Chapter 34 Who Can Be a Unified Knight?

Emperor of the Britannia Empire September 2, 289, afternoon.

Pendragon, the residence of Jacob Churchill.

"Mr. Cheng, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Please try the black tea that I have collected for a long time." Jacob said calmly to Su Cheng who was sitting opposite him.

"Mr. Jacob, you are too polite," Su Cheng said with a smile. "It's troublesome to always call me 'Mr. Cheng'. Mr. Jacob, you only need to call me Su Cheng or Cheng in the future."

"No, no, I don't always like to call people I like and respect by their names. I'll continue to call you Mr. Cheng from now on."

Just now, Jacob sent someone to Su Cheng's home to invite Su Cheng to his mansion for afternoon tea.

Before, I was invited to dinner by Iser, the "strongest knight" in the Britannia Empire, and now I am invited to have afternoon tea by Jacob, who is "under one man and above ten thousand" in the Britannia Empire.

Although Su Cheng was quite puzzled by being invited to dinner and tea by some bigwigs recently, Su Cheng did not dare to refuse Jacob's request.

Jacob seemed to be very difficult to mess with and difficult to get along with. Su Cheng didn't want to offend Jacob, so Su Cheng agreed to Jacob's invitation and came to Jacob's mansion for afternoon tea. .

Su Cheng and Jacob sat around a small round table, on which were two exquisite teacups and a teapot.

Jacob, who was sitting opposite Su Cheng, raised the teapot and poured black tea into the cup in front of Su Cheng.

As soon as the black tea flowed from the spout of the teapot, the rich aroma only penetrated into Su Cheng's nose.

After Jacob poured black tea into his and Su Cheng's cups, Jacob raised his teacup and said:

"I am here to congratulate Mr. Cheng for defeating the 30,000-strong rebel army and achieving a brilliant record."

Su Cheng responded with a smile:

"thanks."

After seeing Jacob start to drink, Su Cheng also put the teacup in his hand to his mouth.

After taking a sip, although Su Cheng didn't know much about tea, he could still feel that the tea must be good tea, so he praised: "It's really good tea. After drinking it, I feel that the fragrance of tea still remains on my teeth."

"Hehe, as long as you like it, Mr. Cheng," Jacob said.

After taking a few more sips of the black tea in the teacup, Jacob put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Mr. Cheng, who do you think among the younger generation in our Britannia Empire has the hope of becoming a united knight?" ?”

"Ah... I don't know much about the military world of the Empire, so I don't know who among the younger generation has the hope of becoming a unified knight."

"It's okay, just say it, you can say whatever you want, let's just talk about it."

Su Cheng pondered for a while, and said: "Although I don't know much about the military circles of the empire, I still know that the 'Twin Generals' that our empire is proud of, Enli, the Knight of Twin Oaks of the Gabriel Knights, There should be a chance to become a unified knight."

The corners of Jacob's mouth twitched slightly.

"I also know some military skills, and I think I can know people very well. I can always accurately tell whether a person has talent and his personality. I am still very confident in my ability. Enli · Hunter, his military talent is indeed good. Although his character is quite correct, he is narrow-minded, intolerant, and good-looking, and he always loses face. These points alone are doomed It's hard for him to become a unified knight."

"Then... another of the twin stars, Alisa Hill, should have a chance to become a unified knight."

"Alyssa's military talent is much higher than that of Enli. She is straightforward, frank, daring to love and hate. She is a good girl, but she is a little too arrogant now. If you don't come and suppress her current arrogance Her faults, her faults will kill her sooner or later, if her arrogant personality does not change, it will be extremely difficult for her to become a unified knight.

"

Su Cheng shrugged.

"Then I really don't know who can become a unified knight. After all, it is too difficult to become a unified knight. In the almost 300-year history of the Britannia Empire, there have only been 12 unified knights."

Jacob drank the black tea in the teacup in one breath, then stared at Su Cheng with sharp eyes, and raised his right index finger to point at Su Cheng.

"Among the younger generation of the Britannia Empire, the only one who has the most hope of becoming a unified knight is you——Su Cheng!"

Su Cheng's pupils suddenly dilated.

"Me? Unity knight?"

"That's right." Jacob nodded with a smile, "I think you have discovered it during this counter-rebellion, right? It seems that my pair of eyes that are good at knowing people didn't lie to me—you really have extremely high Military talent! And your military talent far exceeds my expectations! Otherwise, you, a person who has never led a soldier, would not be able to directly lead 5,000 people to defeat 30,000 people and achieve a feat that is enough to be recorded in history!"

"Tomorrow, the counter-insurgency battle will be held for meritorious deeds and rewards. I will not beat around the bush again. I invite you to have afternoon tea this time. I just want to ask you a question: Mr. Cheng, are you willing to join the army?" ?"

After hearing Jacob's words, Su Cheng handed the tea cup to the hand next to his lips and paused.

And James went on to say:

"I already asked His Majesty yesterday, and His Majesty also welcomes talents like you to join the army."

The gaze from Jacob's eyes grew sharper.

"Mr. Cheng, if you are willing to join the army, I can directly help you become a knight!"

"Help me... become a knight?"

Su Cheng looked at Jacob in astonishment.

"I'm surprised." Jacob chuckled, "Evidently he only participated in one battle, how can He De become a knight?"

"However," Jacob said seriously, "I'm not joking."

"Mr. Cheng, you should know the status and identity of me, Jacob, in the Britannia Empire. I am fully capable of helping you successfully enter the army and become a knight!"

Jacob stood up, hands behind his back, looking down at Su Cheng.

"So, what's your answer? Mr. Cheng."

...

Su Cheng put the teacup in his hand back on the small round table, and said with a smile:

"I have no doubts about your ability, Mr. Jacob. You must have the ability to make me a knight, but I can ask, why do you treat me so well and help me become a knight?"

The corners of Jacob's mouth curled up slightly.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Cheng, you are still a very cautious person, but that's right, how can a military genius like you be careless in doing things?"

Jacob sat back on the chair, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said quietly:

"However, don't worry, Mr. Cheng, I will not harm you. There are only two reasons why I want to help you become a knight, one of which is curiosity."

"Curious?" Su Cheng asked suspiciously.

"I'm curious, if you train a genius like you with all your strength, what kind of realm you will reach."

Jacob's eyes sparkled sharply.

"Of course, this is only a secondary reason. The main reason is that I want to add another great talent to the Britannia Empire who has the potential to become a unified knight."

The corners of Jacob's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a light smile:

"Although it's strange for me to say that, in terms of loyalty to the Britannia Empire, I don't think I will lose to anyone."

"The current national strength of the Britannia Empire is not as good as before. With this decline in national strength, our relationship with the three surrounding empires is not good."

"Let's not talk about the Frankish Empire in the east. We have been fighting them for hundreds of years. We don't know when this century-old war with the Frankish Empire will end."

"And we are also in a state of war with the Luo Lin Empire in the south. Although we have an armistice agreement with the Holy Hieran Empire in the north, our relationship with the Holy Hieran Empire is still very bad. Our relationship with the Holy Hieran Empire is 'At any moment there is a possibility of tearing up the armistice and going south to attack our relationship'."

"In the entire continent, including our Britannia Empire, there are only 4 empires in total, and our Britannia Empire and the other 3 empires are either in a state of war or are in a state of imminent war, It's a really bad state of diplomacy."

"In the past, the national strength and military strength of our Britannia Empire were good, so we could still hold on in this harsh situation, but now the national strength of our Britannia Empire has dropped a lot compared to before, and The military strength has also declined a lot.”

"The situation is already bad enough, but I didn't expect that in such a bad situation, the head of our Michael Knights died in battle a year ago, and the Michael Knights were also disabled a year ago. Right now, only the Gabriel Knights and Raziel Knights are left in our empire to sustain the situation."

"In short, the current situation has deteriorated to a very serious level... Our current military strength is no longer sufficient to deal with the three empires at the same time..."

Jacob continued to say in a deep voice:

"So in order to solve this bad situation, I decided to find a way to greatly enhance our country's military strength. No matter where it is, talents are the most important. An excellent knight can stand up to thousands of troops. horse!"

"So, I have been looking for excellent military talents."

Hearing this, Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, because he seemed to realize something.

"So," Su Cheng said, "Mr. Jacob, you found me, right?"

"That's right." Jacob said loudly, "This is the main reason why I want to help you become a knight. Your strength is equivalent to an entire knight order! As long as you can join the army, it will mean that our country has one more Hundreds of thousands of elite knights! So I really want you to join the army!"

"I'm getting old now, and I don't have any ambitions when I'm old, and I don't have any other wishes! Now I only hope that I can see our Britannia Empire survive this crisis in my lifetime. Difficulties! So no matter what, I will help my motherland to save from this bad situation!"

Jacob stood up from his seat with a cry, and while bowing to Su Cheng, he said loudly:

"Mr. Cheng! Please help me - save the current crisis of the Britannia Empire!"

After seeing Jacob salute him suddenly, Su Cheng was taken aback, quickly stood up and helped Jacob up, and said, "Mr. Jacob, please don't do this."

"Mr. Cheng..." Jacob, who was lifted up by Su Cheng, had a serious face, and his sharp eyes looked directly into Su Cheng's eyes, "Please help me, help me to save the Britannia Empire from this place." rescued from a dire situation.”

...

Su Cheng was silent for a while, and then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Sitting back on the chair, he exhaled a large amount of air from his nostrils.

"Mr. Jacob, you actually trusted me so much, told me so much of your heartfelt words, and sent me such a warm invitation, so in order to show your respect to Mr. Jacob, then I will also reveal to you, Mr. Jacob Some of my truth and recent thoughts."

"Before, I didn't have any good things or things I liked to do. The only thing I was good at was probably having a lot of stories to tell, and I told them well. The only thing I liked to do was reading books."

Su Cheng looked reminiscent, while Jacob listened quietly with interest.

"At the beginning, with the encouragement of my friends, I planned to live an ordinary life for the rest of my life. However, I found that I was still very unwilling in my heart. I still longed for a magnificent life. Just live your life in such an ordinary way!"

Su Cheng slowly clenched his fists.

"So, at the conference hall, I resolutely accepted the task of defeating 30,000 people with 5,000 people, because my intuition told me that if I refused this task, I might have to live an ordinary life for the rest of my life. .”

"During this counter-insurgency operation, I also gradually discovered what I am good at!"

"Mr. Jacob, as you said, I also discovered my military talent during this counter-insurgency. I used to think that I had no military talent, just some military knowledge, but now I realize that it was me I am wrong. I am not a person without military talent! I can command troops easily! I can command troops like my arms and fingers! When confronting the enemy, one trick after another can be obtained from my Come out of your mind!"

Su Cheng gradually became emotional.

"During this counter-insurgency, I also found something I like to do! When commanding the army, I felt sincerely excited! Especially when commanding the army to implement the strange strategy I came up with, I was even more excited. Felt great pleasure.”

"I like the feeling of commanding the army to complete one strategy after another. Even my sister has discovered what I really like to do."

"I'm not sure if my joining will help the Britannia Empire, but if I become a knight, I should have a lot of opportunities to command the army, right?"

Su Cheng stood up slowly and looked directly into Jacob's eyes.

"So, regarding the matter of becoming a knight or not, my answer is—"
