Chapter 18 Safe Return (Part 2)
When Kane was about to greet his subordinates and escort Alice to the military camp, Alice suddenly remembered Cons. Needless to say, the words and actions of Kane and others had already shown her identity. She looked at Cons a little worriedly, but found that he was still quietly by her side as before.
The shrewd Kane of course always paid attention to Alice's words and deeds, and immediately found Alice looking at the soldier who appeared with her, and also paying attention to this inconspicuous soldier. At this moment, Kane was a little surprised.
Although the guy in front of him didn't say anything, his figure and expression were still on alert. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who are you?"
Cons gave Kane a standard military salute: "Captain of the Fifth Team, the Second Regiment, the Second Regiment, the Fifth Team, the Second Regiment, the Fifth Team, the Second Regiment, the Fifth Team."
Cons was not afraid that others would misunderstand that he was faked by an officer. When this military information was appointed, he immediately sent it to the royal department for archives. Once you check it, you will know whether it is true or false.
Alice hurriedly said, "It was he who rescued me from the barracks." As she said that, she told me about the rescue of Cons.
"Oh, good guy, you have made great contributions." Kane said enviously.
As long as Princess Alice becomes Queen Alice, Cons will have the merit of saving the Lord, which is a great contribution.
Moreover, Cons is also a captain. Although his position is not high, he is not low. Promotion is not difficult at all. Although he is a lowly person without a surname, no matter what, he has a bright future. When Kane thought of this, he immediately patted Cons on the shoulder generously and called him brother.
"I dare not take it." Cons just nodded calmly to Kane's enthusiasm, and then saluted Alice and said, "Your Highness, the mission of the subordinate has been completed. Please allow the subordinate to retreat to the team." Of course, he learned these verbal names in the officialdom after hearing too much.
Seeing Cons still talking to himself in the same expression and tone as before, the only difference was that he added a title.
Alice suddenly realized that Cons had known her identity for a long time, and a complicated feeling surged in her heart, and the anger and shame of being teased and making a fool of herself were mixed together.
She thought Cons didn't know her identity, so when she was alone with Cons, she would show her little daughter's character from time to time.
However, when she originally wanted to get angry, she saw Cons's plain and peaceful eyes as the sky, and suddenly realized that even if she showed her identity at that time, Cons's attitude towards him would not change much.
During this period, the scenes of her and Cons being with each other were replaying in her mind, thinking of the mountains, the wind, the trees, the water, the bonfire, and the sweet game.
When Alice blushed when she thought of her encountering a snake in a bath and being seen naked by Cons.
Thinking of Cons' care and consideration for himself, a sweet shyness and a warm feeling replaced all the moods, the look of looking at Cons became blurred.
Cons's appearance is only considered an ordinary person who is not outstanding. But even in the crowd, he can be recognized quickly.
How to say it? His appearance is different from those noble young masters in the royal city who have fair skin, soft words, sissy behavior, and beautiful appearance. He is not only different from those generals who have been born in bloody battles, have evil spirits, and are rude in their words and deeds. Instead, he is a man who is obsessed with the appearance and becomes more attractive the more he looks.
Cons, who was born on the battlefield, has this inexplicable temperament, perhaps because his eyes reveal an indescribable smell.
When Kane heard Cons's words about to say goodbye, he immediately spoke out, "Cons, your troops are all destroyed. What team do you still have? Why not join our Seventh Legion?"
"That's right, Cons, your mission has not been completed yet, because you have not delivered me to the capital yet. Besides, you have not even received the reward." Alice continued immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, Alice was shocked. How could she try to keep Cons without thinking?
I thought Cons would think about it before answering, but I didn't expect Cons to say, "Yes, I'll take the order."
Alice blushed. She thought Cons must have stayed because she spoke. In fact, Cons would accept Kane's advice because he didn't know what he could do besides war.
"Kain, continue to carry out the tasks assigned to you by Gula. Give me an extra horse. Cons and I will go to the camp by ourselves." In order to divert our somewhat happy mood, Alice hurriedly said.
"As for the order, your majesty... by the way, Cons, can you ride a horse?" Kane looked at Cons strangely. The unit number that Cons just mentioned was infantry.
"Of course it will..." Princess Alice, who had answered first, suddenly remembered the incident of riding a horse with Cons, and her face turned red again.
But Princess Alice's performance was too obvious. Except for Cons who went to the forest to pull a white horse, everyone around the princess noticed something was wrong.
Kane frowned slightly, trying to say something, but forced himself to hold it back silently, leaving a horse and ten cavalrymen, and said goodbye to Alice and went on his patrol mission.
After Cons came out, the princess handed the horse to him, rode her own white horse, and shouted loudly: "Go!"
When Cons was riding a horse down the mountain, he noticed that the ten cavalrymen were competing with him as if nothing had happened.
Although I don’t know what’s going on, the studious Cons immediately discovered that this was an opportunity to learn equestrians. The rugged mountain roads and the knights with superb equestrian skills are the best forging chains for Cons’ equestrians.
Cons followed behind and stared at the knights' every move, putting their skills on him, and carefully experiencing his feelings about the horses during that terrifying escape.
I don’t know if Cons is a genius or his horse is excellent. Soon, Cons has achieved the unity of man and horse, and the horses and people are relaxed and free, as if riding in the wind.
When the knights saw this scene, they were not only not displeased, but also admired that they had never seen such a perfect horsemanship.
So, when they arrived at the camp and Cons thanked them with a smile, they just felt that Cons was thanking them for leading the way.
"Your Highness, Oh, Your Majesty. It's great that you're fine."
An old man with a strong figure and mighty appearance in the costume of a commander of the Legion, busy greeting the barracks, saluted the princess first, and then knelt down to salute: "Gula, the commander of the Seventh Legion, see Your Majesty."
Behind him, there were a large number of division commanders and legion division staffers kneeling down.
Of course, Alice immediately helped Gula up, and then the two of them showed a sign of a virtuous king and loyal minister.
After Gula was helped up by the princess, she began to complain: "Your Majesty, you have suffered for many days. My subordinates have prepared the utensils for washing. Please go to the main camp to rest." As she said that, she attracted two specially selected maids.
Gula is related to the princess, and Gula grew up watching Alice, so talking to Alice is like a fatherly voice and her eyes are a little tears.
"Okay, then thank you Gula Father." The princess responded in a sweet voice and followed the maid in.
She had been nervous for many days and could finally settle down for a while. When she left, she did not forget to glance at Cons, but this time she did it very naturally and no one noticed it.
After watching the princess enter, Gula smiled at Cons and said, "You are Cons who rescued the princess from the enemy camp alone?"
As soon as Cons heard this, he knew that Kane had sent a quick horse to inform Gula.
Cons quickly gave an impeccable military salute: "Subor Cons, please see the commander of the Legion."
"Well, okay, you go and have a rest first." It seems that Gula is very satisfied with Cons.
"Yes." Cons obediently followed a soldier into his temporary barracks.
He really needs a break.
For seven days, I never really had a good night's sleep, so as soon as I lay in bed, Cons fell asleep immediately.
At night, Cons was woken up by a soldier and brought for supper.
Originally, the princess wanted to invite Cons to have dinner together, but for some reason she gave up the idea and sent someone to deliver him food.
Cons was not polite and finished the meal quickly. His movements were very military, and no grain of rice fell off the table. Maybe it was because he had lived a habit of not knowing what he had done before.
Shortly after dinner, Cons was led to the coach camp, where a meeting was held. Cons was not qualified to attend, but Alice personally called him to attend, so she had the opportunity to attend.
All the generals in the coach camp were here.
The radiant and beautiful Alice sat in the main seat, while Gula and a general with the position of deputy commander of the army were sitting on both sides at the lower head.
Below them are the division commanders, brigade commanders, team commanders and staff above the division commander, while those corps commanders and others stand around, with the participants hanging aristocratic heralds.
Most of the noble soldiers who were inconsistent with the queen were concentrated in the Seventh Army, which is why the Seventh Army supported the princess who was at a disadvantage.
The lowest position of Cons appeared here and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Cons only gave a military salute and stood silently in the darkest, last corner.
After Alice saw Cons come in, she announced the start of the meeting.
"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a master for a day. I think that the army should be sent back to the court, first ascend the throne, and then lead the troops of the whole country to eliminate the enemy." This is what Gula said.
The deputy commander of the army opposite Gula said, "I think the enemy should be eliminated first, and then the army should be returned to the court. At that time, no one dares to disobey Your Majesty."
The two of them argue endlessly about what is the first priority to attack the enemy and ascend the throne to kings.
The generals below also began to discuss with the people around them.
When Alice raised her hand, everyone calmed down. They wanted to hear what this future queen had.
Alice is different from ordinary princesses. Because the king gave birth to her only, the palace teachers treated her as the prince to educate her.
She was confident and suddenly wanted to know Cons' ability, so she blurted out and asked, "Cons, what do you think?" Although she was a little insulted after saying it, she still pretended to be very interested.
When Alice heard Alice's words, except for the strange expressions of Gula and his son, all the generals looked around blankly, and most of them did not know who Cons was.
Cons was stunned when he heard the princess's name. Although he was wondering why the princess asked him, he still stood up and saluted and said, "Your Majesty." Following the trend, he also called Alice as His Majesty.
"I don't have any opinions, I just think that I should first understand the strength of both the enemy and us, and then make a decision." After saying that, I bowed and left.
"That's right. Kane, you are responsible for reconnaissance. Let's talk about the comparison between the enemy and our troops."
Alice was very satisfied with Cons's answer. She knew her current identity and the responsibilities she had to bear. She would never destroy the only army that supported her.
"Yes, your Majesty. Our Seventh Army has five divisions. Since it is a strengthening division, there are more than 60,000 cavalry in addition to the baggage troops.
"Based on the information obtained by the scout, there were about fifty thousand enemies in front of us."
Everyone felt relieved when they heard the numbers Kane said. Sixty thousand cavalrymen were fighting against 50,000 infantry, and who would win and lose at a glance. They would definitely be able to easily destroy these 50,000 infantry and take the opportunity to regain the occupied land.
Seeing that everyone showed a victory expression, Kane hurriedly continued: "Among the enemy, there are 20,000 former guards who are betrayed by all the former guards. On their left and right, there is a legion of about 50,000 people. Other guards are distributed among these two legions, and there are several legions coming from the Black Rock Kingdom behind."
When everyone heard the Imperial Guards, they took a breath of air conditioning. They were heavy-armed cavalry that was stronger than the Seventh Army, and there were nearly 100,000 troops on both sides.
When I heard the endless enemy troops behind me, I felt a little headache.
They knew that even if they defeated the Imperial Guards, the remaining troops would be unable to resist the enemy behind them.
So now there is only retreat? They all look at Alice.
Alice frowned and thought of a solution. She didn't want to go back to the king's capital to compete for the throne with her stepmother without any military achievements, because those generals who surrendered to her stepmother would not be loyal to her useless self.
Everyone in the Shuaiying Camp was also thinking of a solution. They all knew that if they went back like this, their reputation would be gone. The relationship with the queen was already bad, but now they were loyal to the princess and became mortal enemies. If they fled without fighting now, wouldn’t they be able to get a handle?
But I can't beat it, what should I do?
