July 5, 290 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

15:13 p.m.

The Britannia army, the Middle Route Army, the vanguard camp commanded by Eliza.

Eliza and her 7000 cavalry are resting on a small flat ground.

Eliza was leaning against a big tree and drinking water.

Just as Eliza was drinking water, a soldier dressed as a scout rode a fast horse and quickly approached Eliza's place.

"General! At 10 o'clock, we found traces of the enemy 10 miles away! "

The scout who came back from the reconnaissance brought a very powerful intelligence to Eliza as soon as he came back.

Eliza, who was pouring water into her mouth, immediately put down the water bag after hearing the words of the returning scout, looked at it with a cold look, and then asked:

"Scale?"

"About 4000 people!" The Scout returned in seconds.

"4000..."

After hanging the water bag back on the saddle, Eliza took out the map from the other side of the saddle and looked at it carefully.

Eliza commanded the vanguard force of the Middle Route Army composed of 7000 cavalry, whose task is to open the way for the large forces behind.

Now that an enemy force has been discovered, and its strength is much smaller than that of her enemy force, it is natural that there is no reason to let them go.

Having made up her mind to destroy the army, Eliza took back the map and said to a knight on her side:

"Keep the order and stop resting! The whole army is ready to fight! "

"Yes!"

The knight answered loudly and turned his horse's head to convey Eliza's military order.

After watching the knight convey her military order, Eliza sighed gently, and then said to herself in a somewhat tired tone:

"It's so hot... Southern China in summer... It's the most annoying..."

Eliza, she's afraid of heat.

Therefore, when she learned that she was sent to participate in the "summer wind" offensive, Eliza almost took over the appointment with a sad face.

Eliza had never participated in the war against the south, that is, against the Lorraine empire before, so she had never been to the south.

Not to mention the south, Eliza has never even been to the southern territory of the British Empire.

Although I've never been to southern China, I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it.

Growing up, Eliza has heard many rumors about the Lorraine empire.

The Lorraine Empire had many animals that other countries did not have.

As Eliza knows, there is an animal called elephant in the Lorraine Empire, which is several times or even ten times the size of a horse, with a long nose and big ears.

In addition to animals, the Lorraine Empire also has fruits and vegetables that many countries do not have. For example, the Lorraine Empire has a magical fruit called durian.

It is said that this fruit smells and tastes delicious.

Eliza has always been curious about this smelly and delicious fruit. She has always wanted to taste this magical fruit called durian.

But it's a pity, because this kind of fruit is only available in the Lorraine Empire, and it is the territory in the south of the Lorraine empire that is suitable for planting this kind of fruit.

Therefore, due to the long journey, pandragon has never sold durian. Eliza has never found the opportunity to taste the fruit in the past 20 years.

Of course, in addition to magical animals and fruits, Eliza has heard the most rumors about the Lorraine Empire, that is - heat!

All along, Eliza has heard many Knight friends belonging to the Rachel Knights tell her that the popularity of the Lorraine empire in summer has reached an unimaginable level.

Listening to their exaggerated descriptions, Eliza thought they were joking.

But now after coming to the southern country this summer to carry out the "summer wind" offensive, Eliza finally understood.

She understood that her friends were not joking! It's really hot in the south in summer to an unimaginable degree!

It's just hot. It's very stuffy.

Even if I didn't do anything, I just sat in the shade of a tree, and sweat kept coming out from afar.

The worst thing is to fight in armor in such hot weather.

The armor used by Eliza, who was born in a noble family, naturally would not be any ordinary goods.

Eliza's white and gold armor is made of very expensive special metal.

In terms of quality and practicability, it is no worse than the new armor given by his majesty Su Cheng.

Eliza's armor is not only lighter and harder than other ordinary armor, but also has better air permeability than other ordinary armor.

Eliza has also specially done relevant experiments. Wearing this set of white and gold armor is indeed much cooler and more comfortable than wearing other ordinary armor.

But even so, in this incredibly hot weather, no matter what you wear, it doesn't make much sense!

Even if you don't wear anything, sweat will keep coming out.

After wiping the sweat off her forehead, Eliza smiled bitterly, then pulled out the long gun and pulled the reins of the horse.

Pulling the horse to the front and back of the heel, Eliza turned over and got on the horse very skillfully.

After sitting on the horse, Eliza sighed again and said:

"I really want to go home soon... I'd rather not participate in this' summer wind 'offensive... I don't want this military skill..."

After saying this very sadly, Eliza raised her empty left hand and rubbed her face so that she could be more energetic, so she looked up to the East.

Looking at the distant skyline in the East, Eliza murmured:

"I don't know what happened to Su Cheng... He must be suffering from the heat like me now..."

At the thought that Su Cheng might be like her now, sweating all over her body, crying and wanting to go home, Eliza felt a lot of balance in her heart. Even the corners of her mouth could not help turning up a little, revealing a naughty smile.

……

this moment.

Britannia Imperial Army, East Route Army camp.

Coach camp.

"It seems that everyone is here."

Su Cheng, sitting at the head of the long table in the camp, said vaguely while chewing the watermelon in his mouth.

Su Cheng, who is sitting at the head of the long table, is not wearing any armor. He is only wearing a cool summer suit.

I leaned back in my chair and silently enjoyed a watermelon just frozen in the river.

It's so leisurely.

Looking at the leisurely look of his coach, Willie, the deputy commander of the East Road army who had just entered the commander's camp, as well as the commander of the 4th Army and the commander of the 8th Army, were stunned.

"Coach?" Willie was shocked and said, "why don't you wear armor?"

"What armor are you wearing?" Su Cheng said in a joking tone, "do you still wear armor in such hot weather? I have no tendency to be abused. "

"I'm in the coach camp now and don't go out to see people, so it doesn't matter what I wear?"

"Well, let's get to the point today."

"The reason why I urgently called you here is to have a short military meeting with you and tell you about the new intelligence from scouts and spies."

"Let's all sit down quickly. Ah, there are watermelons here. You can eat them casually. The watermelons have just been frozen in the river. They are delicious."

As Su Cheng spoke, he pointed to the large plate of watermelon in the middle of the long table.

"Anyway, it's not a very formal and serious meeting. Let's take off our armor like me and have a meeting while eating melons."

After that, Su Cheng ate the watermelon in his hand again.

"The watermelon here is good." Su Cheng said with praise while chewing the cold pulp in his mouth, "it's the first time I eat watermelon so well. It's great to be sent to participate in the 'summer wind' offensive. I don't want to go back in the short term."
