Chapter 142: Varta's Doubts

Night falls. The Garelian Fortress, which had been lively all day, inevitably fell silent. Inside a fortress the size of a medium-sized city, most of the place was silent except for the footsteps of patrolling soldiers and the occasional conversation or two.

After a period of scrambling by the soldiers who were in charge of cleaning up the wreckage after the exercise, the drill ground that had been riddled with holes after an afternoon of fightingβ€”or rather unilateral torture and bombardment, had been repaired, at least it would not affect the soldiers' drills and daily training the next day; And the very rare guest, the students from Tolz, also went to bed early after dinner, according to the custom of the armyβ€”note that they "enjoyed" dinner. Because the day of the internship happens to be a Saturday, and every Saturday is also the day that ordinary soldiers look forward to the most. Because only on this day, dinner will serve a delicacy that is rarely found in the entire fortress - beef risotto with red wine. The students were indeed lucky, and on their first day they were able to catch the normal good meal that most of the soldiers in the fortress had been waiting for day and night.

To sum up, everything is normal in the fortress tonight, calm as water. The maintenance and maintenance team, which has always been the last to rest, is ready to leave the warehouse after a long day's work, and go back to take a shower and sleep soundly.

"Okay, that's it." The squad leader's words made the maintenance personnel, who had been busy all day, almost can't help but cheer. In the expectant eyes, the squad leader knocked down the last button of the operation terminal, and said with relief: "Today's indicators are completed." ”

"Well, it's finally time to take a shower." The soldiers, who didn't even have the strength to cheer, almost collapsed in place, "I've been soaked in sticky sweat all day today." ”

"It's hell of work after the drill, you have to get used to it." A mechanic who looked a little older said kindly to the complaining newcomer next to him, "And to be honest, it's thanks to the fact that we now have a guide network to help us manage our resources...... If you put it on hold, it's normal to work until midnight before you can go back to sleep. ”

"But in that case, the lieutenant general will read that we are overtired, and we will be spared the morning exercise." Another maintenance worker snickered.

"I'd rather rest early."

However, just as the staff were busy gossiping, the sound of "Di Di Di", which symbolized the communication, suddenly sounded. The monitor suddenly lit up, revealing a message that had just been pushed, with the sender's name prominently written "Headquarters".

"Isn't it?" After reading the above content, everyone was even more wailing, "Really, so there is also trouble with things like the Guiding Network, which can run smoothly all day long!" ”

"What's wrong?" Several maintenance workers, who had already dreamed that the bed in the dormitory was not luxurious, but it was definitely comfortable, also gathered around after hearing the restlessness here.

"It looks like there's an additional drill tomorrow...... We need to add 20 C-modules to the "18th" by tomorrow. The squad leader said weakly.

"Huh? Really? "I'm sure I'm going to have to work all night!" Wails echoed through the garage.

"Besides, there aren't that many C components left. I remember that all the stocks in the warehouse were used up for today's drill......"

"No......" The squad leader, who had just finished counting the materials, said in a heavy and resigned tone: "This makes sense." It was only delivered with the goods delivery this evening, and there are exactly 20 C components, which are placed in the warehouse. ”

"No way...... Damn, I had to do it. After the maintenance staff experienced the process of hope to disappointment, they naturally complained one by one, but no one had the intention of picking on the child and quitting, "at least let people take a bath......

"Let's see if there's any extra snacks and supper in the cafeteria. Knowing that we worked all night, they wouldn't skimp on it. The squad leader said to the oldest maintenance officer in the team around him. In front of the addition of tank components, going to the cafeteria to get supper and drinks back is simply an easy job, although you can't disobey orders, but the squad leader is still very considerate in this small detail, so that the veteran team members with slightly less physical strength can get even a little preferential treatment.

"Alright, let's get to work!" The squad leader gave an order, and the rest of the people took their places.

"You're looking for me?" On the side of the cafeteria, in the exclusive lounge specially prepared for the commander and the VIPs, Helriga and Lieutenant General Varta on the opposite side each had a cup of freshly brewed coffee in front of them - not a high-end product, just ordinary instant coffee.

"I didn't care about it at the earliest, but I found out just now that you are the young hero who saved the lives of His Royal Highness Alphin and many guests present in the Park of Our Lady at the Imperial Capital Summer Solstice Festival last month." Lieutenant General Varta said, "I have called you here to thank you - thank you for your contribution to the empire and the royal family. ”

"You're exalting me too much." Heiliga said calmly, then took a sip of coffee, Leng Buding frowned at the sour taste, "That's just what I should do, not to mention that I already have other people's requests." ”

"It's okay...... I heard that you are from an aristocratic background, and sure enough, the shabby food of this commoner is not to your taste? As if sensing Helica's reaction when he drank coffee just now, Lieutenant General Varta asked, not sarcastic, just an ordinary inquiry. It seems that this lieutenant general is a straight man, and he will say whatever he wants.

"Where...... The army is located in a strategic location, and the rationing of supplies is important and tight, plus the empire has such a large number of troops here...... To be honest, some are good to drink. Heliga said that the nobles, including him, usually drank black tea, and even if they occasionally drank some coffee, it was in a fine drink shop, or a boutique from Sharon's hand, and it was the first time he had drunk something like this.

"Actually, there are some good drinks in this cafeteria. It's just that it seems to have been taken away by those guys in the maintenance class just now. Lieutenant General Varta said disapprovingly, "After all, there is such a large-scale exercise today, they are indeed working hard, and they just need to get some extra supplies." ”

"yes. Elliot had also said before that his father, Lieutenant General Craig, was very brave in combat and very strict in training, but he had a good relationship with the soldiers at the bottom in peacetime...... Forget it, it's not a trivial matter. Heliga shook his head, "I guess you're not just looking for me for this one, right?" ”

"Actually......" After a moment of silence, Lieutenant General Varta finally gritted his teeth and said what he wanted to say, "Just now during the exercise...... Your expression makes me a little concerned. ”
