When people are young, they are always the most frivolous, and it is precisely when they are the most frivolous that they can make the most sincere friends. Because at that time, everyone only had a fiery heart, and there were not so many entanglements of interests. All the purest friendships also happen when they are young and frivolous.

—The Autobiography of Terry, Vol. 52

Major General Oprah poured two glasses of hot water, handed one to Terry, and then motioned for him to sit down, and then said thoughtfully to Terry while blowing the hot air in the glass.

"That was when I was younger, and I was about ...... age with you"

With a gentle sip of hot water, the Major General turned his gaze to the patio above the campfire.

The sky above the patio was already dark. Major General Oprah's sharp eyes seemed to want to travel back to his youth through the dim sky.

"At that time, I was also a very lucky boy, I had been a soldier for two years before the age of 18, and I also participated in several battles, but I was lucky not to be injured once, and later, with my military exploits, I was honored to be selected into the Imperial Military Academy........."

At that time, the Blue Flag Empire was still very strong. Although the Emperor Miller was already old, the prestige of his youth was still alive, so the territory and power of the empire at that time were as stable as a rock.

Born in the northeastern provinces of the Empire, Major General Oprah did not come from a good background, his father was a blacksmith who served a local baron's family, and Opral, who lost his mother at a young age, happened to be the same age as the baron's son, so he was lucky to become the son's companion.

The reason why Oprah is lucky is that the aristocratic family to which his father is attached is very kind to the commoners, so Major General Oprah had a very good childhood, and the baron's son treated him like his own brother.

At the age of 16, a small peninsular country in the east of the Blue Banner Empire was arrogant, coveting the rich lands in the northeast of the empire, and secretly launched an invasion of the northeastern provinces of the empire at the instigation of several emerging powers hostile to the Blue Flag Empire.

In his later years, Miller the Great no longer had the ambitions of his youth, so at that time, the imperial armament began to slacken, and no one in the empire expected that such an inconspicuous small country would start a war, and suddenly let this small country encroach on a large area of land in the northeast.

An enraged Miller the Great is like a lion who has been bitten by a jackal in his sleep, and is furious and ready to send an army against this ignorant little country.

However, at that time, it happened to be the 80th birthday of the Emperor Miller, so under the persuasion of the ministers, the madness of persuading the Emperor of such a small country was just a disease of scabies.

It's just that the monarchs and ministers of the empire didn't expect it at this time, although this is only a small country, but there are several emerging powers behind it, and this is no longer a small war in which ants shake the tree.

Therefore, although the soldiers sent by the nobles of the Northeast Province claimed to be 300,000, they were defeated and retreated as soon as they came into contact with the enemy, and in the end, the empire urgently sent a standing army stationed near the Northeast Province to finally contain the offensive of this small country.

Although it was a very losing battle, there was a noble private army that entered the eyes of the upper echelons of the empire.

Although this army was small in number, it was basically composed of the sons and daughters of low-ranking nobles.

Although their equipment was not as good as that of the private soldiers under the hands of the high-ranking nobles, they were all young people with higher education.

They are not as greedy for life and fear of death as the aristocratic private soldiers, and their combat methods are not as rigid as those of the commanders of the high-ranking nobles, and they can skillfully use their advantages to maneuver between many enemies, and have won many partial victories.

Although such a team cannot change the overall situation, their deeds are like a booster, injected into the body and mind of the people of the empire who have fallen into decadence and disappointment, so that the direction of public opinion is not one-sided.

And the leader of this team is the baron attached to the Opral family, so Opral, who has been advancing and retreating with the baron's son, naturally became a member of this team.

This war lasted for two years, and the final result can be imagined, and it is self-evident what will happen to a jackal who has angered a lion, but because of this war, Oprah and the baron's son have received a call up from the imperial army.

It was from that day that Major General Opral began his legendary life.

"Son, the first of the three things I can't forget in my life is the war that changed my life. If it weren't for this war, I would have been a little butler in the baron's house at best. ”

"As for the second thing, I'll tell you later, let's talk about the third thing first, and this matter is also related to the Republic of Takilia that we are going to this time."

"Kid, this matter has to start when I enter the Imperial Military Academy."

When Major General Oprah joined the Imperial Army, the war in the northeast of the empire was not over, so Oprah participated in several battles, with his keen combat instincts, tenacious fighting spirit, and impressive military exploits, he was soon promoted from an ordinary soldier to a second lieutenant, and after the war, Oprah was also selected to enter the First Military Academy of the Empire for further study with his military merits.

It was also in this year that the neighboring Takilian Empire sent a cadet group of young officers to the Empire for study and exchange, and the Imperial Military Academy was their destination this time.

Oplar, who had just arrived at the Imperial Academy, performed very well and was deeply loved by the instructors and leaders of the Academy, so he became one of the receptionists of the Takilia Imperial Exchange Group.

"Kid, don't you know if you've ever heard the name of the First Marshal of the Republic of Takiria?"

At this point in the story, Oprah suddenly stopped, looked at Terry and asked.

"General, you're talking about Marshal Shi Yexuan, the military god of the Republic of Takilia!"

Hearing Major General Oprah's question, Terry did not hesitate and immediately gave the answer.

The reason why Terry answered Major General Oprah's question so quickly was precisely because of the marshal's name.

Terry is a native of the Wasi tribe, and although for some reason, he has not ostensibly used this kind of surname and first name since his grandfather, but Terry knows that he has another name of this form.

Due to the national character of the Wasi people, there are not many celebrities in this world who have such a name, which is why Terry was able to quickly name the first marshal.

"Well, you're right, it's him. Like you, they are all from the Wasi tribe. ”

Major General Oprah nodded, and then continued his story.

"Mr. Shi is a very wise person, and he is also a mentor in my life, a guide to my revolution. He's five or six years older than me......"
