Anyway, he is now married to a woman who has won the first prize in the imperial examination. It’s not a good thing for a hero to brag about his past achievements.
Mu En asked again, "Did Dad get any reward for being awarded the medal?"
Leon nodded, "Yes, money, food, clothes, and so on, all kinds of things. The members of our team said that every time I come out of the Imperial City, it seems like I come here to buy goods."
Mu En covered her mouth and chuckled, "Dad must have been a very cool and handsome man when he was young."
"So, your father is not young now?"
"You are already a 23-year-old uncle~"
Leon pinched his daughter’s cheek, “I’m an uncle at 23, so what are you at 22? Huh?”
"She is the uncle's daughter."
While the father and daughter were joking, there was new movement at the gate of the imperial city.
The two stopped and looked down.
It was a relatively simple carriage. After it stopped, three people got off.
Leon glanced at the three people's attire, and observed their posture and steps, guessing that these three people should be service personnel who had just retired from the war front.
As for whether they belonged to the Dragon Slayer Army, he couldn't tell.
However, Mu En recognized these three guys at a glance.
"It's 'Three-Base Special Forces'." Moon said this not-so-serious group name in a serious tone.
Leon was stunned. "Pheasant? What pheasant? Honey, are you starving?"
"It's not pheasant, it's 'Sanji'."
Mu En explained seriously, "Five years after you disappeared, Dad, the Empire gradually gained the upper hand in the Human-Dragon War, thanks to these three people."
Leon raised an eyebrow, "They...are very strong?"
"Well, according to the survivors of the defeated tribes, these three guys are ridiculously strong. It feels like we have returned to the era ruled by black armor."
Ah ~
Dad also misses the era when black armor ruled.
After secretly sighing for a moment, Leon asked, "Do you have any specific information about these three people?"
"Well...I only know their names."
Mu En thought about it and said,
"Kini, Kitai, Kimei."
"...What a familiar name. It reminds me of an old friend."
Casmodeus, bring your second daughter to the court session.
Chapter 272: 80 The Melkvi Family's One-on-Three Strategy
"The Three-Kit Special Forces is just a nickname based on the names of those three guys."
Three days later, the father and his two daughters reunited.
Noah explained the detailed information of the three guys to Leon.
"Their real code name is 'Sharp Knife'. As the name suggests, the three of them were sharp-knife-level soldiers trained by the Empire fifteen years ago, which was five years after you disappeared. Each of them possesses extremely strong individual combat capabilities."
After a pause, Noa added, "Some say... they even surpassed the black armor of that time."
"Uh-huh?!"
General Lai was no longer sleepy when he heard this.
"Who said that? Who said that?"
Noa expected this reaction from him, so she just spread her hands and said, "That's what all defeated dragons say."
"Although these guys are very strong, the power they use... doesn't seem to be very stable."
Orrola pushed up her glasses and said, "I happened to see their fight a few years ago. The three of them worked together perfectly, but in the middle of the fight, Captain Gini's power seemed to get out of control, which led to the hasty end of the fight. And, big sister, you've had this feeling too, right? The power they used--"
Noa took over her sister's words and added, "It doesn't belong to them."
"Not theirs? What do you mean?"
"It's just a feeling. Their magic is very strange, but I can't tell what's strange about it." Orrola said, "Well, that's not the point. The point is that the Sharp Knife Special Forces came to the Imperial City this time, and they must have made meritorious contributions and been awarded medals, right?"
Just as Leon had said to Mu En a few days ago, soldiers fighting on the front line, no matter how high their rank, could not enter and leave the imperial city at will except to be awarded medals.
No matter whether you are Sanji, Shanji or Sankun, none of them will work.
"You want to sneak in during the investiture ceremony?"
Leon said, "This may not be realistic. The awarding ceremony will also be held inside the Imperial City. During the ceremony, no one needs to carry any weapons when entering or leaving the Imperial City. They will be searched."
Noa shook her head. "It's impossible to enter the Imperial City. The barrier is too complicated. Even Xiaoguang can't break it. So we can only use the second countermeasure we used before, which is to capture people and torture them."
"Catch those three guys?"
"No, the three members of the Sharp Knife Special Forces don't know where the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale is stored."
Noa said, "But their superiors should know."
"boss?"
"A man named Nacho Salaman." Noa said, "He is now in charge of the liaison between the Dragon Slayers and the Imperial City. Theoretically, the entire Dragon Slayers are under his control. Nacho - huh? What's that expression on your face? It looks like you know this Nacho?"
Leon touched his chin, frowned slightly, and nodded, "Well, twenty years ago, he was just a civilian in the Dragon Slayer Army. I didn't expect that he has now climbed to the position of the political boss of the Dragon Slayer Army."
'Boss' or 'number one' is just a title that is easy to understand.
In fact, it is far from enough to rely on one person alone to manage a dragon-slaying army of hundreds of thousands of people.
Leon's specific official position at that time was 'commander-in-chief on the battlefield', which can be simply understood as "when the gunfire sounds, even if the division commander comes, he has to listen to me."
As for outside the battlefield, there are numerous officials of high and low rank.
The position that Noa just mentioned, "responsible for the liaison between the Dragon Slayers and the royal family", can also be understood as a kind of 'top leader'.
So this Nacho...he was promoted from a small clerk to one of the bosses, and he is still a guy who is focused on his career.
"The higher the rank, the more likely he is to know the location of the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale." Orrola said.
"Well, if you want to capture Nacho and torture him, do you have his route of action?" asked Lai.
"My informant brought new information yesterday. After the Sharp Knife Trio is awarded medals, Nacho will host a banquet for them at the 'Hisna Manor' outside the Imperial City. Nacho does this every time he comes back to be awarded medals."
Leon suddenly realized and said, "This is indeed the custom of the Dragon Slayers. We did the same back then. So the welcoming dinner that Nacho is holding for them is our chance, right?"
"That's right. But even with a clear goal, we still have to make a more thorough and detailed plan, because Nacho will book the entire manor and guards will guard every exit."
"Well, leave this part to me. I can successfully approach Nacho without being discovered." Leon said.
"Okay. Nacho will arrive at Hisna Manor in advance, and that should be the best time for you to approach him." Noah said.
Leon was startled. “Is this also the information you provided to the informant?”
"Well, over the years, Nacho has always gone to the manor in advance. It's not out of politeness, but just to take the initiative in the banquet."
Noa shrugged, "This guy seems to want to control everyone and everything no matter where he is."
"You are able to find out the details of the Dragon Slayer Army's political boss so clearly. I am becoming more and more curious about you as an informant."
Leon asked slowly, "So, when can I meet this mysterious boss?"
"No rush. Once we catch Nacho and she has completed her work, we will probably be able to meet her."
Noa said, "Until then, you can raise your expectations as much as you want."
Leon thought that if his eldest daughter was born in a peaceful era, she would become an excellent serial novelist.
She knows the Riddler too well.
Noah then provided Nacho's itinerary and time to help Leon make a more specific plan.
After determining everyone's responsibilities in this operation, the father and daughter started talking about the Sharp Knife Special Forces.
"Although they are nominally affiliated with the Dragon Slayer Army, they are not bound by the Dragon Slayer Army and are directly under the command of the royal family."
Noa said, "Fifteen years ago, the Sharp Blade Trio emerged from nowhere, using a force that was enough to rival the ancient Dragon King, and they won victory after victory on the human-dragon battlefield."
Orrola added, "A few years ago, Aunt Isa was forced to migrate with her people to the heartland of the Dragon Clan due to the pressure from these three guys. It was safer there, but this is only a delaying tactic. If we continue to advance at this speed, in less than ten years, the Empire will have penetrated deeper into the Dragon Clan."
"By then, it will be useless to hide anywhere."
Leon began to think.
The sharp knife trio only became active on the battlefield five years after his disappearance.
However, Leon had never heard of the names of these three people during his service.
Could he be a peerless master secretly trained by the empire?
not necessarily.
If they are the secret weapon of the empire, then why didn't these people help when General Lai was wreaking havoc in the empire, cleaning out the traitors, or fighting against Star?
Therefore, it is very likely that these three people grew up in the five years after his disappearance - or, in other words, acquired such powerful strength in some way.
"You just said that the power of the Sharp Knife Trio doesn't feel like their own?" Leon asked.
"Yes. When we use magic normally, the steps can be simply understood as 'concentrating power and then releasing it'."
Noa said, "But they give me the feeling that they are, 'borrowing power from somewhere and then releasing it.' And they will have a reaction of losing control of the power, which is too abnormal."
"Didn't your informant find out about their past?"
Noa shook her head. "No. The Sharp Knife Trio really just appeared out of nowhere, not giving anyone time to react."
Orrola's expression was solemn. "They are very strong. As the other dragon survivors said, they are strong enough to rival the ancient dragon kings."
Mu En sat aside, curled up her long legs, hugged her knees with her hands. Faced with the serious discussion atmosphere, she didn't dare to say anything and could only listen silently.
But she is also very clear about the strength of the Sharp Knife Special Forces.
If I have to fight these three guys in the end, I don’t know if I can win.
"Dad." Orrola broke the slightly oppressive silence.
"Ok?"
"I just saw you distracted, what were you thinking about?"
"Ah... I just thought of something that happened in the past. It's quite interesting." Leon sat cross-legged on the ground with his head down, and chuckled as he spoke.
Noa blinked, "What makes you laugh so happily?"
"You."
"I?"
Leon looked up at his eldest daughter. "The Sharp Knife Special Forces, they are three people. This reminds me of when Noah was a kid at Saint Heath College, she was fighting one against three."
Hearing this, the pink-haired funny guy immediately let go of his depression, "What do you mean one against three? When did big sister start fighting one against three? How come I have never heard of it? Explain it in detail!"
Leon vividly told his little daughter about Noah's glorious achievements in the past.
After hearing this, Orrola patted her eldest sister on the shoulder and said, "As expected of you, the head of the Melkvi family!"
Noah blushed a little when she was praised, and turned her head away. Her arrogant look was exactly the same as her mother's. "Don't say anything nonsense, I'm just fighting against school bullying."
"So, I think there's nothing to be afraid of the Sharp Knife Special Forces. If necessary, Dad will show you what our ancestral one-on-three strategy means."
Noa was stunned. Hey, why is Old Deng so crazy?
oh~~~
understood.
This is what mom said at the beginning, let him save up some blue bars, and he became crazy to no limit.
However, his arrogance is also based on his strength.
As this man's daughter, Noa never doubted his strength.
