Wang Du, the Supreme Command of the Eagle Banner Army, Leng Kite had a cigar on her mouth that was almost burned out, but she couldn't spare her hand to light another one for herself, she was watching the war sand table intently, and according to the information sent back from the front line, the military chess pieces on the sand table were moved, so that she could see the situation more quickly and make adjustments.

At this time, a herald dressed in black with the Eagle Banner ran in and gave a military salute: "Report to the general, the Generalissimo's personal conscription troops will arrive at the garrison in three days." ”

Leng Kite nodded silently, signaling that the herald could retreat.

The old marshal is old and should not have appeared on the front line of the battlefield for a long time, but this time the old marshal personally marched, not that he really wanted to kill the enemy, but just wanted to show an attitude, when he collapsed for 3 years, he lost his wife and daughter for the great cause of the country, endured humiliation, and signed the "Imperial Federation Mutual Assistance Treaty" with infamy, and this time, he expressed his determination with his personal expedition, telling everyone that this is a life-and-death battle with no way out.

Leng Kite placed the chess pieces representing the old marshal to the station, and then moved his finger forward and drew a line at the front-line position, which represented the air defense early warning.

For the Red Blood Empire, the most lethal weapon of the Federation is their Valkyrie troops, for this kind of troops that have complete air supremacy, the empire currently does not have sufficient countermeasures, these Valkyries' stealth paint can easily avoid even radar, the only thing that can work is the psionic reconnaissance network composed of spiritual abilities from all over the world, which can quickly detect the trajectory of the Valkyrie and issue an air defense warning.

Soon, Leng Kite used the telepathy connected to her mind to feedback her opinions to Lucky, allowing her to convey them to the psionic people in various psychic networks.

After doing this, another herald walked in and said in a deep voice, "General, someone has to see you." ”

Leng Kite seemed to have anticipated who was coming, and said silently, "Let him in." ”

As soon as the words fell, a big hand pushed away the herald, and a body more than two meters tall squeezed in, and the voice was like a bell: "General! Please let me fight! ”

This is a square mouth, leopard-headed and gray-haired old man, the horizontal flesh on his face is as deep as a knife and axe, full of terrible evil aura, however, this Zhong Kui's reincarnated non-god, non-ghost and non-human appearance can't stop the erosion of time after all, and the withered yellow skin is full of wrinkles, so deep that it seems to be able to absorb a handful of loess.

Leng Kite didn't say anything, and continued to look at the sand table.

The old man strode forward, stood still in front of the cold kite, his blood and qi surged, and roared sharply: "General! Please let me fight! ”

Leng Kite raised his head and silently looked at the brand-new uniform on the old man's body, from the point of view of the standard, this is already a very old uniform, but it can be seen that the owner cherishes it very much, and cleans and rubs the dirt for it every day, just like recalling the eventful years of the past, ten years of drinking ice, and the blood is difficult to cold.

Leng Kite lowered his gaze again, continued to look at the sand table, and said silently: "Luo Hanlin, you have been discharged from the army, this war has nothing to do with you, let's go back to the house to recuperate." ”

Luo Hanlin raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "The country is in trouble, how can I have no reason not to fight?!" ”

Leng Kite sighed and said, "The Red Blood Empire is full of warriors, why do you need an 82-year-old veteran to come out?" What's more, you're not a general anymore. ”

Luo Hanlin was furious, and in front of Leng Kite, he smashed the sand table on the table with a punch, and said eight characters: "One day for a general, a lifetime for a general!" ”

The sand table was shattered, and the sound alarmed the guards outside, but after the guards ran in, they looked at Leng Kite, and then at Luo Hanlin, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only summon two companions, come in and silently clean up the debris, and moved a new sand table up.

In the spare time of this episode, Leng Kite finally had time to relight a new cigar for herself, she let out a long breath, shook her head silently and said: "Luo Hanlin, you and I have worked together for so many years, and you will charge forward every time there is a war, don't I know that you are full of blood?" But then again, you can't deny that you're old and not the same person you once were. ”

"Fifteen years ago, you were able to stay alone in the north. Twelve years ago, you could have been an army on your own. Eight years ago, you could stop a million swarms. Five years ago, you were able to beat three in a tournament. But then what? Leng Kite stared into Luo Hanlin's eyes, as if he was looking at his past, "Three years ago, the rebels were wiped out, and a few dead soldiers in the Royal Forest had already put you in a hard battle, and in the end, Luo Wei saved you." Now, three years later, how much power do you still have? ”

Leng Kite walked up to Luo Hanlin, stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder, and said in a good voice: "So, it's not that I underestimate you, but your time has really passed." The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the red-blooded empire has many talents, and there is no need for an 82-year-old veteran to fight for his life. If you are forcibly allowed to go into battle, with your current strength, it will not be a great feat. Losing is a devastating blow to morale. If you really want to help, you can, stay in the rear to carry supplies, take care of the wounded, tell your story to the recruits, and boost their morale, that's what you should do. ”

What Leng Kite said, how could Luo Hanlin not know that his body was his own, and he knew better than anyone that he was aging every day.

Thor is not a god, but a mortal who fights with his body to gain the power of Thor, but in the final analysis, he is still a mortal, he will grow old and die.

In the past few years, Luo Hanlin's appetite has been declining every day, and he tries to increase his strength by gluttonizing eggs and meat, but he often can't eat while eating, and he vomits if he eats hard.

The strength training that is usually done in the house is also the same, and the weight that he can easily lift in the first two years makes his joints click now, and every muscle is trembling.

Luo Hanlin knows very well that in the race against time, any of his efforts are not against the current, but just to make himself regress more slowly, and no matter what, he can't reverse the fact of regression.

Luo Hanlin's eyes were lonely like a lion in his old age, but he was still burning with an inextinguishable fire, he stretched out his calloused hands, and his tone was as complicated as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle: "General, I don't have many years to live, whether I win or lose this war, it must be the last war I have experienced in my life." My blood and heart can't be cooled! Just yesterday, I dreamed that I was galloping on the battlefield to kill the enemy! I gave my whole life to the empire, and I was like its father, watching it come out in ignorance, learning to walk, thriving, watching all its ups and downs. ”

"In the first year of the collapse, the mountains and rivers were broken, and I watched it fall, and then I watched it stand up. Honkai 3 years after the Federation invasion, I watched it fall again, but still saw it struggle to get up. I just watched as it broke its head and bled as it ran forward strongly, stumbling and stumbling. ”

"I never felt like a hero, I just wanted to be like you, like everyone else, to help it when it falls, so that it bleeds less, hurts less, that's all my life."

"So, General, please let me go to war, for the last time in this life, for you, for the entire empire!"
