Chapter 1471 Under the Emperor's Sword
This is a blue, metal sword with extremely gorgeous shapes.
With this exquisite shape, it is not difficult to see that this sword is not a "combat-type" sword at all, but a "decorative" sword.
If an outsider is here, when you see this sword, you may only think that it is just a particularly exquisitely designed decorative sword.
However, a senior military officer like Su Cheng could see at a glance what kind of sword this sword was.
After seeing the appearance of the sword, Su Cheng's eyes widened.
"Your Majesty! This, this is..."
"No," Ilsa nodded with a smile, "This sword is the emperor sword that symbolizes the highest military power in the country!"
After saying that, Ilsa held the imperial sword in her hand in both hands, and handed it to Su Cheng in front of her.
"Teacher Cheng, I will give this imperial sword that symbolizes the highest military power in the country to you for the time being."
"You can use this imperial sword to kill anyone who dares to disobey your military orders."
"Even a knight, you can kill him as he pleases!"
As soon as Ilsa finished speaking, Su Cheng hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty! I can't take this imperial sword!"
The imperial sword symbolizes the supreme military power of the Britannian Empire.
Generally, only the emperor can hold the imperial sword.
Since the founding of the Britannian Empire, no one except the emperor has ever had the opportunity to hold the imperial sword.
Not to mention eating, people other than the emperor do not even have the qualifications to touch the imperial sword.
And Ilsa now wants to hand over this imperial sword that symbolizes great significance to him - how dare Su Cheng take it?
And Ilsa smiled slightly as if she had guessed Su Cheng's reaction long ago:
"Teacher Cheng, you can take this sword."
"The reason why I want to hand over this sword to you is to let everyone see my determination to destroy the Frank Empire and end the Hundred Years' War!"
"At the same time, let everyone see my trust in you."
"Teacher Cheng, you have heard of it more or less recently? After I decided that you would be the commander-in-chief of the Watch Rhine Project, whether it is the central government or local government, many people have always suggested to me that you cannot be the commander-in-chief of the Watch Rhine Project."
"The reason they gave is that you cannot let your military achievements go further."
"Your achievements are so high that you can't be sealed."
"So they think you should no longer be allowed to participate in a war of this scale, nor should you have this opportunity to gain military achievements."
"Some people even say that if you take your military achievements further, your prestige will surpass mine."
"I hand over the imperial sword to you to tell these people who only know how to talk nonsense - I absolutely trust Su Cheng! I believe that Su Cheng will help our Britannian Empire complete the feat of "end the Hundred Years' War"!"
"By the way, I will also help you shock some of the thorns in the army."
Speaking of this, Ilsa paused.
Then he changed into a half-joking tone:
"Although it is up to Teacher Cheng, you are in the army, no matter whether you have the help of the imperial sword or not, the thorns in the army will not dare to disobey you."
Su Cheng looked at the imperial sword in Ilsa's hand with a complicated expression.
After a while—
"……I see."
Su Cheng knelt on one knee, then raised his hands and respectfully took over the imperial sword from Ilsa's hand.
"The emperor promised his Majesty that I will definitely defeat the Frank Empire! End the Hundred Years' War!"

March 25, 300th year of the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire—
Britannian Empire, Rhine Front, somewhere—
"Brother, do you need me to help you wear armor?"
"You are asking this question too slowly, right? I have put on my armor before you come and ask me if I need help..."
"Do you need me to put on your cloak?"
"No need. Alan, you go outside and wait for me first. I'll go out later."
"Okay." Alan paused, "Brother, now all the troops have been assembled outside, waiting for your pre-war speech. Have you figured out what to say?"
"Of course I've thought about it." Su Cheng said angrily, "You can go out first."
"good--"
Alan pulled out of Su Cheng's room with a long tone.
After Alan walked out of the room, Su Cheng picked up the bracelet on the table in front of him and put it neatly on his left wrist.
Then, he turned his eyes to a sword stand beside him.
This sword frame is a sword of great significance to Su Cheng and the entire Britannian Empire - the imperial sword that symbolizes the highest military power in the country.
Su Cheng hung his knight's sword around his left waist.
Then put his right hand on the imperial sword.
After stroking the delicate patterns on the scabbard of Huihuang Sword with his fingers, Su Cheng grabbed the imperial sword, held it tightly in his hand, and then walked out of the room with great strides.
...
...
March 25th - This day should be the longest day since the founding of the Frank Empire.
Five days ago, Su Cheng successfully arrived at the Rhine Front and quickly took over the command of the entire army.
Today, 5 days later, Su Cheng made a brief but inspiring speech in front of the 300,000 army.
After Su Cheng released this pre-scheduled speech that was enough to be recorded in history, the 300,000 troops of the Britannian Empire were divided into four routes and launched a full-scale attack on the Frank Empire.
Deng Jiaer was commanded by the route, with a total force of 50,000.
All the way, Alisha was commanded by the total force of 50,000.
Issel was commanded by the route, with a total force of 100,000.
The last journey was commanded by Su Cheng himself, and the total force was 100,000.
Four armies launched an attack on the Frank Empire from different directions.
This "Watching Rhine" plan can be said to be a gathering of stars.
Su Cheng acts as the head coach and Issel acts as the deputy coach.
Most of the mighty generals of the Michael Knights, such as Alisha, Dengzal, Alan, Samuel, Gary, and Del, participated in this battle.
The same is true for the Knights of Gabriel. Most of the powerful generals of the Knights of Gabriel participated in this battle that was destined to leave a strong mark in history books.
Three days after the 300,000 Britannian army launched a full-scale attack on the Frank Empire, the 80,000 army of the Holy Hillan Empire also began to set off south.
The original plan of Emperor Vahiri of the Holy Hiran Empire was to allow the Far Eastern Front and the Southeast Front to form a joint corps to launch an attack on the Frank Empire.
However, because the baggage reserves were insufficient to support such a large army to launch an expedition, Wahiri's plan could only be abandoned.
They can only let the strongest corps of the Holy Hillan Empire, the Far Eastern Front, fight alone.
Since El led the Far Eastern Front to defeat the grassland people and drove the grassland people all the way to the farther east, the reputation of the Far Eastern Front has risen with El.
Up to now, the Far Eastern Front Army has a very high reputation in the Holy Hillan Empire.
