Chapter 1159 Meeting (Part 1)
Go back in time many days ago——
The Empire of Britannia, somewhere along the Chavel River.
"They claim to be the envoys of the Knights of Michael!"
The shout from the messenger was clearly heard by everyone in the tent.
Everyone in the tent, including Ron, was stunned at this time.
No...it would be more accurate to say he was dumbfounded.
After being dumbfounded for a while, Ron finally came to his senses.
"impossible!"
Ron, who had just regained his composure, the first word out of his mouth was doubt.
"The Knights of Michael are stationed in the north, how could they appear here!"
As soon as Ron's questioning came down, the rest of the people in the tent agreed:
"Yes! How could the Knights of Michael appear here?"
"The Michael Knights are stationed in the north. If they go south to rescue Pendragon, they will never pass through here unless they come in a big circle!"
"Could this be some group of bandits pretending to be the Knights of Michael and defrauding our trust?"
"Don't be stupid! Are those bandits blind? Can't they see that we have thousands of fully armed elite soldiers here? Which bandit has the guts to attack the army?"
…
While the generals in the tent were discussing, Hans was the first to say to Ron in a deep voice:
"Your Excellency the Duke. Regardless of whether this envoy is really from the Knights of Michael, it would be better for us to receive them first."
"Even if this envoy is fake, with 2,000 winged cavalry, we are not afraid of how this force pretending to be the Knights of Michael dares to make trouble."
"...Yeah. You're right."
After nodding and agreeing with Hans's proposition, Ron said to Hans:
"Hans,
It's up to you to bring this envoy into the camp! The others worked with me to set up the tent and prepare to receive the envoys. "
"yes!"
…
…
The main tent of this formation has been cleaned a little.
Ron was sitting at the northernmost point of the tent.
The senior officers of the Winged Cavalry Regiment were on both sides of Ron in front of him.
Not long after, Hans’ loud announcement sounded outside the tent:
"Your Excellency the Duke! Your Excellency the Envoy is here!"
"Invite him in," Ron shouted angrily.
"yes!"
The curtain of the formation's big tent was lifted open.
Jingle bell, jingle bell...
Before anyone came in, Ron was the first to hear the crisp sound of a bell.
——Bell?
Just when Ron was wondering what the ringing sound was, a petite little girl with black hair and golden eyes slowly walked into the tent along the opened curtain.
After the little girl walked into the tent, Hans followed closely behind the little girl and entered the big tent.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Ron raised his eyebrows.
--Um? little girl? Is she the envoy?
Not only Ron, but the other generals in the tent, and even Hans, who was responsible for welcoming the envoys into the camp, had either slight or strong doubts on their faces.
"I have long paid tribute to you, His Excellency the Duke of Connaught."
The little girl bent down and made a polite gesture towards Ron who was sitting upright. There was almost no fault in it.
"I am Vivian O'Brien. I came to your camp on the orders of Su Cheng, the leader of the Michael Knights."
It wasn't until the little girl who called herself Vivian O'Brien introduced herself that Ron recovered from his doubts about her identity.
——She is really an envoy... No way... This is the first time I have seen such a young and petite envoy...
While Ron was thinking this in his heart, he quickly returned the greeting:
"Thank you for coming all the way."
"Your Excellency, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Your Majesty calls himself an envoy of the Knights of Michael. So - can you produce some objects to prove your identity?"
Ron didn't exchange any more greetings with Vivian, and directly asked Vivian the question he wanted to know the answer to most.
After all, if the envoy in front of you is fake and you spend more time making pleasantries, it will just be a waste of time.
As soon as Ron finished speaking, Vivian nodded readily and agreed:
"This is natural."
After saying that, Vivian took out a fire seal from her pocket.
"This is the fire seal of our leader. Please see it, Your Excellency the Duke."
Hans, who was standing behind Vivian, hurriedly stepped forward, took the fire paint seal from Vivian's hand, then walked quickly to Ron, respectfully handed over the fire paint seal in his hand, and then Retreat behind Vivian.
After taking the fire paint seal, Ron examined it carefully.
After checking the authenticity of the fire seal, Ron couldn't help but exclaimed:
"It's really the 'Seal of Michael' of the leader of the Knights of Michael!"
In the major knight orders of the empire, many things are passed down from generation to generation by the group leaders.
For example - the fire-lacquer seal passed down from generation to generation among the group leaders.
The fire seals held by the heads of the major knight orders are commonly known as "Michael's Seal", "Gabriel's Seal", "Rachel's Seal" and "Uriel's Seal". print".
This thing is an extremely valuable item. When sending a letter somewhere in the name of the Knights, the letter will be printed with a fire seal that has been passed down from generation to generation and can only be held and used by the group leaders. Fire paint.
If you want to temporarily transfer this fire seal to another person to hold or use, you must also obtain the consent of the leader of the knights.
Ron is the Duke of Connaught, so of course he knows what the fire seals that only the heads of the major knights' orders look like.
Therefore, Ron could tell at a glance that the fire seal in his hand was indeed the "Seal of Michael" that only the previous leaders of the Michael Knights were qualified to hold and use.
After returning the Seal of Michael to Vivian, Ron said to Vivian in a more respectful tone than before:
"Your Majesty the Envoy, you were so rude just now."
"Please forgive me for being presumptuous again - why does your regiment appear here? I have racked my brains, but I really can't figure it out - why your regiment, which is supposed to be stationed in the north, appears here and is with me. Waiting for a chance encounter here.”
Vivian smiled very dignifiedly:
"It was actually just a coincidence that I met His Excellency the Duke here."
"When we learned from the scouts that His Excellency the Duke's troops were stationed not far in front of us, all the knights in our order and our captain were also quite surprised."
"As for why we are here - this question will be answered by our leader himself."
After saying that, Vivian cleared her throat, and then said seriously:
"Your Majesty the Duke, judging from the direction of your army's march, you are planning to go to support Pendragon. Is your officer right?"
Although Vivian's sentence is in the form of a question, it has an affirmative tone.
As soon as Vivian finished speaking, Ron said without thinking:
"Exactly."
"Your Excellency the Duke. Our regiment leader also guessed that you plan to lead your army to support Pendragon."
"Therefore, our leader hopes to meet with you. To discuss with you matters related to rescuing Pendragon."
"I came to your camp precisely to convey this news to you."
