Episode 915: The Imperial March 2 – Assault return, running on the ground. (3)
Even while the European powers were suffering from internal strife, the tour of the city continued smoothly.
To be precise, while the scent was moving smoothly and leisurely, underneath it was moving so much that my feet were sweating.
When Hyang arrived at the port and was unpacking his clothes, Foreign Ministry officials and imperial army officers met with the commander stationed at the port.
“This is His Majesty Tae Sang-tae’s schedule. I would appreciate it if you could let me know about the next port of call.”
“I understand, thank you.”
“Okay then.”
“Good luck.”
The base commander, who saw off the Foreign Ministry officials and officers, looked at the schedule and immediately called his adjutant.
“Copy this and send it to the next port of call right away. “Who was the friend who drove the boat the fastest?”
“I am a captain of Haeung 44.”
“okay? “Send that friend.”
“yes.”
In that way, as soon as the fragrance arrived at the port, the sea emergency front departed for the next port.
Thanks to this continuation, when Hyang arrived at Henrik, an assault ship was waiting to pick him up.
Hyang looked deeply moved when he saw the assault ship floating proudly in front of him.
“We welcome the arrival of His Majesty Tae Sang-tae! “It’s an honor to serve you!”
“Thank you for welcoming me.”
“insect!”
Following the captain’s welcome, all crew members standing on the deck saluted.
After receiving the courtesy, Hyang climbed onto the bridge of the assault ship.
“This ship is the first ship of the second generation, Onslaught, right?”
“That’s right!”
“Were there any problems while passing through the East Sea?”
“There wasn’t one!”
Hyang’s expression became stern at the captain’s answer.
“It would be even stranger if there were none. The reason why ship number 1 is the most important is because it is the first actual wire created. No matter how much craftsmen put thought into making a boat, there is bound to be a flaw somewhere. Of course, we carefully examine and fix those parts before launching and commissioning, but they still keep coming. Of course, even after going through boxes 2 and 3 and reaching the last box, the defect is still visible. Still, we must not ignore the importance of ship number 1.”
“I’m sorry!”
The captain broke into a cold sweat and asked for forgiveness at the reprimand that was not a reprimand from Hyang. He patted the captain’s shoulder with an expression that said the scent was nothing special.
“I’m not asking you to commit a crime. “This is because, as a person who played a part in designing and building this ship, I need to know the problem and fix it.”
“yes! Then I will report! While crossing the East Sea....”
The captain traced his memories and reported the problems discovered during the voyage.
“Hmm hmm... I see.”
Hyang listened to the captain’s story while nodding repeatedly and gave an order as soon as the captain’s story ended.
“You probably recorded all that, right?”
“ancient!”
“Did you send it to Seoul?”
“ancient!”
“Hmm... I guess our paths diverged. “Please make a copy and submit it later.”
“ancient!”
The captain answered loudly, and soon a question came to mind.
‘huh? ‘You could have just told me to submit it as a report later, right?’
* * *
Amid such a small commotion, the incense-burning assault ship left Henrique Port.
The assault return ship, which took its place at the head of a small fleet loaded with officials and supplies, set sail for Livorno.
“insect!”
“insect!”
When the incense was revealed amidst the military salutes of the officers and soldiers guarding the front gate, the ambassadors and thieves froze to frostbite and screamed inwardly.
‘OMG! You really came!’
‘It was good so far!’
As the incense slowly came down while holding on to the railing, the imperial military band began to powerfully play the ‘Imperial March’.
With the marching music loudly ringing in the sky of the military port, Hyang came down the ladder and looked at the ambassadors and thieves who were waiting.
“insect!”
“I come to see His Majesty Tae Sang-tae!”
The ambassadors and priests who made eye contact with the incense shouted at the top of their lungs to show their respect.
“Thank you for your hard work. Just by looking at the reports, I can see how much trouble it must have been. Now, let’s go.”
“I am devastated!”
The ambassadors and priests who responded vigorously to Hyang’s death quickly moved behind Hyang and walked along the carpet path.
“insect!”
“insect!”
“Chuung!”
The incense slowly headed towards the podium in return for the military salutes of the soldiers on the left and right sides of the carpet path.
The people of the Medici family and envoys from the great powers, who sat on chairs and then stood up, became short of breath due to an unknown pressure as they saw the scent approaching.
‘what? What is this pressure?’
‘Is this really majesty?’
‘Are you a person more suited to being a tyrant rather than a wise man?’
‘How can someone who is about to turn 80 have such energy!’
Those on the platform, looking at the slowly approaching scent, were beyond shocked and began to be overcome with fear.
The Hyang that was approaching them was tall and boasted a proud appearance. Even though he was about to turn eighty, his back was straight and he was walking briskly without a cane.
Clothing also played a big role.
On his head, he wore a black cap with black peacock feathers. He wore a black Imperial Army coat and uniform, and black cavalry boots on his feet. A black lacquered wooden holster was attached to the right side of a black belt with a black shoulder strap extending from the right shoulder to the left side. And the pistol grip of the new silver-finished cavalry rifle shined outside the holster.
Lastly, it was Scent wearing a black cloak.
Just walking down the red carpeted street, which was uniformly black from top to bottom, created a strong sense of pressure.
As the scent approached the podium, the guests were able to see the expression on the scent’s face.
It was impossible to see his eyes because his lips were slightly tilted forward, but his lips, which were covered with a short but well-trimmed beard, were smiling with a light but confident smile.
The guests who saw this all shouted the same thing in their hearts.
‘The empire’s current situation is certain of victory!’
And this was an accurate perception.
* * *
Hyang ascended to the podium and spoke to the guests in fluent Latin.
“Nice to meet you. “My name is Lee Hyang, the former emperor of the empire.”
“It’s an honor to meet you.”
“It is an honour.”
After bowing lightly and saying hello, Hyang turned around and looked at the soldiers lined up on the dock.
Looking at the soldiers who had their eyes fixed on him, Hyang walked towards the loudspeaker located in the center.
“Loyal soldiers of our empire! I won’t talk for a long time. We have always won and we will continue to win! Soldiers! Achieve the glory of victory! Long live the Empire!”
The soldiers shouted as loud as they could at the dock of the incense.
“Long live the Empire!”
The ambassadors and priests standing behind immediately understood the meaning of the incense.
‘You’re forcing me to make a choice.’
