Galen and Bobbi returned to the command building, where they saw Justin and several Greys from the War College, who had arrived for a long time.

"Lady Castin, masters, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"General Galen, we haven't been here for long, but we just happened to see you show your might, and you deserve to be the first fierce general of Demacia. We are here to tell you the good news that the newly built super-large teleportation array has been completed. ”

Kestin pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile.

"Really? That's great!! When will it be launched? ”

Galen finally heard the best news in these days. I was also quite excited.

"It can't be opened for the time being, General Galen, and now the entire teleportation array lacks an operation center and the guardians responsible for opening this teleportation array. The operation center had to follow the support forces of the War College to arrive here, and the gray-robed guardians who activated the teleportation array also arrived at the same time as this unit. I expect that within two days at the earliest and five days at the saddest, they will definitely be here. ”

"Two to five days? It's a lot slower than I expected.,Hey.。。 Captain of the guard, help me get my binoculars. ”

The captain of the guard standing in the command building immediately went to the side shelf and removed a flannel box, and when he opened it, there was a delicate telescope with a gold and silver surface.

Galen picked up the telescope, pulled open the telescope's three-section telescopic rod, and looked into the distance.

Just by looking at it, Galen's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and his heart was cold.

The tall figures of a dozen or so hills showed a clear figure in the telescope. They were mountain-tall monsters, with huge maws, gray-brown armor, thick lower limbs supporting huge bodies, and four shorter limbs wielding their upper arms, each with three sharp, dark claws.

Galen had seen this Void Monster in the atlas given to him by the War College, and it was on the last page, and it was also the most dangerous of the known Void Monsters, a type of monster known as the "Devourer".

According to the description in the atlas, these monsters can devour all lifeforms with energy, and when absorbed, their bodies will skyrocket. Depending on the size of the bio-energy, the proportion of their stature skyrocketing also varies. According to the atlas, a devourer that escaped from the spatial rift appeared in the Acacia region of the Noxian Federation, which was only 5 or 6 meters tall at first, and in the process of escaping, it devoured dozens of soldiers and hundreds of civilians, and finally increased in size to more than 30 meters. It took an entire brigade of Noxus to surround him, and a team of the War College and three Grey Guardians fought together to kill him.

A devouring monster of more than thirty meters needs such a force to fight. How to stop the dozen or so "devouring monsters" in the distance that are hundreds of meters high?

Galen looked silently into the distance and was silent for a long time.

"Lord Galen? What do you see? Can you give me a glimpse of what the enemy looks like? ”

At this time, Poppy asked by tapping her fingers lightly on the armor around Galen's waist.

As a yodeler, Bobby can only reach Galen's waist, even though he is considered tall among yodelers. However, standing with the burly Galen, he still looked too thin.

Galen was silent for a moment, then handed the monocular in his hand to Bobby, who was beside him.

Just when Poppy took the telescope and just opened her eyes to the hole, she felt a heavy blow to the back of her neck, and the blood supplied to the brain from her heart was instantly stopped, and after a black look in front of her, Poppy fell to the ground gently.

All the officers in the command tower looked at Galen in surprise, wondering why he suddenly attacked the unsuspecting Major General Bobby.

No one dared to ask before Galen opened his mouth to explain. Only Kestin lifted her gold-wire glasses again, looked at the fallen Poppy, and then at the monocular she still held in her hand, and seemed to understand something.

"Ms. Castin, could you please do a little favor with a few masters?"

Galen leaned down, gently picked up the petite Bobby, and walked over to Kestin and several gray robes and said.

"Command, General Galen. If we can do it, we at the War College will not shirk it! ”

"Okay, then I'll bother you. Please help me bring Poppy to the Super Teleportation Array area at the rear of the battle line, and if you can, use the Teleportation Array to take her back to the War College. As a yodel, she has done enough for us Demacia. The next battle is a battle that belongs to us Demacia! I don't want her to die here in vain. ”

Kestin didn't immediately agree, and after a moment of thought, Kestin spoke, "With all due respect, General Galen. Although I can say yes and do what you ask. But have you ever wondered if Poppy would accept it when she woke up and found out what you were doing? Perhaps, this is not the choice she wants? ”

"It's okay, I've already made this choice for her. In terms of rank, I am her superior, and in terms of age, I am her eldest brother. As an older brother, I want to protect my sister! Anything, it should be me in the way, not her. Can you please take care of her for me? ”

"Okay, then I get it, I'll do it. Hopefully, in the rear, we can still hear the news of your big victory. Take care, General Galen! ”

Kestin took the little Bobby from Galen's hand, and one of the gray robes behind him went to pick up the huge warhammer that Bobby had left behind. The group walked down the command building and left the super barrier.

"Lord Galen! Why did the people at the War College take Poppy?? ”

When Galen was about to walk down the command building, Galio, who had hurried to hear the news, stopped him and asked.

As the guardian hero sequence of the entire Federation of Demacia, Galio, who has the largest body after transformation, has become close friends with Poppy, the skinniest in the Federation of Demacia, which once made many people not understand the reason.

However, Galen is quite clear about this reason, because Galio is different from a human body, so many people are not willing to interact with him too much, Poppy, as a yodeler, due to her short stature, is also an outlier in the eyes of normal humans, but she poured out her true friendship with Gallio, which made Gallio deeply moved, and he followed Poppy to join the Demacian army.

"Galio, the next battle may be a battle of life and death. Are you willing to let Poppy die here? ”

Hearing Galen say it so bluntly, Gario shook his head repeatedly.

"I don't want to. Therefore, in order to protect Demacia behind us, to protect our relatives and friends, so that they can see a better tomorrow in this beautiful rune continent, we may have to make some choices today. Again, you can now choose whether to go to the rear and escort Bobby away with the War College men, or to fight to the death with me until the last moment when the Super Barrier falls. ”

The wings spread out behind Galio's back gradually retracted, he stood solemnly in front of Galen, crossed his hands, saluted Galen with an ancient etiquette, and said in a firm tone, "As the oldest Durang stone statue clan in the Rune Continent, since I awakened my consciousness and was born, the first person to regard me as a normal kind is Bobby, and the second person is you, General Galen!" Moreover, you are the most respected person of me and Bobby, and the greatest of all the heroes of Demacia, and I ask you to forgive Galio for his previous unruliness in the army. Today, allow me, Galio, to accompany you in the fight to the death! ”

Since Galio accompanied Poppy to join Demacia's camp, in addition to Poppy's request, Gallio disobeyed any military orders, until he later got acquainted with Galen, he has always been very incomprehensible to Poppy's blind worship of Galen, until after fighting again and again, after contact again and again, Gario also began to open his heart to Galen and was willing to accept Galen's orders, but that was limited to Galen.

After hearing Galio apologize for what happened before, Galen reached out and patted Galio's arm, smiling slightly.

"Herald!!"

"Here! General! ”

"Let all the reservists at the head of the city quickly withdraw to the main battalion. In addition, he immediately sent people to urgently notify the troops in charge of Zhao Xin and His Royal Highness the Prince, who had rushed to the rear to reinforce them, and asked them to rush directly outside the super teleportation array area to build a second line of defense. ”

"Yes!"

"Dreadnought Vanguard Legion, Banner Commander!!"

"The subordinates are here! My lord! ”

"Inform all generals with the rank of second lieutenant and above to quickly assemble in the area of the city wall in front of the command building."

"Yes! My lord! ”

"Captain of the Guard!!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Say, after the Super Barrier is lost, take my seal and lead all the reserve soldiers and wounded soldiers in the rear to evacuate here and withdraw to the second line of defense."

"My lord! I'm not leaving, my subordinates ask you to change someone else to carry out this order......"

It was the first time in years that the captain of the guard had defied Galen head-on, so his voice grew quieter, but his determination was clear.

Galen turned his head and silently looked at the captain of the guard who had accompanied him for nearly eight years, he sat from a colonel to the position of today's general of Demacia, but this person couldn't get rid of it, refused all kinds of promotions and transfers, and has been willing to be a small guard captain by his side, and the rank is only a captain, which makes Galen's heart full of guilt countless times.

"Shadow!! I know what you mean! However, as a friend, I still hope that you can carry out my orders. You are the one who has been with me for the longest time, and it is up to you to convey the order for this last retreat to convince more people and reduce a lot of trouble. In addition, you are also a veteran of the Dreadnought Vanguard Legion, and you know more about the history of our unit. From scratch to the current scale, but after this battle, the Fearless Vanguard may no longer exist, but I hope that people will remember their glory and continue to pass on the spirit of our Legion. The soldiers of the reserve may well become the next dreadnought vanguard legion, but they cannot lack a spiritual guide. No one can replace this except you, understand?! So, old friend, please! ”

It had been many years since Galen had called out the full name of the captain of the guard for many years since he became the Grand General of Demacia, and this time, he put aside his status as a general and began to communicate patiently with his captain of the guard as a friend.

For many years, I haven't heard the general call his full name, and for more than eight years, he has trained with Galen, reorganized his troops, and fought together...... These memories of the past brought tears to Yingxi's eyes instantly.

"My lord, my subordinates ......"

"Needless to say, Shadow, the future of the Dreadnought Vanguard is your mission now! Immediately, carry out the order!! ”

“…………”

This time, Shadow didn't speak, he wiped a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes, put his right hand on his shoulder, knelt down on one knee, gave Galen one last military salute, and then turned to leave.

The super barrier commanded downstairs, and the drums of the drums were beating more and more rapidly.

On the broad city wall, the officers of the Dreadnought Pioneer Regiment and above were neatly arranged in five rows, each with 20 people, all looking resolutely ahead.

Galen stepped down from the command tower and came to the phalanx.

The gaze rested on each officer's face in turn, as if to remember something deeply.

At this time, the black shadows of the dozen or so hills in the distance were already visible to the naked eye, but none of the soldiers standing on the wall showed panicked looks.

When all the reservists withdrew from the city, there were still more than 40,000 soldiers left on the entire super barrier defense line that stretched for dozens of miles, which was also the only remaining soldier of the Dreadnought Pioneer Legion. Together with the soldiers who died before, the total number of the Dreadnought Vanguard Legion is 97,912 people, and all of them will fight here.

Many years later, in front of the disappearing super barrier, a towering monument was erected, on the surface of the monument, there was no dazzling and flashy text, only a huge line of numbers and a line of small characters carved: "97912 - Fearless Pioneer Army!" ”
