Chapter 1291 Extra Story 46 Of Edgar The Amazing Scientific Theory (1/2)

The military exercise lasted for fifteen days. At the end, the Blue Force with Edgar as its commander won. As a result, the whole of S Army were praised by the chief of general staff. Moreover, Edgar, as the legendary leader, became the undefeated god in their hearts. The God of war, so to speak.

After returning to the barracks, everyone was granted a one-day holiday. On this day, except for the soldiers on duty, everyone could do whatever they wanted to do. They were even allowed to get drunk! Of course, the Eagle Special Brigade was not included.

All soldiers in this special army unit had to keep ready and alert at all times. They never knew when their country could call upon them. Alcohol was definitely prohibited here. However, they could still have a good time together. Eating, playing, and a roaring campfire were all good choices. Enjoying women soldiers' singing songs was also a good option.

Under Edgar's leadership, several cadres were on duty rotation now. They were chatting through two-way radios. They were quite relaxed and exchanged banter and laughter on an open channel from time to time.

Maggie felt sad when she saw that Jake was being fawned about by the other soldiers because of his performance on the battlefield. She was not jealous of him because he was a capable soldier, and she was proud of him. She was angry however, because she hadn't taken part in the battle simulations nor had she managed to induce Edgar to love her.

”What? Are you unhappy?” Garth asked as he walked towards Maggie. He had always been very observant.

Maggie shrugged and shook her head with a small smile.

He stared deeply at her as if he wanted to look through her. Finally, he opened his mouth slowly, ”The instructor asked us to send some food to Captain Edgar and...” He looked at the roasted lamb which he was carrying on a tray and said, ”You are free now. How about doing us a favor?”

”In what universe am I free?” Maggie refuted with a soft giggle, but thinking of it, she changed her mind at once. ”Okay, our leaders work so hard. I'll help.”

Looking at her hopeful expression, Garth tried his best to not laugh. He nodded and answered, ”Well done. You are a good comrade.”

Cathy had hoped that Maggie would agree to help. She had made up the plate which was to be taken to Edgar with the idea of providing Maggie with an opportunity. So as not to be obvious about it, Maggie took food to several soldiers on duty, and then finally, with heart hammering in her chest, she took the roasted lamb's leg to Edgar. A happy smile played on her lips. She rushed over to his duty station at a high speed.

However, her excitement evaporated, like mist before the scorching sun, when she saw Claire hugging Edgar. Her fervor cooled instantly, as if she was doused by ice water.

Maggie froze and just stared at them as her mind had gone blank with shock. After a while, she came to her senses and almost choked on the feelings of bitterness which threatened to overwhelm her. 'Why didn't I think of this? How could a man keep himself calm with a beautiful woman in his arms? According to Benjamin, it's quite easy to conquer a man. I should have just thrown myself at him!'
