Chapter 608 The most dangerous mission is entrusted to you
“When did you come?”
“You came here just after getting off the boat.”
“You are tired too, be well. Rest."
"Well, I'll take a shower first."
"You go on your own first. The more I go, the more tired I will be."
"I hate..."
Frederick asked Lilu to rest first while he continued to think about Grand Duke Suarez. matter.
He suddenly thought of something and called the housekeeper to give him instructions: "No meat from animals in the water will appear in dinner tonight."
Most of the meat on the seaside is seafood, but all fish on the sea are eaten. If you get tired of it, you naturally have to change your taste.
During this period of time, Lilu had been transporting important equipment with the fleet and had not been able to take a good rest.
At dinner, the butler prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Considering that the people of the Rhine League liked to eat sausages, the housekeeper cut fresh sausages into thick slices and fried them in olive oil, then added cider to stew them to reduce the juice.
The main course is also a stew made with beef, ham, tomatoes, onions, sausages, garlic, peas, white wine, pepper, paprika and broth.
It is apple harvest season. Apples can be mixed with cheese, walnuts, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, chives, and salt to make a salad.
In addition, there are serious southern mushrooms, which are fried with olive oil and garlic, add a little white wine, and eat them with slices of bread dipped in the sauce. They taste great.
While Frederick and Lilu were enjoying a delicious meal, a lively banquet was being held at St. George Fortress.
After the main force of the Western Front Corps entered the St. George Fortress, it spent three days reorganizing the barracks. The next five days spent overhauling machinery, installing water systems, arranging hospitals, and assembling a flour mill and bread biscuits. factory.
Frederick had a lot of money, but not everything had to be transported from the country. What was available locally was purchased locally.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Eugene had lived in the Principality of Wesson for several years and was used to eating bread made of fine flour. It would be uncomfortable to eat bread made of coarse flour.
He came here for a field trip last year, so these two factories were added to the logistics department.
Now that the camp was finally built, the whole army had a big meal to celebrate, and a lot of the pigs and sheep around them were cleared out.
Each company of the 32nd Regiment was assigned three pigs. While other companies were thinking about how to kill them, Metzger had already rolled up his sleeves and returned to his old business.
While the company next door was still debating whether to use a pistol or a rifle to kill pigs, Metzger directed the soldiers to get tools and boil water in a large pot.
While the magicians of the Mage Company were using stone wall magic and mire magic to chase and intercept the escaped pig, Metzger had already bled the pig and started to disembowel it.
When the aroma of meat wafted from Metzger's grill, the magicians of the Mage Company decided to use high-temperature hot springs to soak the pigs, and then used high-pressure water jets to wash away the pig hair. Many companies simply Light a fire and burn the pig hair directly.
“I knew you could get it done here the fastest.” Eugene came over with a barrel of wine, “I can exchange the wine sent by Archduke Suarez for the barbecue.”
Metzger was eating barbecue with veterans he knew well. When he saw his division commander coming with wine, he cut into the roasted pork and replied, "It will definitely be okay if there is an extra barrel."
You Jin smiled and said: "You think beautifully."
The roast was cut quickly, and Eugene carefully ate while chatting.
Eugene said to Metzger: "I want to discuss something with you."
Metzger swallowed the roast and said immediately: "You are talking about Liaison Officer Medello It’s about the lady. She can tell it with the look in your eyes. She definitely wants to drag you back to the boudoir to be affectionate.”
“I’m going to tell you today as a friend, you. You are not young, and Miss Medello is a good match for you in terms of family, appearance, and personality, so just accept it."
"I dare say that they have already sent someone to propose marriage to your father. "Eugene had a black line on his face. He wanted to tell him about the layout of the defense zone, but the pig-butcher leaned to the side.
Medello is proficient in many foreign languages. She served as a translator when Eugene came last year, and she had a vague sense of what he meant.
This time, Archduke Suarez appointed Medello as the liaison officer between the Wesson Army and the local area. There will be many opportunities for the two to come into contact in the future.
Krom next to him immediately said: "Commander, it's meal time. Metzger has said so, so just obey."
Krom and other veterans all He believed Metzger's words, but Eugene came late and didn't quite believe it.
Eugene shook his head and said: "The marriage between our families is not just a matter of two people."
"You also know that my father is at war with Archduke Suarez, so our matter is impossible."
Metzger chewed the barbecue and said, "Don't worry, Prince Moritz will definitely agree."
"My son will definitely be anxious if he doesn't get married at your age. No, if there is such a good thing now, you will definitely not miss it.”
Eugene shook his head and said, “You don’t understand yet, you will know later.”
At this moment, an officer on duty came to Eugene: "Commander, someone is looking for you and says he is your father's messenger."
Eugene's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Bring him here."< br>
The visitor was an old knight from his family. He was exhausted from running all the way and handed a letter to Eugene.
Eugene read it by the light of the fire, and then gave Metzger a hard look.
Metzger smiled and asked: "Am I right?"
Eugene put away the letter and asked the officer on duty to arrange the old knight's board and lodging.
He said to Metzger with a dark face: "Don't mind my business."
"Let's get down to business."
"Archduke Suarez's army is on the mountain road. There is a special bunker in the group of bunkers on the opposite side. It is the most forward and serves as an early warning post to observe the movements of the Kingdom of Madeira’s army.”
“That place is the nail that the Kingdom of Madeira wants to remove the most at the moment. A dangerous place.”
"I want you to take your company and some of the reinforced firepower there to change defenses first to avoid any accidents."
"This mission is very important and dangerous. You must be mentally prepared."
“Based on my understanding of the Kingdom of Gaul, they must have colluded with the pagans and took advantage of the chaos of the defense change to cause trouble.”
Metzger immediately said: “Promise to complete the mission and defend the defense. A good bunker, providing cover for defense changes."
Then Crom also said: "Don't worry, division commander, our company commander is the emperor's killer. He has never seen any big scenes. Even if their king personally marches, he will not be afraid. Get rid of it.”
"Isn't that right, company commander?"
Metzger is naturally bragging as much as he wants. Otherwise, what if the division commander thinks you are afraid and gives the task to other companies?
The credit in the army is up for grabs. If you can’t grab it, you can only watch others eat the meat and drink the soup yourself.
So Metzger said: "Commander, this task will be given to us. If their king comes, I will let him never come back!"
The veterans next to him also expressed their opinions. It will definitely get the job done.
Seeing that their morale was high, Eugene said: "Okay, the command will be issued tomorrow."
