April 21, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia Empire, somewhere 60 miles north of Pendragon.

"Everyone rest where they are!"

After receiving the commander's order to rest, the soldiers sat down one after another and began to rest.

Either catching up on sleep, relaxing the muscles of the legs, or chatting with the companions around me.

"Easy, it's so easy." Yara smiled at Darlene who was sitting next to her. "This way of marching is not difficult at all. It's so easy!"

Darlene also responded with a smile at this time: "Yes, compared with our previous training, this way of marching is really easy. If it were the usual training, I would definitely have tightened up by now.

It’s time to go to sleep, so I won’t chat with you.”

"I heard that we are almost at the imperial capital now." After saying that, a look of anticipation slowly appeared on Yara's face, "I wonder what the most prosperous city in our empire is like... I really want to visit it.

Let’s go shopping.”

"We don't have a chance to visit the imperial capital." Darlene replied angrily, "We're not here to play, we're here to participate in the military parade."

At the end of February this year, I learned that the empire was preparing to hold a grand military parade. It was planning to send 5 brigades from each of the three major knight orders to the imperial capital to participate in the military parade and to give sufficient rewards to all the generals of the participating troops.

Afterwards, the commander of the 4th Army, Dale, immediately went crazy and began to pay close attention to the training of the 4th Army.

Because time is very tight, the time for selecting troops is also very short.

Half a month is only half a month. During this half month, whichever brigade has the best training results will be selected to participate in the military parade.

Dale, who loves money, spent the rest of the half-month period, other than handling military affairs, going to various training grounds to catch up on the training of each brigade for this reward.

Under Del's madness, he succeeded in creating a miracle. On behalf of the Michael Knights, 3 infantry brigades, 1 cavalry brigades, and 1 archer brigades went to the imperial capital for a military parade, all of which were troops of the 4th Army!

If a brigade is formed, the commander of the brigade will be rewarded with 500,000 heroes.

Therefore, because all five brigades were Dale's troops, Dale received a full reward of 2.5 million British crowns.

After learning that the five brigades that went to participate in the military parade were all troops of her 4th Army, Dell almost fainted with joy.

The 17th Brigade where Darlene belongs is one of the three infantry brigades that went to the Imperial Capital for a military parade on behalf of the Michael Knights.

At the same time, it is also the only one among the five brigades that is made up entirely of new recruits.

After passing the selection and determining that they were one of the five brigades going to the imperial capital for the military parade, the four brigades except the cavalry brigade only practiced one thing from that day on: walking in unison.

Weapons training, marching training and other trainings are all temporarily canceled.

The period of preparation for the military parade was the most enjoyable time for Darlene and the others since they joined the Knights of Michael.

Compared with weapons training and marching training, walking in step training is simply not easy.

The walking training is the most popular training among the generals. Although the walking training is also very tiring and the feet will be very painful, but the training with the weapons will make the hands weak and unable to lift, and the training with the weapons will make you so tired that you don’t even want to say anything.

Compared with marching training, which can even cause vomiting and collapse due to exhaustion, walking training is really easy.

Not only was the selection time very tight, but also the time for emergency training. Darlene and the others only practiced for about half a month and officially set off for the imperial capital at the end of March.

After trekking for nearly a month, we are finally almost at the imperial capital.

"Look, look, Darlene, that is the carriage of the head of the group." Yara nodded towards a gorgeous carriage not far from them, and continued with excitement, "This is the head of the group."

This is the first time that Your Excellency's carriage is so close to us. Ah, I really want to see what Your Excellency, the group leader, looks like... It's really hard to believe that our group leader is a young man not many years older than us.

…”

"When you become a knight in the future, you might have the opportunity to see the leader's face clearly." Darlene said half-jokingly.

"How can I become a knight?" Yara replied angrily.

…

…

While Darlene and her friend Yara were chatting and having fun, the gorgeous carriage that the group leader they just mentioned was sitting in.

"We are almost reaching the imperial capital."

Humphrey lifted the curtains on the car window, looked out, and then continued:

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet what gift you plan to give to Her Highness Ilsa for her birthday."

"Before you ask me, let's talk about you, Mr. Humphrey." Su Cheng smiled at Humphrey, "What gift do you plan to give Ilsa?"

"I plan to give Her Highness Ilsa two white arc birds."

"White Arc Bird...it's a nice gift. Ilsa will definitely like it."

The White Arc Bird is a very cute and small bird in the north. Even if it is brought to the Imperial Capital, they can adapt to the temperature and climate of the Imperial Capital. It is perfect to send a little girl like Ilsa.

After all, little girls generally like these cute little animals.

"What about you, Mr. Cheng, what gift are you planning to give to Lady Ilsa?"

"I'm going to give her this."

After saying that, Su Cheng took out a small gadget from his arms.

"this is?"

"This is a very popular little toy on the market now. It can be played by one person and is very playable. My sister just bought this and couldn't put it down."

"I see, this is also very suitable for Her Highness Ilsa. But"

Speaking of this, Humphrey put on a wry smile.

"I'm just afraid that His Highness Gale will confiscate the toy you gave to His Highness Ilsa on the grounds that 'it will affect Ilsa's study'."

"Yes..." After saying that, Su Cheng sighed softly, "I just hope His Highness Gale won't be so harsh..."

Su Cheng took the gift intended for Ilsa back into his arms and continued:

"To be honest, I have always felt that the person who proposed holding a military parade on Ilsa's 8th birthday must have something wrong with her brain. To hold a military parade on a girl's birthday... Who came up with this?

...It's better to hold a flower viewing event than to hold a military parade..."

April 27th is Ilsa's birthday.

This year is Ilsa's 8th birthday.

Someone, or maybe several guys who don't know what they are thinking, actually proposed to hold a grand military parade full of steel smell on the birthday of such a cute girl...

What's even more amazing is that this proposal was passed.

Therefore, the official name of the military parade held on April 27 was one of the subsidiary activities of a series of activities to celebrate Ilsa's birthday.

But anyone with a brain can see that this is not used to celebrate Ilsa's birthday at all. It is just a naked display of Britain to the domestic vassals and other countries in the name of celebrating Ilsa's birthday.
