October 20, 290 AD in the Britannia Empire.
This is a day destined to go down in history.
The 26th roundtable meeting of the Britannia Empire's highest-level meeting will officially begin at 9 o'clock in the morning on this day!
…
October 20, 290 AD in the Britannia Empire.
8 o'clock sharp in the morning.
Empire of Britannia, Pendragon, White Square.
"stand at attention!!"
Following this loud roar, groups of soldiers on the white field immediately stood up straight and readied their weapons.
Pendragon's mayor, a middle-aged man with a big belly, inspected the elite soldiers assembled in the White Square.
"In one hour, the roundtable meeting is about to begin!"
Mayor Pendragon's serious voice clearly reached the ears of every soldier.
"During the round table meeting, the strictness of security cannot be overemphasized! All members are on the highest level of alert! No spies or assassins from the enemy country can be allowed to sneak in! Thieves from the enemy country must not be allowed to sneak in!
Ruin the meeting!!”
"clear!!!"
…
8:30 am.
Frankish Empire, Imperial Capital Belu.
In the palace located in the center of the imperial capital Belu, a middle-aged man with half-white hair was lying on a recliner with his eyes closed and relaxing.
This middle-aged man is none other than the Emperor of the Frankish Empire, Shad von Soren.
Just when Emperor Xia De was closing his eyes to rest,
"His Majesty."
A mighty man dressed as a military general quickly came to Xia De's side and saluted the emperor respectfully:
"In half an hour, the round table meeting of the Britannia Empire will begin."
After listening to the strong man's words, Shade softly said "hmm", while slowly opening his eyes that were originally closed.
Revealing a pair of eyes with extremely sharp sight.
"Did our spies and assassins successfully infiltrate Pendragon?"
"Your Majesty, no spies or assassins have infiltrated Pendragon."
"What a bunch of rubbish..."
There was a bit of anger in Shade's tone.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not because our spies and assassins are incompetent, but because Pendragon's security work is really good."
"snort."
After Shade snorted heavily with his nose, he continued:
"Forget it, if you can't get in, you can't get in. Give me the order and keep an eye on the round table meeting! Once you have any new information, report it to me immediately!"
"yes!"
"Okay, you go down first."
"yes!"
Just when the strong man was about to retreat, Shade suddenly stopped him:
"Wait, help me call Erwin over."
Shade said as he stood up from the recliner.
"I want to have a good discussion with him about the expedition to the grasslands. If we don't completely defeat the grassland people in the Far East, we will never be able to concentrate on dealing with the Britannia Empire. Get Erwin to me as quickly as possible.
Call over!"
"yes!"
After the strong man responded again, he took steps and left quickly.
…
8:40 am.
Luolin Empire, the imperial capital is Tuli.
In the Royal Bath in the Luolin Imperial Palace.
A woman who looked very young was taking a bath comfortably in the royal bathhouse.
"Sure enough, taking a milk bath or something is the most comfortable~"
This woman was none other than Queen Bella, who had just signed the extremely humiliating Treaty of Troyes with the Britannia Empire.
One of Queen Bella's hobbies is milk baths.
This so-called milk bath is a real milk bath.
The bath was filled with the freshest milk, and the milk was specially heated to the most suitable temperature before being poured into the bath.
The bath used by the Queen is so huge that even 50 people can jump in without feeling crowded.
Just thinking about how much milk it costs to take a milk bath is scary.
Just when Queen Bella was taking a milk bath comfortably, an old male voice suddenly came from outside the bath:
"Your Majesty, there are still 20 minutes left, and the round table meeting of the Britannia Empire is about to begin."
The owner of this old male voice was the old civil servant who had previously angrily scolded Bancroft for not going too far. This old civil servant was a high-status official in the Luo Lin Empire.
After Queen Bella heard what this old civil servant said, her beautiful eyebrows immediately frowned:
"The Britannia Empire is holding that meeting, what does it have to do with me?"
"His Majesty……"
There was a hint of helplessness and pain in the tone of the old civil servant.
"The Round Table Conference is the highest-level meeting in the Britannia Empire. It will not be held unless there are extremely important state affairs. We must pay close attention..."
Before the old civil servant finished speaking, he was interrupted by the extremely impatient Queen Bella:
"I'm so annoying. Didn't you see me taking a bath? Don't be so annoying while I'm taking a bath! Get out of here! The Britannia Empire is holding a meeting. It concerns our Luolin Empire. What does it have to do with me?
!They can hold whatever meetings they like!"
"Your Majesty..." The old civil servant was still a little unwilling to give up.
However
"Get out of here!!"
Queen Bella obviously didn't want to listen to him anymore.
"……yes."
The old civil servant left the bathhouse with a disappointed look on his face.
After the old civil servant left, Queen Bella, who felt that the world had become quiet again, showed a happy smile and continued to take her favorite milk bath comfortably.
…
8:50 am.
Holy Hiran Empire, Far Eastern Front.
Somewhere on a flat meadow covered with green grass, two men and one woman were sitting or lying on the grass.
These two men and one woman were the same El, Camille, and Gabriel who met Su Cheng and the others at the hot spring baths in Acanrea at the end of last year.
"8:50..." El murmured softly, looking at the pocket watch in his hand, "The round table conference of the Britannia Empire is about to begin..."
"Round table meeting..." Gabriel, who was lying on the grass, spat out the grass in his mouth, then turned his head and asked Camille, who was sitting next to him, "Camille, you are the smartest and the best."
You are good at these politics and so on, what do you think the round table meeting of the Britannia Empire will discuss?"
"How could I possibly know."
Camille rolled her eyes at Gabriel as if she were an idiot.
"Just tell me what you think." As Gabriel said, he broke off a piece of grass again and took it into his mouth. "Tell me your guess. It doesn't matter even if you are wrong. You
You should be used to my teasing you by now, right?"
Camille rolled her eyes at Gabriel again, then sighed softly, and then said:
"This round table meeting is probably going to discuss things about the Michael Knights. The positions of the leader and deputy leader of the Michael Knights have been in dispute since the conflict with our Holy Shiran Empire two years ago.
It has been vacant since the war, and this round table meeting will probably be to elect a new leader of the Knights of Michael."
"The new leader of the Knights of Michael..." Gabriel, who had always been careless and careless, had a rare look of solemnity on his face at this time, "I hope Britannia
The empire should not elect anyone who is too powerful to be the new leader of the Michael Knights... Our Holy Shiran Empire is just about to use its troops against the Empire of Britannia, and I don’t want to be chosen by someone who is too powerful.
Enemy..."
…
8:55 am.
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Royal Conference Room.
The Royal Meeting Room in Aries Palace will only be opened under certain circumstances.
That's when the roundtable was held.
In the royal conference room, there is a huge round table.
The area around this round table was almost full of people.
All the territorial nobles of the Britannia Empire, central ministers, local officials, heads of knights... in short, all the big shots in the empire are gathered in the royal conference room at this time!
There are still a few minutes left before the meeting is officially held, and everyone sitting around the round table is chatting in low voices in small groups.
"Time flies so fast. We will be holding another round table meeting so soon."
"It's so troublesome... I really want to return to my fiefdom as soon as possible."
"I wonder what will be discussed in this roundtable meeting."
"I never thought that I would be able to participate in the second roundtable meeting in my life. It is such an honor."
"The security work is really getting better every time. When all the territorial nobles and local officials rushed to Pendragon, they were escorted by a large number of elite soldiers. So far, no enemy assassins have appeared.
Assassinations and sabotage with spies.”
…
While everyone in the conference room was chatting together in twos and threes, Iser, the leader of the Gabriel Knights, and Albert, the leader of the Rachel Knights, who were sitting next to each other, were also chatting.
Chatting on the ground.
Originally, the heads of the three major knights should sit together, but because the position of the head of the Michael Knights has been vacant since the "Northern Defense Operation in 288" two years ago, so now
Only Iser and Albert sat next to each other.
"Albert." Isel said to Albert in a joking tone, "You look very tired."
"Nonsense." Albert smiled bitterly, "I just came back from the southern front, and before I had time to breathe a sigh of relief, I was told by that guy Jacob that a round table meeting was going to be held. These major events came one after another. Can I
Isn’t it hard? Besides, you have the nerve to say that I look tired, aren’t you too?”
"Hahaha." Iser rubbed his bloodshot eyes, "After all, I rushed back from the Rhine Front day and night..."
"Everyone seems to have arrived..." Albert moved his gaze and scanned the faces of everyone sitting at the round table one by one, "It seems that the only ones missing are His Majesty, His Highness Gale and Jacob...
"
"I don't know how long this roundtable meeting will last..." Iser smiled bitterly, "I just hope it won't last too long... I hate meetings the most..."
"It is said," Albert continued, "Our round table meeting this time will elect a new leader of the Knights of Michael."
"Yes." Iser sighed, "I really don't know who could be so lucky and so unlucky to become the leader of the Knights..."
…
The hour and minute hands on everyone's pocket watches slid bit by bit.
The hour hand finally points to "9"!
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!!"
Outside the royal meeting room, the guards roared in unison.
Hearing this loud roar, the originally noisy royal conference room immediately fell silent.
Everyone immediately stood up from their chairs and turned their attention to the door of the Royal Conference Room.
Almost the next moment everyone turned their attention to the door of the royal conference room, Ge Zewen, dressed in rich clothes, quickly walked into the royal conference room.
Following closely behind Ge Zewen were His Royal Highness Crown Prince Gale, who had just returned a few days ago, and Palace Minister Jacob.
Ge Zewen quickly walked to his seat and sat down.
Jacob sat on Gozevin's left hand side, while Gale sat on Gozevin's right hand side.
After Ge Zewen sat down, everyone who had been standing sat back on their chairs.
Ge Zewen, who never liked to talk nonsense, after sitting down on the chair, moved his eyes and passed over the faces of everyone sitting at the round table one by one.
"Is everyone here?"
"Yes." An old minister answered, "41 vassals, 6 central ministers, 12 local ministers, 1 crown prince, and 1 His Majesty the Emperor, a total of 61 people have all arrived, and no one is absent.
"
"Well, okay." Ge Zewen nodded, and then said loudly:
"Now that everyone is here, I announce! The 26th Round Table Conference of the Britannia Empire has officially been held!!"

Volume 4 "The Life of the Master of the Knights from Scratch" (also known as: "Rebuilding Michael") Preview:
...
"Su... no, Commander of the Michael Knights, I'm going to ask you directly, what is needed to rebuild the Michael Knights?"
"I need the imperial royal family, the center of the empire, all the territorial nobles and more than a dozen horse farms, hundreds of blacksmith shops, and a large number of talents. In short, I need a very courageous emperor to support me with all the strength of the country."
"Then I will devote all my strength to support you in completing this mission!"
…
"I'm moving to the north...I feel a little reluctant to let go of Pendragon..."
…
"Is this bullying in the army? Oh, please spare me..."
…
"Cheng, I like you..."
…
"This is your hometown, Kyle. Ah... I'm about to meet your parents... I'm a little nervous..."
"Don't worry, my parents are very kind."

"Alyssa, let me tell you straight, do you like Cheng?"

"After a while of peace, is war going to start again? Is this a battle with the barbarians?"
"The central government is still considering whether to launch a full-scale war with the mountain barbarians, but I think this battle is basically going to pass. After all, even the battle code name has been decided. This time's all-out war against the mountain barbarians, the battle code name is Sha
