It only took Regnar three days to reach Tide City.
Although based on common sense, it would take more than half a month to reach Tide City in the southeastern part of the empire from Merindel, but with the help of the portal, Regnar still got there at an unexpected speed.
These portals were originally set up to shorten the time delayed by transportation. However, due to the high cost, if there is nothing important, it is impossible for ordinary people to use the portal to reach the destination. And Regner is now the director of the Military Intelligence Department, and he is busy with military matters, so naturally using the portal is not a problem.
…
"Stop! Who are you two? This is the base of the Hawke Empire's military camp. If you get too close, we have the right to kill you two on the spot!" The guard in charge of sentry tensioned his bow and arrow, and then said coldly He shouted coldly.
"Oh? I didn't expect that in just half a year, the boss has trained these soldiers well." Regnar said somewhat unexpectedly. Does he know what this independent brigade was like half a year ago, with gambling, drinking, and martial arts competitions... To put it simply, the military camp at that time could be said to be a casino, a tavern, a martial arts hall, and a hotel, but only It doesn't look like it, it's a military camp.
At that time, I was quite worried about how Kordak would tame this rabble, but now it seems that this worry is somewhat unnecessary.
"I am a friend of your captain Kordak. Please tell him that an old friend is visiting." Regnar did not feel dissatisfied because of this, and his discipline was strict. This shows that Kordak is good at running the army. Since The boss has finally created this kind of atmosphere, so Regna will not cause any damage!
"Our captain is not here now, don't try to get away with it!" The sentry almost let go of his hand on the string.
"Then Captain Rondo? Heizi? Or Eberron? Anyone, you can tell them." Regnar said helplessly, it would be okay for him to stand for a while under this summer weather. As for Annelotte, Regnar couldn't bear to let Annelotte stay in this hot summer for a while. Moreover, this girl has a weird temper. If she gets angry because of this, these sentry guys will not be able to eat her. gone.
The sentry looked at Regnar and the two, then turned and left.
…
"Bastard!" Eberron almost slapped the sentry in the face. He asked, "Is there a girl with long blue hair accompanying that boy?"
"How do you know, squadron leader?" The sentry was stunned. Annelotte didn't bother to use any disguise when she came over this time. Since she was showing her true face, the sentry also noticed the girl with the strange hair color. It's just that the sentry couldn't see Annelotte's face clearly because of the distance.
"That's it, hurry up, welcome them in. No, I'll go there myself!" Eberron shook his head.
"Squadron leader, they are..." The sentry couldn't help but be curious about the identities of those two people.
"..." Eberron did not satisfy the sentinel's curiosity. Although he had just learned about Regner, considering Regner's identity, he felt that it was better not to publicize this kind of thing.
…
Ten minutes later, Kordak hurried back at Eberron's notice.
"Boss..." Regnar almost cried when he saw Kordak. He turned to look at the person behind Kordak, and then said in a loud voice: "Sister Vera..."
"Well..." Vera obviously also missed the time when the two of them were together. She looked at Regna and her voice gradually became choked with sobs.
"Okay, we're not children anymore, why are you crying?" Kordak said with a grin.
"As soon as I received your letter, Regnar couldn't wait to come over." Annelotte also came over.
"Annie, you are still so beautiful." Kordak couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the Frost Girl, and then asked: "How is it? Are you two making any progress now?"
"Boss, I don't understand what you are saying." Annelotte's face turned cold instantly.
"It seems there is no progress..." Kordakpo muttered to himself somewhat depressedly. He looked at Regnar, then slapped him on the back: "We haven't seen you for half a year, why do I think you've grown taller again?"
"That's right!" Regnar said proudly, "We are still young, and we will definitely grow taller and more!"
"Haha, no matter how long you are, you can't be as tall as me!" Kordak lightly touched Regner's head: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. It's better for us to get down to business quickly. General Manhattan is still It’s waiting for us!”
After a while, Regnar and Annelotte appeared in the military tent in Manhattan.
"Lord Regnar is willing to condescend to come to help us. Manhattan thanks him in advance again." Manhattan bowed slightly.
"Old General, you don't have to be like this." Regnar stood up and waved his hands respectfully: "I, Regnar, are really just a young boy with little experience in the world. I have nothing like you, Old General, who is a veteran of three dynasties. It's better than anything else. If you treat me like this, it will be a bit unbearable for me."
"Hahahahaha!" Manhattan suddenly laughed: "It's rare to be able to be neither arrogant nor arrogant in a high position at such a young age! Okay, today I, Manhattan, will rely on my old age and pretend to be your elder for a while."
"Old General, you are serious. In terms of seniority, seniority, and age, you are our elder." Regnar smiled slightly.
"Well, since Kordak is also here, we don't need to say any more false polite words. How about going directly to the topic?" Manhattan obviously didn't want to have any more false polite conversations.
"That's fine." Regnar nodded: "I don't know what the specific requirements are for this operation."
"My request is very simple, destroy those magic energy cannons." Manhattan answered without hesitation; "As long as those things are removed from the walls of Tide City, I can guarantee that the city will be breached in a short time."
"..." Regnar pondered for a moment. He had also read the information about the magic cannon before coming here. The size of that thing was beyond imagination. Regnar couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't refuse Annelotte's request, because those things were really not small in size. If he wanted to rely on Devouring Light to chop them into scrap metal, Regnar would probably be able to do it halfway. Sometimes he will lose strength and fall to the ground.
There is only Annelotte. As long as she can point out the weakness of the magic cannon, Regnar will save a lot of energy. From this point of view, it was a wise decision for Regnar not to strongly object to Annelotte's participation in this operation.
Regnar thought about it carefully and then nodded: "Although I dare not guarantee that it will be foolproof, I will at least promise to do my best."
"That's enough!" Manhattan nodded with satisfaction: "If even the Director of Military Intelligence can't deal with these magic cannons, I think there are only a few people in the world who can completely destroy them."
"Since you, old general, like this kid, I will do my best." Regnar said solemnly. From a personal perspective, for the same old man, this Manhattan who has been fighting for the country is better than the man who plays political tricks and conspiracies. Alfred was much more cheerful. At least Regnar liked the old man's temper better.
"Then please leave it to Lord Regnar." Manhattan bowed solemnly.
"Old General, you are such a tough guy." Regnar quickly returned the greeting.
"This prayer is just for those brothers who didn't have to die in vain. Little brother, don't worry about it." Manhattan smiled slightly, then he turned to look at Annelotte who had been silent: "Presumably this one is the one who is known as the brightest in the empire. Mademoiselle Annelotte’s sapphire, right?”
"Hello, General Manhattan." Annelotte stood up and saluted.
"Haha, you don't have to be polite to your niece." Manhattan was also very fond of Annelotte when he saw it. He nodded with satisfaction: "Your father, Mr. Mallory, and I are also old friends. In fact, you should call me uncle." .”
"Uncle." Annelotte seemed very well-behaved: "My father has mentioned you before, saying that you are the soul of the imperial army."
"Haha, he is the sword soul, and I am the military soul. This boy Malolite has a very high opinion of me!" Although he is already an old man in his eighties, he can get a strong man from the holy realm. The compliment is apparently still very rare for Manhattan. So the old man actually showed a somewhat proud look on his face at this time.
"Father, father, father... Father?" Kordak and Vera almost stuttered. They never expected that such a word could come out of Annelotte's mouth. Why did this girl suddenly become so respectful to Mallory? !
"Hey, what happened between the old man and Annie recently?" Kordak quietly poked Regner's waist and asked in a low voice.
"Hey, you don't know. In the past six months, I have been acting as both a father and a mother to Annie. It's so scary to hold it in my hand and put it in my mouth that it will melt. This is the first time I've seen the Gale Sword Master. How can you care so much about someone!" Regnar said with emotion.
"So? Anne relented?" Kordak asked hesitantly.
"Yes, with my persuasion and the old man's unremitting efforts, Annie is now willing to call her father." Regnar said proudly: "You don't know, the night when Annie called her father, The old man secretly took me out and drank eight kilograms of strong liquor. I ate nothing that night and vomited the rest. And I was so drunk the next day that I went to Annie's place and was dizzy. He blew randomly, and when he woke up, he almost committed suicide by wiping his neck... "
"Mr. Malloryt, isn't that happy!" Kordak smiled: "You can drink with your father-in-law. It seems that you two have a good relationship!"
"That's natural." Regnar deserved it.
"Tch! Just having a good relationship with my father-in-law is of no use!" Kordak said angrily: "It's been another half a year, and you and Anne still haven't made any progress. Do you want me to be anxious to death?"
"Boss, it's not like you don't know Anne's temperament... I have to take my time on this matter..." Regna immediately felt a little sluggish.
"Forget it, you two have been together for several years, and I'm too lazy to care anymore." Kordak curled his lips: "But I remember you said that it was Anne who offered to come with you this time?"
"That's right!" Regnar nodded.
"That's it. It seems that Annie has started to become more proactive recently." Kordak winked at Regna: "You kid, come on!"
