More than 1,000 big men ran on the shore of the steam lake, side by side, their feet were like thunder, their breath was like the wind, and their blood was boiling, which really tasted a little young! If it's sunset, and it's a beach by the sea, that's of course the best.

However, just running and marching, it seems that there is a subtle difference from our hometown. Lu Xi, who was running at the front of the team, had a flash of thought, and suddenly realized what was missing.

"Okay, start singing along with me!" Lu Xi said loudly.

"The Iron Rose will punish the entire sky!"

“…… Your Excellency, this ......"

"I sang it three times, starting with the officer, then the soldier, come with me! Don't tell me I can't learn such a simple melody! Even if you can't learn it, the lyrics will be yelled at me! ”

"From Elichar to Namoa! From the Azure Palace to the Arcane Palace! ”

"The sky will sing to the fullest: steel, fire and blood, and the unwielding Iron Rose!" Lu Xi's voice was not loud, but his mind turned, and the singing spread directly to the entire team with amplification magic. Every soldier could hear his voice clearly, as if he were singing aloud in his immediate ear.

“…… From, from the ......" intermittent singing began to sound slowly with the simple melody in Lu Xi's mouth. In the end, it gradually merged from the creek into rivers and lakes, from a chaotic mixture, to a hundred people, a thousand people sang in unison.

"From Elichar to Namoa! From the shores of the West Sea to the mountains! ”

"The sky will sing to the fullest: steel, fire and blood, and the unwielding Iron Rose!"

"Iron Rose will punish all evil!"

"From Steam Lagoon to Orgrimmar! From the shores of the West Sea to the bottom of the mountains! ”

"The world will sing completely: the wearer of the rose, invincible, the evil is easy to dispel, and I am invincible!"

That's good, that's what you want! I won't be able to train you into a fanatical army for a while, but it's okay to brainwash you with a vicious nature. As long as the army is driven into fanaticism, there is a basis for the militarization of the army. Of course, there are more important ...... here

"Whose bread do you eat? Whose salary do you receive? Lu Xi said loudly.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and then someone shouted: "Eat General Berencaster's food!" Get General Berencaster's salary! His call was quickly accepted by the frenzied soldiers, who quickly converged into a uniform response.

It's superb! I'm satisfied!

Valerius looked at Lu Xi, who was full of high spirits, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, you have actually committed a lot of taboos with such a call just now. Within the legion, although the apparent grievances have been suppressed, and everyone seems to be united and united, the real enemy is likely to be hidden. Your singing today may be on the desk of one of the great federal figures in Elichar tomorrow. ”

"I know!" Lu Xi said in a natural tone.

"Well, you're still so ......"

"Mr. Valerius, as you yourself say, you really don't know much about politics! But in fact, by the time I rebuilt the Sky Rose Army, many people had already realized what I wanted to do. At that point, I will never be able to be nice to someone. Lu Xi smiled: "However, since they can allow me to rebuild this legion, it means that they don't have the consciousness to start a war!" In this way, what can a song that boosts morale when everyone trains, and a joking slogan? Besides, the legion is about to be pulled out, so should I be removed from the post of commander at this time? Why, at this time, is there still a general in the Federation who is willing to lead troops deep into Orgrimmar to resist the orcs? ”

The old knight nodded helplessly, admitting that Lu Xi seemed to be right. However, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "So, we are really going to prepare to enter Orgrimmar and prepare to completely wipe out the orcs?" ”

"Yu Gong, we can't let Virginia steal all the limelight, the Federation must have its own post-war interests; Privately, I can do Artoria a little favor. And to put it mildly, the orcs must not be given any chance to integrate their internal forces! Lu Xi said in a low voice: "How is it, have the materials ordered from NORINCO arrived?" ”

"Miss Sehireu has already checked one, and it is said that it is sixty percent! Well, but the first shooting training can begin. Valerius hesitated for a moment, then added, "...... But is platooning, shooting, and assassination training really enough for Orgrimmar's battlefield? Lord, to be honest, there are few races in this world that are better at fighting and love to fight than orcs. ”

"You've been told to me by many people in the past few years. Orcs are good at fighting, but not good at war, and this is the qualitative gap. Lu Xi said. He turned his head to look at the old knight, paused, and his voice flickered inexplicably: "I've been gone for a while, that, is there anything wrong?" ”

The old knight understood again, showed a narrow smile, and comforted: "Don't worry, lord, because the time for you to leave this time is much shorter than we imagined, at least at this time, it has not been exposed." Of course, this must also be thanked to Lord Varus of Auckland. ”

What's the matter with the old eunuch who smiled kindly, like a beardless Santa Claus, but also had a dark belly that the sun couldn't shine in?

"We say to the young ladies, uh, and General Wilambat, that you have been invited by the Privy Counsellor and Minister of the Interior of Auckland, the Earl of Varus, to accompany him into the mountains to hunt. Well, by the way, let's talk about the friendship between the Empire and the Federation, and what the future holds! Well, that's also the approval of Lord Varus himself! ”

"......" assists well! That old eunuch!

"Of course, since you didn't show up for five days, everyone was a little hesitant! But now that you've appeared, everything is fine. ”

Lu Xi originally thought that it might take him more than a month to find the Spirit of the Mountains. However, it took three days to go, and it only took a little more than a day to search, fight, and solve everything in the divine domain, and in the end, when I returned, I relied on the power of the archangel to return through the power of the temple center, and the portal opened under the high mountain of Hegarus did not take more than a second.

Although this adventure encountered all kinds of major events, didn't it take less than five days?

"Well, that's great, this time it's kind of getting through it, right? Well, come to think of it, Sesilio and Nicole asked me why I had left the Legion and everyone skipping work, and I said I was going to prepare a gift for my newborn child...... After that, I felt creepy even if I didn't want to! Thinking of this, Lu Xi felt that he really needed to thank the old eunuch, at least he had to invite a big drink or something.

Yes, a full-roasted wild reindeer grilled by me, a milk soup made with herring fish from the steam lake, and a few bottles of fresh brew from the cellar of the Temple of Flames and Earth, and it all came to life. I didn't even sign in with Sai Xiliu and they came to chat and play with you first, have you ever seen a responsible protagonist like me?

"No, no, no, Your Highness, you are like this, you are really tormenting the villain!" The person who spoke was the Privy Council and Secretary of State of the Auckland Empire, who was in charge of the entire Imperial Internal Security and Garrison Force, and was equivalent to a superman who was a police chief and spy chief, and it was said that his prestige in the Empire had reached the point of stopping children from crying at night. However, in the face of the delicious food cooked by Lu Xi himself, he had a bitter face, and while fully expressing his gratitude, he was also completely with an expression of "such a grace from the heavens and the earth, how can a villain bear it". If it weren't for the fact that there were several heavily armed Auckland knights standing next to this picnic spot, that is, the old eunuch's own bodyguards, he might have really thrown himself to the ground by this time, and he couldn't get up from lying on the ground completely.

"First of all, we are not in the Yongchen Palace, and secondly, I, the Grand Duke of Sevac, have neither an annuity nor an income from the estate, and I don't even have a letter of appointment, so it was just a formality for Karin to be a child. Therefore, we don't need to fool ourselves into abduction. Lu Xi smiled: "This difference in identity, just forget about it." I just sincerely hope to express my gratitude to you! Belch...... Thanks to your efforts, I have finally avoided the biggest crisis in my life! There's nothing wrong with that! You're my savior! ”

"Too, it's too exaggerated, Your Highness, if you keep talking, old Varus really wants to find a quiet place to wipe his neck!" The old eunuch seemed to be a little embarrassed, he glanced at the guards who were making a cameo appearance in the sculpture not far away, squeezed his eyes, and added in a low voice: "However, Your Highness, identity is identity, your status is legitimate, and my courtesy to you is also courteous." Serving the royal family of the Holy Springs was originally my only duty, how can I be grateful? If your words spread to China today, old Varus really can't be a man! ”

"That's okay!" Lu Xi smiled narrowly, and while swinging a knife with a sharp hand, he slashed the whole deer on the grill, cut off the fattest meat chops, trayed them, sprinkled them with spices, and put them in front of the old eunuch: "If you really lost your job in Auckland, then come to me." No matter how much Karin gives you, it will be at least twice as much as I am. ”

As soon as these words came out, the old eunuch's expression became more and more helpless, as if he was a little restless and swallowed a piece of barbecue sent by Lu Xi, but then frankly showed an expression of being amazed by the deliciousness, and enjoyed the taste impact from the delicious taste in his mouth, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lu Xi and groaned for two seconds, and then, his expression slowly sank again, and he directly showed obvious sadness.

In just a few seconds, the old eunuch's face switched several expressions, and each expression conveyed to Lu Xi his state of mind at this moment. Just by this seamless switch of changing expressions, he is qualified to laugh at 99% of the professional actors in the world, and the switching between different emotions and different moods seems very natural and without any deliberate feeling. As a result, its appeal and expressiveness can also be regarded as perfect.

"Alas...... My poor little highness, if he can eat the delicacies of his own father at all times, he will surely grow up in happiness, right? He sighed faintly, as if he was really in deep mourning, which made Lu Xi can't help but get goosebumps.

"I wasn't destined to be a good father, well, at least not in the normal sense of the word. But...... Are you accusing me, Lord Varus? Lu Xi asked nonchalantly.

"No, the villain would never dare to be so rude." He said: "It's just simply grieving for His Royal Highness who is still in infancy, and it doesn't contain any other impurities. ”

He was just cashing in and accusing me, but it didn't touch me at all. Yes, not at all! While thinking so, Lu Xi took out a beautifully packaged small box and a letter from his arms.

"Give this to Karin...... Well, she should know what time to give this to her son. ”

Inside the box, of course, is the Spirit of the Mountains. However, this treasure, which can be used as an inlay or amulet, can of course be inlaid on any piece of equipment, such as armor, blades, and jewelry. So, how to use it, or wait for the child to be a little older, and let him choose.

"Is this what you've learned in the Hegaros Mountains?" Varus solemnly took the box, put away the joke before, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, even if I want the life of old Varus, I will definitely send this thing to Your Majesty!" ”

That's an exaggeration...... You'll be walking south for two days and you'll be in Auckland, with heavy escorts all the way. If it is necessary for a dignified internal minister like you to work hard in person, it means that Karin's empire eats jujube pills, no, it is actually ethane. In addition, don't think that you have always been such a harmless and cute person, I didn't know that you were a golden 10th order Sothness thaumaturgist, a profession that is also very rare in the continent of Sothness, not so much a spellcaster, but a group of battlefield fraudsters who do not spare their hands. In the hands of such an extraordinary powerhouse, I am naturally completely relieved.

"In addition, the North Industry Chamber of Commerce has prepared candidates for expatriate experts. This time you can return to the empire with you. Lu Xi said again: "If everything goes well, the Qiyao Mine, the Guiding Factory, the Arsenal and even the Technical College under the control of the Empire can be established soon." ”

"This is the second best news old Varus has heard today!" The old eunuch grinned, still smiling like a big melon: "However, according to your consciousness, the 100,000 rifles and 200 cannons ordered by the Imperial Military from the Northern Chamber of Commerce are going to be postponed?" ”

"You can take a third first, and the other third, which can be delivered at the end of the year. As for the last third, well, I'm sorry, it's going to be postponed. Lu Xi shrugged helplessly: "As the largest customer since the opening of the Chamber of Commerce, we have invited you to visit the factory, there is only so much production capacity, and you have seen it." However, 30,000 rifles with bayonets and 30 cannons were enough for Karin to start arming the new army initially, right? For this, we can also give an additional 50 shotguns as compensation. Looking at my face, don't be serious with the Chamber of Commerce, right? ”

Actually, this time you can at least take half of the goods in the contract, but those are all intercepted by me and sent to the Fourth Legion, I won't talk nonsense.

“…… Oh, is that so? The old eunuch looked Lu Xi up and down, and before he could say anything, he heard a loud thunderous noise on the side of the hill not far away.

…… Well, over there, it seems to be the newly formed artillery unit of the Fourth Legion, which is being tested by Grant and a few dwarven engineers. They were armed with a total of 50 guide guns of various sizes and models, most of which were intercepted from the Oakland Empire's order.

It's a bit embarrassing.

However, before Lu Xi was about to say anything, the old eunuch smiled very understandingly, still smiling innocently and thoughtlessly: "Your Highness's face is naturally very important. It doesn't matter, if Your Majesty and the Privy Council have any grievances, it's up to me, old Varus. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "Besides, Your Highness, the time for your army to start should be at this time, right?" ”

Lu Xi nodded and looked at the other party inexplicably. This is not good news to keep secret. In less than a month, the mountain passes of Mount Hegalus will be thawed, enough for tens of thousands of troops to pass. As long as you have a little military common sense, you can guess that this is the best time to pull out.

"Your army, Your Highness, are all good young men." He said again without a head.

"It's just a group of rookies, and there's still a lot to hone in." Lu Xi looked at the other party's still honest smile, and subtly felt that something seemed wrong.

"However, with all due respect, Your Highness Lu Xi, you have excellent infantry, flying cavalry and winged scouts, but is there still a little lack of impact and mobility on the frontal battlefield?"

Lu Xi probably understood what the other party meant, and said helplessly: "No way, in essence, the Federation is actually an archipelago country, and most of the people are rushing to the sea, so you can't expect this kind of country to be able to afford a full-fledged cavalry force, right?" ”

Varus nodded and continued: "According to His Majesty, although Auckland fell into civil strife last year, it has now stabilized. Nature should also do its part for the existing world order. Then, in three days, a 5,000-strong elite cavalry force of the Empire will arrive at the Steam Lake and you will be rounded. ”

“…… Clicker. ”

"They will only obey your orders, Your Highness Lu Xi! You're alone! Please remember this. ”
