"What's going on?" Kane quickened his steps and walked over

"Kane?" a sweet voice sounded, and Kane noticed that Chou Xili was actually here, and she was just blocked by Mutter because of her petite stature. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, she walked around from behind Mutt, walked over quickly, the gloom on her face dissipated, replaced by a joy, her red lips opened lightly, and she laughed crisply: "Are you here?"

"Well, good evening, Cerely. Kane nodded hurriedly, then frowned and glanced to the side, puzzled, "This is... Is something wrong?"

Muth and Troy looked at each other, neither pulling Karl again, and then spread his hands to Kane and said, "You can ask him directly." ”

Kane walked over, glanced at his bag, and wondered, "Carl... Dude?"

"Don't call me that, sir..."Carl lowered his head, his face seemed a little ashamed, hesitated, but gritted his teeth, "I have already applied for discharge... And it was approved before dinner..."

"Ahh

Karl had already served in the army for many years, and his military exploits, plus he had suffered a knife wound in the final battle of the fortress, and he was fully qualified for retirement.

"But... Why? now is the time when the Empire needs us..."Kane wondered

It's one thing to comply, but it's another thing to actually implement it.

After all, the current war is imminent, and a veteran like Carl, who has been trained for many years and has actual combat experience, is what the empire needs most, but he proposed to retire from the army at this time, even if the empire doesn't say anything, it will inevitably be criticized.

"Why? Hmph, I'm afraid of death!" Sure enough, Mutter snorted coldly and sneered

After a pause, he continued, speaking a much more ugly voice: "Carl, do you really want to be a coward? Think of the Legion Commander, think of Leel, that coward, so afraid of death, but there is no one more heroic on the battlefield than him, are you..."

"And then?" Karl, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head, and said with a sad face: "Where is Lil, where is he now? Who will remember him except that we will talk about his feat after dinner? Even if he does, so what? He is no longer here, can he hear our praise and admiration? Don't tell me about heaven, I don't believe in this!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" said Mutter angrily, "Where is your courage to die generously on the battlefield?

"Coward?" Mutter interrupted bluntly, paused, and said in an excited voice: "Courage, I have never had courage, I admit that I am a coward, I am even more timid than Lil, I was forced by the situation at the beginning I had no other choice, now that I have a choice, of course I don't want to die!"

He trembled with excitement: "I don't have your ambitions, I don't have Trojan ambitions, I'm not like Chief Kane, I have a bright future, what can I do in the army? Go to the battlefield, kill the enemy? Either die in a certain battle, or become an excellent veteran, and then, dragging my mutilated body back home, maybe I will be awarded a medal or two of heroes, and in my old age when I am down, I will sell a good price for a few bottles of good wine, and hold the wine bottle to remember these eventful years, until I step into the grave? This..."

Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and sighed: "This is not the life I want, all I want is to live..."

"With this stipend, going back to my hometown, marrying a wife, having a few more children, farming, or finding something to do, that's the life I want. ”

"My hometown is in the west of the empire, the orcs can't run that far, Lil, the captain's revenge, I have also avenged them in the fortress, I no longer owe them anything, you want me to fight, then you tell me, why am I fighting?"

.........

Carl eventually left.

No one can convince a warrior who has lost his will to fight.

In principle, Carl is also Kane's soldiers... At least it used to be...

And as a commander, having his soldiers choose to leave the army before the war is clearly a failure for Kane from this point of view.

It's just that Kane has never been formally ordained, and in fact, I'm afraid that Carl and the others don't see themselves as real commanders, and they are not their commanders...

Karl's choice is not wrong, it is just a choice made by an ordinary soldier to his heart, and no one wants to choose death if he can.

What's more, as Carl said, what is he fighting for? hatred, honor, dreams, none of which seem to have anything to do with him, so it is understandable that he made this choice.

And on the other hand, what are you fighting for?

As he walked back to his dorm, Kane couldn't help but think.

Hatred?

Although he had been hypnotizing himself to have an uncommon hatred with the orcs, he had even believed it all along, and even been able to teach that Mars a very unceremonious lesson before.

But if you think about it, is this really the case?

He had only been stationed in the Northern Army for a few months, and the patrol team he participated in was less than three days, and the comrades-in-arms inside couldn't even be named.

From the beginning, the main reason for supporting him to make the feat of treating death as home was mainly from worrying about the safety of his family and Alice, but now that they are safe, is it necessary for him to continue fighting?

Meritorious service and bestowal are the honors that a man would expect, but Kane feels that he is not so fanatical if he gambles his life for these things alone without caring about his family's feelings.

That...

What the hell are you fighting for?

Suddenly, Kane found himself a little lost.

Returning to the dormitory and washing up briefly, Kane fell headlong on the bed, clearing all the messy thoughts, dragging his tired body, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, the training continued.

Zax is like a sadist, the women are men, the men are animals, they don't do anything every day, just let them run, some people can't support it, after fainting, he orders the soldiers to carry people down to heal, and the rest of the people will continue to be tortured like hell.

And this guy is still impeccable in doing things, after yesterday's means to correct the military might, the next day he directly joined the training team, and put down his arrogance, twice as much as their training task.

This long run lasted for three days, and on the fourth day, he brought piles of firewood from nowhere, and ordered every soldier to pour all his fighting spirit into the firewood until it was torn apart.

Kane felt that there must be not enough masters in the house, so he asked them to do this kind of wood-chopping work under the banner of training.

It was evident from the sinister smiles on the faces of the soldiers who stood by waiting to remove the broken firewood.

Breaking firewood purely with Dou Qi is a technical job, but it can be done by mastering the basic Dou Qi, but the amount is too large.

One or two pieces are okay, ten, twenty or even hundreds of pieces, and the little fighting spirit in his body can't keep up with the pace of training at all, but the bronze-level Kane can't barely reach the thirtieth piece.

It's Luo Yan's female nerve that is unexpectedly powerful, wow, she actually chopped hundreds of pieces of firewood in a row without taking a breath, and it would be a waste not to transfer her to the kitchen.

After three days of training, Kane suddenly realized Zax's intentions, because he found that his fighting spirit had improved significantly during this time!

There has always been nothing special about the cultivation of Dou Qi, that is, constantly invoking Dou Qi.

The empire has always been in a peaceful environment before, although it has never given up military construction, but it is more for the swordsmen to train themselves, and the empire directly recruits talents, and rarely does targeted training.

And Kane is a commander major, most of the time is learning theoretical knowledge, and his martial arts talent is average, plus he was the same as Mars earlier, and he always thought that the commander who was the core did not need to go to the front line in person, and naturally it was impossible to work hard to cultivate.

However, this time on the battlefield, he personally experienced the importance of personal strength, even if he didn't have Zax, he decided to work hard to improve, and now he has professional guidance... Although it is a little perverted, it is also within the acceptable range.

Days passed, and a week later, Kane had his day off.

The weather began to get cooler, and I was going to sleep comfortably, but I didn't expect to wake up before dawn, and when I got up, I found that I had nothing to do, and when I came downstairs to the dormitory, Kane actually practiced the sword by himself for a while, and this practice accidentally arrived at noon.

After taking a shower and having lunch, Kane went to the post office to check the letter and send another one.

After establishing contact with his family, Kane sent letters back to his home almost every day to report his situation so that his family would not worry.

Naturally, the family is full of advice, especially the mother, who hopes that she can find a chance to leave the army.

This thought only flashed in Kane's head, and although he was still a little entangled in his heart, Kane always felt that Karl was a coward's choice.

As a commander and a swordsman, he was born to unleash brilliance on the battlefield, this is his stage, and it coincides with this great era, he should not retreat, but should be excited!

He also has to make meritorious deeds, be knighted, lead the army back home, marry Alice with a high standard, make her proud of herself, and become the happiest woman in the world.

Speaking of Alice, because of the relationship between the magician, she was also transferred to the war zone, but she majored in water therapy and magic array, but she stayed in the rear, and it may take a long time to see each other.

The fly in the ointment is that I don't know which department she went to, and she has not been able to establish contact, Kane has entrusted her family to inquire, and I believe it won't be long before there will be results.

When we meet again, we must become a real commander!

Kane was secretly motivating himself from the bottom of his heart.

Returning from the post office, Kane went to the Mut dormitory, and then to the dormitory of the Somber Hope, where they had made an appointment to get together on a day off.

The little girl was obviously suffocated by the boring military life, and when she heard that she was going out, she was overjoyed, and she returned to the dormitory to dress up carefully, and when she came out, she almost made everyone unrecognizable.

Beautiful!

At this time, Kane noticed that Xi Xili's foundation was very good, usually just because her bumpy and delicate figure was covered by the heavy mage robe, and after changing into a white dress and putting on a layer of light makeup, she felt as if she was a different person.

Like an angel who came to the world, she stood quietly at the door, the breeze skimmed over the tips of her hair, passing past the white and flawless pure face, she raised her hand to put the tips of her hair at the root of her ears, a simple action brought out a special charm, perfect combination of pure and charming two temperaments.

For a moment, Kane and the others saw that their eyes were straight.

"Giggles" looked at the sluggish expressions of the men, she raised a finger to her lips, and smiled stupidly, like a naughty child.

Then she coughed lightly twice, and said seriously: "It's rude to make a lady wait for a long time." ”

"Oh!" Kane suddenly came back to his senses, and made a noble salute meticulously, then chuckled and stretched out a hand, and Xili raised a hand shyly, Kane's lips touched the back of her hand: "It's an honor to meet you, beautiful Miss Yuxili." ”

"I'm honored to know you, Miss Sorrow, too!" Troy licked his mouth, only to be kicked away by Mutter.
