Chapter 1,471 Imperial Sword (Part 2)

"The military genius brought Zizhi Tongjian to another world ()"

This is a blue and gold sword with an extremely gorgeous shape.

With this exquisite shape, it is not difficult to see that this sword is not a "combat" sword at all, but a "decorative" sword.

If an outsider were here and saw this sword, they might just think it was just a particularly exquisite decorative sword.

However, a senior military officer like Su Cheng could tell what kind of sword it was with just one glance.

After seeing the appearance of the sword clearly, Su Cheng's eyes widened.

"Your Majesty! This, this is..."

"That's right." Ilsa smiled and nodded, "This sword is the imperial sword that symbolizes the highest military power in the country!"

After saying that, Ilsa held the imperial sword in both hands and handed it to Su Cheng in front of her.

"Teacher Cheng, I will leave this imperial sword, which 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 if you are a knight, you can kill him without fail!"

As soon as Ilsa finished speaking, Su Cheng hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty! I can't take this imperial sword!"

The imperial sword symbolizes the highest military power of the Britannia Empire.

Generally only the emperor can hold the imperial sword.

Since the founding of the Britannia Empire, no one other than the emperor has ever had the opportunity to hold the imperial sword.

Let alone food, no one except the emperor is even qualified to touch the imperial sword.

And now Ilsa wants to hand over this imperial sword that symbolizes great significance to him - how can Su Cheng dare to accept it?

And Ilsa seemed to have guessed Su Cheng's reaction, and smiled slightly:

"Teacher Cheng, just take this sword."

"The reason why I want to hand 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, I also want everyone to see my trust in you."

"Teacher Cheng, you have heard something about this recently, right? After I decided that you would be the commander-in-chief of the 'Watch the Rhine' project, many people have been suggesting to me whether it is central or local - You cannot be allowed to serve as the commander-in-chief of the 'Watch the Rhine' program."

"The reason they gave is - they can't let your military success go any further."

"Your achievements are so high that they can't be sealed."

"So they think you should not be allowed to participate in a war of this scale again, and you should not be allowed to have this opportunity to gain military exploits."

"Some people even say that if your military exploits are further improved, your prestige will surpass mine."

"I hand over the Imperial Sword to you just to tell these people who can only talk nonsense - I absolutely trust Su Cheng! I believe that Su Cheng will help our Britannia Empire complete the feat of 'ending the Hundred Years War' !”

"By the way, I'll also help you scare some thorns in the army."

Speaking of this, Ilsa paused.

Then he changed to a half-joking tone:

"Although based on your prestige in the army, Teacher Cheng, those thorns in the army will not dare to disobey you, whether with or without the help of the Imperial Sword."

Su Cheng looked at the imperial sword in Ilsa's hand with a complicated expression.

After a while——

"……I see."

Su Cheng knelt down on one knee, then raised his hands and respectfully took the imperial sword from Ilsa's hand.

"I promise your Majesty that I will attack the Frankish Empire and end the Hundred Years' War!"

…

…

The 300th year of the Britannia Empire, March 25th——

The Britannia Empire, the Rhine Front, somewhere——

"Brother, do you need me to help you put on the armor?"

"Are you asking this question too slowly? I've already put on my armor, and you're just asking me if I need help..."

"Then do you need me to help you put on your cloak?"

"No need. Alan, please go outside and wait for me.

I'll be out in a minute. "

"Okay." Alan paused, "Brother, all the troops have been assembled outside now, waiting for your pre-war speech. Have you thought about what to say?"

"Of course I've thought about it." Su Cheng said angrily, "Hurry up and get out first."

"good--"

Alan said in a long tone and quickly walked out of Su Cheng's room.

After Alan walked out of the room, Su Cheng picked up the bracelet on the table in front of him and neatly put it on his left wrist.

Then, he shifted his gaze to a sword stand beside him.

This sword stand held a sword that was of great significance to Su Cheng and the entire Britannia Empire - the imperial sword that symbolized the highest military power in the country.

Su Cheng hung his knight's sword on his left waist.

Then he put his right hand on the imperial sword.

After carefully rubbing the delicate lines on the scabbard of the Huihuang Sword with his fingers, Su Cheng grabbed the Imperial Sword, held it tightly in his hand, and strode out of the room.

…

…

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, five days later, Su Cheng gave a brief but inspiring speech in front of 300,000 troops.

After Su Cheng delivered this historic speech, the 300,000 troops of the Britannia Empire were divided into four routes to launch a full-scale attack on the Frank Empire.

One route was commanded by Deng Jiaer, with a total of 50,000 troops.

One route was commanded by Elisa, with a total of 50,000 troops.

One route was commanded by Issel, with a total of 100,000 troops.

The last route was commanded by Su Cheng himself, with a total of 100,000 troops.

The four armies attacked the Frank Empire from different directions.

This "Watching the Rhine" plan can be said to be full of generals.

Su Cheng served as the commander-in-chief and Issel served as the deputy commander.

Most of the powerful generals of the Knights of Michael, such as Elisa, Deng Jiaer, Alan, Samuel, Gary, and Dale, participated in this battle.

The same was 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 Britannia troops launched a full-scale attack on the Frankish Empire, the 80,000 troops of the Holy Hilan Empire also began to move south.

The original plan of Emperor Vasili of the Holy Hilan Empire was to form a joint corps with the Far East Front and the Southeast Front to attack the Frankish Empire.

However, because the baggage reserves were not enough to support such a large corps to launch an expedition, Vasili's plan had to be abandoned.

The Far East Front, the strongest corps of the Holy Hilan Empire, could only fight alone.

Since El led the Far East Front to defeat the grassland people and drove them all the way to the farther east, the reputation of the Far East Front has risen with El.

Up to now, the Far East Front has a very high reputation in the Holy Hilan Empire.

The "Far East Front" is the strongest corps of their Holy Hilan Empire at present - this concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Hilan people.
