Chapter 608 The most dangerous mission is entrusted to you
"When did you come?"

"I came here just after I got off the boat."

"You are tired too, take a good rest."

"Well, I'm going to take a shower first."

"You go by yourself first. If I go, I'll get more tired the more I wash."

"Hate……"

Frederick asked Lulu to rest first while he continued to think about the matter of Archduke Suarez.

He suddenly thought of something and called the butler to order: "Don't let any aquatic animals appear in the dinner tonight."

Most of the meat at the seaside is seafood, but after sailing on the sea, people get tired of eating fish, so naturally they have to change their taste.

During this period of time, Lilu has been leading the fleet to transport important equipment and has not had a good rest.

At dinner time, the butler prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Taking into account that people in the Rhine Confederation liked to eat sausages, the butler cut fresh sausages into thick slices, fried them in olive oil, and then added cider to stew them until the juice was reduced.

The main course also includes a stew made from beef, ham, tomatoes, onions, sausage, garlic, peas, white wine, pepper, paprika and broth.

Apples are in season now and can be mixed with cheese, walnuts, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, chives, and salt to make a salad.

There are also genuine southern mushrooms, sautéed in olive oil and garlic, with a little white wine added, and eaten with bread slices dipped in the sauce. It tastes great.

While Frederick and Lulu were enjoying their delicious meal, a lively banquet was being held at St. George Fortress.

After the main force of the Western Front Corps entered Fort St. George, it took three days to reorganize the barracks, and the next five days to repair machinery, install a water system, arrange a hospital, and assemble a flour mill and a bread and biscuit factory.

Frederick had a lot of money, but not everything had to be shipped from the country. If something was available locally, he would purchase it locally.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Eugene had lived in the Duchy of Wesson for several years and was used to eating bread made from fine flour. He felt uncomfortable eating things made from coarse flour.

He visited here last year and added these two factories to the logistics department.

Now that the camp was finally built, the whole army had a big meal to celebrate, and many of the surrounding pigs and sheep were cleared out at once.

Each company of the 32nd Regiment was given three pigs. While other companies were considering how to kill them, Metzger had already rolled up his sleeves and returned to his old job.

While the company next door was still debating whether to use a pistol or a rifle to kill the pig, Metzger directed the soldiers to get the tools and boil water in a large pot.

While the wizards of the Mage Company were using stone wall and quagmire spells to chase and intercept the escaped pig, Metzger had already bled the pig and began to gut it.

When the aroma of meat wafted from Metzger's grill, the magicians of the Mage Company decided to soak the pigs in high-temperature hot springs and then use high-pressure water jets to wash away the pig hair. Many companies simply lit a fire to burn the pig hair directly.

"I knew you'd be the fastest." Eugene came over with a barrel of wine, "Is it okay for me to exchange the wine Archduke Suarez sent for barbecue?"

Metzger was eating barbecue with the veterans he knew well. When he saw the division commander coming with some wine, he cut the roast pork and said, "One more barrel would be fine."

Eugene smiled and said, "You wish."

The barbecue was cut quickly, and Eugene ate carefully while chatting.

Eugene said to Metzger, "I want to discuss something with you."

Metzger swallowed the barbecue and immediately said, "You are talking about the liaison officer Miss Medello. The look in her eyes can tell that she wants to drag you back to the boudoir to make love with you."

"I'm telling you today as a friend. You're not young anymore. Miss Medello is a good match for you in terms of family, appearance, and personality. Just give in."

"I dare say they have already sent someone to propose marriage to your father." Eugene was speechless. He wanted to talk to him about the deployment of the defense zone, but the butcher diverted the discussion.

Medelo is fluent in several foreign languages. She served as an interpreter when Eugene came last year and vaguely understood what he meant.

This time, Archduke Suarez appointed Medelo as the liaison officer between the Wesson Army and the local area, and the two will have many opportunities to come into contact in the future.

Crome next to him immediately said, "Commander, it's time for dinner now. Metzger has said so, so just obey him."

Old soldiers like Crome all believed what Metzger said, but Eugene came late and didn't quite believe it.

Eugene shook his head and said, "Marriage between our families is not just a matter of two people."

"As you know, my father is at war with Archduke Suarez, so our business is impossible."

Metzger chewed the roast meat and said, "Don't worry, Prince Moritz will definitely agree."

"If my son was your age and didn't get married, he would be extremely anxious. Now that there is such a good opportunity, he will definitely not miss it."

Eugene shook his head and said, "You don't understand yet, but you will know later."

At this moment, an officer on duty came to Eugene and said, "Commander, someone is looking for you. He said it's your father's messenger."

Eugene's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Bring him here."

The visitor was his old knight, who was exhausted from running all the way and handed a letter to Eugene.

Eugene read it by the light of the fire, then glared at Metzger.

Metzger smiled and asked, "Am I right?"

Eugene put away the letter and asked the officer on duty to arrange food and lodging for the old knight.

He said to Metzger with a dark face: "Don't mind my business."

"Let's get down to business."

"There is a special bunker in the bunker complex opposite the mountain road of Archduke Suarez's army. It is the most forward and serves as an early warning post to observe the movements of the Madeira Kingdom's army."

"That place is the nail that the Kingdom of Madeira wants to pull out the most. It is the most dangerous place at the moment."

"I want you to take your company and some of the reinforced firepower to go there first to relieve the guard, so as 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 during the change of guard to cause trouble."

Metzger immediately said: "Make sure to complete the mission, guard the bunker, and provide cover for the rotation!"

Then Krom also said: "Don't worry, Commander. Our company commander is the emperor killer. He has seen all kinds of big scenes. Even if their king leads the army in person, we are not afraid. Kill him."

"Isn't that right, Captain?"

Metzger could of course brag as much as he could at this time, otherwise what would happen if the division commander thought he was afraid and gave the task to other companies?

In the army, you have to fight for merit. If you can't get it, you can only watch others eat meat while you drink soup.

So Metzger said, "Captain, give us this mission. If their king comes, I will make sure he never returns!"

The veterans nearby also expressed that they would definitely be able to complete the task.

Seeing that their morale was high, Eugene said, "Okay, the commander will give the order tomorrow."
