The next day, the 80,000-strong Silver Wing Legion continued to march towards the south.
The sergeants walked mainly at a leisurely pace, as if they were calm and composed.
From the whispers around him, Xu Fei learned that this era actually had a variety of troop transport vehicles such as magic crystal chariots and airships.
The August Empire's slow march was purely to demonstrate their force.
Because today, with the collapse of the Methra Empire, the landlocked country that has been oppressed for many years finally has the opportunity to rise.
"Little brother, I heard that you became a real man last night. I'm so happy and congratulations!"
The eldest prince Barga came closer with a smile and slapped someone on the shoulder.
The thick palm as big as a cattail leaf almost pushed Xu Fei off the horse.
"You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in Natalya. And it was in the evening, not at night! It took her an hour just to discuss the history of the continent."
Pushing the other person away impatiently, Xu Fei dusted his shoulders, deliberately showing an attitude of boredom.
Of course he knew what Varga's words were implying. In this era, most powerful people would have three or five lovers outside their homes.
Normally, Xu Fei should try his best to have a good relationship with this elder brother.
But his ultimate goal is just to complete the trial, and he doesn't want to get too involved with these 'consciousness fragments'.
"Hahaha, you're the younger brother after all! It's great to be young and make people envious in just one hour! Now the elder brother can only hold on for half an hour before he reaches his limit!"
Not only was Barga not angry when he heard this, but he once again enthusiastically hugged Xu Fei's shoulders and started talking.
"Nataya is a good girl. She is a good cook, understands etiquette, has excellent swordsmanship, has a well-behaved appearance, and has a kind character..."
"In addition to my family background, being a lover can provide you with great help. Hahaha, big brother supports you!"
"I told you I'm not a lover..." Xu Fei glanced sideways at Barga and frowned in displeasure.
"Brother, I understand! Just write guard or maid on the transfer document! Complete the procedures now!"
Barga gave a generous thumbs up and a flirtatious wink, then turned his horse and ran away.
"What do you understand? Are you crazy!?"
Seeing the opponent's back running wildly, Xu Fei was stunned for a moment.
Forget about having a neurotic father-in-law, would the heir to the throne of Augustus from two thousand years ago also have such virtue?
Sure enough, another world is a different world, and the mentality of those in power is hugely different from that of the earth and stars...
in the coming days.
The female knight Nataya has become Xu Fei's exclusive bodyguard. She is ecstatic and often uneasy at the same time.
Because Xu Fei's attitude towards her was unreasonable, not only did he not ask her to sleep with her, he even refused to attend to daily chores.
The eldest prince, Barga, would hang out with Xu Fei whenever he had time, asking questions and making jokes.
Although the method is clumsy, it always reflects the concern of an elder brother, without any hint of acting.
According to common sense, shouldn't there be a slight gap between the heirs?
Based on Barga's strange attitude, Xu Fei also conducted a side investigation to take precautions.
It turns out that two thousand years ago, except for a few countries that exclusively believed in the supreme god Vidal, most regions acquiesced in polygamy.
The four royal heirs who belong to the Silver Wing Legion were all born to the first princess of Augustus, Jelitare.
Xu Fei is their youngest brother.
Regardless of whether this taciturn seventeenth prince actually existed in history, the setting is that Xu Fei lost his mother in his early years and was depressed all day long, so his four brothers always cared about him.
During this expedition, the brothers and sisters forced Xu Fei to be brought along mainly to help him obtain military exploits.
After all, the competition for power within the royal family is very serious, and it is particularly important to have substantial achievements.
The boring march lasted for several days.
Xu Fei had no idea what was going to happen next.
Of course, there is a serious problem here.
That is, when it comes to marching and fighting, Xu Fei is a blank slate.
Nimbuende mainly teaches systematic knowledge, while Sirela's teaching scope is limited to individual combat and group cooperation.
His relative lack of knowledge and experience left him powerless.
In the end, all that could be done was to urge the eldest prince Barga to inspect military equipment, read battle reports, and pay more attention when encountering narrow terrain every day.
However, Barga seemed to have misunderstood something. With tears in his eyes, he praised Xu Fei for growing up and finally wanting to do something serious.
A week later, Xu Fei suddenly received a summons from the army commander.
"Your Highness, the former army is approaching the City of White Mist. Before the troops from various countries arrive, we need to eliminate the surrounding monsters as soon as possible to fulfill our responsibilities as hosts."
"Please lead the five hundred gryphon knights to catch up with the front army and rush for reinforcements."
The speaker was an old general with many vicissitudes of life.
He has a strong build, silver hair and short beard, and his whole body is covered in a very strange set of silver-white heavy armor.
Generally speaking, there are two weird things about it.
The thick three-stack shoulder armor extends downward from the shoulders, and its length has dropped to the thighs, which looks very awkward.
The joints of each part of the armor are inlaid with orange gems of different sizes, which are so dazzling that it hurts the eyes...
Xu Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Bakuruos, a loyal royalist figure.
He has been the commander of the Silver Wings for fifty years and has unparalleled prestige in the military.
Emperor Augustus had high hopes for this trip, and he accepted his appointment as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force.
The White Mist City Surda he spoke of was a small city located on the southern border of the August Empire.
Once used as a permanent fortress to resist the invasion of the Methra Empire, it is now used to resist the demon army's continued march north.
Without replying directly, Xu Fei first glanced at the two people behind Bakuruos,
The carefree eldest prince Barga was straight-backed and looked serious at this time. It could be seen from his rapidly blinking eyelids that he was very anxious at the moment, as if he was reminding Xu Fei to agree quickly.
Another blond old knight wearing standard plate armor should be the deputy commander Zhuo Qiute.
The old knight's face was expressionless, and there was a hint of contempt in his gaze.
After a brief silence.
Xu Fei raised his right hand high, took half a step back with his left foot, then lowered his head slightly, then turned his right hand over and placed it palm up in front of him.
This is a standard noble courtesy.
"Thank you, Legion Commander, for the opportunity. I will leave immediately to assist the front army."
Xu Fei did not give a military salute because the other party did not treat him as a soldier from the beginning.
Your Highness?
The commander of the Bakuruos Army usually calls the eldest prince Varga by his first name. Why should he be so respectful to him, a powerless seventeenth prince?
He clearly thinks that he is just a willful boy who lives in his comfort zone all year round, deliberately creating a sense of alienation.
