The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"I understand! I know!" Soran nodded and continued to ask: "So what? What do you want? Or, what do you want me to do?"

"What do you mean by what I want? Don't you have to give me a solution? This sea monster is so powerful. What should we do if the fleet encounters it again when going out to sea in the future?" Magellan was really anxious.

He was really afraid of encountering this kind of thing again!

Seeing this, Soran immediately comforted him: "Brother, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious!"

"And no matter how anxious you are, it's useless. This matter can't be solved for you just by being anxious!"

"You have to give an explanation!" Magellan was a little dejected.

Soran was also helpless, and immediately explained: "Brother, it's really not that I don't want to help you! It's that I really can't help you!"

"According to what you said, this sea monster is so powerful that if you want to deal with it, you need to be a knight of at least the upper knight class level!"

"And in the current Ganise City, apart from Butler Mark, there are no other high-ranking knights!"

"As for other methods, I really can't think of them anyway!"

Magellan was stunned, but after calming down and thinking about it, he agreed!

He is a knight of the Brave Knight professional level, but when facing that terrifying sea monster, he has no ability to resist at all!

Therefore, if you want to deal with it, you must be a strong person at least at the upper knight level!

But currently, the knights of the upper knight professional level under the Earl's command all have their own tasks and certainly cannot be transferred at will.

As for Butler Mark, a strong man with the professional level of a Pillar Knight, he has to protect the safety of Countess Katis, which is even more unacceptable!

but……

"Brother, I remember your bodyguard, Knight Yalikovich, is also a strong man of the upper knight professional level!"

"Do you think you could send him to me for a few days?" Magellan narrowed his eyes and said mischievously.

"No! This is absolutely not possible!" Soran refused without any hesitation.

Knight Alkovich, but when he knew that someone was going to assassinate him, he specially hired him as a personal bodyguard to protect his personal safety.

Although the war has broken out now, I don't know whether His Royal Highness Prince Leo II has stopped his assassination plan against me.

But in this situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, how could Sauron dare to send him out!

Sauron doesn't dare to take this kind of risk!

"Why?" Magellan was puzzled.

Soran had never told anyone else that someone was trying to assassinate him, and Knight Alexovich would never tell anyone about it!

Therefore, people like Magellan only thought that Knight Alexikovich was a subordinate hired by Soran to strengthen his power.

“I won’t tell you the specific reasons! You just need to know that there may be a superior knight hiding in the dark, ready to assassinate me at any time?” Soran said helplessly.

Who can understand the feeling of being watched in secret, living in fear every day, and being possibly assassinated at any time!

So how could he not be helpless?

"Is it true?" Magellan was shocked, but his eyes were full of disbelief.

After all, Soran may have never told him about this!

Soran nodded sadly.

"No, brother, what heinous crime have you committed? Why are you about to be assassinated?" Magellan really couldn't suppress his inner curiosity.

At this moment, his curiosity about this matter was greater than his need to solve the sea monster problem.

Soran glanced at him calmly and said in a vulgar tone: "Don't ask about my brother's affairs, or you'll get covered in blood!"

Upon seeing this, Magellan immediately rolled his eyes at Soran and said rather arrogantly: "Tsk, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I don't want to hear it! For someone like you, you deserve to be assassinated!"

Soran ignored him and just sat there quietly, watching him perform for his own amusement!

Sure enough, after a while, Magellan began to feel a little uneasy. He felt itchy in his heart and his whole body was very uncomfortable.

So he turned around again and continued to ask in a pleading tone: "Can't you really tell me, brother?"

Soran nodded expressionlessly: "I'm doing this for your own good, because knowing too much will not do you any good!"

But Magellan was speechless at Solon's preaching!

"Alright! Brother, it's really inconvenient for me to tell you about my affairs right now! Let's talk about it after we officially move to the Antilles Islands!"

"As for that sea monster, you don't need to worry too much. I think it just happened to pass by that sea area that time!"

"After all, you have passed by that sea area so many times before, but you have never encountered it, right?"

"This time it's probably just bad luck for you guys, you just happened to run into this!"

"Next time, maybe not!"

With no other options left, Sauron could only resort to this method of self-comfort!

I pray that the sea monster is just passing by there, and not taking that sea area as its territory and lingering there!

Magellan also looked helpless!

But in the absence of any solution, he had no choice but to accept this statement!

After all, he also knew that he couldn't stop the normal implementation of the "Anglican Islands Immigration Plan" because of this "Sea Monster Incident"!

This is absolutely impossible!

Don't say Sauron disagrees!

There is no way Countess Katis would agree!

And it is even more impossible for him to agree!

He was a man who was confident that he could make a name for himself in the ocean and leave his name in human history. How could he give up halfway because of such a small setback?

and so……

"Brother, why were you assassinated? Can't you really tell me now?" Magellan looked at Soran eagerly and asked pitifully.

Soran said with disgust: "Get lost!"

..............................

Principality of Golia, Drakent Mountains, Maghreb Fortress.

I don't know if it's because of fear, but ever since the Kingdom of Essex started the war, the army of the Kingdom of Essex has been extremely cautious when it comes to this majestic Maghreb fortress.

So over there in the Winston River Basin, the war was in full swing, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded, and even the water of the Winston River was about to turn red!

Over at the Maghreb Fortress, the army of the Principality of Glia stationed inside is so bored that they are about to fade away!

If it weren’t for the old General August who was suppressing and preventing the army of the Principality of Glia from breaking out of the fortress!

Perhaps the troops of the Principality of Glia have already rushed out of the fortress and fought with the troops of the Kingdom of Essex stationed outside the Maghreb Fortress to see if they really have no balls!

……

In the headquarters of the army of the Principality of Glia, old General August looked at the battle report in his hand, then at the strategic map hanging on the wall, and fell into deep thought.

This battle report came from the Kingdom of Midburg. Its main content was intelligence about the Midburg Kingdom army's battle for Winston River.

What made old General August fall into deep thought was the news that the Kingdom of Midburg was at a disadvantage in its defense in the Battle of Winston River.

Because today, the Principality of Glia and the Kingdom of Midburg are like grasshoppers tied to the same string, with their interests linked and their lives and deaths related!

Therefore, General August naturally attaches great importance to the war situation in the Kingdom of Midburg.

After all, if the Kingdom of Midburg was conquered by the Kingdom of Essex, then the Principality of Glia would not be able to hold on for long as it was alone!

What is worrying old General August now is whether the Principality of Glia should send troops immediately to assist the Kingdom of Midburg in its defense.

……

"Hey! Lao Deng, we're back from patrolling the barracks!"

Even though Simon August had been taught a lesson by his old father many times, he still always adhered to the principle of "correct mistakes if they occur, and do it again next time". He did not give any face to his father who was over 60 years old, and still called him "Lao Deng".

Old General August had his back to the door, but the moment he heard his son's voice, his blood boiled, veins bulged, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, while his eyes began to look around for his horsewhip!

Ocles Drake, who followed Simon in, looked at the scene of "mutual interference" between the father and son and sighed imperceptibly.

He immediately walked over and began to report to General August:

"Reporting to the old general, after our continuous inspections over the past few days, we finally discovered that the soldiers in the barracks are generally frivolous and impatient to varying degrees! Moreover, they are proud of the fact that the Essex Kingdom army is not attacking, and they think that the other side is afraid!"

"Therefore, although the overall fighting spirit of the army is still very high, this kind of arrogant, frivolous and impetuous attitude and emotion of underestimating the enemy will inevitably have a serious impact on the morale of the army if it continues to develop in the long run!"

"So after discussing with Simon, I think we should properly control and suppress the military and not foster such impetuous and arrogant emotions!"

Old General August watched as Ocles finished his clear and organized report, then nodded with satisfaction, like an old father!

Because he was really impressed by the changes that Ocles had undergone in the past two months and his performance in the Maghreb Fortress!

Therefore, the old general's recognition of him also increased sharply!

Especially when his own son Simon was rebellious every day, making him very angry, old General August had already taught Ocles as if he were half a son!

"Have you come up with any good ideas?" the old general asked with a kind look and a gentle smile.

But in fact, what he said was a test of Ocles's ability.

After all, you can't raise a problem and then not come up with a specific solution, right?

As if he had been prepared, Ocles answered directly and confidently: "Simon and I have discussed it privately!"

"The Maghreb Fortress is now at a critical stage of the war. Although the army of the Kingdom of Essex has not come to attack us, the number of troops on guard in the fortress must not be reduced!"

“So there are only two solutions we can think of at the moment:

The first is to appropriately strengthen the intensity of the army’s daily training and improve the army’s discipline!

The second is to hold some wrestling, fighting, long-distance running and other competitive games to vent the soldiers' excess energy!"

After hearing this, General August thought silently for a while, and then said: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, young master! As for that kid Simon..."

General August glanced at Simon, who was lazing around not far away, and continued, "Let him be your deputy and help you with your work!"

Ocles was about to answer "yes".

But before he could finish his words, Simon next to him shouted in dissatisfaction: "Why should I be his deputy? Isn't he always my deputy when we have missions?"

"This is a military order! What? You want to disobey it?" said old General August with a serious face.

Simon's face suddenly turned pale and he curled his lips secretly, but he didn't say anything else!

Although he often has conflicts with his old father, it is just daily rebellion and a few words of argument!

But when it comes to major issues like "military orders", he still has a clear mind!

Otherwise, old General August would not have placed him in the barracks!

Therefore, when General August said "This is a military order", Simon had to accept it no matter how reluctant he was!

Of course, this was a reasonable job appointment within the army, so Simon accepted it silently.

But if the old father says that anything is a military order, then you can see whether "Big Laugher" Simon will oppose him or not!

Ocles walked over, punched Simon lightly, and said jokingly: "Why, brother! Can't you be my assistant for once and assist me in my work?"

Before, because Ocles had just arrived and was not very familiar with military affairs, whenever there was a task assigned, Ocles would act as Simon's deputy and Simon would lead him to carry out the task.

Of course, given the relationship between these two people, it doesn’t really matter who is the principal or deputy principal. They are almost like one another anyway!

The reason why the positions suddenly reversed this time was obviously because the old General August wanted to test Ocles' recent learning situation!

Simon's face returned to normal, he put his arm around Ocles's shoulders, and said with a smile: "There's no need to distinguish between the chief and deputy among us brothers! Aren't they all the same?"

He then looked at his old father again and said with disdain: "I am simply dissatisfied with this old Deng's distribution plan!"

In an instant, old General Augusta clenched his fists again and began to look for the location of the whip.

And Ocles sighed, punched Simon a little harder, and then went to ask questions to General August!
