Chapter Ninety-Eight: Parting (End of Volume 2, Happy April Fool's Day to everyone!)

"In this war, there were many brave soldiers, who made great contributions, but unfortunately, they all died. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info" said this, and Reg paused slightly.

"You're lucky to be able to survive your exploits. ”

"Do you know this report?" said Regg, holding up the report in his hand.

Arnold shook his head.

"It's the death list of this war, and the commander of the seventh battalion is unfortunately on the list, so from this moment on, you are the commander of the seventh battalion. ”

"It's an exceptional promotion for you. However, the official position is still centurion, and the rank of general remains unchanged, so because in wartime, there is no need to go through the kingdom's military headquarters. Reg said in a stern tone.

"Yes, thank you, Captain, for your cultivation. Arnold was slightly excited, although he didn't know what he was excited about, maybe it was the slightest desire for a promotion from Nas, who was still left by his unlucky predecessor.

"There you go. Reg waved his hand and told Arnold to go down.

"Yes. Arnold saluted solemnly again and left excitedly, but he was thinking about how to tame his men and how to train them into elite warriors.

"Time, time is still not enough. Reg looked at Arnold's departing back, his face moved, his handsome face showed a hint of vicissitudes, and sighed regretfully.

"Kid, that's the limit of what you can do right now. It's a pity that I found out too late and didn't cultivate you well, I'm sorry for your father. ”

Reg gently lowered the report in his hand, and the morning sun shone through it, revealing a kick in the report.

This is not a death report at all, but a secret order from the royal capital, a content that is even more terrible than the undead natural disaster.

The form of the kingdom is not optimistic.

※※※

Arnold walked out of the military building, thinking about going to the hotel to appease Xia Zuo to complete the system task first, or go to the military camp to see his camp first.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of knights less than a hundred men and covered in wounds resting near the military headquarters, and Arnold, the leader of the group, happened to know.

It seems to be a proud knight named Raphael, a high nobleman from the royal capital.

"It seems that after a bloody battle, are they the only ones who survive?" Arnold said secretly in his heart, but his expression was a little shocked, although he did not see the sea of skeletons all over the mountains, but he also knew how heroic it was to fight in and out of the undead of a cloud of strong people.

"Trouble let's go. ”

Arnold kept his eyes on Raphael, ignoring the movement behind him, and hurriedly stepped out of the way.

With an embarrassed face, he wanted to turn around and apologize, but when he turned around, he was stunned.

A cold breath came to his face, and his limbs were a little stiff, which was infected by the murderous aura of the other party, and what he saw was Balk, who had a relationship with him.

Is this the rhythm of wanting to see everyone he knows in the fortress? Arnold couldn't complain.

Balk passed by Arnold with a blank face, nodded to Raphael, who had noticed this place in the distance, and walked away without stopping.

"Heh, is this being ignored? Arnold smiled slightly, not paying attention.

"Arnold, you're alright. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Arnold nodded to Raphael, who was concerned about the question, thought for a moment, and paced forward to talk to him.

Raphael was a well-bred aristocrat, not one of those gentlemen who had been blinded by his father's shadow.

Talking elegantly and interestingly, he is a handsome guy who is loved by everyone.

During the conversation with Raphael, Arnold learned of the outcome of the war with the undead, and the army of the undead retreated 20 miles, and the Skeleton King Salinus never appeared, suspected of being trapped in his own plain of truth.

The Plains of Truth is not so easy to enter, and it is easy to get lost in the turbulence of the law if you rush into it in an unstable situation.

And this war Adelaide also suffered a heavy blow, less than 10,000 of the 30,000 defenders of the fortress remained, and only half of the Red Red Army Regiment was fully staffed, and the 50 magicians who accompanied the army could no longer exert their magic power for half a month.

There are also 10,000 aristocratic troops, lacking cooperation, not having the ability to save lives like the regular army, and the most deeply damaged, with less than a thousand people left, most of them are mercenaries with combat skills.

"In the end, it was my cavalry, as you have seen, thousands of cavalry rushed out of the city gates, and they were the only ones who returned. Raphael looked at the remnants of the army he led with a gloomy expression, "These are only the losses of the military department, the losses of the adventurers' association and other major associations, not counting them." ”

Arnold nodded when he heard this, and sighed the cruelty of the war in his heart, thinking that as soon as he came to another world, he had been drifting with the flow, and he had spent the terrible war in such a daze, and he couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky to be able to talk here safely after encountering several death crises.

Arnold was sighing when he suddenly heard someone calling for Raphael.

"It's the corps commander's aide-de-camp, and it looks like it's my turn. ”

Raphael patted Arnold on the shoulder, "Let's talk about this first, next time we come out for a drink together." ”

Raphael ran a few steps forward and suddenly turned back, "By the way, which camp are you in." ”

"Oh... I'm in the seventh battalion now. Arnold said a little confused, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know which seventh battalion it was, it seemed to be the unit he had led before, but at this moment he really couldn't remember.

"Understood. Raphael nodded, turned and walked into the military headquarters.

Arnold shook his head, not knowing if he really understood, or if there was just a seventh battalion here.

He suddenly realized that Raphael was a good man and could make friends.

Arnold smiled slightly, and today seemed to be all good news.

"Arnold, what are you doing here. ”

A familiar voice, Arnold looked up and saw Lydia emerge from the camp of wounded soldiers.

"I just came out of the corps commander's office. Arnold said simply.

Lydia's cold face was slightly haggard, and she nodded when she heard this, rarely without continuing to ask questions, which surprised Arnold, who was about to proudly answer the news of his promotion.

"What's wrong?" Arnold asked, slowing down and asking with concern.

"Come with me. ”

Lydia said, stepping forward.

Arnold paused slightly, then followed Lydia without hesitation.

The two of them walked slowly and rhythmically on the avenue half a shoulder apart, and the noise around them did not seem to affect the silence between the two.

"Arnold. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Aunt Constance is injured. ”

"Seriously?"

"Hmm. The priest said that she forcibly used the forbidden medicine, and her origin was injured, and she had no precious potions, so she could not recover, and her strength was less than half of what she used before. ”

Lydia poured out her emotions slowly, and Arnold listened silently, nodding occasionally or asking a simple question.

Arnold knew it wasn't Lydia's fragility and needed any help, but just someone who listened.

"Arnold. Lydia's tone was suddenly sad.

"Hmm. Arnold responded, as always.

"I'm going back. Lydia's voice was low.

"What?" said Arnold's footsteps.

"The losses on this side of the fortress are too serious, I need to go back to the royal capital and find Her Royal Highness the princess for reinforcements. Lydia paused and looked back at Arnold's delicate face.

"The Legion Commander also knows about this. ”

"Why are you going, and can't anyone else?" Although Arnold knew that this was only a temporary parting, he didn't know why, he was reluctant to let go, perhaps because he was used to having her.

"Only I can go. can be influential in the king, and I am not an important person in the military department, only I am in line. I have an old acquaintance with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and my father is also a duke of a country, so he has a lot of influence. ”

Arnold was speechless.
