Earl's Court, study.

Aree and Pompey sat facing each other.

In front of the two of them was a large sand table, with Hadrian's Wall as the boundary, simulating the terrain and fortress distribution of the entire Celtics, with the Highland Kingdom and the Celtic Doge's Palace on the left and right.

Pompey was dressed in white sackcloth, with a calm expression and a hint of a smile, manipulating the legion model of the Highland Kingdom in the sand table, and defending the Highland Kingdom as impregnable.

Yalei was dressed in a black training uniform, with a wide open neckline, revealing a triangular depression between his collarbones, and his legion had already lost most of it, but he had only gnawed off half of the opponent's defense.

In the afternoon, the pale golden sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on the edge of the white sand table, reflecting a faint white light.

“......”

The black-haired knight pinched the last legion in his hand, glanced at his own division, and finally threw the legion out of the sand table - this means to abandon the game.

"If there were someone like you in the Highlands, I would have to rely on Hadrian's Wall to barely hold the southern Celts. Areh retracted his corps model and dropped it one by one at several important checkpoints near Hadrian's Wall.

"With the Governor's current strength, as long as you don't take any risks, you will have no problem holding half of Celtic. Pompey said calmly as he moved his legion representing the Highland Kingdom back to its original position.

In the sand table deduction just now, he didn't have any strength at all, not only did he stay strong, but if he was a little slack, he would be completely swallowed by the other party.

The governor's ability to govern can only be said to be remarkable, and the financial side has done all the ridiculous things to kill the chicken and take the eggs, but once he commands the army. It's like a different person. Thinking is incredibly fast. Get ahead of the curve everywhere.

Several times he was deceived out of the fortress by him, and was almost outflanked by ambushes who pretended to attack on both sides, if he didn't know his character in advance, and did a thorough defense around the highland defense line, only defending but not attacking, it is estimated that he would be very embarrassed.

"As the Governor told me earlier, you have cut off an important trade route within the Highland Kingdom, and sooner or later it will be in turmoil due to financial problems. ”

Pompey picked up a porcelain cup on the coffee table on the right. Took a sip of tea.

"What does the military advisor think, just say ......" Yalei glanced at the sand table again, and said a little depressed.

"If there is a financial problem, then there is a real possibility that they will start a war to divert tensions in the country, which is why you have concluded that they will take the initiative to attack. ”

The old man gently put down the porcelain cup and said lightly:

"But I always feel that this condition alone should not be enough for the Highland Kingdom to do it. ”

This is his judgment based on future trends, and the timeline is pushed back about half a year. Black Hawk designed to lure the Highland Kingdom into attacking, but the details are unknown. However, it was a real three big wins in a row, and finally attacked the northern Celtic hinterland, only to be defeated.

"That's not enough. ”

The black-haired knight tugged at his neckline and glanced at the ghost maid on the side, who immediately obediently pushed out of the office.

"What if I do a military exercise on the border of the Great Wall to attack the Highland Kingdom? If it is not enough, slaughter Celtic spy captives in batches on the border of the Great Wall. ”

When Ya Lei said this, his black pupils suddenly shrank into a sharp point, and he said coldly:

"And if that's not enough, I can also send out the news of the request for the Empire's direct jurisdiction, don't they want to restore the Great Celts, once the Empire is under direct jurisdiction, their dreams are on the verge of being shattered. ”

"It's a good idea. ”

Pompey stroked his long beard and slightly bowed, even he couldn't think of a better way, the other party's three moves were indeed stabbing at the sore spot of the Highland Kingdom.

The financial crisis will inevitably lead to a decline in the prestige of the kingdom, and if the provocations of the enemy are ignored at this time, it will be regarded as weakness, and the rule of the Fannon family by usurpation will be shaken. If there is news that Rosevia is directly under Celtic at this time, they just don't want to fight, because if they don't fight, it means that the Celts will hardly be able to rule the whole of Celt again.

This will fight and can also take advantage of the momentum of the Freedom Alliance, and it is fortunate that it will not be annexed when it is too late.

As for looking forward to the end of the Cold War...... The whole world knows that if Rosevia cannot be suppressed in the past twenty years, then the cold war will eventually turn into a hot war, and the highland kingdom without the southern Celts is still a dead end.

"The matter of the ploughing of the guards, I also hope that the military division will speed up the demarcation, and we can't miss this spring planting. The black-haired knight stared at the large plains of southern Celtic in the sandbox, and his brow tightened nervously.

"Naturally, I gave it my all. ”

Pompey knew that this was a polite eviction order, so he stood up and strode out of the office.

......

Soundnest base.

Charlene walked into the side hall on the left side of the base hall with a small suitcase and came to a small council chamber.

The door of the small white room was open to the outside, and inside sat a young man with white hair and a saggy, tall and dark-skinned, and far more vigorous than ordinary humans.

Seeing the green-haired girl come in, the young man suddenly got up, and a trace of nervousness appeared on his face:

"Miss Charlene, I'm Gao. ”

"I know you, you're the lucky one who survived the side effects of the potions. ”

Charlene walked over and sat down opposite the young man, and pushed the suitcase in front of the other party: "Sit down, actually...... It's not so much that the sound nest saved your life, but that your constitution and the enhancement potion are perfectly matched. ”

Between the two of them was a low-legged coffee table, on which were two cups of hot black tea with steam, and a faint aroma of black tea wafted from the small meeting room.

"Yes. ”

The white-haired young man replied respectfully, then sat back in his place, and said with a grateful face:

"If it weren't for the boosters, I'd be dead from muscular dystrophy by now, it was Miss Charlene and the Sound Nest who saved my life, and I will repay you with the rest of my life. ”

This man was originally an ordinary warrior in Rosevia, who had suffered from muscular dystrophy since childhood, and in order to curb the disease, he worked hard to exercise and rely on this desperate belief. He actually ignited his fighting spirit......

However, the level of vindictiveness also stopped at the second order. due to the erosion of the disease. There is even a tendency to go backwards.

Just when this man was looking for a doctor in vain and desperate to die, a mysterious organization found him and carried out some kind of transformation experiment on him in the name of experimenting with new drugs.

In fact, from the very beginning, Soros and other ill-intentioned transformation experts only regarded him as a dead man or experimental material. With the attitude of giving it a try, he used the most powerful enhancer on him......

As a result, everyone was shocked, this person actually survived the strengthening period without any sequelae, not only cured muscular dystrophy, but also greatly improved his combat effectiveness, obviously a second-order warrior, but his life intensity was already close to a quasi-natural disaster level warrior.

So, Charlene, who got the news, was overjoyed and couldn't wait to meet this lucky person.

"Repay......"

The green-haired girl held her cheeks with one hand and squinted at each other. chuckled:

"I do have plans to hire you, as you can see. The Sound Nest base is a large cross-domain organization, so we need a security team of our own, are you willing to be the leader of this team? This is a senior cadre directly under me in the Sound Nest, and the future is absolutely limitless. ”

"Yes, I will desperately repay your kindness and protect the base of the sound nest!" the white-haired young man shouted excitedly.

"Good. ”

Charlene picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea, then put down the cup, looked at the suitcase she brought, and said: "Since you are willing, then from now on, your code name in the organization is zero, and you only need to obey me alone." ”

"Yes. Gao replied respectfully.

"Now I want you to do something for me, and it's my test for you. ”

The green-haired girl looked at each other with a smile:

"In the eastern part of the Balkans, there used to be an ancient kingdom called Wallachia, whose monarch was called Vlad III, the progenitor of the legendary vampires. ”

"Do you mean...... Is this legend true?" Gao and Zero, the number one thug of the Future Sound Nest organization, grew his mouth in surprise.

Charlene nodded her head undeniably and continued:

"The organization has acquired the corpse of a vampire, and if it can solve the mysteries of their body, it will be possible to develop the next generation of enhancers. Therefore, I need you to go to Vlad III's tomb for me and try to find his body. ”

"I see!"

Gao nodded excitedly, his expression froze, and he said a little embarrassed: "But...... How do I go to Wallachia to find Vlad III's tomb?"

"You don't need to worry about this, there is a professional team to do it, and your job is to keep them safe. ”

The green-haired girl raised her white index finger and pointed at the small suitcase in front of him: "Here are the weapons and equipment you need, as well as a sum of money to cover the cost of the trip." ”

"I'm going to go. Gao stood up briskly.

......

At night, the bright full moon shrouded the whole of the Earl's Court, and the fence surrounding the courtyard stood motionless in the darkness.

When Aree returns home from the new barracks in the Nightmare Ruins, he sees Charlene sleeping alone on the couch, curled up like a little flower cat.

Green hair spread out on the cushioned side, and his thighs were tightly clamped between his hands like boys. I don't know if it's because she is depressed, she unbuttoned her shirt, as well as the back button of **, her ass was cocked hard, and half of her inner part was exposed.

"Falling asleep so early?"

He walked over to the couch and poked Charlene's jaw with his finger, and the green-haired girl, who was still asleep, let out a faint moan, but she didn't wake up immediately.

I slept so badly.

Yalei pinched her face, then turned and walked to the bathroom, just took a step, and instantly turned around in front of Charlene with a serious face, and pulled the girl's eyelids.

Wrong!

......

Steel castle suspended in the sky...... A heavy metal door with roller shutters...... The door opened, and then ...... Charlene woke up suddenly.

"Bell! bell!"

When she woke up, she faintly heard the wall clock on the wall ringing three times.

"Hmm...... Three...... Damn ......" rolled over and grunted in a daze, she buried her face in the fluffy pillow and went back to sleep.

What did I just dream about? It seems to be a very important thing.

Half-asleep and half-awake, my mind was fixed on the last shot of the dream - a heavy metal door, what was behind the door......? Vaguely, she wanted to fall asleep again.

"Click, click, click......" Suddenly, Charlene heard soft footsteps coming from the stairs, very regular, knocking in the silence of the night.

Her eyes widened in the darkness - who was it so late?

The green-haired girl opened her eyes and wanted to light the candlestick at the bedside with her fighting spirit, but her hand stopped again, and her expression gradually froze.

It's true that I've always lived alone, why, there is always a feeling of emptiness in my heart, as if there is an important fault in my memory.

Click, click, click...... The sound of that gentle footstep never stopped, still ringing, never seeming to stop.

Charlene wanted to get up and push the door open to see who was approaching her, but there seemed to be an inexplicable force preventing her from doing so, making her unable to open the door at all.

Time seemed to freeze, but the voice still didn't stop.

How many steps are there in the stairs of her own house, the green-haired girl tightened her eyebrows, and suddenly, cold sweat broke out, and her palms were cold-she couldn't remember.

Charlene opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes widening and trying to see the outline around her, but there was only a blurry afterimage.

Click, click, click...... The voice that gradually climbed the stairs still sounded in the night, one by one, but it seemed to be slowly approaching, but it was never able to approach the door of the room.

Sitting in the dark night, the green-haired girl unconsciously felt a strong sleepiness again, she tried her best to get rid of this powerless dilemma, but her body involuntarily slowly slid down, and gradually planted into the futon.

Damn, damn it...... Who is it? What have I forgotten?

Charlene struggled, but she couldn't stop the intense sleepiness. Before falling back asleep, in a blur, she suddenly heard a sigh coming from outside the door.

Steel castle suspended in the sky...... A heavy metal door with roller shutters...... The door opened...... Black comet falling from flames......

"Charlene!"

A burst of anxious voices came into her ears, the green-haired girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she gradually opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eyes was the handsome face of her lover.

"What's wrong? I'm sleeping soundly?" said Charlene, rubbing her eyes.

"It's not good at all! you've been yelling in your dreams that someone is going to kill you, and that you're going to drag them to hell with you!" Arley clutched her cheek and yelled angrily.

"Yes, why can't I remember?"

The green-haired girl tilted her neck in thought, but her head was empty and she couldn't think of anything.

Suddenly, Charlene felt two lines of cold liquid slip down her face, and her eyes were moist to the touch, and then she realized that she had been crying tears. (To be continued.) )
