After the funeral, except for the elders who temporarily stayed to help Lu Xi upgrade the World Tree Scepter, all the guests were also ready to say goodbye one by one. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But before that, the island's most important guest, the lord of the Shining Cave, Jin Li? Before taking his leave, Muradin III, who was also a good friend of Mr. Orucello, once again informed Lu Xi that the Oktoberfest held once every 20 years of the dwarves was about to be held at the end of the year, and since he had promised to participate, he must not break his promise.

Lu Xi felt a little surprised. He knew that dwarves were a very rough bunch, but he didn't expect to be heartless to this extent.

"Thank you for having me, Your Highness...... However, my current mood and state, to participate in this kind of carnival activities, is it too heartless. Lu Xi knew that this event should be related to a certain mission, and it was obviously a rather interesting carnival, if it was his previous self, he would definitely come to participate in it. But now he is not in the mood to have fun at all, and if it weren't for the other party's reminder, he would have forgotten that there was even a task that existed.

However, after all, this is only a C-level mission that does not even have a failure penalty, although it is accompanied by another large mission, but as long as you think about it, such a mission cycle must be very long, and it is easy to disrupt your future arrangements.

In fact, after the teacher and dad left one after another, Lu Xi may not even feel that his mentality is no longer like an RPG player who pursues task rewards, overthrows bosses, and immerses himself in new equipment and upgrade achievements, but a normal person with a fairly clear goal. If there is no particularly troublesome punishment for the task given by the system, he will subconsciously evaluate the opportunity cost. Even if it was the A-class mission "Blessing of the Mountains", if it really affected his follow-up plans, he would not hesitate to give up.

The immediate priority is to recruit at least 3,000 soldiers before the end of the year's general election. After taking care of all the affairs in the territory, he had to rush to the holy mountain of Hyjal non-stop, but attended his father's funeral. This is equivalent to another father-like figure of his own, and if he doesn't participate in his final farewell, it will definitely become a lifelong regret, right? However, in this way, the time is quite tight.

Fortunately, with the full support of Master Russell, coupled with the rare combination of the noble gate valve system, the Fourth Legion was restored with unprecedented efficiency from the Federation, and the shelf of the headquarters was erected within a week. Although his commander has not officially arrived for the time being due to personal reasons, more than half of the remaining high-ranking and middle-level officers have taken up their posts, and they have already begun their preliminary work.

The Fourth Legion Sky Rose, as the former Praetorian Guard Legion, should have a full strength of more than 30,000 people after the restoration of the honorary title, military flag and establishment. In addition to the commanders of the various departments of the headquarters, the middle and high-ranking officers among them need 20 1,000 infantry commanders, five wing cavalry wing commanders, five wingman scout centurions, and 2,000 puppet maintenance battalion commanders. In addition, a regiment of more than 100 battle mages is added, as well as their squires and orderlies.

So far, the appointing instrument has gone down to the Isle of Colorful Roses. In addition to Lu Xi himself as the commander, Sai Xiliu? Moore would serve as Chief of Legion's Affairs, the equivalent of Chief Secretary to the Commander and Chief of Staff to the Command; Carol, one of Lu Xi's best friends? Roshodit will serve as an operational staff officer and captain of the third team of the Battlemage Regiment; Brain-dead powder No. 1 Liszt? Danmas, Brain Dead Powder No. 2 Elliott? Grosso and Brain Dead Pink No. 3 Els? Paradeva will also enter the corps headquarters as a very important intelligence staff officer, logistics staff officer and herald.

On the other hand, Lu Xi's application for the transfer of his comrades-in-arms who had a fairly pleasant cooperation and side-by-side experience in the past was also approved - for example, Lieutenant Colonel Grimmar (promoted after the battle between Black Man City and Henas) had originally transferred to the country, faded out of the front-line combat troops, and served as the sheriff of a certain county, which may also be his last job before retirement, but now he was directly promoted to colonel, and entered the corps headquarters as the chief army judge, and concurrently served as the commander of the 1,000th people. Although Captain Ai Ming was not promoted to the first rank again, Lu Xi asked him to serve as an instructor of the Legion Marine Corps, and the appointment of the captain of the guard team directly under the headquarters had also been approved.

In addition, Lu Xi's applications for official positions for Grant and Bull, as well as several servants transferred from the wind, were all approved.

The federal government doesn't seem to care at all about the fact that the Sky Rose Legion has been rampant since then, and has directly become a private army subordinate to Lu Xi. In fact, although the Federation was the first country in the world to complete the reform of centralizing the army, it was quite common for the various legions to divide their territory among each other. Theoretically, a legion should nominally be a national army, but the fact that the key departments at all levels, from the commander down, are controlled by the children of one of the gatekeepers and their associates is not news in the Federation at all.

Of course, it is not impossible to completely allow such warlordization, at least not to do the work of face. As a result, the legions that have begun to be sourly called by some members of the federal parliament and senators are "Berencastel Regiment" and "Little Berencaster's rabble", and their deputy commanders and chiefs of staff, as well as many important positions, are also delegated by the central government.

For example, the deputy commander who has arrived is Lu Xi's "acquaintance", who once had a relationship, Seaweed Daddy, Home Secretary Turner? Wilambat's younger brother, Aemon? Lieutenant General Wilambart...... In other words, isn't that amiable-looking purple-haired uncle a civilian in the Central Personnel Department? Isn't it a bit too much of a sudden change in style from a professional bureaucrat to a general? Although all mages in the Federation are theoretically reservist.

As for the chief of staff, it was a name that Lu Xi didn't recognize, called Rufit? Major General of Kellingles, who once served as the commander of the federal garrison in Port Grolen, is said to have led a small garrison to wipe out a large number of Argonian bandits and bandits who had an absolute superiority in forces. To tell the truth, in Lu Xi's opinion, leading a professional army to exterminate a bunch of rabble, even if the opponent's strength is really far above his own, it is far from being a combat achievement, at most it is an average...... However, he can indeed be regarded as a rare young "general" in the gate valve faction.

Yes, this Rufit? Maj. Gen. Kelinghals, 36 years old, is the current U.S. Senator Francis? Keringles' nephew, who is also now in "retreat", is said to be about to break through the legendary realm of the old Albert? The eldest grandson of Kellingers. By the way, this old Mr. Keringles is also a peer of Mr. Orucello, a classmate of the Central Academy of Magic, who is already 95 years old this year, and has always had the official position of reserve marshal.

In short, this may be regarded as the sand sent by the gate valve to Lu Xi, right? But he only expressed complete disdain, saying that this kind of petty family play would even make him shoot himself in the foot. He is too lazy to care now, but he is also confident that no matter what kind of moth the other party does, when he returns, the legion will still be firmly in his hands. As for the sand that has been mixed in, it is not impossible that when they were accidentally fooled into betraying their own class, or became double agents.

Whether it is coming to the light or the dark, whether it is playing with the eyes of the heart or comparing fists, Lu Xi will not be afraid of anyone now.

The demon god labor and management have been pushed, and a group of gate valve dudes who are still afraid of crickets?

Moreover, judging from the news sent by Carol and Liszt now, after the arrival of the deputy commander and chief of staff, not only did they not make a moth, but they were cooperating with Lu Xi's sworn friends to start recruiting soldiers and initial training and other aspects of the initial work of the legion, and they were quite dedicated and capable.

"That's enough!" Lu Xi said to himself. As a superior, I am worried that the subordinates who have ambitions or dissenting intentions are stupid comparisons full of small peasant consciousness, and if they are incompetent, it will really be a headache.

Lu Xi's plan was to take Panarsis or Miss Correcel to the Holy Mountain of Hyjal to attend the funeral of Daddy Tifaño, and then hurry back to take up the position of Legion Commander - the reason why he did not take the Nicaron was because it really couldn't fly as fast as the steel body of the Holy Dragon Lori and the Fat Snow Leopard, and besides, there was really no reliable place for floating ships to dock near Hyjal. Then, the training of the troops, and then, after three months, until the beginning of the spring of next year...... It's also time to go to Artoria's aid and get in trouble with some runaway guy.

"But aren't you going to Hyjal for the funeral of the Grand Druid?" The dwarven lord said to Lu Xi.

“…… Yes, it's basically only two or three days before you leave. Lu Xi said. If the World Tree Scepter is strengthened well, you will be able to leave tomorrow.

"Well, you should come all the more. The Fort is so close to Hyjal that it is less than a day's walk at your feet. The Dwarven Lord laughed. Then, before Lu Xi raised an objection, he spoke first: "Although, this kind of thing is a bit too condescending for me to say...... But, boy, do you know how worrying you are now? Anyone who cares about you must be restless when they see you like this, right? My impression of Lu Xi? Lin Ge? Berencaster, but he is arrogant when he should be arrogant, arrogant when he should be arrogant, but when he wants to laugh, he laughs more than anyone else. But since Orucello and Tifario are gone, do you remember how long it has been since you laughed? ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Lu Xi blinked his eyes suspiciously, and then quickly overflowed with an impeccable business smile on his face, no matter how hard-hearted a person is, he will definitely be dazzled by the smile.

"Who's to say it's not a laugh?"

"For some, perhaps, but for someone like me who knows you well, it's really not a smile." The old dwarf said slowly: "You, no matter how you pretend to be confused or how cool you are, you are a dead child who wants to cry with a quilt in my eyes!" ”

Lu Xi's expression loosened. He knew that his current "smile" must be ugly.

"Cheer up. Only you can understand and grasp where Orucello's legacy will take the world, but Rotary needs a real leader, and neither can I do it, nor can your girlfriend. Even if you want to absorb fresh blood in the future, it has to be a decision made by a junior brother Lu Xi I know. The old dwarf lord took a big sip of wine: "To put it mildly, those two old fellows, even if they leave, don't want to see you like this." ”

"What do you think...... What should I do? Lu Xi sighed and asked.

"Eat when it's time to eat, drink when it's time to drink, keep laughing, keep flying. If you're really willing to sit with a bunch of dwarves at Oktoberfest, then I'm going to believe you're going to be the same person you used to be. I, too, wept for three days when my father died, and then drank ten barrels of ale at his grave. When I woke up, I felt more relaxed than ever! I feel like I've entered a new chapter in my life. ”

"Ten barrels? You're fooling the hell. ”

"Shout! If you don't believe me, try it yourself! He laughed, "Other...... The amount of those things you ordered is so large that you are not ready to receive them yourself? ”

“…… You know, I'm ready to restore the Fourth Army and I'm about to take up my post. ”

"It's because you're doing that I understand what you're trying to do with the things you've ordered that could destroy an empire. Hehe, such a large number of weapons, are you really ready to accept them in the territory of the Federation? First of all, it will pass through your borders, then the equipment and logistics department of the military department, and finally it will be distributed to your legions. The old dwarf put down his glass, and reached for his pipe, and then unceremoniously reached for Lu Xi's tobacco barrel, and with a rough motion, he stuffed these priceless treasures of a year's production into his pipe.

It's really a cow chewing peony! No wonder Master Palong wants me to be careful with you. Lu Xi watched the other party smoke low-quality tobacco and inhale the aroma of his own golden velvet and moon long leaves, and snorted painfully.

"There will always be a way to receive it." Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders: "For example, after the three-month recruit training period, I am going to take this new legion to train abroad, and by the way, support the military operations of the allied forces on the Nord and High Elf sides against the Great Wasteland." But before that, you can go to the Great Lakes region to receive supplies or something......"

The dwarven lord glanced at Lu Xi deeply: "So, how about bringing the recruits to Hyjal and Hearthcastle for field training?" The territory of the Federation is too small, the terrain is too simple, and it is not convenient to rely on floating ships to transport supplies. However, if you were to camp near the furnace fort for training, then all would not be a problem. Hehe, we dwarves are not humans, and we don't think that the entry of the allied army's army into our own territory has any sovereignty issues......"

"Huh...... As long as soldiers are not allowed to enter the city in groups, it is impossible to disturb the people. Anyway, the dwarven cities are all within the rock walls and mountains, right? Your understanding of the land is indeed different from that of human beings. Lu Xi added with a smile.

Golden Bolt? Muradins III smiled noncommittally, and while continuing to swallow the clouds, he drank the best wine from Lu Xi's collection in an almost arrogant way: "Anyway, think about it. Well, if you're still hesitating, might you ask Yuhi? Master Nacardo, although most of these prophetic magicians and astrologers are charlatans, even the most elite masters often make mistakes that leave people speechless...... Still, when major choices arise, their opinions are still informative. Of course, if you leave the country with such a large force, you may need some discussion at the national level, right? ”

“…… No, if it's the current state, they might want me to stay out for another year and a half. Lu Xi pondered for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "However, it's not bad to revise the plan like this." But then I could stay in the Federation for two more weeks. Well, I'll leave tomorrow, but I'll have to go back to Elichar first. ”

The dwarven lord was slightly stunned.

"You always have to watch them put the sacrifices on the table, and after a good meal, the dragon will leave satisfied, right?" Lu Xi still maintained that impeccable business smile, but there seemed to be something else in it. Golden Bolt? Muradine III seemed to grasp the subtlety of this, and took a long sip of wine, muttering to himself, but no one seemed to understand.
