It was late at night, and Commander Ryan stood alone at the gates of the Valanger, looking out at the Great Wall in the distance.

"You're thinking about Kyle and that little imp, right?" said a word from behind him, and Ryan immediately knew that it was Councilor Whiss.

"Old friend, why haven't you rested?" Ryan said with a quip, "you're no longer the boy you were from more than thirty years ago, and health is the most important thing now." ”

"No," Councillor Whiss grimaced, "the most important thing now is how to resolve this crisis, Lane. ”

Listening to Councilor Whisker's words, Commander Lane's face became heavy.

"Disaster is coming, Ryan," Councillor Whiss's tone was full of worry, "I dreamed again that blood was raining down in the sky above Ace!"

"That's a fake, old man!" said Ryan, pretending to be calm, "the conflict between us and the mountain people will surely be resolved peacefully." ”

"No, Ryan, don't play dumb!" Councillor Whiss retorted in a low voice, "You know in your heart, I'm not talking about this conflict at all!"

Commander Ryan no longer retorted, what he was thinking in his heart was actually the same as Councilor Whiss.

"I don't want that horrible legend to come true," Councillor Whiss' tone was full of worry, "There is no Knight Cord in the Ace Empire, there is no 'Dawn Light', and the current peace is just an illusion!"

"All right, old friend," Ryan patted Councillor Whiss on the shoulder and gave him a firm smile, "but we have to have hope, don't we?"

"How do you want to solve the problem at hand?" Councillor Weishi's tone softened a lot, and he slowly calmed down.

"I always felt like God was telling me what to do. Ryan looked at the sky, where the stars twinkled.

"You mean Kyle?"

"He's just a midshipman, but he's come back with a gold medal," Ryan turned to look at Councillor Whiss, "Don't you think it's a guide from heaven?"

"I feel it too," Councillor Whistle also looked to the sky, "and it seems to be directing us to Tambery." ”

Tamberi is the capital of the Esnan Kingdom, where there is the most powerful legion in the entire Southern Kingdom, the Golden Armored Cavalry Regiment. As the royal guards, these golden-armored knights are all excellent warriors in ten thousand, and with their strong combat effectiveness, the army of the northern kingdom of Ace has repeatedly failed to go south. And the gold medal is as important to the knight as the heart.

"How long has it been since you've seen this thing?" Ryan took out the gold medal Kyle had sent back and looked at it repeatedly.

"It's been more than ten years since we took off our gold armor," Councillor Wis also looked at the medal, recalling. ”

"I miss it," Commander Ryan recalled, "when the enemy saw our golden armor, turned and ran, like children who had done something wrong. ”

"I don't know if the current knight legion is as brave as it was at the beginning..."

"Whistle, I'm going to Tambery. Commander Ryan said to Councillor Whiss, "I want to meet my old friend." ”

"Didn't they all know about it?" asked Councillor Whiss, "and we wrote to Tamberi as soon as we got it, didn't we?"

"That's right, but..."

"What's wrong?"

Their reply worries me. Commander Ryan frowned again, "Willie, I'm not going to hide it, I had the same dream as you!"

Councillor Whiss' eyes widened, unable to believe what he was hearing.

"I've been trying to convince myself, but, when you say it, my heart echoes and I know I can't fool myself anymore. ”

"Ryan..."

"Valanger is going to hand it over to you for the time being, Whiss," Ryan put the gold medal in Councillor Whiss' hand, "I'll leave tomorrow." ”

"No, let's go together!" said Councillor Whiss anxiously, "I also want to meet an old friend I haven't seen for more than ten years!"

"Valanger needs a leader, Whiss," Commander Ryan patted Councillor Whisk on the shoulder, "There's no more reliable person than you." ”

"No, Ryan..."Councillor Whiss suddenly burst into tears, and the fifty-year-old man was about to cry, "Valanger can't live without you!"

"Valanger is part of Ace, and I'm doing it for Ace and for Valanger. Commander Ryan smiled, "It's all an old man, why do you want to cry?"

Councillor Wis stopped talking, he knew what it meant for Ryan to go to Tambery.

"Tomorrow, I'll let the ironclad knights of Valango escort you. Councillor Whiss knew he couldn't stop Ryan, so he had to compromise.

"I'm not going to war, why do I need an army escort," Ryan immediately refused, "just bring two guards." ”

"Ryan!"

"Trust me, I'll be back soon," Ryan said meaningfully, looking at the Great Wall, "There's a lot I haven't told Kyle or that little imp about." ”

At this moment, the sappers on the Great Wall returned to the shed. They had a hard day, and everyone slept soundly.

Locke and Kyle slept on straw mats, revisiting the Love Volcano, Kailin, and Vallange in their dreams. In these three or four days, they seem to have experienced much more than in the previous ten years, and this has also made them grow a lot in an instant.

"Get me up!

Suddenly, a roar is heard, which startles Locke and Kyle, who quickly climb out of the shed to find everyone lined up.

It turned out that it was already dawn.

"Don't be late next time, understand!" the overseer pointed at the two of them with a rattan in his hand, as if he was going to draw it at any moment, "otherwise the 'admonisher' in my hand will not show mercy!"

"I didn't expect him to give rattan such a nice name..."Locke whispered to Kyle with a sideways face.

"You!" the Overseer pointed at Locke when he saw him whispering, "What are you talking about!

"Report to the Sir!" Locke picked up his tone, "I'm asking Kyle how he's going to sneak that silver coin into your hand today!"

Hearing Locke say so rightly, all the young sappers forced themselves to laugh, but the overseer dared not speak out, because he still had not a silver coin.

"Give me work!" The overseer quickly changed the subject, "Don't give me a quick job, don't want to have food today!"

The sappers scattered, and Locke secretly shoved a silver coin to Kyle, and also walked to the sentry point.

This was seen by the keen overseer, who walked over to Kyle,

"I'll come to the camp at the foot of the city, understand!"

"Understood, Sir!" Kyle said, putting his right fist on his left chest.

"Cut!" the overseer sneered and turned to leave.

Kyle waits for the overseer to leave, and finds Feith, who is still sitting in the corner.

"Before you arrived, we all thought there were two royalties here. Faith quipped Kyle, "The first time I've seen an official with Valange, I'll explain the situation first." ”

"Tell me what?" Kyle was puzzled.

"Your work, your accommodation, everything on the Great Wall. Faith looked at Kyle, "So, you don't have to give him the silver coins, he'll do the same." ”

"Oh," Kyle didn't want to worry about that, "give him this, so he can be nice to you." After all, potatoes are not nutritious. ”

"Kyle..."

"Anyway, the chief is waiting below, I'll go first. ”

Since it wasn't time to deliver the food yet, Kyle came down from the Great Wall alone. He followed the route he had memorized by yesterday, and gradually walked into the small camp, still behind a tent, smoking from the cooking.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of conversation in front of him, and his tone seemed to be solemn. He subconsciously held his breath, slowed his steps, and slowly approached.

"Ryan has gone to Tambery..."

"What? Is he crazy? Why don't you stop him?"

"I tried, but he was determined. We all dreamed of that evil legend, and it was a bad omen!"

"Wess, do you think he'll be able to solve everything if he goes to Tambery?

"We don't have a choice, if it were me, we would do the same!"

"You're all stupid! Stupid people! What kind of man Andil is, don't you know in your hearts? Do you expect him to make Ryan back in Valanger?"

"Larry, I'm not here today to quarrel with you, we have to prepare for the worst..."

"You can do it yourself, old fool! I'm just an old immortal who cooks now!"

"Do you really want to see the fall of Valange and the destruction of the kingdom of Asnan?"

Kyle gradually heard that it was Councillor Whiss and Mr. Larry of Valanger, and they seemed to be angry inside, but they still kept their voices down and talked cautiously.

"What do you want me to do?" After a moment of silence, it was Mr. Larry who spoke.

"Protect Kyle and Locke. These are the words that Ryan told me to pass on to you before I left, please treat them as your students. ”

"I can't teach them anything anymore. ”

"No, you and Ryan are the last knights in the world! ”

Kyle immediately covered his mouth, trying to control the shock in his heart, he had no idea that the laughing rice cook yesterday was actually a knight!

"War is coming, Larry, we have no choice..."

"Whis..."

"Please protect Kyle and Locke. ”

Kyle crouches behind the tent and hears footsteps, presumably someone leaving.

He couldn't move, he couldn't even believe what his ears were hearing. Now he has a mess in his head.

"Oh, Kyle!" Mr. Larry suddenly stood next to him, startling him, "Why did you come so early today?"

Looking at Mr. Larry's still cheerful face, young Kyle couldn't hide his expression, his face looked unnatural.

"What's wrong with you?" Mr. Larry immediately saw through Kyle's heart, but still pretended not to know, "Why is your face not so good today?

"Oh, no," Kyle replied, stammering, "yes... The Overseer told me to come down and look for him... So... I...""I see, I thought you were hungry, come down early and find me something to eat, hahaha..."

"Mr. Larry... Do you see Lord Overseer?" Kyle asked.

"He's supposed to be sending someone away, and he'll be back soon. ”

Kyle knew exactly who the overseer was delivering.

"Oh... Then I'll wait for him here..."

"Kyle, since you're here, do me the old guy a favor, come on. Mr. Larry beckons Kyle and leads him to a tent full of potatoes.

"Can you help me peel these potatoes?"

"Mr. Larry," Kyle squatted down, holding the raw potato, puzzled, "they're cooked, and they're going to peel off, so why do you want to peel them now?"

"Because peeling calms your mind. Mr. Larry sat next to him and looked at Kyle meaningfully, "When you are unsettled, it is a good way to find something to do in your hands." ”

Teacher Larry picked up a potato and peeled it with a knife.

"In the beginning, a palm-sized potato would be sliced to the size of my thumb, which showed that I was very uneasy. But then I slowly learned to calm down and realized that peeling is also a technical job. ”

Kyle watched as Mr. Larry peeled the skin of the potato as thin as a young leaf, and tried it himself, but it was like cutting potato chips.

"Teacher Larry, you're a knight, aren't you?" Kyle asked bluntly.

"Looks like you've heard it all—" Mr. Larry didn't have any look of surprise on his face, all of this was something he had expected, "I used to be a knight, but now, I'm just an old man, cooking for the kids. ”

"You, Commander Ryan, and Councilor Whisker, are all knights in golden armor, aren't they?"

Mr. Larry sighed, set the peeled potatoes aside, and continued to pick up the other.

He remains silent, much to Kyle's inner turmoil.

"It's all in the past, although I don't want to mention it again, but it's already burned into our hearts, and we can't erase it at all..."

Mr. Larry finally spoke, and Kyle had a hunch that he was about to tell the story of a generation.
