"Young man? I was also a young man, and I know what you think. But it doesn't matter. Freud gave Weken a deep look and left alone.

Weken was a little confused, but he also left the cavern where his belongings were kept.

The sky has not yet cleared, and the continuous autumn rain seems to have just arrived, and it is not intended to end like this.

"This kind of weather, it's really unpleasant......" Sitting under the eaves, Wei Ken looked at the sky.

The autumn rain was dripping, with a hint of sorrow.

That's it, sad words, just remember.

Just remember that if you take your enemies lightly, you will hurt yourself and your friends.

Whether it's to become powerful with the help of the Miscellaneous Soldier System, or for the sake of greater wealth, I can't stop here.

Go back, go back to somewhere?

Although William's family is friendly, Diama is a very nice person...... But it was never my home.

Wealth, power, family?

Sorry, here, I don't have anything......

The only thing I can rely on is this miscellaneous soldier system that doesn't look like a plug-in at all.

Flick the wiped, Ron's longsword.

"The skills of the long sword also need to be learned. ”

There are now 18 more souls that allow themselves to upgrade from a "beginner" to a "proficient".

"Let's wait until later......" Wei Ken made up his mind.

For dinner, many people can't afford to eat.

Four more people died......

Some of the injured people have not been able to save their lives even with the most basic treatment.

This ragtag army is not equipped with such valuable personnel as military doctors.

With the jerky he had snatched from the bandits, Weken gulped down a few pieces of hard bread. After taking a sip of water and drying his mouth, Weken leaned against the wall and listened quietly to the sound of the rain.

At this time, slowly close your eyes, perhaps......

"Weken, General Freud called you. A veteran soldier approached and stopped Weken, who was about to take a nap.

"Huh, Volud?"

These veterans all called Freud a "general", could he have been a battle-hardened "general" before?

It's possible......

"Yes. Weken nodded slightly, picked up the straw fork, and headed for Floyd's room.

He lived in the room of the original bandit leader.

Knocking on the door, Weken looked at the former bandit leader's room with some curiosity.

I'm not part of the team responsible for searching for the base, so I don't know the layout of each room very well. At most, you know what each room does, and where it is.

"Alright, Weken. "Floyd was still wearing his armor, and he didn't let his guard down even in the room.

He pointed to the chair to the side and motioned, "Sit here." ”

It wasn't a safe place for him.

Weken nodded, "Yes, General Freud." ”

"Huh?" said Freud, who was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Haha! Where's the 'general'? I'm just a 'former knight', and I have long had nothing to do with rank. ”

Wei Ken was a little confused: "General?"

"Hah, you can call it whatever you like. Well...... I don't know if you understand what 'general' means. Floyd smiled bitterly and sat down in the chair opposite Weken, "Well, I'm looking for you, just to complain." You can't understand ...... anyway."

“......”

No, now I understand...... I hope you don't talk about topics that you can't talk about casually, I'm going to be under a lot of pressure. Well, I wouldn't talk about topics that don't have much to do with me.

Well, I guess I still don't understand.

Freud ignored the change in the expression on Wiken's face, and began to grumble to himself. It's a little strange for a high-ranking officer to confide in a small miscellaneous soldier about the past.

"......" feigned ignorance, and Weken nodded duly as Freud tried to seek approval.

It feels like a garbage can – specially designed to hold the complainant's grievances and complaints.

Freud used to be a knight and was loyal to a young nobleman with the status of "earl". He swore allegiance under that nobleman, fought on the battlefield, and slain the enemy.

When he was young, he was accompanied by military exploits, and there was a period of romance...... Yes, he got married, had a beautiful wife, and had a lovely daughter later...... It can be said that he was born as a civilian, and he has relied on his own ability to reach the pinnacle that all civilians cannot reach in their lifetime.

But this splendor is nothing compared to the nobility of this world. That's why he's here to lead this miscellaneous army and be an empty "general".

He is not a nobleman. He was stripped of his knighthood for some reason, for a reason he didn't want to mention for a while. Together with his family, he was exiled to this remote countryside near the north.

But fortunately, his relatives, wife and daughter, are still alive...... There is also a home called "home".

After he finished complaining about the past, he was complaining about the task of crusading against the bandits this time.

It turns out that this stronghold is a nest of bandits, a group of guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard but are very slippery.

The nobles of this territory, he didn't want his territory to have a den of bandits who was so powerful that it might disgrace him. In the case of no result, he entrusted the frustrated "former knight" Freud who had just been demoted at that time to crusade against the bandits.

And Freud agreed to this commission with his comrades-in-arms as his lieutenants and personal soldiers when he first became knights.

But the money, food, and equipment given by that nobleman ...... It's just too little. The army that had been promised to assist Vorloyd was later evacuated due to a sudden change of events—along with most of the supplies.

The only ones left for Freud were some recruits who had not practiced martial arts, or were even physically not strong.

Oh! Not even weapons and equipment have been distributed! These "weapons" that are indistinguishable from bandits were all pieced together by Freud.

As for the meat he ate yesterday, he also got it in exchange for Floyd's intercession with the village chief.

And as for why the captives were killed, even some women and children did not let go......

Actually, Freud didn't want to kill the captives.

"The only ones who really need to be killed are the bandits, and the bandit leader......" Freud sighed.

Weken nodded, silent.

Having said that, however, the two sons of the nobleman personally approached Freud and asked him to bring back some "game...... Say yes, taste the "fresh game" and enjoy the "pleasure of hunting".

And the nobleman's wife also asked someone to find Voloyd and ask him to bring back some "gifts from the mountains......

The reason why the treasure was divided into two parts, except for one for military expenses, and the other part was entirely for the sake of giving to the lady.

I beg her to be able to blow the wind in her ears at night when the fat and bloated nobleman carries her to sleep. Let the "kind-hearted noble lord" be able to reward the soldiers of this miscellaneous army more when remembering the merits of the war, and allocate a trace of military expenses for these warriors who are not even complete in armor and weapons that will never affect the military expenses of the noble lord to hold a small party.

"Yes, the reality is so cruel...... "Freud didn't care if Weken understood, or if he thought Weken couldn't understand at all, "I bring these women and girls back, their future can be imagined...... Why didn't they let them go? I can't guarantee that no one will be informed...... As long as one person made a small bag of Jeru, he went to tell the two young masters who were born with golden spoons...... I can't risk being convicted of 'harboring a wanted criminal' to help people I have never met. I'm selfish, yes...... I have changed, and I no longer have the heroism and heroism of my youth. I just want my wife, and my poor little Liz, to have a stable life as a family. ”

Weken did not comment.

It was not he who ordered these people to be killed, although he killed more than a dozen people with his own hands, but it was just to carry out the order and vent hatred.

"Instead of letting those two noble sons taste the game, I prefer to receive a capitation of the battle exploits and rewards when I report. Floyd shook his head helplessly, "Not only me, but even my dear noble lord has this idea. Above him, there were even greater nobles. He will find a way to count all these heads, at a reasonable time, on the heads of his two sons, so as to add a warrior glory to their status as nobles. ”

"This world is so unreasonable. You go to theorize, and the other side will only plunge a long sword into your throat and cheer and celebrate on your corpse. Well, that's all for today. Floyd sighed, then waved his hand at Weken and motioned for him to leave.

Weken stood up, nodded calmly, and turned to leave.

Yes, this old general, he is tired, very tired. The illusory glory of the past and the reality of the present are like falling into an ice cave......

He hasn't been crushed yet, maybe it's just because of the "three pursuits" he said before, right?

Power, wealth, he apparently did not really possess. The power that can be restrained is never the real power. The wealth that can be taken away, with and without it, is only in a moment.

All he does have is "family".

Tonight is still a long night, so let's take a break from the fatigue of the battle for your body and soul......

This rain should stop tomorrow.
