Throughout June, this area known as the Land of Lords' Freedom was very peaceful and seemed to have been forgotten. In fact, this area located at the foot of the Daqing Mountains was more accurately said to be abandoned than forgotten.
From west to east, all you see are deserted huts and shacks, with no people around, like a ghost village. The deserted fields are covered with weeds, covering up the paths that have been trodden by pedestrians.
The ditches that were carefully maintained and dredged were buried and blocked by the dust and sand carried by the strong winds blowing from the prairie...
In the entire region, only the territory of the former Earl of Leucade Barclaus, which is located in the center and closest to Daqing Mountain, still has a vibrant scene. People are still plowing the fields here, and there are still people plowing the orchards here.
Reasonably, various vegetables are grown on the farms here. In the woods at the foot of Daqing Mountain, some people are logging and burning charcoal, and on the hillside, some people are grazing sheep.
Claude admired Captain Skerry's ability to handle these trivial matters. Although he could handle them, he hated dealing with these trivial chores. This time he accompanied Captain Skerry to inspect the entire area, and upon his return he received good news.
, because of their contribution to occupying this area, all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Ranger Battalion were awarded a first-level meritorious service, and Captain Skerry was promoted to major officer.
In the evening, Major Scree drank a little too much, and he took Claude to review his life. He was born in a noble family, and his father was a viscount, but he was an illegitimate son. His father had an affair with a married woman.
Fortunately, his biological mother's husband went to the Nubisian continent and did not come back for four years. Therefore, the news that his biological mother gave birth to him could be concealed, but she could not take him with her to raise him, so she could only
Leave him to be raised by his adulterer.
Although the Viscount's father recognized Major Skerry as his son, Major Skerry had not received much love from him since he was a child. His status in the family was not even as good as that of a servant, and he was often criticized by the so-called direct descendants of his half-brother.
He was bullied by his brothers and sisters, who called him a bastard. This can be seen from the fact that Major Skerry's name does not have the word "bestow" from the nobleman.
Fortunately, there was still a grandmother. The mother of the Viscount's father was a sensible old woman. She protected Major Skerry's childhood and youth, and used her own savings to send Major Skerry to school when he was fourteen years old.
He entered the Youth Military Academy in the royal capital and encouraged him to strive for a bright future for himself.
Major Skerry graduated from the military academy at the age of twenty and entered the Guards Corps as a trainee second lieutenant. That year, his beloved grandmother passed away. At the funeral, he once again clashed with his brothers and sisters.
He was afraid that he would come to divide the inheritance left by his grandma. From then on, he cut off the last ties with the aristocratic family. For this reason, he even removed the surname that made him feel ashamed and became a nameless person.
people.
After staying in the Guards for eight years, Major Skerry was finally promoted to a captain. In that year, he won the favor of Prince Hansback and transferred him to his side to become his personal adjutant. Major Skerry said that he
He can't forget what the eldest prince said to him. The eldest prince said that it doesn't matter whether you have a name or not. You can win a great surname for yourself through your own efforts, and your descendants will be honored by your surname.
.
It was this sentence that made Major Skerry become a die-hard loyalist to the eldest prince. But beyond his expectation, staying with the eldest prince was not the beginning of his career, but the hard work of qualifications year after year.
. He has served the eldest prince for six years, and every year he can only get one second-level merit assessment for his diligent and conscientious high-quality service. In six years, there are a total of six second-level merits, which is equivalent to two first-level merits. That is
He said that if he wanted to be promoted to major with the eldest prince, he would have to wait for another three years...
Seeing that his colleagues who were not as good as him in the past were promoted one after another in this war, of course, many died on the battlefield. However, the promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel finally stimulated his competitive spirit. Although it was safe to stay with the eldest prince
It was guaranteed, but promotion was too slow. He thought about it again and again, and finally proposed to the eldest prince his wish to detach his troops and go to the front line to make a better future.
The eldest prince fulfilled his request and transferred him to the 1st Ranger Battalion to become the battalion commander. The eldest prince said that it should be easy for him to get promoted here, but it might also be very dangerous. It turned out that he had only been in the 1st Ranger Battalion for half a year.
During that time, he received a first-level meritorious service for occupying this area abandoned by the nobles of the Principality of Karnas. In addition to the previous two first-level meritorious service, he accumulated three times and was promoted to the rank of major.
Major Skerry really drank too much. Perhaps the long-awaited promotion made him finally let go. He has been working hard for six years from captain to major. If he still stays with the eldest prince, he still needs to wait.
In three years, he will be about thirty-seven years old by then. At this rate, it is very likely that he will not be promoted to colonel by the age of fifty. Perhaps he can only retire as a lieutenant colonel and buy a farm to live quietly.
Throughout his life, this would be very different from his desire to stand out and fight for himself. He didn't want to let himself down...
Claude was embarrassed because Major Scree kept asking him to talk about his life experience and his dreams. At the same time, he also apologized to Claude. He did not mean to come to the 1st Ranger Battalion to snatch the position of battalion commander. Originally,
He himself felt embarrassed to be the commander of this ranger battalion as a captain, because Claude was also a captain and a recipient of the Knight Medal. Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Liedfunk.
It is natural for a major officer to serve as the battalion commander, or it may be better for Claude to act as the battalion commander.
But the eldest prince chose to let him, a captain, be the battalion commander, so that he always felt a little embarrassed, as if he had taken Claude's position as battalion commander. So he asked Claude to obey everything.
Shun, trying hard to prevent himself and Claude from having any conflicts. He grinned and smelled of alcohol and told Claude that he thought he was no match for Claude in a fight because he couldn't replicate it under the same conditions.
That great victory in Squirrel Village. If he had defended Squirrel Village, he would have been able to hold on for a few days at most, and then the whole army would be wiped out and all the officers and soldiers would die heroically...
Claude could only smile bitterly. In fact, he had never thought about climbing up the ladder at all. Why would he be a battalion commander? He would have more things to worry about. Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Ledfunk was a logistics officer, and Major Skerry was the eldest prince's personal adjutant.
They all have enough patience to deal with trivial chores and mediate personnel disputes in the camp. And because they have been in the army for a long time, they have certain human relationships in the army. When problems arise, they will receive care and help from their colleagues.
And Claude has only been in the army for a little over three years. He started participating in this war as a sergeant. By chance, he was promoted so quickly because of his military exploits. Not only did he become a captain, he also received a knighthood. But in the army
, he has no foundation. Even if he gets the attention of the eldest prince, he is more jealous of others.
In a large group of the 1st Ranger Battalion, Claude is said to have a one-stop existence. Both officers and soldiers below are willing to serve. This is his team. But if he becomes the acting battalion commander, then his orders may be
The second, third, and fourth brigades could not be implemented effectively. Because the captains of those three brigades were all newly transferred to the 1st Ranger Battalion, they also had the rank of captain, and most of the soldiers were new recruits. Claude wanted to establish
His own authority still needs time and intrigue to conquer the three fellow captains. However, Claude is impatient to deal with these interpersonal relationships. In the spare time he has, he would rather spend more time with his little lover, the mage Sheila.
After the victory in Squirrel Village, Claude took the time to ask Michael Jack to take the big man Gimi to the town, and equipped the young mage Sheila's newly built wooden house in the Witch Wood with various decorations and metal accessories. At the same time, he purchased
A large amount of materials were needed to decorate the new house. Then after everything was completed, the young mage Sheila moved into the new home. On that moonlit night, after the two of them drank a bottle of celebratory wine, the young mage collapsed on Crow
In De's arms, in a passionate kiss, he handed over his pure and flawless body to Claude...
This is the girl that Claude really fell in love with in this other world. He doesn't know if this is true love. In his previous life, his beloved wife betrayed him, and his boss, who had the same problem as him, took him around all kinds of sensual places.
He has seen all kinds of bizarre betrayals and experienced countless women himself, so much so that he has become an old driver. The relationship between men and women is nothing more than a physiological need for him. He thinks that he can no longer
I won't be emotional about this anymore.
After coming to this different world, he gained family affection. Although this body and the blood-related elder brother really annoyed him, the love of his parents was real. The brother-sister relationship between his younger sister and younger brother still allowed him to integrate into that family.
among.
At the same time, there is also the friendship between Vericro, Bockar and him, and the attachment of the girl Caifuni to him. The one who makes Claude feel most conflicted is Caifuni. The girl is the first love of the original owner of this body.
But after Claude traveled through time, he had no feelings for her. It's not that Caifuni is not beautiful, the girl is very pretty and lovely, has a good figure, a gentle personality, and is very virtuous. She is the best person to have children and run a household.
Partner selection.
But the problem was that Claude didn't have any feelings for her. It wasn't until Kaifani saw through his identity as a magician and poured her love into him that Claude felt such pity and hugged him.
With a dispensable attitude, before he left home to join the army, he gave her a promise to marry her when he came back, and left the financial path he had left in his hometown of Bailu Town to her to take care of.
If he hadn't met Sheila in Squirrel Village, the girl who really made Claude's heart beat, maybe he would have really returned to White Deer Town to marry Kaifuni after the war. But now Claude is in a dilemma, and with Sheila
Together, the two of them have a common language. At least they are both magicians. They can help each other on the road of exploring magic. And if he goes back to marry Caifuni as his wife, then Claude will have to worry about his identity being exposed in the future.
If so, this kind girl will be implicated...
Therefore, Claude has no interest in the position of battalion commander. He is not a loyal subject of the Sterling royal family. He is only on the battlefield because his home is in White Deer Town and he has to perform military service in the Kingdom of Ovelas. As for what
Loyalty to the royal family and making great contributions to the kingdom's unification of the eastern part of the continent seemed to him to be pure fart. He himself had no sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Ovilas, and he only participated in this war because of his relatives.
If possible, Claude would rather be stationed in Squirrel Village and work as a local security camp. It would be the best thing to be a salty fish and wait for the war to end. But it backfired, but the territorial nobles of the two principalities did not
Long Eye organized the coalition forces to come to him and give him merit, so that he was promoted to two levels in a row and received knighthood merit. This was not Claude's original intention. He originally just wanted to protect himself in this war so that he could survive until the war.
After the end.
To be honest, sometimes Claude feels that he is really lucky. For more than three years since the war broke out, Claude has always been lucky enough to avoid the battlefields with the heaviest casualties.
For example, Mrs. Maria sent a letter to the Blue Feather Corps, asking the top brass of the Blue Feather Corps to promote him to the rank of sergeant, and was ordered to form a treatment center guard team and a stretcher team. Later, the second prince came to supervise the army, and because of Mrs. Maria's
The 11th Field Battalion was entrusted by Claude to stay with him as a guard battalion, allowing Claude to avoid the bloody battle where the Blue Feather Army broke out on the Emilia Plains. You must know that in that battle,
The Blue Feather Legion suffered almost two-thirds casualties.
Then Claude's garrison squadron was thrown to the garrison camp of Ames City by the Blue Feather Legion like a burden. As a result, it was favored by Prince Hansback and entered the garrison camp instead of going to the front line like other second-line legions.
Fight for your life against the enemy's solid defensive line. In the ranger camp, the only person who had trouble with Claude was Lieutenant Colonel Rosler. The most dangerous battlefield adventure in Claude's life was the battle to attack Wilf Hill.
Claude will never forget the feeling he had when he was forced by Lieutenant Colonel Rosler to form a formation and walk towards the enemy's position. He felt that his life was at stake. As a soldier, he was forced to face the enemy's artillery fire and shooting at his own mercy.
It felt really bad. But with good luck, Claude didn't die. Instead, he used magic to kill Lieutenant Colonel Rosler on the battlefield, saving the lives of the innocent casualties, and at the same time using his creeping and shooting weapons.
Fa captured the enemy's position and became a second lieutenant officer.
From then on, Claude became like a fish in water in the 1st Ranger Battalion. Under the care of Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel, he lived very well. He really wanted to stay like this until the end of the war. However, after the victory in Squirrel Village, Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel.
Well, Claude was originally worried that he would become the acting battalion commander and disrupt his leisurely life. Now that Major Skerry is here, he is relieved, and it will not affect him to continue to be a salty fish...
