European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 25 The Beacon of Laon
In the early morning, on the outskirts of Paris, Edward's camp.

"From here, go another [-] kilometers to Laon. Now that I think about it, I'm still a little excited." Edward Marquis, who got up early, was not at all tired, but was very excited, and he couldn't wait.

Baron Mona was not as excited as he was. After all, he had traveled a long distance compared to Edward's territory.

"Wait until you've filled your stomach, then get ready for the triumphant return." His confidence could be felt from the guy's toenails.

"By the way, Your Excellency the Baron, are you interested in being my direct subordinate? I promise I can give you better treatment than the Duke of Normandy." Edward changed the subject, simply and neatly.

"That's not necessary. I have been entrusted for more than ten years. Although I haven't made any achievements, I am still loyal. I advise you not to have any presumptuous thoughts." Baron Mona refused simply, Not a single leeway was left.

Seeing his determination, Edward had no choice but to give up, turned his horse and returned to the tent.

On the other side, Edward's camp was thirty kilometers away.

"Bruno, do you think we have forgotten something?" Bernard had been asking Li Peijun this question half an hour ago.

"I know what you're going to ask, don't bother me, I'm concentrating on positioning, and now the Polaris is gone, if I get distracted and go the wrong way, I might run to the beach." Li Peijun's eyes are straight. Staring at the front without moving.

"It should be the right way."

Li Peijun saw the traces of being trampled on the grass on the side, and judged that it should have been left when they marched.

"Are you trying to say that we left the remaining dozens of people in Edward's territory?" Li Peijun turned his head and asked with confidence now, and Bernard nodded slightly.

"Short oil, let me tell you, can the matter of the knights be said to be abandoned? Besides, they have many people and we have few people. How can it be said that a small number of people abandoned the large army? If you take ten thousand steps back, it's not like we won't go back , we are only leaving temporarily, temporarily, you know?"

Li Peijun spoke at the speed of a typewriter again, convincing Bernard to accept his point of view.

Morning, Laon Front, Normandy - Capet stronghold
"You have been waiting for a long time, Your Excellency Capet." The Duke of Normandy straightened his military uniform and wiped his sword well.

Capet showed a slight smile, and crossed his legs leisurely, "Yeah, I'm already over half a hundred years old, and if I don't act, I will have no chance, although the actual political power of Frank was in my hands a few years ago , but after all, it is short of a reputation, today can be regarded as a dream come true."

"After the matter is completed, you agree to my conditions, but you must keep your word." The Duke of Normandy didn't care about Capet's thoughts, and he was only thinking about his own calculations.

"Don't worry, after this is done, the Normandy region will gain more autonomy, and you can also be your Duke like the king of an independent principality." Duke Capet also readily agreed.

The Duke of Normandy was laughing, "I'm pretty much done now, and there's no shortage of money and armaments. I'm not a person who cares about fame. It's better to be more realistic at this time."

"You are also a shrewd person. I promise you that what I promised you before will not be less for you afterwards."

"The enmity of more than ten years ago can finally be settled today." The Duke of Normandy drew his sword and slashed at the curtain, and the curtain was cut straight.

Normandy stared at the tent of the Duke of Lorraine not far from the other side, and slowly inserted the sword back into the scabbard.

"I, Richard, swear, when Louis IV humiliated me, I will now bury his dynasty with my own hands to appease the hatred in my heart."

"Cooperate well, wait for the triumphant return, and celebrate with champagne at night." Duke Capet seemed to have a plan in mind.

"When all the support troops arrive at noon, let's start to act. I will reorganize the troops first." The Duke of Normandy left the tent directly, Capet put on his cloak, and followed him out.

Noon, Normandy - Capet base camp
"Your Excellency Edward, you are here." The Duke of Normandy watched the arrival of the Marquis Edward, as if he had finally found the person he wanted to wait for.

"I met friendly troops on the road, and there was a little misunderstanding on the way, so I was delayed for a while." Edward explained the accident that happened before. The Duke didn't care to listen, but hurriedly brought Edward's troops into the large army to integrate.

The Duke wanted to organize Edward's troops into the main army, but the number was too small and they were all light cavalry, so he had to put them in the flank phalanx as commander.

"I thought you could bring at least 800 people here, but I didn't expect that there are only less than [-] people here. Where does your salary go?"

Edward also smiled wryly, "When Otto called, I suffered along with it, and Lothar will definitely cause trouble. I haven't recovered yet."

Normandy patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "It's okay. After this is done, we can guarantee that the equipment and manpower can be improved a lot. Go ahead."

After exchanging greetings with the Duke of Normandy, Edward took his troops to the flank target, with a mysterious smile on his face.

Noon, near Edward's tent
"It seems that they have already left." Li Peijun stood on a high place and looked at the camp below where the smoke had been extinguished.

"I said Tiddell, is your feeling accurate or not?" Li Peijun still wonders if this guy Tiddell just wants to have a blood addiction on the battlefield.

"It's all here, let's go and have a look." Cohen persuaded from the side.

Bernard also echoed, "A true knight must have the spirit of exploration."

"Since when did knights have the spirit of exploration? Isn't that what adventurers should do?" Li Peijun felt that Bernard had stayed with him for a long time, and his words had become more crooked.

"One more person is more strength, let's go ahead and have a look." Tiedle finally spoke.

Li Peijun felt that he was isolated by these people, and everyone didn't know what to think about, "It's not something that can be won by a few more people in a war. Isn't it just to scare the opponent? Could it be that kid Tiddell thinks Do you want to secretly do black hands?" Li Peijun seemed to think of something terrible, and his head started to hurt again.

"I'm so sleepy, I seem to be sleeping in that tent." Li Peijun yawned and stretched himself. After all, he had been on the road all night, and his energy had long been exhausted.

"A mission appears and the battle is won."

"What?" Li Peijun regained his energy all of a sudden, and immediately returned to full blood.

"How could this be? Could it be that the exchange of fire has already begun?"

"Let's go, quicken the pace." Li Peijun immediately flattered and left, and the others followed without knowing why.

　Capet: The Duke of France, named after wearing a short shawl cloak called "Capet" all the year round. Before the death of Louis V, he had actually controlled the highest power in Frankland.

　　Lothair I: The father of Louis V, who was in alliance with Capet in the early days of his reign, and later broke up due to political differences. During his reign, he launched an attack on the Holy Roman Empire. Soon after achieving initial results, he was defeated by Emperor Otto II of the Holy Roman Empire Laon, Compiègne, Soissons, and Paris were devastated.

　　Duke of Normandy: Richard II the Fearless, was imprisoned by Lothair I's father Louis IV when he was a child, and then regained his freedom with the help of Capet's father Hugo, and the two have formed an alliance since then.

　　Duke of Lower Lorraine: Charles, uncle of Louis V, failed to compete with Lothair I for the Frankish throne and was appointed Duke of Lower Lorraine by Otto.
