Chapter 332: Gathering the Soldiers
Even the Grand Magister Antoun bowed his head, and the rest of the mages looked at each other and learned the same move.
"I'm sorry, Lord Raven, but I hope you don't take my previous offense to heart. Antun looked sincere, and letting a great mage master bow his head was probably a big leap for Wang Chu himself in the past two years.
Lias tugged at her fingers and shook them happily, the human size seemed small in comparison to the beasts, and she could only grasp one of her fingers with one hand.
Roar ~ Roar ~ Roar~
The surrounding citizens shouted loudly in the rain, especially the soldiers that Rias had brought from the imperial capital, who thought that their victory would bring them honor as well.
Seeing so many people shouting the name of the Raven God, Theron walked towards the center.
"It was an amazing battle, and we got to see an amazing being. Theron looked to his side, then bowed deeply.
"I believe it won't be long before we can return to Sunchase City. ”
"Return to the City of the Sun. ”
"Return to Sunchase City!"
Theron stood in front of the townspeople, reassuring them loudly that even the rain was loud enough to echo through the valley.
The highest mountain range, which is also the place where his camp is located, has almost more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, especially the army is even more than refugees, and there are camps on each hill, and the farthest one is of course close to the wilderness, and there are no refugees in that area, all of them are the most elite troops and high-level magicians in the city.
All of them together should be a population of several million.
Even if the entire city is flooded, Theron must do a good job of defending the border.
After all, this city belongs to his family and is the property of their generations, compared to the invasion of the eastern country next door, the south is the most terrifying, the eastern kingdom is more or less a human country, will not kill people at will and can talk about whatever conditions are needed, the current Asta Empire has enough ability to negotiate conditions with any country, and those alien races in the wilderness have no way at all.
Drinking blood and eating flesh, anything can be done.
On the day of Wang Chu's victory, Aine gathered all the troops under his command, including the ones he had brought from the imperial capital and the various sub-chiefs of the Lucifergus family in the south, adding up to almost 60,000 people.
"I have more than 60,000 people in my hands, and if you add the elite troops on the border defense of the city of Heaven, it should be close to 200,000 people. Inside Lias's tent, Ain said to her.
After the competition, no one questioned his ability, all that remained was to gather troops and prepare for the next characters, and Ain seemed to have something to say to Lias, so he came here.
"That's enough, Uncle Ain, are you going to leave today?" asked Lias.
Although Ain hasn't behaved obviously in the past few days, he has always been anxious in his heart, after all, Henry has been missing for so many days.
The form of a raven stood on the wooden shelf where the clothes were hung, and Wang Chu watched the scene where the two generals from the imperial capital said goodbye to each other, oh, by the way, they are still from the same family, and Ain is still the patriarch of the Lucifergus family.
"Of course, I'm going to take my troops to the southern wilderness at once. Ain replied in the affirmative, he had to catch up with the clock.
But even if such a person has been missing for ** days, can he really be found?
Wang Chu was not too optimistic, if the wilderness was really as dangerous as they said, Henry was afraid that there would be more than one luck.
Aine suddenly took something out of his belt bag and put it in Lias's hand, a slightly shorter saber, the size of two palms, and the scabbard was inlaid with all kinds of expensive jewels, which seemed to be an ornament rather than a use.
"This is something that has been handed down by the Lucy Figgs family, and it is said to be the personal sword used by the Sword Master back then...... If we can come back, you can give it to Novai and tell her the story of me and her brother. Aine said earnestly, sounding like his last words.
Lias also felt uncomfortable.
"Uncle Ain, you will come back safely. ”
"I'm just saying what if...... We are soldiers and we must prepare for the worst at all times, we have never lived in peacetime, and I also participated in the foreign war of the Asta Empire more than ten years ago, the last battle your father participated in, and I was in it at that time. Ain said, and Lias looked at him in surprise.
Even Wang Chu on the side has rarely heard about Lias's father, and he has only known that her father died in a certain war, and it was also a battle against the Eastern Kingdom, and it seems that Julian has never told Lias about how he died.
"If I make it back alive, I'll tell you about your father. ”
Lias nodded heavily, this was probably the story she was most willing to hear...... It has been, for many years.
"By the way, Uncle Ain, I remember that when I went on the expedition, it was directly ordered by the Empire, and the order book said that the Cathedral and the Wizards' Guild were sent over at the same time, but it is still ......" Although it has only been a day since I arrived at the camp, this matter has been haunted by Lias for several days.
"Other agencies have also been dispatched...... Well, a lot like a king's style of doing things. Aine thought for a moment and said.
"Maybe they're in trouble on the way, after all, it's a bunch of magicians, and the speed of the march is far less than the soldiers of the military headquarters. ”
Lias thought back to the time when she came here, especially when she first encountered the flood zone, and if it wasn't for Cam's presence, she probably wouldn't have been able to leave, which was also the most likely scenario.
"Heavy rain in the south, it is already difficult to send it out by letter, after that, you can ask the Magician Association of Sun-Seeking City to help you get in touch, remember Lias, you are now the highest-ranking general representing the entire imperial capital, don't simply listen to the opinions of Sun-Seeking City at any time, if you encounter anything difficult to decide, discuss it with your adjutant to find the best way." "This is the most important confession that Ain can leave behind.
Soldiers had already arrived outside the tent to remind the team that they had assembled.
"So, I'll go. ”
Lias wanted to say a few more words, but she slipped to her mouth and swallowed back, the generals of the military department should have been mentally prepared for many times.
Ain left the tent, leaving only Wang Chu and Lias inside.
She looked at herself with a complicated look.
"We're going to have to prepare, Cam. ”
