Chapter 441 Sense of Belonging and Pride

"...'King of Knights' Arthur handed over the Eastern Front to Avalon, who was best at defensive warfare under her command. And she herself gathered 8 of the 12 Knights of the Round Table, as well as all the people in the country who could mobilize The cavalry - a total of 100,000 cavalry, went deep into the territory of the barbarians in the west and launched a lightning-quick attack on the barbarians."

"This was the largest and most arduous battle launched by the Suyingland Empire against the Western Barbarians. The 'King of Knights' named this strategic decisive battle against the Western Barbarians the 'Battle of the Northern Cross', and later generations also called it ' The Northern Cross Blitzkrieg', because this decisive battle against the barbarians was a battle that flexibly used the high mobility of the cavalry to launch a lightning-fast attack against the Western barbarians."

"This Northern Cross Blitz is one of the four most famous battles that the 'Knight King' personally commanded in her life."

The bard who was telling Darlene and others about the legendary deeds of the "Knight King" was very eloquent and very good at adjusting his tone and intonation to arouse everyone's emotions.

At this point, he had successfully aroused the emotions of everyone in the room.

Darlene was now staring at the bard, because she was so focused that she even breathed a lot softer unconsciously.

Darlene was not alone, because almost everyone in the room was staring at the young bard just like her, looking forward to the next story.

Until tonight, Darlene didn't know that the Britannia people had such a great ancestor thousands of years ago - the "Knight King".

The bard told them tonight about one of the Knight Kings' most famous battles - the Blitz of the Northern Cross.

It was also tonight that Darlene learned that the Britons established their first country, the Suinland Empire, thousands of years ago.

When the "Knight King" succeeded as Emperor Suyinglan at the age of 16, the Suyingland Empire at that time was suffering from internal and external troubles. At that time, the Suyingland Empire was far from being as big as the current Britannia Empire. At that time, the Suyingland Empire was surrounded by people from all directions. enemy.

Among them, the greatest threat to the Su Yinglan Empire was the barbarians in the west.

The western part of the Britannia Empire is now a very peaceful and prosperous area. It is the most densely populated area of ​​the Britannia Empire. The Britannia Empire now has a population of more than 80 million, and the population in the western region is They account for most of the country's total population, nearly 50 million, and are the breadbasket and main source of soldiers of the Britannia Empire.

However, this prosperous western region of the Britannia Empire was the territory of brave barbarians thousands of years ago.

Although the barbarians in the west have a very low level of civilization and have just emerged from the tribal period, in their culture, they believe that dying in battle is something to be proud of. Therefore, all the barbarians are brave and good at fighting and are not afraid of death. , which brought great suffering to the Su Yinglan Empire at that time.

The Su Yinglan Empire was almost destroyed by the Western Barbarians several times.

As a wise king, the "Knight King" naturally deeply understood the threat posed by the barbarians in the west to their Su Yinglan Empire.

Therefore, after succeeding as Emperor Su Yinglan, the "Knight King" actively rectified the internal affairs of the empire. After stabilizing the interior of the empire, he launched an all-out war against the barbarians in the west.

Most of the famous battles in the life of the "Knight King" took place in the war with the Western Barbarians.

For example, tonight the bard told Darlene and others about the decisive battle at the Northern Cross.

The bard vividly recounted this famous decisive battle on the Northern Cross, how the "Knight King" made decisions and judgments, and how brave the eight Knights of the Round Table who followed the "King of Knights" in this decisive battle on the Northern Cross were Fighting.

Darlene and the others were fascinated by what they heard.

Finally, when I heard that the decisive battle of the Northern Cross ended with the "Knight King"'s complete victory, more than 100,000 Western Barbarian troops were annihilated, almost all the main force was annihilated, and the Western Barbarians were no longer able to advance eastward in a short period of time, Many recruits in the room cheered.

"Long live!"

"Long live the 'King of Knights'!"

"How awesome! The 'Knight King' is so awesome! The Northern Cross Blitz just hearing the name makes me excited! Did we have such a great ancestor! Long live the 'Knight King'! Long live Britannia! "

"Long live Britannia!"

…

Although Darlene did not cheer along with these people, her heart was not at peace at this time.

——It turns out that... I have such great ancestors!

Darlene has never been as proud as she is now of being a Britonian and a descendant of the 'King of Knights'.

Darlene felt extremely excited and proud when she thought that her ancestors had made such great achievements.

...

Everyone in the room did not know that while they were cheering for the "Knight King" and being proud of themselves as Britannians and as the ancestors of the "Knight King", a gap was quietly opened in the back door of the room. .

A young man with black hair and black eyes was observing the situation in the room where Darlene was through this gap.

…

Looking at the cheering recruits in the room, Su Cheng's lips turned up slightly, revealing a happy smile.

"Look, Willy, Dale." Su Cheng turned his head and said to the brown-haired young man and red-haired woman following him, namely Willy and Dale, "This is why I specially invited the bards The reason why we came here is that we want to make the soldiers have a sense of belonging, make the soldiers proud of their motherland, and proud of being Britannias. Soldiers who are proud of their country and nation will face the When faced with a foreign enemy, it will erupt with a powerful combat power that will frighten the foreign enemy."

Willy, who was also observing the situation in the room through the crack in the door, nodded seriously and said:

"I seem to understand your intention, Captain."

"I still don't quite understand..." Dale said with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Su Cheng smiled at Dale, "You should be able to understand in the future. An army with faith, an army that does not fight for money and food, such an army is very scary. .”

After saying these words, which both Willy and Dale understood but didn't understand, Su Cheng walked out.

"Let's go, Willy, let's go back to Avalon Fortress. Del, you stay at Base 1."

"Yes." Dale and Willy responded in unison.

…

The carriage that Su Cheng and Willy were riding in left the Knights' Base No. 1 and headed towards the Avalon Fortress.

Among the five military bases of the Knights of Michael in the north, Base No. 1 is the closest to Avalon Fortress. If you take a straight road, it only takes 8 hours to get from Avalon Fortress to Base No. 1.

"It looks like I'm going to sleep in the carriage tonight." Su Cheng, who was sitting on the carriage, gently twisted his body and adjusted his sitting position so that he could sit more comfortably. "I didn't expect that I There are also times when time is so tight that I have to take a carriage home overnight. There are really too many things to do... Whether it is business or private matters, there are so many things that make me want to resign as the group leader..."

After saying that, Su Cheng raised his head and sighed.
