The dinner was held for a long time.

Gerald had cut a dozen fat and large roast geese, but the knife in his hand hadn't stopped. He really seems to be planning to be a cook tonight and serve his subordinates. Susanna, Salena and other teachers and instructors loaded food for the little knights, senior instructors such as Rodria and Minahears brought bread to the instructors, and Gerald cut roast goose for everyone.

Xiu had never eaten meat so thinly sliced, and it didn't look like food, but like a work of art.

He ate several portions of meat, but while it sounded like a lot, one serving wasn't actually much.

No matter how big the goose is, more than 50 people will get a point, but in fact, each person doesn't get much.

Xiu refused the fifth portion of goose meat offered to him by the instructors.

He ate about eight minutes full, and then he didn't eat any more. He sat quietly in his seat, watching as Gerard cut the goose meat.

Divide the wings and legs into large pieces, and remove the meat completely from the neck with a knife like a needle, and when it comes to the goose breast, it becomes a rowing boat back and forth through the goose meat.

It's like it's very regular.

Gradually, Xiu became fascinated.

Pick out...

Scratch...

Cut...

Scrape...

The action is done in one go, without dragging the mud and water at all. It's like art.

Xiu watched as Gerard shared the roast geese one by one, his movements were almost like stencil impressions, without the slightest mistake.

It's exactly the same as usual, and the precision is terrifying.

But for a moment, Xiu suddenly felt that Gerald's movements seemed to have stopped a little.

Because of this pause, he saw that one slice of goose meat was a little thicker than the others.

Xiu blinked, and saw that the piece of goose meat that had fallen in stagnation did not have a visible light like other slices of meat.

He looked at the others. The instructors were undecided, and the knights didn't care. No one pays attention to whether a piece of meat is so complete or not.

If Xiu told them about it, no one would care about it and would find it very boring.

Perhaps it was the pause in that moment that disrupted Gerrard's rhythm. His chopping of the roast goose was no longer fluid, no longer so natural, but rather disorganized, and in the back it was almost like a butcher chopping a bone, and the knife was heavily thrust into the table.

Finally someone noticed Gerald's movements, but everyone thought he was just tired and wanted to rest for a while.

It was already late in the night, and Gerald stopped what he was doing. Even after cutting so many roast goose, he still didn't have any oil on his hands.

He looked at the night sky outside the window, at the little waning moon and scattered stars, and just stood and stared blankly.

After a long, long time, everyone ate so much that they couldn't eat anymore.

Gerald turned his gaze from the sky back into the hall.

"It's time." He said.

When all the instructors heard this, they put down the utensils in their hands and began to gather around Gerald.

The little knights were overwhelmed and didn't know what was going to happen.

"It's Christmas Eve. On a peaceful night, we enjoyed peace and tranquility...", Gerard whispered, "After Christmas Eve, it's Christmas." On this day, all strife should cease and all have the right to rest and celebrate..."

He left the kitchen table in front of him and stepped forward to look at all the knights.

"But I have not brought you a life of peace and tranquility. I don't have that ability, I can't do it. So... I'm so sorry, my soldiers. Gerald bowed deeply to everyone.

This move made them subconsciously get up and retreat.

"Don't hide, it's my incompetence. So I apologize to you, and you deserve it! The knights were stunned and did not dare to move again.

Gerald slowly straightened up.

"Christmas is a peaceful, traditional day to be with the family. This is the day to stop all struggles, and everyone who is involved in this day must enjoy the day with peace and family, but you are all here. At this time of the year, you have been at home by the warm stove, eating a sumptuous dinner prepared by your family, talking and laughing with your family, and then lying down in the warm quilt and covered with a soft quilt..."

"But now, in the early hours of the Christmas season, I'm going to have you on a mission."

Gerald breathed deeply.

"All I can give you is Christmas Eve... Even the night wasn't quite there. So I'm ashamed of my incompetence. ”

"Sir... What the hell is going on. ”

Someone next to Xiu asked. You could tell from the voice that it was Anthony.

"The supply team of Destiny has been attacked. Twenty-four Valkyries... None survived. Gerard slowly uttered the news that blew up all the students present.

The supply of the Mandate of Heaven is all in the responsibility of the people of the Logistics Department. Although the combat effectiveness of the person in charge of logistics is not too high, it is not something that anyone can provoke.

Because there are at least four C-class Valkyries in charge of escorting, and the remaining D-class and E-class Valkyries are equivalent to the combat power of ordinary human generals and elite soldiers!

And, the rhyming team will not be less than twenty people!

What kind of person can attack such a powerful team!

More importantly, they are raising the banner of the Church, which is the most sacred and inviolable existence in the hearts of all people, and attacking such a convoy is only a very vicious and unfaithless person would do!

The knights couldn't believe it, but they knew that Gerald was never joking. So even if there are thousands of waves in my heart, I can only suppress it and wait for Gerard to finish speaking.

"We've figured out who did it, but..."

"That's not just one force. Some have their eyes on the wealth of Destiny and have already begun to plunder. The Manifest Destiny's front-line war has pinned down almost all of the main forces of the Mandate there, and now we can only rely on ourselves. ”

"For the sake of wealth, they killed more than twenty knights of the Mandate of Heaven. Can we let such people go? Gerald's voice was low and terrifying, but he didn't wait for anyone else to answer, "No!" We must not let these people go! Whether it is for the innocent death of the Knights of Destiny, or for the cleansing of the sins left behind by the sinful people, we must not let them go! ”

"Sir." Xiu suddenly said, "Please give an order." We are knights, and we obey your orders. ”

Gerald gave Xiu a deep look.

The night wind was still howling, and the night wind was wrapped in heavy snow and rushed in, blowing from the unknown darkness and flying towards the dark depths of the location.

The door of the cafeteria was suddenly opened, and small figures wrapped in black cloaks rushed out of the cafeteria. They were so fast that they looked like they were being chased, and some of them even jumped out of the window and left.

"Now all the men go back to your quarters, arm yourselves, take their horses, and assemble at the gates of the city in five minutes."

Xiu rushed back to the dormitory, and put the light armor on his body with three strikes and five divisions.

Unlike at the beginning, I am now very proficient in repairing armor. But while he was equipping his weapon, he suddenly saw something.

It was a big skin sac that looked like it was filled with water.

But Xiu knew that there was not water there. Because ordinary water has long been frozen at such temperatures. This is something that the polar peoples are proud of.

Xiu thought about it and brought this thing with him.

He rushed to the stable, pulled the dark out of the stable, put a cotton mat on it, turned over and rushed to the gate.

Five minutes, everyone was ready to go.

At this time, there were far more than the fifty-two knights of the first brigade who were ready to go, and there were nearly thirty Heavenly Mandate instructors.

Individually, they received two small parcels at the city gate, one containing four days' worth of dry rations and the other a bundle of black wood torches.

"This time, the team leader is Rodria and the deputy team is Minai Hills. All people must listen to their dictates and obey unconditionally. Remember, this is not a drill, this is not a joke, and this is not a fight with the instructor. This is a real battle, and it is the same as asking you to kill people! Gerald paused abruptly and looked at everyone coldly, "You too will be killed!" ”

"Protect yourself, I want to see you all come back in full!" He waved his hand violently, and the black cloak fluttered messily in the wind, "Now, let's go!" ”

"All for Destiny!" The knights shouted violently, and galloped their horses, and were cut off from the endless wind, snow, and darkness!
