The empire was huge, and the imperial capital was located in the middle of the Blue Moon Empire. If they used fast horses, it would take at least two months to as long as five months, and only two months when the army marched.
Therefore, although God Bless and the others were also riding horses, they were still much slower than the rapid march of the army.
Along the way, the further north they went, the more barren the land became. There were also more and more poor people here. God Bless and the others saw with their own eyes people who could not beg die one by one.
God Bless's heart had already turned cold. The Blue Moon Empire was the most powerful country in the continent and had a strong national strength. However, it was so barren in such a remote place. Compared to the luxury of the imperial capital, this place was not even worth mentioning!
God Bless's expression was bleak. Old Jack laughed strangely beside him."Although His Majesty the Emperor is muddle-headed, His Highness the Crown Prince is very shrewd. In terms of money, His Highness the Crown Prince did allocate it after an on-the-spot investigation!”
"Then why are there so many poor people here? And along the way, three to four out of ten people he saw were begging?”God Bless was puzzled and somewhat resentful.
Old Jack was also a little disinterested."It's all the fault of those officials. Although the money allocated is not small, how much of it can still fall into the pockets of the poor after it is distributed layer by layer from the capital to these places?”
God Bless's eyes flickered." I'm afraid that the Empire's title of the strongest country is too exaggerated in such an environment, right?”
" That's right. The Imperium has been paralyzed internally. That's why fresh blood is needed. Otherwise, the Imperium will collapse sooner or later when it is surrounded by strong enemies!”Old Jack spoke very calmly. When he spoke, he only looked at the expression of a wrinkled woman who repeatedly thanked God Bless after receiving a silver coin.
God Bless's expression became more and more complicated. Just now, he wanted to hand over a bag of gold coins, but the woman did not come. Instead, she asked him if he had any loose coins. She said that these gold coins were too expensive.
Of course, God Bless didn't understand what he meant and immediately asked for the reason.
The woman sobbed," Young Master doesn't understand this place. These places are too remote. A single gold coin can cause a fatal disaster. Those feudal lords 'private soldiers are too cruel. They come out every ten days to half a month to plunder. If they find so many gold coins in the homes of commoners, they will definitely kill us!”
God Bless was shocked. Was this the empire of today? Was he still the former strongest country? God Bless took a long time to find a silver coin, but the woman was already smiling.
"Principal, I'm afraid this is the fundamental purpose of your teachings, right?" God Bless said.”
"That's right. You have a kind heart, integrity, and righteousness, just like your father. Moreover, your talent is also very good. The empire today needs people like you!" Therefore, you must not disappoint me!”
God Bless suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier, but when he saw the happy smiles on the faces of the poor people who received the silver coins he sent, God Bless answered firmly,""Principal, don't worry! I will definitely work hard and not disappoint you!”
Old Jack smiled in relief. Beside God Bless, Hughes and Lawton only expressed their full support for God Bless.
After all, the two of them were not from the Blue Moon Empire. Although they were sympathetic to the situation, they would still support God Bless in the end!
This area belonged to Deer City. God Bless silently engraved Deer City in his heart, waiting for the day when he would come to save the poor here.
When they passed through Deer City, God Bless specially instructed his two brothers to exchange a lot of copper coins and silver coins in the city. Because there was still a long way to go, they might meet the poor on the way.
Although he could only help them for a while, God Bless did not regret it. He secretly swore that sooner or later, the border of the Empire would become rich!
After passing through Deer City and several other cities, God Bless finally saw a place far ahead. The soil there was obviously different from the one God Bless was currently standing on.
God Bless was stepping on the flaxen ground, but it was reddish-brown.
That was the border of the Red Land in the north of the Blue Moon Continent.
It was also the place where God Bless and the others were undergoing life-and-death training!
At the border with the Red Land, a tall city rose from the ground. This behemoth had been through many hardships and had resisted the attacks of the Orc Empire countless times.
This city was known as the second largest city in the Blue Moon Empire and was called the Iron Blood Battle Fortress!
The Iron-Blood Battlefortress had been established for almost 1,000 years. In the history, hundreds of battles had taken place here. Both the blood of the soldiers of the enemy country and the soldiers of the Norman Empire had been sprayed on the city wall. Therefore, the fame of the Iron-Blood Battlefortress had been witnessed by countless people through the generations.
The Iron-Blood Battle Fortress spread out on both sides, covering thousands of miles, almost completely protecting the northern part of Cangyue Empire.
God Bless was excited when he saw the Iron-Blood Battle Fortress. He knew that his father, the Guardian Sword Saint of the Empire, was guarding this place to resist the invasion of the Orc Empire!
God Bless looked extremely anxious. Just as he was about to charge into the city, he was stopped by two expressionless soldiers.
Only then did God Bless wake up from his excitement and look at Jack for help.
Old man Jack walked forward and chuckled. He said softly,"Have you heard of Jack Lyant, the principal of Imperial College?”
The soldier was expressionless as he shook his head. His eyes were filled with a fierce light as he guarded against Jack and the others.
Old Jack touched it and pulled God Bless over.""Are you from the Divine Army? Do you know him? He's the son of your Great General Shen! Hurry up and let us in!”
" Right now, our army is at war with the Orc Empire," the soldier said coldly." You can't leave the city. If you don't listen to my advice, you'll have to bear the consequences!"”
Old Jack clicked his tongue." Not bad. This kid, Shen Rang, is very strict in managing the army. The quality of these soldiers is really different from those in the Imperial Capital!"”
Suddenly, the spear-wielding soldier's aura changed, and his entire body emitted intense hostility. Moreover, the spear that was obviously stained with a lot of blood was already pointed at Jack. The spear-wielding soldier said in a dense voice,"Who exactly are you? How dare you be so disrespectful to the general?"
The other soldier did the same.
God Bless's eyes shone as he looked at the two soldiers. He looked at their black iron armor and their dark red spears. He revealed an envious look. Moreover, a sense of pride surged out of his heart. These were the soldiers that his father had brought up!
Old Jack was about to vomit blood. Golden Combat Energy surged out of his hand and pressed down on the two soldiers, rendering them unable to move. Then, old Jack's withered body rose up from the ground and only stopped moving after rising more than 100 feet in the air.
Then, Jack shouted," God, get out here! Come and see your soldiers! They don't even recognize your son!"”
"Haha!"
Not long after, a hearty laugh was heard. A burly figure covered in golden warrior power jumped down from the city wall.
"Father!"
Even if God Bless had lost his memory, he couldn't hear this person's voice. Hence, when God Rang landed, God Bless rushed up and hugged his thigh tightly.
The two soldiers looked at each other and suddenly put down their spears at the same time. They walked three feet behind God Bless and knelt on one knee."This subordinate didn't know that Young Master had come. I have offended you just now, please punish me!”
God Rang turned God Bless around and said,""Come on, son. They offended you first. You can punish them however you want!”
God Bless shook his head and tugged at God Rang's sleeve, pleading,""Father, can you spare them?”
"Why should we spare them?" Shen Rang asked with a smile.”
God Bless said," First of all, they have never seen me before, so of course they wouldn't know my identity. Secondly, even though Grandpa Principal had already revealed my identity, the two of them still followed the military rules! Just this last one alone meant that they should not be spared!”
"Then what should we do?" A smile appeared on Shen Ran's lips as he spoke.
The corners of God Bless's mouth curled up.”
"Then what do you think we should reward them with?"”
God Bless walked forward and lifted the two soldiers up. He asked,""May I know what your positions are now?”
The two soldiers 'foreheads were drenched in cold sweat as they said in unison,""Young Master, please don't address this subordinate like that. In reply to Young Master, this subordinate is still an ordinary spear soldier in the Spear Battalion!”
"Oh." God Bless nodded and turned around." Father." In my opinion, how about we promote them to the squad leaders of the Spear Battalion this time?”
" Alright." Shen Rang nodded and said in a deep voice," The two of you can report to the military rank officer now and receive the rank of squad leader!"”
The two squad leaders were overjoyed. After thanking the gods and blessings, they went to the military officer's office happily.
Then, Shen Rang told Teacher Lei Meng to take the token and go first. Shen Rang and Jack were left behind.
"Headmaster, may I know why you're here?" God Rang asked. I'm afraid you're not here to help me, right?"
Old Jack blew his beard and rolled his eyes."Who says I'm not here to help you? Listen up, I'm here to give these three children a life-and-death training. As long as they can survive a few months under the Orc Empire's soldiers, it will end!”
Shen Rang listened with a smile but didn't reply. He knew that there was more to it.
"These three are all rare seedlings. Of course, your son's talent is a must, you know?" Old Jack continued. These three children were all examples of Instructor Lei Meng's successful teaching!”
"Is it that 'cultivating battle energy while exercising' thing?" En, if he could succeed, he would indeed have a lot of advantages in a battle!”
"What do you mean by taking advantage?" " Hmph!" Old Jack snorted." If it's matched with your son's Rising Dragon Battle Energy, then it would be much cheaper, right?”
"Alright, Mr. Principal, what do you want me to do?”Shen Rang spread his hands.
Old Jack said," Guardian Sword Saints are indeed Guardian Sword Saints. They are indeed smart. Actually, you only need to lead a few of the remaining soldiers to a remote place. These three children have not fought to the death yet, so they won't be able to deal with many people at once!”
God Rang pursed his lips and instructed," Give God Bless more pressure. He has the Rising Dragon Warrior Power, so he is blessed more than the others. We must make him feel the pressure, or it will be difficult for him to grow. Now that the battle between the upper echelons of the empire is getting deeper, I can't handle it alone!”
Old Jack sighed and agreed,"Don't worry. God Bless is not only your hope, but also my hope. Moreover, once God Bless grows up, his achievements will probably be higher than yours!”
"Oh?" Shen Rang's curiosity was piqued." Tell me!”
" He already has three loyal brothers in Imperial College," Jack said." The two kids just now are two of them. The one who can't come is the young master of the Holy Moon Chamber of Commerce!”
"What about these two?"
"That short, dark one is the prince of the Dwarf Kingdom, and I can't say for the time being what the tall child's background is.”
Shen Rang was surprised and did not say anything for a long time. Finally, when they entered the city gate, he said,"Forget it. God Bless's fate is like this. He will definitely be more stable than me! This also made me feel a lot more relaxed.”
"Hehe, don't worry. With me, Old Jack, around, God Bless will definitely grow healthily!"”
