The Empire Avenue ran from the south to the north. It was a great avenue built by countless craftsmen and master dwarves over the centuries in the steel arms empire. It was also a guarantee for connecting the major cities.

It was not only connected to the major border passes, but also to the major trading ports. It was like a main blood vessel that maintained the flow of the Empire’s blood.

The Great Dao was costly. Every few dozen kilometers, there would be a large-scale relay station that could provide food, accommodation, and supplies for traveling merchants. Of course… The price would be slightly higher.

To the soldiers, these relay stations were all free, but no relay station could satisfy the supply of tens of thousands of soldiers. Therefore, most of the supplies were brought by the soldiers themselves. The relay station could at most provide hot water for tens of thousands of people, which was very powerful.

Therefore, the soldiers usually did not stay at small stations. Most of them marched with a plan and arrived at the large stations that were one hundred miles away before nightfall.

Marching for a hundred miles a day was not a problem for the elites of the empire that Rox had brought, but it was a big problem for the illegitimate children that had just joined the team.

In such hot weather, despite the scorching heat, they still had to carry heavy luggage. On the first day, many people could not hold on anymore and slowly began to fall behind…

However, Rox did not pay attention to those who fell behind. The entire country was waiting for him to bring back the heads and corpses of the soldiers. Of course, he would not slow down the journey for the sake of the fragile illegitimate children.

Moreover, this was also a test for these boys who were about to enter the army. It was also good to let them understand the rhythm of the high intensity of the army in advance.

However, these illegitimate children had been trained since they were young. Regardless of whether it was their physique or willpower, they were much stronger than ordinary people. On the first day, apart from a few people who fell behind, most of them still persevered.

However, on the second day, most of them could not do it. After resting for a night on the high-intensity journey, the next day, their legs seemed to be filled with lead. They really did not want to move at all.

Gradually, more and more people started to give up. It was still early to leave school, so why did they have to follow this group of soldiers? Was it just to see the cheers of the people? Was it necessary?

Some people started to find excuses and gradually convinced themselves. In the end, they chose to stay on the hard couch in the Courier Station and sleep to their heart’s content.

Some people started to infect like a plague. More and more people chose to give up. By the second day, there were only half of them left.

Seeing this, Rox shook his head and thought to himself, “In recent years, fewer and fewer people have successfully become knights in the Knight Academy. It seems that it’s not the quality of the Academy’s teaching, but the reason why the number of students is getting worse and worse.”.

“It seems that it’s time to clean up the south. The atmosphere is too comfortable…”. …

“However, the forces in the south are complicated. Many mage families have always opposed the military’s plan. It’s indeed a little troublesome to overhaul and implement it to improve the military literacy of the entire population, but it can be a start…” They could start with some border towns that were more inclined to the military’s territory.

Morondor, which had just been reclaimed, was a better pilot. Currently, Lady ICASIO, who was qualified to temporarily manage the place, was only a baroness. Although her child was the only descendant of the felon family.., she was the most legitimate heir, but if she wanted to successfully take over such a large piece of territory, she needed strong support.

Regardless of whether she was sincerely leaning toward the military or to consolidate her power, at least her work on the surface was well done. Both children had been entrusted to her, so it seemed that she would be more obedient in the short term, moreover, there was still a lot of work to be done in Molundo, so it was most suitable to be used as a pilot city for the new policy.

At night, Rox walked outside alone, taking in the cool breeze as he thought about these problems. He had already decided to retreat behind the scenes, so he sincerely intended to properly nurture the next generation of the empire.

After all, the losses this time were really unexpected. Forget about the elite soldiers, the ones who suffered the most were the high-end combat strength. This time, not only did they lose the Buddha Dawn Divine Sword, but seven empire generals had also fallen, it seemed that the northern front would have to maintain a conservative stance for a long time.

The replenishment of fresh blood was imminent…

Just as he was thinking, Rox suddenly smelled a fragrance. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously followed the fragrance.

Even if it was a large-scale courier station, it was obviously impossible to feed tens of thousands of people. Rox had never been special. Just like the Warriors around him, he ate sun-dried butter biscuits and the hot soup prepared by the courier station.

Could it be that Ickes and Duke (the general played by the players) could not help but start cooking? Rox was secretly curious, but then he shook his head. Among the generals who came this time, the two of them were more rigid. They would not do such a thing. It would be easier to say that it was the skull crusher who did it.

Rox smelled the fragrance along the way and walked over. He found two thin and weak young men in cloth clothes. They were the two who he disliked the most.

Rox was slightly stunned when he saw these two people. These two guys actually persisted until now?

He thought that they had fallen behind in the first wave…

“What are you doing?”

“Oh… reporting, sir, we are eating!”The two people saluted seriously.

Rox looked at the Iron Bowls in their hands. There was steaming hot soup inside, but it seemed to taste a little different. When he looked carefully, there was actually noodles inside…

Rox immediately frowned and said sternly, “Didn’t I tell you not to make a fire privately?”

The kitchen of the courier station was strictly forbidden for people to enter. Ordinary soldiers could only make a fire outside if they wanted to cook a bowl of noodles. However, this was strictly forbidden before. Because there were too many people, it was easy to cause a fire if they made a fire casually.

“There’s no fire, Sir!”Brother dog hurriedly said, “We can eat this noodles after soaking it in hot water!”

“Is that so?”ROX sneered, “Why don’t you soak it for me to see?”

If he dared to lie to his face, he would teach these rookies a lesson…

Five minutes later…

It really became soft?

Rox touched the noodles with his knife and fork. It was very elastic, and it didn’t seem to be too raw…

“Sir, do you want to try it?”Brother Dog suggested.

Rox smelled the fragrance and was a little tempted. After hesitating for a moment, he finally moved his fork. This was to test if the two little guys were lying, and not because he was greedy…

Rox comforted himself like this and finally took a bite. After inhaling a large mouthful of the noodles, Rox’s eyes suddenly moved!

This taste…

The sweet wheat fragrance, the incomparable chewiness, and the incomparable taste of ingredients made him almost swallow his tongue.

“What… What is this?”Rox asked in surprise.

“Uh, instant noodles, our specialty…”Pu Yunchuan said.

“Good stuff!”Rox licked his teeth and recalled the novel taste just now. This was much better than ordinary dry food, even compared to some of the top delicacies in the empire!

It was easy to carry, hot soup, and fast food. It was simply the perfect military food. He didn’t expect that there was such a good thing at the Molendo border?

“Where did this craft come from?”Rox asked quickly. He planned to add this thing into the imperial military food category later. If it was a private industry’s craft, the empire would pay a sum of money to buy the technology.

“It’s a craft that a pastry chef surnamed Kang came up with…”Pu Yunchuan spouted nonsense.

“Alright, give me the address. After that, I’ll apply for the quartermaster to go talk to that pastry chef…”Rox smiled.

Pu Yunchuan:”…”

F * ck, eating instant noodles could cause so much trouble… …
