Heidelberg, the main hall of the Palace of Hermes.

"Your Majesty, this is the battle report that the Legion Elder of the Amakusa Legion has entrusted me to present. After a series of battles, the Orc offensive has been completely contained by our army. The battle is currently stalemate due to the colder weather and logistical provisions, but the Legion Commander assures that once we have enough supplies for the Shock, we will launch a larger attack on the orcs before the cold sets in, and drive them out of Zimbwe Province once and for all. Therefore, it is necessary for the empire to immediately allocate 100,000 tons of grain, 10,000 magic crystals, 20,000 war horses, and 5 million arrows of various kinds to the front line...... It is hoped that this batch of supplies can be allocated as much as possible, and if it arrives too late, I am afraid that the weather will turn cold, and it will be difficult to send troops. ”

After a middle-aged nobleman with a somewhat oily look on his face read the last paragraph of the report aloud, he politely gave an impeccable aristocratic salute to Fei Wenlie XVIII, who was sitting on the throne.

Fei Wenlie XVIII, who was sitting on the throne, was very calm, without any expression on his face, and pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Earl, for the front-line soldiers' battles, I thank them on behalf of the Empire, and thank you Legion Commander for his superb command art to stop the barbarian orcs from ravaging the territory of the Empire at will. However, as you know about the situation of the empire, providing so many material people at once needs to be transferred from different places, and time is necessary. You step down first, this matter will have a result. ”

……

The Imperial Study of the Palace of Hermes.

At this time, the eighteenth Emperor Fei Wenlie and the emperor of His Royal Highness just now were like two people, and his face was very gloomy. The few important ministers of the empire sitting below him were apprehensive, and every time His Majesty's gaze fell on someone, it would cause a shudder involuntarily.

Finally, the gaze of the Eighteenth Emperor Fei Wenlie fell on a sinister and cunning face, and a deep voice came out of his mouth: "Marquis of Hoss, I believe you can give me a satisfactory answer?" ”

Berenny. Hoss was originally in charge of the police department of the Ministry of Justice, but later won the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor, and was promoted not only to the rank of Marquis, but also to the position of Inspector General in charge of intelligence. Berenny. Hoss has always been known for his ruthlessness. Because of his meticulous mind and amazing analytical ability, after his inauguration, he solved a lot of troubles for the eighteenth emperor of Fei Wenlie. And with his ability, he really saved himself a lot of trouble. Basically, His Majesty the Emperor was satisfied with his work...... Except this time.

Hearing the obviously dissatisfied question of His Majesty the Emperor. Berenny. Hoss stood up in fear. The head was lowered to his chest, and then he reported: "Your Majesty, the current war is indeed on the front line of Salem City, but what is going on. Due to the complicated situation in the theater of operations. It is impossible to grasp it for a while. But one thing is for sure. The Marquis of Bell, led by the Cordillera, has led his main force deep into the rear of the orc army. According to the minister's speculation, the orc army has not moved so far. It is possible that it has something to do with the actions of Lord Marquis Bell. ”

"Speculation? Is that the news that is not ready yet? Who ever proudly said to me, 'I am the eye of His Majesty the Emperor, and my eyes will be on every piece of land in the empire'? The voice was a few degrees lower again, and Fivinlie XVIII was visibly annoyed.

"Minister...... Damn it! "Burenny. Hoss was already sweating profusely.

Frevinel XVIII slowly stood up, paced slowly, and stopped at Berenni. Behind him, he patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "How can I punish you, dear Marquis of Hoss, you, in charge of intelligence and surveillance, can be said to be loyal." And the Lords I have entrusted with important tasks, you hold the most central power in the whole of Otiga, and I absolutely believe in your ability and loyalty. Just ......"

Fei Wenlie XVIII's brows were deeply locked, his face was worried, and he said worriedly: "It's just that there has always been an ominous premonition in my heart recently, which has made me unstable recently. This is something that has never been seen since I ascended the throne, and does it portend unprecedented difficulties for the Empire? ”

"However, according to the information that the minister has, there is indeed chaos in the rear of the orc army, if the tactics of Lord Marquis Bell are successful, maybe the orc army is very likely to withdraw, or they will be eager to fight and take the initiative to initiate, even if the Amakusa army wants to delay the battle, it will not be able to do it. Therefore, the minister's construction is to study and study the material allocation report of the Amakusa Legion first, and no matter what the result is, it will be beneficial to the empire. ”

"Well, I hope so, I hope I'm just guessing, and it's better not to make any trouble," muttered Fivinel XVIII.

Sit in Berenny. Horse's right head of Messen. Lu Suo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has been worried, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has worked hard to govern the country, and the national strength has been greatly enhanced. ”

Frederick XVIII sighed noncommittally, and then turned to the first military minister on the opposite left, Sexter. Tucker asked, "Have the emergency forces in the Alps been dispatched?" ”

This once military minister of the empire who had achieved great military achievements has been hollowed out of his body by the extravagant life of the imperial capital, but he must not be rude in front of His Majesty. Tucker coughed dryly twice, straightening his once firm chest. In a low voice, he said, "Yes, Your Majesty." The three Knights of the Guards had already set off a week ago and were expected to reach Vannal within a week. ”

Fivinlie XVIII sighed as if relaxed, and muttered, "A week? Let's hope nothing happens this week. ”

Slightly perked up, Fei Wenlie XVIII asked again: "Is it normal for everything else to be the same?" ”

Several important ministers glanced at each other, and then replied in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty, a qiē is normal, the government decree is implemented smoothly, the local law and order is good, the war refugees have been properly arranged, except for the war in the northwest province, a qiē is fine." ”

"Well, let's hope it's all right. Meeting. "Fiwenlie XVIII didn't really feel at ease, and there was always a bad omen in his heart.

……

The ruins of Toreske, the outpost of the Odiga Empire's scout troops.

A large area of flat land was carved out of the outpost to serve as a training ground for the fighters, while Boris was training under the guidance of Soth.

"That's not right! Do it again. This shot must be steady, if your gun is not stable enough, it is not the enemy who dies on the battlefield, but you. Dressed in leather armor, Sauter yelled at Boris, who was riding on his horse and stabbing at the grass target.

"That's not right! Pay attention to the speed, for the sake of the goddess, you are riding a horse instead of a cow, can you respect your partner?! ”

"Yes, Lord Thoth." Boris was flushed with words, and rode his horse in response.

"Alright, take a break." Sauter straightened his clothes and armor, sat down under a stone pillar and said.

"Yes." Boris dismounted from his horse and left the horse to stay by his side, while he sat down on the ground of Sauter.

Although Sot occasionally smacks his tongue, he still trains Boris very strictly, and he is more like a big brother next door off the field, who cares about him very much.

The two of them went back and forth, from some anecdotes that Sot encountered in the course of his mission, to interesting stories about Boris in his hometown, and occasionally some training skills...... Boris has been in the army for two years, and in a week, he will complete the basic training of a knight's apprenticeship and become a trainee knight, although he is not yet a formal nobleman, but it only takes a year for him to become a full-fledged knight, which is a real nobleman.

There is no doubt that what has been long-awaited is about to become a reality, which makes Boris very excited. After becoming a trainee knight, he can receive the allowance of the empire, although it is very meager, but it is also a little help to the poor family, and if he persists for another year, when he becomes a full-fledged knight, the situation will be better...... Boris was a little distracted.

Looking at Boris's thoughtful appearance, a faint smile appeared on the corner of the mascot's mouth. This little guy is homesick again, and he was really not used to making trouble a few times when he first came. But the little guy is really a good seedling to be a knight, and his body is flexible and balanced. And the most important thing is that he has condensed the seeds of fighting qi very early, and he has succeeded in cultivating fighting qi, but unfortunately his muscles and bones are not strong enough, I am afraid that it is not easy to become a heavy cavalryman.

It's not his only option, though. The little guy is only sixteen years old this year, and the future plasticity is still very strong.

"Boris." Sauter woke up the teenager who was daydreaming.

"Huh? What's up? Lord Sott. Boris suddenly woke up and hurriedly asked.

"Prepare, I'll take you on a patrol mission tomorrow, which can be regarded as an extra lesson for you. Tomorrow, hopefully there will be a good weather tomorrow. Sauter looked at the sky and said.

"Thank you, sir!" Boris was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and almost jumped up in excitement.

"This kid ......" Seeing this, Sauter shook his head, as if he remembered the scene when he first became a knight.

The next morning, when Sauter walked out of the room, he found that Boris had already put on his full body armor and was carrying a steel barbed spear nearly three meters long and doing various stabbing movements, looking full of vitality.

"Boy, the motivation is not small, but you have to take it easy, don't be anticlimactic." Sauter laughed.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's all ready, we can go." Boris said confidently.

"Well, let's go." Soter got on his horse and led Boris out of the yard.

Outside the sentry post, a squadron of knights was already ready to go, and after Thorter explained today's patrol mission, he took the soldiers and rode away. (To be continued......)
