Chapter 26 Promotion and salary increase and transfer to the headquarters
The rebels have been completely wiped out!
The defenders of Saimen Pass soon got the news.
Everyone was surprised, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a very small number felt some regret, war, is a shortcut for ambitious people to climb upward.
Ke Mingde was clearly a lucky one.
He killed ten men in the battle outside York, captured countless on the way to Saimen Pass, and used a precious magic scroll to force back his pursuers, freeing the remnants of the cavalry battalion. He has outstanding merits, has the strength of a great knight, and is covered by the head of Buck, and he has been rewarded with great light for meritorious deeds, and has won the sixth class merit.
The military merits of the Plantagenet Kingdom are divided into twelve grades, and the sixth-class merits are a step, and the sixth-rank merits below can be obtained by beheading and seniority, and it is rare to have more than six grades.
Ke Mingde clearly remembered that Wilson, his instructor in the recruit camp and a veteran of the cavalry battalion, had only won the second-class merit, but unfortunately he died on the march, and the two had a good friendship and could be regarded as friends.
"Haha! Congratulations to the head of the regiment! I guess I can transfer to the royal capital!"
A round table, pushing cups and changing lamps, full of laughter, guests and hosts are happy.
Seven or eight men sat around the round table, with Buck at the top, Panama and Kominde on either side of him, and the rest the battalion commanders in the Vinason army.
What everyone drinks is a kind of wine called Lorolok Green Jade, produced in Lorolok Province, transparent and green in color, brewed from the rhizome of a tuber plant, the degree is not high, the taste is sweet, and it is very popular with the people of the Plantagenet Kingdom.
"Forgive me for my presumptuousness, I don't know who Your Excellency is, where is your family, what position do you hold?" everyone asked, seeing the faces of the whole life sitting beside the head of the regiment.
"This is the Great Knight of Newton. Buck introduced to the crowd: "He has achieved a sixth-class military merit, and he once used a family heirloom magic scroll to force back five hundred rebels and rescue the cavalry battalion. β
Buck's words point out that Ke Mingde is a knight, and imply that he is from an extraordinary background and has a family heirloom magic scroll.
Everyone already knew what happened to the cavalry camp on the road, but it was the first time they saw Ke Mingde himself, and when they saw Buck taking such a fancy to him, they naturally knew how to behave.
Panama's face was a little not good-looking, he led the cavalry battalion, but as a result, he suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, he killed a lot of enemies, and the merits were offset by the demerits, and he was not rewarded.
"I'm about to leave the Venason Territory, this time I have made military merits, and I have the support of my family, and I will soon be transferred to the royal capital, and there are two places to accompany me, Panama and Newton, I don't know if the two of you are willing to come with me?"
Captain Buck was in high spirits and sent an invitation to his friend Panama and the Grand Knight KomΓΌnd.
Panama is his best friend, naturally to take care of, Ke Mingde has become a great knight at a young age, and there is no deep background support, it can be seen that his talent is outstanding, innocent background, after these days of contact, I found that he knows how to advance and retreat, and Panama has a deep relationship, which is very worthy of wooing.
In fact, Ke Mingde is not young, he is already thirty years old, but his quality of life on Earth is far better than that of the other world, resulting in a much younger face than people in the other world.
"Of course I will!" Panama immediately became happy, and it was worth it to be transferred to the royal capital, even if it was to be demoted to the next level.
"Very happy!" Ke Mingde also said, he hopes to learn about magic knowledge and obtain extraordinary items, and the royal capital is full of nobles, so he must go.
After three rounds of drinking, Kommin asks Buck about how the rebels surrendered.
"Incredible! Not incredible!" Buck looked in awe: "The day before yesterday, I suddenly received a message from above, asking all officers above the regimental level to assemble in the city tower, and after arriving, we met three magicians. β
"A white-robed mage with two black-robed mage disciples. β
"It is said that they were invited by His Majesty the King to put down the rebellion!"
"At first, I thought it was ridiculous, tens of thousands of rebels, relying on three people, one of them is still an old lady......
"You don't believe it, the white-robed mage just walked into the rebel barracks, no one resisted, no one fled, and in an instant, the rebels were all controlled by her, throwing away their weapons and kneeling on the ground......"
β...... You don't know how I felt at the time, it was like being put in a crockpot, airtight and oppressive, and I didn't dare to gasp for air until she was gone......"
β...... I guessed a little bit about the magic she used, it was probably mind control, and I also had means of defending against mind control, but I don't think it would be ...... against her at all."
β...... The great nobles who have been passed down for thousands of years have a magic inheritance, but I have never seen those magicians who were born in the nobility, and it is said that those who can practice magic have gone to the Magic City......"
"The City of Magic, it is said that only magicians know about it, we don't know anything about it. β
"The white robe and the black robe are the grades of the mage, I don't know the specific division, I guess the white robe mage should be more powerful than the black robe mage......"
Buck answered Kemingde's questions in detail, but unfortunately there were many things that he didn't know himself.
In the following days, the troops from all over the country returned to support Semen Pass, and the garrison led by Wienerson also returned to York.
The military salary and rewards were distributed, and Ke Mingde received a sixth-class meritorious service, a one-time reward of 1,000 silver coins, and the monthly military salary also increased from ten silver coins to thirty.
He spent money to buy the devil's wolf skin, and asked the leather maker to make a set of leather armor, including inner armor, helmet, cuirass, arm guards, skirt armor, and leather boots.
The Demon Wolf Leather Armor is much better than the original Cowhide Armor, although it is thinner, but its defense is more than twice as strong.
Ko Mingde bought the wolf skin for a hundred silver coins, and he himself made a great effort in hunting the demon wolf, which saved him a lot of money, and the magic core was sold by the Panamanian battalion commander for more than a thousand silver coins, and everyone discussed it and gave the money to the families of the fallen soldiers.
Naturally, the demon wolf skin and the magic core were scanned by Ke Mingde, but he did not use the printer to print leather armor for himself, and the problems that can be solved with money will never use energy points.
Before leaving the Saimen Pass, he hoped to find the white-robed mage and scan magic items or magic books from her, but unfortunately he couldn't find them after searching all over the Saimen Pass, so he had to give up, which made Ke Mingde a little frustrated.
After more than half a month of handover, Captain Buck and Panama finished handling things and set off for the royal capital.
From York City to the royal capital, Saimen Pass is the only way, unlike the last time to rush to the aid of Saimen Pass, the road was full of twists and turns, it took a total of five days, this time they took a boat through the Silan River, it only took half a day to arrive at Saimen Pass.
Buck and Panama had lived in Yorktown for many years, and naturally brought a lot of things with them when they went to the capital, so they unloaded the goods on the ship and rented five horse-drawn wagons to load them.
Ko Mingde didn't have many things, he packed a wooden box and a backpack, which he had brought from Earth, and Buck liked the style and materials of this backpack very much, and said that he would also ask the tailor to make one.
Ke Mingde has only been in this world for more than five months, and the only people he knows are friends in the army, except for the Abel family in Sweetwater, and before leaving, he gave the remaining five plastic bottles to Pluto, and he coveted them for a long time.
They were accompanied by an acquaintance, James Adams Defoe, who had bandaged Cormund's wound while on the cliff. He was supposed to be Buck's bodyguard, and at this time he was on the road with several other guards.
In addition, there was a woman and two children in the procession, the wife and children of Captain Barker, who was also married in Panama, and whose wife would have to wait until he had settled in the royal capital.
After two days of traveling, he finally arrived at the royal capital.
"I don't know what treasures the nobles of the royal capital have!"
"Do they have a magical heritage?"
Ke Mingde thought so.
