The sunset dyed the entire sky red, and the twin moons quietly rose into the sky.
In the evening, the large army set up camp beside the creek.
The sergeants on duty set up a site, guarded the surrounding areas, and arranged defensive formations.
The resting soldiers gathered together in small groups to eat and chat, without any sense of urgency before the battle.
Due to his special status, Xu Fei occupied a small tent alone and was deep in thought.
I picked up a lot of information by eavesdropping on people's conversations along the way.
This army belongs to the August Empire and is one of the strongest armies in the mainland with the designation of "Silver Wings".
Xu Fei didn't know about Augustus' Empire and Silver Wing Legion, but he had an impression of Augustus' Kingdom.
Once in the Nimbuende Sanctuary, Sirela pressed her head and recited various books on humanities, geography and history...
Therefore, we know that it is an unknown small country located on the southeastern border of the Leitings continent and attached to the Holy Kingdom of Fallas.
How could a small subsidiary country have the strongest army in the continent?
Moreover, the equipment of this legion is very retro, and the unicorn warhorse is the main riding mount of the soldiers.
There were no earth dragon chariots, there were very few magical vehicles, and there was not a single airship.
It seems that the background of the times here must be in the long past...
The role played by Xu Fei currently seems to have a high status.
Others behaved submissively in front of him, not daring to show any disrespect.
Being prominent is indeed a good thing, but its drawbacks are also obvious.
That is, no one dares to come up and talk to him at will.
Of course, Xu Fei also didn't dare to talk to others.
Because he doesn’t even know the name of the character he is playing at the moment, he will probably betray him within a few words.
Lying about amnesia or something like that will not be convincing at that time.
Fortunately, the strong man who called him "little brother" was busy with military affairs, so he laughed at Xu Fei and ran away.
Otherwise, it will be a matter of time before someone suspects you.
"Your Highness, dinner is ready."
A young female voice came from outside the camp, sounding a little nervous.
Xu Fei glanced sideways at the door. This was the third time today that he was called 'Your Highness'.
If Augustus is really a behemoth at the imperial level in this era, wouldn't he be playing the role of a prince?
After thinking for a moment, Xu Fei shouted: "Come in."
After hearing the reply, a female knight walked in cautiously carrying a lunch box.
"Give me."
Reaching out to take the food, Xu Fei pretended to be polite and ate it.
If the female knight hadn't stopped beside him, he would have been devouring it now.
Because even if the food here is unpalatable, it is still much better than the demon wolf meat.
The long years in the Xinhuo World have completely changed Xu Fei's taste buds.
Now I finally understand why the people of Readings are indifferent to such unpalatable ingredients.
If there is no comparison, there will be no gap. As long as you have eaten something more delicious, you will naturally find it delicious.
Human beings are indeed extremely adaptable creatures.
After finishing the meal, he handed the tableware back expressionlessly.
Just as the female knight turned around and left with a slight disappointment, Xu Fei suddenly stopped her.
"Wait, come and talk to me."
The female knight paused when she heard this, her complex mood filled with fear, uneasiness, excitement, nervousness and other complex emotions.
She trotted back, put down the tableware obediently, and sat down.
Then he took off his helmet, revealing his carefully combed long blond hair and slightly stiff, delicate makeup.
Normally, makeup is not allowed during the march, which is a clear violation of military discipline.
The female knight did this on purpose.
"Your Highness, it is Nataya's honor to be able to talk to you."
As the second daughter of a declining Viscount family, the female knight has the obligation to always consider the interests of the family.
Finally it was his turn to serve the seventeenth prince, so he did this.
If you can win the favor of the other party, you might be able to seize some opportunities.
As long as the family's glory can be restored, it doesn't matter even if she ends up being a mistress.
Seemingly not noticing the female knight's little thoughts at all, Xu Fei asked lightly: "Nataya, tell me what major historical events have happened on the mainland in the past hundred years?"
"Nearly a hundred years old?"
The female knight opened her lips slightly and looked a little surprised. Is Your Highness testing my knowledge?
"Yes, you heard that right."
"I hate being served by ignorant people. If you don't even know this level of common sense, please don't appear in front of me in the future."
"Now, answer or get out."
Xu Fei waved his hand towards the door, looking impatient.
Although there was an element of acting, he was really in a bad mood at the moment.
I came here out of nowhere and was assumed to be a 'His Royal Highness'.
However, it is difficult to maintain a persona without knowing anything about one's own situation.
Direct questioning can easily arouse suspicion, so we have to indirectly collect scattered information and then make integrated inferences.
The female knight's shoulders trembled a few times, and she was a little confused by the sudden situation.
I heard that the normally taciturn seventeenth prince loves reading and has become addicted to historical documents in the past two years.
If you answer poorly, you will definitely be disliked, but if you answer well, maybe...
Thinking of this, the female knight's heart was beating fast and she was even a little excited.
As the second daughter of a noble family, history, humanities, etiquette, and combat are all compulsory courses.
She quickly organized her thoughts and began to answer seriously.
"In the spring of 10529 in the continental calendar, in the northwest mountain range of the Restin continent, Widefnir, who claimed to be the 'God's Envoy Kingdom', issued an oracle to the entire world of Dirnano, warning of the occurrence of a catastrophe a hundred years later..."
"In 10537, the Holy Kingdom of Fallas sent troops to attack Widfenir on the grounds that he had blasphemed the Supreme God..."
…
…
"In the autumn of 10638, that is, nine years ago. Just as the oracle conveyed by Widefnir, a huge disaster occurred on Targarus Island."
"In just the past three days, catastrophe has crossed the ocean, causing the fall of Myceras, a port city in the southern part of the mainland, and Tashara, a major transportation town."
"In the following three years, the entire Methra Empire was destroyed and turned into a desolate and strange kingdom of death."
After twenty minutes of textbook-style recitation, the female knight finally talked about the time point in the past ten years.
Xu Fei touched his chin and tried to keep his facial expression calm.
In the year 10638 of the continental calendar, nine years ago near Tashala was the place where he had a fierce battle with the three-eyed monster.
Seeing that His Royal Highness was silent, the female knight thought that what she said was too dry and boring, so she quickly added:
"Last year, our country and Farias jointly launched a continent-wide mobilization, uniting 27 countries to form a coalition to attack the Devil's Land."
"Nataya is extremely honored to follow the five His Royal Highnesses on the expedition and become the vanguard to eliminate the disaster. His Royal Highness Prince Xu Fei, I firmly believe that after this battle, your achievements and reputation will be written into the annals of history for future generations to admire."
Ignoring Nataya's compliments, Xu Fei frowned to himself.
I really can't understand why the female knight would call him his Earth Star name.
Xu Fei...repay His Majesty the Prince? It's indescribably awkward.
Aren't you surprised that your emperor's surname is not Xu?
Thinking about it carefully, maybe I am too cautious...
In fact, there is no need to think about the issue of changing identities. Goddess Ishtar should have arranged everything long ago.
"How are your brothers doing in the military? What do the soldiers say in private?"
No longer thinking about nonsensical things, Xu Fei focused on the 'five highnesses'. At least he had to know the names and characters of these 'relatives' to avoid being involved in incidents other than the trial.
Commenting on such a sensitive topic as members of the royal family gave the female knight Nataya some hesitation.
However, due to Xu Fei's identity, she had to answer in a slightly vague manner.
Half an hour later, Natalya walked out of the camp, leaving only Xu Fei mumbling to himself.
"The eldest brother Varga, the third sister Blim, the fifth brother Bestav, the sixth sister Ashamel, plus me..."
"The August Empire sent five members of the royal family, 20,000 Guards and 80,000 Silver Wings at once."
"With all the elites out, it's not just about destroying the demons, right? It seems that expanding the country is the real purpose."
"Tsk."
Xu Fei clicked his tongue. In the era when the Great Catastrophe had just begun, people didn't know much about demons.
It is inevitable to be careless and underestimate the enemy.
From this, it is easy to deduce what will happen next.
The second trial will not place him here for no reason, this legion will definitely suffer heavy losses.
