(Seeing that so many people suddenly appeared to support the book, the Screamer was very moved, so JJ, who was just about to chop it off, grew again.) ）

Celtic, Dunlun City.

Defended by the towers of the city, with a population of less than 1,000 people, deep grass everywhere, abandoned houses everywhere, and the occasional critter of small animals.

In fact, the city of Dunlun was called a city rather than a village only because Arei was going to set up the Doge's palace here. In practical terms, Dunlun is just a port and bazaar with a few hundred merchants...... Gathering place.

The city's landmark is a tall windmill facing the sea, which was originally used by merchants to mill grain, but has now been requisitioned by the Governor's Palace as a temporary office.

Because Celtic is surrounded by the sea and the city is closest to the sea, there is abundant rain throughout the year, so the roof of the windmill is extremely steep, and there are channels to divert water from the eaves. Because of the structure, the roof has an attic with pointed arched windows, from which new green vines hang down against the brownish-red tiles.

At present, Bruno, the chief of the guard, who is only one person, likes the unique environment of the quiet and lonely here, so he has been living here alone.

At the top of the windmill, Yalei sat behind the ridge of the bulging roof, his eyes slightly closed, and a layer of floating black light curtain floated on the surface of his body, gradually solidifying in the ripples spread in the circle, forming a regular octagonal translucent crystal wall.

At the moment when the crystal wall was completely stable, a furious black flame burst out of the body, easily shattering the slightly solidified light curtain into pieces. The black-haired knight opened his eyes at the same time. When he opened his mouth, he spewed out a mouthful of scorching vaporized blood mist.

Failed again......

Aree stared at the blood mist that gradually melted away from his eyes. Then he spat out a mouthful of residual blood foam, stood up from the tiles he was sitting on, maintained an even breathing, and tried his best to repair the wound with the vigorous vitality flowing from his heart.

"Failed again?"

With a familiar sound, the right skylight was pushed open with a clatter, and Bruno jumped to the top of the windmill with a bottle of rum in his hand.

In order to avoid affecting the recovery of the injury, the black-haired knight deliberately suppressed his voice and replied, "After all, the Tudor family's lineage is the top fighting spirit. And without the cooperation of war paints, of course, it is not so easy to succeed. ”

"It's not that complicated, it's just that the two fighting spirits can't be compatible, I really can't understand your thinking, and I actually want to have two sets of fighting qi at the same time...... If this kind of thing were to be done by another Origin Knight, I'm afraid it would have blown itself up. ”

The silver-haired young man sat on his lap, raised his chin slightly, looked at the sea with waves in the distance, and said lightly:

"Even if it's to study the path of etherization, I don't have to work so hard. ”

"That's ...... for me It's a mission. ”

Yalei stood beside him. His gaze shifted to his upwardly grasping hands, and he said calmly, "Even if you can't complete your true body." I must also study the complete theory of the ether and become the second perfect body, which is ......"

"This is the treasure that General Casper left you, right? ”

Bruno uncorked the bottle with his thin fingernails, looked at the huts below, took a sip of wine, and exhaled a rich aroma of wine:

"It's impossible to have two fighting spirits at the same time with one body, you're trying in the wrong direction. ”

"That's ...... true"

The black-haired knight slowly lowered his hands, his gaze also cast on the sea in the distance, and said with a sigh: "If you want to continue to go deep into the etherization, you must at least master the full nature of the fighting qi." ”

He still remembered Casper's methods of manipulating the forces of nature, and he could conclude that if he wanted to control them, he would have to try to exchange his fighting spirit for the forces of nature.

And the basis for mastering the power of nature must be to master the changes in the nature of the fighting spirit, and the premise of all this is to understand the full nature of the fire of life.

"Don't be stupid......"

The silver-haired boy put the wine bottle on a slightly flat tile, shook his head, and counted it with his fingers:

"The power of ice, the power of light, the power of darkness, the power of fire, the power of earth, the power of mountains, the power of wind, the power of electricity...... There are eight types of Dou Qi in total, and you can't even be compatible with the two, but you want to master all the Dou Qi Nature. ”

"It doesn't have to be compatible. ”

Yalei interrupted his friend's words, his gaze cast to the wider sky, and his expression revealed a hint of resolute coldness: "Learning the eight fighting qi from scratch can also grasp the full nature of the fire of life. ”

Bruno instantly turned his gaze to him and asked with a surprised face, "What do you mean...... Do you want to abolish the steel fighting gas?"

After a long pause, Yalei asked rhetorically, "Is there any other way?"

"Okay...... I know I can't convince you. ”

The silver-haired boy simply picked up the rum, raised his neck and took another sip, and continued:

"It's not easy to learn a vindictiveness that is different from your own nature...... And...... I'm afraid it will have an impact on lifespan. ”

Yalei sat down again along the slope of the roof, and the light in his eyes flickered: "...... There is no need to worry, there will be no limit to the lifespan of the body after the body is forged into a perfect body. ”

"Are you so sure you're going to make it?" Bruno looked at him with puzzlement, and raised the bottle and shook it, "Would you like to drink a little?"

"No, thank you. The black-haired knight declined the other party's kindness, and muttered to himself:

"If I could be sure, would I have put it off until now? But whether it succeeds or not, I have to give it a try...... If I can't do it, then who else can you expect to succeed?"

"Yes, too...... After all, you are a person with an immortal body, and you will definitely succeed!" The silver-haired young man showed a relaxed smile, like a hundred flowers blooming, instantly dissolving the haze that shrouded the hearts of the two.

"Now is not the time to think about it!"

Yalei leaned his back against the ridge, put his right hand on his bent knee, and said with a sparkle of eyes:

"Starting tomorrow. I will officially become the true governor of Celts. Rule the land as a commander-in-chief. And the entire Highland Kingdom. It will be the first opponent I will face, a full-scale military confrontation. ”

"Honestly...... I think it's great that we've been able to hold on for 10 years. Bruno, though not a pessimist, couldn't help but pour cold water on him.

"The Highland Kingdom is not as strong as you think, didn't Pulit introduce us to it?"

The black-haired knight reached out and hooked his shoulder, and smiled confidently: "As long as my ideal military reform is completed, then the remnants of that group of barbarians are nothing more than a group of fat pigs to be slaughtered." ”

"Really?" the silver-haired boy looked at him in disagreement.

"Really!" Areh gave him a positive look.

"Even if you say that, I ......" Bruno looked at his confident expression, and the second half of the sentence was suddenly speechless. I simply poured a sip of rum on my own.

"What did I lie to you? ”

Seeing that he still didn't believe it, the black-haired knight could only explain with all his strength:

"Although the Highland Kingdom has a size of more than 10 million people and a unique power system, its weaknesses are also obvious. I'll tell you one by one. First, the current king of the Highlands is not rightly enthroned, second, they are isolated from the mainstream power system, and third, the conservative forces are strong, even with the aid of the Free Alliance. They will also not be able to form a complete conscription system in a short period of time. ”

"With the exception of article 3...... I don't see it as a weakness......"

The silver-haired boy lowered his head a little in confusion, whether he had been too relaxed recently. How can I not keep up with the other party's way of thinking at all?

"Let's explain it from the ratio of warriors, because of the relationship between national nature, living environment, and nutrition, the ratio of warriors in Rosevia is thirty to one. But the Highlands are different, they have their own rune system, and the warriors who use rune spells have an absolute advantage in the highland kingdom, but it is only a hundred to one numbers. In other words, they had a theoretical possession of 150,000 rune warriors, and the king ruled over this group of warriors with all the fiefdom system. ”

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Yalei's face as he said this, and he continued:

This means that even if the Liberal Alliance comes to its aid, their main army will not be able to carry out any real military innovation. Because there is an essential difference between rune spells and mainstream spells, even if they send them magic guides, these people can't use them. Just imagine, what's the use of learning the Liberal Alliance's tactical system if even the weapons are very different things. ”

"I see...... Bruno nodded convincingly, and then quickly asked, "Aren't there still quite a few fighters in their country who ignite their fighting spirit?"

"Yes, even if we were only half as many as the Rune warriors, we would face between seven and eighty thousand mainstream warriors, a real opponent who could fit into the modern combat system. ”

"They have seven to eighty thousand...... Theoretically, we're only six thousand at most......" The confidence that the silver-haired boy had just mustered quickly dried up like a leaky balloon.

"Impossible!"

The black-haired knight immediately waved his hand and said conclusively:

"The king of the highlands himself is a traitor who usurps the throne and has an improper country, so he must make more compromises with the traditional conservative forces, and the feudal landlords such as the Lune warriors are the representatives of the conservative forces. As long as the Highland Kingdom wants to form a modern army, then they must touch the interests of the Rune warriors and transfer them to the mainstream warriors. And now that there is such a huge disparity between the forces of the enemy and the enemy on the surface, do you think those arrogant warriors of Lune will be willing to cut their flesh?"

"No!" Bruno shook his head firmly, and said in a strengthened tone:

"I wouldn't have done that. ”

"Then the king has very few resources at his disposal, and even if the Freedom Alliance provides 70,000 people with equipment, they will not be able to take out 70,000 pieces of money to train a new army, because the royal family must support the feudal army that represents the traditional forces, and it cannot do without the support of the traditional forces. ”

"So...... How many new troops can they form?" At this moment, the silver-haired boy's confidence had begun to rise.

"Even if the Highland royal family smashes the pot and sells iron, it is not as rich as I am now, but it is not ruled out that the Free Alliance will blead to them. "That's the only thing Yare is worried about at the moment, but it shouldn't be very likely.

"What do you mean...... Won't there be more than six thousand?" Bruno's eyes flashed, the previous decline had been swept away, and now he had a completely confident expression.

"Surely more than that! After all, they have plenty of troops. But once the performance comes up with 20,000 words. It is already at the level of the royal pawn. ”

Yalei saw that the other party had been completely convinced. I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, if even his closest confidant could not be convinced, then the Celtic governor had already lost half of the war against the king of the heights.

But fortunately, since the fundraising, his level of has risen a lot, and Bruno is a very smart young man, who has been blinded by himself.

How can it be so simple......

The Celtic regular army and reserves combined were only 6,000, and the other side had 20,000 regular troops alone. The reserve is nearly four times the size of the regular army. Moreover, although the Gallic warriors are a little worse than the army of the mainstream system, they have not reached the level of generation difference, and a pig charge of 150,000 people may be able to bulldoze the Celts.

Moreover, the size of the Highland kingdom was placed there, and if a decisive defeat was not given, one or two defeats would not hurt at all, but would rather promote their determination to reform further.

The black-haired knight knew very well in his heart that his only chance of victory was to complete the military reform of the combat system of the Highland Kingdom...... And the power of those demons. is an integral part of this plan.

Only by destroying the living forces of the Highland Kingdom at once can it be regarded as a victory in the true sense!

......

Glamorgan. Earl's Court.

"Yalei!"

Charlene rushed into the office with a thick stack of planning books, rushed to the desk in a hurry, and put the manuscript in front of him:

"Look, this is the equipment technology we got from the military, a combat uniform with excellent performance, and if the research and development and transformation are completed, it will definitely bring huge profits when it is put on the market. ”

"Combat suits...... Very good...... Then start researching as soon as possible. The black-haired knight was concentrating on writing the Celtic military reform plan, and said somewhat absent-mindedly.

The green-haired girl rolled her eyes and whispered in his ear:

"So, do you agree to start researching production pulls? Once this plan starts, it will cost a lot of money!"

"If you feel like you have the chance, do your best, I fully support you...... As for the Sound Nest thing...... In the future, I will give you full authority, if you want to sign or something, just come to me directly. ”

Yalei stared at the paper in front of him and said intently.

"Okay, you sign it, press the chapter. A hint of nervousness appeared on Charlene's face, pursed her thin lips, and handed the last page of the manuscript to the other party.

"Wait a minute. ”

The black-haired knight quickly finished the last line, then took the page and signed his name in the lower right corner, then turned his gaze back to the note:

"My seal is in the cabinet on the left, you can take it and cover it yourself. ”

"Okay. ”

The green-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the back of the desk, and took out Yalei's seal...... and the Great Seal of the Celtic Governor, who quickly covered the other party's perspective with his body, and imprinted two red seals on the manuscript.

"Charlene!"

The lover's sudden voice made her body tremble suddenly, turned her head stiffly, squeezed out a smile and said:

"What's wrong?"

"Before you know it, you've grown taller, and your legs have grown a lot!" the black-haired knight couldn't help but admire, staring at the green-haired girl's slender legs wrapped in white silk.

"Do the right thing! Don't look at it!" Charlene glanced at him angrily, took the opportunity to stretch out her slender hand to cover the other party's eyes, and quietly put the Governor's Seal back in its place.

"It's already miserable to only hold hands, and you're not allowed to look at ......" Yalei wailed in pain, grabbed her wrist and kissed the back of her hand:

"I was away for so long a while ago, what were you busy with?"

"I'll talk about it later, I don't have time for the time being. Charlene took the opportunity to withdraw her right hand, spit out the tip of her tongue at him playfully, and disappeared into the office in an instant with a thick stack of manuscripts.

“......”

The black-haired knight watched her disappear place, smiled knowingly, and continued to devote his mind to the first draft of the military reform.

......

Soundnest Training Base, Central Laboratory.

With a crisp bell, the lifting platform slowly descended to the lowest level, and the two alloy heavy doors popped open, and Charlene, wearing a gray uniform, appeared at the end of the passage.

"Miss Charlene!"

After seeing her appear in the laboratory, an expert in the same uniform immediately greeted her, and asked with a twinkle in his eyes:

"The thing...... Did it work?"

"yes...... Succeeded again......"

The green-haired girl's expression was a little dazed, and she glanced around at the laboratory full of instruments, and a trace of amazement and firmness appeared on her smooth face:

"I gambled on the future...... This plan is going to be done no matter what!"

"Of course. The other party showed a happy expression, and said quickly:

"As long as we pass the approval of the magic stone extraction, we have the legal identity and can make unlimited use of the magic stone buried deep here, and your plan will be carried out smoothly and successfully. ”

Charlene lowered her gaze, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and muttered, "I don't know...... How to mention this to him in the future. ”

"You and that lord will get married sooner or later, and of course yours will have a share of the wealth here, so there is no need to think about so many useless things. ”

As he spoke, he took the manuscript from the green-haired girl's hand, quickly turned to the last page, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "In this way, we will no longer have to worry about the future." ”

“......”

Looking at the other party's happy expression, Charlene was angry for no reason, and instantly took the manuscript back into her hand, with a little anger on her pretty face, and said:

"The original plan remains the same, but the combat suit must also be developed as soon as possible, he is not a confused person, do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course, we understand your concerns. ”

The other party showed a faint smile and immediately stroked his chest and retreated. (To be continued......)
