Chapter 769 Iser's Vacation
Britannian Empire, Eastern, Eastern Front (Rhine Front).
Issel was in a good mood today.
Some days ago, Issel submitted an application to the Central Committee for a month and a half vacation.
And today, the Central Committee’s reply has arrived.
The central government’s reply was very short - approval.
Although the reply was short, it was enough to make Issel feel happy.
Issel hasn't taken a vacation for a long time. He either sits in the imperial capital or the Rhine front in the east, shocking the Frank Empire.
Perhaps the central government approved Issel's one and a half months off holiday, and the Frank Empire has been very peaceful in recent years.
It is very troublesome to apply for a long vacation to a knight of Isel.
It not only needs to state how long you want the holiday.
Also state where you plan to go during this holiday and what you are doing.
Whether you go to the imperial capital to find old friends for tea or go back to your hometown to reunite with your relatives, you have to write them down one by one.
Then the central officials will judge whether to approve your vacation based on the length of the holiday you applied for, where you go, what you do, the current national situation, etc.
And even if you are approved to give you a holiday, if there is an emergency and your strength is needed, your holiday will be terminated immediately.
This is also one of the purposes for you to write down where you are going during the holidays, because this is to facilitate your location quickly in case of an emergency and then pull you back to the front line.
It is easier for ordinary knights to apply for a long vacation, but it is difficult for a national pillar like Issel to apply for a vacation.
So when I got the approval of the central government, Issel himself was surprised, but unexpectedly succeeded.
While Issel was packing his luggage, an old guard who had been following him for many years said to Issel with a smile:
"It's really great, Mr. Issel, the holiday application has finally been approved."
"Yes." Issel also sighed, "It's really a long time since such a long vacation. I almost forgot when was the last time there was such a long vacation."
"I have to thank the Frank Empire for such a long vacation." The old guard continued, "Thanks to the Frank Empire have been very peaceful in recent years, so you can get a long vacation so easily with Mr. Issel."
"Well, yes. Thanks to the Frank Empire."
After saying that, Issel raised his head and looked out the window and towards the east.
From here to the east is the largest and most famous river on the continent - the Rhine.
Further east of the Rhine River, it maintained a state of war with the Britannian Empire for hundreds of years. The Frank Empire, the mortal enemy of the Britannian Empire, was the Frank Empire.
The Britannian Empire and the Frank Empire divided the national borders with this Rhine River.
To the east of the Rhine River is the territory of the Frank Empire.
To the west of the Rhine River is the territory of the Britannian Empire.
Because the front line of the Britannian Empire to defend the Frank Empire was constructed based on the direction of the Rhine River, the Britannian people always called the Eastern Front the Rhine Front.
But the Rhine Front is just a common name for people after all, and the official name of this front is still the Eastern Front, not the Rhine Front.
The Britannian Empire has fought a war with the Frank Empire for hundreds of years and maintained a state of war for hundreds of years. The people of both countries call this long war "the Hundred Years' War".
Everyone hopes to defeat the enemy as soon as possible to end this long war.
But because the Britannian Empire and the Frank Empire were of similar size, no one could do anything to each other, and the two countries were in a stalemate on the east and west sides of the Rhine.
For some reason, the Frank Empire was surprisingly quiet.
Unlike the Britannian Empire in recent years, there are big moves every year. The Frank Empire in recent years is quiet like a shy boy who came to "a happy place that can make boys grow into men overnight" for fun. He quietly hurried aside, not even knowing how to put his hands and feet.
In recent years, the Frank Empire had no other big move except for sending Allen and 4,000 armored paladins to aid the Carolingian Kingdom three years ago (this battle with support from the Frank Empire was Su Cheng's fame battle - the Lund Kingdom Rescue War).
The banks of the Rhine River were also quiet and peaceful for many years.
Thanks to the Frank Empire's peace and stability over the years, the central government of the Britannian Empire felt that even if Issel was not in charge of the front line, there would be no problems, so they were relieved and boldly approved Issel's long vacation.
It is precisely because of the Frank Empire's peace and stability over the years that Issel boldly applied for a long vacation to the central government.
Since the rescue battle of Lund Kingdom three years ago, after his deputy commander of the Gabriel Knights, Nicholas, was killed, the deputy commander of the Gabriel Knights was replaced by another veteran of the Hundred Wars, Edwin Pobran, the four-monarch Knight.
Edwin was originally affiliated with the Knights of Rachel. Not long after Nicholas was killed, he was transferred to the Knights of Gabriel and became the new deputy commander of the Knights of Gabriel.
Edwin is also a very powerful veteran. During the period when Issel's long holiday, he was left to guard the Rhine front.
With Edwin in charge, and with this Rhine Front that he had been running for many years and had long been impregnable, even if the Frank Empire took advantage of his vacation to attack, it would not be able to break the Rhine Front - Issel was very confident about this.
After retracting his eyes from the window, Issel continued to pack his luggage.
And his old guard asked again:
"His Excellency Issel, where are you going to take advantage of this holiday? Are you going back to your hometown in the west?"
"No, I won't go back to my hometown in the west." Issel smiled, "I plan to go to the north, to the Fortress of Avalon, and meet my daughter whom I haven't seen for a long time."
"By the way, I'll try to find out the girl's words and see when she wants to get married. It's really, at such an old age, I'm not going to find a good man to marry. I really don't know what she's thinking."
"Miss Alisa...You have indeed not seen Miss Alisa for a long time."
"I haven't seen each other for a long time." Issel corrected, "I don't know what happened in the war in the north."
Due to the delay in message transmission, the Rhine Front has not received any reports of the "Northern Victory".
"I plan to quietly go to the Avalon Fortress this time."
Issel's old face showed a naughty smile like a child.
"Don't tell Alisa in advance-I'm going to find her at Avalon Fortress."
"Well, it's good. I've imagined the surprised expression of Alisa when she saw me at Avalon Fortress."
...
...
at this time--
Britannian Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress, Su Cheng's home.
It happened to be at home, and Alisa, who was playing with Teresa with Kelol, suddenly sneezes.
"What's wrong?" Kylor asked Alisa, "Did you catch a cold?"
