[[[CP|W:724|H:479|A:L]]]] "It's been a long time, Mr. Gulaman, and half a year has passed. ”

Half a year later, Lieutenant General Gulaman still looks like an old man, and his shiny glasses make it impossible to see his appearance.

I fiddled with chess all day long, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for half a year, I heard that you completed the suppression task ahead of schedule in the wind and water of Ishbalta?"

Looking at the chess pieces in Gulaman's hand, Estes began to be frightened in her heart, and she wanted to go straight to Gulaman, but she somehow made a detour and walked around the left side to Gulaman's side.

"Yes, I just finished my mission, come and take a walk around the teacher's place."

Before his hand could touch the teacher's teapot, Gulaman froze Estes with a word

"Since it's okay, let's play a game with the teacher, I haven't played with you for a few years, I don't know how your chess skills are?"

"Click-"

If you are not careful, the hand that just touched the teapot will break the teapot handle

"I'm sorry teacher! I'll break your teapot and I'll glue it for you! ”

It seems that the object chess is very uninterested, and Estes finds a reason to slip away.

"It's okay, it's okay~ It's just a teapot~ I still have a cabinet here~"

However, Gulaman pretended not to know what Estes meant, pointed to the cabinet full of teapots in the cabinet next to him, and smiled and invited Estes to sit down

"Compared with the small teapot, I care more about the recent chess skills of my lovely students~"

Demons, absolute demons, at this time Gulaman is a demon general with glasses and a smile hidden in his sword, and he feels like he wants to eat Estes alive.

It was strange to feel that as long as Gulaman had chess in his hand, Estes could do nothing about him.

"Teacher...... Can students be busy with official business on another day? ”

Once rarely, Estes's aura was completely suppressed by Gulaman, and the whole person really became a little girl, in front of Gulaman.

"What are you talking about? ~Haven't we been playing chess since you were three years old~ It's been all these years, and it's not a big deal to play again, right? ~Aisha~"

“…………”

Looking at Gulaman's menacing appearance, Estes knew that he couldn't escape......

………………………………… After two minutes.......................................

"General!"

“…………”

Looking at the table full of his own flags of heroic sacrifice, Estes lowered his head and looked like a defeated general.

It's so embarrassing, it's really embarrassing, it was actually defeated in just one minute, what kind of thing does a mediocre general have to do?

But Estes is such a general now, her chess pieces were wiped out by Gulaman, and all the other chess pieces on the entire chessboard except for the last king were actually destroyed, and Gulaman's side ......

"Pretty good game, Aisha~"

The bishops and queens of the chariots and horses are standing on the chessboard in a dignified manner.

"It's a lot better than a few years ago~"

"Teacher...... Please, don't let Aisha play chess again, okay? Aisha knew that she didn't have the talent for it, and Aisha threw in the towel. ”

Since she was a child, Estes's chess ability has always been her hard injury, although it is said to be a harmless problem, but there is a saying that it is for the generals to know some chess skills.

And Estes ......

"If Aisha doesn't have this tendon in her head, the teacher won't be difficult for the students."

She is also self-aware of her own shortcomings.

"Okay, that's all for the aftermath~ Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

There aren't many places where Old Man Gulaman can play Estes now, and playing chess is the best way to do it.

After teasing the student, who was generally very satisfied, Gulaman felt much better

"Yes......"

But Estes was on the verge of crying.

………………………… Talking.................................

"That is, you need about ten to twelve battalions of additional troops to strengthen the offensive on the southern front, so you need me to help you solve it, right?"

After listening to Estes's explanation, Gulaman understood Estes's intention

"Yes, teacher, the casualties of the troops on the southern front in the battle some time ago were too great, and more troops are needed if they are used as the main direction of attack."

"Why didn't your father send troops from the center, north, west, and south? Those units also don't have combat missions, right? Especially the Central Army? ”

Always let the Eastern Command send its own troops to fill the holes, even a commander will be disgusted, right? What's more, most of the commanders who commanded them in battle were actually idiot officers of the Central Army.

"If the teacher is worried about military casualties, please rest assured. The commander-in-chief of the southern front is me, and the other officers are all cadres and central backbones of the Eastern Military Region. ”

All idiot officers, Estes, will be merciless in killing or driving them away, and she always does what she says.

"To tell you the truth, if the person who came today was your father, I would say that the eastern army did not have enough troops to maintain law and order, and it would be delayed for another month and a half, and then send troops over when the war was almost over, but since it was Aisha, it was not impossible."

Pushing down his glittering glasses, this was the old fox's characteristic action before he made the price

Lisa Hawk ...... You should be familiar with it, right? ”

"Huh?"

Estes didn't understand, what did the matter of transferring troops have to do with Teacher Hawk Ai's daughter?

"Yes, the daughter of my mentor, the flame alchemist Maxim Hokai. Why do you ask this? ”

It stands to reason that Mr. Hawk Ai is very disgusted with the army, and he usually goes deep into Jane and Gulaman should have no intersection.

"Do you know what Lisa's mother's name is?"

When talking about Lisa's mother, the lieutenant general's eyes clearly showed a different kind of emotion

"I don't know."

Lisa's mother had passed away years earlier, and Estes hadn't met Hawk Ai at that time, how could she care about this?

Every time she just studied alchemy and treated her teacher, she was so busy that she died, how could she have time to do anything else? Don't forget, she still had archives and troops to take care of.

"Alyssa Gulaman is Lisa's mother's name before she got married."

The old man's voice was full of nostalgia and remembrance, and it seemed that he had aged much older when he mentioned this name.

"Ancient ...... Gulaman?! Teacher...... This one...... No way?! ”

Looking at the old man's sincere expression, Estes understood why the old man was doing today and suddenly talked about Lisa, nine times out of ten......

"That's right, Lisa is my granddaughter, the daughter of my daughter Alyssa, who was abducted by the bastard Hawk Ai during college. The only blood I have left. ”

“…………”

For a while, Estes didn't know what to say, his daughter was abducted by a scholar who opposed and resisted the army, so it is conceivable that he must have rarely contacted the family, and his granddaughter would naturally be affected by this kind of influence more or less......

"Does Lisa know you're her maternal grandfather? Teacher? ”

In this way, Mr. Gulaman is also quite pitiful.

The daughter was abducted, and the granddaughter is afraid that she will also ......

"I know, but that's all, after all, I grew up with my stubborn son-in-law, and my ideological identification with the army is not high."

"Is that so?"

That is to say, the recognition of his maternal grandfather will not be high.

"But it doesn't matter much~ Although there is little communication between our grandchildren because of the problem of our son-in-law, I can finally speak, and occasionally she will call me to care about this old man, as a grandfather who has not been able to do anything for his daughter and granddaughter...... That's already good~"

Despite this, Estes could see that the old man was still expecting something

"Fourteen fully staffed infantry battalions, you can take them today, but there is a sniper squad that wants you to take special care of it."

As he spoke, a small roster was pushed in front of Estes

"One of the team members ...... Lisa Hawk, a member of the 17th Sniper Team, a warrant officer sniper, won first place in sniper shooting at the Non-commissioned Officer School. Eight times the eyesight of ordinary people, nicknamed 'Eagle Eye', this young officer will be handed over to you. ”

"I understand what the lieutenant general means."

Protecting one person and getting fourteen battalions to complete the mission, Estes felt that it was okay. What's more, it's the daughter of Teacher Hawk Ai, the granddaughter of Teacher Gulaman.

It is the responsibility of Estes to be reasonable.

"Ah...... In addition, I will transfer her to Mastan's troops, and I need your cooperation when the time comes~"

And then there were the silver spectacle lenses......

"Teacher...... Your fox tail is exposed. ”

"What fox tail? ~Messy~ Teacher, I'm a decent person, I won't do anything like buying and selling marriages, I'm just giving young people some opportunities~ The sniper team can be of great help during the annihilation mission in the second district, and it should be normal to transfer a flame alchemist from the 17th detachment to support and protect the country's talents, right? ~”

“………… Aisha understood. ”

Now Estes understood why he wanted ten battalions, and the lieutenant general gave fourteen.

Are the two of them the money escorted by the matchmaker?

"Go, go, go~ Go back and practice your chess skills~ I'm very optimistic about you~Aisha~"

"Yes......"

Old slippery head!
