Conquest

    Chapter 60 [Promotion]

    When the remnant of the scouting cavalry returned to the thirteen cavalry Army station, everyone’s face was slightly relaxed.

    The military sent back was naturally sent by the captain in accordance with the military system, and Shaar was brought back to the guards by Kevin.

    Looking at the scouts who had fought together, the cavalry were quietly leaving, and Shaar suddenly had a lot of blockages. They came back in two days, and when they were on the road, they almost did not speak, an invisible fire in Shaar. The heart burned badly, and the more it burned, the more prosperous.

    Looking at the scouting cavalry, Shaar looked at the captain's back…

    He suddenly felt that he was lucky.

    At least, Old Man was in bed when he died, and he could bury him himself. And the captain's son – in order to hurry and come back, they don't even have time to bury the body!

    Shaar and Kevin didn't get the rest time. They just returned to the tent after returning to the guards. They hadn't had time to untie the armor. Someone else came to talk: General wants to see them, now.

    The second time I came to General Adrick's big tent, Shaar immediately felt the difference in the atmosphere. At the door of the big tent, the Praetorian Guard of the guards on duty was doubled, and everyone’s face was filled with a pre-war tension.

    While waiting for the briefing, Shaar and Kevin stood outside the big tent, and they heard the voice of angry shouting in the tent, and then there was a fierce quarrel.

    After a few moments, several generals came out of the big tent. Shaar recognized one of the flagship officers of the third Flag Battalion, the silver-haired middle-aged man he had seen last time, and the other ones must have It is the general of Flag Battalion, a member of the thirteenth Cavalry Army.

    When seven or eight people strode out, everyone looked different, some were worried, they didn't care, and some were full of anger. When they came over, Kevin immediately pulled Shaar, and the two retired and bowed.

    After these people went away, watching the doubts on Shaar's face, Kevin said: "It must be a pre-war meeting, and the following few Flag Battalion grabbed the striker for whom – this is a common thing. Looking at the look of Butler's flag officer Lord, probably the opportunity of this striker fell into his hands. ”

    The map on the wall in the big tent has been painted colorfully, and some dense military symbols have been marked in various regions, and these symbols have been painted in various colors.

    As soon as Shaar saw this map, which was already unrecognizable, he suddenly stopped and looked at the subconscious.

    This…Seems to be the symbol of the military map? I remember that Old Man's collection contained something about these things. Shaar looked at it when he was a child, and he used a map of Primal Wildfire to graffiti for a while.

    Well, the square symbol represents the resident's premises, the circular symbol represents the logistics facility, and the dotted line represents the logistics logistic line.

    There are also all triangles representing the height of each hill, and the ellipse represents the low-lying terrain. Some areas on the map are marked with a green small flag indicating the safe area that has been searched.

    And some places where a small fork is drawn indicate that there has been a small conflict with the enemy.

    Shaar couldn't help but feel a little fascinated, until Kevin pulled him next to him and he came back. Shaar looked up and saw General Adrick above looking at himself with a look of interest.

    The Tyrannical General was full of crimson light, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and he had a small dagger with a gold hilt in his hand, and was free to cut a thick piece of paper into pieces.

    He looked at Shaar, and the movements in his hand didn't stop. It took a long time to look at it. Even Shaar felt some scalp tingling, and General Adrick took back the bright scary eyes.

    "Can you understand the military symbols on these maps?"Adric caught the look of Shaar when he first came in to see the map.

    Shaar hesitated: "Know some."Next to Kevin, he curiously looked sideways at Shaar. Shaar took a breath: "These books I have seen have these things."

    "Great."Adrik nodded and picked up a charcoal pen and threw it to Shaar: "Show me the location where you encountered the Odin conflict in the picture."

    Shaar took the charcoal pen, did not hesitate, went to the map and found the location accurately, then drew a small fork symbol on it, thought about it, and marked a circular small circle symbol next to it…The last move made Adrik's eyes immediately show a satisfactory look.

    The last symbol on Shaar's painting, in the Byzantine Army symbol, represents the frontier of the enemy's search force.

    "It seems that you really understand these things."Adrik smiled. He took back his eyes and nailed his dagger on the table. His face was serious: "I know the result of your action this time." Well done

    His eyes are on Shaar: "You killed six Odin's Icefield Hunter alone?"

“……It is five. ”Shaar thought for a moment, his tone was calm: "I killed five, and one was injured by me, it was killed by Kevin."

    General nodded. He stood up and walked around the table and walked over to Shaar. The Tyrannical General was very burly. When standing in front of Shaar, Shaar felt that he was not alone but a lion. – Lion King!

    Adrik stared at Shaar: "Look up and stand up!"

    Then General pressed the rough hand on Shaar's shoulder and put a badge on Shaar's chest: "This is your rank."

    His tone is very serious: "You should have been a soldier, but given that you performed well in this mission, you killed five Odin people. According to the Emperor Law, I upgraded you to a sergeant."

    This badge is just a slightly polished black iron piece. Shaar didn't care much about this, but when he saw the black iron piece, he suddenly remembered the scout captain – his dead son, as if wearing it. This badge.

    "I hope you understand that here, this badge represents the glory, blood, sacrifice…"Adric’s voice is very majestic: “In addition, you killed five enemies. According to the Emperor’s Law, you can get a Black Iron Courage Medal, and the Military Law Department will declare it and will send it to you soon. ”

    Having said that, he suddenly turned to look at Kevin: "Kevin, how long have you got the first courage medal in the army?"

    Kevin seemed to be a little embarrassed. He grabbed his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't remember, but it should be after one year…"

    “Ha! It seems that this new kid is better than you! ”

    After Adrick finished, he walked back to the table: "Kevin, take this kid to pick up the new war horse, and, starting today, the guards are equipped with cavalry equipment!"

    Kevin's eyes immediately lit up: "General, are we going to attack?"

    Adek glanced at Kevin, his eyes looked like a smile, and Kevin immediately noticed, excitedly slamming his chest and pulling Shaar, who was still in a daze, ran away.

    Out of the tent, Shaar remembered asking Kevin what the courage medal was all about.

    According to Kevin's explanation, ordinary soldiers in the Imperial team can get a medal of courage if they can kill more than five people on the battlefield. This medal will also be the capital of the merits of future promotion.

    The Black Iron Courage Medal is awarded only to ordinary warriors without military positions. Once you become a military officer, you can no longer get this medal.

    In addition, the Black Iron Courage Medal has a special advantage: after the veterans who receive this medal are retired, life can be exempted from paying all the taxes of the empire.

    Shaar didn't take it for granted—he used to live in Wildfire Town, not the Byzantine Empire, who had never paid taxes on the Byzantine Empire.

    Kevin took Shaar back to the tent. The bald man was very excited. The reason for his excitement was simple:

    "The guards are rarely equipped with cavalry equipment. Since General has made this order, then obviously…We have a big fight to fight! ”

    After a pause, he smiled and said: "Okay, now I will take you to pick up your horse, and finally you don't have to let me torture my horse."

    After a battle, Kevin had a lot of intimacy with Shaar. Obviously, he has already accepted Shaar as his comrade-in-arms.

    "You become a sergeant, and you can be considered a 'positive soldier'! Generally speaking, in the army, the soldiers can only serve as auxiliary soldiers, and only become a true soldier can serve as a real soldier. We are cavalry troops here, and the requirements for becoming a soldier are much stricter than the infantry group. You can now get two horses. Both horses are your mount, and your cavalry equipment, armor, shield, long spear…"

    Speaking of this, Kevin suddenly stopped and patted his head: "Ah! I almost forgot an important thing. ”

    "What?"Shaar has some doubts.

    "Your squire!"Kevin smiled: "You are now a formal cavalry, a formal cavalry will be equipped with squire, and as the General's guardian's Praetorian Guard identity, we have a special treatment, we can equip one-on-one Squire. If it is in the following Flag Battalion, a few cavalry share a squire. ”

    "squire? What is it for? ”Shaar clearly has limited knowledge of the details of this army.

    Kevin frowned. "You guys can understand even military maps, but don't know this?"

    He is resistant to temper and explains: "Look at me, my current military position is Platoon Leader. I use three horses, two sets of standing equipment, weapons, shields, uniforms…In this case, someone is always responsible for taking care of my horse, feeding the horse, washing the horse, and wiping the armor weapon…Do some people have to do these chores? Of course, it is impossible for me to do these things myself. Otherwise, I will take care of three horses. I don’t have to do anything else every day. ”

    After a pause, he smiled: "Squire, it’s your entourage, you are responsible for snoring…Everything else is handed over to squire. Even if you are injured, squire is responsible for taking care of you. ”

    He said, he patted Shaar, then went forward and said loudly: "Let's go, I will take you to the camp, pick a suitable candidate – first explain, according to the tradition of our Byzantine Army team. , cavalry's squire, the fee is your own private payment! Anyway, your army is not too low, you can afford to hire a squire. ”

    Speaking of this, Shaar suddenly remembered an important thing, he strode to Kevin: "Hey! What is my current military squad – Eh, where do I get it? ”
