"Your Majesty, I'm going!"
MacDonald bid farewell to his lord, Bartley Griffin.
Emperor Batley patted the old marshal on the shoulder, and said with great relief: "The northern frontier of the empire depends entirely on you, MacDonald!"
Macdonald nodded.
They were currently in the same location as the northern suburbs of the capital of Gabela. On the main road, a total of 30,000 soldiers had already lined up. Among them were infantry, cavalry, archers, and various auxiliary military personnel.
The soldiers lined up in a long line, connecting head to tail in turn, occupying the road leading to the north from the imperial capital to a full capacity.
At the tail of this team, there are still a large number of cattle, horses and vehicles, which are full of food, ordnance and other materials.
Those who came to see off the old marshal and his team included, besides the emperor Bartley, other ministers and important members of the royal family, the prime minister, Duke Dias, the eldest prince Felix, the second prince Antonio, and Aldrich from the Scholar's Tower. The bachelor and the bachelor of Yarvi are in the procession to send off.
After talking to the emperor for a while, Macdonald saluted him respectfully and mounted his horse.
After sitting down immediately, he looked at the two princes. Felix had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, while Antonio had a serious expression on his face.
Felix must be very happy now. Can he not be happy that Antonio's greatest reliance in his mind is gone?
"Set off!"
With a flick of his whip, Macdonald ordered the troops to march.
Following his order, the originally quiet army quickly moved, swimming towards the north like a long snake.
"My dear brother."
Felix looked at Antonio and said.
"You have to be prepared, maybe our father will send you to the front line one day."
Antonio did not look at him, but replied: "Of course, I am always ready to share my father's worries."
"Oh, all right."
Emperor Battery waved his hand: "Let's go back. Macdonald will definitely come back with a truckload of orc heads as gifts for us."
He led the royal family members and ministers back to the imperial capital.
--------------------------------------
As soon as Felix returned to the city, he consulted with his grandfather, Duke Dias.
"A great opportunity has come, a great chance has come, dear grandpa."
He excitedly walked up and down the floor of the house, "Now Antonio is like a tiger that has lost its teeth and claws, and can be slaughtered by us."
"Be patient!" Duke Dias looked at Felix's current state and shouted somewhat harshly.
"McDonald hasn't gone far yet, we have to wait for him to go far before we can do anything."
"Damn it, when will it be?" Felix was impatient.
"It will take at least seven days." Duke Dias returned to his usual expression, looking a little calm.
"During these seven days, we must gather all our strengths and clench them into fists so that we will be more powerful."
"But in case there is any accident..." Felix wanted to argue,
"Your Highness!"
Ms. Coleridge, who came with Felix, gave a reminder.
"We should trust His Excellency the Duke's judgment."
"Okay, I'll wait!" Felix gritted his teeth hard.
Duke Dias glanced at Ms. Coleridge in surprise. This is a beautiful lady with silver hair. Every man will have wild fantasies when he looks at her.
But the duke knew that it was a beautiful flower with deadly poisonous thorns. Coleridge was a female killer recruited by the Dias family. She had incredible abilities and was a rare sharp blade.
After passing the loyalty test, Coleridge was sent by the Duke of Dias to his grandson's side and became a court lady, firstly to protect Felix, and secondly to play a monitoring role.
But today the Duke discovered that his impatient grandson Felix was persuaded by this woman with just one word.
The attitude of Felix towards Coleridge that he saw on weekdays slowly emerged in the Duke's mind.
He suddenly had a guess—could it be that Felix fell in love with this female killer.
This is a dangerous signal, the duke thought in his heart, "The throne of the queen of the Gabela Empire in the future cannot be made by a female killer. The queen should have a more noble blood to help the emperor stabilize the rule of the empire."
But the way Felix looked at her—the more Duke Dias observed her more carefully, the more he felt that his guess was correct—clearly invested a lot of emotion.
It seems that I have to find time to persuade my grandson, how can the ruler of a country let a woman fill his heart.
Don't be like his father, who even fell in love with an evil witch.
--------------------------------------
After coming out of the mansion of Duke Dias, Felix returned to his residence in the carriage.
Ms. Coleridge was in the same carriage with him.
Felix was still agitated at this moment. A scene of himself wearing a crown and accepting congratulations from everyone appeared in his mind for a while, and a scene of himself being surrounded by a group of soldiers and finally outnumbered and killed appeared in his mind.
Your own fate will be decided within this month.
If he wins, he will be the supreme Emperor Gabela. If he fails, he will lose everything, even his life.
Nervous and excited, he stretched out his hand involuntarily, wanting to grab the jade-like wrist of the lady opposite, but Ms. Coleridge avoided it gracefully.
"Your Highness, now is not the time."
"Haha, sorry, Coleridge."
Felix had a huge smile on his face. He had been fascinated by this beautiful lady for a long time.
"I swear, Coleridge, after I wear the crown, I will definitely make you the queen of the empire, and let you share my power and glory with meBecause of the upcoming event, he He spoke out the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
Ms. Coleridge smiled coquettishly, and Felix was fascinated.
The lady said in a low voice: "Your Highness really likes to joke. When you really ascend to the throne, I just want to be by your side every day like now, and I will be very satisfied."
"Oh! Coleridge, your character is as noble as the moon in the sky."
Felix praised, "I have become more and more determined in my inner thoughts, yes, only you are worthy of that position."
Coleridge just smiled lightly.
"Your Highness, you should concentrate on doing the things right now. Only when you succeed can you be qualified to plan for the future."
"Oh, Coleridge, there's always something in what you say."
Prince Felix said sincerely.
