Chapter 33: The Tranquility Before the Great War

"Joining the army?" is interesting, but a poet like me is not for fiddling with weapons. Oliel smiled and put Joshua down.

"I said Cork, you fool. Can't you get rid of your stinky head?" McLun struggled to reach out of the narrow space of the hole in the wall, and took down the notice that was attached to his face.

"Mai Lun, you take this piece of paper right, and I'll take a look at it too. Even though his head was stuck and he couldn't move, Cork tried to lift his face.

"What? The Reims Empire has sent the Knights of the White Dragon, the elite of the Empire, to encircle and suppress the Wings of Freedom. McLun took a closer look at Haig's summoning order.

"It's really Haig's handwriting, and what the imp says is true. Cork said after glancing at it.

"No wonder I saw a lot of people gathering in the center just now. It turned out that they had joined the army together!" At this time, Pine also "floated" over.

"Hehe, my Uncle Geraint is now the commander-in-chief here. Joshua said excitedly, "I see that several of you are quite powerful, and I would like to invite you to join us in the fight against the invasion of the Empire." ”

"I'm an old bone, I just want to live a few days of leisure, and I don't want to get involved in the war. Pine shook his head.

"Me too, I'm a man full of literary energy. Oliel said and picked up his flute again, "I don't care about spears or shields. ”

"But I don't think you're any worse than those with spears!" Joshua tried to win over Oliel.

"Son, listen to you like a civilized person. Olier was about to put the flute to his lips, but suddenly put it down again, "I'm not used to fighting, but if you need musicians in your army, I can join." This way I can solve the problem of eating, and I don't have to sell medicine on the street anymore!"

"What about you two?" Joshua smiled as he walked over to Cork and McLun.

"Hehe, if there is going to be a war, the army must need a lot of weapons, and now we are going to make a fortune. Cork laughed, "Of course I'd like to join, but the weapons I built aren't free!"

"Just say 'you,' Cork! McLun's body couldn't move, so he could only turn his face sideways and say to Cork, "When are you still so wealthy?" If the Wings of Liberty are indeed occupied by the Imperial Knights, I'll see who you'll sell these weapons to. ”

"Sir, you mean you're willing to join us?" Joshua smiled at Cork.

"What's your name, kid, count me in!" said McLun with a grin.

"My name is Joshua, and you are the strongest men on the island. I believe that if we can get your help, we will definitely increase our strength. Joshua began to compliment everyone present.

"You kid is really good at talking, haha!" McLun Daxiao, "let's go, take us to your Uncle Geraint." ”

"Oops, why can't I get out. McLun is all you idiot, you have nothing to do!" "Cork was trying to break free from the hole, but he couldn't move because it was too small.

"Cork, you fool, it's obvious that your broken brain is so big that I can't even move my arm. Although McLun and Cork were caught in a hole in the wall together, they still did not forget to quarrel there.

"Alright, let me be fair. Pine walked up to the two of them, "You two are stupid, let me help you!"

Pine spread his hands and chanted a spell in his mouth, apparently trying to unleash his magic to help them both get out of trouble.

"Oops, it's finally out!cough-cough-cough!" Pyne cast his magic, loosening the stones around the hole, and the two of them broke free. However, due to the force exerted, the stones on the wall shattered and scattered dust all over their faces.

"Haha, Cork, you really look like a boar man right now!" McLun pointed at Cork's nose.

"I think you'd better take a mirror and look at yourself first, it's like a red-haired hyena!" Cork glared at McLun.

"Stop arguing, let's follow this kid to the recruiting office!" Pine said. Although Pine initially told Joshua that he was reluctant to participate in the war, he was caught by the peculiar liliang in Joshua's body. Eventually, he decided to join the team with three other people.

"Uncle Geraint will be glad to see you!" Joshua excitedly led the four to their tent when he saw that he was done.

"Haha, two friends, I am really sorry for beating you up just because of a misunderstanding!" Mai Lun patted Mallory's shoulder and smiled. The two chengguan looked like they had been beaten lightly, and they looked ugly while covering their cheeks along the way.

"Uncle Geraint, I'm back!" said Joshua as soon as he returned to the camp and told Geraint about the results of his gathering, "You see I've brought you back four more great men. ”

"Welcome to Wings of Freedom. Geraint held out his hand to welcome the four.

"You're the commander-in-chief appointed by the Lord of Haig himself, and you really have the style of a general!" Pyne was the first to step forward and shake hands with Geraint.

"Haha, so you're the commander-in-chief here. When McLun saw Geraint, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"You look younger than we are, Haig Weishenme chose you to be the commander-in-chief?" Cork felt that Gerantt looked much younger than they did, and there was a slight sarcasm in his words.

"I was only entrusted by the Lord of Haig to form an army and temporarily lead everyone against the invasion of the Empire. Here, everyone is friends, and there is no hierarchy. Gerante said.

"But I'd like to see what makes you so special!" McLun said with an axe in his hand and a smile at Geraint.

"Since Haig is the commander-in-chief, the strength will naturally not be much worse than Haig, right?" Cork also raised the copper hammer in his hand, "You must know that we actually didn't accept Haig as our boss back then. But when we fought against him, he beat us all in an instant. ”

"If you two want to fight, don't rush now, right? When the army is assembled and everyone starts practicing, there will definitely be many opportunities!" Geraint hurriedly prevaricated. However, McLun and Cork ignored it and attacked Geraint directly. Geraint had no choice but to draw his sword to meet him.

"Hey, you're not allowed to do that to Uncle Geraint. Joshua saw the scene in front of him and exclaimed. "You two go and stop them!" Pine and Oliel stood by in the face of Joshua's plea for help.

McLun's axe and Cork's copper hammer slammed into Geraint, who raised his sword to block. At the moment when the weapons collided, Geraint felt that these two strange-looking dwarven warriors had a fighting spirit close to the level of the Bronze Knight, so he didn't dare to slack off and raised the fighting spirit in his body. Gerant's old injuries have been plagued for years, and he can barely have a fighting spirit close to the silver level, but it is enough to deal with the two of McLun and Coke. Although McLun and Cork's Liliang are both powerful, after all, there is a huge gap in skill and combat experience with professional knights like Geraint. With a combination of vindictiveness and skill, Geraint calmly coped with the attacks of the two. However, because it was just a competition, he also hid a part of Liliang during the duel.

"Son, as I said earlier, your Uncle Geraint is no ordinary man. Pine said to Joshua with his hands crossed behind his back. When Gerant, McLun, and Cork used their fighting spirit to confront each other, Pine suddenly felt the liliang that he had found in Joshua before, but the liliang on Geraint's body was not as obvious as Joshua's in his opinion.

"Take it!" McLun swung his axe and rushed towards Geraint. Although Mai Lun's momentum was very strong, but there were many flaws left in this attack, Geraint seized the opportunity to stretch out his right foot and stumble gently, and Mai Lun instantly fell into the mud.

"You're useless, haha! It's up to me!" Seeing that McLun was so embarrassed, Cork gloated on the sidelines. "Ahem, I said sir, you'd better look behind you!" Gerante suddenly pointed behind Cork.

"They just broke our stuff with two dwarves!" a group of menacing men appeared behind Cork with hoes, forks, and brooms in their hands.

"Catch them, you must not cheapen them. An old lady with a broom shouted at the head.

"Oh, no! these people are coming to us to compensate for their losses. McLun got up and patted the dust off his body.

"Fool, why are you still standing here, run!" said Coke at McLun and ran.

"Don't let them run away, give me zhanzhu!" everyone chased after the guy with a mighty chase, rolling up smoke and dust all over the ground. Seeing this scene, everyone present showed helpless expressions.

"Hehe! I remembered, where had I seen this man. Isn't he the former first knight of the Golden Dragon Knights, Geraint, a disciple of Byron of the Wall of the Kingdom. Seeing Geraint's face, Pyne suddenly thought of his identity.

On the other hand, on the side of the White Dragon Knights, Wren and Yelena led their troops to board the Blue Dragon Knights' warships.

"Princess Hailey, won't Miranda-sama go on the expedition this time?" Wren asked to the mermaid princess Hayley, the current deputy head of the Blue Dragon Knights. In the years since Roger's disappearance, Princess Hayley has been by Miranda's side.

Mistress Miranda says she still wants to focus on suppressing pirates. She said that she was relieved that your White Dragon Knights would fight this time. Hayley replied.

"Well, the sea is surprisingly calm today, and there is no smell of a big war at all!" Wren stood at the bow of the ship and looked thoughtfully at the distant island of Mallory.
