"Why are you here?"
This is not only Rean's question.
This is a question shared by Kurt, Yuna, Ash, and Miao Jie.
The time is June 17, 1206, Qiyao Calendar, Saturday, the second day after departure, and the first day of the exercise.
The time is around 7 o'clock in the morning.
The location is the Juno Maritime Fortress, the military garrison near Ordis, the sea capital.
The students are now very proficient and can get up on time and set up the camp step by step without the instructor having to worry too much.
Rean and the new Class VII also went to the briefing room to receive their tasks as usual.
Like the previous two internships, the first day was just an appetizer, playing World of Warcraft, doing chores, and running around the neighborhood.
Recommended, it’s really good, it’s worth installing for all book lovers, and it’s supported by both Android and Apple phones!
The newly joined Ash immediately made complaints similar to Kurt's before - what's the difference between this guy and a guerrilla?
Yuna was so angry that she responded directly - Is there a problem with the guerrillas?
No problem, definitely no problem.
It's better that Ash likes this kind of work. Simply practicing is not satisfying at all. Actual combat is obviously more interesting.
But before that, I have to go to the garrison and the government and say hello to a few local talkers.
Since the previous Duke Kane has been imprisoned for rebellion, and the new Duke Kane has not yet been elected, Ordis is currently in a period of administration where the government temporarily accepts its fate.
Although the appointed Marquis Balde is also a veteran marquis, his personality and style are a bit hard to describe. He is not as conscientious as Rufus and Marquis Fernand Haynes. It is easy to imagine how popular he is...
Therefore, neither Rean nor the Second Branch regards the Duke's Palace as their first priority.
Of course, you can't say this to students. It's just that the Marquis was very busy for the "State Conference" and had no time, so he went to see the agent, the commander-in-chief of the Lamar State Army, Brigadier General Wores.
So the group of people drove a three-wheeled locomotive to the Juneau Maritime Fortress.
Rean, Yuna, and Ash are responsible for driving.
Altina, Miao Jie, and Kurt were in charge of taking the car.
As an empire full of martial virtues, Erebonia has facilities like fortresses that are not uncommon. There are dozens of them in the old Five Continents, the New Eight Continents, and so on.
Among the many fortresses, Juno Sea Fortress is unique and extremely special.
Although it is not as huge as the Galeria Fortress, it has a long history and a very special geographical location.
As the name suggests, it is built on the sea and was built in the dark ages. It was originally used to defend against threats from the sea. Later, because it was close to the sea, it became the base camp of the Lamar State Army. It has been continuously repaired and expanded and is still in use today.
Before Alleria became the principal, this had always been her residence.
After the noble alliance launched a rebellion, it naturally became the base camp of the rebels, where an astonishing amount of war preparation materials were stored.
After the Noble Alliance was completely defeated, Alleria led 50,000 soldiers to make the final stand, which lasted for a year.
No matter how fiercely the regular army attacked, they could not break through this strong fortress. In order to avoid excessive casualties, the imperial government could only change its strategy and conduct negotiations.
The final result was that Alleria led her men to launch the "Northern Campaign" and captured Northampria. The government took the rebellion lightly, and this led to a series of subsequent events.
Since Duke Kane was the culprit of the rebellion, the nobles of Lamar State were weakened the most. The leading army was also renamed the "Unified Local Army" and its strength was reduced to only 30,000.
However, the maritime fortress, which was the last pride of the leading army, was still preserved. As the base camp of the unified local army, it gathered the elite of the original leading army and was managed by Brigadier General Wores.
With the relationship of the branch principal, the meeting should go very smoothly. After a formal greeting, the acting can begin - that's how it should be.
However, when Rean and his party entered the fortress, but instead of going to the command room, they were taken to the exclusive dining room by the orderly, everyone realized that something was wrong.
When they entered the restaurant and saw the scene inside, Rean's blood pressure skyrocketed.
The former city lord, Alleria, who should never appear here, sat on the main seat with a majestic look, embracing the breakfast elegantly.
Sitting on the left and right sides were Rean's two little followers, Xiao Di and Xiao Huan, listening to Alleria's talk about the table manners of nobles.
Next down are the faculty and staff of the second branch who are not participating in internships.
Minter, who was out of line, stuffed something into his mouth and said to Dr. Schmidt opposite: "This is delicious, doctor, please eat more."
When the eccentric doctor meets the unreasonable Minte, he has no choice but to say: "No one will compete with you, so eat slowly."
Linde and Betsy, two old classmates, help each other out.
Serestan stood at the back, looking at everything in front of him with a smile.
In comparison, the current owner in front of him, Brigadier General Wores, and the two guests who were also old acquaintances, Claire and Patrick, seemed so inconspicuous.
So, Yuna made the first sound, Kurt and Altina were surprised, and Miao Jie and Ash looked at her playfully.
Rean rubbed his temples vigorously and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Come on vacation." Alleria said matter-of-factly. "Anyway, there's nothing going on at the branch, and no one else has any arrangements. I just want to take everyone out to relax, and give you a surprise - how about it? Surprise or surprise? ?”
Everyone: "..."
For the first time, I have an urge to beat someone up.
Li En glared at Xiao Huan, no wonder she didn't make a fuss when he said he would leave her for a few days, nor did she follow him quietly.
I thought it was because she had grown up and become more sensible, but I didn't expect that she didn't need to be quiet and could follow openly.
This girl must have seen this line of cause and effect.
Xiao Huan turned a blind eye to this and continued to fight against the breaded steak in front of him.
Alleria waved her hand: "Don't look like that. Although you should have had breakfast, you have digested some in the past hour or so. Let's sit down and eat something together? I'm not boasting. The dining standards of the leading army are comparable. The regular army is much taller.”
Rean didn't answer. He took out Arcus from his pocket and dialed the exclusive return line that everyone had.
"Derflinger, this is Rean Schwarzer, please pick up instructor Michael."
Alleria's eyebrows moved momentarily, and before she could continue speaking, a response came from the other side.
"I'm Michael, Shu Huaze, what's new?"
"Yes, I am currently in the restaurant of Juno Sea Fortress. The branch principal is dining here with Xiao Di and Xiao Huan."
"Branch principal?" Mihail's voice suddenly rose an octave higher, "Give ARCUS to the branch principal."
"!"
Rean handed over the force guide expressionlessly, earning a glare from Alleria.
Rean was unmoved. You attacked me suddenly, so don't blame me for retaliating.
You translate for him first. What is a surprise?
