The unhindered fleet went all the way, and since Beichen Xihe opened this new route, it was no longer a delusional thing to pass through the Yuan Chu Realm.

Van Saldo touched his bald head, which had age spots, leaving only the crescent ring of hair to look a little abrupt on his head. The warriors on the ship had just come out of the Yuan Chu Realm, looking a little excited, and they were happily talking about the monsters they had just seen, if those sea beasts attacked, they would definitely not even have scum left.

But the strange beasts of the sea don't seem to be interested in them, and the fast-moving ship is not as interesting as a fat stupid fish.

"Alright, stop making trouble!"

As soon as the bald old man spoke, the happy warriors on the deck immediately quieted down, and they quickly stood up and formed a neat square formation of seven columns and eight rows.

"Full speed ahead, no landing on the way!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers in seven columns and eight rows all saluted and then returned to their respective posts, moving quickly and never dragging mud and water. This is a special team under Van Saldo, and the people in it are all at least lieutenant-level war masters, their strength is above two large star clusters, and there are a few people with star gods, and their combat power is very strong!

If it weren't for the special nature of this mission, the headquarters would not let an old man go out in person.

"Lieutenant General, we will be able to reach the Western Regions Boundary the night after tomorrow!"

"Good!"

The colonel, with his arms outstretched, feeling the wind on the deck as the soldiers walked away, said:

"The steamship invented by the headquarters is much faster than the previous sailing ships!"

Large ships fueled by anthracite ore are more than twice as fast as sailing ships, which generally travel at about seven knots per hour, while today's steamships can reach sixteen knots per hour. It's an exaggerated concept, like a real-life tortoise and rabbit race!

Coupled with the increase in the output of the power of the star cluster and the smooth sailing in nature, the steamship can depart from the easternmost port of the World Government and reach the Western Regions in as little as a week, a speed that no one had dared to imagine before. When creating the "Creation Route" of the Yuan Primal Realm, it took nearly five years for the King Mercenary Group to prepare and complete!

"Yes, although the king of mercenaries has always disagreed with the leader, he still has done some good things, such as this route, which can be described as the progress of the times!"

The old man is old, but not confused. The army is his home, and he gets along with young people every day here, much better than in the retirement center. If he had been in that kind of place, he would have been too old to speak.

The army is good, there are many young people, they are simple-minded, square and square, although they are a little reckless and ignorant, but they can let him learn a lot of new things. The more you use your brain, the more flexible you become!

"Colonel, go and collect the flag!"

"Lieutenant General, are you confused? We haven't hung the flag since we came out of the Yuan Chu Realm. ”

"Oh oh! People are old and forget. ”

The old man, who was not tall in stature, and was rickety, and therefore appeared a little short, walked before the colonel, and said:

"Colonel Mangkhut, don't forget to remind me that when you get to that island of ruins, you must repeat the mission for me. ”

"Don't worry, Lieutenant General, I believe in you!"

"Believe what?"

"I'm sure you won't forget the mission!"

The bald old man had a kind face, and a man of the major's age was about the same age as his child! In fact, he had no children, and even if he had, he would be older than the major! The reason why he thought this was because he regarded Colonel Mangosteen as his own child.

"I'm not a young man like you, the older I get, the more forgetful I become~ When I'm your age, I can remember every action of the girl I like, every word I have said to her, don't look at me now, there is no girl I can't catch up with before!"

Van Saldo straightened his waist with some pride, the major believed what he said, Van Saldo is his idol, he has dedicated his life to justice and light, and he has never had a family so far, what this kind of man said is worth his believing!

Mangosteen said with some curiosity:

"Lieutenant General, you are two generations higher than me, and I have never heard your story, why do you still have no family?"

Van Saldo was thirty-three years old by age Mangosteen's grandfather, and his era of the world government army was almost none. Few people in the world government talk about his past, because many people don't know about it, but no matter who it is, they all have special respect for him, and even the decisions made by the admirals can change a few points!

At this time, Van Saldo smiled and said with a flat face:

"Mangosteen, this world is full of flowery bastards, and there are also infatuated species everywhere, tell me, do you have a woman you like?"

"At the moment...... Not yet!"

"You'll have it later. ”

When Van Saldo said a girl or a woman, his hands trembled with excitement, and he used his fingers to make a vertical "one".

"I didn't have a woman I liked, I only liked one girl since I was a child. ”

Walking on the deck, Van Saldo's complexion slowly regained its youthfulness, as if returning to his childhood, he said:

"If you want to know my story, I'll tell you it. It was when I was thirteen years old, and for the first time in my life I fell in love with a girl named 'Little Girl', who was only a year younger than me, and neither of us was rich, and we lived together in a harmonious town. It is said that 'the daughter is rich, the boy is poor', and she has a piece of world currency as pocket money every day. ”

Van Saldo smiled happily, his face was full of wrinkles, and it must be a memory that will never be forgotten to make an old man who has seen through the world smile so happily.

"At that time, one dollar was about the same as now, I could buy two pieces of candy, he would give me one every day, we would go to class together, we would go to the field together to bring food to my father, and sometimes when I was tired, I would carry her. Our two families are neighbors and have a good relationship, so her father said: "Now be neighbors, in the future it is better to be in-laws, my father happily agreed, since then the two families have come closer! I didn't know what it means to like, but when I was thirteen years old, I held her hand for the first time. Ah~"

He exhaled, tears rolled up in the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, what a nostalgic moment. Mangosteen looked at Van Saldo, he had an ominous premonition, big people always have an unspeakable past, and it is precisely because of the rarely talked about past that they will be extraordinary in their lives!

"That hand-holding was because I made a music box for her with my own hands, and her hand was scratched, and she was so distressed that she grabbed my hand and cried, and I wanted to laugh and cry at that time. I kissed her on the cheek for the first time when I was fourteen, and I wanted to grow up, like marrying her, but before she could reach adulthood, before I could grow up, she left me. ”

A tear fell from his cloudy eyes, and his tears were silent, like a trace of love in the red dust. Mangosteen's heart was sour, he couldn't imagine that a person of Vansaldo's age could still shed tears.

Van Saldo guarded an era, the guardian generals were changed twice, the guardian Guangqi Wangshu came to power, and the new era turned the page, but he did not protect his only lover!

How sad it is, like a finished love song that no one sings in duet, and no one listens to the tear-jerking words. All the women who fell in love with him slowly passed away without the passage of time. He matched his comrades-in-arms, matched his subordinates, he helped everyone around him to pursue a better half, but he was the only one, and he participated in the funerals of his old comrades-in-arms many times, and every time he came, only he was alone.

"Lieutenant General, let's not talk about ......"

"It was her sixteenth birthday, and there was a bunch of hateful bandits in town......"

Van Saldo could not speak any longer, he wept and mourned, his whole body trembled, and the loose flesh on his face trembled. In his mind, there was another scene of blood-red screams, the people of the town were slaughtered, the red-eyed bandits saw who killed whom, he remembered the girl's blood-stained face, he remembered the shouts of his parents to protect him and let him run quickly. Then, his father died tragically under the knife, and his mother's waist was broken!

He has been running, and he has the first small star cluster in his life, and since then he has embarked on the road of war division. Van Saldo remembers that he fell, he remembers that he woke up to the sound of flames, that he was rescued by the World Government after falling into a ravine, and that the entire village had been cremated.

He knelt in front of the cremated crowd and wailed, he lost everything, and all the good in his world was shattered in this instant!

His girl, the only person he fell in love with, and his parents, the few good people in their town. They didn't do anything wrong!, but with his dream of marrying red makeup, he was burned by the flames, and the mad Van Saldo rushed into the flames, wanting to see her one last time before the flames burned her face.

The officers and soldiers of the World Government held him with tears in their eyes.

"Little brother, don't! they're gone, don't!"

"Don't be impulsive, live, you're the only one who survives!"

For some reason, Van Saldo's strength at that moment was so great that he broke free from the thick arms of the three men, but he was held down at the last moment when he rushed into the sea of fire.

"The people in the neighboring village say that your name is Van Saldo, and when you hear it, you are the name of a hero, and there are bandits at large, do you want to save more people?"

Every teenager has a heroic dream in his heart, and Van Saldo looks at the blurred sea of fire with tears as if he saw a girl's face. He nodded at the Major's face, and from then on donned the blue and white cloak of the World Government.

Van Saldo exhaled a few times, and his flushed face slowly returned to normal. Because this matter cannot be changed, he is not trapped in the past, nor is he limited by his feet, but he will still be angry, this is the only thing in his life that he will be angry as long as he thinks about it! It is a great shame for a man to not be able to protect the person he loves because of his own lack of ability!

"Okay~ It's over, that's probably it, I rarely say it to others, and I even forgot the last time I talked about it, you know that you have to keep it secret for me, and you can't just say it. ”

"Don't worry, senior!"

"Go and do your thing!"

"Yes!"

"That's right, Mangosteen!"

Mangosteen nodded solemnly, and his steps stopped in the air.

"When you meet someone you like in the future, you have to tell me first, I will help you chase her, no matter how the times change, love will not change. ”

"Definitely!"

"Go ahead!"

Mangosteen walked with the wind, and turned his head to see Van Saldo standing in the bow of the ship, he was the leader of the new era, he witnessed the world government step by step towards prosperity, and now he is facing the challenge of the Gade army!

"What an epic character!"

Mangosteen saluted his back, what a respectable senior!

On the third day and night, they arrived at the Island of Ruins, and Mangosteen did not alert Van Saldo, who had not forgotten about it. Since Piercing Star will send him, he must believe him, Van Saldo, who has the title of "Hero of the Times", is really forgetful, but he forgets all the unimportant little things, and he has never forgotten the slightest major event.

Van Saldo, who had long looked down on the world, didn't care about the number of faces and etiquette, and directly asked Yangpu to take him to the important place.

Van Saldo followed by Mangosteen, and behind Yang Pu was Yang Xin Muzi, and they walked together to the land of Meng's ruins, the steel frame only allowed one person to pass, the patrol soldiers lined up in a line of five people retreated, and the four walked to the stone egg under the leadership of the expert in charge of the general project.

Even though he had been in office for more than two years, Yang Pu had only come down once, and he stood next to Van Saldo, who asked:

"How's it going?"
