Chapter 97 Early Summer

.The summer of the year 302 of the Redemption Calendar came very early.

March has just passed, and the sun has already brought a hint of heat. Especially in the southern province of Lullian, people have put on summer clothes early.

The farmers in the fields were shirtless, and their bodies were glistening with sweat. The more respectable people wore linen or cotton shorts, and their chest vests were soaked with sweat. Most of the nobles only wore a white wide-sleeved undershirt.

, before going out to meet guests, I put on a coat with ruffled collar and embroidered edges.

The ones who have changed the most are the noble ladies.

The warm weather made them, who had been covered in thick coats all winter and half of spring, ecstatic. They took out the most beautiful dresses from the boxes and closets, put them on the bed, and tried on one after another.

One thing, she was so tired that she was exhausted, but she still enjoyed it.

Naturally, she was secretly happy to maintain a good figure, and she was thinking about how to outshine the other female companions at the dance. Those who gained weight started to diet, fighting desperately against the fat on their bodies, and started to cry hysterically when they saw grandma carrying the dinner plate.

He screamed and refused to eat even a little bit.

Looking around the city streets, there are young ladies and ladies holding small umbrellas and wearing thin skirts everywhere.

They were walking arm in arm, or sitting in a summer carriage with a low roof, their elegant chins slightly raised.

Everyone released their own beauty to the fullest, not squinting but clearly aware of every gaze focused on them.

But what was hotter than the weather and women's love for beautiful dresses was the war situation in the empire during this period.

The victory of Meiding City was like a fire, igniting people's enthusiasm. This victory not only changed the original bad situation in Lulian, curbed the unstoppable attack of the Feili people since the beginning of the war, but also gave a heavy blow to other war zones.

A warning to the Phillies.

The Saint Solan people are not a people who are at the mercy of others!

This voice was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the people of the Saint Solan Empire. People discussed enthusiastically and devoted words like "great victory" to that medium-sized local battle without hesitation.

And I firmly believe that this description is very accurate!

In the one and a half years since the war broke out, no battle has achieved such brilliant results. No battle has forced the Phillies to slow down their attacks in three theaters at the same time, and made Emperor Peter I furious.

, questioning his generals one after another!

Whether it is at the dinner table, at a dance, on the lawn of the manor barbecue or drinking wine in the streets, people talk at any time and place, and one after another legend about the victory of Medina comes out of their mouths, with a generous and proud look.

Manchu looked as if they were the ones fighting the battle. Every time he mentioned something exciting and interesting, everyone laughed together, their faces turned red, and they drank one glass after another.

Although women are not naturally interested in these topics, they have to listen with a smile and make a soft cry of surprise from time to time to show their concentration. Otherwise, the men who are so excited and foaming at the mouth may leave them.

Go find a woman to chat with who is willing to listen to these topics.

That's really terrible!

They were dieting desperately, sucking in and tightening their bellies, letting their nuns tighten the whalebone in their skirts, and spending one or two prayer hours dressing up. They were not trying to drive away the men who were surrounding them to those who also knew nothing about war.

But he went to the vixen who pretended to listen.

Moreover, this victory is really exciting. Even a woman who cares least about the war cannot help but be attracted by the men's discussions.

Especially after the Duke's Palace announced the news a few days ago that Archduke Adolf was about to return to the city and hold a grand entrance ceremony and victory parade, everyone went crazy. Naturally, the men were crowded, not to mention the women.

Tailor shops and ready-to-wear stores prepare for that day.

This is the most important day in the city of Munich in decades. Archduke Adolf and the noble lords under his command, who have been leading the army outside, will lead the brave knights, escort the prisoners, ride their horses into the south gate, and pass through the curtain.

The center of Nicheng leads from the Avenue of Glory in the Square to the Lord's Castle.

At that time, thousands of people will gather on both sides of the road, dressed in the most beautiful clothes, cheering heartily, marching and dancing behind the knights. Not only that, Archduke Adolf also ordered a large-scale knight competition and gladiator competition.

, and provide free beer for three days for people to party.

You can never expect to encounter such a grand festival once a year.

Many girls pester their mothers and ask for a new skirt. They want to wear their mother's jewelry when the festival comes and become the most beautiful girl in the city.

The boys who were usually naughty and mischievous have also become disciplined. As long as they can participate in the city entry ceremony, they can do anything, even if they are forced to wear starched formal clothes and uncomfortable leather shoes like fools, and wear water-stained shoes.

You can also use a comb to separate your scalp!

The entire city of Munich was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and people couldn't wait. Many nobles from far away and people with a little money and time rushed to Munich in advance, and the hotels in the city had long been booked.

, even many empty rooms in private residences have been booked.

Everyone talks happily every day, and the most frequently mentioned word is Wuhejun.

No one expected that the ragtag army could make such a big contribution in such a crucial battle.

After being shocked and admired, everyone was left with just envy.

The ragtag group of stragglers wearing all kinds of clothes and carrying messy weapons were in great glory this time.

Everyone heard that during the city entry ceremony, the riot army would be led by the Bavarian Knights at the forefront of all the troops. Moreover, Archduke Adolf and the special reward envoys sent by the royal family would also personally present awards to some of the riot army soldiers who had made the most contributions.

Medals and awards.

A few days ago, more news came that Sophia had been appointed as the commander of a newly formed legion by the royal family. Many of the Wuhe Army officers and soldiers will become junior officers in this newly formed legion. Even ordinary officers

Soldiers can also give priority to joining the legion and become a member of the Royal Elite Legion.

This is simply a step to the top!

After hearing the news, many people beat their heads and regretted that they did not catch up with the battle of Meiding City and missed this golden opportunity.

Among the topics about the riot army, the most mysterious thing is a young mage who played the most crucial role at the critical moment.

There are many legends about mages, but most of them are not very reliable. Some say that the man was seriously injured and died; some say that the injury is under control but has been disabled; some say that the man refused for some reason after the Battle of Meiding.

He left at the invitation of Archduke Adolf.

There are even more divergent opinions about his identity.

Some say that he was sent by the Imperial Capital Magic Guild to assist Archduke Adolf, some say that he is a student from a certain training camp, some say that he is a secret genius trained by a certain noble family, and he joined the rabble army to gain practical experience, and some say that that person

In fact, he is a talented but rustic little country bumpkin who is preparing to apply for college.

The last statement seems to be the most reliable.

The reason is that everyone discovered that when the students returned to school one after another and the recruitment of freshmen was about to begin, the magic instructors from the three major training camps left their magic towers at the same time, asked around and personally visited almost all the students who wanted to apply for the training camp.

Young people in the Magic Court.

Normally, during the recruitment process, the three major training camps would also compete for outstanding students, but never with so much fanfare as this time.

According to what an admissions director said after drinking, "In terms of talent, although there are not many people of seventeen or eighteen years old who can cast seventh-level magic, it is not impossible. However, Felie, who can stand up to thousands of charging

In front of the knights, if you don’t chant and just raise your hands, you won’t be able to find one in the three major training camps!”

"Magic can only be considered magic if it is released and achieves the desired effect. If it cannot be released, even if it can ban spells, it is nothing! Therefore, such a guy is a real magic genius, and we must not let him fall into the trap of others.

In the hands of the training camp!”

The man was drunk at the end, still gnashing his teeth, and his eyes flashed like a wolf when he saw the green light like a treasure: "There is only one percent chance that that guy will apply for the training camp, so we have to use one ten thousandth of our efforts.

Recruit him into our academy!"

………………

………………

"dad.

"Benfiya walked into the central baton-waving camp.

Adolf and Kahn turned around and saw Sophia, and their eyes lit up.

Because the situation on the southern front of Lulian is currently in a confrontation stage, the Fei Lie Imperial Army has withdrawn to the defense line 60 kilometers south of Meiding City. Therefore, Sophia, who does not need to lead troops in combat, did not wear her iconic clothes today.

He was wearing fiery red magic armor but wearing casual clothes.

The command camp built of giant trees was rough and spacious. The sniper light slanted down from the skylight and shone on the slim Sophia.

A white crocheted trumpet-sleeved top with lace outlines her slender waist. She wears a long white skirt and a pair of delicate beige lambskin shoes, which are set off by her elegant silver hair and make people swoon.

"Look" Adolf laughed and walked quickly to his daughter, hugged her dotingly, kissed her cheek, turned to Kahn and said proudly: "Old Kahn, tell me, Lulian still has the ability

Can you find a girl more beautiful than my Sophia?"

Old Kahn smiled and shook his head and walked up. While hugging the girl he had watched grow up, he complained and shouted: "My lord, you are not like this. You are asking questions knowingly. Not to mention that Lulian can't find it.

You can’t even dig deep into the southern part of the empire to find it!”

Being teased by her father and the most loyal servant of the family, Sophia just smiled faintly, but if she looked closely, the faint blush on her face made her even brighter and more attractive.

"When are you leaving?" Adolf took Sophia's hand and sat down on the chair and asked.

Edward I's decree has been issued. As the commander of the newly formed Royal "Fire Phoenix" Legion, Sophia will go to the imperial capital as soon as possible to accept the appointment and form an army.

"After the entrance ceremony is over." Sophia replied.

When she sat down, her back was as straight as if she were wearing armor, and she immediately returned to the iceberg-like general.

Looking at this scene, Philip and Old Kahn couldn't help but feel a pain in their hearts.

Sophia is Adolf's most beloved little daughter. Her status and beauty should have allowed her to wear the most beautiful dresses, dance in the bright lights and everyone's eyes, and run carefree on the grass barefoot

Laugh and enjoy everyone's care.

However, now she is not as good as a girl from a noble family, not even a daughter from a commoner family. Her life has long been far away from tranquility and comfort. Every day, she must put on cold armor, mount a war horse,

Armed with a lance, he led a group of wolf-like men to charge and fight in the wilderness of blood and fire!

This is determined by this era, and it is also the helplessness of the Lullian family with its declining talents.

Among the major provincial lords and top noble families in the empire, the Lullian family is the weakest. Not only does the family have no outstanding talents, but the proportion of talents in the territory is far lower than that in the north. Originally, there were knights

The Solan Empire is known as the wasteland, and Lulian is known as the wasteland within the wasteland.

While other provinces and families are constantly emerging with dazzling genius knights, Lulian can only rely on Sophia to support the scene.

No matter in the strength ranking of the aristocratic circle, or in the imperial knight competition every three years, there is always this silver girl, riding her unicorn, standing silently in front of her opponent. Using her thin

The body defends the glory of Lulian's younger generation.

Archduke Adolf has always felt deeply guilty about this.

He patted Sophia's hand gently and said with a forced smile: "You have surrendered to the Bavarian Knights. Please spend time with your father these days. I haven't been back to Munich for a year. It's rare to go back and rest for a few days."

This can’t be wasted. Kahn, even if the sky falls in the past few days, don’t come to me!”

"Yes! Master!" Kahn bowed his head respectfully. He knew that Adolf felt sorry for Sophia. It was a lie not to disturb him when something happened, but it was true not to disturb Sophia.

From the bottom of my heart, Kahn himself really felt sorry for the little miss. If it weren’t for the fact that the talents of Sophia’s brothers and sisters were too ordinary, and there were not many outstanding talents under the Grand Duke’s rule over the years, otherwise Sophia wouldn’t have to bear the burden.

It has to be so hard.

When he thought of this, Kahn thought of the black boy named Roy in the Battle of Meiding City.

It's a pity that I couldn't keep him.

After the boy woke up, he only waved his hand and left behind the armor held by the guards and the Grand Duke's promise, and walked out of the main palace of Meiding City alone.

However, since it was a matter of public transportation, the boy took one of Sophia's five-star spiritual energy pills and left just like that. It also seemed that old Kahn was too useless! From that day on, he had already sent out the most powerful ones in his hand.

Good spy, investigate the origin of that boy.

And the results are astonishing!

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat solemn, Old Kahn smiled slightly and said to Adolf and Sophia: "By the way, there are two things that are very interesting to talk about."

"Oh?" Adolf laughed and said with great interest: "I said you came here specifically today to tell me what kind of things can make a serious old guy like you feel interesting!"

"Remember that ragtag boy?" Old Kahn walked to the central stove in the room and poured a cup of freshly brewed tea for both Adolf and Sophia.

"That boy!" Adolf snorted.

Of course he remembered. If it hadn't been for that black-headed boy, there would have been no victory in the Battle of Meiding, and the current situation wouldn't have been like this.

Logically speaking, that boy was the person he should thank the most, but that guy simply refused his solicitation. He left Kahn and a bunch of his subordinates to hang out in Baron Medin's mansion, and left in a swaggering manner.

If it was just like this, it would be fine. But judging from the conversation between him and Kahn at that time, the reason why he refused to recruit was because of Sophia.

"Sorry, I only signed up for one cycle of travel. I don't want these things, and I don't dare to ask for them."

"I don't want to be a hero. Especially one who is casually sacrificed."

Adolf felt heartbroken when he thought of the boy's words and Sophia's still calm but somewhat pale face when she heard these words the next day.

Back in the south of Meiding City, not to mention that black-headed little bastard, even myself and the generals and nobles under her command were looking at Sophia and scolding her for being cold-blooded.

After calming down, everyone understood that Sophia did the right thing. She was the commander-in-chief of that battle, and any decision she made must be calm. Even if this calmness was regarded as cold-blooded, it could not be shaken.

Adolf could completely see the discomfort hidden under Sophia's indifferent surface after hearing what the boy said.

It stands to reason that Sophia has been looked down upon by many people, and that boy is just an insignificant one among them.

However, Sophia could bear the glare of the nobles, and even remained indifferent, but the words of that boy from the lowest level of society who would rather give up his job promotion and leave when he left, really hurt her.

Because she can't defend herself.

That boy is the victim of her cold decision!

"What's wrong with that kid?" Adolf asked, turning to look at his daughter.

Sophia sat quietly on the chair, with her broad forehead and bright eyes, like a goddess in an oil painting.

"His name is Roy." Kahn took a deep breath and said, "That is, the little handyman of Baron Bo Labelle who was appointed as a guardian knight by Princess Aleshia more than a year ago! He is not dead!"

"Is it him?!"

This news shocked Adolf and Sophia. The father and daughter never expected that the boy who saved Lulian at the most critical moment was actually the boy who caused a major earthquake in the empire.

"Is the news confirmed?" Adolf asked quickly.

"Sure!" Kahn said. "At that time, after he left, I felt as if I had heard this name before. But I couldn't remember it. After all, this name is not too special, and there are many people with the same name.

"

He sat down on the chair opposite Adolf: "Later, the people I sent to follow him came back and reported that this boy was actually protected by several Red Leaf Knights. This immediately reminded me of the royal family."

"You went to find the refugees from Bo Labelle?" Sophia suddenly asked.

Kahn glanced at Sophia approvingly and nodded: "Miss is still smart. I remembered the boy's black head and name at that time, and then asked someone to draw his appearance, and then personally returned to Munich City to find the one we took in

An old blacksmith named Ken. He confirmed Roy's identity."

Adolf was a little stunned after listening to Kahn's words. He opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to squeeze out one sentence: "This kid!"

In his opinion, this boy named Roy may be the most awesome little handyman in the world. It seems that no matter where he goes, he can do something unique and earth-shattering.

But no matter what, he is a lucky star for the royal family.

Not to mention that he saved the princess in the first place, let's talk about this great victory in Medina, which made all three newly formed legions fall into the hands of Edward I. This was a big slap on Prime Minister Donald's face!

"Then where is he now?" Sophia asked.

Kahn smiled slightly.

"In the city of Munich."

Feiya nodded thoughtfully. In her bright eyes, a smart light flowed slowly, as if she was thinking about something.

Adolf looked at his little daughter strangely.

This is the first time he has seen Sophia be so interested in a boy, and it is also the first time he has seen her actively asking about the whereabouts of a boy.

"You just said there are two interesting things. What is the second one?" Archduke Adolf asked.

Kahn's smile suddenly turned cold.

He chuckled: "Yesterday, Viscount Wenger and the Black Skeleton Bandits worked together and tried to rob two caravans."

"Is there such a thing?!" Adolf was furious and started to protest.

Kahn took out two documents from his body with the seals of the Red Leaf Knights and the Holy See of Bronn County respectively, and placed them in front of Adolf.

With a livid face, Adolf opened the file and read it with Sophia. Both of them had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"It's Wenger's bad luck." In the silence, Kahn sighed, "Who can't I choose? I chose the caravan that that kid was traveling with."!
