The morning light was slightly dewed, and the four camps in the east, west, north and south of the imperial capital were already a lively scene.

Today is a special day for the four major battalions in the imperial capital, and the military exercises of the imperial capital army in the third quarter of this year will begin on this day.

Although there are four such exercises a year, each one starts with a lot of ambition and high spirits.

It's no wonder that for military personnel, nothing ignites the blood in their hearts more than battle and honor. Although this is just a drill, not a real war, it still makes the blood boil for the vast majority of these recruits in the imperial capital who have never been on the battlefield.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the battalions were already dressed up, lined up, and walked towards the central site of the camp under the leadership of the battalion commanders.

According to the regulations, all battalions must first assemble at the central site, and then enter the jungle area from the central site to start the combat exercise. Therefore, at this time, if you look down from the high altitude of the imperial capital, you will see that the scene of the four major battalions of "east, west, south and north" is almost exactly the same at this time, and the battalions that come out from all directions in the camp area are all converging in one direction.

Somewhat different from the solemnity of the other battalions, the reaction of the [13th battalion] was somewhat casual.

Everyone didn't do anything special because of this military exercise, everything was the same as usual, no different.

After getting up at dawn in the morning, the squads of the [13th Battalion] first did stretching exercises under the leadership of their own captains, and then ran around the [13th Battalion] camp. However, there are people who don't take this military exercise seriously than them, and this person is needless to say, their battalion commander.

Everyone lined up for a while, but they didn't see Situ Jin appear, and at this time, Marven, who had just been promoted to Situ Jin's adjutant, was ready to start performing his duties and called Situ Jin out.

Just when he took a step, he looked up and saw that Situ Jin was already walking towards everyone. Unlike when he appeared in the past, this time Situ Jin also held a big sword in his hand, and this big sword instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The bad rust, and the rough appearance, all of them really didn't match Situ Jin's noble aristocratic image, and everyone couldn't help but start whispering.

"Hey, is that big guy in the battalion commander's hand a sword?"

"This sword is a bit too unsightly!"

"What an ugly sword, why did the battalion commander carry such a sword with him?"

"This sword is definitely the ugliest sword Lao Tzu has ever seen!"

As Situ Jin got closer and closer, everyone's discussion finally faded away. Just kidding, they haven't forgotten that the big man Pence was punished by Situ Jin for talking nonsense when he was standing in line, no matter what, they can't violate military discipline in front of this demon battalion commander, otherwise they will definitely not even know how they died.

That's right! The big sword that Situ Jin held in his hand was the heavy sword weighing 400 kilograms, in order to increase his strength as soon as possible, Situ Jin had already made up his mind to carry this sword with him, and today was the starting day for him to take this heavy sword with him.

Looking at everyone's eyes staring at the big sword in his hand, Situ Jin already knew what everyone thought, but it didn't matter, he didn't care what others thought, although this sword was ugly, but for him now, beauty and ugliness didn't matter, how to use the weight of this heavy sword to increase his strength was the core of his attention.

"Let's go, go to the central venue!" After walking in front of everyone, Situ Jin didn't say anything, and said directly.

Hearing the order, the team standing on the outermost side immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the central field, and the team behind immediately followed. After all the teams were gone, Situ Jin followed, although his face was relatively normal, but he was not at ease at all now, carrying a weight of 400 kilograms in one hand, this was definitely not easy!

In the central venue of Beiying, except for the [13th battalion], all the other battalions have already arrived, if you look carefully, you will find that the mood of each battalion is unprecedentedly high, although everyone's mood is very high in every military exercise, but such a high mood is rare.

And there is a reason why everyone is so excited all of a sudden.

On the high platform directly in front of the central venue, there is a long row of tables and chairs, in the past, at the beginning of the quarterly military exercises, the most senior person sitting above this was the highest commander of the North Battalion, the commander of the North Battalion, but today, the few figures sitting on this side are enough to make all the officers and soldiers of the North Battalion feel flattered.

Aldrich Ferdinand, the second prince of the empire, Aldrich Theresia, the princess of the empire, Lord Situ Nan, the deputy commander-in-chief of the imperial army, and General Wycliffe Chaplin, the commander of the four major battalions of the empire, made a collective appearance in the north camp at the beginning of the quarterly military exercise of the four major battalions in the imperial capital, making it difficult for all the officers and soldiers of the north battalion to work hard.

Especially the appearance of Teresia, known as the first beauty of the empire, made everyone very excited, although Teresia was engaged, her appearance still made the hearts of all the men present beat faster, and they wished that they could immediately turn into a heroic knight and appear handsomely in front of this iceberg beauty.

In fact, in the first few years of the implementation of the quarterly military exercise system, the royal family would basically send people to the scene, usually the prince, and sometimes the emperor would also be present in person, the purpose of this was to boost morale on the one hand, and on the other hand, to see how effective the exercise was.

Slowly, because this kind of quarterly military exercise is held several times a year, it is impossible for the royal family to appear every time, and the military exercise is carried out separately in the four major camps, and it is not easy to choose which one to go or which one, so later, the royal family basically does not show up much.

So you can imagine how excited everyone was when they saw the prince and the princess appear together in Beiying on this day.

In the middle of the venue, the six major joint battalions of the North Battalion stood together at a distance from the other joint battalions, and although the exercise was carried out as a "battalion" unit, and officers at or above the rank of joint battalion commander were not allowed to enter the jungle at all, the final achievements of the battalion were directly related to the joint battalion commander.

In addition, in the actual jungle exercise, in order to defeat the other battalions as soon as possible, each battalion will generally choose to join forces with the other battalions of its own joint battalion, defeat the other joint battalions first, and then engage in internal battles, so that even if they do not get the top three, they can ensure that they will finally win their own family.

Therefore, before the start of the exercise, the joint battalion commander first gave lectures to the five battalions under his management, which has become an unwritten rule before the start of the quarterly exercise.

From [1st Battalion] to [5th Battalion] in front of the joint venture queue, Charles is still a personable noble son, but since Theresia got engaged, this aristocratic son looks a little decadent, with deep sunken eyes, chin and a few green stubble that has just grown out of the chin that has not been cleaned up, making it difficult for people to associate with the previous Charles who loves cleanliness.

However, unlike the unenergetic look of the previous days, Charles today is full of energy and bright eyes. Although he was standing at the front of the queue, his eyes did not leave the high platform in front of him for a moment.

Of course, there is only one thing that can make Charles change his state so quickly, and that thing is also the source of his deep suffering, and the thing that can make people want to die is naturally love! Love is a thing that those who believe in it believe that they can get eternal life by it, and those who do not believe in it regard it as heresy, and Charles is naturally its faithful believer.
