Chapter 30 Kokolia's Speech

"No, you came just in time."

Putting aside the awkward atmosphere, Yao Luo sat up from the hospital bed in the camp. He was in a tent similar to a field hospital. The room was equipped with all the necessary medical facilities, and it was obvious that it was a special ward prepared for him personally.

Yao Luo's body was not seriously injured, and the huge consumption of mental energy was the main reason for his coma.

Cocolia looked at Yao Luo worriedly. Although the field doctor repeatedly told her that there was nothing serious, she still checked herself carefully.

Standing up, Yao Luo picked up the ancestral black coat from the hanger beside him and put it on.

Kokolia straightened his collar and said, "Yao Luo, you may not know what a great feat you have done this time."

"Appreciate further details."

"The land you attacked once belonged to Beloberg. After the Rift's erosion," Cocolia said with a hint of excitement, "but since this battle, the erosion of the Rift has shown unprecedented signs of regression."

Kokolia's eyes were filled with gratitude. "This is the first time in Beloberg's history that we have taken back territory eroded by the Rift."

"Take back the land...?"

Yao Luo was inspired to think by this word. The rift phenomenon has taken root on the planet Yalilo VI for nearly a thousand years. The land where people live is becoming increasingly smaller. In fact, a considerable part of the territory has been eroded by the rift, whether in the upper or lower areas. People have to leave their hometown on which they depend for survival.

Within the city of Belloberg, a long time ago, in addition to the administrative districts, there were many similar or even larger residential areas.

Under the erosion of the rift, five districts are ceded today, and ten districts are ceded tomorrow. Gradually, the land outside the administrative districts is no longer suitable for people to live in. Ju Yaoluo estimates that if left unchecked, the erosion of the rift will enter the city in a few years.

"I want to prepare a speech for you, Yao Luo." Kokolia said with a little hesitation, as if trying to gain Yao Luo's consent.

"Do you want to... motivate the people in the city?" Yao Luo thought for a moment and understood Cocolia's intention.

"Yes, this matter is of great significance to Beloberg, and I hope you can also speak." There was a hint of expectation in Cocolia's eyes.

"That's not necessary." It's not that Yao Luo has social phobia, but he has no experience in such large scenes. There will probably be tens of thousands of people attending the event. When he thinks of such a scene, Yao Luo feels that it will be more difficult than eliminating the same number of enemies.

"No, no." Pera suddenly interrupted, shook her head, adjusted her round glasses, and raised her tone slightly.

"When the news here spread to the city, some people couldn't believe it, but more people regarded you as a hero of Beloberg!"

The glow of the lenses made it difficult for Yao Luo to see the look in Pera's eyes, but from her tone.

"I seem to have become famous?" Scratching his head, Yao Luo didn't react much to this matter. Looking at the expectant eyes of the two, he knew that since things had come to this point, there was no need to spoil the fun, so he agreed.

"Okay, I agree."

"Okay!"

Three days later, in the upper area, in front of the Eternal Winter Monument.

Layers of steps were built up. As a symbol of the city of Beloberg, the Eternal Winter Monument never lacked traffic on weekdays. However, a message on the Beloberg bulletin board today made people on this street excited.

"Under the watchful eyes of the great Star God Clipper, the Silver Mane Iron Guards have recently achieved a major victory in the Iron Guards restricted area. Nearly 100 streets outside the original Iron Guards restricted area, including Nikolskaya Street and Arbat Street, will be reopened. The specific details will be personally announced to all citizens of Beloberg by the Great Guardian of the Later Days, Lady Cocolia Rand..."

"Snatch, seize the young master?"

"Nearly a hundred streets! Isn't that equivalent to the liberation of an entire district?"

"You are kidding me, right? You pinched me, oh, you pinched me really hard!"

"Star God bless us! Star God bless us! Belloberg is about to rise!"

People rushed to tell each other, and countless voices flowed naturally like water into the homes of ordinary people in every corner of Beloberg. Regardless of whether they were men or women, old or young, they were all happy for the liberation of the city from the bottom of their hearts.

No matter how poor or vicious a criminal is, he will stop what he is doing on this day and walk proudly on the street with his head held high as a citizen of Beloberg, like the rising sun in a warm winter.

The speech came as expected. The people in front of the Eternal Winter Monument filled the entire square like an ocean. The crowds were surging, their voices were louder than the waves, and they were shoulder to shoulder. Even an elephant thrown into the sea of ​​people would disappear.

On the tall and elegant podium, this place that was built by craftsmen at the fastest speed, the symbol of the city, the supreme ruler of Beloberg, the Great Guardian, stood here.

Kokolia took a deep breath and gently touched the loudspeaker in front of her with her fingernails.

"Ong——!"

The harsh metallic sound resounded throughout the venue. For a moment, the boiling crowd was like running water, no longer making any sound, because they knew that the historic moment was about to come.

Cocolia's eyes were as sharp as torches, and anyone could see the determination in her eyes. The people present could even feel a ray of light emanating from that sharp gaze.

"Dear citizens of Beloberg, everyone should have known about the good news from the day before yesterday. Here, I guarantee it as the great guardian of Beloberg, Cocolia Rand," Cocolia paused, and the hearts of the people in the entire square paused with him.

For a moment, even the sound of a pin drop could be heard in the square. The dead silence reached its climax. "It's absolutely true!"

The crowd was boiling! The crowd was boiling violently!

People hugged and kissed each other, and countless ribbons used for celebration floated in the sky. Even though there was an advance announcement, when this news really came out of the mouth of the Great Guardian, the people truly believed it:
"It's back. The land that has been separated from Beloberg for decades is back!"

Kokolia waved her hand, and the people's enthusiasm fell silent again.

"Seventy years. This area has not been inhabited by people from Beloberg for seventy years. The young people present here probably can't even name this area..."

"District xx..." A trembling voice came from an old man in the audience. He was an old man living in that area. As far as he could remember, he and his parents moved out from there when he was young. He still remembered what his parents said to him at that time:

"Dad, Mom, why do we have to leave our hometown?"

"To come back here someday."

Even though his parents' faces have become blurred, the old man has always kept their words in his heart.

As the speeches continued, people's enthusiasm grew, and this city, which had been covered in ice and snow for many years, began to show new vitality.

"Now, we would like to invite the Silver Mane Iron Guard hero who defeated a large number of enemies in one fell swoop and completely turned the tide of the battle. He is the savior of Beloberg and the apostle bestowed by the Star God on the human world. Our Yao-Luo!"

"Yao Luo! Yao Luo! Yao Luo!"

Yao Luo, who was given a lot of buffs by Cocolia, walked onto the stage reluctantly. His originally excellent face was touched left and right by the makeup artist who claimed to have "experienced twenty years of makeup skills" in the audience. The exquisiteness of his face was almost like someone who walked out of Beloberg's most beautiful oil painting.

He also took off the black coat that he had never changed, and put on a slim-fitting black and white tailor-made jacket made of an indescribable material. It looked religious and sacred, and Roman-style majestic. When Yao Luo put on this outfit, he looked more like the great guardian of Beloberg than Cocolia himself.

With a teasing look on her face, Cocolia gave up her seat to Yao Luo and whispered in his ear:
"Don't worry, Yao Luo, as long as you don't run naked on the court, everyone will welcome you no matter what you say."

The hot air hit Yao Luo's ears, and the voice as soft as orchid praised:

"Also, you look very handsome today~"

Yao Luo's face turned slightly red, not sure if it was because of nervousness or some unknown reason.

After adjusting his mindset, Yao Luo stood in front of the stage and looked forward.

Pairs of expectant eyes looked at Yao Luo, like stars in the dark night. Yes, this city has been lying in the darkness for too long.

Yao Luo spoke up.

"Hello everyone, my name is Yao Luo. Some of you may have heard of my name, and some of you may not know it, but it doesn't matter."

Even without the use of a loudspeaker, Yao Luo's voice appeared to every audience member in the audience as if it were right next to everyone's ears.

A finger pointed into the distance, and everyone's eyes were focused on the direction Yao Luo pointed.

"I am here to make a commitment to you and to this planet."

"The victory we celebrate today is only the beginning."

"In our ancestors' generation, people suffered from being enveloped by endless ice fields, and they had no choice but to see a wider sky."

"What the world outside of Belloberg looks like nowadays can only be imagined from myths and novels."

"The sky that belongs to humans shouldn't be so small, and the world that belongs to the planet Yalilo VI shouldn't be limited to this city!"

"We want our descendants to witness a better world, so we must counterattack the Rift and take back our world. Our goal is beyond the ice and snow—"

"The sea of ​​stars!"

"The sea of ​​stars!"

"The sea of ​​stars!"

Countless voices of agreement rang out, and at this moment, the people of Beloberg believed that the future belonged to them.

People's excited and thrilling voices reached the sky. On this day, countless artists stayed up all night, and the inspiration from their pens was like the ocean. Countless politicians tossed and turned, calculating how to divide the benefits. Even more, there were countless people of Beloberg.

They can fall asleep peacefully with hope for tomorrow.
