Colonel Fraser felt that something was wrong when he discovered that Ron and Robinson were missing. He even borrowed a portal that only foreigners would use on a large scale and rushed back to Scarlet Castle, trying to return to the pioneer fortress to stop Ron from doing stupid things.
.
But when he was preparing to set off in Scarlet Castle, he received news from the pioneer fortress.
After all, I was a step too late.
The war heroes of Black Flame Pass, Major Ron Rorma Soros and Captain George 'Ironhand' Robinson, were dismissed from all military commissions for trying to start a rebellion and are currently being held in cells at the Fortress awaiting military action.
During the further trial in the court, Marshal Loren personally ordered Colonel Fraser to immediately return to the front line of Shadow Valley to supervise the battle.
This made it clear that Fraser was not allowed to be involved in this matter.
To be honest, when he received the news, Fraser really had the urge to go back and develop the fortress now, but he was a rational person after all.
With the Marshal's temper, not killing these two bastards on the spot shows that there is still a chance to save the matter. General Soros, as Marshal Loren's comrade for many years, will not sit back and watch his son become a prisoner with an unclear identity. Therefore,
The outcome of this incident will most likely be that Ron and Iron Hand are kicked out by the Pioneer Legion.
This is another sense in which the merits are offset by the faults.
Frasier had mixed feelings.
He was roaming alone in the Scarlet Castle, which was no longer lively due to the wartime system. He wanted to find a place to get drunk or something so that he would not have to pay attention to these troublesome things for the time being.
However, he walked to the administrative area of Scarlet Castle. After hesitating for a moment, he submitted a request to visit the Scarlet Archon to the guard in a formal capacity, and he quickly received approval.
It's not that Archon Miriam put down her official duties for personal reasons, but that after Transia has a large number of civil servants filling various positions in government departments, her daily work is not as busy as before, and she can still take time out from meetings to make decisions.
Spend some time chatting with important people in a foreign country.
After all, the Capetian family, which is still providing some support for the war, is an important collaborator of Transia in the Plantagenet Kingdom. Colonel Fraser obviously has a special status.
However, when she saw Colonel Fraser's languid expression with her own eyes, Miriam knew that this guy was in trouble.
In the Archon's office, she poured a cup of tea for her senior and listened to Fraser's story. After hearing what happened to Major Ron, the Scarlet Archon shook her head and said:
"You were just too anxious and didn't discover Major Ron's strategy. Doesn't a shrewd guy like him know the outcome of his trip?
He knew better than anyone else that he was just using this fierce method to set up the short-handed marshal at this delicate moment. His purpose was also very clear, which was to single-handedly bring this matter to the forefront that might have been temporarily hidden.
above, forcing Marshal Loren to deal with it immediately.
He cleverly took advantage of Plantagenet's need for domestic publicity and propaganda, and grasped the worst outcome.
This matter is currently causing turmoil within the pioneering army. If it is not properly handled, it cannot be said that the short-term marshal will lose military morale overnight, and at least his prestige will be hit for sure.
For a soldier who values honor, this stain will accompany him throughout his life.
Although in my opinion, Marshal Loren brought it upon himself and deserved to suffer, I have to say that I really underestimated Major Ron.
Not only is he shrewd, but he is also really willing to risk everything at critical moments.
In comparison, you seem a bit indecisive."
"I"
The colonel wanted to refute, but faced with Miriam's explanation, he was speechless for a while. In the end, he could only hold the tea cup and sigh:
"It's like I'm meeting Ron for the first time. The fierce side of his personality is actually shown in this way. If it were me, I would really have trouble making up my mind."
"It doesn't have to be like this. You are the eldest son and he is the second son of the family. The responsibilities you bear are completely different from his destined life. Naturally, we cannot compare them together."
Miriam is really much more mature than before.
While comforting Fraser, she said:
"I guess the reason why Major Ron dared to be so direct was because he was sure that his departure would not affect the operation of the Pioneer Battalion. In other words, he believed that the mess he caused could be properly handled by you. This is also another meaning.
Entrusted to you.
Don't let your brother down and be careful in the next battle. Once you encounter danger or fall into a worse situation, your father will definitely cause terrible waves.
In today's situation, this is an unnecessary disturbance.
Do you need me to arrange for a psionicist to send you back to the front line? Or do you want to rest in the city for one night?"
"I'll leave in a moment. We have just obtained a position in Shadow Valley. The morale of the soldiers also needs to be maintained. We also need to hand over to the commander who will be sent to open up the fortress. There are many things to do."
The colonel took a sip of tea. He glanced at Miriam and noticed the ceremonial sword worn on her waist. He whispered:
"So, are you ready to step into the battlefield when necessary?"
"When I go to the battlefield, I am also a burden to others. After all, I haven't learned how to fight in a systematic way."
Miriam smiled, brushed her long red hair that had grown back, and said in a funny manner:
"If possible, I'd better not cause trouble for the soldiers, but if the war really requires me to participate, then I probably won't refuse. To tell you the truth, when I stepped into the stage of the men, I
Maybe it will be changed to a more deterrent form."
"vampire?"
Fraser raised his eyebrows, put down his teacup, and said:
"Have you reached this point of determination? You know, with your current identity and status, even if things go to the worst, both countries will be willing to leave a refuge for you, right? You can choose one of the two and form a
"Government in Exile"
"Then being used as a political bargaining chip by King Louis or the Wolf Lady?"
Miriam shook her head and said decisively:
"No, that is not the fate that Transians would choose. It is also a blasphemy to all the efforts of me and my companions in the past. I know that I can sit firmly in this position not because of how powerful I am, I just
I was pushed here by fate and got help from many enthusiastic people.
I have been working hard to make myself worthy of the title of 'Scarlet Archon'.
War or death in battle are also manifestations of this effort.
Of course, if a man like you is powerful enough and can win a glorious victory on the front line, then I don't need to leave a suicide note or anything in advance.
Well, maybe I shouldn't say such ominous things in front of you. In short, I wish you smooth sailing in your subsequent battles, and may the light of victory stay with you forever."
"Thanks for the blessing."
Fraser took a sip of tea, took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He stood up and said goodbye to Miriam:
"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to listen to me. Your analysis is very important to me and Ron. It seems that I need to arrange a suitable position for my reckless brother's future life."
"A capable mercenary group might be good, or a retinue army used by the Cape family to advance the war."
Miriam walked Fraser to the door and said softly:
"Ron didn't really hate the war, he just chose the latter between duty and friendship.
Although his actions may seem reckless, the fact that he could do this for Dunn and those dead soldiers proves that he values friendship above all else, which means you can trust him.
It even goes beyond the trust between superiors and subordinates, the true trust between brothers, just like the big shots always have some things that are not convenient for them to do.
In short, congratulations, Colonel, you have the best pair of bloody gloves.
Ahem, don't show that expression. With your grammatical skills, you can naturally tell that I am not using it in a derogatory way."
"I know."
Fraser frowned and nodded.
He said nothing more, said a very gentlemanly farewell, and then strode out of the Executive Yuan.
Miriam came to the window to watch her senior leave. She had just noticed that in Frazier's holster was the scarlet revolver she had sent out.
well.
The consul sighed, patted his cheek lightly, and said:
"Miriam, you little goblin, you are really good at seducing men.
Forget it, go to work, let me see the documents that need to be processed. Well, Boss Huo of Booty Bay purchased 30,000 landless serfs in the wilderness area in a private name, and donated them to the administration in the name of Booty Bay.
Used to fill manpower.
Well, Governor Murphy will definitely be very satisfied with the 300 quotas.
By the way, Boss Huo and Boss Maomaotu have single-handedly obtained nearly 50,000 manpower and 500 foreigners for Transia through a series of operations since the beginning of the war.
Although they are not on the front line, their contribution is worthy of an 'Executive Baron' badge. Work harder, you two. I also look forward to hanging the Earl's Medal on your chests with my own hands after the war is over.

"The concentration of dirty psychic energy outside the Black Flame Pass position has dropped to close to the safety threshold. I think we should go back and take a look!"
In the large tavern run by the shadow elf vampires in the Shadow Valley, the members of the Silver Moon Group who had just completed the task of clearing out the jackal bandits near Barren Mountain were gathering here. Xiao Ashina was holding a wine glass about the same size as her head.
While drinking apple juice from this cool thing, I said to the others:
"I flew over last night and took a look. The psychic shadows on the outer positions have dispersed somewhat. Although the center of the position is still inaccessible, I think we may be able to explore around No. 8 position by using fire to clear the way.
That's where Lord Heather transformed in the second stage. Maybe we can find some relics and do some battlefield reconnaissance. It doesn't mean that the mountain pass over there has been flattened. After that, the gnolls only need to clear the surface and there will be no obstacles.
Did you come all the way?
Do you want to plant some anti-infantry mines or something there?"
"Now is not the time. The Black Flame Pass position will definitely be cleared again later. That will be the best time to lay large-scale mines."
Sister Pomegranate, who was drinking a cocktail, shook her head and said:
"And the Silver Dwarves also said that they are not sure what exists in the complex structure underground of the position. The scale of the tearing of the star realm was so large that if they were not protected, some dangerous things would be dropped from the star realm.
For example, those astral creatures we encountered in the Cadman Ruins before.
Astral tigers, lizards, etc."
"Now we are not afraid, if we encounter them we will kill them!"
Xiao Ashina waved her fist and shouted:
"But if I can find Lord Heather's relics, I think if I send those things to Lord Pa Ying, I can definitely increase my reputation, right? Lord Heather is the heir of Lord Pa Ying!"
"Emmm, that makes sense."
Lumina reached out and rubbed Xiao Ashina's head hard, and said:
"You are really smart with your little head. So, Mrs. Shui, what do you think? Are you going?"
"Let's go. Anyway, the second phase of the operation has not started yet. If we stay here, we can only take on some daily tasks of cleaning up the surrounding areas. There is not much profit."
Mrs. Shui was holding yogurt in her hand. She glanced at the orchid beside her and said:
"Is your potential release bar at 100%?"
"Well, the fourth ancestral power, Ice Breaking Cold, has also been unlocked."
Lan Huahua held a glass of dwarf barley wine with a helpless expression, but the wine in her glass was exuding a chill, which was obviously the magical power of her ancestors taking effect.
Her four ancestral powers are not only wonderful in this kind of thing, but also have an impact on her appearance. Her long black hair is becoming more crystal clear day by day, revealing an icy coldness.
It was faintly blue, with ice flowers twining around the ends of her hair, and even her pupils turned gray-blue.
This is a manifestation of activating the ancient Nordic bloodline after anti-ancestral transformation. What is also unspeakable is that Lanhua found that her pants in the game would become shorter every few days, which meant that her already exaggerated and beautiful leg shape
Still growing.
"This release of the power of the ancestors is so wonderful."
She complained, drank down the barley wine with ice chips in her hand, smashed the glass on the table, and said:
"Just take advantage of this adventure opportunity to complete the Silver Trial."
"Yeah, the first black iron in the game is our little Wei Ming who is the most powerful in the Silver Moon Group. The first silver is still from our side. Let the shameful pomegranate sister work harder and strive to complete the first one among the players.
Golden challenge!”
Xiao Weiming cheered and said:
"My potential bar has reached 95%. I have to test it when I get the fourth ancestor's power. Lanhua will explore the way for us."
"Don't make trouble, I'm 99% done."
Sister Pomegranate snorted, supported her chin with her left hand and showed an expression of "how lonely it is to be invincible". She took out the claw blade with her right hand and dug out small cracks on the table one after another, and said:
"And I now have four ancestral powers. I plan to collect six and then be promoted. I advise you not to worry. According to the NPCs, the completion of the Silver Trial will directly determine your pursuit of golden power.
Progress and destination on the road.
Instead of trying to make a parallel-imported silver product if you are too high or too low, it is better to practice more in a down-to-earth manner.”
"Do you think everyone is a fighting madman like you and Brother Cat?"
Lumina complained harshly:
"We ordinary players are already fighting for their lives to get four ancestral powers, okay? And a half-elf like me still has to make a choice. I don't want to give up either human or elf.
So I plan to either wait for the Moon Elf or Forest Elf to be released before changing the race again, or choose the krypton gold mode!
300% experience consumption, uh, it should mean that the upgrade is slower?"
"You think too much. Upgrading is secondary. The most important thing is the speed of skill improvement."
Sister Pomegranate said quietly:
"It's already very difficult to learn advanced skills now. I can't imagine how painful it will be to learn advanced skills and master-level skills in the future. Your 300% experience consumption will definitely become a fatal sinkhole in the later stage.
Change your race, I think the Shadow Elf's talent is very practical."
"No! Shadow Elf's reputation is too bad."
Lumina crossed her arms and refused:
"You don't know, those corrupt guys have started to engage in special services in Lao Huo's Treasure Bay, and they don't do it for money, it's purely a hobby. Those big soldiers who go to consume are leaving one by one.
When it came out it felt like it had been sucked dry.
This is too terrible.”
"Well, that's true, the shadow elves are indeed too exaggerated in this regard."
Mrs. Shui rubbed her eyebrows and said helplessly:
"I went to learn skills from the master tailor of the Medjeva family, but the guy insisted that I stay with her for three days and made me wear weird clothes! My husband almost rolled up his sleeves and beat her, but guess what?
?
The guy got even more excited when he saw my husband, and even suggested that the three of us do it! He reported it to the sheriff on the spot. When Aunt Mei took her away, the guy was still ogling me.
It's just crazy.
Those of us who keep ourselves clean are better off not interacting with those guys. Let's set off after drinking this round, bring enough alchemical fire oil and call others to go with us.
The position is very big. Just relying on us to find things will take us a long time, right?
Xiao Weiming, you don't drink, why are you taking the seat?
Go, go, let your mother, who has a terrible drinking capacity, come over. You go to the bulletin board and hand out tasks. Remember to find more people."
"Humph, you are discriminating! What's wrong with apple juice? Is apple juice healthy? I hate you! Mom? Mom! Don't seduce restless young people who don't understand anything over there. Come over and drink with them.
By the way, give them some experience in controlling husbands!
Your precious daughter is being bullied!
Damn it, you promised to accompany me, but why are you having more fun now than me?"
