Astringent black bread, but the surrounding soldiers still recognized this extremely young looking emperor, they recognized this emperor who knew how to abide by the rules between them, Ye Zifeng won the respect of the soldiers, emperors who are willing to endure hardships are not common, the soldiers are very happy at this time, although they don't know why they are happy, but no one can suppress the excitement in their hearts, the soldiers around them applauded vigorously, the faces of the strong men were full of bold smiles, and everyone raised their wine glasses and drank it all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Although Ye Zifeng is also very happy, he is not interested in this alcoholic beverage that is very similar to drinking beer, to be honest, Ye Zifeng hates alcohol.

While the soldiers were laughing and eating their breakfast, the curtain of the dining room was lifted, and Penders hurried in, the Minister of War who was willing to go to the front, dressed in armor and covered with dust.

"Your Majesty, something has happened." Penders looked around the cafeteria, found Ye Zifeng's figure, and immediately ran forward, kneeling on one knee - this is the way of saluting soldiers, and subordinates need to kneel on one knee when reporting military information to their superiors - their heads are so low that they are about to touch the ground.

"The scouts have encountered elven scouts lurking in the woods to the northeast, and now that all the horses have gone after them, it seems that the enemy is about to cross the river ahead of schedule."

Ye Zifeng realized the seriousness of the situation, threw the black bread he had just bitten a few bites into the plate, and immediately got up: "Go to the account and set up the map." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Penders immediately got up and ran out in a hurry. This old and strong military minister is like Huang Gai of Wu during the Three Kingdoms, and he also seems to be Huang Zhong of Shu Han, anyway, he is a very powerful character, I heard that Pendes, who is now in his sixties, can put an adult rhinoceros one-on-one.

Ye Zifeng didn't bother with the tomatoes, baked soybeans and black bread that didn't move, and after drinking the wheat wine in the cup, he followed Pendes out of the dining room and walked quickly to the account not far away, which was the largest camp in the army, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a handsome account.

When Ye Zifeng entered the tent, the president of the 100,000 grassland regiments on the Mosnan Plain and the flag commanders of the ten battalions had all arrived, and they were discussing around a map.

"No need to be polite." Ye Zifeng frowned and said, he didn't care about the situation in these rules, the most important thing in front of him was to solve the situation reported by Pendes just now.

Ye Zifeng walked quickly to the map, "What's the situation?" ”

"Just now, the enemy's elven scouts have gone deep into the jungle, even fast horses can't catch up, but from a visual point of view, there are not many of them, and they don't look like they were exploring the path before the big war." The president circled an area of the forest mark on the map with the pencil in his hand, and continued, "This is the last place where I met the elven scouts, not too far ahead. ”

"But they've already crossed the river." Ye Zifeng pointed to a point on the south bank of the Moss River, "What is here?" ”

"It was originally a ferry port, but it was abandoned because it wasn't used often." The Commander replied.

Ye Zifeng thought for a while, picked up a pencil from the table, and connected the abandoned ferry with the circle circled by the previous commander.

"The shortest distance, they cross the river from here." Ye Zifeng dotted the line with a pencil, "The location of this mouth is very good, it is in the upper depression, although it is the widest position of the river in this area, but it is sheltered by woods, and the situation here cannot be seen from the lookout in Moss Town, and it is very ideal to cross the river from here." ”

"But, Your Majesty. The port is in disrepair and can't dock ferries at all, so it probably won't be the preferred landing point. The commander said suspiciously, "Moreover, after the landing, there is a large area of woods to obscure it, and it is very difficult for the army to pass." ”

Ye Zifeng wanted to refute him, when the Allies wanted to land in France from Britain, the preferred landing point should be Calais Beach instead of Normandy, but he landed from Normandy unexpectedly, and the Germans were caught off guard and the Germans lost World War II. The situation is almost exactly the same now as it was then.

"Then be vigilant, it's eight o'clock in the morning, and in an hour, send a hundred soldiers with tar to burn the abandoned ferry, and dig some traps by the way." Ye Zifeng pointed to the point where the abandoned ferry port was located, "This time I will personally lead the team." ”

"No, Your Majesty!" Before Ye Zifeng's words fell, Pendes immediately spoke to stop him, "Your Majesty can't go, if you want to go, I'll go." ”

"Isn't it okay to give this kind of task to a hundred-man commander?" The commander didn't understand why Ye Zifeng wanted to attack in person, even if there were only elf scouts in the forest, it was extremely dangerous, and the elves' swordsmanship and archery skills were equally outstanding.

"I think something is wrong, I'm going to see for myself." Ye Zifeng's words were categorical, giving people a feeling that could not be refuted, "Tonight's night attack plan will be carried out as usual. ”

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous, you still ......" Pendes was still not at ease, but he didn't understand Ye Zifeng's temper, once he decided, it was difficult to change, just like a stubborn cow, stubborn.

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind." Ye Zifeng interrupted Pendes's words with a wave of his hand, "Prepare a horse for me, and the troops will be assembled in an hour." ”

After speaking, Ye Zifeng turned around and left. An ominous premonition lingered in his heart, but Ye Zifeng couldn't understand what this feeling was, Ye Zifeng could feel it, and the answer he wanted to find was at the abandoned ferry by the river.

The bathroom was steaming, the rose-green tiles were looming around it, and a few bubbles were constantly pouring out on the turquoise hot water, not because the water was boiling, but because the air pipe was connected underneath and was blowing outward. Two red-striped and white-spiked figures appeared at the door of the bathroom, and the two of them were the only ones chatting in the huge bathroom.

Both of them are beauties, beauties of the city and country, one with waist-length red hair and one shoulder-length black hair. The black-haired one had a smile on his face, as if he was explaining something, while the red-haired one listened impatiently to the black-haired beauty's words, with a look of ignorance. Su Ling asked Artoria to take a shower in the hotel bathroom, although I don't know what the specific reason was, but this basically ruled out the possibility of Saber eavesdropping.

At first, Artoria was naturally reluctant and did not respond, which made Su Ling stand in front of Artoria's room for nearly half an hour, before Artoria opened the door with an impatient expression and asked Su Ling unceremoniously what he was going to do. Hearing Su Ling propose to take a bath together, Artoria smiled, and said, "Wash it, who is afraid of whom", this is the original words, and then she straightened her proud chest, so that Saber on the side couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and twisted her face to the side.

But when both of them stripped naked, Artoria knew that people should not be good-looking, Su Ling's thin body wrapped in a black tweed trench coat was so uneven, comparable to Artoria, but there was a little more skinny temptation, which made Artoria very unhappy, so she has been depressed until now, although Su Ling kept laughing and explaining that this was caused by genetics, Artoria's figure was also good. Still, Artoria felt annoyed.

The two of them stepped into the bath together, and the turquoise water rippled out of the tiled fence and onto the bathroom floor.

"Whew~" Su Ling let out a long breath, sank to the bottom of the water relaxedly, and floated up after soaking his long black hair. Artoria sat on the edge of the pool, motionless.

"Don't be angry, I didn't mean to compare with you." Su Ling smiled bitterly, "I have something to tell you about when I look for you." ”

"Business?" Artoria looked at Su Ling next to her strangely, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"It's serious, but before I do that, I'd like to ask you to hear a story." Su Ling stretched out a finger and pointed to the ceiling, and then drew circles in the water, and subtle ripples spread outward, making the curve of Su Ling's proud chest looming.

"What's the story?" Artoria became interested, and curiosity washed away the impatience in her heart, which could not be said to be irritable, Artoria moved her body to Su Ling's side, and the two sat side by side, like good sisters.

"It's about, our story." Su Ling smiled, "About the new federation. ”

"A story about the New Federation?" Artoria thought about it, and suddenly found herself lurking in the New Federation, only knowing that the New Federation and the Admiralty had some kind of feud with the Ministry of the Admiralty, but she didn't know what it was. Su Ling's words brought Artoria to her senses.

"Actually, the new Federation and the Admiralty are not enemies." Su Ling's sudden words frightened Artoria a lot. Not an enemy, not an enemy after killing so many people in the Admiralty? This kind of talk is a lie no matter how you look at it.

"Actually, it's true, even if you don't believe it." Su Ling sighed, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, replaced by an indescribable sorrow, Artoria looked worried, she had never seen such an expression on such a young face.

"In fact, the original intention of the establishment of the new federation was not to seize the Admiralty, but to evolve humanity itself, and from the beginning to the present, the original intention of the new federation has not changed. We also noticed the threat in space during the first battle to defend the solar system, and anyone who didn't follow the Apollo moon landing knew about it. Su Ling said it lightly, but it was a grand festival for mankind, and it was regarded as the first stop of mankind's march into the universe, how could it be that no one paid attention, and even if no one paid attention, they couldn't pay attention to the battle in space.

"When we were aware of the threat, we also noticed the Admiralty, but we didn't think of strengthening humanity with technology, but strengthening humanity from within." Su Ling gently patted the surface of the water with both hands, causing bursts of splash.

"From within?" Artoria asked.

"It's from within, from the future of humanity." Su Ling's tone seemed to be flat when he spoke, but he could read great ambition in it, and Artoria couldn't understand it.

"What's the next stop in human evolution, you say?" Su Ling threw out the question at this time, and Artoria thought about it.

"It's genes?"

"That's right, it's genes, but more precisely, developing the brain, making the brain smarter is the next goal of human evolution, and strengthening genes is one of the means, just like the Admiralty's group of Round Table Knights who strengthen the cell tissue, that is, the Admiralty's replication experiment from the experience we have learned." Su Ling used his finger to draw the double helix structure of the DNA molecule on the surface of the water, "Do you know the infiltrator? ”

"Yes, the strongest team in the new Federation." Artoria nodded without even thinking about it.

"They are genetically fortified people, seven in all, under my direct command." Su Ling tapped seven times on the water, and each time he clicked, he said the code name of a person.

“saber，archer，lancer，rider，caster，assassin，berserker。” Su Ling pronounced the seven English in standard English pronunciation.

"Sounds a bit like the Holy Grail War." Artoria complained.

"It's a bit similar, if not identical, but our seven titles have been around since before the TYPE-MOON company was founded." Su Ling nodded, "This is the most successful genetic enhancer, they have superhuman abilities, for example, archer has eagle-like vision, even without an optical sight, he can easily aim at any target within the range of L115A4, which means that the absolute radius of the archer is one mile, and any enemy exposed to the archer's eyes within this range will be killed with a single shot, as far as I know, there is only one exception." ”

"Listening to what you say, the new Federation should not be hostile to the Admiralty, the two are developing in different directions, and there is no fundamental conflict of interest at all." Altori wondered.

"No, but I don't know what my father thinks, he wants to ally with the Admiralty against the invasion of the Pilgrims." Su Ling raised his head, and his hands, which had been playing in the water, also stopped moving, sank underwater, and gently stroked his flat lower abdomen.

"Are you all happy?" Artoria twisted her face to the side.

"But the Admiralty does not allow anyone to be as secretive as them, to do the same thing, to protect the planet." Su Ling's tone suddenly became cold.

"Why?" Artoria was taken aback, she thought it was a mistake on the part of the new federation after the cooperation between the two sides, but it didn't come to pass, and the cooperation was unsuccessful.

"I don't know, maybe it was the selfishness of that Elders' meeting, which led to the break between the Admiralty and the New Federation, and the meeting was conducted in secret, which was more secret than the identities of the two sides at that time, so only a few people knew about this meeting. After the break, the new federation decided to go its own way, but the admiralty actually took a fancy to the genetic enhancement technology of the new federation and sent spies to steal technology, which made the new federation unbearable, so the first murder occurred, we hired the killer to kill the spy who had already obtained the information, recaptured the information, and in order to deter, let the killer who was discharged at that time write in the bicycle shed downstairs of the deceased 'I come from the darkness, hidden and dark'. However, the Admiralty used this as an excuse to strangle the New Federation, which suffered heavy losses at that time, but the most confidential documents were not lost, which undoubtedly angered the Admiralty, so it has been in confrontation with the New Federation ever since, and even opened up the South American rainforest battlefield. Su Ling's words were full of resentment towards the Admiralty, but Artoria heard from it that Su Ling himself seemed to be hope.

"You mean, the Admiralty was at fault in the first place?" Artoria asked tentatively.

"It's not a bad question, it's just that someone else took advantage of this incident to satisfy his own selfish interests." Su Ling shook his head, "I have no intention of being an enemy of the Admiralty. ”

"But why ...... after that"

"Are you trying to say why the new Federation and the Admiralty are still facing off after my father's death?" Su Ling only got to what Artoria thought in her heart, "It's very simple, not wanting to be an enemy of the Admiralty is just wishful thinking on my part, that's all." ”

"Wishful thinking? Isn't it you the master who is now in charge of the new federation? Artoria was surprised again, there were really a lot of surprises after listening to Su Ling's story today.

"On the surface, but my developed orders are useless, and no one wants to listen to them, so I will use a voice changer to give orders to various members of the new federation, but there are still people I can't control." Su Ling's eyes were a little dim, and even a little distracted.

"And who's in control of the new Federation now?"

"According to the development of the plot, of course one of my father's brothers is in power, and the reality is true, my uncle secretly controls the new Federation, so I can't make too many moves, so far, I have only given the task of sending Saber around the world to find ruins and having Caster invade the Bermuda Institute to steal data about the pilgrims' research, and the rest of the sabotage against the Admiralty is all out of my hands, and I don't even have the authority to know. Don't look at me I can wander around the world, I have endless dollars on my body, I am just under house arrest by my uncle on the earth, and I can't escape my uncle's surveillance in any corner, although I can't say that this is not the life I want, but for a person in power, the power in your hands is taken away and you can only live a life of doing nothing, how to see enough sadness. Su Ling slowly dived underwater, leaving only his head exposed on the water, "So, my current situation is really not too good, although in the eyes of ordinary people I am a rich family daughter, but in the eyes of my uncle, I am just a puppet who let him control the new Federation, and thanks to the incompetent master of me, my uncle can attack the Admiralty unscrupulously." ”

"That's right." Artoria pondered, "What are you telling me all this for?" ”

"Then it's time for business." Su Ling stood up from the water, his bumpy figure was completely exposed to the mist, his snow-white skin was like a new lotus, flawless, he shook his head, and the droplets of water on his long black hair were floating everywhere, "I want to hire you to be my killer." ”
