The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Chapter 3: Scout Alfonso in action

When Alfonso arrived at the gate of the palace, a large crowd had already gathered here. The queen and his two younger sisters were there, just waiting for him.

He stepped forward quickly, looked around, and asked: "Mom, I haven't seen your Majesty the Prince, has he not come yet?"

Isabella showed disgust when she heard the words: "Let's talk about him in front of me. He won't leave. I don't know which lover (male) has gone to the house. Everyone is here. Let's set off now."

Hearing the Queen's order, the whole team moved. Although it was in exile, the team was not small at all. There are more than thirty carriages alone.

Eight of them are all gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings. This is the majority of the Queen’s private vault. They will be the only ones to sustain their livelihoods and recover Spain in the future.

These 8 carriages and 6 carriages of the royal family and their close servants walked in the middle, and other carriages that carried food and grain walked a little behind. The guards with more than 200 people rode them on horseback. Tuantuan was protected.

No wonder the queen was not nervous at all. Primm could not attack the convoy as long as he didn't want to bear the charge of killing the king, and other thoughtful robbers were definitely not opponents of the Guards.

He politely declined the Queen's kindness to invite him to ride in the same car. Alfonso returned to his carriage. The standard court carriage had a lot of space and didn't get bumpy.

When passing through Madrid Avenue, he opened the window curiously. Although he has inherited memories, he himself has not personally experienced the European customs of the 19th century. In fact, he has not been out of the palace in this month.

But when Alfonso saw the fear and joy of the Madrid people towards their team, he felt a deep tingling pain. He was gradually brought into the role and his disgust towards his people was indeed a bit hard to resist, even if they were more Many are directed at Isabella.

When he closed the window, Alfonso took out the Bible and read it. He could only pass the time like this in the 19th century without entertainment.

In addition, it is really necessary to supplement the knowledge of the Bible. Setting up a pious person can add weight to his future return to the Spanish throne. The predecessor Alfonso did not worship God very privately, so he could only make up lessons on his own.

...

When the time came the next day, Alfonso couldn't bear to stay in the carriage all the time.

Taking advantage of the break time, he walked to Isabella’s carriage and heard the Queen’s voice before he got even closer: "Our heavenly Father, may your name be exalted, and may your..."

Alfonso was not surprised. The Queen didn't know how many times a day he had to pray. He waited quietly outside the car and didn't push the door in until the prayer was over.

"What's the matter, Alfonso, do you miss your mother, or is there something?" Isabella asked with some delight when he saw him coming. Inside the carriage were the queen and an unknown priest.

"Mom, I want to protect you on horseback. I don't want to stay in the carriage anymore." Alfonso opened the door directly.

"How can you, you are only 11 years old, and we are now passing through the traitor's control zone..." the queen subconsciously refused.

"11 years old is not young. Mom, you were officially in power when you were 13 years old. You can control a kingdom when you are 13 years old. Can't I control a horse when I am 11 years old? And you have seen my martial arts before, believe me !"

The queen was still about to refuse. Alfonso got into her arms and arched it twice. She couldn't stand her son being coquettish, so she had no choice but to say: "Eh eh... eh, okay, you can go ask Diego for a pony, Be careful not to fall, and do what you can." In fact, she didn't think there would be any danger subconsciously.

"Thank you mom, you are so kind." Alfonso was happily ready to kiss her, but after looking at the thick powder, he gave up his plan.

After getting out of the carriage, he ran to talk to the captain of the guard Diego about this. The other party also readily assigned him a smaller Andalusian horse. After all, he also taught Alfonso's martial arts, what level It couldn't be clearer.

Alfonso was a little nervous riding on the horse. This was his first time riding a horse. However, due to his predecessor's memory and strong physical fitness, he was a skilled rider in less than half a day.

Then he asked Diego for a position as a convoy scout, followed another senior scout to patrol the convoy, and learn some knowledge of reconnaissance and counter reconnaissance by the way.

...

A week later, the two riders stood in front of a forest, both looking a little nervous.

"His Royal Highness, this kind of terrain is the most vulnerable to ambushes. The forest road is not easy to walk, and the convoy will be very long. As long as they ambush a troop at the front and the rear of the car, they can make us unable to look at each other." The old scout Lucio, the second son of a baron, joined the army at the age of 17, and has now served in the Guards for more than 20 years.

Alfonso's expression is also very solemn. He has basically learned the knowledge of scouts this week, and naturally knows that it would be quite dangerous for a convoy to cross this kind of terrain.

In addition, he also had political considerations. After crossing this forest, he arrived at Bilbao, a large city in the Basque Country. They would take a boat from the port of Bilbao to France.

If hostile forces want to assassinate the queen, this is their last chance, and the calmness along the way has made this possibility a lot more!

"I hope it's okay..." After thinking about it, they decided to wait for the other three teams of scouts to join together, a total of 8 people went in together, if it was really dangerous, it would not be easy to be eaten silently.

After a while, the other six people all came to the entrance of the forest.

Alfonso's status is the most noble, but he gave up command to Lucio, "Lucio, you have the most experience, please give orders."

Lucio glanced at the seven people around him, and finally swallowed the words "Then please go back first".

With a light cough, Lucio said sternly: "Then Pablo and Raul, you two go on the left side of the team, Mario and you............ Your Highness is in the middle, don’t be too far apart, we don’t take the right path. Go through the woods on the side and move on."

Alfonso was a little depressed, and the opponent did not give him a chance to refute. In fact, his strength in the military this week has soared, and his height has also grown to 1.5 meters. He is confident that he can hit 1.5 against ordinary guards.

Moreover, his eyesight and hearing are far superior to ordinary people, and if he is allowed to walk outside, he will definitely be able to spot the enemy better.

The eight people moved forward slowly in the forest, and everyone felt that something was wrong. There was no bird singing in such a large forest. It was quiet and terrible!

"There must be a problem! Pay attention, everyone, after confirming that there is an enemy, immediately withdraw and report it. Of course, if you can, you should first estimate the size of the enemy." Lúcio said to everyone in a low voice.
