Haken Gate.
Located in the north of Liber Kingdom and connected to East Perth Street in the south, it is an important pass between Liber and the Erebonian Empire.
Considering that the relationship between Liber and the Empire is by no means harmonious, Haken Gate is definitely regarded as the most important military fortress in Liber.
As soon as he learned of the BIGNES assassination of the Imperial Emperor, Lieber began to mobilize troops towards the Haken Gate.
The absolute leader, the new airship formation that dominates the Western Continent.
The ground armored force is not famous, but no one can ignore its importance.
and the newly formed Rapid Response Force, inspired by the Imperial Civil War.
They all gathered in just a few days and were personally commanded by General Morgan, a veteran who had defeated the imperial attack in the "Hundred Days War".
And this is just the beginning.
When "mutations" began to occur on a large scale in the empire, the "Pure White Wings" representing the royal family of Liber and the flagship of the air force "El Seyu" flew into the sky and publicly paraded around the northern territory of Liber. , landed at the Haken Gate airship pad.
As the hatch, which was also pure white, slowly opened, the crown princess Coladia, dressed in a smart outfit, walked out first.
Following closely behind is Lieber's most famous figure, the former S-class guerrilla of the Guerrilla Association, the current commander-in-chief of the kingdom, and the well-deserved number one hero of the kingdom, Lieutenant General Cassius Bright.
Excluding Queen Alicia, this is Liber's most powerful combination.
Just entering middle age, the tall and tall male school officer stepped forward to greet him and gave a standard military salute: "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty the General."
"Thank you for coming to greet me, Colonel Sid." Coladia nodded gently, slowly and majestically.
On the contrary, Cassius, as the commander-in-chief, had no airs. He raised his four eyebrows and joked with a smile: "Why are you here to greet me? Where is General Morgan? Isn't he planning to retire and hand over the command to you?" Alright."
"The general is joking." Sid quickly waved his hand and explained, "General Morgan is at the training ground. If you go now, you should be able to see a good show."
Cassius raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way?"
"As you command." Sid stood at attention and turned around.
At the same time, the blue-haired technician at the rear waved his hand: "Leave the preparation of the ship to us."
Kolodya smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Chief Gustav."
The distance from the airship platform to the training ground is not far. After all, it is a military fortress located on the national border, and every subdistance of land must be used rationally.
Before they arrived, the group heard a loud and vigorous war cry: "Drink ah ah -"
Cassius's already upturned corners of his mouth instantly grinned: "General Morgan can't help itching his hands."
Kolodia also responded with a smile: "It is indeed a good show to see the 'God of War' take action, but I don't know who the opponent is——"
Cassius answered: "In terms of force alone, apart from General Morgan, there is Sid at the Haken Gate, but Sid, you came to greet us...I see, is Richard back?"
"As expected of you." Sid was not surprised. Without such ability, he would not be worthy of being called a "rare military god."
"Just in time, we have something to ask him."
"He also has new information to report to you two."
They are all old bosses and subordinates. There is no need to talk nonsense between each other, a few words are enough.
It was at this time that several people saw the scene in the training ground.
In the center of the dark green training ground, an old general in military uniform with white hair and beard wielded a huge halberd that was longer than a man and smashed the hard ground into pieces.
In the gap between the broken earth and rocks, the light of the sword flashed, and the fragments filled with fighting spirit flashed past, and they merged into one above the old general, forming a white sword and slashing it in the air.
The precise operation, the clever angle, and the final sharp slash that combined multiple steps into one made Sid and Coladia, both swordsmen, couldn't help but shout: "Okay."
"This is -" Cassius, who had the most advanced cultivation, also had a flash of brilliance in his eyes, but the next moment it turned into regret, "The vision is still too limited, Richard."
Just looking at this sword, Richard is indeed impeccable, including speed, strength, angle, and even Morgan's ventilation and retraction after "hoeing the earth".
Before the halberd reaches the blocking position, this knife will hit Morgan's left chest first - provided that General Morgan is unwilling to give up his halberd.
At the moment when the sword light returned to its original state, Morgan raised his eyelids slightly and snorted softly from his nostrils. Taking advantage of his breath, he raised his hands and let the weapon that had been with him for many years and gained the name "God of War" embed into the earth. .
Immediately afterwards, although he was old, the old general who was still able to lead an army sank his shoulders. He stepped hard on the ground with his right foot, brought his waist with his legs, turned his arms with his waist, and finally gathered his fighting spirit and all his strength in his left hand, and punched hard. out.
It was obviously just a simple and straightforward uppercut, but it created a momentum like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring.
A punch hit the spine of the sword from the side, causing the alloy sword to move in a thrilling arc. At the same time, the force of the punch spread all the way along the blade. Richard's jaw trembled violently, and he almost couldn't hold the sword.
Richard knew that he was missing a move. In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, he could only retreat with all his strength.
General Morgan was not in a hurry to pursue. He jumped with his left foot and returned the halberd to his hand. Without withdrawing his extended left fist, he hooked Richard, who had just stood still, and said, "Come again."
Richard looked bitter, and he knew his own bitterness.
Morgan's punch just now was extremely powerful, and his arm was still numb at the moment. Although it will not cause injury, the combat effectiveness will definitely be weakened in a short period of time. Just now, if the old general really wanted to pursue desperately, even if he was not defeated on the spot, he would still have to pay a heavy price.
But with the old general's character, if he just admits defeat like this, the opponent will definitely be unhappy.
Fortunately, when he was struggling, Cassius spoke: "So far, Richard, you have been defeated."
"Yes." Richard stood at attention after hearing this.
Seeing Cassius appearing on the sidelines, especially Coladia who was standing in the main position, the old general also put away his fighting spirit and took two steps back.
"Do you know where you lost?" Cassius asked again.
Richard nodded: "I know, I don't have enough vision and am too obsessed with General Morgan's weapons."
"Is that all?" Cassius was a little dissatisfied. Richard was his most proud student, so it shouldn't just be like this.
Richard frowned, thinking hard, and finally managed to say: "Please give me some advice, General."
"Idiot, thank you for being a spy." Cassius said, "What is the title of General Morgan? He is the 'God of War'!" Not a 'Sword Master'! Do you understand? A 'Sword Master''s skills may be all about the sword, but a 'Martial God' can never only practice one kind of weapon!"
