His Majesty the King personally presided over the award ceremony, which was solemn and short-lived. From the arrival of Anthony's army, less than an hour before and after, the army marched again, roaring southward like a chariot.

In addition to Anthony, there were other people in the army who were also honored by His Majesty, such as the 300 Aberdeen warriors who had followed Anthony and others to the north and south.

It's just that compared to the protagonist Anthony, these are definitely generous rewards in normal times, but they are not worth mentioning at this time, and they are not comparable at all.

According to Anthony's original intention, this simple but very shocking reward ceremony was not originally available.

When His Majesty King Beckenbauer received the good news from the province of Hanover, he was inexplicably excited and ecstatic.

His Majesty the King immediately made a decision to confer on this miraculous young man a great official position, so that he could give full play to his talents and potential.

At the same time, he also sent a message to Anthony, asking the young man to lead the southbound troops to reroute to the imperial capital. He was to hold a grand ceremony in the imperial capital for Antony and the army that went south, and to give him a great reward for his achievements in the counterinsurgency of Taranto.

However, given the urgency of the war and the fact that the diversion would take nearly a day longer, Anthony declined His Majesty's offer.

King Beckenbauer was as good as he could, and did not stick to his opinion. It's just that he didn't give up his original plan, but thought of a compromise solution.

Thus, there was this simple but grand reward meeting.

His Majesty the King personally came to the wilderness more than 100 miles outside the imperial capital to wait quietly, just so as not to delay the journey of the army.

At this moment, even Anthony has nothing to say.

Although the conference was still delayed for nearly an hour, the award ceremony presided over by His Majesty the King himself could greatly enhance the cohesion and morale of the army, and in the end the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

Besides, Anthony didn't expect that His Majesty would make him such a big official, and even directly put most of the royal corps under his command. Although he had already guessed, the Royal Legion was definitely going to go to war.

As a result, this mighty army marching towards the province of Taranto swelled from 16,300 men to 24,300 at once.

Such a powerful army, in terms of numbers alone, has more than doubled the counterinsurgency army in Aberdeen. In terms of the degree of elite, with the addition of the 8000 Royal Corps, it is also only strong and not weak.

After a lapse of more than two months, the Imperial counterinsurgency army made a comeback and swept through Taranto with even more ferocity.

This time, Taranto no longer has the odd effect of Frankie's hole card. Anthony and the other party have also been entangled "day and night" for nearly half a year, and have a good understanding of General Riga's command style. Instead, Frankie was almost ignorant of Anthony's stylistic methods, as the two had only had a direct confrontation at the end of the battle.

It can be said that at the level of the commander, the imperial ** team is not lagging behind at all.

Although the newly promoted general repeatedly warned everyone not to be proud and underestimate the enemy, both the generals and the soldiers were full of confidence in this battle.

Once the number of this army is tens of thousands, it is already boundless, and there is no edge in sight. And more than 20,000 people marched together, and it was not as simple as pulling out their legs and leaving.

In the end, Anthony's command was extraordinary, and everything was handled in an orderly manner, so that His Majesty the King and all the ministers secretly nodded in praise, and their hearts increased a little confidence out of thin air.

But the road is so wide, no matter how capable Anthony is, it is impossible to pack more than 20,000 people together and take them on the road.

Anthony issued one order after another, directing the troops to move out one after another.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked back.

I saw that on a high ground in the distance, several women in white with scarves on their faces stood pretty, their eyes looking at Anthony.

Although they were far away from each other, and the other party was covered with a scarf, Anthony couldn't see their eye expressions clearly. But with the cultivator's keen sensibility, he was very sure that the other party was watching him.

This time the reward ceremony was unprecedented, but apart from the military, ministers, and nobles of the imperial capital, there were not too many ordinary people who came to watch the ceremony. After all, this place is too remote and the transportation is not convenient. In order to see the excitement, they came from afar, and there are not many ordinary people who have this leisure and this heart.

Looking at the costumes of several women, they don't look like ordinary people, nor do they look like imperial nobles or family members. The cold, dusty, ethereal figure is a bit like those hidden cultivators in the other world who are far away from the world and practice alone.

"General, what are you looking at?"

Marquis Marco asked in surprise.

His attitude towards Anthony is now more and more intimate.

Father's eyes are still so vicious, and he can see at a glance that this young man is a thick thigh with unlimited potential, and he has already placed a heavy bet on him. This guy has a limitless future, and sooner or later he will soar to the sky. I have to have a good relationship with him, and I can't let my father's hard work go to waste.

Well, the thighs are thick enough now.

"These women, what's wrong?" Following Anthony's gaze, Marquis Marco also saw the women in white.

Lin Zhifeng, who was on the side, glanced at it and exclaimed in a low voice: "Ah! ”

Anthony turned to look at him, "You know them?" ”

Lin Zhifeng nodded, and shook his head again: "I don't know." ”

Marquis Marco said dissatisfiedly: "Nodding and shaking his head, do you know or don't know?" ”

"I don't know them, but I know who they are."

Lin Zhifeng also came to his senses, his actions contradicted himself, and quickly explained.

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be followers of the goddess of fate!"

Anthony and Marquis Marco were stunned: "Goddess of Fate? ”

"Yes!" Lin Zhifeng said with certainty, "It is said that the goddess of fate is a god race in ancient times, much older than all the gods now. But her sect in the world is very low-key, rarely in contact with the outside world, and does not actively develop believers, so not many people know about it. ”

Marquis Marco was surprised: "Then how do you know?" ”

Lin Zhifeng smiled bitterly: "I came from a humble background, and I am not willing to be bland, so I look for opportunities to get ahead everywhere in mainland countries. The more places I've visited, the more things I've seen and heard. These things are not secretive, I heard people talk about them by chance. ”

Marco Marco's face flushed slightly.

He was born from a humble background, and he had always been nested in the north of the empire, rarely going out of the province of Hanover, and he was not as knowledgeable as a small commoner wandering around.

"And what are they doing here?" Anthony asked, puzzled.

Since the believers of this goddess of fate like to keep a low profile, it is impossible for them to come over to see the excitement. This place doesn't for birds, and it's less populated, but it doesn't seem to be very suitable for such a sect to choose as a place to build a sect.

In Anthony's mind, the inaccessible mountains are the best choice for these hermitage sects.

Lin Zhifeng hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "I heard that the disciples of the goddess of fate generally live in seclusion, and rarely walk in the world. Unless there are some earth-shattering and far-reaching changes on the mainland, they will appear in front of the world. ”

"According to you, and they are followers of the goddess of fate, the word fate ......," Anthony mused, "does it mean that they have the ability to predict the future?" ”

"Exactly!" Lin Zhifeng confirmed his guess.

"They left the hidden place and re-entered the world in order to observe the great changes in the world and cultivate themselves through observation. And the people they pay attention to are often the key people in the great changes. They call these people the children of destiny. ”

Marquis Marco laughed when he heard this: "Then they are now paying attention to the general, does it mean that the general is the so-called 'child of destiny'?" Goddess of Fate, Child of Destiny. Suddenly, it sounded like the general was the goddess of fate, ......"

He "did" a few times, and there was no follow-up, but everyone could hear what he meant unfinished. It's just that these words not only offended Anthony, but also disrespected the goddess of fate that he heard for the first time, and Marquis Marc didn't dare to continue.

You must know that fanatical believers are the most terrible, they will not reason with you, they will not listen to your explanations and apologize, and anyone who dares to blaspheme the gods they believe in can only pay the price of their lives in order to wash away their sins.

Although the Marquis was not afraid of this sect that he had never heard of, there was no need to get into trouble for the sake of a momentary tongue.

Anthony listened quietly, as if he were just listening to a boring piece of gossip. But in his mind, the turbulent waves had already stirred, and he was no longer calm.

There are gods in this world, and the miracles that appear from time to time in various parts of the continent, as well as the oracles that churches of all sizes often receive, all show that the gods not only exist, but also pay close attention to the human world.

Anthony knows his own affairs, and after getting the mysterious oriental mythology system of another world, as long as he doesn't fall halfway, his future will definitely not be to die at home sleeping **.

It can be said that he will definitely be able to become a key factor in the upcoming great changes in the Oss continent, just like the legend relayed by Lin Zhifeng. Even the variable of oneself is not limited to the continent of Os, but also to the human world.

For the gods in the high, he is the one who comes to share the cake, in vain trying to cut a piece of the gods' territory.

Therefore, Anthony's hostile relationship with the local gods is probably already preordained.

To this day, Anthony still clearly remembers that when he first went to the outskirts of the imperial capital, it seemed that the power of heaven and earth was impossible for Pei Pei to scan.

Thinking of this, Anthony's heart suddenly moved.

Could it be that this goddess of fate is the same god who launched the Divine Mind Scan on herself in the first place?
