Chapter 649: Replacing the Crown Prince (End of Volume 5!)
3 months later——
December 15, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Gozavin's bedroom.
It's winter now, and it's already snowing and covered in silver outdoors.
The stoves throughout Gozevin's bedroom kept the whole bedroom warm.
"Jacob...you are here..."
Gozevin, who was lying on the bed, barely opened his eyes and turned his gaze to Jacob, who was now sitting at the head of his bed.
"My disease...it seems...cannot be cured..." The corners of Ge Zewen's mouth raised slightly, revealing a calm smile.
"Stop saying such boring words!"
However, as soon as Gozevin finished speaking, Jacob, who was sitting next to his bedside, yelled impatiently:
"I have already sent for Mr. Theodore! He is already on his way to Pendragon! Mr. Theodore is a famous doctor throughout the country! Those quack doctors before him are completely incomparable! Just wait for him to come, Your minor illness will be cured in no time!”
Ge Zewen turned his head slightly and cast a helpless look at Jacob.
"Jacob...when you lie...at least wipe your tears..."
As soon as Gozevin finished speaking, a few drops of tears rolled down from Jacob's eyes and fell to the ground.
Although Jacob has been trying his best to hide it, no matter how much he hides it, there is still a limit.
Two months ago, news that Ge Zewen was seriously ill leaked.
It turned out that the news that Go Zewen was seriously ill had been leaked, and Jacob simply stopped doing nothing and began to publicly call famous doctors from all over the country.
However, no matter how many doctors came or how many drugs were used, they could only relieve Ge Zewen's pain.
Gozevin's disease has not yet been cured.
Jacob wiped the tears on his face and grabbed Ge Zewen's right hand:
"Don't worry, Gozevin, no matter what, I will cure your illness! Mr. Theodore will arrive at Pendragon soon! A famous doctor like Mr. Theodore will definitely be able to cure you disease!"
"Hahaha..." Gozevin let out a few weak laughs, "Even the palace doctors couldn't cure my illness. Mr. Theodore's arrival probably won't help either."
"No need to be sad, Jacob. As long as people live, they are destined to face birth, old age, sickness and death."
"I am 63 years old this year. It is very rare to live to such an old age. I have devoted my efforts for the country and I am extremely lucky to be able to live to 63 years old. I am already satisfied."
Speaking of this, Gozewen held Jacob's hand instead:
"Jacob, you also need to take care of your body.
You are not young anymore. If I remember correctly, you are 58 years old this year, right? You are no longer young, so you must exercise properly and don’t forget to take supplements. "
"Gozevin..." Jacob choked and was speechless.
Ge Zewen looked at Jacob's face and smiled: "Look carefully now, Jacob, although you are old now, you are still very handsome. There will definitely still be many young girls willing to marry this handsome man like you. Old man, right? He is indeed a handsome man who could be followed by countless girls when he walked on the street."
After saying that, Ge Zewen took out his right hand that was tightly held by Jacob, touched Jacob's wrinkled face, and then said in a joking tone:
"Maybe many people have forgotten it. They only remember that Jacob was an outstanding civil servant. They have forgotten that Jacob first became famous as a military attaché."
"At the age of 17, he stood out among the hundreds of participants in the martial arts tournament and successfully won the championship. He was called the 'Sword Master'."
"At the age of 21, he was awarded the title of Knight of the New Laurel for his outstanding military exploits."
"Then he resigned from the position of knight, abandoned military service and became a civil servant, and began to become famous in the mainland as a civil servant."
"Now that I think about it, it's incredible. An ordinary person like me, who is nothing after taking away my royal status, can actually become close friends with Jacob, a man of both civil and military skills and talent. It's incredible. ”
"I still remember the scene when you came back with your army, and countless girls crowded on the streets just to get a glimpse of your style."
After listening to Gozewen's words, Jacob chuckled a few times:
"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that I was called the 'Sword Master' when I was young. I have almost forgotten what it feels like to hold a sword now."
After reminiscing about the past with Jacob, Ge Zewen showed a satisfied smile.
Ge Zewen put down his hand that had been caressing Jacob's face just now and continued:
"I have no other pursuit in this life, just to make our Britannia Empire rich and powerful... Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Perhaps because he talked too much just now, Ge Zewen's seriously ill body could no longer hold on.
"Ge Zewen! Stop talking! Lie down and rest!" Jacob said hurriedly.
But Gozevin didn't listen to Jacob.
Instead, he braced himself and continued:
"I may not live long...so these days...I have been worried...after my death...the future of the Britannia Empire..."
"I want... the Britannia Empire... to continue to be prosperous and strong..."
"I can't let...the good situation...ruin..."
"I am now... increasingly worried... about handing the empire over to someone who has no humanity... no empathy..."
After that, Gozewen coughed violently again.
"I decided... to do something very bold..."
"Jacob... my... best friend... for the future of the empire... I decided... to pass the throne... to Ilsa!"
"I will make Ilsa... the new crown prince of our Britannia Empire!"

...
"Teacher... save me..."
Ilsa, with tears in her eyes, stretched out her hands that were trembling slightly due to fear and helplessness, and tightly grasped Su Cheng's sleeves.
"I don't want to go out... I don't want to be an emperor... Save me..."
...
"The Holy Hilan Empire has sent 300,000 troops to invade the south!"
...
"120,000 vs. 300,000? This is the first time I've fought a battle with such a huge difference in strength... I really hope this will be my first and last time."
...
"Mr. Humphrey! I need your help! This battle - I need the help of the Imperial Navy! Please join me in writing a joint letter to the central government! Request the central government to dispatch the Imperial Navy to the north to help!"
...
"The Knights of Michael and the Imperial Navy are joining forces... Hehehe , interesting, this kind of joint battle between the navy and the army has never appeared in history. Regardless of success or failure, the battle plan you have drawn up, Mr. Commander, will definitely go down in history!"
......
"How could it be? ! Too fast! Why did winter come so quickly this year!"
......
"Marshal, no one expected that winter would come so quickly this year... The original transportation plan is no longer applicable, and the transportation of baggage is now... completely messed up..."
"Shut up! I didn't call you here to listen to your nonsense!"
Marshal Dominic yelled at the quartermaster in front of him.
"Find a way to send me enough cotton armor and quilts for 300,000 people! Otherwise, do you want my soldiers to use summer equipment and expose their frostbitten skin to fight the Britannians? Don't joke!"
...
"I'll tell you the truth!"
Su Cheng continued to say to the knights gathered in front of him:
"Not only do I want to win this battle! I also want history to remember this battle!"
"I want to let the people of today and the people of the future see it!"
"See how I surrounded and annihilated 300,000 people with 120,000 people!"
"And not only do I want to annihilate the 300,000 Xilan troops in front of me, I will also counterattack! I will lead the troops to the north! Invade the homeland of the Holy Xilan Empire!"
...
"Marshal! This cavalry of the Knights of Michael has broken through five of our formations, but there is no intention to stop! Their target is actually - our main formation!"
"Who is the commander of this cavalry?!" It is impossible to hold Dominic said calmly, "Is it Raymond, the commander of the 1st Army of the Knights of Michael?"
"Well, it seems not! The leader of this cavalry seems to be a little girl! Small! With short brown hair and green eyes! If the information is correct, the commander of this cavalry seems to be Alan, the sister of Su Cheng, the commander of the Knights of Michael!"
...
"The North has a million soldiers! Not a single one of them is a hero!"
...
"El, please..."
Dominic put his hands on El's shoulders, and continued to say to El with a tone that contained a little pleading:
"Now looking at the entire army... no, looking at the whole country, you are the only one who can successfully surprise attack the Avalon Fortress!"
"...I...understand."
El sighed lightly and adjusted the quartermaster uniform on his body:
"I-willing to do my best."
