This thick middle-aged male voice seemed to have some magic, which made Otto's body stop.
Otto put down his hand that had lifted the curtain halfway, then frowned, turned around, and looked at the sound full of displeasure:
"Hmph, isn't this Alan Jones who escaped in shame after another defeat? What did you mean by what you said just now?"
The owner of the middle-aged male voice just now was Alan, who had just escaped from Pandragorn.
After being defeated by Su Cheng again at the city of Pandragon, Alan and Eber rushed to the Rhineland Plain, the safest place in the Britannian Empire, for them.
Although the journey was a bit long, Alan and Eber were lucky. They did not encounter any accidents along the way and arrived at the Frank army camp 2 days ago.
After arriving at the Frank Army camp, Alan stayed, while Eber did not stay for much. After a short rest in the camp, he set off directly back home.
After Allen started a mutiny, Eber's mission was completed and he could return to his country to report.
However—because I wanted to see the fall of Pandragon with my own eyes, Eber stayed by Alan and planned to go back after seeing the historic scene with my own eyes.
It’s a pity that what happened later made Eber both disappointed and angry.
I have witnessed the fall of Pandragorn with my own eyes - such a thing will not be seen in the short term.
Since there is no way to see Pandragorn fall, it will be meaningless to continue to stay in the army and stay in the territory of the Britannian Empire.
Therefore, Eber did not hesitate any more, and followed Alan to the Rhineland Plain successfully, took a break, and then continued to go east.
According to Eber's journey, he should have successfully crossed the Rhine and returned to the Frank Empire.

Before "surrendering" to the Britannian Empire, Allen's military rank was a general.
Now that he returns to the Frank Empire, Allen is naturally restored to his post and has regained the title of "General Jones".
It is precisely because of Alan's rank of general that although most generals and officials in the army did not like Alan, they could only treat him with courtesy.
In the past two days, Walter has always regarded Allen as a guest of honor and gave Allen the best treatment.
However, although Walter gave Allen all the quality treatment he could provide, he did not give Allen one thing: real power in the army.
Simply put, on the Rhineland Plain, Allen was a commander with no troops under his command for him to send.
The subtext of Walter doing this is that you don’t need your help in the military now, so stay wherever you feel comfortable.
Alan's attitude towards the neglect he has been suffering at the moment is to accept it calmly.
After all, as a civilian, he has long been used to the bad attitudes of the nobles towards him.
And - he just finished a defeat.
With such a bad record, Allen really doesn't have the shame to complain about why Walter didn't give him military power.
Although there is no real power in the military, Allen is still qualified to participate in the military conference.
In every military meeting, Allen sat in the corner, listening quietly to the content of the meeting without saying a word.
Originally, at this meeting today, Allen wanted to remain silent as always.
But the few words in Otto's speech just now changed Alan's expression and his brows were frowning uncontrollably.
In the end, he couldn't suppress his almost uncontrollable mouth and called out Otto.
After being stopped by Allen, Otto asked Allen with an unhappy face, what did he mean by what he said just now.
"Nothing interesting." Allen continued to say lightly, "It's just literal. I hope you don't underestimate Su Cheng too much."
"General Holvig, you just said confidently - "About 'on the command ability on the water, that Su Chengding is not as good as you'."
"Please be honest - General Holvig, you are a little too arrogant."
"That Su Cheng is not an ordinary person. Slighting him will only get a heavy price."
"Su Cheng was only 17 years old when he was in charge of the army for the first time."
"At that time, everyone felt that Su Cheng, who had no military experience in fighting, could not command the troops well."
"Then—I believe everyone here should know what happened after that."
"You can always do things on the battlefield that others think he can't do - this is Su Cheng's style of military use."
"Although from Su Cheng's previous life history, he has never fought a water battle."
"But, never done and can't do it - there should be no inevitable causal relationship between these two things, right?"
"So-I hope you, General Holvig..."
Before Allen could finish his words, Otto shouted impatiently as if he had heard enough of it:
"Enough!"
"Why do I have to listen to the preaching of a civilian and a defeated general?"
"Alan Jones, I understand your fear of that Su Cheng."
"After all, you have lost to him twice."
"Faced with someone who defeats you twice, you will feel scared, it is reasonable, and I can understand and sympathize with you."
"But you are exaggerating in this alarmist situation, it's yours!"
"You are afraid of that Su Cheng, but I am not afraid of that Su Cheng!"
"As long as the troops for my command are our royal fleet, no one can beat me on the water!"
"Even that Su Cheng is no exception."
After saying that, Otto, who was unwilling to talk to Alan and did not want to listen to Alan's words, stopped staying in the tent. With a "huh", he opened the curtain of the big tent and strode out of the big tent.
Watching Otto leave, a little helplessness appeared in Allen's eyes.
After staying in Allen's eyes for a moment, this little helplessness turned into a sigh and spit out of Allen's mouth...

Britannian Empire, on a tributary of the Issu River.
Today is a cloudy day.
Under the dark sky, the joint fleet of the Knights of Michael and the Imperial Navy lined up in a narrow and long marching formation and advanced in an orderly manner on a tributary of the Issu River.
The bow of the warship moving forward separated the water surface, causing splashes of water.
The splashing water sparkled with millions of silver lights, dotted with warships, and also decorated with a stable river like a mirror.
As the leader of the Knights of Michael, Su Cheng was undoubtedly the supreme commander of this Eastern Expedition. The ship he was riding on was naturally the flagship - the Shiperian.
At this time, Su Cheng was standing on the deck of the Hipperian, looking at the surrounding scenery.
Also standing on the deck to watch the scenery was Su Cheng's adjutant, Willy, deputy commander of the Knights of Michael.
Su Cheng was on a whim and walked out of the cabin to see the scenery outside the boat.
