When this hillbilly suddenly started to play the rascal, Ruhr became somewhat helpless. Revealing a face like someone with a toothache, he grinned: “You punk, I am sacrificing my face to take you out and you actually end up making it hard for me.”

Ruhr made an effort and tried to pull Shaar up. However, now that this sly hillbilly had recognized a small advantage in his heart, why would he be willing to get up? After pulling for a while, Ruhr, who didn’t have this hillbilly’s inhuman strength finally ran out of breath. Full of ridicule, he said: “You sly fellow. Sure enough, this uncle wasn’t wrong about you. Although you have an upright and honest face, you have more cunning in your head than I did when I was your age!”

Shaar tightly clung to his bed and smiled: “I got imprisoned for more than ten days for no reason, if it was someone else wouldn’t there be some resentment? You guys want to imprison people when you like, and then free them just like that? If it’s like that, this uncle will just throw away his status. At the worst, I will go back to the mountain and become a hunter. I am not a Byzantine citizen in any case.”

Ruhr frowned as he was helpless against this guy. He finally sighed: “Alright! You sit down first, I will talk about it and you only need to listen. However….. You must keep your mouth shut and not say a word about it. Just pretends not to know about it.

While talking, the fat fellow sat down and stared at Shaar. He then sneered twice: “You don’t know, right now, your name has already spread to Osgiliath! No matter which military headquarter or even on the table of His Majesty in the imperial palace, there are copies of the report on your background! In brief, in a few words. . . . You are currently in the limelight and after Bonfret died, the fact that he falsely claimed the medal for your deed was exposed. The military headquarters couldn’t save its honor and His Majesty was furious. In the end, the deputy minister of military affairs has been severely scolded by His Majesty. The commander-in-chief of the military headquarters also took the blame and resigned. Moreover, more than a dozen high-ranking officers in the military have been forcefully punished. The news spread yesterday, the deputy minister has written his resignation letter and His Majesty has approved it! All of these events, because of you!”

“Me?” Shaar pointed himself on the nose.

Since he was only a hillbilly, the people with the highest status he had previously seen in his life were General Adrick and General Ruhr. Certainly, Odin’s Hasting was also one of them.

However… The deputy minister of military affairs of the Empire? Such a big shot, he only heard about him in the past. However now, he unexpectedly. . . . Had to resign his post because of him?

“Anyway, His Majesty was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with some of the old men in the military headquarters in recent years. He seized the chance to get rid them by taking advantage of this matter. He used you as an excuse. There was some high-level power struggle involved here, even if I tell you, you won’t understand.” Ruhr smiled bitterly and lowered his voice: “To be honest I am also ‘responsible’ for this matter.”

“I am not afraid of telling you the truth. Initially, making Bonfret fraudulently receive your military exploit was my idea. I wasn’t trying to harm you, instead, it was for your own good ……You offended that pretty boy on the battlefield and although that he was an idiot, he was favoured and trusted by his highness the crown prince. You ungrateful kid unexpectedly offended him severely.Even in the protection of the tyrannical Adrick, facing against the future Emperor, it is impossible to hide. Therefore, I thought of a way to calm Bonfret’s anger. He would receive the military exploit, however you accompanied him on that day to face Hasting and became a witness this way. Once the medal was given, his matter would be closed since it is not possible to reverse a verdict again! In that case, Bonfret obtained the benefit of the medal and would get its honor. However, he wouldn’t be able to act against you since you were the witness of his medal. Instead, he would even try to find a way to protect you……. “

When Ruhr arrived at this part, his face tightened but he continued with a forced smile: “However, who would have thought that Hasting was so courageous and arrogant that he unexpectedly rushed to our rear single-handedly to kill that pretty boy Bonfret.”

Shaar touched his head and laughed hollowly: “No wonder, at that time even General Adrick didn’t say anything about this matter. It turned out that he wants what’s best for me. However, I don’t actually care……From the look of it, this medal is not easy to obtain. Bonfret that idiot, if he didn’t seek the fame of wounding Hasting, then he wouldn’t have become his target.”

“This matter is something to be talked about later.” Ruhr rubbed the fat on his face: “You were imprisoned because the military simply wanted a scapegoat. After you were arrested, your men ran back with the news and Adrick was furious. If I haven’t noticed that things were not right and went with him to the military headquarters to calm him down, I only fear that he would have drawn his sword to duel with the guys of military headquarters. Ah, this fellow really cares for you a lot. However, this tyrannical general usually lives up to his name. When coming across this kind of matter, he normally twists an arm or leg of someone. Furthermore, this defeat had cost the 13th Army half of its men. He wasn’t as energetic as he usual is. Once I saw that things were not looking good, I grabbed him to discuss a solution. The military could only punish you with the prerequisite that Bonfret was a hero! Since that was the case, this matter could be easily handled!”

Shaar smiled.

“Then we assembled all the officers of the 13th and my 6th Army in jointly denouncing Bonfret and spread that he has fraudulently received the medal. First, we spread the news and made outside know that you were the person who truly wounded Hasting on the battlefield…”
