When the Spencer boy left, Marin got up, shook hands with the officers one by one, and finally came to the veteran and helped him to his feet.

"Your Excellency, that is an excellent child, and I see in him the shining point that belongs to young people." The old man, who was getting older, said with a smile.

Marin thinks so too, because Tonkin does have the qualities that a political commissar should have, loyalty, bravery, and in addition to leading by example, the kind of bullshit movie in which Americans invest in French directors to impose the actions of the French Overseers in World War I on the commissar is simply discrediting this great name.

The reason why Marin told the commissars to cherish their own lives is also for their own sake in the final analysis - the commissars rushing to the front means that they have almost the same death rate as the infantry, such excellent young people should not die on the front line so cheaply, you must know that Marin needs at least 300 class hours to educate a commissar class, and once these neurotics start to go crazy, it only takes an hour to be able to play themselves to death on the front line.

"You're old, veteran." After sighing, Marin looked at the old man in front of him with some embarrassment.

When he was a child, he met this old man on the street of the scuffle, at that time, this old man was not so old, although he was old, but his tactical movements had not been deformed, but now, this old man has been slightly hunched back.

The years are like knives, and knives urge people to grow old.

Marin has already sent away many people, looking at the old man in front of him, thinking of the future tide of death, Marin knows that he will definitely send more away.

I still remember that my old dean said that everyone is born in this world with a mission, and Marin knows that her mission must be to educate the abandoned babies, sick children and orphans year after year.

But Marin never confirmed what his mission would be.

"Your Excellency, I am not you, there is no towering sequence, and there is no great youth to squander, you see, my home was shattered by chaos when I was young, I entered the king's army for revenge, and I was lucky enough to live to that age, and then came to your banner, I have a new home, I have children, I am born as a human being, I have no regrets, I just want to live one more day under your banner, enjoy one more day, and teach children one more day." The old man was telling the truth.

Marin smiled and nodded-this veteran must have had a good family when he was young, but he was destroyed by chaos, and he joined the army as a young man, for himself, for his family, and for the innocent man of this world: "I'm leaving, veteran, next time I'll invite you to drink." ”

"Your Excellency, you ...... It's going to stop this tide of death, right? As he was about to leave the door, Marin was stopped by an inquiry from behind him, and he turned to look at the veteran, who was a little apprehensive, a little hesitant, and a little more worried.

"Why do you ask, veteran?" Marin asked.

"Because...... Because the junior officers all say that you are the strongest executor and sage of Northernism, and you are the savior of the toiling masses of the world...... I, I don't come from like them, although I don't have a home anymore, but the friends I knew when I was young are still there, and they live well, but if ...... If you're really like what they say, who will live longer between me and them is a puzzle to which I don't even know the answer. With that, the old man's face was full of sorrow.

Marin knew that his friend was fake, and that his unspoken love that would never be recovered was the real one.

But all this is not a dinner party, so Marin must answer: "Veteran, I can see that you don't look like a peasant descendant from a mud-legged background, your collar is always so clean, your nails are always clean, you say you have fought for decades, but I can see that you are also a gentleman on the battlefield...... So, does it really matter what kind of doctrine I am, I just want everyone in this world to live, those young people think that I don't raise lazy people, I don't compromise with the aristocracy, and I want to take the mortals in this world to open up something...... Indeed, if it weren't for the Chaos Gods, I would definitely do this. ”

Looking at the veteran, Marin spoke his heart: "If there is no chaos, no tide of death, no so many damn invaders, I will definitely do this." For I cannot watch a man be hanged because he cannot pay the rent, or his whole family dies of hunger, nor can he go into the woods to hunt a rabbit, just because everything in the woods is owned by the nobles...... Veteran, if it were not for Chaos and its minions, your friends, my greatest enemies in this life, I would do my best to destroy them, destroy their existence, destroy their history, destroy their future...... For I know that any compromise will only bring them back one day in the future, and that all the deaths, all the sacrifices, all the descendants of those who have been hurt in this age, will be ruled by them again, and the Lord of Justice has a good saying, "Eliminate evil." ”

The veteran was silent, and finally nodded, a smile appeared on his face: "You are right, if there is no family ruin, there is no experience of the next person struggling in the world, I will indeed stand on the opposite side of you, but now I am your chief political commissar, your will is my will, I will serve you until I take my last breath, how good it would be if there was no chaos, I also want to see how beautiful the Datong world will be in the mouths of the northerners, they said, It was a world where everyone could eat potato stew with Salo meat. ”

“…… It's very beautiful, but I don't think that their doctrine can succeed, and I even wonder if my idea will succeed, because veterans, a world of great harmony needs all the people in the world to have knowledge and empathy, and they need to understand that everyone must burst out with the greatest strength, and it needs the selfless dedication of our generation after generation to be able to build such a world...... It's almost impossible to achieve beauty. Marin walked over to the veteran and helped him to the exit.

The old man looked at Marin, and it wasn't until he entered the corridor that he said with some confusion: "If all this is not destined to be realized, why would you do this." ”

"Because we have done it, we will let the world know that we have existed, so that people can yearn for it, we can fail, we can die, but all this done by our generation will be remembered by history, and it will be remembered by generations of people, it turns out that in addition to being a dog, there is a way to be a man." Marin smiled at this.

They are giving you these not because they have a conscience, but because we have been here.

"Veteran, the road is there, everyone has the right to choose, some people want to be prosperous dogs, some people want to be troubled people, that's their freedom, we are just mortals, we just pave the road, let them go by themselves, let them choose their own destiny."

“…… You're right, how good it would be if our generation could put an end to the tide of death, and then our next generation would put an end to the suffering caused by chaos so that everyone would no longer be tempted by it...... If all this can be done, will there be one of the greatest wars between us human beings? ”

The veteran asked such a question.

To this, Marlin nodded.

"Yes, it will be the greatest war, the war that will end all strife, and I believe that one day it will come."

Yes, there will be a day, because the world has never believed in the tears of the weak, and only the strong have the qualifications to survive.

And I, I've always been a ...... Romantic Doom Slayer.

………………

When sending the veteran home, Marin met his son, who had been a snotty little cub the last time he had seen him, and who was now dressed in a scout uniform.

"Lord Marin!" The boy saluted Marin, then reached out to hold his father.

"I've handed over my chief commissar to you, Scout Lawson, and look out for him."

"Mission Guaranteed Completion! Excellency! ”

The child was full of heart and said goodbye to his father, and Marin braved the snow to make his way to the old mansion, where he was going to see his adoptive father.

It's been half a month, and although the newsboys say that old Gaiat will go out with a big dog every day, Marin still wants to see him, because he is the first person to show him kindness after Marin came to this era.

At the same time, there is still something to look for him today, so he can't be sloppy.

The snow was getting heavier, and Marlin walked on a somewhat slippery road, and his good balance allowed him to do it with ease, but from time to time he saw someone falling, and whenever this happened, Marlin would always use his psionic energy to support the other person, either in exchange for thanks, or in exchange for salute.

Marin always smiled and nodded in return, such a beautiful world is the world Marlin wants to protect.

Although Marin always said that he didn't want to be a savior, he ...... Men will always have dreams, and the self in the dream, or superhero, or fairy wind bones, what they do is also a good deed for the lives of the living.

As for the kind of story protagonist who raised half the village for a pill, treated his fellow disciples as piglets, and regarded each other's robber logic as the protagonist of the story where the virtuous lived, it was not what Marin wanted to be.

This kind of chaotic divine choice is better to get rid of it as soon as possible and then come quickly.

Coming to the gate of the old mansion in a cranky way, Marin looked at the half-open door, and he reached out and pushed it open—his father lived on the first floor, so when he opened the door, he saw the big dog.

Said to be a big dog, in fact, it is more like a wolf, this is the spirit that my father brought back from the black area of the Eastern Kingdom during his last adventure, this wolf was with the old Gaiate for four days and three nights, originally it wanted to add a meal, but I didn't expect it to be hungry in the end, so at midnight on the fourth day, the hungry wolf finally lost his patience, and staged a big scene of man and nature in the vast grassland with the old Gaiat.

The result, of course, was that the wolf finally succumbed to Gayat's iron fist and the good taste of jerky.

Anyway, that's the situation, humans have jerky, and fists, and they can't beat them, so they can only be friends.

You see, to be a wolf, or to be a big dog, or to play the only male protagonist in the big pot of broth, the road is there, this little bastard himself is quite good at choosing.

Marin patted the big dog's head, the latter was already familiar with Marin, so Wang worked extremely hard, not only made love with Marin for a long time, but also ran in front of Marin, and attracted the old father to Marin.

"Father, I'm back." Marin stood in the doorway with a smile and looked at his old father in an apron.

Gayat's head turned two points whiter, although he deviated from the path of the sequence, but after all, he was an existence that had peeked into the avenue of legends, and he looked far tougher than the veteran.

"It's good to come back, can you eat here at noon?" After speaking, the old father raised the knife in his hand: "I just bought meat today, if you eat it, I will give you a barbecue." ”

"No, I'm going to Rongma in the afternoon...... By the way, Maya, she's pregnant. Marin looked at the old man in front of him and said.

Old Gaiatte was silent for a while, and just when Marin felt that he was facing his father's pursuit and rushed out of the door, the old father smiled: "Do I want to say congratulations?" ”

"Thank you, I'm here to tell you about it, she'll be recuperating at Rongma's side, so she can't come back to see you until she gives birth to a child, but I can take you there, father, Fort Carter is too cold, I'll take you to Rongma."

Marin looked at the old man in front of him, who was silent, and finally shook his head instead of yes or no.

"In this city, there is my most beloved person who sleeps for a long time, and I don't want to leave her...... Can you understand. ”

“…… I understand. ”

Of course I understand, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to retire from the army, chose to return to my hometown, chose to be an ordinary person, and was finally sent to this era because of an ordinary good deed.

Marin nodded, and hugged his old father with open arms.

"Marin, my child, take care of Maya, my most beloved daughter, she couldn't even walk when I took her out of the Great Woodlands, I brought her up and gave her to you...... Don't let her down. Old Gayat finished speaking in Marin's ear and let go of his hand.

"Definitely, I will not fail her."

So the father and son each took a step back.

"Tell Maya that I will definitely go to see her in two months, and then I will stay in Rongma for two months."

"Well, I'll tell her."

Marin was happy, because for Maya's sake, the old man finally made a compromise and chose to leave his fortress for the sake of his favorite daughter.

"Father, then I'll go first." As he walked out the door, Marin looked back at the old father.

"Go ahead, I know you're busy, and I'm busy, so I'm not going to send you." After saying that, old Gayat picked up the knife from the table beside him and waved it.

Marin smiled and took off his hat and saluted, then walked to the door.

"Don't waste yourself out there!" Behind him came the voice of an old father's instructions.

"Don't worry, if the world is not destroyed, I won't go offline!" After saying that, Marin laughed.

Although the body is young, the mentality is already old.

No, a man is a teenager until he dies.

Me too.
