Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

"Black Mountain Knight and Rune, it's a pleasure to meet you two in the Plague Sea."

At the Iron Blood Corps headquarters, Major General Aspas stared silently at the two people in front of him.

Rune and the Black Mountain Knight were also looking at the general in front of them who was commanding tens of thousands of people in battle.

In the empire, anyone who could reach the junior level or above could be considered a legend among his peers.

None of them is a vegetarian, and everyone's story is spread all over the world.

Aspas also has his own wonderful experience.

Before coming, Black Mountain Knight had already told Rune about this major general.

He has a classic template.

He had a miserable childhood and his parents died at the hands of a plague monster.

He worked hard and was guided by his mentor along the way. Enshi eventually died on the battlefield. He also inherited his mentor's will and continued to fight against the Plague Legion.

Hundreds of thousands of enemy troops were annihilated, and in the most intense battle, the clone of the Plague Legion general with Sequence 3 was besieged and killed, causing heavy losses to the enemy.

He climbed to this position through battles of blood and fire.

Now approaching 50 years old, he has shed his youthfulness and immaturity and has become an experienced and decisive elder.

In terms of strength, Aspas was equally strong, being at the peak of Sequence 4.

Even the Black Mountain Knight could only call him "senior" in front of him.

Rune looked at Aspas in front of him and did not dare to say anything for the time being.

Although this person said that he was happy to see him, there was no joy on his face.

Obviously, his many years of experience in officialdom and on the battlefield had made it so that his emotions were not revealed on his face.

Even the occasional display of emotion might be a means of confusing the enemy.

Aspas observed Rune and the Black Mountain Knight for a while.

Especially on Rune, it stayed longer.

After a moment, he continued, "You two are really brave. You just entered the battlefield of the epidemic sea, and in less than 6 days, you have already turned the entire battlefield into a mess."

"Now, the three forces are fighting in the entire battlefield, and it is extremely chaotic."

"Now I want to ask you what on earth were you thinking to make such a big fuss?"

The Black Mountain Knight replied: "Dear Major General Aspas, the chaos at this time was not intentional on our part."

Before he could finish his words, Aspas raised his hand to stop him, and waved his hand towards Rune, signaling Rune to speak.

Rune was also slightly surprised. After exchanging a glance with the Black Mountain Knight, he continued, "I don't have any thoughts. I just want to save my life."

"But I think our actions did not bring any crisis or difficulties to the Iron Blood Army. Instead, they gave the Iron Blood Army a chance to find a fighting opportunity."

Major General Aspas did not object to what Rune said. He said, "You are indeed right. The actions of the two of you have given the Iron Blood Corps a good opportunity."

"I think that starting from today, the balance of the entire battlefield will be broken. Our Iron Blood Third Army has a large advantage, and the situation on the battlefield of the Sea of ​​Epidemic will become better and better in the future."

"In this regard, I really admire you. The Epidemic Sea Battlefield and the Iron Blood Legion also welcome explorers like you who can break the deadlock and bring unexpected surprises."

"We will need your help to the Iron Blood Army after this."

"In fact, the truth that I'm confused about is that I'm not surprised that a Black Mountain Knight of Sequence 4 could make such a big fuss in the Plague Sea battlefield. But you, Rune, a colonel from Beloberg, are only a Sequence 6. How can you be so bold and move freely among the monsters?"

"I think even a Sequence 4 Black Mountain Knight can't protect you everywhere."

"When you think about it this way, you are indeed an extraordinary guy."

As he spoke, his aura rushed towards Rune like a tidal wave, and Rune's blood was naturally stimulated by this power. "

Rune gritted his teeth and resisted; the indescribable power was too strong.

As the power approaches, the body's instinct begins to stimulate the potential within.

Aspas's power gradually occupied the space around Rune's body.

As his power approached, Aspas's expression gradually changed from solemn to doubt and then to slight shock.

When his power was just a little bit away from reaching Rune's body, he instantly retracted it.

Rune let out a long breath.

The difference between Aspas in front of him and the Black Mountain Knight is only that between Sequence 4 and Sequence 4 Peak.

But Rune could basically judge from his own experience that Aspas was seven or eight times more powerful than the Black Mountain Knight.

Of course, this is just Rune's superficial judgment as a low-sequence person, but it is enough to prove Aspas's strength.

A person who can be promoted to major general in the imperial city and is also the leader of a legion and a veteran of many battles naturally has this confidence.

Aspas couldn't sit still anymore when he saw Rune breathing heavily.

He actually stood up and took two steps forward, his eyes shining as he looked at Rune and said, "Your strength seems to be far beyond my imagination. No wonder you can shuttle through the monsters with the Black Mountain Knight!"

"He is obviously only a low-Sequence 6, but his hidden power is enough to rival the strong ones in Sequence 5, and can even threaten Sequence 4."

"How did you do it?"

He stared at Rune intently, and after a moment he sighed, "Forget it. You won't tell me even if I ask you, and I don't want to force you. Everyone has his own opportunities."

"But do you want to join our Iron Blood Corps? I can assure you that we will do our best to train you and invest in you. After you join the Corps, I can immediately report to the Empire and synchronize your military rank with the Imperial City, and then give you the position of Reserve Falling Star Commander."

After Aspas finished speaking, he looked at Rune with anticipation.

However, Rune shook his head and rejected Aspas' proposal.

It has to be said that the conditions proposed by Aspas are also very tempting.

Synchronizing Beloberg's military rank to the Imperial City was equivalent to directly promoting him by two levels.

At the same time, in the legion, as the Falling Star Commander, which is the third-level official position under the legion commander, he can participate in the command of the operations room.

It was equivalent to directly transforming from a local colonel with nominal power into a colonel with real power in the empire.

The gap between the two is not a little bit.

But Rune has no intention of entering the battlefield and participating in the front-line fighting yet.

Although one can train oneself and gain greater authority and power in such a place, there are also more hidden dangers.

Rune was not afraid of death, he just understood that he had not yet reached the corresponding stage and it was too early to come here.

Maybe he will come here in the future.

But for now, he just regards this place as part of his experience.

What he really needs to do is all the things about Beloberg.

Finding the third alchemical element and advancing to Sequence 3 is the best result at the moment.

Aspas understood Rune's attitude and did not force it.

He said, "Since you don't want to join the Iron Blood Corps, I understand. Everyone has their own ideas, but people with your talent and ability will be welcomed no matter where you are. If you want to join our Iron Blood Corps in the future, I will welcome you at any time."

He nodded towards Rune, "One more thing. The information you reported this time mentioned the remains of the ancient gods, but our army has not obtained the corresponding things so far. I believe you have the remains of the ancient gods. Can you show them to me?"

Rune did not refuse Aspas' request. He directly took out the remains of the ancient god and handed them to the other party.

As the commander of the Iron Blood Legion, if the other party wanted to snatch their things, it would only take a glance and there was no need to ask them for them.

Aspas took the remains of the ancient god, explored it briefly, and wrote down all the data and information in it. Then he returned the remains of the ancient god to Rune and said, "I roughly understand the origin of this thing."

"It's not entirely true to say that it's the remains of an ancient god. This is what the ancient voodoo god left behind."

"Among the abilities that the Voodoo Ancient God is good at, besides poison, the other is medicine man. This is the remains of one of his medicine man clones."

“Although it is not as good as the remains of the real ancient gods, it is already a very powerful thing. If it is used properly, it can achieve good results as a material or a sacrifice.”

After saying that, he sat back in his seat, looked at the two and said, "This time, whether you did it intentionally or not, you finally helped our Iron Blood Corps to open up the situation. According to the rules of the Iron Blood Corps, you will be rewarded."

"As for the reward."

He thought about it.

"The Black Mountain Knight will reward you with a breath of iron and blood. It will be very helpful for you to consolidate the power in your body and stabilize your future development."

The Black Mountain Knight immediately bowed to Aspas to thank him. It can be seen that this thing is very good.

The Black Mountain Knight did not hide his desire for the iron and blood aura.

When Aspas looked at Rune, he looked at him for a moment and said, "As for you, how about a mecha?"

"A mecha?" Rune was slightly surprised and a little bit unbelievable.

After all, mechas are a scarce strategic resource on the front lines and are quite powerful.

Everyone who owns a mecha needs to register with the Empire, just like a driver's license. Without it, it is not legally owned.

Even if you operate the wrong mecha model, you will be hunted down by the Empire.

Therefore, he could only take back the broken mechas that Rune had collected before to study, and then imitate a set of high-quality mechas.

I don’t dare to actually use those finished mechas.

And now Aspas wants to give Rune a set of mecha, which is a pleasant surprise!

Hearing this, Lu En immediately responded: "Thank you, Major General."

Aspas didn't say anything else, just nodded silently, "I'll write you a note, and you two can go to the quartermaster's office to collect your rewards."

He hurriedly wrote a few lines, stamped them with the seal of the legion commander, and left his own scent on them.

After sending both of them away, another person appeared behind Aspas, a young man in a cloak.

Her voice was somewhat delicate: "This fellow named Rune is worthy of attention and has a promising future. But isn't it too expensive for you to give him a Meteor-class mecha? Their achievements this time are totally unworthy of this mecha."

Aspas said in a low voice: "His contribution this time is certainly not worthy of this Meteorite Armor."

"Even if he performs this feat ten or twenty times, he will still be far from reaching the feat level required to obtain this mecha."

"But what you don't understand is that if you give him this mecha, he will be registered in the Imperial Register. Then everyone will know that he received the mecha from my Iron Blood Third Legion, which means he is a member of my Iron Blood Third Legion."

"In this way, he will naturally come to the Iron Blood Legion and fight with us in the future. I can't let such a talent go."

"And another reason for giving him this mecha is to protect him. We don't want such a talented person to die in an accident. Giving him this mecha can be regarded as leaving him a trump card."

"Although he is quite powerful now, he is only a Sequence Six after all. He needs time to grow. It is understandable that he does not want to come to the front line."

"In short, this mecha is not a reward for him, but an investment in his potential."

"These are some very simple techniques for controlling people. You should learn more about them in the future."

The handsome young man behind him lowered his head, silently thinking about what Aspas had said before.

Rune and the Black Mountain Knight came to the Iron Blood Legion's quartermaster department.

When the Black Mountain Knight received the Iron Blood Aura, everyone around him cast envious glances at him.

It was at this time that Rune realized that in addition to 10 points, the Iron Blood Aura also required special approval from the command center before it could be exchanged. It was truly something that was out of stock.

Each wisp of iron-blooded aura is condensed by collecting various fighting intentions on the battlefield. For extraordinary people who practice physical skills, it has a powerful effect of consolidating physical strength and maintaining a stable realm.

When the people from the Quartermaster Department saw Rune's approval note, they glared at Rune over and over again, then found their superiors, reported and confirmed that everything was correct, and then quietly led Rune into the Quartermaster Department.

A Meteorite-level mecha is no small matter.

In the Empire, mechas, like commanders, are divided into five levels.

Among them, the basic commanders and fighters are similar to the level of mechas such as demolition guerrillas.

Going further up, the mechas and officers and soldiers are divided into three levels: Sun, Moon and Star. These three levels have corresponding standard mechas.

At the top are the commanders and fighters with titles and their customized mechas.

Meteorite-class mechas, although nominally only the second level, are extremely rare on the battlefield.

Even within the Iron Blood Legion, there are only a hundred or so Meteorite-level mechas.

Even experienced warriors find it difficult to reach it.

And now, an explorer can actually obtain the personal approval of the commander of the Iron Blood Legion.

Giving him a Meteorite Mech is enough to show how much the Legion Commander values ​​him.

The moment Rune saw the Meteorite Mecha, he was also stunned.
