"Like this indestructible armor, the spirit of the knight remains steadfast. I swear by the unparalleled pride and dignity of the Empire, Annie Eld will never betray you."

"I believe that every soldier has a guardian for whom they would give everything, and that is our belief."

The empire was proud and sacred.

For the sake of the empire's inherent pride and self-confidence, the knights remained loyal to the death.

She spoke earnestly, emphasizing each word.

"Both Annie Eld's body and soul will belong to you."

Body?

soul?!

Lin Yan looked at Annie Xide with some confusion, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

The call added a touch of tenderness.

"gentlemen."

"Ahem... Let's discuss the Northern Expedition first. You should stand up first. I'm not used to this kind of etiquette. Please don't kneel on one knee so often in the future."

"Yes, I will follow your instructions, sir."

Annie Eld stood up.

Lin Yan pointed to the sofa, and the two sat facing each other.

He genuinely wanted to discuss the Northern Expedition with Annie Eld, as this was the only thing that could kill time.

Countdown.

54 minutes and 20 seconds.

54 minutes and 19 seconds.

54 minutes and 18 seconds.

……

"The demons' combat power has recently skyrocketed. Their bodies are more robust, and their strength is immense. Even our bravest warriors may not be able to fight the most powerful demons one-on-one."

"I wonder if you have any good solutions, sir."

Annie Eld's biggest concern was the disparity in strength between the two armies.

This expedition is of extraordinary significance to the Holy Ailan Empire.

It was a decisive battle.

"Future wars will no longer be contests of individual physical strength, but rather contests of troop deployment and war strategy..."

Lin Yan patiently explained.

Military strategy existed in ancient China.

The ten ancient military treatises include Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sun Bin's Art of War, Wu Zi, Six Secret Teachings, Wei Liao Zi, Sima Fa, Tai Bai Yin Jing, Hu Qian Jing, Ji Xiao Xin Shu, and Lian Bing Shi Ji.

He spoke eloquently about the basic principles of war, such as strategic planning, war mobilization, and the situation.

Annie Heid listened intently.

Ultimately, Lin Yan proposed a war mobilization to Annie Xide. Another factor was the power of faith.

Lin Yan believed that a shared faith would motivate soldiers to be more proactive and courageous in the war, and would also facilitate his management and operations.

"Faith is actually a kind of cohesive force."

"Belief……"

Even Annie Cid, who had always relied on pure brute force, was full of admiration for this. She was completely absorbed in Lin Yan's narration.

Lin Yan drew a map.

……

Time passes slowly.

Annie Cid felt as if she were drinking from a sweet spring.

Even more remarkably, Lin Yan discovered an energy within Annie Cid's body, constantly surging within her.

That is the power derived from faith.

This is an even more significant discovery.

It turns out that faith can also influence a person's strength.

[Ding! Check-in countdown: 3 seconds.]

[Ding! Check-in countdown: 2 seconds.]

[Ding! Check-in countdown: 1 seconds.]

……

[Ding! Task 3: Have a one-hour conversation with Queen Annie Eld in her bedchamber! Sign-in task successful.]

[Would you like to perform other check-in tasks?]

[Choose or give up.]

[If you choose this option, you will receive an upgraded reward; if you choose not to, there will be no penalty.]

This time, Lin Yan made his choice without hesitation.

"Alright, Queen Annie Elder, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

Lin Yan smiled slightly and said in a gentlemanly and considerate manner.

Annie Heid seemed to recall the time she had just spent alone, and a blush inevitably rose on her face, giving her a rather feminine charm.

"This is the Queen's bedroom; it would be inappropriate for me to sleep here. I'd better go to a side hall to sleep."

"No, I am your knight, and this treatment is only to be expected."

Faced with Lin Yan's refusal.

Annie Eld's attitude was quite firm.

She will treat Lin Yan with the highest honors, as this concerns the dignity of a nation and her own loyalty.

This is a belief.

In the end, Lin Yan stayed in the palace.

Watching Annie Eld's departing figure, he gained a new understanding of the Northern Expedition. This battle was also crucial for Lin Yan.

……

The next morning.

Lin Yan opened his eyes groggily, but the countdown for the sign-in task was still going on.

59 minutes 30 seconds.

59 minutes 29 seconds.

……

He lay on the spacious imperial couch, lost in thought about last night's dream. He seemed to have dreamt of entering a palace.

Inside this magnificent hall, a wondrous thing happened.

He stared at the magnificent murals all around him, but he couldn't make out their contents.

"Sir, are you awake?"

A somewhat timid voice rang out.

This seemed to be Queen Annie Eld's personal maid; when she walked in, she didn't dare to look Lin Yan in the eye.

Bow down.

Face flushed.

This was her first time serving a man, and she felt somewhat resistant, both physically and mentally.

Yet he volunteered for the task himself.

Hearing of Lin Yan's deeds, the maidservant admired him even more. This was the first time she had been so close to and served a god.

This is the highest honor.

The maid's voice was gentle and melodious.

"I am your maid who has come to help you change and bathe."

puff.

Lin Yan nearly coughed up blood.

This melodramatic plot, which only happens in TV dramas, actually happened.

He glanced at the maid; she wasn't stunningly beautiful. However, she had delicate features and a petite figure that made her quite endearing.

but.

Lin Yan had no interest.

The check-in process isn't over yet.

"I don't need to be served. You can leave."

"Yes, sir."

The maidservant left respectfully, and Lin Yan also got up and walked to the balcony, looking down at the entire royal palace of the Holy Ailan Empire.

But what he was thinking about was that dream.

This may be the key to uncovering the secrets of the hall.

Morgana is the mastermind behind the demon army. He could certainly find Morgana and negotiate with her directly, but the demon Ator is the one leading the charge.

The demon Ator is Morgana's most loyal lackey.

His abilities are considerable.

They are absolutely invincible to the Holy Ailan Empire.

As Lin Yan was pondering, Annie Cid appeared behind him. She wasn't wearing her armor and looked gentle and charming.

"gentlemen."

"Queen."

"Regarding the expedition, there is something I want to discuss with you. That is, we must unravel the secret of that hidden hall before launching the expedition."

"I will follow your instructions, sir."

Annie Xide had no objection to Lin Yan's decision.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the actual power had fallen into Lin Yan's hands.

Countdown.

10 seconds.

9 seconds.

……

3 seconds.

2 seconds.

1 seconds.
