The walls are tall and sturdy, and at the same time, the gloomy obscuration of any light cast by the sky, always gives the impression of black oppression when standing here, which may be the natural fortress of the Kamen Headquarters that is not lost to the army.

Unlike the location of the army base, the headquarters is built on a hillside, with the river not far from the gate, and the moat behind it. In the hearts of the fortress masquerades, this place is impregnable and unbreakable, and they are proud of it.

Don Quixote and the rest of his comrades were not far from what they thought was true, and though they were not overly proud, he was deeply impressed by the courage of the fortress and the powerful deterrent power of the commander-in-chief himself. Today, I still come to the main gate of the city wall to be on duty as always, although I am the lieutenant colonel of the headquarters, but I still need to manage the size of the fortress, just like a nanny born for the fortress.

"Yo!" As soon as the handover was completed, Don Quixote seemed to hear someone not far away coming to talk to him. The defense of the morning shift was always a little lax, and the commander-in-chief seemed to acquiesce to the fact that everyone could chat a little. At this time, this partner, who is rarely seen, came over in the costume of a guard: "Lieutenant Colonel Don Quixote, have you heard?" The current army is coming, and I heard that this encirclement and suppression of ancient creatures has decided to use a hybrid of the current world and the other world, what do you think? ”

Looking at the expectant eyes of this junior lieutenant, although Don Quixote didn't drink, but his face slightly red with pride expressed incomparable superiority, he just shook his hand calmly, pretending to be very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, who let his subordinates watch: "Not at all, I don't know how the commander-in-chief and the lieutenant general of the headquarters decided, but this time the candidate is really reckless." ”

Don Quixote smacked his lips again, and without giving his subordinates more opportunities to ask questions, he explained his point of view: "If this expedition is as always sent by Lieutenant General Dante or Mr. Vaux, then there is nothing to say." The two of them have outstanding achievements and feats, and they will surely win in terms of people's hearts, strategies, and strength. But boy, do you know who the Commander-in-Chief's letter of appointment has been assigned this time? ”

The little soldier shook his head dumbfounded, as if he could still see the snot hanging from the cold wind. In the face of such subordinates, Lieutenant Colonel Don Quixote shivered and rose even more happily, seemingly keeping warm, but in fact he wanted to show that he was more sophisticated and unique than the person in front of him. He said slowly: "This time the person is a little girl in the world, probably so tall hehe. Moreover, from the beginning of the organization, the living troops are very young and inexperienced. The plot reports that the young man in this team probably looks more orthodox than Colonel Kate, and the others."

"Isn't there also Lord Charles, the heir to our commander-in-chief?" This time, the little soldier's reply preempted the pretending boss. His eyes radiated a youthful and urgent light, which reflected that this person had no city government at all.

Don Quixote just shook his head silently, revealing an even more dissatisfied look: "You don't know at all. It's all a matter of the upper echelons. Some time ago, Major General Charlie was directly captured by the commander-in-chief, and I heard that he was locked up in the underground confessional, have you been there? It's like hell. In my opinion, Major General Charlie is just a little girl who relies on relationships to get to the top. That kid is immature in his thinking, isn't it the act of working hard and hurting money when you look at a team of people? ”

After saying this, Don Quixote picked up the matter of Liya and spread rumors, he kept saying that Liya became an official by connections, but he could not deny his origin as a lieutenant colonel; He kept telling his subordinates that the team's seniority was not enough, but his own mobility was equal to 0.Even so, Lieutenant Colonel Don Quixote could still happily tease with the soldiers. He can still use his own mouth to say that no matter what the reason is, he can win a round of applause in the end, this is his purpose and value.

"But I've heard rumors that this little girl in the world is not small, and very mysterious," the guard's voice became quieter and quieter. It's easy to think of ghost stories on a summer day rather than talking on a cold-winded wall. Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Don Quixote was always an expert on big talk, and this taboo news did not take Don Quixote seriously at all.

He laughed, his voice hearty as if it was about to shatter the ice at the base of the wall: "You know. No matter how capable she is, she's a after all. And this leader is about the same age as my niece. A girl running around all day to fight, not an outing, but a war, what do you think? ”

The guards who threw the hot potato at himself in one gulp were obviously inexperienced, and he did not seem to have the miraculous teasing skills of Lieutenant Colonel Don Quixote, and although the most used on the tongue was not to be useful on a real battlefield, it made the little subordinate envious.

“”

"So, the little girl should go home quickly" Suddenly, Don Quixote's fox-like eyes formed into a straight line, and through the fog from above, the lieutenant colonel saw something with his first-class farsightedness. That's why his words came to an abrupt end, and on the far side of the river, there seemed to be a herd of cattle-like figures approaching. Don Quixote, who had only this in real combat experience, immediately realized that it was a group of men and horses, and they were approaching

After about ten minutes, the bell rang up and down the entire fortress, and this bell, along with the beacon fire at the top of the cliff and the horn at the mouth of the valley, became the three symbolic buildings of the headquarters. When the guests come, the bell must be ringed, when foreign aid and foreign orders are sought, the beacon fire must be lit, and the whole headquarters needs to be united in hatred of the enemy, and the big horn will be sounded when a qiē is put down to fight the foreign enemy together. In the last forty years, there have been beacon fires, but no one has heard this horn, and the entire fortress has been extremely safe for forty years.

At this moment, the bell rang like a signal to return home, but it was like an echo to the soldiers on the battlefield, who could not only inquire but also march strongly. Of course, before the city could greet him, Don Quixote had to take on the role of gatekeeper and go down to count the team. Even if he himself knew the composition of this team, even if he had only used it as a capital to talk about not long ago, the inspection would continue, and if necessary, give some necessary deterrence to the outside mask and combat power, this was the favorite thing of the gatekeeper Don Quixote, because the commander-in-chief had to obey orders such as handing over his weapons and letting them go

A gleeful Don Quixote was already standing on the inside of the gate, and he and his assistant were gazing at the massive steel-cast gate. For those who love the fortress, this is the godly being.

At this moment, the gate of this place slowly opened, because it was opened from within, and there was not a trace of noise in this door, and it was more like the gate of heaven that conferred favors than the majestic gate of a fortress. Outside the gate, a little sunlight shimmered through the doorway and illuminated the stone pavement of the city.

Outside the gate, a carriage and a procession of more than a dozen knights were not spectacular, but they suddenly looked heroic in the daylight, and this powerful image greatly frustrated the owners who opened the city gates. Especially the slightly proud heart of Don Quixote himself.

The first person who fell into his field of vision was Colonel Kate of the Army, a young officer with a white horse and white clothes, and a white mask when he fought. Of course, this is also the person who Don Quixote is naturally close to the past. He walked slowly over and took the colonel's horse, and then began to greet the voice like "Hello Colonel, I have heard of the great name for a long time, this time leading the troops" The sentence that was not said by the hard work, and Don Quixote, who had lost the second half of the sentence, was stopped by Kate's words.

"Hello. But I'm not the commander-in-chief of this team. ”

"But who could it be?" Don Quixote was also searching, looking for the little girl who had never met somewhere, and the opportunity to taunt and tease that could be caught, which was not rude to the commander-in-chief's gatekeeper, as it should

"It's me." A figure jumping off not from a horse, but from an open carriage. Don Quixote was startled at first, not so much surprised as he was joking with joy. Although he himself knew what kind of commander this commander was, he was not good at riding horses. Where exactly will this pull the average of the team?

"With all due respect, why don't you ride a horse, is it because the army is running low on horses, or maybe your horse has been killed on the way?" Don Quixote, who pretended to be respectful and respectful, obviously said this with a heavy mockery, and he wanted to wipe out the face of the commander and the last vestige of confidence in the team.

But. No one sued him, and the girl named Ueno Dark Fragrance didn't hear any emotion in the other party's tone at all. Not even the slightest complicated smell of mockery could be smelled, she continued to maintain a calm and gloomy expression, and replied positively without changing the speed of her voice: "It's not that there is a problem with the supply of the army, and it's not the loss of horses beforehand, those of us who can't ride horses come in carriages, what?" Do you have an opinion? ”

On the other hand, this sudden rhetorical question left Don Quixote himself speechless, and the girl's voice did not change from beginning to end, and this depressive voice had been annihilating the newly lit fortress since just now. The officers, who could have watched the excitement, no longer had the heart to tease the little girl.

"Come in, then. But "Don Quixote, who smirked evilly, saw Zach, the unpopular necromancer, which may be why Satario was determined not to come here. "All non-masked personnel, please surrender their weapons here, and we will do our duty as guards." His accent was strange, and it had already aroused the dissatisfaction of many manpower, but the commander Ueno Mika still didn't notice it.

The girl didn't speak for the time being, and the meaning of the announcement was that of Leah and Zack. It's just that in the face of Zack, Don Quixote did not answer his question at all, and complete ignorance was the best way to find the necromancy; As for Lia, Don Quixote just replied, "It's the new rule, my lord, how long have you not followed the rules?" The words that almost made Leah fall off their horses immediately caused everyone to stiffen, leaving everyone to go back the way they came.

"I refuse, weapons are the root of a warrior, and Zach and others are my friends. You are questioning the warriors in a vain attempt to subvert our beliefs; To despise strange manpower is to oppose my companions. If you don't want me to force your way through, let me go as soon as possible. Ueno's words were still at that speed, but the way he spoke was that kind of lettering made everyone around him stunned, because it seemed that an invisible tentacle was strangling everyone's neck.

"Bold !!!" Having said that, Don Quixote, who was in a cold sweat, did not expect the siege of the soldiers in the city, because everyone seemed to be pinched, and in an instant, all the soldiers were given by this little girl

"Release." The man who said this had a rational and rigorous voice, and there was strength in his deep voice, and Ria saw that he was trembling, and Don Quixote was kneeling even more reverently. He was none other than the master of the fortress, the commander-in-chief, Strauss himself. "Nice eyes, the little girl I saw in this world before is gone."
