It was no longer the large hotel of the port city, but a nearly closed room, with only a small round window shining in a bright light.

The furniture and the wood panels on the walls are painted in bright clear paint, but they seem to be damp and dark.

The furnishings are quite comfortable and elegant, but the space is not large, and there are no superfluous decorations and oil paintings, which are not simple or luxurious.

There was a fresh smell in the air, the smell of the sea, stronger than what you had smelled in the port city, as if the sea was right in front of you.

Yun'er suddenly remembered something, and quickly jumped up and leaned in front of the small closed window to look out, not even bothering to put on her shoes.

The view from the window made her despair, because there was nothing but a sea of white spray.

The sky was a little overcast, and it seemed like it could rain at any moment, just like she was feeling at the moment.

She turned her head to look at Alexandra who looked worried, and it wasn't until the other party nodded that she collapsed on the bed in despair, her thin hands clutching the quilt tightly, burying her head, and her small body trembling slightly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the hatch of the room, and Lynch walked in with food, just in front of Yun'er.

Yun'er groped for her lower back, but didn't find her personal dagger, so she rushed over like a little leopard, her sharp nails grabbing at Lynch's face, and her lips biting tightly.

The food in Lynch's hand was scattered all over the place, and he dodged Yun'er's claws sideways, and pinched her arm somewhere with his hand, and Yun'er suddenly half of her body softened, and if it weren't for Alexandra's quick hand to come up and hold on, she would have fallen to the ground.

I can't see that Lynch, who has always been polite and polite, still has such skills, you must know that Yun'er, a little wild girl, has killed Lin Cat in hand-to-hand combat.

But there seems to be nothing strange about his status as an awakened person as a bishop.

Yun'er was hugged by Alexandra and sat on the edge of the bed, glaring at her uncle coldly, and asked, "Why?"

Lynch smiled wryly and gave Alexandra a look, who sighed, let go of Yun'er, and walked out.

said in his mouth: "You uncles and nephews have a good talk, don't do it, I'll call someone to come and clean up, and then go to the restaurant to see if the soup is ready, Xiaoyun has just woken up, and he is still a little weak." ”

Yun'er rubbed her sore arm, her originally beautiful big eyes full of resentment, waiting for the other party's answer.

Lynch sat down on the couch, poured Yun'er a cup of tea, and didn't care whether she drank it or not, and said, "I know you're going to hate me, and I've known it since the day I persuaded you to leave Gokan City."

It seems like I'm playing the role of a bad guy in this matter, so I'm not going to ask for your forgiveness because I know what I'm doing.

Everyone is making their own choices, and so are you.

Whether you hate me or not, I have a clear conscience because that's what I'm supposed to do as an uncle. ”

Yun'er's sour half of her body finally recovered, and she ignored Lynch, got up and walked out.

But no matter how hard she tried, the hatch didn't move, as if it had been locked from the outside.

Yun'er's irritable mood seemed to be a little hysterical, her hands and feet slapped and kicked the hatch vigorously, and her mouth also let out a whining cry, until she was exhausted, she fell to the ground along the hatch, hugged her head and cried.

She didn't say it, and Lynch didn't explain, but they both knew it was too late.

This is the middle of the vast sea, and even if you jump into the sea, this big ship that has been sailing for an unknown amount of time will not stop or turn back.

Yun'er is crying for her love, and Lynch is drinking tea expressionlessly, but he can't taste the usual sweetness.

He didn't regret it, but for the first time he didn't know whether what he had done was right or wrong.

There is no woman in his life, only a love that has been hidden in his heart for many years, a one-sided love that should not even be known to the other party.

So he doesn't understand feelings, at least he doesn't understand how fierce and dizzying the love of young people is, and how painful Yun'er and the boy are at this moment.

He only knew that as an uncle and an elder, he needed to play such a negative role and make a decision for her.

Although he temporarily stimulated Yun'er with Sophia's matter that day, he underestimated this childhood sweetheart's first love, and he didn't expect that this would stimulate Yun'er, and secretly ran to the temple, hoping to get in touch with the Lion Castle and confirm the safety of that person.

This sudden change disrupted his plans.

Lynch naturally knew about the news that the proud son of the sky was accidentally lost in the wilderness, and thinking about the other party's itinerary, it was naturally not difficult to guess why that kid went there.

If Yun'er knows all this, I'm afraid his efforts will be in vain, because if it were him, he would not have chosen to leave and become a betrayer in this stormy time.

So Lynch let his guard leader stun Yun'er cleanly, and used the tranquilizing drug to keep Yun'er in a state of sleep until today, three days after going to sea.

So, there was today's conflict, and he also came over with time according to the amount of drugs he had given.

"That injury two years ago caused some damage to your soul, otherwise it would not have been possible to awaken now.

Those tranquilizing incense are harmless to the body, but can consolidate your realm and make your spiritual power fluctuations more stable. Lynch explained.

But Yun'er just buried her head in her knees, her slender body was wrapped in a ball and weeping, not paying attention to what he said.

Lynch was not embarrassed, and sat there drinking tea until the whole pot of tea was drunk, and then he spoke again: "Son, I know you want to ask why."

Now, sit down with me, and I'll tell you everything.

But you have to promise me to go home and look at your gray-eyed parents, and look at the land that gave birth to you and raised you.

Life is not only about love, but also about family, responsibility and ideals, don't be closed by the predicament in front of you.

You're only 20 years old, and you still have a long, long way to go.

The voyage will take at least five months, and even now that the stormy sea is in a period of rest, there will be huge waves, and I hope you will get a sense of life from this ordeal.

What's more, your parents are old, and the war and illness have left them in poor health, and I am afraid that there are not a few years left.

Alexandra's body could not withstand the continuous turbulence, and she needed at least a year or two of recuperation after coming ashore.

Therefore, as children, you should accompany them, at least to draw a perfect end to their lives, and not regret it.

By that time, the hidden dangers in your body should be almost adjusted, and no matter what choice you have, I will not stop you. ”

Yun'er stopped crying, not completely moved by Lynch's words, but stood up numbly and sat on the sofa, more than a meter away from Lynch.

The original cute and clear fawn eyes are now chaotic, and there is a hint of coldness, looking at his uncle.

After a quarter of an hour had passed, Alexandra, who had returned with the tonic soup, heard a terrible scream from the room, followed by Yun'er's howling and crying.

The voice seemed to be sad and desperate to the extreme, as if it was not something that a normal person could make at all, and she had never heard Yun'er so sad, not even the last time she fell ill because of longing.

She hurriedly opened the door, looked at the mess on the ground and Yun'er kneeling on the ground, her heart was on fire, and she poured the whole pot of hot soup on Lynch's body.

Then he hugged Yun'er's limp body, and kissed her lightly on her long black hair while stroking and comforting her.

Lynch was so hot that he couldn't even maintain his elegance for the first time, and took off his clothes in front of Alexandra, but looking at the two women who were crying together, he didn't dare to scold after all, and walked out disgraced.

Originally, he wanted to continue to use the reduced tranquilizer incense to help Yun'er get through this difficult time.

But he didn't expect that early the next morning, Yun'er took the initiative to appear in front of him and said, "I want to become a medical priest, and the road is very long, let's start now." ”

Lynch was stunned for a moment, but it was okay, although he knew what the little girl had in mind, it was a good thing to have an obsession in his heart, at least to support her through this long journey.

And there is one thing he lied about, as long as his brother's body is well conditioned, it is still possible to hold on for more than ten years.

The years are merciless, as long as you return to the hometown of the twins, time will erase everything that was originally profound.

In the Red Moon Pass, the southern defense line of the Wardsman Empire, Matthew gritted his teeth and pulled out a sharp beast tooth that pierced his leg armor, released dirty blood, and plugged the wound with gold sore medicine.

Until he stopped bleeding outward, he put a bandage on him with Raven's help.

Then the two of them swapped places, and Raven also had two sores on his left arm and back, and half of his left ear was torn off, leaving a hideous notch.

The offensive and defensive battles on the city walls were so fierce that the steppe people attacked almost day and night, exhausting all the imperial soldiers.

At night, spiders silently climb the city, during the day they fall from the sky with claws and sharp beaks, and panthers leap up the city walls.

The three team leaders, including Willy, had already collapsed, his entire lower abdomen rotten, and even his intestines had been pulled out.

Although he was rescued in time and sent back to Gaokan City, it is still unknown whether he will survive.

The only good news was that the second-line division in the rear had been supplemented with a full-fledged brigade, and it was rushed to the city wall without even training, and the second line of defense under construction half a kilometer behind the Red Moon Pass was about to be completed.

To be honest, at this moment, even Matthew himself felt that it was a miracle that the dilapidated city under his feet could hold on until now, and it was normal for it to collapse at any time.

But that son of his own is really powerful, thinking of that handsome little face, as if he was still a little ball of meat being held in Catherine's arms just yesterday.

Not only did he wipe out hundreds of thousands of steppe people with a group of hastily integrated rabble, but he also cut off their support and liberated Tieyan Pass, and now he is rushing to this side with tens of thousands of troops.

As a father and a general, what reason could he not be proud.

I just hope that the boy will not be carried away by the victory, at least ensure his own safety, and save Catherine from being frightened in the city of Gokan.

At this moment, a report came from his ear: "My lord, this is a summary of the military report as of noon today, do you want to listen to it now?"

"Read. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Wait, just read what is relevant to us, and don't use anything else. ”

"Yes. News came from the division headquarters that your application for promotion to viscount had been reported to the imperial capital.

In addition, reinforcements from the town of Iron Mountain have already set out and will arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

There is also the investigation of Tieyan Pass and learned that the troops led by Philip have annihilated the 120,000 troops of the Prairie People, broken through the tributaries of the Sorens River, and are less than 100 kilometers away from our Red Moon Pass. ”

"Where's the bad news?"

"Except for the Red Moon Pass, the grassland people have infiltrated the pass from four medium-risk areas, and the patrols behind have fought back for three rounds of attacks, but due to the limited strength, the soldiers are very tired, and I am afraid that they will not hold out until sunset tomorrow. ”

Matthew interrupted the other party's report and asked, "What about the reply from the military department, no reinforcements have arrived in the short term?"

"Yes, a conservative estimate is at least fifteen. ”

Matthew nodded and didn't speak again.

The title of viscount is the proper meaning of the question, not to mention that his merits have long been enough, just to say that the second-line brigade has been replenished, is it still necessary to let him obey the command of the other party?

The superdivision in Iron Mountain Town was all heavily armed and elite, extremely good at defense, and even he was envious of the sophistication of weapons and armor.

Although there are only 3,000 people, the actual combat effectiveness is even much stronger than the entire second-line brigade that has just been replenished.

He applied to the military headquarters of Gaokan City for a long time through the Wild Lion Division but did not get approval, but this time he took advantage of his son's light, and the great victory at Tieyan Pass finally made the military headquarters relent.

Speaking of which, he had to admire the open-mindedness and generosity of the Marquis of No.

Hongyue Pass was originally the defense of the Rock Division, and it was an exception to allow him to lead troops into the pass to meet his son, and appointing him to command the entire defense was like a fantasy in a peaceful year.

Of course, Matthew knew that in addition to Marquis Nou's faith in his father Brad, it was also related to his son's outstanding achievements, and it was also because the entire huge defense area of the Rock Division was already facing the embarrassing situation of having no soldiers to send.

Rather than this, it is better to sell his favor to the Snape family, anyway, legally he, the lord of Gaokan City, the leader of the Four Masters, has every right to transfer and appoint generals in any defense area.

This would also allow Matthew to deal with the brigade commander of the second-line division that had been replenished from the rear, and he would have a lot less trouble.

However, Marquis Nuo was too worried, and the second-line division that came with such rapid reinforcements naturally had a close relationship with Gaokan City and helped each other.

And now the brigade commander who is replacing Matthew to command the defense on the city wall, and Matthew personally invited him, Albert, his classmate when he was studying in the imperial capital, is also a good buddy.

There is one thing that even Catherine doesn't know, Matthew even almost became Albert's brother-in-law, and if it weren't for the fact that he met Catherine when she sent her sister Vivian to get married, maybe there would be no Philip Shoes now.

Putting down the military report, Matthew tied the bandage for Raven, although he only had one hand, but after so many years, he had become accustomed to it, and that prosthetic leg had been used by him extremely flexibly.

"Let's go up and take that fat man down. ”

Outside the Red Moon Pass, in the mountains, the army led by Philip successfully crossed the tributary and continued to march eastward.

Perhaps because of the heavy losses in the previous fire, the steppe people did not have time to mobilize more troops to block the riverbank, and Philip used a simple plan to establish a assembly point on the east bank of the river, and then swept the peak and made dumplings for more than 40,000 steppe people.

The main force of this meritorious service was the Lunbo Legion led by Murphy, and the fire burned everything down, which made him feel distressed for a long time, until this time he intercepted a large number of bows and arrows and leather armor, and completely armed the Lunbo Legion.

After these two battles, not only did they wipe out a large number of troops of the steppe people on the eastward march, but also ran in the various units that were hastily integrated, especially the 1,200 Wardsmann Empire soldiers of the Chinese army.

Although they belong to different divisions and regiments, they know that there is no competition between them, so whether it is Johnson and other officers of the new generation, or those veterans who have been promoted in the line of fire, there are no complaints.

One was hungry for learning, and the other was holding the score of his predecessors with peace of mind, and soon this army showed a new style.

Even if there were still some immaturity and flaws, Philip was already satisfied, and with the support of the Maga Regiment and the Personal Guard, he did not have that rusty feeling when he controlled this army.

The steppe people underestimated them in the end, so they suffered a big loss in the blink of an eye, but Philip didn't dare to underestimate those steppe wolves, especially the total strength of more than 2 million in the intelligence and the tens of thousands of Axun regiments under Mingge, so he had to be 120,000 careful.

Fortunately, after several rounds of strikes, more than 200,000 elite steppe people have been wiped out one after another, and 300,000 have been placed in the special terrain of the Merlin River Valley for blockade, so Philip now estimates that Mingge's available troops are less than 1.8 million, not counting the losses under the Red Moon Pass these days.

But whether it is 2 million or 1.8 million, it is not something that his current strength can gnaw, even if it is 1.8 million dolphins, it will take a long time to cut them all.

To be honest, if he wants to rush to the aid of Red Moon Pass smoothly, what kind of strategy should he use, he still doesn't have a mature plan.

Fire attack is not advisable, this is simply Pandora's box, even if it snows, but it stops quickly, and the temperature does not drop significantly.

And the water attack is even more impossible, the steppe people are not so stupid, sitting by the water waiting for you to launch a flood, and with the current temperature, most of the river water has gradually frozen, and the water volume has plummeted.

Do you use poison, it has always been the grassland people who are better at making and releasing drugs, and detoxification is naturally a good hand, and Philip doesn't want to make an axe in this regard.

In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of troops, if the nearly 100,000 people in Philip's hands are all soldiers of the Waldersmann Empire, no, even if there are only half of the 50,000 people, and there are 10,000 heavily armored knights in them, he will dare to collide head-on and fight the steppe people head-on.
