Susan's eyes widened suddenly.

"Sixth Battalion?!" she exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"

As we all know, the Royal Order is a direct order of the royal family of Saint Solan, and it is one of the most loyal and elite armed forces in Edward's hands.

There were twelve battalions in this order, each with a different formation and duties.

The most elite are the first and second battalions, both of which have more than two hundred glorious knights, and each of them has dozens of Great Light Knights and even Sanctuary powerhouses. Their duty was to guard the palace. With them, Huangquan Mountain is the strongest fortress.

The third, fourth, and fifth battalions guarding the imperial capital were the most massive. Each battalion numbered more than 10,000 people. The total size of the three battalions alone accounts for half of the 70,000 people in the entire Royal Order, including civilian and logistical personnel.

As for the other battalions, they were responsible for law and order, patrols, and garrisoning several important passes around the imperial capital.

Only the 6th Battalion was an exception.

In the imperial capital, the sixth battalion of the Royal Knights has always been a special existence.

More than a hundred years ago, when Solan was founded, the Royal Knights actually had only five battalions. It was not until the second year after the founding of the country that the sixth battalion was formed. And the purpose of this battalion was not to fight, but for a reason that was not worth showing off - the royal family needed a guard of honor.

Because of this, even if it was later expanded to nearly 3,000 people, the position of the Sixth Battalion in the Royal Knights seemed awkward. When calculating the strength of the Royal Knights, everyone will only count eleven battalions. In the past battles, whether external or internal, this battalion has never achieved any combat success.

In the Royal Knights, the Sixth Battalion had the lowest status, and it was nothing more than an ornament. And people also because of their beautiful honor uniforms. It is jokingly called the Vase Knights Battalion.

Since Edward I ascended the throne more than ten years ago, the emperor, who did not pay attention to pomp, once ordered the reform of the sixth battalion. In addition to retaining a guard of honour of 300 men to take care of the dignity of the royal family, the other knights of the 6th Battalion were assigned the task of protecting the royal family members.

And two years ago. After Eretia was in distress in the south, Edward I, out of his father's love for his daughter, simply assigned the Sixth Battalion to Erecia's command. In addition to the fact that the sixth battalion nominally and structurally belonged to the Royal Knights, in fact, this battalion had become the princess's private army.

Susan knew that Eretia had absolute control over the Sixth Battalion. But she didn't expect that Eretia would give the sixth battalion to Roy.

This is not only to help him toss, but also to help him turn the sky!

You know, no matter how vase. This is also a royal knight. Their identity, their status, any one of them can make most of the little lords respectful.

Susan didn't know how big the town called Bandez that Roy had bought, but she knew that with such an army stationed in Bandez, that town would be the most ambitious town in the Solan Empire. Not to mention the country lords on the borders of the Empire. Even the princes and ministers did not have such treatment.

She stared straight at Elethea. After a long time, she groaned and was defeated.

In Elethea's clear eyes, she saw a decision that was not considered thoughtful, but calm, and would never change.

It was late at night. Susan covered the lying down with the quilt, blew out the candles, and opened the door to leave.

At the creak of the door, Eretia had a pair of sparkling eyes. Keep your eyes on the ceiling.

The moonlight sprinkled like water in front of the bed.

"Susan......" Elethea's voice was a little cold in the ethereal moonlight, "Do you think I'm too willful?"

"Today?" said Susan, smiling, "sort of. ”

From Eretia secretly running out with Roy, drinking and fighting, to her decision to let Roy go to Bandez, and even giving him the sixth battalion of the Royal Knights...... This made Susan feel that she was not only willful, but simply crazy.

"Tomorrow, we're going back, aren't we?" said Elethea.

Susan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

She and Eretia had secretly followed Abraham to Lurien. And the reason why they came secretly was not because they wanted to hide from Edward I, but because they wanted to avoid the Holy Virgin's Temple.

Now, wherever Eretia goes, even when she returns to the palace, the Holy Maiden will send someone to follow. On the surface, it was protection, but in fact, everyone knew that the few high-ranking members of the Holy Maiden Temple who were inclined to the Lanreth family would never allow Elethia to escape from their control.

Unless Eretia defects from the Temple, or Edward declares war with the Temple, then Elethia, as a disciple of the Temple, must do what they want.

Of course, they weren't forcing Elethia to do anything right now. They just promised her that she couldn't do anything.

The biggest reason why Eretia joined the Holy Virgin Temple in the first place was because of the difficult situation of the royal family. As a princess, she must make sacrifices in exchange for the Holy Maiden's support for the royal family of Solan.

In fact, it was indeed with this that Edward I was able to resist the double pressure of the Holy See and Donald and restore the imperial power. In addition, in the Holy Maiden Temple, Erecia's master and many other people treated her well, so she could not do anything to betray the Holy Maiden Temple under any circumstances.

Moreover, even if nothing else, joining the temple of the Holy Maiden is also her commitment.

As a nobleman, her upbringing would not allow her to choose betrayal.

This also means that if you don't want the saints who have lost the traces of Eretia to come to Lulian, and if you don't want the temple of the saints to make a mess because of this incident, then it is best for Eretia to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

Susan is the most knowledgeable person, and because of that, she feels more uncomfortable than anyone else.

At this moment, Eretia, lying quietly on the bed, is like a canary about to fly into the birdcage. For her, this short period of freedom and willfulness is almost over.

In the silence, Eretia burst out laughing.

She grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands and covered her nose, revealing only her sparkling eyes.

"Susan, I'm very happy today. ”

"I feel like a cicada. After being buried in the soil for so long, it finally flew. ”

She turned her head and smiled at Susan.

"Good night. ”

"Good night. Susan said softly, and walked out of the room and closed the door.

The moment the door closed, she leaned against the wall of the hallway, only to feel a sore nose.

Eretia lived her free life for a day, went to parades, went to drink, went to fights. This kind of ordinary day, for ordinary people, is already the happiest time in her life.

Yes, she is a cicada.

The kind of worm buried in the dark soil, three years, five years, or even a full seventeen years, before it will get the last short time of freedom.

Susan covered her mouth and tears welled up in her eyes...... Go out tomorrow, go to Xiamen for a meeting, update pause. But I can code words when I find time, and try to save some manuscripts...... WeChat public number ctao0202...... (To be continued.) )
