Chapter 24: Rushing to the Battlefield (Part 2)

  After returning to the tent with the map, Wu Lingfeng did not go to sleep immediately, but instead lit an oil lamp and looked at the map. Although it's said that one should sharpen their sword on the eve of battle, knowing a bit is always good.

  Accidentally traversing to a different realm, unexpectedly possessing a system, and again unexpectedly becoming the guardian knight of some princess. Suddenly having to command an army of 10,000 people, Wu Lingfeng, who was given this mission, has already begun to change himself.

  He is no longer the carefree, idle high school student, but a magician with great expectations, an imperial baron, and the guardian knight of Princess Charlotte. These halos may not be very clear to Wu Lingfeng yet, but he must now bear the responsibilities under these halos.

  Looking at the map, Wu Lingfeng didn't understand what the words in the foreign language meant, but he still clearly understood the general markings of rivers, mountains and forests. Although it was a different world, the style of the map had similarities with those on Earth.

  The yellow line is the route that needs to be advanced first, with a total of three cities. Although I don't know what their names are, the first city has several rivers surrounding it, which will definitely hinder us and cause the enemy to set up defenses here, making the river a natural defensive line.

  Wu Lingfeng thought of methods like the water attack in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but how to implement them was a problem. Everyone knew they had to break the city, but specifically how?

  There is another thing to consider, Wu Lingfeng, who has read the Three Kingdoms, knows that grain and grass come first, and logistics supply is a big problem. For the first city, located in the plain area, the supply line is not a problem, but we need to consider what if the supplies are not delivered on time?

  As a general, Wu Lingfeng is not very competent, but he has three absolutes: first, if he can survive, he will absolutely not die; second, if he can eat his fill, he will absolutely not go hungry; third, if something cannot be done, he will absolutely not do it.

  So these three absolutes turned around are: one, absolutely must live; two, absolutely must eat well; and three, things that can be done absolutely must be done.

  This is Wu Lingfeng's life philosophy, whether winning or losing, as long as he does everything he can do, that is victory. In order to defeat Helena, he can fight continuously for several days without stopping in the forest with magical beasts. In the end, he won and grew up, upgraded to level 5, and also got the Peach Wood Magic Wand. This is success. Things that can be done must be done.

  Winnie looked at Wu Lingfeng's serious expression, feeling warm in her heart. She knelt on his body, placing her small hands on his shoulders and gently massaging him. To be honest, she had a lot of admiration for Wu Lingfeng. Normally, he could chat and laugh with you, but when it came down to it, he was a real man. His serious face made it impossible to look away.

  Wu Lingfeng felt the tenderness on his shoulder, a slight warmth in his heart, hehe, although afraid of trouble, but already in the midst of it, then must strive to struggle, for himself and for others, or say for guarding Wen Ni's smile.

  Wu Lingfeng didn't fall asleep until midnight, and Wen Ni covered him with a quilt.

  "Ling Feng Fashi, where are you?"

  At this time, a crisp sound came from outside the tent.

  Winnie covered Wulingfeng with a quilt and hastily walked out, seeing Helena and said in a low voice: "She just fell asleep, studying the map for half a night, Miss Helena, is there anything?"

  Helena handed a set of pale blue robes to Winnie, saying: "This was sent by the princess, as an adult leader, you must have some appearance, the linen garment on Lin Feng's body is too shabby, it should be changed. However, what surprised me is that he is actually studying maps, it seems that he has a somewhat reliable appearance."

  Winnie took over the law god, nodded and said: "Although some words should not be said by me, but Onii-chan is really a very responsible person, seriously studying the map, I believe he will definitely protect the princess."

  "O-nii-chan?" Helena said in puzzlement.

  Winnie's face turned slightly red as she said, "This is what he told me to call him, saying it was a more intimate term."

  Helena pouted, sighed and said: "Actually, even if Lingfeng Fashi really tried his best, it wouldn't be of much use. After all, the Grand Princess is too overbearing, His Majesty the King is almost at his wit's end. I've already prepared for the worst outcome, to take the Princess with me and escape to the chaotic Southern Kingdom."

  "It's alright, Onii-chan is really strong and always keeps his promises. No matter what happens, he'll protect the princess." Winnie reassured.

  "Alright, I'll have to trust you for now. You should get some rest too, we're leaving early tomorrow morning," Helena said.

  "Alright, take care...". Winnie nodded and watched Helena walk away before entering the tent.

  ……

  The next day, Wu Lingfeng changed into the Taoist robe that Helena had sent over yesterday. It was indeed much better than his original linen clothes. The peach wood staff floated behind him, making him look like a truly powerful young magician.

  Apart from the military achievements, outside there were dense rows of soldiers standing in front of him. At the very front were the fully armed black armored knights, behind them were the archers, and finally at the back were the infantrymen holding long swords and shields.

  Princess Charlotte sat in a carriage with pink decorations, a Gothic-style carriage pulled by two white horses with black horns, much larger and more majestic than ordinary horses. The name displayed on Wu Lingfeng's right eye was "Unicorn", a 10th-level ordinary magical beast. It seems that magical beasts can also be domesticated.

  At this time, Helena was leading a unicorn horse of the same kind, walking to Wu Lingfeng's face, handing over the reins in her hand and saying: "This is your mount, according to the saddle and stirrup you told me, I had someone rush out a set overnight."

  Wu Lingfeng nodded, looking at the well-fitted saddle and stirrups, so he wouldn't fall off the horse.

  Riding on the unicorn, it seemed that the unicorn, as a magical creature, could sense the fluctuations of magic power on Wu Lingfeng's body. It gently nodded its head, and they liked to be close to magicians.

  Wu Lingfeng gently stroked the mane of the unicorn, then looked at the 10,000 soldiers in front of him and took a deep breath. "Before we march," he said, "I want to say a few words. I am Wu Lingfeng, as you see, a magician and also a guardian knight. You will follow me to conquer everything ahead for Her Highness the Princess and block all enemies who dare to invade her."

  You may think that what I said sounds a bit grandiose, and I think so too. I asked myself if I have the ability to lead you well, but this is absolutely not an excuse. Not doing something just because you know you won't do it well, isn't that self-denial? No way!

  Before, I was just like you guys, an ordinary soldier. By chance, I grasped magic and became a high school magician. So before that, I was living the same life as you guys, without any purpose or direction. Just drifting through life in confusion until death, is this really all there is to our lives?

  No! We are men, we want to make achievements, we want to create honor. At the moment we step onto the battlefield, we are not fighting for this country, nor for Her Highness the Princess, but for ourselves!

  "My warriors, trust me. From today on, we will embark on a path of honor. If you believe in the power of wizards, then believe in me, I will bring you the glory you deserve. Let's set out now."
