"Brother Xia Tian bullies people!" Barbara puffed up her cheeks, jumped high, and dragged the lunch box away from Xia Xia's hands.

Fortunately, the lunch box is very tight and can withstand such fluctuations.

It's just that Barbara picked up a little higher this time, unable to stabilize her balance for a while, and slammed into Xia Xia directly.

In the summer, her body is thick, so she can't bear the impact.

He touched his hands and hugged Barbara in an ambiguous posture.

Barbara is always concerned about the fat on her waist, but she likes it the most in summer.

"Cough." There was a light cough.

The sister next to her didn't agree.

Head Qin frowned and simply closed his eyes, so he didn't care if he couldn't see.

Although she is not satisfied that Barbara may need to share her husband's problems with others in the future, she has accepted the relationship between the two.

Xia Xia is a very good person. I believe he can protect Barbara and bring her happiness and joy.

It's just that Qin, who has been educated by aristocrats, still can't accept her own sister's intimacy with a man in front of her eyes.

Barbara blushed, jumped back playfully, and got out of Summer's embrace.

She smiled cutely at her sister: "Do you want to eat together, sister?"

In front of outsiders, she usually calls Captain Qin, but Xia Xia is not an outsider, right?

Qin was very fond of her, and even helped Barbara straighten her hair that was messed up because of the jump just now: "No need, eat it... It just so happened that I had something to discuss with Your Excellency Xia Xia."

Barbara was very sensible. She went to a corner where she would not disturb the two of them, moved a small stool, and began to enjoy the soup and rice she cooked by herself in summer.

What did the soup and rice taste like? Anyway, every bite is more satisfying than any rare delicacy.

Chapter 572 No matter what the future is, you will be my friend

"Wind" is the most cunning, even if all doors and windows are closed, it can still find secret passages to sneak in.

The nun held the tape and carefully covered the gaps that might be leaking. This made "Master Feng" extremely dissatisfied, and frantically knocked on the glass of the window sill, causing a "puchi puchi" howl.

"Why can't Mr. Barbatos be in charge? Even if the snow can't be stopped, can the cold wind be stopped?"

In the corridor outside the ward, there are young nuns talking. These words and thoughts are probably the true thoughts of most Mond people!

The wind **** Barbatos may have abandoned Mond... We can only rely on the Knights of the West Wind.

Even the nun who fears the gods the most has other thoughts. It is conceivable how fragile the authority of the seven gods, which feeds on faith, will be.

Hearing those little nuns' remarks, Qin frowned, a little dissatisfied.

She is not a god-supremacist, but she also knows that Lord Barbatos has not abandoned Mond, maybe this time he is also secretly guarding.

Xia Xia stood beside her, and the two of them looked at the high mountain blurred in the snow and ice.

In the "Dragon's Back Snow Mountain" that is always accompanied by disasters, Barbatos once fought with "Guardian of the East Wind" Twarin and "Guardian of the North Wind" Rustan against the disaster that caused the fall of "Poison Dragon" Doolin.

"Poison Dragon" Du Lin finally fell, and his blood stained the earth.

"Guardian of the East Wind" Twarin was humiliated by poisonous blood, wandering in chaos and pain.

The "Guardian of the North Wind" Rustan, known as "Youlan", even gave his young life.

"Wind God" Barbatos also exhausted his strength and fell into a slumber for a hundred years.

How many homes were destroyed in that war... Now, will it happen again?

Jean repeatedly asked herself: Lord Vanessa, is the current Zephyr Knights capable of protecting Mond?

Even if she had the heart of dying, she still couldn't be sure.

"Captain Qin, are you also here to see Hu Tao?" Xia Xia was very surprised to meet Qin in the Hu Tao ward. It stands to reason that Hu Tao is not a member of Liyue's political circle, so they should not be familiar with each other.

Qin turned to look at the **** the hospital bed, and a bit of distress flashed in her tender eyes: "Although I am not familiar with Hu Tao, I have also heard the story of the Hall of Rebirth. I admire their serious attitude towards funerals for a long time."

Speaking of which, the Hall of Rebirth is mainly to bury the people of Liyue, and the junction of life and death in Wuwangpo is mainly to assist the soul of Liyue in Samsara. What if people from Mond or other countries die?

There is a large cemetery behind Zephyr Church... Cremation is not popular in Mond, and most residents prefer water burial and earth burial.

What about the soul? Will there be a place like the junction of life and death in Wuwangpo?

"I heard that the seventy-seventh head of the Hall of Rebirth is an eccentric person?" Qin seemed to be chatting in an ordinary manner, without any pretense of acting as the head of the knights, and her voice was soft and comfortable.

Weird? Xia Xia thought for a while: "Well, it's almost, it's annoying... always nagging, normal people can be driven crazy by her!"

Walnut was lying beside him, and he still wanted to make fun of him.

His mouth was full of criticism, and the smile between his brows and eyes reminded me of the days when I was "driven crazy".

"She must be a good girl for you to be so attentive, right?" At first, Qin's voice was so soft that she couldn't hear it clearly.

Before the summer response, he switched to a more formal tone: "I don't know medical knowledge, but Barbara told me that Walnut's situation seems a bit complicated? Does anyone know how to treat her? What is our zephyr? Can the Knights help?"

Of course there is!

"Probably kill the big guy in Xueshan!" Xia Xia was not sure, but he couldn't think of the rest of the possibilities: "I also hope that Captain Qin can share more information."

"Huh." Qin laughed out loud, in a self-deprecating way.

Sure enough, if you can't get around it, then you won't get around it.

Originally, I planned to come to see the walnuts, and then go to Xia to discuss it. Since I met here, let’s start straight away!

The topic was very abrupt, Qin's face darkened, and he entered the topic: "The scale of the enemy cannot be specifically determined, but it is certain that the number of enemies is large, and the Qiuqiu people in the entire Eastern District are all gathered near the Longji Snow Mountain... The sentry near the Longji Snow Mountain. and the village has been completely destroyed."

The Qiuqiu people in the entire Eastern District? The number is afraid to start in the thousands.

Is it Kaia's information?

Xia Xia guessed: The fact that Kaia is a descendant of Canria is basically a certainty, and the Chuqiu people are also the descendants of Canria. Could it be that there are Chuqiu people as his inner responders?

Qiuqiu people are low-intelligence creatures. Even if they are ordered by some powerful force, they will only follow them stupidly.

They do not have the ability to organize, and a large number of gatherings in a short period of time will inevitably cause food shortages, so they will definitely start operations soon.

"Have you attacked already? How long will it take?" Xia Xia was a little excited.

Qin answered truthfully: "The Qiuqiu people as the main body won't travel too fast, but at the most tomorrow morning, they will come into contact with the cavalry on the first line of defense."

Tomorrow... faster than expected.

"Then...what about the plan of the Knights?" Xia Xia asked, staring at Qin's expression, which might indicate whether he was fully trusted.

Qin didn't hesitate, couldn't help hiding, and simply told Xia Tian everything she wanted to know: "There is a huge difference with the number of enemies, this time, we must go all out and fight against the odds... In such weather, there is not much to offer. The choice of strategy, the only thing that can be decided is to go out to the city to fight, or defend the city."

In Xia Xia's eyes, this is not an option at all: "Leave the city? Since there are many enemies, we rely on the city wall for defense, right? Most west wind knights should have no experience in snow combat..."

Qin nodded affirmatively, and explained the reason for going out of the city: "It is true that going out of the city is very dangerous under such circumstances... but perhaps it can avoid affecting the lives and personal property of the residents in the city."

"Our manpower is insufficient. Even if we add up all the reserves, it will be difficult to defend the entire city... If there is a gap to break through and let the enemy pour into the city, the civilians will be in danger."

In order to protect civilians, I chose a more difficult way, but that way the winning rate will also decrease...

Xia Xia couldn't agree, and asked, "Which direction does Captain Qin prefer? Defending the city or setting out?"

"If it's a normal environment and there is a fruit wine lake as a natural barrier, of course I tend to defend the city, but now..." Qin hesitated a little, and there was another main reason why he didn't say it.

At the just-concluded emergency council, most of the public representatives expressed their willingness to advance and retreat with the Knights of the West Wind to protect the city of Mond.

However, some chambers of commerce alliances with heavier voices expressed objections, and they did not want to be in a mess after the war.

Xia Xia did not continue to discuss the issue of choice. He acquiesced to the option of defending the city. He also believed that Qin would eventually make a more correct choice.

"Mond is an isolated island on the slopes, at least half of the highland area will be relatively safe and won't need too much defense..."

"With the IQ and organizational skills of the Qiuqiu people, I don't think they will have any strategies or plans. It must be mainly based on the number of people who are head-on..."

"As for the manpower problem, you can ask the Adventurer's Association for help. Most of them have experience in fighting alone, so they are very suitable for staying in the city to clean up the enemies who sneak in, and they can also fill in possible loopholes when needed."

Xia Xia talked about his rough opinion.

"Is your opinion about defending the city?" Qin smiled, and at the same time firmed up her mind and stopped paying attention to those merchants who smelled of copper.

"Yeah." Summer nodded.

There is not much to analyze about the Qiuqiu people. It is enough to use will and flesh and blood. He believes in those brave and fearless knights of the west wind.

The biggest problem is that Emenroka, who is known as "the strongest in the history of Mond".

Xia Xia saw that that power was by no means within reach of human beings, and at that time it was not in a complete state...

"About Emenroka, what about his descendants? What about his clan? If I remember correctly, "Immonroka" should be Mond's very famous family, right? "

Xia Xia wondered if it was possible to play an emotional card and let his descendants persuade him or something.

Qin Xian answered the last question: "That's right, Lawrence, Gunhilde, Imen Roca... are the three major families that founded the kingdom of Mond, and Imen Roca was also the strongest fighting force at the time."

Speaking of history, she is somewhat proud of being the blood of Gurnhild: "Lawrence's management, Gurnhild's leadership, and Emenroka's combat power... let Mond have its initial glory."

Then answer the question that summer is most concerned about.

Qin showed regret: "But after the development of Mond, Imonroka took the clan to leave, and there are records that they went to the "Munata" side, and then a small part of the collateral blood returned to Mond... After thousands of years of inheritance, the already thin collateral bloodline has been diluted again and again... Now, there is no Emenroka family. "

"A family that only exists in the history books..." Xia Xia frowned and muttered to herself.

According to Xia Xia's question, Jean thought of a possibility: "What was his state when you played against Emenroka? Since we can communicate, is there a possibility of negotiation?"

"Impossible." Xia Xia decisively denied.

He said: "Immon Loka looked at reincarnation in vain, imprisoned the dead, hated the gods, tried to recast Findnir... It is no longer possible to think with normal logic."

"He's probably been swallowed up by hatred and anger... And, if I'm not mistaken, the contamination of those "outside the dark seas" will only continue to magnify the ugliness inside... So, I don't think there is a possibility of negotiation. "

"Hehehe." Xia Xia shook his head helplessly: "After all, he is a dead person, what reasonable things can he expect to do?"

"Did it taint this hero from the "Outer Seas of Darkness"? Qin recalled the records in those documents, and couldn't help thinking: "Immon Loka made a considerable contribution at the beginning of Mond's establishment, and the entire family shed many blood and casualties... But in the subsequent establishment of the country, he did not propose any Request... If you really have such a strong desire to return to the country, you should at least fight for it in the first place, right? Because according to the records, he brought back several children of "Findner", although... those children died when they were twelve years old. "

Xia Xia frowned: "Died? How did you die?"

"I don't know, it's too long ago, and the records aren't that detailed... But after those children died, Emenroka's immediate family left Mond..."

Qin showed consternation and connected things together: "It was the deaths of those children that broke his last heartstring... Did he lose his last trust in the gods?"

No one is driven mad for no reason.

Xia Xia sighed and stopped thinking deeply. The more understanding, the slower the sword-wielding hands.

No matter how tragic Imon Loka's experience was, how many difficulties he had, and how sincere his wishes were...

Now in the summer, we need to be faster, stronger, and more determined... No matter who it is, no matter what the cause and effect, it can't hurt Mond recklessly!

Qin has decided to use Xia's power again, and said, "Tomorrow morning, we will discuss the final strategic plan at the Knights headquarters. I hope you... I hope that Your Excellency Xia Xia can also participate."

Accidentally, he was rejected: "No need, just tell me what to do when the time comes... I trust the judgment of the head of Qin."

"I will be Mond's strength... I have not forgotten what I said two months ago."

Xia Xia looked at those azure blue eyes on the surface of the wine lake, and conveyed a fiery oath: "I will become Mond's sword and Mond's shield, and I will protect this city!"

No more words needed.

The slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and Qin couldn't use words to rejoice at the surging moment. It was as if she had been proposed by a loved one, perhaps even more touching than this.

Because, in Qin's heart, the city of Mond is far more important than anything.

She tightened her thighs, straightened her body, and put her hands on her chest... an extremely elegant knightly manner.

"As the acting leader of the West Wind Knights, I pay tribute to you."

"As the eldest daughter of the Gunhilde family, I pay tribute to you."

"As an ordinary citizen of Mond City, I pay tribute to you."

After the ceremony, Qin took off her bowl armor, took off her sleeves, and held out her jade hand, which represents complete acceptance: "Your Excellency Xia Xia, no matter what the future holds, you will be the Knights of the West Wind forever..."

After thinking about it, maybe I couldn't represent the West Wind Knights forever, so I changed my tune: "Summer, no matter what the future holds, you will be my friend forever!"

As a friend, she omitted the word "Your Excellency", which represents respect, forever.

It wasn't the first handshake, but it was the first real skin-to-skin contact. Without the barrier of gloves, I could feel the temperature of the piano better.

Today, it is hotter than usual.

In summer, I don't want to be so serious all the time. Friends should talk about friends.

He didn't miss the tenderness of his palm, he let go: "Qin, remember you promised me that when I returned from Liyue, would you invite me for a drink?"
