The Federation of Sukaran, a border fortress town of Ligaran, is seventeen kilometers west of an unknown narrow valley. A team of about fifty people was advancing deeper into the valley at an unusually human speed.

"Master, are we pushing too deep?"

Speaking out was one of the former captains of staff of the Southern Front, Gast Penkaski.

As Marquis's deputy, Gast asked cautiously tentatively. Although he knew the consequences of doing so, he was for the sake of his own life and the lives of the forty or fifty people in the team. He could only slow down and get close to Marquis, who was in the middle of the group.

I don't know where I got the situation, but it is said that this nameless canyon can be interspersed directly into the lifelong zone of the Federation. This made Dai Kehou, who was eager to show his own value, almost sent the 101st Brigade out. Of course, that includes himself.

The 101st Brigade led by has been on the Eastern Front for three months. He has not been able to make any achievements, and his pressure can be imagined. Originally, the aristocratic side also wanted to use this new type of military to move back to a place in the control of the army again. Therefore, under the sponsorship and benefits of their respective sponsorships to the military, they won the command of a brigade.

However, things did not go in the direction that the imperial nobility had expected. Especially the formation of 102, which made Dai Kehou, who was a generation of aristocratic forces, have a different sense of crisis. After all, it was my own misappropriation of other people's plans that led to today's achievements. However, knew in his heart that the plan for the formation of the fast reaction force that the nobles had given him was not complete. Moreover, at his level, it is not possible to make substantial changes to it.

After using his connections, an adventurer obtained this "top-secret route" that could be detoured to the back of the fortress without passing through it, plus the fortress would be resupplied with food every ten days.

"Shut up and get me back to my place. ”

The rumors of the formation of the 102nd Brigade from the Imperial Staff Headquarters have made Marquis very angry recently. The emergence of a new sequence of the same unit shows from the side that the General Staff is not optimistic about the development prospects of 101.

As the canyon continued to go deeper, Dekker also sensed that something was wrong at this time, and an ominous aura coiled in the air above the crowd's heads. However, the Haikou that he had already boasted before setting off made him unable to pull off this face, so he went back in disgrace.

How do you say when you go back? Do you say, "Because I feel that something is wrong, because I feel that it is dangerous." So, it's back?" that would only be said to be, "Deke is just a coward who can only play tricks, an incompetent person." ”

In that case, no matter what the military will say about itself. The aristocratic camp where he is located, in order to save face, will try to replace himself. At that time, his career will really be over.

Moreover, as the information that oneself bought at a high price. was also reluctant to admit in front of his subordinates that it was his own incompetence that led to such an inability to identify whether the situation was true or not.

"Yes!"

Although Gast had already thought of this result, when he heard this sentence from Tekhou's mouth, he could only probe his breath and speed back to his position.

......

On the outskirts of the imperial capital, the base of the 102nd brigade.

Perhaps the biggest change recently is that I have changed from living on campus to having my own independent barracks. At the same time, there was an adjutant who took care of my daily life.

In addition to the unwanted course learning, another thing that must be done every day is to participate in the mecha control training of the team members throughout the process. As the first batch of drivers, there was no textbook material for them to refer to. The only solution is to pass on your own experience to them little by little, and then let them feel and digest it.

As for the physical training, it was entirely in the hands of Kakawi and Tifa. Kakave's patience and carefulness, coupled with Tifa's stubbornness. The two of them have been working together very happily. Of course, it is inevitable that there will be occasional quarrels over issues of opinion.

Regarding the training of the players, I am not worried that anyone will disobey the discipline of the two girls. Because, among the few rules in the base other than military regulations, there is such one.

- Don't mess with the two ladies in front of the captain crying.

Kakawi and Tifa, who are comparable to the captain's "dog legs", let this rule be used to the realm of supernatural when training the team members. Even I can't help it, I'll be ashamed.

Of course, the dog's leg is only limited to intensive training. Usually, these two are very approachable. In the words of one person, "Before and after training, it's like two people." ”

A very regular knock on the door put an end to my lazy sleep by taking advantage of my position. The person who entered the office was Kakawi, who was already in the rear adjutant business (it seems that it was right to let her go to the crash course for non-commissioned officers). Just by looking at her expression, I knew something was in trouble. Immediately, switch the brain that is in release mode to the work-first mode.

"Captain, there's a letter from the Imperial General Staff Headquarters. ”

"Hard! Do you need an immediate reply?"

If it's really troublesome, I hope the other party will give me enough time to deal with it.

"Yes!, the messenger is waiting outside. ”

"Huh? ”

Realizing that things seemed unexpectedly serious, he glanced at Kakave. Unwrap the blood-red wax seal on the military letter and read it quickly.

The source of the letter is the General Staff. It roughly means that "the establishment of 102 troops has been completed, and the military deployment will be carried out immediately to the Mulan area in the east". And the priority of the command is set to the highest priority.

It seems that something big is happening on the Eastern Front.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

"Second Lieutenant, come over to Second Lieutenant Tifa. By the way, there is also a notification to the team members who have recently been on vacation to return to the base immediately. ”

"Yes!"

Although he was puzzled, Kakawi took a look at the captain's very serious face and hurriedly ran out.

It seems that the General Staff Headquarters also anticipated that I would have doubts about the highest priority orders, so they sent a senior staff officer from the General Staff Headquarters to come as a messenger to meet me, the little captain.

"Captain Angelina, it's been a long time. ”

"Well, Lieutenant General Raven. How are you. ”

Come to think of it, it's been a while, and the last time we met, it was on Mosani's training and testing ground.

Although Lieutenant General Raven is between a soldier and a nobleman, he has always been a friendly character. But in fact, he was a good soldier who repeatedly prevented the sending of small children to battle.

At least, I still have a bit of a crush on him.

"Yes, congratulations on being promoted to Major. I came as a messenger. While confirming something to you, solve some doubts in your mind. ”

Forget it. You know, when I was transferred back to the imperial capital from the Southern Front, I was already a major. Therefore, this so-called promotion is a bit ironic. However, because the other party is Lieutenant General Raven, I can only accept it gladly. However, it is impossible for a lieutenant general to personally send a letter of appointment for promotion, as a matter of common sense.

"Sergeant, you go get busy first!"

In addition to Kakawi, he is a service officer personally assigned by the Guards Department. Actually, they were sent to spy on me.

"Yes! The subordinate was rude. ”
