Chapter 550 The Rainbow in the Palm

For Wulan State, the Hero Square in Recchi City had been endowed with a lot of sacred meanings since its establishment.

This was the eternal sleeping land of the heroes. It was the origin of innumerable singing and moving legends. In the huge Hero Square, there were countless memorials, each of which represented a heart-rending story.

This was the most sacred place in Recchi City, and also the graveyard that Li Tianlan had chosen for the victims of the Snowdance Corps.

The wind was strong and the rain was heavy. The sky was dark.

Tens of thousands of elites of the Snowdance Corps had completely surrounded the Hero Square. In the center of the square stood three very tall flagpoles. The Star Flag of Zhongzhou State was hung on the highest flagpole, flying in the air even in the heavy rain.

A little bit lower than the Star Flag was the flag of Wulan State, but the flagpole on the left side of the Star Flag was still empty. Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud, dressed in military uniforms, stood under the flagpole, held a scarlet military flag, and stood solemnly.

The usually extremely quiet and elegant Hero Square had been completely replaced by a touch of enthusiastic scarlet color. The strong scarlet color covered the center of the square, and even the surrounding monuments turned pale under the rich color.

It was the banner of the Snowdance Corps. The pattern of the army flag out of the order of Prime Minister Reeker himself was simple and clear. An extremely sharp golden long sword was outlined in the scarlet pattern. Dots of golden light were dancing around the long sword, like flying snow, burning flames, and also like falling blood.

This was a military flag made by Wulan State a few days ago. The flag was nearly thousands of meters long and wide. At this time, the huge scarlet flag was spread on the Hero Square. This scarlet flag had a sense of being integrated with heaven and earth.

All the experts of the Snowdance Corps, above the Fire-flaming Realm, gathered around the huge flag. There were more than 10,000 soldiers of the Snowdance Corps and quite a few Fire-flaming Realm experts. But the military flag covering almost the entire square was so big that even if all the Fire-flaming Realm experts stood there, they looked very few.

But in terms of effect, hundreds of Fire-flaming Realm experts were enough. In the heavy rain and strong wind, every Fire-flaming Realm expert was controlling his power. The surging heat wave completely dispelled the coldness between heaven and earth and evaporated the rain. In the rainy weather, the whole square was still dry.

The banner of the Snowdance Corps was still scarlet without dust.

At this time, the ashes of nearly 4,000 victims were quietly placed under this huge military flag!

The ashes were very light, but for Zhongzhou State, the weight of these ashes was greater than anything else.

All the soldiers, from the top to the bottom of the Snowdance Corps, stood quietly in every corner of the square. There was no wind or rain, no coldness, no sound. It was so quiet that it seemed to be frozen.

When Li Huacheng and Li Tianlan came to Hero Square, they saw such a quiet, almost eternal picture.

Wang Tianzong, who walked out of the Office of the President, stood not far from the two of them. He watched this scene and narrowed his eyes.

“I should have come here earlier.”

Li Huacheng watched this scene quietly.

He said it softly after a long time of silence.

“It’s not too late now,” Li Tianlan looked down at the military flag and said calmly.

“Thank you.”

Li Huacheng took a deep look at Li Tianlan and continued, “Thank you for inviting me here. As the President of Zhongzhou State, it’s a sin for me to come here a minute later, not to mention one day of delay.”

“A hero’s soul can’t be blasphemed against,” he looked at the calm and almost frozen Hero Square and said in a deep voice.

“I only know that many people here have died unjustly.”

Li Tianlan said blandly, “They are the most elite soldiers of Zhongzhou State. Zhongzhou State is the most powerful country in the world, so they are the most elite soldiers in the world. Such soldiers should die on the real battlefield. They should die in the fighting with other forces. That’s what they deserve.”

Li Huacheng didn’t speak.

Li Tianlan lowered his voice. “But some of them didn’t. They did die in the war, but some people forgot their own position in the war. Mr. President, does it make sense to die in this way?”

Li Huacheng still didn’t speak.

He couldn’t show his attitude.

The Wang family of Beihai had a solid foundation.

However, the Devil Troop had always been the most hidden ace card of the Wang family of Beihai. No one could even have definite evidence to prove that the Devil Troop existed.

But there was no doubt about their strong strength.

On the night of the Trial Day.

The Devil Troop had heavily wounded the Dark Knights’ commander, Rafael, and Situ Cangyue. They had destroyed the Holy Punishment of Void, and had killed the God of War of Star State, Kass Rotter.

No matter how the process had gone, the result and the achievements of the battle were out there, which could be said to be the most glorious.

Everyone was shocked by the incredible combat capability of the Devil Troop.

But only a few people could think back. When the Devil Troop had achieved such a result that night, how many Zhongzhou State’s Armies and their allies had died in the hands of the Devil Troop?

But there was no evidence.

Even now, no one could take out the evidence that the Devil Troop belonged to the Wang family of Beihai.

On the surface, it seemed that Wang Tianzong had been imprisoned in the Office of the President that night by Li Tianlan.

Any side of the power of the Wang family of Beihai had never appeared on the battlefield.

In such a situation, even if Li Huacheng was dissatisfied, how could he declare his position?

Li Tianlan didn’t expect Li Huacheng to declare his position either. He just looked ahead and said calmly, “I’ll investigate to the end. They’re all my soldiers. As long as I’m alive, I’ll give them an explanation.”

“My position is in Zhongzhou State, and also in the Snowdance Corps. I’ll make anyone who is against the Snowdance Corps pay a heavy price.”

Li Huacheng subconsciously took a look at Wang Tianzong.

Wang Tianzong stood there and looked as usual.

Li Tianlan said no more and walked towards the huge military flag in the square.

Behind the three of them, more and more people appeared.

There were men and women, old and young, nearly hundreds of people.

These were all the delegation staffs that Li Huacheng brought this time, and they also became the backbone to divide the interests of the five countries in Eastern Europe.

Their achievements today were inseparable from the victims of the Snowdance Corps. For both reason and sentiment, they had to come.

On the other side of the crowd, Reeker was leading a group of high-level officials from Wulan State and watching Li Tianlan getting closer and closer.

Now, Reeker, who had already mastered the President’s power as the Prime Minister, had a complicated look in his eyes.

He looked at the ashes under the military flag, Li Tianlan, the countless monuments around the Hero Square. He suddenly felt a little sad.

It was not for Zhongzhou State or the Snowdance Corps.

But for himself and Wulan State.

Maybe there was no more Wulan State.

The real Wulan State began to become the past today.

Just like the Hero Square, the legends of the past would be forgotten little by little. This place would become the resting place for the new heroes and belonged to the heroes of Zhongzhou State.

Perhaps in a few months or a few years, the stories on every monument here would disappear, and some of the heroes’ deeds that had been widely known would be erased in the textbooks of Wulan State. The heroic deeds of the Snowdance Corps would appear in the new textbooks and in the propaganda of various public media. In another 20 or 30 years, these ashes would become real heroes, and the heroes who really belonged to Wulan State would be completely obliterated.

It was so cruel.

In the real invasion, the failure is never about the interests, but the culture, the tradition, the concepts, and even the faith. Everything would be obliterated and replaced, silently and completely subverted.

Reeker walked to Li Tianlan and asked in a hard voice, “Your Highness, shall we start now?”

Li Tianlan nodded.

Reeker turned around and made a gesture.

In front of the flagpole in the center of the square, Cool Breeze held the flag of the Snowdance Corps, and suddenly raised the flag in his hand.

The military flag was slowly raised in Drifting Cloud’s hand.

The song of Zhongzhou State resounded through all of the Hero Square, all of Recchi City, and all of Wulan State.

At this moment, in the five states of Eastern Europe, in every city, in every corner.

The school, the enterprise, the government, all the people were mourning and praying.

The mellifluous national song was loud and impassioned.

The elites of the Snowdance Corps on the square started to move.

The huge military flag on the ground was raised bit by bit.

The soldiers of the Snowdance Corps carefully picked up urns filled with cinerary ashes one after another and put them into a hole dug nearby.

The contents of the monuments in the square would be gradually replaced, and the life stories of all the victims would be carved on the monuments.

Li Tianlan and even Li Huacheng held the urn and put it in gently.

The wind and rain did not stop.

The singing became more and more magnificent.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Snowdance Corps raised the guns in their hands at the same time.

Gunshots rang out in the city, and echoed in the sky.

Li Tianlan, who was dressed in a marshal’s uniform, was the first to pick up the shovel and scattered the dirt in silence in the booming gunshots.

The national song slowly stopped.

The gunshots disappeared.

Tens of thousands of elites of the Snowdance Corps began to gather together again.

The military song, which used to belong to the Border Control Corps, sounded in the square. The tune was leisurely, not sad, not pathetic, only with a slight sense of pride and nostalgia.

New graves were everywhere in Hero Square.

Perhaps a long time later, the new grave here would become a flat ground and a square again.

But as long as Li Tianlan was still alive, and the Li family still existed, this place would always be the most sacred place in all of Wulan State, or even in the five countries in Eastern Europe.

In the song, the old times of Wulan State were completely buried.

Li Huacheng, who had a serious look on his face, raised his hand to salute.

All the soldiers of the Snowdance Corps raised their hands to salute at the same time.

Wang Tianzong also raised his hand.

Only Li Tianlan didn’t do it.

Under everyone’s gaze, Li Tianlan slowly took a step forward.

All he could see were new graves.

His eyes lost focus for a second, and his knees slightly bent.

In the eyes of the whole world, he knelt down in front of the new graves.

In an instant, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Snowdance Corps suddenly quieted down.

Li Huacheng’s expression changed slightly, and he said subconsciously, “Marshal Li, what are you doing?”

Wang Tianzong’s eyes had narrowed tightly.

Li Tianlan shook his head and said calmly, “I’ve told you that some of my brothers died unjustly here. Today, I swear in front of all my brothers that some people have to pay the price for doing wrong. I will avenge them and make their deaths worthwhile.”

He bent over and hit his head heavily on the floor, which was covered with rain.

One, two, three.

There was no sound between heaven and earth.

All the warriors of the Snowdance Corps were staring at this scene in stupefaction.

At this moment, they didn’t have Li Huacheng or Wang Tianzong in their eyes.

There was only the figure kneeling and kowtowing.

That was their marshal.

Li Tianlan kowtowed three times and slowly got up.

Wang Tianzong’s expression suddenly changed.

He raised his head and looked around.

Li Tianlan straightened his body.

It seemed that the heaven and the earth matched each other, and rays of light suddenly appeared in the dim sky.

The light quietly enveloped the whole square.

It was colorful.

The light appeared from all directions and gathered wildly toward Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan raised his head, lost in thought.

He reached out his hand subconsciously.

His outstretched palm seemed to be pressed down by something in the void.

In an instant, the seven-colored light burst out wildly.

Endless colors rushed out of the light and went straight up to the sky.

The rain and wind all over the sky dissipated.

Li Tianlan stood there.

He held a rainbow in his palm, which was dazzling and unparalleled.

It was like a miracle.
