Chapter 18: Meeting the Lion City

It's not about yourself, it's about yourself.

This sentence is most appropriate for Mo Ye and Takashi in the past 10 days. A year and a half after Takashi retired, Mo Ye also submitted his resignation to the Federal Border Guards in the northern part of the empire, officially becoming one of the heads of the Ice Fortress Headquarters of the small mercenary group.

The headquarters of the small mercenary group was moved to Xilin Island, and most of the mercenaries over the age of 14 were transferred to Xilin, leaving only more than 200 young mercenaries under the age of 14 in the Ice Fortress branch. According to the prior agreement, in the autumn, Long led more than 30 little mercenaries who had just turned 14 years old to Xilin Island to join the headquarters, and Mo Ye was tired of staying in the frozen continent, so he walked with Long.

Five days ago, the team of the small mercenary group was intercepted by the roadblocks set up by the second-line corps that arrived one after another on the Sanggan River mainland road.

Knowing that the empire itself was under attack, the empire's huge war machine began to operate in the shortest possible time. In just four hours, the Imperial Headquarters issued a notice of entering a state of war to all military units at the brigade level from the Imperial Headquarters in various ways. In order to avoid attacks on the hinterland of the empire, orders were issued to the three major war zones directly involved in the battle, such as the Lion River Defense Zone, the Holy Snow Mountain Defense Zone, and the Boundary Forest Defense Zone, all of which were to let the Eagle Phantom Beast Knights fly and arrive at night. The Shengxue Mountain Defense Area was the first to be notified, and according to the order of the military headquarters, the vanguard units of the two brigades blocked the designated three mainland roads in the shortest possible time.

When Mo Ye and Long learned that it was Xilin Island that was attacked, their anxious state of mind could be imagined. hurriedly showed his mercenary certificate, hoping to pass the level immediately. Unfortunately, the order issued by the commander of the defense zone did not mention who was defending Xilin Island, let alone which mercenary groups could be released.

In this way, Mo Ye and Takashi and more than 30 small mercenaries were surrounded outside Luka for two days like ants on a hot pot, and in the end, the small mercenary group actually clashed with the soldiers in the defense area.

It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in this conflict, if only Mo Ye is present, then there will be basically no conflict this time, but there is also Long on the scene, and Long's style of fighting and causing trouble is extremely famous in the Northern Union Army.

Long, Mo Ye, Balbas and others all joined the emperor at about the same time, Mo Ye, who enlisted in the army at the same time, was already the leader of the emperor's ** squadron when he retired, and Balbas was the squad leader when he retired, only Long was still an ordinary soldier. According to common sense, this is a very strange thing, Long's full name is Long Sparta Wannis, and the person with the word Sparta in his surname is a descendant of the oldest nobles in the Empire, and most of them will also have the title of Imperial Knight.

The most important reason why Long was not promoted was that he had no superiors and repeatedly got into trouble. After joining the military at the age of 18, no matter how big the commander is, Long can maintain a rare "normal heart", and he likes to make fun of his boss in front of his colleagues, such as making bets with his companions at night - running to the front of the officer's house to leave some human excrement, such as instigating the reckless men in the squad to challenge the authority of the newly transferred captain, and there are countless cases of frequent fights and troubles.

In terms of combat power, he is indeed worthy of the noble surname "Sparta", so he has injured his superiors and colleagues more than once. He is also a descendant of the imperial aristocracy, and it seems that there are rumors that he is also the son of a powerful aristocratic family, but he really doesn't like the head of the family and his family, so he was exiled to the army in disguise, which also gives him immunity in some aspects, and in the northern federal forces, he is a figure who gives all his superiors a headache, and it is reasonable that he cannot be promoted.

In charge of this level is a squad from the Imperial Holy Snow Mountain Defense Area, and the brigade where this squad is located is subordinate to the Black Dragon Knights, one of the four major jīng Rui of the empire - the Black Dragon Knights are strictly speaking, the private legion of the largest famous Chi family in the empire, and is stationed at Tongyun Pass in the southeast of the empire all year round. Among the four jīng rui, this unit was the second to be established, Marshal Chi Tongyun had 5,000 personal guards under his command in the founding war, and after obtaining the fief, the Black Dragon Knights were established on the basis of the guards.

The successive heads of the Chi family can be called models of knights, and they are indifferent, silent, fair, and old-fashioned, and the Black Dragon Knights also have this style.

The team leader endured the restlessness of these mercenaries in front of him for two days, during which he was pointed at by Long more than 10 times, and their military posture was untidy, their faces were bloodless, and their posture of riding horses seemed to be driving pigs, and no one could stand it. In the end, he waved his hand in anger and more than 20 strong soldiers wanted to forcibly push Long and Mo Ye away from the sentry post - like all regular soldiers, the Black Dragon Knights did not look down on mercenary groups, and a certain imperial marshal commented on all mercenary groups: "I am afraid that the world is not chaotic but I dare not make a big mess in the world. ”

The soldiers, who were also depressed by Takashi, were instructed by the officer to clean up the garbage, and of course they would not be polite.

"Get out of the way, hurry up!" a few soldiers pushed and shoved.

"If you don't leave, I'll arrest you according to the Temporary War Regulations!"

Mo Ye and Long were pushed a few times, and both of them couldn't hold their faces in front of the children. Long Brown's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to make a stumbling stumbling with the soldier in front of him into his arms, and immediately put one down.

The soldiers of the Black Dragon Knights were not ready for a fight while pushing Sang, and when they saw their robes being put down, the Knights soldiers quickly drew their long swords - sure enough, as the Imperial Marshal said, a group of mobs wanted to attack the Imperial checkpoint when the Empire was attacked by aliens for the sake of petty profits.

Mo Ye looked at Long with a wry smile, and also drew his long sword.

Whether it is a war or a duel between knights, the Black Dragon Knights are very familiar with the battle, there are only two adults and a lot of weak children in this mercenary team in front of them, and one of the four great jīng Rui of the empire is not immediately captured, and the captain who leads the team also greets: "Don't hurt the child." ”

It's a pity that both Long and Mo Ye are from the Northern Union Border Guards.

Due to the fact that the army was the last to be founded, the Xueyue Legion, which was subordinate to the Northern Union Border Guards, ranked last among the four major jīng rui of the empire. However, all the Emperor ** people know that the actual combat effectiveness of the Snow Moon Legion is definitely in the top two in the Emperor ** team - this still needs to give the Imperial Gyeonggi Colorful Dragon Knights some honorary face. In the past 300 years, among all the armies of the Empire, only the army of the Northern Federation has often been at war, and it has been trained in snow and fire, and the combat strength of the Northern Union army has greatly exceeded that of its peers, especially the Jīng Rui troops in the Northern Federation Border Guards, the Snow Moon Legion, the Glacier Infantry Brigade and the Knight Brigade are in the establishment of the Snow Moon Legion.

Mo Ye and Takashi are mid-level officers and veterans for many years in the Northern Federation of the Empire, and the two snow-bright long swords stabbed down 19 imperial soldiers in 20 minutes, and the soldiers of the Black Dragon Knights should feel lucky, Mo Ye and Takashi are wearing special stabbing swords for noble knights in order to hurry, if it is a big sword that is standard for small mercenary groups, it is estimated that it is not just as simple as being stabbed down. In the end, the captains of the two brigades and the Marquis Chi Hantong, who had just arrived at the second-line corps, were alarmed.

When Marquis Chi Hantong, who was wearing a silver-green double sè general uniform, appeared in front of Mo Ye and Long, Mo Ye subconsciously said to Long: "Long, isn't this the scum captain of the knight brigade, why did you run here?"

"It seems that he has been promoted, and it is said that he has become our majority shareholder. Takashi also got the news not long ago: "Do you remember what we auctioned some time ago? It is said that he got it from the palace." ”

"Can anyone tell me, what's going on?" Chi Hantong asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe, Captain Chi, don't look like you're doing business all over your face, okay?" Looking at the fallen Imperial soldiers, there seemed to be a squadron leader among them, and Mo Ye and Takashi were also quite embarrassed. According to their understanding, although Chi Hanfeng's character is very problematic, he still treats the soldiers very well, so the two of them are not very worried, and Long hurriedly leaned over to set up a relationship.

Chi Hantong, who was hurt by his younger brother and Chi Yu, was stunned for a moment? I became the captain at least 20 years ago, why did I meet my subordinates here?

"Your Excellency, do you know me?"

"Captain Chi, Boss Chi," Long's mysterious behavior really didn't look like a noble child, he leaned next to Chi Hantong and whispered: "Don't pretend to be confused, I was a soldier of the Glacier Brigade back then, and I saved your life with our captain." I'm your savior, and now I'm a soldier of the little mercenary group......"

Hearing this, Chi Hantong already knew everything that happened: "Your Excellency, you have recognized the wrong person, I am Chi Hanfeng's brother Chi Hantong." Are you in a hurry to go to the Lion River Defense Zone? Well, leave the medical expenses for your wounded soldiers, and you can leave now. "After leading the army for so many years, there are some veterans like Long in any army, and Chi Hantong is quite aware of the consequences if he continues to talk to this kind of person who is stained with the double vice of soldiers and mercenaries, this kind of person may really only be managed by his precious brother. After finishing speaking, he left a personal soldier to deal with the aftermath and returned to the barracks.

Two days later, Long and Mo Ye, who were holding the warrant issued by the Marquis of Chi Hantong himself, rushed to Lionheart City.

The Little Mercenary Regiment has set up a branch in the Treehouse Bar in Lionheart, and 20 days ago, Horns had already transferred most of the mercenaries back to Xilin Island, and now only 5 soldiers are left on duty, of which 3 are Great Swordsmen and 2 Vulture Swordsmen.

Seeing the two vultures fostered at the treehouse bar, Takashi had a new idea - he wanted to fly directly over Xilin Island in the vultures himself to see what was going on.

Early the next morning, in the name of the commander of the mercenary group, Long and Mo Ye ordered the two vulture swordsmen to let the two poor vultures out - the vulture swordsmen were very reluctant, but they had to comply, at the request of the two middle-aged men, and it was also their father's robe.

After a brief learning of how to control it, the two big men struggled to climb onto the vulture's back. There is probably nothing more unlucky ever than these two vultures, all of which have a limited capacity. When the small mercenary group selects the vulture swordsman, all the vultures must be weighed first, and the average vulture can carry a swordsman of about 90 catties at most, so there are quite a lot of girls in the vulture swordsman camp.

Mo Ye and Takashi were already 37 or 8 years old, their bodies were already slightly fat, and they lacked the flexibility of young people, and the two wild vultures were pressed to the ground at that time.

After several struggles, the Vulture finally took to the skies and rushed into the sky with the two branch commanders who were shouting and screaming, but unfortunately, not everyone was lucky enough to taste the beauty of the sky. The two wild vultures fluttered desperately in the air in order to carry the heavy weight, and the two middle-aged people felt like they had been thrown into the whirlpool of the storm, and there was a Venus in front of them, and they couldn't tell the difference between heaven and earth.

However, since it is to coerce his subordinates to send themselves into the blue sky, it is even more difficult to fly down immediately at this time. The two middle-aged men endured the pain in the sky, hugging the vulture's neck tightly, hoping to get used to it as soon as possible.

The two wild vultures were grabbed and pressed and finally clamped tightly by the strong arms of the two strong and powerful fellows, and the two middle-aged men finally vomited on it, and the two poor fellows could no longer parry, and fell from the sky with a tumbling belt.

After the crash landed, in order to divert the consequences of the wrong order just now, Takashi's first reaction was: "Did I fly into the sky just now?

Sweat...... A few little mercenaries looked at each other for a while, not knowing whether to tell the truth, and the last honest swordsman pointed to the house on the first floor and muttered, "Uncle Long just ...... It's probably as high as a house......."

"Then I must be flying higher than him, right? I saw him at my feet. "I lost someone in front of my juniors, and Mo Ye couldn't hold it on his face, so he had to step on his companion first to get some face.

"You two are about the same, you see him at your feet, probably because the vulture fell from the sky with his head flipped......"

The most direct consequence of this vulture adventure is that the flight feathers of the two vultures are broken a lot, and it is estimated that they have also strained a lot of muscles, and they will not be able to fly again for a short time.

Without the wild vulture scouting in the sky, Mo Ye and Long came to the outside of the camp every day from dawn in the direction of Xilin Island, hoping to see the shadow of the small mercenary group.

As soon as the small mercenary group appeared, Mo Ye and Long led more than 20 young mercenaries to follow behind the scout cavalry of the Fire Lion Legion.
