The Golden Throne

Chapter 195: Meeting all the children

“There seem to be a few who are awake.”, Liu Feng nodded. He continued to walk forward, and slowly, they reached another center, very similar to the one that the students had. There were a few children who were talking with each other to the side, but it was all very calm, and nothing like the rowdy scene that the students made after they found out that Liu Feng was going to be their commander. 

Liu Feng slowly reached the center and looked at all the children. They saw him as well and recognized him.

“Big brother!”, one of the kids exclaimed. 

“Oh! Yuelan. How are you?”, he smiled back.

“I am fine, big brother. Where were you all these days? The war started, and master instructed us to stay near you, and listen only to you, but you were nowhere to be seen.”, the kid asked.

“I was taking care of some small things. Never mind all of that. Tell me. Is everything alright? Look at you! You are already in the second order! The last time I saw you, you were struggling in the first.”, Liu Feng laughed.

The kid pouted. “I did not struggle. I easily got to the second order. Hmph.”, she said, turning her head.

Liu Feng shook his head and looked at the other children. They looked at him hesitantly, and did not recognize him readily, and interact with him like Yuelan, who was right next to him.

“So, are the new batch of children taking it easy? Are you making them feel comfortable?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Yes big brother. But all those big boys on the other side come here sometimes, and they disturb us when we are meditating. This shook some of the children up a little, and it took them some convincing before they could even sleep. They did not like that they were being disturbed like that.”, Yuelan said.

“I heard a lot of complaints about those students. I will take care of them. I will make sure that they won’t be able to disturb you any longer. But remember, they are all weak. If they want to try something on you, then what do you do?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Punch the hell out of them, and defeat them until they are subservient.”, Yuelan replied solemnly.

“Good.”, Liu Feng nodded.

“Haha.”, Amelia could not keep her laughter in any longer, and she burst into cracks.

“What are you teaching these children?”, she asked, as she was gasping for breath.

“What? I am teaching them how to protect themselves.”, Liu Feng said righteously.

Alright, alright. That is self protection, just like you said.”, Amelia said sarcastically.

Liu Feng shrugged.

“Where are the others. About a hundred are meditating, and you are here. Hu Long is over there with the army. I can’t see at least eighty more.”, Liu Feng asked Yuelan.

“They went for lunch. It is around this time. We stayed here to make sure that no one disturbs the others with loud noises.”, Yuelan said.

“But there was a loud noise just a few minutes ago. Why didn’t you go and teach them a lesson?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Well… I mean… if I actually try to pick a fight with them, they will try to fight back, and all of us will have no time to relax, and we will have to fight with them.”, Yuelan said.

“So you tattled? Next time, tell me, and I will take care of them. These days, I am stuck at a slight bottleneck myself, and meditating won’t help me in droves like it used to.”, Liu Feng said.

Yuelan nodded fervently.

Liu Feng then turned back to go back.

“That’s it? You just came here to say a few words?”, Amelia asked, bewildered. 

“Yup. I just wanted them to know that I was here, and that they had the biggest backer that they possibly could. What else can I do? The rest are meditating, or are out. The children behind Yuelan were new, so they didn’t know me. I don’t want to force myself on them.”, Liu Feng said.

They walked out of the tents, and back to the students’ part of the camp. All of a sudden, his stomach grumbled.

“Shall we go to eat?”, she asked.

“Yeah. I had a big fight today, and it was kinda exhausting.”, Liu Feng said.

“Big fight? How did you manage to omit that?”, Amelia raised her eyebrows.

“Oh, I didn’t tell you about that? Yeah. I fought a few demons because I knew that the army wouldn’t stand a chance. It was easy, but it was energy consuming.”, Liu Feng said.

Amelia looked at Liu Feng suspiciously. They continued to walk until they left the reserved camp and to the general encampment.

They continued to walk, until they saw a lot more people. There was a continuous stream of soldiers with dust, sweat, grime, and some of them even had blood all over their body.

“Well, if George returned, then the rest must have gotten here as well.”, Liu Feng nodded.

There was a little celebratory tone among the soldiers, and they were clearly elagted that the siege was over in such a short amount of time. But some among them had sad eyes, and Liu Feng knew that they were the ones who had lost some one during this fight.

“Hey look. It is the kid who won us the war.”, some one shouted. Liu Feng also looked towards the person who shouted. All the soldiers cheered all of a sudden, and Liu Feng could see who they were talking about.

The soldiers lifted Hu Long on their shoulders and paraded them all over the place. Liu Feng understood why they were doing this. He heard that Hu Long was the reason that the army was able to get into the city in such a short amount of time, and make quick work of the guards.

He also knew that Hu Long fought with the demon soldier in the entrance, and that he saved countless more lives.

“He deserves this.”, Liu Feng nodded. “For a child to take up this much responsibility is tough. He struggled.”

“You sound like you are an old man who deserves all the responsibility in the world.”, Amelia scoffed.

“I am a prince aren’t I?”, Liu Feng laughed.

They walked forward and started looking for the stalls where they were distributing lunch.

“You don’t get lunch for yourself? You also have to eat with the rest?”, Liu Feng asked.

“They stopped giving us lunch in the camp and we were instructed to go to where everyone else was eating.”, Amelia said.

“It’s like they were aiming that at me.”, Liu Feng laughed. He jumped a little to see where to go. But the huge crowd was vast, and they did not allow them to see what was beyond the soldiers.

Liu Feng closed his eyes, and started looking further than they were using mana.

“You said that you would teach me this.”, Amelia said.

“I said I will, so I will.”, Liu Feng nodded and he opened his eyes. 

“Let’s get going. I am famished.”, he said as he started taking a roundabout way to get to the lunch stalls.

Soon, they were able to find where the lunch was being distributed. There were the rest of the children, along with a few recruits and soldiers, just standing there and eating what they were given.

“I thought that the soldiers would be as exhausted as I was, and that they would also rush to eat.”, Liu Feng wondered out loud.

“They can’t eat without the orders of the General, can they?”, Amelia asked.

“Oh right. That was a thing. So many rules. I feel bad for these soldiers.”, Liu Feng said as he went to one of the stalls and reached out for a parcel.

“Who are you? Where is your identification badge?”, the person behind the stall asked Liu Feng.

Liu Feng smiled wryly and he took out his city lord’s badge once more.

“This is a nobility badge. Not your identification within the army.”, the person said.

“That is a thing?”, Liu Feng asked. 

“This is my identification.”, Amelia showed her badge denoting that she was a mage of the army. She was greeted by a warm smile and a parcel.

“Now isn’t this favoritism? I should give Arad a big spanking. Because of him, I am facing all sorts of trouble here.”, Liu Feng cursed.

“Oh yeah. Where is Arad? Isn’t he always next to you?”, Amelia asked.

“He didn’t want to stay under cover, so I gave him my royal identification, and let him go to the better parts of the camp.”, Liu Feng said.

“See, you are facing the problems because you neglected your duties and went and became a recruit.”, Amelia laughed.

“It’s not like I was enjoying my time as a recruit.”, Liu Feng protested.
