When Vericro left, Claude went to see him off, but the two didn't have much to say. They just hugged each other tightly, said "Take care!" and separated. Captain Mentasque, on the other hand, held Claude's hand.
Lord's hand kept talking, and after two days of contact, Captain Mentasker had already regarded Claude as his confidant. For example, his method of marking lines and grooves on the shell shells allowed the shells to fall to the ground and explode with fragments to injure them.
The enemy's method is simply a genius idea, and it perfectly solves the problem of insufficient explosion power of artillery shells.
Looking at the leaving figures of the Guards officers, Claude sighed deeply. He was a little worried about Vericro, just like last night, after his persuasion, Vericro finally took him to give him a massage.
The maid went to the small room next to her to relax for a while, but when she came back an hour later, she felt like she had lost a battle, and she felt very exhausted. It was not like Captain Mentasco and his two ladies, who came back in high spirits and started non-stop.
bragging...
There are no psychiatrists in this world. If Vericro really suffers from battlefield syndrome, he needs to get out of his psychological shadow on his own. Claude felt that Vericro's whole body was a little too tense and he did not relax.
Maybe he hasn't learned to self-regulate, and it is easy for him to have psychological problems if he is always tense. But Claude can't do anything. He can only remind him by tapping on the side. This requires Vericro to find a way for him to regain his energy.
Way to relax.
During the next day, Claude took Michael Jack and the big man Gimi for a large purchase in Pacasia City. In the end, he bought a freight carriage because he bought too many things. Fortunately, the three southern counties arrived at Squirrel Village.
The mountain road has been repaired by Claude and ordered by the prisoners, and the road has been widened and smoothed so that the four-wheeled freight carriage can pass. Claude decided to sell the freight carriage to the village elder of Squirrel Village after returning.
, it just so happened that he needed a large carriage that could transport goods.
He was pulled into the tent by his adjutant. Claude was too embarrassed to go in, so he turned around and went back to his tent.
When he set off back to camp the next day, Lieutenant Colonel Leedfunk was stunned by the four-wheeled freight carriage loaded with cargo driven by MacJack and the big man Germi.
"Claude, have you spent all the prize money you got from the last victory?" Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lederfang estimated that such a large carriage would cost at least thirty or forty gold crowns. If there are many luxury and valuable items,
If so, the price may double.
"Probably about the same." Claude didn't even keep count. The bill was all paid by Michael. It seemed that he had paid the bill last night, and it should have cost about fifty gold crowns.
"You are still young, so you should spend your money sparingly and not spend lavishly on whatever you see. You were lucky to win last time and there was nothing unexpected. You should save such a large bonus. It will cost a lot to start a family and start a business in the future.
Claude knew that he was out of good intentions. Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Leedfonk was born as a civilian, and his salary was basically saved. It was said that he still needed to supplement some living expenses for his parents and several brothers and sisters. So he nodded:
"I won't spend money carelessly in the future. Thank you for your advice. By the way, sir, how is your marriage going? Is it settled?"
The topic was successfully changed. As expected, Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lederfonk forgot about the goods of the large four-wheeled freight carriage that Claude purchased, and instead talked endlessly about the person he met at the dance. According to his description
, this woman nicknamed Yali is actually a widow, and she has a four-year-old daughter, who is 27 years old this year. Her husband died in a shipwreck, they had just been married for two years, and Yali was about to give birth. Her husband
She spent a lot of money to urge the ship to sail at night and wanted to rush home to be by her side to watch her children being born. Unexpectedly, the ship was traveling too fast and collided with a warship sailing at night. Her husband unfortunately fell into the water because he was standing on the bow of the ship.
Death.
The tragic death of her husband made Yali devastated, but for the sake of her newborn daughter, she persisted and took over a large share of the family business left by her husband. She just lost her husband to protect her from wind and rain, and
Her rich family property attracted a lot of coveted and greedy eyes, so her life in the past few years was not very comfortable. This time, one of her relatives forced her to attend the dance, but she did not expect that she would meet with Leedfunk.
They met in school and the two had a very pleasant conversation.
Claude was a little strange: "You don't mind her identity? Oh, I mean she also has a little daughter..."
Lieutenant Colonel Lederfonk did not understand what Claude meant, but Claude came to his senses on his own and slapped his forehead. This world is not like the previous life, where a single man would encounter rumors when he married a widow for the first time.
.This is a normal thing in this world. Take the Kingdom of Ovelas as an example. Every war can create a large number of widows in the country, and soldiers need to serve in the army for fifteen years before retiring, so many three-year-olds
It is not unusual for teenage soldiers to marry widows after returning home from the service...
"Her daughter is very cute, like a little angel. I am happy to be her stepfather..." Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lederfenko said with a smile. He was willing to be the successor.
"Then I can only wish that your wishes will come true." Claude said with a smile.
The return trip took one day longer than the arrival, mainly because the four-wheeled freight carriage delayed the trip, but Claude still returned to Squirrel Village two days before the welcome night.
One-third of the goods in the carriage were purchased for Claude's little lover, the mage Sheila. Although she is a magician, Sheila is still a woman. She is holding the beautiful new clothes and jewelry that Claude bought for her.
Overjoyed, Claude enjoyed several beautiful, romantic and passionate nights.
Five hundred and seventy-nine years of the Holy Light Calendar have passed like this, and the war in the eastern part of Farea is still raging. Claude spent time in Squirrel Village with his little lover, the mage Sheila, and a large group of soldiers.
Welcome night. During this year, he won a battle, was promoted to captain, and received the Medal of Knights. Then he was stationed in Squirrel Village for more than half a year. If possible, he hopes to stay here next year for peace and quiet.
There are other high-level positions. But Claude did not become the acting battalion commander. Another officer was parachuted in to take up this position. Claude went to the battalion headquarters firstly to get to know the new battalion commander, and secondly.
It is to accept a new combat mission.
To be honest, Claude really doesn't want Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Leedfunk to leave the 1st Ranger Battalion. It is rare to have a good boss. Since Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Leedfunk served as the battalion commander of the 1st Ranger Battalion, it has been the best time for Claude in his military career.
At the same level, continuing to serve as the chief officer of the 1st Ranger Battalion would feel like a high-level position and a low-level job, which seemed inappropriate.
Unexpectedly, the person who came to serve as the commander of the 1st Ranger Battalion turned out to be someone Claude knew, Captain Skerry, who had served as the chief inspector of the Joint Investigation Team. Claude had heard from Lieutenant Colonel Lederfunk that Captain Skerry
He is the most trusted adjutant around Prince Hansback. Unexpectedly, he was sent to the 1st Ranger Battalion to serve as the battalion commander.
"Sir, where are you going to serve next?" Seeing the joy on Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel's face, Claude guessed that the place where he would serve next would be good.
"I was going to Pakasia City. His Royal Highness formed a joint military supervisory office to prepare to integrate all the military industries in the three counties in the south. I went to the deputy director." Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant said with a smile.
This was a good job, but Claude immediately understood why Lieutenant Colonel Leedfonk was so happy: "Congratulations, sir, I think the day will come soon when you will bring your beauty home."
This guy is so happy just because he can find that beautiful widow to be his father when he returns to Pacasia City. He is so unscrupulous, Claude thought angrily.
"Hello, Captain Claude, I'm glad to see you." Captain Skerry next to him saluted Claude and then extended his hand. Although they are battalion commanders, they have the same military rank.
So Captain Scree's salute first does not mean that he is lower than Claude.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to greet you just now." Claude quickly returned the greeting to Captain Skerry and shook his hand: "Captain Skerry, it's an honor to work with you, but why were you sent here?
, wouldn’t it be better to be with His Highness?”
Captain Skerry smiled bitterly: "It's good to be with His Highness, but promotion is too slow."
He nodded at Lieutenant Colonel Ledfunk: "I was also stimulated by this guy. Two years ago, he had the same rank of captain as me. But now look, he has been promoted to the Ranger Camp by two levels. I
He was still standing still. Now when I saw him, I had to stand at attention, salute him, and call him sir. So I asked His Highness to be discharged from the army, but His Highness said that he would find me someone who could be promoted the fastest, so he sent me here.
Already..."
Captain Skerry's frankness made Claude very fond of him. Lieutenant Colonel Lederfunk went over and put his arm around Captain Skerry's shoulders: "Your Highness is right. If you want to be promoted, you have come here. You just have to do it."
Just two things are enough, one is to trust Claude, and the other is to make good logistical supplies for him, and then you can wait for promotion. Of course, there is also a prerequisite, that is, you must receive a combat mission from above.
Otherwise, if you want to be promoted, you won’t be able to achieve any meritorious service.”
Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lederfenko was always worried about the fact that the frontline headquarters did not assign combat tasks to the 1st Ranger Battalion in the second half of last year. He did not forget to give those people some eye drops before leaving. Captain Skerry was a close confidant of the eldest prince. If he
If they react in front of the eldest prince, the staff officers at the frontline headquarters will have to ask for trouble.
"I will do it." Captain Skerry nodded to Claude: "Actually, I came here with a combat mission."
"Okay, you two will discuss this, and I won't listen. After all, I am no longer a member of the 1st Ranger Battalion." Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lederfenko left happily.
"That's it," Captain Skree walked to the map hanging on the wall and found the Karrnath Steppe, which is the map of the Principality of Karrnath. "Now that the battle situation on the front line has stabilized, the principality of Rimodra
Hundreds of thousands of anti-Austrian coalition forces have been attacked by the Kingdom's army from both sides. The Grand Duke Castle of Braviso, the capital of the Eskiline Principality, has also been surrounded by us. It is estimated that it will be captured by the Kingdom's army after the rainy season. So what is left now
These are the two enemies, the Principality of Karrnath and the Kingdom of Nasseri.
The Principality of Karrnath has a grassland terrain and is rich in light cavalry. His Highness believes that since the outbreak of the war, the Principality of Karrnath has provided light cavalry to the anti-Austrian alliance countries to assist in combat operations. Currently, there are two light cavalry regiments in the Kingdom of Nasseri, which are
There were nearly 100,000 light cavalrymen from the Principality of Karrnath who besieged the Principality of Rimodra. Including those destroyed by our kingdom's army, the total number was approximately 300,000.
The frontline headquarters believes that the more than 300,000 light cavalry of the Principality of Karrnath are already the largest force they can provide, and they must be extremely empty internally. However, currently all the legions of the Kingdom have their own tasks and cannot send troops to Karrnath.
The Principality. Therefore, His Highness decided to let the four ranger battalions serve as the vanguard to test the reality of the Principality of Karnas and enter the prairie..."
Send troops to the Principality of Karnas? Claude will understand after thinking about it. Now that the overall situation of the other principalities has been decided, the Kingdom of Nasseri will definitely be the last one, so there will be no choice for the next target. Karnas
The principality cannot escape. Let four battalions of Rangers enter the prairie to test the strength of the Principality of Karrnath. The main reason is that the combat effectiveness of the Ranger battalions is relatively strong, so it is very suitable to serve as the vanguard.
"Where do we start from?" Claude asked.
"As soon as our battalion entered the Karnas Prairie from the mountain road, the exit was the territory of several nobles in the Principality of Karnas. We can sweep these territories to test the enemy's strength. If the enemy gathers a large number of troops to besiege, we need to find a place
Stand firm and wait for reinforcements. If there are not many enemies, defeat them and continue to search the surrounding areas.
As for the second, third and fourth battalions of the Rangers, they will march from the eastern border area of the Principality of Eskilen to the Principality of Karrnath. They will be divided into three groups to explore the situation on the prairie and conquer Karrnath for the army of our kingdom.
The principality has made preparations for pre-war reconnaissance. His Highness believes that this is the first time we have come into contact with the grassland landscape, and it is entirely up to us to decide whether to advance or retreat." Captain Skerry explained the combat mission of the 1st Ranger Battalion.
Claude looked at the map and thought for a while: "I understand, but I need some equipment before setting off."
