Chapter 103: Cain Sobel
"What's so interesting about this?" Just then, at noon the next day, when Liu Yu ran to a catapult and curiously touched its black iron surface, a voice with a few smiles and a few intimate words suddenly came.
Liu Yu had known for a long time that someone was following him, but with tens of thousands of soldiers passing through the pass every day, it was normal to have people walking around, so he didn't think much of it. However, as soon as he heard this somewhat familiar voice, his mind suddenly recalled a familiar face.
"Hmm! Big brother! ..... Haha! It's really you!" Liu Yu turned around with a few joyful intentions, only to find that behind him, several meters away, stood a young Huang Jinbao wearing a black long gown, with a smile all over his face and a robust physique. As Liu Yu looked at him with a surprised expression, the young Huang Jinbao also walked towards him with a big laugh, and the two of them hugged each other without saying a word.
This black-robed, golden-haired Bimon is of course Liu Yu's paternal uncle, the eldest grandson of his third grandfather, Bern Southwell. Since Bern was the oldest among their generation in the same clan as Liu Yu, he was called "Big Brother" by Liu Yu, Feite and Ailina.
Bo Nan had always taken on the responsibility of being an older brother, taking care of Liu Yu and the others when they were younger. Now, after three years, he found that his younger cousin had become quite strong, both in appearance and temperament, a powerful Golden Guardian warrior.
"Haha! You've grown taller and stronger!" He heavily patted Liu Yu's broad shoulder. It had been several years since Bei Nan last saw his elder brother, and now that they met again, he found that his younger cousin had transformed into a tall and robust Golden Warrior of the Blazing Inferno.
"Big brother, you're not bad either. Not only are you taller and stronger, but your cultivation has also improved a lot!" Liu Yu naturally sensed the change in his elder cousin's strength as he leaned in close. When Bernoulli left the Blood Refining Camp, he was just like most of the Golden Guards, a 4th-stage Great Warrior. Now, three years have passed and he already possesses mid-6th stage Great General cultivation.
"That's it! In the past three years, I've been on the verge of life and death seven or eight times. If I didn't improve quickly, how could I be worthy of myself?" Bernan replied to Liu Yu with a self-satisfied expression, clearly pleased with his own progress.
"Oh, seven or eight times at the brink of life and death, then you must tell me about it. I can see that you don't have any military duties today, let's find a place to sit down and chat." As soon as Liu Yu heard Bo Nan's words, his interest was piqued, and he very much wanted to know about his experiences in the Second Division over the past few years.
"Haha, don't worry about that for now. You haven't met my father yet, have you? He asked me to find you and bring you over." Facing Liu Yu's enthusiasm, Bo Nan naturally explained his purpose first.
"Hmm, I saw that my uncle was very busy yesterday, so I didn't go to disturb him. Since that's the case, let's go see my uncle first!" It wasn't too unexpected for Liu Yu to hear that his father, the leader of the Imperial Guard, Louis, wanted to see him.
Because the various families of the Bi Mon tribe generally strengthened their relationships before a big battle, the elders in the army would usually summon the younger ones to meet. This was basically a custom for each family. Coincidentally, Liu Yu saw Louis and several lieutenant officers busy directing defensive arrangements and setting up camp yesterday, so he didn't go disturb him.
"It's okay, go! Don't let my father wait for too long!"
"Good..."
............
Liu Yu and Bo Nan chatted casually about their extraordinary experiences in the military over the past few years as they strolled towards the newly set up military camp behind the fortress, passing by the bluestone barracks on both sides of the valley.
The recent arrival of a large number of reinforcements has made the relatively comfortable and slightly spacious barracks in Emalbennon Fortress clearly insufficient. In addition, many of the mages led by Elder Tiro are old men at the family level, so to take care of them, the commander of the fortress left some spare barracks for them. As a result, several supporting forces such as the Second Regiment and the Guard Battalion can only live in the newly set up military tents behind the fortress.
Liu Yu and Bo Nan passed through the hundreds of military tents behind the fortress, and a large golden tent with a sharp top appeared. Since the Mongols valued gold, the Beast King was naturally the most authoritative user of gold in the kingdom, so his guards could only use light gold to highlight the status of the Beast King.
However, they had just walked about 20-30 meters away from the main military account when a golden Bimon wearing a gold-colored uniform, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a gold medal on his chest, came over from the other side under the escort of several strong Bimon warriors. They were also heading towards Louis's military account, but they would have to meet Liu Yu and his party first.
"Below, I have seen the commander of the Bi Mong!" Before the other side approached, Bo Nan and Liu Yu stood on the side of the road, bowing to the golden Bi Mong. This golden Bi Mong, surrounded by several Bi Mong warriors, was wearing the standard attire and accessories of a Bi Mong commander, so although Liu Yu did not recognize him, he bowed along with Bo Nan.
In a highly militarized society like the Bei Mo tribe, whether or not they were under the same command, high-ranking officers and low-ranking soldiers had to maintain corresponding etiquette, otherwise they would be severely punished. Moreover, after yesterday's understanding, Liu Yu also knew very clearly who the Duwei in front of him was.
"Alright, let's get up!" The golden middle-aged man raised his hand slightly, gesturing for Liu Yu and Bo Nan to stand up.
"Bo Nan, your father is looking for you?" Just as Liu Yu and Bo Nan were standing up straight, this Huang Jin Bi Meng had already walked one or two steps forward, but suddenly turned his head to ask Bo Nan a question.
"Returning to General Haido, my father wants to meet the sons of the military families who are under his command. This is my cousin, and I have been ordered to bring him to see my father." The tall Bernam bowed again respectfully in response to the other's question.
Liu Yu, who was carefully observing from the side, found that Bo Nan's words were extremely respectful to this Duwei gentleman, and this respect seemed to have a few points of heartfelt admiration in addition to the ceremonial aspects.
"Oh, your cousin, among the younger generation of the Wei family, there are quite a few men who can compare to Bimont, but as for those who can compare to Huang Jin, there aren't many. Whose son is he, Jiren's or...?" The commander became interested when he heard that Liu Yu was Bernan's cousin and completely turned around to look at Bernan and Liu Yu, asking.
"His Excellency, the Duke's son is Alexander." Bernard replied with his usual sincerity.
"Da Duwei! ... Are you the son of Da Duwei?" Upon hearing Bern's response, the Duwei's eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but in the next breath, he regained his usual calm demeanor, as if he hadn't really been surprised at all.
"Under the command of Alexander, I have seen the Honorable Governor." The governor's next sentence was addressed to Liu Yu, and out of courtesy, Liu Yu naturally had to respond to the question. However, Liu Yu did not want to directly say that he was the son of the Grand Governor, so he reported his own name while bowing to indicate acknowledgement.
"Alexander, yes, the old man and I have mentioned you before, saying that you are quite knowledgeable. Now it seems that your cultivation is not bad either, but as a sixth-level great demon commander, you are only one step away from becoming a sixth-level battle general, which is very good!" The lieutenant stood still for a moment, smiled faintly, and praised Liu Yu for two sentences before turning around to continue walking towards Louis' military account.
"Thanks to the great General Xie Dou!" Although the other party had already walked a few meters away after finishing speaking, Liu Yu still bowed his head and thanked him, doing so with impeccable etiquette.
"Let's wait for the commander to come out, and then we'll go in to see Father." After the golden armor commander left a few meters away, Bernan pointed to the side of a military tent and gestured for Liu Yu and him to sit on the ground beside the tent and wait for the commander to leave before going back inside.
"Good!" Looking at the distant golden military tent entrance, Liu Yu slightly furrowed his brow and then nodded in agreement with Bernoulli's proposal.
There are currently two lieutenant-level officers in the Emraldorn garrison, one of whom is his cousin King's Guard Commander Louis, and the other is the lieutenant of the Second Regiment. However, among these two, only the latter can be called a lieutenant, namely the famous general of the Beastman Kingdom, Cain Sobel.
Liu Yu had met Cain several times at the Beast King's Temple banquet on the Beast God Festival before going to train in the Great Camp, but at that time, the dispute over the throne between Cain and Gaia had not been fully unfolded. Moreover, he was focused on following the Will of the Guide to understand the situation on the continent of Pilon, so he didn't care about these outsiders with no blood relationship, therefore the image of Cain in his memory was very faint.
It wasn't until later, as his father Gaya and he continued to clash in secret, that the name of this rising star among the Mongol tribes, Nuo Da, began to reach Liu Yu's ears. Unfortunately, after that, he never saw Kain again.
Today, he met one of the few opponents in the kingdom who could match his father Gaiya, and Liu Yu had a different feeling. He naturally compared him to his father Gaiya and several other Dalu generals he had seen before.
