Chapter 272 A traveling companion(1/2)
Why are you still not sleeping so late?”
Yi Ming looked at the ice fish and Brenda in surprise, which made Brenda shrink. After all, she was still wearing a nightgown and just put on a cloak outside. Originally, she could not meet outsiders in such a dress. But Brenda was always anxious about her inner distress, and ignored this. Now, under Yi Ming's gaze, she finally discovered her own problems.
"I'm waiting for my dad and mom to sleep."
Icefish put down the book in her hand and looked at Mealie.
Although Icefish also has its own room, for some reason, she rarely sleeps alone. Even in the castle, Icefish often sleeps in the same room with Mealli. Perhaps because she is still young, she still hopes to rely on others. But now, Mealli's room has been temporarily given to Luka, which makes Icefish have to sit in the hall and wait.
"Then, let's sleep together tonight."
Yi Ming shrugged helplessly, then looked at Meali. Meali nodded with a smile.
(I certainly have no problem.)
"Hey, three people are needed...?"
However, when Brenda heard this, his face changed slightly.
"Is there any problem? Miss Brenda?"
"Ah. No...no... nothing. I'm sorry. The night is already deep. So good night..."
When facing Yi Ming's half-joking questioning, Brenda was obviously very embarrassed. She even said nothing about the preface and responded in a panic. She left the living room like this. She only left the trick with a smile and a proud look on her face. She shook her head with a helpless smile and sighed with a helpless smile, and Ice Fish was just a slight ice fish.
(Treat girls, you should be more gentlemanly.)
"Good. Next time I'll consider saying 'Honest Miss Brenda. I wonder if you're interested in going to bed with us?' How do you think of this kind of line?"
With a smile without reflection, Yiming said to Meyalie. But this sentence was just a meaningful smile.
(Yiming, don’t you think that three people will squeeze a little while sleeping in a double bed?)
“…………………Okay, I reflect.”
Faced with Mayali's uninspiring threat, Yi Ming finally raised his hand to surrender, which finally saved him from the pain of sleeping on the sofa.
After the routine banquet, the superior nobles finally became serious. Some of them were still getting closer to Yiming, while others had already begun to take nervous and busy actions.
Although it is very urgent to get closer to Imin and Mealli, it is also very important to examine Azus's vitality and prosperity. Since the routine breakfast the next morning, Marien and Lucia have been engaged in a busy and intense working state. Not only do they want to introduce the situation in Azus City to the nobles, they also have to discuss and communicate about some conditions. After all, most of the superiors understand that the Forest of Life is obviously still in a blank period. Although the Holkins family has occupied a core position, as the saying goes, there are more porridges and fewer monks, they still have the opportunity to drink soup. After the failure of the Federation's another invasion, these superiors who had completely maintained a wait-and-see attitude finally took their own actions.
Yiming basically didn't ask about all this. He handed over all the questions to Marian and Lucia, while he and Meallie were preparing to return to Lily Flower City. However, this time, there was an unexpected figure in their journey.
Alinoa.
"It's time to go back and see my mother."
Although Yiming was a little uneasy about her leaving together, Elinoa's answer was impeccable. This was an order directly conveyed by the Leah royal family, and there was no possibility of rejection. Think about it carefully, as the princess of the empire, she was also a girl and a child. It was understandable to see her parents. However, in this way, the armed forces in Azus City had to stop, because in Yiming's current small ***, only Elinoa was born in the army, and the rest were civil servants. Marian and Lucia did not have the ability to manage the army, and after the fortress incident, Mealie was not at ease to let strangers manage the arms here.
So Yiming found a candidate that no one could imagine.
A new day has begun.
Standing on the playground, the soldiers were a little uneasy. Although they stood up, they could not hide their confusion. Alinoa had already notified her that she was temporarily leaving. Because of this, the soldiers are now beginning to panic. After all, they don’t know what kind of person they will take over for the time being. Although they are princesses, because they have been in the Royal Army, Alinoa is polite.
The training of these soldiers was extremely strict. Because Marian and Lucia were dealt with in political affairs, Elinoa spent most of her time in the garrison troops in Azus City responsible for training. Although she was strict, she had clear rewards and punishments, and she had high strength. So she was very popular with everyone. Although there were many young people with strong spirits who were moved by her, after all, she knew that toads could not eat swan meat, so she had to give up.
The weather has become much colder, and it is almost early winter. It is absolutely unpleasant to stand on the playground in cold armor and drink the northwest wind. But the soldiers were gritting their teeth and persevering, and no one complained about being tired.
"Hey, boss, who do you think will be the one who will succeed Lord Elinoa?"
A young soldier finally couldn't help but feel lonely and quietly asked the captain in front of him.
"I can't figure out who can take over Lord Elinoa's position..."
"Shut up, idiot."
The captain, who was nearly middle-aged, glared at the reckless guy fiercely.
"What is succession? This is temporary replacement! Lord Elinoa will come back, not that he will never come back!"
The soldiers who followed Alinoa at the beginning and patrol missions in the undeveloped city of Azus have now basically become the center of the garrison. Faced with the newly arrived recruits, they all proudly boasted that they had been living and deadly with Alinoa. When they were in the mood, they clapped their hands and pointed to the dragon head hanging on the top of the castle.
"At the beginning, this leader was brought back by Lord Yiming and Lord Alinoa!"
The recruits were amazed when they heard this, completely ignoring how much a leader as big as a small house would take.
The most basic fact is enough to resist movement.
It has to be said that in the minds of these veterans, Yi Ming and Mayali are naturally the objects of their loyalty, but when it comes to their favorite and favorite, the princess who has no princess airs all day long.
Of course, after the recruits were beaten half to death by Elinoa, these veterans would still go over and ask, "Mr. Alinoa's swordsmanship is powerful, right?" After receiving a positive answer, these veterans shook their heads and looked like they had seen anything. "This is not the enemy of Lord Mayalie in one move."
Of course, Elinoa didn't hear these rumors, but for her, this was not something that was particularly annoying. Therefore, in front of Elinoa, these soldiers were basically very unscrupulous except for saying less dirty jokes. It was precisely because they believed in their boss that they had such actions. Now, facing Elinoa's temporary departure, although the veterans didn't say anything on the surface, they were also muttering in their hearts. Unlike those young recruits who were full of energy, they had more opportunities to use their brains. Some clever ones had thought that although this time they said they were leaving temporarily, they were His Highness the Princess after all, and they could not have been with us soldiers in a remote village like Azus. This time they said they were temporary, they might never come back. And what kind of person the new boss would be must be pondered.
Of course, some people also speculate that Lord Yiming will lead us soldiers in person...
No matter how speculation is, when Yi Ming really appeared in the playground, everyone was still shocked.
Is it really...
"It seems that you discipline these soldiers well."
Looking at the soldiers who were standing on the top and blew the northwest wind without moving at all, Yi Ming whispered to Elinoa in surprise. Alinoa showed a rare smile on her face.
"I have already stipulated that if there is a shaking person, we will pull it out and fight one hundred and fifty military sticks. In the Guards, we will do this."
“………………………………”
"But sir, have you really decided to do this?"
But then, Elinoa's face became much more serious again.
"Don't worry, it's definitely much better than you think. At least when you come back, the new army will definitely be waiting for you here."
Coupled with Yiming's unique strange smile, these words sounded convincing.
At this moment, Yi Ming and others walked slowly to the soldiers.
"salute!"
Accompanied by the mighty and majestic shouts, the soldiers saluted in unison, with their movements silence. Yi Ming was a little amazed at it, and at this moment, Elinoa also returned to her former seriousness and cold expression and walked forward.
"I think you all have prepared."
She looked at the soldiers with a serious tone.
"During my absence, there will be new superiors to lead you, but you must not relax your current training because of my absence. I will be back!"
Hearing this, Yi Ming couldn't help but look at Elinoa with a strange expression. Why did he say such words?
"So……………………………………………………………I think, some of you might already know her."
Perhaps realizing her mistake, Elinoa coughed awkwardly, then she moved away and revealed the petite figure standing behind her. The ice fish in leather armor stood there quietly, and her thin body even made everyone think that she would fall down as soon as the wind was blown. It even seemed that the book in front of her was heavier than this little girl.
Almost all the soldiers widened their eyes in an instant.
"Miss Ice Fish, she belongs to Lord Yiming and Lord Meiali... Well, anyway, I think you should have heard of her name."
Facing the ice fish, even Alinoa didn't know how to introduce it, and the soldiers were so surprised that they almost didn't even listen to her words.
What international jokes are you making? How old is this little girl? She is just a child, right? Let her lead us soldiers?
If Elinoa hadn't been standing here, she would have been furious at this moment. But even so, the atmosphere around her still changed. Everyone was keenly aware of this change, but how to respond was another matter.
"dad."
Although I could clearly feel the surprised and disdainful gazes of the soldiers, the ice fish still had no expression.
"It's them?"
"Yes, I'll leave it to you. Have fun and surprise Elinoa when she comes back."
“Is it okay to do whatever you want?”
“…………………………………………………………………….”
"I understand, just use immortality as the standard."
"Well, of course, it's better to have a lot of parts."
Faced with Yi Ming's additional request, Ice Fish was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Then, Miss Ice Fish, these soldiers will be under your command from now on."
"I see."
Icefish nodded and looked at the soldiers. The soldiers also looked at her curiously, waiting for the little girl's first order.
The ice fish just stretched out a hand and pointed to the playground. Just as the soldiers were looking at her and hoping that she would give him an explanation, the explanation finally appeared.
"Run a hundred laps."
What a joke? This playground is almost as big as two Azus Castles!
The soldiers immediately looked much lower. Even when Alinoa was training them, she had never seen such a perverted training method!
However, they didn't have time to protest because at this moment, the ice fish had already started running around in circles.
“Come on.”
She said only this and continued to run forward according to the scheduled route. After a moment of silence, the soldiers lined up to follow.
Humph, little girl, I see how long you can last!
To be continued...
