I pushed my head harder, my heels touched again, and my boots snapped. It's very personable, and it's the result of the special training that Fichette gave me yesterday.

We turned around, and the High Priest had already walked up with a smile.

"Two noble knights, this is truly a cause for celebration," the High Priest gestured with a gesture of blessing before our eyes, "and the God of Light will always be on your side." ”

"Thank you, Lord Priestess, you don't have to be too polite," Fischette said with a smile, "We are both young and need your guidance on many things. ”

"yes, yes......"

I'm playing haha, try to make myself more humble, it's better not to offend those who can not be offended.

"Hehe, congratulations to both of you," followed by Zuo Xiang, the smile on his face as if it had been coated with honey, "It is really not easy for His Highness Fichette and Governor Cohen to win such an honor for the Empire......"

"Thank you, Lord Zuo Xiang!" I smiled and shook his hand, "Thank you for your previous teachings!hahahaha......"

After the tedious reception ceremony, His Majesty took me and Fischette, as well as a few core ministers below the left minister, to the small meeting room at the back of the main hall and said that there was something important to discuss with us.

After the door of the council hall closed, His Majesty took out a scroll with a solemn expression.

"The two Blessed Knights have returned, and the important ministers of the Empire are also in this room," His Majesty Kremer slowly opened the scroll, "Now, I read out the war mobilization order issued by the Light Protoss and the Temple. ”

We stand up straight and salute with one voice, "Praise be to the merciful God!"

"To, the Emperor of the Bright God Alliance and his subordinate officials, the Grand Priest of the Temple and his subordinate sacrifices. His Majesty held the scroll in his hand and said. "By order of the Light Protoss. The Temple of Paradise Island issued a war mobilization order in the name of the Light Protoss. ”

"After twenty years of recovery, the evil demon clan is plotting to attack the Light God Alliance, in order to protect the common interests of the empires, in order to protect the common beliefs of the empires, in order to ......" I have only heard a little bit, and I have begun to get dizzy," ...... It is now decided that the empires will form an alliance to jointly crusade against the demons!"

“...... Ordered the Spian Empire to send 30,000 cavalry. and is responsible for one-third of the daily consumption of the Divine Alliance......"

Responsible for one-third of the supplies, this is the main task of the Sibia Empire during every war of gods and demons. In contrast, sending 30,000 cavalry has only a little symbolic significance, and in fact these 30,000 cavalry are not even used on the battlefield.

“...... Ordered His Highness to send an official, Lu Man, the left minister of the Sbia Empire, to serve as the chief quartermaster of the Divine Alliance. Ordered the Blessed Knight, Prince of the Spya Empire, Fischat Shamai to serve as the Dispatcher of the Divine Alliance's Sbia Territory. Ordered the Blessed Knight, Governor of the Dark Province of the Spya Empire, Cohen Al Cada to be the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Divine Alliance. Command ......"

Like the last Great War of Gods and Demons, Zuo Xiang is in charge of the logistics of the coalition forces. Fischert's position is better. Responsible for dispatching all the supplies that pass through our country, without even leaving the Holy Capital.

Compared to them. I'm going to die, the Ninth Legion is the Slave Legion! It's the Legion that rushes first every time you fight, and mixes with the Demon Slave Army to target the catapults on both sides, and it's the Legion that is marked as a "war expendable" on the roster of the Divine Alliance.

"This time, the coalition has a strong lineup, with a total of more than 700,000 soldiers...... In addition, all officials and priests who have been ordered to take up positions in the coalition forces must be ready to report to the coalition forces before February next year without delay!"

"The mobilization order is read!" Majesty Kremer let out a sigh and put down the scroll.

"Praise be to the merciful God!" everyone bowed their heads and folded their hands in prayer.

"As you should know, that's all there is to it. It's best to act quickly and prepare the supplies and funds for the coalition forces to call at any time," Kremer looked at the people around him, "Whoever is on a business trip cuò I want someone's head, scatter!"

Fischette was left in the room to speak, and I dangled by the door with my helmet in my arms.

"Governor Cohen...... No, it should be the Blessed Knight," Zuo Xiang leaned over to me, "Can I have a few words with you?"

"Of course, you're Lord Zuo," I nodded indifferently, "and you'd better call me Cohen." ”

Zuo Xiang smiled and moved closer, as if there was never a bit of mustard between the two of us.

"I have to admit that I don't have a good relationship with Master Cohen, but there are many reasons for that," he shook his head slightly, "and it can be said that we are all involuntarily forced to do this...... I wondered, is there any way to get us back together?"

"Do you have any great ideas? ”

"You know, you were supposed to be my son-in-law," said Zuo Xiang, "and it was very sad for me that your marriage to my daughter was dissolved after that sad incident." ”

"Really?" I seemed to be listening to someone else's story, "I'm sorry. ”

"A person as mature and noble as you are now should understand how politics is going on, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. Zuo Xiang looked at me, "If you want, we can try to become friends, at least during the war between gods and demons." ”

"Be friends?" I thought of something, "that has to be sincere, what do you think I, the unfortunate man in charge of the slave army, can come up with?"

"Just don't give me a problem, you know, I'm not very good as a quartermaster. If we have contradictions in the coalition forces...... That's very inappropriate. Zuo Xiang smiled and said, "In order to show my sincerity, from now on, I will stop anything that may lead to a further deterioration of our relationship." ”

"Of course that's good," I said, "do you have any other advice for me?"

"There will be a series of personnel changes in the Empire, and if it involves our friends, I would like to communicate with you first. "Besides, I hope you can tell your father what I mean." ”

"No problem, I guess you can contact my father directly," I nodded, "is that all?"

"That's basically it. Zuo Xiang said. "The most important thing now is to survive the war of gods and demons. No matter how the battle goes. As soon as the war between gods and demons is over, we will have twenty years of good life...... See you soon!"

"Yes!"

I watched Zuo Xiang leave, turned around and knocked on the door and walked into the council hall, telling Zuo Xiang's words.

After listening to my words, His Majesty let out a long breath, but his brows furrowed again.

"Cohen, you just don't say anything to Zuo Xiang today, and do your thing with peace of mind. His Majesty patted me on the shoulder, "Be more careful with him." ”

"You mean...... Is this lowering my vigilance?"

"Zuo Xiang has worked with me for so long. I don't know what he wants to do?" he smiled, "He's using you to convey a message of reconciliation to me. ”

"What about these words...... Is it credible?" Fichette asked.

"Half against half," said His Majesty, "with the departure of the Left Minister, the factional strife in the country will cease for the time being, and the battlefield between us will be transferred to the coalition forces." Cohen, you have to prepare early, and the left minister will definitely deal with you first in the coalition army. ”

"I'm not afraid of this," I said, "I'm prepared, whether it's for him to kill or to kill with a knife." ”

"You have to be well prepared. His Majesty said, "Actually, when you went to Heaven Island to meet the Light Protoss. We fought with Zuo on the manpower arrangement. ”

"The result?"

"Except for you, everyone else has made concessions on the left side of the appointment. ”

"Really?"

"Yes, I didn't know at the time that the two of you would be awarded the title of Blessed Knight, and the left minister took great pains to push other positions to other countries. Among the duties left to our country, there are only two positions suitable for you to fill the positions of commander and dispatch officer of the Ninth Army. After consulting with your father, we have decided that Fichette will be the dispatcher, and we hope you understand our intentions. ”

"That's how it should be," I said, "and now I don't have to worry about Fischet's safety!"

"It's good that you understand," said His Majesty with a smile, "It's an arrangement based on your strengths, and your status is secondary." ”

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry," I said, "I'm really glad Fischette can stay in the Empire!"

"Hehe, do you know that the scale of this war is far greater than the last one," said His Majesty, "and the slave army under your command is no longer 20,000 men, but a large army of 70,000 men. This was something that Zuo Yu never dreamed of, and when the order of the God of Light to expand the Ninth Army was issued, Zuo Xiang was stunned. ”

"Why are there so many people?" I was shocked, "I don't have so many officers, I've only trained about three hundred." ”

"Originally, the coalition army had prepared four slave legions, adding up to 80,000 men," His Majesty explained to me, "but it is somewhat unreasonable to command a small army of 20,000 men as a blessed knight. So the coalition put together two slave legions, and some slaves were temporarily conscripted, and your legion became what it is now. ”

"That's right!" said Fischette, "but in such a short period of time, those thirty thousand men may not have been drafted, right?"

"That's right, these slaves were temporarily captured from the dividing line between gods and demons!" His Majesty's expression became stern, "Cohen, you must pay attention, the soldier structure of this legion has become very complicated. ”

"I know, Grandpa Martin told me," I said, nodding, "that the slave soldiers in the Slave Legion have survived all the wars, and they are all old ruffians who are not easy to manage. ”

"Now with these untrained recruits, you're going to be in a much more difficult situation," His Majesty said, "and they've always lived on the dividing line between the two alliances, of all races." Surviving in the cracks for a long time has made them a group with a rather weak concept of gods and demons, and it is impossible to use the power of faith to rule them. Suffice it to say, if you don't handle it well, they pose you no less danger in the coalition than the left side. ”

"Well, I'll figure it out," I said, "as long as it's a problem, there's always a way to solve it!"

"Fischette has already sued me about your training of officers, and basically your train of thought is correct. His Majesty nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about what the officers lack, I've prepared it for you." ”

"Yes, I knew His Majesty wouldn't leave me alone!" I chuckled, "How much for me?"

"You're a blessed knight now, don't laugh like that!" His Majesty knocked me on the head, "Not much, just a hundred." Definitely to your taste. ”

"To my liking......" I winked. "What does that mean?"

陛xià said to me. "They're all officers who have been sent to the frontier because of their mistakes, how about I'll give them all to you. ”

"No!" I was stupid, "it's not just the soldiers who are complicated now, it's the officers too!"

"But what...... These officers are your father's men," said His Majesty, "and if you are not satisfied, let them continue to plant fruit trees." ”

"Fruit tree planters?" I said busily, "I want it all!"

When we heard that they were from fruit trees, Fischette and I both laughed.

"From now until the war of gods and demons. During this time, the situation will be relatively calm," His Majesty opened the door for us with his own hands, "Wei Su will tell you what to do, you can do the things he explains well, and leave the other problems to us." ”

"Yes!"

"Go back to the darkness first, and take care of the affairs of your own province, especially the defense of the darkness. His Majesty whispered, "There is a sum of money that has been transferred to Wei Su, and you can use it to expand your army." ”

"Yes!"

"Go, my children. His Majesty touched our heads, "It's an eagle - it should fly!" The streets of the Holy Capital are still so lively. The bustling crowd is either happy or busy, and they are all running for a living. If it weren't for the noble costumes of me and Fischette and the guards around us, no one would have paid attention to us.

In the entire empire, except for us noble officials, no one else seems to show even the slightest concern about the upcoming war between gods and demons, maybe ordinary people will think that this is just a matter of gods and demons and nobles!

To be honest, I'm surprised by the fact that as long as it's a war, it's inevitable that everyone will be dragged into it. Whether you want to or not, no one can escape this huge maelstrom.

By the time we got back to our station outside the city, there were already a lot of people waiting for us.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty the Governor!" an officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel quickly ran up to our horse and saluted us: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Officer Carlos, and I am ordered to report to Governor Cohen with one hundred and twenty-five officers!"

After speaking, he handed us a report document. He had a square face, and he was older than us, probably close to thirty years old. Fortunately, there should be no generation gap between this age and us.

"Got it. I took the official document signed by His Majesty and my father, and saluted and said, "Your movements are really fast, and His Highness Fischette and I have just learned that you will come." ”

"Report to the sir! We received the order in the Darkmoon Province ten days ago. Carlos said: "Time is pressing, and the lower officials dare not delay, but fortunately, there are no accidents along the way." ”

"It only took you ten days to get from the Darkmoon Province to the Holy Capital?" Fichette was a little surprised, "If I'm not mistaken, this journey will take at least fifteen days. ”

Hearing Fischette ask, Carlos smiled embarrassedly: "Back to His Highness and the Governor, we are all junior officers, nothing else, it is our duty to endure some hardships." ”

"Don't say that, duty and hardship are not necessarily related. Fichette glanced at me: "I'm glad you're here, you go and rest first, we'll get ready to go." ”

"Yes, sir!" said Carlos, bowing again.

Watching the more than 100 officers dismount and enter the tent in an orderly manner under Carlos's command, I said to Fichette beside me: "The officers who have come this time are not bad! ”

"Of course, the people cultivated by the two fathers can't be wrong. Fichette smiled and said, "Speaking of our new officers...... By the way, I don't even seem to be wearing a rank badge yet!"

"Yes!" I remembered that the officers of the Guards Regiment had not yet worn the flowers, and even the military uniforms they were wearing were in tatters during training: "If you don't mention this, I forgot about it!"

"Hurry up and prepare! We're running out of time. Fichette dismounted and walked towards the tent.

"Hellt!Jack!" I said to the two brothers behind me, "Take my warrant and go to the military headquarters at once to get the standard equipment of five hundred officers, hurry up!"

"Yes!" Helt and Jack saluted me and left. These days, the brothers have known when to call me Chief, and under what circumstances to call me Boss, and they are no longer the rookies who didn't know what to do in the past.

Watching the two brothers gallop towards the city with the people, I also dismounted and entered the tent.

About two hours later, they came back with the equipment they had received, and they said that it was very smooth when they received the equipment, and the people on the left were not embarrassed.

"That's right, Boss. Jack leaned over to me: "We had a strange thing on the way back. ”

"What's the matter?" Fischette asked, putting down the text in his hand and looking up.

"Well, we passed by a large house after a fire and saw a lot of people talking about it," said Hailter. ”

"What's so strange about that?" I said, "it's on fire! ”

"Boss, do you know whose mansion it is?" said Heilt, "and you'd be glad if you knew." ”

"Who's?"

Jack grinned and said, "The ...... who expelled you from the royal school"

"President of the Royal Academy?" Fichette asked.

"It's that old bastard!" I was so happy, "Did he burn his beard?"

"It's his house, but we've heard it," said Jack, "and when his house was on fire the night before, for some reason the firefighters were late, and no one escaped from their house, not even a single servant. ”

"Dead?" Fischette was taken aback: "It's a pity!"

Although I have never had a good relationship with this dean, I also have a little regret when I hear the news, after all, he is a learned old fellow.

"This is not right!" I looked at Fischette and said, "Even if there is a fire, it is impossible for no one to escape, can it be said that it is the left ......" (to be continued......
