Chapter 36 Free Knight(1/2)
October 5, 289 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannian Empire, 2:27 pm.
Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Ilsa's study.
"...As a general, you can use not only the soldiers under your command, but also the weather and terrain. Therefore, you must always pay attention to the weather and terrain, and use the terrain and weather flexibly..."
Sitting opposite Su Cheng, Ilsa listened carefully to Su Cheng's teachings, nodding her head from time to time while writing down the key points that Su Cheng said on paper.
After finishing all the teaching content set for today, Su Cheng exhaled heavily, leaned back, used his back to find the back of the chair, and picked up the kettle he brought from the table to drink water.
The teaching time of each teacher in Ilsa is the same, one and a half hours. Although Su Cheng did not teach continuously for one and a half hours, and there were pauses in the middle, he should have taught for one and a half hours continuously.
It's quite tiring.
...
It has been more than two months since Su Cheng was named the new Knight of the Laurel.
Su Cheng originally thought that after becoming a new knight, he might be sent to one of the three knights, and he would no longer be able to be Ilsa's art of war teacher, but he did not expect that he would not be sent to one of the three knights.
Sent to any knight order because he is a "free knight".
There are two types of knights in the Britannia Empire. One is "free knights" like Su Cheng, that is, knights who are not affiliated with any knightly order.
The other is a knight who belongs to a certain order. For example, Elisa and Enli belong to this type of knight. They both belong to the Order of Gabriel. People call this kind of knight a "resident knight".
”.
A free knight means a free knight who is not affiliated with any knightly order.
Nearly 1/3 of the knights in the empire are free knights like Su Cheng.
When a war broke out and the army sent to fight lacked knights to command, this group of "freedom knights" were sent there to fill the vacancies. After the war, they left the army and returned to Pendragon.
Generally speaking, the "freedom knights" will be forced to stay in the imperial capital Pendragon, so that the emperor can dispatch the "freedom knights" wherever needed.
Su Cheng is a "freedom knight" who is not affiliated with any knights. There is nothing to do in the daily life of a "freedom knight". He only needs to stay at home, wait for the emperor's orders, and wait for dispatch.
So Su Cheng also continued to serve as the art of war teacher to the emperor's granddaughter Ilsa.
"Anyway, you usually have nothing to do, so just continue to be a teacher." These were the exact words Emperor Ge Zewen said to Su Cheng 2 months ago.
Su Cheng has no objection to becoming a "Freedom Rider" and continuing to be Ilsa's teacher.
When telling Ilsa some art of war and military knowledge, it can also help him recall and review the military books and military books he read when he was still on earth. Moreover, he also likes Ilsa very much, a little girl who has no princess disease at all.
Li.
Being a "freedom knight" is a very exciting thing for Su Cheng. He usually doesn't have anything to do. He doesn't need to stay in the barracks or train. He just needs to wait to be dispatched every day.
.
Moreover, when the "Freedom Riders" can stay in Pendragon for a long time, if possible, Su Cheng does not want to be separated from Kailuoer, Alan, and Deng Jiaer, not to mention Kailuoer and Alan.
, have been bonded for many years, and although the time spent with Deng Jiaer was short, Su Cheng gradually fell in love with this little girl Deng Jiaer, and fought with her through life and death during the counter-insurgency battle 2 months ago.
After that, Su Cheng gradually regarded Deng Jiaer as a family member.
…
"Ilsa, I've finished what I'm going to talk about today. There's still some time before the scheduled end of get out of class. Let's take a break. I think you've been writing for a long time." Su Cheng said to Ilse who had just taken notes. Sha said.
"Uh-huh."
Ilsa rubbed her right hand, which was sore from writing for so long.
"Teacher Cheng," Ilsa's eyes were filled with little stars, "can you tell me another story about how you led troops to fight the rebellion two months ago?"
Su Cheng smiled bitterly.
"Do you want to tell me again? Haven't I told you so many times in the past two months?"
"Because it's really exciting. Teacher Cheng, your fighting style is really amazing. Teacher Cheng, your battle two months ago felt as exciting as the plot of a storybook!"
"Let's have another day, it's almost time for get out of class to end." Su Cheng responded with a wry smile, "Besides, I have an appointment later, so I don't have enough time."
Ilsa pouted.
"Then... let's wait for another day. I almost forgot. I also have an appointment later."
After several months of getting along, Su Cheng gradually got to know and became familiar with Ilsa, a little lolita.
Ilsa is very interested in the art of war, military affairs, etc., especially the wonderful battles in history. Every time she has a chance, she asks Su Cheng to tell her about some wonderful battles.
Moreover, Ilsa is not that kind of delicate princess. Over the past two months, Su Cheng also learned that in addition to providing cultural classes for Ilsa, the emperor also opened a "martial arts class" for her and invited a group of
A master of martial arts, come to help Ilsa exercise and practice martial arts.
Once, Su Cheng saw with his own eyes Ilsa, a 6-year-old loli, throwing a waiter who was two heads taller than her over her shoulder and throwing him away.
"Teacher Cheng, you just said you had an appointment. Did you mean..."
Ilsa straightened up, placed her hands on the small round table, then put her face close to Su Cheng's, smiling ambiguously.
"Are you going on a date with your lover?"
"Cough cough cough!"
Su Cheng, who happened to be swallowing his saliva, was startled by what Ilsa said and choked on his own saliva.
"It's not with my girlfriend... I don't have a girlfriend yet. I just want to go to the blacksmith shop with my two knights and a friend to pick up some things, and by the way, we can buy new clothes for autumn and winter together."
"It turns out it's not with my lover... I'm so disappointed."
With a touch of disappointment on her face, Ilsa sat back on the chair.
"So," Su Cheng put on a mean smile and looked at Ilsa, "Ilsa, you just said you had a date, do you mean you are going to have a tryst with your little lover?"
"I don't have a little lover," Ilsa rolled her eyes at Su Cheng cutely, "it's just that my father will return to Baiyang Palace later."
Father? Ilsa's father?
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment before finally reacting.
"Ah, it's His Highness Gale. His Majesty Gale is going back to Baiyang Palace this afternoon."
Gaelic Augustus, Crown Prince of the Britannia Empire.
Although the current emperor Gozevin Augustus is relatively dull and has little ability, under his rule, the national power of the Britannia Empire has declined instead of rising, but he still has some merits worthy of praise.
For example, his dedication.
Emperor Ge Zewen's dedication is well known to the world.
There is no such thing as monogamy in this world. Although the Britannia Empire has long been equal to men and women, there is still polygamy.
As long as you have the ability, you can marry as many women as you want.
Anyone with a bit of money and status has two or more wives, let alone an emperor. Which emperor doesn't have a harem full of concubines?
However, Ge Zewen was strange. He only had one wife, and that was his queen. Ge Zewen had a deep affection for the queen, and he only married the queen in his life. However, ten years ago, the queen unfortunately passed away due to illness.
Su Cheng heard that on the night of the Queen's death, Gozevin's sorrowful pain resounded throughout Pendragon, and people in every corner of Pendragon could hear Emperor Gozevin's sad cry.
Moreover, since the death of the queen, Ge Zewen has not married a new woman or established a new queen. The position of queen has been vacant until now, and it may remain vacant until the death of Emperor Ge Zewen.
Because Gozevin only married such a woman in his life, he did not have many sons. He only had one son in his life, and that was the current crown prince Gael Augustus.
And Gale only has one child so far, her daughter Ilsa.
After His Highness Gale came of age, he was sent by Gozevin to various places in the empire for training. Since then, Gale rarely stayed in Pendragon.
Gale is different from his father Gozevin. When Gale went to various places in the empire for training, he showed extraordinary means and wisdom, which was in sharp contrast to his dull and incompetent father.
Therefore, although many people did not say it, they were secretly looking forward to Gozevin's death soon, so that Gale could become emperor and revitalize the Britannia Empire.
And Gale, who rarely returns to Pendragon, is actually coming back this afternoon. It's really strange. Su Cheng, who has been Ilsa's teacher for several months, has never seen this Gale until now.
"I didn't expect His Highness Gale to be back." A smile appeared on Su Cheng's face, "Ilsa, you must be very happy."
"Yeah!" Ilsa nodded vigorously with excitement on her face.
Ilsa's family has a very good relationship. Ilsa likes her grandfather Gozevin and her father Gale very much. During the teaching process, Su Cheng heard Ilsa tell him more than once that she
Missing her father.
Speaking of which, we have to praise the second praiseworthy thing about Gozevin: he is particularly good to his family.
After these two months, Su Cheng has realized Go Zewen's selfless and profound love for Ilsa. Otherwise, the relationship between Ilsa and Go Zewen would not be so good, and neither would Ilsa.
I like Ge Zewen so much.
Presumably, the relationship between Gozevin and his son Gale is also very good.
And although Ge Zewen is not very good at handling political affairs, he is still very good at handling family affairs, which can be seen from his tutoring.
When his son Gale was training in the local area, he was praised for his heroic demeanor, while his granddaughter Ilsa did not have the slightest hint of pampering or any princess disease. She was kind-hearted and intelligent...
So Su Cheng was still convinced by Ge Zewen's tutoring.
"I wonder why His Highness Gale is back now?" Su Cheng said to himself, "There doesn't seem to be any festivals now."
After hearing Su Cheng's words, Ilsa's face darkened.
"I heard that the reason why my father came back was related to the war between the Lund Kingdom and the Carolingian Kingdom."
