Chapter 9 (2/2)

He said

At first, I thought he said that because he went crazy out of fearHe’s still just a brat after all

However, he devised a strategy and started giving us instructionsIt was like this

[They’re just banditsMere scavengersThey are no match for the trained Schwarzer’s soldiers]

He said

He said

He then started issuing instructionsAnd how precise those instructions were

[Our opponent is not faraphy hereIf you hide in the bushes and lay in ambush for them, we can cut down their number considerably]

[They ht think that we’ll attack head onSo let’s do the opposite and have the cavalry attack from their rear]

[Their cohesion is actually fragile and can easily collapseWe’ll be able to rout them immediately]

Noe basically considered captain Alan a GodEveryone calainst such odds, I thought that I was going to die for sure

But now survival has become a certainty

And indeed, weminor injuries

I once thought, this guy is like the heroes written in history…no, he can be so more than a hero

Everyone was already intoxicated by captain AlanIt’s a sters…us, the adults, actually honoring a ten year old kidBut for us……he’s a captain we can put our respect into…and someone we can look up to as a hero

And the second memory was……his expressions

Captain as like a God of war during battle…acted like a nor his leisure time

Eating snack at a street stall, swi…

One day, it’s been decided that he would be staying atnew, but beyond that, it’s an order for captain Alan to stay at my house

When I got home, captain actually talked with my mom as if they are a close friendThat surprised me

Other than that, he see at home

We arranged our beds together in the eveningAt night we talked about the girl I took a liking to, hoill spend our holiday…just talking…he really is still a kid after allOn er brother during those days… it was kinda inappropriate when I think about it again now

Later on I was told that captain Alan was actually the Archduke’s sonI was aely…I felt relievedYeah, that means there will be more in this world for the captain to achieve

That’s what I, personally thoughtBut, I guess everyone was thinking the sa, that is

If one day that person will beco of this continent…that will probably be the happiest day in this world

And that’s whyThe Schwarzer’s soldiers will be willing to put down our life just for hih, Ares-sama would not let us to

Even now after I’ve become team leader of 10 member squad…I still think the same

Northern Fortress s Soldier Marco s Story of the Past It washow many years has it been It hen I was still an apprentice soldierDuring the usualfrom the Fortress head chief Rouen sama, I heard that there would be an introduction of a new squad leaderAlthough Rouen sa that it s so Rouen saeneral who had steadfastly defended the country froard Empire for decades, even someone from another country would know his namePreviously, I heard that he s been invited to become a minister on the Royal Capital by His Majesty himself no lessBut it s said that he turned down the offer because he s still duty bound to the ArchdukeWell in short, he s an awesome person and everyone adores hi introduced was actually a ten year old childeveryone was really ah when thinking back about itAnyways that child is apparently the young lord of the Schwarzer clanBut when he was first introduced, that important fact was hidden from usSquad Captain Alan By the way I felt bad for him at firstWho the hell is that kid anyways If not for Rouen sa care of him, I would veThat s pretty much what the less savory soldiers saidHowever no matter how much irresponsible that was, the soldiers of Schwarzer are not so incoThe order is absoluteHoweverI wonder what I will end up like fro that kid s orderthat s the kind of despair I had back thenThat was howSquad Captain Alanno, Ares sae of our squadNow then, after the rather abrupt introduction, Ares samano, let s use Squad Captain Alan since that s hoe know him as back thencaptain Alan said that he wanted to see our sword training routineThat s not soht like thatBut as I said before, orders are absolutewe re quite used with training inspections for quite a while noaysBut what s more, captain Alan also wanted to participate in itwhich kinda surprisedto make a fool out of all of usThat s why, on that occasion, I shouldn t be the only one thinking about going home as soon as possibleThat boy was really a bratBut there are people out there that is beyond any expectationalthough it s rude for in ere just new recruitsI would be happy to take up the offer if it was co from a veteran soldier, letthe weakbut I guess I don t have much of a choiceAnyways, we sparredand it was round in a matter of secondsI had no idea what had happenedHowever, I was astonished when he apologized and helped ot back up, just like a veteran soldier would doAfter that we continued our training session but what can I say, we couldn t even beat him even we came at him en masseAll of our swords were evaded, parriedand ended up only cutting airNot even veteran soldiers could do thatit s not us eak, the other party was just a ot bulliedwas usAfter that our attitude to hied completelyIf he can show that kind of powerthen, we have nothing to say it s pathetic for us, but the arht, so normal boy but the contents inside are worth many odd years, doesn t he Just like the elves whose appearance doesn t change even after hundreds of years, I guess it s interesting to have someone like that in our squadI couldn t come up with a better conclusion at that ti under captain Alan for a few yearsIn addition to regularly i our abilities, ere sortied to maintain security then eventually, punitive assaultsCaptain Alan s orders were always preciseHow to react when in a dangerous situation, when to attack at the most decisive momentno, it felt very easy in retrospectUnder captain Alan leadershi+p s, the squad rarely, if ever, suffered any daard, I really appreciated his presenceBefore we knew itwe ve become entirely compliant to captain s orderNow then, about captain Alanthere are two memorable events etched in my headThe first hen the northern fortress was attacked by a large number of banditsAt that time, we only had 100 soldiers on our sideMeanwhile there were 500 bandits attackingTheir number was five times oursTo be honest, ere prepared to kill asWe have our pride as Schwarzer s soldiers after allHowevercaptain Alan was differentWhen he saw the enehed, and said thisWe will rout the bandits nowHe saidAt first, I thought he said that because he went crazy out of fearHe s still just a brat after allHowever, he devised a strategy and started giving us instructionsIt was like thisThey re just banditsMere scavengersThey are no match for the trained Schwarzer s soldiers He saidHe then started issuing instructionsAnd how
