Chapter 793: Warrior's Eternal Song

On New Year's Eve, the port area's annual reunion party finally began.

Although some of the port area's commanders had returned to Donghuang, some people remained here. Adding the Yujin who stayed behind and a Purifier that refused to leave, they together formed the main cast of tonight's party.

"So Biyu is still the host?" Qin Ge asked, looking at Biyu in full dress.

"Yes, although we can't sortie now, doing the host's job is still fine, so Commander, don't worry too much." Biyu smiled.

Qin Ge smacked his lips, "Alright, but pay attention to your body; if you can't, speak up in time, although you probably won't."

"Hehe, rest assured, Commander, I'm not that fragile." Biyu smiled, "It's about time; I need to go prepare."

"Mm, go ahead." Qin Ge nodded and said.

Watching Biyu's silhouette disappear before him, Tiancheng beside Qin Ge smiled, "Your Majesty needn't worry; didn't Helenas just say that? Biyu is recovering well, and in a month she'll be able to sortie, so acting as host now should be fine."

"Mm, just a little reluctant, that's all." Qin Ge said.

"Hehe, rather than feeling reluctant toward Biyu, it's better to think about the performance later; Your Majesty is the first." Tiancheng laughed, "I don't know what Your Majesty has prepared."

Qin Ge chuckled, "Of course I've prepared something, but I'm just one of them."

"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it." Tiancheng exclaimed delightedly.

"Ha, it'll surely be splendid."

As night fell, the party officially began.

Watching Biyu stand on stage delivering the host's lines, the remote-area counterforce below, seeing this scene, couldn't help but smile, "I really like this atmosphere; if there were no war, I'd be willing to stay here for a lifetime."

"Everything we do is for this moment; now all this is no longer a luxury, perhaps it will become the norm later. Although there will still be more unknown enemies, living together like this is truly wonderful." Fu Sang smiled.

"Let's treat this as the overture to forging a legend; the upcoming trials will only grow harder." Helena smiled.

"Oh, Commander Qin Ge is going on stage, even carrying a guitar; will he also perform?" The Royal Ark laughed.

"I don't know."

The crowd looked toward the stage, only to see that at the moment up there were Guanghui, Lie Ke Xing Dun, Ai Hang, Ou Gen Qin Wang, Hai Qi, Tianying, Dunkeerk, Ta Shi Gan, and of course, Qin Ge standing among the crowd.

Only seeing him smile as he took the microphone from Biyu's hand, he addressed the crowd, "Everyone, happy New Year's Eve; after enduring this year's great battle's baptism, we have achieved proud results, and at year's end we also welcomed many more companions. At this moment when the new spring approaches, we have prepared a set of songs, hoping to bring everyone joy tonight."

"Well, no more idle talk—let's begin."

As Qin Ge's words fell, a tuba sounded, and a bleak feeling spread across the venue.

The piano accompaniment gradually rose; Dunkeerk stepped forward first, and her clear, lovely voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Blades gripped tight, a song soars high."

"War flames rise again, we await with anticipation." Ta Shi Gan.

"Listen closely, watch closely; wind and clouds are coming." Tianying.

"Death arrives as scheduled; the legend endures." Hai Qi.

"The bright moon will not return; madness descends upon the world." Ou Gen Qin Wang.

"Advance and retreat together; nothing is unfavorable." Lie Ke Xing Dun.

"Blade light and sword shadow, the world's end." Ai Hang.

"Please listen, O warrior's eternal song!" Guanghui.

Accompanied by the lingering, ancient music, Qin Ge's guitar also gradually began to play; the tune slowly grew lively, completely dispelling the earlier heaviness.

The people on stage also became lively, gathering around Qin Ge to sing together an eternal starlight.

Of course, afterward, each person sang a song, including Qin Ge who sang one as well. After the crowd stepped down, the formal part of the reunion party officially began.

As the crowd gradually went on stage to begin performing, Qin Ge returned to his seat.

"Somewhat unexpected; that opening song, I haven't heard it before, but it feels very epic—who composed this piece?" The seated Emperor Frederick across the table asked Qin Ge.

"That song is called Warrior's Eternal Song; it's relatively short but leaves a lingering impression, so I used it as the opening music. It's a song I used to enjoy listening to in my world." Qin Ge explained.

"Indeed, it does have a certain flavor, but it's surprising that the commander's base can actually remember all those scores." Enterprise smiled.

"Ha, how to put it—I once had a youthful period; upon hearing some pleasant tunes I liked to jot them down, but it was merely a rough approximation.

I also specifically sought out Lie Ke Xing Dun, told her this song, after which she added some of her own insights, and successfully composed this piece." Qin Ge said.

"Lie Ke Xing Dun is quite talented; she can be considered an idol of the Spring Port Area." King George V laughed.

"Ha, indeed, I had only heard rumors before; when I went to consult, I only then realized how strong Lie Ke Xing Dun's musical expertise is, and she even wanted to rope me into choreography, but I'm really not up to speed on that." Qin Ge laughed.

"Hehe, no way—Commander, you actually dance social dance very well." Weineituo smiled.

"Social dancing is something trained; this is also thanks to Guanghui and them." Qin Ge laughed, "By the way, have you prepared any programs? I didn't check the program list this time, so I still don't know."

"Of course there is." King George V laughed, "It's a swordsmanship demonstration, performed together by our Royal Knights."

"Choral and orchestral." Emperor Frederick said.

"Rome said they wanted to perform a dance, so we arranged it that way." Weineituo said.

"Wuzang, what about you?" Qin Ge asked Wuzang.

"Sword dance; that's my forte." Wuzang smiled.

"Lisailiu, how about you?"

"Opera and sung poetry; the rest I'm not really good at." Lisailiu said.

"Opera is quite good; as for me, my sister, and Bumblebee the three of us, we're preparing to sing together." Enterprise said.

"Yixian, how about you?" Qin Ge asked the Yixian beside him.

"Yixian and Zhenhai the two of us are preparing to play the zither and sing; have you ever heard the Song of Everlasting Regret, Commander?" Yixian smiled.

"I know, that's Bai Juyi's piece; the instrument seems to be the pipa." Qin Ge said.

"Right, looks like the sea's not wrong; Commander, you're indeed quite capable in literary scholarship." Yixian said.

"Ha, I only know a little about the famous stuff, but I'm still really looking forward to your performances; I hope everyone tonight can be happy and joyful."

"The commander is the same."
