Public trial?You deserve it too!

【...That's right, after all, she's earning money while lying down. 】

"Of course. That's it. No matter how many people want to recite it, there is no such way."

The boy turned his horse's head and walked towards the nearby Lightning Knights barracks.

After all, he is the captain of a long knight, and now he is about to go out for a long time, so it is very reasonable to go to condolences to his subordinates first.

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

"The first knife, cut down."

The man in robe looked at the information brought by the woman and laughed softly.

"Yes, nearly a hundred knights of the Lightning Knights retired due to age. They are all Wallachians, but these people did not return to the original Claude's fiefdom after retirement, but all entered the imperial capital. Orphan Gang, including the most famous marshal in Wallachia, Galapash, of course, the external name is the former logistics director of Galapash, Gorman."

The woman bowed respectfully, admiring the lord's keen insight in her heart.

"We all know that these knights are absolutely loyal to the Wallachia royal family, so the one who can really order them must be the remnant of Dragurina, and she is now Christina's guardian knight, so this behavior must be It's an instruction from the Princess of Verdun!"

"It's really very patient. I waited for more than half a year before taking action cautiously again. It seems that Her Royal Highness is really worried about her traces being discovered."

The man in robe flipped through the information in his hand, with a little teasing in his voice.

"This time, she probably understands that using Claude three times in a row will not only make her more exposed, but there is really no reason for Claude to miss his studies at the Imperial Military University. Killing him for an egg Her hen, if you do this, it will be too cheap."

"My lord, it should be called a rooster."

The woman made a joke.

"Rooster and hen don't matter, let him finish his studies. Since Christina took the initiative to send him out of the chess game, we don't need to care too much. After all, in the imperial capital, we don't have enough time to use our power on irrelevant things. On the important pieces."

All Beings Are Sons: Chapter 97 Chapter 91 Temptation

"I didn't expect you to be the last to arrive."

Erwin raised an eyebrow.

"There are some more mission items, and I am considering the weight of my backpack."

Claude shrugged.

"Okay, we can report now. The college has kindly prepared us one person and two horses. We will form a team according to the number of the dormitory, and then head north."

Georgi picked up his package and looked around at the three roommates with a slightly confused look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Randolph looked at himself, but found nothing wrong.

"Oh, what I want to say is that I thought I would be the only one wearing leather armor, because I only have leather armor there. As you know, there is not much difference between wearing iron armor and leather armor when facing elves' bows and spells." Georgi scratched his head, "But I didn't expect the three of you to be wearing leather armor?"

"It's only Fengyue now, and the road to the north is not completely clear. Does wearing armor now mean that you want to freeze to death on the road?"

Randolph rolled his eyes, and Erwin and Claude nodded.

"Hey...is that so?"

Georgi scratched his head a little shyly, as if his IQ was pulling the crotch of his roommates. He really didn't think about the temperature. He only remembered the words "fully armed" written on the notice.

"Let's decide on the captain first, everyone will fight side by side in the next year and a half, a fixed command is more important than anything else." Erwin spread his hands, "I suggest Claude to be the captain, after all, he is the strongest. "

"I have no objection." Randolph looked indifferent. He originally had this idea. After all, he had a detailed understanding of how outrageous things this roommate has done.

"Neither have I." Georgie was even less objectionable. After all, he had an own trouble just now, and he was indeed very unfamiliar with the situation in the north, so he didn't have the guts to ask her to direct her.

"Then I don't have any reason to shirk." Claude didn't mean to be courteous at all. It's best to have the command right in his own hands. "In short, I only have one sentence, and no one will retreat after me."

After ordering the commander, the four of them carried supplies and packages and walked towards the stables.

"In the end, someone still wore armor and went on the road."

"Normal, they will change it after they suffer, but it may take a lot of time."

The four walked while chatting, and went to the teacher of the college to get supplies

"Your number is Team 107, here are your eight horses, and a tent for four people, you can choose to use it or not, and you don't need to return it, as long as you can arrive on time, no one cares about these things. The man with the scar on his face pointed to the horses and tents beside him, and grinned a smile that he thought might be kinder.

"Before deciding to receive the supplies, can I ask what our mission requirements are?" Claude asked calmly, "The previous notice only stated that the destination was the northern front, but I don't know where it is. .”

"This is a map, which is also distributed. You can open it yourself and take a look. The departure time is noon today. Before that, you can come to pick up the supplies at any time. The latest arrival time is 30 days. You must take land, except for crossing the river. , are not allowed to take a boat, and those who cannot arrive will be treated as failing."

The smile on the man's face became even more ferocious.

"In this period of time, as long as there are three failed tasks, they will be expelled directly, and as long as one person meets the standard, the entire team will be expelled together, so don't try to be a hero."

Claude thanked him, took the map and opened it, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

This map generously provided by the Academy is very concise and clear. It only shows a few cities and major rivers between the imperial capital and the Karelian fortress. There is nothing else, roads, lakes, bridges, and even a scale None, if not for the coastline of the Baltic Sea as a reference, Claude raised his hand and was about to throw it into the trash can.

The three of them came together to take a look, all frowning a little.

"The card is a bit tight. Our goal is the Karelian Fortress? It is at least 2000 kilometers away from the imperial capital." Randolph couldn't help frowning. "And the requirement is that you must travel by land. Whether the road to the north can still be used is a problem."

"And the most troublesome area is the area in the Bay of Riga, where the water network is densely covered, and the temperature is not low enough to freeze, so you must walk along the road, otherwise just crossing the river will make your scalp numb. And considering It's winter, and the horses might not be able to bear wading across the river," Erwin added.

"So the road ahead is going to be in a hurry."

Claude tapped the Bay of Riga on the map.

"What are you going to do?" Erwin asked.

"Space forward lightly, throw away tents and burdens, and only bring equipment and dry food. We will go directly to the Gulf of Riga, where we will re-purchase supplies for supplies, then go north to Tallinn Port, and then advance along the coastline until we reach the fortress."

"In this case, it's a bit of a detour." Erwin glanced at the route and nodded. "However, considering the unobstructed road in the north, it is worthwhile to make a detour. It can also avoid getting lost in bad weather. After all, just walk along the coastline."

Of course, Randolph and Georgie had no objections, so the four of them only took eight horses, and even unloaded part of the supplies in their backpacks, so that when they set off at noon, compared with the entire bloated team , these four people seemed to be ready to go out for an outing, attracting the attention of countless knights.

"It's a bit out of the crowd, and we really bring a lot less than them."

Georgi looked around and found that there were very few people wearing armor. Obviously, many people had reacted.

"No, we're not alone, look over there." Claude smiled and gestured to the team on the left, there was also a four-person team there, with less than what they brought.

"That's... Gustav? Did he go with you?" Randolph recognized him immediately.

"That knight genius from the Barr family?" Erwin also turned his gaze, "It seems that they are planning to use the same method as you."

"Then it seems that we probably won't be able to get the first place." Claude sighed a little regretfully, "I don't think this Mr. Barr will not be able to find a detailed map. We need to rely on detours to ensure the direction of travel and The road is clear, he probably doesn't need it."

"It's true, I actually asked my father to ask for it, but he said it was a coincidence and didn't allow me to bring the map." Erwin said a little resentfully, "But he was a little unhappy with me being a knight, probably They want me to drop out of school and go home to inherit the family business."

"Can you find your father's detailed marching map to the north?" Claude looked over with strange eyes.

"Um...it's just a simple map, marked with roads and bridges, for commercial use." Erwin smiled awkwardly, and quickly covered it up. "As a farmer, I always want to transport the autumn harvest to farther places and sell it at a good price, so I am more sensitive to the transportation route."

Claude nodded, since the other party was unwilling, there was no need to savor it further.He glanced at Randolph, who seemed hesitant to speak. This guy could probably get the map from home, and he reconfirmed in his heart that these two guys were definitely not free.

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

"I am very happy that in the year of pansies and larks, I can still see everyone who entered the school last year, which means that in the past school year, your hard work has not been in vain, and your hard work has made you all pass. Final test."

To Claude's surprise, at the departure ceremony at noon, the old man Karl who stood in front of them and spoke was actually the old man whom he had seen in the court.

"But this is not enough, it is far from enough! The empire does not need to be a waste of textbook knowledge just playing with sand tables and maps! Starting today, you will embark on a new journey. I can tell you with certainty that at least half of the All the people will bid farewell to the academy in this process, and maybe even more than a quarter of them will die, so if you want to drop out now, you can put it forward immediately."

No one answered, this risk was threatened as early as when signing up, no one would be stupid enough to put speculation in the Department of Warfare.

"Very well, let's go, future pillars of the empire, I assure you all, as long as you can live through all this, you will have a bright future! For the empire!"

"For the Empire!"

After the oath of the mountains and the tsunami, the team slowly started, and walked to the outside of the imperial capital along the long-cleared road.

"Who is that old man talking? Why haven't I taken his class?"

Claude is a little strange, he should have taken all the achievements... all the courses, why is there a professor he hasn't met?

"He's a professor in the Mage Department, I've met him before." Georgi answered unexpectedly.

"Mage department? Why did you come to us to mobilize?" Claude secretly paid attention to the expressions of Erwin and Randolph. Although the two men were a little tight-lipped, they would still reveal some information unconsciously.

"He represents His Majesty, so he can make that kind of promise."

Randolph said simply and apprehensively.

"Really? No wonder I saw him in the palace." Claude nodded. "I heard that there are very few established mage groups in the empire. He should be a member of the court mage group directly under His Majesty, right?"

"Yes." It was still Randolph's answer, and Erwin also showed an expression of sudden realization.

'It seems that Erwin still has relatively little information on this aspect. The other party is the same as the partial subjects of the grades, focusing on logistics supplies here. On the contrary, Randolph seems to know a little bit about everything, but it is obvious that the other party is more talkative than Erwin. Erwin is very strict and only says what can be said. '

Claude secretly noted the differences between the two.

[Are you preparing the basic power? 】

"It's just the simplest way to know people and be good at assignments. In terms of recruiting, I don't think there is much hope. They obviously don't like Augustus, and they have no reason to be loyal to Ludwig, so these two are neutral factions. When I come back next year and prepare to intervene in political struggles, I should check with Christina, and I should be able to screen them out. At that time, it will be easier to deal with them directly from their parents."

[Although what you said makes sense, it always sounds wrong. You dealt with their parents in the court just for the two of them? 】

"Anyway, it's just by the way, mainly to see the quality of these two families, because when I come back, the suspense of this battle for the succession is basically over. Two years after the Provence incident ended, the eldest prince did not have any contact with him." If the nobleman splits up, then he can just wait for death, and I will win."

Claude followed the team slowly.

"In fact, it is already possible to betray Augustus to death. Opportunities are always fleeting. In this case, it is always good to have more people with me. After all, if I become a commander After a year and a half, these three guys haven't convinced me, so I must have been infected with the barbecued pork virus."

【…】

"But speaking of it, I actually want to know more about the Barr family. If they are really loyal to Augustus, then it makes no sense for the heirs of the family not to be loyal to him when the head of the family is all in line. "

Claude looked at Gustav who also left the city lightly, with a look of interest in his eyes.

After the huge team left the imperial capital, everyone started to gallop on the road, some were fast and others were slow, and soon the teams separated. At night, there were basically only two teams, Claude and Gustav. Still running fast.

"The magic that Jung tested me last time, will you use it?"

[It can be used, although it is not in the formal magic system, but as long as I have seen it, I can use it. 】

"When I ask questions, help me test the four members of Gustav's team."

Claude made up his mind and immediately started to create topics.

"It seems that the other party really has the same plan as ours, and is going to attack the next supply point directly, but I don't know where the other party chooses the city."

"It's hard to say. After all, the other party may not plan to take a detour, so we estimate that we will part ways after crossing the Vistula River." Randolph said in a muffled voice.

"Then why don't I just ask this Mr. Gustav if he would like to join us?" Claude looked like he had a whim.

"Impossible, right? The Barr family belongs to His Royal Highness Augustus, and you belong to His Royal Highness Ludwig. How can there be any coexistence between the two of you?" Erwin laughed. "He's definitely not willing to share the chance of getting the first place with you."

"I'll try it, it doesn't cost money anyway."

Claude obviously thought of what to do, so he accelerated and chased after him.

"Hello, Knight Gustav!"

After hearing the greeting, no matter how reluctant Gustav was to talk to Claude, he had to respond.

"Hello, Knight Claude, what can I do?"

"Are you also planning to rush directly to the next supply point? In this case, how about we go together? There is always a mutual support when there are many people."

All Beings Are Sons: Chapter 98 Chapter 92 Northward

Claude asked Gustav with a smile, and the system followed his instructions and began to use magic to detect the reactions of the four people.

"...No need."

Gustav looked at Claude a little speechlessly, who didn't regard himself as an outsider at all. Does this guy know whose subordinate he and he are under?He can't really be so innocent, can he?

"Why? With so many people, only our two teams thought of this method. I think we will get along very well."

Claude didn't seem to think about these things at all, and sent out the invitation so warmly and sincerely that Gustav felt that he should feel guilty for his partisanship.

"We are now in a competitive relationship, and I don't have the habit of sharing glory with others." Gustav finally refused. He didn't want to make it difficult for his brother and father, even though they said they didn't need him The eldest prince is loyal, but this does not mean that he will fall into the arms of their enemies.

"Oh, well, I wish you all the best."

Claude nodded regretfully, and didn't continue to say anything. He slowed down the speed of the horse slightly, and joined Erwin and the others following behind.

"Let me tell you, it's impossible for him to agree." Erwin shrugged, "The current patriarch of the Barr family is the first group of people who pledged their allegiance to Augustus. It can even be said that the rise of this family and this allegiance are both They are closely related. Of course, the abilities of the patriarch Heinz and the eldest son Gutenberg are indeed outstanding."

"Is Gustav even loyal to the First Prince?" Claude's voice was obviously a little curious, "But the day after I came back from the palace dinner, he took the initiative to say hello to me. "

"Huh? Is there such a thing?" Randolph's interest also came, "Let's think about it, Gustav's allegiance... It seems that it has never been publicly shown? Everyone used to default to the Barr family's allegiance, but the current The patriarch Heinz and Gutenberg both had public allegiances, but this Mister Gustav certainly did not."

"So, I'm a little interested in this family." Claude looked at the four-person team who had already distanced themselves from them. "Does any of you know the story of this family?"
