Chapter 707: Navy Arrives

Port Lot - the only ice-free port in the North all year round.

Not only is it very large, it is also the closest port to Avalon Fortress.

It is simply a perfect naval base.

The navy went north along the coastline and finally arrived at Port Lot before the deadline.

It was already hot June when Mud and Blaise led the navy to Port Lot.

After leading the navy to Port Lot, Mud and Blaise left their troops and took a carriage to Avalon Fortress, ready to meet the supreme commander of the "Northern Great Turn" operation, their immediate superior - Su Cheng.

It is very necessary to meet with the supreme commander of this operation, not only to discuss the details of this operation together, but also to get acquainted with each other.

On the way to Avalon Fortress, Mud and Blaise kept reminding each other.

Reminding each other - be polite in front of Su Cheng, and never take advantage of your seniority and think that you are an old predecessor and disrespect Su Cheng.

Although Su Cheng was too young, he was still the leader of the Knights of Michael and the highest person in charge of the northern front, as well as the supreme commander of this operation.

If Su Cheng was annoyed, he would have plenty of ways to deal with them.

They were both unfamiliar with Su Cheng and did not know what kind of person he was, so they decided to be careful.

They took a carriage and finally arrived at the Avalon Fortress after a while.

When they arrived at the south gate of the Avalon Fortress, they saw a scene that made them stare with wide eyes.

A group of knights wearing armor and wearing knight swords stood outside the south gate of the fortress to welcome them.

The leader of this group of knights was a young man who was too young, with black hair and black pupils, smiling, and looked harmless.

Although Mud and Blaise had never seen Su Cheng in person, they had seen Su Cheng's portrait and knew the color of Su Cheng's pupils and hair.

Therefore, they recognized the leader of this group of knights at a glance, and it was Su Cheng.

The dozen knights behind Su Cheng should be the knights of the Knights of Michael.

Seeing that Su Cheng personally brought the knights of the Knights of Michael to the fortress to greet them, Mud and Blaise were flattered.

So grand, is it really to welcome our two little Navy Commander and Deputy Commander?

Mud and Blaise looked at each other, confused.

The two quickly rolled down from the carriage and walked up to him.

Mud and Blaise saluted Su Cheng and said in unison:

"Your subordinate greets His Excellency the Commander!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Su Cheng immediately walked up and patted them on the shoulders.

"No need to be polite, both of you! You are knights of my grandfather's level, and I have heard of your great names for a long time!"

"I am completely relieved that you will be in charge of the navy in this battle!"

"Come! Let's go to the headquarters of the Knights of Michael! I have prepared a grand welcoming banquet for you!"

Su Cheng warmly shook hands with Mud and Blaise, and his kind words instantly relaxed the two people who were originally a little nervous and uneasy.

It seems that this Su Cheng is not an arrogant, disrespectful and rude person, which makes Mud and Blaise's favorability towards Su Cheng soar.

Of course, Mud, who has been a soldier for 46 years, still noticed a detail.

That is, when Su Cheng was talking to them just now, he always called himself "I" instead of "your subordinate".

"Your subordinate" is a humble title. When a superior speaks to a subordinate, he can also call himself "your subordinate".

Su Cheng does not look like the kind of person who does not know etiquette, so Mud guessed that Su Cheng deliberately did not use humble titles.

The purpose was to demonstrate to the two of them.

Tell them that he was the leader of the Knights of Michael and the highest person in charge of the northern front. He was the highest person in charge of the "Great Turn of the North" operation, and his rank was far higher than theirs. He warned them to pay attention to their identities.

Although he didn't know if Su Cheng didn't need to be humble for this reason, even if Su Cheng really didn't use humble words to warn them, Mude didn't care.

After all, as long as Su Cheng didn't openly deny them face, Mude would be satisfied.

In fact, Mude and Blaise didn't know that Su Cheng was a little nervous when he greeted them.

Su Cheng was also worried that they were old and didn't give him, the commander-in-chief, face.

If they didn't give Su Cheng face, Su Cheng might not say anything, but Su Cheng's subordinates, especially Willy, Raymond, Alyssa, and Deng Jiaer, might not remain calm.

These four people are Su Cheng's confidants, and they are also the four knights who respect Su Cheng the most among all the knights in the Knights.

If Mude and Blaise took advantage of their seniority in front of Su Cheng, they would most likely upset them, and even quarrel or fight.

The commanders of the navy and the army were at odds with each other - this was the scene that Su Cheng least wanted to see.

In order to make the commanders of the two armies get along, Su Cheng also gave Mude and Blaise enough face.

Not to mention the luxurious welcoming banquet, he also personally led all the knights of the Knights to welcome them outside the fortress.

Fortunately - Mude and Blaise were also sensible people.

In front of Su Cheng, he did not act rashly or take advantage of his seniority.

After seeing the two of them respectfully salute and greet him, Su Cheng finally felt relieved.

Everyone gave each other a face, so that they could work together.

And Mude guessed that the reason why Su Cheng did not use humble words was to warn them - this was actually completely wrong.

The reason why Su Cheng did not use humble words in front of them was because - Su Cheng did not have the habit of being humble.

Unless it was a major occasion like meeting the emperor, Su Cheng would not deliberately use humble words.

When they walked together towards the headquarters of the Knights of Michael, Mude also saw Elisa who came to the fortress with Su Cheng to greet them.

After seeing Elisa, Mude was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Because Elisa and Abigail looked almost exactly the same, the only difference was probably that Elisa's hair was slightly longer.

When Mude was young, he once met Abigail in the army by chance.

Abigail's beautiful appearance left a deep impression on Mud at that time, and Mud still remembers Abigail's appearance clearly until now.

After seeing Alyssa, Mud almost thought that Abigail had resurrected and appeared in front of him.

Mud couldn't help but praise Alyssa's appearance, praising her for looking almost exactly like her mother.

Seeing that Mud had actually seen her mother, Alyssa was a little surprised.

After hearing Mud praise her for looking very similar to her mother, she couldn't help but curl up her lips slightly, revealing a proud and happy smile.

Being praised by others for looking very similar to her favorite and respected deceased mother - this made Alyssa very happy.
