After Lu Ming was appointed to the unprecedented position of Chief of General Staff of the United Kingdom's Armed Forces, Lu Ming was about to leave the royal capital when he received an unexpected invitation.
…
Mount Amamis is the highest mountain in the United Kingdom and the abode of the gods in Sonia mythology.
On weekdays, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the mountains echo, like the sound of burning sound on the avenue.
On the top of its clouds, the "Amamis" temple is even more majestic. It is difficult to explain how this megalithic temple complex was built on a mountain that is inaccessible and difficult to climb. It is called one of the five wonders of the empire. one.
At this time, in a huge stone temple, Lu Ming was sitting at the stone table. Opposite the stone table was a goddess who looked like she had stepped out of the temple portrait into the mortal world.
Queen Hera of the United Kingdom.
Wearing a long dress like a snow-white Greek goddess and a silver crown on her head, her whole body seemed to be bathed in the pure white holy light, as if her deep blue eyes containing the bright starry sky could suck the soul of a person deep into it, and her skin was as white as snow. The exquisite facial features are like being carved by skilled craftsmen in the divine world, a kind of beauty that is holy to the extreme.
The snow-white long skirt is very similar to the portrait of a Greek goddess, full of a sense of freedom, revealing a pair of snow-white holy jade legs, and the delicate snow-covered feet gently touch the ground, and seem to be hanging just inches from the ground. Everything is sacred and inviolable.
"I have been here for more than ten years. Looking back on my past, it is like a dream. When I came here, I knew it was me... But unfortunately, there are still traces of letting go in the world..."
The soft words of the goddess Hera are difficult to describe in words. They just make people feel like a spring breeze, so soft and touching.
Lu Ming nodded inwardly, and with one sentence, his doubts were solved.
After hearing that Henry II had brought home Edward, an illegitimate son, Queen Hera left him.
There are also rumors that Queen Hera was actually imprisoned by Henry II, and some said she was poisoned.
But all along, officially speaking, the only queen of the United Kingdom is Hera. Various news reports, such as the Queen’s New Year blessings to all the people, etc., respect Queen Hera no less than His Majesty the King. , but I have never seen the image of this queen.
It turns out that Queen Hera ran away from home in anger more than ten years ago, but after coming here, she gradually woke up.
His strength is really terrifying, he is the strongest person outside the Northern Territory that he has ever seen.
Even if it's not as good as my own East and West Second Palace, I'm afraid it's not far behind.
Sure enough, Western beliefs cannot be underestimated.
Of course, Queen Hera is obviously a leading figure in the Western school.
It can also be seen from the arrangement of his fate that marrying Henry II was probably an arrangement secretly arranged by the patron saint of the Sonia people.
Because, from the perspective of the Sonia people, in future history books, Henry II will be a legendary figure at the level of a heroic emperor. He completely defeated the Grifonians who had ruled the Sonia people for thousands of years and established an empire that was the most powerful in the history of the continent. The powerful Sonia Empire.
It is understandable that for such a mortal hero, the greatest ruler in the history of the Sonians, his wife should be a goddess in the mold of Greek mythology.
Greek gods, gods have a mortal aspect.
However, Henry II also wanted to die and caused some illegitimate child incident. Among them, I am afraid that the conspiracy of the Thorngrass family was involved, deliberately driving a wedge between Henry II and Queen Hera, because the ambition of the Thorngrass family must not only support Edward, the maternal relative, is a puppet king, but wants to take over the leadership of the kingdom in a dignified way.
There are too many ethnic groups in the West, and in mythology, wars often break out between patron gods, so it is difficult to compete with the powerful Northern Territory.
But then again, even if the Thorngrass family didn't interfere, it's hard to say whether Hera would still be willing to be Henry II's wife after her awakening.
After all, if you remove the historical filter and really get to know Henry II, as a man, he doesn't seem to have any special charm.
As a ruler, in his own opinion, he was in a mess. The establishment of a huge United Kingdom was mainly due to chance.
Even his secret contribution was not small. He provoked fights between the two sides and hindered Alice's growth, which was equivalent to imprisoning the most powerful power group of the Griffinnians.
The Sonia people should have a low chance of winning, but in terms of destiny, there is an extra variable like themselves who came from time travel.
The battle between Western gods has become full of uncertainty.
"Your Excellency, the power of the Commander-in-Chief is very powerful!" Queen Hera's holy face showed a smile, blooming with God's love for the people of the world. It made people want to kneel down and worship inexplicably, just like a lost lamb that finally found its way back. The road home.
Of course it had no effect on Lu Ming, but in his heart, Lu Ming could feel how hesitant and lost an ordinary person would be when faced with the love and affection of this goddess.
The power Lu Ming is showing now is slightly inferior to that of Danilova.
Otherwise, if Queen Hera cannot feel the existence of her awakening power, then a problem will arise.
Either because his realm or the nature of power he mastered far surpassed hers, or he was not a member of the Awakened Ones.
But now, in the message Hera received, it was clear that she had also awakened her power.
While thinking wildly, Lu Ming picked up the green tea cup with petals floating on it, took a slow sip, and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, you don't want to pay attention to worldly affairs and you asked me to come. Are you ordering me to take care of Her Highness Peter?"
Queen Hera stared at Lu Ming with her wonderful eyes, "No, this is a request from me as a mother, not an order. I ask you to take care of Peter's safety. I hope you can agree to it."
Lu Ming thought. Although this holy queen was almost half-human and half-god, after all, blood was thicker than water, so she still didn't trust her son.
In particular, the second prince, Prince Edward, will follow him in the army.
This was Henry II's request.
He was appointed Chief of Staff of the United Kingdom's Armed Forces, and at the same time served as the "Commander-in-Chief of the Frontline Operations Department of Project Broken Star."
The armed forces of the Southern Military Region and the Second Central Military Region are directly at their disposal according to the state of war.
In other words, he can mobilize the armed forces of the two military regions to perform combat missions at any time.
At the same time, if you need the support of armed forces from other military regions, you can also mobilize them with the permission of Prime Minister Dumas and His Majesty the King.
Because it is a state of secret war, orders to all armed forces can be executed directly and are no longer constrained by parliament.
The second prince, Prince Edward, Henry II wanted to take him to train with the army.
I also understood that I definitely couldn't send Edward directly into the New World, but he could just put it in the frontline command post to ensure safety.
If the military operation achieves great success in the future, this will also be Prince Edward's eye-catching capital.
Henry II's arrangement probably really had the idea of naming the second prince as his heir.
After all, because he was the second prince to take the throne, the line of succession in the United Kingdom is not unbreakable based on age.
If he changes his name to Prince Edward, the second prince, as his heir, there won't be much obstruction as long as there are sufficient reasons.
But he obviously had an obsession.
Perhaps, he also wanted to take revenge on Queen Hera for leaving him.
"How do you need me to help His Highness Peter?" Lu Ming raised his head.
Queen Hera closed her green eyes slightly and called softly: "Sekhmet!"
Outside the temple, amidst the clanging sound of armor metal, a golden-armored female warrior slowly walked in. From her shield to her sword, everything was golden.
He slowly walked to Queen Hera and knelt down on one knee.
Queen Hera sighed softly: "Your Excellency, this child is Peter's fiancée. She was also worried about Peter and came here to beg me for several days..."
"Oh, Crown Princess..." Lu Ming stood up and bowed slightly to the golden-armored female warrior.
The golden-armored female warrior stood silently.
Lu Ming was shocked in his heart. This golden-armored female warrior was actually a swordsman, but she was much higher than the two he had seen in the rain forest.
It is even better than the power she is showing now, that is, at Danilova's level.
One level lower than Yuluan, Tuolong Popo and Big and Small Fruits.
Even so, regardless of whether it is the Western or Northern Territory, she belongs to the top group except for a few leading figures.
It seems that as his status increases, the people he comes into contact with will be at different levels, and the top mysterious power in the West is slowly being unveiled.
Over there, Queen Hera looked at her future daughter-in-law lovingly with her blue eyes, "This child is full of heart, so I can only try my best to help her. Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, I hope you can lead her to the front line and help you in the New World. She got My blessing should be of great help to you.”
Lu Ming understood in his heart that Peter was not an awakened person and it was too dangerous to go to the New World. If he imitated the second prince Edward and gilded the rear, he would inevitably be imitating others.
But if his fiancée, the future crown princess, goes to the front line to perform meritorious service in person, it can naturally be said that she was entrusted by him in the future.
Judging from Sekhmet's powerful power, he would probably be very dazzling in the New World.
So, Edward, who is gilded in the rear, will naturally have little bragging rights in the future.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "Of course I have to obey the Queen's order, but the safety of the Crown Princess..."
Queen Hera slowly stretched out her slender jade hands full of holy halo. In the palm of her delicate snow-white hand, there was a ring. At this time, it slowly left her palm, floated in front of Lu Ming, and landed gently on the table.
"Your Excellency, with this ring, you can summon me to help. Of course, everything in the world has its own unbreakable barriers. The same is true for this summon. There is only one chance every three days."
It doesn't look very eye-catching, it's similar to the mood ring in the previous life, a silver ring inlaid with blue gems.
Lu Ming hurriedly put it away seriously, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you summoning your power to help?"
Queen Hera shook her head slightly: "It is my true self who is going to protect you personally!"
They are all awakened people. It is necessary to explain these things clearly, otherwise it will be unsightly if the other party thinks it is her illusion and says something inappropriate.
Lu Ming was slightly startled, and secretly thought something terrible.
Then he smiled and said: "It seems that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can get your protection even if she is really in a critical moment."
Queen Hera smiled and said nothing, but the twinkling light in her blue eyes undoubtedly confirmed that her new servant was still very smart.
"Your Highness, I leave everything to you!" Queen Hera's blue eyes were full of joy, and she slowly raised the tea, "Thank you..."
Lu Ming could feel that in fact, in Queen Hera's perception, he was just a servant, but her words were so gentle and polite, which really made people want to break to pieces for her. Awakened people respect power, and being treated by such a powerful force, then The urge to die for a bosom friend is even stronger.
Standing up, Lu Ming gently caressed his chest and said goodbye.
…
On the special plane, Lu Ming glanced at the cold and charming girl sitting next to him in a snow-white dress with silver hair and silver eyes. She had an extremely dignified and elegant temperament. It was really difficult to distinguish her from the ruthless and powerful female swordsman in golden armor. connect together.
But this was none other than Crown Princess Sekhmet.
They seem to have a friendly attitude and are particularly polite to the waiters.
But in fact, the nobility in the bones, the aloofness that thinks others are insignificant creatures, anyone can feel it, and will have a feeling that she is so holy and untouchable, while he is just dirty. insect.
The extremely special silver hair and silver eyes also added to this cold and glamorous aura. Ordinary people would be nervous and at a loss when greeting her politely, fearing that in this dignified, quiet and noble princess like a goddess in the sky. In his eyes, he was too inappropriate.
Lu Ming's eyes were on Sekhmet's legs, which were in sharp contrast to the image of the swordsman in golden armor. The crystal clear and slender calves under the skirt, and the bow-tie lace white socks on the soft ankles were like flowers, innocent. There is a different kind of temptation in the cuteness.
They are supposed to be beautiful girls who enjoy life to the fullest, but in this world, they have to fight with swords and fire. Their legs, which are supposed to be slender and beautiful and enjoy all kinds of maintenance, have to kick the enemy's head into pieces. They don't know how lucky they are. Still unfortunate.
Just as he was sighing, Sekhmet frowned slightly and said calmly: "Uncle Bit, how long do we have until we get to Gil?"
Lu Ming looked at his watch, "In one hour."
I thought to myself that in terms of age, I am really the uncle of these young people. After all, I am forty years old.
Including Bridget and Danilova, they are all the age of their nieces and nephews.
As for Sekhmet, he was just sixteen years old, and Prince Peter, like Danilova, was only eighteen years old.
If this hadn't happened, they should have gotten married this year.
Sekhmet calls herself "uncle" because she has a distinguished status as a princess and cannot continue to be "sir" like this.
And since she is the commander, she must show corresponding respect.
Therefore, the title "uncle" was used.
However, since I was staring at her legs, I was afraid that she would think that I was an old pervert, right?
Were you just reminding yourself not to be disrespectful?
…
A building at Gade Air Force Base was secretly sealed.
The language teacher from the Northern Territory is here to teach the language of the new world to the first batch of Sonia spies.
There are also a large number of oral dialogue teachers to strengthen oral practice. Most of them are New World prisoners secretly captured in the Northern Territory. There are dozens of them, and they have now adapted to life here.
There is another class on the fifteenth floor of Gilgaed Building. The students are all in casual clothes. It is a language training class for the awakened ones.
From the looks of it, it's just a private training school or something like that.
There are more than twenty students from the Wednesday Association, including five from the Thorngrass family.
Sekhmet and Anilova were among them.
There are also two non-awakened people in the class, Bridget and Prince Edward.
In fact, top awakened people such as Sekhmet and Anilova do not need to learn the New World language, let alone the red-haired image.
They don't need to go out to contact the New World people to gather information. Instead, they usually lurk and carry out operations secretly when action is needed.
But knowing a little bit of the New World language will make things a lot easier.
Bridget was very curious and wanted to go have a look and rub Lu Ming, and finally got the opportunity to learn the language of the New World.
Although Prince Edward does not need to go to the New World, he still needs to learn the language and do all kinds of appearance skills.
The schedule of the language class is very tight, and the oral conversation even lasts until 11 or 12 o'clock in the night every night.
I get up at 7 o'clock in the morning, absolutely devil training.
Conversations between students are also required to be in New World languages, otherwise they will be severely punished.
If you don’t know a few words in the early stage, you can use the pen writing mode to extract words from New World textbooks and write them in notes for communication.
It is to create an environment where students feel like they are in a new world, and they are basically not exposed to their mother tongue.
Even so, Lu Ming originally planned to spend at least half a year on the language learning class. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.
If the intelligence personnel are not proficient in using the language within half a year, it will be extended to one year.
Only by being fully prepared will you get twice the result with half the effort. In this half year to a year, you can better coordinate the relationship between the military and China and formulate careful plans.
But whether it was Henry II or the cabinet faction, they were all in a hurry.
Without action, the "Broken Star Plan" wasted money. Henry II was worried that the initiative would be taken away, and the cabinet faction took the opportunity to make things difficult.
Therefore, Lu Ming submitted a new plan, which was to first send awakened people to infiltrate and establish a small secret stronghold, bringing with them two to three translators hired by the Northern Territory. In addition, they would have telepathic people who could communicate without understanding the other party's language. Priority will be given to those who are awakened.
If given the chance, this team will bring the secrets of the nursing home directly to the public.
After all, whether it is a resistance organization or an uprising, secret groups must screen and support organizations with greater potential.
Therefore, the early chaos is the window period for observing these resistance organizations.
There is no need to wait for all the intelligence teams to enter the New World before starting action.
At the same time, the more chaotic the New World is, the more favorable it is for intelligence organizations to infiltrate in large numbers.
This plan was quickly approved.
…
The luxury restaurant on the terrace on the 58th floor of the Gade Building.
The entire fifty-eighth floor belonged to Lu Ming's private residence, and there was no one around.
The dishes on the table were extremely sumptuous, and Lu Ming invited Anilova and Bridget to enjoy dinner.
Both Anilova and Bridget are dressed in seductive red dresses, with explosive figures and hot sexiness. The difference is that Anilova is the kind of sexiness that is full of wild power and looks difficult to control; Bridget's The huge height and slender waist give people a soft and charming look, making people dream of conquering her even more.
"Master, is it really okay not to attend the evening oral English class?" Anilova asked in embarrassment.
After all, it is the rules and regulations set by the master, and no one can make exceptions, not even Prince Edward.
As for Crown Princess Sekhmet, few of the awakened people know her identity.
Sekhmet was not registered with the Wednesday Society. She was the fiancée Queen Hera chose for her son from childhood and carefully guided his awakening.
The relationship between the two may be deeper than the relationship between Queen Hera and her son Peter. They are more like mother and daughter.
On the surface, Sekhmet is the daughter of Duke Ryder Blackburg, a great nobleman of Sonia and lord of the Blackburg Dominion. She also has a very noble status.
The Duke of Blackcastle is one of the few aristocratic families in the United Kingdom that still owns private lands and armed forces.
Even these territories actually have a population of hundreds of thousands.
It is also the goal of the Constitutional Party.
Over there, Anilova asked if it was okay to skip class. Before Lu Ming could speak, Bridget chuckled and said: "Silly sister..." She smiled charmingly at Lu Ming, "Mr. President, thank you, I didn't expect that. , more than a month, almost exhausted me to death, if I had known I would not have attended this class."
She had long wanted to quit, but was ruthlessly rejected by the president.
She felt that it was much more interesting to follow the president and enjoy the process of chasing the world than to be the deputy prime minister and county magistrate of the special zone. She was too lazy to fight with Mayor Hines. It felt too low-end.
However, this also had unexpected effects.
From this, Hines will cooperate as much as possible with the county office's plans, or in other words, Bridget's various plans involving Gill City. After all, she is the chief's lover. Since I have given you enough face, No longer weakening your authority in Gill City Hall, then of course easing the relationship to the maximum extent is the right choice.
Therefore, it is difficult for Bridget to use the excuse of being busy with official duties.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Bujier, if you want to go to the New World, you should study hard. It doesn't matter to Luo Wa. She is not interested in the New World people and doesn't have to deal with the New World people. Of course, both of you are red-haired and have nothing to do with the New World people." The main races are very similar, and there is really no harm in learning more New World languages.”
"By the way, how do you feel about Sekhmet? Lova, I heard that you and her have become good friends?" Lu Ming looked at Danilova with a smile.
As you can imagine, as the two strongest female awakeners in the class, it was natural for them to get close to each other.
After all, it is almost impossible to meet a female companion who is of similar strength and can make friends on equal terms.
This class is full of talents, and among the male awakeners, there are two who are almost as good as Danilova.
One of them is from the Thorn Grass family, he seems to be the third generation heir, he is only in his twenties, and he is recognized by the Thorn Grass family as the greatest genius in the history of the family.
It seems that everyone spent a lot of money this time.
Danilova heard Lu Ming ask about Sekhmet and said: "Master, I have analyzed her..."
Lu Ming immediately waved his hand: "Secrets involving her, things she told you when she was your good friend, don't tell me, Luo Wa, it's not easy for you and someone like her to make friends, even in the future. Enemies, don’t take advantage of friendship.”
Danilova was stunned, her blue eyes filled with mist, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
"Crown Princess..., what's so great about her?" Bridget bit her red lips, obviously jealous of her beauty and noble status.
Lu Ming laughed and said to Danilova: "Did that guy say anything bad about me?"
Danilova chuckled and nodded vigorously: "Yes."
Lu Ming waved his hand unhappily, "Okay, let's enjoy a sumptuous dinner and let them continue to suffer."
Both women smiled, singing softly, and ate with Lu Ming.
At the end of the dinner, a female soldier hurriedly delivered a confidential document.
Danilova read it and hurriedly handed it to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming opened it and read with a smile: "Okay, the experiment was successful. As expected, the shortwave signal can be received in the New World. This way we can use the telegraph to contact the mainland. We don't need intelligence agents to sneak back to the mainland every time. The risk factor is If it is too high, information will be easily lost.”
My heart felt a little heavy.
Shortwave uses the principle of atmospheric ionosphere reflection to propagate radio waves, and can propagate up to several thousand kilometers.
The fact that the New Continent can receive shortwave signals from the Imperial Continent also means that the electromagnetic storm in the barrier is gradually disappearing.
At least the atmospheric ionosphere is gradually stabilizing.
These barriers are crumbling.
Of course, it is said that, but for such a powerful barrier, it will definitely be a long-term process from instability to complete demise, which may take years, even decades, or hundreds of years.
Over there, Danilova sighed softly: "Sister Bujier, it's hard for you to know how powerful the master is. The shortwave communication experiment between the two continents is also what the master wants to carry out. The master's knowledge is too profound, Hao Ru Xinghan, I feel that the master is still an amazing genius scientist."
Lu Ming coughed and said, "Lova, you are a little unusual today."
Danilova's pretty face paled slightly, she stood up quickly, knelt down on one knee, and whispered: "Yes, slave is wrong! Master, please punish me!"
Lu Ming was helpless: "That's not what I meant. Get up quickly. You can't ask me to help you?"
Danilova slowly stood up. Seeing her little face full of fear, Lu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand, "Here, touch your head."
Originally, from the past life knowledge, most of them are girls who don’t like to be touched on the head. Even dogs don’t like to be rubbed on the head because they will feel dizzy. However, many owners are used to expressing their love for them in this way, and they also know their owners. When expressing love, you can only accept it.
But these servants of mine, such as Qing'e, Hong Ling and Danilova, really like that he can rub their little heads, as if this can make them feel great joy, as if they have gained this The Lord's favor is normal.
As expected, Danilova's blue eyes shone with joy. She knelt down on one knee again in front of Lu Ming. When Lu Ming gently stroked her bright red hair, her pretty face turned red and her body trembled slightly. She was probably both psychologically and physically. Experiencing great contentment.
Bridget, who was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe when Danilova said something wrong, secretly rolled her eyes when she saw Lu Ming's move.
At the same time, Bridget immediately returned to her natural state. It was obvious that this terrible man was not angry.
When Danilova returned to her seat, the redness on her face had not subsided, and her blue eyes were blurred, as if she was still savoring her master's favor.
Bridget murmured in a low voice: "Isn't it good to praise you? Moreover, who can Sister Lova tell about these words of praise and admiration and adoration for you? Can't she also tell me? With others He said he was afraid of leaking the secret."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Yeah, you have merit too." He added: "The desserts are here, please eat more. Don't worry, your figure will not be out of shape."
Hearing what her master said, Danilova whispered to Bridget: "Sister Brigitte, what the master said is true. You are also the master's now, so you can enjoy what you didn't dare to touch in the past to keep in shape." food."
Bridget was stunned for a moment, half-convinced. If it was true, in order to keep in shape, would she really not have to experience the pain of looking at all kinds of mouth-watering food but not daring to touch it?
Seeing Danilova stuffing various cream snacks into her mouth, Bridget gritted her teeth, picked up a piece of snow-white pastry, carefully took a small bite, and whined in her heart, if she had known that there were chefs and pastry chefs around this guy. , bakers, etc. are all top-notch, but I still didn’t expect that a small and inconspicuous snack can be so delicious...
Lu Ming drank the tea slowly and smiled slightly when he saw Danilova and Bridget enjoying their meals.
However, this comfortable life is just a short moment in a long journey.
Lu Ming turned to look at the floor-to-ceiling glass window. Outside, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse. To the southeast, black clouds were rolling in, as if there were countless dangers gathering and brewing at a rapid pace.
