Eagle’s Glory

oath

After receiving the invitation from Greece, Aigron and everyone else's last doubts have been eliminated.

There is nothing to hesitate anymore, there is only one road left, and from now on, we can only move forward without fear or hesitation.

Go!

It was because of the excitement of the crowd that after only two days, everyone had already packed their bags, waiting for their monarch to give an order to go to the bloodbath that called them.

At this early morning, under the orders of the officers, all the soldiers gathered at the seaside and waited to board the ship.

They quietly surrounded the trestle, forming several square formations according to the already skilled queues, and at first glance it seemed like a black forest covered the rocks.

On the side of the trestle, several sailboats disguised as merchant ships have been moored there, and they will be taken on the journey next.

At this time, Aegron was in the hall of the ruins of the monastery on the island, marching with his knights.

At this time, the atmosphere was both exciting and solemn, and everyone looked at the young man with bated breath, waiting for his last words.

On the table next to it, there were dozens of glass cups, all of which were filled with wine at this time, and the scarlet wine was refracted to the ground, as if the ground was covered with blood.

This is a harbinger of the future!

Aegron's heart was surging, and his eyes wandered around, passing over everyone's faces.

He clearly remembered that not long ago, he asked the Marquis of Treville to call these young supporters of the Bonaparte family with vigor and ideals to this island, and he personally sent them all as his own maple Knights of the Knights of Danbero.

He put the sword on everyone's shoulders, and remembered almost everyone's faces.

And now, he will take them on an adventure.

There is no doubt that even if all goes well, some of them are destined to never see the day when the empire is restored.

But instead of uttering a single complaint, they were all eager to try, and they must follow them and dedicate their blood, sweat and even their lives to their cause.

He has always been an inhumane person, but the loyalty they showed really moved him.

No matter how much self-interest mingled in their loyalty, Aegron felt he had to repay them.

"Everyone, I don't think I need to stress it out. You should also know what we will face next." After being silent for a long time, Aigron finally suppressed his inner thoughts and spoke slowly under everyone's gaze. "Under my orders, you will fight for the liberation of a weak and enslaved people, and you will have little to gain, except for the honor of allegiance to me, only the admiration of Christians . Is that enough for you?"

"Enough!" His words had just finished, and the members of the Knights, led by Duke Michel Ney of Erchingen, answered almost without thinking, "Your Majesty, this is all we are after!"

"Okay, I believe you are telling the truth, we all like adventures, that's why we meet in this place." Aegron nodded lightly, "Between honor and cowardice, we have made a choice, then Next, we will remain committed until we reach the climax of that brilliance... Can you persevere to the end?!"

"Persevere to the end!" Everyone roared loudly and uniformly, giving the only answer.

Aigron listened to their shouts quietly, feeling the slight trembling in the air, and he knew that at least at this moment, they were all sincere.

As for how many people can persevere in the face of real challenges, it will be proved by facts.

Aigron sighed softly, then raised his right hand and made a gesture to silence everyone.

"It is true that you are following me on adventures, and you will inevitably face danger to your life, and I believe that your loyalty makes you not afraid of death, but even so, I still hope that you can do your best to save your own lives." Then, Iger Long said to them in the most sincere tone, "When I was trapped in a corner, you followed me without any regrets. For me, this loyalty is also a kind of kindness. If you lose any of you, come to me. It is an unbearable blow... So, for the future revival of the empire, I need you to continue to live and follow me. I also hope that you will give me the opportunity to repay you. Please take care of everyone and fight for me. , and live for me."

These affectionate words made the originally impassioned people suddenly calm down, and no one spoke anymore.

"I will, Your Majesty." Andre Davout, who was beside him, replied suddenly, "I will do my best to fight for you and follow you for the rest of my life!"

Under his leadership, others have made similar vows to him.

"Okay, what should be said has been said, let's toast." Aigron picked up a glass of wine from the table, and then motioned to everyone present, "Come on, celebrate we broke out of the cocoon and left this original place. , to a glorious distance! For victory!"

"For victory!" In the cheers in unison, everyone picked up the wine glasses from the side.

Aigron didn't care about his etiquette, he drank the glass of wine in one go, then raised his hand, and threw the empty glass to the ground.

"Bang!" In the clear whine, the glass was shattered.

And under his demonstration, the others also threw the empty wine glasses directly to the ground.

One after another sounded throughout the hall, and finally calmed down again. All the cups had been shattered and turned into glass **** scattered on the ground.

"Let's go!" Aigron shouted, and then strode out of the hall.

The wine he drank in one breath was churning in his stomach at this time, and the alcohol spread with the blood vessels, as if injecting energy into his limbs.

Everyone followed him, and they followed the path all the way to the sea.

He raised his head and glanced back at the deepest buildings in Monte Cristo Island.

Although this small island was barren and barren, after staying for a few months, he was reluctant to part when he said goodbye.

It has witnessed him starting from nothing, possessing a treasure that has been buried for centuries; it has also witnessed him attracting a group of supporters, establishing his own knighthood, and then relying on them to build his original military force.

There is no doubt that this power is still extremely weak, and it is difficult to match the military power of even a small country on the European continent, but this is a cluster of fire. Burn everything that stands in its way.

His most valuable asset is not a gun, but the surname Bonaparte, and what it stands for, there are countless people on a continent now overwhelmed by the Holy Alliance and extreme conservatism In the memory of this surname and the glorious era that just passed away with ideals in mind.

I couldn't have made it all the way to Paris with the army, but I could have graced the surname and finally got the French to cheer me on and welcome me into Paris.

Aigron said to himself in his heart.

This is the path he has chosen for himself, and it is the only path he can take now - fortunately, there are so many people who are willing to accompany him on this road, and so many people who are willing to entrust their dreams to him on the body.

So, what else is scary?

Aigron turned around, looked at the soldiers standing in front of him, and walked in front of them step by step.

This was the last time he inspected his army on the island. Although their number was only a few hundred at this time, it was enough for him to place his expectations.

They are seeds, and as long as they are properly cultivated by wind and rain, they will take root and sprout, and eventually expand into a huge force.

Aegron believed that as long as he stood firm there, made merits and laid a banner, those who had dreams and were willing to place their dreams on the Bonaparte family would eventually come to him and become his subordinates. a part.

I will eventually have it all...

Aegron looked at the young soldier in front of him. At this time, he was holding his head high, looking at him nervously, for fear of showing a little timidity.

Then, he showed a friendly smile to the other party, and then he reached out and patted the unknown soldier lightly, and whispered something.

"Work hard, man, I'm all on you."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The soldier who was so excited by this honor immediately stood at attention and replied loudly to him.

Aegron turned around, waved to everyone, and shouted the last sentence.

"Long Live the Empire!"

"Long Live the Empire!"

His words were immediately greeted with cheers like a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis.

And that means the beginning of everything.

Aigron said nothing more, and amid the cheers, he walked along the ladder to the sailboat that was already waiting for him.

And Teresa, who had been waiting on the deck for a long time, immediately greeted him.

"His Royal Highness..." Teresa may also be infected by the atmosphere at this time, her voice is also trembling, and she looks at the young man with excitement.

The heroic young man in black military uniform and double-horned hat in front of him met almost all her expectations in her dream.

"You look so handsome now!" she couldn't help saying.

"And you, you are cute at all times, Teresa." Agron stepped forward, then hugged his fiancée gently, "I'm glad that you are willing to share my adversity and accompany me on the journey. , but...you must take care of yourself."

"I'm fine, Your Highness, don't worry about me." Teresa shook her head with a smile, "When I think of being able to achieve extraordinary things with you, when I think of being able to share weal and woe with you and go through all the glory and disgrace, I'm almost happy. Tears are falling... This excitement and joy is the cure for me, I'm much better. Don't worry, I will never be a drag on you, on the contrary... I will try my best to help you, whether it's with me The mind still uses my will."

Teresa's words are not stubborn. Ever since Aegron agreed to her request, her mental state has remained very good. The cold that had lasted for a long time has finally improved. It also made Aegron feel relieved a lot.

"Then it's up to you, Teresa," Agron said in her ear as he hugged her. "I... I'm also very happy to have you by my side. Looking back on what I've been through this year, I think maybe it's because of your unreserved support that I was able to do all this."

"We can do more..." Teresa replied with a smile.

She raised her head and looked out at the ocean in the distance.

The sea was calm at this time, and the sky was blue as wash. Such an open and magnificent scene seemed to herald the career they would accomplish in the future.

Next, the two of them will be together, in the same boat, full of hope, ambition, and the treasures he has found on the island of Monte Cristo, towards that far country.

In Teresa's view, this is romantic enough, isn't it all she expects?

And, that's fulfilling Byron's unfinished legacy...and saving the birthplace of Western civilization.

As long as she thinks of this, Teresa can't help but feel a surge of emotions—among the princes and grandchildren she has known and seen in her life, only His Royal Highness would think and do such things.

What's more, he and His Royal Highness will also enter the palace of marriage there, and officially combine their names with their destiny...

Her face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't imagine it any longer.

She has got everything in her dream, and she knows that there may be many difficulties and obstacles in the future, but all these are just seasonings to make her happiness a little more delicious, she is not afraid, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

"His Royal Highness, I am so happy to be with you," she whispered. "Even if the ends of the earth, I will go with you, and I have no regrets."

Such an affectionate confession made Aegron's heart sprouted.

The girl in front of her, who loves herself so much, really makes people feel like a husband can't ask for anything more.

"Then let's go now!" he answered loudly.

Then he made a gesture.

As if he had received an order, a cannon sounded from the sailboat.

Then, the anchor was slowly pulled up from the bottom of the sea through the winch, and the sailboat itself began to move slowly.

Soon, the other ships followed suit, and it didn't take long for the east wind to blow the sails full.

In a slight sway, the sailboat gradually left the coast and headed into the distance. Aigron stood on the bow and watched the small island of Monte Cristo getting further and further away from him.

Everything went so smoothly, as if the gods of heaven were encouraging them to bless them.

Yes, I will be blessed, he said to himself in his heart.
