Chapter 249: The Old Man Reunited
Three days later will be the thirtieth anniversary of Charles XVI's accession to the throne. www.biquge.info If the celebration on the anniversary was a sumptuous court meal, then the hunt could be considered a small picnic before the dinner.
The hunt took place at the Red Bull Ridge Hunting Grounds, about thirty kilometers away from the city of Ridmar, and although the Red Bull Ridge had a word for a ridge, it was actually just a collective term for a hill.
Densely vegetated, intertwined with forests and plains, it is a good place for many birds and animals to live, so it was enclosed as a royal hunting ground for a hundred years, and many jackals, tigers and leopards were raised in it for His Majesty the Emperor and members of the royal family to spend their leisure time.
After a two-hour march, the hunting force came to Red Bull Ridge.
The scale of this hunt was huge, and the number of people involved was equally large, and roughly it was estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of people.
Thousands of elite knights in full armor spread out to form a protective ring around the perimeter.
His Majesty the Emperor, the Prince, and a handful of Imperial Ministers were in the center of the procession, while the Empress and his Lady and the Princesses were among the dozens of carriages behind the Emperor.
On the left of His Majesty the Emperor were other civil and military generals, and on the right were in addition to the young talents of the Empire, there were some members of the mission who came to watch the ceremony, and Leo, who was the envoy of the Church, was naturally among them.
"It's nice air." Leo stretched long on his horse.
Although he was scarred by the black-clothed killer yesterday, thanks to some kind of healing medicine brought by the third adjudicator, Leo woke up to find that he was already in good condition except for the torn tiger's mouth.
Therefore, at this moment, Leo can only hold the reins with his right hand because of the bandage on the palm of his left hand, and the rest of the place is no different from a healthy person.
This hunt was obviously different from a march, but a recreational hunt, so the speed of the large army was not slow, so that Leo, who was wounded on his hand, could not only ride his horse with great ease, but also have time and leisure to look at the scenery and people around him.
Since almost all of the important figures of the Spanny Empire were gathered here this time, security was naturally a top priority.
The Spany Empire dispatched two ace knights to escort the hunt this time, including 3,000 cavalry in red armor and well-groomed military appearance, which were fan-shaped and scattered on both sides to escort them, and it was the Scarlet Knights who had dealt with Leo several times.
In addition to the Scarlet Knights on the periphery, there are also two thousand knights in silver armor near His Majesty the Emperor in the inner circle, all of them are full of spirit, and their momentum looks even better than the Scarlet Knights, it is the Silver Wing Knights personally commanded by the famous Imperial General Herman.
When Leo saw these Scarlet Knights, he couldn't help but think of Emmanuel: "Emanuel was seriously injured to me that day, and it is estimated that these few days should not be enough for him to recover." Out of thin air, he missed a chance to behave in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is estimated that he will definitely be half angry when he thinks about it while lying in bed. Thinking of Emmanuel's depressed appearance, Leo couldn't help but smile.
Then Leo turned his gaze to the center of the large army, which was naturally where the most honorable Emperor Majesty was located, and Leo was only a few hundred meters away from His Majesty the Emperor, so it was still relatively easy to find the figure of this Supreme Spanny Empire.
His Majesty the Emperor today wears a bright red robe, a symbol of strength and glory, and is the most revered color in the Empire. Therefore, not only was the Imperial Palace named the Red Fort, but even His Majesty's imperial robe was also red. Crafted by dozens of the Empire's top tailors, this royal robe is a perfect foil to the king, making His Majesty Charles XVI look extremely majestic.
To the left and right of Charles XVI was a military general in golden armor and a civil servant in white robes. It was the first time Leo had seen both of them, but judging from the fact that the two of them were able to accompany the emperor, it was clear that they were both important ministers of the Empire.
"Do you know who those two are?" Leo stretched out his hand and pointed at the one beside His Majesty the Emperor, and asked Morata, who was beside him. Although the Imperial Empire allowed Leo, a church emissary, to bring no more than a hundred followers to participate in this hunt, Leo only brought Morata and Adjudicator Three.
Morata followed Leo's finger and looked at the direction of Charles XVI, but Morata had always been his spy on the edge of the empire like Varna City, where could he know such a big man? Just when he was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, someone suddenly broke the siege of Morata: "Dear Bishop, His Majesty the Emperor is surrounded by the two important ministers of our empire, Duke Lian and Prime Minister Paul. β
Leo was slightly stunned when he heard this, not because of the identities of these two people, but because the voice of the person who spoke just now was so familiar.
So Leo immediately turned his head, only to find a tall young nobleman riding side by side with him, looking at him with a smile on his face, it was Leo's old acquaintance, Viscount Juan, Lord of Varna.
"Lord Viscount!" Leo looked at Viscount Juan in surprise: "Why are you here?" β
Viscount Juan smiled and said, "Why can't I be here?" Our Blood Wolf Family isn't so unremarkable. β
"I didn't mean that," Leo defended himself, though he heard the teasing meaning of Viscount Juan's words, and then asked, "I mean, aren't you supposed to be in Varna?" β
"That's all in the past." Viscount Juan laughed and said, "Now I am no longer the lord of the Varna Lord. β
Under Viscount Juan's explanation, Leo finally understood what was going on. You must know that this Viscount Juan has always been young and promising, and he is very much respected by his father, the Marquis of Habs, so he can be sent out to take charge of a viscount alone at a young age. It is precisely because of this importance that since His Majesty the Emperor decided to send a large army to participate in the dispute between the Kingdom of France, the Marquis of Habs immediately recalled Viscount Juan to the city of Ridmar.
Leo suddenly interrupted Viscount Juan's narration: "Lord Viscount, what do you mean by this, do you want to go with the army to France?" β
"That's right." Viscount Juan smiled, his face full of excitement: "A good man is going to make a career on the battlefield, but the empire itself has not started a war for many years, and my father does not agree with me going to overseas colonies, to be honest, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time." β
Leo couldn't help but be dumbfounded, to be honest, Leo had not actually experienced the war himself, but he had witnessed the bloody coup d'Γ©tat that took place not long ago in the capital of the Kingdom of France, Paris.
In that coup d'Γ©tat, the rebels under the rebel King Louis burned and plundered the city, which left a very bad impression on Leo, so Leo was quite disgusted with the war in his heart, so he could not understand why Viscount Juan was so expectant to this war that was destined to be bloody.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly came from not far from the two people who were walking side by side: "A brainless bloodthirsty and reckless man who only knows war!" The voice was extremely sharp and the tone was rather mean, obviously directed at Viscount Juan.
Leo and Viscount Juan, who were talking, were stunned when they heard this, and at the same time turned their heads to look at the source of the voice.
