"Hmm............ Unknown ceiling ............"

An Jie's bare left eye stared at the snow-white ceiling, thinking about her situation.

"First of all, being able to see the ceiling that is not in my memory means that I am still alive and cannot move my body............"

The girl tilted her head and glanced hard at the mirror placed at the head of the bed.

A bandage freak comes into view.

“………… The body is wrapped in bandages. ”

"And there's a smell of disinfectant wafting through the air."

Scanning his eyes over a device neatly stacked next to the bed, An Jie's eyes were puzzled: "There is also a strange thing that looks like a defibrillator, what the hell ............is this?"

The strange atmosphere made An Jie frown at the bandage.

"It's weird! It's so wrong! ”

As if thinking of a certain situation, the girl was shocked!

"Do you ————! say?"

"I didn't succeed in rescuing Princess Peach after defeating the Great Demon King of Kuba, so that Frankenstein, who has always had a crush on the princess, called the beast to hold a grudge, and kidnapped me who was seriously injured on a dark and windy night, so as to transform me into a scientific monster, which means that I am now disfigured, Tianlalu has no face, how can I mix !! in this era of looking at faces"

“………… No, you were just taken to the hospital with serious injuries............"

With a "squeak", the adjutant of the commander of the 147th Infantry Regiment pushed open the door of the ward and walked in with a smile on his face.

The girl's eyes widened!

"Then why do you wrap me like a mummy!"

"What is a mummy?"

“………… It doesn't matter! I shouldn't have hurt that badly! ”

"In fact, you're hurt much more than you think."

The adjutant came to the bedside, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"After the battle with the Earth Demon Beast, you fell from the sky, and the Earth Demon Beast did not cause any damage to you, so your main injury was a fall. So when we arrived, we saw you lying in a ruin, with multiple fractures all over your body, and a large area of abrasions was even more miserable! ”

The adjutant stretched out his finger and gently poked An Jie's bandaged arm, and he got his wish to appreciate the girl's screams of pain!

"Look! It hurts like this, so it's not too much to wrap it in a bandage! ”

The pain in my arm was so stark! And this is just a slight stab!

"Humph! What about the weird machine? What's that for! ”

The adjutant spread his hands.

"Cardiac defibrillator."

“………………”

The thing with rivets embedded in the emotion is really a defibrillator!!

It's a little hard to imagine that she was held down by the broken machine that even pulled out the wires, and the scene of defibrillating her heart by jumping and beating, the girl turned her head decisively, not thinking about these bad things!

The system told her! There will be a slow recovery after the war!

(How long is this slow recovery?) Are there any sequelae? ）

(Based on the host's current physical condition, it will take one to two months to fully recover, with no sequelae.) ）

An Jie was immediately relieved.

"Since that's all for the injury, let's talk about business."

The adjutant smiled and pulled a letter out of his hand.

"This is what the family you saved wrote for you...... Do you need me to read it to you? ”

“………… No, just put it there. ”

"Okay."

Putting down the letter in his hand, the adjutant pulled out another letter.

"This was written to you by the workers you rescued when you were in the industrial area, and it was also put here first?"

"No, send the letter back. I wasn't the one who saved them. ”

The adjutant smiled.

"This is what the rescuer himself insisted on, and the boy named Jonny seems to adore you very much."

"He just worships my power, and people like this have in the command."

(Yearning for power and feeling adored for someone are two different things............ ）

Although the adjutant thought so in his heart, the adjutant did not say it.

He simply continued: "Then let's talk about sending you to Altair City. ”

An Jie immediately turned her head!

That's what worries her most right now!

His injuries are too serious to recover without a rest for one to two months, and the city of Sunderland has been attacked again, so the army must be busy at this time! That mission to reach Altair in 15 days might be in vain!

………… Fortunately, she did not hear bad news from the adjutant's mouth.

"The regimental commander has reported your performance to the command, and Admiral Lesa has specifically approved the extension of your transfer order from 15 days to 30 days!"

"And, after you have recovered from your injuries, the 147th Infantry Regiment will send a special military vehicle to your destination! So, don't worry about the appointment! Sergeant Angel Scarlett! ”

……………… This is really a "surprise"!

"Sergeant?!! What's going on! ”

An Jie's tone fully expressed her shock! It's been less than a week since she enlisted in the army and became a corporal! Why did you get promoted so quickly?!!

"I don't know the specifics, but it seems that it should be a matter of preparation."

"Preparation?"

"It is said that the minimum rank of the wizards who enter the training team is corporal, and they will study in the training team for three years, and be promoted to the next level every year, and the magicians who perform well during this period will directly skip the warrant officer to become a second lieutenant officer after 'graduation'!"

Speaking of this, the adjutant's face also showed envy.

"However, although the enlistment order for the magic guide non-commissioned officer was officially issued in October this year, the cultivation and training of the magic guide in previous years has not stopped. This year is the last year that this batch of magicians will graduate, Sergeant Scarlett, you were originally scheduled to enter the third phase of the army and start from scratch, but Admiral Lesa thought that your performance in the encounter in Sunderland City proved that you no longer need to do some pure basic learning, so he "skipped a grade" for you............ That's why the military rank was unusually promoted. ”

An Jie understood.

To put it bluntly, it is a traditional thing in the army, and the graduates of the magic non-commissioned officer training team are also sergeants at the least! If you, a "skipping student", want to maintain this tradition, your military rank will have to be adjusted accordingly.

But this is a blessing and a curse!

It's not that An Jie is extreme, she always feels that Admiral Lesa has a feeling that she is making things difficult for herself, intentionally or unintentionally. The promotion of his military rank seems to be a good thing, but in fact, there are a lot of follow-up troubles!

First of all, it's the problem of skipping grades.,The girl thinks that she can come up with a lot of dry goods with people on the Internet.,But the keyboard Zhuge Liang can still have the level of the Internet after leaving the keyboard, that's really hehe......

………… Her basic experience is not enough.

What's more, this is another magical world where warships can fly in the sky!

There is not much inherent military knowledge that can come in handy, An Jie actually needs this opportunity to complete her knowledge, even if it means that her promotion will have to wait for several years, she is willing!

If a person who has no real ability stays in a position that exceeds his ability, sooner or later he will be pulled down by someone more capable than him.

Skipping a grade means that she has to get knowledge from other sources, which is a lot of trouble.

This is one of them.

The second is the jealousy and distrust among colleagues brought about by rapid promotion!

This one is the most terrible in An Jie's opinion!

If you don't have enough knowledge, you can always find a way to solve it if you are willing to work hard, but once no one trusts you, that's the real GAME OVER!!

Since she was not in the army, An Jie has been deliberately shaping her image. In order to be able to accumulate more contacts, to be able to have someone to help when promoted, and not to be held back by your own people on the battlefield.

But! Once it is rumored in the army that she is relying on backstage connections or other channels, such as that she is not actually the daughter of Lieutenant Cliff Scarlett, but the illegitimate daughter of a high-ranking general or something, for the sake of the commander's face, those junior officers may not say anything, but the reputation she has worked so hard to accumulate so far is over!!

People who have fought alongside An Jie like the soldiers of Sunderland City and Colonel Anson and Lieutenant Colonel Thompson may not think so, but other people who don't know the image that An Jie has worked hard to concave will label her as 'incompetent' in their hearts!

Coupled with the fact that she was only nine years old, a very bad first impression was established!

In a flash of thought, the girl took care of the problems that her promotion might bring! The more I think about it, the more headache I get! This promotion came too early and too suddenly! If she can make real achievements on many battlefields, no one will say anything even if she is directly transferred to warrant officer for this little thing!

The adjutant sitting on the edge of the bed obviously didn't think about it so much, he sincerely blessed An Jie, who could be promoted, in this encounter, how hard the girl worked, you can see it from the devastated battlefield!

The commander of the second battalion was said to be terrified when he saw the disembowelmented earth monster in the factory area!

Even he himself, when he saw the corpse of the Earth Demon Beast that was drilled into minced flesh by six steel bars, he was speechless for a long time!

………… In the end, it was the girl who fell in the ruins to provide evidence for this series of achievements.

Upon receiving the radio notification, they immediately launched fire to take out their opponents, and then quickly rushed to another battlefield not far from their position.

However, by the time they arrived, the battle was over.

Under the guidance of a homeless man, they found An Jie who had fallen in the ruins, and neither the regiment commander nor himself could believe it at that time!

Could this tattered doll in front of you be that Corporal Angel Scarlett?

There are multiple fractures in the body, bleeding from internal organs, broken muscle fibers, concussions, rolled skin, lung injuries, and a heart that stops beating for a while!

How the hell was it rescued?!!

The head of the regiment asked the doctor this, but the doctor only gave a sentence that I don't know.

"Either way, being alive is already a cause for celebration! Isn't it? ”

An Jie looked at him with her eyes exposed outside the bandage.

"Ah...... You're right. How many people are there...... Hmmm......"

"12 people were seriously injured and 9 people died, and minor injuries are not counted."

The adjutant took her words and continued, "Most of them were on our way, and when we entered the municipal district, we were attacked by three earth demon beasts, and we were caught off guard and died. ”

“………… Well, really...... Sorry............"

"You don't have to apologize for this, it's normal for people to die in war, and that's why soldiers exist."

"I don't agree with that."

"Huh?"

"Soldiers don't exist to die, they exist to win."

"Death and loss are the saddest things............ So............ For the sake of victory, even by any means............ I ............ too."

The figure of the family of three jumped into mind.

………… An Jie turned her head back again, not letting the adjutant see her expression.

"What did you say?"

"No, nothing. I'm a little tired, thank you for coming to see me, it's still scary to be alone in this empty hospital room............ Especially since I can't move. ”

"Yes."

The adjutant smiled gently: "Okay, I will come to see you again when I have time, and when the time comes, I will bring the regiment commander and them together, and the second battalion commander will always shout to tell you about his 'heroic deeds' of using field artillery to explode ★ the demonic beast on the ground!" ”

“………………”

“………… So, I'm gone. ”

"Hmm."

As the adjutant left, the door creaked and closed again, and the room returned to a quiet atmosphere.

An Jie turned her head to look at the table.

The two letters lay there quietly, waiting for someone to open them and read them.

………………

The atmosphere in the air was quiet and terrifying, and An Jie looked at the envelope, and there was finally a trace of fluctuation in her eyes that could not see the slightest emotion.

Two clumps of magic appeared out of thin air, one grabbing the envelope and the other lighting a kerosene lamp.

Using magic to put the envelope on the kerosene lamp and light it, Anjie turned her head back.

………… No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.
