The weather was sunny and sunny, and on the spacious official road, a long queue came from afar.

In front, there were more than a dozen people, all on horseback, most of them were dressed as Bauhinia Empire soldiers, fully armed and full of spirit, and among them, a young man dressed in a horse and wearing a magic robe was clustered.

Behind them were forty wagons, and on each of them were three large wooden boxes with sturdy bins, the lids very tightly sealed, and it was not known what was pulled inside, and one after the other, under the control of the whip of the coachman, who drove them, and they marched slowly forward in a neat line.

Half a month ago, he had officially become the patriarch of the McNus family, inheriting his father's title of earl, and then under the official appointment of the military department, he became the deputy commander of the Northwest Army of the Bauhinia Empire......

Yes, that's right, deputy commander-in-chief, not the positive one, his current military rank, is a major general of the empire.

This is a starting point that countless people have been looking at.

At first, Duang was reluctant. Because he once said it in front of the Bauhinia Emperor Charles XVI, because he was unwilling to leave his mother.

However, Charles XVI told him that he needed to be pacified by the Northwest Army, and that he had to go there anyway.

Of course, Duang's reason was also approved by Charles XVI, and he told Duang that this time, as long as he could calm down the emotions of the Northwest Army, he could come back and not have to stay there permanently, eh...... That's it. Three months was enough time to go back and forth, and Charles XVI assured Duon that when the time came, when Duon returned, he would be able to get an errand in the imperial capital, and he would not be too far away from his mother.

Three months, it is considered a business trip.

He is the supreme power holder of the Bauhinia Empire, and he is the emperor of the empire. If he pressed down in the form of an order, no matter how tired Du Ang was in his heart, he would have to pinch his nose and listen, but now...... His Majesty the Emperor did not give an order, but used this kind of good words to discuss the tone. It's obviously to give Du Ang face, Du Ang is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do. Now that I've talked about it, I've got it all said. He had no choice but to listen.

Trimester...... All right.

"Young Master, after half a day's journey, we will enter the boundary of the Chalmers Province." The Gaian knight rode his horse and walked beside Duon and said to Duon very respectfully.

This time, Duon was appointed to take office, and the countess was naturally reluctant to let her son leave. But she also understands in her heart that nobility not only means a rich life and a status higher than ordinary people, but also means heavy responsibilities on her shoulders. Now His Majesty the Emperor has an order to appoint his son as the deputy commander of the Northwest Army to the province of Chalmers to carry out pacification work, which is a trust in his son and the trust in the entire McNus family, and he has to go, and he can't help but go.

As a mother, the Countess was naturally worried about her son's trip, and she almost used the most delicate mind to make all the preparations for Duang's trip.

Food, drink, clothing, use. All of this is within the scope of the countess's thinking, she wants to do her best to remove obstacles for Duang, although it cannot be complete, but it is the same as less, no matter how capable and how good Duang is, no matter how awesome he is, in her eyes, Duang is always an ignorant child.

Not only did she prepare almost everything she could possibly use for Duang, but she also sent many loyal and experienced people who had followed her for many years. Among them, there is this knight of Gaia, who is also familiar with Duon.

Before, the Gaia knight had always stayed in the imperial capital, belonging to the exclusive force of guarding the family and the courtyard, and he was going to let him be a teacher for Du Ang, but because Du Ang's martial arts talent was too bad to take shape. For this loyal and honest knight who is a little too much, Du Ang still has a good impression, after all, honest people are not annoyed anywhere, but for his martial arts, Du Ang used not to look down on him, and felt that this brother who was left at home as a watchdog must be the kind of mediocre person whose martial arts skills are not very good, so his father did not take him to the front line battlefield to carry out those strenuous exercises with real swords and guns.

However, later Duon found out that this Gaian knight was not as unbearable as he imagined.

Not to mention the awesome experience that he once won the top few in that ring match, it was at that time, the time when he subdued Barbaloa, in the corner of the wall, Duon was almost smashed in the face by a flying fireball, and he didn't take any precautions at that time, but the Gaia Knight discovered the danger in time and dragged him over...... If Gaia hadn't intervened in time, Duon would have been disfigured by now, even if he hadn't put his life in danger.

The thought that he was going to become an ugly monster who dared to go out on the street with a mask in the future, Du Ang felt deeply afraid.

It is precisely because of this incident that Duon has a very grateful heart for the Gaia Knight, and he also knows that this Gaia Knights are actually very powerful...... Because of that fireball, even if it is put now, Du Ang may not be able to react in advance, and even if he reacts, he may not be able to make any too correct and timely judgments, just from this point of view, his absolute combat power is still far from being compared with the Gaia Knight.

Later, Du Ang also figured out that his father, Count McNuss, was far away, thousands of miles away, and could not take care of his family, and he was a perennial official, and he would definitely offend some opposition forces and political enemies.

Such a person must be strong, loyal, and thoughtful, and will not go out to cause trouble, and from these points, it is estimated that this Gaia knight is the most suitable. He is the most suitable person for the position.

In addition to him, Barbaroa, Lilia, Durala, Buzz, and Federer also came out with Duon. Originally, the Countess also wanted to send Lao Piping over. As a result, he was stopped by Du Ang slowly, looking at his mother's meaning, he couldn't wait to empty the entire Earl's Palace, if even Lao Piping was sent out, then it was better to take his mother directly.

Du Ang said to the countess: "Lao Piping is too old, this trip back and forth for several months, the wind and dust, he can't bear this toss, forget it!" ”

With tears in her eyes, the Countess said, "Son, my dear little pumpkin. You're so pitiful, there's no one around to take care of you, so let's wait for you to come back, and I'll arrange for you and Laura to get married! ”

Marriage......

As a cheeky traveler with two lifetimes of experience. Duang didn't blush at all, in fact, it was more difficult to make him blush now. He was just surprised.

Come on. How old am I now. Why is it involved in marriage?

Okay, Laura's girl is pretty good, let's get married, but I don't know what happened to all the in her family.

The Gutierrez thing that came out of Laura's house before, after that. Duon had never heard of anything again, never seen Laura again, and not even when he landed in the Trials Illusion after that, he didn't notice that Laura was online. It was as if the little girl had disappeared all at once. And Duang was too busy to pay attention to what was going on in Laura's house during this time, so now he felt a little surprised when he heard the countess suddenly mention this matter.

……

In general, now the things that can be arranged in his own family have been arranged as much as possible, and some of them that have not been arranged can only wait to come back, for example, Du Ang had promised the Baron Lawrence at the banquet before, and he cheated to pass the magic association's magician qualification exam, and now he has no time to complete it, for this matter, Du Ang can only apologetically send someone to tell Lawrence that this matter will be delayed a little for so many months, and for Du Ang's apology, Lawrence also expressed a lot of understanding, after all, he was also at the banquet at the time, the Bauhinia Empire Emperor Charles XVI said to Du Ang, Lawrence also stopped in his ears, he knew that this was the emperor's order, whether it was Du Ang, or anyone else, it was impossible to disobey, this so-called royal order is difficult to disobey, so in this matter, he couldn't blame Du Ang too much, although he was extremely anxious, but he could only continue to wait patiently.

Anyway, it is said that Duang will only go for three months, well...... It's not too long, I've been waiting for so many years, so I don't care about waiting a few more months......

Du Ang and his party left the imperial capital, and then walked on the road for a full twelve days before entering the territory of the province of Chalmers. You must know that the border of the Sea of Death on the Bauhinia Empire's side is in the territory of the Chalmers Province.

At this moment, in the distance, a cloud of smoke and dust appeared in front of him, and a group of fully equipped soldiers appeared, each dressed in the brightest military uniform, riding forward, slowly and orderly, towards Du Ang and the group.

As the leader of this team, the Knight of Gaia, as soon as he found out about this, immediately ordered the team to stop, and then rode forward alone, one hand on the hilt of the sword in his waist, and shouted: "Stop, please explain your intentions!" ”

He was very careful, because, although this is still the territory of the Bauhinia Empire, it has reached the position of the border, it is the most marginal province of the Bauhinia Empire, and it belongs to a situation where the emperor is far away, and the forces of all parties here are intertwined, and there are a lot of earth emperors, in addition to the official forces of the empire, there are also the Northwest Army, there are local indigenous forces, there are horse thieves, there are rogues, and there are many people from the Byron Empire who have infiltrated over.

Even, even the official forces of this province are divided into many large and small units, and they are not of one mind, and Jerry, the governor of Chalmers Province, is helpless for such a situation......

It can even be said that in the entire province of Chalmers, aside from those things on the surface, in fact, this Governor Jerry is even the weakest party......

He is just an ordinary nobleman, a descendant of a side branch of a small nobleman in the south, and he doesn't have a too deep background, otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to this caninary and contradictory Chalmers province to be some kind of bullshit governor, there are so many provinces in the entire Bauhinia Empire, no matter which province can't do it? Why does it have to be such a garbage province to be the governor of this province that no one loves to be, or even avoids, because of this.

And on the other hand. If he himself is a powerful samurai, knight, magician or something, then in this complex place, although he can't achieve the goal of controlling the whole domain, he can also have a certain right to speak and have his own place, but unfortunately, he is a scholar who is powerless, neither a samurai nor a knight, nor a magician, except for talking and moving, he has no other skills. Therefore, everyone is on the bright side, because of his status as the governor, in addition to giving him some face, in other more practical interests. He has nothing to say.

The benefits that should be given to the Bauhinia Empire are not a lot at all. Because it was for His Majesty the Emperor, Charles XVI. It's for the royal family, but when it's the governor's turn, there's nothing left, who makes him a poor worm with no strength?

In this kind of place, no matter what kind of force the people are, it is very practical.

After hearing these words of the Gaia Knight. The group of soldiers on the opposite side stopped, and then a captain-like figure stepped out of it, and gave a very standard knightly salute to the Gaia knights: "We are sent by Jerry, the governor of Chalmers, may I ask you Duon?" General McNath's troops? ”

"Yes. The general is right behind! ”

Du Ang heard their conversation here clearly, and at this time, he lifted the reins of his horse, walked to the front of the group, and then said loudly: "I am Du Ang?" McNuss! “

"Hello, General Duon, Donald, Captain of the Governor's Mansion of Chalmers, greetings to you."

"Hello!" Duang nodded slightly, which was considered a return salute.

This Donald Captain Guard, his age is about the same as the age of Duon's dead father, Earl McNuss, and Duang is only a teenager now, in terms of age, this Donald can even be regarded as Duon's elder, but in this world, what can determine the status of two people is not only age, but also identity, status, and blood...... And so on. can change the relationship between high and low brought about by age...... And from these aspects, Donald has no doubt about saluting Duon.

He was just the captain of the guard of the Doge's Palace, which was a very good position for ordinary people, but in front of Duang, he couldn't do it.

Duon, now Count McNus of the Bauhinia Empire, is a high-ranking nobleman personally certified by His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time, he is also the new deputy commander of the Northwest Army, a major general of the Bauhinia Empire, and a magician officially registered with the Bauhinia Empire Magic Association...... Such an identity, no matter where it is placed, is a very weighty existence, not to mention that he is a small captain of the guard of the governor's palace, even if he is the captain of the guard in the palace, in front of Du Ang, he can only grovel......

Donald told Duon that two days earlier, Governor Jerry had received the news of Duon's imminent arrival, and since then, he had been preparing for it, and now he was waiting for Duon to come over in the Governor's Palace. Originally, he wanted to come to greet Duang himself, but at this time, there were suddenly some urgent matters to deal with, so he could only let Donald as a representative to greet Duang.

To tell the truth, Duon is not the kind of person who cares very much about hypocrisy and etiquette, but after hearing the news, he still feels a little unhappy, because this is the first time he has set foot on the land of Chalmers Province, and in the next few months, he will live and work here, and in his current capacity, no matter what, Jerry, who is the governor, should come to greet him, but is he here? No, he didn't show up at all, but just asked a guard captain to come and greet him.

Do? What does that mean? Come up and give yourself a dismount?

Look down on yourself or what?

Damn, do you think Lao Tzu looks down on Lao Tzu when he is young?

Waiting...... We're not done with this.

Although he felt quite awkward in his heart, Du Ang was not so embarrassed for this Donald Guard Captain, nor did he give him any ugly face, because Du Ang knew that this Donald Guard Captain was a person who listened to people's orders, as a guard captain, he had no say in front of Governor Jerry, he was just an errand minion, Jerry asked him to come, he had to come, and he had no way to care about other things, Du Ang thought that he was a person with identity and reasonableness, no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, Nor will he embarrass a poor man whose actions are out of his control.

Therefore, he was still very polite to Donald, and he didn't feel sorry for him, just asked himself where he was going to rest today? and the process of meeting with Governor Jerry later, but beyond that, he let Donald lead the way, and then led his men to the capital of the province of Chalmers: Roland.

In fact, for this young deputy commander, although Donald was very polite, but there were some small differences in his heart, especially when he saw the forty long carriage convoys behind Duon, he thought: "Such a big man? Hmph, little hairy kid, it's just ...... What's in those boxes? (To be continued......)
