Cocolia noticed the amount of information in the words and finally frowned.
Seele was unhappy with the Supreme Guardian in front of him. Even his mature and elegant temperament seemed particularly arrogant in the eyes of the girl.
Why, Lower District people are living a hard life, why can you remain calm instead of frowning?
As Supreme Guardian, shouldn't I be worried about the suffering of the people?
"Please let me explain the situation!"
Bronya took a step forward and took the opportunity to talk from Seele.
If the situation continues to develop like this, conflicts may break out later.
She must actively regulate the pace of communication and describe in detail what she has experienced during this trip in a way that is not directed at her mother and is consistent with the Lower District situation.
It is not an easy task to organize the language, take the initiative in negotiations, consider various issues and take into account multiple aspects.
But Bronya did it.
She has grown up and is completely different from her past self, which is enough to impress Cocolia.
Natasha and Seele listened to Bronya's description, including Void Erosion spreading underground, Rivet Town falling, Great Mine Area became dangerous, and a large number of residents were displaced and became scavengers. Wildfire struggled to maintain Order. Vegetable soup made from moss was one of the few sources of vegetables amid the scarcity of supplies...
No omissions, no additional embellishments, it's all the truth.
They had nothing to add.
Cocolia didn't reveal any obvious emotional changes, and couldn't tell what was going on in his heart. He just stared at Bronya.
The girl became uncontrollably anxious.
What exactly is your mother thinking? You must know that Supreme Guardian's words and deeds will directly affect Natasha, Seele, and even the subsequent attitude of Hua Yi and the entire Lower District. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
Not Belobog, but Cocolia fell into the abyss.
Even Bronya has to admit that if Hua Yi becomes King of Belobog, it can really lead this city to a better future.
"Hua Yi Suppress the Void, destroyed the monsters, saved the people of Lower District, and brought them great hope. Otherwise, if the situation continues, the entire Lower District will collapse. I don't know how many people will die, and Upper District will never be able to stay out of it!"
Bronya spoke faster and faster, more and more urgently, and there were even tears gathering in the corners of his eyes.
"Mother, please lift Blockade Order. This law is wrong. At the same time, please mobilize materials to support Lower District, protect the results won by Hua Yi, and don't let the people suffer anymore!"
"Take a deep breath and adjust your emotions. Bronya, you are my daughter, Silvermane Guards Commander, you must stand alone and cannot show such vulnerability."
Is now the time to say this? Mother, do you know the seriousness of this matter?
"Lord Guardian!"
At this moment, the tears in the corners of Bronya's eyes could no longer be stopped..
Chapter 194 You are a proud child of me
Serval pulled Bronya to his side, feeling distressed and angry at the same time, glaring at his close friend who had studied with him and formed a band together.
"Cocolia, you are still so unreasonable! Now is the time to blame Bronya for being fragile? You have no idea that in order to make up for Blockade Order's mistake, she Lower District worked so hard to destroy monsters, but she didn't understand how painful it was when she heard people regard Supreme Guardian as a coward and a tyrant. She tried to defend her mother several times, but found that she had nothing to say!"
Is this considered betrayal?
Although his best friend yelled angrily, Cocolia only lowered his eyes slightly when Bronya shed tears, but did not give a response.
"Natasha of Wildfire, give me a list of material requirements. You should know what Lower District needs."
"... The list has been made. Daily necessities and medical supplies are the most in short supply at the moment."
"Within today, City Builders will send materials underground through the resource transportation pipeline."
Bronya's growth was almost entirely based on the collapse of faith. The radiant mother image in her heart was shrouded in darkness. From the beginning, she could not listen to others speaking ill of Supreme Guardian, but later she endured it silently, desperately wanting to do more for Lower District. Or didn't she want to help you make up for your mistakes?
Why can you be so indifferent? Can't your daughter's tears make you feel guilty and compassionate?!
You should at least comfort her and praise her.
Cocolia, you bastard!!
Serval was about to break out on the spot and have a big quarrel with Cocolia, but was stopped by Hua Yi.
He took out a tissue and wiped Bronya's tears.
"Don't be sad, and don't be anxious. I think Supreme Guardian La Signora understands the seriousness of the matter, otherwise they would not dispatch supplies so simply."
Upper District's resources are also limited.
Hua Yi had seen the list of supplies prepared by Natasha in advance, and also learned about the ground conditions from Himeko who stayed at Kliperburg through mobile phone messages.
If Himeko had not used rail guns to eliminate a large number of monsters in Snowfield, the battle outside the city would still be tense, and Upper District would not be able to allocate manpower to prepare resources. A large amount of medicine would be consumed on the front line, leaving no reserves for Lower District to support medical supplies.
Maybe you can't even be self-sufficient.
However, as Natasha said, what she listed are all the things Lower District needs most, and she is definitely not exaggerating.
Belobog is on the verge of collapse, and will completely lose control if you are not careful.
Before the arrival of Astral Express, this was true for Lower District, and so was Upper District.
Belobog cannot solve Stellaron Calamity internally and reverse the situation, but what Cocolia has done in the past and what it will do now——
Hua Yi looked at the blonde Supreme Guardian.
"You just mentioned the delivery of supplies, but did not immediately release Blockade Order. Are you planning to wait for us, seal the Stellaron, to resume communication between the upper and lower levels after everything has settled?"
"... Yes."
"Then, while we are turning the situation around Lower District, you must have found the location of Stellaron, right?"
"You can rest at Goethe Hotel for a while. Tomorrow, I will tell you where Stellaron is."
Why wait until tomorrow? Since you have Stellaron coordinates, take it out early so that everyone can prepare early according to the specific location.
Serval and Natasha both frowned, suspicious of Cocolia's motive for such an arrangement.
Bronya didn't think too much, and found that Supreme Guardian seemed to be willing to help everyone seal the Stellaron, and his tearful eyes became bright.
Mother has not been Stellaron's temptation, does she still cherish the ideal of Preservation of Belobog?
"Stellaron is indeed the key to everything. If we don't deal with it properly, the rest of the negotiations and visions will be rootless and illusory."
Hua Yi has already guessed what Cocolia is planning, and without urging her to lead everyone to find Stellaron now, everyone works together to seal the source of the disaster.
"It just so happens that Natasha, Seele and Himeko also want to get to know each other, so we won't bother you. Lower District's trip had a great impact on Bronya, but she is very strong. The only sweat she shed before was to eliminate monsters and restore peace to the people."
The implication is that Bronya will continue to stay in Kliperburg, and Hua Yi will bring others back to Goethe Hotel.
There is another meaning. Bronya only showed the deepest vulnerability in his heart in front of his mother.
Cocolia fell silent, and Hua Yi turned around and left with his companions.
Seele also wanted to finish everything in one go, forcing Supreme Guardian to abdicate, saying that Lower District had chosen New King who was worthy of people's following. However, Hua Yi grabbed Rooibos and pulled her away directly.
It's superfluous to say anything now, Stellaron is the key.
"Bronya, please go back to your room first. I will find you later."
"Okay!"
Even though Hua Yi wiped away the tears on her face, Bronya's eyes were still red, but Cocolia's words surprised her.
Since a long time ago, there have been very few private interactions between his mother and himself. Are they finally willing to have a heart-to-heart talk now?
The girl's footsteps became a little lighter when she left.
The spacious hall-like office fell into silence again, but before even taking a few breaths, Stellaron's whisper sounded in the ears of Supreme Guardian.
"Cocolia, are you going to give up the new world we are looking forward to and the future of Belobog?"
The intellectual and gentle female voice was heartbroken.
If Cocolia hadn't remained clear and rational, she would have forgotten that Stellaron had also murmured arrogant words and inhuman voices, and intimidated and threatened her.
"Astral Express has made up his mind to seal the Stellaron. I can't change it. This is the most direct way - you said that we are allies."
"Yes, ally."
"Stellaron showed the power to create the world and crushed the Fool's fantasy with irrefutable reality. This will be the development tomorrow, right?"
"Of course, of course!"
"I'm looking forward to Belobog's new future, the only salvation..."
Stellaron's voice faded, and he wanted to gather power for Supreme Guardian who had betrayed Preservation, and help him eliminate the powerful enemy.
Cocolia stood quietly by the window overlooking Snowfield outside the city. He did not go to Bronya's room until he was sure that Stellaron's whisper would not appear again.
"Mother, you are here."
Looking at Bronya with red and swollen eyes, and remembering what Hua Yi said before, Cocolia's stagnant eyes fluctuated.
She subconsciously planned to suppress it, but when she remembered something, her expression softened completely, and she reached out to gently touch the girl's head.
"I have always understood that you work hard, and you are a child that makes me proud, Bronya.".
Chapter 195 Night
How long has it been, how long has it been since Cocolia stroked Bronya's head so intimately, and praised and encouraged her softly?
It's been so long that I can't remember.
In the slightly distant Remembrance, the childhood Bronya was sitting on Cocolia's lap. Her cold arms were wrapped around her neck, giving the girl an indescribable sense of security.
At that time, Cocolia's voice was gentle and deep, telling all kinds of stories.
At that time, Bronya liked the ups and downs of development and would be bored by simple fairy tales that ended with reunion.
After the mother finished telling the not-so-happy ending, little Bronya would become concerned again and ask why the people in the story couldn't live a happy life.
Do you want her to be happy?
Yes, she is a kind person, and kind people should live a happy life.
To this day, Bronya still remembers the gentle smile on his mother's face after she answered like this.
It wasn't until she grew up into a graceful girl and understood the truth about Belobog and the suffering of Lower District that she understood how precious a happy ending is.
All the ups and downs, aren't they just for one result?
Bronya was briefly lost in thought, wanting to let his mother hug him like he did when he was a child.
Therefore, she stretched out her hand, intending to grab Supreme Guardian's gloved catkin, but was avoided.
Facing the girl's suddenly uneasy look, Cocolia's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, including apologies and many unexplained things, so he could only change the subject softly.
"Tell me about your detailed experience at Lower District, from your perspective."
On the other side, in Goethe Hotel, Natasha was also having a conversation with Himeko, whom he had met for the first time, to understand the meanings of Astral Express and Trailblaze. However, Seele had no time to make friends step by step and protested to Hua Yi.
"I think that Cocolia must still have some bad ideas. He insists on delaying time until tomorrow to tell us Stellaron's location - why do you want to stop me from going crazy on the spot? When I stop Cocolia, you will still become King of Belobog. What, do you think I will compete with you for the throne?"
"She needs time to learn more about Lower District's situation. Bronya, who has experienced various unexpected situations, also hopes to talk to Cocolia more, and I..."
Hua Yi paused slightly and looked outside the hotel. He didn't know whether to look at Kliperburg or the endless Wind and Snow that was farther away.
"We must also be prepared for the final battle."
"Indeed."
Natasha agrees with Hua Yi's decision.
Seal the Stellaron is of great importance and will determine the future destiny of Belobog. There is no room for any negligence.
If Seele takes it upon himself to use force against Kliperburg, not to mention whether Cocolia is willing to inform Stellaron coordinates, the mere fact that Supreme Guardian is attacked will trigger a conflict with Silvermane Guards.
Upper District is not like Lower District, who decided to follow the hero after suffering all the hardships. Cocolia is still the unquestionable ruler.
By then, before the problem of Stellaron is solved, human beings will start fighting among themselves, and Strife will not be calmed down in a day or two.
"Everyone have a good rest today."
Therefore, Xing shouldn't start a lover's contest with Hua Yi anymore.
