John and Mali walked to a fork in the road, with the operational command room where John was going on the left and the makeshift church that Carrot wanted to reach on the right.

John first had to submit the mission, and this time John's team was indeed tasked with sniping the Earl of Dungar, who was about to leave, so he could leave from the captain of John's team in charge very easily, and I don't know if it was the arrangement made by Ter and Ann, these tasks were assigned to the radish - I always feel that the two brothers and sisters attach some importance to this radish, does he have any outstanding ability?

Walking in such a cranky way, John soon arrived at the wartime command post on the front, the town center building, which was originally the mayor's office building.

It is said to be a building, but in fact it is only a three-story building, not to mention John's Villa, and even the villa area outside is not as good. This is also very normal, this is just a border town without any trade routes, if you can build an office building like a luxury villa in the rich area of the national capital, is it really the church here to take out the anger?

John went to the guard at the door and gave him his armband to identify himself. The doorman was holding the armband, and he didn't know what method was used, but the armband glowed yellow. The guard saw the yellow light and respectfully handed back the armband: "Welcome back, Your Excellency Viscount." ”

John took the armband, nodded and asked, "Hello, I'm going to submit the assignment now, where should I go?"

The guard seemed to be a little flattered and didn't even dare to say: "Your Excellency, if you want to submit the task assigned by your superiors, you need to find your immediate superior. I don't know who you're looking for?"

"Well, in this case, what I'm looking for is ......" Speaking of this, John froze for a moment, recalled his non-existent superior, and said: "Captain of the First Brigade of the Third Regiment of the Noble Expeditionary Knights, Baron Duncan of Birmingham." ”

"Wait a minute. The guard took out a parchment scroll from his bosom and searched for it for a while: "The Baron of Birmingham is in the debriefing and has not come out. If you're looking for him, you can ask someone else in the command. ”

"Thank you. With a wave of his hand, John put his armband on his left arm and walked through the side door that the guard had opened.

The first thing you see when you enter the compound of the office building is a path made of stone slabs, and on either side of the path is a lawn that extends to the corner of the wall, and the stone path leads to the gate of the office building, and on each side of the gate are two heavily armed knights, holding large shields and spears guarding the doorway. There are also at least two squads of guards patrolling around the building.

Walking down the path to the door of the office building, the guard blocked the door with his spear crossed: "Sir, if you want to go in, please hand over your weapon first." John looked at them a little strangely, "Why, do you still have to hand over your weapons?" The guard replied, "Yes sir, anyone who wants to enter the command building must hand over their weapons, and you can take your weapons back with your armband when you leave, please rest assured that it is safe." ”

John took the sword from his waist and handed it over: "Anyone?" "Yes, anyone. The guard took his sword and kicked the statue beside him, and the statue moved away, revealing a staircase leading underground. At this point, the guard turned around and said, "Sir, please take out your armband or any other item that can prove your identity." John was a little curious when he saw the tunnel, and took off the armband again: "I used it when I entered the door just now, but I didn't expect to use it." If I knew I wouldn't have put it on, it's troublesome. "I beg your pardon, sir. The guard took the armband: "The one at the gate is the original garrison of this town, and he doesn't know much about the process of the military department, so he didn't remind him." ”

"Now there are a lot of people from this town working for us?" said John, thinking of Simon the Blacksmith and his son.

Speaking of which, blacksmithing is originally a profession that has a lot to do with combat weapons, and it is very normal to be forced to enlist in the army in the face of war, even if old Simon's craftsmanship cannot create very good and outstanding equipment, but it is already very good to be able to build ordinary quality weapon armor in batches. After all, the greatest number of high-end combat power needed in war is not a large number of ordinary soldiers, and ordinary soldiers cannot afford to spend on high-quality equipment; most of the officers and nobles who can accept the price of high-end equipment go to the battlefield with their own equipment.

Thinking of this, John opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know that the original blacksmiths here were conscripted into the army?" The guard thought for a moment and said, "I didn't pay attention, there should be, after all, the number of blacksmiths in our army is not abundant now, and it is possible to recruit blacksmiths in order to be able to replenish them on the spot." Sir, is there anyone else you know here?"

John nodded and said, "Yes, I once met a blacksmith father and son here, and I didn't think there would be any intersection after leaving. I didn't expect that the front-line combat headquarters was set up here this time, and I just happened to meet by the way. ”

The guard turned and walked into the basement, not knowing what he had done. John thought it was best not to peep into this kind of underground building, knowing that there were three fully armed guards staring at him, and he didn't want to cause a misunderstanding. After a while, the guard who had gone underground came up, handed the armband back, nodded with his companion, and opened the door to the office building.

Walking into the office building, John saw a number of figures walking back and forth in the hallway.

"Hey, which unit are you from?" John heard someone talking to him on his right and turned his head to look over. A woman in a civilian uniform stood there and said to John with a large pile of parchment rolls in her hands.

"I'm ...... of the Third Regiment of the Noble Expeditionary Knights," John was about to report his number when someone asked. As soon as she opened her mouth, the woman heard the name of the Noble Expeditionary Knights, and she had already spoken: "Noble Knights? That's right, help me bring these things to room 1-108." As he spoke, he gave John the scroll in his bosom.

John didn't know what to do, so he said, "I'm here to report on my work...... "Don't talk about those who have and don't, don't you see that we're too busy? ”

Just like that, inexplicably, John held the scroll and watched the woman turn around and enter a room again: Speaking of which, which room is that 1-108?

After a while, the woman came back with a large pile of scrolls. Seeing John standing there stunned, he was a little annoyed: "Why are you still standing here? Didn't you ask you to bring those scrolls to 1-108?" John twisted his head, but now held something: "Even if you say that, I don't know which room 1-108 is." “...... Forget it, you follow me. The woman remembered that John had said that she had come to report on her work, and was speechless about her arrangement: she had done so much that she had forgotten about it.

Holding the scroll, John followed the woman, took a few steps and asked, "How is the battle on the battlefield now?"

"It's troublesome, there are all kinds of rebels everywhere, and there are even the original lords who organized the army to resist head-on...... I'll tell you what to do, it's here. The woman led John into a room with an open door. It can be seen that this is probably a document management office, with several large bookshelves in it, and scroll books are placed on the shelves. John put down the scroll in his arms and was about to go out, when the woman spoke again: "Don't go, don't go, there's still a lot to carry." ”

John:...... Forget it, it's a handful to be able to help now, and it just so happens that I'm not in a hurry.
