Because they met the armies of friendly countries on the way, the expeditionary force's itinerary for the day ended early. The whole army camped on the spot to rest, and the ordinary sergeants were given a rare extra rest, while the generals and nobles took the opportunity to hold a simple banquet.

The host of the banquet was naturally the expeditionary force of the kingdom of Tristram, and the guests of the banquet were naturally the nobles and high-ranking officers of the troops of the two principalities of Orb and Zaft. Because there were no direct members of the royal family accompanying the expedition, the host was the commander of the Fourth Corps of the Regular Army, who was also the highest military commander of the expeditionary force, and the commander of the corps 'Brix Reinhardt', who was from the royal family. The distant branch of the Reinhardt family (as can be seen from the proximity of the surname), although the title is only a mere viscount, compared to the title of the highest commander of the expeditionary force of the Duchy of Orb and Zaft, is the only member of the Tristram Kingdom who can represent the royal family.

For a banquet, it is not enough to have the organizer and the invitee, and the guests who accompany it are of course indispensable. Therefore, some high-ranking officers under the jurisdiction of the expeditionary force of the Tristram Kingdom and the noble lords who accompanied them with sufficient status also participated in this banquet, and Kasha-Leopold, as the earl lord of Prailly, was of course also invited.

"But we won't have a chance to join in the fun." Yang Qianyu took a large soup spoon in his hand and scooped out a small half spoonful of soup from the soup pot to his mouth and tasted the taste, smacking his lips slightly and showing a dissatisfied expression, and then saw him pour some spices into the soup pot, and said while stirring with the soup spoon.

"Why?" Shi Jinxin was listening with interest to the other companions discussing whether to go to the main venue of the banquet to join in the fun, when he suddenly heard Yang Qianyu's words and couldn't help but turn his head and ask.

"Our identity, it's not enough to participate in a banquet of this size." Fu Bin explained: "The level of this welcome banquet is national, and the guests on both sides of the banquet are considered powerful figures in their respective countries. Frankly speaking, our ally, Count Kasha, is probably a low-ranking guest at a banquet of this size. ”

"That's what you say." Shi Jinxin is not stupid, and he reacted with a little bit of a touch from his companions. Whether the identity is high or not depends on the level of the object to be compared. As the Earl Lord of Prailly, Kasha is of course the only leader in her own domain, and even in a single area of Breitnia, she can be considered one of the most powerful people in her status as an Earl Lord. However, if it is placed in the south of the entire kingdom, Kasha's identity is not very prominent, and if this scope is expanded to the entire kingdom, Kasha's identity level is even lower. As for the exchange environment between countries, it is very good that Kasha can have a place at the bottom of the table.

"But since it's in those places where the bigwigs at the national level are gathered, presumably Kasha will definitely feel uncomfortable, right?" Thinking of this, Shi Jinxin couldn't help but sympathize with Kasha. After all, ordinary people have the view that 'it is better to be a chicken's head than a phoenix' in their hearts, and when a powerful person exists in a group, but the other party is still more prominent than his own status, people at a low level will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

"It is said that Kasha went to the banquet and was named by Lieutenant General Brix, who hosted the banquet, to be present." Fu Bin continued. "Otherwise, according to Kasha's character, he may not be willing to take the initiative to participate in such a banquet."

"Oh? Why? Shi Jinxin asked curiously.

"I don't know." Fu Bin spread his hands and replied, "I just inadvertently mentioned it when I approached Luna of the Prairie Army before setting up camp. I didn't ask why. ”

"I know a little bit." Yang Qianyu, who was boiling the soup, suddenly interjected. "It should have something to do with the big names on the side of Orb and Zaft."

"Huh?" Fu Bin and Shi Jinxin looked at Yang Qianyu curiously.

Yang Qianyu said while stirring the soup: "Although the official Tristram Kingdom does not mention much about the powerhouses outside the kingdom, there are not many folk rumors. In the previous wars of the demons, a group of newcomers and powerhouses with outstanding strength will emerge in the four kingdoms and various principalities. It's like Count Kasha is one of the newcomers who rose to prominence in the last battle against the demons. The same is true of the Duchy of Orb and Zaft, and in the last battle against demons, several strong men also made a name for themselves. Since the relationship between the Kingdom of Tristram and these two principalities is friendly, it is possible that the newcomers and powerhouses of the two sides have crossed paths during the War of the Demons. ”

"Maybe." After hearing this, Shi Jinxin said: "But even if Kasha got acquainted with some big names of Orb and Zaft in the last battle against demons, he may not be able to meet them again in this battle against demons, right?" ”

"It's certainly impossible to run into them all again." Yang Qianyu responded: "However, there are at least two people who will definitely be able to meet again." ”

"Two people? Who are they? Shi Jinxin asked.

Yang Qianyu stirred in the soup pot with a soup spoon in one hand, and stretched out a finger with the other hand and said: "The first one, it must be the distant nephew of the current monarch of the Principality of Obu 'Uzmi Ashar', the high-ranking swordsman 'Kira Yamado', nicknamed 'Radiant Knight'. And the second place-" Yang Qianyu immediately stretched out his second finger and continued: "It should be the only son of Grand Duke 'Patrick Sala', the current military commander of the Duchy of Zaft, and the high-ranking fighter 'Aslan Sara', nicknamed 'Red Knight'." These two men participated in the last battle against the demons as the individual of the brave people. The temporary team he was part of was also quite famous at the time. ”

"'The rainbow reflects the sky, and the dawn descends on the earth.'" Fu Bin suddenly muttered an inexplicable verse.

"That's right," Yang Qianyu affirmed, "this is one of the hymns that were sung by the bards who traveled the southern part of the continent at that time in praise of the heroes who appeared in the battle against the demons. ”

"In that case, it's really possible that Kasha has a relationship with the other party." Fu Bin shook his head with emotion. "Unexpectedly, these two people are actually members of the 'Knights of the Dawn' with the same name as Kasha's 'Rainbow Adventure Band......"

"Knights of the Dawn? Are they so famous? Shi Jinxin asked suspiciously: "Then why haven't I heard of any of their deeds?" ”

"Of course, it's because of public opinion." Yang Qianyu explained: "That hymn not only mentions the Rainbow Adventure Regiment and the Knights of the Dawn, but also mentions some other teams that were quite famous at that time. It's just that in the territory of the Tristram Kingdom, in order to highlight the heroes of the country's demons, the bards who wander around the country focus on singing the deeds of the 'rainbow'. ”

"Really?" Shi Jinxin, who was listening, questioned when he heard this.

"That's how it should be." Yang Qianyu responded with confidence. "In my collection of literature about the world, there are at least three versions of this hymn, with similar themes and different characters."

"Three...... Version ...... "Shi Jinxin couldn't help but be dumbfounded after listening to Yang Qianyu's explanation.
