(536) Enlightenment

When evening,

A large number of landing troops lived in the dormitory of the Siserkania Fortress, and those who could not live slept in the makeshift camp.

The captives who laid down their arms and tied their hands were huddled in the old warehouses that had been emptied, or at least they were still alive, and the crazed cathar recalcitrant rebels without exception were all in their graves.

The emperor refused the lavish sea-view suites offered to her by her subordinates, and instead lived in her black canvas tent, as usual, and slept on a rusty iron-framed marching bed.

In order to prevent the Voodoo Assassins from attacking, an entire battalion of guards blocked the outside of the tent, and a large number of intelligence agents were hidden inside.

Except for a few sporadic gunshots, the night was calm.

As soon as dawn broke on the second, the port was busy again, and the unloaded ships left the port one after another.

Strong, shirtless sailors pulled on thick hemp ropes, pulled the new ship to the ground by manpower, and then began unloading operations.

In the square outside the port, the signal corps played the assembly horn, and a mixed force composed of various light and heavy cavalry, as well as mule, horse and artillery crews, was assembled and awaited the commander's review.

This was the Rapid Action Force formed at the request of Prince Leopold.

There are more than 20,000 people, including many elite and even ace troops in the scale army.

The most famous is the light and heavy cavalry brigade of the Valstad Imperial Guard.

Among them, the heavy cavalry brigade was personally commanded by the famous second-generation princess in military uniform, Colonel Edgar Midknight.

Some people have questioned her ability, after all, the princess is blind, and whether she can take care of herself is a problem, and a few months ago she had to rely on people to push a wheelchair forward, let alone command the elite cavalry to charge.

People don't know that these days the princess has undergone a radical change, and the powerful spiritual eye completely surpasses the vision of ordinary humans, and the perception ability surpasses that of the most sensitive birds of prey.

The first exercise after the landing of the expeditionary force pale in all doubts,

Colonel Edgar Midknight wears a new cuirassier armor,

The advanced composite armor plate design makes this armor have good ballistic performance, but because of the increase in thickness and weight, it puts forward higher requirements for the physical fitness of wearing.

For the elite of these elites, the heavy cavalry of the Guards who are as strong as cattle comes, even if they wear retro full-body armor, it is a matter, so the upgrading of equipment this time is not a problem at all.

Edgar wears a standard iron helmet, and three blue peacock feathers symbolizing elite troops are inserted on the top of the helmet.

She was not wearing makeup, her eyes were covered with black goose down cloth, a pair of thick sword eyebrows, coupled with a delicate nose, and thin lips, even if she was fully armed, she could not hide her wild beauty.

For the princess in military uniform, this military uniform is the best decoration.

The red cloak draped behind him is embroidered with a delicate pattern of the night owl's national emblem, which is blown by the strong wind.

Heavy cowhide boots with silver spurs at the base,

Under the crotch is a precious black horse from the Far North, with shiny and smooth fur, extremely well-proportioned and elegant muscular lines all over the body, and a long and neat mane, which is like a sculptural work of art.

There are four levels of grading, with A being excellent, B being good, C being a pass, and D being a fail, and in addition to that, there is a hidden score for those who are powerful heroes.

Most of the officers and men of the Guards easily achieved excellent or good results, and finally it was the turn of the main event, and everyone gathered around to watch.

The first is the speed test, which is nothing good, mainly depends on the quality of the warhorse, this expensive mount is worthy of its value, like a gust of black wind sweeping across the test site.

The magistrate looked at his pocket watch and said to himself:

(9 seconds?) Or the results of carrying equipment?

Am I right? Good fellow, if this is to be taken to the racetrack to gamble, then ...... Don't make crazy money! )

This was followed by the basic skills of the modern cavalry, shooting right away,

In order to simulate the real battlefield environment, the stingy site was specially selected.

With the horses speeding up at full speed, Edgar Midknight sat firmly in the saddle with her legs between them.

She pulled out her new carbine from her side saddle pocket, and as she ran, she shot an empty bottle on a twenty-yard stake, then drew her pistol and exploded the melon ten yards away.

In the subsequent cold weapon chopping test, the princess's saber lay quietly in the scabbard,

She removed the more handy axe from her back and swept past her target like a gust of wind, destroying nine thin planks with a single slash.

Looking at the neat incisions in the wooden board, the magistrate swallowed in fear, if this axe was cut at a person, the result could be imagined.

The results of the equestrian test are even more terrible,

Edgar Midknight exerted her terrifying strength in the usual game of polo, grabbing the saddle with one hand, shifting the weight of her entire body to the side, and easily picking up the flag on the ground with the other hand.

This is far more than the test requirement, as long as you can touch the table on horseback, you are already an excellent result.

Finally, the comprehensive assessment results,

The test officer held up a cardboard with the letter "S" written on it, which means a super-excellent achievement, and only a handful of people in the entire army have ever received this honor.

"My lord...... What the is this...... Is this still human? The hussar brigade commander was so shocked that his mouth widened.

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it." Another officer asked, "She can't see how she did it." ”

A captain of the Heavy Cavalry Brigade said: "I asked Her Royal Highness that she had been confused for a while after she lost her sight, and even gave up on herself, but with the encouragement of her family, she regained her confidence and looked for a way out.

The breakthrough point is the senses of hearing, smell, touch, taste, and some kind of incomprehensible sense, which she herself calls the eye of the mind.

After dangerous training, even risking their lives, the function of these senses is greatly enhanced.

All the senses combine to make up the world in her mind.

Unlike eyes, which can only see things in front of them, Her Royal Highness can 'see' or 'feel' things around her.

For example, we could not see the mouse hiding on the board, and she could clearly feel it, and threw a dagger with force, disemboweling it, which I had seen with my own eyes, not hearsay. ”

The chief of staff, Dali Einfurt, who was watching from the sidelines, also applauded:

"Your Majesty, can you rest assured, I have integrated my daughter into the front-line combat unit, and she has just returned from the line of death."

"I figured it out, let the children do it, we as parents, should not prevent young people from pursuing their dreams." The Emperor looked sideways and said, "I should ask you, Dali,

You are such an only child, and now he is following the Northern Army to land and fight, and you will not stop you. ”

"Unstoppable, just like we were back then, Your Majesty,

It was at this age that was enthusiastic and aggressive, and the couple didn't think about anything else at all, they were professional soldiers, and they were bent on making a career on the battlefield.

"I have Konstanz in the country, and he has grown into a qualified prince.

And Dali, you are different, without William, the Ainfoot family will be extinct. ”

"Of course, I had concerns, but I quickly figured it out, the meaning of this war is different from the past, the participants will definitely go down in history, if you forcibly stop the child, I am afraid that he will be hated for the rest of his life."

"My father once said that the honor of the nobles of Valstad was to die generously on the battlefield,

This kind of words sound completely unreasonable in times of peace, but in these troubled times, they sound quite appropriate, like some kind of curse, a fate that we cannot escape.

What about you, Dali, what do you think of this war, are you still confused? ”

"Not confused, not at all,

After fighting for a lifetime, familiar comrades-in-arms have passed away one by one, and they have long been relieved.

Even if you are defeated and die, you can be regarded as having worked hard and not regretting it, which is much better than those cowards who dare not speak out when they are framed.

The Valsta people have always been unruly, and it is okay to be killed, but it is okay to be scared to death."

"Very well enlightened, my prime minister.

If this battle is inevitable, then we must seize the initiative, advocating offensive is our tradition, and when people come to the doorstep, it will be too late. ”

Dali Einfoot spat out the smoke ring: "Your Majesty, are you ready for yourself?" You and I both have blue blood in our bodies, and we know better than anyone else how terrible our opponents are this time. ”

"Whatever it is, come on!" The emperor pressed the hilt of the famous family sword "Twilight" and said:

"I, Salentos, would like to break my bones for Valstad, worthy of tens of millions of people."
