Chapter 205: Expedition Ceremony (2)

At this time, in the center of the white field.

Su Cheng was standing at the forefront of the middle one among the three armies.

The ancient ritual of going out to battle was performed by the emperor and the commander of the army together.

As the head coach of the Eastern Route Army in this "Xia Feng" offensive, Su Cheng was naturally at the forefront of the army.

Standing at the forefront of the army with Su Cheng were Allen, the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army during the "Xia Feng" offensive, and Alyssa, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army.

Allen stood at the forefront of the army on the left, Alyssa stood at the forefront of the army on the right, and Su Cheng stood at the forefront of the army in the middle.

For this "Summer Wind" offensive, Jacob proposed a plan to allow more young people to participate in this offensive so that they could receive more training. At the same time, this plan was agreed and passed by almost everyone.

Therefore, in addition to Su Cheng being the coach of the East Route Army, Alyssa was also appointed as the deputy commander of the Central Route Army. In this "Xia Feng" offensive, Alyssa will serve as the coach of the Central Route Army—— Albert's deputy, who fought alongside him.

In addition to Alyssa and Su Cheng, a large number of young knights were also sent to participate in this "Xia Feng" offensive.

In addition to sending a large number of young knights, the empire is also preparing to send a large number of new soldiers this time, not only so that the young knights can be trained in this "Summer Wind" offensive, but also so that the young soldiers can also be trained.

The thousands of soldiers standing behind Su Cheng, Allen, and Alyssa were all new recruits who had never even been on the battlefield.

After the expedition ceremony is over, Su Cheng and others will rush to the southern front with these thousands of new soldiers to replace all the casualties.

The number of new soldiers is exactly the same as the number of casualties. Therefore, after replacing these casualties with new soldiers, the number of the army will return to 150,000.

After Su Cheng and others lead the new soldiers to the southern front, it will also be the time when the "Xia Feng" offensive officially begins...

…

"ha……"

Su Cheng, who was standing at the forefront of the troops in the middle, yawned loudly.

"It's so boring..."

Su Cheng muttered softly.

Although Su Cheng, Allen, and Alyssa stood at the front of the three troops respectively.

But the three of them are not on the same level.

Because their current status is different.

Su Cheng and Allen are the commanders of the East Route Army and the West Route Army in this "Xia Feng" offensive.

It can be said that they are the two people with the highest status in this battle.

And Alyssa was just the deputy commander of the Central Army in this offensive, and the adjutant of Albert, the coach of the Central Army.

Judging from their names, we can see the difference in status between Alyssa, Su Cheng and Allen in this battle.

Therefore, although Su Cheng, Allen, and Alyssa are all at the forefront of the three troops, they are not on the same level.

Su Cheng and Allen have equal status in this battle, so they naturally stand on the same level.

Alyssa's status was lower than that of Su Cheng and Allen, so she stood slightly further back.

Su Cheng originally wanted to chat with Alyssa to pass the boring time waiting for the emperor's arrival.

However, compared to him, Alyssa stood farther back. In addition, Su Cheng, Allen, and Alyssa were already quite far apart, so it was impossible to chat with Alyssa. Just can't do it.

And now you are not allowed to move around freely. Everyone in the White Square has to stand obediently, waiting for the emperor's arrival. If you walk around now, it will be a disrespectful act, so Su Cheng has no way to walk over. Chat with Alyssa.

Therefore, Su Cheng could only give up the idea of ​​chatting with Alyssa to pass the time.

Since there was no way to chat with Alyssa, Su Cheng began to think about who he could chat with now.

The first thing Su Cheng thought of was his sister and Deng Jiaer.

Alan and Deng Jiaer, who are Su Cheng's knight retinues, are naturally here as well.

The two of them are now standing behind Su Cheng.

Unfortunately, I was standing a little further back.

According to the conventions of expedition etiquette, the coach's knight retinue is naturally qualified to follow the coach.

However, you can't follow too closely.

The knight's retinue can follow Su Cheng, but they must keep a distance of 3 steps.

Three steps away... This distance is still too long for small talk.

Therefore, Su Cheng gave up the idea of ​​chatting with Alan and Deng Jiaer.

So...who else can I look for now...

——Su Cheng thought secretly in his heart.

When I can't move around and can only stand in place, I can only chat with people who are very close to me. Then, the only people who are very close to me are...

Just as Su Cheng was thinking about this, a familiar young male voice suddenly came from the back right side:

"Coach, look, the recruits behind you are all looking excited. I'm really curious whether they can maintain such a cheerful look after they go to the battlefield."

After listening to the young male voice, Su Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then turned his head and said to the young man standing on his right, half a step away from him:

"Willie, it's not a good habit to laugh at newcomers."

While standing still and unable to move, the only person close to Su Cheng was the adjutant standing on his right, only half a step away from him!

In this "Xia Feng" offensive, each route army commander was assigned an adjutant.

And it should also be to implement Jacob's plan of "well cultivating young knights and young soldiers". The adjutants of the commander of the 3rd Army are all young people.

The adjutant of the central army coach Albert is Alyssa.

The adjutant of Allen, the coach of the Western Route Army, is a young man, but Su Cheng does not know this young man.

The adjutant of the East Route Army coach Su Cheng happened to be a young man, and this young man was also an acquaintance of Su Cheng, and the two had fought side by side not long ago!

That's right, Su Cheng's adjutant was none other than Willy Miller, who served as the commander of the 3rd Army during the rescue battle in the Kingdom of Lund at the end of last year!

During the rescue battle in the Kingdom of Lund at the end of last year, Su Cheng had good cooperation with Willie Miller, who was the commander of the 3rd Army at the time.

In the process of cooperating with Willy, Su Cheng had a good impression of Willy.

First of all, he is tall and strong, a head taller than Su Cheng who is 1.8 meters tall, and he is also good-looking.

Secondly, his personal ability is also very good. Willy, who is only 28 years old this year, has already become a Knight of Orchid and can be regarded as a leader of the younger generation.

During the rescue battle in the Kingdom of Lund, while working with the military commanders and deputy commanders, Su Cheng realized that in terms of personal ability, Willy's ability was second only to Alyssa.

Su Cheng was also very satisfied with his cooperation with Willy in the rescue battle of the Lund Kingdom.

Su Cheng almost shouted with joy when he learned that Willy would serve as his adjutant in this "Xia Feng" offensive.

——It is really a matter of celebration and joy to have a familiar and capable person as your deputy.

At this time, Willie, who was the deputy commander of the East Route Army and Su Cheng's adjutant, was standing on the right rear side of Su Cheng.

Just when Su Cheng wanted to chat with Willy to pass the time, Willy came to the door himself.

Since Willy took the initiative to come over to chat, Su Cheng was naturally happy to have a little chat with Willy.

After teasing Willy and "criticizing" him not to laugh at the recruits, Su Cheng turned his head and looked at the recruits behind him.

However, just as Willy said, the faces of most of the recruits were full of joy that could not be concealed at all.

Su Cheng could basically guess why most of the new recruits had happy faces.

——Because it’s fresh.

The boring training day after day is finally no longer necessary. Finally, you can go to the battlefield, gain military exploits, become a knight, receive generous rewards, marry a beautiful noble girl, and reach the pinnacle of your life!

——Su Cheng believes that this should be what these new recruits are thinking now.

Most people who choose to join the army have a dream in their hearts to achieve great success on the battlefield and then become famous.

In the Britannia Empire, if you want to get ahead, joining the army should be the best way.

Because the Britannia Empire favored martial arts, in order to encourage its soldiers to fight bravely, a relatively complete military merit system was formulated as early as the founding of the country.

As long as you can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, no matter what your origin is, you will be rewarded.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless people from ordinary or even humble backgrounds who have achieved fame and fortune on horseback and then achieved class leaps.

Su Cheng - can be regarded as a ready-made and the best example.

Su Cheng relied on his martial arts skills on horseback to transform from a man who could only sleep in a stable to a wealthy man who could even go to hot springs.

As long as you understand this, it is easy to understand why most of the recruits are excited.

Of course, the reason why they are excited may also be related to the equipment they are wearing now.

Each of the thousands of new soldiers in White Field is equipped with brand new equipment.

This expedition ceremony still has a political mission, to boost the national pride and cohesion of the people, and to strengthen the people's support for the military.

Therefore, the image of these thousands of recruits gathered on the white field for the marching ceremony is important.

Therefore, Gozewen specially ordered that all the new soldiers who went to replace the casualties on the front line should be equipped with the latest armor and weapons!

Because of this, the thousands of recruits standing behind Su Cheng, Allen, and Alyssa were each wearing brand-new, shiny armor and holding long guns that had been shipped from the blacksmith shop just two days ago.

Wearing new clothes is always a joyful thing.

I have to say that Ge Zewen's strategy is still somewhat effective.

Even though he was far away from the people surrounding the white field, Su Cheng could still vaguely hear many people praising these new recruits for how handsome they were.

As for some recruits with sharp ears, when they heard some people complimenting them on how handsomely they were dressed, the joy on their faces became a little more intense, and then they opened their already wide shoulders a little wider, and then they opened their shoulders even wider. Just stand up straight, stand a little straighter.

Looking at the new recruits who were even more happy because of the people's praise, Su Cheng couldn't help but smile.

But it is true that the new recruits, who have put on a whole new set of equipment, look very handsome in appearance.

However, none of them are more handsome than Su Cheng.
