Sergeant Siegfried was Captain Durrioro's adjutant. He hurriedly knocked on the door and entered Claude's room: "Captain Claude, someone from the Military Justice Department of the frontline headquarters is here to take away the four fake officers."
Our commander rejected his request and is now confronting them in the battalion headquarters office..."
Claude understood that this was Captain Durrioro asking him to rush for reinforcements. He stood up and ordered a signal soldier to have Diaverde's squadron rush to the local security camp in full force and not allow the military law enforcement officers of the frontline headquarters to arrive.
They took away the four criminals. Then they went out and took Sergeant Siegfried to Captain Durrioro's battalion office. They happened to meet Murray Ed on the way, and he followed Claude naturally.
Go back and watch the fun.
Unexpectedly, those noble officers would move so quickly. It had only been three days since Lieutenant Perenger who came to deliver the gift had left, and the people from the Military Justice Department came to take away the four unlucky guys. Claude had been to the south where the frontline headquarters was located.
The journey from Squirrel Village to Pacasia City, the county seat of Palo Alto County among the three counties, takes three days and two nights. This is the speed of a horse-drawn carriage. If you drive faster, it will also take two days and one night.
.
It seems that those noble officers have been prepared for the failure of Lieutenant Perenger's trip. It is very likely that the personnel of the General Law Department have been arranged in the towns near the mountain crossing road. Lieutenant Perenger rushed to the mountain as soon as he left Squirrel Village and crossed the mountain road.
The towns there met with the people from the Military Law Office, so in such a short period of time the people from the Military Law Office rushed to the camp of the Squirrel Village Local Security Battalion.
In the corridor outside Captain Durrioro's office stood a small group of military policemen wearing red military uniforms with black upper and lower parts. Their cuffs had three black ribbons, which are the special symbols of the Military Police. Claude was on the stairs.
I heard someone roaring in the office: "Captain Durrioro, you must hand over the prisoner to us to take away..."
Two gendarmes stood at the entrance of the stairs, probably because they had been ordered to deny others entry into the office. But when the two gendarmes saw the epaulettes of Claude and Muriel, they hurriedly raised their hands to salute and stepped aside. They were given the order.
The officers leading the Military Justice Department forgot that these military police could only stop soldiers with the same rank as them, but they could not stop officers from entering the office.
"What's going on?" Claude pushed open the office door and entered, followed by Murield who closed the door.
There were only three people in the office. Captain Durrioro sat behind his desk and said nothing. He couldn't help but look surprised when he saw Claude and the two coming in. The other two should be from the Military Law Department of the frontline headquarters.
Two officers were leading the team. One was a lieutenant. He looked to be in his mid-twenties and had a mustache on his face. He was sitting calmly on the single sofa in the office, enjoying a glass of fruit wine.
The other second lieutenant is a strong and sturdy man with a face full of flesh. It seems that the roar just heard was made by this man. He is standing in front of Captain Durioro's desk. Obviously, Durio
The pressure that Captain Luo suffered came from this vicious second lieutenant officer.
"Who let you in, get out!" The fierce-looking second lieutenant officer did not see clearly the epaulettes of Claude and Muriel. He just pointed at the door when someone came in and told them to get out.
Don't hinder them from doing their job.
Claude's eyes widened, but before he could say anything, Murield, who was behind him, rushed to the front, opened his mouth and cursed: "You're blind, you bastard! Where did you come from? How dare you tell the superior officer to get out, I'll offend you. Okay."
How brave!”
Only then did the rough second lieutenant officer realize that Murray Ed wore the same second lieutenant epaulettes as he did. He was not afraid that he had insulted an officer of the same rank. However, when he saw Claude's captain's epaulettes clearly, he quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Apology: "Sorry, Captain, I didn't see clearly just now. I thought it was my subordinates who came in, so I scolded them for disobeying orders. Please punish me, sir..."
Claude just looked at him coldly and didn't reply: "You slap two people in your face, and you won't do it again!"
"Yes, follow the order." The ferocious-looking second lieutenant officer was straightforward, and he directly hit his face with two "slaps", and his cheeks immediately became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the army of the Kingdom of Ovelas, the following crimes are neither serious nor trivial. Generally speaking, as long as they are caught on the spot, the superior officer will basically punish him in person. Like Claude, the second lieutenant officer will only be punished by himself
Slap twice on the mouth is considered a very normal behavior. Some perverted officers will go out of their way to find trouble with soldiers, asking them to stand on their heads, bark like dogs, or even do hundreds of push-ups in the street. This forced the Ministry of War to issue a special report on
The regulations on punishment for the following crimes limit the punishment of Shangguan within a certain reasonable range.
Claude turned his attention to the mustached lieutenant sitting on the sofa. This lieutenant was very knowledgeable and had already put down his wine glass and stood at attention. When Claude looked at him, he raised his hand and saluted: "Salute to you.
Knight Claude."
Claude returned the greeting: "You seem to know me?"
The mustached lieutenant officer smiled and replied: "Of course, I can't think of any other name besides you for the captain officer who can stand here and wear the knighthood medal."
He is also a captain, but Captain Durrioro, the commander of the local security battalion, is one level lower than the official rank. There is no way. This is a default rule in the Royal Army. Compared with the rank of the regular army, the military rank of the local security battalion is lower than that of the regular army.
It is automatically lowered by one level. So Captain Durrioro needs Claude to help suppress the situation, otherwise he will not have the confidence to confront these two officers from the Military Justice Department of the frontline headquarters. Because his rank of captain is in this mustache
In front of the lieutenant officer, he could only be regarded as an equal, but because the opponent was from the frontline headquarters, he was automatically one level higher, so the fierce-looking second lieutenant officer had the courage to roar in front of him.
Claude is different. He is a captain officer of the 1st Ranger Battalion. He is directly under the frontline command and is under the personal command and deployment of the eldest prince. He is an experimental independent combat unit in the regular army of the kingdom. His status is no lower than that of the officers of the frontline command.
, In addition, he also wears the Knight Medal. Not to mention that the two officers coming this time are lieutenants and second lieutenants, even the captain must salute Claude first.
Claude nodded: "Are you two from the Military Justice Department of the Frontline Command? Please show your officer ID and identity certificate."
"You..." The second lieutenant officer with red and swollen cheeks wanted to say something. It was obvious that he was very angry, but he was stopped by the stern eyes of the mustached lieutenant officer.
"Yes, please check. This is our military officer's ID card and identification document." The mustached lieutenant officer readily took out his military officer's ID card and identity document.
The military officer's ID card is not big. It only briefly records several contents such as military rank, name, age, unit and unit to which it belongs. The identity document is twice as big as the military officer's ID card, and it records in detail the person's appearance, height, specialties, graduation internship, etc.
Unit and other information, as well as his position in the frontline command post.
"Lieutenant Jiprek Shah Levenst, staff officer of the Military Justice Department of the frontline headquarters..." Claude read.
"It's me, Knight Claude." Lieutenant Officer Mustached smiled and nodded.
"Check it again." Claude handed the officer's ID card and identification document to Captain Durrioro, and then said to Lieutenant Lieutenant Mustachio: "Sorry, Lieutenant Jiprek, we have to be more cautious now.
, after all, there was an incident of impersonating an officer a few days ago, I believe you have heard of it. That’s why we will verify and check your identity again and again, because we don’t want to make the same mistake again and become the object of ridicule by others..."
Lieutenant Jiprek smiled awkwardly: "It should be, it should be, be careful and you won't make a big mistake."
"Where's yours?" Claude turned to the rough second lieutenant.
This second lieutenant officer with a fierce face and a stout body is not from a noble family. His name is Bekimilo Nitaya, and he is also from the Military Justice Department of the frontline headquarters. However, he is not a staff officer, but an execution officer. It seems that the man in the corridor
The small group of military police is under his command.
Captain Durrioro had already checked the military certificates and identification documents of the two people. He nodded to Claude, indicating that there was no problem with the identity of the two people.
"Okay, I believe you are from the Military Justice Department of the Frontline Command. So what business do you two have here?" Claude turned his back on guests and automatically took the place of Captain Durrioro, the landowner.
Lieutenant Jiprek looked at Captain Durrioro first and saw that he had no reaction. He seemed to have given the leadership here to Claude. He had no choice but to smile helplessly: "That's it, Knight Claude.
We were conducting a military discipline inspection in Alfister County. When we came to Rosa Town, we heard that there was a case of impersonating an official officer of the Kingdom. We rushed over to pick up the prisoners and prepare to take them back to the frontline headquarters for review by the Military Justice Department..."
Claude laughed: "Oh, that's the thing. No wonder you lost your temper at Captain Durrioro. Is it because he doesn't want to hand over the prisoner to you? This actually has nothing to do with him. This prisoner
I have the final say on this matter, so even if he agrees to hand over the prisoner to you, it won't work."
Lieutenant Jiprek's face suddenly darkened: "Knight Claude, what do you mean by this? Do you want to interfere with our performance of official duties? This is a violation of military discipline, and you should know the consequences!"
"Performing official duties? Haha..." Claude sneered: "Since you said you were performing official duties, well, please bring me the authorization letter and the order to transfer the prisoner to the prisoner. There is no transfer to the prisoner issued by the Ministry of War.
With the official document of authorization and the order of the Grand Prince, you can’t even think of extracting prisoners from us.”
"Knight Claude, please don't make trouble unreasonably." Lieutenant Jiprek said in a stern voice: "It is our duty to extract prisoners and bring them to the Military Justice Department for review. No authorization documents or orders from the Supreme Commander are required. Please cooperate with our law enforcement work.
Transfer those four criminals to us, otherwise, we will punish you for interfering with official duties in accordance with military discipline!"
"The crime of interfering with official duties? What a big crime..." Claude didn't look afraid at all: "Don't think I don't know. Those four criminals were originally directly affiliated with the frontline headquarters. As colleagues, at this time
You should avoid suspicion, instead of rushing over to extract the prisoner. Does this mean you want to wipe your own butts?
If the prisoner is transferred to you, I believe that we will never hear the follow-up of this case again. If we ask, the reply we will get is that there is no such thing. So I am sorry, gentlemen, you have never heard of it.
You should go back to where you came from, this is no longer something you can get involved in, nor is it a case you can be responsible for."
Lieutenant Jiprek looked at Claude fiercely: "Knight Claude, let me ask again, do you really want to hinder us from performing our official duties?"
"Oh, are you performing official duties?" Claude shook his head: "I have not hindered you from performing official duties. I only ask you to complete the procedures for performing official duties. Please show the authorization document transferred to the prisoner and the order of the supreme commander. I will immediately
The prisoners will be handed over to you for processing."
"Very good, Knight Claude." Lieutenant Jiprek stared at Claude and said word by word: "You are now charged with obstructing official duties and obstructing law enforcement. In the name of the Military Justice Department, I announce that you have been arrested. Please follow.
Let’s go to the frontline headquarters for review!”
"What the hell!" Meride, who was standing next to him, was furious. He suddenly punched Lieutenant Jiprek in the face and knocked him to the ground. The incident happened so suddenly that no one expected it.
Reed would be so impulsive. Claude hurriedly hugged him to prevent him from going forward. The crime of beating a superior military judge was not a small crime.
"You... ugh... dare to hit... hit me..." Lieutenant Jiprek fell to the ground and covered his face. Muriel's punch hit the bridge of his nose, which seemed to have been crooked.
His nose was bleeding everywhere. He finally got up from the ground, his eyes filled with hatred and anger, pointing at Claude and Muriel and shouting: "Arrest them, Second Lieutenant Becky Milo, why are you still standing there!"
"
"Yes, sir." Second Lieutenant Becky Milo, who was stout and fierce-looking, did not rush forward. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and touched it. A short blunderbuss appeared in his hand. The other left hand was not idle either.
A match was struck on the table nearby, the flame lit up, and then the match rope on the blunderbuss was lit.
"Hands up!" Second Lieutenant Becky Milo pointed the blunderbuss at Claude and Muriel.
"Bang!" The sound of muskets sounded in the office.
Claude looked at his own body in surprise, and then at the body of Murield standing in front of him, but found no wounds.
With a "plop", Second Lieutenant Becky Milo fell to the ground, with a bloody bullet hole on his face. The blunderbuss in his hand also fell to the ground, and the match rope on it was still slowly falling.
Burning, not in firing state...
Claude turned around and looked back, only to see Captain Durioro holding a smoking gun in his hand and looking at the body of Second Lieutenant Becky Milo on the ground in a daze. When Claude looked at him, Durioro
Captain Luo murmured his defense: "I, I just wanted to hit him on the hand, but I didn't expect to hit him on the face..."
"You, you actually, actually killed Second Lieutenant Becky Milo..." Lieutenant Jiprek was trembling. Now that a life had been lost, the matter had really become a big deal. He didn't even feel that he was
His nose hurt, he pointed at Claude and screamed loudly: "Someone, come quickly!"
The door opened, but to Lieutenant Jiprek's surprise, what came in was not the military police who came with them, but the heavily armed Diavid.
"Where are the gendarmes at the door?" Claude asked.
"We were disarmed and they were all squatting in the hall downstairs." Diaverde replied nonchalantly.
"What to do now?" Claude asked Captain Durrioro.
Captain Durrioro finally came to his senses and pointed at Lieutenant Jiprek: "Arrest him first. I will immediately send a falcon message to the Ministry of War, accusing the two of them of trying to kidnap us and force us under the guise of military discipline inspection."
We release the four prisoners who pretended to be official officers of the kingdom..."
