Nothing in the world is perfect, and this is no different.
The soldiers who followed rushed to the enemy's defensive position and started a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy's remaining soldiers. Claude became the commander-in-chief of the front line, constantly guiding the soldiers who rushed up to launch charges and commanding the soldiers of the Ranger Battalion to kill those stubborn enemies.
, even the lieutenant-level officers who caught up behind him obeyed Claude's instructions.
Because of this, Claude was targeted. An enemy lieutenant officer came out of nowhere and rushed towards Claude, waving a sharp riding sword in his hand. Claude was caught.
I was caught off guard. I didn't expect that there was an enemy hiding so close to me. In panic, I could only use my musket to block the charge of the sword. I blocked it, but I didn't avoid it. My thigh was hit by the sword.
I gave the bucket a pair of threads.
The enemy officer wanted to draw his sword and stab him again, but several soldiers around Claude had already reacted and stabbed the enemy officer with bayonets. But Claude could only fall to the ground and hug him.
He rubbed his thighs and lamented his misfortune. He no longer had the perfect quality healing potion he brought from home. The last bottle was used on Murray Ed. He brought four bottles from home, but none of them were found.
He used it on himself. When he was injured, he realized that the potion was gone. Claude was also a bit miserable, so he could only get a bandage and put it on first.
The position was retaken, but bad news also came one after another. Aboyev died. He died in the first volley of fire from the enemy ranks. A gun shot from his left eye and penetrated the back of the head, which should be
He died without any pain, almost on the spot. Belklin held his body and cried out of breath. Diavid sat beside him and was secretly sad. The four noble children joined the army together, and it had only been a year.
Soon I lost a companion...
Soon the carriage transporting the wounded soldiers arrived. Claude and Diavid, who had an injured shoulder, got on the carriage. After receiving simple disinfection and re-bandaging at the camp, they were sent to the Wounded Soldiers Treatment Center in Amys City.
He recuperated there until he recovered from his injuries and then reported back to the army. The treatment center was very large and there were many wounded people there. There were also many casualties from the Ranger Battalion who were familiar with him. Murray Ed was also there. He suffered a gunshot wound and it would take more than a month to recover.
.
A week later, Captain Leedfunk from the Ranger Battalion came. Claude noticed that his brochure had been replaced by a silver crescent instead of three green stars, which meant that Captain Leedfunk
He has been promoted, to major.
"You are very unlucky." Lieutenant Lieutenant, oh, Major said: "The eldest prince went to Wilf Hill with great interest, wanting to have a chat with you, the first hero in retaking the position, but it turned out that you were injured and killed.
Send him away, which makes him very disappointed. You said it is not good for you to get hurt when, but it is at this critical moment. How many people want to show their talents in front of the big prince to get his favor and appreciation, but it is better for you to show your talents.
He also gained the attention of the eldest prince, but was accidentally attacked and injured and lost the opportunity to meet the eldest prince..."
Seeing Claude staring at his epaulettes, Major Lederfonk shrugged: "Speaking of which, it's thanks to you that I got promoted to a higher rank. The eldest prince thinks that our ranger battalion played an important role in the battle to conquer Wilf Hill.
You have played a key role, so I ordered all the officers and soldiers of the Ranger Battalion to be promoted to the first level. You are now also an official second lieutenant officer of the kingdom. What a pity, if you had stayed on the battlefield to see the eldest prince uninjured, you might have been promoted.
For a lieutenant officer."
While feeling sorry for Claude, Major Lieutenant-General took out a cardboard box from the black leather bag he carried with him. Inside was a green star second lieutenant epaulette, and placed it in Claude's hand: "I have already done all the procedures for you.
It’s done, now you just need to rest assured and recover from your injuries, recover as soon as possible and return to camp to report to me.”
Claude picked up the epaulette and played with it in his hand. He understood the meaning of Major Leedfunk's words: "You are in charge of the Ranger Battalion now?"
"Yeah, I'm here to catch up, and I'm temporarily acting as the commander of the ranger battalion." Major Leedfunk sighed: "Lieutenant Colonel Roessler died on the battlefield, causing a big disturbance."
"Trouble? What do you mean..." Claude pretended not to understand anything, and also wanted to test the superiors' opinions on the strange death of Lieutenant Colonel Rosler: "By the way, before Lieutenant Colonel Rosler died on the battlefield,
What was going on with that strange transparent foam cover on his body? I was a little stunned at the time."
Major Redfonk looked around, put his head close to Claude, and whispered in his ear: "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. That's magic. There are people from special departments guarding the great prince."
, they thought that the foam cover on Lieutenant Colonel Rosler's body was some kind of long-range arrow protection spell. They later surveyed the battlefield, but because of the musket firing and gunpowder smoke, they could not find any magic marks of anyone using magic on the battlefield...
Later, they all agreed that Lieutenant Colonel Rosler should have bought a rune magic scroll inscribed with this long-range arrow protection spell. He thought this spell could protect against bullets fired by the enemy, so he used it on the battlefield.
This one-time rune magic scroll will be reduced to ashes after use, so those in the special department cannot detect the mark of magic on the battlefield.
It is said that the eldest prince who learned this conclusion yelled at Lieutenant Colonel Rosler in his camp that he was a fool and a donkey, and that he thought he was a smart fool. If the magic was useful, then the magicians hundreds of years ago would not be kicked out of the magic.
The continent of Rhea. The eldest prince said that fortunately, this fool used magic to attract the enemy's attention and was shot by a volley of fire. He died well. If he had not died, he might have destroyed all the soldiers in the ranger camp on the battlefield. Until now.
We haven’t recaptured Wilf Hill yet…”
Claude secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was only while he was lying in the treatment center that he remembered what was wrong with him using spells to kill Lieutenant Colonel Rosler on the battlefield. Because using spells would leave a magic mark on the place, next to the eldest prince
There must be guards from the special department. If they detect magic marks on the battlefield after the war, they can know who was standing in this position based on their memory. Claude has been a little worried during this time...
Unexpectedly, Major Leedfunk, who came to visit him today, brought him good news. No magic mark was found on the battlefield. But after thinking about it, Claude understood. To put it bluntly, the magic mark is like a breath.
Existence. When he used the Eye of Exploration before, he discovered that when using spells, the photons of magic elements in the air would be attracted and solidified together to form irregular traces that disappeared very slowly. This was the magic mark.
But on the battlefield, the air currents fired by muskets and the rising smoke will take away the photons of the magic elements that are condensed together, instead of slowly taking away the magic elements that are condensed together like wind and rain.
disappear.
"So how many people are left in our ranger camp this time?" No longer worried, Claude began to care about other things.
Major Leedfunk smiled bitterly: "Although I took over the position of battalion commander of the ranger battalion, now I am an empty battalion commander with less than thirty people under my command. Basically, they are still members of my logistics department.
…”
Claude was shocked: "What's going on? Didn't we still have nearly a hundred soldiers in our camp when we conquered Wilf Hill last time?"
"It's like this. Now we are more than just a ranger battalion. The eldest prince ordered the formation of three more ranger battalions and established a ranger regiment." Major Lieutenant Frank explained to Claude: "We are now the first ranger battalion.
The remaining soldiers in the battalion were all transferred to other battalions by the eldest prince after they were promoted to one level. They were used as seeds to allow the three battalions to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. As for the strength of our battalion, we have to wait for subsequent recruits to replenish it. Now
Those new recruits are still undergoing pre-war training at the rear, and it will take more than half a month to replenish them."
Major Lieutenant Commander said with some embarrassment: "I came to visit you today. Firstly, I want to give you this second lieutenant's epaulette. Secondly, there is something else I need your help with..."
Claude laughed and said sternly: "Major, you are my superior and my friend. I will try my best if I can do anything."
"It's like this." Major Leedfunk was not polite, and told Claude that he needed help. The main reason was that after the new recruits entered the camp, he was worried that these new recruits would not know Claude's tactics, and hoped that they would be able to defeat Claude.
Lord wrote a training outline for himself so that he could train the new recruits to adapt to the offensive and defensive tactics of the Ranger Battalion based on this outline.
This is simple. Claude promised to write a training syllabus for Major Leedfunk and hand it over to him three days later. It was nothing more than training the recruits to shoot lying down and load ammunition while lying down. However, he asked Major Leedfunk to give Belk
Lin was transferred back to the first battalion. After all, Belklin had been with Claude for the longest time. Basically, he knew ambush, concealment and other tactics. He needed to teach the recruits step by step during actual training. Training by just following the syllabus would probably lead to the opposite direction.
Major Leedfunk agreed to this request.
"By the way, you are now an official second lieutenant officer of the kingdom. According to regulations, you need to be accompanied by a guard and an orderly. I have brought them to you. They can take care of you in the hospital to recuperate." Before leaving, Lieutenant said.
Major Ke remembered something, walked to the door of the ward, waved, and brought two soldiers in.
Standing in front of Claude were the young man Michael Jack and the big man Germi.
Claude was not surprised when McJack appeared in front of him. Last time, he asked McJack to stay in the logistics department to hand over the prisoners to Major Leedfunk, and did not take him to the front line. And how come the big guy Germi is still alive, Claude
I really didn't expect that he was there when the formation was marching, and it seemed that he was lined up not far from Aboyev. But later when we occupied the enemy's position, we didn't see him, and we always thought that he had been sacrificed.
Thinking of Aboyev, Claude began to feel depressed. He was a good friend who left first, and his hearty smile will never be seen again...
Both Mike and Big Germi had an extra vertical line on their epaulettes. They had been promoted from private to corporal.
The big man Germi talked about his battlefield experience. On the battlefield that day, he fell down because of numbness in his body. As a result, he just avoided the enemy's first salvo of fire. Just as he was about to get up, his comrades on the left and right fell.
He fell down after being shot, and everything happened to fall on him. Unfortunately, the handle of the musket held by the soldier who fell on him first happened to hit the back of Gemie's head, and Gemie was on the spot.
He passed out. Later, the corpse collection team thought he was dead, grabbed his feet and tried to throw him on the corpse collection truck before he woke up. At that time, the corpse collection soldiers were shocked...
"I really passed out at that time, I wasn't pretending to be dead. If you don't believe me, look at the big swelling on the back of my head. Only half of the swelling has gone away now, and most of it is still behind..." the big man Gemie said aggrievedly.
.
"Okay, we believe you." Claude was a little curious: "But why don't you stay in the camp and insist on being my guard?"
In fact, as a formal second lieutenant officer of the kingdom, guards are generally assigned only for actual duties. A squadron has a full strength of fifty-three people. In addition to four squads of forty-eight people, the squadron leader is also equipped with orderlies, communications soldiers, and medical personnel.
Soldiers and guards. Among them, the pay for servicemen and guards is signed by the squadron leader. Basically, only the squadron leader's close associates can assume these two positions.
Most of the second lieutenants who serve as squadron leaders are not equipped with guards during peacetime, leaving only an orderly to take care of the chores around them, so that they can have an extra military salary at their disposal. Only when war comes, they will choose to be close to the soldiers.
They serve as guards, while communication soldiers and medical soldiers are professional arms and are generally assigned by the battalion headquarters.
The big man Gemi rubbed the back of his head and said shyly: "I don't have enough to eat in the camp, so I can only fill my stomach by following you..."
Well, this guy is a big eater. A big man can eat four people, and his strength has increased. If it were in ancient times, he would be a fierce general, but now is the age of muskets, and he has no use for it. No matter how strong he is, he can still do it.
He can't withstand a musket blow, and he really doesn't have enough to eat as a soldier in the camp. Forget it, let him follow you.
Claude's thigh was stabbed in half by a riding sword, so he had to stay in the treatment center for a relatively long time to recover from his injuries, and it was inconvenient for him to walk. Just in time, McJack and the big man Germi came to take care of him.
, this is also the kindness of Major Leedfunk, for which Claude expressed his deep gratitude.
