Chapter 317: The future is bright

Robben, Green Soul, and Eighteen Servants!

No one knew how long the war would last, but Aaron knew that as the mage leader of a legion, and as a powerful Sacred Domain Great Elder, it would be absolutely no problem for him to occupy an independent space in the legion! After all, in everyone's eyes, a Sacred Domain-level Great Elder was equivalent to a legion in itself! To have an independent space in the army, in the name of magic experiments and magic cultivation, no one would dare to disturb him. Even if someone comes, with Robben and the Green Soul outside, they can easily send people away!

If you want to quickly recover your spiritual strength, if you want to quickly improve your own strength, you can't do it without the presence of a large qi gathering array! In the legion, as long as you don't take out the eighteen servants casually, even if the weakest of them is only the strength of the ninth rank top, I believe there will not be any danger. After all, even if a Sacred Domain powerhouse came to attack the camp, in the huge military camp, who would pay attention to the little servants who were not dangerous!

In the past few years, the strength of the eighteen servants has developed greatly, and even the last batch of servants has rushed to the peak of the ninth-level power, as long as there is enough time, Alun has enough confidence that they can rush directly into the gold realm without any obstacles!

As long as all the eighteen servants enter the golden realm, the power of the Qi Gathering Array will increase exponentially, and at that time, not only will the speed of divine body cultivation increase exponentially, but even the replenishment of blood power will become a fairly easy task!

After a few days at the headquarters, Bernice came again, and with her came an order signed by His Majesty the Emperor himself! After all, Aaron's current identity and strength are no longer ordinary, and the courtesy given to him by the empire will naturally increase accordingly!

"The deputy commander of the Ninth Legion, the commander of the mage group of the Ninth legion, has the privilege of directly transferring the mage group without the consent of the legion commander. Lord Aaron, what are you still dissatisfied with the Empire's arrangement?" The smile on Bernice's face was still cold, but there was a hint of surprise in those crystal eyes, and the source of the surprise was the green soul floating in the void behind Aaron. The Great Elder in front of him actually had another servant of the Holy Domain.

Bernice was shocked, but Aaron was also moved, the conditions of the empire were too generous, how could he be dissatisfied. It would be too greedy to be promoted from an "ordinary person" who did not have any military rank to be promoted to the deputy commander of the legion, and even more to have the right to completely control the mage group! It's just that Aaron has a slight doubt in his heart, even if he is a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, the empire shouldn't be so open! After all, he is also the leader of the dark left! Isn't the empire always the most taboo about the army colluding with outside intelligence organizations?

In Aaron's heart, he had always regarded the commander of the mage group promised by the empire before as a false title! However, he didn't think that the empire had any other thoughts about him, after all, the great war was imminent, and it was impossible for the empire to have different intentions towards them, the powerhouses of the Holy Realm, at this time!

After pondering for a while, Aaron's eyes were fixed on Bernice, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty's gift is too generous, and I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to convey it to Your Majesty......, Alun may not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility!

"Lord Aaron doesn't need to be modest, three of the top ten powerhouses in the mainland have fallen, if you are re-selected, I believe you will definitely be able to occupy one of the positions! With the strength of the top ten powerhouses, only letting you serve as a mere deputy army commander is actually already wronging you. ”

In the eyes of the Great Elder, Bernice still smiled lightly: "...... The current situation on the mainland is turbulent, and war will be the theme of the entire continent for a long time to come! The outbreak of war means that great changes will take place in the territory between countries, and every territory is given to us by the great gods, so that the flames of war can burn in other countries, and the territory of the empire will always be peaceful, which is what the imperial family should do! So, in any case, Lord Aaron, you still have to worry about the affairs of the Southeast Front, if there is any crisis, you can act completely autonomously without caring about the orders of those corps commanders......"

Let the flames of war burn in other countries! The war on the southeast front will naturally burn against the city-state of St. Ferry! Compared with the false words in the first half of the sentence, this latter sentence is the reason why the empire gives generous treatment to the powerful people of the holy realm!

After a slight pause in her voice, a trace of madness burned in Bernice's ice eyes, and her thin lips pursed slightly, shedding a faint blood-devouring meaning: "But for the time being, the main object of the empire is still the Bright Empire, so the southeast front is mainly based on deterrence! Of course, if there is a chance to pull out the nail of the dragon fortress, the empire will also give you the greatest support! As for how the opportunity comes, the commanders of the Southeast Theater will do their best to create it, and if you are interested, you can also use some means yourself." However, the only requirement of the empire is that if you don't have the certainty of taking the dragon fortress in one fell swoop, you should try to focus on deterrence and try to avoid large-scale battles!"

Aaron's heart twitched a few times, for a long time, Aragon has always been recognized as the strongest country in the continent, even at this time, I am afraid that only the Slovenian Empire, which has the arrival of Christopher and the existence of a group of rescued purgatory demons, can be compared to it. You must know that under the continuous war under internal and external troubles, Aragon still maintains a relatively complete territory, and this national strength alone is enough to make people look sideways.

Finally, are you going to start going all out?

Bernice's meaning is already obvious, the main target of the empire is the Empire of Light, taking advantage of the war between the Slovenians and the Empire of Light, she wants to concentrate her forces and fight the Empire of Light to a permanent point that is difficult to turn over! At this time, all the forces that may help the Empire of Light will be the potential enemies of Aragon, and the city-state of St. Phili, which has always been at odds with the Slovenians and Aragon, is the primary potential enemy!

No! Not a potential enemy! It should also be one of the main targets! Otherwise, how could Bernice use a cryptic tone to let a Sanctuary force like Aaron take the initiative to create opportunities! Aragon is so powerful that as long as he has the opportunity, even if he fights on two fronts, he will pull out the sharpest tooth of the city-state of St. Ferry, the "Dragon Fortress"!

It was from here that Aaron saw the determination of the most powerful heir of the imperial family, and under that cold appearance, Bernice actually hid a fiery and crazy heart! It was from here that Aaron knew that the empire was finally going to go all out! Even the preparations for a two-front war have been made, and the potential strength of the empire should have been prepared!

There is no hypocrisy, the purple light in Aaron's eyes is also burning, since the empire has decided to go all out, the large tracts of land outside will be the most important spoils of the post-war reward. The size of this loot is completely dependent on itself!

Nodding slightly, Alun said in a deep voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please rest assured, maintaining the tranquility of the imperial territory is not only the obligation of the imperial family, but also the unshirkable responsibility of every person in the empire!

A bright smile bloomed on Bernice's ice face, and the Great Elder's reaction was exactly what she meant, but she didn't forget to throw another pie: "Father said that if the war on the southeast front can burn a large area of the city-state of St. Philip and leave there no danger within the empire, then the land burned by the war may re-establish a new province, and the lords of the province will also be produced in this battle!"

The order signed by Louis III himself, Aaron did not dare to slack off, handed over all the affairs to Camilla and his men that day, and rushed to the camp where the Ninth Legion was located early the next morning. As one of the four major legions that were temporarily expanded, the Ninth Legion still adheres to the fine traditions of Alagon, and there is no cannon fodder regiment!

Indeed, there are a large number of mages, and a large number of skeleton legions and zombie legions can be summoned anytime and anywhere, and there is no need for cannon fodder regiments in the Ninth Legion! The Immortal and the Lords of the Abyss have also given the Aragon the most desired power.

It is precisely because of this that the number of the Ninth Legion is not very large, even counting the logistics army, it can only reach 50,000 people! 50,000 people per legion! It is almost only half of the city-state of St. Ferry, or the same strength of the Bright Empire, or even less! Among these 50,000 people, there are about 6,000 people under the command of Aaron, and the Great Elder and the Elemental Mage account for half each! It should be said that among the newly built legions, the proportion of this mage is already very high, especially the proportion of the Great Elder. Don't forget, the mage army is a noble army built up with financial resources.

The camp of the Ninth Army was in a large valley southeast of the imperial capital, which was specially planned to train the new army. No one inside shall go out unless commanded, nor shall anyone outside enter.

At this time, at the entrance of the valley, a group of people were waiting. Ever since he received an urgent report from the military headquarters last night, the Marquis of Spann has been a little uneasy. As the commander of the Ninth Legion, it was not necessary for him to come and greet him personally when the commander of a mage regiment came to report this kind of thing. However, he also knew that although he was indeed the nominal supreme commander of the Ninth Army Corps, if it was about the actual core, as long as he thought about what the military department had repeatedly explained that he was not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the division regiment, he would be clear!

However, Marquis Span's mentality is very lenient, who let the leader of this mage group be a powerhouse in the Sacred Domain, and even more among the powerhouses in the Sacred Domain, the power of the top perverted existence! You know, even the most elite legions in the empire, few have the existence of a strong person in the Sacred Domain! Let this kind of person do things under him, even if it is only a nominal subordinate, it can make Marquis Spann boast for a lifetime.

"My lord, it should be Master Aaron who is here!" a guard's voice rang in the ears of the Marquis of Span, and he was awakened from his fantasy. Following the fingers of the guard, a few black dots that suddenly appeared in the sky were imprinted into the eyes of Marquis Span, and still in the extreme distance, the ferocious and violent aura of destruction was already clearly visible, and there would be no one else who could rush here at this time, except for Master Aaron, the leader of the mage group!

In an instant, everyone's faces showed respect, and the eyes of several mage group leaders showed irrepressible excitement. The brightest star of the empire for thousands of years! After only ten years of joining the army, he has already entered the legendary Sanctuary, and he is still one of the most powerful people in the Sanctuary! The speed of this kind of power is not comparable to even the legendary great Lord Walter!

The black dot is naturally a ghost dragon! Flying fast in the sky, but in the blink of an eye, the three-headed ghost dragon has already flown before the valley. On the ghost dragon, the figures of Aaron and a group of servants also became clear, Robben, the green soul, and the eighteen servants, a lot! The majestic momentum, even if they were all converged, also pressed the hearts of the people below! Noticing the people who greeted him below, the ghost dragon slowly descended under Aaron's control.

A bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and Marquis Spann greeted him warmly, laughing loudly as he walked: "Master Aaron, you are finally here! I am the commander of the Ninth Legion, Marquis Span, and all the members of the Ninth Legion welcome your arrival. In the future, I hope that the master can give more guidance on the affairs of the legion, and we will definitely cooperate with you fully!"

In the extremely respectful words of the Marquis of Span, Alun was slightly surprised in his heart, and he, the commander of the legion, actually asked him to give advice. The name of the powerhouse of the Holy Domain is too good!

With a hint of doubt, Alun flew down from the ghost dragon with a smile: "Lord Marquis, you don't have to be polite, how can I, a person who has never led an army, guide the operation of the army indiscriminately, the Ninth Legion still depends on your command!" After a slight pause, he nodded to the several mages behind Marquis Span, and Alun continued with a smile: "Because of the delay in some affairs, I couldn't come over earlier, these days, I have troubled you mages." In the future, I hope you can contribute more to the management of the mage group!"

Several mages were all old men, and when they heard Aaron's words, their expressions changed slightly, and they all showed a faint bitterness.

As the oldest member of the mage group, Magister Benjamin was the temporary leader of the mage group during this time. The wrinkles on his face were deeply sunken, and Benjamin said with a bitter face: "My lord, you should personally lead the mage group, we old guys are okay to study magic, and we really have more than enough heart to help you manage the mage group well!"

Which of these old guys is not a human spirit, knowing that they are not capable of competing with Aaron for power, they naturally have to avoid the suspicion of fighting for power as early as possible. Moreover, they are not entirely to avoid suspicion, and it is indeed as Benjamin said, it is okay to let these people study magic, but it is a little difficult for them to let them manage the normal affairs of the mage group.

In the past few days since the establishment of the legion, even if they are busy half dead every day, the overall appearance of the mage regiment still cannot be compared with the other units of the legion! And as noble magicians, they cannot accept the leadership of ordinary soldiers, so the training and other affairs of this mage regiment have been delayed. Although Aaron was well-informed, the affairs of this forbidden place were still unclear, and the old mage's words were regarded by him as humble words, and he was about to say a few more words, but the Marquis of Spann intervened again.

"Master, let's talk about it later!" Alun didn't know the situation in the legion, but Span knew the affairs of the mage group, so naturally he wouldn't let things that didn't belong to him spoil the current harmonious atmosphere, Span smiled and said: "A banquet has been set up inside, and some of the most important leaders in the legion are waiting for your arrival, do you want to go over and meet them first, and you can better accept your orders later!"

Aaron's heart moved again, what is going on with this army commander, as soon as he says three words, he can't wait to put all the power in the army into his hands. Such a noble personality really made the suspicious Great Elder feel strange! However, the face of the Legion Commander still had to be sold, and he didn't say anything more to the few people in the Mage Regiment at the moment, Alun nodded and smiled: "Lord Marquis arrange it, since you have come to the Ninth Legion, if there is anything, Lord Marquis can directly order it......"

Although Aaron's words were modest, Span didn't dare to take them seriously, after all, the Great Elder's reputation for killing the Philip family and the Maxville family was still far away! Span led his subordinates and respectfully invited Aaron into the valley, and how to skip the banquet afterwards was not discussed, anyway, no one dared to trouble Aaron. However, at the end of the banquet, when Span sent Aaron alone, the real reason why he always wanted to put power in Aaron's hands came out.

"Lord Aaron, Lord Chavez has asked me to greet you!" Span's flushed face continued to glow with wine, but his expression was still humble: "Lord Duke said that I need to consult you more about the affairs of the Ninth Legion. Only if all the units of the clan can cooperate with your actions, the clan will be able to use it to its maximum potential. Your Excellency, you can rest assured, as long as I, Span, am still the commander of the Ninth Legion, as long as you are still in the Ninth Legion, you can call the shots of all things......" As he spoke, Spann smiled and said bluntly: "Let's tell you the truth, my Legion Commander was actually won for me by the Duke, as long as you can lead the Legion to a good record, my credit will definitely be indispensable." Hehe, the Duke made it very clear to me that only by relying on you can the Ninth Legion make a great cause, and whether I, the Marquis, can rise a little more, it all depends on you!"

Alun was speechless for a while, although there are many people among the nobles who mix military merits, but they blatantly sit in the position of the commander of the legion to mix military merits, and they are so open-minded, I am afraid that there is only this Marquis of Span. As soon as his heart moved, the information of the Marquis of Spann immediately jumped out, the consistent ally of the Chavez family, the protector of the empire, and the husband of one of the duke's most precious daughters!
