Early in the morning of August 5th, Chang Le walked out of the small building with a serious face, found Captain Elton, and asked him to rush to Kassel City to bring the blacksmith Chiyan to discuss important matters.

Surprised, Elton explained that the Empire was busy preparing for war, and that all the craftsmen had been requisitioned to make weapons and armor, guarded by soldiers, and could not bring anyone over.

Chang Le was too lazy to be verbose, so he directly took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to Elton.

Elton frowned at first, and then suddenly realized that this gold coin was obviously not a reward for him, but was used to bribe the officers guarding it, after all, the blacksmith is not a criminal, and with these gold coins, it is not a big problem to temporarily leave his post.

Before the captain left, Chang Le also specially told the blacksmith to bring "that important thing".

Elton also did not ask "which thing", since Chang Le said this, the blacksmith must be able to understand, he was only responsible for bringing the words, so he silently saluted and took the order.

Chang Le admired Amy's captain of the guard more and more, although he said very little, he was strong and his head was good, and he might be able to come in handy in the future.

Then he went back to his room for breakfast.

Tony and Nozomi have finished eating, and the two little ones are running around the house, chasing and frolicking.

Since Tony followed his mother to the camp, he has not been accompanied by his peers for a long time, so he can only practice obediently with his teacher every day like a little adult, and Xiaoxi's appearance makes him overjoyed.

As for Xiao Xi, when he was still a "little white" in the past, he liked to chase all moving objects, and he was agile and invincible.

But now she is no longer a cat, and she does not have a good grasp of the transformed humanoid body, and it is inevitable that she will stumble when she walks upright, and playing with Tony is also a good exercise.

Fortunately, after Chang Le's strong reminder, Xiaoxi remembered not to casually incarnate as a light smoke and maintained the image of a normal human girl.

The material in which she builds her body is extremely peculiar, and she can freely transform between tangible and invisible, but she is no different from ordinary flesh and blood at ordinary times, plus her small face is pretty and cute, and her personality is cute and innocent.

After a few days of happily playing with Tony, Nozomi's speaking skills have improved rapidly, and she has begun to organize simple short sentences instead of jumping out one word at a time.

And Xiaoxi's growth rate, despite Anita's preview, is still beyond Chang Le's expectations.

In just a few days, she seems to have grown a year older, from being significantly smaller than Tony, to being the same age as her, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Tony can no longer call her "Sister Xiaoxi", but will be called "Sister" instead.

These strangeness is not difficult for outsiders to notice, so Chang Le will never let her go out unless necessary, in case the truth of the bloodline of the "Superior Great Demon Venerable" is exposed, God knows what kind of super strong person will be attracted to chase and kill.

So Nozomi can only frolic with Tony in the house.

However, when the time came, Tony had to go to practice, and the little girl had no playmates, so she pouted and came to Chang Le to sit down, lay down in his arms, and did not move.

Amy sat across from her and smiled:

"She thinks you're a father, but why don't you recognize me as a mother?"

Because Chang Le was tight-lipped, she didn't know that Xiaoxi was Chang Le's pet, and she was still equivalent to a humanoid kitten, and her habit of attachment and intimacy had not changed.

And Amy's words are obviously useful, on the one hand, she does love Xiaoxi more and more, and on the other hand, she is also reminding Chang Le that the relationship between the two is equivalent to husband and wife, and she has hinted euphemistically many times that since Chang Le has no other woman now, should she consider marrying her.

Chang Le is only eighteen years old, has never been married, and has an unforgettable love for Fanny in his heart, so naturally he will not marry a twenty-six-year-old widow with children.

However, he already had a sense of responsibility similar to that of her husband to Amy, so after pondering for a while, he said seriously:

"I just received the news that early this morning, the war has broken out, this camp is relatively safe, you have any relatives who can't rest assured, you can take it. Your relatives are my relatives. ”

"The war has begun?" Amy was startled, "Aren't there still negotiations?

How the news was obtained, Chang Le is still difficult to explain, and it is better to hide this kind of thing from Amy for soul servants and mind transmission.

The war in Western Xinjiang was expected, and the camp business has been much lighter in recent days.

Although the war between countries has little to do with adventurers, and the Devil's Forest is far away from the war zone, the lord's conscription order requires each household to produce a soldier, and some adventurers with good strength would rather go to the army themselves than let their brothers die.

For example, "Iron Fist Louie", who once challenged Changle for Amy, has already returned home.

This guy loves his family so much, which makes Chang Le have a good impression of him.

Louis also said goodbye to Chang Le before leaving, after all, Chang Le's strength had already convinced him, and the latter's identity as a magician was also highly respected.

"Take care, you haven't married a wife yet, you can't die. Chang Le smiled and waved at him.

"If I hadn't had an idea for Amy, I would have married a long time ago, and there are quite a few women who like me!" Louis laughed, he was actually only in his twenties, not as old as he looked, "Mr. Mage, you also take care, when the war is over, let's take risks as a team, you are the captain!"

"Yes, I'll wait for you!"

Louis was gone, and more than a dozen others had left, and the camp had half as many adventurers as it had been at the height of business.

So the war was expected for a long time, but its outbreak was still a bit sudden.

Because Chang Le had long heard that the three kingdoms of the enemy "Starr Alliance" did not have the same ideas, some were determined to grab benefits on the battlefield, and some wanted to strive for concessions at the negotiating table, and none of them was an opponent of the empire alone.

It is probably because the empire is confident and strong, and its attitude is too tough, so that the other party has no other choice.

Changle's Red Hill camp is less than 400 kilometers away from the front line, and scouts are sent out every day to inquire about various news, the original intention is to prevent Marquis Philip from coming to "suppress bandits", in fact, the nobles don't care about him as a little "bandit" now, and the focus is on the upcoming war.

The enemy began to invade last night, and the direction chosen was completely unexpected by the Empire, and the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, Duke Stennis, was in a state of confusion to adjust his deployment.

These situations were taken away by the defeated soldiers or refugees, and soon after the sun rose, they were discovered by the blue moon, and immediately sent a message to Chang Le.

The name of the declaration of war is related to what right to inherit the throne, the specific reason Chang Le does not care, these victories and defeats have nothing to do with him, he is just a "robber", no matter who rules this land, he is his enemy.

But since the war has broken out, if the empire is not in a good position, and the enemy army is killed in the territory and runs over his small base, or if the empire wins, and the master comes to raid his lair when he triumphs, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, he must settle the affairs of this place as soon as possible and rush back to his subordinates.

Until then, the meeting with Uncle Blacksmith could not be postponed any longer.

In the afternoon, at last a wagon rushed into the camp and the blacksmith came!

The uncle is still the same, although he has divided a lot of money from the weapons business, he is still bearded and tattered.

He got out of the car with a box, and didn't let others help, he personally carried the heavy goods to Chang Le, slammed it on the ground, and then slapped him the shoulder:

"Little one, grow taller!"

Chang Le smiled and punched back in the uncle's chest, and looked down at the big wooden box:

"That's the one?"

The blacksmith nodded:

"Are you ready?"

"Hmm!"

A few strange conversations that left Amy, Elton and the others scratching their heads.

But neither of them explained, and the wooden box was lifted by Chang Le, who went straight into the living room of the main building, and asked others to avoid it for the time being.

Amy went into the house and hugged Shirley out, and beckoned Xiaoxi to go with her, but Changle said "It's okay for Xiaoxi to stay".

The widow pouted:

"Anything mysterious, Xiaoxi can know, but he wants to hide it from me!"

Amy's complaint is very reasonable, and her importance to Chang Le is unmatched by no one for the time being.

Although this woman is powerless, beauty and wisdom coexist, strong and gentle, for Chang Le is not only a wonderful companion in bed, but also an excellent helper in his career, of course, worthy of more trust.

Chang Le looked at Amy, and suddenly tenderness swelled in his heart, walked over and kissed her on the lips, and then lowered his head to kiss Shirley on the face, and smiled:

"Tony is older, Shirley is different, wait for her to learn to speak, let her call me Daddy. ”

Although this is still far from the marriage commitment, it is already great news for Amy, and she said with tears in her eyes:

"Thank you, dear!"

Then he hugged Shirley and induced her to call Chang Le "Dad".

Shirley loved to laugh very much, and at this time she also "giggled", shouted a few times "Pa, Pa", and reached out to grab Chang Le's nose.

Chang Le pinched the little hand and kissed it, he really felt a little fatherly love, and the family of three was intimate for a while, and then he comforted Amy:

"I don't have the slightest distrust of you, and there are things that I hide from you for your own good. ”

Amy didn't complain at all, and went out happily with her daughter in her arms.

And in this process, the blacksmith always looked at the two of them in amazement, until Chang Le turned around and came back, he exclaimed:

"You ...... You two got it together?"

Chang Le squatted down with a smile, and while opening the wooden box, he casually explained:

"This woman is very smart and has helped me a lot. Why, do you like her too?"

"No, how can a widow be worthy of you? Not to mention that with her mortal physique, with you, she can't give birth to a child!"

"What if she can't give birth? She already has two children. ”

After Chang Le finished saying the last sentence, he stopped speaking, took out the beautifully decorated black armor with a silver background from the box, and put them on one by one.

Blacksmith Chiyan looked at Chang Le's new image, his expression gradually became solemn, and even his body trembled a little.

And Chang Le carefully wore a full set of armor, and a strange warm current hit his body, it seems that it is not only a ceremonial symbol of power, not only represents the identity of the leader of the Dark Knights, but also hides unknown power.

He took two steps back with the sound of metal crashing, drew his sword, and stood in both hands, looking at his form from the reflection of the blade, and then turned his gaze to Red Flame.

The latter was already in tears:

"By accepting the Dark Knight suit, you are accepting a thousand-year mission!

Chang Le was silent for a moment, and replied in a deep voice:

"Break the seal, usher in the Demon King, and smash the so-called bright world!"

"What did you promise to fight for?"

"I promise!"

When the blacksmith heard this, he knelt down on one knee:

"Red Flame follows you with her life and will never betray!"

"In the Knights, I have a new name, Furywind!"

"Yes, Furywind!"

"Now tell me, where are the surviving organizations and centaurs of the Order?"
