Public trial?You deserve it too!

In fact, he wants to go south, to the southeastern Danube River Basin, to see what is going on in the Theocracy. If there is a chance, it is best to lead the army to rub against the opponent's regular troops, and then go to the territory of Wallachia. Have a look.

Anyway, he has an affair, and he is not afraid to travel all over the world.

In this era of cold weapons, what does the system's early warning range of ten kilometers mean? It means that he has no chance to encounter encounters and ambushes in this life, unless the opposite side can dispatch a large army to play a big roundabout encirclement. In a large-scale battlefield, with his strength and systematic information collection——

Claude is an absolute god.

Therefore, the courageous Claude of Yigao submitted an ambitious plan to go south to the imperial border for training, and planned to use his own sword to see the quality of the imperial country.

Then it was not the notice from the Ministry of War that came, but Heinrich—the emperor rejected his plan very quickly.

Claude was a little confused. He was attached to the Ninth Knights of the Royal Guards. The emperor's direct decision over the Ministry of War was not a leapfrog command, but... this is a simple "training". It is necessary for the emperor to intervene in this matter. part?

And the news brought by Heinrich is also very "ambiguous": It is possible to go south, but the border between the Empire and the Church is too far away, so it will not be allowed. Another place, I think the Principality of Saxony is good, if not Bohemia Provinces are also fine, let’s talk about going to the southeast of the mainland later...

For this reason, Claude will not be able to rectify it directly. What is "too far away so it will not be passed"?And going to those two places, isn't it pure training?Doesn't it make sense to have a hammer on the battlefield?

So Claude struggled for a while, wondering if the old emperor felt that if he went south, he might be tricked by the Theocracy, so he gave such an order, so he sent himself to the eastern border to meet the elves The idea was directly cancelled, and the next best thing was to ask if it was possible to go north and go to the Qianli Snow Mountain to fight a safari with the orcs.

Then Heinrich came back half a day after he went back, still saying the same thing.

"Too far, not allowed."

Then the emperor still looked like a good man, saying that going north is fine, but you can’t run too far. I think the Osfjord side is good, with sufficient supplies and continuous mountains. If you want to exercise the leg strength of the troops, go to How is it over there...

Claude looked at Heinrich with a subtle expression.

"...Ask a question. If you find it difficult, you don't need to answer it." Claude said the following words without waiting for Heinrich to nod. "Your Majesty...do you often speak in this negotiating tone?"

The court mage shook his head with a strange expression.

"Never seen."

He even emphasized it.

"there has never been!"

Claude nodded: "I understand. Please report to Your Majesty that I am willing to go to the Osfjord for an exercise, and I will re-draw the marching route and plan, and submit the plan again to the Ministry of War for review."

"Ok."

Heinrich nodded, turned and left, leaving Claude alone, looking at the map on the table, lost in thought.

【Why does the old emperor act like he's afraid of bumping into you? 】

The doubts of the system are obvious.

[This is inconsistent with your previous conclusion. If the emperor really wants you to control the army in the future, it is impossible to put layers of shackles on you now. It is impossible for generals who talk about war on paper to be entrusted with important tasks. 】

Claude was a little silent, he really couldn't understand what the old emperor was thinking - he was no longer Christina's fiancé, why would the emperor do such an exaggeration to keep him away from danger?

Although the Osfjord is not on the mainland, it is actually not dangerous. It was originally an important station for the North Sea Fleet. In essence, going to that place is actually no different from going to the Principality of Saxony or the province of Bohemia. It's simply going to practice, the degree of danger is no different from that of a vacation.

Claude is not a person who is ignorant of current affairs. The two proposals were rejected, which has already made clear the emperor's attitude - this time, he should not think about any unexpected incidents, and just practice honestly in the empire.

"I'm not too sure. After all, who can guess the emperor's mind?"

Claude sighed.

"In short, let's follow the other party's wishes first. If the emperor really wants to raise me as a breeding pig, then I can only simply order it——If it doesn't work, let the identity of [Knight Claude] be completed as soon as possible, and go to the teaching country. Julien's line activates."

[The side of Shire and Gorman...]

"It's not that far yet, there's no need to make so many preparations." Claude shook his head. "Even if you are sure that the old emperor is thinking about these things, there is still time. Don't make trouble for yourself now."

He looked towards the Ausfjord, as if he was looking for a suitable venue and route.

"If that day comes...it's really regrettable, after all, they are all talents, it's a pity..."

After that, Claude never discussed this matter again. Instead, he carefully and systematically planned the training plan of the Knights, and after obtaining the approval of the Ministry of War and the Emperor, he led the team to the Osfjord, And conduct training and military exercises in the nearby mountains.

Such days lasted until the Brumaire of the Year of Hyacinth and Snow Bunting, and almost half a year later, the Emperor sent someone to send a message to Claude again.

"coming."

Claude narrowed his eyes, the emperor's true attitude is probably about to be shown now.

He stood up and followed the messenger until he walked to the gate of the temporary barracks.

The person who came was not Heinrich, but a team of guard knights, but the leader of the team, Claude, also knew it. Obviously, the emperor was afraid that the person who came would send the wrong letter.

"Is it the head of the Ninth Knights of the Guards, Lord Claude?"

Of course Ernst also recognized Claude, but the procedure still had to be followed. He got off his horse and walked up to Claude alone.

"Exactly."

"Her Majesty's order."

The knight solemnly took out a letter from the armor on his chest and handed it to Claude.

Claude didn't open it immediately, but waved his hand behind him, and the guards who followed immediately retreated ten meters away.

Then he opened the secret letter and read it carefully.

Claude put the finished letter back in the envelope, pondered for a while, and looked up at Ernst.

"Is the fleet ready?"

"Get ready. Your Majesty said that he wants to see the training situation of the Ninth Knights in the past six months. Therefore, the fleet is currently docked at Norrköping Port. You need to start a long-distance march immediately so that you can meet the deadline."

Ernst replied.

"I understand."

Claude nodded.

"Knight Ernst must have worked hard on the long journey, but unfortunately, His Majesty's military order is urgent, and I will lead the team to set off tonight, so there is no way to keep you down for a few days to rest, please forgive me."

"Your Majesty ordered us to return to the imperial capital immediately after we communicated the order to you, so we are about to leave now."

Ernst Knight didn't mean to say much.

"Then, I look forward to seeing you in the imperial capital, Your Excellency Ernst."

"I look forward to seeing you in the imperial capital, Your Excellency Claude."

The two saluted each other, and then Ernst returned to his horse and led the team towards the port.

Claude looked at the messenger: "Go, find the Dothan knight, and let him come to my tent to find me immediately."

The other party immediately took the order, and Claude looked at the guard who followed.

"Go and call all the long knight captains to my tent, I have an urgent military order to issue."

"Yes!"

-------------------------------------------------- -----------

Outside Claude's tent, a group of knights filed out, all with serious and excited faces - after all, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to personally test their strength, so no one wanted to delay or be fooled, and returned immediately In the troops under their command, the commanding subordinates began to prepare for the long-distance march.

"Fortunately, I prepared supplies here on a one-year basis. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be too late to deal with such a sudden attack."

Claude looked at the distance between the two places, his expression was not very good.

Although it is still only a foggy moon, the heavy snow has already fallen, and the two places, which were not connected by official roads, can basically be judged to be in a state of isolation.

【Why did the emperor want you to board the ship in Norrkoping? It's just a small port, right?Although the letter said that knights and non-cavaliers should march separately, but even if there are 4000 pure knights and tens of thousands of horses, can it really be shipped there? 】

"Even if I can't start the shipment, I will go there. After all, this is the order given to me by the emperor."

The young knight leader sighed.

"However, it's great that you don't have to take that dragoon regiment with you. Knights can rely on magic power. If ordinary people march in this weather... Tsk, maybe they can point out a way with the help of corpses. gone."

The order given by the emperor was very strange. He ordered the knights of the Ninth Knights to carry out long-distance training, but the Dragoons did not have to follow, and stayed at the current station to continue waiting.

[This doesn't seem to depend on the results of your training, but rather... a secret march? 】

"What a coincidence, that's what I thought too."

Claude tapped on the map.

"The emperor neither allowed me to board the ship from Osfjord, nor did he allow me to return to the Jutland Peninsula by crossing the Oresund Strait. Instead, he asked me to make a big circle and board the ship from Norrkoping. It is clear that I don’t want me to go to the big port to attract attention—and leaving the dragoon regiment will not only make my march faster, but also act as a suspicious soldier, pretending that I am still stationed there.”

[But what is the significance of this march?The emperor finally wanted you to rush back to the imperial capital in Xueyue, what did he want you to do? 】

"I don't know yet, but now that I think about it, the emperor's reason of 'too far away to pass' seems to have some deep meaning..."

Claude recalled that the emperor was probably already preparing for this secret march at that time - because if it was too far away, it would be difficult to return to the imperial capital within a year after forming a degree of organization.

"...It seems that the imperial capital will be very lively during the Chinese New Year this year."

Claude frowned. Since he left the imperial capital, all sources of information can only be relied on the mansion newspaper at the port, which is basically isolated from the world.

But he was also happy and safe, and lived a happy life without barbecued pork, huskies, and love brains.

"...what to do, I don't even want to go back to the imperial capital."

Claude looked sad, and when he thought of facing those strange people, he felt a feeling of wanting to escape - obviously there was no threat to him, but it always made him exhausted.

"What the hell is this..."

【Well, teacher... I just have a guess, it may not be right—that is, is there such a possibility... In fact, no one has cared about you before, and no one has loved you, so you get used to it After lack of love, you will be so at a loss in the face of these cares and loves. 】

Claude was silent, but the system obviously turned on some strange switch, and it was still talking...

[That is, look, you are very good at dealing with people who want to take advantage of you, or people who want to play tricks, right?But when a person really comes to you out of concern, or admiration, you behave... well, you can't say that you are at a loss, you can only say that you are at a loss. 】

[Think about your bottom line, teacher, "I don't know how to use real kindness", is it because you have never met real kindness at all, and you don't know how to respond, so you subconsciously decide to use your best kindness to What about the response?I think not to take advantage of it should be the greatest kindness you can have for a person, right? 】

"..."

It was not until a long time later that Claude spoke again.

"Did I say before that no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak?"

【Why?I said it. 】

"Then remember this sentence and don't make me repeat it again."

Learn from me: Chapter 203 Chapter 180 Chapter [-] Christina is showing her talent

Although Claude is about to suffer from PTSD about celebrating the New Year in the imperial capital, since it is His Majesty's order, of course it cannot be discounted.

Therefore, just like when he was still at the Imperial Military University, in order to ensure the rapid progress of the entire team, he once again walked at the forefront, serving as the vanguard of his own knight order—in order to prevent the troops from getting lost and delay too long time.

So when he rushed to the boarding place designated by the emperor again with his own troops, he surprised the commander of the North Sea Fleet who was waiting there for them.

"Fortunately, I don't have the habit of procrastinating. Otherwise, if you are all here and I haven't arrived, I will probably jump off the mast in shame."

Major General Reinhard shook hands with Claude.

"Then I am looking forward to your performance. After all, His Majesty's time limit is still very tight. I think you must be a vigorous and decisive person?"

"It will not let you down."

The major general laughed.

As it turned out, Major General Reinhard did have two brushes—which is probably why he received the mission.There was no replenishment at the port along the way, and Claude's people were directly sent from the Baltic Sea to the inland under the condition of ensuring that everyone had enough supplies.

Of course, all the war horses were left in Norrkoping. After all, for the empire that had already acquired the vast grasslands to the east of the mainland, it was not worthwhile to use warships to transport [-] horses—just replace them with new ones.

So when Claude stepped off the battleship and set foot on land, the time had just come to the end of the frosty moon. Let alone the New Year, the imperial capital was not even covered with snow.

The current Ninth Knights of the Guards is stationed in the camp of the Seventh Knights of the Guards. It is only tens of kilometers away from the imperial capital.

However, the emperor's order was for Claude to bring people to stay here and wait for the order.

【So the emperor really seems to be planning to hide you? 】

"It's almost the same. It seems that the emperor will not be too peaceful this year."

Claude looked relieved.

"Finally you don't have to live in the Ludwig Manor. That place is for people to live in? You might as well just give me a knife."

[A man behind the scenes like you has to keep his tail between his legs. In a sense, the Ludwig Manor is also a scary place. 】

"Yeah, it's terrible..."

"Commander, the carriage is ready."

The words of Major Dothan who walked in almost made Claude lose his footing.

"...Major Dothan, what did you say?"
