I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

Walking into the tent, Kenny, dressed in black armor, was looking at the map on the long table. After Sera and Bennett came in, he handed two documents to them respectively.

Bennett looked at the information and concluded that there was enough food and supplies for two months.

Exchange files with Sera, this time it is a comparison of the strength of the two territories:

Our side: 4000 ordinary soldiers, 300 extraordinary people, 20 armed forces, and 3 holy swords (including the lord).

Enemy: ordinary soldiers, 100 extraordinary, 10 armed, no holy blade.

To sum up, it was a crushing game. I brought Kenny and Serra here to broaden their horizons.

Seeing this, Bennett no longer had any interest in continuing. Unless our side lost their minds and wanted to split up the troops, it would be easy for the Holy Blade to cut a hole in the wall. The other side would not have a chance at all. Bennett returned the information to Kenny and said blankly, "Do we need to continue reading this? Isn't it enough to just run over it?"

Kenny's eye twitched, he glared at Bennett, and pointed at the map: "We have to choose the route. Although father will follow us this time, he will not give any opinions. All military deployments will be decided by us."

Kenny and Sera are good at fighting training, but they have only learned military management. Marching and managing a military camp are two completely different things.

Bennett also knew why he was in such a dilemma. He was about to go on the expedition and had no plan at all. It would be strange if he didn't have a headache.

After reading the document, Sera kept looking at the map and quickly drew a marching route on the map.

“I think this one is great.”

Bennett took a look and saw that this route was a mountain road with places to set up camp every few sections, so it was a good choice.

"It's too slow. We don't need to rest too much on the way. We can adjust our condition when we are almost there."

Kenny also drew a road on the map, also a mountain road, which was much more direct. This route had to be traveled overnight. Good boy, just go and make trouble for your dad.

"We have sufficient supplies. There is no need to torture the soldiers like this. It doesn't matter if they are delayed for a few days." Sera was considering the ordinary soldiers.

Both roads have one characteristic, they are fast, are they safe? The Cook leader is not capable of an ambush, and he has sent out a large army to ambush. We are not fools, and we have extraordinary power to ambush. The two sides are not on the same level, and they will be sent here.

But is the Rose Guild waiting for us to attack Cook Territory?

He could not directly support Lord Cook, as it would turn into a contest between the two grand dukes. What if he led a team of high-level knights to create trouble in the middle of the road? Fighting at the main gate would be impossible, but it would be easy to destroy the road surface and cut off the food and grass. Two months of food and grass was not a lot, but not a little either. If a part of it was burned, the army would have to wander in the mountains for a few days before the troops had to return in disgrace.

Bennett looked towards the plains, which would take a long time to get there by detour. Kenny's route would take about 7 days, Serra 10 days, and Bennett 20 days.

He reached out and drew the route on the map, but the two of them ignored him.

Neither of them was willing to give in, and they were about to go out for a duel, when the lord arrived at the tent, and the three of them stood up and saluted.

"Lord Lord."

"Yeah. How's the discussion going?"

Kenny handed the map to the lord, who took a look and pointed to the route designed by Bennett: "Let's take this one."

"Why, father, we could have just charged straight ahead."

The lord replied calmly: "This route is convenient for transporting food and fodder. Also, call me Lord in the barracks." After that, he turned and left.

Kenny's face was almost filled with disappointment. Sera had no objection to the lord's decision. To her, there was no difference between a few days late or ten days late.

After a while, a silver-armored knight came to ask for the marching route. He was responsible for leading the team in front and arranging the pathfinders.

Kenny straightened his face and handed the map to the knight solemnly.

"sorry to bother you."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

It was obvious that the knight was very impressed by this. His face turned red with excitement. He saluted and went out happily to do his work.

"Let's go too."

Kenny went out holding the helmet.

"Just follow me. My team should be at the end. I can still protect you."

"it is good."

Bennett followed Sierra.

There are often marching scenes in TV dramas, with a general riding a horse in front and soldiers in neat armor standing in line behind him, looking very majestic.

Is this the reality?

Bennett is now sitting on a donkey cart with a depressed look on his face. The cart is used to carry a tent, and Bennett is sitting on the canvas of the tent.

Behind them came Sera and the knights in her team, six armed knights in silver armor, including the female mercenary knight, who winked at Bennett.

Behind the silver knights came the knights of the big iron barrels. Their armor was not as exquisite as the silver and black armors, and looked like a big white iron barrel. Most importantly, none of them rode horses.

They didn't have horses. Behind each knight there was a person holding their horses. There were two horses. Behind Sera was a little girl about ten years old, carrying a lance and a shield, and following Sera timidly. She must have received knight training, because the little girl didn't even bend her waist with such a heavy shield and lance. The horse was very big, with a shoulder height just a little lower than Sera's head, about 1.7 meters, with red eyes, a snorting nose, and fangs. It looked quite irritable. Bennett was a little worried about the little girl.

The ordinary soldiers did not follow the knights, but were in front of the knights and in front of the supplies.

They were about to leave the military camp, but Bennett was too embarrassed to sit on the donkey cart in front of the whole city, so he jumped off and came to Sera.

Sera glanced at Bennett without speaking to him.

The team finally arrived at the city. Both sides of the road were filled with residents. Bennett thought they would shout something like "Victory!", but no, nothing. They just watched. Most of these people were the elderly, the weak, women and children. They were the soldiers' families.

As they were about to leave the city gate, Bennett saw his father, mother and Aimee. They waved to Bennett and Sera and said a simple goodbye.

Bennett and Serra glanced back at them. There could be no big movements in the army, otherwise they would be finished if they were mistaken for military orders.

Just like that, the army left the east gate in silence. Bennett looked back at the city wall. The dragon's skull was still hanging on it, but it was no longer as shiny. The holes on the bones were clearly visible, and some of them were overgrown with grass. It could no longer bring a strong sense of oppression to people, and even birds began to build nests in the grooves.

"Go and get in the car. No one will pay attention to you from now on." Sera took off his helmet and put it in the arms of the little girl behind him. He took the knight's gun and shield from the little girl's back and put them on his back, and rubbed her head.

The little girl shook her head: "I am your knight squire and should follow you and take care of you."

Sera turned her head to look at Bennett again. Bennett was a little embarrassed because there was no need to worry about enemy attacks in the first half of the journey, so they only had one hot meal a day. They had to travel for 12 hours and set up camp at sunset, so they had to walk kilometers a day. With Bennett's physical condition, he was really exhausted.

After giving two dry chuckles, Bennett shamelessly sat on the donkey cart in front. Staying alive is much more important than saving face.

A paper plane floated in front of Bennett, with a pendant on it.

"Crush it in times of crisis."

The words on the plane explained its function, and the wizard had not forgotten Bennett.

Thanks, teacher.
