The black figure of Shukin had disappeared into the western sky, and the soldiers of the Hope Legion, under the leadership of Qi Lang, set out from this birch forest and advanced to the eastern border. Their first target location will be Yunyang City in the Mingyu Kingdom.

This way forward is actually a suggestion made by Jira. Although the beautiful mountain town of the East is not an ideal tourist attraction at this time, the soldiers want to be ready for battle as soon as possible and have a first-hand experience of the brutality of war as soon as possible. The Mingyu Kingdom is currently under the attack of the Tiger Cavalry of the Otto Empire, although these hundred or so warriors cannot have much impact on the entire battle situation, but they may still be able to play a certain role.

Qi Lang accepted Jila's suggestion without hesitation, because in that land, there has always been a pretty figure that he can't forget.

Qi Lang had visited Yunyang City with Dodim, and he was quite familiar with the road to the east. However, because they were visiting in a righteous and bright way, they took the official road, and the road was smooth and unimpeded. But the current situation is very different, the Luman Empire and the Mingyu Kingdom have entered a state of war, although the territory is northern, the impact of the war is relatively small, but the defense work of each city and town has been carried out in advance, and a large number of soldiers have been placed at checkpoints and sentry posts, and pedestrians are closely checked.

At the same time, although Qi Lang's army still maintained the composition of the Whirlwind Army, in fact they were a force that did not exist at all on the military map of the Empire, with no customs clearance documents, no emblem marks, and even the number of the Whirlwind Army on the weapons and armor had been canceled. What Old Henry needed was an unknown secret force, and as Marcus had assured before he approached, the entire Imperial military, knowing the existence of this force, did not exceed ten in number.

On the other hand, however, this also caused problems for the troops. They have to choose extremely remote, inaccessible paths and, in many cases, even experience life and death in extremely dangerous primeval forests.

It was a very difficult secret march, of course, but these men were all from the Whirling Front, and if their combat ability was to be tested, there was no doubt about their ability to march. Along the way, the big guys were each other's company, cheering each other on, and the laughter almost never stopped. These soldiers were so young that together, they never seemed to know what danger was, and they never knew what trouble was.

However, Qi Lang couldn't be as relaxed as those soldiers now. He couldn't predict how many hardships lay ahead, nor could he predict how long it would take to complete the task, but he knew one thing very well—a considerable part of those childish faces would never return to Nashaki.

This worry turned into an incomparably heavy burden, which weighed Qi Lang's shoulders, so that he could hardly sleep at night, and he could hardly breathe. Fortunately, Gulf and Gila were always by their side, the twin townsmen of Atsa and Awana were always by their side, and the titular girlfriend Jojo was also by his side.

Finally, after more than half a month of crawling and rolling, they walked out of the Lefrak primeval forest full of mutant creatures, and walked east for three more days, and they would enter the territory of the Mingyu Kingdom. Before the night approached, Qi Lang ordered the soldiers to pitch their tents on the quiet shores of Lake Nessa and choose to rest here for the day. In addition to relieving the nerves of the soldiers, Qi Lang also needed to use this time to discuss the next plan of action.

In addition to the commander Qi Lang, the high-level meeting of the Legion of Hope was attended by the old faces Gulf and Jira, and Joanna was the only new member. As for Atcha and Wang, who insisted on observing, Qi Lang had no way to refuse them, because these two guys had no status as soldiers and would not follow orders, and they also claimed to have traveled all over the world, knew the situation in various places very well, and had to assume professional responsibility.

"According to the information we have before, after the Tiger Cavalry Army captured Wanlan City in the south of the Mingyu Kingdom, it stopped at about three hundred kilometers southwest of Yunyang City. Jira spread the map on the ground, like a senior staff officer, and reported the entire battle situation in a serious manner, "The sinister Marven has made a lot of achievements in this period of time, and now he has been promoted to a captain officer, who can mobilize twenty-five battle regiments of the Tiger Cavalry Army, with more than 20,000 troops. ”

"What's going on in the Mingyu Kingdom, have their reinforcements helped?" Qi Lang's more understanding of the military situation of the Mingyu Kingdom came from the occasional news in the newspapers, of course, it was basically useless nonsense.

"The Dongyi tribe didn't make a move. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jira's eyes, "I guessed that they wouldn't make a loss-making deal." Probably because the conditions they put forward have not been met, although they have sent three thousand rangers, they are only stationed in Yunyang City, nominally to protect the safety of the royal capital, but I guess they are still bargaining with King Mihuan. ”

At this time, Gulf and Joanna yawned in unison.

"Does anyone want coffee?" Joanna stood up with interest, as if she had regretted forcing her into the so-called management.

"Can you have some green tea?" and Ah Wang raised their hands at the same time.

Jira clasped her hands around her waist and stared at the group of troublemakers with great dissatisfaction: "Can you show some serious attitude? We are not children playing at home, this is a military matter, and it is related to the future and future of the Luman Empire!"

Joanna looked like she wanted to refute a few words, but she saw that Qi Lang's expression was also very serious, so she grimaced at Atcha and Wang, and sat back obediently: "Okay, please continue." But there is one thing that I am more worried about, what if the Mingyu Kingdom treats us as spies of the Otto Empire? From a historical point of view, it is not impossible. ”

Jira was choked up, and despite his careful thoughts, Joanna's questions were really ignored by him.

"We can ventilate with them in advance. Gulf was sitting there with his chin propped up, and replied somewhat absentmindedly, his eyes completely attracted by Lucy, who was chatting and laughing with her female companions seven or eight meters away, "Schukin is always at your service." ”

"It's a good idea. Jira's waist straightened again, "Sergeant Qi Lang, I heard that you are quite familiar with that princess of theirs, you can send her a message first, ask her if she has any difficult errands, and leave it to us to deal with, first, we can also get some exercise, and second, it can be regarded as helping our allies to make some meritorious deeds." ”

"It's Princess Mirong. Qi Lang emphasized, and when he turned around and took out the letter, he found that Joanna's eyebrows seemed to be wrinkled. But to be honest, Qi Lang didn't care that much about Joanna's attitude, so he continued: "It's a good idea, Gulf, I'm afraid I'll really have to trouble Hukin." ”

Gulf jumped up excitedly: "Really, great! I wish there was a constant exchange of letters, so that she could fly around every day, and not always stay in my head, babbling at me, correcting the thoughts of normal men in my mind...... She is prejudiced, especially against Corporal Lucy, she has a very serious prejudice!"

Gulf's overly excited reaction startled Lucy on the other side, and she immediately smiled and threw a flying kiss at Gulf, so that Gulf was so excited that she could barely control herself.

Qi Lang secretly swallowed his saliva, and said helplessly: "Be sensible, Gulf...... Oh my God, nothing happened to you, did you?"

Gulf clenched his fists and shook his head nervously, as if suppressing some kind of impulse: "No...... It's a little bit short. ”

The brothers Atcha and Awana laughed maliciously, "What is the almost, little goo?"

Gulf rolled his eyes: "It has nothing to do with you minors, don't be so inquisitive." ”

Ah Wang jumped up very unhappily when he heard this: "You look down on people, I don't understand what you guys do, isn't it just the ones who hugged and kissed, and the bad things you two did in the grass the night before, my brother and I both saw it......

"Stop! you can't talk about it anymore!" Gulf blushed with anxiety, "That's privacy, do you understand? Make a similar mistake again, be careful that I dump you two useless burdens!"

Qi Lang and Joanna both laughed. However, Awan's young and fragile heart was stabbed by Gulf's vicious words: "What do you say?!We are a burden? You look down on people too much, don't you? We are forgers, remember? Brother Qi Lang, bring me your bow now, and I will transform it for you." ”

Qi Lang wanted to prevaricate, but he didn't expect that Ah Wang had already started the real fire, snatched it on his own initiative, and cooperated with his brother, and worked back and forth for two hours, and when they returned to the scene, the Holy Blood Bow had already been reborn, and in Ah Wang's words, it had been upgraded to the ninth level!

"If your original strength is three points, this bow will make you ten points. Ah Wang tilted his chin and glanced at Gulf as if demonstratively, but there was still a hint of regret in his tone, "It's a pity that the original foundation of this bow is too weak to be strengthened to the highest level." But I can guarantee that you can shoot an arrow a thousand meters away. ”

Gulf is a knowledgeable guy, so he glanced twice, and immediately changed his face and leaned forward with his jujube bow: "My foundation should be okay." ”

Ah Wang pursed his lips: "Take the money." Five thousand syrsyls!"

"Do you want money?" Gulf immediately turned bitter.

"Of course, we're seniors. You're not our fellow countryman, how can you do it without pay?" Wang snorted and turned his back disdainfully, "and said that we are a burden, you know, I have 1,649 ways to transform your plays." ”
