Looking at Ye Qi, who was in training at this time, wielding a long sword and sticking to Stanley Ford, hearing the footsteps behind him, Commander Kress, who naturally knew who it was, asked without a head: "How is it?" ”

Aaron, who also understood what the commander was asking him, shook his head before he said, "Captain Hank, I have been all over the Kamet settlement in the Quirding region in the past few days, and I have not been able to find out anything about Ye Qi's background. I just received a letter from Captain Hank's Falcon, asking you if you want to expand your search. ”

"Forget it, let them come back. Winter is coming, and they need to prepare for this 16-year-long winter, and there are many more. ”

Commander Cress, who instructed like this, asked again, "Have you counted the casualties that attacked the manor area south of Bal City eight days ago?" ”

Aaron, who nodded at this, said from the large pile of documents he was holding in his left hand: "Yes, the garrison of Baal City yesterday has already counted these. The total number of dead and wounded was 2,312, although most of them were servants, private soldiers and guards, and of course some merchants who had gone to take refuge in the summer. However, twelve nobles also died, and the highest rank was an earl......"

"Earl? Which earl? ”

Under Commander Cress's interruption, he obviously understood what the old man in front of him wanted to ask Aaron, so he said: "It's Count Srdan of the Black Mine in Horseshoe Town, and he was taking his ladies and ladies to take refuge in the manor area at that time. I didn't expect to encounter such an abnormal ghoul sneak attack, and I was directly served by the ghouls. ”

"What about his heirs?"

After flipping through the documents in his hand, Aaron said, "The eldest son is studying at the Knight of Dante's academy in the city of Baal, and he has rushed back to Fort Sardan three days ago. ”

Thinking of the previous prison in Baal City, the criminals who should have been assigned to the Night's Watch unit were all taken by this guy Srdan, who had a meager blood relationship with the Grand Duke of the Duchy, and all of them were pulled to the Black Mine as coolies, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "I will inform Ford and let him go to the cell in the city, and in the future, all those who break the law will be accepted by Black Rock Castle." ”

After seeing Aaron nod, Commander Kress waved his hand again, motioning for the former to continue.

"Yesterday, the two reservists, who were too wounded, finally died in their hospital beds. Add in the 24 people we lost that night, including two of the Night's Watch brothers who swore an oath to the sacred tree, and our total loss is 26. The garrison of Bal City suffered 374 dead and wounded and 175 missing in the battle that night......"

Upon hearing this, Commander Kress couldn't help but interrupt: "175 missing? ”

"Yes, at least that's the written report on the desk of the host of the city of Bal."

For the explanation of his own affairs officer behind him, he couldn't help frowning, and Commander Cress, who obviously understood the cattiness, couldn't help but say a little angrily: "Since two years ago, this Bauer, who was canonized with the title of knight, has become more and more disagreeable. Aaron, go to the command room of the garrison in the city and tell him that if he can't replenish the garrison of Baal City to full strength before winter, then wait for the Rangers to drag him from the mistress's house to the streets at night to carry out the "Winter Order"! ”

Obviously, he understood that the "winter order" mentioned by Commander Kress meant that when the Terran countries entered winter, Aaron, as the night watch legion on the front line of the Terran race, had a certain priority level of regional decision-making power, and he couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.

After all, since he joined the Night's Watch at the age of 16, he'd only heard the "Winter Directive" from others, but never seen it with his own eyes.

Half ringing, seeing the old man in front of him who had spent seven winters, there was no other indication. I couldn't help but be a little curious, and under the guidance of the former's gaze, Aaron, who focused his gaze on the training ground in the distance, exclaimed in the next moment: "How is this possible!" ”

On the side, Commander Kress, who obviously understood why his affairs officer was so surprised, just said lightly: "Don't be surprised, the reason why this kid Ye Qi has been stuck with Ford for so long. Although, there is a relationship between Ford's power and speed that has been suppressing itself. However, the more reason is that this kid's swordsmanship is really good. Of course, this kid has officially entered the black iron class in terms of physical strength and strength. ”

"But how could this be? Half a month ago, he joined the Night's Watch Reserve, and even in the Reserve, his strength was still at the level of the middle and lower reaches. How is it possible, in just half a month, he has officially stepped into the hall of transcendentals?! ”

"Compared to this, what I care more about is that this kid has improved from a beginner to such a level of sword skills in just half a month!"

Commander Kress, who obviously understood why Aaron was so surprised, was also shocked by this, so he didn't say what he was thinking about above, but replied like this: "Such a talent is indeed rare in the tens of thousands of years of human history. But what if this kid has some bloodline from the Dawn Elves who are the people of silver......"

Commander Cress, who said this, turned to look at Aaron, who was dumbfounded, and said: "Master Billy, some half-elves have been identified in ancient books, because if the Terran bloodline in the body accounts for more than the elven blood, the appearance will be a half-elf that completely conforms to the appearance of the human race, so ......"

Aaron, who obviously understood what Commander Kress was going to say, opened his mouth and continued: "So, Ye Qi is not a Kamit at all, and if Captain Hank can find the identity of Ye Qi in the Quirding area, then there is really an undead, because he is a ...... at all."

Before Aaron could say his next words, Commander Kress interrupted with a serious face: "Alright, that's all there is to it about!" Ye Qi is just a Baron of Dorne who was led by Dorne and sold it to the Carmit of the Night's Watch for 42 gold Muton. Do you understand? Aaron! ”

"Understood, sir!"

………………

Ye Qi, who was already sweating profusely at this time, looked at the former who didn't even breathe, and he already understood the gap between the black iron class and the red copper class, so he quickly took a few steps back and shouted loudly: "You win, Captain Ford!" ”

And Stanley Ford, who obviously saw from the beginning that Ye Qi had exhausted his strength and had already taken a step forward in pursuit, could only stop, glanced at the former coldly, and dropped a sentence: "Not bad." After that, he turned around and left without looking back.

However, when Stanley Ford returned to the warehouse where the training weapons were placed, and inserted the blunt sword in his hand back into the weapon rack, from the violent shaking of the weapon rack, anyone who was familiar with him would know that this guy must be feeling very unhappy at this time.

On the other side, he was walking towards the cafeteria, watching people give a thumbs up to Brother Ye beside him, whether it was familiar with Brother Ye or not, Brother Ye was Jim who smiled and nodded in response, and said like this: "Brother Ye, you are so powerful, in the pure competition of sword skills, even Tina can't last two minutes in the hands of Captain Ford." ”

After getting the affirmation of so many people, Ye Qi, who was inevitably a little proud, stretched out his hand to go around Jim, who reached to his shoulder, and said, "That's, don't worry, my brother will cover you in the future." ”

However, in the next moment, Ye Qi, who seemed to be targeted by a fierce beast, turned his head tremblingly.

In front of the kitchen door on the side of the restaurant, old Jim, who was sharpening a pig-killing knife, stared at Ye Qi's right hand that was stopped on Jim's right shoulder, and threatened in a cold tone: "Boy, before I chop off your pig's trotter, you still have a breath to take that pig's trotter away from Jim." ”

A few days ago, by chance, when I saw Commander Kress and Old Jim meeting at the door of the kitchen, after Commander Kress politely greeted Old Jim, he had already realized that this Old Jim's identity was not as simple as Ye Qi, who was a chef of Black Rock Castle on the surface, and subconsciously let go of his hand at the moment.

And Jim, who was on the side with a little red cheeks, shouted angrily at old Jim at this time: "Father, if you do this again, I will ignore you." ”

Looking at Jim, who shouted like this, he didn't look back and ran towards the night watchman's family residence in the distance, and for a while, Ye Qi and Old Jim, who were dumbfounded, subconsciously glanced at each other, and saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

Then, looking at the old Jim, who also put down the "pig killing knife" in his hand, which was chasing Jim's back, Ye Qi couldn't help muttering: "What a strange father and son...... However, Jim is usually too much of a sissy, do you find a way to get him to change it? But, seriously, what secrets are hidden in this so-called residential area of the relatives of the night watch? ”

With such doubts, Ye Qi couldn't help but look up at the unusually towering peak in the distance, which was divided into a forbidden area by the night watchmen "Night Watch Family Residential Area".
