It is actually an embarrassing thing to be regarded as the boss without real power.

Ever since Edward's identity was revealed, he has become the great "leader" of General Walker. Such an airborne leader basically has no sense of existence for the soldiers below.

According to General Walker, Edward is the future king of the country and currently oversees the entire Walker's defense. In Walker's defense area, there are not only military matters, but also people's livelihood. It's just that now is a temporary war period, and maybe military matters occupy a greater weight in the whole region, so Walker's importance will inevitably be more prominent. And Edward, as the person who leads the overall situation, will inevitably be particularly tired if he has to do everything himself. Simply entrust military matters to Walker, and report to Edward if there is a major matter that Walker cannot solve.

To the soldiers below, Walker emphasized the importance of reporting down to the next level. The soldiers are required to report problems level by level, but in case of special circumstances, they can directly report to themselves.

Of course, there's no way the Walkers can give Edward a blank check. Edward's godfather, the great Holy Cross, is now in charge of the operation of the Celestial Cult in the Warker Zone. Edward himself needs to be present as a commander when he is relieving the victims and distributing supplies, giving the people a sense of security, and in the process establishing his own image and laying the foundation for his future kingship.

Walker made it very clear that he was loyal to Edward, he was just the one who helped Edward fight the world, and if he really wanted to sit in the world in the future, he still had to sit on Edward himself.

A good subordinate like Walker, who is both loyal and reassuring, is hard to find with a lantern.

And the feeling in Edward's heart is actually very subtle. At first, I started doing things with Walker, and I felt that I was actually useless, and no matter what big things I did, I basically followed Walker's intentions. Later, Edward slowly figured it out in his heart, and felt that Walker was actually very good to himself, although he didn't give himself any real power, but he did respect himself very much.

"My lord, according to the latest information, the army of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom is exactly the same route as we expected to march before, and now it has captured three of our cities. "General Walker briefed Edward on the latest military movements.

"Then we need to hurry up and prepare for battle, if the enemy advances so quickly, our initial preparations may not be sufficient. Edward replied casually, recalling the scene when Walker was arguing with him.

("General Walker, I feel like the army exists to protect the homeland.") Although the enemy is menacing, our army cannot retreat without a fight. We should carry forward the spirit of coexisting with the homeland, and we should never back down, even if it is a tough encounter. We quit like this, and we destroy everything ourselves, what can we explain to the people below?")

Up to now, Edward still can't fully understand Walker's combat ideas.

("My lord, the matter of war must never be ruined by the courage of the moment. Especially now, we may face a flank attack from four directions at any time, and if we are not careful and are bitten by one direction, we may have a full-scale crisis. So we can't get tangled up in a fight with the enemy in all directions. As for what you said about destroying people's lives, it is indeed unavoidable. However, from the very beginning, our defense zone has been ready to deal with foreign attacks at any time, so the people can quickly achieve military control, build after the war, and build while fighting, and our people have this consciousness and can do this. ”）

"Report to the lord!" Ah Fu's voice suddenly came in from outside, interrupting Walker's conversation with Edward.

"Come in. Edward glanced at Walker, and seeing that he didn't mean to stop him, he asked Ah Fu to come in and report.

"Report to my lord, Prince Tiger has placed the army a hundred miles away from our army in accordance with our previous agreement. He asked me to bring a message to ask if the lord was going to see him or if he was coming to see the lord. ”

Edward listened to Ah Fu's report and looked at Walker.

"Prince Tiger is a guest from afar, and it stands to reason that we should greet him in person. But after all, our lord is the future king designated by our ancestors, and it is not suitable to go to his military camp after all. Go and tell Prince Tiger that we will meet at a distance of about fifty miles between the two armies, each of us with our own men with our accompanying men. General Walker said calmly.

"Yes!" Ah Fu listened to the order, turned and prepared to leave.

"Ah Fu, don't be in a hurry to leave. Edward suddenly called out to Ah Fu.

Ah Fu turned back to look at Edward with some confusion.

"How's your communication with the one in your body, well, elf?" Edward asked, smiling and concerned.

"Following the instructions of the old-timers of the Holy Cross, I have already made contact with the seniors who live in my body. Ah Fu said very respectfully, and it could be seen that he respected the gods living in his body very much.

"Then do you know who that senior master is?" Edward saw Ah Fu's reaction like that, and guessed that the "senior" must be extraordinary,

"The old-timers told me that he was just an obscure little person. And he himself said that he was not a genius, but he had been pursuing the realm of supreme strength all his life. So at the last moment, because of lack of qualifications, I didn't succeed in the breakthrough, so I had to stay in my body. He said that now it is just a lingering breath, and the name is insignificant. After Ah Fu finished speaking, seeing that Edward didn't seem to intend to continue asking, he gave a military salute and walked out of the military tent.

"General, what do you think of Ah Fu's matter?" Edward saw that Ah Fu had gone far away, and asked Walker Dao.

"Ah Fu has indeed gained a lot of trust from the elves in his body. But I don't think the elf fully trusts him yet. General Walker, after a moment's thought, uttered his calculations.

Judging from what Ah Fu said, that senior master has reached the realm of breaking through life and death. I am afraid that the people who can reach this realm can be counted with their fingers. Edward reckoned that Walker should have said the process of his analysis as he thought.

"Not necessarily. Most of the masters have diluted the fame and fortune in the world, and like the ancestors, the dragon sees the head but does not see the end. If they like someone, click on that person, and it is estimated that that person will also break through life and death. The world is so big that there are many people and things that are beyond our understanding. ”

Hearing Walker's mention of his ancestors, Edward suddenly remembered the magic inherited from his family. The reason why the Peacock Kingdom is called the Peacock Kingdom is because men with the orthodox blood of the royal family will naturally learn a powerful magic. The magic was wrapped around the royal man's body, which looked like a large peacock from the outside. If it's just good-looking, this kind of magic is not a big deal. What's really terrifying is that once the adult men of the royal family completely inherit this magic, their combat power will be close to that of the powerful dragon knights.

But he is also a descendant of the royal family, why can't he, a man with pure blood, inherit this kind of magic from the family? This is something that Edward has always been puzzled about, and it is also a pain in Edward's heart. Ever since he was a child, other members of the royal family have been laughing at him because he couldn't perform the great peacock magic. Some even ridiculed Charlie, believing that Edward was not Charlie's biological son. Fortunately, he does look more similar to Charlie, and Charlie firmly believes that Edward cannot be someone else's son, otherwise the situation is really difficult to clean up.

Thinking of this, Edward suddenly said to General Walker: "General, after listening to you, I still have something to understand. Peacock magic, which is inherited from our family, originally originated from our ancestors. But why can the two of our ancestors and his wife achieve a breakthrough in life and death, but none of these descendants of our family can reach that state? Could it be that the ancestors do not even look down on the people of our family and refuse to guide us to break through life and death?"

General Walker shook his head when he heard Edward's question, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that only the Ancestor himself knows about this. Or maybe it takes some kind of incredible qualification to break through life and death. Didn't the strong man in Ah Fu's body say that he failed because he was not qualified enough. ”

Listening to General Walker's answer, Edward nodded.

"Speaking of which, my uncle may not be very easy to serve. Although he didn't completely inherit the peacock magic, he was better than me, a junior who didn't inherit the peacock magic at all. Speaking of which, you probably know that within the royal family, you have a say in how much power you have as much peacock magic as you have. Each king of the royal family was the strongest in peacock magic of his time. The old king of the previous year was, and now so is my father. ”

"The lord may be too worried. We didn't expect your uncle, Prince Tiger, to listen to us. We're all just working together temporarily, and maybe one day we'll see each other. As for the royal power, to put it bluntly, the power of the royal family comes from the ancestors, and you have to trust the judgment of the ancestors. Since the ancestors are so optimistic about you and choose you as their future successor, it means that you must have potential that other royal family members do not have. ”

"If only that were the case. Edward listened to Walker's explanation and smiled bitterly.

"Report!" Edward's voice suddenly rang out from Simon, the captain of the guard.

"Come in and report!" Edward said.

Hearing the order, Simon held a big axe in his hand, and came in majestically and gave a military salute: "The soldiers below say that Prince Bill has sent a messenger over." ”
