Chapter 3: A Wedding on the Battlefield

The next morning, on the green field of autumn, the imperial army gathered in formation, and the imperial soldiers standing in the crisp autumn wind were full of energy and resolute as iron, and the 200,000 soldiers who were about to go out and the 300,000 soldiers who would return to the imperial capital did not hear a trace of noise, and stood still like fossils, only to see the blades raised to the sky against the cold light of the autumn forest!

The neat military appearance, the solemn formation, the rock-solid posture, and the morale that is as prosperous as the rainbow through the sun - even I, as their commander, cannot help but admire the military might of the Imperial Army, and I am even more proud to have such a majestic and invincible army.

I gazed with satisfaction at these Predators of the Empire, and in a majestic voice proclaimed, "Soldiers! I hereby declare: Our army will march south on the same day to unify the southern continent! ”

"My soldiers! You are all loyal, ambitious, and iron-willed men! You are the glory and pride of the Empire! It is also my glory and pride! I know that you all want to fight, to make a name for yourself and to return home! Don't hide your ideals and ambitions – as you should be! Today, I want to fulfill your wish - I will work with you to create a new history and glory for the Empire! ”

"I will not forget your contributions, and the Empire will not forget your martial arts! On the day of triumphal return to the imperial capital, it is the time when your names will go down in history - I will erect a 'Pillar of Glory' and a 'Monument of Shame' on the main square of the imperial capital, and engrave every name that fought bloodily, bravely killed the enemy, and added glory to the glory of the empire forever on the Pillar of Glory, which will be recited by all generations; At the same time, every stigma that has smeared and brought shame to the empire will always be left on the monument of shame, and will be spit on by hundreds of generations! ”

"Soldiers, you are the sword and shield of the empire, and I am also the sword and shield! You have built the Great Wall of Steel of the Empire with your shield of flesh and blood, defeating the invaders and fearing the rebels! Even a famous general as Carlos will hate the battlefield in front of you! You have also used the sword of justice to recover the Eastern Capital, retake the Northland, and expedition to the desert, causing James and Aruton to ambush and make the barbarians bow down and all the people submit! ”

"Today, you will use your sword to cut through the filthy countercurrent of the shameful traitors of the Empire, and defend the country! You will let the horses go and let the Iron Horsemen of the Empire connect the Saint-Lunnan Continent into the vast frontier of the Empire! Your loud war song will pierce the sky and resound throughout the universe, reaching the farthest south of the earth, proclaiming to heaven and earth the prestige of the empire and the prestige of my majesty! The great opportunity of history has come to you, and the immortal deeds are before you, as long as you ride your warhorses across the rebel cities, cut off the heads of the enemy soldiers with the sword of the hot-blooded man, and drink the flesh and blood of the enemy, you will share the highest glory on the earth! I look forward to the glorious light of your body! ”

"Glory Light!" "Imperial Light!" "Swear to eliminate all rebellions and protect my country!" "Follow Your Majesty and be determined to the Quartet!" The warriors kept raising their blades and swore an oath of immortal will and spirit; The excited shouts of the warriors stirred the wind and clouds, shook the earth, and gathered into the most majestic, loudest and strongest notes in heaven and earth!

※※※※※

When everyone's excitement subsided, I looked at each other and smiled, and after she bowed her head slightly, I said in a solemn voice: "I hereby announce to the world - I hereby declare to the world that I am hereby solemnly married, the Emperor of the Falatis, Alexander St. Karen Dominis Meinster Falatis, and the Pope of the Gods Esafnia St. Bephaia hereby officially swears to be married, with heaven and earth as the basis, the sun and the moon as the light, and the eyes of the soldiers of our empire as witnesses!" 29 November 1901 in the Saint-Lun calendar......"

Then, I turned to smile at Ishafnia, who had become a little dazed and cowardly, and said, "Elsa, we are finally husband and wife......

"Yes, Alex, my husband!" A beautiful smile bloomed on Elsa's face, and there was a firm promise and commitment in her soft and calm voice.

I put a crystal ring on the ring finger of Elsha's right hand, and said affectionately: "The 'Blue Ring' from the elves, the blue of the sky and the sea, the blessing of the king of the elves for love, the precepts are: vast, far-reaching, pious and rational - it represents the supreme love of faith between heaven and earth!" Since then, love and faith have gone hand in hand, loyalty and oath have never been abandoned! ”

After saying that, I hugged Aisha's delicate body into my arms, blocked everyone's eyes with my cloak, and kissed her deeply.

Anastomosis...... Kiss ...... A faint red cloud gently floated across Xiu's cheeks, Aisha's originally calm and pale face finally appeared a touching and shy, her chest and abdomen rose and fell excitedly, and Xiu Tong, who was full of fire and tenderness, couldn't help but wander back and forth between my face and the ring in my hand, and finally picked up the blue ring in her hand in a daze, and she was crazy for a while......

I was also intoxicated by the charming atmosphere of heart-to-heart, hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers were also silent at this moment, as if no one was willing to destroy the beautiful and touching warm picture of this scene, as if only I and Aisha, a couple who were looking at each other in the world......

When I came to my senses, I inadvertently saw Sasha on the side looking at Aisha and Aisha with envy and sadness......

I couldn't respond to the little girl's feelings, so I could only say to Elsa wholeheartedly and without apologies: "I'm sorry, Elsa! Failed to give you a banging wedding...... No wedding dresses and flowers, no guests and feasts, no warm toasts and pastor greetings......"

"Needless to say...... I'm sorry," Aisha replied with a jade finger to my lips, shaking her head, "here is the vastest sky and earth as our wedding venue, with the largest and most enthusiastic guests to witness to us, with the most sincere wishes from hundreds of thousands of Imperial warriors, and with me, the best priest praying for my wedding, and by my side is you, the best man in the world—this is the most important wedding you have ever made for me!" ”

"Who said there was no toast? It's the warmest toast in the world! ”

A hearty laugh rang out from Memphis, and he handed me and Aisha a glass of wine, and then turned to the Imperial soldiers and shouted, "Sons of the Empire, let us raise a toast to the beautiful marriage between Your Majesty and His Highness the Pope!" ”

I don't know when Memphis has given a glass of wine to each of the Imperial soldiers present—this is the rare care of the rough Memphis.

"My best brother, Pope, bless you!"

Memphis clinked glasses with me and Aisha and drank them all, and Aisha and I smiled and toasted.

At this time, the soldiers of the empire also raised their glasses and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty!" "Long live Her Royal Highness!" "Long live the Empire!"

Through this wedding on the battlefield, the passion and blood of the imperial soldiers also boiled to the extreme!

※※※※※

After the simplest and most spectacular wedding between me and Elsa, Memphis immediately led the army back to the imperial capital, and I began to lead my division south, before leaving, I handed a "Polar Ring" to Memphis and said: "The 'Polar Ring' representing the iron-blooded oath is a symbol of fortitude, bravery, loyalty, and righteousness, and the meaning is 'loyal heart'. ”

Memphis took it and said in a resolute voice: "The last general will never disappoint His Majesty's knowledge and expectations of me!" ”

Then he said to me and Aisha: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Pope - no, Your Royal Highness, I wish you a happy marriage! ”

After speaking, he turned around and led his division north, and never looked back.

After Memphis left, I took Aisha's hand and sent her to the car - although I was worried that Aisha's weak constitution would not be able to withstand the difficult military life, and I once planned to let her go back to the imperial capital with Memphis, and put her in the imperial palace first, after all, life in the imperial capital is far more comfortable than the days of war, but I still can't resist Aisha's insistence.

I'm not a soft-hearted person, and even though I've intellectually told myself what is best for Elsa, as long as I meet the smile and determination in Aisha's eyes, I can't stick to my original intention anymore, so I have to reluctantly fulfill her wish. Fortunately, Elsa's car was carefully designed by the Holy See, and the four white horses pulling the cart were extraordinary sweat and blood horses, and the coachman who drove the horse was a good hand strictly selected by the Holy See, so even if the imperial army marched fast, it could keep up, and Aisha sat in this carriage, even in the galloping high-speed march, she could walk on the ground safely. Moreover, with the escort of the Thirteen Golden-clad Cardinal Sects, even if he encounters a dangerous battle situation, he does not worry about Elsa's safety.

Although Esafniya is gentle and easy-going on the surface, she has her own opinions, this is a strange woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. As the most powerful religion in the world, she has all the qualities of a denominational leader—persistence in tolerance, determination in gentleness, majesty in grace...... And she has an innate majesty that does not need to be particularly strong, but she will not use her status and power to force others to accept her wishes, but use a gentle way to make others willingly follow her wishes...... The more I get in touch, the more I can deeply appreciate this unique charm and influence.

When everything was settled, I had time to pay attention to Sasha, who was preoccupied.

Ever since the time I witnessed my wedding to Elsa, the little girl had been a little sullen and just clinging to me like a fart - she followed me wherever I went, just wouldn't talk to me, and seemed to be sulking at me.

"Sasha, you're beautiful today! Like a mature woman! I smiled at her and complimented her with a deliberate flattery.

This is also my heartfelt words, Sasha, who has changed out of her male attire and has been carefully dressed today, is indeed eye-catching: she wears a set of elven clan's fuchsia tight-fitting short suit of battle armor, which fully sets off her delicate porcelain ice muscles and jade bones, mature peaks and proud delicate curves, and her long green hair is pulled back but there are still a few strands of hair hanging lightly on her chest, which adds a bit of provocative meaning to her beauty; The tight-fitting armor wraps the wonderful carcass, but it exposes the sexy **, fragrant shoulders, Hao arms, small navel and slender round thighs, and a slender and two-foot slender sheath purple sword with a slender waist is pinned to the slender waist, swaying lightly with the swing of the plump buttocks, and a small dagger with silver light and cold is hung on the thighs - enough to make the lustful man's heart tremble, and he immediately realized that this is a rose with thorns.

Although Sasha's dress is not only eye-catching but also practical, looking both heroic and sexy, I still can't help but be slightly angry in my heart: Isn't she deliberately tempting to commit a crime and want to tease me to the point of burning myself? This little girl who loves to be weird!

"Hmph, it's up to you! I, Sasha, am a peerless and glamorous elven beauty! Although Sasha deliberately showed a dismissive expression of disdain for my compliment, her tone was beautiful, and there was a smile in her eyes.

It seems that she is angry, a little girl is a little girl, what a deception! Thinking like this, I didn't show it, just nodded in response: "Yes, yes!" Beautiful elf princess, would you like to ride with me? ”

"Ulla!" Sasha shouted happily.

Then he immediately happily ran to the side of the mythical beast "Thunderbe", and the supernatural "Thunderbe" also lowered his head and licked her face with his tongue to show his welcome to this new lady, which made Sasha hold the head of "Thunderbe" and "Gege" laughed coquettishly.

After enough trouble, Sasha turned around and smiled sweetly at me, "Thank you, Brother Alex!" You're so nice! I've wanted to sit on the 'Thunder Department' for a long time! ”

"If you rejoice!"

I smiled and stepped onto the "Thunder Department", then bent down and put my arms around Sasha's slender waist, and with a slight lifting of my hand, I sent her to the back of the "Thunder Department" and sat down in front of me, and then, I officially issued an order to the whole army: "All the army go!" Target - Haynes! ”

The generals who accompanied me this time included Drink, Hoffmann, Sanchez, Ezinaha (deputy commander of the Western Army, the original deputy commander Lister was promoted to commander for his outstanding performance in the Battle of Tengahara and the capture of Constantineburg, while Memphis no longer held the position of regimental commander), 40,000 heavy cavalry (with the original Carlos's "Imperial Tiger Legion" as the main force), 100,000 light cavalry (of which 50,000 were Imperial troops, 50,000 were Holy See troops skilled in the magic of holy light), 50,000 light and heavy infantry, and 10,000 archers, In addition, the 1,500 vampire warriors mobilized by Derlink formed this mighty southern expedition army of more than 200,000 people.

During the march, Dresstser rode up to me and whispered, "Big pervert, I have something to ask you!" ”

Sasha, who heard Drinker call me a "big pervert", looked at the vampire girl with a puzzled expression.

"Lovely little elven sister, tell you the true face of that pervert in the future! In short, you have to be vigilant, be careful not to be deceived, and don't let your brother Alex eat it! Drinker said in the tone of a messenger of justice who protects vulnerable animals.

"If only he would like to eat me......" Sasha replied faintly, looking at me with resentment.

Seeing Sasha's hopeless expression, Drinker shook his head helplessly.

"Miss Count, what's the matter?" I didn't want to dwell on this matter and immediately asked.

Sure enough, Drink's attention returned to business, and she changed her serious expression and said, "What location do you plan to choose to meet with Liuli, Belle, Ruoxing, Casta and others?" ”

During the deployment of this southern expedition, I issued an order to the "Seven Colored Rainbow" troops remaining in the barbarian territory through the vampire people of Derlink, among which "Red Storm", "Purple Thunder" and "Green Aura" have been transferred to the kingdom of Dotir with Vivien, and the other four have been stationed in Kashgart City since I arrived with the barbarians. If you add these four troops, the total strength of my expedition this time will exceed 250,000!

In recent years, due to the continuous strengthening of the strength of the "seven-colored rainbows," all of them have the ability to fight alone, and they no longer need to work together to cope with various crises without having to go out at the same time as before. In terms of personnel, I have also made some adjustments accordingly: first, Hugh Belmont and Drinker serve as the deputy commanders of the "Seven Colored Rainbow" respectively, and no longer serve as the commanders of the "Red Storm" and "Cyan Streamer"; Second, Matthew, the former commander-in-chief of the imperial capital's city defense, was transferred to the commander of the "Red Storm", and his post was concurrently held by the deputy commander of the world's soldiers and horses and the imperial marshal Memphis, who was dismissed from the post of commander of the Western Army; The third is that Deys Isabelle is the commander of the "Cyan Streamer", and the vampire troops in the "Cyan Streamer" are withdrawn and maintain relative independence - not only as a direct force of Drink, but also can be incorporated into the "Cyan Streamer" to accept Belle's command if necessary.

In this way, the crisis of self-respect of the seven generals, especially those with extraordinary ambition and low loyalty like Hugh Belmont, was avoided - although his status was elevated and he became the left deputy commander of the seven divisions, the commanders of the seven divisions were all generals who were absolutely loyal to me, and he could no longer even directly command the strongest of the seven divisions, the "Red Storm", and also eliminated the danger of him turning the "Red Storm" into a private army loyal to him, and there was a checks and balances between Drinker and him, In addition, I did not set up a separate post of commander-in-chief of the Seventh Ministry, but I held it myself, so that the military power of the Seventh Ministries was firmly controlled in my hands, and without my summons, it would have been impossible for Xiu to mobilize the Seventh Ministries to do anything unsubordinate.

Xiu is a highly valued talent, and I especially admire his vision and talent beyond that of a pure military general, but he is too conceited, and people who are too conceited sometimes fail to see the boundaries of their own abilities, and if they are given too much power and their selfish desires are inflated to the point of directly challenging my authority or even endangering the security of the empire - this is definitely not what I want to see. Not even Drinker, who had insight into my mind, objected to my approach. At that time, the vampire girl simply said: "A real famous sword must be equipped with a proper scabbard, and it should only be unsheathed when the sword owner tells it to be unsheathed, and the rest of the time should be in the scabbard - this is the duty of a sword." ”

Thinking of this, I shook my head and said to Drink: "There is no need to determine the location of the division in advance, so as not to affect the movement of our army and miss the timing - they are advancing much faster than us, and they will definitely be able to reach the battlefield before our army meets the enemy, and with your vampire people leading them, they will always find the location of our army!" Moreover, the 'Seven Colored Rainbows' themselves have their own tricks, they don't need to fight in coordination with our army, so they don't care when they arrive! ”

"Now that you have the whole plan, you don't have to worry about it in vain."

Drinker smiled, and suddenly lowered his voice and said to me viciously, "You command your Imperial Historians, especially the Vydigal Guys!" Absolutely—absolutely not to write into the history books what happened between you and me on the battlefield last time! Otherwise you look good! ”

"I have no right to influence the work of the historians, and it is their duty to be faithful to the historical facts." I laughed wickedly.

"You ......" Drinker turned blue with anger, but suddenly lost his anger and said calmly, "Then I will write a "Secret History of Alexander the Great" or "History of the Great" to expose your true colors - from when you were a child, you abducted little girls, peeped at women taking baths, and played hooligans in public, to how to steal women's underwear, prostitute ** women, fall into the grass, cover up for prostitution and gambling, sell spring palace pictures, murder and arson, rape and plunder, do all evil, and do all kinds of heinous ......"

"You're slandering ......" this time it was my turn to turn blue.

"Hmph, if you're not satisfied, I can write more wonderfully - say that you are actually a bisexual pervert, as early as when you were in Haynes, you coerced Van Dyke and others to have an unclear relationship with you, and then they rebelled angrily because they couldn't bear your torture, and when you became emperor, you even intensified your efforts to recruit male favorites, and wantonly played with those male officials and subordinates large and small, and even Aruton and James also had a leg with you, only because of the unclear triangle relationship that they turned into hatred because of love, and turned into hatred...... Not only are you a fetishist, voyeur, sexual pervert, rapist repeat offender, but you're also a masochist who loves to be hanged upside down, tied up, dripping wax, whipped, stabbed...... I believe that the commoners of the empire will be very interested in these secrets of their beloved Emperor Majesty, and then the Imperial Capital Publishing House will rush to publish them, and people will rush to circulate them, and the streets will talk about them, and I will get rich because of it, and then I will publish sequels, side stories, prequels, postquels, side stories, and hardcover, hardcover, enhanced, deluxe editions, ......"

"Enough! You're not done......" I said in a cold sweat.

"Of course it's not over! I haven't gotten to the point yet - there's more to come! ”

"Drink, I'm afraid of you! I grant your request......"

"It's a shame that I won't be able to write my book...... Well, I thought about it, just change the main character, it's decided! The main character is replaced by Christfan! ”

"Why do you have to write about this kind of subject? Isn't it possible to change the other? ”

"No way, it's all about sales, and now readers just like the tone of men and men, and writers also have writers' difficulties......"

"Drinker ......"

"What's the matter? Don't bother me, I'm thinking ......"

"Sometimes I can't help but wonder if you really are a woman if you dare to say these restrictive words......"

"Your Majesty, I've decided to change my mind, or let you be the protagonist is more appealing......"

"Don't...... I can see clearly, you are definitely a real beauty - both external beauty and spiritual beauty, simply the best among beauties, a model among ladies! ”

"Of course!"

"Well, even if it's a woman, it's a man among women...... Man's mother-in-law......"

"Your Majesty, what man are you talking about? I didn't hear it clearly when it was so vague......"

"I said you are a woman among women, a beauty among women...... And she is more capable than men, the so-called women do not let the eyebrows be shaved, and they can be called the best among women and the spokesperson of beautiful women......"

As a result, in the history of the Empire, Alexander the Great and the Imperial Retainer Drinker Ambrose have always maintained a pure relationship between monarchs and subjects, and have never broken through the boundaries between men and women......

※※※※※

On December 18, 1901, when our army reached the military town of Sadeya, a major military town in Nalan County, Drinker suggested that the Imperial Army take a short break here before continuing its southward advance. I thought about it for a while, thinking that the soldiers had been tired physically and mentally from the high-speed march in recent months, and that reluctantly advancing would further damage the vitality of the soldiers, and that proper rest would be beneficial, so I adopted her advice.

Located at the northern end of the Horsman Plain, at the junction of the Neo-Phratis Empire and the Henes regime, Sadeya was one of the most important military towns in the southern part of the Empire. The Celestial River and the Galaxy River pass through the east and west ends of this plain respectively, and the originally parallel channels of the two rivers begin to narrow inward, flowing through the entire Horsman Plain and then joining the "Arm Bay of the God of Beauty" in Henes.

The Heathman Plain from the north to the central part of the region is also known as the "Two River Basin", is the famous land of fish and rice in the southern continent, the land here is fertile, the climate is pleasant, and the abundant water resources of the two rivers are nourished, so not only rich in grain, other products are also quite rich, so since the beginning of the establishment of the Faradis Empire, it has been one of the most important "granaries" of the empire. Today, the "Two Rivers Valley" is divided into two, with part of the northern end of the Horsman Plain belonging to the Empire, and the central part of the Horsman Plain being owned by Etiria.

The southern plains of Horthman used to be shared by the former Dotir Kingdom and the Becca Shelurista Alliance, and due to the unclear ownership, the two countries were in constant dispute, and even the empire was interested in it. Historically, the two countries have fought countless tragic wars on the southern plains, with more than seven large-scale battles, the most recent of which was instigated by the Empire - the king of the Kingdom of Dotil and the ambassador of the alliance were assassinated by the empire and blamed on the two countries respectively (in fact, it was planned by the conspiracy of Ettiria, the fourth princess of the empire at the time), which triggered the revenge-hungry Elmit III to declare war on the alliance in anger.

The result of this war was the loss of the vitality of the Alliance, which directly led to the fall of Dotil, and the balance of power between the three great powers was disrupted, and then the Empire invaded the entire plain, connecting Holsman to the full territory of the Empire, and Haynes was forced to lose her independent status and become a county of the Empire.

Another indirect impact of this war is to completely subvert the peaceful life of an ignorant teenager in Haynes, ruthlessly throwing the upside-down teenager into the torrent of history, which has since set off earth-shaking changes in his life, spurring him from a wandering teenager who drifts with the tide and is at the mercy of fate to gradually grow into a strong man who dominates the times......

In the heyday of Ettiria, which belonged to the era of the most glorious Carlos "Imperial Tiger Army", the Haynes regime possessed a total of seventeen counties of the empire and included the entire Heatman Plain, and the arrogance was very loud for a while. However, in the Battle of Sonx, due to the change of commander in front of the Ettiria Formation, all the 100,000 elite divisions of the "Imperial Tiger" were annihilated by the Imperial Army, and after the Battle of Sonks, the Haynes regime turned from prosperity to decline, the military strength was seriously frustrated, and the national strength was even more empty, and the Empire took the opportunity to regain the power of Northern Holman. Although the later Carlos "New Imperial Tiger Army" had a noisy moment, not only occupied the northern "two river basins" again, but also fought all the way to the southern suburbs of the imperial capital, directly approaching the Gyeonggi stronghold, its territory is known as the 33 counties, and there was a so-called "Southern Dynasty Zhongxing" trend in the history of the Henes regime, but this is only a return to the light, with the defeat of the Carlos army, the Henes regime also ended her last glory, and now it is the end of the crossbow.

On the third day of the recuperation, Drinker whimsically held a large bonfire in the camp, summoning the entire army of non-duty soldiers to participate, including me, Esafnia, Sasha, Hoffman, Ezinaha, and the golden-clad cardinals of the Cult of the Gods.

At the party, Drinker disregarded the ban in the army and distributed a small amount of light wine to the soldiers. After entering the party in the midst of Sasha's beautiful elven dance and the vampire's strange fire dance, Drinker suddenly came over and toasted me.

"Miss Count, it's rare! Could it be that the sun has risen in the west - have you changed sex? Will you take the initiative to show favor to me? I said suspiciously, holding up my glass.

Drinker picked up the wine glass and touched it with me vigorously, and in the crisp sound of the wine glass, she said with a clever smile: "Happy birthday, big pervert!" ”

Then he lifted his toes, approached my face, kissed me lightly on the lips like a dragonfly, and then jumped away like a gust of wind, stood still and looked directly at me with his hands behind his back, and smiled: "This is a birthday present!" ”

I touched my lips with my fingers, the girl's sweet breath still left a faint fragrance in my teeth and cheeks, but my heart was filled with something warm, I was stunned for a while, and then I said movingly: "Drink, thank you!" I've forgotten it myself, it's hard for you to remember my birthday......"

The vampire girl suddenly stopped smiling, and seemed to feel the ambiguous feelings between us, so she suddenly felt uneasy in her heart, but her eyes softened.

"I also have a gift for you......" I remembered something, quickly took out a crystal ring and handed it to her, and said gently, "'Black Ring', the precept is 'mysterious love', which has the meaning of 'mysterious and deep, difficult and dark, sublime and robust, and gentle flame burning in the cold night'. I sent it to you, not expecting you to wear it, but hoping you would cherish it – this is a little bit of my heart. ”

After Drinker took it, he hesitated, but put it on the ring finger of his right hand, and tried to explain something in a disdainful tone: "Don't get me wrong, accepting your gift doesn't mean anything!" Miss Ben just thought that this ring was right for my style, and this little thing was easy to lose on my body, so I had to wear it on my hand, and it happened that only this finger would fit...... Don't think that giving a small gift will bind my heart! ”

Although her tone was tough, her expression was very happy, and the flush on her face and the burning flow in her deep pupils did not know if it was reflected by the bonfire or a reaction to mood swings......

Although she seemed a little out of order, I didn't break it, but said: "I have no intention of restraining you in anything, your body and mind are always free, including your love ......"

At this time, Ishafnia, Sasha and the generals, who learned that it was my birthday, also came to toast me.

Although Aisha only tasted it because she was overwhelmed by alcohol, she also showed the happiness and sweetness of being able to celebrate my birthday, and her warm tone was full of strong feelings: "Husband, congratulations! I hope that all your birthdays in the future, Elsa will not miss them...... I pray that you will walk hand in hand through this life, if there is any life in this life......"

Although Aisha and I are nominally husband and wife, we don't have a close skin-to-skin relationship, and we have treated each other with courtesy these days, and I haven't done anything to transgress it, so she is still perfect to this day. It's not that I don't have desires and desires for her—no one can help but have the desire and desire to take her into her arms, untie her clothes, and love her wantonly; It's not that I don't have a chance because of the march - there will always be a chance to kiss Fangze when I travel day and night, it's just because of her noble and holy temperament that I can't help but feel ashamed of myself, and I don't dare to blaspheme easily......

Tonight, Elsa finally said to me something that I had never said before, how could I not be intoxicated? I never thought that at night shrouded in the shadow of war, the windy battlefield company camp would let me regain that long-lost romantic feeling......

Finally, Aiznaha led the Imperial soldiers to raise their glasses and congratulated me in unison: "Long live Your Majesty!" We will take the city of Haynes as a birthday gift to your majesty! ”

I waved to the soldiers, smiled at each other, and then put my arm around Elsa's woven shoulder, and silently smiled at the most burning bonfire in the largest clearing in the center of the tent - since now, Drinker and Sasha have danced hand in hand in the bright light......

Tonight, you are so romantic and beautiful......

※※※※※

On December 21, 1901, I ordered the whole army to be encamped, and after leaving the military town of Sadeya, the Imperial Army continued to advance southward, rapidly moving into the central part of the Horthman Plain, the southern part of the "Two Rivers", which was already the sphere of influence of the Ettiria Haynes regime.

At this time, what appeared in front of me was the banner of the enemy's army!

Ettiria's army appeared on the steppes of the "Two Rivers Valley" and took up an active position to invite battle—and a great battle of the "Battle of the Two Rivers" began much earlier than I expected......
