Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 135 Departure
"I'm not too late."

Princess Lina was wearing a black leather jacket and a black hood on her head. She walked slowly from a distance to Eli.

Because of the hood, even if you are close, you can only see Princess Lina's pretty and delicate face. As for her iconic furry cat ears, they are well hidden in the hood.

"You came just in time. Everyone has just arrived."

Eli casually reached out and grabbed Princess Lina's delicate little hand, pulling her to his side while speaking with a smile.

Deputy General Rondo's eyes widened when he saw his young master's offensive behavior towards the imperial princess.

Although the Bruno family is one of the most noble families in the Dawn Empire, it is still far behind the royal family.

In addition, Princess Lina is the emperor's favorite, the apple of his eye. If it were in the past, even if you were the son of a duke, you would not be able to bear the crime of offending the empire's only princess...

Of course, times are different now. With Eli's current strength and achievements, let alone touching the princess's hand, even asking the emperor to marry the princess has a great chance of success.

But all this depends on the wishes of Her Royal Highness the Princess herself. Given the Emperor's love for Princess Lina, he will not give her to a meritorious official at will.

As for Her Royal Highness the Princess herself... Rondo breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Princess Lina, who had been holding Eli's hand for a long time without any resistance.

My young master is so charming that he has won the jewel of the empire without anyone noticing. It seems that this time when he returns to the country, it will not be as simple as a promotion, but he may even be able to drink the royal wedding wine.

Once the Bruno family marries the royal family and marries the only princess of the empire, the Bruno family's status in the aristocratic circle will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced in the future. It will be no problem for them to surpass other dukes and even be on par with princes.

As a member of the Duke's Palace and a close confidant of Duke Bruno, Rondo naturally feels proud of it.

"There are so many people watching, please be careful."

Sitting close to Eli, Princess Lina tilted her head and whispered into Eli's ear.

If Eli just held her hand obediently, Princess Lina could accept it, but Eli was not an honest man. Not only did he hold her hand in front of so many soldiers, he even secretly tickled her palm. Princess Lina, who was naturally ticklish, looked a little unnatural.

"Okay, okay, your Highness the Princess' words are military orders. Eli promises to obey."

As he said that, Eli saluted Princess Lina with a snap. At the same time, his other hand stopped the little movements, but still held Princess Lina's hand.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go. Look, Cecilia is getting impatient."

Princess Lina pressed down her hood and tried to pull her hand out of Eli's clutches, but as a magician, she was obviously not as strong as Eli, and in the end she could only let Eli continue to hold her hand.

As for her soft words, which were spoken in a voice that only Eli could hear, they were the truth. Didn't you see that Cecilia was so anxious that her teeth ached?
"Okay, let's get going! Everyone follow, our destination is the Dawn Empire!"

As Eli's order was given, all the guard members got ready and set off, following their commander and young master on the journey back home.

When this group, which was neither big nor small, walked out of the city gate, they found that there were many familiar faces outside the city seeing them off.

There were those who were members of the guard but chose to stay, there were the coalition soldiers who were not familiar with each other before but became close comrades as the war progressed, and of course, there were also the mighty army of hundreds of races and the saints. "Saint Eli, have a safe journey."

"Saint Eli, don't slack off in your training. I am looking forward to the day when you return to the anti-demon battlefield."

"Don't just focus on cultivation. Have two more children while you are still young. Maybe you can add a few powerful generals who are good at fighting to the next generation of warriors of the Hundred Races."

“Hahahaha, you don’t have to worry about that. Saint Eli is just like me, Old Dragon. He is also a lustful... amorous seed.”

In the open space outside the city, the saints came up to see Eli off together. No matter what they said, Eli listened and accepted it. Although he did not spend too much time with them, he was worthy of the word comrade-in-arms.

Eli was a soldier until his death in his previous life, but his comrades-in-arms died or were injured one after another. He had experienced many farewells to his comrades-in-arms, but he couldn't help but sigh every time.

"We are parting today to accumulate strength to resist the invasion of the demons. Just wait and see. It won't be long before Eli will lead you to drive the demons out of the continent and even counterattack the demon world. Please take care of yourselves and see you later!"

Because the journey was long, the best war horses among the saints and generals were also sent over. Seeing Eli and others mount on the horses, the crowd who were seeing them off naturally made way for them.

"See you later."

These four words are exactly what everyone hopes for. A real man acts without delay, and after saying goodbye it is time to leave.

Just like on the battlefield, Eli was leading the way, followed by Jessica and Cecilia. Princess Lina did not compete with Cecilia and the others for position, but walked silently with Evelyn, following behind. As for Eleanor, she was not used to riding a big horse with her small body, so she fell behind.

At this time, Deputy General Rondo also led the guards to receive ordinary war horses. All of them turned into cavalry and followed closely behind the commander, his wife, and the future commander's wife.

The new cavalry unit passed by the saints, passed by familiar comrades who were waving goodbye, and then slowly passed by the soldiers of hundreds of races all over the mountains and plains. Under the gaze of everyone, countless soldiers of hundreds of races began to shout in unison to bid farewell to their meritorious commander.

Because of the different races, the languages ​​used in the shouts are also different, but the intentions of the soldiers of all races are the same.

Saint Eli, who has made great military achievements, is invincible and has extraordinary talent, has risen like a dazzling star. Although he has hidden in the rear now, he will surely rise from the east in the future and shine on the earth like the scorching sun.

……

……

After bidding farewell to the front line, Eli led his men to gallop on the road where there was no demon rampage, neither hasty nor slow, passing through one city and checkpoint after another.

Eli did not stop anywhere along the way, even though most of the places he visited were the homelands he had recaptured with his army.

Although there were not many people accompanying him and they were not considered outsiders, it was not convenient for Eli to play around with the beautiful girls on the road with so many people watching.

So the first day was quite lonely along the way. It was only when the team stopped to eat at noon that a few people had a brief intimate interaction.
