When Windshadow Craze was arranging the layout of the two garrisons, he placed his tent together with the tent of the Mad Squad, which only had 800 people left, and built a fence around the tent. This wasn't just because he needed to conduct the second phase of training for the Mad Battle Team, but also because there were some things he didn't want outsiders to know. The only people he could trust were the 800-odd members of the Mad Battle Team and Luo Lina, whom he treated as his personal belongings.
According to Windshade Craze's theory, the entire 17th Division began to retrain according to his requirements. Other than the 800 soldiers of the Mad Battle Team, only Luo Lina, who had been with Windshade Craze for the longest time, truly understood the meaning of this training. Therefore, after Windshadow Kuang left, Luo Lina naturally shifted her attention from serving Windshadow Kuang to the training of the 17th Division, while her position as the commander remained. In Luo Lina's heart, this was her and Windshadow Craze's little world. This place contained her beautiful memories, so she did not want to move out of here.
Since the establishment of the garrison fortress, Luo Lina had been living with Windshadow Craze, and her personal guards had naturally been in a state of " half-employment." When Feng Yingkuang embarked on a journey to find the Dragon Clan alone, Luo Lina summoned her personal guards back to her side.
This wasn't because Luo Lina didn't believe in the abilities of the Mad Battle Team. On the contrary, perhaps in the entire Roste Continent, no one knew better than Luo Lina about the combat abilities of the soldiers trained by her lover. However, as a general, Luo Lina was also a woman. In many cases, only women could help with women's matters. More importantly, Luo Lina was far more familiar with her personal guards than the Mad Battle Team. Thus, Luo Lina had expanded the area of the fence that Windshadow Craze had drawn earlier by more than two times. The commander's tent was still placed in the middle of the fence, and Luo Lina had built another fence around the tent. On the outer layer, her personal guards had replaced the original Mad Battle Team, and further outside were the 800 or so Mad Battle Team soldiers that had been replaced.
The Mad Battle Team was responsible for the outermost layer of defense, while Luo Lina's hundreds of personal guards were responsible for the second layer of defense. There were wooden fences separating each layer of defense and setting up a magic defense barrier. At the periphery of the entire defensive circle, Luo Lina had the soldiers build a two-meter-tall wall with mud and wood. It was only at this moment that the defensive circle that Luo Lina had named "Wind Shadow Castle" had truly begun to take shape.
A group of young girls had joined. Although they had also experienced the war of blood and fire, although they had also experienced the sorrow of life and death, they were still a group of young girls. In their hearts, they still retained the feelings unique to young girls. As a result, the girls 'bright joy replaced the rigid silence of the Mad Battle Team, adding a lot of liveliness to the surroundings of the commander's tent. However, this morning, these happy laughter had disappeared, and the entire commander's tent was under heavy pressure.
Sixty-six cold corpses were neatly placed in the open space in front of the commander's tent. The not-so-big open space was filled up. Luo Lina's personal guards could only whisper outside the wooden fence. The 800 members of the Mad Battle Team followed Luo Lina's orders and guarded outside the Wind Shadow Castle, forbidding anyone from entering. The only people who followed Luo Lina were the two squadron leaders who were involved.
Sixty-six lifeless bodies lay quietly on the ground. Their expressions were calm and their clothes were neat. It was obvious that they did not resist or fight before they died. They died quietly. However, if one were to observe them carefully, one would discover that under their eyes, which were devoid of pain, there was a deep emptiness, a blank emptiness without a trace of emotion.
"Give them a military burial and let them return to the priest's side. They were the warriors of the empire, the pride of the empire!”Luo Lina put down the uncovered white cloth. She was a little depressed and sorrowful.
"Yes, my lord." The captain of the 7th Company of the 2nd Company, Denard, replied in a deep voice. Those lying on the ground were his direct subordinates.
Sixty-six soldiers were all killed with a single slash, the long and thin blade wound around half of their necks. Moreover, there was no blood around the wound. It could be seen that when the enemy attacked, the movement of the blade was abnormally fast without any delay, causing the blood to quickly coagulate and not spurt out. This was a group of highly skilled and professional killers. The corpses placed on the empty ground were carried out of the garrison fortress by the personal guards in pairs. Luo Lina brought the two Company Leaders into the commander's tent.
"Sena, did you only discover these sixty-six brothers?”Luo Lina sat on a chair and asked the captain of the 1st Company of the 2nd Company. The bodies of these dead soldiers were found by his company when they were patrolling.
"Yes, sir. After we found the bodies of these brothers, we conducted a carpet search within a three-kilometer radius and found nothing else.”Sena answered with certainty.
"Did you find anything else?" Luo Lina muttered to herself as if she was calculating something. Luo Lina looked up at Denard." Did your 7th squadron lose a 100-man squad?”
"Yes, sir. There's no news from the tenth squad below the captain.”
" Thirty-four…sixty-six…that's exactly a hundred-man team…" Luo Lina muttered to herself." You two can leave." I hope that what happened today will not be spread out of the Wind Shadow Castle. Make your soldiers keep their mouths shut. Otherwise…don't blame me for being merciless!”Luo Lina's voice became very stern when she said the last sentence. As if she was afraid that the two subordinates in front of her would misunderstand the meaning of her "ban", she added,"This is an extraordinary period. We have to treat it differently. The morale of the soldiers has just changed. We can't use this news to attack them anymore. We can't afford to lose. I hope you understand.”
"Please rest assured, sir. We know what to do!”
"Alright, I hope you remember what you said today. As for this 100-man team…Denard, tell your team members that they have been sent to Ter to carry out a reconnaissance mission. After a period of time…he would give them the title of Empire Warrior. You guys can leave!"
When the two Company Leaders walked out of the commander's tent, Luo Lina collapsed weakly on the chair. There was no other moment where she missed Windshade Craze more than now.
"Milord, news of the Moonblade has arrived. Our plan is going smoothly. As you said, she is not only a very beautiful woman, but also very capable in some aspects.”It was a very gentle female voice wearing a maid's uniform. Anyone, even if they didn't know the appearance of the owner of this voice, would be moved by her voice as long as they heard it. Endless fantasies were accompanied by an unwitting fall.
"Is that so? Hehe, I rarely make mistakes, don't you think so?”The person with her back to the maid was a woman, a woman who exuded an extremely noble aura. If the voice just now could make people fantasize, then this voice could make people submit. This was because there was a noble dignity in these ordinary words.
This was a simple room, but this simplicity revealed a harmonious nature. Everything here seemed so perfect, and everything seemed so peaceful and natural, as if one had entered the embrace of nature. Everything here existed only for the woman standing by the window and looking at the scenery outside. The simple and natural furnishings decorated her with unusual nobility.
Although it was just a back view, although it was just a simple white robe, she still looked holy and beautiful.
"Then, my lord, should we proceed with the second step of the plan? I think they should have made a move.”The maid carefully raised her question. It seemed that the master she served had an extremely noble status.
"No, no, no, dear. We don't need to do anything else. You're right, they should take action!”The hostess raised her right hand and elegantly tucked her hair behind her shoulders." But there's one thing you're wrong about. It's 'them', not' them'…"
"Them?" The maid did not seem to understand the meaning of her mistress's words and subconsciously repeated the "keyword".
"Yes!" Them! Let Moonglaive stop the plan. All we have to do now is wait.”After saying this, the mistress suddenly lost interest in talking and waved her hand to send the maid away.
The maid bowed slightly and carefully stepped back out of the room that had a "magical" aura. When she turned around to leave, she gently closed the door. She knew that her mistress did not want anyone to disturb her most of the time.
The capital city of the Tell Empire, Gran, was the symbol of the power of the Tell Empire.
Ever since Ter King was assassinated by a mysterious assassin, although the injuries he suffered were not fatal, it had caused his already unhealthy body to drop to an extremely unpleasant state. Although he was still alive, he had been unable to carry out normal activities. He could only lie in bed and passively receive treatment from the healers every day. Naturally, he could not handle the state affairs of the Tell Empire.
According to King Ter's health, the state affairs that should have been piled up were still handled in an orderly manner every day. Every morning, the ministers of the Tell Empire could still see their king on the throne in the royal court. However, those who paid attention would notice some very strange phenomena.
For example, from the day the news of King Ter's recovery spread from the palace, although their king would appear in court on time every day, his face was always abnormally pale. If one were to be more careful, it would not be difficult to notice that from this day onwards, the originally hot-tempered King Ter had become much gentler. He even spoke very little in the imperial court. Usually, it was the attendant beside him who spoke, and King Ter himself would at most raise his hand slightly and make an instructing gesture. Of course, these were only the thoughts of some people.
In fact, the elite ministers of the Tell Empire did not know that what they saw was simply an illusion.
"Lord Zieg, are your men in place?”The place where King Ter usually dealt with state affairs after court was now occupied by a woman, a young woman.
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness! Those people wouldn't be able to disturb His Majesty's rest.”The captain of the palace guards, Kieger, who was kneeling on the ground, answered the woman in front of him with certainty.
" I'll leave it to you then." The woman whom Zieg addressed as princess sighed softly, her tone full of helplessness. It's a pity that the palace of the great empire actually allows those annoying flies to come and go as they please…"
"Your Highness, I…"
"No, no, Lord Zieg, I have no intention of blaming you. On the contrary, I want to thank you properly on behalf of my father. If not for you, the situation would have been even worse.”The princess interrupted Kieger's terrified words and sincerely expressed her gratitude to him." Lord Kieger, you must know that both my father and I trust you very much. Whether it's your ability or your loyalty! So, please don't have any misgivings and do what you think is right. Father and I will take care of everything!”
"Thank you, Your Highness! For the glory of the empire and the safety of the king and you, I will do whatever it takes! Even if I have to sacrifice my life!" After hearing the princess's words, Qige was extremely excited to express his loyalty. He believed that he would not hesitate even if he was asked to commit suicide in front of the palace.
Seeing Zieg's reaction, the princess nodded in satisfaction." Go ahead. I'll leave everything to you!"”
After the sound of Kieger's footsteps faded away, the princess of the Tell Empire asked a strange question to the empty hall. "Have you found out which faction those people belong to?”
" This subordinate is incompetent…This subordinate has yet to find any clues…" A feminine voice suddenly sounded in the hall. The voice sounded a little erratic, making it impossible to determine where the voice came from.
"Sigh…this isn't your fault. These people's actions are too strange.”Princess Ter muttered softly to herself, as if she was talking to herself, but also as if she was explaining to the owner of the voice." They don't seem to have any special purpose. Every time they come, they will leave after making a scene. Although there are casualties every time, it's not too serious. However, why did they do this?”
In an instant, the empty hall fell into a strange silence. Princess Ter's soft breathing sounded so clear at this moment.
"How is our plan going?”After a moment of silence, Princess Ter's voice echoed in the hall again. At this moment, there was no doubt or helplessness in her tone. There was only her unique dignity and confidence.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. The plan is going very smoothly.”The feminine voice quickly replied,
" The first phase of the plan has entered its final stage. The second phase of the plan is also proceeding according to the pre-set steps. Please wait for my good news, Your Highness.”
"I heard that the 17th legion of Arthurs is stationed on the Krug Prairie. I've also heard that the 17th Division's Commander Luo Lina is a beauty known as the 'Battle Rose.' Don't be charmed by her!”Although Princess Ter was laughing, one could clearly feel the coldness in her clear laughter.
"Yes, this subordinate will remember. If Your Highness has nothing else to say, I will take my leave.”
"Then go ahead. If there is any news, report it immediately.”
The hall fell silent again. The owner of the feminine voice seemed to have left the hall. The princess of the Tell Empire did not seem to care about his improper actions. She continued to focus on the unfinished state affairs on the table in front of her.
The full name of the Princess of the Ter Empire was Ainavis Ter. In the language of the Rostocker Continent," Ainavis " meant " the crystallization of the God of Love ", and Ainavis Ter lived up to the meaning of this name. She had revealed an exceptionally charming beauty since she was very young, an irresistible beauty. Her every frown, smile, and every move of her hand exuded an incomparably seductive charm. When she first appeared at the banquet in the palace, she was only sixteen years old and immediately became the dream lover of all the young nobles.
Perhaps it was because Ainavis was too outstanding. After she was born, King Ter, who had hundreds of beauties, had no more children. Thus, Ainavis became King Ter's only son.
When King Ter, who was also Ainavis 'father, was assassinated and fell into a coma, Ainavis took over all the power at the first moment and ordered that no one was allowed to visit the unconscious King Ter. Then, she used her incomparable charm to appease the group of important officials one by one, not giving those who had ulterior motives the slightest chance. The superb methods displayed by Ainavis during this period of time also made all the ministers sigh in admiration. With their support, Ainavis Ter, who was also the legal first heir of the Ter Empire, finally stabilized the turbulent situation temporarily.
However, Ainavis Ter, the princess of the Ter Empire and the first-in-line successor of the Ter Empire, was more shrewd than that. When King Ter had just woken up from his coma, Princess Anavis had summoned the ministers into the palace and asked them to personally verify the news she had released earlier. Then, she let the substitute that King Ter had trained since he was very young replace King Ter, who was in poor health, to summon the ministers in the " Conference Hall " every day. The person who was truly in charge of state affairs was the Princess of the Tell Empire, Ainavis Ter, who had been hiding behind the scenes and secretly controlling everything.
The moment King Ter's substitute appeared in the royal court, Ainavis finally stabilized and controlled the situation in the Ter Empire.
Although Anavis Ter was indeed very capable, although she managed all the state affairs in an orderly manner, although the overall situation of the Ter Empire was indeed stable on the surface, these were far from enough to make those who had ulterior motives dispel their own schemes. All these conditions could only allow them to bury the things that had gradually surfaced in the dark again.
As a superior, she always considered the interests of the royal family and the country. When the two were in conflict, it was often the interests of the royal power, which was to ensure that the throne was not threatened before considering the interests of the country. It was precisely because of this characteristic that the ruler (here, the throne) would not use force (here, the army) to resolve unstable factors from within the country unless it threatened the existence of the throne. Because once they were forced to use force, it meant that they pushed the opponent to the edge of success or failure. On the battlefield, things were always ever-changing. No one could guarantee the outcome until the last moment. Therefore, the most common trick used by the higher-ups was the word "balance." When this balance was broken, the superior would try to restore it with the help of an external force that did not belong to any party. The best way to deal with such an external force was to engage in a proper war with the enemy country.
At this moment, as the temporary ruler (this referred to the acting authority of the king), Ainavis had already done everything he could. However, this 21-year-old princess, who could make a group of shrewd ministers admire her, had more tricks up her sleeve at this moment.
If it weren't for those mysterious enemies that suddenly appeared, perhaps her plan would have been perfect.
She was only 21 years old. She was young and carefree, but as the princess of the Empire, she had to face many difficulties alone. As long as she took a wrong step, she might have to bear the situation of her country being destroyed and her family being destroyed. This could not be said to be the sorrow of being in an imperial family. But no matter what, she loved Navis Ter, and it was very likely that she would become the first queen in the history of the Ter Empire. Moreover, she would be a very shrewd queen.
Krug Prairie, Arthurs Empire's 17th Legion, Wind Shadow Castle
Rolina looked at the imperial edict on the table in front of her with some distress. King Arthurs 'urgent imperial edict had been placed on this table for seven days. Although King Arthurs 'words in this urgent edict were very friendly, the urgency in his words was obvious. However, the problem was that Windshadow Craze was not in the military camp, and no one knew when he would return. How could Luo Lina rush back to Cullen City before the end of the month according to King Arthur's request?
However, other than this, there was something else that made Luo Lina happy.
The 17th legion had already reached the final stage of training according to the method left behind by Windshadow Kuang. Those mysterious ambushers had not appeared since then. It was unknown if they were hiding for the time being and planning their next move, or if they had really changed targets because of that incident or simply left the Krug Prairie. But no matter what, they didn't bother Luo Lina for the time being.
Luo Lina stood up, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, as if she wanted to vent all the troubles in her heart through this deep breath." Okay, go practice! If Feng comes back and sees that my kung fu has not improved, he will definitely be unhappy.”
When Luo Lina put on a blissful and confident smile and walked out of the tent, she suddenly found that her personal guards seemed to have encountered something particularly exciting. It was noisy and chaotic, and a few people were rushing in her direction. Just as she was bewildered and confused, the unique assembly horn of the Mad Battle Team began to spread throughout the entire Wind Shadow Castle from afar.
"Miss, Miss! Daren is back, Daren is back! Daren is about to reach the entrance of the camp! Quickly get ready to welcome His Excellency!”The guards who were running towards Luo Lina started to shout loudly from afar. Their voices were filled with excitement.
It was no wonder. Ever since Windshadow Craze left, Luo Lina's mood had fallen to rock bottom. Although she was still chatting and laughing with her sisters in the personal guards as before, although she personally supervised the team's rearranged training every day, and personally handled every major and minor military affairs. However, everyone could see that behind this seemingly calm expression was Luo Lina's deep longing and sadness. Moreover, these personal guards were very familiar with Luo Lina. Therefore, these personal guards who had been focusing on Luo Lina all day could naturally discover that their "miss" would spend a lot of time thinking about that lord every day. At this moment, what Luo Lina showed was a kind of melancholy.
As the commander's personal guards, they were also the commander's good sisters. Other than their concern for her safety, these sisters 'concern for Luo Lina also extended to her daily life. So, when Windshade Craze returned from the Speckles Mountains, they told their " miss " the news as quickly as possible.
"Miss, quickly go and dress up! The patrolling soldiers had met Sir in the forest and were now on their way back to the camp! His Excellency is about to arrive. Go and prepare!”
The personal guards who ran closer pulled the slightly dazed Luo Lina into the tent, but they found that the " Miss " who should have been excited did not respond to their actions.
Luo Lina's expression was a little stunned, and a strange light flowed in her eyes. Anticipation, surprise, panic, fear, doubt, hesitation, it was as if all the emotions had entered Luo Lina's eyes in an instant. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Her slightly trembling body did not react at all, allowing the few guards beside her to pull her into the commander's tent. At this moment, an inexplicable emotion enveloped Luo Lina tightly, causing her to lose her ability to think and forget everything else.
Feng…are you back? Are you really back?
Three months, three months! Feng, you're finally back! Do you know how much I missed you? Do you know how lonely I have been in these three months?
Feng, you're back. You're finally back by my side! I no longer have to be tormented by my thoughts. I no longer have to be unable to sleep every night because I miss you.
Feng, I want to tell you the sadness I have suffered in your warm embrace. I want to lean on your broad chest and tell you how much I miss you…I don't want to leave you again, never again! No matter where you go, I will be by your side! Don't even think about leaving me alone, never…
Feng, you're finally back. This feeling…was really good…
In an instant, Luo Lina felt the world spin, and the surrounding scenery began to slowly become blurry. The calls of the guards beside her also gradually faded away. The whole world began to spin with her, and the whole world also spun with her...
