Higg asked, "Why did Andrew let me risk running away back then?" ”

Johnson said: "When Andrew's and I were exposed, and we knew your whereabouts, the young marshal, the time was urgent, so Andrew and I had to let you risk escaping, and we had the Battle Pass to attract most of the enemy. Fortunately, the young marshal is blessed with a great life and is safe and sound! Back then, Mrs. once said that you will not be allowed to take revenge on the young marshal, and let you choose your own path, so we have to let go and let the young marshal grow and run around alone, which is also a last resort! ”

Higg laughed, "Let me choose my own path? Do I have a choice? You and Andrew probably already designed it! ”

Johnson said embarrassedly: "Hehe, young marshal, we are only hinting at McCann's direction, and we don't know what happened on the way." If the young marshal is willing to be mediocre, of course we have nothing to say, but if the young marshal chooses the way back, all of us will follow the young marshal! ”

Higg smiled bitterly: "I have actually been kidnapped all along, how can I have any chance to choose my own path?" You don't have a choice, you just go the same way! Remember your forward general Rogson and chief of the guard Snolin? ”

"General Rogson and General Snorlin are not dead?" Johnson and Gamble were taken aback, "We only heard that after they surrendered, they led a few hundred cronies out of the fortress to find the young marshal, but they were chased and killed by various armies, and there was no news!" Marshal, where are they? ”

Higg pointed to Thomas, Pantony, and Butterfly Caiyun, and said with a smile: "The three of them have seen the two generals, Rogson and Snowlin, hehe, on Shenlong Island!" ”

Thomas shouted, "We've met, Dragon Island?" ”

Higra took Lan Xian'er's hand and walked towards the village, the village of more than a hundred people is not very big, with one-color wooden houses, a few farmlands and orchards, except that there are no chickens and dogs barking, there is not much difference from the village outside. It was in this isolated village that these veterans guarded their parents' mausoleums for more than 20 years. In front of the village is a large flat land, which is pressed very flat, without growing grass, which is estimated to be the training ground for these veterans, and at the back of the village, there are dozens of graves, which are estimated to be the fate of veterans who died in battle or disease.

The people of the village came to see their young marshal, almost none of them were disabled, some of them lost their hands and feet, they were carried here, some were blind, they were carried by others, and the wounds of the war did not erase the imprint of this village more than 20 years later.

Gampoch took Higg and Blue Fairy to the largest house in the village to settle in, and Higg told the room full of people about the separation from Shenlong Island, all of whom looked nervous, some secretly admired, some excited, some geared up, and some sighed for Snowlin's disappearance......

"General Johnson, where the hell did Andrew go? When will he be back? Higg asked.

Johnson said: "General Andrew is now in contact with the Fifth Army, hoping to gather some of the Marshal's former subordinates to oppose Arad together!" I don't think I'll be back until two months later! ”

Higg asked curiously, "Isn't the Fifth Legion loyal to the Queen?" Although the rebellion is difficult to quell, it is still the Qinwang army in their bones! ”

Johnson said: "Although Marshal Montgoser of the Fifth Legion has the heart of King Qin, he is weak, coupled with the internal division in the past few years, the shortage of materials, the heart of the entire army is turbulent, and now the forces of King Qin and the rebels are evenly matched in the Fifth Legion, and the Fifth Army is in danger!" ”

Higg laughed: "What's the point of Andrew touching it himself?" The original marshal's subordinates, they did not experience that life-and-death battle, and after more than 20 years of political baptism, what can Andrew do? Although I believe that in addition to you, there will be many loyal and brave men in the Fifth Legion, but in the face of strength and interests, people's hearts will change. This is not to belittle them, they are different from you, you have not experienced the rebellion of Arad, you have not experienced the influence of political bargaining, so it is difficult to understand the change of hearts and minds after more than 20 years. In troubled times, in the face of absolute interests and strength, we should only believe in our own people, and believe in those who have been born and died like us. So, we need strength, we need to fight, we need to prove ourselves, and we need to have a determination to wash away shame! ”

"We are willing to follow the young marshal, defend the dignity of the Fifth Army, and wash away the shame of the past!" The room full of people shouted.

Higg laughed: "The Fifth Legion has never been defeated, where is the shame?" ”

"The loss of the marshal and the lady is our greatest shame!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Higg said: "Maybe you don't know the situation outside, Arad has occupied most of the country for six years, and after these six years of preparation, although the Third Army is still a legion, it is divided into six theaters, and the total strength has overwhelmed Queen Catherine's King Qinwang's forces. Six years ago, when the Qinwang army was completely superior in strength, it couldn't take advantage of Arad, but now the situation is reversed and there are many difficulties, do you really want to do this? ”

Johnson said in shock: "Young marshal, back then, the marshal fought the entire barbarian country with the strength of a legion, and even almost captured the opponent's capital. Now that it is only the Arad Legion, why does the young marshal not have the confidence to lead us and restore the glory of the Fifth Legion? ”

"Good!" Higg stood up and said loudly: "I have promised McCann, Saiya, Rogson and Snorlin before, that I will lead them to wash away their grievances and shame!" If you are not afraid of death, then I will lead you, charge at the front, and make the enemy tremble under our swords! ”

"Swear to follow the young marshal to the death, and charge at the forefront!" The crowd shouted loudly.

"Many of us are going to die, including me!" "But please remember, we are not trying to rebuild the glory of the Fifth Legion, we are here to prove our indomitable soul, our undefeated will, and for the sake of our comrades who died before us, we will go forward and die without regrets!" ”

"Serve!" Gampoch shouted.

"Are you swearing here, why are you missing me?" Outside the door of the house, a handsome and tall young man, carrying a bow and arrow, and holding the hilt of a short knife hanging from his waist, walked towards Hig, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Young marshal, the commander of the elven archery guard, Kolincha, has led his troops to follow the young marshal!" ”

Johnson said coldly: "Hmph, General Corincha, you disobeyed the marshal's warrior order, returned to the army without authorization, and almost killed the young marshal, what kind of face do you have in front of you to follow the young marshal!" ”

Corincha knelt in place, did not get up, and said: "The situation was different back then, the body of my master, Princess Jenny, was still in the hands of the enemy, and I could not let the body of the princess of the forest country be accepted*. Although I am in the Fifth Legion, I am not actually under the command of the Fifth Legion, and the Battle Order is not binding on me, and my main task is to protect Princess Jenny! General Johnson, in the final analysis, we can only say that we are our own masters, if it were you, what choice would you have? ”

Johnson said angrily: "General Corincha, you dare to say that the young marshal is not your master, only the lady is?" Put the young marshal in danger, do you dare to be so arrogant? ”

"That's it!" Higg stepped forward to help Kolincha and said, "Things are changing rapidly, where is the time to think about who to save first, and who not to save first?" Corincha is my mother's bodyguard, of course, the first responsibility is to protect my mother, Johnson is my father's subordinate, of course, the first thing is to carry out military orders, there is nothing wrong, we have to put this hatred on Arad's account! ”

"Yes, young marshal!" Johnson and Corincha answered at the same time.

Gampochi asked, "Young Marshal, when will you take us out?" We've been locked up here for over twenty years now! ”

Higg didn't answer Gampochi's culture, turned his face away, and looked at Lan Xian'er suspiciously, Can you get out, Higg himself has no bottom, even Andrew has studied for so many years, but he hasn't found a way out, why can he take them out of this space as soon as he comes?

Blue Fairy smiled knowingly at Higg, nodded, leaned into Higg's ear and whispered, "When Andrew gets the clover back, I'll have a way!" ”

Higg smiled, turned around and said loudly, "Everyone, assemble at the training ground!" ”

Higra followed the blue fairy and returned to the training ground in front of the village, where dozens of elven archers had already lined up. Those elven archers were all tall and handsome, with long bows on their backs, pointed ears, and neat and tidy uniforms, which were common traits to them.

Corincha walked up to Higg and said, "Young marshal, there are seventy-two elven archers, and they have already lined up!" ”

Higg nodded and asked, "That's all there is left of your escort?" ”

"Thirty-three others with limited mobility have stayed in the wooden huts in the forest and have not come with the team!" ”

"Young marshal!" Gampoch stepped forward and said, "All the guards have been assembled, except for the fifty-six people who have difficulty moving and General Andrew, a total of one hundred and six people are lined up!" ”

Higg nodded, walked to the front of the queue, holding the bow of the tree elves in his left hand and the warrior token in his right hand, and said loudly: "Warriors, I believe that each of you knows these two treasures in my hands, more than twenty years ago, you followed their masters, invincible, invincible!" But twenty-three years ago, these two treasures were covered with dust, tens of millions of warriors were disgraced, the commander and his wife were killed, and countless soldiers were killed and wounded. Today, I have these two treasures again, but do you still have the courage to work with me to restore our glory and wash away our humiliation? ”

"Swear to follow the young marshal!" Shouts resounded over Swan Lake!

"Good! But it's not enough to have a death-defying decision! Higg turned to Gampoch and said, "General Gampochi, you are in charge of reorganizing the infantry battalion and returning to its original combat strength in two months!" ”

"Yes, young marshal!"

"Corincha, you reorganize the bow and crossbow battalion, not only the elven archers, but also the old crossbowmen of the Fifth Legion will also be taken over by you, and you will return to their original combat effectiveness in two months!"

Higg then said to Johnson: "General Johnson, you reorganize the cavalry battalion, we don't have paladins now, I have wronged you!" ”

"Yes, young marshal!" Johnson said excitedly, "We have paladins, but we lack paladins' equipment and horses!" ”

Higg asked in surprise, "We have paladins?" ”

Johnson smiled and said, "With me, we have three paladins left, and in addition, I have also found a paladin seedling!" ”

"Who?"

Johnson said proudly: "Thomas, he is only sixteen years old, and after nearly two years of my training, he is already about to become a qualified paladin!" ”

"Thomas?"
