Chapter 600: About to Enter the Battlefield
Recently, the zoo in Weissenburg has become a dating destination for young people because of a novel about an illicit love between an adult son and his young stepmother. As long as you invite the other person here alone, they will know what it means.

When Zopel and Hannah first walked into the zoo, their faces turned slightly red and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Let's go to the exhibition hall!" said Zopel. "I saw in the newspaper that there is a butterfly exhibition there."

The zoo's exhibition hall was built not long ago. It is five stories high and the entire building is in the shape of a "┻". There are exhibition halls on the left and right sides and a warehouse at the back. The fossil of a Cyclops elephant stands in the foyer behind the gate.

There are many animal specimens from all over the world. Today, the exhibition hall on the left side of the first floor is dedicated to displaying various butterflies from the southern forests.

The exhibition introduction board stated that a total of 400 different species of butterflies were on display, which is far less than half of the butterfly species in the forest.

"So many?!" Zopel was a little surprised, "I have only seen less than ten species of butterflies."

Hannah said, "I heard that the hotter it is in the south, the more butterflies there are."

Zopel pinched his chin and said, "I wonder if I'll have a chance to catch a butterfly like this if I go south."

Placed at the very beginning is a blue crystal butterfly, one of whose wings is as big as an adult's palm, and the scales on it sparkle like crystal.

Hannah shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's poisonous."

The label under the specimen says that the scales of this butterfly are poisonous and can cause skin ulcers.

Hannah continued, “I heard from people at Weisenberg University who have been to the South that the bugs there are the most dangerous.”

"So, when you go there, no matter what kind of bug it is, it's best to stay away from it."

The public statement within the army now is that they are going to go to the south to regain ground for Frederick, and the plan is to be completely closed half a month before departure before officially issuing the order.

However, some people have discovered clues from the foreign languages ​​they learned while studying, but they just don't say it out loud.

Zopel kept nodding.

The two looked at the butterflies in the exhibition hall, and then went to the second-floor exhibition hall to see the fish exhibition. When they walked out of the exhibition hall and went down the stairs, Hannah accidentally slipped and Zopel quickly grabbed her hand.

For innocent young men and women, the hardest part of holding hands is creating it from scratch.

Once you have a start, it's easy to continue.

By the time the two men arrived at the animal area to see the 20-kilogram rat, their hands were sticky as if they were covered with glue.

That morning, Zopel ended his date and drove back to the barracks to cancel his leave with the company commander.

Metzger was stunned when he saw him, then asked with a straight face: "Why are you back?"

Many people in the company bet on washing socks, and he bet that Zopel would not come back tonight.

Seeing that the captain was angry, Zopel answered cautiously: "Captain, her sister's home is in Weissenberg, her brother-in-law is Sir Tony, the captain of the commander's guard company, and her adoptive father is Baron Manuel, the vice-president of Weissenberg University."

"When I was sending her home, I encountered a dinner party at her house."

Metzger raised his eyebrows. Wow, he didn't expect this girl to have a prominent background.

He asked again: "Did you stay for dinner?"

Zopel nodded with a red face.

Metzger said: "You succeeded by not getting killed."

Zopel added: "Sir Tony asked me to bring you his warmest regards."

Metzger just smiled and said, "You can go back. Today, the headquarters issued an order to start mountain training in the second half of the month, which will end in mid-May and we will set off in June." Zopel discovered the problem and asked tentatively, "Captain, there are no mountains in the forest to the south, right?"

Metzger said nothing and waved him off.

Although some people have guessed some things, they cannot be said clearly before the official order comes down.

When Zopel returned to the dormitory, he was immediately pushed down on a chair by his classmates and asked about what he had done that day.

After he finished speaking, squad leader Krom shook his head and said, "You are not honest."

Zopel struggled to ask: "What's wrong with me?"

Krom sneered and waved his hand, and Zikel immediately brought the dressing mirror over.

When Zopel saw himself in the mirror, he was immediately stunned because there was a bright red lip mark on the right side of his cheek.

He understood why the company commander was stunned for a moment and then his face turned sour, because he was afraid of laughing out loud.

So a new round of interrogation began.

In the following days, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

During these days, the priests preached every three to five days and talked with the soldiers from time to time.

Even during field training, large-scale worship ceremonies were held every Sunday.

After Frederick returned to Weissenburg, an order came from the High Command that the 3rd Division, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, the 2nd Magic Regiment and the Air Force Experimental Brigade would go to the Kingdom of Tarago together to participate in the battle against the pagans.

In the current religious atmosphere, fighting infidels is as natural as eating and breathing.

Those who made contributions in fighting against pagans could not only receive rewards from the secular government, but also religious rewards.

When the war broke out in the north, many officers and soldiers of the 3rd Division speculated whether it would go to the north. Later, the 1st Division also started to move, and some officers and soldiers of the 3rd Division believed that two divisions would be sent up at that time.

Now the military order has come down, the 1st Division goes to the north and the 3rd Division goes to the west.

In early June, the entire army took a ship to Ferdinand City in the Osmaga Empire, and then took a train to Ferdinand Port to join the new army of the Osmaga Empire.

After boarding the ship at Ferdinand Port, the entire army first sailed for more than 1,200 kilometers to reach Citrus Island. After resting, they sailed nearly 2,000 kilometers west to rest in a fortress on the south bank of the Sea Gate in the Inland Sea. Finally, they took another 200 to 300 kilometers by ship to reach the port city of Lacobriga, southwest of the Kingdom of Tarragona.

The journey was very exhausting for the entire army, especially someone like Zopel who was severely seasick. At first, he thought he would die on the road.

Fortunately, a large amount of seasickness medicine was prepared on Citrus Island. In addition to anti-nausea, the medicine also had a sleeping effect. They completed most of the sea route while sleeping and eating.

When Zopel and others set foot in the city of Lacobriga, they felt that everything around them was new and strange.

There are a lot of gray-yellow cliffs on the coast here. The stones used for the houses in the city are also gray-yellow, and the roofs are all black, which is completely different from the style of the Rhine Alliance.

We also discovered that people here wear a lot of red on their clothes. Women's dresses and headscarves are mostly red, while men often wear a palm-wide red belt and love to wear cloaks.

Archduke Suarez prepared a camp for the reinforcements.

As soon as Wei Sen's troops entered the barracks, the commander of the 3rd Division, Eugene, immediately ordered the entire army to enter a level one combat readiness state.

The whole military camp suddenly became tense, and the merchants who came outside to invite the officers to drink and have fun were stunned.
