vs 9 Parting
In the imperial capital of Suke, while the fortress of Anku was preparing for the upcoming war, Pedi received an appointment from the military department, appointing him as the deputy commander of the command of the fortress of Coron, and strictly ordering him to rush to the fortress of Coron by May 15.
Thousands of miles away, leaving only ten days for Pedi. The military department wanted him to leave immediately, and he had to hurry non-stop.
Although the preparation time was rushed, he didn't have to worry about these things at all, and he didn't even let Wren do these things, he told Wren: "Spend all the money you have saved over the years in one day." ”
Wren nodded and left, and on this day, Pedi never saw him again.
Good times often pass very quickly, especially when you want it to go a little slower.
The day after Peidi received the order from the military headquarters, that is, on May 5, the weather in the imperial capital was very good, the sky was clear, but it was a little hot.
Everything was ready, and the servant woke up Pedi, who had fallen asleep late at night, at the behest of Duke Nick.
Today, he is going to leave the imperial capital, the place where he has lived for thirteen years.
This was Pedi's first trip to this world.
Moreover, he went to participate in a war with an unknown outcome.
It's certainly a lie to say not to be nervous, but not to the point of being scared.
Even, there is still a little expectation in Peidi's heart, because, he grew up under the brainwashing education of the aristocracy since he was a child, and like everyone else, he is eager to make achievements on the battlefield and be praised by future generations.
He had never seen a war and did not know what a real war was like...
He could only imagine...
In the eyes of most young people from aristocratic families like Pedi, war was more of a shortcut to honor.
However, in a civilian family, it is a helpless choice... Of course, there are also civilians with dreams, who are eager to make a windfall in a war, or to be promoted through the ranks of military exploits, so as to step up from the civilian class.
As the son of the Prime Minister of the Empire and a direct member of the Reagan family in Crewe, Pedi has a prominent status, and in this world of blood, his position as the deputy commander of the command of the Fortress of Coron is more than enough.
However, he didn't understand anything after all, although the instructors taught him how to command soldiers and how to fight during the six-year knight course, but the actual operation was another matter.
So, Duke Nick personally selected a staff officer for Pedi, who was previously a tactical staff officer in the First Legion of the Empire, named Hades, a serious middle-aged man.
His file tells Pedi that the middle-aged man had fought in the Thirteen Years' War for the Throne, and that as a young man he had fought the barbarians in the Fortress of Coron for more than five years as a Dispatch of the First Legion.
This is the reason why Duke Nick chose him to be Pedy's counselor, and the Duke told Pedi that Hades could be trusted...
Pedi naturally knew what his father meant by trust, and he kept it in his heart.
...
It was his two sisters who saw off Pedi, and it was impossible for Duke Nick to see him off in person, although he himself would have loved to come.
Mornings in the imperial capital were always busy, and the city gates were at the peak of the time to enter and exit the city, especially at the outer gates, and Pedi's two sisters had been walking with Pedi to the outer city, which made the guards arranged by Duke Nick for his two daughters to guard the perimeter like a great enemy, and no one would be allowed to approach.
This made the queues in and out of the city blocked for a while, and although the city defense soldiers near the city gate did not dare to urge due to the identity of Pei Di and the others, the dissatisfaction on their faces was quite obvious.
Pei Di looked at his two younger sisters with reluctant eyes, and he was also reluctant in his own heart.
But it's always about parting.
"Hey!" said Peddy, who knew that he might see his two sisters again in a decade or even twenty years.
At that time, will this innocent brother-sister relationship still exist?
Penny may have been the princess or even the queen of the empire at that time, at that time, she would have children of her own, and all her energy would be focused on her children, and the brother of Pedi was at most a corner of her vague memory.
Phyllis, with her introverted and autistic personality, may have become a great magician at that time, but can she remember that there is such an older brother as Pedi?
"Your Excellency, it's time to go, you only have ten days to go. ”
Hades was urging on the side, but also urging himself, because his relatives were also in the procession to see him off, this veteran had experienced such a scene many times, and this familiar scene did not make him accustomed to it, but made him more uncomfortable, so he chose to escape to avoid the reluctance of parting.
"Okay!" Pedi whispered in response to Hades, who habitually reached out and rubbed Phyllis's hair again, "Come on, you're going to be a great magician." Then he looked at Penny, "Talk to Phyllis more, she needs to communicate more." ”
"I will. Penny nodded, taking her sister's hand and looking at her brother who was about to leave.
"When I become a magician, I will definitely apply to go to the Koren Fortress to help you, Brother Pedi. Phyllis suddenly said loudly.
Pedi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes? I'm looking forward to that day." ”
"Your Excellency?" Hades continued.
Pedi turned his head, and Hades had already led Pedy's mount to the side...
Pedi looked at him, at the men behind him—Captain Wren, Trainee Edin, and Cowrell, the magician who had just followed him.
Whether it is the young Eden or the old and sophisticated Kelly, both eyes reveal confusion about the future!
Eden, in particular, was visibly a little frightened, looking uneasily at the endless road outside the city gates. Pedi had already seen his mother, a woman named Martha, in the crowd, but she had no intention of coming over to talk to her son.
"Hey!" Pedi sighed at the case, looking at his two sisters, "I should go—" his tone was a little low, he wanted to say something else, but as soon as those four words came out, he felt like he couldn't say anything else.
"Whew!"
He let out a long breath and flipped on his horse as fast as he could.
"Let's go!" Pedi on horseback shouted with his back to Penny and Phyllis.
"Drive!" Immediately, Pedi grabbed the horse's belly, and the man had already run out. Seeing this, Hades and the others hurriedly turned over and got on their horses and followed Pedi.
In the dust, there was a whisper of a nearby passer-by, and Pedi never looked back.
By the time Phyllis reacted, his brother had already disappeared at the end of the road, and she wanted to go up to chase after her, but she found that her arm was grabbed by someone, and she turned her head to look, but it was Penny who slowly shook her head at her...
