Kareni City, North District.

This is the closest area to the barracks, second only to the central area in terms of prosperity.

The efficiency of the Imperial Army is amazing, and Vega, who has just been promoted to the position of Squad Leader of 17, was assigned a 25-square-meter private room belonging to him in the North District that night, with a bathroom and kitchen.

Probably due to the habit of serving in the army for most of the year.

It only took an hour for Vega to make everything up, make a comfortable bed, make herself a hearty dinner, and then turn off the lights at 21:00 and lay down on the bed to get ready to sleep.

Drowsiness is not deep.

Vega looked through the windows and thin curtains at the faint wisps of stars in the dark night sky, and his nose was sour and he almost shed tears.

How long has it been?

How long has it been since he had enjoyed a hearty dinner alone, as he did tonight, lying in a comfortable bed, his beating heart and quiet air telling him that he was still alive in the world.

"Good work. Vega murmured softly.

After 10 months and 3 days in this world, he was finally able to eat a full meal and have a house of his own.

He had just learned that the newly appointed squad seemed to be just an ordinary backbone team, not an elite squad, and as long as a full-scale war did not break out, he could live a stable life.

Stable daily life.

This is the life that Vega dreams of.

According to the current situation, this kind of life can probably last for a few years, and Vega, who has been tired all day, finally fell asleep with a smile on his face, and is looking forward to getting along with his subordinates tomorrow.

————

The next day, 6:30.

Vega, who had had a good night's sleep, got up on time, and after ten minutes of washing, he walked out of the room with the new standard weapon and spear that had been issued to him, bought buns downstairs and walked to the barracks.

Along the way, it is inevitable that there will be surprised eyes.

"No, Emperor, Imperial Soldier......"

"Such a young child is a corporal rank?"

"Hurry up, walk quickly, don't get in his way. ”

Pedestrians may be surprised, distressed, or incredible...... Some looked at his weapons with fearful eyes.

According to the regulations of the Nuolan Empire, ordinary civilians were not allowed to carry a series of weapons such as swords and spears on the streets, except for the army and the government's law enforcement team, only some nobles or large chambers of commerce were allowed to carry weapons.

It is human nature to fear soldiers.

Soldiers are generally not allowed to leave the barracks, but if a regular soldier who leaves the barracks commits a crime of homicide, the local law enforcement team cannot try it on its own, but must refer it to a special military court for adjudication.

Of course, this law does not cover soldiers without military ranks.

Vega's military rank was corporal, and although he was only the lowest-ranking officer in the army, ordinary civilians and merchants in the empire did not dare to provoke him, except for magicians, nobles, professionals, and some large powers.

Even if he looked like a half-grown child, no one dared to underestimate his sharp spear.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Vega arrived at the barracks.

As a squad leader, if he does not receive an order from above, he will generally train the squadron alone in the morning, and the squad leader will be responsible for command and arrangement, and in the afternoon, the squadron will be held for joint combat training, and battalion-level unified combat training will be held regularly.

Come to the training grounds.

As a general rule, the training time is about 7:00, and the elite troops need to push forward by half to an hour.

But as far as the eye could see, Team 17 didn't even see a single figure.

“121212......”

An hour had passed, and the first round of training for the other teams had ended, and it was time to rest, but not a single soldier had arrived from his team, and only Vega stood alone in the wind.

Squinting her eyes and grimacing, Vega waited quietly in a striding stride.

If it were an adult officer standing like this, I am afraid that there would be a feeling of not being angry and threatening, but Vega put on such a posture like a child pretending to be mature, which looked slightly funny.

His comical stance also caught the attention of the other squad soldiers.

Some passing soldiers wanted to laugh at this scene, but they were attracted by the Iron Cross on Vega's chest, and hurriedly saluted Vega with their expressions.

The Iron Cross is a high honor.

Under the 20-year armistice agreement, there are few medals awarded today, and the only common ones are the Outstanding Soldier Medal issued by the boot camp, and the Iron Cross, a medal with relatively high gold content, can only be obtained by killing a certain number of officers and soldiers of the enemy country and making great contributions.

The soldiers who defend the glory of the empire will be respected.

This medal is like a talisman, while showing off the merits and strength of the war, and enough to gain everyone's respect, even if Vega commits a serious crime, he will be punished lightly, and Vega in the regiment naturally understands this show of goodwill.

The needle pointed to nine o'clock, and Vega saw the squad of soldiers arrive.

At the head were the corporal deputy captain and a young soldier with the rank of senior private, their faces were not panicked, only the seven ordinary soldiers without military rank behind them cowered and bowed their heads.

The senior soldier looked nervously, "Vice Captain, we're going to be fine, right?"

The deputy captain snorted: "Pretending, are you afraid of a child?"

The senior soldier said worriedly: "I heard that he killed ten United Kingdom soldiers, and the Iron Cross cannot be faked, and we can be directly executed according to military regulations for our flagrant disobedience." ”

"He dares!"

Standing in line, the deputy captain didn't care about Vega in front of him, and deliberately said loudly: "The army is not a place for rich children to play in the mud, how can it be a child's play to defend the glory of the dignity of the empire? ”

Bang bang bang.

Vega opened his squinted eyes, revealing the innocent eyes unique to children, and said in a milky voice: "Uncle is so powerful, uncle, can you tell me what a soldier is?"

"Poof......haha"

The nine team members were amused by the innocent attitude of the Vega child, and the seven team members who were still cowering were also relaxed, it seems that the demon name circulated in the third battalion is completely exaggerated, and in the end it is really a child as the deputy team said.

The vice-captain straightened up and said, "What is an Imperial soldier? An Imperial soldier is not something you can imagine as a child. Imperial soldiers are a glorious profession with a high social status, and we take absolute obedience to orders as our duty, and fight bravely on the battlefield to defend the glory of the empire and protect the peace of the empire. ”

Vega continued to exclaim in a milky voice: "Wow, then you are so good~, is my uncle an imperial soldier?"

Vega's gesture was so satisfying to the vice-captain's vanity that he even wanted to laugh for a while, and he said proudly, "Of course, I am the Imperial soldier you admire. ”

"What will happen if the uncle and the soldier disobey the order?"

"Of course, they will be punished, ranging from dismissal to death. ”

Hearing the deputy captain's answer, the senior soldier felt a chill in his heart.

He gently tugged on the vice captain's sleeve and whispered, "Vice captain, don't say it again." ”

"Corporal!"

Vega's face changed suddenly.

He drew the spear next to him and aimed it directly at the throat of the deputy captain: "You have violated Article 1 of Chapter 1 of the First Category of the Imperial Army's Military Regulations: In any case, you must absolutely obey the orders of your superiors. Now, I will exercise the power of the Empire to execute the death penalty on you, do you have any objection?"
