Chapter 1,454: Waking up From a Dream

The disastrous defeat in the Battle of the Wei River not only wiped out the 4,000 armored warriors that Allen brought to the battle, as well as the 80,000 troops of the Carolingian Kingdom.

He was also captured and his comrade-in-arms, Er, who had followed him for many years, was killed.

Er, like him, was a general officer of civilian origin.

However, he did not have the strength and luck of Allen. After becoming a mid-level officer, his rank never advanced further.

However, it was already very good and powerful for a person of civilian origin to become a mid-level officer.

In the Frankish Empire, people without the word "Feng" in their names could only be mid-level officers at most in the army.

People like Allen who got the highest rank were outliers.

After Er became a mid-level officer through his own efforts, he began to serve as Allen's adjutant and fought with Allen for many years.

Perhaps because they were both from the same lower class, the two were like-minded and became friends unknowingly.

Allen was ordered to lead 4,000 armored warriors to support the Carolingian Kingdom. As Allen's adjutant, Er naturally went with him.

Then... the army went to support the Carolingian Empire in a mighty manner, and Allen was the only one left in the end...

Allen, who survived, became a prisoner of the Britannia Army.

After being defeated and captured by Su Cheng, Allen once fell into despair.

Failed miserably and captured by the enemy - if it were someone else, even if they were successfully released and returned home, they might still be active.

But Allen couldn't.

How many people were staring at Allen, hoping that Allen would make a mistake.

If Allen dared to make the slightest mistake, his colleagues, those who didn't like his "civilian" identity, would seize the mistake he made, and then try their best to drive Allen out of the ranks of "generals".

So on the way to Pendragon, Allen spent every day on the road in despair.

After arriving at Pendragon, Allen suddenly felt a flash of lightning in his mind.

He suddenly realized that being captured by the Britannian army was unfortunate.

But it was also an opportunity.

An opportunity that might help Allen become a noble in one fell swoop!

So... a bold plan began to brew.

The plan that Allen brewed, to put it simply, was to be a spy.

Lurking in the Britannian Empire, being a spy who was in the Britannian Empire but whose heart was in the Frankish Empire.

As long as he could gain the trust of the monarch and ministers of the Britannian Empire, rise to a high position in the Britannian Empire, and then steal all the valuable intelligence to help the Frankish Empire overwhelm the Britannian Empire, it would be a great achievement!

This was Allen's idea.

So he pretended to agree to the surrender of the former emperor of the Britannian Empire, Gozewen, and became a knight of the Britannian Empire.

At the knight enthronement ceremony, when he received his knight's sword from Gozewen, he was so proud and excited about becoming a knight of the Britannia Empire that he couldn't help but curl up his lips, revealing a smile that might seem very strange to outsiders.

But at that time, he buried his head low,

so no one could see the expression on his face at that time.

...

...

The picture in front of him changed again.

The picture that appeared in front of Allen at this time was the picture when he had just become the leader of the Uriel Knights and was training on the training ground.

For various reasons, Ilsa decided to reuse Allen and Enli.

Let Allen and Enli both serve as the leader and deputy leader of the Uriel Knights.

After learning that he finally became the leader of the Uriel Knights, Allen was very happy.

He had been lurking in the Britannia Empire for so many years, and finally had some results.

Becoming the leader of the Uriel Knights responsible for garrisoning the center meant that Allen finally broke into the upper echelons of the Britannia Empire.

It also means that Allen finally has the opportunity to steal some secrets of the Britannia Empire.

In order to show that he is trustworthy and to make himself more valued, Allen began to spare no effort to train the various troops of the Uriel Knights.

Just recalling the scenes of this short period, Allen felt a smile on his face.

That period of time may be the happiest time in Allen's life since he joined the army.

In the Britannia Empire, there are certainly people who look at him strangely because of his status as a surrendered general.

But at the same time, there are also many people who do not mind Allen's status as a surrendered general, and are willing to get along with Allen and be friends with Allen.

For example, Enli, who has fought side by side with him many times.

For example, Albert, who once fought bloody battles in the South.

For example, he activated his Gozewen.

For example, he reused his Ilsa.

Here, no one sneered at him because of his civilian status.

Here, the nobles are not high and mighty and inviolable.

Here, Allen is so happy.

It was a joy that he had never experienced in the Frankish Empire...

...

...

The light in front of him began to twist and reorganize again.

The light that appeared in front of him changed again.

After the light in front of him was reorganized, Allen found that the scene in front of him was still quite familiar.

What blew on his face was a moist wind with water vapor.

Standing in front of him was a girl who was looking at him with a complex gaze mixed with grief, confusion, anger, sadness and other emotions.

This girl was Ilsa.

And this place was the Yeni River.

It was the place where he led the Uriel Knights to betray the Britannia Empire.

It was a place that Allen would never forget until he died.

The same thing that Allen would never forget until he died was Ilsa's eyes at that time.

When Allen reached out to grab Ilsa, the look Ilsa gave him was something Allen would never forget for the rest of his life.

This girl, and this girl's grandfather, trusted him and spared no effort to reuse him.

But now he was going to betray them and capture Ilsa as a gift to Emperor Shad.

After Enli single-handedly broke through the siege and successfully rescued Ilsa, Allen felt angry.

But at the same time, he felt... quite fortunate.

Fortunately, Enli rescued Ilsa.

…

…

“Dear…father…father…!father!”

In a daze, Allen heard someone calling him.

Calling again and again.

The voice calling him was quite familiar to Allen.

The scene in front of him began to break into pieces like a broken mirror.

Darkness returned to his eyes.

His consciousness finally regained the existence of each limb of his body.

Allen finally woke up from his dream.
