Chapter 1: Encounters
In the year 4400 of the continental calendar, 10 years have passed since the Battle of Mount Lonin between the Empire of Jatarence and the Empire of the Sun because of the border issue, because of the victory of the Battle of Mount Ronin, Carl was promoted to lieutenant general by the Empire, and he was transferred from the original unit to the fortress of Ancarlo, which is known as the strongest defensive line of Jetalens, as a commander.
Ankaro Fortress is a fortress built from the mountains, with the highest 40-meter city wall in the empire, the city wall is divided into three layers, each layer is 15 meters wide, 320 meters long from east to west, and the perennial garrison reaches 200,000, which is a military center in the northwest region of the empire.
In the military training ground in the center of the inner city, you can see soldiers in line everywhere, and not far from them, a small figure stands under the scorching sun, shirtless, constantly waving his fists, and a childish shout comes out of his mouth with the dance of his fists.
Dahl is 10 years old, since he just knew how to stand, his father Carl began his training road, but what he didn't expect was that after the test in the army, Carl was surprised to find that Dahl did not have the possibility of learning Dou Qi and magic, Dahl was unresponsive in front of Dou Qi Stone and Magic Crystal, this is not to say that his son is the legendary Demon Warrior Waste? But at the same time, he found that Dahl's liliang was very amazing, the 10-year-old Dahl was able to lift a stone weighing 200 catties, he ordered his soldiers to stand there and let Dahl punch, the result was that the unlucky guy was directly broken 3 ribs, lying on the bed for half a month.
All kinds of strange things made Carl bewildered, because he was the commander of the military fortress, he was not allowed to leave the city without the order of the empire, he had to order Dosen to visit famous doctors all over the country, but 10 years passed, and there was still no result, in this case, he had to let Dahl practice the fighting skills of ordinary soldiers in the army.
Although Karl Gui is a lieutenant general of the empire, but in this Shijie, who respects his personal force, only with the strength of his fifth-order realm, he really can't find those legendary big people who can open mountains and split the land to see what is going on for his son, just when he was distressed, a piece of news from the empire suddenly gave him hope.
The Imperial Military Department will arrive at the Ankaro Fortress in 4 days for inspection, accompanied by Lord Samuel, Marshal of the Northern Empire, Lord Aris, Minister of War of the Empire, His Royal Highness Prince Sherlock, the first heir of the Empire, and Lord Jialan, the sword saint who Carl most hopes to see, the President of the Royal Military Academy of the Empire and known as the God of War who protects the country.
4 days later.
A group of black-armored and black-horse cavalry stood in front of the main entrance of the Ankaro Fortress, each knight was wearing a one-piece full-body armor custom-made by the Empire, the black armor was inlaid with golden patterns, the golden lion logo on his chest glittered in the sunlight, and Karl wore a red cloak, looking at the approaching convoy in the distance.
"Carl, the last time we met was at the Imperial Medal Ceremony 10 years ago, right?" An old man with gray hair dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Marshal stepped forward, it was Imperial Marshal Samuel.
"Lord Marshal, why don't you take a carriage, but come here on horseback in person, the boat and car are tiring, and your body will be unbearable. Karl asked in surprise when he saw Samuel himself riding over.
"Stinky boy, I'm not old and can't move anymore, what's wrong with horseback riding, even now, a few young men are not my opponents together." The old marshal gave Karl a punch and scolded with a smile, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, and Master Jialan are sitting in the carriage. ”
"Yes, let His Royal Highness the Prince and Master Jialan get along more, and our two leaders won't mix in it. Alius, the Minister of War on the side, said.
Karl is a high-level person in the empire, and when he heard the two of them say this, he suddenly understood in his chest, "So, Bixia wants His Royal Highness the prince to apprentice, so that?"
"Yes, Bixia does have this intention, although Master Jialan is the dean of the Royal Military Academy, but it is just a matter of being in the way, if there is any major event in the empire in the future, Lord Jialan will not make a move, but if His Royal Highness the prince apprentices, the meaning is different. Samuel said.
Karl pondered for a while, then said with a wry smile: "But Lord Marshal, I'm afraid that our little thoughts can't be hidden from Lord Jialan." “
"Haha, of course, what kind of character is Lord Jialan, but ah, through my observation along the way, Lord Jialan is still very satisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Oh, well, I really haven't seen His Royal Highness the Prince, he was a baby the last time I saw him, and His Royal Highness is very talented?" Karl asked.
At this time, a strong and powerful voice reached the ears of the three people at the same time, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince's talent is very good, and he is very smart, and he is indeed the best candidate to accept apprentices." ”
"Lord Jialan?" Samuel, Carl, and Alius turned their heads at the same time, only to see an old man wearing a sky blue robe with crane hair and a childish face appear in front of them, while looking at each other, they only felt as if facing this vast sea of stars, they were like a canoe, and the two could not be compared at all.
"Okay, such a powerful Liliang, is this the strength of the Sacred Domain master?" Carl was in a cold sweat, and at the same time, infinite hope surged in his heart, randomly, he knelt on one knee, his right hand clenched into a fist and lay on his chest, and said: "Lord Jialan, Carl has something to ask for!"
"You are General Carl Ulysses, I have heard of you, the battle of Luoning Mountain was very exciting, and winning more with less has always been a beautiful story in the military history of the mainland. Jialan said softly, "Say something to you." ”
"Thanks to the praise of the adults, the villain does have a thing, which is about dogs. Carl didn't expect the other party to know about him, and said happily.
"The villain's son can't learn vindictive spirit and magic for some reason, and at the same time, his liliang is very amazing, so I implore the adults to take a look and find out the reason. ”
"Oh, that's so strange, where is the kid, I'll go and see, Sherlock, let's go together." Jialan lifted her hand up, and before she could touch Carl, she was standing up as a little boy with blond hair stepped out from behind him.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince. Karl saluted.
Several people followed Carl to the vicinity of the school grounds, only to see a black-haired 10-year-old boy boxing there, "Dahl, come here!"
"Father!" Dahl ran over, and then saw a few more old men behind his father that he had never seen before, and his eyes fell on Sherlock.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before. Dahl said to Sherlock, maybe he had never seen a child of the same age, or maybe it was some kind of fateful arrangement, at this moment, the two of them met.
