"Marshal, Berdwin, they're back. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Hebrew had just returned to the marshal's palace to rest, when a captain disturbed his sweet dreams again.

"What's the situation?" said Hebrew, who quickly put on his clothes and ran out.

"The captain has also brought back a few people, all waiting for you in the council chamber. ”

"Who did you bring back? It's wartime, don't bring me some bigwigs from the military department back to give me a blind command. Hebrew shouted, lest they would not hear him too far from the council chamber.

"Two young men, and a bishop of the Holy See. It seems to be from the imperial capital. The squad leader was a little embarrassed.

"Let's go, let's see. ”

Tallinnburg Council Hall, there were several people standing in the hall. The bishop was old, and Birdwin asked his retinue to move a chair for him to sit on. Bert, dressed in black and Abby in cyan leather armor, stood behind him, and Birdwin waved his hand to make the attendants in the hall retreat.

"It's fun to have friends from afar, hahahahahaha. There was a hearty laugh, and if you didn't see that person, everyone would think that he was a very hospitable person.

Hebrew removed his chain mail and now wore the uniform of a white Imperial Marshal. In fact, there is no need to wear it in such informal occasions, but the Hebrew itself is not very high. Although as the eldest son, he would inherit the Duke title of Goodrich, but now he was only an earl. So His Excellency the Count was very fond of wearing the marshal's uniform on various occasions.

Hebrew waved his hand, very enthusiastically preventing those present from saluting further. "You are friends from the Holy See, so there is no need to be polite. ”

"What are you doing at the front?" Hebrew knew that if it wasn't for something important, Birdwin couldn't leave a very important task behind and accompany them back.

"Marshal, they are emissaries from the Empire and the Holy See, and they have come to make peace with the Satya Empire. Birdwin helped explain.

"Peace?" Hebrew looked up at the comer, two young men of about twenty years old, who could not stand on their feet. "Do you see the corpses under the city gates? If you can make peace, they will not come to attack the city like this. ”

Lord Count paused, "Their goal is Tallinnburg, and if they take Tallinnburg, it will be easier for them to invade our country in the future." ”

"Lord Marshal, the situation on the mainland is very tense right now, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is the situation of your battle with Satya. Whoever belongs to Tallinn in the end will not benefit the stability of the continent in any way. The bishop replied lightly.

"But they Satya don't think so, I don't know anyone else, and I know that Maxim will not retreat. ”

"Hmm...... Marshal Maxim we need to go to-morrow, and then I will trouble the marshal to arrange it. ”

"You're so confident you'll be able to convince him?"

"The marshal doesn't believe we have the ability?" said the bishop, a smile on his face, his wrinkles squeezed so hard that he couldn't see his heart.

Hebrew did not deny it or speak, and for a moment the scene fell into embarrassment.

"You haven't introduced yourself yet, and I don't know what to call you. Hebrew quietly changed the subject. "I am Hebrew Capet, Field Marshal of the Imperial Tallinn Theater of Operations. "Before asking someone, you need to report your home.

"Below is the White Cardinal of the Holy See, Chazzo Hill. He is currently an advisor to the Holy See on foreign affairs. "Oh, though he had been prepared, Hebrew was taken aback by hearing of the identity of the white cardinal. There are only ten current white-clothed bishops in the Holy See, and the inconspicuous-looking old man in front of him is really one of the high-ranking members of the Holy See.

"It turned out to be the Bishop, disrespectful and disrespectful. "Hebrew was also a papal believer, and even the Imperial Marshal gave a religious salute to the bishop.

"The marshal is gracious. Bishop Xia Zuo smiled and nodded.

Abby stepped forward from behind the bishop and gave a knightly greeting to Hebrew, "I am a paladin of the Holy See, Abby Lopp, a diplomatic ambassador of the Holy See. ”

"Your Excellency is really young and promising, I was still studying at the Knight Academy when I was about the same age as you. Hebrew nodded slightly, and no one would mind a few more for the noble knights.

"My name is Bert Harvey, a high-ranking magician of the Oslan Empire, and currently an ambassador for the Empire's diplomacy. Bert also stepped forward to introduce himself.

"Harvey, I haven't heard that in a long time. Hebrew sighed as if he remembered something. "Oslan doesn't have a lot of surnames. I have an old friend whose surname is Harvey, and I wonder if you know Celtic Harvey?"

Berdwin didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this person, "You mean the previous Knight Captain?"

Bert smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect his father to be quite popular and actually knew the Imperial Marshal. "He's my father. ”

"Heh......" Hebrew let out a long sigh, "what a tiger father without a dog, you have not lost your father's face in the slightest." ”

"That...... What kind of man was my father?" Bert was puzzled, and felt that everyone felt very sorry when they talked about his father.

"You haven't seen your father, what's wrong with him?" Hebrew misunderstood what Bert meant, after all, he hadn't been heard from since he retired, and it was possible that something would happen.

"No, you're mistaken, it just feels like what you're saying isn't quite what I see. Do you really know my father? Could it be just people with the same name and surname?"

"Is your father's hair gray, his eyes blue, and your mother a member of the Holy See?" Hebrew asked three questions in a row, and Bert thought for a moment as if it were indeed his father.

"That's right, the Holy See I went with him to help them in their suppression, and that's where your father met your mother. Then they fell in love, and your father retired from the army, and we never saw each other again. ”

"And what kind of man was he before?"

"Let Birdwin tell you about this, he used to be the captain of your father's personal guard. Hebrew smiled slightly, he was glad to meet the son of the old man here.

Birdwin also seemed excited, and he patted Bert on the shoulder vigorously, and then told him about his father's glory days.

Celt Harvey was born in a small, remote village east of Osland, near the sea, where the people are very robust because they go out to fish all year round. The young Celts were reluctant to stay at home to fish, and several large-scale clashes broke out on the border with Satya. At the age of eighteen, Celtic resolutely left the sea and followed the army inland to support the border.

The border commander at that time was none other than Hebrew's father, Field Marshal Goodrich. Among the soldiers who arrived in the same batch, Celts were not outstanding in height, nor did they have very obvious specialties and muscles, so they were assigned to the most basic light infantry phalanx. Over the next two years, Satya launched no less than ten raids on several cities on the empire's borders.

At that time, Tallinn Fort was still under construction, and the commanders of the Satya Empire certainly did not let Osland build this castle. Two Satya light cavalry battalions broke through the Oslan line in the darkness of night and met a light infantry battalion stationed at the Tallinnburg construction base.

When the light infantry encounters the light cavalry in the open area, they can't beat it and can't run away. Tallinn, the captain of the light infantry group, ordered the soldiers to assemble in place and wait for reinforcements, but in the face of the double light cavalry, many of the soldiers who had just entered the battle were very afraid. That night, the soldiers of the three armies privately colluded to surrender together. As soon as he left the gate of the camp, he happened to meet a patrol led by Celtic, and according to the desertion items in the Imperial Empire's Nine Beheads and Fourteen Kills, these three soldiers need to be brought to justice on the spot. But Celtic had only one soldier with him, and even two of them were swayed by the deserters' persuasion.

Celtic, who was the captain of the army, didn't say a word, drew his long sword and took down the three deserters in a breath. The blood stirred up the blood of the soldiers, and the deserters intended to kill them and flee.

The Orient was so petite that the deserters didn't pay attention to Celt at all, and five sturdy soldiers drew their swords and slashed at Celtic. After a few confrontations, five battlefield veterans lay down in front of the young commander, and all the deserters did not dare to resist anymore, and knelt down and begged him to spare their lives for the sake of his colleagues.

Celtic did not sympathize with them in the slightest, and the swords flew and all the deserters were in different places. Since then, the light infantry brigade, which has been besieged for several days, has not seen a single deserter. It's not that they're afraid of him, it's just that recruits in their twenties aren't afraid of death, and if they flee the battlefield, what face do they have to go back to see their wives and children.

Since that incident, Celtic has risen directly from Captain to Squadron Leader of the First Squadron. For the next two days, the Satya light cavalry continued to attack the Oslan light infantry brigade, and the captain of the group, Tallinn, was killed. After the death of the group leader, the first squadron leader was automatically promoted to the highest commander, and Celt led the remaining 5,000 soldiers to retreat to the construction base. Taking advantage of the familiar terrain and uneven ground, the light infantry withstood three light cavalry brigades for a full week. In the end, the light cavalry was forced to evacuate from the territory of the empire because the food reserves were exhausted.

The battle allowed a young man to show his command skills and spirit as a soldier, and Celtic was exceptionally promoted to the captain of the first brigade of the elite "Red Panther Knights", in addition to special mounts and equipment provided by the Imperial Military Department.

Goodrich can be said to be the Bole of Celtic's life, and in the subsequent battles, Goodrich led the Celts on a crusade to the west to teach this fisherman-turned-child knight etiquette and the art of war. He also let his eldest son join him in battle, and also cultivated a brotherly friendship between the two of them.

Later, the empire and Satya signed a temporary truce, and Goodrich was transferred back to the imperial capital to serve in important positions in the military department due to his defensive merits. Celts remained on the frontier with the "Red Panther Knights".

In order to commemorate the 5,000 light infantry soldiers and Tallinn captains who died in Tallinn Fort, the previous king of the Osland Empire named the newly built war fortress "Tallinn Fort".
