Chapter 104 Promotion——Double Oak Knight! (Superior)
"His Majesty the Emperor—here!!"
The loud shout of the guard made the originally noisy meeting hall quiet down instantly.
The civil servants and knights on both sides of the chamber hurriedly stood still.
Soon, Emperor Gozevin and Jacob walked in through the side door of the meeting hall.
Jacob, who entered the meeting room, immediately saw Su Cheng standing at the front of the knight queue.
At this time, Su Cheng also found that Jacob was looking at him, so Su Cheng looked at Jacob with eyes full of smiles.
Looking at Su Cheng who was looking at him with a smile on his face, Jacob showed a wry smile, and then shook his head slightly.
At the same time, he whispered in a voice that only he could hear, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. He even 'robbed' the position of the commander-in-chief of the entire army, wiped out the 80,000 regular army of the Carolingian Kingdom, and captured Allen alive... This is really..."
After all, Jacob smiled wryly again and shook his head lightly.
The reason why Su Cheng was able to participate in the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom this time as the deputy commander of the 10th Army was because Jacob was secretly assisting. As the deputy commander of the 10th Army, he participated in the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom. Jacob also told Su Cheng about this matter before.
The reason why Jacob arranged for Su Cheng to participate in the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom as the deputy commander was mainly because he wanted Su Cheng to get some qualifications back, and he did not expect Su Cheng to be able to participate in this battle. What kind of decent military exploits have been won in the middle school.
Jacob only hoped that Su Cheng could return safely and unscathed from this battle. It would be best if he could get a little military merit, and it didn't matter if he didn't get it.
But unexpectedly, Su Cheng actually "robbed" the position of commander-in-chief in this battle, and led the whole army to wipe out the 80,000 troops of the Carolingian Kingdom. Len Jones was brought back alive!
Three days ago, after Su Cheng led the army back, Jacob watched the battle report while drinking black tea.
Jacob looked at it and sprayed out the black tea in his mouth.
After spitting out all the black tea, Jacob didn't bother to read the report leisurely while drinking the black tea, and quickly looked at the combat report at a glance.
After reading it, Jacob's mood can be said to be very complicated.
Jacob's mood at the time, for example, was similar to: You gave your child 50 Yinglang to buy a small bag of rice. As a result, when the child came back, he found that there were hundreds of rice carts behind him, and he bought millions of tons of rice for you, and returned you 5 million British lang.
——Jacob’s mood was almost like this at that time.
Jacob never expected that Su Cheng would be able to make such a great contribution and come back!
When I set off, I set off as the deputy commander, and when I came back, I came back as the commander of the entire army.
The original strategic concept of the Britannia Empire was just to repel the army of the Carolingian Kingdom, but it was unexpected that Su Cheng would wipe out all the enemy troops directly!
Not only that, but Alan Jones was captured alive.
This is the point that shocked the top brass of the Britannia Empire the most!
Who is Alan Jones?
He is the mortal enemy of the Britannia Empire - one of the most powerful generals of the Frankish Empire! In the past ten years that Allen has been active, it has brought a lot of trouble and suffering to the Britannia Empire. Allen Jones' reputation as a "steel bone" has already spread throughout Britannia.
But unexpectedly, this powerful and extremely difficult "steel bone" was actually defeated by a knight of Xingui who had only been a knight for 2 months! He was captured alive!
When Jacob was reading the combat report, he wondered if the report was fake.
Until I went with Emperor Gozevin and many ministers to see the place where the dungeon was held,
After seeing the disheartened Allen, he was sure that the report was not wrong, and his eyes were not wrong.
——Su Cheng really defeated Allen with his own hands! And capture him back to the country alive!
At this time, looking at Su Cheng who was looking at him with a smile on his face, Jacob still has a sense of unreality.
Jacob followed Ge Zewen slowly to the throne.
After Ge Zewen sat on the throne, he said loudly:
"Today, all civil servants and knights and I gathered here to hold the 'Meeting of Distinguished Merits' to reward those who made great military achievements in the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom not long ago. .”
"You guys are doing really well."
Speaking of this, a faint smile appeared on Ge Zewen's face.
"After I received the combat report, I couldn't believe my eyes. I believed that with the abilities of our Britannia knights, it would not be difficult to win the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom, but I didn't To think that you can win so beautifully!"
"Originally, I only hoped that you could repel the bandit army of the Carolingian Kingdom, but I didn't expect that you would wipe out the bandit army directly, and the 4,000 iron armored cavalry sent by the Frankish Empire to support them would also be enough. And annihilated, even that Alan Jones, you also captured me alive. To be honest, I was shocked when I read the report, and I wondered if Jacob was playing a prank on me again, and sent the report to the exchange Now, a fake report was exchanged to tease me."
As soon as Ge Zewen's words came out, everyone in the conference hall was amused by Ge Zewen's humorous speech, and Su Cheng's mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Jacob, who was standing next to Gozevin, shrugged his shoulders. His expression seemed to be saying to Gozevin: "You can say whatever you want~"
"During this battle, there are seven people who have won military merit enough to participate in this 'Great Reward Conference', and I will reward them one by one."
Speaking of this, Ge Zewen changed the subject.
"It's just that, before holding the meritorious deeds ceremony, we first pay tribute to Nicholas Alva, the Four Royal Knights who unfortunately died in this battle."
After saying that, Ge Zewen's expression darkened.
At this time, Su Cheng also keenly noticed that the expressions of Alisa and Issel standing beside him had also become a little heavier.
A few tears flashed in Alisa's eyes.
Looking at Alisa, who was shining with tears, Su Cheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart for some reason.
At this time, Ge Zewen continued:
"Nicholas Alva, aged 54, was the deputy head of the Gabriel Knights among the three major knights in Britannia, and he is the only four royal knights in Britannia. One, a very valuable pillar of our Britannia."
"In his life, he fought north and south, made great achievements, and made great contributions to our Britannia. He is one of the generals that I, Gozevin Augustus, rely on most."
"But I didn't expect...he actually died in this battle..."
Gozevin's expression became more serious.
"Let me be honest, after learning that Nicholas died in battle, I couldn't help but shed tears..."
"It's really hard for me to accept that the pillars of our empire just died in battle..."
"Nicholas has devoted almost all of his life to us Britannia. In order to express my gratitude and respect to Nicholas, I have decided to posthumously confer Nicholas Alva as Viscount Cade!"
After that, Ge Zewen stood up.
"Not only that, but the soldiers who died in the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom this time were as good as Nicholas! Without their sacrifices, we would not have achieved such a brilliant victory this time!"
"So, everyone," Gozevin continued in a deep voice, "Now, let's observe 3 minutes of silence for Nicholas and the soldiers who died in this war."
As soon as Ge Zewen finished speaking, he closed his eyes and lowered his head.
And Jacob, who was standing next to Gozevin, immediately closed his eyes and bowed his head like Gozevin.
After seeing Ge Zewen and Jacob mourning there, Su Cheng quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes, mourning for the soldiers and Nicholas who died in the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom.
Because he closed his eyes and lowered his head, Su Cheng couldn't see the appearance of the others.
However, Su Cheng felt that other people must also bow their heads in silent mourning.
After three minutes of silence, Ge Zewen raised his head, opened his eyes, and said: "Okay, the silence is over."
After hearing Ge Zewen's words, Su Cheng raised his head and opened his eyes.
After opening his eyes, Su Cheng caught a glimpse of Alisa who was quietly wiping away the tears from her eyes with her fingers.
After seeing everyone raised their heads, Ge Zewen sat back on the throne.
"Then, let's start today's topic now, the 'Convention of Rewarding Merits'!"
