【Respect】The Beautiful Future

The emperor knelt and sat in the huge hall, the hem of the black robe stretched across the ground, and the red dragon embroidered on the clothes fluctuated slightly with her breathing, as if it would break free and jump out of the sky at any time.She looked up at the huge scroll on the wall in front of her, and didn't make a sound for a long time.

Reji Munakata stood a few steps behind her to accompany her silently, anyway, the most important thing this man lacks is patience.After receiving the emperor's oral order, he immediately set off and rushed back to Luoyang, the capital. After decisively killing several soldiers who tried to stop him forcefully, he arrived unimpeded all the way.After all, the eunuchs could not imprison or force the emperor openly, let alone in front of Zongxiang Lisi, who held a heavy army, so they had enough time to kill.

There were only the two of them in the whole magnificent palace, the winter was getting stronger, the cool wind was blowing in and lifting layers of veils, time was silent at this moment.

Until the emperor uttered a loud voice, "Zong Xiangqing," she pointed to the painting on the scroll that symbolizes the territory of the Eurasian continent owned by the Chinese Federation, "do you think these are enough?"

Zongxiang looked up, but did not answer.

The Son of Heaven just laughed and continued: "If you think it's enough, the people will think it's enough, as long as you can live. But it's not enough for those politicians, but people like them will never be enough." will not be satisfied."

The emperor didn't care about Munakata's silence. She seemed to have been alone for too long and was eager to express her thoughts that had been pondered for a long time. She said softly: "As long as you can live. Because people live The place they need is very small, and they may not spend their entire lives visiting every inch of land, so they don't care about the size of the territory, only how many relatives died due to the war. No matter how big the territory is, for the lonely It’s just a little more color.”

"It doesn't matter if I think these thoughts are naive or ridiculous, just like the eunuch always uses a sentence that I can't understand at a young age... But I know very well that nothing is more precious than life."

"Have you decided to do it?" Munakata finally asked.

"According to the agreement you made with Gu before you went to Japan, Gu's intentions have always been like this, but I don't know how you are preparing." The emperor said.

"I still have the confidence to achieve what you want." Munakata smiled lightly.

"...Brother Yuzhang has passed away, I feel very sad, but I think it's good to think that he no longer has to worry about obeying orders or following his heart." The emperor lowered his head, put his palms on his chest and stood up slowly , "This day has finally arrived, nervousness, anxiety, anticipation... It really feels like facing a big gamble."

"So... what do you mean by placing a bet on me to win?" Zongxiang raised his eyebrows lightly and asked.

"No," she turned around suddenly, her fingers clenched the dragon's head on her chest with all her strength, her brows were full of sternness and majesty, "I bet I win! I bet I can't see the wrong person!"

The emperor let go of his hand and spread it out to Zongxiang. Only then did Zongxiang see that she was holding half of the tiger talisman in her palm, "Zong Xiangqing, I grant you the military power of the tiger talisman, and you have to do...everything you promised!"

His eyes were burning, and he suddenly seemed to be able to see the appearance of this little girl when she ruled the world.The smile in Munakata Reisi's eyes deepened, he took two steps forward and took the soldier talisman,

"It will definitely bring you the future you are looking forward to."

After speaking, Zongxiang Lisi retreated calmly, but was suddenly stopped when he walked to the door.The emperor looked at him, but suddenly became awkward, "Also, there is one more thing..."

"Please tell me." Munakata waited patiently.

"It's just..." Tianzi bit his lip and looked away for a long time, and finally hesitatingly said with a blushing face, "Anna... did you come back with you?"

Zong Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckled, and the Son of Heaven buried his head lower following his laughter.He slowed down his smile, and his voice softened a lot, "When I come to see you again after this gamble is over, I will bring her with me."

The emperor looked up at him, smiled and nodded heavily after a long time, "Yeah!"

Munakata Reiji returned to the Japanese-style mansion he lived in during the Kyoto period. The flowers and trees had all fallen leaves, and the courtyard was bleak and deserted. It happened that Seri Awashima called.

"What's the matter?" Munakata put on his earphones and pushed the door in. The interior of the room was simple and simple. There was a long wooden box on the innermost table, and a thick layer of dust had already settled on it.

"Everything is as you instructed, the KnightMare troops have secretly arrived outside the city, please issue the next action instructions." Seri Awashima said.

Munakata didn't answer right away, he walked slowly to the table and opened the wooden box, completely ignoring that the accumulated dust stained his gloves.There was a sword lying in the box. The blue scabbard was decorated with a golden plate. He held it with one hand and drew the sword out of the sheath. Qingyue's sword screamed and whistled, and the blade was as sharp as water.

Sirius finally came to his master.

"Stop outside the city and wait first." He gave the order concisely and hung up. He tapped the screen with his slender fingers to call up a number, but he didn't put it to his ear when he dialed.

"Beep-beep-"

After two beeps, he ended the call.No matter who saw the strong smile on his face at this time, they would probably lose their minds for a moment, Munakata Reishi turned and stepped out, and the door closed again behind him.

It was getting late, and the last rays of the setting sun were swallowed by the horizon.Munakata Reisi stood at the forefront of the ready-to-go Fourth Army with his hands behind his back, looking at the tall city wall of Luoyang, Kyoto in the distance.Seri Awashima couldn't help but stepped forward again to ask for instructions on when to act, but Munakata smiled lightly and said nothing, and she could only continue to wait with a suppressed urgency.

Until Fushimi Ape Hiko's usual lazy voice came from the earphones, "Your Excellency, the Barbara troops are approaching us, and it is estimated that they will meet our rear troops in 10 minutes."

Seri Awashima heard it too, and she glanced at Munakata in surprise, but before the other party spoke, Enomoto Ryuya's voice sounded, "Your Excellency, Barumara has sent a call request."

"Allowed." He opened his mouth as soon as he connected, even with a deep smile in his tone. "The movements are really slow, Zhou Fang."

"Heh, I don't dare to do anything until I don't arrive? So you are so dependent on me, Munakata?" A familiar voice sounded from the earphone.

"It's just that I feel sorry for you, so I plan to give you a favor." Munakata said.

"Tsk, let's get started." Zhou Fang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the city wall that had already been outlined in his vision.

I can't wait.

This day, long overdue, has finally come.

In the short time of approaching, Enomoto Ryuya's startled voice suddenly sounded in the command vehicle: "Your Excellency, a large number of KnightMare mechas have been detected in the west and react... an army no less than ours!"

"Signal recognition." Zongxiang ordered with a slight frown.In addition to the mercenaries stationed in the city, do eunuchs have the ability to recall other troops?Before he could guess it for a while, the voice of the correspondent sounded first:

"The other party forcibly broke through the system and established a call..."

"Munakata Reishi?"

This voice startled Zongxiang.Extremely hoarse and faintly tired, he could hardly be sure for a while,

"General Kaguto?"

"Well," Kagu Tsuhyun said without a tone, "The time is just right, leave it to me here."

"...Thank you so much."

Call disconnected.

The night was dark, and when the soldiers were approaching the city, the eunuchs dared to ask in trembling voices through the intercom: "Munakata Reishi! Kagutsu Hyunshi! Are you going to collude with the rebel party to rebel!"

Munakata Reishi narrowed his eyes and pulled a mocking smile from his lips, saying nothing about these dying struggles.

The blue banners of the Fourth Army and the red banners of the Barbara fluttered in the cold wind.

Zongxiang held the hilt of the Sirius sword, solemnly and slowly drew the sword out of its sheath like a ceremony, and drew a bright arc of the sword standing in front of him, the words in his mouth and the soft and slow voice of Zhou Fangzun in the distant mech cabin were faintly heard in the wind overlapping:

"Make a sword out of a sword—"

"no blood—"

"Our righteousness has no haze—"

"nobone—"

"Munakata, draw your sword—!"

"noash—!"

Countless bright and scorching flames rose into the sky at the same instant, and all the mechs opened their eyes.

All the people living in Luoyang, Kyoto, will remember this night clearly when they grow old countless years later. They will tell the descendants with the same tone of admiration and admiration, and pass them on from generation to generation.

Because this was a night destined to be recorded in the history books, the three armies joined forces with the Qing emperor, and the forbidden army in the royal city knelt down to welcome their arrival when they saw the soldier amulet.

It was an absolute victory, a battle worthy of honor.
