Chapter 1173 Bella Bathhouse (Part 1)

Don't forget Troyes

- Engraved on the cover of Barre's pocket watch

"Hey, why did you join the army? I joined the army purely because I didn't want to farm."

"Oh! Then your purpose of joining the army is exactly the same as mine. I joined the army to avoid farming. Farming is too hard."

"I joined the army to have enough food. Our family is too poor. The food in the army is more and better than what I usually eat at home."

"I want to earn military merits, become a general in the future, make a lot of money, and marry many women. ”

“Hahaha! Making a lot of money, just think about it! There are so many people in the army, how many of them can successfully make a lot of money? ”

“Humph! People always have to have a dream, right? By the way, Bal, why do you join the army? ”

“Yes, yes, Bal, why do you join the army? Aren’t you from a noble family? Since you are from a noble family, why don’t you enjoy the comfortable life and come to the army to suffer? If I had a family like you, I would not join the army. ”

“The reason for my joining the army...?”

I was silent.

After being silent for a long time, I whispered in a tone that was almost whispering:

“I join the army for the people of my country.”

…

…

Bal woke up from his sleep with his eyebrows raised suddenly.

Opening his eyes, what came into view was the familiar white tent top.

After sitting up from the bed, Bal’s eyes subconsciously cast towards the mirror on the long table not far away.

In the mirror, an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face was reflected.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Bal couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Raising his hand,

after touching the wrinkles on his face, Bal sighed:

"Alas... I am really old..."

Just now, when he was taking a nap on the bed, Bal recalled a scene that happened when he just joined the army.

At that time, he was still a young man under 20 years old.

And now, he has become an old man who may not have many years to live.

- What time is it now...

Bal said this in his heart, while reaching out to touch the pocket watch placed beside the bed.

Taking the pocket watch, Bal held it in the palm of his hand and rubbed the cover of the pocket watch with his thumb.

On the silver cover, a sentence was engraved with a knife - Don't forget Troyes.

The name "Troyes" is like an invisible knife, which not only pierces Bal's eyes, but also makes his heart ache.

"Troyes" - this term is synonymous with shame for many people in the Rolling Empire.

The Treaty of Troyes signed with the Britannia Empire five years ago not only compensated the Britannia Empire with a large sum of money, but also ceded all seven provinces, including Roye, Lorraine, Ain, Cher, Roca, Calais, and Pros, to the Britannia Empire.

These seven provinces are among the only few wealthy areas in the Rolling Empire, and they are also densely populated areas.

The expensive northern defense line specially used to resist the Britannias was built in these seven provinces.

The cession of these seven provinces to the Britannia Empire not only dealt a heavy blow to the Rolling Empire's economy, but also caused extremely serious damage to the Rolling Empire's national defense.

After learning that the Treaty of Troyes was signed, Bal felt that even his bones were aching.

On that day, he experienced unprecedented pain.

For the past five years, Barr has had only one goal - to recover lost territory and take back all the lost territory taken away by the Britannians! Search and read e-books

In order to motivate himself, Barr used a knife to carve the words "Don't forget Troyes" on the cover of his pocket watch.

When he felt tired, Barr would take out his pocket watch.

Just looking at the words on the cover, Barr would feel like a spring of strength.

He opened the pocket watch and looked at the current time. He found that it was just past 15 o'clock in the afternoon. Barr stood up and planned to go outside the tent to inspect the military camp.

After leaving the curtain, a refreshing air different from that in the tent came to Barr.

After taking a deep breath of this refreshing air, Barr looked out.

White military tents were connected one after another, forming a huge military camp that could not be seen at a glance - this was the scene reflected in Barr's eyes after he lifted the curtain of the military tent.

Barr was at the northern border at this time.

110,000 troops have been deployed on the northern border adjacent to the Britannia Empire.

A large number of baggage and troops are still gathering.

Looking at the huge military camp in front of him, Barr felt a surge of pride and strength surging from the depths of his body.

After learning that the Britannia Empire was invaded by the Frankish Empire and the two major knight orders, the Gabriel Knights and the Raziel Knights, were severely damaged in the Rhineland Plain, Barr knew that the perfect time to recover the lost territory had come!

Now is the weakest period of the Britannia Empire in recent decades - there is no doubt about this.

If we don't launch a northern expedition and recover the lost territory now, when will we? With this idea in mind, Barr and the other senior generals in the Allied Army jointly wrote to Queen Bella, asking her to order a northern expedition to recover the seven provinces lost five years ago.

Unfortunately, Queen Bella is still as stupid as ever.

Barr's brows gradually tightened.

Because his thoughts gradually returned to the time when he had just written to Bella.

When he recalled the scene at that time, Bal's brows tightened involuntarily.

…

…

…

…

More than two months ago——

Rolin Empire, Imperial Capital Tuli, Bella Bathhouse.

Bal and two other veterans in the army who were only inferior to him in status——Deni and Leo, were kneeling on one knee by the side of a large bathhouse.

Because the outer perimeter of the large bathhouse was hung with thick curtains, Bal and others at the edge of the pool could not see the scene inside the bathhouse at all.

Bal, Deni, and Leo were in a large bathhouse newly built three years ago——Bella Bathhouse.

Bella loved a luxurious life.

In order to satisfy her hobby of bathing, Bella spent a huge amount of money to build this huge bathhouse for her use only three years ago.

Because this bathhouse was only for her use, Bella named this bathhouse after herself.

Queen Bella was bathing in the Bella Bathhouse at this time. Bal and others who wanted to ask Bella to order the Northern Expedition could only come to the bathing pool of the bathhouse and talk to Bella through the thick curtain.

Bal, who was kneeling on one knee by the pool, sniffed.

What entered his nostrils was the aroma of milk.

Smelling the aroma of milk, Bal sighed lightly and said in his heart:

-It's really...too luxurious...

The reason why the air is filled with the aroma of milk is also very simple.

Because Bella usually uses milk instead of ordinary water when bathing.

The huge pool that can accommodate 300 people bathing in it is full of heated milk.

How many barrels of milk are needed to fill such a huge pool-this is simply an astronomical figure.

When he thought of the amount of money Bella needed to take a bath, Bal felt a sense of powerlessness and couldn't help but sigh helplessly and heartbroken.
