Once again, Rien recalls the information he had received from the head of the "Intelligence Bureau", Rector Arandall.

Lloyd Bannings is accompanied not only by Lisa Mao, but also by Randolph Orlando, who is currently the instructor of Class VIII Tactics, Elle McDowell, the granddaughter of Speaker Crossbell, and Theo Prato, the development master of the Epstein Foundation, a giant in the scientific community.

In addition, there are Sergei Ro, Noelle Sika, and members of the old Crossbell garrison, who have taken refuge in the mountains and relied on the favorable terrain to resist stubbornly.

Of course, there is also Lane's second senior brother, the "Sword Saint of the Wind" Arrios Marklein.

When he saw this top-secret information at that time, Li En was stunned. The land of Crossbell is a state, and it has gathered such a powerful force.

That Lloyd Bannings was really lucky to have met such a reliable group of companions.

However, in this regard, Lane will not lose to him.

Lloyd's companions were outstanding, as were his Leyne's companions, and there were more of them than Lloyd.

Alyssa, Laura, Elliot...... Names flashed through his mind, and Riene, who was reminded of his thoughts, whispered.

"I really miss it."

"What do you miss?" Altina answered with a blank face, "That pair of giant bouts?" ”

"Clams?"

Rien never dreamed that Altina would come up with such a sentence.

It's really big, but what does it have to do with me?

Altina glanced at Rien, who had an embarrassed expression, and the inorganic substance on her face became more and more intense:

"Is such a big reaction because I said it? Sure enough, the instructor is an obscene person, and the growth I just said must also mean this. ”

"It's not!" Li En desperately denied, "How the hell did you come up with this?" ”

What are you kidding, if it goes on like this, my reputation will be finished.

"Combine the various performances of the instructors!"

Seeing that Altina said so firmly, Yuna couldn't stay calm anymore, and took a few steps back while holding her chest.

"Teach, instructor, I can't imagine you are such a person."

"It's all said, it's a misunderstanding."

Lane subconsciously stepped forward and wanted to explain.

Yuna reflexively took two steps back: "What, what misunderstanding?" You, don't come here......"

“……”

Lane felt that the current situation was simply terrible.

Obviously, I wanted to better get closer to the students and better teach them to promote their growth, so I took a slightly different approach, after all, I may not have enough time to teach by word and deed like the first time.

After all, his goal is to reverse the future and create a different ending, and there are more and more important things waiting for him to do.

But he never expected that his painstaking efforts would make such a situation worse than the first time.

Obviously, he has already used the "principle" of the "Sword Saint", is his "Sword Saint" fake? "Li" is actually a parallel import? Nothing else except for knives?

No way, you forced me to do a trick.

At this point, in order not to let the situation worsen and really scare Yuna away, Lane decided to sacrifice a trump card that should not be played at this time.

"Don't be so vigilant, Yuna, and don't listen to Artina's nonsense, even if I saved you once, you should know something about my reputation."

"Ah~" As soon as she said this, Yuna really stopped retreating, and put down the hand covering her chest.

Kurt and Altina next to him also cast curious glances.

"Saved you?"

"When did it happen, why didn't I know?"

Rien is increasingly confused about what is in Artina's little head - why should you know?

But now is not the time to delve into it, and as long as he doesn't continue with that awkward topic, Lane doesn't mind saying more.

"It was just over a year ago when I first went out to face the Republic of Calvard, and I was on my way from the Governor's Palace to the 'Tangullam Gate'. At that time, a high-speed airship of the Republic lost control for some reason, fired indiscriminately, hit a civilian transport truck on the ground, and three children fell out of the car, one of which should be you. ”

The state of Crossbell in the Erebonian Empire was originally not a territory directly under the Empire, but was jointly administered with the Republic. Because of its important geographical location, the two largest countries in West Semuria wanted to swallow this piece of fat, but no one could help anyone, and finally this strange way of belonging appeared, which lasted for 70 years.

However, in the past two years, under the influence of the Empire's mutation and the promotion of the "Iron Prime Minister" Osborne, the Empire's military strength has been greatly improved, leading the old enemy Republic in an all-round way.

So the empire brazenly sent troops and took Crossbell into his pocket.

The Republic of Calvard, of course, will not rest on its laurels and send a heavy force to retake Crossbell.

More than 100,000 troops from the two powers fought a fierce battle at Crossbell, and the result of the war was that the Empire relied on Rian, the "Grey Knight", to defeat the Republic with overwhelming force.

But after all, the war happened, and no matter what, the people of Crossbell were frightened and even injured and died, and Yuna was one of them.

What was hidden in his heart, no secret told by anyone except his family was exposed, and Yuna's toughness on the outside no longer existed, and she just looked at Rien in a daze.

"Ah, yes. Does the instructor remember? ”

"I remember, but I didn't connect with you at first." Lane scratched his head and said half-truths, "Until just now, seeing the way you looked just now, at that time you also protected the two younger children like this. ”

"That's my brother and sister, because of the conflict between the empire and the republic, I want to send them to the safer village of Almolica."

Yuna subconsciously explained, and then, as if realizing something, she leaned down sharply and bowed deeply.

"Yes, I'm sorry, instructor. Since then, my siblings and I have always wanted to say thank you, and should have done so when we saw you, but because of our feelings for the Empire, I, I—in short, am really sorry. ”

"It's okay. You and your younger siblings are victims, and you wouldn't be in such danger if there was no war. ”

Lane was sincere in what he said, and he had already been through four wars before starting over.

The Imperial Civil War two years ago, the Battle of Crossbell between the Empire and the Republic a year and a half ago, the "Northern Campaign" that annexed Northumburia half a year ago, and the battle of "Earth Dragon and Thousand Suns" that will engulf the entire Western Continent half a year later, when the Empire marches across the whole of West Semlia and sweeps the entire Western Continent.

Because I've seen too much, I know very well the cruelty of war and the harm it does to the people, and I can also understand Yuna's inner contradictions.

If he could, he wanted to stop the "Earth Dragon and Thousand Suns" that had caused countless sacrifices, and although he hadn't thought of a solution yet, he wouldn't give up.

Even if this kind of thing can happen all over again, what's impossible?
