Shen Hao has a trait, that is, he is low-key, especially when the situation is unknown, so since he joined the Holy Crusade, he has tried to make himself an inconspicuous member of the army, although his previous military exploits have made him a squad leader in charge of twenty subordinates.

There are almost no weak warriors who can join the crusaders. Every year, tens of thousands of loyal and well-qualified soldiers from the major legions are selected to join this glorious army. However, all this time, the Holy Crusade of Erathia has been maintained at around 30,000 men. The reason for this is not at all mysterious, as this army is the shield of the Empire, the main force against the southern orc empire of Krurod. In front of the Helion Fortress, thousands of crusader warriors die again every year, and the prestige and glory of the Holy Crusaders are forged with iron and blood, and they are all fought with the Krulod warriors, who are known as the strongest soldiers in the mainland.

The Korulod Empire is located in the Esquil Mountains in the south of Erathia, and the rugged mountain passes and dense jungles make it impossible for the two knights of Erathia to perform as well as they should. On the contrary, the strong and warlike orc warriors are invincible in such an environment.

It is said that more than 100 years ago, the southern part of Erathia was much larger than it is today. However, since the war with the Korulod Empire, the army of Erathia has been defeated in successive battles, large areas of land have been occupied, and the people who have not had time to evacuate have been slaughtered.

The current king of Korurod, Jag, is an ambitious war maniac who has long coveted the rich lands of Erathia. Despite the face of the Xiongguan moat, two large legions were still stationed on this front, and from time to time they launched attacks on the fortress.

The main force defending the fortress of Hyrian was 20,000 Holy Crusader warriors, who guarded the Empire's southwestern gateway with a large number of low-ranking pikemen and crossbowmen. Although it occupies a huge geographical advantage, in the face of the terrifying combat power of the orc army, it can only barely maintain the battle loss ratio of the two sides at 1:2.

The war in the south contained nearly one-third of Erathia's national strength, and it was not until a year ago that Justin, the first division of the empire, sent an envoy to the Moon Song Forest and successfully established an alliance with the elven kingdom Avili, and deployed 50,000 troops to the west of Krurod, which contained the expansion momentum of Krurod's war machine, and reduced the pressure on the Helian Fortress a little.

Shen Hao is the new squad leader, but the twenty soldiers under him are all out-and-out veterans. Since Shen Hao entered the camp, these guys have been lukewarm to Shen Hao. Although it is not deliberately difficult, if they are instructed to do things, there is a good chance that they will be in violation.

For this situation, Shen Hao didn't care at all. Leading soldiers is neither his specialty nor his preference, except for the daily routine training, he doesn't care what happens to his group of guys, in addition to spending most of his time on the training ground, he will also wander around the city when he has time, while familiarizing himself with the nearby terrain and the various conditions of the world.

Although he had experienced a medium-sized war before, the war in this world was still unlike any battle he had ever experienced. Not every war of thousands of people can be won by individual bravery, and he needs to get used to this kind of group cold weapon warfare and learn to fight with a variety of arms.

Outside the barracks of the Silver Heavy Knights, Shen Hao walked towards his barracks while eating meatloaf for dinner. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw several men hurrying towards the barracks' medical office with a soldier covered in blood.

Shen Hao stopped, stuffed the remaining half of the meatloaf in his hand into his mouth and chewed it, but his eyes narrowed slightly. Although he did not like to meddle in things, there were things that he could not completely ignore, because he could clearly see that the wounded soldier and the few people who supported him were subordinates of his own team.

Crumpling the oil paper bag in his hand into a ball and throwing it into the garbage heap on the side, Shen Hao walked towards the medical office unhurriedly. Before he reached the door of the infirmary, he could faintly hear the angry conversations of several people inside.

"That Casper is just too much! Obviously, he lost the money, and he actually beat Duke like this! The voice was very angry, and Shen Hao knew that this was the voice of Colter, the largest soldier in his team.

"Who made the eldest brother of the family the captain of the Seventh Brigade, and my father is still the earl of the Empire, I have already advised Duke, don't gamble with the people of the Seventh Brigade casually, those guys' gambling products are very bad!" The voice of the reply was a little hoarse, it should be the veteran Garnier from the small town of Lausanne in the north of the empire.

"Duke is also a substitute for others" The owner of this voice is relatively young, it should be Martin, "Casper gathered dozens of people to cooperate in gambling and deceived one of Duke's fellow countrymen into penniless, and I heard that he almost signed the deed of sale. Duke was so angry that he went to bet with them, who knew that the other party would beat people if he lost! ”

"Squeak-" Shen Hao had already pushed open the wooden door of the infirmary, and several people sitting on the bench were excited, and after looking back at Shen Hao, he breathed a sigh of relief, and got up and gave him a military salute in a perfunctory manner: "Hello Captain Shen!" ”

"How's Duke?" Shen Hao smiled and nodded, and didn't care about the perfunctory in the eyes of the other party, anyway, he, the team leader, had no prestige in the eyes of these people, and even after joining the team for almost two weeks, the twenty of them had said no more than a hundred words to themselves.

"There's nothing in danger of life, those guys know the bottom line of military law," Garnier replied with a sigh, "but Duke's right hand and right leg were broken, and even if they could be connected, it would have an impact on future operations."

Shen Hao had already heard about the incident outside the door, so he didn't ask any more specific details, just glanced at everyone lightly, and said, "Comrades are beaten, don't you all help?" ”

"How do you know we didn't make a move?!" The big man Colt's eyes bulged, and his tone was not a little respectful to Shen Hao, he stood up and pointed to his slightly bruised right cheek, and then ripped open the clothes on his chest, revealing a bruise-purple scar, and said indignantly, "There are only four of us, and the other party has forty,

"Who made the eldest brother of the family the captain of the Seventh Brigade, and my father is still the earl of the Empire, I have already advised Duke, don't gamble with the people of the Seventh Brigade casually, those guys' gambling products are very bad!"
