“I am at the level of an advanced expert”
“Advanced?”
Milton looked surprised on the outside but was calth of 85 uess you need to be above 86 strength to be an elite expert I wonder what it takes to get to the master level’</eeticof your skill level, I feel like I’ve hired you for a pittance”
Jero
“Not at all I am satisfied with my pay”
“Thank you If ive you some extra pay”
“You don’t have to do that”
Milton and Jerome were considerate of each other and kept up a pleasant at their conversation
From that point forward, nobody had any dissatisfaction when Jero, Tommy and Rick put away their pride and asked to be instructed Even if knights looked down onof respect It was also Rick and Torown up in the countryside In fact, the feelings Rick and Tommy had for Jerome went beyond respect and approached ad swordset paid for instructing theht not know any better, but Milton recalled frole private lesson with an expert cost over ten gold
However, Jero theot closer to Tommy and Rick ere steadfast in their resolve to learn
Watching things unfold, Milton speculated that Jeroed environined that Jerome probably had no want for money, and could use his talent and environment to train to his heart’s content Milton had his suspicions as to why such a person would turn into a er toward the Republic
I should touch on just yet I’ll have to take it slow until Jeroher’</e to Milton’s information as at 62
Since all other mercenaries had a loyalty value between 50 to 60, it appeared this was just the loyalty soottensessions, but it seemed personal relations did not influence one’s loyalty stat byuntil they reached the battlefield, training daily without pause As a result, he progressed froe sword user to an advanced sword user
Jero, but Milton knew better Milton would have progressed to his current stateHe was just catching up to where he should have already advanced If Milton had trained wholeheartedly at the academy, he would have at the very least been an elite sword user by now
‘I really want to rebuke h and decided he could only train hard from now on After a while, Milton and his troops finally reached the front lines of the battlefield The first thing Milton did upon his arrival was to report to the Chief of Staff
“I, Viscount Milton Forrest of the Lester Kingdom, have arrived at the Western Front”
you need to do in thestrength in his stomach to shout out his presence in a disciplined position, Milton could not help but be reminded of his ood to have you here, Viscount Forrest I am Count Ronnie Crable, a Second Command Center Staff Officer of the Western Front
Count Ronnie Crable did not seeht a lot of troops and was not a distinguished knight He just took Milton as one of thethrough the documents, Ronnie spoke to confirm what he read
“The nuhts included in that count Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s correct”

“I will entrust you with the reconnaissance and defense of the ion You will be part of Crow Fortress in the Grey Mountains”
“Okay, understood”
“I look forward to your earnest fight against the dogs of the Republic, Viscount”
Milton was assigned his post and appointed as a 100-ue
‘Second Command of the Western Front? I have no idea what that n country I should head back and ask Jeroood understanding of the systedom
“The Western Front is divided into four parts The Second Command Center is one of those parts”
Jerome replied simply to Milton’s question
“I see Besides the Western Front, what others are there?”
“There is the Northern Front and the Eastern Front Of thehting is”
“What about the Western Front, where we are?”
“The situation is a bit better than the Northern Front for our allies, but there are always ned to reconnaissance is where the ers
“Is that so?”
‘They intend to work us to the bone’
Milton had already expected this Even if he was a noble, he was a noble frodoerous battles and minimize their own losses as much as possible
‘However, this is what I wanted as well’
Milton spoke to Jerome, “Jerome, you will temporarily work as my aide while we’re at the Western Front”
“I aht, but a mere mercenary”
“However, you have the best st everyone here”
“……”
“I won’t ask about your past, but I think nothing isthe best of our abilities on the battlefield”
Jero for confirmation
“Is that what you really think?”
