Chapter 369 Patrol Team

The Britannia Empire, like the other three great empires, had a coexistence of aristocratic feudalism and the emperor's autocratic system.

There are a large number of territorial nobles in the Britannia Empire.

The so-called territorial nobles are the common name for those nobles who own fiefs.

In the Britannia Empire, only relatives of the royal family can become nobles with fiefs. In the nearly 300 years of history of the Britannia Empire, no one can rely on merit to become an ordinary person or a noble. From a nobleman without a fief to a territorial nobleman.

Nearly one-third of the territory of the Britannia Empire is controlled by these territorial nobles.

The other two-thirds of the territory was under the vertical management of the central government, that is, the emperor himself, who sent officials to various places for governance and jurisdiction.

These territorial nobles not only enjoyed hereditary rule in their fiefs, but also had great autonomy within their fiefs. Some territorial nobles with larger fiefs also had the right to form their own army.

While the territorial nobles enjoy great rights, they also bear many responsibilities.

For example: you must obey the emperor's orders, pay tribute regularly, maintain the security of the empire... and so on.

In the Britannia Empire, these territorial nobles, who control one-third of the empire's territory, will gather in the imperial capital Pendragon from time to time to meet with His Majesty the Emperor, various central ministers, local officials, 3 The leader of the Grand Knights, participates in an important meeting that is only held when extremely important state affairs arise.

That is the highest-level meeting of the Britannia Empire - the Round Table Conference!

…

The day after Su Cheng and his masters returned, that is, October 16, 290 in the Imperial Calendar, the Britannia Empire officially announced that the empire was about to hold a round table conference!

The date of the convening was officially set on October 20, 290 in the imperial calendar.

The news that the Britannia Empire was about to convene a round table conference quickly spread throughout the world.

Although various countries have long known through the spies lurking in the Britannia Empire, the nobles from various territories of the Britannia Empire are rushing to Pendragon during this period, and they have already guessed The Britannia Empire may be convening a round table conference, but now that the Britannia Empire has officially announced the convening of a round table conference, all countries can't help but feel nervous about it.

Every country knows what level of meeting the Round Table Conference of the Britannia Empire is.

From the participants of the roundtable meeting, we can see how high the standard of the roundtable meeting is.

All the territorial nobles in the country, the important ministers of the central government, various local officials, the heads of the three major knights, the emperor, the crown prince...

The Britannia Empire will only hold a round table conference when there is a particularly important national event.

The last roundtable meeting was held 8 years ago.

The roundtable meeting 8 years ago had only two contents: first, to elect the new leader of the Rachel Knights. Second, in view of the current situation of the Luolin Empire's declining national power, discuss the empire's new strategic direction for the future.

After the last round table meeting, the new leader of the Rachel Knights, Albert, was elected. And changed the strategic policy of the empire: focusing on the east and south, that is to say, focusing on dealing with the Frank Empire and the Rollin Empire. Maintaining a balance of power with the Frank Empire and taking the offensive against the Rollin Empire.

At this time, all countries in the world - especially the three major empires, the Holy Hiran Empire, the Frankish Empire, and the Rollin Empire, are always paying attention to the upcoming round table conference of the Britannia Empire! Pay attention to the content of this newly held roundtable!

It can be said that the focus of all countries in the world is focused on the upcoming round table conference in the Britannia Empire...

…

October 18, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

16:48 pm.

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, on a spacious street.

Su Cheng, wearing an ordinary cloth, walked on this spacious avenue with a leisurely pace.

What was a little different from before was that Su Cheng still wore his white knight sword on his left waist.

In the past, Su Cheng would never go out wearing his knight's sword, but now is a special period, so Su Cheng has no choice but to wear his white knight's sword on the streets.

Click, click, click...

In front of Su Cheng, there were sounds of armors clashing and iron boots hitting the ground.

After hearing the clicking sounds, Su Cheng couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

"Here it comes again..."

After sighing in a voice that only he could hear, Su Cheng put away the faint bitter smile on his face and continued walking forward at his leisurely pace.

After a while, a patrol of about fifty people came in front of Su Cheng.

This patrol team is fully equipped with helmets and armor, and is fully equipped with axes, spears, swords, crossbows and other weapons.

After seeing the patrol team appear, the people on the street showed a bit of fear and turned away, not daring to look at the patrol team.

"Hello, sir."

——Just when Su Cheng was about to pass the patrol, the captain of the patrol suddenly led the men behind him to stand in front of Su Cheng, and said this to Su Cheng very politely.

However, before the patrol captain could finish speaking, Su Cheng said first:

"I am the Empire's Double Oak Knight - Su Cheng."

After saying that, Su Cheng turned slightly sideways so that the knight's sword hanging on his left waist could be more visible.

The captain of the patrol looked slightly surprised after hearing Su Cheng's self-introduction.

Then, he immediately took out a large stack of papers from the bag hanging on his waist and began to read through it.

This large pile of paper contains portraits and some basic information of all the prominent figures in the imperial capital.

Soon, the captain of the patrol came across Su Cheng's portrait.

The captain of the patrol team held up Su Cheng's portrait and compared it with Su Cheng for a long time before nodding seriously: "Yes, it is exactly the same as the portrait. It seems that it is indeed Mr. Su Cheng himself."

After that, the patrol captain put the large pile of paper back into the bag hanging on his waist.

Can I go then?

——Before Su Cheng had time to say these words, the captain of the patrol team continued:

"However, in the past, spies from hostile countries used the art of disguise to sneak into the imperial capital, intending to sabotage the convening of the Round Table Conference. To be on the safe side, can I check whether you are disguised?"

Su Cheng sighed helplessly, then turned his face towards the patrol captain:

"please."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

The captain of the patrol team thanked Su Cheng without being humble, then raised his hand and pinched Su Cheng's face.

The patrol captain pinched the left side of Su Cheng's face with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and then pulled with a force that was neither light nor heavy.

After confirming that he was not wearing any human skin mask, the patrol captain nodded with satisfaction and retracted the hand that pinched Su Cheng's cheek.

"Thank you for your cooperation," the patrol captain said while giving a military salute to Su Cheng.

"No, you're welcome." Su Cheng returned the military salute to the patrol captain very politely.

After finishing his inspection of Su Cheng, the patrol captain led his men behind him and left.

Still staying where he was, watching the patrol leave, Su Cheng smiled bitterly and said to himself:

"This roundtable meeting is really annoying... Today, in the short journey from home to Kailuoer's work restaurant, we have already encountered three waves of patrols..."

Su Cheng shook his head helplessly, then turned around and continued walking towards the restaurant where Kai Luoer worked.
