Chapter 1435 Leisurely El

299th year of the Britannia Empire, 221st year of the Holy Hilan Empire.

January 31st.

Holy Hilan Empire, Far East Front.

"El." Gabriel said to El beside him, "Why haven't you caught any fish yet?"

"Gabriel, be patient." El said in a helpless tone, "The most important thing for fishing is patience. If you are impatient, you won't catch any fish."

Gabriel and El were sitting side by side by a small river.

It was winter now, and El and Gabriel spent a long time to finally find such an unfrozen river.

Gabriel was silent for a while, then asked El again:

"El, is it really okay for us to go out and play like this? If I remember correctly, there should be a lot of military affairs waiting for you to handle, right?"

"Oh, I've handed all those military affairs over to Chinoir. I've glanced over them, and there's nothing important that I need to handle personally. Chinoir alone can handle them."

"Ah, El, look, someone's coming!"

"Quick! Pull up your hood!"

El and Gabriel pulled open the hood of the large cloak they were wearing, letting the hood cover their entire faces.

After the travelers who passed by El and Gabriel left, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled down their hoods.

"What a hassle..." El sighed, "Now I can't go out without a hooded cloak..."

Since completing the unprecedented expedition last year, El instantly became a star figure in the Holy Hilan Empire.

Even an ordinary citizen of the Holy Hilan Empire knows that their country has a young genius named El Bernard, who led an inferior force to defeat and annihilate the 500,000-strong army of the grassland people, and directly drove the grassland people to the far east. In the next ten years, the grassland people should not dare to come back.

In the Far East, El has become a hero.

The civilians living in the Far East have long suffered from the invasion of the grassland people.

Many families have a blood feud with the grassland people.

El defeated and killed a full 500,000 grassland army and drove the grassland people far away - for the Far East civilians who suffered from the invasion of the grassland people, El's move undoubtedly helped them to avenge.

El's portraits were circulated wildly - I don't know who spread these portraits from, anyway, El's portraits are now everywhere, and everyone knows what El Bernard looks like.

As long as El steps on the street now, he will be immediately recognized by the common people on the street, and then he will be warmly and somewhat crazy welcomed by the common people...

Not only that, El has also become a favorite of some wealthy merchants and nobles.

Merchants and nobles hope to form a marriage with some powerful forces or some young people with potential.

A great man like El is a perfect marriage partner.

El is young, single, good-looking, has no bad deeds in his life, has just made great achievements, and is a rising star worth looking forward to in the empire - these conditions combined are enough to make those wealthy merchants and nobles fight for El.

Since the end of the expedition and returning to the Far East, El has received countless invitations.

Some bold families even brought their daughters to the door directly and "sold" their daughters to El directly.

El chose to ignore all these invitations and "promotions".

El was not ready to get married or become a father.

He was very satisfied with his current single life and did not want to consider anything related to marriage in the short term.

One of the reasons why El rejected the invitations and "promotions" from these wealthy merchants and nobles was that he did not want his future wife to have a prominent family background.

If he could choose, El hoped that his wife could be an ordinary person with an unremarkable family background like him.

After completing the expedition and returning home, El actually lived a very leisurely life every day.

Because he handed over almost every day's military affairs to the deputy commander of the Far Eastern Front, Chinoer, to handle.

He only handled those military affairs that he had to deal with personally.

Because El had just led the Far Eastern Front to make great contributions, El's prestige in the Far Eastern Front was surprisingly high, so El's attitude of throwing most of the work to his subordinates did not cause dissatisfaction from Chinoer and others.

After leaving most of the military affairs to his subordinates, El spent his days leisurely.

Either reading comfortably or going out to play with Gabriel.

Gabriel's official position in the Far Eastern Front was El's chief of guards.

Serving as El's chief of guards who spent his days leisurely - Gabriel's days were as leisurely as El's.

In order to avoid being recognized and affecting today's play, when those travelers just passed by El and Gabriel, the two pulled up their hoods in time.

After those travelers left, the two pulled down their hoods and continued to fish leisurely.

"El." Gabriel looked at the still calm river surface and said again in an unhappy tone, "Are there really fish in this river?"

"There should be. I just saw a fish jumping out of this river a few days ago."

"Fishing and stuff like that are so boring... I think this kind of game is more suitable for the elderly, not for young people like me."

"It's just not suitable for you. I really like fishing. Holding a fishing rod, I can spend half a day with my head empty."

…

While El and Gabriel were chatting there, a sound of horse hooves came towards them from far away.

As the sound of horse hooves came from far and near, there was also a loud cry:

"Your Excellency Marshal!"

El raised his eyebrows and looked around.

"Chinor?"

The man galloping toward El and the others was none other than Chinor, the deputy commander of the Far Eastern Front, who had almost consolidated the two positions of commander-in-chief and deputy commander in these days.

"Huh...huh..." After reining in his horse and stopping in front of El, Qinor gasped for air.

"Your Excellency Marshal... finally let me find you..."

"Qinor, what happened?" El said in a nonchalant manner, "Is there any important military matter that you can't handle by yourself? Do you want me to handle it?"

"No! No! Your Excellency, Marshal! There is important news from the Britannia Empire!"
