|||->-> A large group of people are leaving the barracks, and of course, the most conspicuous of them is the regent Lin Yuanming. It's just that his current appearance is a little sad, and he is even more lacking in confidence.

And on Lin Mingyuan's side, Generalissimo Shen Mengting also walked around with him. Her current expression was also extremely serious, and she didn't seem to have the slightest hint of lightheartedness.

"Uncle...... Do you really want to leave?" Shen Mengting always looked straight ahead with her eyes when she asked this sentence, and there was not even a trace of deviation.

If you really want to look at the momentum she is showing so far, it really has a sense of helplessness to the extreme.

"Mengting, Uncle can't help it, you should understand that even in this barracks, I can't make any contributions. Besides, the king also wants me to go back, and Qingcheng is the place where I can best display my ambitions. Lin Mingyuan also looked ahead, and sighed again and again.

The regent Lin Yuanming proposed to leave the barracks and return to Qingcheng, which happened suddenly yesterday. Although Shen Mengting had been prepared, she still felt some regret for the departure of the only regent who understood her.

It's been almost a few days since we last visited Vortex Town. There is no change in the military camp on Sauron's side at the moment, and I don't know what bad ideas they are thinking again.

Shen Mengting was deeply disturbed by this, and she knew that this atmosphere was a little quiet moment before the storm.

"Alas, Uncle Lin, though he said so, he ...... I really wish you could stay here. Because you're there, I feel ...... I feel that my heart can be steady. Shen Mengting let out words with frustration.

"But Mengting, it's impossible for my uncle to accompany you in the military camp for the rest of my life, I have to go back to the national capital after all. Moreover, you must also learn to face many things on your own, just like your father and Yang Jiening. ”

"Yes, I understand. But...... Both of them are the best generals, but I ......" Shen Mengting slowly lowered her head, and her sadness was more obvious.

"You are also the best general, and this is what I will always and always do. So Mengting, don't lose your confidence!"

Listening to Lin Mingyuan's words, Shen Mengting's heart suddenly swelled with a hot current. The heat stirred desperately in her chest until she stopped her forward steps.

Originally, Lin Mingyuan hadn't realized anything, but after walking for a while, he realized that Shen Mengting in the afterglow had disappeared. He himself quickly stopped, and then turned back.

Seeing Shen Mengting stop in place, Lin Mingyuan asked in surprise, "Mengting! what's wrong?"

Shen Mengting quickly glanced at her, and this was also the first time she made eye contact with Lin Mingyuan, "Uncle, I ......"

"What the hell is going on?"

When Shen Mengting raised her steps again, her eyes no longer looked at Lin Mingyuan, "Uncle, I have never ...... I never felt how good I was. On the contrary, I have always thought that I am quite bad, I can't compare with my father and Uncle Yang Jiening at all, I am too far from them. ”

Shen Mengting kept walking around until she overtook Lin Mingyuan, who was still stopping and turning his head.

The head followed Shen Mengting's crossing and looked ahead, and the regent of Lin Mingyuan finally raised his steps again, "Mengting, you must not be so self-confident, in fact, you are really very good, even if you are not as good as your father and Yang Jiening now." Yet, one day, you will be able to reach their heights, even ...... Completely surpass theirs. I'm not talking nonsense, I believe that this day will come. ”

As the speech deepened, Lin Yuanming and Shen Mengting were parallel again, but the two of them did not look at each other again, as before. It seems that always looking straight ahead is a tacit understanding that the two have already made.

"Uncle is really a winner, but I ......"

"Mengting! Don't be so unconfident. You know, you're replacing those two people. At the same time, you are also a monument to our King of Salan!" Lin Mingyuan said so surely, leaving no room for a tactful turn.

Shen Mengting was a little speechless, her pace increased a little, and her gaze looking straight ahead became sharper, "Yes...... Yes, yes, I really pray that one day I'll be able to completely replace the influence of those two people. ”

The phrase 'actually replaced now' has always been hidden in Lin Mingyuan's heart, but he feels that the time has not come, so he plans to mention it later!

"Mengting, but Uncle has another word to mention to you here, which is a sentence summed up by the elders. Lin Mingyuan looked at Shen Mengting's side, he no longer avoided the girl's gaze.

should have heard that the regent's tone had become a little more solemn, and Shen Mengting gave up the tacit understanding reached between the two before. She also looked at Lin Mingyuan, still in that straightforward style.

No matter what happens in the future, don't try to complete it like a hot brain. You have to think about everything in your head first, and then think about how to accomplish it after a few seconds. Lin Mingyuan's current expression was extremely serious, and his eyes were full of compelling sharpness.

Shen Mengting heard the implication of this sentence, and she chose to lower her head, "Uncle, I understand." In the future, I won't be impulsive anymore. ”

"No, no, no, Mengting, I don't mean to accuse you, I just want you to understand one thing. Now you are no longer the yellow-haired little girl, you are now the generalissimo. Everything you do and every decision you make in the future is always related to the safety of our country. Therefore, I really hope that before you do anything, you must think carefully and carefully, and do not be blocked by certain feelings and emotions, so as to make a move that is difficult to return. ”

When Lin Mingyuan said this, his movements were also very cautious. One of his index fingers was outstretched, hovering around his east cheek.

Shen Mengting was silent for a while when she heard this, but after exhaling deeply, she still nodded slightly.

"Well, I believe Meng Ting already understands this truth. However, the reason why I focused on mentioning it was not because I wanted to warn anything, I hope Generalissimo Shen doesn't mind!" Lin Mingyuan suddenly made a respectful gesture, and he was about to bend down and bow.

This move honestly caught Shen Mengting by surprise, and she hurriedly waved her hand to show her 'innocence', "Uncle, no......! I can't bow to the juniors. ”

Shen Mengting's reaction was relatively fast, she directly stepped forward and pulled out Lin Mingyuan's arms, which had already dropped halfway, and forcibly lifted him up, "Uncle even if he really has the idea of warning me, I will definitely accept it all." I, Shen Mengting, will always be the same Shen Mengting, and I will not change my uncle's mind because I became a generalissimo. ”

Both of them seem to be told the truth, like two sculptures. There were soldiers passing by, and they all threw surprised glances at them.

Shen Mengting only felt that the current atmosphere was a little strange, and she had to make a move to hold the regent's arms.

Lin Mingyuan quickly showed a hooked smile, and his body straightened up, "Well, I believe you, Uncle Mengting's character never needs to worry." Well...... "But," said the look on his face when it turned serious, "there are some things I still have to tell you." ”

"Uncle can come and tell me anything directly, and I will definitely remember it in my heart. ”

"Needless to say, I'm just talking to you about something from my heart. Lin Mingyuan lowered his head slightly, and then began to walk again.

Shen Mengting also 'obediently' followed, she made a look of listening carefully, and looked extremely humble.

"Actually...... Mengting: This time, the king summoned me back to discuss something with the other three regents. ”

As soon as she heard the words 'the other three regents', Shen Mengting immediately showed a crooked mouth, "Ah? What can these compromise factions negotiate with them?"

"Mengting, don't talk like that!" Maybe because of walking too much, Lin Mingyuan was already a little panting at the moment, "I believe that they will not mention any more compromises in the face of the country's righteousness." After all...... It is also an indisputable fact that Sauron's army has assembled in preparation for an invasion. ”

Shen Mengting didn't continue to respond to anything, just used the word 'cut' to express her dissatisfaction in her heart.

Lin Mingyuan quickly glanced at it, "I think it's the case, even if I'm not sure, but it should be ** not far from ten." ”

"Oh, uncle, what's the matter?"

"Mengting, you should know the difference in strength between our Saran and the Sauron Empire, right?"

"I know, of course, that this is also a headache for all of us Saran officials. ”

"So...... If we only rely on Saran, we will not be able to confront the Sauron Empire!"

Shen Mengting blinked quickly when she heard this, "Uncle! Actually, it's ...... Can't be so sure, right? I think...... If our whole country is united, we will still have the qualifications to wrestle with Sauron. ”

"But the problem is that with our national system, it is very difficult to have a pattern of unity of mind. ”

"But isn't this recruitment strategy a good way to show the cohesion of our country?" Shen Mengting stepped forward step by step, and her hands were unconsciously put behind her back, "In fact, the current situation is not deteriorating to the extreme." Now, the recruitment policy that we have implemented in many towns has been matched by many young people, and this is definitely a great addition to our military strength. Only with new reinforcements will I believe that the Sauron Empire will no longer treat us as meat that can be cut off casually. ”

"Oh, is it?" Lin Mingyuan's expression was starting to become heavy, "But, Mengting, have you ever thought that even if all the young people in our country go to the battlefield, they still can't compare to Sauron in numbers." You know, they're known for having an army of millions, so I've always felt that no matter how hard we tried, it would be difficult to fight that terrible enemy. The difference in strength between the two countries is something that cannot be ignored here. So...... I think that we in Salan should find some allies and helpers, that is, we need some external forces to intervene to help us get through this crisis, and this is the most important thing. ”

Shen Mengting's eyes began to roll in her sockets, "The external force intervention that my uncle refers to should be the group of elves in the Principality of Aria, right?"

"Well, Meng Ting is really smart! I know which strength our country needs most at the moment. ”

"I understand the strength and importance of the Duchy of Aria, as my father has told me. ”

Since our country cannot confront the enemy, we must find a more powerful backer. From the current point of view, the Duchy of Elia is the most suitable. Besides, it has helped us before. ”

"I understand that, and I don't contradict it. If I can find the support of the Principality of Elia, then I must be very happy. Although Shen Mengting said this, in fact, her face turned to the opposite position of Lin Mingyuan.

"Mengting, if you can understand, it's good. In fact, there are some things that I don't dare to say openly, but things have come to this point, and I don't think there is any more shying about it. Lin Mingyuan's two already silver-white eyebrows were lowering, which made his expression very sad at the moment, "Mengting, you should know the gap between us and the Sauron Empire!"

Shen Mengting's eyes quickly glanced towards Lin Mingyuan's direction, "Well, I understand! As I said just now, I don't resist relying on foreign intervention. ”

"I know you don't resist, but there's something I still have to tell you. Since the gap between us and the enemy is too great, it is only natural that we should find a stronger umbrella, right?"

Shen Mengting pursed her lips, and she kept nodding her head up and down slightly. And, of course, there are a lot of random 'uh-huh' words that come out of the mouth that has been synthesized into a gap.

"Mengting!" Seeing Shen Mengting like this, Lin Mingyuan also accentuated his tone.

Seeing this, Shen Mengting no longer made a sub-confrontation, she still confided helplessly, "I really don't contradict anything, the Principality of Aria is a country that can be trusted, we all understand this." ”

"It's good that you understand. I guess the king summoned me back this time to discuss with the other three regents and ask the Duchy of Elia to intervene quickly. When the time comes, we won't be alone in facing the Sauron Empire. After all, the Duchy of Elia is the most powerful nation in Celos, and their participation is sure to deter the Saurons. Only then will we be able to avoid that crisis. ”

Shen Mengting gasped slowly, "Well, Uncle is right. It would be great if the Duchy of Elia could be asked to intervene. It's just that...... Will those elves come to help us for free? I don't think so, they're not charitable. ”

"We all know this!" Lin Mingyuan's facial features began to crowd, "but no matter what, it is better than being annexed by the Sauron Empire." I don't think every Saranite wants to repeat the footsteps of those three human nations. ”

The 'three human states' in Lin Mingyuan's mouth obviously referred to those annexed by the Sauron Empire.

"Well, that's not bad! So here, Meng Ting still hopes that her uncle can succeed! As long as I can catch all the forces that oppose the Sauron Empire, I will approve of it. ”

"Oh, then Uncle is going to thank Mengting here!"

At this time, the group of them officially came to the gate of the barracks. It seems that many soldiers are already in place at the gate, and their duty is to escort the regent Lin Mingyuan back to Qingcheng.

Lin Mingyuan did not step out of the barracks at the first time, but stopped and stood sideways, and bowed to Shen Mengting again. But Shen Mengting was still busy trying to stop her behavior, and said, 'Uncle, don't do this again'.

Lin Mingyuan also straightened up, he and Shen Mengting stood opposite each other, and the distance between the two was only one meter.

"Mengting, I'm leaving!"

"Uncle, be careful along the way, Meng Ting is still waiting for your letter of peace in the barracks!"

"I understand this, and I will write to you as soon as I arrive in Qingcheng. Of course, I will also inform you of everything that happens in the capital. You don't need to worry about anything anymore. ”

"Ah!" Shen Mengting was a little flattered after hearing this, "That's really thank you, uncle." ”

"No thanks!" Lin Mingyuan hurriedly raised a hand.

Shen Mengting felt that her heart was much more relaxed at the moment, but she still gasped for several breaths, "Uncle, I firmly believe that we will definitely be able to get through this time." ”

"Well, it's good to have a spirit of conviction, and I'm sure you'll get things done. ”

"So...... Uncle, let's go!" Shen Mengting immediately made a 'please' gesture.

Lin Mingyuan was not ambiguous, and after he nodded with a smile, he was about to officially set off. He came to the side of a subordinate who happened to be leading a horse. Obviously, the horse is officially the mount that Lin Mingyuan wants to sit on.

"Mengting! Uncle is leaving. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Shen Mengting also raised her hand.

For some reason, Shen Mengting only felt that the current atmosphere was a little strange, with a hint of sadness. She watched the Regent and the group of soldiers leave until they disappeared into the distance.

"Uncle, you are in Qingcheng, and you want to bless us...... Win this war!" As the sadness superimposed, Shen Mengting seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and a little wetness oozed from the corners of her eyes. But it didn't take long for her to forcibly suppress this emotion, and she quickly revealed a strong countenance.

"I'm not going to throw in the towel...... Forever!"

She then went to the barracks and strode again, without looking back again.

The crisis of the Sauron Empire has always been like a sword coiled in her heart, lingering in Shen Mengting's heart forever.
