Don Divine City was life like as usual Strea for their lives If it were not for Fischer's and uards around, I suspected no one would even notice us
Ast the entire empire, it seemed that there was nobody, except for us bureaucrats, showed even the slightest interest in the coht think it was the Protoss and the Asmodians and the nobility's business to care about
Honestly, I was a little surprised to such a view As long as there was a war, everybody will be inevitably involved, no iant slaughtering whirlpool
By then ere back to our garrison outside the city, there were already a considerable group of people waiting for us
”Your Royal Prince! Viceroy!” An officer ranked lieutenant colonel promptly ran in front of our horses and saluted, ”Sir,125for duty, sir!”
Having said that, he delivered a piece of document to us Carlos, who looked older than us at his 30s, had a square face I would call that lucky because there should be no generation gap between us at the age of his
”I see” I took over the paper signed by the King and uys are quite fast, His Royal Prince and I were just informed that you will come”
”Sir, we received our order in Darkmoon (Cohen's father, Visual Kheda was the Viceroy of Darkmoon province)” Carlos said, ”The tietting here, sir!”
”From Darkmoon to DC, and it only took you ten days?” Fischer was surprised and said, ”If I'ht, the journey takes at least 15 days”
Having heard Fischer asked it, Carlos shness, Viceroy, we'rehardshi+ps is our duty despite our incompetence”
”Say no more of that There's no connection of duty and hardshi+p” Fischer glanced o back and rest We're leaving soon”
”Sir, yes, sir!” Carlos saluted once more and drew back
Looking at ot off their horses and entered their tents under Carlos' coood! They're calm, they're experienced They're a perfect fit for our newly trained officers”
”Our fathers' can't be wrong” Fischer laughed, ”Speaking of which, Cohen, I don't think they've received their rank badge yet”
”Yeah!” I recalled that my IGT officers haven't had their rank orna, ”I alnored that hadn't you mentioned it!”
”Get it done, brother! We don't have ot off his horse and went in his pavilion
”Wilder! Jack!” I toldbehind me, ”Get my order letter and claim 500 standard officer's outfits from the Corps, hurry!”
”Sir, yes, sir!” Wilder and Jack saluted and left Throughout these days, my brothers have learned when to call er the freshmen they used to be
Seeing the two riding fast into the city, I got off my horse and entered my pavilion as well
About two hours later, they came back with the outfits I was informed the process went smoothly without any interference from the Minister's man
”By the way, boss” Jack leaned besideweird on our way back”
”What is it?” Fischer dropped his file and asked
Wilder said, ”There was a hugeabout it”
”What's so weird?” I said, ”It's just a fire! It's inevitable”
”Boss, do you knohose mansion is it?” Wilder said, ”If you know, you'll be excited”
”Whose?”
Jack grinned, ”It belongs to the one who expelled you from the Academy…”
”The headmaster's?” Fischer asked
”That old bastard's!” I was indeed excited, ”Did he get his beard burned?”
”That's the one, though I heard,” Jack said, ”that when that house was on fire the night before, the firefighter never showed up Neither did the faot out, not even a servant”
”He's dead?” Fischer was astonished, ”What a shame!”
Althoughso well, I felt a sense of pitiness when heard about the news He was a knowledgeable old timer after all
”This doesn't sound right!” I looked at Fischer and said, ”It can't be, no one escaped Could it be that the Minister…”
”I'et it, ould the Minister kill him?” Fischer nodded, ”The heads except for his sternness and vanity What a shame, he used to be my maester!”
”Forget it! It's none of our business” I told my brothers, ”Distribute the outfits, we'll leave shortly after”
”Sir, yes, sir!”
It was the first tih they used to be provisional officers during the past training But the current offer ay better than 'provisional’ They laughed and put on the new outfit: newly ironed and starched shi+rt, woolen cloth jacket covered by armors, shi+ny collar ornarinning from ear to ear
”Hehhe, how do you describe this scene?” Fischer and I watched these bunch of pretentious men, ”Their faces are broken!”
”What a glad thing, being an officer” Fischer said, ”Especially for the alien soldiers If they were in someone else's troops, they’d never be an officer till they die”
I h and advanced
”You people, what's so happy about! Stop disgracing yourselves” I scolded loudly, ”Have you sent outout!”
I taught them a lesson then immediately they touched noses and returned back to norood order
I ht into the three squadrons In this way, they had the chance to familiarize with each other As for Carlos, I ordered him to ride with me
Then we started our return
The Nighthaas in charge of peripheral guarding as they'll send wingman scouts and wanders to watch all the directions frouard the team head and the rear end Squadron Firmament rode with me as part of the fleet As we moved away from the crowded main commercial road, the whole fleet's speed went up fast
Carlos unblinkingly gazed at all these, he was both a
”My Lord,” He asked, ”did you train all these men?”
”Positive” I said, ”Problem?”
”Not at all” Carlos shook his head, ”I've been a military officer forspeed and so many alien officers are relatively new to me”
”So, in your point of view,” Fischer took over the subject, ”how did they go?”
”Your Highness, I' to what I saw, they're excellent With thereatly promoted, while other forces cannot live up to us”
I can't help but grinned secretly If Carlos knew those guys were idiot pupils days ago, he’d be even amazed
A wing in the front left suddenly turned about and approached us
”En?” Fischer noticed hiht have a problem”
”Sir!” The wingman flew beside me and maintained the same speed with my horses, ”There’s a small woods in the front at about 5 miles In it, there are about 50 men who seemed suspicious, sir!”
”Fifty? It's still near DC I have to interfere” I pondered and told Carlos, ”You and Wilder, take the front guards Apprehend all of them!”
”Sir, yes, sir!” Carlos quickened his horse and joined Wilder's front guards
I gave my order to the fleet to alter and transforuards quickly caught up with the fleet led by the wingets entirely surrounded froht
Wilder and Carlos and their men marched into the enemy's crowd, and on their horseback, they yelled their unit name The battle ended very fast
How could the enee Wolf Squadron of the Swabian I Troops' Once they saw they were surrounded by a group of Swabian officers, they iht could start Their weapons were proven to be useless After Wilder slaround, they all abandoned resistance”
”Sir! Sir! Please don't Listen to me, listen to me!”
A leader-like guy ca! We're all the Minister's guards…”
