When Lu Xi's Qiyao Aurora landed on the shore of Lake Holkulen, it slowly sailed into the town of Malen, a port city of Nords located on the shore of the lake. This is a settlement opened by the Virgian Empire in the Great Lakes region, less than 200 years ago, with a permanent population of less than 50,000, but the permanent garrison here is more than 20,000 at the minimum.

The size of the port is not small, but its main function is to dock fishing boats, as well as small cargo ships and patrol boats roaming the inner lake, and it is impossible to moor hundreds of large and small ships at once. Although Virgia and Nadia had just reached a military alliance, it didn't last too long, and the two countries had no conflicts before, but they didn't have any friendship, so it was even more unlikely that the Nord defenders guarding the town of Maren would let the Federation warships into their harbor so lightly. After a period of negotiation, the Nahibia, Bald Eagle, and the Arras, who had just become the second savior of the Federation fleet, were allowed to dock in port. The rest of the ships could only be scattered on the lake outside the harbor, and soon formed a large walled city of ships on the lake.

Unfortunately, even the towns are the kind of slums that typically lack urban planning, and there is no sense of order at all.

Of course, according to the provisional agreement with the Nord defenders, the Federation fleet anchored in the outer lake must also give way to the Nord ships entering and leaving the town of Malen, and must not affect the normal traffic of the port. As a result, the newly anchored Federation fleet had to find a way to regain its formation, which was a painful and tedious task for the exhausted Federation troops, but it had to do.

Don't expect your allies to be considerate of you. What's more, the army, which has just suffered defeat, naturally has no "human rights".

"If the orcs come to burn Chibi at this time. Then I'm going to really give my knees to the other party's commander-in-chief. "When landing towards the lake, Lu hoped for those who had just landed on the lake. Confused like a herd of antelopes that had just pulled out the mouths of lions, don't shake your head secretly. If the enemy does attack at this time, they will have no power to fight back.

When the Qiyao Aurora landed on the lake, the system also heard such a prompt sound.

(System: Congratulations to the host for completing the A-class mission "Victorious Blue Bird", a total of 79% of the Federation troops have been evacuated since the host entered the battlefield, completion: excellent.)

With a surface area of more than 70,000 square kilometers, Lake Holkulen is the second largest of the Great Lakes and the third largest lake on the continent of Gaberia. Once anchored on the water, even with the eyes of an archmage like Lu Xi. It's hard to see the edge in the distance, and at first glance it looks like a large ocean. In terms of area, it is naturally enough for more than 100 large and small floating ships to berth.

Lu Xi pondered how to use the experience he had just gained. On the one hand, he commanded the Nanaurora to sail near the shoal near the entrance of the town, and on the other hand, he was preparing to move away from the main formation of the Federation fleet. Looking at their chaotic appearance, it is estimated that there is not a three-to-five day that cannot restore the normal order; On the other hand. Its ship was the smallest of these Federation fleets, and it was not worried about running aground.

However, just as the Nanayu Aurora entered the water and was about to sail in the direction of the shoal, a dhow came up to meet her. Standing at the bow of the boat was a big man wearing the uniform of the Nord army, who should be a soldier of the local Nordne Lake Naval Army, and shouted loudly: "Excuse me, is it Lu Xi?" The car of the Master of Belencaster? ”

The friends looked at each other, and Lu Xi walked to the deck, and just wanted to speak to the Nord soldier, he had already made a surprised voice.

"Ahh Sure enough, it's Lu Xi? Master of Belencaster! The soldier-looking Nord man seemed to see the top leader who came to the grassroots field investigation, and quickly stood up and clenched his fist and knocked on his chest, and gave a standard Nord military salute: "The sentry of the lighthouse said that he saw the colorful rose coat of arms, which should mean that you have also arrived." Your Highness has commanded me to meet you here. ”

"Your Highness......"

"Anyway, please come with Xiaguan's ship, and I will guide you into the port." The Nord military man is so authentic.

Well, Lu Xi is just an "ordinary" major officer, a "quiet, low-key and humble" person, but now he has to enjoy the treatment of the army commander-in-chief, don't you see that the only thing allowed to enter the port is the general flagship, the temporary flagship, and the flagship of the border patrol fleet? At this time, Lu Xi didn't know whether he should be proud or suspicious.

However, at this time, it was a bit pretentious to show a low posture, and Lu Xi was also very interested in the "His Highness" in the other party's mouth, so he readily agreed immediately.

In this way, the Seven Yao Aurora was guided by the small ship towards the harbor. The Federation fleets on either side had barely managed to give way to their shores, and they watched the Nanaurora, which was more than a lap smaller than their smallest ship, swaggering through them, as if they were greeting their own king, the Guò.

Speaking of which, in the era of the Age of the Gods, the ancient Lord of the Sea, that is, the Sea Dragon King Frankie, his real body was actually a sea dragon no more than fifty meters long, almost the smallest of all the Sea Emperor-level sea beasts. However, even so, those sea beasts that are as huge as mountains must prostrate themselves on the other side's knees to show their loyalty.

This scene may be strikingly similar to the one that was played out tens of thousands of years ago.

The surviving Federation sailors, as well as the Marines on the transport fleet who were the first to evacuate, stood on the bow of their ships, watching the Nanaura Aurora pass through them, and the colorful rose flags waving in the lake breeze, all cheering and applauding.

If the Eastern Garrison Fleet, which successfully covers the evacuation of the transport fleet, is a "heroic group", then Lu Xi can basically be regarded as a "lonely savior". In short, regardless of whether these people are genuinely grateful or simply herd, at least at this time, they really cheered the hero who saved them, Lu Xi, and the "victorious blue bird" he sat on.

"Hey, by accident, I thought I had led them to an epic victory as commander." With the cheers of everyone ringing in his ears, praising his name, Lu Xi did feel a little dark, but in his heart, there was more of a sense of absurdity.

"The army is a group of monsters that need to be fed with a sense of honor, especially when the army is defeated and the morale of the army is weakened, a savior-like existence is even more important." Nicole said, "That's how the Dawn Alliance sergeants called Brother Paan's name. ”

"Well, that's a perfect start!" Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and said in a helpless tone: "It means that if it continues to develop like this, one day I will become the next leader of the Dawn Alliance?" Like dude Parn? ”

The elf girl couldn't help but sneer, covered her mouth and said, "Lu Lu can't become Brother Paen, you two are not like each other at all." Well, at least Brother Pa is smirking seriously every day, while Lu Xi is rolling his eyes every day thinking of bad ideas, and he doesn't know who he is going to bully? ”

In the "sandwich welcome" of tens of thousands of people and hundreds of large ships, the Nanyao Aurora finally sailed into the port. I don't know if it was a malicious arrangement, but it happened to stop between the Nashibia and the Arras, and they shared the same trestle with the latter, giving the impression that a kitten had been mixed between the brown bear and the tiger.

There were already some people standing on the trestle, and the figure in the middle made Lu Xi feel in a trance for a moment. He settled down, and was sure that his heart was indeed full of surprise and excitement, but more of it was a complicated emotion that he couldn't even explain, even mixed with a hint of melancholy and retreat.

Lu Xi sighed and turned his head, only to find that Lim and Nicole were both tilting their heads to look at him, the former's eyes were a little playful and disdainful, and the latter's eyes were full of curiosity, plus "Look, I know it's another one" helplessness. Little Dina struggled to lie on the side of the boat, and finally saw the starry and moony figures on the trestle.

"Oops! It's Her Highness Artoria. ”

Lu Xi was the first to step off the boat, and the knight girl on the opposite side, wearing a sky-blue robe, combing her golden hair into a coil, with beautiful and delicate facial features, a petite and delicate figure, and an awe-inspiring temperament like a towering mountain, also strode over.

"Artoria ......" Lu Xi just wanted to say something, but found that the other party suddenly opened his arms and hugged him tightly. It's not the kind of bird that flutters and hugs according to the human milk swallow, with the bearing and character of a knight princess, this kind of action that is especially suitable for her body type is impossible to do; It's the kind of hug full of tolerance like a big sister, as if to comfort Lu Xi.

Speaking of which, Artoria seems to be about a year older than Lu Xi, but because she is so stupid and ignorant every day, Lu Xi has automatically returned it to the natural place that needs to be taken care of all her life.

“…… I've heard about it. Lu Xi, don't worry about it yet. Miss Sehireu will be fine. You need to take a break and calm down now. Artoria said.

“…… Artoria. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Have you grown up a little?" (To be continued......)
