With the sound of the wine pouring on the ground, a rich and pungent smell of alcohol instantly diffused in the general's tent.

Ike has been in the military for two years and has come to enjoy this strong distilled spirit.

However, Ike doesn't usually drink, he only takes a few sips with Lance when he misses Lance, and stimulates his nerves with strong alcohol.

Only after a few sips will Ike feel that he is still the boy who traveled the continent with Lance and is bent on pursuing strength.

Ike placed the empty cup on the opposite side of the table, sighed and continued: "Lance, although everyone thinks you are dead, I know that you are the guardian of the continent, I believe that you are still alive, you are just delayed by the matter, if you are done with things, come back early, brother, I miss you very much." ”

Before he knew it, some tears had faintly glistened in Ike's eyes.

He picked up the wine glass in front of him that he hadn't drunk just now, bowed to the void, and drank it clean as soon as he tilted his neck.

After putting down the glass, Ike looked at the empty chair across from him, as if Lance was sitting there in the air opposite.

"You know what? Some time ago, Uncle Mislanda and Big Brother Aranda came to me again, and they said that the war on the Kstana continent will break out in full force in the near future, so let's prepare early, but looking at Uncle Mislanda's calm appearance, it seems that the outbreak of this all-out war is expected by him, but Lance, whether it is a full-scale war or a local war, as long as the conspiracy of the undead can be defeated this time, I will use all my strength, even if it is to pay for my life, I will avenge you. ”

Yes, in the face of the invasion and rise of the undead, Ike finally chose to take the overall situation into account, and did not lead the army into the Western tribal forces because of his personal vendetta, chasing down the leader of the Bloodfang tribe, Grom Bloodfang.

If the Kstana continent is occupied by the undead, then there will no longer be a pure land for humans in the entire continent.

Even though Ike wasn't a great man, he remembered what Lance had said to him.

Guardian of the Continent.

It was already dawn, and after Ike finished his drink, he put away his sad side.

He washed his face, tidied up his slightly messy military uniform, stepped on his long sword, and his face returned to calm and cold.

Just as Ike was about to walk out of the tent, a soldier's voice rang out outside the tent.

"General. ”

"Come in. ”

Ike walked back into the tent and sat down.

When the soldier entered the tent, he gave a respectful salute to Ike and said, "General, a magician wants to come to see you, and he is already waiting outside the tent. ”

"Magician, which side is it from?"

Ike frowned slightly, and then asked with some puzzlement.

In the past two years, there have often been warrior monks and stronger ordinary people joining the vanguard of the Western Front, but there have never been magicians.

Now the sudden arrival of a magician was somewhat surprising to Ike.

"General Hui, it's from the mercenary fortress. ”

"Oh, Mercenary Fortress, please let him in. ”

If it is a mercenary fortress, it is likely to be hired by Gad, but the cost of hiring a mage is extremely high, which is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the pride and rarity of the mage.

A magician, in the face of a large-scale war, no matter what department of magician he is, as long as they are safe, their powerful attack power is definitely a weapon for harvesting life on the battlefield.

Because of this, the kingdom has put a lot of effort into crafting the incredibly powerful Vulcan Cannon.

Now that a magician has arrived, Ike naturally wants to meet him.

"Yes, General. ”

After the soldier left, not long after, a handsome young magician dressed in white and white hair walked in with a white jade short staff in his hand.

After the magician entered the tent with a warm smile, Ike, who was sitting on the soft chair, immediately felt cool and comfortable, even the grim General Ike, there was a hint of comfort on his face, but it was only fleeting.

Ike knew that the magician who came here was an ice magician, and he was very strong.

From the moment the magician entered the room, the water element in the air began to condense into tiny ice crystals, but due to the magician's extremely subtle manipulation, it only made Ike feel cool, not cold.

The magician walked more than two meters away from Ike and stopped, his hands folded respectfully over his chest, and bowed slightly.

"Dear General Ike Lehrer, the vanguard general of the Western Front, the glory of the god of twilight is with us. ”

Ike also stood up at the same time, also clasping his hands over his chest, bowing slightly.

This is a standard return gift for the followers of the Twilight God.

Although Ike is not a believer in the god of twilight, in the face of this polite and humble magician, Ike also has a lot of good feelings.

And even Ike, who has now entered the middle of the high-level realm, can't see the strength of this young man.

This made Ike look up to the person in front of him.

The young magician smiled politely at Ike.

"Venerable General Ike Lehrer, you are a revered hero, and it is you who have been under tremendous pressure to guard the human defences all these years, please accept my high respect once again. ”

The young magician bowed again before he continued, "Venerable General Ike Lyler, my name is Jon Victor, and I am from the Mercenary Fortress, and I have come here this time in the hope of dedicating my modest strength to the fight against the undead. ”

Jon smiled at Ike as he finished speaking.

Ike looked at Jon in confusion, and after a moment, Ike pointed to the chair next to him and gestured to Jon to take a seat.

After the two of them sat down, Ike asked expressionlessly, "How many of you are here this time?"

When Ike learns that Jon is from the Mercenary Fortress, he is a little confused.

If you count the time, even the first batch of mercenaries recruited by Gad would not be able to come now.

This white-clothed and white-haired magician didn't come a little too early?

It seemed that Jon saw Ike's doubts.

He still had a warm smile on his face and said: "I am alone, I am not employed, I came this time to complete a mission that belongs to me, or to open the wheel of fate." ”

Jon's blunt words immediately made the muscles on Ike's face twitch involuntarily.

Not long ago, Mithlanda said the same.

The wheel of fate has been opened, the seventh reincarnation casts the world key, the seeds in the magic box will grow, the ashes of the gods are the nourishment for rebirth, and the re-disrupted order will return to chaos......

"Does this magician have something to do with prophecy?"

Ike thought to himself.

Now he was getting more and more incomprehensible to the young magician.

Ike stared at Jon with a torch in his eyes and didn't speak.

Now he couldn't figure out what Jon's purpose was, so he just waited for Jon's next words.

After a moment of silence, Jon spoke again: "Venerable General Ike, I think each of us has our own mission, the seed of the magic box is about to be opened, whether it is a blessing or a curse is unknown, and I am here because of the will of the Dusk God. ”

Jon paused and then continued, "As you said, I should have gone directly to Commander Turs this time, but in the dark, I came to your tent, and I think this is also the guidance of the god of twilight!"

"Twilight's guidance?"

"I am a faithful believer of the Twilight God, and my grandfather is also a faithful believer of the Twilight God, General Ike, please rest assured, I think my arrival will definitely bring you some surprises. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait and see, I hope you can really surprise me and the border guards on the Western Front. ”

As he spoke, Ike stood up and held out his hand to Jon.

"You're welcome to join us. ”

With the addition of a powerful magician, Ike naturally won't refuse, especially now is the time to employ people.

Regardless of Jon's purpose, as long as he can contribute to the battlefield on the Western Front and help defeat the undead, then he can be Ike's comrade-in-arms.

"Thank you, General Icke, for giving me this opportunity. ”

Jon also reached out and shook hands with Ike.

"You go to Commander Tours first, the Church Coalition has officially been taken over by the Western Front Border Guards, and in the future, you will directly obey Commander Tours, the soldiers ......"

Ike shouted outside the tent.

The same soldier who had been briefed walked in, and he gave a respectful salute.

"You take this Lord Jon to Master Tours. ”

"Yes, General. ”

Just as Jon was about to walk out of the tent, he suddenly stopped, turned to Ike, and said meaningfully, "The phoenix needs to be nirvana in the flames of war to be reborn, and the death it experiences will awaken the silent mission in the bloodline. ”

Jon walked out of the tent without looking back.

His words made Ike, who was also about to walk out of the tent, suddenly stunned and stopped.

The matter of Ike's phoenix bloodline, except for the few people in the Arctic Ice Jiao and the Bokan caves, there is no other person who knows, and it is impossible for several of them to tell this secret, even Morrison Batcheld, the current head of the Batcheld family, it is impossible to tell this secret to others.

But now that Jon had spoken out directly, it was clear that he knew a lot more.

Icke's opinion of Jon changed a bit.

"Looks like you're going to need to keep an eye out for this magician named Jon Victor. ”

Ike thought to himself.

He didn't care what Jon meant in what he said, arranging the deployment of troops was the most important thing now.
