Chapter 518: Inspection of the Three Major Knights
April 24th in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire. (There are still 3 days until Ilsa’s birthday and the military parade)
9:11 am.
Britannia Empire, on the outskirts of Pendragon, a military base (where the armored warriors are stationed).
"Good morning Alan, long time no see!"
"Albert..." Allen frowned and looked at Albert, who was greeting him with a bright smile on his face, "Why are you here?"
"I just came back from the Southern Front, and I rushed back with the troops of the Rachel Knights to participate in the military parade." Albert replied, "When I passed by here, I stopped by to visit you."
The Britannia Empire successfully weakened the national power of the Rollin Empire through two large-scale offensives last year and annexed the land of the Rollin Empire.
It is very likely that rebellion will break out in these newly annexed lands, and due to the substantial expansion of territory to the south, the southern front is in urgent need of new adjustments and construction.
Therefore, not long after last year's "Summer Wind" offensive ended and he returned to Pendragon, Albert, as the leader of the Rachel Knights, rushed back to the southern front and took up command in the south.
Albert has been staying in the south until now and has returned with the troops of the Knights of Rachel to participate in the military parade.
The armored warriors trained by Allen himself shined brilliantly in the "Xia Feng" offensive, which made Go Zewen very satisfied with Allen and the armored warriors he trained.
Since the end of the "Xia Feng" offensive, Ge Zewen ordered the expansion of the armored warriors from the original 3,000 to 4,000, leaving Allen to continue to be responsible for training the armored warriors.
Just like Albert has stayed in the south until now, Allen has also stayed in this military base on the outskirts of Pendragon until now, training armored warriors until now.
After hearing the word "visit" from Albert's mouth, Allen's expression suddenly became strange.
The originally very cold tone now became slightly softer.
"Why do you come to visit me? I don't know you very well, right?"
"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?" Albert looked at Allen with a strange look on his face, "Aren't we already acquaintances? We fought together in the Rollin Empire, so coming to visit an acquaintance is not the same thing. Is it a normal thing?"
"...I am a Frank, a surrendered general of the Frank Empire..."
"So what." Albert waved his hand generously, "In our army, there are many generals from various countries. Your status as a general does not prevent me from being friends with you. Let’s not talk about this for now, why are you still here leisurely? Aren’t your armored warriors also going to participate in this military parade? Why don’t you leave quickly?”
In this military parade, not only soldiers from the three major knight orders participated in the review, but also soldiers from other armies participated in the review.
For example: the emperor's personal guards and Allen's armored warriors.
Allen's armored warriors were also qualified to participate in the military parade. Gozevin asked Allen to bring the best one thousand armored warriors to participate in this military parade.
"I am very close to Pendragon." Allen replied, "So there is no need to leave in a hurry. I plan to wait until tomorrow before leading the troops to Pendragon."
"Oh, that's it. Ah, by the way, I almost forgot about this. Here, give me this."
"What's this?"
Allen looked at the bag that Albert just handed over with a puzzled look on his face.
"This is a specialty of the south. I specially bring it back to give it to every acquaintance of mine to taste."
"Tasting? Is this food?"
"Well, that's right, open it and take a look."
Stab - Allen easily tore open the bag in his hand, revealing pieces of yellow stuff inside.
"What is this..." Allen picked up a piece and put it under his nose and smelled it, "It has a strange smell..."
"This is dried mango." Albert introduced.
"Dried mango?"
"Well, to put it simply, it is a specially prepared food from mango, a fruit unique to the south.
"
"Mango...I have never eaten mango."
"Then Alan, you should have a good taste of this dried mango. Come on, try a piece first."
"……good."
Allen put the piece of dried mango he had just grabbed into his mouth and started chewing it.
While chewing the piece of dried mango in his mouth, Allen's eyes gradually lit up.
Looking at Allen's current expression, Albert laughed "hehehe" and said, "How is it? It tastes good, doesn't it?"
"Well, it's very good."
After saying that, Allen grabbed another piece of dried mango and put it into his mouth.
"...Thank you...for giving me a package of dried mangoes, Albert. I will eat it up with gratitude."
"Yeah." Albert smiled, "Please taste it slowly."
…
…
That afternoon.
15:05 pm.
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Gozevin's study.
"Father."
"Gail, you're here."
In the huge study room, there were only Ge Zewen and Gale and his son at this time.
Since last year, Gale has rarely left the imperial capital and gone to other places for training.
Instead, he stayed in the imperial capital, helping his father with government affairs and at the same time better supervising Ilsa's studies.
In fact, to better supervise Ilsa's studies - this was the main reason why Gale chose to stay in the imperial capital.
Just now, while Gale was dealing with today's government affairs, he was suddenly called into the study by his father.
"Father, did you ask me to come over? What's the matter?"
"It's nothing important." Ge Zewen said with a smile, "I just had a whim and suddenly wanted to inspect the military camps where the three major knights are currently stationed in the suburbs. I wanted to ask you if you want to go with me."
"Inspecting...the military camp?" Gale frowned.
"That's right."
Ge Zewen nodded.
"The Rachel Knights finally arrived in the Imperial Capital just now, and the reviewing troops of the three major knights are now gathered on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital."
"I just suddenly realized - I have been the king of a country for so many years, and I have never had a good look at the daily life of these generals who silently guard our country. From this point of view, I, as a king, It seems a little unqualified.”
"So - I really want to see how the military life of the generals of the three major knights is like."
Speaking of this, Gozevin paused and then continued:
"Bring some more meat over there, and while you're inspecting, you can also work for the army."
"Inspection and labor... Since you are going to go, father, I will naturally go with you. I happen to be very curious about the life in the military camp of the generals of the three knights. Father, how many people do you plan to bring for inspection? "
"Gale, you just want to go with me. I plan to travel simply this time." Gozevin replied, "I plan to go there with you, Jacob, Ilsa, and 5 Guards soldiers, a total of 9 people." Inspection.”
"You want to bring Ilsa with you?" Gale raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, it's time to take Ilsa out of the palace to play." Ge Zewen smiled bitterly, "Ilsa hasn't had a good time to relax and have fun for a long time. Take advantage of this opportunity to take Ilsa Sha, please go out and breathe the air outside the palace."
"Gale, don't push Ilsa too hard. I know how you want to train Ilsa to be an excellent master, but Ilsa is still just a child after all."
"Although she is very sensible and has never cried bitterness or tiredness in front of us, she must also be eager to play well like an ordinary child."
After hearing what Gozevin said, Gale fell silent.
After a long moment of silence, Gale nodded.
"...Well, okay. Then take Ilsa with you."
