Chapter 226 The Still Leisurely Eastern Route Army

July 5, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

15:13 pm.

Britannia Army, Center Army, vanguard camp led by Alyssa.

Alyssa and her 7,000 cavalrymen were resting on a small flat land.

And Alyssa was leaning against a big tree, drinking water.

Just as Alyssa was drinking water, a soldier dressed as a scout rode a fast horse and quickly approached Alyssa's location.

"General! At 10 o'clock, enemy traces were found 10 miles away!"

The scout who returned from the reconnaissance mission brought a piece of explosive information to Alyssa as soon as he came back.

Alyssa, who was pouring water into her mouth, immediately put down the water bag after hearing what the returning scout said, looked at her sternly, and then asked:

"scale?"

"About 4,000 people!" the scout replied instantly.

"4000?"

After Alyssa hung the water bag back on the saddle, she pulled out the map from the other side of the saddle and looked at it carefully.

The central route army's vanguard force, composed of 7,000 cavalry, commanded by Alyssa, was tasked with clearing the way for the large forces behind.

Now that an enemy force has been discovered, and its strength is far smaller than hers, there is no reason to let them go.

After making up her mind to annihilate this army, Alyssa took back the map, and then said to a knight beside her:

"Send the order, stop resting! The whole army is ready to fight!"

"yes!"

After the knight responded loudly, he turned his horse's head and conveyed Alyssa's military order.

After watching the knight convey her military orders, Alyssa sighed softly, and then said to herself in a somewhat tired tone:

"It's so hot...it's like being in the South in the summer...it's the most annoying thing..."

Alyssa is most afraid of heat.

Therefore, when Alyssa learned that she was sent to participate in the "Xia Feng" offensive, she almost cried and accepted the appointment.

Alyssa had never participated in the war against the Southern Kingdom, that is, against the Luolin Empire, so she had never been to the Southern Kingdom.

Not to mention the Southern Kingdom, Alyssa has never even been to the southern territory of the Britannia Empire.

Although I have never been to the South Country, although I have never seen it, I have heard of it.

Growing up, Alyssa had heard a lot of rumors about the Luo Lin Empire.

The Rollin Empire has many animals that are not found in other countries.

As far as Alyssa knew, there was an animal called an elephant in the Luo Lin Empire, which was several times or even ten times larger than a horse, with a long nose and big ears.

In addition to animals, the Luolin Empire also has many fruits and vegetables that are not available in other countries. For example, the Luolin Empire has a magical fruit called durian.

It is said that this fruit smells bad but tastes delicious.

Alyssa has always been curious about this fruit that smells bad and tastes delicious. She has always wanted to taste this magical fruit called durian.

But it's a pity, because this fruit is only available in the Luolin Empire, and the very southern territory of the Luolin Empire is suitable for growing this fruit.

Therefore, due to the long distance, Pendragon has basically never sold durian. Alyssa has never had the opportunity to taste this fruit in the past 20 years.

Of course, apart from magical animals and fruits, the most rumored thing Alyssa has ever heard about the Rollin Empire is - hot!

All along, Alyssa has heard many knight friends who belong to the Rachel Knights tell her that the Luolin Empire is incredibly hot in the summer.

Listening to their exaggerated descriptions, Alyssa thought they were joking.

But now after coming to the Southland this summer to carry out the "Summer Wind" offensive, Alyssa finally understood.

She realized her friends weren't kidding! It’s really incredibly hot in the South in summer!

It’s just hot,

Still very boring.

Even if he was not doing anything, just sitting under the shade of a tree, he would still be sweating.

The most terrible thing is that he has to fight in armor in such hot weather.

Alyssa was born into a noble family, so the armor she used was naturally not ordinary.

The white and gold armor on Alyssa's body is made of very expensive special metals.

In terms of quality and practicality, it is no worse than the new set of armor given by His Majesty that Su Cheng is currently using.

Alyssa's armor is not only lighter and harder than other ordinary armors, it is also more breathable than other ordinary armors.

Alyssa has also done relevant experiments. When wearing this set of white and gold armor, it is indeed much cooler and more comfortable than wearing other ordinary armors.

But even so, in this ridiculously hot weather, no matter what you wear, it doesn’t mean much!

Even if you don't wear anything, sweat will still come out in a steady stream.

After wiping the sweat off her forehead, Alyssa showed a wry smile, then pulled out the spear stuck aside and pulled the reins of the horse lying aside.

After pulling the horse to her side, Alyssa climbed onto the horse very skillfully.

After sitting on the horse, Alyssa sighed again and said:

"I really want to go home quickly... I would rather not participate in this 'Xia Feng' offensive... I don't want this military glory..."

After saying this in frustration, Alyssa raised her free left hand, rubbed her face so that she could feel refreshed, and then raised her head and looked east.

Looking at the distant skyline in the east, Alyssa murmured:

"I wonder how Su Cheng is doing over there... He must be suffering from the heat just like me now..."

When she thought that Su Cheng might be like her now, sweating all over her body due to the heat, moaning in agony due to the heat, and wanting to go home, Alyssa felt a lot more balanced in her heart, and even the corners of her mouth could not help but smile slightly. It tilted up a little, revealing a naughty smile.

…

At this moment.

Britannia Imperial Army, Eastern Route Army Camp.

The coach’s camp.

"It looks like everyone is here."

Su Cheng, who was sitting at the main seat at the long table in the camp, said vaguely while chewing the watermelon in his mouth.

Su Cheng, who was sitting at the head of the long table, was not wearing any armor, only a cool summer dress.

He leaned back in his chair and silently enjoyed a piece of watermelon that had just been frozen in river water.

That look was so leisurely.

Seeing the leisurely look of their coach, Willie, the deputy commander of the Eastern Route Army who had just entered the coach's camp, as well as the commanders of the 4th Army and the 8th Army were all stunned.

"Coach?" Willy said first with a shocked look on his face, "Why don't you wear armor?"

"What kind of armor are you wearing?" Su Cheng said in a joking tone, "Wearing armor in such a hot weather? I don't have any masochistic tendencies."

"I'm in the coach's camp now and I don't go out to meet people, so it doesn't matter what I wear, right?"

"Okay, let's get to the main topic of today."

"The reason why I called everyone here urgently is because I want to hold a brief military meeting with you and tell you about the new intelligence from the scouts and spies."

"Everyone, please take a seat. Ah, there is watermelon here. You can eat whatever you want. This watermelon has just been frozen with river water. It is delicious."

As Su Cheng spoke, he pointed to the large plate of watermelon placed in the center of the long table.

"Anyway, it's not a very formal or serious meeting. Let's take off our armor like me and have a meeting together while eating."

After saying that, Su Cheng took another bite of the watermelon in his hand.

"The watermelon here is pretty good." Su Cheng said in a praising tone while chewing the cold pulp in his mouth, "This is the first time I've had such a good time eating watermelon, and I was sent to participate in the 'Xia Feng' offensive. It was so great that I don’t want to go back any time soon.”
