——Three days ago.

After temporarily repelling the monster created by Duke Booker, the Yumenhua headed towards the southern front of the empire.

If you want to raid the city of the Twilight Kingdom, you must get the cooperation of the southern border guards - but the one who commanded the Second Corps to fight the Twilight Kingdom was the Second Prince, whom he had never dealt with.

If you don't get the cooperation of the other party, it will be difficult for your warship to pass through the war zone and enter the Twilight Kingdom.

"Has the Second Corps replied?"

"No, we also sent a request to the remaining Third Corps that had not yet evacuated and the Fifth Corps that were still preparing, but we didn't get any response."

After hearing this somewhat inexplicable reply, Aarons also felt a little strange.

Even if he was warned by the Second Prince because he supported the Third Prince, the Border Guard Corps should not ignore the call of an imperial warship.

"Keep calling them, activate all spare frequency bands, and don't miss any information."

The magic communication in this world is similar to radio waves. As long as a certain proportion of other elements are mixed into the special thunder magic, voice communication with the corresponding target can be carried out.

The light magic used to record images is easily interfered by the natural environment, so it is not suitable for direct transmission without a medium.

"Captain, two crew representatives want to talk to you."

"Representatives? Let them come."

The captain's room of the Yumenhua is not spacious, so ordinary crew members are not allowed to enter and exit at will.

However, Aarons did not intend to refuse the meeting with the crew representatives-the two people who specifically applied to see him must have something special to say.

After all, he was going to carry out a suicide mission with more than a hundred people, and it was normal for the crew to have some ideas.

"Captain, excuse me."

Not long after, two crew members walked into the command room.

From the way they were dressed, it can be seen that one of them was the original crew member of the Yumenhua, and the other was a volunteer following Aarons.

These two people can indeed represent the other crew members - because the people on the ship now are composed of these two types of people.

"What do you two want to talk to me about?"

"Captain, I'm sorry to bother you at this time. We just want to tell you something very important to us."

"Nothing is going on now. Just say whatever you want to say."

The original crew member looked about forty years old. From his aura, people could feel that he must have participated in many battles in the past.

After he saluted Aarons respectfully, he slowly told a surprising truth.

"We, the first crew members of the Yumenhua, were actually the former subordinates of Marquis Moti."

"What... Did you ever participate in that war..."

"Yes, after the war ended and the Marquis handed over his military power to the Empire, we were immediately arranged to become the personal guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and later became the crew members of the Yumenhua."

It seems that Marquis Moti and the Emperor had already made some arrangements for this - although most of the soldiers who participated in that war retired normally, some elites were still retained.

And now, they have chosen to become Aarons' subordinates.

"Captain... No, Master Aarons, we old guys who once followed the Marquis through life and death actually know that you are not a dull and incompetent person."

The war with Cardia and Corinth officially ended when Aarons was ten years old, so the veterans who participated in the war may indeed know him in the past.

But Aarons does not think that he has any advantages worth following now.

"Young Master... Oh no, Captain. The group I represent is not as powerful as them. We followed you to fight off those monsters last time... and saw your true ability."

"Really? But I didn't do anything at that time."

"No, if it weren't for your command, we would all die there... For those of us who are neither strong nor weak and are not qualified to be mercenaries, only by following you can we feel the meaning of life."

Although Aarons, a person from another world, has no intuitive feeling about force and fighting, for most people in this world, respecting the strong is their common sense.

And this strong person does not only refer to the strength of personal strength, but also includes leaders who can lead others to challenge strong enemies-but Aarons does not know this.

"Captain, we tell you these things just to let you know our determination. No matter what kind of battle we face next, we will obey your orders."

"For us, if we can"It's better to die gloriously on the battlefield than to live in the world in a muddle."

Although the crew members were ready to die, this did not conform to Aarons' values.

For him, everyone's life has special value - especially those who are stronger than himself.

"I don't think so -"

"Captain! We received a reply from the communication! It was sent by the Third Legion!"

Aarons was going to take this opportunity to express his thoughts, but before he could speak, a navigator in charge of communication suddenly made a loud report.

--They finally contacted the troops on the southern front.

"Switch to public mode, I want to talk to the other party."

"Yes - this is the Yumenhua, please reply if you hear it. ”

[The magic is coming again - damn it! Hey, hey! Are you the reinforcements sent by the Empire?! The Twilight people are launching a full-scale attack on us! Now only one battalion of our Third Legion and the new recruits of the Fifth Legion are holding their positions!]

However, when the communication was finally connected, Aarons and the crew heard the chaotic roar of the front-line soldiers.

"What happened? Please report your identity and current situation in detail!"

[There is no time to talk so much! I don't know when all the bastards of the Second Legion ran away! If no one supports us, we will all be killed by the Twilight people! If you are reinforcements, come quickly! Where is the medic!? There are wounded over there -]

Just when everyone was in shock, some chaotic communications were cut off due to strong magic interference.

——What exactly happened on the front line?

The remaining troops of the Third Legion and the new recruits of the Fifth Legion who were changing guards were fighting desperately against the Twilight people, but the Second Legion, which was supposed to be the main force, suddenly left the defense line?

"Captain, our second call was not responded to... You see? "

"Something happened... All ships, listen up, the Yumenhua will start to head to the southern border of the empire at full speed! All personnel will enter the first level of combat readiness immediately!"

Although the existing intelligence is completely insufficient, in this situation, any hesitation may cause incalculable losses.

So Aarons decisively issued an order-no matter what happened on the front line, they must rush to support as quickly as possible.

"Continue to contact the troops on the front line! Also tell me the expected arrival time!"

"If you go full speed-about four hours!"

"Don't worry about fuel consumption, turn all engines to the maximum!"

When an ominous premonition began to appear in Aarons' mind, his spirit also entered a state of selflessness.

And this is the signal that the battle is about to begin.
