In the morning light, a beautiful three-masted ship appeared on the sea. The main mast of the ship was hung with a flag representing the emperor of the Muluo Empire, and the second-highest mast was hung with the family emblem of a nobleman whom Winters did not know.

With three masts, this ship is not comparable to a small boat like the Skuo. The three-masted ship in front of him is a grand warship, with three stories high in the stern and forecastle. The towering ship tower is like two hump-mounted on the deck.

A small boat like the Skuo is like a dwarf in front of such a giant in front of a giant. The other party will be crushed to death by touching his finger.

"It's up, it's really a good thing for us to wait." Andre complained to Winters in a low voice.

Winters yawned: "I don't know which big man he is."

As temporary guard of honor, before dawn, Winters and Andre were waiting at the Navy Pier outside the sea blue city, now sleepy.

Bud was lucky to be out because he was a little short. Winters, Andre and eighteen other trainee officers were unfortunately picked out, and are now holding long halberds and armor as a guard of honor to support the scene for the Army.

When the investigation turned to the army, Winters became very leisurely. Because all the formal officers were higher than his rank, an intern officer was not qualified to ask any formal officer.

Although the military police are theoretically the tools used by the army to deal with their own people, the military police departments under the control of Field are different.

The Army Headquarters Gendarmerie Department is essentially just a gatekeeper, and the headquarters wall is the boundary of its jurisdiction. The "grid police" are only responsible for standing guard by a few gates on weekdays and have never arrested anyone.

So Winters has been on duty in the office recently, doing some receiving and receiving documents and scheduling the doorman. He had nothing to do when he had nothing to do and had tea and chatting with the scribe Moluc to pass the time. He still had a lot of time to deal with his own private affairs, such as customizing steel cones, helping Elizabeth to make scabbards, and helping Giovanni ask for patterns.

At the same time, the two school officials worked hard outside to investigate the case.

Proficient in guns, skilled in swift swords, injured on the chin, and no absent on the day of the assassination, there were not many army officers who met these conditions.

Most army officers only know how to use firearms. They are the ones who command musketeers, not musketeers. And as instructor Nall said, many officers threw away swordsmanship after leaving the military academy because they were almost useless. For example, Warrant Officer Montane, who has never practiced swordsmanship since he got on the ship home, has been relying on his old ways to defeat Major Moritz.

After a hundred years of retreat, even the king and the duke had to wear armor and ride war horses to rush to the front line.

However, with the change of military concepts, the size of the army became larger and larger, and officers became a technical profession. The northern empires clearly had ready-made officers such as military aristocrats, and in recent years they also imitated the establishment of military academies of the Confederate.

Personal courage is no longer the main basis for the commander to evaluate, so only those who truly love swordsmanship and shooting will insist on practicing these things.

Major Moritz, who had been hiding his leisure, finally could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, because Winters' description reminded him of a small group - the Duel Club.

The Duel Club is a small association within the Army. The members are mainly Army officers who like hot and cold weapons fighting skills. They will gather and compete regularly. It is not a secret association, and any interested Army officer can participate.

Moritz believes that it can be checked from the members of the Duel Club, and he is rarely volunteering to take on the task of getting the Duel Club membership list - because the major himself is also a member of the Duel Club.

But after only two days of leisure, he had another errand. The headquarters selected the twenty highest among the trainee officers this year. Winters was told that he was honorably selected as the guard of officers of the Venetta Army this year.

Only then did Winters realize that every year, the army trainees would pick twenty taller ones as so-called "official guards of honor". Simply put, they would dress majestic and then be puppets on various important occasions in the army.

Because if there are any big and small things, they will be called to be a human statue, so no official officer likes to do this job. In the end, he can only choose people from the intern officers and change them every year.

Andre and Winters were not lucky enough to be selected, so they stood stupidly at the dock early in the morning, with dew on their armor on their bodies, and they didn't know who they were here to welcome.

When passing through the artillery fortress outside the Navy Pier, the artillery deck of the incoming ship and the artillery door on the stern of the ship opened one by one, and the black-hole artillery poked out its head.

From the perspective of Winters and Andre, a stream of blue smoke erupted from the hull of the warship, and then thunder came from the sea.

The warship is fired to greet us.

The loading of artillery takes time. The 32-pound short-barrel cannon used to destroy enemy ships at close range even requires sailors to hang outside the hull to load. When a warship enters a port in other countries, it does not load shells and shoots the empty barrel of the gun. It can indicate that one side has no hostility, and it evolves into this special etiquette over time.

The navy's artillery fortress also fired a cannon and returned the gift.

It was not until closer that Winters discovered that the hull of this warship was decorated with oil paint, wood carvings and gold-wrapped craftsmanship.

Luxury decorations do not play any role in actual combat. They are purely to show royal style and majesty, and Winters can't help but despise this flashy imperial style from the bottom of his heart.

Guided by the water diversion ship, the gorgeous and mighty warship slowly put away its sails and leaned onto the navy's dock lightly.

"First gun group! Ignite!"

With a command, the army's artillery was also fired.

Venetta's army and navy have been reluctant to give in to each other for more than twenty years, from the military budget to the chairs in the 13-member committee to trivial matters, there must be a fight for everything that can be fought for.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The cannon salute just now was a greeting from the Navy. With the army present, of course, the Navy cannot be allowed to represent Venetta alone. Therefore, the Army also specially pushed more than a dozen cannons to be used to salute.

Before the people on the boat got off, the two figures hovering in the sky gradually became bigger. The two figures originally looked only as big as seagulls, but in fact they flew too high. When they were really close to the ground, everyone on the dock realized that these were two terrifying monsters.

These two birds looked like eagles, but ordinary eagles would not be that big. The wingspans of these two giant eagles were wider than those of warships, and they seemed to be two dark clouds flying in the air. Two giants rushed down, and the gunners were frightened and fled in all directions, and they could not shout back if the officer shouted.

Two giant eagles landed gracefully on the dock, stretching their wings like a demonstration, making a scream at the surroundings, and scanning the surroundings with cold yellow eyes. Winters observed that the two giant eagles were at least ten meters long and stood taller than a floor. They stood on the dock as if they were two high walls.

Of course, Winters would not escape like a gunner, and the officers' guard of honor remained motionless because they knew what this was. But if they hadn't seen these two giant eagles with their own eyes, Winters wouldn't have believed that there was such a creature in the world.

"[Blurred swear words]" Winters whispered: "The pseudo-emperor actually has such a giant eagle. I thought it was a bragging thing in the history of war."

Andre didn't reply, his legs trembled, and his mouth made uncontrollably thrust his teeth.

This cannot be blamed Andre. The fear brought by this giant beast is too strong, as if the legendary monster tear a hole out of the book and drilled out. Andre was brave enough to run away with the gunner.

"What are you afraid of?" Winters secretly stabbed Andre: "As long as it is a living creature, you must be afraid of cannons. Isn't it just a large turkey? The pseudo-emperor can make such flashy things to scare people."

"I'm not afraid," Andre replied angrily, but that's not what his body language says.

Two people with low figures fell from the eagle's back, which caused a burst of exclamation among the soldiers. The two giant eagle riders were not wearing armor, but only wore black soft leather jackets.

One of them stood in front of the Army Officer's Guard of Honor and the Navy Officer's Guard of Honor and said loudly: "The supreme Emperor Muluo's plenipotent representative, the cabinet's seal minister, and the Earl of Narzia, I salute you all!"

This man is not tall and has an amazing voice, so he can hear clearly at the entire Navy Pier.

"Isn't this just to give us Venetta a warning? Who do you want to scare?" Andre saw it clearly and said dissatisfied.

Winters also snorted coldly: "These mentally retarded people who get married like to do such useless things."

The two of them came to the Navy Pier before dawn and were on standby. Now they were playing like this, and they felt very unhappy. In addition, they stood in the back of the queue, so they started chatting more and more unscrupulously. A group of soldiers wearing black half-body armored and straight swords were first to get off the boat. They stood in an equal distance on the entire trestle and extended to the dry shore.

"Is this the Zhongsi Army of the Oathkeeper?" Winters looked at the black-armored soldiers: "It's not as powerful as the boast? Is it possible to send out the Zhongsi Army to protect it. It seems that the Oathkeeper still attaches great importance to this seal-holding minister."

Zhongsi Army was an army established after the current Emperor Muluo Henry III ascended the throne. As the name suggests, this army specially recruited soldiers from the orphans of fallen soldiers and royal officials in the line of death. It was mainly responsible for garrisoning the palace and protecting Henry III himself. They were the only army that could enter the palace with weapons, and were deeply trusted by those who had oaths and were known as the most elite unit of the empire.

Andrei said sarcastically: "The person who carries the oath himself violated the oath, so he is particularly worried that others will betray him, so he made such a thing. When his father dies, his son will continue to work hard for the person who carries the oath. What is the Zhongsijun? I think it should be called Jusijun."

Those black armored Zhongsijun could not hear Andre's words, but Winters was a little bitter in his mouth. Because in essence, he was also a "Zhongsijun" and belonged to the Zhongsijun of Veneta.

Many military academy students in the Army Officers School, like Winters, are descendants of the fallen officers. As Andrei said: When I die, my son continues to work hard.

Andrey realized his mistake and slapped himself hard through his helmet: "My mouth...X...is really... don't care..."

"What's wrong with this... it's okay." Winters also knew that Andre was just unintentional words, but in the end he smiled and comforted Andre.

The task of the honor guard is very simple, which is to stand on both sides of the same road as the naval officers and guard of honor. The big men all took the carriage and left, and the honor guard was disbanded.
