Chapter 13: Two Months Later
The war between the Segou Empire and the Roe Empire began. The Segou Empire needed this battle, they needed to deflect internal contradictions, and a war with an old enemy could not be better. The Roe Empire could not avoid this battle either. Ten years ago, the Roe Empire lost the war and lost half of the Marton rainforest, and now, ten years later, the angry public does not allow them to avoid the war. The war began. The reason is not important, in fact, the high-level leaders of the two countries know in their hearts that the incident in Riptide Town was not done by the Roe people, but the Saigu people said that it was the Roe people, and the Roai people said that it was the self-directed and self-staged actions of the Saigu people, and the quarrel between the two countries is meaningless, and the only important thing now is the result of the war.
The truth that the winner is king, and the loser is the loser is the villain. The Seigu people were well prepared, but when did the Kroés let their guard down on their old friend? The new and old hatreds of the two sides were counted together, and the war soon entered a stalemate. Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Snorlan's training in Crane Village has also achieved results, and now Snorlan is level 6. With 21 points of strength and constitution, he can even fight Arturius in strength and stamina without losing the upper hand, but he does not gain any skills other than awakening a skill called [Boost the Soldier's Heart] when he reaches level 5. Of course, his [Longsword Mastery] skill has also reached the basic level.
Their effect is: [Cheer up the army] (excellent): Your words are more contagious, and your morale-boosting words are more effective. [Longsword Mastery: Basic] (Excellent): You have learned basic swordsmanship. For Snorlan, this [Boost the Army's Heart] skill is useless, but he is still relatively happy, after all, it is better than nothing.
At noon that day, Snorlan went to Arturius' house for dinner as usual. The old village chief, Pachel and his wife, like Snorlan very much, and they simply treat Snorlan as their own, and Teresa also treats Snorlan as an older brother. Speaking from the heart, Snolan was very fond of the Arturius family, especially Theresa's grandmother, and her care and care for her always reminded her of her mother, who died young. Every time he thought about this, Snorlan couldn't help but sigh, and immediately stepped up his training—he hoped that he would be able to complete his mission and return to Earth as soon as possible. His father had lost his wife at an early age, and now he had lost his son, and Mr. Snorlan could not imagine that his father would be able to withstand such a blow when he was about to retire.
Theresa saw Snowlan's loneliness and asked with a smile, "Brother Snowlan, is there anything bothering?" ”
Snorlan looked at Theresa, and after two months of getting along, he also treated Theresa as if she were his own sister, so he smiled, rubbed Theresa's fiery hair, and said, "It's okay, Theresa, I'm just a little homesick." ”
Theresa knew that Snowlan's hometown was far, far away, and she couldn't go back for a while, so she had to smile and say, "Brother Snowlan, this is also your home!" ”
When Snowland heard this, he was both moved and sad, moved by feelings, homesickness, confusion about the future, sentimentality about the difficulty of seeing relatives and friends again, and fear of things and people...... All kinds of thoughts are constantly chopping, and the reason is still chaotic, with Theresa's words, the past comes to his heart, and Snorlan is a little out of shape for a while, his eyes are red, and he almost cries!
Theresa was afraid that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly put her hand on Snowlan's hand and said, "Brother Snowlan, what's wrong?" Don't cry. ”
Snorlan smiled at Theresa with red eyes, took Theresa's outstretched left hand with both hands, put it on his forehead, and said, "It's okay, Theresa, it's okay." ”
Arturius happened to walk into the restaurant at this time, and when he saw Snorlan like this, he couldn't help but be curious, so he asked, "Snorlan, what's wrong?" ”
Snorlan had already sorted out his emotions at this time, wiped his eyes, and said flatly: "Oh, it's okay, it's just that I'm a little homesick and miss my family." ”
Arturius couldn't help but sigh silently when he heard this, although he had both parents and a sensible and lovely daughter, didn't he have someone he missed? Yes, he also misses Theresa's mother. He both missed that person and hated that person, all kinds of complicated feelings were intertwined, and he just wanted to say something, but he forgot to say it, so he had to sit down and sigh.
After a silent meal, Snorlan went to the training ground to train again. At this time, in the 3rd Segou Frontier Army, Malan Clinton also encountered troubles. As an intelligence adviser to Lieutenant General Costana, he has never had anything big to do - the main battlefield between the Segou Empire and the Roe Empire is on the middle line of the border between the two countries, and the usually chaotic southern front has suddenly become quiet because of the war on the middle line.
People like Malan can't be idle. He longs to make a career, to surpass his father, to surpass his uncle, and he wants to mention Carmelo the Wilderness Ranger as Marlan Clinton's father; Referring to Lieutenant General Clinton, he introduced him as Malan Clinton's uncle. His simple and simple wishes are difficult to fulfill. After all, Lieutenant General Clinton is fine, but his father Carmelo has been famous all over the world for more than 30 years, and the world calls him a walking legend, which does not refer to his realm, his realm is just a hero, but his legendary experience is too much, and for ordinary people, he is a legend.
Lieutenant General Costana saw that he was really uncomfortable, so he smiled and assigned him a task to escort military supplies. This task is not big, but it is not small, if no one makes trouble during the period, it is naturally very safe, but if someone is eyeing this batch of military supplies, it will be interesting. Before his departure, Lieutenant General Kostana told Maran that military supplies did not matter, but that he must ensure his own safety. Ma Lan naturally agreed, but he naturally made up his mind to escort the supplies back safely. So Malan set out on the road.
In the village of Crane, Arturius was listening to a report from a militia spy, his brow furrowed slightly.
Arturius asked, "How is the news?" ”
"Absolutely credible, Captain. My brother-in-law was one of the organizers of this batch of military supplies, and he told me personally. ”
Arturius nodded, and then asked, "Are you sure it's really only the Bronze High Rank?" ”
"That's right, this escort is a new intelligence adviser two months ago, Major Malan Clinton, he is in his early twenties, it is said that he has a very good background, this time he came mainly to mix up qualifications, although this young master is a bronze high-level, but he must be so weak that he can't run after two steps."
Arturius nodded and said, "All right, go down and rest, and I will inform the brethren to prepare." ”
"Yes."
In the gloomy room, Arturius thought as he touched his chin. Malan? The name was familiar, but Arturius didn't remember where he had heard it for a while, so he simply didn't want to, and went to the training ground to tell the militia to assemble. Arturius is bound to get this batch of military supplies, since the other party does not have a silver rank, then he can eat this batch of military materials with these militiamen, which not only enriches the inventory, but also can train the troops, but also make a name for himself, attract more people to join the rebel army, kill three birds with one stone, why not do it?
