June 9, 290 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

8:03 a.m.

Pandragon, white field.

Baichang is a huge city square in the center of pandragon.

The white field is a neat rectangle. The ground is paved with ancient white strips of stone. It is about 700 meters long from north to South and 120 meters wide from east to west.

It is the largest and oldest city square in the world.

For a long time, Baichang has been a major venue for many major historical events of the British Empire.

At this time, three troops were lined up in the middle of the world's largest and oldest city square.

The periphery of the white field has long been surrounded by circle after circle of people.

The people around the white field watched the three troops in the center of the white field curiously.

The residents of pandragon knew as early as a few days ago that their motherland was about to launch a new wave of "summer wind" offensive against the south!

The main force of this offensive is still the 150000 troops who have just ended the "Spring Awakening" offensive and are still stranded in the forefront of the south.

Although the "Spring Awakening" offensive ended with the complete victory of the British Empire, under the command of Iser, the British army captured the northern defense line of the Lorraine Empire and a large area of Northern Territory with very low casualties.

However, although the casualties are very low, there are still some casualties.

So gozeven and his think tank decided to send a wave of recruits to the southern front to replace the wounded soldiers.

Today is the day when the recruits who went to replace the wounded soldiers set out!

The three troops in the center of the white field are the recruits who went to replace the wounded soldiers!

Ge zewen paid no less attention to the "summer wind" offensive than to the "spring wake up" offensive.

Because over the years, gozewen has indeed been besieged by the three empires, and he feels a little out of breath and pressure.

Therefore, gozewen is eager to solve the southern Lorraine empire. The best thing is to let the Lorraine Empire have no way to go north to harass the British empire within 10 years! So as to relieve the defense pressure of the Empire.

Therefore, gozewen paid so much attention to "Spring Awakening" and the upcoming "summer wind" offensive.

It is precisely out of the importance of the upcoming "summer wind" offensive that gozewen decided to hold an expedition ceremony for a long time!

The expedition ceremony of the British Empire is also a very old etiquette.

In the past, when the army set out to fight, it would gather the troops to gather in the white field.

Of course, because sometimes the size of the army is too large and the area of the white field is limited, sometimes the departure ceremony will not gather all the troops on the white field, but only a small number of elite troops.

The troops gathered on the white field, and then the commander of the Army stood in the front of the whole army.

His majesty, wearing a helmet and throwing armor, holding the "imperial sword" that only the emperor can hold, boarded a tall building set up at the northernmost end of Baichang.

The emperor who boarded the building would call up the commander of the army.

When the commander of the whole army came up, the commander and the emperor pulled out each other's swords at the same time. The commander pulled out his knight sword, and the emperor pulled out his imperial sword.

They both held each other's swords high, and then let each other's sword tips touch each other in mid air.

After the sword tips touched each other, they shouted in unison, "bring glory to Britannia!".

At this point, the expedition ceremony is all over.

After the expedition ceremony, the commander led the army to officially start the expedition.

This expedition ceremony is also called "ancient expedition ceremony", because it is really ancient.

This expedition ceremony dates back to when the British Empire was founded.

At the beginning, the emperor would hold this expedition ceremony whenever there was a large army to go out.

But with the passage of time, this expedition etiquette gradually became casual.

Up to now, it is not only the emperor and the commander who carry out this expedition etiquette. Sometimes before the start of a battle, the generals participating in the war will also carry out this expedition etiquette in order to boost morale.

Now, it is no longer held every time the expedition.

Now, before the army goes to war, whether this etiquette depends on the mood of the emperor.

Judging from the character of Ge zewen, who is unwilling to talk more about his empty opening remarks and speeches, he is naturally not very interested in this expedition etiquette.

Therefore, in the decades since gozewen became king, the number of departure rituals held before the army's departure is very few, which can be almost counted with two hands.

This time, in order to show his attention to the "summer wind" offensive and boost the morale of the soldiers who went to the front line to replace the casualties, GE zewen decided to hold an ancient expedition ceremony for a long time!

In addition, GE zewen also wants to take advantage of the ancient ceremony of this expedition to cheer up the national pride of the people.

Therefore, as early as a few days ago, gozewen sent people to panderagon and the small towns and villages around panderagon to publicize the "summer wind" offensive and the ancient expedition ceremony to be held at 8:30 a.m. on June 9, and welcomed the people to visit.

Under this vigorous publicity, millions of people in pandragon and its surrounding towns and villages were aware of the ancient ceremony of the expedition to be held on June 9.

Many people are curious about this ancient ceremony.

Therefore, as early as June 9, when the sky was just dawn, many people waited silently around the periphery of the white field.

It's about 20 minutes away from the official start of the ancient ceremony at 8:30.

Although there is still some time before the start of the ancient ceremony, it can be said that the periphery of the white field has been surrounded.

Roughly speaking, thousands of people gathered around the periphery of the white field.

Some people who came a little late could only worry about their toes with a look of chagrin, trying to raise the height of their sight, so that they could pass through the heavy human wall in front of them and see the three troops lined up neatly in the center of the white field.

Of course, some smart people have long expected this situation, so they brought small stools and chairs in advance and calmly stepped on the brought small stools and chairs. Although they are a little far away, with the help of the brought small stools and chairs, they can still clearly see the three troops lining up in the center of the white field.

The mayor of pandragon had long expected that the periphery of the white field would be crowded, so he had already taken corresponding preventive measures.

The mayor of pandragon sent a large number of personnel to manage the people around the white field.

With the help of these personnel, the order of the thousands of people around the white field is still in order. From the order of the people, unless there is any accident, the possibility of vicious events such as stampede should be basically zero.

Now, the three troops in the center of the white field and thousands of people around the white field are waiting quietly, waiting for the passage of the last 20 minutes, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and the beginning of the expedition ceremony.
