Chapter 23: Rushing to the Battlefield (Part 1)

  After ending the battle with Helena, Napoleon continued their meeting from earlier, just as Wu Lin Feng had guessed, and they were going to go to war. The great war between the Holy Light Empire and the Thorn Flower Empire.

  "Now that Ryofu has become the guardian knight of Princess Charlotte, you will be going into battle together with Her Highness. The Crown Prince and his guardian knight have already departed for the battlefield, and the Grand Princess and her guardian knight are also on their way."

  "This is a battle, and also a fight to establish the crown prince. My Wolf Legion can give Princess Charlotte 10,000 men, and promote Ling Feng as the commander of these 10,000 people. Princess Charlotte has the right to supervise." Napoleon said.

  "May I ask? Why are there only 10,000 people? The Wolf Warrior Legion has tens of millions of people, and Princess Charlotte only has this many?" Wu Lingfeng asked in puzzlement.

  Napoleon patted Wu Lingfeng's shoulder and said, "Hmph, young man, it seems you don't understand the true meaning of being a Guardian Knight. You know, your merits are as great as the future status of Princess will be. I've already given you face by promoting you to lead the army of ten thousand men."

  After all, when you didn't show up earlier, Xianya was temporarily assigned as the guardian knight of the princess's manor. Her position is that of a general, one level higher than the commander-in-chief. She has an army of 50,000 men under her command, which means the princess's manor now has an army of 50,000 people.

  However, you appeared and became the guardian knight of the princess, but there were no troops under your command. In order not to let the princess be so embarrassed, promoting you as the leader of ten thousand people was equivalent to giving you an army for free."

  Wu Lingfeng suddenly understood, so the Guardian Knight was like this, if it wasn't for Napoleon giving himself 10,000 people, he could only bring Winnie and Princess Charlotte, Helena and a few others to the battlefield, after all, he was still a nobody, a powerful magician but without any followers.

  Xenia nodded and said, "Moreover, it's worth noting that the guardian knight of the Grand Prince is Eveletta*Reins, one of the four great rose knights of the empire who is on par with me. She has 50,000 troops under her command, as well as five Sky Dark Gold Knights and twenty mages. Her father is also the commander of the Lion King Legion."

  The Grand Princess is even more formidable, her guardian knight is a high-ranking magician from the Shuton family, the strongest magician family in the empire, with 50 magicians under his command, plus an army of 500,000 ordinary soldiers, it's said to be the strongest.

  Wu Lingfeng couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, saying: "It seems that Charlotte and I are the weakest team, is there even a need to compete? Isn't the outcome already decided?"

  Napoleon shook his head and said, "No, the empire is now facing a great war crisis. The seemingly powerful Holy Light Empire is in urgent need of selecting a crown prince due to the decline of the old king's lifespan. Whether or not to fight, the imperial capital has already become chaotic. The supporters of the Grand Prince and the Grand Princess have quarreled to the point of no return. It must be decided by military achievements who will inherit the throne."

  Wu Lingfeng nodded and said: "It seems that Princess Charlotte is still just a supporting character after all..."

  "It's not just that, Princess Charlotte will also have to worry about her life. In the battle, she'll not only have to be careful of the enemy's sneak attacks, but also of Prince and Princess Royal, who might secretly harm her. And I think in the end, it will be Princess Royal who emerges victorious. That princess is a master manipulator, after all - she even offered up her own body to win over the Shuton family! And that Montblanc guy is completely taken in by her charms. Hmph!" Sanya said coldly.

  Helena nodded and said, "Indeed, the Grand Prince is better off. He treats Princess Charlotte like a sister, but the Grand Duchess makes things difficult everywhere, and behind her back, she has gathered many of the empire's talented men, with whom she has very intimate relationships."

  Wu Lingfeng was sweating profusely, thinking that this princess was a ***, anyone could get on, with a hint of red lips and thousands of people tasting, really feeling sorry for that guy named Mong Erdan, who didn't even know he had been wearing countless green hats.

  "Bang bang......"

  Napoleon slapped the table and said, "Alright, enough idle talk. Tomorrow, Ling Feng Master, you will set out with Princess Charlotte. This map is for you. The red line represents the Crown Prince's attack route, the blue line represents the Grand Duchess's attack route, and the remaining yellow line represents your attack route."

  "This is the arrangement of His Majesty, where Princess Charlotte's enemies are weakest. In recent years, the Empire of Thorns has become increasingly powerful, and the Holy Light Empire has already lost nearly half of its territory to them. So, among you three, Prince, Grand Princess, and Little Princess, whoever recovers more territory will be the next king."

  Wu Lingfeng took the map from Napoleon's hand and said, "No way, there isn't a single magician under my command?"

  "No, but you can use your own abilities to win over other magicians. How much support you get depends on you..." Napoleon said expressionlessly.

  "Alright, let's get the ducks in a row. So, Your Highness, shall we set off tomorrow?" Wu Lingfeng could only acquiesce to the current situation. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have become a guardian knight. As soon as he crossed over, he was sent to the battlefield without knowing anything. I don't know any of my grandson's military tactics, and I haven't memorized all 36 strategies. I'm just a small white general.

  "Hmm, don't worry about it, at most I'll just lose a piece of land and my princess title will be abolished. Besides, I was never planning on competing for the throne anyway, my personality isn't suited for managing a country." Charlotte said with a smile to Wu Lingfeng.

  "I'll be your assistant, following the princess I've also learned a lot of tactics, I will do my best for Her Highness." Helena said, she was also worried about Wu Lingfeng, after all, whether he could lead an army of 10,000 people was still a question.

  Wu Lingfeng nodded and said: "Good, I won't be hypocritical either. Please be my military advisor."

  "Hmph, don't be so smug. I'm only doing this because of Princess Charlotte's face, otherwise...otherwise..." Helena said, turning her cheek to the side.

  "Uh-huh, uh-huh, I know, it's me asking you..."

  Wu Lingfeng nodded slightly, Helena was just a bit arrogant, much better than Xianya, not cute at all, expressionless, and a little bit sinister.

  "Alright, Princess. Winnie and I will head back first. Let's gather outside the army tomorrow. I'll also study the map carefully to see what our next move should be." Wu Lingfeng said.

  "Alright, then. Starting tomorrow, I'll be under Ling Feng's protection," Charlotte said.

  "That army of ten thousand men, I will let Sanya pick some elite soldiers for you tonight, and the grain and fodder will also be prepared in advance." Napoleon said.

  "It's better to die on the battlefield, I'd rather not duel you, but if Her Highness is harmed, you'll be torn apart and your soul will be cursed..." Xanthe said fiercely.

  Wu Lingfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes, great, this guy had acquired another attribute, poisonous tongue!
