The fire is raging.

Vega packed Leah's ashes into an elaborate urn.

He held the urn and stood quietly in the backyard, with no sadness or joy on his face, and his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water that could not be rippled at all. Vega let the cold wind of the winter solstice lap against his thin body, and he looked particularly desolate.

"Company commander, the wind is blowing, please take care of yourself. ”

Adjutant Char cautiously stepped forward to greet him, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes.

Vega didn't look back: "Adjutant, where is the best cemetery in the North District?"

Adjutant Char said: "The best in the northern district is the western suburbs cemetery, where only the titles of nobles can be buried in it, and the cemetery also has a family of tomb keepers who have been passed down from generation to generation, if the company commander wants to bury your relatives in it, I am afraid it will be a little difficult, although the rest of the cemetery is not as good as the western suburbs cemetery, but there are not many restrictions." ”

"Let's go, the cemetery in the western suburbs. ”

Vega gave the order and turned and walked out the door, and the bakery was on fire at the same time.

The fire stood out in the cold wind, and it seemed to want to melt the whole winter on its own, but the sudden fall of goose feather snow would eventually drown out the only light and warmth of winter.

The first snow of the year still came.

Da-da-da-da.

Crossing the East Avenue and passing through the Ten Mile Lane, Vega headed towards the Western Suburbs Cemetery.

He was followed by Adjutant Charles and a guard team of 10 people, and as for the remaining 150 people of the company, the deputy company commander had already begun to carry out simple cleaning and coordinated support tasks according to the requirements of the regimental headquarters.

I walked for more than half an hour.

Vega saw a magnificent cemetery, where the tombstones stood and the surroundings were clean and tidy, only the bluestone slabs on the ground that were old told that it had been passed down for hundreds of years.

"Adjutant, is this it?"

"Yes, company commander. ”

Adjutant Char said with some embarrassment: "If it goes any further, the tomb keeper family is expected to intervene to stop it, and this cemetery even prohibits people from non-noble families from entering it." ”

"No non-nobles allowed to enter?"

Vega snorted, his eyes a little cold: "The nobles are not easy to mess with, are the people of our army easy to mess with?" I will bury Leah in it today, I want to see who dares to stop me." ”

Adjutant Char stepped back.

Once the will of the superior is issued, then the subordinates must carry it out even if they have a thousand dissatisfactions, they are the army of the empire, and it is the duty of a soldier to absolutely obey the orders of the superiors.

Vega strode forward in his military coat.

When he reached the gate of the cemetery, he was stopped by six people.

"This is the Western Suburbs Cemetery, please come and stop. ”

The one who spoke was an old man over half a hundred years old, with a cross sword in his hand, and even in the middle of winter he was wearing thin clothes, obviously a professional, but he could not see the rank.

"I know this is the Western Suburbs Cemetery. ”

"I've heard that this is the place where Kareni first welcomes spring, when spring comes, it will be full of flowers, and swallows will return from the north and south, my sister loves spring, and I want to bury her here," said Vega, holding the urn. ”

"Spring is coming. ”

The girl who has been talking about this sentence all the time deserves to live here.

"I'm sorry. ”

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "Only noble families are qualified to be buried here, even if you are a member of the army, you can't step into the western suburbs cemetery." ”

"What if I have to go in?" said Vega, a dangerous look.

The old man looked at Vega's rank, then drew his cross sword and said, "I have been taught by my ancestors to guard the tomb for generations, and if a non-noble person trespasses, even if it costs with my life, I will defend the dignity of the nobles." ”

As the old man drew his sword, the five people behind him also raised their spears and faced Vega.

"Presumptuous. ”

A spark of anger appeared in the eyes of Adjutant Char: "Who gave you the right to point your weapons at the officers who defend the glory of the empire, if there is no army to protect the land, where is the superiority of your nobles." ”

The guards instantly raised their spears and faced the six of them.

They are Vega's guards, and it is their duty to keep their company commanders safe, and anyone who dares to point a weapon at their commander will eventually let them know that the dignity of the Imperial Military Department is not to be desecrated.

Vega ignored the other man's spears and strode forward under the arch of the guards.

Vega went further, and the other six took a step back.

Although the old man dared to draw his sword against Vega, he did not have the courage to kill Vega, because Vega was an officer of the Imperial army, and if he killed an officer without permission, even the many nobles behind him could not bear the wrath of the army.

In the Nolan Empire, the army is the largest force.

The glory of the nobility has long been like the yellow flowers of the past, and it has quickly withered within a hundred years, although the nobility still retains the right to set up escorts and purchase weapons, but it does not mean that the nobles can point weapons at will at the imperial officers.

"Please stop. ”

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the old man turned to threaten: "If you are an officer above the regimental level, I may not dare to do anything to you, but you are only a company-level officer, even if you are left here, I believe that the military must give me some face for the nobles behind me, and it is still too late for you to retreat quickly, so as not to regret it." ”

Vega stopped.

Because he saw the firm determination in the old man's eyes, it seemed that this matter had reached the point where it could not be alleviated, and it was obviously impossible to make the other party retreat with power.

So just retreat?

This is not Vega's style.

Leah loves spring.

Vega wants to do the last thing for Leah, and now he is qualified to do this last thing for Leah, because after today, he is no longer an ordinary officer.

Holder of the Order of the Order of the Wings of the Empire.

With this status alone, all the nobles of Kareni together did not dare to infringe on his interests, and the Third Army had long wanted to find an excuse to loot these nobles as military salaries, and it was directly punished as treason against the holder of the Order of the Wings of the Empire without a valid reason.

"Leah, please wait a little longer. ”

Vega carefully handed the urn to the adjutant: "Sergeant, protect it, even if it costs you your life." ”

"Yes!" the adjutant cautiously stepped aside, away from the battlefield.

Vega drew his dagger.

He said to the old man with a serious face: "According to Article 25 of Chapter VII of the Imperial Special Operations Regulations, no army or soldier shall be allowed to obstruct it during the performance of city-level top-secret missions, except for units above the military level, and violators will be punished for treason. At present, all the soldiers of the 232nd Company of the 232nd Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 7th Division of the Third Army meet the judgment of Article 25 of Chapter VII of the Regulations on Special Operations of the Imperial Army. ”

"Command!"

Vega waved his short sword: "All the soldiers of the 232nd Company continue to advance, and those who block it will be punished for treason." ”
