  Thank you for your support, this is the second update, I hope you will continue to support me with recommendations and collections, thank you, see you tomorrow.

  ——————————————————————————

  This year's New Year's Eve seems to be unusually cold, even the famous hot spring resort Wensheng Valley has started to snow, although the snow is not big, it just fell on the ground and turned into water droplets, but it made Phil, who was excited to show his girlfriend the luxurious ballroom dance, feel chilled to the bone.

  "I'm terribly sorry, esteemed magician sir, but you only have one invitation and cannot bring this young lady in." The guard politely yet firmly rejected Firil's request, leaving him feeling embarrassed in front of his girlfriend.

  "Can't you really? I am Major Filius & Taylor, Chief of Staff to the Great Bear Regiment. Please announce me to Governor Norm and he will surely let us in."

  "I'm sorry, Mr. Norm specifically instructed that no reports be accepted before the banquet is over." The serious-looking gatekeeper ruthlessly shut the last large door.

  “……”

  The beautiful female pastor looked at the thin little boyfriend covering his mouth and laughing, comforting him as she hugged him into her arms. "It's okay, Xiao Fei Li, I'm happy to see you safe and sound. It doesn't matter if we can't attend the banquet."

  Sniffing the scent of his lover, Phil's gloomy mood suddenly cleared up. Embracing the fiery body he hadn't seen in days, the suffocated former playboy even felt a little impatient to push Renny down, or rather, was overwhelmed by the urge to be pushed down by Renny.

  "I'm currently living at Speaker Zena's house, or I can accompany you there to get settled first?"

  "Okay." Renny pinched Fili's nose, "This weather is really cold, let's go warm up first!"

  Fili tried hard to put his arm around Lenny's neck, but unfortunately, due to the height difference, he couldn't reach it. He had to hold onto the female pastor's arm instead, and with his other hand, he picked up Lenny's luggage. The two of them walked slowly in the light snow, leaning against each other, and somehow, it felt a bit romantic.

  However, their conversation had nothing to do with romance at all.

  "Reni, how did you end up in Onsen Valley?"

  "There's something important I need to discuss with you, so I took a leave from church and rushed over."

  "Anything important?"

  "It's about the house, we can't always live in the garrison commander's office or rent a room in a hotel. I've found a pretty good little villa in the port area, it's just a bit expensive..."

  "Are you referring to Gangkou District in Yibin?"

  "Of course, don't you want to work under the Governor?"

  "Of course not..." Snowflakes landed on Fili's forehead, quickly melting and mixing with the constantly emerging sweat beads to form a patch of water marks. "I mean, isn't it a bit early to buy a house now?" Dammit, according to history, in just another month, half of Emon would be reduced to ruins by the Spirit Fleet. Buying a house in the port area now wasn't equivalent to throwing money into junk stocks?

  "Early? Not at all early! The boss of the hotel I'm staying in said that they're going to raise the price drastically next month and also require half a year's rent in advance. That old pervert who's always making moves on me is simply trying to make things difficult for me! You, as my boyfriend, won't even help me think of a solution?"

  "...This, I think you can move to the garrison command first and squeeze with me for a while."

  "Stingy ghost, don't tell me you're broke, I've already heard it on the way. There's a very perverted magician in Wenspring Valley doing some weird business, who else could be selling these sets but you?"

  "Who the hell said that about me?"

  ……

  "Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. Now, let Mr. Sohn & Nom give a speech to everyone, please applaud to welcome!" General Guderian stood in the center of the venue, proclaiming loudly to the guests at the banquet, his face showing no signs of disappointment from losing the election, apparently having negotiated terms with the winner.

  "Thank you, thank you!" Suave and debonair in his silver-gray tuxedo, Thorn Nom rose from his seat and waved graciously to the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure most of you know who I am, so I won't bother introducing myself. Now, I'd like to make an announcement."

  He pulled out a document, cleared his throat and began to read it word by word: "Now that the results of this election have been confirmed, in the name of the Imperial Parliament, Senate and Government of Nacelles, I hereby declare the election result valid. By special appointment, the former Governor of New Mazosubrei State, Sohn Nom, is appointed as the new Commander-in-Chief of the Nacelle War Zone, with the temporary rank of Lieutenant General, effective immediately. Gmliel, Chief Executor of the Nacelles Empire."

  The banquet hall immediately erupted into even more fervent and prolonged applause, and Sohn'er Nom took the opportunity to wipe the sweat from his brow. In fact, he still had three promotions for the commanders of the Giant Bear Legion in his hand, but those three bastards had all gone missing, so he could only hold back on announcing them for now.

  "Charlotte's playboy is one thing, and Vinnie running wild is another, but how did the normally reliable Phil learn to skip out too? Next time I'll have to give them a good scolding." The newly appointed General Norm muttered to himself as he waited for the applause to die down. Suddenly, he spotted a pale and gaunt figure in the corner.

  "Major Solerton? How did he get here, I don't recall inviting him?" General Norm was somewhat puzzled, but the situation on stage didn't allow him to think much about it. A wave of flattery and praise engulfed him after the applause stopped, completely overwhelming him. He had to muster all his energy to respond one by one while putting this matter aside for now.

  Whoosh! Three red signal flares suddenly shot up from a small hill on the edge of the valley, trailing long tails of flame as they exploded in mid-air. The unusual sight caught the attention of some guests in the revolving restaurant, but most people remained engrossed in music, dance and political deals, paying no heed to it. However, the subsequent explosions and violent shaking of the floor made everyone react: something was wrong!

  "What in the world...?!" Thorne & Nom jumped to the window, discovering a group of armed men who had appeared out of nowhere were exchanging gunfire with the guards at the ground elevator tower, the luxurious large gate was already shattered into pieces from an explosion. In the distance, two military camps also continuously transmitted the sound of gunfire. General Godrick also rushed to the same window, both looked at each other, and saw deep doubt and panic in each other's eyes.

  "It wasn't this guy, he had no reason to do so!" The two quickly came to a conclusion. General Guderian immediately drew his own pistol and shouted loudly at the people in the banquet hall, "Don't panic, everyone, raise the height of Grauburg's organ room right away..."

  As a gunshot rang out right next to him, a bullet hole appeared in the middle of the lieutenant general's brow, and his tall body fell backwards powerlessly.

  A trail of blood was smeared on the glass wall. A scream echoed through the crowd, and many people started rushing towards the stairs, causing chaos in the hall.

  Suddenly, an explosion sounded in the hall, and the stairs were blown to pieces in the loud noise. The people who had just rushed down were blown back by the air wave. A scorching hot airflow swept through the entire hall in an instant, and short bursts of gunfire rang out among the flying debris and wood chips, with a small number of guards falling one after another.

  When Shawn & Norm looked up from the rubble, they were horrified to see a black-painted flying ship suddenly appear in the sky above them, with many masked black-clad assassins jumping from the ship onto the roof of the revolving restaurant!

  He had to leave immediately, he activated the teleportation ring that was just ordered from Phil, but there was no reaction at all. The hall had already been set up with an anti-magic array! Before he could regain his composure from the panic, a hard metal object pressed against the back of his head. He raised his hands in defeat and glanced back surreptitiously.

  "Morley?Soliton? What are you trying to do?"

  Mole's face burst into a triumphant smile, just wanting to say something, but nearby there was the sound of shattering glass. Mole's expression changed, and with a swift strike, he knocked the captive unconscious, then rushed to the broken hole in the glass wall and prepared to fire.

  Unfortunately, it was too late. Chairman Ludwig had already smashed through the glass and jumped out of the revolving restaurant, activating the transmission magic hidden in his fake teeth outside the anti-magic array. The effective distance of this spell seemed to be very short, and a blue light flashed, Ludwig's figure disappeared into the night sky in an instant.

  "Damn it!" The lead bullet shot out of the pistol and passed through the empty space where Ludwig's shadow had disappeared. Morley Soleton spat a mouthful of saliva on the floor, "Order the ground personnel to search carefully, this guy won't get far. Now, let's take care of our noble guests here first."
