warship. This time, he enjoyed the sincere admiration from the girls. Even if a girl gave him a gift, it would never be to let him weed again. Some girls directly stuffed love letters into his arms... Great luck The sense of blessing made him refuse to leave the romantic encirclement regardless of the danger of his heart bursting, so even if he heard Ferdinand's cry, he just pretended to be deaf and dumb. The unbearable vice captain finally turned his eyes to Kick...
"Hey! Ladies and gentlemen! Lend us your heroes! It won't take too long for you!"
Kick's roar scared the congested crowd out of a path, and Kick grabbed the unknown Gerald and forcibly pulled him out. After finally waking up, Gerrard complained:
"What are you doing, Kik! I'm enjoying the intoxicating aroma from the flowers to purify the strong smell of gunpowder on my body. Don't always break so rudely..."
"It's your freedom to enjoy it no matter how you want to enjoy it, but now at least listen to the vice captain first! At that time, even if you roll into the flowers and don't get up, we won't stop you. Ferdinand, what do you want to say to him?
"It may make you a little embarrassed to talk about this... Gerald, from today on, you will take the position of vice captain."
"Hmm?"
Kick and Gerrard couldn't help but be stunned:
What does this mean, Ferdinand? Don't you want to do it? You don't want to leave the swordsmen's regiment, right?"
"Of course not! It's just..."
Fednam hesitated for a moment and gently "cry":
"Do you know what my father does?"
"I heard you mention that he is the general who took over the position of Xilu's father, the Marquis of Rams, right?"
"Yes, according to the family tradition, it's time for me to join the army, and I will start military service from tomorrow. Because I can't worry about the swordsman group, I want to entrust the position of deputy captain to you..."
"Hey! What do you mean by doing this! Don't you discuss it with us?"
Kick hugged his shoulder with dissatisfaction, and with a little force, Ferdinand's bones began to make a crisp sound. However, it seems that because he was immersed in sadness, Ferdinand did not exhale pain.
"I said Ferdinand! It doesn't seem appropriate to make such a decision suddenly without informing us in advance! Originally, we have the right to be exempted from military service, and you are also opposed to participating in the war, aren't you? Why did you suddenly change your mind? What has happened to you these days?
Gerard's questioning made Ferdinand's face look sad. He looked up at the sky, and tears flowed in his eyes:
"General Lannold encountered an enemy's ambush in the French Plain... and was killed."
The air seemed to stagnate for a moment... Gerrard shook his head doubtfully:
"Although this is indeed sad news... do you mean to decide to join the army for this reason? Do you have anything to do with General Lannold?
"When I was born, I was separated from my parents and family because of the war. It was General Lannold who raised me until I finally returned it to my father, so he was like my father... Although my strength is still insignificant and I can't change this crazy reality by myself, I I can only choose to join the army. I don't just want to avenge him. I just want to do my part to end this crazy war. Only by ending the war as soon as possible can I avoid more such tragedies... Sorry, my arbitrariness has troubled you, right?
"Frednan..."
Kick was silent for a long time and pulled his hand back from his shoulder:
"Have you decided?"
"It has been decided that my name has also appeared on the roster of new recruits, which is a fact that cannot be changed."
"Since that's the case, we don't have to... In fact, it's impossible to stop you. However... it's not like in the college on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will die.
"I know... In fact, when I think of this result, I can't control my trembling, because I'm not the kind of person who is crazy enough not to be afraid of death. And I just found a lover, and I don't want to fight with the enemy at all. But... everyone should have their own ideals, and to achieve their ideals, they must fight bravely. So, I don't want to regret my choice... But it's a pity that I didn't say goodbye to Xilu and loyd face to face. I don't know if I can still meet them alive..."
Gerard punched Ferdinand with a "dong" and roared out with anger:
"Don't say such depressing nonsense! We are the Valkyrie Swordsmen Group, which are friends as one! Whether it is war or peace, we should live like brothers to enjoy our own life! Isn't this our belief? So you guy... even if you go to the battlefield, you have to work hard to build meritorious deeds and come back alive! We want to enjoy your glory together! So leave the college with a smile and come back here with a smile! Otherwise, I will beat you up hard, asshole!"
Ferdinand also punched Gerard hard, but he still couldn't control the tears in his eyes, and Gerard couldn't help bursting into tears. Kick**ed his nose hard and "hummed" with dissatisfaction:
"Two big men should stop continuing this disgusting farce. Just leave tears to their lovers. What men need is courage and strength! Ferdinand! Teach the enemy with the same and even stronger power as I beat you now! Let those guys know that you Haier Milan have no courage to fear any danger for peace!"
Before he finished speaking, Keke greeted Ferdinand with a punch. This blow was really ruthless. Ferdinand bent down in pain, and then he quickly straightened up and punched Keke back. The two laughed and scolded and tangled together, and the girls who surrounded the scene exclaimed. Gerald quickly turned around and explained to them:
"These two guys are just too excited because of the reunion. Men sometimes have such a temper. Please don't make a fuss to make them have enough..."
Despite this, Gerard's tears still surged like a spring, and the unknown girls gently surrounded him again with panic and concern.
"Everyone came back safely... Except for Ferdinand's volunteer to join the army. It seems that the college can also resume schoolwork again... But why did you come here again, Mr. Rogge?
After receiving the Queen's commendation and the list of teachers and students from Rogge, the captain of Selysia's bedroom guard, and confirming every name allowed to return to the college, Baymont leaned on the chair and breathed a gentle sigh of relief, and then turned his eyes to the fully armed officer in front of him. Rogge saluted respectfully, but his tone was full of "unnegotiable" determination:
"Her Majesty has known everything about the raid on the college. Based on the significance of the college to Haier Milan and the fact that there is no necessary armed defense force, His Majesty hopes that students other than the Second Direct Guard must also participate in future training. Please be sure to cooperate with the president of the college.
Bermont's eyes flashed with imperceptible surprise, and then changed to a trace of anger:
"Let all the students participate in the training... Her Majesty's request seems to be getting more and more excessive. Just agreeing to Ferdinand's join the army, I feel that Your Majesty has violated the agreement between us. Now does she still want to continue to do whatever she wants with the authority of the Queen? I have to protest here... although your majesty can't hear my voice."
"Your Excellency, you should also understand why the enemy coveted the college, right? Although this victory is glorious, it is only out of luck, but the enemy may not give up. The president of the college believes that once the enemy launches an all-out attack, how many chances will the college have a chance of winning? Considering that the college has always not allowed the Royal Guard to intervene at will, His Majesty issued such an order. Does the director think this is what he wants to do?
"Let the students participate in training and arm themselves... so that they can block the enemy's total offensive? In the face of enemy warship shelling, do our students have the ability to resist? This way that seems to protect them is actually pushing them into the shadow of death! Mr. Rogge, I don't think such a move will bring substantial significance..."
"Is there any substantive significance? It's too early for us to make a conclusion. At least, those students should have enough self-defense ability to protect themselves in the face of enemy attacks or raids. After all, each of them comes from noble families. If they fall into the hands of the enemy, it will be a huge loss and threat for us. His Majesty also requires students to stay in the college until the end of the war. Should the president also take some responsibility for this? If you insist on refusing to agree, we can only send a large army of guards. After all, in the war era, Haier Milan has the need to take practical measures to protect the college for the safety of the kingdom, even if these means are too extreme..."
"That is to say... is it completely driven by the interests of the country? A few days ago, we have suspended the course of the college in order to assist in the research of warships. If it is affected later, is there no need for the college to continue to exist? I don't remember that the college has the obligation to stop completely for this need, since the first president..."
"The times have changed. Your Excellency, your eyes should also move with history, otherwise you will only fall into the abyss of the past without the hope of change. What's more, we don't have much choice in the war era, and the college is the same. We can only keep up with such a pace. I know that everything you do is based on the future of the students, but how can these noble children cultivate a solid will to become the pillars of the kingdom without suffering the necessary baptism? In the end, I'm afraid it will only become a group of moths. Isn't it for this reason that you refused the kingdom's decision to send a guard on 'Rovard's Day' and formed a student swordsman' regiment?
"However... at that time, there was no need to consider the safety of students' lives, and now..."
"Why don't you regard it as a training without life-threatening? Only in this way can we effectively protect their lives in the future. Does the director have any doubt about this?
Baymont's eyes focused on Rogge's face, and then a smile appeared slightly:
"Today's words were explained by Her Majesty, right?"
"Yes, it makes you laugh. As you know, I am just a martial artist. Those words just now were repeatedly admonished by Her Majesty before my leaving, so I can answer freely in front of Your Excellency. To be honest... If it weren't for your Majesty's suggestion, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk two rounds in front of you."
Baymont laughed and then stood up and opened the window. The boiling scene in the square made him more comfortable:
"You have grown up, Mr. Rogge... have become more reliable. In fact, there is no need for the Queen's order, and the old man has made such a plan. Just now, I just wanted to make a game on a whim. More importantly, Her Majesty has indeed become more reassuring. Although the future of Haier Milan is unpredictable, it is shrouded in sunshine after all. Look at the energetic appearance of those young people. As long as we hand over the future to them, we can safely hide in the room and enjoy the fun of wine. Mr. Rogge, these young people and fate and the future of Haier Milan, please.
"I will obey your order."
Roger saluted again and left the room. After coming to the corridor, he turned to the door of the college president's office and put a mocking smile on the corners of his mouth:
"What did you say is just a whim and want to play a game with me... It's just a bad old man's face. Because of this senseless vanity, the college is always imprisoned in a closed world and unable to move forward. If Her Majesty hadn't predicted this, she might have continued her lifeless schoolwork in this steel-like atmosphere..."
Just saying this, there was a strange sound of "kala-kala" on the wall around me, and then a strange face appeared on the wall, which shocked Rogge:
"What...is this?"
"Mr. Rogge, this is an important rumor from His Excellency the College President. Please pay attention to the etiquette in the college. It is punishable to criticize the director at will. Please be self-respect and self-respect.
Is it the magic of that bad old man again... This guy always does such unexpected but meaningless things! It's just to show off your magical achievements! Rogge snorted in his heart and hurried down the stairs with a little fear.
