Chapter 216 - Formal Emblem
Charles's assault detachment consisted of six teams of eight men each, plus captain Churchill and a temporary support of Sister Mary Clarence, a temple priest of the Temple of Life, and fifty people filled almost one carriage.
The first battle is coming, and there is a clear difference in the performance of veterans and recruits in the carriage.
Most of the veterans are closing their eyes and recuperating, while the recruits are visibly nervous and looking for things to do to divert their nervousness.
Mage Dean was looking for a topic to talk to Charles, who was sitting across from him.
As a top student at Machon University of Technology, Dean is very knowledgeable, and he has an in-depth study of human social sciences. So he found Charles, who was reading the letter, and relieved the pressure by chatting about the topic of human society.
Today is the time for the post office to deliver the letter to the training camp, and Charles has time to read the letter half an hour before they start the training.
He was now reading the letter and answering Dean's words from time to time.
Mira's birthday was in early May, and she wrote that she had received a gift from Charles, but the hammer was so expensive that their instructor Vannis was drooling when he saw it, so don't spend money in the future.
Charles thought to himself, if the hammer entrusted to Aunt Leif was not a fine product, it would be a problem. If it weren't for the fact that his sister was still growing up now, he would have even had complete armor.
Then there was a letter from Diana, in which she said that Mira's action on her birthday was a success, and that a certain king had just invited Mira to dinner at the gate of the Seminary of Light, and Artoria appeared with a large group of people, and everyone went with them.
At that time, the face of a certain king was dark, after all, Artoria had changed all the buffets in the Knowledge City.
In the end, she said in the letter that Charles's housekeeper had come to her, the investment had been negotiated, and she was now preparing to make a big news, and she would notify someone Yunyun when there was a result.
Finally, there's Mordred's letter, which tells her a lot about her school classes, and finally says that Brother Gawain has been targeted by one of Mira's classmates.
Marcy's son Gawain Charles has seen him, and he is a warm man who is as handsome as spring, and it is not strange that he is taken by his sister.
After putting away a few letters, Charles and Dean talked about the inheritance law of the human kingdom.
Charles had always felt that the order of the competing crown prince in the Kingdom of Bischberg, which may have indirectly caused his family's suffering, was a bit problematic, but he didn't have much research on the human sociology of the world, so he couldn't figure it out.
Dean had studied the subject before, and he explained it to Charles.
The crown prince of the human king is basically based on "establishing a successor and establishing a long successor", and the king has no heirs, "brother to brother" or "subrogation". Competition for posts only happens when all the princes and princesses are excellent.
"What is the definition of excellence?" asked Charles.
Dean smiled, "If someone does everything they can to help you brag, then you're good." ”
Charles listened with a black line.
"Don't believe it. Dean said, "As long as the money is in place, you can also be blown as the crown prince of the elven court." ”
Charles did not take the initiative to tell others that he was Elizabeth's apprentice, and he was frightened by the two unscrupulous elves Horatio and George during the caravan.
"Forget it. The second crown prince of the elven royal court shook his head, "Her Majesty has not abdicated yet, and my grave tree can be hung with a 'first-class ancient and famous tree' sign." ”
Dean pulled the topic back, "The so-called 'excellent' is actually the interest groups behind the princes who help build momentum." I read an analysis of the situation in the Bischberg Kingdom a few years ago, and now their kingdom is divided into four interest groups, namely the court nobles, fiefdom nobles, armies, and adventurer groups headed by the late queen's family. ”
Speaking of this, Charles has already understood, the four interest groups chose their own spokesmen to start fighting, and then the king was upset and moved this fighting method to the table, and then set the rules.
Charles sighed deeply......
Late that night, the train stopped at a station.
There was a hurried whistle on the platform, and Charles and some of them walked out of the door, some jumped out of the window, and immediately lined up on the platform with backpacks and weapons, and then walked out of the station.
Led by the local garrison, the whole brigade came to an open field outside the station, where the rental carriages were usually parked.
Once the line was arranged, in the dim light, an elf walked onto a platform made of several wooden crates.
Then Charles's face darkened and he met an acquaintance.
"Brothers of the 168th Training Brigade, I am George Rodney, the commander of the garrison in Sycamore City, and I am also the commander of this operation!"
As the strongest team in the brigade, the assault detachment is always in the first row when it is lined up. Churchill, a rare elf man, was at the head of the line, and Charles was the shortest so he stood at the end.
That's when Charles noticed George smiling at himself.
George continued: "Without further ado, there are now a large number of enemies in the mountains near Sycamore City, and now the brethren from all over the country are on their way. I need you to garrison a mountain, and if the enemy attacks, you need to hold it until reinforcements arrive. ”
"Now you are still training soldiers, and you have not yet been awarded military insignia, and you are not really soldiers, so your emblem ceremony will be held here. ”
"I'll give you a minute, and if you're afraid of death, you can quit now, not as a deserter. ”
A minute later, George led a team of officers to personally pin military insignia to the collars and caps of the recruits who were still half a month away from completing all the training tasks.
George came to Charles, smiled and pinned his military badge, then patted him on the shoulder, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Be careful, don't hide it when necessary, I know what you can do." But don't take the credit of others. ”
Charles nodded, he understood what George meant.
At this stage of the war, training is the mainstay, and soldiers need to learn war in the war.
If Charles had called it a day every time he had been bombarded with a few cannons, then these soldiers would have had to learn how to shout "666" in the middle of the war.
"I'll take notice. Charles replied.
After the simple and solemn emblem awarding ceremony, the 168th Training Brigade officially became the 168th Brigade of the Elven King's Court.
Because the current operation disrupted the original establishment plan, they were temporarily assigned to the unified command of Wutong City, like other teams that were urgently upgraded from the training camp.
