It's a pity that such people always come uninvited, and they will find you wherever you are, even if you are in a small remote mountain village.

In the early autumn of the Year of the Stars and Moons, the peaceful life of Joanna's family was shattered into a pile of pieces that could never be repaired when a troop of cavalry came to visit.

Joanna, who was sweating, took the towel her father had prepared for her and opened the back door to enter the house, and when she saw a middle-aged man she had seen when she was a child, wearing a military uniform, sitting across from her father with a serious face, Joanna knew that something was happening.

Joanna's father, Rod, was thinking there with his head down with a cup of hot tea in his hand, when he heard the sound of the wooden door opening behind him, he turned his head and saw that it was his daughter, and a smile appeared on his face, "Joanna, you have finished practicing sword today, go and wash yourself, see that you are sweating again, and it is not until you are working so hard." ”

"Good father." Joanna quietly glanced at the expressions on the faces of all the guests in her house when her father was talking to her, and the smile that she did not have when she came to the host's house was all solemn. So Joanna, who was very discerning, knew that this was not the atmosphere that a thirteen-year-old girl should be in, so she nodded and turned around and left here.

"Old captain, this is your daughter Joanna, I haven't seen her for a few years, and she is becoming more and more provocative, and when I used to hold her, she was just a naughty child. Moreover, old captain, you have handed over all your skills to her, but at the age of thirteen, she is already at the peak of black iron, and your daughter's talent is better than yours. ”

"yes, so I really don't want to see you in my uniform......"

It was the last thing Joanna heard when she walked into the bathroom, her father's complaint.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the faces of his former comrades-in-arms, Rod shook his head helplessly, "You still can't speak like this, just such a sentence makes you choke, I really don't know what the general thinks, and he actually asked you to come out to find me." ”

"Because, everyone else has already gone up, and I was on vacation at the time, so I was assigned here to find you."

"Stephen, I'm just a blacksmith now, and I just want to be a blacksmith, I want to be with my daughter well, watch her grow up to be a beautiful big girl, and then find a good guy who can help me take care of her for the rest of her life." Rod put down the teacup in his hand and rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands.

"I also want to be with my family, and I wrote to you not long ago to tell you that my child is about to be born." A wry smile appeared on Stephen's face, he had also reached an age where he valued his family more than his own work.

"But, old captain, there are some things that we can't dodge if we want to." Stephen put away the wry smile on his face and looked squarely at the squadron leader he led himself, "I still remember what you said to me when I was a new recruit, old captain, war never changes by human will, for the sake of the families behind us, for the sake of those innocent lives, we will put on this military uniform and pick up the weapons in our hands." ”

"Yes, Stephen, I've always heard about your performance over the past few years, and you're doing a good job, even better than I used to." Rod sighed, leaning limply on the back of the chair behind him.

"I retract my previous words, and the general sent you out because he knew that you had the ability to convince me."

"Old Captain, what do you mean......" Stephen looked at Rod with a look of surprise on his face.

"I mean, you kid convinced me to get ready to put on the clothes I was going to bury Joanna with when I died of old age."

"Thank you for your understanding, old captain, since you agreed, I won't disturb you and your daughter's dinner, and please ask the old captain to come to Derbyshire to find me in three days, I'm sorry to disturb." After getting Rod's reply, Stephen finally showed a smile on his face, and the surprise in his heart was no longer hidden, he got up and told Lot about the time of the meeting, then turned around and took his men to leave, and when he walked to the door, Stephen suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Rod.

"I'm sorry, Captain Rod, my arrival has ruined your life and made you wear the clothes that once disappointed you again."

"."

"Excuse me."

After hearing the sound of horses' hooves from outside the courtyard gradually disappearing, Rhodes collapsed weakly and then sat back in his chair, staring at the ceiling above his head with a wry smile on his face.

"Sophie, I have broken my oath to you, and I will once again put on that military uniform that disgusts you, and walk on the battlefield that once kept you awake every night."

The cabin became silent until Joanna, who had taken a shower and changed her clothes, came downstairs and saw the exhaustion and sadness on her father's face, and Joanna silently walked up to him and replaced the tea that had been cold in front of her father.

"Joanna, do you blame Dad......" Rode's tired voice suddenly sounded in her ears as Joanna put the teacup in her hand on the table.

"No, because you're my dad, and you've always been my proudest dad." Joanna's immature voice said to her father in a very firm tone.

Joanna's words sent Rod a relieved chuckle, and his eyes weren't so dry as he stared at the ceiling overhead.

After a moment of silence, Joanna suddenly raised her head and looked at her father, "Dad, where did the war break out?" ”

"Bair Fortress and Elonia, that line of border has been attacked by the orc army, Elonia has been surrounded by heavy troops, and everything that the legion near the border can send has been sent, but this invasion of the orcs is too sudden, and the scale exceeds the expectations of the border legion, so even I, the person who was driven out of the army, was temporarily recruited, in the eyes of those upper echelons, I am an unqualified soldier."

"No, father, you have always been the most responsible and the best soldier in my eyes, I heard Angus's mother talk about you, you were kicked out of the army for stopping a high-ranking official from committing violence against unarmed women, and in my eyes, you are a hero who can stand up when the innocent and weak need protection."

Hearing his daughter's firm and proud tone ringing in his ears, the corners of Rod's mouth suddenly curled, it turned out that he was a hero in his daughter's heart.

"Joanna, are you going to blame Daddy for me this time?"

"Nope! Because Dad, you are here to protect the innocent people on the border who are in the war, they don't deserve to suffer like this, displacement and separation of relatives shouldn't happen on their heads, they are innocent and weak, and Dad, the military uniform you are about to put on again, isn't that what it is! ”

"That's good, Daddy is relieved, Joanna is sorry, Daddy is going to leave you for a while to protect those girls like you, their carefree lives are not ruined by the damn war." After listening to his daughter's words, Rhodes suddenly smiled with relief, put his hand on the top of Joanna's head and rubbed it, with a hint of apology on his face.

"Dad, you don't have to be sorry, because I want to go with you!"

"No, you can't!" Rhodes jumped up from his seat and glared at his daughter with a look of horror, he didn't go to the battlefield to protect his daughter from being able to live peacefully, Joanna actually told him that she wanted to go to war, what is it!

Joanna firmly met her father's gaze at her, and did not flinch, "Dad, my strength can protect myself, and Dad, I don't want to leave your side. ”

Rod's face softened, remembering the sparring with Joanna a few days ago, his daughter's strength surprised him, but he still shook his head, "Joanna, you are still too young, the war should not be borne by a child like you, unless we old men are in front, otherwise it will definitely not be your turn." ”

Joanna stared at her father stubbornly, and the girl's determined gaze made Rod smile bitterly in his heart, how could he not have found out that his daughter's personality was so similar to her mother, and she was so stubborn, it was really damned.

"Okay, you can come with me, but you have to stay behind, the front line is not where you should be." In the end, it was Rod who took a step back, he didn't want to leave his daughter, he was worried that his daughter would be bullied in his absence, even if the Angus couple had always taken good care of their daughter Joanna, but after all, they were not biological parents, right, it was impossible not to leave her all the time.

After hearing Rod's promise, Joanna excitedly jumped up and kissed her father, and then ran back to her room to share the news with Zachary.
