Chapter 636 I'm Back (3000 Words)

However, this place is still some distance away from the entrance to the barrier of the mountain.

Therefore, while everyone walked along the river to the exit, Lin Lan also told Nagato and the others that he and Akashi had obtained oil extraction technology from the Orlan United States Technology Research Institute.

Hearing this good news, Mikasa was greatly relieved and praised Lin Lan again.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

The technology brought by Lin Lan is more valuable than just carrying a large amount of oil.

In the country of Liaozhou Jiudao, the acquisition of oil is not like that of the Orlan United States, which can be said to be extremely limited.

Except for the Tianou Group's military base in Liaozhou, basically Liaozhou people will not use this natural resource.

However, Mikasa also told Lin Lan that they had planned to go to Inaba Island after the New Year to try to plunder the Tianou Group's military base.

Lin Lan keenly caught that what Mikasa said was not "trading" but "plundering".

So he asked the senior in confusion:

"Did the Tianou Group on Inaba Island offend you?"

"Commander, the word "offended" is not accurate enough."

In the barrier before, Lin Lan had said that he had ruled the United States of Orlan, and the Tianou Group was already under his jurisdiction.

So Mikasa smiled and explained to Lin Lan at this time:

"It should be them who took the initiative to attack us."

Then Mikasa told Lin Lan in a few words what happened on Inaba Island two weeks ago.

It turned out that when Shiranui went to the villages and towns of Inaba Island to purchase supplies last time, she was attacked by the Jiudao League.

The Liaozhou people of the Jiudao League regarded Shiranui and the four little lolita of the Yukumo class: Fengyun, Changbo, Juanbo and Qingbo as children in the local town, and directly planned to capture them.

Of course, although these Jiudao League troops have mastered some strange technologies, how can they be the opponents of the Sakura warships?

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, this Jiudao League army was also declared annihilated.

Shiranui learned from the townspeople who thanked them that these people from the Nine Islands Alliance were probably bewitched by the Tianou Group to capture local minors.

Combined with the discovery by Noshiro and Sakuno that the Tianou Group had oil-driven mechas, Mikasa planned to attack the Tianou Group military base on Inaba Island and rob the oil.

But after listening to Mikasa's account of what happened, Lin Lan found that something seemed wrong.

It was true that the Tianou Group was capturing minors in Liaozhou. He saw the children who were captured from Yuze Island and sent to Zhuren Island yesterday.

But the problem is that this kind of shameful thing should not be done by the Tianou Group's own troops for the sake of confidentiality?

Why would the people who attacked Shiranui and the others be people from the Nine Islands Alliance?

He has never figured out why the Tianou Group would do such a thankless thing.

Even if the Tianou Group did whatever it took to return to Oran due to lack of labor, it would not do such a thing that would arouse hatred and affect its reputation.

After all, the Tianou Group is an outsider to the people of Liaozhou. If it really arouses the hatred of all the people of Liaozhou, it will really not be able to stay in Liaozhou.

And the fact that the Jiudao League would help the Tianou Group to arrest people made him feel absurd.

Luo Yuande said that just last year, the Tianou Group almost broke up with the Jiudao League.

Why is the Jiudao League now in the same boat with the Tianou Group?

"After the New Year, I will go to the Tianou Group Building in Inaba Island to ask for justice from the local person in charge."

There were too many questions in his mind, so Lin Lan finally decided to wait until the New Year, when Tiancheng's body was fine, and he would go to meet the general agent of Inaba Island in person.

No matter how the act of arresting Liaozhou children is packaged, it is absolutely a damnable act, not to mention that they dared to attack the Sakura Empire ship girls. He would only say a good job to Fengyun and the others who wiped out the other side.

Whether the Jiudao League troops were commanded by the Tianou Group or not, he had to let the general agent know what torture from the Tianou lurkers was.

And he also had a vague feeling of uneasiness, wondering if Yuki, who went to Inaba Island alone, would also be captured by the Tianou Group or the Jiudao Alliance.

But he changed his mind and thought that Yuki was a generation of heroes, and she was also a human being, so she should not be regarded as a target of capture.

"Commander, we are about to leave the range of the barrier."

Nagato's words made Lin Lan notice that they had walked out of the mountain, and in front of them was the dense forest of white leaves he had seen on the mountain just now.

And the two huge rocks in front of them with red ropes also showed that this was the exit of the outer barrier.

"The barrier is really magical. I don't know if there is a skill to create a barrier in my hero skill column."

After nodding to Nagato, Lin Lan thought secretly in his heart.

After all, he was not a Sakura Empire person, and he would definitely not be able to learn a barrier like this one cast by the Sakura Empire secret technique. He could only go back and carefully check if there were any skills with similar effects in his numerous skill columns.

Supporting Tiancheng, Lin Lan followed Nagato, Mikasa and Jiang Feng to the red rope between the two boulders and stopped.

Just like Musashi when he entered the barrier, the Son of God raised his hands again, and then a golden light pattern emerged from Nagato's hands and spread in the air.

Lin Lan's attention was attracted by the secret technique performed by Nagato. He remembered that when Musashi opened the entrance to the barrier, these spreading light patterns seemed to be white.

However, when thinking about this, he didn't notice the weak fox lady in his arms. The corners of her mouth inadvertently raised slightly, and the furry fox ears on her head stood up.

It seemed that Tiancheng had realized that something interesting would happen next.

And the senior Mikasa, holding a saber, was already standing behind Nagato and began to tidy up her uniform, which was a little wrinkled because of the rush just now.

At the end, Jiang Feng looked at Lin Lan and opened his mouth slightly.

But Jiang Feng saw that the other adults did not remind the commander, so he suppressed the idea of ​​reminding Lin Lan, silently pulled his skirt, and straightened the blue sailor uniform scarf on his chest.

When the golden ripples gradually dissipated, Nagato turned around, gave Lin Lan a lovely smile, and said:

"Are you ready? You are going to leave the barrier."

Although Lin Lan was a little puzzled, he just walked out of the barrier, and there was nothing in front of him, why did Nagato specifically ask him if he was ready to leave the barrier.

But he still nodded and smiled at Nagato:

"Well, let's go."

After getting his answer, Nagato turned around, with a smile on his face, took a step forward, and disappeared in front of Lin Lan in the next second.

Lin Lan was stunned at first when Nagato's figure disappeared in front of him, and then realized that Nagato had walked out of the barrier.

So he also supported Amagi and followed the steps of Nagato and Mikasa with Jiang Feng.

But when he and Amagi stepped on the place where Nagato disappeared, the next second, he felt that he and Amagi were hugged tightly by a gentle body that almost pounced on him.

Then, a familiar mature female voice with a choked sob sounded in his ears.

"Commander... Sister Amagi... That's great."

Lin Lan instinctively looked down and suddenly widened his eyes.

Because the one who pounced on him and Amagi and hugged him tightly was Akagi with tears in the corners of his eyes!

Before he could react to the surprise of Akagi's sudden appearance, he looked up in shock at the colorful fireworks reflected from all around him and the cheers of excitement and joy.

"Commander!" "Commander and Sister Amagi are out!"

His eyes met with the Sakura warship girls standing at the bottom of the stairs, their faces were filled with extremely happy smiles, and many of them even had tears in the corners of their eyes, making him feel like he was dreaming.

Kaga, who rarely showed a sincere smile on his face, and Shinano, who he had seen several times in his dreams, and the two white fox girls also climbed the stairs and watched them with smiles on their faces with Nagato and Mikasa.

It was not until then that Lin Lan realized that they were now standing on the high platform at the entrance of the main hall of a large Sakura shrine.

The surrounding night sky was still flashing with gorgeous fireworks, and behind the Sakura warship girls who were almost all present in the shrine, there was an ancient bell that he had only seen in movies.

He finally understood why Nagato specifically asked him if he was ready just now.

It turned out that the official entrance to the Yamanouchi Imperial Tree Barrier was actually across a space, at the entrance of the main hall of the Snow Sakura Island Shrine outside the mountain!

Under the leadership of Nagato, they actually appeared directly at the scene of the New Year's Eve bell ceremony of all the Sakura Fleet Girls!

"Akagi, and everyone, I have worried you these days."

Tiancheng had obviously anticipated this situation a long time ago. She gently stroked her sister's head, and the corners of her eyes were stained with mist.

Lin Lan gently touched Akagi's head, raised his head, and looked at all the Sakura Fleet Girls who either accompanied him from Oran to here, or had been waiting for this day for too long.

Familiar faces and expectant sights made him want to cry out loud.

In order to find him, his Sakura Fleet Girls traveled thousands of miles from the port area to this country that was extremely remote from the port area and lacked combat resources.

But they never complained from beginning to end.

The thousands of words in his heart gathered into a short but most solemn oath he had ever made in Lin Lan's throat:

"Everyone, I... am back."

"I will never leave you without saying goodbye again, I... promise you."

As he finished speaking, fireworks rose into the sky again and exploded, as if at this moment even the night had turned into day.
