Within a week of arriving at Qianjun, Xu Fei fell into confusion.
It was different from the last time when we encountered the demon army within half a day.
Nearly half a month has passed in this world, but nothing has happened.
Could it be that I understood it wrong?
The words on the stone wall vaguely came to mind.
'The endless strife will be an opportunity for you to witness the great deeds of mankind. '
'Lead people to live and become wise. '
'This is a world of war and the origin of change. '
Perhaps the focus of the goddess Ishtar is to 'witness the great deeds of mankind', and not every time she needs to 'lead people to live'.
In the previous world, it was the early summer of 10629 in the Leitings continental calendar.
That was the moment when the Cataclysm originated.
His appearance near the southern transportation town of Tashala was tantamount to witnessing the beginning of the destruction of the Methra Empire and the starting point of the continent falling into war.
Protecting the people of Tashala from fleeing was just something that happened naturally in line with the background of the times.
In today's world, it is the autumn of 10638 in the mainland calendar.
The coalition forces of various countries went south and had a large-scale collision with the demon army for the first time.
In a battlefield with millions of units, how could one person change the outcome in a short period of time?
All Ishtar hopes is for the contractors to experience and witness this historic moment in person.
After clarifying his thoughts, Xu Fei stopped worrying and took the initiative to play the role of the prince.
Every morning and afternoon, he would lead five hundred gryphon cavalry and the Eagle Knights to sweep away heretics around the City of White Mist.
These two flying units were nominally commanded by Xu Fei, but were not given any authority.
Specific tactical arrangements and battlefield command are completed by the accompanying officers.
Because both the legion commander Bakuruos and the royal sister Juka Lelefe knew it very well.
The young seventeenth prince has lived in the palace all year round and is ignorant of worldly affairs.
In terms of marching and fighting, not only do they have no actual combat experience, they don't even have the knowledge reserves to talk about war on paper.
So even if Xu Fei was unhappy, they would not make fun of the lives of the sergeants.
What's more, letting the command go unchecked may put Xu Fei himself in danger.
However, in fact, the two of them were overly worried.
Xu Fei didn't have any dissatisfaction with this, but was very cooperative.
After all, he is not the real seventeenth prince.
In addition to self-reflection and self-discipline, adults must also have self-awareness.
Xu Fei had this kind of mentality that he had a profound understanding of the workplace before he came to the other world, not to mention fighting the demon wolf for countless years in the fire world.
Controlling griffins, understanding the characteristics of World of Warcraft, and practicing military formation coordination... Xu Fei only regarded himself as a new recruit who diligently absorbed knowledge and learned skills.
It’s not that he thinks he’s noble or doesn’t have a desire for power.
Ever since he came here, Xu Fei would often warn himself in his heart.
This is just a false world. Nothing here can bring you back to reality. The only purpose is to complete the trial. Beyond that, nothing, including emotions, makes sense.
Falling into it will only give the goddess Ishtar a reason to judge the trial as a failure.
Through taking the lead in battles one after another, the sergeants gradually changed their view of this lonely prince with a poor reputation.
It turns out that His Highness the Seventeenth Prince is a brave and diligent person, not as bad as the rumors say.
In the evening, the sunset dyed the sky red.
The mist of early autumn nourishes the wilting flowers and plants.
Every time at this time, Juka Lailefei would stop at the entrance of the military camp and wait for the return of his beloved little brother.
She is determined and straightforward, but is destined to be bad at taking care of others.
There are only two things Juka wants to do with Xu Fei, drink (to have a heart-to-heart talk with his younger brother) or compete in martial arts (to teach his younger brother to grow up).
At the beginning of the period, little was known about this cheap sister.
After more contact, Xu Fei passively summed up a lot of useless experience.
For example, you only need to see each other's appearance from a distance every day to know what they will do next.
Whenever Juka looked relaxed and smiling, he would come to drink and chat with him.
Whenever Juka crossed his arms and looked sharply in his eyes, he was ready to help him hone his martial arts skills.
Drinking didn't matter. Excessive drinking was a taboo in the military camp. Every time Juka drank until his cheeks turned red, he would leave on his own initiative.
As for honing his martial arts skills, Xu Fei's feeling was very subtle.
Juka Lelefe is known as the strongest female general in the August Empire today.
It is said that he made a contract with the Blazing Feather Dragon when he was young, and the protection of the Flame Dragon resides in his body.
Juka, who is only in his early 100s, has a level of cultivation similar to that of Xu Fei, who has spent countless years in the Fire World, and has extremely rich combat experience.
Xu Fei's best moves such as low-level magic sea saturation attack and high-speed weapon refining were almost completely ineffective. Before he even got close to the opponent, they were all detonated and burned by the flames.
Juka is even more powerful in close combat. Everything touched by the iron fist will be attacked by explosive flames. If Xu Fei's skin and flesh weren't thick and thick now, he would have turned into charcoal.
I really don’t know how the real seventeenth prince survived.
The moon in the east and the sun in the west change day and night.
The main force of the Chinese army and the logistics supply force of the Silver Wing Legion have not yet arrived.
There are rumors that they enjoyed the scenery along the way, stationed in villages and towns to help civilians with the autumn harvest, hunted forest monsters along the way, etc... In short, they took their time and implemented the policy of slow marching to the end.
Except for the August Empire, the joint forces of various countries also had their own agendas and were unable to reach the City of White Mist.
Xu Fei didn't quite understand such an awkward situation at first.
After talking with Juka, the reason was roughly understood.
I heard from the sergeants that doing this was used to demonstrate force and pave the way for subsequent competition for territorial resources.
But according to Juka, those are all actions openly used to paralyze small countries.
The game between major powers is often very complex.
This involves politics, territory, belief, energy, trade, military, technology, people's livelihood and many other fields.
Rather than eating fat in one go and becoming the target of public criticism, it is safer to eat away slowly.
Today, with the collapse of the Methra Empire, many of its original vassal states are wavering, leading to a sharp deterioration in the geopolitics in the southern part of the continent.
The Augustus Empire will try its best to avoid becoming the center of turmoil and proactively give benefits to surrounding small countries in the early stage.
Of course, the benefits are only temporary.
When the coalition forces of various countries drive out the heretics and the situation stabilizes, Augustus will create an opportunity to get back his capital and profits.
Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.
The rumble of chariots was heard on the northern horizon, which was a sign that a large army was approaching.
The fifth prince, Bestav, and the sixth prince, Ashamel, led 20,000 royal guards and a reorganized group of mages to the outskirts of the City of White Mist.
From this, Xu Fei met the last two brothers and sisters who appeared in this world.
