Chapter 1208: Memories of the Past

According to Lu Xi's arrangement, the friends then left the island on the Qiyao Aurora. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen everyone first arrived, it was really just a small island that could barely be seen on the map, but by the time they left, the navies of the Four Kingdoms of the Thousand Islands had all arrived. Before you know it, there are more than 200 warships and transports gathered around the island, and more than 40,000 soldiers.

However, again, such reinforcements are often late after the battle has already been fought, and the sad thing is that even if they do arrive, these armies composed of ordinary people are destined to be cannon fodder who can't even make a splash in such a battle against the demon god. As a result, the dragon knights, who can only be carefully selected, bear the apocalyptic catastrophe that will inevitably occur almost every thousand years, as well as the possible annihilation blow every time.

…… Yes, at least until an opportunity arises.

"This time, the work of reorganizing the Knights is about to begin. It is no less burdensome and tiring than a war. What's more, after this crisis, it's time for the Order to enter a new era. Before saying goodbye, Hector, the leader of the Dragon Knights, said to Lu Xi: "The new knights need a new leader. Stronger than me, wiser than me, more gifted than me, younger than me, and more importantly, better than I know what kind of leader the world will be like in the future! Young man, you know what I mean, right? ”

Lu Xi was silent. He is not a fool, of course, he can't even understand something that such a fool can understand, but the current situation is so myriad, how can he casually promise the future.

"It takes time to think about something so important, and I can understand that." He patted Lu Xi on the shoulder, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "However, don't delay it too long, even if it's me, I don't know how long I can last." ”

Lu Xi looked at the back of the dragon knight leader, still tall, still proud, still majestic, except for the gray hair, he couldn't see the slightest hint of grandeur and decadence. However, Lu Xi can feel the persistence and pride of a dying old hero.

…… The saddest thing in the world is to see an aging hero. Because they are fearless and can conquer everything, but they cannot conquer time. However, Lu Xi now knows that something more tragic than this is that he is a hero in his prime, who puts all his time on the altar in order to bloom only once, and then has to endure the pain and helplessness of rapid aging.

Time was indeed running out for Captain Hector.

What made Lu Xi a little sad was that when the dragon knights left with the remains of all their comrades, Krell fell into a coma? Belmont still hasn't woken up yet. He was the only one left alive in his squad, including the knights and dragons. His lover and comrades-in-arms fell on the way to charge one by one, and more importantly, the order to charge was given by himself. Even the strongest and strongest warriors will inevitably fall into deep self-loathing, right?

Krell? Belmont can be regarded as the entire Dragon Knights, the most advanced people of the times. But now, Lu Xi really doesn't know if such a vision hurts him...... In other words, his support for him and his help to make his team the first to change new equipment are also accomplices.

One may be able to rationally say to oneself that everything that has happened before is a necessary sacrifice. The changes of the times and the progress of civilization always need to be watered by the blood of martyrs...... However, when you really see someone you know sacrificed in front of you, can you really stand and speak without backache, and say such things in a high-sounding manner?

"I'm sorry for him......" Lu Xi could only say this. He knew that it was ridiculously hypocritical to say this, but if he didn't, he really didn't know how to explain his heart.

"It's his choice! My friend. Even if he knew that there would be such a result, he would still have no hesitation, right? I personally recruited my comrades-in-arms into the regiment, I myself know best. The old Knight Captain Mansred said, "Without your help, even if we fight until we are all wiped out, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to see the final victory!" Whether it is your strength or your wisdom, it has become the most important opportunity for this victory! You should be proud of it! ”

"Proud? In front of so many victims? ”

"If you can't be proud, then you're truly sorry for their sacrifice." He sank his face and said to Lu Xi word by word. The old knight with a broken arm, the tired old knight, but still towering like a green mountain.

On the first day after the Dragon Knights evacuated, they felt that they had enough of their presence, and they also felt that there was no point in staying in the Federation Mobile Fleet Commander Dagger? Admiral Eurentian, announcing the return of the entire fleet - in fact, and the financial situation of the Federation at this moment, it is indeed a bit of a stretch of money if it stays overseas for a long time. On the other hand, Lu Xi, who has completely occupied the White Ark, and his friends have indeed put great pressure on each other.

"If I can go back to China earlier, I can get rid of that evil star one day earlier, and I should be completely liberated, right? As for what he's going to do, whether he's going to smash the door himself to vent his anger, or convince that Rassell guy to carry out a purge together, that's completely none of my business. "Your Excellency may have thought so, so he ordered the whole fleet to return early.

"After you go back to China, you can't stop for a long time. A gendarmerie director, Vice Admiral, was killed on the spot, and all the gendarmes of the entire fleet were arrested...... I can imagine that uproar. The Gate Valve faction will hate you! Is it really okay for you to cope with it alone? Tempest confirmed again: "I can actually let Nanoka accompany you." For Neosfia's side, it is enough to have me and Fett. ”

In other words, you don't trust the abilities of that natural black-red dumb at all, except for fights, of course......

"Left and right are just a series of routines to send faces to the door, and even a delicate description will be scolded by the observers for rebellion. I don't want to add another natural black-red fool to steal the limelight from me. Lu Xi shrugged: "Besides, since it's a pair of lilies, it must hurt people's character if they are dismantled, right?" ”

“…… You! Forget it, I don't care. Hurricane shook his head helplessly. She felt that at this time, if she said a few more words to her mother-in-law like an old mother, it might have the opposite effect, so she would stop at the moment.

Of course, there may be something else that prompted the Mobile Fleet to leave early. Soon after the Dragon Knights left, a winged scout arrived to report that the main force of the Oakland Navy's Falling Star Sea Fleet was about to arrive. It was a huge naval force with more than 200 warships and more than 30,000 men, and the total naval strength of the four kingdoms of the Thousand Islands and the countries of the Illist Peninsula combined. In the Tatsu Sea, the sea power of the world hegemon Oakland is under Neosphia and the High Elves, and can only be called to maintain its existence and necessary influence, but in the Falling Star Sea, he is truly vertical and horizontal, looking at the world, invincible. It is precisely because of this that they can completely control the sea route between the Sea of Falling Stars, the Ocean of the Sunset, and the Far Western Continent.

Previously, the command of the Falling Star Sea Fleet was in the hands of the Duke of Lancaster, Lord of Kaiyan, but it is said that some time ago, the military command department of the Auckland Empire underwent a large-scale reorganization. The command, military power, logistical power, and personnel power were all taken over by the central imperial court, and a few high-speed ocean-going warships were added and equipped with some new weapons with a very good sense of déjà vu, and the combat effectiveness is said to have increased a little.

The Federation's mobile fleet left the day before the Oakland Navy arrived, perhaps because they didn't want to meet each other? In any case, the Oakland Empire is still an unshakable world hegemon, and "theoretically" it is also an ally of the Federation, and the diplomatic provisions also clearly state what a "community of destiny" is. This kind of thing of kicking the nose and stealing the limelight from people is just done, but if someone blocks it, the scene will be very embarrassing.

Hurricane and the rest of the friends left in the early morning on the Qiyao Aurora. Lu Xi was left with only the three-and-four-knife doll Jianhao and the student council president, as well as two big-eyed children, little Kalman and Freda, oh, maybe counting Kalman's four armed maids, and Seyle's servant Misha, well, maybe barely add those forty or so dwarven technicians plus a steel dragon with five tuberculosis and seven wounds. In a word, the surrounding combat power seems to have dropped to the point of the most "empty".

This may make people who are interested think that this is an opportunity to take advantage of. Lu Xi was actually looking forward to this very much, but the sad thing was that at least the people on this ship, as well as the entire fleet, were really afraid of themselves, and they didn't leave any chance to slap themselves in the face. Even if Admiral Eurentian and Squint were sent on the ship, Lu Xi said that he was indeed not very happy, and the consequences were serious...... Then, on his way back with the fleet, he felt the taste of illness for the first time, twenty years after the crossing. In other words, it was the first time since the mother left him.

In the first three days after that, Lu Xi began to have a high fever. The feeling of weakness, weakness, paralysis, and a sleepy and gloomy mind returned to his senses today, more than twenty years later.

This is very abnormal. He knows very well that he has a systematic golden thigh possession, and his body functions are actually constant in a very healthy state, poisoning and serious injuries are possible, but only disease is the most unlikely. At the beginning, the function of the system has not been officially opened, and their physical fitness is still only the category of ordinary human babies and bear children, and they are taken care of by a hairy elf bear child, but there is no problem at all from "small" to large, doesn't this explain a lot of problems? But now, he is still sick.

Is it because his subconscious tells me that I really should have a serious illness?

Lu Xi didn't know if this was the case, at this time, his troubled brain made it difficult for him to continue to think deeply about this kind of supra-philosophical question.

He also knew that he only needed to go up to the next level to be cured of this small illness - after this battle, the reserves in his experience pool had once again reached seven figures, and he lacked nothing - however, for some reason, Lu Xi at this moment was very happy with the feeling of having to be sick and bedridden.

Of course, he was relieved, but he was anxious for Cehireu and Lim. You must know that almost all those with extraordinary strength are immune to cold and heat, or it is absolutely impossible to get sick, and once they get sick, they must be seriously ill.

Miss the president of the student union was busy boiling medicine for Lu Xi, making nutritious meals suitable for the patient's digestion, and at the same time firmly grasping the management of this white battleship in her hands, and still managing thousands of sailors with ghosts and ghosts to be obedient. Fortunately, with Lim here, there are also four well-trained female officials born in the Auckland court, even if they are two underage children, they are by no means the kind of bear children who need to be worried about by adults, and they are even much more sensible than many so-called adults. Not only does it not need to be taken care of, but it also helps a lot in turn.

The sword man of the three-in-four sword flow doll is not very good at taking care of people, but he is guarding the door of his room twenty-four hours a day, and everyone except Sehiru, even the medicine and meals sent by the maids of the little Kalman, must be tasted often before they are released.

Sesilyu was always worried that if Lu Xi fell like this, it would make those who were about to move have thoughts that they shouldn't have again. After she thought about it carefully, the people who guarded Lu Xi's door twenty-four hours a day, except for Limu, who would lean against the door with her sword and cloak in her arms even at night, and sat and slept - there were also her giant wolf puppet, Namelia, or Asha, and a team of ten dwarven warriors who rotated in teams. They are naturally the top mechanics, but we must also know that the top mechanics and blacksmiths of the dwarves are often the top warriors, and the so-called scientists and engineers know martial arts, and these people are actually the most standard examples.

To the relief and relief of the arrival of the student council president, there was no more unpleasant incident until the fleet arrived at Elichar.

During this time, it was heard that Brigadier General Berencaster was ill, so the generals of all levels of the fleet came to visit with a dignified but impeccable smile, and a worried and heavy expression on their faces. They warmly visited Lu Xi, sincerely expressed their blessings, and then sent all kinds of rich gifts without saying anything, but Lu Xi, who was lying on the bed, also received them seriously, and said a few words of greetings.

Admiral Eurentian and Squinting were, of course, also here, and the gifts they gave were their last. Although Lu Xi really didn't understand why they were in the army, they actually carried such exquisite ancient paintings and drinking utensils. Miss Andreel also came, and she didn't bring a gift, but she prepared a dinner for Cesileu, in fact, this is the most valuable gift, right? Of course, Sesileu really didn't understand what the complicated expression of the senior sister meant when she was cooking dinner, and the clueless words.

“…… That, tell your family, it's almost enough. As the game continues, the noble-born officers of the fleet can't sleep at night, but they are really going to have a nervous breakdown. When the time comes, won't all the chores be pushed to people like me who have an excessive sense of responsibility! ”

Anyway, that's probably what it means, right? Sounds like a sad story.

However, all of the above has nothing to do with Lu Xi, except for spending two or three hours a day dealing with all kinds of visitors, chatting with everyone, and eating, the rest of the time he spends the rest of his time lying in bed. He remembered that the last time he was sick was some time ago.

At that time, he was a few years younger than his current self, and he had just entered a prestigious university that was second to none, and he felt that he simply had the whole world. He played tennis and swimming with the girls, as well as discussing the rotten culture and the little fresh meat of the stick, playing basketball with the boys, and surfing the Internet all night long, plus the teachers who discussed the fifth-generation aircraft carrier and the virtue and art of both the two colors. Yes, both boys and girls are happy to play with themselves. Although at the beginning, everyone always blushed inexplicably, but after getting used to it, they got along much more easily.

So, playing crazy, I had a fever like this inexplicably...... Well, it seems that after going swimming with a group of young ladies in the morning, playing basketball with a group of buddies in the afternoon, and having an all-night in the evening, plus night beer and skewers, so it hit the street.

He remembers very well that he could only go home and raise himself in a sad mood for a while - fortunately, the university and his home were in the same city. Whether it's buddy or young lady, they all came to the door with a red face, brought a lot of gifts to themselves, and were ready to cook for themselves in a lively manner, and then they quarreled directly in the kitchen, but they were all suppressed by the mother at one time, and obediently beat her.

So, that birthday party was vaguely spent in bed when he was sick and surrounded by nearly 20 people...... However, how are the twenty buddies and young sisters doing now? How's it going? At this time, Lu Xi suddenly realized that it took him a long time to gradually recall them, not only their appearances, but also their names.

The only thing I remember is the smell of the cake baked by my mother, and the brown sugar water with strange herbs in it...... Yes, it's similar to the strange cat food that the teacher gave me at the beginning, and it's similar to the smell of the potion that is now delivered to my bedside.

"Well, Sesilu, thank you......"

"Huh? Are you awake? Wait, Lu Xi, you're crying......"

"Yes, so, thank you......"

"Hmm......"
