The conversation between Fernando and the veteran lasted for a long time, and the servant chief reminded him again and again. In the dark, he got up and left the imperial barracks, while Anthony and Yuri chose to stay.
The first day of black rain came quietly, and the two of them stayed with the Imperial Legion as usual. This was their responsibility as commanders of the Dou Qi Legion and the Magic Legion.
Sitting in their respective military tents, the two of them looked at the black waterline that was getting lower and lower outside, and their thoughts gradually returned to the past, to their childhood.
Talent and perseverance are like two twin brothers. Without either one, they cannot achieve their current status. As for Fernando, he is the most opportunistic of the three, but he is also the most realistic.
The three of them all come from Fata City in the Principality of Knight. Among them, Fernando and his younger brother Caruso are the children of the former Grand Duke of Knight. Anthony and Yuri are poor people.
When Fernando was ten years old, the old grand duke died suddenly. His mother followed her last instructions and made her younger brother Caruso the crown prince, and he would officially take over the entire principality on the day he came of age.
As for Fernando, he was sent to the Principality Academy so that he could learn well and become his brother's right-hand man in the future.
The gears of fate turned slowly that day, and the three of them stood in the dormitory, wrestling together.
Afterwards, Anthony, who was the first to win, became the eldest brother, and Yuri, who was sitting on Fernando, became the second brother. As for Fernando, who was bruised and bruised, he naturally had to settle for the third brother.
Time passed by, and two years later, Anthony became an intermediate knight, and Yuri became a high-level magician. But Fernando was still in a daze all day long, and his favorite thing to do was just read.
Anthony goes out early and comes back late every day, and his body is always covered with bruises and redness. He likes to fight with people, especially those with powerful opponents.
Because in his eyes, the best way to improve your strength is actual combat. Instead of facing those dense tadpole texts all day long, it is better to hold on to the giant sword in your hand.
The fighting spirit increased day by day, and countless steel swords were chopped off. Anthony finally stood at the top of the Fighting Spirit Academy, and no one dared to fight against the sword's edge...
But Yuri, who is gentle and gentle on the outside, is even crazier in his heart. His ambition continues to spread with the staff, and the increasingly hot flame dyes half of the sky red.
During the day, he squandered all the magic power in his body, and at night, he held books in his hands and continued to absorb the unknown mantras. For a period of time, he even secretly studied space spells.
The magic power expanded to the extreme. On a dark rainy night, Yuri suddenly woke up from his training. In the admiration of the two brothers, he waved his hand and smashed the door of the magic academy.
That day, Yuri became a magician, and the staff that had accompanied him for many years also passed away. A eulogy blurted out, which was his last nostalgia...
But on the other hand, the third brother Fernando is still the same as before. Either he read the entire "Old History of the World" today, or he read "Secrets of the Ancient Continent" twice tomorrow.
He is the child of the Grand Duke, and he did not come here to learn fighting spirit or magic. What's more, he has no talent at all. Not only is his physical condition extremely poor, he can't even do the most basic magician's concentration skills.
In the past two years, Anthony and Yuri racked their brains and tried countless methods, but they failed to make him make any progress. In the end, the two gave up this unrealistic idea and turned into his bodyguards.
......
Half a year later, the three of them officially graduated from the Principality Academy. Anthony and Yuri, who originally wanted to work together as mercenaries, were dragged into the Grand Duke's Palace by Fernando.
From then on, Anthony and Yuri became Fernando's personal guards. The two had no objection to this and even maintained their sincere friendship.
Because of their age, the three of them have never been taken seriously by anyone. As Anthony and Yuri are poor, they are naturally used to it. But Fernando is not a candidate for the future Grand Duke.
But fortunately, his younger brother Caruso is a follower, chasing Fernando all day long, and has never had any trouble with the adults.
Days passed by, and at the age of sixteen, Caruso officially became Grand Duke Knight. And the first thing he announced after taking office was to give Anthony the Blade of Light and Yuri the Exploding Spark Staff.<
/p>
As for Fernando, on the surface, he found nothing. But late that night, the four of them were sitting around in the stone tower. Fernando cut his index finger, got his own contracted beast, and exploded the vine.
Three years later, his mother died of overwork. His younger brother Caruso burst into tears, while Fernando warned his two brothers to be careful.
But the tragedy still happened. On a sunny afternoon, a poisonous arrow penetrated the wall of the Grand Duke's palace, shattered Yuri's magic defense barrier, and finally scratched Caruso's left eye.<
/p>
A week later, although the young Archduke Knight was lucky enough to survive, his left eye was corroded into a hole. As for the poisonous arrow, it was a masterpiece from the dark elves.
Caruso, who was still a little weak at first, has changed his temperament drastically since then. Not only has he learned the hypocrisy of the aristocracy, but he has also adopted cruel methods.
Fernando did not say anything to stop this, because at that time he had already read many classics and knew that this was an inevitable experience on the road to growth.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and the name of the One-Eyed Fox became known to the world. Anthony and Yuri also became the Blessed Knight and the Grand Magister successively.
As for Fernando, he stayed in the Principality Army all day long. Either he was drunk today, or he lost his brocade robe and even his storage bag last night.
It was that year that Fernando led a legion of less than five hundred people and quietly left the Knight Principality. These people were all cancers in the duchy's legion, either criminals or the old, weak, sick and disabled. p>
Caruso, on the other hand, issued a principality declaration early the next morning. At this point, the Knight Principality officially declared war on the old king, but Fernando only had two main combat forces, Anthony and Yuri.
Half a year later, the hurricane plains were filled with smoke, and the corpses of the king's army and the rebels were like weeds. Caruso, as a backup, continued to squeeze every noble in a madness that was almost plundering.
A year later, the water of Crown Lake was dyed red. Allied forces from other principalities joined the war one after another, including even those alien legions who did not care about the world.
Fernando stood quietly on the front line. He didn't like to be a coward, and he regarded this war as a game.
Anthony's blade of light hissed, and each sword took away countless lives. Yuri's explosive spark staff flashed fluorescently, and the rain of fire in the sky turned the world into an abyss of purgatory.
Six months later, the three of them went hand in hand and stepped into the Miracle Plain. And the outline of the so-called Aogu City faintly emerged...
"Why did you come to me if you don't stay with the Magic Legion?" Anthony was interrupted by the visitor, but there was no trace of anger in his words.
"It's almost time. We have to attend the imperial meeting today." Yuri picked up the water glass on the table and said softly.
Not long after, the two left under the watchful eyes of all the adjutants. Although it was dawn, it was still dark due to the black rain in the sky.
Yuri's magic defense barrier always surrounded the two of them, but they stopped not far from the city gate, with smiles on their faces at the same time.
"Don't tell me, you stood here all night last night." Anthony asked, rolling his eyes.
"I can't sleep, and I don't know where to go." Fernando replied softly.
"Let's go eat something first. I'm hungry." Yuri shook his head and walked into the city gate first.
