Chapter 88 The Eve of the War(1/2)

A few days later.

Within the Kingdom of Lund, Wei River.

night.

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

The Britannian Empire's 86,000-strong army is stationed on the west bank of the Vi River, while the Carolingian Army's 80,000-strong army is stationed on the east bank of the Vi River.

The star-like lights of the military camps on both sides of the river lit up the night sky on both sides of the Wei River.

A bright moon hangs high in the night sky, and the moonlight pours into the slowly flowing water of the Wei River. The water of the Wei River reflects the brilliant lights on both sides, with little ripples of light.

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 were on his left and right sides.

Su Cheng, who was exhausted from handling military affairs and intelligence, decided to go out to see the night view and relax his mind. Naturally, Alan and Deng Jiaer also accompanied him.

Looking at the water of the Wei River in front of him, which was shimmering due to the reflection of the lights on both sides, Alan smiled and said, "It's so beautiful."

"Yes, it is indeed very beautiful." Deng Jiaer also smiled and agreed.

"Yeah, it's very beautiful." Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "It's a pity that this beautiful Wei River will have a thick layer of blood floating on it tomorrow."

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

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry."

While Su Cheng apologized without sincerity, he raised the teapot and poured hot black tea into three teacups.

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

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

"Here, Alan, Deng Jiaer, drink."

"Ah, thank you sir."

Deng Jiaer thanked him happily and took the black tea handed over by Su Cheng.

Alan "took" the black tea from Su Cheng's hand without politeness, and then said:

"Thank you."

Then, the three of them almost simultaneously raised the tea cups in their hands and poured them into their mouths.

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

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

"Yeah." Alan said with a comfortable look on his face, "It's really enjoyable..."

"Yes..." Su Cheng agreed, then continued to raise the tea cup and pour it into his mouth.

Black tea is the national drink of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia's love for black tea is famous around the world.

There is even a proverb that goes like this: Britannia’s urine smells like black tea.

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

Britannia not only likes to drink black tea, but also likes to grow black tea! 60% of the world's black tea is produced in the Britannia Empire. The black tea from the Britannia Empire is sold all over the world. It is said that Britannia Empire

The black tea from the Daniya Empire was 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 several girls living under the same roof all liked drinking black tea, so he unknowingly started to drink black tea.

, Su Cheng found that he didn’t know when he started to like drinking black tea.

Now I have reached a state where I feel completely uncomfortable if I don’t drink several cups of black tea a day.

When thinking of this, Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

I'm really starting to look more and more like a Briton...

"Ah, right!"

At this moment, Alan suddenly shouted.

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

"Brother!" Alan turned his head and looked at Su Cheng with eyes full of stars, "When this battle is over, let's go to the hot springs together!"

"...Alan, don't say this kind of sentence again in the future, 'what are you going to do after the war?' or 'what are you going to do after you finish doing something?' It's very unlucky."

"Why?" Alan asked in confusion.

"...This is difficult 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. Just remember that if you say that again in the future, your brother and I will probably die."

"?" Alan said with a look of fear on his face, "Is it that serious?"

"It's so serious. Okay, let's get over this heavy topic first. Let's talk about something lighter. So, Alan, do you mean 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 that is said to be quite good. It is a very popular tourist attraction."

After saying that, Deng Jiaer showed an expectant expression and said: "Hot spring... I have never been there before, and I kind of want to try it..."

"Yes, yes, I haven't been to a hot spring either! Brother, it's winter now, so it's the best time to go to a hot spring! Let's just 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, we should have enough money to go on a trip!”

In this different world, the vast majority of people are just farmers, struggling to make ends meet, so "travel" is an entertainment activity that only the rich and nobles can afford.

However, even so, Su Cheng, who had a little money, could not afford to travel to Pendragon and soak in a hot spring.

However, Su Cheng said:

"...Go on a trip...Don't..."

After saying that, Su Cheng shrugged.

"It's winter, wouldn't it be nice to just stay in bed? Why do you have to go out all the way? So let's forget about taking a bath in a hot spring or something like that."

"Brother, why is this 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 have fun!"

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

“Going to a hot spring is good for your skin!”

"I don't need to take care of my skin."

"Ugh... soaking in hot springs can heal some physical injuries!"

"I have no injuries on my body."

"Woo... taking a bath in the hot springs is very good for your health!"

"I'm very healthy now too."



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

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

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

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

"Oops! Okay! Stop arguing!" Su Cheng shouted impatiently, "Let's wait until later to talk about this kind of thing! Don't forget that we still have a big issue that we haven't solved yet!"

After saying that, Su Cheng raised his chin towards the Carolingian Army camp on the other side.

"We will wait until tomorrow to deal with all the 80,000 enemy troops on the other side of the tourism issue!"



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

Allen and Er were patrolling the camp of the armored holy cavalry.

Now that they have met the Britannia Imperial Army, the battle is about to begin, so Allen decided to take a look at his ace unit before the war begins.

In the previous decisive battle at Elun Ferry, 4,000 armored holy cavalrymen suffered 800 casualties, so the armored holy cavalry camp was much smaller than before.

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

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Allen frowned slightly and asked a paladin on the side.

"Being stabbed blind, Coach Allen." The armored paladin with a thick bandage on his left eye said with a carefree smile, "In the battle at the Ferry of Iron, this eye was stabbed by a spear.

But luckily, I was revived by military doctors, but there was no way to cure this eye."

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

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