Chapter 368 The Roundtable and the Focus of the World

Within the Luolin Empire, in the city of Lixi.

In a relatively bright room, Barr, Denis, Leo, Ciel and other senior generals gathered here.

The lighting in this room is good, and beams of bright sunlight shine into this room through the windows.

However, these bright beams of sunlight failed to dispel the gloom that filled the room.

In this room, everyone was standing except Barr.

Everyone lowered their heads, and their haggard faces were all filled with unwillingness and pain.

Some people even had red eyes and looked quite sad.

Barr was sitting on the chair. His originally straight body was bent, as if there was no bone in his spine. His whole body looked extremely haggard and exhausted.

There seemed to be many more white hairs on Barr's head, and the whole person seemed to be many years older.

All the soldiers in Lixi City now know about the extremely humiliating and unequal treaty that their queen has signed with the Britannia Empire - the "Treaty of Trova".

All the senior generals in the army gathered in this room, and it was unknown how long it had been.

half an hour? One hour?

No one knows how long they've been here now.

All they know is that the time they have been silent is equal to the time they have been here together.

No one broke the silence.

No, it shouldn’t be said that no one broke the silence, it should be said that no one knows what to say now.

After an unknown amount of time, the strange silence was finally broken.

——Broken by Baal's cry.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Baal cried loudly.

Because of his grief, Barr, who was originally sitting in a chair, collapsed to the ground.

However, even after he collapsed on the ground, Baal still lay on the ground crying and wailing loudly.

"Coach!"

"Coach Barr!"

After seeing Barr collapse to the ground, Deni and others immediately stepped forward to help Barr.

"We are incompetent... we are incompetent..."

After hearing Barr's words full of grief, many generals who had red eyes began to sob softly.

The generals who were still able to control their emotions and suppress their eyes from turning red slowly started to turn red at this time.

Barr's words "We are incompetent" were like sharp awls inserted into the hearts of everyone present, causing each of their hearts to bleed.

After signing this extremely humiliating "Treaty of Truva", who feels the most pain, there is no doubt that it is the generals who can only hide here in the Greek city because of the defeat.

The reason why the "Treaty of Troyes" was signed was that they had a very important responsibility for their defeat.

It was precisely because of their defeat that they suffered serious losses of elite soldiers and generals, and the Rollin Empire was no longer able to compete with the Britannia Empire, so it had to sign the extremely humiliating Treaty of Trova.

This made all the generals - especially Baal, who was responsible for protecting the empire and its people, feel extremely sad.

Barr's mournful cries and the low sobs of the other generals echoed in this small room for a long time...

…

After the permission to return to the country was issued, the more than 100,000 troops surrounding Lixi City immediately began to withdraw into the country.

Su Cheng originally thought that Albert, who was the general in charge of the southern front, would stay on the southern front and not return to Pendragon with them, but he did not expect that Albert would receive an order. The central government asked him to follow Su Cheng and Alan returns to Pendragon together.

Even Albert was very surprised by this order from the central government. Like Su Cheng, he thought he would be left on the southern front.

Although he was very surprised by the central government's order to return to Pendragon, Albert didn't think much about it and obediently followed Allen and Su Cheng back.

These two large-scale offensives this year - the "Spring Awakening" Offensive and the "Summer Wind" Offensive, the Rachel Knights were severely damaged. In these two large-scale offensives, the Rachel Knights were fully It cost nearly 50,000 casualties.

In other words, the Rachel Knights suffered casualties of a quarter of their troops.

Although the Rachel Knights suffered heavy damage, compared with the results of the battle, these casualties are not mentioned.

After all the troops that launched the "Xia Feng" offensive were withdrawn to the country, Su Cheng and others followed the orders of the central government and left a large number of troops to continue stationed on the southern front. Su Cheng and others returned to Pan with only 50,000 people. Dragon.

After nearly a month of trekking, Su Cheng and others finally returned to Pendragon successfully.

…

October 15, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Outskirts of Pendragon.

"Jacob, look." Gozevin smiled and said to Jacob sitting next to him, "The heroes are back."

"Well, I saw it." Jacob's face was filled with a happy smile.

Today is the day when Su Cheng and his team return to Pendragon.

In order to show respect to Su Cheng and the others, Ge Zewen led Jacob and other important ministers out of the city early today to greet Su Cheng and the others.

At this time, bursts of "rumbling" sounds of carriages and horses could be heard in the distance.

The flags and national flags of the Britannia Army slowly rose from the distant horizon.

Su Cheng and the others are finally back!

The troops returning from the squad were divided into three queues.

Among these three queues, the person in the middle and at the front is Su Cheng.

Because Su Cheng was undoubtedly the greatest contributor to the "Xia Feng" offensive, he was naturally in the most conspicuous position.

The people on the left and right of Su Cheng were Albert and Allen respectively.

Alan, Alyssa, Hazel, Deng Jiaer and others were also behind Su Cheng and Albert.

Seeing Su Cheng, who had been away for more than four months and seemed to have become a little more mature, the look of relief on Jacob's face couldn't help but become more intense.

"Mr. Cheng..." Jacob whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "I asked you to become an Imperial Knight last year, and it was indeed right..."

After seeing Su Cheng and others' queue appear, Ge Zewen immediately led everyone forward to greet Su Cheng and others.

After seeing Ge Zewen riding a fast horse and leading a group of important officials towards them, Su Cheng and others immediately got off their horses and saluted Ge Zewen.

"Hahahaha!" Ge Zewen laughed loudly, "No need to be formal! Heroes of our empire! You are finally back!"

After saying that, Ge Zewen immediately dismounted and went to help Su Cheng and others. Then he accompanied Su Cheng and the others back to Pendragon.

Now that Ge Zewen and others have joined their ranks, it is natural that Su Cheng can no longer be in the middle.

The person in the middle of the queue became Emperor Ge Zewen.

Su Cheng was on the right hand side of Emperor Ge Zewen, and Jacob was on the right hand side of Su Cheng.

"Mr. Cheng." Jacob rode the horse very skillfully, walking beside Su Cheng, and joked to Su Cheng in a low voice, "You have exceeded my expectations again this time. The last time in the Kingdom of Lunde I didn't have high hopes for you in the rescue battle. I just hoped that you could come back safely and get some experience, but I didn't expect that you would come back directly with me the first battle merit. And this time in the 'Xia Feng' offensive, I didn't expect you either. You had high hopes, I just hoped that you could come back safely and gain some qualifications, but I didn’t expect that you would come back with the first military achievement for me.”

After hearing Jacob's joking words, Su Cheng smiled awkwardly: "These are just my luck..."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Cheng, you don't have to be so humble. Sometimes you have to learn to admit that you have extraordinary talents. Honesty is also a virtue."

Having said this, Jacob paused for a moment, and then said in a tone that contained a hint of gratitude:

"Mr. Cheng, it's really hard for you this time. Thank you."

"No need to thank you. I am a knight of the Britannia Empire. I just did what I should do." After saying that, Su Cheng stretched hard, "But it is indeed very hard... I’m going to have a good rest when I get home.”

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Albert, who was on the right side of Jacob, spoke with a grimace:

"Su Cheng, you are thinking the same thing as me. When I return to Pendragon's home, I also want to have a good rest."

As soon as Albert finished speaking, Jacob, who was sandwiched between Su Cheng and Albert, suddenly showed a strange smile.

"Albert... you may not be able to rest after you go back..."

"???"

Albert looked at Jacob with a question mark on his face.

What do you mean?

——Albert asked his friend Jacob with his eyes.

"Because -" the weird look on Jacob's face became more and more intense, "A round table meeting is going to be held. As the leader of the Rachel Knights, you must attend. In these days, you will Don’t take a break yet, get ready to attend the meeting. This roundtable meeting has a lot of content and is important, so you have to prepare in advance.”
