Chapter 1539: Darlene Returns
"Military genius brings Zizhi Tongjian to another world ()" Find the latest chapter!
Although the Holy Hilan Empire has been defeated by their Britannia Empire, and there is no army in the country that can still fight, for the sake of safety, the Britannia Empire still deploys a large number of border defense forces at the border with the Holy Hilan Empire.
The duties of these border defense forces are simple - guard against possible cross-border attacks by the Holy Hilan Empire, prevent refugees from the Holy Hilan Empire from going south, and welcome the return of the defeated soldiers lost in the Holy Hilan Empire.
Because the Holy Hilan Empire no longer has the ability to launch cross-border attacks, the current tasks of the Britannia Empire's border defense forces are mainly the latter two.
The Holy Hilan Empire suffered a great defeat, and their national strength was further damaged, and their economic situation would only take a sharp turn for the worse.
At that time, there will inevitably be many refugees flocking to the Britannia Empire.
Although these refugees are valuable labor, the Britannia Empire is not short of labor at present.
Moreover, it takes a lot of time and energy to receive and resettle refugees.
Just to appease the remnants of the two countries, the Roland Empire and the Frank Empire, the central government of the Britannia Empire has spent most of its energy. It really doesn't want to add another trouble to itself and settle these refugees from the Holy Hilan Empire.
Therefore, the central government of the Britannia Empire has issued a strict order to the border defense forces-not to allow any refugees from the Holy Hilan Empire to flow into their country.
The only people who can enter their country are the defeated soldiers of their Britannia Army who were left behind in the Holy Hilan Empire.
The defeat of the first Holy Hilan Empire's war of annihilation caused countless Britannia Army soldiers to not have time to follow the large army to escape back to the Britannia Empire, and they were left in the Holy Hilan Empire.
Since the defeat of the first Holy Hilan Empire's war of annihilation, many soldiers who were left behind in the Holy Hilan Empire have successfully fled back to the country one after another.
However-it was only when the first Holy Hilan Empire's war of annihilation just ended that many people fled back.
As time goes by, the soldiers of the border defense force see fewer and fewer comrades who have successfully escaped.
For example, it was more than a month ago that the soldiers of Fort Reagan saw their comrades escape from the Holy Hilan Empire.
Fort Reagan was a frontline fortress built by the Central Government of the Britannia Empire at the border between the two countries after the end of the war of extermination of the Frankish Empire in order to fight against the Holy Hilan Empire. It was specially used for enemy reconnaissance.
At present, there are 221 soldiers in Fort Reagan, stationed in Fort Reagan day and night.
"Ha..." A soldier standing on the watchtower of Fort Reagan yawned loudly.
"It's so boring." A soldier standing next to him echoed, "The Holy Xilan Empire has been defeated by us. I really don't know what we are doing here now..."
"In a short while, we should be withdrawn back to the country." The yawning soldier just now said, "Then this Reagan Castle will be abolished."
"We shouldn't be withdrawn back to the country so soon. After all, the peace treaty between our country and the Holy Xilan Empire has not been negotiated yet. After the peace treaty is signed, it will take some time before we can leave this damn place."
"When I first came to Reagan Castle, I met soldiers who escaped from the Holy Xilan Empire almost every day, so I was very busy every day. Now those who can escape back to the country have basically escaped back. Those who can't escape back should have died in the Holy Xilan Empire. Alas... War is really terrible... Hmm? Hey, is there someone approaching in front?"
As the sharp-eyed soldier pointed forward, the other soldiers on the watchtower followed the soldier's finger and looked.
I saw a lone figure walking slowly towards their Reagan Castle in the north of their Reagan Castle.
Because the distance was a bit far, it was difficult to see the height, weight and body shape of the figure.
All that could be seen was that the figure was wearing a dark purple cloak, leaning on something similar to a cane, and slowly walking towards their Reagan Castle.
Looking at the figure, the generals and soldiers on the watchtower discussed it.
"Who is it?"
"Is it a refugee from the Holy Xilan Empire?"
"It's unlikely to be a refugee, as refugees usually come in groups."
"Could it be... a soldier left behind in the Holy Xilan Empire?"
"Anyway, no matter what, report to the commander quickly!"
...
The originally quiet Reagan Castle became busy in an instant because of the arrival of this lonely figure.
Led by the commander of Reagan Castle himself, dozens of cavalrymen rushed out of Reagan Castle and ran towards the figure approaching them.
It was not until they got close to the figure that the commander of Reagan Castle and the soldiers he brought with him finally saw clearly that this person was a young woman.
The thing in her hand was not a cane, but a sword with a scabbard.
After seeing the generals and soldiers of Reagan Castle, the woman's eyes, which had been dull, glowed with light again.
"Are you a soldier of the Britannia Army?"
The commander of Reagan Castle rode up to the woman and asked her directly.
What the generals and soldiers of Reagan Castle had to do now was very simple.
If this woman was a refugee of the Holy Hilan Empire, they would send her back.
If this woman is a soldier of their Britannia Empire who was lost in the Holy Hiran Empire, pick her up.
As soon as the voice of the commander of Reaganburg fell, the woman replied in a very hoarse voice:
"I am... Michael Knights... Delan Undead Squadron Soldier... Darlene Carter, this is... my ID card."
After that, the girl... or Darlene took out the ID card of their citizens of the Britannia Empire from her pocket.
Hearing Darlene's words, everyone present, including the commander of Reaganburg, exclaimed.
Because - the name of Delan Undead Squadron is really well-known to them as soldiers of the Britannia Army.
The commander of Reaganburg hurriedly took the ID card handed by Darlene, and then checked it up and down several times.
Whether Darlene is a soldier of the Delan Undead Squadron - the commander of Reaganburg does not know.
But this flawless ID card told the commander of Reagan Castle that the girl was indeed a citizen of their Britannia Empire.
Before the commander of Reagan Castle could say "Welcome back home", Darlene took the lead and asked everyone:
"Does anyone know how the Delan Immortal Squad of the Michael Knights are doing?"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard Darlene's question.
They were just ordinary border guards, so how could they know the current situation of this unit.
"... Forget it." Darlene bit her lip lightly, "I'd better wait until I return home, and then slowly look for the unit... Find news about Yara..."
Darlene entered Reagan Castle under the protection of these dozen cavalrymen.
Before the generals and soldiers of Reagan Castle had time to bring Darlene water and food, a messenger rode a fast horse and ran from them from the south.
As soon as he entered the castle, the messenger shouted at everyone in the castle at the loudest volume he could:
"The Holy Xilan Empire has signed a peace treaty with our country! The Holy Xilan Empire has signed a peace treaty with our country! The war is over! The war is over!"
