'Brother Rick, I'm going with you too!' Ao Ling'er was most dissatisfied with Rick's arrangement, and said in a sullen voice, "If you don't agree, I'll secretly follow." ’

Rick had already figured out how to deal with this troublemaker, pointing to the wild UA and Shiso leaves who came to send him, and said very directly.."You can't follow me, you know?" You are in charge of training those little girls in the mansion, look at them, they just got their phantom beasts, they can't do anything, you leave, what will they do? So you must not leave, you know? Inlo UO needs your care. So Ao Ling'er compromised.

'All right, why bother sending it around?' It's not necessary at all, anyway, I'm just going out for a vacation, you guys stay at home and take care of yourself. When Rick said this, his eyes looked at Alva, who had not spoken, and Caifeng, who was full of displeasure, and saw that Alva nodded slightly, before continuing: "I will often let the blood phoenix bring back the news, don't worry." ’

'Brother Rick, remember to come back and bring us a present!' There is cunning hidden in the innocent words of the little girl. At the same time, she took advantage of Rick's surprise and used her Sakura lips to make a loud impression on Rick's face.

This time it was terrible, and the others immediately followed suit, and finally even Long Lan and Su Qiong kissed Rick's face, which made Wei Mang, who was standing on the side, who was most active in wanting to leave Bo Yingte, admire him to the ground, and then vowed to follow this Count Xia Hua-Permont, who was young but had enjoyed all the good fortunes, until he also soaked in the same number of women. So Marshal Wei Mang, known as one of the two shows of the Empire, followed Rick's side in this way, but it was not until Wei Mang, who was the chief of imperial military affairs and the marshal of the cavalry, passed away. Nor did such a goal be achieved. After all, such a goal is for ordinary people. It's a little too difficult. Despite this, Marshal Wei Mang was still called "Marshal Merry" by many subordinates and colleagues, and legend has it that wherever Marshal Wei Mang went, there was his secret lover.

Among the people who saw him off, in addition to Stella, who was supposed to stay in the imperial city, there was also a very special person, that is, Tang Zhaoxian, the commander of the queen's guard, who did not explain whether he was representing the queen or just representing himself. No matter what reason Tang Zhaoxian came to see her off, Rick was very happy to see her, and when she kissed her back, he insisted on it for half a quarter of an hour until Tang Zhaoxian was out of breath, and this process was also when Marshal Wei Mang secretly made up his mind.

Anyway, after a whole morning, Rick and his party finally left Boyent. embarked on a journey to the Divine Fortress, which was later called "a small step for the emperor." A Big Leap in History", there were a total of 309 participants, including the two daughters who were named Mei Concubine and Jade Concubine when they were concubines, as well as the later Imperial Military Chief and the Commander of the Guards Regiment and the Air Combat Corps. Ten years later, the proportion of the 300 soldiers who accompanied them became officers was as high as 83 percent, and the proportion of senior officers was as high as 29 percent.

According to the analysis of some historians who do not like to pursue stereographic evidence, but only like to find reasons from imagination, the reason why these sergeants with ordinary qualifications or even mediocre qualifications were able to grow into officers and senior officers was because they were bathed in the light of imperial wisdom during the march of Luo UB, so there was a reborn change, although at this time, Rick was only too bored in the Luo UX process, so after each camp, he gathered everyone to discuss some issues to kill time.

'It's so boring, we have to ride for so long every day, why can't we find something fun to do?' After enduring three days of boring travel, Rick finally sat by the campfire one evening and roared loudly..'Wei Mang, call the squad leaders below you together, I want to hear a few jokes, it's too boring." ’

Because more than 300 people can ride horses, and the weight itself is not too much, so this tour group that is not easy to specifically position in addition to dozens of horses responsible for transporting marching equipment, there is no such thing as a carriage, the consequences of being light and simple, directly guide Rick to get up three poles a day, grab the most comfortable afternoon of the day when the winter has not completely passed, ride a horse and walk quickly for one or two hundred kilometers, and then set up camp before the sun sets, which is indeed not much different from tourism. Fortunately, as a direct consequence of this, all three hundred soldiers were very sympathetic to the young earl, after all, the real march was only a hundred times more painful.

'Sit down!' Rick said very kindly..' Wei Mang, I transferred you out and followed me to the Divine Seal Fortress without consulting you this time, you won't be angry, right?" ’

The earl said seriously, I, Wei Mang, am just an idler in the military department, it is Wei Mang's luck to be able to work with the earl, and the earl is sympathetic to his subordinates, and every day he lets his subordinates rest fully before going on the road, and camps early so that the sergeants will not be particularly tired, I Wei Mang has never seen the commander in the army for ten years, and there is no way to talk about being angry, and the subordinates are also very grateful to the earl for taking me away from the boring place of the military department. Wei Mang has a bold personality, although he has accumulated merit to a thousand cavalry commanders, but he has always shared weal and woe with the soldiers below, which is also one of the main reasons why he was able to gather three hundred soldiers who were willing to miss the Heavenly God Festival in just half a day, but after all, he had been soaking in a big dye vat like the Ministry of War for two years, and now Wei Mang did not express himself too casually, but patted Rick several times politely and without a trace.

For such a sycophant, of course, Rick took it all and said triumphantly..'That's good, that's good, anyway, this time I went to the Shenfeng Fortress, and His Majesty didn't stipulate a specific time, as long as we followed the normal marching progress, His Majesty would definitely not blame us, and besides, there was no need to make everyone so tired, in case of accidents along the way, tired soldiers would have no combat effectiveness. ’

Wei Mang smiled all over his face, first glanced at the three girls sitting by the campfire, then at the four guards standing behind Rick, and said cautiously. I don't know if the Count has called us over now. I want to ......'

'I want you to come and talk. You've also seen it these days, I can't do anything except rush and sleep every day, and it just so happens that I don't know much about the situation of the Shenfeng Fortress, and it's not good to report over there, and I can't even tell the most basic situation of the fortress, so not only do I have no face, but the queen who let me come over will also have no face. It's a big problem, you know? Rick pressed down on his big hat and said with a grin, "You've been in the military department for a year or two, and I've heard that you have served and fought in the Divine Seal Fortress, so I want you to introduce me." ’

'Yes, yes......' Wei Mang finally understood why this marquis, who had only one side with him, would transfer himself to his side, nodded carefully, turned his head to look at the few team leaders who were following him, and said..'Then they ......'

They sat down and listened, and it was a good ride. Nothing will be a problem! Rick said casually, "Do they have anyone who has been in the Divine Fortress too?" If not, listen to it as a story. If you have one, you can add to it, so sit down. ’

Wei Mang sat down carefully, and the sergeant behind him sat down very uncomfortably when he saw him sit down, some of them had strange postures, and some of them kept moving their bodies, because according to a common rule among the nobles of the Blue Moon Empire, nobles and commoners could not sit on an equal footing, and the young imperial earl in front of him actually let them sit around the bonfire like him, of course, it was normal for them to be unaccustomed to it.

After getting used to it, Wei Mang asked cautiously, "I wonder what Lord Earl wants to know?" ’

Rick scratched his head and said very unhappily, "Wei Mang, don't be so polite, just be casual, and don't call me an earl, just call me Xia Hua, I should be much smaller than you." ’

'That'...... What does Prince Xia Hua want to know about the Divine Seal Fortress? ’

It took Wei Mang half a minute to call out this compromise title, and of course Rick didn't want to give any more opinions, so Rick had to simply say, "As long as it's related to the Divine Seal Fortress, it's okay, such as the current garrison situation, the number of people, the location of the fortress, etc., I've never been there, I'm afraid I'll make a joke over there." ’

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Mang said eloquently..'Shenfeng Fortress is one of the four major fortresses in the mainland, also known as the youngest fortress, and the original name Shenfeng means that even if it is a god, in the face of the blockage of the fortress, he will feel helpless, and even the god has to be sealed on the periphery of the fortress, so it is called the Shenfeng Fortress. ’

'Shenfeng Fortress is located in the north of Jiamu County of the Blue Moon Empire, it is the only way to the Karinkel Empire and the four northern kingdoms, it is located on a narrow artery between the two mountain ranges, both sides are high mountains, although people can also pass from the mountains Guò, but for the army in time of war, choosing to climb over the ridge is almost the stupidest decision that the most stupid commander will make, so since the establishment of the Shenfeng Fortress a hundred years ago, Jiamu County has almost never been subjected to large-scale harassment from the north, For almost all the people of Jiamuqun, the Divine Fortress is the guardian deity that protects their lives and property. Therefore, there is another explanation for the fortress, which means that the fortress is actually an artifact given by God to the people to defend against the enemies in the north. ’

'Due to the fact that in recent decades, there have been fewer and fewer enemies invading the Shenfeng Fortress on a large scale, and most of the time, the garrison in the Shenfeng Fortress is only 50% of what it was when it was full, but even so, there are still 24,000 full-time garrisons in the Shenfeng Fortress, including one garrison commander, one chief of staff, two staff members, two deputy commanders, three soldiers, two 10,000 cavalry commanders, 15 thousand cavalry commanders, and a number of 100 cavalry commanders and lower commanders. Basically, with this kind of strength, relying on the sturdiness of the fortress and the power of the magic cannon, the Divine Seal Fortress can defend itself against enemies ten times its own size for more than three months with its own ability, and because there are only narrow corridors in front of the fortress to fight, even if the enemy exceeds a million, only less than one-tenth can directly participate in the siege of the fortress. Fifty years ago, there was a classic case where nearly a million enemies were dragged for five months by the garrison of less than 50,000 in the Shenfeng Fortress, and finally they had no choice but to withdraw from the army.
