But Paul shook his head and said in a deep voice: "At first, there was a little bit, but then I also figured it out, I did the thing, and naturally I had to take responsibility.

Even if there is no such thing as this time, there will be other things in the future.

From the moment I first entered the Lion Guard, I was prepared for this, but I didn't expect it to harm my family. ”

Philip is guilty, but he won't say things like I owe you, which is a taboo for the superiors.

He continued: "Have you not thought of taking another wife, if not for you, but for your daughter. You follow me around like this, and someone has to take care of her.

And always have a son, and continue your bloodline. ”

Paul nodded, a smile on his face, "Vida has agreed to marry me, and she moved into the house before leaving." ”

Oh, the news surprised Philip, who had thought that the infatuated man would sink in a whirlpool of sorrow for a few years.

Paul continued: "Vida is my wife's cousin, and they have a good relationship with each other, and Hailing likes her very much.

This year, thanks to her help, I was able to cope with it, I really didn't know that taking care of a child would be so difficult.

Vida is a widow whose husband died at the border two years ago, leaving behind a one-year-old son.

Now I have both my son and my daughter. ”

Philip felt a taste of happiness in his smile, which was a good thing, young children need a mother after all, and two young people who are sympathetic to each other can also warm each other's lonely and sad hearts with each other's body heat.

There are countless such reorganized families in the Wardsman Empire, and according to the statistics of the Imperial Civil Affairs Department, the life after marriage is happier than that of those newly married, probably because they all know what it means to cherish.

Philip also had a smile on his face, and he said sincerely: "Congratulations, you should have told me in advance, and I will make up the gift when I get back." ”

Paul is in his thirties, but there is a feeling of shyness that makes Philip look funny, and it seems that this lady is really suitable for him.

"What are your plans in the future? Just stay by my side as a bodyguard, and Jones will agree?" asked Philip with concern.

Paul's face sank, and he scratched at his beard before replying, "I haven't been in contact with my mother for a year since his funeral broke up last year."

Although the original person was not him, I didn't want to see that face again, and I rarely even looked in the mirror.

I've figured it out, that path to power, while tempting, doesn't work for everyone, at least not for me.

You warned me more than two years ago, I know, but unlike my brother, I really didn't find that strong heart.

To be able to follow your side, simply be a martial artist, and be able to accompany my daughter to grow up in my spare time is already very satisfying.

I don't know if I let go of that entanglement, my strength has improved a lot this year, and I think it won't be long before I can cross the threshold that has blocked me for five years. ”

This news made Philip a little surprised, the third to fourth level of the moat blocked countless people, only by really crossing this step can he be regarded as a real strongman, he congratulated: "When the time comes, I will apply to my grandfather to ask for the title of viscount for you, I have actually wronged you all these years."

If you want to return to the Wild Lion Division, I will arrange a suitable position for you, the brigade commander may have difficulties, but a team leader with real power can't run. ”

Who knew that Paul shook his head and refused: "Our brothers used to have bad popularity in the division, but now Jones is better, I'll forget it."

As for the title, just follow fate, you also know that we are just illegitimate children, those people don't say it, but in the end it is still different. ”

Philip nodded, and didn't continue, it was easy for him to have a high-end combat power by his side, how could he rush out.

If Paul's awakening level was followed, he would have become a division commander a long time ago, but in this world, the law of simple parity between combat power and title will not always follow.

His grandfather Brad has only been a third-level awakened so far, but he is one of the few division commanders in the empire, and the Wild Lion family is a hereditary earl who is protected by the Imperial Code.

"You also know that I have joined the temple system, and a high-level temple warrior will be far stronger than the empty viscount's fief. Philip comforted and drew him a flatbread.

Paul nodded, and agreed.

"Take advantage of this opportunity to help me adjust those scrap wood, they have made a lot of jokes in the past two days. Philip changed the subject.

The scrap wood in his mouth refers to his younger brothers in the Green Tree and Vine Academy, Duke is the eldest of them, as well as Julian with a blessed face and Gerald with a freckled face.

Before graduating, Philip talked to them separately that he would help recommend a suitable position if he wanted to join the Wild Lions, and in the end, the remaining five or six people expressed their willingness to continue to follow him.

As a leader, Philip will take them with him, give them opportunities, and give them time to grow.

Among these people, those who can keep up with his growth will naturally have more room for development, and as for those who can't keep up, he will also arrange suitable positions for them.

Except, of course, Duke, who was destined to be the one to be tied to his own belt by Philip.

No one would have imagined that Julian, who was tall and powerful with broad shoulders and a fat body, was a man with a peaceful and generous personality, and even had a family tradition of exquisite cooking.

His grandfather and father were both well-known gourmets in the southeastern part of the empire, and they traveled all over the world all year round to taste the world's delicacies.

But in Julian's generation, instead of inheriting the family heritage, he was more eager to become a warrior.

Gerard, on the other hand, was a man with a thin body and long legs, and his maternal grandfather was a well-known gold medal lawyer in Gokan City.

Originally, the whole family had high hopes for the only man, but Gerald himself had no interest in the vast sea of literature and boring legal provisions, but was brave and ruthless since he was a child, and liked to cause trouble the most.

What's even more unexpected is that these two people with completely opposite family backgrounds, appearances, and personalities are best friends.

Of course, according to Philip, if it weren't for Julian's persuasion and reconciliation, with Gerald's character, he would have been beaten to death.

At this time, the two brothers sat back to back on the ground, kneading the soles of their sore feet, sighing and complaining.

There are more than 30 people on this trip, and a few of them who have just graduated are the most immature, and of course, their strength is also the worst.

However, Duke, as the leader, always rushes to the front in everything, opening roads, setting up camps, hunting, cooking and other miscellaneous tasks are all handled by a few of them, and they live like servants.

Even so, he has to endure the teasing and training of Chand's subordinates, and he has no human rights, and life is worse than death.

But the situation is stronger than people, and if you can't beat others, you have to admit it, and you have to have such an awareness when you live at the bottom of the food chain.

However, a few of them were also painful and happy, and after a few days of wild travel and being teased like monkeys by Qian De and others, they all felt that their knowledge and strength were growing rapidly.

"Cut, what's the matter, when I wake up, I see that they still dare to be arrogant in front of me. Gerald grumbled quietly, but those little eyes were looking around, afraid to be heard.

"Forget it, what's the use of complaining, hurry up and get some water back, boil some hot water to scald your feet to sleep, it's like a human life to rush like this. "Julian weighs more, and naturally has a harder time.

Especially for their trip this time, they are prepared for battle according to the standard, from full-body armor to logistics materials, all for training, so that they can enter the role as soon as possible.

Gerald picked up the bucket, said hello to the sentry and walked to the river, not to mention, he had watched old Potter choose the means of camping in the past two days, and even shamelessly asked, but he had really learned something.

Take tonight's campsite as an example, the sun is leeward, close to the water, but the ground is dry and firm.

Behind it is a gentle slope, flanked by small hills two or three people high, with lush trees, which are not dangerous from mudslides, and are so hidden that even if you light a bonfire, you can't see it from a distance.

He first fetched a bucket of water, set it aside, and gave the hot water to Julian for a while, and he just washed it by the river, and really didn't have the strength to wait for the second pot of boiling water.

He poked his head above the surface of the water and was about to start washing, when suddenly he felt the water in front of him shake a little.

He thought it was a hallucination caused by his fatigue, but soon, countless ripples on the water surface intertwined one after another, and a dull sound could be heard in the depths of the jungle not far away.

After all, he is also an excellent cadet who graduated from the Green Tree Vine Intermediate Military Academy, and he still has professionalism and vigilance.

"Watch out, there's something coming. With a loud shout, he ran to the camp, and the bucket was thrown in the spot.

The people in the camp reacted quickly, and before he could finish the short distance of more than 300 meters, everyone was already in full array, only Duke and the others were still wearing armor in a panic.

Old Potter was the first to notice the problem, he was so familiar with the mountain that he knew what to expect if it smelled wrong.

"There's a tide of beasts coming, and there's a big beast inside. ”

The second to notice the problem was Paul, who had just watched Philip burrow into the tent and then looked sharply to the east, his brow furrowed.

"Philip came out, there was a situation. ”

By the time Gerrard stumbled into the formation and took his armor from Julian, Philip was tightly encircled and protected.

"Now that your vision is unclear, don't move.

All of them entered the southern mountain range, and Chand, you took ten men and used those few boulders to establish the first line of defense.

Paul, you take sixteen men and set up a second line of defense ten meters behind Chand, protecting his two wings.

Throw the campfire outside and light up the beach.

Duke, you lead the cadets to drive all the mounts behind us, and set up a third line of defense, ready to guard against attacks from behind. ”

Philip, as the leader of this group and a top student of military command, decisively gave the order.

Qian De and the others reacted quickly, and immediately arrived at their respective areas with the corresponding equipment after receiving the order.

Among them, the people led by Chande were all warriors with big shoulders and round waists, all carrying huge shields, and the other hand did not use steel swords, but pulled out a few trees with thick bowls, and cut off the excess branches with a few simple swords, and it became a thick spear, which was placed on top of the shield.

I have to say that the military literacy of the Ward Iron Warriors is too high, and even Duke and a few other students quickly entered the state after the initial panic.

In less than two minutes, the entire 33 people, including Potter Sr. and Philip, were all in place and ready to fight.

Judging by the smell of the wind and the direction of the sound, the beast tide came from the only open river.

As Paul and the others threw them, the flaming sticks and rockets were thrown all over the riverbank, which suddenly expanded everyone's field of vision by nearly ten times.

With light in the darkness, fear is dispelled, and while these Ward GIs don't think they need to be afraid, they're just beasts, far from being scared by their heavily armoured and armored killing machines.

But they were wrong, and they were wrong.

This is not a beast tide, but a beast sea.

Before they could see what kind of beast was rushing through the darkness, they were startled by the continuous shaking of the ground.

The muffled sound in the darkness grew louder and louder, and at last it seemed to hit them directly in the heart, deafening.

Julian clenched the sword and shield in his hand uneasily, his palms were slightly sweaty, and when he turned his head, his good brother Gerard was also a little glazed, and his throat was constantly swallowing saliva.

The other students were not much better, only Duke, who was standing behind Philip, was still calm, and the standard bow in his hand was ready to be drawn at any time.

As the distant voices drew closer, they reached a point where the figure of the first beast appeared in their sight.

First of all, there was a group of nose rats, these little things were all over the mountains, but they were timid in nature, and they all bypassed the areas where everyone was hiding.

Then a lincat, more than a meter long, was much larger than the one that the two little ones had encountered in the valley, and its hair was even more vigorous, and it looked like a black cloud floating from a distance.

The cats vigilantly bypassed the blazing torches and ran towards the gentle slope behind them, more than fifty meters away from them.

But this was only the beginning, followed by more than a dozen cats and three or four large and muscular black panthers.

The speed and agility of the feline make them run at the front of the beast tide, and countless black shadows flash in the distant darkness, indicating that the scale of the beast tide is very large, and their beach is only a corner of it.

One of them, a black panther more than two meters long, jumped onto the boulder guarded by Chande and others, and was immediately startled by this group of steel monsters, and hurriedly jumped up to the mountain next to him, avoiding the miserable end of being dismembered by random knives.

But the dolphins that followed them were not so smart.

More than 50 wild dolphins passed by the side of the boulder with the hideous sword bones on their backs, and seven or eight of them stupidly crashed into the defense line of Chand and the others.

"Kill!"

Although Chand is sometimes slippery, he is a qualified fighter on the battlefield.

I saw that the shield in his hand crossed half a circle, and with a bang, a honey dolphin weighing nearly one ton and more than two meters long flew out.

The inch-thick shield was scratched twice by the hard sword bone, and the dolphin rolled four or five times on the ground, struck three of its companions and lay there on his back, then trampled under the feet of the surging beasts, and did not move.

The same thing happened in seven or eight places, some were knocked away by shields, some were pierced by spears cut from thick branches, and for a while they could not die, and rolled on the ground in pain.

The terrible howl mixed with the sound of rolling hooves was not really heard.

It seemed that Chand and the others were coping with it very easily, but it was just an appetizer before the big meal, just a warm-up.

With that, there were more honey dolphins and beast dragons mixed in.

Paul and the others also joined the warband, and they took cover on the side of the Chandmen and others, slashing the beasts that took advantage of the chaos to bypass the flank.

The dripping rain of blood and the mournful screams of the beast before death became the main theme of the world, and even Philip turned out to be a cat and a dolphin, and the blood was spilled on him.

However, compared to the huge, armor-clad beast dragons, those honey dolphins looked like harmless pets.

Soon, there was a trembling and dull crashing sound from the boulder in front of Chand, the sound of a grumpy beast earth dragon crashing wildly.

Although these two boulders are more than three meters high and four or five meters thick, they are only soft beaches underneath, and they cannot withstand such a strong impact.

Seeing that both boulders had been pushed back by more than two meters, and the gap between them had widened to more than half a meter wide, Philip knew he had to change his tactics.

It would be a disaster to let such a brainless bulldozer crash through boulders and into the crowd.

In the end, he underestimated the scale of the beast tide, and the tactical arrangement at the beginning was not reasonable.

He opened his awakening, and shouted in a much larger voice: "Chand continues to hold the boulder, and Paul leads the men up the hill to establish a defensive line."

Duke followed me and took Paul's place. ”

Paul didn't bother to leave Philip's side, he knew that with Philip's ability, the pressure at the moment was not too great.

The terrifying thing is that if he can't stabilize the top of the mountain and pick them up in time, the rolling beast tide behind will completely tear these thirty or so people to pieces.

He was the first to grab a tree, stepped on a steep hill and climbed the ridge, slashed a panther that attacked him in two with a single sword, and pulled him up by turning back and taking the hand of a warrior.

The warriors below followed the movements of the person in front of them in an orderly manner, approaching the direction of the mountain in turn, while Philip took Duke and the others to fill the empty space they left one by one.

After seeing that all the fifteen warriors had climbed the hill and stabilized their positions, Philip grabbed Old Potter and threw him up with a flick of his shoulder.
