Ratch, rattle-

The rocking chairs and the floor emit the sound of age, and the choking smoke of burning tobacco leaves fills the poorly lit and ventilated room, and the smell of tar and damp air is particularly dreary.

Rattle Rattle –

The man leaning back in the rocking chair glanced at the cumulonimbus clouds gathering on the sea antenna outside the window, extinguished the cigarette butt with all his might, and instead stared at the uniforms hanging on the hangers in the room.

The corners of the royal blue military uniform are all polished, and the color has faded to light blue, but the whole row of battle wounded, assault, lurking, first-class meritorious service, national knight, and national medal of honor pinned to the left chest is still eye-catching, and respect swells from the bottom of my heart.

This is a meritorious combat hero, a living legend, a veteran who has dedicated himself to his country, although his good years are long gone, and perhaps not many people know about his former glory, his sharp blue eyes still do not lose his military nature, rebelliousness, bravery, vigilance, calmness - these elements of a great warrior are refracted from those eyes.

Blue Eyes moved away from their medallion-covered uniforms to a row of golden pendants nailed to the wall, a row of golden sheep of the same size and shape hanging to the ground, and lambs contaminated with oxidized brown materials facing the men questioningly.

The concert of the rocking chair and the floor faded away, and the memories that had happened yesterday turned into explosions, winds, roars, weeping, begging, praying, echoing against the eardrum against the background of the rustle of communication.

"We can't hold on any longer, sir, get us out of here!!

"I'm not going to let you down, I won't. The children. ”

"How long will we wait, sir!, we're already 15 dead!!"

"The enemy is attacking fiercely, and they are rushing up!!"

"I'm Hammer, save my men!!"

"Sir, we are forbidden to enter orc territory. ”

"Sir, they're not going to come to our rescue, are they? ”

The unique roar of the hairy bear can already be heard around, and the subordinates are completely observant, and they can't even question a dull word, and they usually scold the men under them like man-eating beasts or tyrants.

"The War Department also has the Ministry of Finance. I am here today to protest against injustice. ”

Wear a dignified uniform. Hung with medals of honor, the man made a generous statement, in exchange for the bureaucracy's perfunctory prevarication, and finally simply ordered the guards to prohibit him from entering the War Department.

When the bereaved families who have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers have their trusting eyes turned into despair and hollowness. Those empty eyes were questioning him and lashing out at his faith. Until the hungry child, barely weightless, stopped breathing in his arms. Men's justice and faith collapsed.

What is this?

This is for those of them who go to the battlefield for the motherland. After giving their lives and shedding their blood, can they not even be rewarded by the funeral of the oil ceremony, the national flag covering the coffin, and the funeral of their loved ones? And let the family members outside the battlefield have flu tears?

What does the wand in the hand defend?

What are the sword blades of the warriors protecting?

For what?

Just to protect the nobles with fat brains?

Ahhh

At that moment, Hammer began to cry.

Those soldiers who are convinced of the honor of the warriors, the belief in the love of the motherland, and ride the griffin to the place of death in the afterglow of the sunset, and finally bury their bones in a foreign land, what do they finally get?

A qiē must be stopped.

Frank Hammer got up, it was already dark outside the window, and the thunderstorm was accompanied by lightning and thunder that would never be seen in this season, and the blue-white thunder illuminated a wedding ring, which, judging by its size, belonged to a lady.

"Barbara, I miss you so much...... There are some things I have to do, and while you're alive, I can't do them. ”

Gently caressing the ring with pity, Frank Hammer, the head of the Knights of the Golden Fleece, spoke calmly, his soft voice as if pleading, but also like comfort.

"I've tried everything, you know, the big guys in the office don't want to listen to me, they don't even want to look at the kids...... Hopefully this time it will get their attention. At all costs...... I hope you don't look down on me. ”

After kissing the ring, Hammer put on his uniform and walked out of the cabin.

Outside, the wind and rain were already raging, and the sound of the waves crashing against the surrounding cliffs made the name "Alcatraz" even more apt. The warriors who occupy the fortress under construction and the completed dock are like ghosts in the light of lightning.

After Charlemagne's discovery, this formerly uninhabited island was built into a small transit port, responsible for the turnover of all kinds of smuggled goods. After Prime Minister Richelieu decided to expand his overseas interests, he began a complete renovation, with the intention of becoming an important base for Charlemagne's navy, providing supplies and transshipment for warships and merchant ships that sailed here, as well as repairing and reconditioning ships. After V.E took over this business, it took less than a month to rely on a large number of construction equipment and human labor, and facilities such as fortresses and prisons began to take shape.

Today, Alcatraz is out of the control of Charlemagne's Kingdom and V.E. Company, and is under the control of General Frank Hammer, the head of the Knights of the Golden Fleece, and his fierce men, with all the workers in prison and all communications with the mainland cut off.

Speaking of which, although this is an important stronghold valued by Prime Minister Richelieu, it is still difficult for Charlemagne's navy, which is still under construction, to project forces here, and V.E is only responsible for the construction of the project, and does not pay much attention to security. In addition, until the moment before the attack, the Knights of the Golden Fleece were still friendly and friendly, and they did not expect that the Knights of the Golden Fleece, which are famous for their loyalty at home and abroad, would actually mutiny, and in a short time, the workers gave up their resistance and handed over the island to this group of fierce soldiers.

It was an outright rebellion, but it was nothing compared to what they were going to do next.

"The lighthouse is normal. ”

"The port is normal. ”

"The fortress is normal. ”

"The sewers are normal. ”

"The prison is normal. ”

The Magistenical Officers read aloud the reports of the various Alcatraz sentry posts and patrols, and every 15 minutes or so, the patrols and command were in contact to confirm the integrity of the defenses in order to prevent anyone from escaping or infiltrating the outside world.

The battle-hardened veterans have no complaints, they know very well what a dangerous situation they will face if they take action, and they must not be negligent in dealing with the high risks.

"Sir, it's normal to report everywhere. ”

"Very well, let the commandos hurry up and eat and take a nap, and check on the griffin on one side of the corral. Now it's just a matter of waiting for this damn rain to end and the boat passes by. ”

Walking into the command headquarters and flicking his gloves on the table, Hammer let out a sigh of relief, his eyes fixed on a sketch of a luxury air cruise ship.

The black and white lines outline the majestic body of a giant whale, the momentum of the sea of clouds is impressive, and the part near the bow is marked by the wing-like V.E company and the name of this ultra-luxury air cruise ship.

- Zeppelin. (To be continued......)

PS: Well...... When you see this chapter, you know that you are pinching him or something, and you have exposed your age. Back then, the Eagle Sauce Special Forces were pitted by rabbits, as long as you have watched "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year", you basically know what happened, hehe. Speaking of the pro-post book review area, add refinement, plus 15 points!
