Chapter 88: The Eve of the Battle

After a few days.

In the Kingdom of Lund, the Wei River.

night.

Allen finally led the 80,000 Carolingian Kingdom Army to the Wei River this afternoon!

The 86,000 troops of the Britannia Empire are stationed on the west bank of the Wei River, while the 80,000 troops of the Carolingian Kingdom Army are stationed on the east bank of the Wei River.

The star-like lights of the barracks on both sides of the strait illuminated the night sky on both sides of the Wei River.

A round of bright moon hangs high above the night sky, and the moonlight pours into the slowly flowing Weihe River, which reflects the brilliant lights on both sides of the river, giving off sparkles.

At this time, Su Cheng was standing on the bank of the Wei River, silently looking at the camp of the Carolingian Kingdom on the other side.

Alan and Deng Jiaer stood on his left and right sides.

Su Cheng, who was exhausted from dealing with military affairs and intelligence processing, decided to come out to see the night scene and relax his mood. Naturally, Alan and Deng Jiaer were also walking together.

Looking at the surface of the Weihe River, which was shimmering with lights reflecting the lights on both banks, Alan smiled and said, "It's so beautiful."

"That's right, it's really beautiful." Deng Jiaer echoed with a smile.

"Well, it's very beautiful." Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "It's a pity that this beautiful Wei River will be covered with a thick layer of blood tomorrow."

As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, Alan patted Su Cheng's hand, and said angrily: "Brother, pay attention to the occasion when you speak, don't say such hurtful things at this time."

"Hahaha, sorry sorry."

While apologizing without sincerity, Su Cheng raised the teapot and poured hot black tea into a teacup.

Although there was no wind tonight, it was still very cold, so Su Cheng prepared a teapot full of hot black tea and three teacups in advance before coming to the bank of the Wei River.

After filling three teacups with hot black tea, Su Cheng handed two of them to Alan and Deng Jiaer beside him.

"Here, Alan, Deng Jiaer, let's drink."

"Ah, thank you sir."

Deng Jiaer thanked Su Cheng with a happy face while taking the black tea handed over by Su Cheng.

And Alan unceremoniously "snatched" the black tea from Su Cheng's hand, and said:

"Thank you."

After that, the three of them raised the teacups in their hands almost at the same time, and poured them into their own mouths.

"Huha..." After drinking all the hot black tea in the teacup in one go, Deng Jiaer showed a happy smile.

"Sure enough," Deng Jiaer said happily, "Drinking hot tea is the most comfortable in this cold weather."

"Yeah." Alan said with a relaxed face, "I really enjoyed it..."

"Yes..." After Su Cheng agreed, he continued to raise the teacup and pour it into his mouth.

Black tea is the national drink of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia people are famous all over the world for their love of black tea.

There's even a proverb that says that Britannia even piss smells like black tea.

The people from Kailuoer, Alan and Deng Jiaer who live under the same roof as Su Cheng are also experienced "black tea lovers".

Britannia not only likes to drink black tea,

I also like to grow black tea! 60% of the black tea in the world is produced in the Britannia Empire, and the black tea of ​​the Britannia Empire is sold all over the world. It is said that the black tea of ​​the Britannia Empire is also sold to the distant eastern grasslands.

Su Cheng didn't like drinking black tea very much at first, but maybe it was because he had lived in the Britannia Empire for a long time, or maybe it was because the girls living under the same roof all liked drinking black tea, so he unconsciously fell in love with it. During the filming, Su Cheng found that he also fell in love with drinking black tea since he didn't know when.

Now it is even more uncomfortable to drink a few cups of black tea a day.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help sighing in his heart:

I'm really becoming more and more of a Britannia...

"Ah, yes!"

At this moment, Alan suddenly yelled.

"Alan, what's wrong?" Su Cheng asked suspiciously.

"Brother!" Alan turned his head and looked at Su Cheng with starry eyes, "After this battle is over, let's go to the hot spring together!"

"...Alan, don't say this kind of sentence pattern of 'what are you going to do after the war', or 'what are you going to do after you've done something' in the future, it's very unlucky."

"Huh? Why?" Alan asked puzzled.

"...It's hard to explain to you, anyway, you are not allowed to say that again in the future."

"Why!"

"There is no reason, if you are not allowed to say it, you are not allowed to say it. You just need to remember that if you say that again in the future, your brother and I will probably die."

"Huh?" Alan looked terrified, "Is it so serious?"

"It's just that serious. Alright, let's get over this heavy topic first. Let's talk about something lighter. So, Alan, are you going to go to a hot spring? Are there any hot springs near Pendragon? "

"Yes, sir." Deng Jiaer nodded and said, "There is a hot spring near Pendragon, which is said to be quite good, and it is a very popular tourist attraction."

After all, Deng Jiaer showed an expectant expression, and said, "Is it a hot spring... I've never been there before, and I kind of want to try it..."

"That's right, I haven't been to a hot spring either! Brother, it's winter now, and it's the best time to go to a hot spring! Let's treat it as a trip! Let's go to this hot spring near Pendragon Let's go to the hot springs! We are rich now, it should be enough for a trip!"

In this different world, the vast majority of people are still farmers, and they are still struggling to get enough food and clothing. Therefore, "tourism" is an entertainment activity that only the rich and nobles can afford.

However, even so, taking a trip near Pendragon and soaking in a hot spring is not unaffordable for Su Cheng who has some money.

However, Su Cheng said:

"Hey... go on a trip... don't..."

After all, Su Cheng shrugged.

"It's winter, isn't it good to stay under the blanket? Why do you have to go out specially? So let's forget about soaking in hot springs or something."

"Brother, why are you like this!" Alan looked like he was about to cry, "Let's go on a trip together! If you're not here, brother, I won't be having fun!"

"But I'm not interested." Su Cheng said lightly.

"Going to a hot spring is good for your skin!"

"I don't need to maintain my skin."

"Woo... Soaking in hot springs can heal some physical injuries!"

"I'm not hurt."

"Woo... Soaking in hot springs is very good for your health!"

"I'm healthy now, too."

...

While Alan and Su Cheng were "fighting fiercely", Su Cheng felt his right hand being pulled.

Su Cheng turned his head and found that Deng Jiaer was holding his right hand.

"Sir," Deng Jiaer said with some embarrassment, "I... want to go to the hot spring too..."

"Brother! Look, look! Deng Jiaer said so, let's go together!"

"Oh! That's fine! Don't make any noise!" Su Cheng shouted impatiently, "Let's talk about this kind of thing later! Don't forget that we still have a big problem that hasn't been resolved yet!"

After all, Su Cheng pouted his chin towards the Carolingian Kingdom Army camp on the opposite bank.

"Traveling, wait until tomorrow to deal with the 80,000 enemy troops on the other side!"

...

At this time, the camp of the Carolingian Kingdom on the east bank of the Wei River.

Allen and Er were patrolling the Iron Armored Paladin's camp.

Now that he has met with the Britannia Imperial Army, the battle is about to start, so Allen decided to take a look at his ace troops before starting the battle.

In the previous decisive battle at Elon's Ferry, 800 of the 4,000 armored paladins suffered casualties, so the camp of the iron armored paladins was much smaller than before.

Allen, who was patrolling the armored paladin's camp, suddenly spotted a paladin with a thick bandage wrapped around his left eye.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Allen frowned slightly and asked a Paladin beside him.

"I was stabbed blind, Coach Allen." The armored paladin with a thick bandage around his left eye smiled freely, "In the battle at the Ferry of Elon, this eye was stabbed by a long spear. Fortunately, he was rescued by a military doctor, but this eye cannot be cured.”

After hearing what the paladin said, Allen sighed and patted the soldier on the shoulder.

"It's really... thank you for your hard work."

"Hahahahaha, it is my honor to be able to fight under the command of General Allen! How hard it is!" The paladin waved his hand and laughed, "This time, we must lead us to win the battle! "

After saying goodbye to the Paladin, Allen and Er continued to move forward.

Soon, the two of Allen found another Paladin with a finger missing on his right hand and wrapped in a thick bandage.

"What's wrong with your hand? Are you okay?" Allen asked with some concern.

"Hahaha, General Allen, my hand is completely fine! I still have a left hand that can hold a gun!" The paladin smiled and waved his right hand, which was missing three fingers.

"Although I lost a finger in the battle at Elon's Ferry, I didn't feel annoyed at all, because I had a great time killing Britannia in that battle! So I am very grateful to Elon General Lun, yours!"

"So, General Allen." The paladin smiled and said, "This time, lead us to victory!"

After that, he walked away without waiting for Allen's answer.

Allen was silent, looking at the armored paladins walking around.

Then, he whispered in a proud tone: "It's really a good army..."

"Yes." Er, who was standing behind Allen, also smiled, "It is indeed the most proud elite unit of our Frankish Empire."

"With such an army in my hands, how could I lose to the Britannia on the other side?"

After all, Allen turned around, looking at the west bank of the Wei River, and at the camp of the Britannia Imperial Army on the other side.

"Don't worry..." Allen said to himself, "This time, I will also lead you to victory..."
