Alice was in a hurry, and said openly: "I'm not a road idiot, hehe!" If I'm a road idiot, Catherine, you're a road idiot. Hehe, when Catherine was a child, she would get lost in the palace. ”

"You ......," Catherine turned black in an instant when she heard this.

"Well, although we haven't seen each other for a long time, if you have any gossip, let's wait until we finish talking about business." Nagisa hurriedly took Alice's hand and asked her to stand beside her, so as not to clash with Catherine on the spot, and turned to Jiu Ling, "Jiu Ling, long time no see." How have you been doing here? Okay? ”

Jiu Ling immediately understood, and quickly diverted the previous topic from his words: "Evans, you guy, you went to school in the academy, and you are unofficial and light." We have to be busy with this and that every day, where is it good? It's not even better now, don't you know? We've already fought a big battle with the Desert Empire. ”

"Huh? The result? Catherine had long forgotten to pursue Alice's claim that she was a road idiot, and hurriedly grabbed Jiu Ling and asked.

Jiu Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid you can't predict the result - the first battle between the two countries officially clashed, and there were tens of thousands of casualties on each side. ”

This time, Nagisa was also shocked: "What?!" So much loss? ”

"Hey, don't scream. It's enough of a headache to have so many people killed, and what's even worse is that Ranmarok and Lancelot have all died. Jiu Ling said, his voice gradually lowered, and his eyes were also stained with a little sadness.

"What?!" Several people present had just sat down, and when they heard the news, they all stood up suddenly, and because of the amplitude of their movements, they overturned several chairs.

"Two Knights of the Star Cup were killed in a battle? Are you kidding! Catherine shouted.

"Jiuling, tell me the detailed process from beginning to end, don't miss anything." Nagisa barely kept his composure.

"Ah, here's the thing...... so Jiu Ling once again completely recounted the cause and effect of that night to Nagisa and his party, "That's it, now I am ordered by King Arthur to take back all the front-line troops, and hold the fortress without fighting." It's been almost twenty days now. ”

"Whew...... I see. Looks like they're already starting to get moving. But it's really ruthless, and it's two Star Cup Knights at once. ”

"yes. Alright, everyone here stands up! KingArthur has an order. The content is as follows: Nagisa, Catherine, and Faeron excel academically and excel in the Dark Sanctuary Academy. and successfully resolved the incident of the Remnant Cloud Wild Bandits, and also performed well in the whole process. Now because two Star Cup Knights have been killed, I have passed my order to inherit the honor of Star Cup Knight - Gawain. Catherine and Pheren inherit the positions of Lancelot, the Hero, and Lancelot, the Sacrifice, respectively. Zack and Remnant Cloud, according to the performance mentioned in Nagisa's report, are now allowed to participate in the competition for the position of Star Cup Knight Loyalty-Bedwell. Remnant Yun and his subordinates were directly integrated into Nagisa's organization, and Nagisa was directly under his command. Alice, on the other hand, acts as Nagisa's lieutenant as usual. Above. ”

The news had just been announced, and everyone present was taken aback.

Nagisa was the first to express his question: "Jiuling, this is Saber's order?" Isn't it too fast, although Catherine and the others are really good, but ......"

"Nagisa, there is no doubt that this is Saber's order, and I have not added or subtracted a word. Saber gave such an order to stabilize the morale of the army, and also to allow Catherine and Feron to grow up faster. ”

"Well, since Saber said so, I have no objection. However, since this is an extraordinary time, there is no need to hold any ceremonies. ”

"Nagisa, you're wrong again, hehe. Saber means that the sealing of three knights at once is a rare event in the history of the Middle Kingdom, so she wants to take this opportunity to re-boost morale and make the troops identify with you, so the award ceremony will definitely happen. But you don't have to worry about this, just wait in peace. ”

"Saber is still acting so unexpectedly...... But I believe she has her own reasoning, so let her arrange it. What do we need to do during this time? ”

"Well, you just came back, and you are newly crowned knights, and Remnant Yun's subordinates still have to carry out formal training and study, so Saber gave us three months, asking us not to fight easily to meet the enemy within these three months, but to make every effort to improve the combat power of the troops."

"Three months?!" Catherine looked up abruptly and denied, "No! Three months is too long, the war is urgent, and no one can guarantee that there will be no uncertainties during this time. ”

"Catherine, don't worry, Saber's arrangement is naturally ripe for consideration - Nagisa, I have something to say to you." Jiu Ling pulled Nagisa aside and didn't say a word, "Our dark chess said in the report sent a few days ago that if you give him three months, he should be able to get the relevant information on optical camouflage smoothly." At that time, he will strive to transmit the data as soon as possible. ”

"Well, it doesn't seem to be easy."

"The nature of a tyrant, did you know it the first day? Not only that, as I said just now, they need time to train, and you yourself have to carry out large-scale upgrades to the body, and the lifting parts of Niu Gao need time to be produced and debugged. Considering the above points, three months is very necessary. ”

"But ......," Nagisa pondered.

"I know what you're worried about. The reason why Dark Chess didn't reveal the optical camouflage before was because he needed to build enough trust, and secondly, he didn't have a chance to send out the news when he knew about it - the tyrant blocked the news very tightly this time, and even the god of death and fire were not very clear in advance. Jiu Ling glanced at Nagisa meaningfully, "And you have to understand that this is all what Saber meant, and you should trust her judgment." ”

"I see, so be it." Nagisa thought for a long time, but agreed, and turned to everyone, "I fully understand the reason for the matter, everyone must strictly abide by all the arrangements of KingArthur, without any doubt, everything is under control." Everyone should make good use of the three months to enhance the combat strength of the troops as soon as possible, and strive to mingle with the troops and enhance their sense of identity. That's it, above. Let's disperse. Brother Remnant Yun, you can stay for a moment. ”

"What's wrong?" Remnant Cloud approached Nagisa and asked.

"You and your men will be trained by a dedicated person, and your Mech Pirate X1 will undergo a major upgrade over the next three months, and someone will contact you at that time." Nagisa said, handing him a communicator, "This is an internal communication device at the level of a Wang **** officer, you can just carry it with you." ”

"Well, it's too much trouble for Nagisa-sama and a few other adults. In that case, I'll gather my men first. ”

"You don't have to learn how formal they call us, you just call us by our names in private." As soon as Nagisa said this, his left arm was firmly embraced.

"Lord Nagisa, it's been a long time since I've eaten the food you cooked, and I'm going to eat a lot of delicious food!" Alice said coquettishly with both hands dangling Nagisa's arm.

"Alice, don't shake it, my arm is about to break. Okay, good, I'll make you a lot of delicious food tonight. But now go with me to the exclusive hangar for the maintenance of the machine - Brother Remnant Yun, that's it for today, you have a good rest. ”

"Okay." Alice took Nagisa's arm and left. Remnant Cloud also followed behind them, leaving alone.

"That, Catherine...... Who is this girl named Alice? Faeron looked at Alice and Nagisa's backs, couldn't suppress his curiosity, and couldn't help but ask.

"She, hehe, it's a long story about her. I'll cut it short. As you may have heard at the city gates, Nagisa is the young patriarch of the Aramis family, and Alice is a distant relative of their family. For some special reasons, Alice was sent here to live since she was a child - it can be regarded as Nagisa's childhood sweetheart. Saber, me, Nagisa and Alice are all good friends who have played together since childhood, and there are a few other people who are also our hair young. I think I'll be able to see you this time, so I'll tell you about it then. ”

"Then can I take the liberty of asking, how old are you?" Feron was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, Faeron, it's rude to inquire about a woman's age without permission, and it's against the rules of knighthood. You, as a Star Cup Knight, should be a little more restrained. Zach pointedly accused.

"I said Brother Lu, can you not speak in such a serious tone while showing a curious baby's eyes in your eyes?" Feren immediately retorted, in fact, his own eyes were full of the look he scorned.

"Uh...... Well, it's not a great secret either. Catherine's scalp was numb when the two of them saw it, "Forget it, Jiuling, you can tell me, you know a lot anyway." ”

"Well, then let me satisfy the intellectual curiosity of you two gentlemen. Our KingArthur and Catherine are the same age, both nineteen years old. Nagisa is a year older than the two of them, twenty years this year. As for Alice, she just celebrated her eighteenth birthday not long ago. I'm a little older than the rest of them, and I'm twenty-three years old. ”
