The departure ceremony of the 160,000-strong army of the eight legions was presided over by the Emperor Charlemagne himself, and Charlemagne, who stood alone on the platform of the northern army camp, handed over the Imperial Marshal's scepter, which symbolized the commander of the army, to the Duke of Gna.

When Duke Gna raised the golden scepter in his hand, all the soldiers of the entire Northern Army battalion raised their weapons high, shouting the slogans of 'Long live the Empire' and 'Heavenly Dragon will win'.

After the Emperor announced the appointment of the Duke of Gna, it was the customary turn of the Minister of War, Duke Cullen, to read the edict of the expedition.

The soldiers, who were still full of morale and cheering, gradually stopped cheering after Charlemagne left the platform, and when Duke Cullen stepped up to the platform, the soldiers who had no good impression of the military department had no intention of giving him face.

Looking at the silent soldiers in the audience, even if Duke Cullen's face was thick enough, he was so embarrassed that his old face turned red;

Bai Feng, who had no intention of listening to Duke Kulun read out the edict of the expedition, was thinking about his own affairs, but Cabur on the side quietly approached Bai Feng's side and asked softly to Bai Feng, "Brother Bai, what do you think of Duke Kulun?"

"Duke Cullen?" Bai Feng, who hadn't reacted yet, hesitated slightly, and then said cautiously: "Duke Cullen is the Minister of War of the Imperial Military Department, and he is also the most trusted representative of the Imperial Military of His Majesty the Emperor, so it should be okay." ”

"Imperial military representative?" Cabul, who had a disdainful look on his face, sneered directly: "He is indeed the Minister of Military Affairs of the Imperial Military Department, and he is also the most trusted minister of His Majesty the Emperor, but he is definitely not a representative of our military!"

"Isn't it the representative of our military?" Bai Feng, who was not very familiar with the imperial military circles, felt that today was a good opportunity, so he took the opportunity to ask Kabul: "As the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire, doesn't Duke Kulen represent the interests of our military?"

"Since the birth of our Celestial Dragon Empire, there has never been an Imperial War Minister like him!" Kabul said angrily, "A person who has not been on the battlefield for a day, why should he be the Minister of War of our military, and why should he represent our military?"

"Brother Kabul, perhaps because the empire does not have a more suitable candidate for the Minister of War, His Majesty the Emperor appointed Duke Cullen as the Minister of War; after all, it is a major military matter of the Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor must have his considerations. ”

"Hmph, it's just that he relied on his daughter to give birth to the eldest son for His Majesty! Otherwise, which of the Duke of Gna, Duke Karl, and Duke Kleist would not be qualified to be the Minister of War? Even the Earl of Rundstead is stronger than this guy Cullen!"

"Count Rundstead?" Suddenly hearing Cabul mention Count Rundstead, Bai Feng asked curiously: "Brother Kabul, is the Count of Rundstede you are talking about the iron-blooded Count Rundsted?"

"Of course!" Kabourg, who couldn't help but show admiration on his face, said with respect: "Although Count Rundstead is a general from an ordinary civilian background, his military exploits are all fought on the battlefield, and such a general is a general worthy of respect." ”

"Then again, Brother Bai, you are blessed this time! On your first expedition, you met three generals, Duke Gna, Duke Kleist, and Count Rundstead, who joined forces to command the battle, and these are all the most prestigious generals in our empire!"

"Haha, my luck has always been good......" Before Bai Feng finished speaking, the soldiers suddenly burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers;

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers in the barracks, and the fanaticism in the eyes of Kabul beside him, Bai Feng had to admit that Duke Gna's status in the hearts of the imperial soldiers was indeed extraordinary, at least much stronger than Duke Cullen, the Minister of War.

However, this is precisely the main reason why Duke Gna could not become the Minister of War, and the high prestige in the army, coupled with the special status of the Gna family in the empire, it is impossible for any emperor to give such a person a chance to rise to the next level.

It can be seen from this that Kabul, who claims to be the commander of the military division under Giscar, is still a pure soldier after all, and his resourcefulness is only slightly stronger than that of other simple-minded wing commanders, and he still does not understand the politics above the military.

The Duke of Gna's inspiring speech lasted less than five minutes, and then with the Duke of Gna's order, the officers and men who were ready immediately began to march in regimental units, and the first army to leave the barracks was the first wing of the 33rd Legion.

The 33rd Legion, commanded by Andrew, the wolf of the North, is the strongest in combat power among the eight new legion commanders, who makes Andrew the most proficient imperial general in infantry combat, and he is the confidant of Duke Gna and Duke Kleist?

Now Sunset Fortress is in dire need of an infantry general who is proficient in defensive operations, and Andrew is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, plus Andrew is a former general of Duke Gna, who is the commander of the Imperial Army in Sunset Fortress, it is only natural that his army should be taken care of.

The 33rd Army was followed by the 34th Army Corps, and the 40th Army Corps, where Bai Feng belonged, was the last to leave the barracks; after the six wings in the front left the camp one after another, Bai Feng, who was riding on a war horse, also slowly walked out of the barracks with his seventh wing.

Behind the Seventh Wing, there were the Eighth Wing of Zuniga and the Ninth Wing of Rodeville, as well as Evans's Tenth Wing, and the mighty army slowly advanced towards the Sunset Fortress in the east, farther and farther away from the imperial capital behind them.

A huge army of 160,000 soldiers, walking on the Imperial gallop for dozens of miles without stopping, and the Seventh Wing, with friendly troops in front and behind, could neither speed up nor reduce the speed of the march, but could only maintain the existing constant marching speed.

The slow marching speed was normal for the ordinary soldiers of the Seventh Wing, but it was tantamount to a turtle crawling for the four Roman young soldiers, and this way of marching conflicted with Bai Feng's original plan to train the soldiers along the way.

In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command, Bai Feng had to find his corps commander Giscard for this matter, hoping that Giskar could allow his seventh wing to be transferred to the rear of the tenth wing to march freely.

In the face of Bai Feng's request, Giscar, who was already guilty of Bai Feng, naturally would not refuse, but for this kind of matter involving the transfer of unit-level combat units, Giscard must consult the commander of the army, Duke Gna, which is also a military law in the army.

Duke Gna, who was respected by the soldiers, had never been a rigid commander, especially towards a young general with unlimited potential like Bai Feng, his attitude was based on training, so he agreed to Bai Feng's request and allowed the Seventh Wing to march freely.

However, the free march allowed by the Duke of Gna was a limited free march, and during the march, Bai Feng's 7th Wing could not travel more than fifty miles from the main force of the army, and had to join the main army at most once every three days.
