Saint-Ryan, the county seat of a small county in the northwestern part of the province of Jonne in the Count of Burgundy.

Compared with the city of Bomledam, which is located in the northern pass and guards the northern road, although St. Ryan is the head of a county, it is not as good as Bemledam City in terms of strategic position and city size, and even the southern border county of Tignez is larger than St. Ryan.

However, after all, this is the fertile land of the Northland, and Saint-Ryan is a rich land, as long as it is not a war year, there is no shortage of food and clothing here.

But this year there was a war, and the army of St. Ryan, which had not been burned for decades, was very empty, if you counted on the county soldiers of less than 100 people, I am afraid that seven or eight groups of combined bandits could capture here, so in the defense deployment of the army of Jonah's court, Arte's Wells legion was arranged to garrison in St. Ryan.

By the time the Welsh Army arrived at Saint-Ryan, it was the end of July, and it took less than an hour for the army to take over the defense of Saint-Ryan from the defenders. Obviously, these soldiers who had spared their lives had already packed their things, waited for someone else to take over the defense, and then fled back to the hinterland of Jonah Province to hide.

The Welsh Legion, which had been wounded in the siege of Vaal City, was also allowed to camp in Saint-Ryan City to recuperate, and seize time to regain strength before Besançon's battle horn was blown......

............

A large bonfire burned along the fence along the side of the farm, two miles outside the east of Saint-Ryan, and in the open space beside the campfire, several iron spears and shields were neatly leaning together, and a war horse was leisurely grazing on the edge of the farm in the fence.

The six black-robed soldiers around the fire were drooling and staring at the old hen that had been roasted to black.

"I'm pretty much there, let me taste it for you first." A greedy soldier reached out to tear the roast chicken on the campfire.

Another soldier immediately picked up a stick and stabbed it, "You bastard, why did you do it first when Chief Passat paid for the chicken?" I have to eat it first, Chief Passat. ”

"You said yes? Captain Passat. The soldier who was wielding the firewood stick flatteringly asked the squad leader who was sitting next to him in a daze with a water bladder.

This squad leader is named Passat, and he is definitely a "veteran" soldier of the Welsh Legion.

Passat, a good soldier who always makes mistakes at critical moments.

This guy's name is not unfamiliar, as Long as when Art accepted the palace conscription as a trainee knight and led his army north and east to fight the Swaben in the bloody battle at Tarburg, Passat was already a battle leader under Odo.

Years have passed, and Colin, Wey, Bangada, and even Andrew, the peasant captain who volunteered to stay in Tarburg, have become the captain of the Welsh Legion's banner, while Passat, who was relied on by Otto at the time, was still only a squad leader who was not an officer, and this squad leader was still a recently promoted military rank {military non-officer}.

There is no shortage of talents in the Welsh Legion, and there are many people who can fight and command, but it is estimated that a strange person like Passat will not be able to find a second one.

Fighting the Schwaben in Tarburg that year, Passat was already qualified to be promoted to squad leader in the post-war expansion with his military exploits of three kills, but this guy actually secretly hid valuable war gains when he attacked the southern estate of Bilten in the last vote. This is the first case of a private war catch being discovered, and it wasn't a big deal.

However, the unlucky Passat met Yate when he was about to make an example of the monkey, and as a result, he was severely beaten with a military stick, not only failed to be promoted to squad leader, but also erased the position of Lián Zhàn fighting team leader and became an ordinary soldier.

Followed the army back to the valley, and later in the battle with the bandits in Boulder Town, Passat was in the Clideo's squad, the head of the squad leader Clideau was chopped off by the bandits, and the seriously injured Passat survived strongly, and after repairing for more than half a year, he returned to the army and resumed his position as the leader of the battle team because of his military merits, which is considered to be back to the starting point.

After recuperating for most of the year, he missed the battle against the Dean mercenaries at the border outpost, and did not return to the army as a battle leader until the army was hired to go south to Provence to fight the Lombards.

In the Battle of Provence, Passat did not heal from his old wounds, but his combat strength was mediocre, and he killed two enemy miscellaneous soldiers and received a military reward of 100 pfennigs.

Soon after, the army abolished the military position of battle leader, and the six-man military formation became the basic combat unit, and the squad leader became the lowest level of officer. Due to his lack of success, Passat, who had just recovered as the leader of the battle team, became an ordinary soldier again.

When returning north from Provence to participate in the reconquest of Valonburg in the eastern province of Jonne, this guy used his strength and killed three enemy soldiers. After the war, Art, who had been canonized as a baron, was preparing to formally form the Welsh Legion, and at this time, Passat had accumulated enough qualifications to promote the squad leader.

But in the first phase of the military academy, he was insulted by the instructors as a "stupid pig without brains" because he could not learn the words that he had been taught for more than ten days.

Passat, who didn't like the instructors in the academy, beat the instructors......

Art valued the instructors of the Military Academy very much, and he personally ordered Passat to be expelled from the Military Academy.

Of course, the matter of promotion to an officer after the completion of the military academy must have nothing to do with him.

Soon after, the army was reorganized, and Jason, the captain of the gōng nǔ, took a fancy to this veteran who was brave and capable of archery in close combat, and managed to transfer him to the gōng nǔ team, treating him as a melee pillar of the gōng nǔ team.

The Passat became a veteran of the gōng nǔ team in turn.

The Welsh Legion recruited a sharp increase in recruits, and considering the need for veterans as the backbone of the recruits, Odo repeatedly asked Art to transfer the Passat back to the infantry as a squad leader, at this time the squad leader was no longer an officer, but a soldier with a slightly higher salary, but it was a good thing that he could be promoted to a first-class military position.

As a result~ Before he had time to be promoted, Passat, who got the news, was happy, ran to the new village in the valley with his military salary and two recruits, and after getting drunk, he collapsed on the bed of the "girl" and did not return all night.

It was a critical moment when the Wells Legion was almost poisoned, and the three guys, old and new, who did not return to the camp on time according to military law, were the bastards led by Passat.

Afterwards, Art was ready to take Passat's head to pay tribute to military law, but this guy's foundation was not shallow, and Otto and a group of officers interceded for him, and in the end, Art reluctantly left his dog head for everyone's sake.

As soon as this incident came out, not only was the promotion in vain, but Passat was demoted to a squadron guard, if it weren't for the fact that his combat strength was really strong, I am afraid that he would be sent to the baggage team to do miscellaneous work.

In the first half of the year, in the battle between the northern and western frontier armies of Tignats, Passat once again made great achievements, and he led two soldiers to chase a dozen western troops for a mile with a short sword in his hand, killing two enemies.

After the war, the command camp of the Chinese army promoted him to a soldier in accordance with military law, and lived under the command of flag captain Andrew.

A few days ago, in the fierce battle between the siege of Vaal City and the elite of the Western Army, under the crisis situation of the flag captain Andrew falling to the ground with heavy injuries, the squadron leader being seriously injured, and the squad leader being killed, Passat led five or six soldiers around him to desperately resist the enemy's offensive and persisted until the arrival of the "ambush".

In this battle, the Passat only killed one enemy and stabbed one enemy, but because the losses of the entire flag team were too heavy, the proportion of officers killed in the battle was very large, and after the approval of Art, Otto promoted the Passat to the captain of a combat squad in the Welsh Regiment {The squad leader is not an officer, and the appointment does not need to go through Yat, but the Passat situation is really special. }。

This squad of soldiers is full of six, but except for the squad leader Passat and another guy known as the immortal bird, the other four are all new recruits, and there are even two miscellaneous soldiers of the baggage team who are temporarily selected from the baggage team to be promoted......

It took several years for the battle leader to finally grow into a squad leader, although the squad leader at this time was not as good as the battle leader at that time.

Passat was still silent in his memory, he didn't hear what the soldier had just said, "Immortal bird, what did you just say?" ”

"I said that this roast chicken should be Captain Passat, you eat it first, after all, you are the squad leader, and the money to buy the chicken is still from you~" The veteran's tone was particularly deferential, he was a veteran of the Wells Legion, and he knew this Passat very well, and his combat power was definitely not very kind, and the veteran thought that if he could become friends with the Passat, the chances of surviving the next battle were at least much greater than those of these new birds around him.

"The squad leader is not an officer, and your "chief" is numb to me. Besides, I don't want to be a commander, the more officers I am, the easier it is to die, and your chief Andrew is still lying on the bed of the medical team~" Passat remembered the officers who had been pushed to the front on the right wing that day, and few survived.

Passat tossed the water bladder to the flattering veteran, reached out and ripped a leg from the black roast chicken, put it to his mouth, and took a big bite.

For fear of smoke, they burned the bonfire too much, the outer layer of the roast chicken was already charred but the inside was not fully cooked at all, the Passat took a bite of the chicken all embedded between his teeth, and it took a long time to tear off the next bite, the meat was already in his mouth and he was reluctant to spit it out, and the Passat chewed desperately.

"Eat~eat~" Passat's mouth wrapped in chicken was slurred.

As soon as the soldiers heard the word "eat", they immediately rushed to rob it, and a roast chicken was quickly torn apart.

"I can't eat it, it's not cooked." The Passat finally swallowed the undercooked chicken and finished his sentence, but the chicken on the wooden rack had already been stuffed into the soldiers' mouths......

"A pack of hungry dogs!" Passat pouted.

"I said immortal birds, you can't buy two more chickens when you go to the farm to buy them? Didn't I give you a little silver coin? How did you just buy a chicken? Did you hide the rest of the money mongrel? Passat asked the veteran again.

The veteran was chewing chicken in his mouth, and there was time to answer Passat's question, and he chewed and swallowed: "One ~ a small silver coin ~ is enough to buy ~ a chicken ~"

"What? How much does a chicken cost twelve phennyls? This is what the farmer told you? "Passat didn't know that the price of meat in the war zone had skyrocketed several times.

"That's why we drew our swords before we were willing to buy them, otherwise the farmer wouldn't have sold them at all." The soldier who had just been beaten swallowed a mouthful of meat and replied with his mouth free.

Passat looked like he hated iron, he pointed to the chicken bone in his hand, and said loudly, "What? Did you all draw your swords or did you spend a whole silver coin to get this chicken? ”

"What can I do? The farmer said that he would not buy it to us at a low price, and we didn't dare to really kill him~"

"I said you-"

Passat was about to shout at the recruits when the sound of horses' hooves galloping could be heard on the eastern road.

"Not good! It must be a military police outpost. Quick, put out the bonfire and hide all the chicken bones. It's over, the patrol will make a fire, and he will definitely be imprisoned. No, this is a battlefield, I'm afraid I'm going to be beheaded? Oh my God~" A newly promoted soldier first learned the harshness of military law, and his eyes widened more and more......

Although the veteran soldier called the immortal bird was a little panicked, he was not afraid, he slapped the new soldier in the face, "What a decapitation, scare you to death." This is not a war zone, and yesterday it was announced that the temporary lifting of the combat status and the temporary repair of the corps were made. During the repair period, the patrol post will be fined up to half a year's military salary and 30 military sticks. It's okay, I've been beaten by the military law team, and thirty military sticks can't kill you with thick skin and thick meat. ”

Passat didn't care, he didn't care much about being dealt with by military law, he slowly got up and patted the dirt on his buttocks, sighed lightly and prepared to meet the severe punishment of the military law team, "This squad leader has done it again, and he has to go back to be a thousand-year-old veteran~"

The horse was getting closer, but the man on horseback was not wearing a white feathered helmet.

"No, that's not a court-martial!" Passat sensed the anomaly......

............

As the galloping horse drew nearer, Passat saw the soldier's heraldic burqa on his horseback, loosened his bowstring, and motioned for everyone to lay down their arms.

"Isn't that the captain of the baggage team? Didn't they deliver the last grain back to Saint-Ryan? What do you do running back alone? "The veteran immortal bird recognized the man on horseback.

The horse got closer and closer, and before the horse could stop, the man on horseback released the reins and jumped off before the man on horseback let go of the reins, "Is it the Passat brothers?" ”

"Quick, you go back and report to your lordship, someone is robbing us of our food, and Chief Spencer is fighting with the other party with the baggage team guards." The captain of the baggage team held his breath and issued a warning.

"Where did the mongrels dare to rob the Welsh Legion of military rations? I don't want to live anymore! Passat was furious.

"An army coming from the east, it seems that it is going to fight in a war zone."

"How many are there?"

"Forty of them, and a knight."

"Bastard! Enough is enough! ”

"You! Immediately ride back to warn the Chinese army, and the rest of the people will be killed with me! Putting the bow on his back, Passat removed the bow and quiver and broadsword from the saddle of his horse, and sent one of the recruits back on horseback to warn him, and then led the rest of the soldiers in the direction of the caravan carrying food......
