Early morning.

The smog is heavy.

The team is about to depart.

There are so many people and few mounts that many people need to walk.

"Let's take stock of our equipment and get ready to go!" Wang Qiang ordered.

Mark felt that there was one person missing, and after counting the number of people, he realized that Leia was not in the queue.

"Where's Leia?"

Without waiting for Wang Qiang to answer, Clark said, "Miss Leia wants to accompany Sister Catherine and says that she won't go to Kansas." ”

"Oh!" After hearing the news, Mark was a little lonely.

"What? The little lover doesn't come to send it so lost? Laurenna was in a good mood and teased Mark.

"Let's go." Mark said smirkedly.

Perhaps with Leia's side, Catherine won't be alone.

Moreover, the two did fall in love.

There was no farewell from the villagers, no Catherine to see off, and naturally no McCall to see him off.

Only loneliness followed, silently leaving the hidden village.

Kansas is deserted.

On the day when everyone left, the fierce battle between Kansas and the mechanical army continued, and naturally no one welcomed them.

However, they were received by King Robert.

Laurena had returned to her modest ladylike outfit, the tight garment making her more curvy.

She stood beside Robert, her eyes wandering, her eyes bright.

In contrast to her, Robert was emaciated and languid.

As for the new arms, he was no longer surprised, after all, he already knew their functions.

Robert reclined on the throne, his huge body standing out from the crowd.

The eye sockets are deeply sunken, the eye circles are dark, and he listlessly introduces to the people next to him:

"This is Major Mark. You are no strangers to him. I declare him to be a free man, and I hope that you will treat him as one of our kind, and do not be surprised for that. ”

Mark noticed that someone else was present at the meeting.

The slender lizardman was still beside Robert, but this time he was seated, and there were several other elders, not as many as last time.

One of the middle-aged lizardmen looked majestic, a bit like Captain Wilson, but without Wilson's sword and halberd's angry white beard.

The difference with Wilson is that he appears to be more unangry and intimidating.

Valen was also on the side, but he was standing with his hands down, at the bottom of the line.

Mark noticed that Valen was wearing an iron glove attached to a very thin chain.

At the end of the chain is the "little one" brought from the laboratory.

The "little one" grew fast, and climbed on Valen's shoulder to watch the crowd.

After a brief introduction, Robert said to Mark, "Major! In the days you have gone, our kingdom is suffering from its worst moments. The Mech Legion is attacking us with all their might, and we are at a standstill with them. ”

"Listen to Lorenna, your journey is not safe. Thanks to your protection, Princess Laurena was able to return safely. ”

With that, Mark noticed that Lorenna was smiling at him.

The smile is charming and affectionate.

The majestic elder behind her, however, stared at her, his eyes like a sharp sword, trying to penetrate people's minds.

Mark was furious at what he saw.

After a short pause, Robert continued:

"Given your merits. I propose that Major Mark recruit a contingent from among the slaves. The detachment was under the authority of Prince Lancer, who served under him and assisted him in his combat missions. ”

The slender lizardman then stood, bowed slightly with his hands on his chest, and looked at everyone with a subtle smile.

Robert said that Prince Lancer should belong to his brother and the like.

"Tut-tut."

The elders discussed the king's proposal, but they did not jump out of their seats to accuse him as they had done the first time.

Everything was logical and apparently negotiated in advance.

"Your Majesty, may I express my thoughts on your proposal?"

Mark felt that he was in Kansas after all, and it seemed unwise to openly reject Robert.

"Major, it's okay to be straight!" Robert nodded, looking at Mark with interest.

Mark looked around and realized that the hall was full of lizardmen, but he was the only human.

In a calm and calm tone, he said, "Everyone! The Legion of Machines was originally made by us humans, and you are from humans, there is no doubt about that. Although the three races are on the same page, the war has been going on, but all the causes are caused by human beings. ”

"It is true that human beings have many shortcomings, selfishness, greed, laziness, and insatiable desires, and at the same time there are many human virtues, and you also have these qualities. For this reason, I feel that although after the great changes, perhaps humanity is no longer strong and is not the only race that dominates the earth. ”

"In order to be able to better resist the purge of the Mechanical Legion, I advise the great Kansas people to stop treating humans as slaves and give them a little dignity. I firmly believe that it is in this sincerity that humanity and the people of Kansas can truly unite against the Mech. ”

This isn't the first time Mark has spoken out in this hall.

This time the view is peaceful, and it is not as fierce as the last time to criticize the actions of the people of Kansas.

Although it was refuted, at least the reaction was not as fierce as the last time, and only the majestic old man and a few elders objected.

"Presumptuous! What qualifications do you have to say such things? The majestic old man flicked his robe and looked furious at Mark's remarks, and walked straight up to him, staring at Mark with a fierce gaze.

"You humans have enslaved us for so long, and we are still in slavery without Olaf's resistance? For the sake of your comfort, greed, and depravity, we have thrown away our heads and fought bloodily until the death, why should we give you status? ”

The old man stared at Mark for a while, carefully looking at the "slave" in front of him, as if he had seen through people.

"Although it is rumored that you are from heaven and have defeated Minoan in the Kansas celebration. But it's nothing! With just a few words of your rhetoric, trying to seize the position and turn the slave situation around is tantamount to a fool's dream! ”

Robert saw that the old man retorted, and the atmosphere at the scene was stiff, which was not what he hoped for, so he came to play a round:

"Major Mark, the people of Kansas are brave and strong. Even if you convince me, it will be difficult for my people to convince. Even if you are brave and difficult alone, you always speak with strength in the face of war. In Kansas, only strength speaks. Alright, Lancer. Take him down and get acquainted with your legion. ”

Robert waved his hand and motioned for Lancer to bring the man down.

The majestic elder stopped speaking, and sat silently, glaring angrily.

Laughena seemed to be afraid of the majestic elder and stood respectfully behind him.

In some way, he may be Laurenna's father.

The two retreated from the main hall.

The prince knew him well, after all, the two had already met in prison.

He is very young, and the whole person can be summed up in just two words.

A slender body, slender limbs, a slender nose and slender eyes.

If it weren't for Robert's introduction, no matter how you look at it, you can't connect it with the relationship that Robert is a brother.

However, Lancer seemed extremely enthusiastic, without any princely pretensions, and took the initiative to greet: "Major! We've met, do you hate me? ”
