"General Fano," Roy asked Fano who accompanied him as soon as he walked out of the garden, "the Grand Duke said that Uncle Luke led people out of the city. Which way did they go?"
"Leaving the city?" Fano shook his head, "The report I received half a hour ago only said that they were packing up and preparing to leave the city. Now... they probably haven't set off yet. You go to the military camp and have a look."
"Okay, thank you." Roy smiled, said goodbye to Fano, spread out his body and walked out of the castle, heading towards the south gate barracks.
A few minutes later, he had arrived at the military camp.
When I arrived at the headquarters of the Knights of the Southern Cross, I saw people shouting and neighing, and it was a busy scene.
The knights are preparing their bags.
Judging from the things on the horse, this was obviously more than a simple outing for training.
However, Roy couldn't care about it now and walked inside.
After a brief daze, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned around to salute Roy.
To be honest, although everyone confirmed through Fano that Luke was Roy's butler, before Roy showed up, Luke's decision to pull the entire knights out of Munich for training still left everyone a little confused.
It felt like I just followed people away in a daze without even regaining consciousness.
As soon as Roy appeared, everyone immediately had a backbone.
More and more knights noticed Roy's appearance.
Everyone gathered around and saluted and greeted each other on both sides of the passage. Following Roy's footsteps, the noisy and busy station soon became quiet.
"Huh?"
In front of the station is the largest wooden house, which is the meeting room of the Knights.
Luke, Bai He and others were gesturing around a sheepskin map in front of the huge wooden table in the conference room, arguing about something, when they suddenly realized something was wrong.
It seems too quiet outside.
Luke walked to the window and took a look outside. His eyes suddenly opened wide and he said in surprise: "It's the young master!"
He walked quickly to the door: "The young master is back."
Upon hearing this, Bai He and others felt a rush of blood rush to their brains. Everyone looked at each other and rushed toward the door.
As soon as they went out, they saw the young man walking from the separated crowd.
"Master." Luke walked quickly to Roy.
"Luke." Roy and Luke hugged each other and turned their attention to a group of old knights under the eaves of the wooden house.
"Master, let me introduce you. The tall guy's name is Bai He...this guy's name is Mi Xiao." Luke excitedly pulled Roy and walked to everyone, introducing him one by one, "This is Leng Jin.
This is the monsoon... They are all like me, they were the ones who came out to look for you back then."
While introducing, Luke also told Roy about the experiences of these people.
"The place Bai He went to was the Tianxue Plateau north of the border town of Longmen. He stayed there for fifteen years. The mountains there are covered with heavy snow for most of the year. But because it leads to the central Monster Mountain Range, there are many fugitives, and Bai He has been
Inquiring about your information there..."
"Micho went to the Porto Porto Underground City at the junction of Saxony and Sinasili. It is the only way for many fleeing people to go to the sea to escape disaster. He opened a small shop there..."
"Ji Feng went to the Murphy family and worked for that family for eight years. He was responsible for their intelligence system. Although the Murphy family is not well-known, they are well-informed and have a deep relationship with Ignorance Hall. Through the Murphy family,
Springboard, Ji Feng entered Ignorance Hall and became a third-level deacon..."
Listening to Luke's introduction, Roy's eyes swept across the faces, and his eyes became moist.
Although Luke's introduction could condense their experiences into one or two sentences, Roy knew that those few dozen words contained their lives.
These eleven people are named Mi Xiao, Leng Jin, Ji Feng, Bai He, Zhou Dingbei, Zhang Hengyuan, Xu Nanxing, Ke Zhan, Zouling, Wang Zhenmo and Shi Chuanhai.
Although it was only his first meeting in his life, for some reason, he didn't feel any strangeness to the faces in front of him.
Because he knew that long before they met, the lives of these people and his own had been tightly tied together by an invisible thread of fate.
When they are on the run, they are looking for themselves.
When they were hunting in the Warcraft Forest, they were looking for themselves.
When they were playing with Oliver, they were looking for themselves.
When they lay on the small bed and fell asleep, they were still looking for themselves.
As they grow up day by day, they also grow older day by day. In the past ten years, their time and their lives have all been invested in themselves.
Roy didn't know how tortured it was to wait and search for more than ten years, and to be alone away from his loved ones for more than ten years.
But he understood that he owed them a debt that he couldn't repay in his life!
The old knights looked at Roy with excitement and hesitation.
With Luke's confirmation, Roy's identity was undoubtedly conclusive. However, the face in front of him had nothing to do with the one in his memory.
What's more, after more than ten years of searching and waiting, and now finally meeting someone, everyone has an incredible feeling.
Seemingly understanding what everyone was thinking, Roy said: "Let's go in and talk."
With that said, he walked into the wooden house first.
All the old knights followed.
When Luke finally closed the door, Roy released the imprisonment armor and returned to his original appearance.
Looking at this handsome face, the eyes of the old knights immediately turned red.
"It looks so much like the old leader..." Mi Xiao murmured, his eyes blurred with tears.
"This mouth and nose are exactly the same as those of the young regiment leader. He is from our Hanshan family, so there is no mistaking him." Bai He grinned and wanted to laugh, but the sound that came out was a howl.
The old knight, who was nearly two meters tall and as strong as a big white bear, cried like a child when he burst into laughter.
Leng Jin stared at Roy, as if he couldn't take his eyes away from his face for a moment. He only murmured: "I found it, I really found it..."
As he spoke, he slowly bent his knees and knelt on the ground with one leg.
All the old knights knelt down.
They looked up at Roy, tears suddenly welling up in their eyes and falling to the ground in large drops.
For more than ten years, they have imagined this moment countless times.
But the long years of searching and waiting only resulted in disappointment again and again.
Time is eroding life.
From the prime of life to old age, the days that pass by silently are a dose of poison, making people feel miserable every time they look back on them.
But looking at the young man in front of me at this moment, everything was worth it.
This boy who was poisoned by the saliva of a poisonous dragon at the age of two, was hunted and wandered around the world, has now grown so tall!
He looks so handsome, like his grandfather, like his father, and like his mother. More importantly, he is still alive and standing right in front of him.
Now that he is here, the past anger, humiliation... everything that the Hanshan family and the Farrington Knights have endured are no longer important.
He is hope.
When he is here, what should be paid back will eventually be returned, and what should be taken will eventually be taken back!
Because he is here!
Tears flowed freely on the wrinkled faces of the old knights. Many people were so excited that they clenched their fists with their hands or clasped the ground, unable to control themselves for a while.
Tears finally burst out of Roy's eyes. He quickly stepped forward and helped the old knights up.
Leng Jin grabbed Roy's arm, stared at him for a moment, and then hugged him tightly.
The old knights all rushed forward.
One by one, they hugged Roy with great force.
For a long time...
The atmosphere is solemn and warm.
Feeling these solid hugs, Roy's nose felt sore, but his heart felt warm.
He surrendered instantly.
The tenacity and ferocity honed in the Warcraft jungle since childhood, and the hard heart wrapped in layers like a beast, are completely vulnerable to such an embrace.
I don’t know how long it took before everyone’s emotions gradually calmed down.
Roy transformed into Leo again.
He walked to the wooden table, looked at the map, and said to Luke: "I heard from the Grand Duke that you are going to pull the knights out of the city for training?"
Hearing Roy mention this, a group of old knights became energetic and gathered around him.
"...Young master, you need to find someone else to train your knights? Isn't this a joke!" Zhou Dingbei said, "Leave it to us, and we promise to return you an invincible knights within three months."
"that is!"
"It's okay if we don't know. Now that we know, why do we need others to interfere?"
"Hey, if that's the case, we won't be able to see anyone when we go back to Farrington."
"Master, let us train your people. Not to mention those crazy people at home, at least few of those bullshit knights from the three major empires are our opponents."
Everyone was talking a lot, as if they were afraid that Roy would be worried.
They have stayed outside for more than ten years, away from the war, and have long been itchy. Although they cannot return to Farrington now, they have such a team for them to train, and they cannot let go no matter what.
Roy waved his hand: "Of course I'm not worried about your training. But..."
"What's wrong?" Leng Jin asked.
"I'm afraid we don't have three months to train," Roy said thoughtfully, thinking about the situation in the north, "I came back this time just to prepare to go north as soon as possible..."
As he spoke, he explained the current situation to everyone, focusing on Bandez's current situation.
He originally thought that when he came back, the training here would be almost complete.
Unexpectedly, Adolf actually... This completely disrupted his plan.
The old knights all looked at each other.
They already knew about the demon clan going south.
They also heard from Luke that their young master also had a territory and an army in the north.
But I didn't expect that the situation was already so bad.
After thinking for a while, Leng Jin said decisively: "Then let's not delay. Let's just go north now and practice while walking!"
"Yes!" Luke's eyes lit up and he agreed.
Roy was a little confused: "Practice while walking?"
"Master, our Farrington cavalry was never trained on the training ground," Bai He patted Roy on the shoulder and said, "but was trained in battle."
"Yes, young master," another elegant old knight named Xu Nanxing said with a smile: "Just now we were discussing where to find some opponents to train our team. Since you want to go north, it couldn't be better...
…”
He tapped the map on the table with his hand: "It's more than ten thousand miles from Lulian to the Land of Chaos. Bandits are rampant along the way. Let's kill them all the way. It's the best."
The old knights all nodded, saying what they said made sense.
Looking at Xu Nanxing's smiling face, and looking at the normal expressions of a group of old knights, Roy suddenly felt his scalp numb.
He discovered that even after being away from Farrington for more than ten years, killing had already penetrated into the bones of these old knights.
"Kill all the way from Lulian to the Chaos Land?"
If anyone else had made such a suggestion, they would have been regarded as crazy.
But in their opinion, it is indeed a matter of course.
As long as it's good for training, they don't care how many people they kill. Those bandits are just the nutrients and whetstones for the growth of the Knights of the Southern Cross.
Roy now began to feel sorry for these bandits.
#######
Three days passed in a flash.
Because it was decided that the whole regiment would go north and train while traveling, Leng Jin, who was elected as the chief training officer, simply ordered a two-day holiday for the knights to prepare their bags and say goodbye to their families.
After all, once a year goes by, you never know when it will come back.
Under such circumstances, the movements of the Southern Cross could not be hidden from anyone, and the news spread throughout the city almost instantly.
Of course, no one knows the specific goal of the Knights. Everyone only knows that this team, which has not even completed basic training, is about to set off north.
The time of departure was even before many lords who had already prepared for it.
Everyone had mixed reactions to the news.
…
When Renault received the news, he was already on the Sky Demon Ship. When he unfolded the information brought by the Xin Falcon, he was silent for a long time, his brows furrowed.
After a long while, he said calmly: "He is indeed a young man."
There was no praise or blame in his tone.
At that time, Ans Ayer was standing next to Renault.
This time he will follow Renault to the imperial capital and join the Tomahawk Knights.
In Lulian, this collateral descendant had already shown his courage and wisdom. Therefore, Renault believed that he was qualified for a higher starting point.
As for Lulian - since Renault has personally reached a consensus with Adolf, then it is enough to leave Charles alone.
And Renault personally took Ansel back, which was an attitude.
This means that no one in the Renault family will look at Ans Ayer with contempt anymore, no matter his origin or his strength.
Renault's attitude says it all.
Therefore, when standing next to Renault, Ans Aier's heart was filled with excitement and gratitude.
At that moment, one sentence almost came to his lips.
But he finally swallowed it.
That was Roy's secret, and he decided to keep it secret unless necessary.
…
The time when Scott got the news was before Reno.
He was training the Lulian army. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in the direction of the Knights of the Southern Cross, snorted coldly, and turned his horse's head.
"Raise your gun! Triangular attack formation, let's do it again..."
From beginning to end, he never made any comments about it.
…
"Miss."
Ralph, who was dressed in armor, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and stared at Scarlett who was quietly lost in thought on the swing in the garden.
Scarlett held a piece of paper in her hand, her eyes flashing.
He looked a little shy and a little excited.
"Miss!" Ralph emphasized his tone, trying to dispel Scarlett's thoughts.
He had seen the same look on Scarlett's face many times, but never once was it a good thing.
"Ralph," Scarlett turned around and stared at him, her eyes pleading, but her tone was unquestionable, "You should follow me this time."
Ralph's face turned pale.
"The prince will kill me..." he said, then paused, "The madam will too!"
Scarlett had already turned her head away.
She smiled, with a hint of fascination, and gently swung on the swing.
…
At the South Gate Military Camp, a girl walked to the gate of the Knights of the Southern Cross under the leadership of the guard.
When walking through the military camp, everyone who saw the girl would be slightly distracted.
This is the most beautiful and delicate girl they have ever seen. The white robe worn on her is far more exciting than the gorgeous dresses of those noble ladies.
Landreault came out after receiving the news, and when he saw the girl, he was also a little absent-minded.
"Afu?!"
Afu looked at him with a smile.
"What are you?" Landero greeted him in surprise.
Behind him, after receiving the news, Lake, Larry, the barbarian female warrior Tusu, the dwarf warlock Lacios, the thief Franco and others also came out.
As soon as they saw Afu, everyone was very happy and surrounded her to say hello.
"Why are you here?" Tu Su held Afu's hand.
"Are you coming to see us?" Lake asked with a smile.
Afu pursed her lips and smiled: "Where's Leo?"
"Look," the dwarf warlock Laxios shouted, "What am I talking about? This girl is here to find Leo..."
Boom! A snow bomb hit Racios.
Amid the laughter of everyone, a miniature ice and snow storm was dancing in Afu's fair and slender little hands, her cheeks were blushing.
"Okay, okay." Landreaux quickly stopped Afu.
"Hmph." Afu curled her lips, glared at Lacios threateningly, dismissed the storm in her hands, and asked: "I heard that you are planning to go north?"
"Yes." Landero nodded, "Are you here to say goodbye to us?"
Looking at Afu, everyone felt a little emotional.
The mercenary team that was temporarily organized to enter the abyss, except Afu, is now in the military camp.
This makes everyone feel a little regretful every time they talk about Afu.
Everyone clearly remembers Afu's grace in battle, remembers the dozens of ice and snow banshees she released, and remembers the overwhelming terrifying magic beneath her weak and harmless appearance.
It is no exaggeration to say that this team can create miracles in the abyss, and Afu's contribution ranks second.
Especially the cooperation between this girl and Roy has reached the point of understanding each other.
Often it only takes one look to know what the other person will do.
It's a pity...
However, when the look of regret flashed across everyone's eyes, Afu was already smiling and said: "I came here this time because I want to go with you."
What?!
Everyone couldn't turn around for a moment and were stunned.
"Why, aren't you welcome?" Afu still smiled, looking soft and weak.
