Marriage (Part 1)

"Yes! Eileen and I are getting married soon, so of course we need to pick a few brothers to attend the wedding! Oh, right! You guys better come a lot, because I'm also getting married to the Heavenly Dragon King Grandilo on that day. If there aren't enough of you, we won't be able to attend both weddings at the same time."

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Unable to withstand Sordil's double dose of PDA, the group of single people buried themselves deep in the mud to ensure they wouldn't be tortured to death. Perched on Sordil's shoulder, with nowhere to hide, Heradi stared at Sordil with a lewd look that seemed to say, "Boss, you're awesome."

"Ahem! Well... things aren't as you think. There are many reasons for it. Back then..."

"Boss, no need to explain, we all understand!"

Seeing Heradi's increasingly lewd gaze, Sordil thought to himself, "Do you even know anything? Why do I feel like you've gone completely off on a different path?"

At this critical moment, Anna, the thoughtful daughter, stepped forward to help Sordil out of the predicament.

"Teacher, now that everything is resolved, shouldn't we head back to West City?"

"Anna is right, we should go back!"

West City Command Headquarters, War Room

Having experienced the Space Express for the first time, everyone landed safely in the conference room this time. Looking at the familiar scenery around him, Heradi pinched his... no, the arm of the person next to him.

"Hey! Heradi, you idiot, what are you doing?"

"Oops! I'm sorry, I... I pinched the wrong person!"

Seeing the bruises all over Dabo's arm, Elkley himself a thumbs up for his quick thinking. However, his joy was short-lived, as he felt a piercing pain in his right arm. He quickly turned to check on the situation and saw a wicked little hand retreating back into Heradi's arms.

"Heradi, didn't you already pinch Dabo? Why did you pinch me again?"

"Well... I was afraid Dabo had fallen asleep too, so I pinched you again to make sure what we just experienced was real."

"Aren't you afraid that I also fell asleep just now and had the same dream as you?"

Hearing Elkley's words, Heradi nodded in agreement, then stretched out his mischievous little hand again, only to find nothing this time. Heradi looked behind him in confusion, only to find a firebreak had appeared beside him. When he turned back again, Elkley and Dabo had already crossed the firebreak and successfully reached the 'liberated zone'.

Why are you all avoiding me so much?

Seeing Heradi's bewildered expression, everyone collectively complained, "Don't you have any self-awareness about why we're avoiding you so much?"

Faced with the power of the crowd, Heradi weakly muttered, "I just wanted to confirm if what happened earlier was true. Did you have to treat me like this?"

"Heradi, if you think what just happened was a dream, I can give you another solo trip so you can really experience it!"

No sooner had Sordil finished speaking than Heradi knelt down with a thud, then said with tears streaming down his face, "Boss, no need, I... I believe what just happened really did happen!"

"Haha! Heradi's chickened out!"

"Ha ha!"

"He's a bear! The Guard Brigade is a bear!"

While everyone was teasing Heradi, Sordil Kurelle aside and asked him about the Western Border Army.

"Kurelle, have the Western Border Army encountered any problems during the two months I was away?"

"Don't worry, boss. I've been building and managing the Western Border Army according to your original requirements, so there haven't been any problems internally during this Western Border Army. Oh, by the way! Not long ago, we also held Grand Martial Arts Tournament every three months, which selected many outstanding talents. In addition, the residents in the vicinity have heard about the rules of our Western Border Army, so they are coming to join Western Border Army."

"Good! That's good! Hmm... Here's what we'll do: tomorrow you will convene the entire legion for another grand martial arts competition, and select the top twenty... no! the top fifty legion members to come with me to the Kingdom of Donagunov to attend my wedding with Irene."

"Okay! I'll get on it right away! Well..."

Kurelle didn't finish his sentence. Instead, he scanned the room and saw Sordil, who understood his meaning, saying, "Kurelle, remember this: there are no special privileges in our Western Border Army! Our Western Border Army rule is that all benefits are given to the capable, and all important positions are held by the virtuous. Tell those who want to attend the wedding to show their true abilities!"

"Yes, boss!"

Dragunov, the capital, the royal palace courtyard

"Sigh! With the wedding date fast approaching, why hasn't that bastard Sordil come back yet?"

Grandiere glanced at the anxious Irene, shook his head with a smile, and then continued to leisurely play Dragon King with Yelibell and Diphiya. Looking at the three of them so relaxed, Irene said angrily, "The wedding is in two days, and that unreliable Sordil hasn't even shown his face yet, and you guys are still playing games?"

"Sister-in-law Irene, isn't the wedding still two days away? Is there any need to rush? Consecutive Pairs three, four, five, and six!"

Upon hearing Diphiya's words, Irene was so angry she nearly died.

"How can I not be anxious? If your brother doesn't make it back by the wedding day, who will Grandiere and I marry?"

"Sister Irene, don't worry, you'll definitely see your husband on your wedding day! Yes, Jiu!"

Faced with the three incredibly nonchalant individuals, Irene was at a loss for words. She hurriedly walked out of the courtyard. Just then, silver-white engravings suddenly appeared on the ground of the courtyard, covering the entire courtyard within moments. Then, these engravings connected with each other, forming a massive Magic Array.

"Buzzing"

The space trembled violently, and after the tremor reached its peak, the space suddenly stabilized. Then, the Magic Array released a silvery-white light. A moment later, the light dissipated, revealing a cluster of unidentified objects in the very center of the courtyard.

"Ouch! Whose feet are these? They're so disgusting!"

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Who just put their foot in my mouth? Damn it, it's so salty!"

"You dare say that? Just now, one of you sat on my face and even farted!"

"Alright, all of you, stop arguing! Get off me now, you're crushing me like a piece of paper!"

Looking at this group of disgraceful fools, Sordil had an urge to slap them to death with his slippers. However, in front of his two fiancées, Sordil was unwilling to show his violent side, so he could only shout loudly to those below, "Attention all members, form five columns as quickly as possible!"

After the leader gave the order, the mountain of people instantly fell silent, and the individual "stones" quickly dispersed and regrouped. Five minutes later, an elite and capable squad appeared in the palace courtyard, quietly awaiting their master's inspection. Unfortunately, their master was busy apologizing to his fiancée, so the entire squad was in for a collective tragedy.

"Irene, I'm sorry I'm late!"

Irene, who was initially surprised, immediately remembered Sordil's delayed return upon hearing his voice, and roared, "You good-for-nothing, you finally decided to come back! Two days! There are only two days left until the wedding, and you haven't even shown your face. I thought you were going to run away from the wedding again, and I was just about to issue an arrest warrant for you!"

Faced with his furious wife, Sordil knelt down in front of Irene with a thud, tightly hugging her legs with both hands, and then said with teary eyes, "Wife, I was wrong!"

Seeing Sordil's outrageous actions, everyone present was instantly petrified, and the elite squad of the Western Border Army was so shocked that they turned to ashes.
