Jiang Yan panted and sat up from the bed, breathing rapidly, the disordered mental power fluctuated in his blood like a tsunami, making him miserable even when he was unconscious.

The intimate body-to-body contact conveyed a scorching temperature, and the fiery emotions that had been suppressed for many years were ready to move again.Jiang Yan managed to stabilize his trembling body, raised his head from composure, and saw the expected concern in the eyes of the person holding him.

The hand on his waist is strong and powerful, and the eyes are sharp and majestic, but when facing him, they always inadvertently reveal deep affection, silently expressing strong love.

"Marshal..." Jiang Yan murmured, softly calling out a title that he hadn't called out for many years, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously, and even his brows stretched.

"En." Duan Chen's eyes moved down slowly, and fell on his extremely pale lips, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but he didn't see through him.He is not an extremely strong person, but he is always so cruel to himself, even trying to bear it quietly in front of himself.

"Duan Chen." After a long time, Jiang Yan called his name again, grasping the collar of his shirt feebly with his fingers, as if he would fall from his arms as soon as he let go.

"I'm here," Duan Chen responded in a low voice, paused, and asked the question that he had been wondering all along, "How do you know I'm here?"

Jiang Yan was startled, his eyes dimmed a bit, he turned his head away, and replied truthfully: "Someone informed me."

Duan Chen didn't ask who it was, just watched him quietly, wondering what he was thinking.

Jiang Yan was also silent, but he felt that the gaze that fell on him was a little hotter.He knew that he couldn't hide it from Duan Chen, Zhuo Yuan was his adjutant, the only one who escaped successfully under Duan Chen's cover, how could Duan Chen not think that he found him?

"Have you been in touch for so many years?" After a long confrontation, Duan Chen spoke lightly, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was forbearing.

"Don't guess, it's not as good as you think—" Jiang Yan clenched his fists, and suddenly raised his head, his face pale.Does he doubt himself that much?Since when has there been suspicion between them?

"I'm sorry, I..." Seeing him enduring the pain so hard, Duan Chen's heart softened, and he immediately regretted what he said just now, and his tone softened, "You came to save me, I believe you love me."

"Duan Chen," Jiang Yan lowered his head, and abruptly changed the subject, "Can you get me something to eat?"

"I'm going to prepare food," Duan Chen's tone flashed imperceptible joy, and he carefully supported Jiang Yan to lie down, his resolute face seemed to be coated with a layer of moonlight, forming a soft illusion in his eyes, "You have a good rest."

Jiang Yan closed his eyes and tried his best to control his breathing so that his condition would not look too bad, but fine beads of sweat gradually ooze from his forehead.

Just concentrating almost made every muscle in his body tense. The moment he heard Duan Chen close the door, he immediately lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed.

The communication terminal displays the message from the W company mercenary group.

Jiang Yan's eyes quickly glanced through every message in the past few days, and he made a decision in an instant. Jiang Yan straightened his clothes, got off the bed, and just took a step, the mental power lurking in his veins that was about to move burst. He turned into a scourge to devour him.

Jiang Yan held onto the edge of the bed in time, and his leg muscles became weak for a while, making him half-kneel down, and it took a while before he could stand up again.

The injection that Zhuo Yuan gave him was too powerful, and it conflicted with the medicine he had been taking for a long time. Now the side effects were sweeping over his whole body, and he knew exactly how fragile his body was now.Calmness and rationality are the labels attached to a guide, but now he can't even control his own mental power...

The pain was all too familiar to him, haunting him like a nightmare more than 20 years ago—a symptom of loss of control. After blocking the military tower with Ye Lin more than 20 years ago, when he returned to the military headquarters, what awaited him was the military headquarters' crossing the river and demolishing bridges - groundless suspicions, shady and despicable methods, one after another, one after another, they were all To force him to retire.

——I'm sorry, Admiral Jiang Yan, we suspect that you have also undergone transformation when you were lurking in the military tower...

——Do you have the heart to watch Marshal Duan Chen being suspected by the military because of you?

——This is the latest reagent developed by the Central Hospital, which can detect your wizard element. As long as you pass the test, you and the Marshal will be free again.We're not questioning your ability to do things, we're not trying to control you, just your body.

——We are very sorry for your loss of mental power... The military department can arrange you to work in the academy or the central hospital. You are definitely the most qualified person to be the instructor of the academy.

In an instant, the past flashed into reality, blurring his mind, making it almost impossible for him to tell what was real.

There is not much time left for him now, Jiang Yan bit his pale lower lip, the pain forced him to reach out and touch the last remaining injection on his body, almost recklessly eager to use it to relieve the pain in front of him.However, the moment his finger touched the cold needle, that resolute and majestic face flashed in his mind, his ice blue eyes were like the deepest sea, enveloping everything about him...

His body was hot and cold, Jiang Yan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the instinctive desire that filled his eyes just now subsided a lot. He gently pressed his lips together, took out the needle tube, and crushed the needle tube into pieces with force. hands.

The fragments scratched his arm, and the injection that flowed from his fingers fell to the ground with an icy temperature that made him tremble, which made him unable to retreat from his rationality.

Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, without delaying any more, he stretched out his hand to open the door, and walked out resolutely.

The cool wind poured into the collar, blowing away the remaining warmth on his body, but instead made him wake up a lot.

Leaving the area where the Lightning Legion was stationed, the journey went uncharacteristically smoothly. Although Jiang Yan had doubts in his heart, he couldn't calm down and think because of the abnormally fluctuating mental power in his body.

The thick darkness, the smell of blood, and the lingering gunpowder smoke all mobilized the fighting instinct in his bones and blood, indicating where he should go, until he saw the person standing in the depths of the darkness who had been waiting for him for a long time .

"Stop." Duan Chen said coldly, his face was shrouded in darkness, so he couldn't see clearly the disappointment, anger, and complex emotions mixed with longing and suspicion over the years.

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, pretended not to hear, and flashed past that person as fast as he could, but was stopped by the other person.

"I order you as the marshal, stop." Duan Chen raised his voice, even he didn't realize how harsh his tone was just now.He had never doubted Jiang Yan's feelings for him like this. Everything that Jiang Yan did for him more than 20 years ago is vivid in his mind, but why, now he refuses to tell him anything, even refuses to see himself?

The figure in the darkness froze, and with the flickering light, even with the vague outline, Duan Chen could identify that person at any time.

"We...will we never be able to face it together?" After a long time, Duan Chen's trembling voice sounded again, every word was like a knife piercing into his heart.

Jiang Yan was a little astonished, the expression on his face changed from panic to only sadness, joy and love were wiped away by this sadness, even hatred was wiped away.

Jiang Yan blinked, feeling that his eyes were moist, so he blinked hard a few more times until the first tear fell.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't hide.Just like he couldn't escape the fate of being forced to retire, he couldn't escape this sentinel from beginning to end in his life.

"You're right..." Jiang Yan smiled at him, it was a sad smile, accompanied by bloodstains on his lips, every sound suppressed the sharp pain in his chest.

He slowly stroked that longing face, and with his arm that could hardly stop the trembling, his fingers were cold and stiff: "Marshal, I should confess everything to you."

Feeling his trembling, Duan Chen's heart trembled, and he almost blurted out impulsive words: "Will you go home with me?"

He was talking about going home, not back to the Commonwealth, back to the Lightning Corps.

In exchange for a long silence, the never-broken spiritual connection told him over and over again that his guide wanted to reject him.A trace of anger suddenly rose in Duan Chen's heart. He took a step closer to Jiang Yan and grabbed his arm involuntarily, with a tough and resolute attitude, but Jiang Yan did not resist.

Just as Duan Chen was about to say something, Jiang Yan spoke first.

"If at that time I still..." Jiang Yan's voice stopped suddenly. There was never such an urge to forget everything that had to be done, and he was so weak that he just wanted to go home with him.

In the middle of speaking, he paused, quickly restrained his emotions, and looked up at him with calm eyes: "Marshal, I need to report to you about the W company that I have investigated over the years."

**

Lanta King Palace.

The golden sunlight shines in through the arched floor-to-ceiling windows, lazily falling on the colorful murals carved with war scenes, casting a layer of gentle light on killing and death.

The lake reflected the bright light, the flying birds sang on the shoulders of the sculptures, the roses bloomed silently, and the attendants and guards walked back and forth on the black and white checkered floor, as if no one was aware of what was about to come.

The battle outside is imminent, but here is still a quiet and peaceful appearance.

"Your Majesty, the news that the Imperial Revenant was out of order a few days ago should be true. Duke Chelman has left Lanta overnight, and I don't think he will be back in a short time." Dillwan He bent down and opened his mouth to interrupt Lu Chen's thoughts.

"It seems that the fault seems to be serious?" Lu Chen turned around in surprise. The Undead is the most feared weapon of the empire. Not to mention the Lanta Kingdom, even the two D-class warships of the Federation may not be opponents. .The Empire has never made a mistake in the maintenance of the Undead, and now even Min Han has to be recalled by the Empire to solve the failure of the Undead. It can be seen that the failure of the Undead is by no means a glitch.

"It doesn't matter," Dill said faintly revealing a hint of excitement. He had waited too long for this day. "As long as that guy Chelman is away, it is the best chance for us to do something."

Lu Chen knew what Dill meant very well.The queen died of illness, Solo was imprisoned by the Federation, Nikon did not hold military power in the royal family, and other forces were so insignificant that after the Lanta Kingdom fell into chaos, almost no one could stand up to them.But although he was able to take this opportunity to become the king of Lanta Kingdom, the political party headed by Solo is still eyeing him under the leadership of Duke Chelman, ready to replace him at any time.Among the royal family, there are not a few supporters of Solo, and with the help of the empire behind them, the threat cannot be underestimated. Only by completely eliminating the power of Solo's United Empire can they gain a firm foundation in the royal family.

And now is the best time.

Lu Chen looked at him thoughtfully for a while: "Is our army ready?"

"Ready to attack at any time," Dill replied with the determination of a knight, "I will always be by your side, support you, protect you, and assist you until the end of my life."

"Okay, send an order immediately to attack the Temple of Holy Grace, send an elite team to cut off the transportation channel with the empire first, and try to launch a sneak attack with internal and external cooperation." Lu Chen nodded solemnly, "I hope this time, we can completely wipe out the all obstacles."

"Of course," Dill couldn't help laughing, "You have to have information about our army, and you have to have confidence in me."

Dark clouds shrouded the sky, lightning irradiated the distorted faces on the murals, the thunder frightened the birds, and the dark tide under the lake surface was turbulent, like a harbinger of a storm.

"Wait," Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, and stopped Dill who was about to leave, "...how is he? Any news?"

Dill was silent for a long time, but he still chose to answer truthfully: "As far as I know, people from the Federation are still chasing him everywhere, and his whereabouts may have been discovered by the military department."

"..." Lu Chen's body stiffened for a while, staring at him in a daze, speechless.

"At this time, I'm afraid we don't have any extra energy..." Dill reminded tactfully, he knew that Lu Chen would understand that the friends he played with since childhood are not indiscriminate, and they still have Lanta on their shoulders. country's responsibility.

"I understand." Lu Chen raised his head and sighed.
