Chapter Twenty-Four: Behind the Fog (2) - A Rapid March

Cher was on her back, and Turks asked, "Jack, when are you going to go back to Garland?" Tex asked this question a little heavily, and he was a little sad to ask.

Jack's mind was in turmoil right now, and the words that Coren had said in Eddard's castle kept echoing in his ears. He didn't know what to say to Turks, but he just looked at the main city of Missus in the north.

"Tomorrow morning, my father and the emperor will set off for the Holy Ape Country to train the orc troops, I think, let Xue'er send you back to Garland, soon. Turks suggested quietly.

Yes, with the existence of Cher, even if it is a journey of thousands of miles, you can fly to it in one day. The problem is, Jack doesn't really want to go back.

"Turks, remember what I told you? I came here to find another space where the Garlands lived. For this purpose, my brothers have not yet arrived on this continent, and they ......" Jack said this, choking up. The boy has tears and does not flick, but the scenes of those brothers who were killed in the sea are playing in his mind every day, night, and moment, and he can't help but miss them.

"I've decided to stay, no matter what the future holds, I'm going to fulfill Johnson's last wish and let the Garlandians return to life on the mainland!" Jack's eyes lit up as he looked ahead with determination.

Tex on the side smiled very movingly: "Good friend, thank you for staying and sharing my weal and woe!" The two looked at each other and smiled, as if the future greeted them, even death didn't matter.

The night passed quickly, and Jack felt like he was lying in bed and had only one dream before Tex's wake up.

It's time to go.

The mountains and forests have not yet woken up, and there are only a few vendors in the market who have set up their stalls early, but they don't have to be so early, they just can't sleep at night.

In front of the palace gate, under the faint light of the sky, about a hundred people gathered, all dressed in uniform silver steel armor, wearing red cloaks, holding their swords, standing in a queue and waiting.

These people are all soldiers carefully sent by the lords of various city-states, and they are all orphans without fathers and mothers, but even if their origins are so miserable, they have never been defeated by fate, and they still live their wonderful lives in the army, thus becoming the best of the crowd.

King Coron personally put on the battle, Jack had never seen him wear a military uniform, and the Coren in front of him was really eye-catching in a golden armor. This military uniform also made him look full of energy and morale.

"Brothers!" Coren did not call the person in front of him a soldier, but changed it to a more affectionate word: "Brothers, thank you very much for being able to stand here today! You are all the pride of the people of the Missile! Perhaps, since you were a child, you have no father or mother, no relatives to take care of, you have suffered a lot, and you have suffered a lot of grievances, but the people of the Missilean country treat you as if you were their own sons!" Cologne's words resonated with the soldiers, and the crowd shouted: "Missile! Missus!" The cry rang out in unison.

"Brothers, today, this is our first trip to the Sacred Ape Country. You must have heard from your lords before you came here about the dangers of the place where you are going, but none of you have volunteered to go, and why is that?

The crowd chanted again.

"I think it's enough to say that, and I believe that you have the ability to overcome the difficulties that are coming and accomplish great things!" said Cologne, who had finished his speech.

The soldiers rode their respective military horses and set off in an orderly manner towards the Holy Ape Country in the south.

"Tex, you're good enough in this outfit! I don't even recognize you when you're standing in the middle of them!" Jack was surprised to find Tex in the ranks of the soldiers, who was wearing the same military uniform as the others, riding in the middle, and if it weren't for his "suspicious appearance", Jack would never have been able to find him.

"Haha, handsome! It's the first time I've worn a soldier's armor! How could I have forgotten you!, friend, forgive me!" Turks said apologetically.

Jack, who couldn't ride a horse, hurriedly waved his hand in the carriage behind him and said, "It's okay, I can fight without equipment!"

At this time, Coren also came over on horseback: "Hey Tex, you kid, you only know yourself, didn't you give Jack a set of armor?"

"Jack, there should be a set under the seat of the carriage, the armor I wore when I used to fight, you try it, it should still fit you. I'll go to the front and have a look. So Coren patted his horse and walked away.

Jack was a little embarrassed, he was already in the carriage that Coren was supposed to sit in, and he was already very affordable. Now let's not talk about wearing the king's armor, even if it's ordinary armor, you can't wear it, how can you know what swordsmanship and spiritual arts, this armor should be worn by people who have the ability. However, on second thought, Coren himself didn't seem to care about these red tape or details, so he wore it!

He gritted his teeth, flipped through the saddle, and found the dazzling blue armor that had been sealed.

"It's beautiful! This armor is so precious!" said Jack.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Jack, who wore armor for the first time, finally put this well-fitting royal outfit on his body.

"Tex! look!" Jack couldn't help but call out to Tex, who was handsome.

When Turks came back from his horse, at first glance he thought it was his father, but upon closer inspection, he realized that it was Jack: "How do you pass on my father's robe!?

"Huh!?...... Your father made me wear ......," Jack panicked and tried to rip it off his body immediately.

"Hahaha! Look at you like that, scare you. Since your father asked you to wear it, it doesn't matter. Besides, with your stature, this armor is just right for you. Turks laughed.

The soldiers on the side couldn't help but nod when they saw Jack in dazzling blue armor.

And Jack himself looked very embarrassed: What are you doing, I, a powerless man, actually put on the robe of the king of a country, which is really a cat wearing a tiger's skin - borrowing prestige.

Because it was a horse march, the speed of the troops was very fast, and in only two days Cologne they were almost at the border between the Missus and the Holy Ape Country.

This group, heavily armed, rode majestically all the way south, vowing to bring back a "weapon" that could resist the surging Orc invaders in three months. Jack in the carriage didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
