Full Time Mage Lord

"Thank you, President" Hawke bowed again and left.

Since then, Hawke and others settled down on the uninhabited East Island and began to accumulate strength again. The reason why President Phelps sent Hawke and others to the East Island was mainly for prevention. The middle of the island is under the surveillance of President Phelps's daughter and his general Durang. In addition, the east island is surrounded by some small reef islands. There are many reefs and undercurrents around the island. The entire island has only one outlet to the sea. You must pass through the middle of the uninhabited island.

After Hawke and others settled down on Dongbian Island, the conflict between the Xingyao Empire and the Kosma Empire further intensified.

The reason is that after the Xingyao Empire helped the Xingyao Empire to wipe out Hawke and others, the Xima Empire did not withdraw its troops, but instead added 4,500 more troops.

Emperor Rulanda was very disgusted with this. He sent people to the Kosma Empire many times to negotiate the matter, but they were rejected by the Kosma Emperor. Emperor Rulanda had no choice but to convene a meeting with ministers to study and implement a series of bills. Limit the movement of the Kosma Empire troops in the Star Empire.

Not only does it not provide logistical supplies, it often organizes troops to disguise themselves as bandits, plunder the supply teams of the Kosma Empire, and arranges troops to monitor the situation of the Kosma army.

Seeing this situation, the king of the Waste Bone Empire sent people to contact the Kosma Empire and once again promised to equally divide the territory of the Xingyao Empire. At the same time, the Waste Bone Empire also bribed many ministers of the Kosma Empire to lobby Kosma. The king took action. Under such circumstances, the Kosma Empire finally agreed to join forces with the Bone Empire and was ready to take action.

After wiping out Hawke, Killian's position became stable again. After experiencing a period of stability, Killian took people out hunting that day, and happened to meet a captain and his entourage from the army stationed in Kosma who were also hunting.

Both sides saw a deer, and Kilian shot it with an arrow. The deer was caught by the captain of the Kosma Empire before it could run far.

When Kilian saw this, he argued with him. When Kilian saw that the opponent ignored him, he shot the opponent to death with an arrow.

After this matter was reported to the Kosma Empire, the Kosma Empire immediately sent people to contact the Desolate Bone Empire and sent troops to the Xingyao Empire. The Desolate Bone Empire sent Siegfried, the leader of the knights, Lin Mingwei, the leader of the guard corps, and the vanguard was the border guard. The commander of the army, Widley, had a total of 100,000 troops, known externally as 200,000 troops, to attack Rheinburg.

The Kosma Empire sent marshals Lampard, Henry, and vanguard Qi Dan to attack Stoke City with 60,000 troops and a so-called 100,000-strong army.

After Klin received the news about the operation of the Desolate Bone Empire, he flew a letter to report to the court, and at the same time organized the Star Glory Chapter to prepare for battle.

Siegfried ordered the border guard commander Widley to lead 50,000 troops to attack Rheinburg. Since Rheinburg had no solid defense facilities, the Rhineburg garrison general Carlos led his troops and had to lead his troops to start a fierce battle with the border guard commander Widley. .

Since Carlos only had 5,000 troops, he was soon killed by the border guard commander Widley and retreated back to the Luoshui Fortress on the border.

Siegfried soon led his army to arrive and met with the border guard commander Wedley. After carefully observing the Luoshui Fortress, he set up another camp.

The army of the Kosma Empire captured Stoke City in less than a day's fighting strength. The army is now stationed in Stoke City and is preparing to attack the next city, Araki City.

When Emperor Lulanda of the Star Palace received the news again, he was stunned for a moment. He immediately sent someone to convene a court meeting to discuss the matter, and ordered Lukaku to fully support Klin and do a good job in border defense. He ordered Xingmanghou Lucico Lin led the Xingmang Battle Group to support Araki City, and ordered Yaoming Lu Senbo to lead his troops to kill the Kosma Empire troops stationed in the territory.

While the Star Glory Empire war was in full swing, Hawke also began to re-develop his power on the East Island. The East Island was the less populated island among the uninhabited islands, with a population of less than 2,000. Everyone on the island was Making a living by fishing, President Phelps did not establish any administrative agencies or troops on the east island. The island falls under the jurisdiction of Rice in the middle of the uninhabited island.

Therefore, the island is inconvenient to enter and exit. Rice rarely visits the island. He only sends people to the island every three or five days to inspect and handle things, and sends a tax official every month to collect taxes.

After Hawke arrived on the island, he encouraged the people he brought to integrate with the local fishermen, and passed on his skills such as hunting, breeding, medical treatment, planting and other techniques to the locals, and learned from the locals to weave nets and fish. wait.

The people on this island have always been hostile to outsiders because of the discrimination of the island's president, and the people on the island are also unusually united.

Although they were very disgusted and indifferent to Hawke and others at first, Hawke learned from Baroque and continued to help them and taught them these techniques. Due to the location of the east island, these techniques were difficult for them. It is what is needed, people's hearts change people's hearts, and the selfless help of Hawke and others has also gained the favor and recognition of the people on the island.

Now, Hawke's status on the island is comparable to that of several elders on the island.

After Hawke gained the favor of the locals, he continued to teach technology and asked Rayam and others to teach the locals knowledge. At the same time, Hawke asked Tina and others to secretly search for people suitable for forming an army.

Spring turns to spring, and time flies. In the blink of an eye, Hawke has been on the island for more than a year. Over the past year, under the construction of Hawke and others, the east island has been different from the past. There are crops, vegetables, and other plants grown everywhere on the island. There are raised chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep, etc. The people on the island have learned to weave beautiful clothes. More importantly, the island has its own defense force.

Hawke selected 300 people on the island, and combined with the soldiers he brought about 500 people, formed a small army.

Moreover, Hawke and the people on the island have also opened up shipping lanes to trade with major countries. Their goods can be transported directly to major countries and at the same time, various goods are sold between major countries, which directly increases the income of the people on the island.

In order to avoid President Phelps's suspicion, he also regularly sent some jewelry and rare objects brought from other big countries.

In view of the fact that the island was of sufficient size and was facing war, he also encouraged the fishermen on the island to go out to sea and bring some capable, skilled or martial people to the island to escape the chaos. This greatly increased the number of people on the island from the original two thousand. To the scale of 10,000 people, these people brought a variety of technologies, which enabled the island's economy to develop rapidly, and Hawke also initially established an army of 10,000 people. At the same time, Hawke also selected many of these technicians to serve as local People built strong houses and various defense facilities on the island. They also made various weapons and powerful warships and merchant ships.

The development of Dongbian Island and the growth of Hawke finally made President Phelps unable to sit still.

Especially after knowing that Hawke's armed force was too powerful, he immediately sent someone to notify Rice and asked Rice to go check it out.

In fact, how could Rice not know about Hawke's rapid development? However, Rice did not dare to do anything without receiving instructions from her father. Although she sent people to the island many times to check, every time the people on the island were still the same as before. It was the same, there was no change, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

But she has always wanted to meet Hawke, because this man transformed Dongbian Island in just two years. The population increased tenfold, and Dongbian Island changed from a poor island to a wealthy island. Hawke is too awesome.

After receiving her father's order, Rice sent someone to notify Dongbian Island that she was going.

Originally, she did not need to be notified and could go directly to the island, but Hawke somehow convinced President Phelps that all ships that would go to the island in the future, whether warships, merchant ships or fishing boats, except those belonging to the East Island and the President War Except for ships, all ships need to be notified to the island. At the same time, Dongbian Island also has the right to accept or refuse these ships to land on the island.

Since the promulgation of this order, Hawke has not only established a strong coastal defense, but also strictly inspected the ships visiting the island. He claimed that due to the war period, he had to do this in order to maintain the tranquility of the island. This is not pure nonsense. Your island is among many It is in the middle of the island, and there is only one entrance to the sea. No matter how chaotic it is, they will not go to you first. Moreover, if the war is unstable, your ships will still run around all over the world.

After Rice's people informed Hawke, Hawke discussed the matter with the local elders and allowed him to go to the island. However, the elders asked Hawke to be brave and tell Rice not to think that they are always easy to bully.

Hawke was helpless. He originally wanted to restrain himself, but the elder refused. Moreover, after such a long time, the elder did not agree with him on this matter. Instead, he was resolute. Hawke had no choice but to follow the elder's wishes.

However, Hawke was finally called the real owner of the island this time, because after the elders agreed to this matter, these people stopped interfering in Hawke's affairs and supported Hawke even more. Unless Hawke requested it, they would never Not interfering with Hawke's regime.

Hawke had no choice but to make arrangements overnight, but he was affiliated with Rice, so on the surface he still had to do it, but he also strengthened his position.

On the second day, Rice's team slowly sailed towards Dongbian Island, approaching the mouth of Dongbian Island. There was another small boat waiting here. When Rice's team arrived, a man who looked like an officer on the boat, The order was given to him, and only one of Rice's warships were allowed to sail into the harbor. The other fleets were all waiting outside. Rice's deputy general and others did not obey, but Rice was surprisingly calm and said to the others, "I am no one." Chief executive of the central part of the island, are you still afraid of being hurt by your own people? Besides, how can this island compete with our Marine Fish Chamber of Commerce?"

When Rice arrived at Dongbian Island, he did not disembark at the previous port. Instead, he followed the guide ship and sailed to another military port. Rice was shocked when he entered the island because there was originally only one port on Dongbian Island. He did not know that When did Hawke and others widen the port and build a military port? Along the way, they saw the orderly flow of fishing boats and merchant ships coming in and out of the port. It was actually busier than the middle of the uninhabited island.

When he arrived at the military port, she was even more surprised. He didn't know that Hawke had built so many battleships. Many of the battleships were two-story luxury battleships. The battleships were covered with numerous artillery and arrow towers. If he really attacked his own battleship, it would be a disaster. Easy as pie.

Watching the small patrol boats coming in and out of the port, marching in an orderly manner and with a neat military appearance, made me feel even worse.

The Rice warship soon arrived at the port. On the ship, Rice saw many soldiers standing on the port, heavily guarded, and there were many officials greeting them at the exit of the port trestle. She thought that Hawke would be among these people after all, and in her heart He thought to himself, "How awesome is it, but you can't greet me personally."

When she came among these people with her escort, she almost jumped into the sea.

It was not Hawke who came to greet her, but Nancy and some of the island officials. This not only disappointed Rice, but also hurt Rice's self-esteem. The daughter of the president of the island, the central and eastern parts of the uninhabited island. The top administrator of the island, who himself controls an army of 20,000 people, went to inspect his subordinates, and found that his subordinates treated him like this.

She was a little annoyed at the time and asked, "Boss, why didn't Hawke come? What did he do? Did he despise the general?"

"Where, General Rice, General Hawke is dealing with some merchant matters. Besides, General Hawke has not been really appointed by the president, so he did not dare to come."

Nancy said slowly. Rice wanted to say something, but didn't.

Hawke, Hawke, you are cunning enough. It is true that my father has not really acknowledged you, but you are not acquiescing to it.

However, I really can't say it, because if I say it, wouldn't it be acknowledging his status?

So she walked forward angrily, then suddenly stopped and asked, "Why didn't the elders on the island come?"

"Due to their age, they no longer care about the affairs of the island. When they heard that you were coming, they were elected as representatives of the people on the island and are stationed to welcome you." Nancy still said calmly.

When Rice heard this, he didn't say anything. He boarded the bullock cart directly and went straight to the station under the escort of the island's army and his own escort. Since there are fewer horses on the island, oxcarts are generally used for transportation. This is much better than before. In the past, there were not even oxcarts, and everyone walked.

Along the way, Rice saw that the patrol officers and soldiers on the island were orderly and orderly. They had their own way to go, and there were sentries stationed at key places. As we approached the station, the number of people standing guard gradually increased. Their military appearance was strict and their postures were standard. At first glance, they looked a bit intimidating. How could my own army have such a style?

"General Rice, we're here, please get out of the car," Nancy came over and said. After hearing this, Rice slowly got out of the car.

"Meet General Rice!" Hawke, others and the elders saluted.

"Well, please get up!" Rice said, and she finally saw Hawke.

She took a closer look. Hawke had an average appearance and was a little thin. He should be about the same age as herself, around twenty-two or thirty.

Why is he so powerful? You must get to know him well.

Rice and Hawke entered the main hall of the station together. As soon as they entered the hall, they were shocked by his majesty. They felt that they did not dare to speak loudly. Around the hall, more than twenty tall soldiers stood upright, and their majesty was impressive. There is a feeling of not being able to get close.

Rice felt more and more like he was being conquered. Who was this Hawk standing in front of him? Why had he established such an army and style in such a short period of time?

Rice didn't think much, and went straight to the chair in the middle of the hall and sat down. Hawke and his elders sat down one by one.

"Hoke, you have contributed a lot to the development of Dongbian Island in recent years!" Rice said to Hawke.

Hawke smiled softly and did not answer.

"General Rice, Hawke has made great contributions to Dongbian Island. In the past two years, Dongbian Island has developed greatly with Hawke's help. General Rice should recommend to the president that Hawke be given an official position! "An elder stood up and said.

"yes!"

"It should be closed!"

Other elders agreed.

"I understand the intentions of the elders, and I will make it clear to the president." Rice said, "I have no other purpose in coming to this island. Because Dongbian Island has developed rapidly in the past two years, I just came here specifically to learn. Besides, , Dongbian Island is also under my jurisdiction, and I should come over to deal with some things on the island."

After hearing this, Hawke looked at Rice carefully. Rice had beautiful features, and her fair skin was as white as a water lotus. Her exposed row of teeth were as white as freshly peeled almonds. Her hair is as soft as willow silk, and her whole person exudes an elegant and noble temperament.

Rice was a little embarrassed when she saw Hawke suddenly staring at her, but her identity was here, so she still asked the elders to report on the situation on the island, and waited until the last elder finished.

She didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Everyone is tired today, so let's go back and rest. Hawke, please arrange a place for me to live. The general will stay here for two days."

"yes."

Hawke agreed and left the hall to make arrangements, and the elders also left in turn.

At night, the bright moonlight filled the entire island, and Rice sat alone in front of the window.

Why is he staring at me so much?

This man is so capable, what is his origin?

What kind of person is he?

Rice was thinking wildly and was a little bored, so she walked out of the residence alone. She wanted to go for a walk to get rid of the mess in her mind. The guard wanted to call the attendants, but she didn't let him.

As she walked on the island, she occasionally passed a group of soldiers on night watch who saluted her. She originally wanted to walk towards the port, but when she saw the bright lights on the other side of the port and knew that they were busy there, she turned around and walked towards the depths of the island. go.

Unknowingly, she came to a rock and saw a man sitting on a rock from a distance.

Who is it? Why is he there so late?

She walked over curiously, "Why are you here?"

Rice arrived and saw Hawke sitting there.

"I'm looking at the sea."

"Looking at the sea?"

"Yes, look at how big the sea is. I wonder what the people on the other side of the sea are doing now?"

"The people over there may be sitting on the rocks looking at the sea like you." Rice said amusedly.

Of course, they all know that the limit of human beings may be this sea, because no one has ever reached the other side of the sea.

"Do you like the sea at night?"

"I like it both day and night, but I have to face many things during the day and have no time to look at the sea with a truly peaceful mood. Therefore, I can only come out to watch it at night."

"Yes, we seem to wear many masks to treat different people during the day, and we have to deal with different things. Every day makes me feel that I am not myself. I can only find myself at night."

"Yes, people are so versatile."

"Yes, everyone has their own pursuits, but in the end they are all for profit."

"Actually, people do whatever they want for themselves. We cannot judge who is right or wrong."

"Yes, don't we work hard for ourselves every day? We are also chameleons."

"Chameleon, yes, but we cannot deny other things in human nature at once, such as loyalty, true feelings, love, and filial piety. There are many good people in this world, but we are in different positions and face different people."

"Well, Hawke, I didn't expect you to be so understanding of others."

“The more you experience, the more you feel.”

"Hoke, can you tell me about your experience?"

"all right……"

…

Hawke told Rice about his experiences growing up.

"Hoke, I believe you will find your parents." Rice said comfortingly. "Thank you, General Rice."

"Hoke, don't call me General Rice from now on. Just call me Rice."

"This is not allowed."

"Nothing is wrong, don't forget I'm still your boss now, you listen to me!" Rice joked.

"Okay." Hawke and Rice continued to talk. They talked a lot that night...

…

The next day, Rice left by boat and wrote a secret report to President Phelps. Soon Hawke was named General of the East Island and was responsible for all administrative and military affairs on the island, but he still relied on Sri Lanka jurisdiction.

After receiving this order, Hawke held the first relevant administrative and military meeting.

In the main hall, Hawke sat in the middle, and his former partners and recent major talents entered in order.

"See General Hawke." Everyone saluted forward.

"Excuse me!" Hawke returned and continued, "Today, our Dongbian Island's economy and military have developed to a certain extent. In order to further develop and strengthen the strength of our Dongbian Island, we have decided to establish a series of positions and responsibilities. , so that everyone can perform their respective duties in the future and work together for our East Island cause. Rayam will now announce your appointment status."

Rayam walked out of the train, walked to Hawke and saluted, then turned to face everyone. A deacon in the palace brought a booklet on a sandalwood plate. Rayam picked up the book and gently opened it and read loudly, “In order to jointly create the great cause of Dongdao, we have decided to establish the following positions:

The general manager of internal affairs, Dudek, is a wise man recruited by the Kosma Empire. He is well-read in the scriptures and once served as an official in the Kosma Empire. He is good at managing internal affairs;

Trunik, Deputy Chief of Internal Affairs, a Magi recruited from the Xma Empire;

Liya, the Chief of Internal Affairs, is responsible for the supervision of personnel, policies, and things on the island;

Lucio, the Censor;

Chief Financial Officer Hart, a wise man recruited from the Star Empire, is good at managing money;

Lim, the Director-General of Foreign Affairs;

Jasila, captain of the escort;

Captain of the Guards, Tina;

Staff officer Rayam.

The leader of the battle group, Zac commanded two thousand men to garrison the central and northern part of the island;

Mundo, the deputy commander of the battle group, led 800 people to be responsible for the security of the outer perimeter of the palace, while Munro, the deputy commander of the battle group, led 800 people to be responsible for the security of the main hall.

Scout Team Nancy leads 500 people to collect intelligence.

The above are the officials in charge——

"We accept the order." The officials saluted.

Since then, Hawke has had a complete set of political and military institutions to better promote its development...

…

The war between the Star Empire and Kosma and the Waste Bone Empire has broken out for more than two years. Due to the resistance of the Star Ray Chapter and the Star Glory Chapter, Kosma and the Waste Bone Empire changed their war thinking and moved from sea to Star Star. During the imperial attack, both sides had captured the coastal areas of the Star Star Empire and occupied most of the southern part of the Star Star Empire.

In order to quickly open a channel to attack the Star Empire, the Bone Empire spent a lot of money to purchase several more artillery ships from the Island Guild Leader.

On this day, the Bone Empire transported five artillery pieces to Siegfried's tent to attack Klin's defensive city. Although Klin's defense facilities were very strong, they could not withstand the attack of the artillery. Under the repeated attacks of the artillery, , most of the walls of Hawke's Luoshui Fortress were destroyed, and thousands of soldiers were killed under the attack of artillery.

When Siegfried saw that the city wall was destroyed, he ordered Captain Widley of the Border Army to attack Luoshui Fortress with 100,000 elite troops after twenty cannons were fired. At this time, there were only 30,000 people in Klin's Xinghui Regiment.

Captain Widley of the Border Guards had a violent personality and was also cruel. In the past two years, he had made many attacks to no avail, but he had suffered a lot of losses. In addition, during one attack, he was shot in the cheek by Colin's soldiers and fell from his horse, knocking him. He lost half of his front teeth and has yet to grow them all, so he has always been full of hatred for Kling's army.

Today was finally his turn to vent. He led more than 100,000 soldiers into the Luoshui Fortress, killing everyone and burning houses. Klin personally commanded the Xinghui battle group to fight with them, but they were helplessly outnumbered. Xinghui The battle group was still defeated, and Klin had to retreat in tears, while Border Guard Captain Widley led his men in hot pursuit. Thanks to Lukaku, he came out halfway and rescued Klin.

After returning to Stoke City, Kling counted his men. There were 30,000 Starlight Legion members, but now there were less than 10,000 left. Lukaku also lost more than 5,000 people.

The border guard commander Wedley chased for a while, and when he saw that he could not catch up, he led his people back to Luoshui Fortress. Although he occupied Luoshui Fortress, nearly two-thirds of his 100,000 people were killed or injured, and Klin was still Escaped.

So he ordered the city to be set on fire and destroyed. Luoshui Fortress, an ancient border city, disappeared in the five-day fire caused by the border guard commander Wedeli. Along with the disappearance of Luoshui Fortress, there were 20,000 territorial residents and two people in Luoshui Fortress. The bodies of the Wanxinghui Battle Group.

In the Imperial Palace of Starry Star, Prime Minister Manstein hurriedly walked towards Emperor Lulanda's study. The previous prime minister passed away eight years ago, and his eldest son was killed by Beerus and Kilian on unfounded charges. The second son Mandesa was demoted to civilian service by Emperor Ruranda due to the fall of Stoke, and has now lived in seclusion. Today, only the third son Rodwell is still an official in the court.

"Your Majesty, Luoshui Fortress has been lost." Prime Minister Manstein said in a panic.

"What?" Emperor Lulanda was stunned. Emperor Lulanda was old and his movements were slow.

"What's going on? Why didn't Klin... Why didn't he guard?"

"Your Majesty, the Desolate Bone Empire used artillery to open up the Luoshui Fortress. General Klin commanded the Xinghui Chapter to fight fiercely with it. However, we were defeated because we were outnumbered. The enemy, after occupying the city, actually regarded the lives of the people as trivial. , burn this city." Prime Minister Manstein cried.

"Then why doesn't Lukaku support?"

"Your Majesty, it was Lukaku who rescued General Kling. Now the two are surrounded in Stoke City, waiting for rescue."

"Save, how to save? There are urgent reports everywhere now, where are the troops to rescue? Xingmanghou and Yaominghou are both on the battlefield, and Ji Lian still has to protect the safety of the imperial capital. Where are the troops?" Emperor Lulanda He stood up slowly, spoke slowly, and then left the study, leaving only Prime Minister Manstein alone.

After the Desolate Bone Empire captured the Luoshui Fortress, it mobilized 100,000 troops from home, led by Davis, to attack other cities in the Star Glory Empire.

Siegfried faced the city of Stoke, which had a weaker defense than the Luoshui Fortress, and adopted the method of concentrating his forces to attack a small area. When Siegfried was fighting fiercely with Stoke City, Davis's army had already conquered several cities. Approaching the imperial capital of the Xingyao Empire.

At the same time, the Kosma Empire had launched an attack on Araki City. They also used artillery and as many as ten artillery pieces. Under the bombardment of artillery, Araki City was captured in less than a day. The Mang regiment fought a bloody battle with Trunik's 200,000 troops for a day.

Not a single member of the Phantom Corps, including Luciclin from top to bottom, escaped, and all died in the battle among the guards of Araki City. Trunik, Henry, and Pioneer Zidan also died in battle, as did 20,000 soldiers of the Starlight Chapter. He used his life to interpret the glory, and Trunik's army also lost nearly half of it. After occupying Araki City, Trunik did not adopt the policy of slaughtering the city like the Bone Empire. Instead, he ordered a lavish burial of the Starlight Chapter soldiers and appeased the people.

On this day, Crean and Lukaku discussed how to solve the siege of Stoke City.

"General Zheng, I think we should organize a part of the death squad overnight to destroy the artillery of the Bone Empire."

"General, I agree. While we are reinforcing our defenses, we should also prepare for an assault."

"We should move as quickly as possible. The enemies are already approaching the capital, threatening my father's safety."

"Our momentum may be over."

"Hey, if the second brother was here, maybe we wouldn't be like this."

"Yes, at least the Ashe Empire will help us."

"Now that I think about how to break out of the encirclement and rescue my father, the Xingyao Empire might..."

That night, Kling led some soldiers of the Star Chapter to descend from the city wall one by one under the cover of night. They successfully arrived at Siegfried's camp.

Suddenly, Klin felt something was wrong. Why was the barracks so quiet? No, he was fooled.

"Withdraw!" Kling shouted.

Before he finished shouting, countless people rushed in from all directions. Klin and his men were killing and retreating. More and more people were surrounding them, and more and more Klin's people fell.

Klin shouted, "Who betrayed us?!"

But what surprised Klin even more was that the flag of Stoke City had been changed to the flag of the Bone Empire. Klin seemed to understand. A surge of anger rushed into Klin's heart. He waved his sword and slashed at the enemy, fighting fiercely. Throughout the night, Klin escaped with his own people protecting him and fighting hard.

The once famous Star Chapter also disappeared.

Who betrayed Klin?

Of course it was Klin's good brother-in-law, the lord of Stoke City, Lukaku. In fact, he had been bought by the Bone Empire a year ago. At that time, the southern part of the Star Empire had been lost. The Empire promised that if Lukaku joined them, .

Not only did he continue to serve as the Lord of Stoke, but he also made him the king. The reason why Lukaku saved Klin at the beginning was because he wanted to repay Klin for his kindness. In the end, Klin could only lament, "There is no eternity." Love has only eternal benefits!"

…

Ever since Rice came back from Hawke that day, he couldn't get the shadow of Hawke out of his mind. Hawke was not very handsome, but during the long conversation that night, they were so in tune with each other, and he actually believed in his views so much. .

Finally unable to bear the longing, she decided to go to Dongbian Island again.

This time, he did not notify Hawke in advance and took his own ship with several personal guards. As soon as her warship sailed into the entrance of the East Island, she saw several patrol boats waiting there.

"General Rice, I have been waiting for a long time under the orders of General Hawke. Please come with me." After saying that, he ordered the ship to sail.

Rice's ship followed the patrol boat towards the port. Rice was surprised that I didn't let anyone notify me of my coming. How did he know?

How do you know that Nancy's intelligence agency is not in vain. As soon as she finished arranging the affairs on the central part of the uninhabited island, Nancy flew a report to Hawke.

This time was almost the same as last time, but the person who came to pick her up was not Nancy, but Rayam. When the oxcart entered the Dongbian Island Administrative Station, Rice saw that the administrative station had been renamed "East Island Management Station". Ling Fu".

This time, the ox cart entered the central hall directly from the side door, and the main hall was also changed to "Dongdao Hall".

Hawke led his civil and military officials to greet Rice outside the palace.

Rice saw that the civil and military officials were neatly dressed, and the soldiers on the island had also changed into blue clothes and armor. Rice admired Hawke even more, because the production of such uniform costumes in such a period of time must not be ignored. .

"General Hawke, I am just inspecting the public sentiment this time. You can do whatever you want to do as a director. I can also let this general learn from me!"

"How dare you invite General Rice!"

This time, Rice did not sit in the middle seat, but moved to a side position. Hawke did not say anything, but walked straight into the hall and sat down.

"Right now, the current chaos has affected the development of my eastern island. I don't know what happened recently. Let's talk about it and see how we respond." Hawke said to his civil servants and generals.

"General, in the past two days, we have received reports that our merchant ships were robbed while passing through the border of the Desolate Bone Empire. A total of two merchant ships were robbed in the past two days. During this period, a total of five merchant ships were robbed, three of which were from the Kosma Empire. The two ships were done by the Desolate Bone Empire, which caused our island to lose a lot of property, and more importantly, merchant ships from various countries were also worried about being robbed and moved to other places to trade goods."

Chief Financial Officer Hart came out to give a sermon.

"Where did they get such a powerful force? Aren't they always escorted by Alliance ships?"

Hawke asked pretending not to know. In fact, everything they talked about today had already been known and settled, but some things still wanted to be conveyed to President Phelps through Rice's mouth. On the one hand, Fei President Erpus knew what the Bone Empire and the Kosma Empire were doing. On the other hand, he also informed that his actions were legal because General Rice was present and did not raise any objection.

"General, the Bone Empire and the Kosma Empire purchased artillery from President Phelps, and they are very powerful." Dudek, the manager of internal affairs, said.

"Oh? Is that happening?" Hawke asked.

"General, why have you forgotten? At that time, the president also announced that the islands were not allowed to attack the warships of the two countries, and the general Shimaluo escorted the artillery. It was not the president who signed the agreement with the two countries, and the two countries were not allowed to attack our alliance with artillery. Any island, ship.”

Dudek, the director of internal affairs, replied.

"Well, then President Phelps knows about the robbery of our island's ship?" Hawke asked.

"I have reported it to the president, who is still discussing this matter. However, people have been sent to the two countries to negotiate the matter." General Rice replied.

"Oh, in that case, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, please inform the ships on our island to bypass the Desert Bone Empire route and shrink into the sea. The war group leader Zac, and the escort Jesse La, you two are responsible for the safety of this section of the route. If you are still attacked, you are allowed to fight back immediately without making any mistakes."

"Yes!" Zach and Jessela agreed.

"At the same time, starting from today, we will strengthen the security of the island and everyone will perform their duties. At the same time, everyone will go back and prepare for war to prevent sneak attacks from the two countries."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed and retreated.

After listening to Hawke's discussion, Rice followed Hawke to the study.

"Hoke, won't this cause a dispute?" Rice asked worriedly.

"Rice, you see, the two countries are busy at war now, and they dare to blatantly tear up the agreement with our alliance. If they don't fight back properly, then they will pacify the Star Empire, and we will be the next one in danger." Hawke He said pretending to be sad.

"Well, it makes sense. Besides, our alliance also has conflicts with the two countries. This time, for some reason, my father sold artillery to the two countries."

"Maybe the president has his own ideas, but we have to prepare in advance in case they suddenly attack."

"Yeah, Hawke, we can't do this. By the way, what do you think of me?"

"Hoke, in fact, I am also a daughter after all. No matter how strong I am in trying to win, I am still a daughter after all, and I also have my own love."

"Everyone has love, and everyone has a partner. I wonder who the general's partner is?"

Hawke looked at Rice and answered calmly and clearly, "I like you too, but I haven't found the whereabouts of my parents yet. How dare I care about my children first?"

"I can wait, Hawke. I am willing to go searching with you. I am willing to wait for you."

Hawke was speechless, just looking at Rice quietly...

…

Since Hawke and Rice expressed their love for each other, Hawke and Rice have become closer. Rice also promptly put forward Hawke's opinions to President Phelps and urged Phelps to President Xi Jinping stopped selling weapons to the two countries and prepared for war.

Rice also told President Phelps about his love for Hawke. Although President Phelps objected at first, he could not withstand Rice's persuasion and coercion and agreed to their relationship.

Just when Hawke and Rice were beginning to settle down, Star City, the capital of the Star Empire, was in trouble. The forces of the Kosma Empire and the Bone Empire had reached the foot of the capital.

Originally, Emperor Lulanda wanted to rely on Jilian's Starry Knights to resist, but as soon as the battle began, Kilian's army was defeated and fled, causing the last line of defense of the Starry Empire to finally collapse.

The capital of the Xingyao Empire is full of citizens and officials who are ready to flee. Emperor Lulanda is also sitting on pins and needles in the palace. He no longer has an army to resist the enemy. After several large armies have been destroyed and the country has been reduced, now only his own is left. The Imperial Guard Meteor Guards are resisting, and now they are only breathing their last breath.

He hasn't been to court for many days. Yes, why should he go to court? There is only one city left in the country, so what else is there?

The people can leave if they like, and the officials can surrender if they want. Even though he is so passive, there are still some people in the court who are unwilling to surrender and are still resisting. When they saw that Emperor Rulanda ignored the government, they encouraged Prime Minister Manstein Yin and Lord Abisa persuaded Emperor Rulanda to abdicate.

Prime Minister Manstein was helpless and came to meet Emperor Rulanda with everyone's wishes.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are still resisting desperately, you should give them some confidence."

"Resist? How long can we resist?"

"Your Majesty, our city wall is still high, and we still have enough food and grass in the city for one year. We will find a way this year."

"Think of a way? What way? If the second brother is here and he goes out to lobby several other countries, maybe we still have hope."

"Your Majesty, if Commander Baroque was here, we wouldn't be so quick..."

"Yeah, why is there so much noise outside?"

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are waiting for you to come to court."

"Who else?"

"there is none left"

"No? Where is the prince?"

"exist."

"Hmph, I understand. You can draft it for me and pass it on to Prince Beerus."

"yes."

After Beerus succeeded to the throne, he called himself King Beerus and actively organized resistance. He discussed the situation with Prime Minister Manstein every night. He just wanted to be the emperor for a few days and did not want the country to perish as soon as he took over. He did not want that. Bad luck.

At the same time, he ordered Jilian to be imprisoned in the sky prison. Although it was said that his command was improper, in fact, he was afraid that Jilian would have any ideas and harm him.

Hawke also knew that the Star Empire was in danger. Although he hated the great emperor of Lulanda, Beerus, and Kilian, after all, he also had the blood of the Star Empire royal family in his body. The two grandfathers Lucicolin and Lucembo fought On the death battlefield, Uncle Klin didn't know the news. As a royal member of the Star Empire, how could he stand by and watch, so he discussed with Rice and decided to send troops to Star Star to find his parents.

Rice urged President Phelps to let Hawke send troops. President Phelps finally agreed to Hawke's request, but did not agree to send troops to assist. He only allowed Hawke to bring his own military force. Rice also volunteered. Following Hawke, President Phelps only allowed Rice to bring 5,000 of his own troops, and he refused to send any more troops from then on.

Hawke did not feel that there were few soldiers. Hawke held a grand flag-sacrifice ceremony. He ordered the navy commander Li Weiluo to be the forward and the escort Jesilla to be the rear. He personally led the battle group commander Zach and the battle group deputy commander Mundo. , the deputy commander of the battle group, Munro, the commander of the scout team, Nan, the general of the internal affairs, Liya, the inspector, Lucio; the captain of the escort team, Jessela; the captain of the guards, Tina; and the staff officer Rayam are the central army.

Dudek was in charge of the administrative matters on the island, and an army of 10,000 marched towards the Star Empire.

Pioneer Leviro led five warships in the waters of the Star Empire and encountered the warships of the Kosma Empire attacking merchant ships. From the flag of the merchant ship, it could be seen that it was a merchant ship from the East Island, so he ordered an attack on the warships of the Kosma Empire.

Livero's battleships took advantage of the situation and lined up in a line, approaching the Kosma Empire's fleet.

After discovering this situation, the battleships of the Kosma Empire did not retreat, but instead sailed towards Livero. The Kosma Empire had a total of fifteen warships this time, five of which were much larger than Livero's. It can also be rammed into Livero's battleship.

But they ignored one thing. The artillery fire of the Leviro battleship was far superior to theirs. When the battleship of the Kosma Empire entered the range of the Leviro warship, the artillery of the Kosma Empire's warship could not hit Leviro, so a battle ended. The naval battle began with less victory and more victory. Livero took advantage of the fact that there were more artillery on the ship than the enemy, and ordered five warships to first open fire on the high-volume warship of Kosma, and one by one, they must be sunk.

When the Kosma Empire warships were still sailing at full speed and had not yet prepared their artillery, five warships were killed in the sea under two salvos from Livero in an instant. The commanders of other Kosma Empire warships were instantly dumbfounded. They suddenly panicked, and the warships were hiding in all directions. In fact, if they did not avoid but arranged their formation, they might still have a chance to fight. After all, with twice the ratio, their chaos just fell into Livero's trap. In an instant, ten warships reached the bottom of the sea. Find those five ships.

Li Weiluo became famous in the first battle. From then on, the warship made its way unimpeded to the waters of the Star Glory Empire and waited for the arrival of Hawke's large force thirty nautical miles away from the land.

On the second day, Huo Keshuai's large army joined Li Weiluo.

Hawke did not order an immediate landing, but conducted the first large-scale naval battle.

The reason why Hawke wanted to conduct a naval battle was because he wanted to clear the passage from his supply base to the Star Empire.

He divided his forces into two groups. One group was led by General Rice, who commanded the warships in the middle of the uninhabited island, and Jessela's troops to attack the Barren Bone Empire's warships, while he commanded the remaining warships to attack the Kosma Empire.

Hawke claimed that his warship was attacked by a joint warship of the Kosma Empire and the Bone Empire while on patrol. This was a signal from the two countries to declare war on him, and he had to resist.

For this reason, Hawke and Rice initially relied on their good warship performance and the power of artillery to keep the warships of the two countries close to the port and did not dare to fight. They captured several coastal cities and dismantled the coastal defense facilities.

The Kosma Empire and the Bone Empire were suddenly attacked by Hawke. They did not pay attention at first, resulting in the loss of several ports, the loss of nearly half of the battleships, and the destruction of coastal defense facilities, making the sea areas of the two countries directly open to the sea. The warships of any country can be captured at any time. For this reason, the two countries reunited to form a joint maritime team to counterattack Hawke's warships. The Kosma Empire sent eighty warships, leaving only five defense ships in the country. The empire also sent fifty warships, leaving six for defense. After receiving this information, Hawke had to join Rice and withdraw from the waters of the two countries. The joint warships of the two countries did not respond to Hawke's attack. Falling back and disbanding, they aimed at the total destruction of their warships.

A huge naval battle broke out between the two countries and Hawke in the Sea of ​​Stars.

Hawke knew that he was still unable to compete with the combined battleships of the two countries, so he secretly sent Rayam and Tina to the Ashe Empire, and Rice to the Island Alliance.

On that day, the weather was clear and the sea was relatively calm. The warships of the two countries rushed towards Hawke's warship in a cone shape. Hawke estimated that the enemy wanted to use fast boats to quickly attack his own fleet. While he was entangled with it, the other warships rushed towards him. The battleships quickly surrounded them.

Hawke immediately ordered all the warships to form an inverted triangle and retreat while fighting back. After receiving the order, Hawke's warships quickly formed an inverted triangle and surrounded Hawke's warships in the middle and retreated back.

In order to prevent the enemy from causing damage underwater, Hawke ordered the divers on each ship to go down and observe at any time. If necessary, the divers would attack the enemy ships from underwater.

After the enemy warships entered the shooting range, Hawke's warships began to fire at the enemy one after another. The clippers in front of the joint warships of the two countries moved quickly. Although they could be sunk with a few shots, there were still many warships rushing over and attacking them. To fight back, the two sides were in a melee. In order to prevent the joint warships of the two countries from forming a siege, Hawke asked the warships to reserve half of their firepower to attack the enemy's follow-up warships, especially the warships preparing to move toward its flanks. The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. During the fierce battle, several Hawke warships were sunk one after another. Hawke saw the reduction of his warships and the gaps in the defense line. In order to prevent being besieged, he ordered all the warships to be arranged in a line, and asked each ship to fight independently after being divided.

After losing nearly five clippers and one medium-sized warship, the combined team finally broke through Hawke's defense line and began to divide and destroy it. Hawke's fleet had been divided into several segments, and one of the three warships had been sunk. Hawke watched his fleet being surrounded, and slowly felt that he was so helpless. How could his second army be destroyed like this? Did you lose again?

Hawke's fleet was indeed tenacious in combat. Facing the besieging enemy ships, they did not flinch or surrender at all, and continued to fight back until the warship sank in the sea. In the blink of an eye, five more warships sank.

Just as Hawke was thinking about what to do, he suddenly saw the enemy ship beginning to panic.

It turned out that Rice persuaded his father to let President Phelps take revenge and dispatched more than 30 warships of the Island Alliance, led by President Phelps himself. Although the number of warships is small, they are all medium-sized or above warships with strong firepower. His warships form a flying geese formation to attack the joint warships of the two countries.

Although the two countries discovered and organized defenses at first, they both wanted to destroy Hawke's fleet as soon as possible, so there was no effective command at first. Therefore, under the attack of President Phelps, the combined fleet was a little chaotic and retreated. This gave Hawke's fleet a chance to breathe. Hawke quickly assembled his fleet and found that a total of ten battleships were sunk, five were severely damaged and could not participate in the battle, and only fifteen ships were left to continue fighting. Hawke ordered the five battleships to sink. The heavily damaged fleet withdrew from the battle and returned to Dongbian Island for repairs.

After President Phelps gave Hawke a brief supply, he continued to attack the United Fleet. After all, the United Fleet had more than a hundred warships. If there were too many ants, they would kill an elephant, let alone them. The Combined Fleet also regrouped during the retreat and formed a formation. The two sides fought each other. Chairman Phelps took advantage of the artillery and retreated from the range of the Combined Fleet to attack. The Combined Fleet saw its intention and on the one hand, it adopted tactics of sticking only, without Let the island fleet withdraw from its own range, and continue to use the tactics of harassing it with clippers in order to besiege it. The two sides became a melee in the sea.

Xingyao Bay also turned into a sea of ​​fire. In the middle of the melee, suddenly the rear of the United Warships was in chaos again. They were being attacked by the fleet. It turned out that Rayam and Tina were coming with thirty warships from the Ashe Empire.

This caused the combined fleet to be attacked from both front and rear. It originally wanted to besiege the enemy, but unexpectedly the enemy turned around and surrounded itself. The fleet was suddenly in chaos.

Why did the Ashe Empire come out to help? It turns out that Hawke asked Rayam and Tina to be lobbyists to persuade the Ashe Empire to send troops. Of course, in addition to taking advantage of the conflict between Ashe and the Desolate Bones, Hawke promised to capture the Desolate Bone Empire. All the seaport cities are handed over to the Ashe Empire as military expenses. Compared to the conflicts between the two countries, the Ashe Empire certainly prefers this huge benefit. Controlling the coastal defense of the wasteland is like controlling half of its economy.

The scale of this naval battle was unprecedented. Even the war on the Shenmin Continent a hundred years ago had never seen a naval battle of this scale. Thousands of warships from both sides fought in Xingyao Bay. Although the island and the Ashe Empire won the naval battle, this naval battle The losses are relatively large.

The combined fleet dispatched a total of 130 warships, 90 were sunk, 20 were severely damaged, 10 were captured, and another 10 fled back to other countries.

Among them, Xima's eighty ships were sunk, fifty were sunk, fifteen were seriously damaged, seven were captured, and eight escaped. Of the fifty ships of the Desolate Bones, forty were sunk, five were severely damaged, three were captured, and two escaped.

The Island Fleet had thirty ships, eighteen ships were sunk, and two were seriously damaged. The Ashe Empire had thirty ships, fifteen were sunk, and three were seriously damaged. Hawke's fleet had three ships, one was sunk, and one was seriously damaged.

After the naval battle, the island president led the ship and five captured enemy ships back, and Hawke and Rice reunited to land in the Star Empire. After escorting back five subjugated enemy ships, Ashe returned and quickly assembled the fleet, destroyed the last six battleships of Desolate Bones, occupied ten coastal cities, and rebuilt defenses.

Due to the impact of the naval battle, Kosma and the Bone Empire temporarily stopped capturing the capital of the Star Empire and tried their best to deal with their own coastal defense crisis.

After landing, Hawke organized an army to attack the armies of the Bone Empire and the Kosma Empire on the one hand, and organized conscription on the other. Hawke's team also continued to grow, and established a temporary capital in Ximu City in the south of the Xingyao Empire, and captured more than 20 large and small cities from the sea to the land. The nearby civil servants, generals, and local heroes of the former Xingyao Empire They all surrendered and formed an army of 50,000 people.

Hawke did not stay in Ximu City, but personally led his troops to attack other cities in the Star Star Empire.

Just when Luofeng City was being captured, Hawke's vanguard general Li Weiluo came over. "What's wrong, General Luo?" Hawke asked curiously.

"General, in the past few days, we have found a team that has been helping us attack the city. We asked about it and found out that it was a general from the Xingyao Empire. I don't know what happened today. The enemy actually tied this man to the top of the city and said that we If you want to continue attacking, kill this person."

General Luo said.

"Oh, let me go and take a look. Adjutant Yisu, you are more familiar with the situation in the Star Empire. Come with me."

"yes!"

Hawke and others came to the gate of Luofeng City. Hawke looked familiar, but he didn't remember it for a while.

"Adjutant Yisu, do you know this person?"

"General, this person is General Klin, the leader of the Star Chapter." Jessela lowered her head and replied.

"Ah?" Hawke was shocked. No wonder he looked familiar. Isn't this person his uncle?

After the Xinghui Chapter was betrayed by Lukaku, his uncle disappeared without a trace. It turned out that he was still alive. No wonder he felt familiar. Hawke didn't say anything, but turned back to Livero and said, "Order the troops to stop attacking the city. Pay close attention to the enemy's movements."

"Yes." Livero replied, and immediately issued the order.

Hawke and others returned to the tent, "General, I think we should save General Klin, because General Klin's appeal in this area is still very strong." Reyam said.

"Yes, General Klin, as the leader of the Star Chapter, is admired by the people of the Star Empire both as a person and as a leader of the army." Jessela also said.

"Everyone, I know all this. As my biological uncle, I can't understand Klin's character. But, how to save him now? Luofeng City is heavily guarded, how can he get in." Hawke said with a sad face.

"General, we can ask General Zach to lift the siege of this city and continue the attack, leaving only a part of the army to wait again and wait for the right time to rescue people." Reyam said.

"Well, okay, that's it. I'll leave the task of rescuing Nancy to you. I know some of your men have sneaked into the city."

"Yes, General, don't worry, I will definitely rescue General Klin." Nancy said.

Nancy had indeed sent 50 scouts to sneak into Luofeng City. Nancy also reminded of Hawke, but he only said there were five or six people.

On the second day, Zach lifted the siege of Luofeng City and continued to attack north. Hawke directed his troops to attack another city east, leaving only Li Weiluo to retreat a hundred miles to wait.

The guard of Luofeng City, Korobo, was also more cautious and did not send any people out of the city. After about ten days, he waited for Zach and Jesse to conquer other cities before sending people out to investigate. It is estimated that there are indeed no heavy troops. After the siege, he ordered his subordinate Da Gaole to go out of the city to ask for help. The defense in the city gradually relaxed. Nancy kept people watching, so Hawke continued to let Zach and Jessela move forward when there was no news from Nancy.

The defenders of Luofeng City watched Hawke's army retreat and became more and more relaxed. However, they were tired after several days of guarding, and their vigilance was not so high late at night.

Nancy felt that the time had come, and quickly reported to Hawke. Hawke immediately organized his troops and returned to surround Luofeng City. Nancy also sent all fifty of her masters to march at night into the city, and joined the original fifty people. They reunited and broke into the prison overnight to rescue Klin and others. When Nancy rescued Klin, the guard of Luofeng City, Kolobo, had not yet discovered it. After Nancy rescued the people, he immediately sent out a signal, and Hawke ordered people to attack the city overnight.

Zach and Jessela quickly surrounded Luofeng City, and Li Weiluo's troops attacked the main gate. The Luofeng City defender was so shocked by the sudden change that before he could react, he saw dozens of people climbing up the city wall.

Before the guard guarding the door could react, he was killed by Nancy's men. The door was opened, and Li Weiro took the lead and rushed into the city...

…

Clin and the other five people were arranged by Nancy to take a bath and rest. Clin knew that since they saved him, they would not harm him, so he ate something and fell asleep.

In my sleep, I felt like there was a siege going on outside, but I just wanted to sleep for some reason. Maybe I was too tired for so long. I was busy fighting and evacuating all day long, and I never had a peaceful sleep. Today I can finally sleep peacefully.

The next day, as soon as Klin and others woke up, someone brought in the washing water. Klin wanted to ask something, but these people just put it down and left quickly, leaving Klin confused. Klin called his companions up. Wash up.

"General, who are they? They are a bit strange." One person asked.

"Whoever he is, since he saved us, he will definitely not harm us." A tall and thick man said.

"That's right, how did you sleep?" Klin asked.

"I slept very comfortably. I haven't slept so soundly in such a long time." The first person said.

"Yes, I heard the sound of an siege last night, but I was just sleepy, as if I was dreaming, so I ignored it and fell asleep again." A fair-skinned man said.

"I seemed to hear it too, but I thought it was a dream, so I fell asleep." Klin also said.

While they were talking, someone brought breakfast outside and said, "Generals, please have your breakfast."

After finishing speaking, he exited. After Klin and others finished their breakfast, a man who looked like an army officer walked in.

"Generals, change your clothes."

Klin and the others took their clothes and put them on without speaking, looking at the officer quietly.

"Generals, please follow me," the officer said.

Klin asked as he walked, "I want to ask, where are we going?"

"Oh, I want to ask the general to meet our leader, General Hawke."

Hawke?

I can finally see you, my good nephew. I thought you would ignore the safety of the Star Empire, but I didn’t expect that you would actually lead an army to conquer the enemy!

Klin had always wanted to see what his nephew looked like.

After Klin and others got on the car, fifty people were immediately guarding the car. Klin looked from the car and saw that the fifty people around him were all cavalry. There were ten people at the front leading the way, thirty people in the middle guarding the car, and behind them Ten more people. The formation is very tight and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to this car.

Along the way, Klin saw soldiers coming and going, and some were injured. It seemed that they had just finished the war.

Krillin lowered the curtains.

"General, it seems that we are going to enter the city. It's really amazing. We captured Luofeng City in one night." One person said.

After hearing this, Klin said nothing and just stuck his head out. Many soldiers outside the city were cleaning up the battlefield and carrying corpses.

The gates of Luofeng City are also strictly guarded, with many soldiers guarding and patrolling the city.

There were patrols everywhere in the city, and Klin couldn't help but admire his nephew. After driving for a while, the car arrived at the General's Mansion in Luofeng City.

"General, please get out of the car." said the same officer from the morning.

Klin and others got out of the car. The officer who had just run quickly ran to the door of the general's mansion and whispered a few words to someone. He came back after a while and said to Klin, "General, the small task is completed, because there are other Military affairs, I cannot continue to escort the general, please forgive me."

After saying that, he took the people and rode away.

"You little kid, you are so rude," one person said.

"He may have something urgent," Kling said.

"Generals, please!" Another officer came over and said.

Klin followed the officer into the general's mansion and came to the meeting hall. He saw Hawke and others having a meeting. The officer who led the way did not let him wait, but took him directly into the meeting hall.

"General, the guests are here." After saying that, the officer exited.

Hawke stood up immediately, looked at his uncle, and finally couldn't help but shed tears. After so many years, he finally saw his relatives. Klin was the uncle who treated him best in Hawke's memory. After so many years, Hawke finally couldn't help but shed tears. In order to find his parents, Ke was strong in front of others and cried behind others. Who knew that he had been hoping to get help and support from his relatives for so many years, and the grievances he had felt for so many years finally came out with tears.

"Uncle. I am Hawke, I am Hawke." Hawke suddenly cried while hugging Klin and kneeling.

"Good boy, don't cry. You have suffered so much for so many years. Why don't you come to me? I have been looking for you everywhere. Every time I send someone to look for you after knowing your news, you disappear. You Why don't you find uncle? It's uncle's fault, he made you suffer."

Klin also knelt down and hugged Hawke and cried, "Uncle, I want to find you. I want you to help me find my parents, but I dare not go."

"Good boy, it's uncle's fault. Uncle didn't fulfill his responsibility." Klin didn't know what to say at this time.

Others couldn't help crying when they saw these two admired heroes crying like this. Rice couldn't stop crying. She didn't expect that Hawke actually needed someone to care so much. His superficial strength made her ignore it. his inner feelings.

After all, Klin and Hawke are heroes of the old and new generations. After the two comforted each other, Hawke introduced his people to Klin one by one. After seeing Klin, he also introduced his people to Hawke. It turned out that they were all It turns out that among the members of the Star Chapter, the fair one is called Spike, the tall and thick one is called Kevin, and the others are Roll, Kamian, and Antoun.

Hawke asked about Crean's family, who told him that Lukaku was imprisoned in Stoke City.

Hawke was very angry. For the sake of the overall situation, Hawke asked Klin to be the leader, but Klin disagreed.

After repeatedly giving in, Hawke was still the leader. Since Hawke joined Klin, many civil servants and generals from the original Xingyao Empire joined one after another, which also made Hawke's strength continue to grow, and soon he conquered most of the Xingyao Empire. city.

In fact, Hawke's victory was so smooth not only because of Krillin's help, but also because of the fire in the backyards of the Kosma Empire and the Bone Empire. Since Ashe occupied ten coastal cities of the Bone Empire, the Bone Empire launched After many unsuccessful attacks, he went to war with Ashe. At first, because the troops were concentrated in the Star Empire, the Bone Empire lost several cities in a row. However, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops from the Star Empire. The same was true for Kosma. The Haoyue Empire and Tianyang once again joined forces to attack the Kosma Empire on the grounds that it was attacking merchant ships at sea and land trade routes, forcing the Kosma Empire to also withdraw troops from the Starry Empire for defense.

On this day, Hawke's army passed through the original town of Huangshui. Hawke asked his uncle to lead the troops north, and he took his former companions and Rice to visit relatives. They arrived at the old site of Huangshui Town. The ruined houses here had long been demolished, and Huangshui Town was still empty. It seemed that the townspeople were still living in that valley and had not returned.

Hawke followed the road to his home, but his home was not as dilapidated as he imagined. Instead, there were signs of being cleaned, and there seemed to be traces of human activity.

Are they parents? Are they back?

Hawke and his partners searched the entire main town but found no one.

Hawke was a little sad. He came to his room. It was still the same as before. It seemed to have been tidied up. Hawke came to the desk, moved a chair and sat down. He looked at the original textbooks and recalled his childhood. His mother taught him how to read in front of the lamp, and his father taught him how to be a good person in front of the desk. As he thought about it, tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

Father, mother, where are you? How are you now? Do you know that your son has been looking for you for so many years?

Rice walked in at this time and saw Hawke crying again. Knowing that he missed his parents, he came over to comfort him and said, "I will find my uncle and aunt!"

Hawke raised his head, looked at Rice, and suddenly hugged Rice and started crying. When other friends heard Hawke's cry outside, they also cried silently. Uncle and aunt, how are you?

"Hoke, don't cry. Aren't you going to meet other people in the town? Your friends are still waiting to see their parents." Rice comforted Hawke. After hearing this, Hawke wiped his tears. Rice wiped them again with his own handkerchief and helped him adjust his clothes before Hawke came out.

"Let's go and see other people in the town. See the mayor's uncle." Hawke said to the others. The others said nothing and followed Hawke out of the main town. Hawke still looked back at his home after walking a long way.

Hawke and his friends walked on a familiar road. Perhaps because they were about to see their family, the friends gradually became a little excited and kept joking.

Two days later, they arrived at a hilltop and looked at the town in the valley. Finally unable to hold back their excitement, they quickly ran towards the town.

After walking a few steps, several people suddenly blocked the way, "Who dares to boldly break into Huangshui Town?" a voice shouted.

After a while, Hawke said, "Uncle Sam, is that you? Don't you recognize us? It's us. I'm Hawke."

"Hoke," the voice repeated, "Hoke, it's really you." "

"Yes, it's us."

"Ah, great, you come back. Hurry, tell the mayor and the people in the town that the children are back." After hearing this, two townspeople ran towards the town.

"Come here, let me see, Hawke, you, you have all grown up. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. What have you been doing in the past few years? Everyone misses you. Why haven't you come back to see me after so long? Bring a message," Uncle Sam said.

"Uncle, you still recognize us. We have been doing well in the past few years. In fact, we also want to come back, but we don't have time. We want to find someone to take the message, but we haven't found anyone from our town, and no one else recognizes us." Lei Yam said as he walked.

They talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the entrance of the town. Hawke and others saw that the mayor and everyone were greeting him outside the town. The mayor was old. In ten years, many people in the town had grown old, and so had their former partners. Big. "Uncle Mayor, we are back."

Hawke said and rushed towards the mayor, and other friends also ran to surround the mayor.

The mayor and everyone couldn't help crying. The mayor didn't know what to say. He just cried and said, "Come back, just come back. Go and see your parents." The mayor hugged Hawke and told the others Said."

Several other friends soon saw their parents in the crowd, and they ran over, hugging their parents, crying and talking.

A welcoming scene turned into a scene where family affection was vented, and the original smile turned into a cry.

Yes, children are still children when they are older than their parents. No matter how far they go, they will never escape the care of their parents. No matter where they go to the end of the world, they will always care about their parents and their home.

The mayor suddenly saw a girl standing in front of him. The mayor did not recognize this person in his memory, so he quickly asked Hawke, "Who is this girl?"

Hawke suddenly remembered Rice who came with him. Before he could say anything, Jasilla said, "She is Hawke's brother's girlfriend."

After hearing this, the mayor immediately smiled on his face and said, "Hoke, why didn't you tell me earlier? Girl, hello, you see we were rude just now."

Rice returned with a smile, "Uncle Mayor, where are you? I must be rude and did not take the initiative to salute the mayor uncle. Please forgive me." The mayor smiled and said,

"No, this girl is so smart, good, Hawke, you are lucky."

"Uncle." Hawke said a little embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, let's stop standing here, let's go home," the mayor said,

"By the way, we will have dinner in the town courtyard tonight to welcome the children home." The townspeople heard this and immediately went home to prepare.

The mayor and the parents of these children talked to these children in their respective homes about the pain of missing them and their experiences in the past few years.

In the evening, everyone had a great time at the dinner party and bonfire party in the town. Many people including the mayor were drunk, especially Hawke and others, because they would leave tomorrow and continue their journey north, so they were having even more fun at this time. .

The next day, the mayor brought the townspeople to see them off again. They didn't want the children to be separated so quickly, but they knew that these children still had things to do. There was no obstruction, just watching the Hawks leave at the entrance of the town and disappear into the mountains.

Hawke and others quickly met up with the waiting troops and continued to move forward. Hawke and Klin went north in two directions. Along the way, the locals heard that Baroque's son and Klin's troops were coming, and they all helped. The Kosma Empire Due to the withdrawal of a large number of troops from the Xingyao Empire, many cities were conquered with little effort.

Crean and Hawke met in Stoke City. Crean and Hawke surrounded Stoke City. At this time, there were only Lukaku's troops and a small number of Bone Empire troops in the city.

Hawke and Klin are too familiar with this city. Hawke first became famous here, and was hunted down for the first time. Klin was betrayed by his family for the first time, and the Star Chapter was destroyed. This is it too.

Hawke asked the troops to surround the city. Kling wanted to attack by force, but Hawke disagreed because Hawke knew that his uncle's family were here. Who knows whether Lukaku would kill them if he attacked by force.

After Hawke discussed with Klin, Klin led some troops to attack Luoshui Fortress and Rhineburg. Klin quickly attacked Luoshui Fortress. This city only had a few broken stones and tiles left, and the city was no longer called a city. , Klin saw that this century-old city had turned into a pile of rocks.

There was an indescribable pain in my heart, and there were not many enemies in Rheinburg, so Klin quickly regained these places. Perhaps the border guard commanders Widley and Siegfried did not expect Klin to come back again, so these places There is no defense at all.

Hawke continued to besiege Stoke City, still adopting the method of rescuing Colin, leaving a small number of troops behind, and continued to march towards Star City with his own troops.

Lukaku looked at the departing Hawke's troops and couldn't help but admire in his heart that a frivolous child at the time was now the leader of a million-strong army and was able to regain the lost territory. He regretted that he should not be greedy for a moment. Read, let yourself not know what to do now.

Many people under Lukaku were originally disgusted with Lukaku's original rebellion, but they had no choice but to do so. Now that Klin is back and the Star Empire is about to be recovered, they cannot continue to follow Lukaku to cause trouble, otherwise they will not After thousands of years of infamy, they decided to revolt, and they passed the message to Hawke's troops outside the city.

Nancy was left behind at the time. After Nancy received the information, she immediately reported to Klin and Hawke. Klin immediately led his troops back, and Nancy ordered someone to contact the person in charge of the uprising.

Nancy followed Hawke's request and first rescued Clin's family and attacked the city overnight. After discussing with the rebels, Nancy selected a time.

Klin also came to ambush outside the city at the agreed time. People in the city rescued Klin's family at night and released them from the city wall. Then they raised fire as a signal. The rebels in the city quickly captured the city gate. Klin led his troops Quickly attacking the city, Lukaku was awakened at this time and immediately organized a defense. He also ordered his family to prepare to escape. The princess of Emperor Rulanda had committed suicide when Lukaku betrayed her. The current wife is Huang Introduced by General Siegfried of the Bone Empire.

At this time, Klin thought of the destruction of the Star Chapter, and was filled with anger. Spike, Kevin, Rohr, Kamian, and Antuen who protected Klin and escaped together were needless to express their anger. They were They cut down people when they saw them, and Klin and others were like tigers descending from the mountain. Lukaku's troops were like a group of sheep at this time, with no fighting power, and they were retreating steadily after being killed by Klin.

At dawn, the battle was over, and Crean successfully captured Stoke City. Unfortunately, Lukaku and others escaped, and Klin was very angry. While letting Spike and Kevin pursue them, he asked Rohr, Kamian, and Antoun to clean up the battlefield and appease the people.

Klin reunited with his family at Lukaku's house and expressed the pain of missing him. When it came to letting Lukaku escape, Klin and his family were all sad. Suddenly someone came to report that General Nancy had come to see him.

Klin immediately ordered someone to come quickly, and Nancy came in and saluted Klin, "General, it's time to be polite."

"Haha, General Nancy, you're welcome, come and sit." Klin returned with a smile. "General, congratulations on your family reunion."
