Chapter 15: Hero of Pratinos (4) (2/2)
Milton particularly liked this neaken’ skill that he had coave Jerome his epiphany The reason why he liked this skill was that if he were to utilize it well, young knights such as Rick and Tohtenoes well, who knows – our territory can be hts that have all reached the Expert level’</eiddy
The next day, Milton ht under him
At any rate, Rick and Tommy – who respected Jero hily happy and welcomed him The common soldiers also liked the fact that the humble and benevolent Jero these men were not aware of They did not predict what sort of impact Jerome would have on them, now that he was full of drive
“My Lord, now that I serve you as a knight, I would like to use hts and soldiers”
As soon as they arrived back at the fortress, Jerome said to Milton with an earnest expression
“Have you not been training them until now?”
“Now that we have beco that’s a bit hts and soldiers would also quite like it if a top-class Expert were to oversee their training”
“Thank you”
Jeroave him approval
In future days, Milton would coht a bit more deeply about what Jerome meant by the word ‘proper’
The next day
As the an for the troops under Milton’s coetting off-ed right away in a war!”
“Don’t go off deciding your li as a liive up!”
Jero froeant hat on Jerome’s head if he squinted [1]
‘Ah! At least the last line sounded kinda like a famous film quote…’
It reushed over in his ti of the knights and soldiers until now under the identity of ahis subordinates fro thes as far as he was concerned
There was nothing to be said about Rick and Tohts, but Jeroed thee of a human’s physical and mental li the this process, Milton thought
‘It’s a real relief that I’oes to the ars from time to time It means there are those juniors whom you look at and make you feel, ‘It’s a real relief that I entered the army earlier than that dude’
That was exactly the sort of i on Milton
But the universe never allows one to lower their guard down
After the training systeone into orbit, Jerome set his eyes on Milton
“My Lord, it see system for our unit has been soht Good job It looks like you can now focus on your own training Got to hurry and reach Master, you know Ha ha ha ha…”
Beco awfully uneasy for soe the subject But Jero eyes
“No, ly failed to pay attention to your training all this time, but…”
‘How about we just keep it that way?’</e clearer
Jero with confidence
“I now have the liberty to begin My Lord’s training starting today I will er without fail, My Lord”
“Do we really have to do this?”
“Of course You just need to trust in me”
“……”
Milton’s anxieties had ultimately beco drilled like crazy forrin was for Milton to join thee, Jerome formed an expression of conviction and spoke confidently
“Just leave it to me, My Lord I’ll make sure you reach the Expert level within a year — I’ll make sure of it whatever it takes!”
“……”
Milton could not form the words that they just shouldn’t do this
And so…
“There’s still a-ways left, My Lord! You’ve got more left in the tank!”
“How could you be tired after barely this et up It’s too early for you to be dying!”
As expected, Milton entered training hell with his subordinates – no, it was even worse than theirs
As time passed, the Grey Mountains saw the first snow of the co and small battles of attrition occurred all the ti winter at the least
Every winter, the Grey Mountains were a place whereup to one’s knees was on the lesser end, and on many occasions, the snoould pile up to a person’s hips Therefore, winter was a tio to war, even if they wanted to
If, like a certain famous Frenchman on Earth, one claimed that the word impossible wasn’t in their dictionary and tried to pass the mountains with pure bravado, they were bound to die There had indeed been such occasions in the past
Instead, winter was a time of preparation Supplies were stockpiled and soldiers drilled to prepare for spring’s arrival The ould reco of the snow
This winter,up on supplies
“It appears the Co next year”
These words were directed to Milton discreetly by Nelson in a private spot
Milton also thought it was a no-brainer that the Command Center had resolved to do so He had heard that the Hildess Republic’s food provision circuht
Even with the world’s ent policyht at the forefront, an aranized than a confused flock of crows [2]
This winter was looking to be an exceptionally harsh one for the ene arrived next year, the intention was to end this tedious war of attrition at the Western Front and order a full-fledged advance of the troops The tense equilibrium sustained until noould be broken in order to place the entire Grey Mountains in their hands
The reason why the Western Front could not advance in the least until noas that the Hildess Republic aggressively utilized the rugged terrain of the Grey Mountains to form their defense If they only went beyond the Grey Mountains, the entire Hildess Republic becaets of attack
Milton’s contributions on the field had played aout so well This ith the caveat that the Command Center had scaled down his battlefieldof renown
In truth, Milton was not all that obsessed with gaining fame and honor in the field of battle
This was a war taking place in so honor here would not be of htly more practical benefit for hiinal translation says Milton thought he could make out a red hat This is because in the eants wear (rather iconic) red baseball-style caps, unlike in the West where drill sergeants ide-brin hats
