"Go and give orders, and encamp on the spot, and no one shall enter the territory of the Frankish kingdom." The maiden glanced at Lancelot, and then ordered, "And you find two hundred men and divide them into twenty squads to take turns patrolling the border with the Frankish kingdom and other countries to avoid invasion by other countries." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lancelot faithfully accepted the order and quickly retreated.

"Aren't you going to lead an army into the Frankish kingdom?" I couldn't help but look at her, "Don't you plan to ask for the land you gave away for nothing?" ”

"It's not clear now, you can't accept gifts from others for no reason." The girl shook her head, "Who knows if that Emperor Nero is using the Frankish kingdom as bait to lure us into a larger conspiracy?" ”

"Well, I'm on the same page as the Knight King." Joan of Arc nodded and looked at me, "In the meantime, we might as well send scouts to reconnoiter farther afield to see how much power that Roman emperor has in the world." ”

"Okay, let's do it."

We had no objection to Joan of Arc's proposal, and the matter was settled.

——

On the morning of the third day, we got the latest findings from the frontline scouts.

"Your Majesty, we reconnoitred all the way along the Frankish kingdom and found that Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and other places have all lost the banner of independent kingdoms." The scout who returned bowed down and reported, "In its place, there is a flag of the unified system." ”

"What kind of flag is that? Could it be the Roman Empire in history? Joan of Arc couldn't help but ask.

"This ...... Not really. The scout's face turned odd, "The flags are all emblazoned with a bright red rose, more personal than a national emblem." ”

“……”

——

In the evening round table, everyone was in a tense discussion.

"Wowha, it's the emperor of Rome, it's good, it's good, it's completely interested!" Iskander was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Yu has long heard of this country established on the land of Yu's Macedonian Empire, and its reputation in later generations is very loud!" I want to see if it is the king of Macedonia or the majesty of the Roman Empire! ”

"Wait, I didn't say I was going to fight the other side." I quickly interjected, "It's not certain that the other side will definitely oppose us, and since the Frankish Empire has been ceded over there, there is obviously a need for peace talks." ”

"What are you talking about...... It's not enough to toss back and forth. Hearing this, Iskandar showed a somewhat disappointed expression, "If you want to say anything, military conquest on the battlefield is the safest way, and you will get the most reliable allies." ”

"Forget it, if you're all Heroes, maybe there's still the possibility of a fight. With your current human body, it is estimated that you can be knocked down by the other party in one look. Gilgamesh glanced at him and said lightly, "Besides, you don't have your own soldiers on hand, and you need Britons." The knight king's side disagrees, and it's useless for you to be unwilling. ”

"Hmm...... Don't say such a shocking thing......"

Iskandar's face turned red, and he had no choice but to say such a sentence for a long time.

Because he knew that Iskandar was good at debating on weekdays, Gilgamesh simply did not reason with him much, and overwhelmed him with absolute facts.

What I want to say is that a hot-blooded and heroic person has met a character like a nemesis such as cold humor.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, I saw several British soldiers, calling for this direction.

"That's the second group of scouts I've sent, and they're finally back."

Seeing those soldiers, the girl next to me also looked relieved.

The two groups of scouts were dispatched almost simultaneously, but the missions performed were different:

The first scouts simply followed the borders of the Frankish kingdom and continued to scout the situation in other countries; The second group of scouts was more missionatic, focusing directly on the Italian region, the center of the Roman Empire.

That is, the difference between a point and a surface.

The first scouts returned during the day, bringing with them the news of the change of flags of the countries along the route.

The second group of scouts has only now returned, which is a bit worrying. If it drags on any longer, maybe we'll have to arrange for more people to come to the rescue.

However, as the soldiers approached, Artoria and Joan of Arc beside me frowned slightly.

I don't need them to tell me anything different

- The bodies of those soldiers are too clean.

You must know that serving as a scout is extremely hard work, not to mention sleeping in the open air, and you have to tense your nerves on the battlefield at all times to avoid facing danger to your life.

So when they came back from the outing, most of them were covered in dust and exhausted.

However, these soldiers not only had clean and tidy clothes, but even exuded a faint fragrance of flowers.

What's more, they look refreshed and not tired at all.

"Tell me, what have you been doing all this way?"

The girl couldn't help frowning and asked.

Normally, it must be the scout who is lazy and slippery, and doesn't know where to hide to have fun.

However, it is very rare for them to have such an undisguised appearance and refuse to pretend.

"Your Majesty, we have met the Roman Emperor!"

However, the leading soldier could not wait to shout.

"What!?"

Everyone present was amazed.

Immediately afterward, several soldiers recounted their experiences.

It turned out that they had managed to sneak all the way to the Italian border, and what they saw almost made them doubt their lives.

In front of you is the magnificent city of Rome, each building is made of pure gold and the floor is paved with rose petals.

In front of this hard-to-find beauty in the world, they completely lost the ability to think, and could only stand in place in a daze, unable to move.

At this time, several Roman soldiers surrounded them.

They thought they were going to die if they failed in their mission. Surprisingly, however, the Roman soldiers were also ordered to act, leading them all the way to the royal palace in the city of Rome.

In the grand hall of the palace, they saw the emperor of Rome, Nero Claudius.

"What is the appearance of Emperor Nero?"

The girl remained silent and asked the question we all wanted to know.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Nero...... It's just beautiful. Several soldiers agreed, their eyes showing a deep look of intoxication, "We have never seen such a beautiful woman in our lives until now." She is like a blooming rose, with the grace of a goddess of beauty in her gestures. ”
