Chapter 70: The Centurion
Arnold walked out of the inn, and the dazzling light made him can't help but block it with his hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The gentle sunlight filtered through the gaps between his fingers, soaking his entire body, and Arnold couldn't help but revel in its dazzling light. Every inch of sunlight it released activated every inch of cell vitality in his body.
The thick clouds in the distance were also burned red, and the sky was also inlaid with the mark of splendor, which may be where the name Splendid Fortress came from.
Arnold thought, and without hesitation, walked towards a destination he already knew.

"How can the vastness of life be felt without suffering,
Fate it can't make us kneel and beg for mercy,
Even if blood is spilled all over the bosom.
.......
How can you see the sparkle of life if you don't stick to the end,
Rather than lingering, let's indulge in burning.
One day it will sprout again,
The future is always beckoning to me. ā
Humming a song from another world, Arnold swaggered around the military department, seemingly not afraid of being invited to tea as a spy.
He had been wandering here for more than half an hour, but he still couldn't see the person he wanted to see, and he couldn't help but wonder if the other party was so stingy that he broke off the relationship with himself, a poor boy, and thus repaid the debt.
Arnold shook his head, looking at the two imposing and tall guards at the entrance of the military department, and he didn't know what strange idea flashed through his mind.
Just when Arnold was wondering if he wanted to sneak in and take a look, or make a big noise at the door to get attention. A pleasant voice came from behind: "What song are you humming, why have I never heard it." ā
"I thought you had forgotten me. Arnold snorted without looking back, his tone a little disapproving.
"Oh, I don't know if you have the audacity to have anything else to fear. The man behind sneered, sneering at Arnold's words.
"Look at the eyes you just looked at the gate of the military department, are you thinking of any bad ideas, you are a person, sometimes you really have no bottom line at all. The tone of the person behind him was calm and with a hint of amusement, as if he was referring to something.
"How is it possible, I am a capable and virtuous young man with responsibility, even if I go to the military academy to take the knight exam, I can pass. Arnold turned around helplessly and looked at the noble woman in front of him lightly.
That's right, she is Lydia, the princess of Ernest Province, whom she hasn't seen for a long time.
Seeing this beautiful woman again made Arnold feel very happy, but at the same time he also noticed the man standing beside her, and his heart sank slightly, and then he realized.
Such a beautiful and elegant woman, not only smart, but also has a strong force behind her, is definitely an existence that many people want to climb, and it is relieved.
It seems that it is not easy for him to get the heart of the woman in front of him. Arnold secretly mocked that he was always at ease with his feelings.
For beautiful women, although they like it, it is only pure liking, and it has not yet escalated to the level of love.
"This is an envoy from the royal capital, Viscount Raphael, the third knight of the Royal Order. "The Royal Order, whose members are all descendants of nobles and officers, is a veritable noble legion.
The Royal Knights are divided into thirteen knight columns, each column has 500 people, which is directly subordinate to the king on the surface, but is actually controlled by thirteen great nobles, and Raphael can be the knight captain of a knight column, which is enough to show the strength of the family behind him.
This time, he took the initiative to invite Ying, leading his 500 knights and thousands of knight attendants to the fortress to help.
In addition, he is also the nominal commander of tens of thousands of noble private armies gathered from all over the kingdom, second only to Admiral Reg in the front line.
"He is Baron Arnold Jean, the non-commissioned officer who escorted me. ā
Lydia introduced the two of them lightly, leaving no trace of Arnold's last surname Alfred.
"It turned out to be a warrior who crossed the Dark Moon Mountains, fortunately. "Raphael was very personable, and he saluted gracefully, a knightly salute that Arnold thought was incomparably good. (People in other regions prefer to call the Selene Mountains the Darkmoon Mountains.) ļ¼
Arnold gave a lazy military salute, which was considered a response, and then looked at Lydia with a blank face, and suddenly felt that he was not in a hurry for some questions he wanted to ask.
Lydia looked at Arnold's expression, knowing what he was thinking, she smiled secretly in her heart, and continued to speak quietly on her face: "Arnold Jean, the hereditary baron of the kingdom, the former logistics officer of the seventh battalion of the front line. ā
Lydia took out a letter of appointment from the military department, "Outstanding completion of the kingdom's silver-level V and other tasks, promotion to the kingdom's third-class partial general, the centurion of the seventh battalion, and a medal of warrior, effective today." Supreme Commander of the Brilliant Fortress Front, Commander of the Red Red Regiment, Admiral Leg. ā
Lydia took the letter of appointment and read it lightly, her voice was not loud, but it was full of a strange momentum, which made people can't help but have some blood boiling.
Arnold was stunned when he heard the military position, and he didn't know what to think, but his heart was indeed a little hot. Although this time he was clearly here to ask for a reward, he never thought that he would become a general in this way, although he was the lowest third-class general.
The two guards standing at the entrance of the military department were also stunned at this moment, and couldn't help but glance at the ordinary Arnold, who actually stepped into the sky and entered the general class.
The generals of the kingdom have a very strict assessment, there may be many centurions, thousands, but there are few partial generals, major generals are born.
Fortunately, although it was wartime, there were no pedestrians at the entrance of the military department early in the morning, so Arnold avoided the embarrassment of being watched.
"Congratulations to General Jean, such a young general, which is rare in the kingdom. Raphael congratulated Arnold, looking very sincere.
One of the purposes for which Lydia invited him this time, and as a Witness, she was all too aware of some of the darkness of the Kingdom.
"Take it, you've won. Lydia handed him the letter of appointment and a silver-trimmed bronze medallion.
"It's wartime, everything is simple, and there is no way to hold an official award ceremony for you, so that's it. Lydia looked regretful.
Arnold took the letter of appointment from Lydia's hand, and carefully stroked the lines on the Medal of Warrior, which was the pattern of a lion's roar, the lion emblem representing Adelaide, "It's okay, it's no better, I don't want to be seen as a monkey." ā
"The military industry has been recorded in your file, and from tomorrow, you will be able to return to the military department. The 7th Battalion has now been reorganized, and there are many new recruits, and possibly your old comrades. This time, as a centurion, you can be regarded as an honorable return to your hometown. Lydia teased.
"Lydia, now that the matter is done, I still have some things to do in the military department, so let's go first. Baron Jean, I'm looking forward to seeing you in this war. Seeing that the matter was done, Raphael waved his hand at the two of them, walked into the military headquarters with a smile, and asked the two guards at the door to hurriedly salute.
"Let's go, let's find a place to sit. Lydia took Arnold's wrist and walked into a magical drink restaurant not far away.
Arnold drank a magical drink called Tricolor Sour Leaf and listened to Lydia tell her about the royal capital, including the Royal Knights and the Red Red Legion.
Lydia tried to be as detailed as she could, knowing that Arnold might not have understood the memory deficit before the age of 10 and then went to a remote territory.
"By the way, Viscount Raphael, you were also a classmate when you were a child, I deliberately didn't mention it, I didn't expect the two of you to recognize each other. Thinking of this, Lydia couldn't help but laugh, obviously feeling mischievous about such an acquaintance meeting and not knowing each other.
Arnold smiled embarrassedly, the memory before the age of 10, this body seemed to be sealed, there was no impression, only once lucky to remember the silver swordsmanship.
