My name is Ulysses, and I am a knight of the Guards Knights of the Kingdom of Tiland.
But this is just a superficial identity. My true identity is a member of Tilan Shadow Guard!
The Tilan Shadow Guard is an organization that is completely loyal to His Majesty the King and is completely hidden in the shadows. It is the key to the stability and strength of the Tilan Kingdom!
It is not an accident that I can become the Tilan Shadow Guard, because I have been raised and educated by the Tilan Shadow Guard since I was sensible. It is my destiny to become the Tilan Shadow Guard.
And I am very happy about this!
After years of study and training, I became an official Shadow Guard, and at the same time obtained the superficial status of a Guards Knight. My main job is to ensure that if any bad tendencies arise within the Guards Knights, His Majesty the King will be able to do so for the first time.
Know it instantly!
This task is very boring. I feel that my many years of study and training have no chance to be used. However, I still work hard to complete the tasks assigned to me by my superiors until I receive a more important task!
On that day, I reported as usual: everything is fine with the Guards Knight!
What awaits me this time is not the usual simple response, but a new task.
Great! The important task I have been waiting for for many years is finally here!
I was looking forward to it, and couldn't wait to get the mission content and related information that had been placed in a secret place in advance based on the password I had mastered, and then I couldn't wait to rush home.
During this period, I had to find reasons to decline the invitations from my colleagues in the Knights of the Guards, as well as the warm greetings from my neighbors. After taking precautions, I entered the secret room and opened the information that had been enchanted and protected.
After reading the mission content first, I found that this mission did not seem too difficult. I just used my identity as a Knight of the Guards to join the mission led by the Earl of Sutton-Stewart.
Of course I know Earl Sutton-Stewart. He is a very famous figure in the capital. It is said that the beautiful women he has slept with can be lined up from the capital of Tilan to the coast of the Soduruma Empire. It is really a person.
Envious guy.
However, as the younger brother of Her Royal Highness the Queen, Earl Stewart will not have any trouble finding him as long as he does not do anything harmful to the Tiland Kingdom and just sleeps with ordinary women.
My mission is not to investigate this Earl, but to follow the mission to Winter City in the northern plains and conduct a detailed investigation of all intelligence information about Winter City.
Winterfell, Baron Glamorgan...oh, now he's an earl!
That was a super lucky guy, and some even called him the luckiest man since the birth of the Tilan Kingdom.
Now, this lucky Earl has won the favor of the goddess of luck again, and His Majesty the King is actually planning to marry the beautiful Princess Sophia to that guy.
Damn it! It’s so jealous!
For a moment, I really wished I was the Earl of Glamorgan! But I'd better look at other information first!
Along with the mission requirements, I received information collected through various channels by the Kingdom and the Tilan Shadow Guards. These information are intended to give me a basic understanding of Winter City.
Having received relevant training, I know very well that when this information is handed over to me, there is another task: verification!
Is the actual situation in Winter City as recorded in the data? How accurate is it? What are the differences? How big is the gap? I need to investigate this all!
It seems to be a very challenging task, and I am starting to look forward to it...
Joining the mission is not a hassle for me. My superiors have already made the corresponding preparations for me. I don't need to be special in the mission. I just need to complete the work of the Guards Knight step by step.
——Serve as a guard beside the princess or the earl.
There was nothing to worry about along the way, but as we got closer to the northern plains, the weather was getting colder and colder. Even if we were wearing heavy shirts and cloaks, the knife-like cold wind was still uncomfortable...
…I also want the kind of warm accessories worn by Her Highness the Princess...
We’ve arrived at the northern plains. What the hell is this place? The wind here is even more unbearable than before.
In addition to being cut by a knife, the wind seemed to penetrate from all directions. Even though I had plugged all the gaps in the armor with cotton cloth, I still felt the wind blowing into the armor...
Is this Snowfield Castle? It’s such a simple fortress. The orcs can’t even defeat such a fortress, so it doesn’t seem worthy of too much attention...
I was wrong! The inside of Snowfield Castle is so beautiful? So clean? I feel that the main road in Snowfield Castle is cleaner than Tiran's palace. Could it be that the Earl of Glamorgan specially had it cleaned to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess? Those Winter Knights in heavy armor, and those huge metal puppets, the Winter Knights, a force that was thought to be just a joke, seems not to be as everyone imagined, just a product of the country lords' self-entertainment...
…
No matter what, the house in Snowfield Castle is very warm. It is said that it is because of the installation of heating. I feel as if I have come to life again. It is so comfortable here. I have rarely had a good sleep since joining the mission...
This kind of vehicle called a truck is not very comfortable to sit on, but it runs really fast.
Looking at the other guards knights in the car, everyone was amazed at the speed of this car. Everyone felt that if soldiers could take this kind of vehicle when going on an expedition, they could reach the battlefield faster and more easily, and they could stay
More strength to deal with the enemy.
I also expressed my agreement, and at the same time realized that Winter City can control a wider area of land with fewer troops if it has this kind of vehicle...
Arriving at Winter City, I finally saw the so-called Winter City.
Recall the records seen in the data: Winter Town is just a small town still under construction, with imperfect infrastructure and only a few wooden houses. Although Baron Glamorgan is building his own town, within a few years, Winter Town
Winter Town is difficult to really build.
After looking at this city with countless beautiful houses in front of me, I think the Shadow Guard responsible for investigating Winter City should be fired!
Could it be that all the beautiful houses in front of you were built this year? There are not so many craftsmen in Winter City who can complete such a large project in such a short time!
Just when I was thinking about how to report my colleagues' dereliction of duty, the team had already arrived at the accommodation arranged for us by Winter City.
Winter Hotel?
It sounds like a very clichéd name, but the environment here is very good. The Earl of Glamorgan in Winterfell even arranged comfortable rooms for all the entourage including me.
Even an ordinary guard knight like me only lives in a double room with another guard knight, instead of a lot of people crowded into a barracks - to be honest, if the barracks in Winter City and the barracks in Snowfield Castle
With a similar environment, I thought living in a barracks would be a good treatment, but I didn’t expect to receive such good treatment.
The Earl of Glamorgan is really a generous and friendly lord, and only such an outstanding lord is worthy of marrying Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia!
After sitting on the comfortable bed for a while, it was the first time for me to sit on such a comfortable bed, and my whole body seemed to sink into it.
After sitting quietly for a while, I got up and looked at the "bathroom".
When the waiter introduced me to the use of these things and how to use them before, it was a bit hard for me to accept that the toilet was actually in the room, but now...
Kick Mike out. This guy has been in the bathroom for a long time, and he doesn’t know what to see here?
After solving some necessary problems, I quietly observed for a while that the filth was really washed away by the water, and no smell came out.
What a magical facility, and that wash basin, where does all this water come from?
There is also that shiny thing called "electric light", which is really convenient. I wonder if I can buy some electric lights and install them in the secret room?
After a good night's rest, the comfortable bed made me reluctant to get up, but there was still a lot of work to do today, so I still sat up with my strong will.
I glanced at the bed next to me, and I saw that Mike was also awake, lying there with his eyes wide open, showing no intention of getting up.
None.
Tsk! What an embarrassment to the Guards Knight!
After getting up and washing up, I have to say that the bathroom is really convenient. I can solve all kinds of problems without even leaving the door.
And those dirty things have also been cleaned up. I don’t know where they were “sent”? Is it underground? Isn’t it full of them? Maybe someone specializes in cleaning these things?
After tidying up my equipment and appearance, I pulled Mike up from the bed. I rode my well-rested horse and followed closely behind the car carrying Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Earl. I carefully looked at everything in Winter City.<
/p>
Winter City is really clean!
Even though I have arrived near the farmland where civilians live, I have not seen garbage, let alone roads full of mud. I found that even some inconspicuous small alleys are paved with beautiful stone pavements.
This is simply unbelievable. Even if Winter City is just a small town, laying stone pavements throughout the town is not a small project, not to mention that the actual area of Winter City is not small.
Especially those main roads, they are so wide and scary!
Keep all these in mind and continue to "visit" Winter City with the team.
Because I was right next to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I was lucky enough to hear a lot of information, including how much farmland Winter City currently has and how much food these farmlands can produce every year.
What is the role of garbage and wastewater treatment plants? What is the tap water system? What is the power plant used for?
These introductions have solved my doubts, and there seems to be more and more things to report!
I also learned that Winter City is so clean because of the request of the lord, Earl of Glamorgan. The lord even formed a security team to catch those residents who litter and defecate in the open.
It's really an exaggeration. Those guys who were arrested were so unlucky to meet a lord with mysophobia.
After visiting the Winter Military Camp, I realized that living in Iron Tree Fort was the worst!
