Far Eastern Stars

Chapter 19 The Sixth Ocean Army

Corey's tone was calm.

"It is related to the Sixth Ocean Army. I used to be the commander-in-chief of this army, and Joe was the deputy commander. One day ten years ago, I was having a meeting in the imperial capital, but I suddenly received a notice that the remote southern barren continent sent a The army is going to declare war on the Far East Empire."

All the tabloids exploded almost overnight, countless fresh and hot headlines came out, and people in every underground gambling house were betting that the famous Sixth Ocean Army would end the battle within a few days. The longer the time, the higher the odds.

Ke Lei wanted to go back as soon as possible, but was stopped by the people from the military department and refused to let him go. The reason was that the military law should be revised.

"Did you stay?" Liu Yunchen asked.

"I finally left, but at that time, three full months had passed since I received the first battle report." Ke Lei replied.

Liu Yunchen listened attentively.

No one expected that after Ke Lei rushed back to the pier day and night, what awaited him was bad news-the sixth ocean-going army had been wiped out, and the army that once had tens of thousands of officers and soldiers was left overnight. At that time, more than 20 people stayed at the pier.Ke Lei personally drove the boat out to sea to search, but found nothing.

When the news spread back to the imperial capital, it was like a bomb fell into the military headquarters. People had different opinions, and the tabloids on the street could not wait to publish ten editions a day. Most of the content was originally about mourning and remembering the spirits of the deceased soldiers, but I don’t know when it started , there is another voice.It is said that the Sixth Ocean Army was not killed in battle, but was tempted by money and beauties, and secretly surrendered to Nanhuang.

Yielding to the enemy for personal gain is the greatest insult to a soldier.Ke Lei was furious when he heard the news, and broke into the office of the military headquarters alone, just in time to bump into the officers who were having a meeting to discuss how to deal with the mess left by the Sixth Ocean Army.

Not memorial, no consolation, but punishment and condemnation.

"When I heard this decision, I seemed to lose the ability to think for a moment, and I couldn't remember what I did." Ke Lei's voice was low and hoarse, "I heard Thornton say that when he rushed in, All the window panes and tables were smashed, I was covered in blood, I even got shot in the leg, and I still don’t know who did it.”

"Was General Thornton also in the imperial capital at that time?" Liu Yunchen asked.

Ke Lei nodded and said: "The old men in the military department have always been very dissatisfied with Thornton and me. They originally wanted to use the matter of the Sixth Ocean Army to completely remove us from the army list, but in the end they still failed to achieve their goal. In order to avoid They continued to bite like crazy, and it was a good idea to take the army away for a while, so Thornton went to Icefields Military Academy to be the headmaster, and I opened the Manning Casino."

"What does all this have to do with the Artis sea area?" Liu Yunchen asked again.

"A few years ago, I received a letter from the mermaid tribe." Ke Lei propped his head on one hand, and looked at him while lying on his side. "The content of the letter is related to this case."

"Tell me." Liu Yunchen urged.

"The Southern Desolate Continent did send troops, and Joe did indeed lead the Sixth Ocean Army to fight against them." Ke Lei said, "However, during the battle, some sweet little accidents happened. A demon girl, named Lily, and they quickly fell in love."

Liu Yunchen said: "This sounds like a fairy tale."

"But at the end of fairy tales, the prince and princess live happily ever after." Ke Lei said, "Joe is the best general, and with Lily's help, the army quickly repelled the invaders. After the opponent was defeated, he was hit by a shipwreck, and almost his entire army was wiped out. General Lie Lun voluntarily signed the declaration of surrender. Originally, everything should end here, but no one thought that Lie Lun would plant a curse on the letter of surrender. Liu Yunchen frowned and said: "curse?"

"Lie Lun is the most accomplished general in the Southern Wilderness Continent." Ke Lei said, "He has almost never lost a battle, so his character is proud, arrogant, sensitive, and paranoid beyond imagination. After being defeated by Joe, he He must have fallen into the craziest stage of his life, in order to preserve his reputation and record, he finally chose to sign an agreement with Sea Demon."

"What's that?" Liu Yunchen asked.

"Leon ordered the rest of the warships to retreat to the Attis sea area." Corey said, "The storm and the trek quickly took the lives of the survivors. The [-] Southern Wilderness soldiers who sank to the bottom of the sea were his A sacrifice to sea monsters."

Liu Yunchen's back was a little hairy.

"In exchange, Sea Demon gave Lieren the curse of the undead." Corey said, "After Lily found out about this, she wanted to tell Joe to be careful, but it was still a step too late. The undead army that kept pouring out was violent And cruel, the Sixth Ocean Army was annihilated, and even the sea monsters and mermaids who lived here for generations were implicated. The once paradise is now full of dark red blood foam, and the air is filled with a strong smell of smell. So they decided to migrate away, turning Artis Sea into a dead zone."

"Where are Joe and Lily?" Liu Yunchen asked.

"They died together and sank to the bottom of the sea." Ke Lei said, "But before she died, Lily used all her strength to seal the curse of the undead. The tribe buried her and Joe on the island together, and wrote a A letter telling me everything."

"So you decided to come to Artis Sea Area to find out the truth, and rediscover the letter of surrender signed by Lie Lun himself, to clear those charges that did not exist for the Sixth Ocean Army?" Liu Yunchen looked at him.

"Lie Lun returned to the Southern Wilderness alone. Although he lost all his troops, he still received honor and courtesy." Ke Lei said, "On the contrary, Joe was slandered as a traitor in the Far East. The comrades-in-arms were also dismissed, and they did not receive a penny of consolation money."

"Now that we have the letter of surrender, this erroneous history will be corrected soon. Seeing his depression, Liu Yunchen comforted, "If some old men in the military department make trouble again, we will throw all this away. their faces! "

Ke Lei laughed, looked at him and asked, "Are you still angry?"

Liu Yunchen shook his head very simply this time.

"Thank you." Ke Lei shook his hand with a sincere attitude.

"General." Someone said in the enchantment, "I want to spend a few minutes alone with my cutie."

"Of course." Ke Lei stood up from the bed and said, "I happened to go to see Ares."

Liu Yunchen nodded, watched him leave and closed the door.Heka came out of the chaos, wearing a bathrobe and flat slippers, her face turned to the sky.

"Ma'am." Liu Yunchen was used to her heavily made-up face, but suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"I really don't have the energy to put on makeup anymore." Heka sat on the edge of the bed, looking lazy and tired.

"You can have a good sleep in the barrier." Liu Yunchen said, "I'm fine."

"I know you're fine." Heka patted his side face, "Your performance today was very brave."

"May I ask you something?" Liu Yunchen tentatively asked.

"About that ugly monster?" Heka took out a cigarette and lit it.

Most nervously pricked up his ears in the barrier.

"Is it a snow rabbit?" Liu Yunchen asked, "I seem to see it rolling out of the barrier, and then it changed into another look."

Heka stretched his hand into the barrier, and Most resisted and wanted to avoid it, but his ears were still pulled, and he managed to find it—of course, in the form of a snow rabbit.Small, white, and fluffy.

"It's a corpse eater from hell." Heka raised the snow rabbit to his eyes, "Would you still like to hug it?"

Most's two hind paws were stretched straight, and there was resistance and violence in his blood-red eyes, as well as tension and anxiety.Of course, no matter what kind of mood it is, it will not allow others to peep, so it keeps its head down.

Liu Yunchen stretched out his hand and carefully hugged it into his arms.

Most's body froze for a moment. It was already ready to be rejected, but it didn't expect that it would still be accepted.

"I'm glad to see you guys get along with each other." Heka shrugged. "Then, let's say goodbye in five minutes."

"Farewell?" Liu Yunchen was taken aback.

"I'm leaving." Heka exhaled a smoke ring.

Most burrowed into Liu Yunchen's arms again - although this was not in line with his nature, he really liked the feeling of being held by a young man, warm and relaxing, without any malice.

"Where are you going?" Liu Yunchen asked.

"Go to the mermaid and the siren." Heka replied, "This is a very romantic story, and it's not suitable for children."

Liu Yunchen thought about his choice of words: "You can speak a little more implicitly."

Heka chuckled and said, "If it wasn't because I wanted to find him, I really want to go back to the imperial capital with you."

"Who is he?" Liu Yunchen took the opportunity to ask.

Then I successfully harvested today's second story.

Hundreds of years ago, Heka hid her identity as an undead and worked as a mother in the imperial capital to have fun for herself.Then, like all the bloody plots, she met a tall, handsome, humble and polite guest.

The two fell in love quickly, and Heka even began to think about how to confess his identity to him—after all, a businessman may accept his wife as Mama-san, but he must not accept undead and ghosts.

"What's his name?" Liu Yunchen asked.

"Silang." Heka replied.

And to everyone's surprise, Xilang is not a human being, but... a mermaid.

Liu Yunchen listened fascinated.

"And that's the end of it." The story ends abruptly, without warning.

Liu Yunchen said blankly, "Is there no follow-up? You don't like mermaids?"

"That's not true. I even wanted to give him a child. But after knowing that I was an undead, he took me to the labyrinth of the Icefield Military Academy and sealed it." Heka said, "Then he disappeared for hundreds of years."

Liu Yunchen: "..."

"So I have to find him and find out what happened." Heka put Moster back into the barrier, "This little thing is not suitable for living in the imperial capital, I have to take it away."

"En." Liu Yunchen nodded reluctantly, and asked again, "Then do you know where Mr. Xilang has gone?"

"I don't know, that's why I'm looking for it." Heka said, "I want to go to the depths of the sea first. If there is still no clue, maybe I will go back to the imperial capital."

"I hope everything goes well for you." Liu Yunchen hugged her.

Heka patted him on the back, and felt the emotion similar to "maternal love" for the first time, and she began to think, if she could find Xilang this time, would she be able to give back to her body that had been sealed for hundreds of years? he has a child?

Three days later, Heka and Most left together.Liu Yunchen leaned on the bed, stretched out his hand to grab the empty air, feeling a little empty in his heart.

"Boss!" Ares peeked at the window, and suggested to the people behind him, "Little cutie looks very upset, you can go and comfort him."

"Why don't you go?" Corley asked back.

"I really want to go." Speaking of sad things, Ares burst into tears, "But both Yi Na and Natasha forbid me to visit Chen privately, and even Ming Chuan agreed."

"Reason?" Corey crossed his arms.

Ares choked up: "They said the picture is not beautiful."

Corey nodded: "Indeed."

Feeling ashamed, Ares stared at the blue sea with tears in his eyes, thinking about whether to jump down now or wait until he was full.

Corey opened the door and walked into the cabin.

"General." Liu Yunchen sat up straight.

"Reluctant to leave Heka?" Ke Lei asked.

"We have lived together for a long time." Liu Yunchen emphasized, "So I have at least three days to recover."

"I can give you 30 days, or even longer." Ke Lei smiled, "The return journey will be very boring, and you have a lot of time to squander."

"Can I apply to hear a story?" Liu Yunchen raised his hand and asked.

Ke Lei was puzzled, "What story?"

"A bedtime story." Liu Yunchen retracted his face into the quilt, only showing a pair of eyes, "Three little piggies."

"You've passed your 20th birthday," Curley reminded him.

"That's why you need to use boring fairy tales to hypnotize you." Liu Yunchen said it very logically, "And you often call me a kid."

Your Excellency the General recalled the plot of the Three Little Pigs, which seemed to be related to building a house, and it seemed to be related to the princess.

Liu Yunchen closed his eyes.

"Once upon a time, there were three little pigs." Ke Lei's voice was steady and calm, without the professionalism of a storyteller at all, like a reading machine, "They planned to build a house for the princess."

"Are you sure we don't need to remind the boss that there are no princes and princesses in this story?" Ares peeked through the door, feeling very worried.

Ina and Natasha had a great understanding, each of them lifted his arm and threw him on the deck.

Ming Chuan: "..."

"Then the princess married the three little pigs?" After hearing the whole story, Liu Yunchen confirmed, three? "

Yi Na held back her laughter and trembled all over, she really wanted to record this fairy tale and sell it to the tabloids in the imperial capital.

Ke Lei coughed and replied, "One of them."

"Which one?" Liu Yunchen asked.

Ke Lei said casually, "The fattest one."

"Wow, is that so?" was written all over Liu Yunchen's face.

Corey: "..."

"It's a very strange story." Liu Yunchen lay down and covered the quilt, "I need 10 minutes to digest."

Ke Lei rubbed his temples, feeling distressed.

"Why is the boss so willing to be bullied by Chen?" Ares is very puzzled, "Even I can see that this is a childish prank." There is no technical content, and he has no doubt that if Chen If it were him, the result would be to be thrown out of the cabin by the boss, or even thrown into the sea.

Both Ina and Natasha looked at him with enigmatic eyes.

Ares felt discriminated against.
