The president's son then led the crowd to Hawke and introduced them to each other. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Hawke ordered Hanks to be lifted from the hospital bed to a courtyard with flowers and trees. Then, he stretched out his hand to the middle-aged uncle who was lying on the stretcher on the ground, and recited the incantation: "The spirit of the earth, the mother of all things." The spirit of the sacred tree, the body of all things. Please give this life a new existence..."--Rebirth.

I saw a green shoot break through the ground beside Hanks, and began to grow rapidly, growing into an emerald green shrub plant more than a man tall and with broad leaves in a short time.

The plant then wrapped its broad leaves around Hanks' entire body and lifted him into the air. At the same time, many flowers and trees around it stretched out thick vines one after another towards the plant.

Next, the vines were firmly tied to the shrub leaves that wrapped the middle-aged uncle. In a short time, a cloud of tender green mist poured out from between the gaps in the leaves of these huge shrubs.

At the same time, the newly grown shrub and the vines that bound its leaves began to wither and wither as the green mist poured out. The huge leaves that wrapped the middle-aged uncle also began to turn yellow.

Eventually, the whole plant and the vines with their leaves tied around them withered to the point of decay. Hanks walked out of the pile of rotten leaves.

Seeing this, Tina hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the middle-aged uncle's demeanor and demeanor, and asked, "Hanks, how are you feeling?"

Hanks felt his body feel extremely light and happy, as if he had changed to a new one, and responded to Tina: "I feel good, there is no problem at all." ”

Then, Hanks turned around and told Hawke, "Vice President Hawke, I can leave with you tomorrow." The middle-aged uncle had already heard about Hawke's introduction, and was so healed by the vice president, so he thought that the other party and himself should belong to the same kind of people. -- The kind of person who is loyal, but who is regarded as an alternative by others because of his dress and personality.

Hawke responded, "Okay, then that's it." Then the vice president left here and went straight to a research room he had rented in Nancheng District. Seeing Hanks standing in front of him with a radiant look, his body was in full recovery. Leonard and others had a much changed impression of Hawke. From the first time they felt that the vice president was a strange and terrible wizard, to the fact that this person's skills were indeed extraordinary, they recognized that Hawke was fully qualified for the position of vice president of the mercenary association.

Early the next morning, Hawke led more than 3,000 mercenaries, including Leonard, out of the north gate and left Bagram City.

As soon as he left the city gate, Hawke turned around and shouted at everyone: "Because this is a secret mission. We will not use any means of transportation, we will walk to our destination and camp along the way. Have you brought all the things you need to bring?"

More than 2,000 retinue mercenaries who were carrying dry food, tents, pots and pans and other necessities behind their backs, who did not hold shields or wear armor, and only carried offensive weapons such as swords and swords, replied in unison: "Bring them all with you..."

Then, Hawke arranged Leonard and the others in the same brigade as himself: "Then, I will come to the detachment now." First of all, Leonard, Kevin, Mel, Tina, Hanks and myself are all core members of the Central Brigade. In addition to this, the ordinary members of the Central Brigade were..."He very carefully divided the more than 3,000 mercenaries into several brigades, and appointed the captains of each brigade, squadron, and squad respectively.

After Hawke made the arrangements. Bran suddenly rushed to the front from the back of the group, looked into the face of the vice president, and said, "Hawke, don't forget me. ”

Hawke asked in a calm tone, "Bran, why are you here too?"

Bran asked the other party rhetorically, "What, don't you welcome me?"

Hawke's tone didn't change in response: "It's not that you're not welcome. It's when I'm not there. Your role is to assist the President in handling the day-to-day affairs of the Mercenary Association. ”

Without hesitation, Bran explained why he came: "The president watched my performance in the arena team competition, and instructed me to go out and explore, just like he did when he was younger, to see more of the vast world outside, and to learn more unknown knowledge before coming back." Accordingly, the closing of the mercenary conference was dealt with. I have come to you as he commanded me. ”

Hawke then arranged Bran with him, beckoned all the members to leave immediately: "Since it is the president's arrangement. Then I don't have much more to say. Bran, you belong to the same brigade as myself, and you are also a core member of the Central Brigade. Let's get started now. ”

Before she could go far, Tina found an opportunity, approached Hawke's side, and asked with a smile, "Vice President Hawke." What is the content of that secret letter, and what kind of task are we going to carry out now?"

On the way to the Republic of Vosfitta, whoever asked Hawke about the secret letter and the mission, including Leonard. The vice president would use exactly the same two sentences, and the tone was unusually calm to refuse: "No comment." When it's time to know, everyone will understand. ”

A few days later. On the premise that repeated attempts have been fruitless. Tina deliberately alienated Hawke, who was at the front of the group, taciturn, aloof, and completely unapproachable, and came together with Leonard, complaining: "I found that Hawke is not an eccentric. ”

When Leonard heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "What's that?"

Tina still relied on her mage's instincts, and from the bottom of her heart, she didn't like an indifferent weirdo like Hawke: "It's completely emotionless! You see that he covered his entire face tightly with strips of white cloth, so that we couldn't see his expression at all, we didn't know what he was thinking, whether he was crying or laughing." The tone of his voice was also extremely cold. No matter how much you ask, you will always use the same two sentences to prevaricate you. I think it's possible that if he tricks us into selling us. ”

Hanks followed in Tina's footsteps, patting his chest and assuring conceitedly, "Miss, even if he wants to trick us into selling." With me, he wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous. ”

Hearing this, Tina shook her head and categorically denied Hanks's assurance: "Hanks, did you understand what I said? That's not what I said at all. ”

Hanks immediately put his right palm into his bandana, scratched his scalp, and asked completely incomprehensible: "What does that mean?"

Seeing this, Leonard, who was standing near these two people, stretched out his hand to point at them, and whispered a smile to Bran beside him, "What do you think the two of them look like?"

When Bran heard this, he smiled evilly and whispered: "A suitor who tries his best to express himself in front of his girlfriend, but is completely illegal. The other is like a princess who doesn't appreciate this at all, and only treats the other party as a servant. ”

Seeing this, Tina leaned over with interest and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Bran smiled and explained, "We're saying: Hawke isn't really a bad guy either. It's just that it's normal for a guy like him to be obsessed with spells and can't extricate himself from his wooden personality and indifferent to everything else. We should not presumptuously judge the underlying facts because of these superficial phenomena. ”

Hearing this, Tina put away her smile and defended her attitude more seriously: "But I think he's not just a problem with Mune..."

When Bran heard this, he hurriedly gestured to Tina, and lowered his voice and whispered, "Even if Hawke is really that kind of guy." At present, we do not have any evidence to expose him, so we can only wait and see what happens. Beside the president's son, the other companions nodded their heads when they heard this, and did not continue. Since then, no one has asked Hawke about MeSign and the mission.

Within a few days, Hawke led the group through the border between the Duchy of Bagram and the Republic of Vosfitta, arriving at an outpost guarded by the First Army of the Republic of Vosfitta.

About a kilometer away from the outpost, Hawke ordered the mercenaries: "You all stand by here. I'll come when I go. Then, alone, he went to the outpost of the Republic of Vosfitta. Seeing this, Bran hurriedly took out a pair of binoculars made of brass from his backpack and began to closely monitor the vice president's every move.

I saw Hawke go straight to the outpost and muttered a few words to the two guards. He was then let go and entered the main tower of the outpost. Half an hour later. I saw the vice president lead a middle-aged man wearing an animal skin shirt, an animal skin hat, a wooden longbow, a hunter-like attire, and a short beard on his face out of the watchtower together.

Hawke then returned to the place where the mercenaries were on standby with the Orion disguise, and said loudly: "Everyone, listen. This gentleman is our guide on this mission. Under his guidance, we will enter the territory of the Lars Empire and continue our next classified mission. ”

When a young mercenary heard this, he asked himself, "What? I thought the mission was over?"

Beside him, another mercenary who was a little older immediately retorted: "How can there be such a good thing?"

When the mercenaries present heard this, they all started to discuss: "I didn't expect to go to the Lars Empire..."...

Some people who are not determined to be determined immediately complained: "When will the mission be over?" and "Where is this going to be?" It's not surprising that these people are lowly and rarely willing to hire, so it's not surprising that they complain like this.

Seeing this, Hawke threatened loudly and appealed: "Whether you want to or not. Now that you have signed a contract with the association, you have to fulfill your obligations. But if anyone insists on leaving, I won't force them to stay. However, after returning home, he could not get it from the association, and he had to pay the guarantee deposit for the refusal to perform the contract.

In my own name as the vice president of the Mercenary Association, I guarantee that after the task is completed, you will not be paid less. When the mercenaries heard this, they immediately seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and they all quieted down, and no longer continued to be noisy and uneasy.

Seeing this, Tina hurriedly pulled Hanks aside and whispered to him: "I'm going to the Lars Empire." This matter is very likely to be related to the imperial brother. Hanks. From now on, please keep an eye on that Hawke's every move. ”

Hanks whispered: "Yes!" So on the next road, the middle-aged uncle no longer followed Tina closely, but quietly followed not far behind Hawke, closely monitoring the other party's every move. The 3,000-odd mercenaries then traveled north, passing through the town of Sida, where they were replenished with water and food. Then, under the guidance of their guides, they climbed several mountains and quietly entered the territory of the Lars Empire through mountain paths.

On this day, Hawke led his men up a small hill again. The mercenaries then hid in a forest at the top of the mountain. The vice president held a low tree with his left hand, stretched out his right hand and pointed to a large farm at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and asked the mercenaries present loudly: "Everyone stop. Have you all seen the manor down the hill?"

When the mercenaries heard this, they rushed forward one after another, and looked at the farm from afar: "I see." ”...

Hawke nodded his head with satisfaction: "It's good to see it." ”

Hawke continued to raise his arm, pointing to the farm, and told all the mercenaries on the scene, "Then I'll tell you now." That's what we're targeting. The crown prince of the Lars Empire was kidnapped by a group of militants not long ago, and is now being held in that manor. In order to clear the suspicion of our mercenary association, President Andy hereby appoints me to lead all of you to this place, vowing to rescue the crown prince of the Lars Empire. That's all there is to this classified mission. ”

When a mercenary captain appointed by Hawke heard this, he couldn't wait to raise the big sword in his hand and was about to rush down the mountain with his subordinates: "Then let's rush down the mountain now and rescue the crown prince." ”

Seeing this, Hawke immediately stopped the reckless behavior of the mercenary captain: "Do you want to take matters into your own hands and disobey my orders!? You must understand, we still don't know where the crown prince of the Lars Empire is being imprisoned in the manor. If you endanger the safety of the hostages, can any of you afford to take this responsibility!?"

In the face of Hawke's majesty, the mercenary captain immediately stopped his reckless actions, lowered his head, apologized to the vice president and asked, "I'm sorry." So what do we do next?"

Taking advantage of this chaos, Tina hurriedly pulled Hanks aside and whispered, "Hanks." It seems that the royal brother was not kidnapped by the mercenary association. The Duchy of Bagram also did not actively expand its armaments, and it was not good for the Lars Empire to unite with Vosfita and other countries. We must tell our father about this as soon as possible. ”

Then, under the cover of Hanks's lookout, Tina used a spell to summon a white carrier pigeon to deliver a letter for her. Then, with a spell, she quickly wrote a letter, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and released the pigeon into the air.
