On March 12, 219 in the Roland calendar, in order to compete for the Rigila Mountains, humans fought a decisive battle with the orcs at the crossroads of the Wind Mountain in the western battlefield. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The battle, which lasted all day, ended in a complete human victory, with more than 9,000 casualties and more than 90% of the enemy's annihilation, and the Reggila Mountains, which had been lost for nearly five months, returned to the Saint Laurent Empire.

Since the beginning of the war, the human empire that was caught off guard has suffered one setback after another, whether it is for the sluggish morale at the front line or for the panicked hearts at home, this timely victory is really too timely.

Emperor Edward VI was overjoyed, and on the day he arrived in the imperial capital, he ordered the commander who led the battle, Count Reis, to be crowned as a marquis, and the fiefdom was added to 500 li, and he was fully responsible for the command of the northwest battlefield.

At the same time, the war heroes who shone in this battle have been listed, and the military department has launched a propaganda.

Under the promotion of the government, unfamiliar names appeared in the ears of the people, and after the artistic processing of the bards, these war heroes and the legends they created became more and more familiar...

Bradit City.

On the third day after the Battle of the Windy Mountain Crossing, Carlos held a celebration banquet to reward the officers and men of the three armies.

It was only because of a solemn celebration that had been held not long ago, and because the real protagonists who had established the victory in the battle could not be present - the hoplite regiment was reduced by 60 percent, and the top commanders were killed by 90 percent.

Out of concern for the mood of the hoplite regiment, Carlos deliberately lowered the size of the celebration banquet, canceling even the bonfire dinner and replacing it with a memorial service focusing on the hero's dead.

In fact, according to Carlos's original intention, if it were not for the hype that the empire was deliberately using this great victory to boost morale, he might have even been prepared to postpone the celebration banquet, or even omit it altogether.

After all, it was a real victory at sacrifice.

On the evening of the memorial service, Carlos held a dinner in the Hall of the Stars and Jewels on the east side of the barracks, inviting officers above the colonel level, as well as the more outstanding soldiers of the major legions.

Kane, who is a major, naturally also received an invitation, and in addition to him, Jason, Doro, Chris and several other squad leaders in the Ginnammy Army also appeared on the invitation list.

The night is thick and the stars are shining.

Standing in front of the mirror in front of the gate, Kane straightened the collar of his inset white shirt, which was always upturned on one side - though only a few millimeters.

Today he wears a dark blue military uniform, with golden tassel shoulder flowers on his epaulettes, and a belt around his waist carved with the national flower of the Saint Laurent Empire, the national flower of the Saint Laurent Empire, carved in the center.

This is a military uniform specially issued by the military department for officers at or above the school level to attend banquets, the overall combination is solemn and gorgeous, and it also highlights the prestige of soldiers.

Such an outfit is indeed particularly eye-catching on a young face, and Kane can feel all kinds of eyes from passers-by along the way, surprised, envious, and in awe.

It was only at this time that Kane felt that what Jason and Troy were talking about was different.

In the past, when he was holding the rank of captain, although some soldiers saluted him and called him sir, most of the tone was out of basic politeness.

After all, the rank of lieutenant only belongs to the middle and low-level ranks in the military rank series of the military department, and it is better to call it an officer, and the actual work includes scouts, heralds, data clerks, and even some captains who fight bloody battles with the big soldiers on the front line.

And when it comes to the colonel-level military position, it belongs to the middle and high-level series of the empire, and he participates in the planning and formulation of strategies at the command headquarters, and is the commander of the army who is the only one who holds the real power on the front line!

He had made sure that there was nothing wrong with his outfit, even though he had checked it countless times, and it was indeed without the slightest flaw.

Kane then walked into the hall and went up from the red-carpeted spiral staircase on the left hand side of the hall to the Star Jewel Room, where the dinner was held.

At the end of the red carpet was a reddish-brown door, and two waiters with white gloves who were impeccable in height and appearance, dressed in military tuxedos, stood in front of the door, and when Kane walked over, they all bent down, made a gesture of please with one hand, and calmly pushed the door open with the other.

The door opened in front of him at an unhurried speed, and even the angle of opening and closing remained the same, Kane didn't know how they did it, but it probably wouldn't be easier than practicing his own sword.

Although there was still a while before the opening time of the banquet, there were already many people gathered in the hall, and there were at least hundreds of people who hurriedly swept over.

The colonel-level officers of Bradit City alone, even with the representatives of the soldiers selected by the major legions, are of course not so many.

It's just that this time in addition to the original troops of Bradit City, there are also commanders of the follow-up troops allocated by the military headquarters to the western battlefield, and the assembled soldiers are still on the way, and the commanders who can't wait to arrive at the battlefield first.

In this banquet hall, there are not a few people who are dressed in the same clothes as Kane, but a young man like him is still very conspicuous, and he attracts the attention of many people as soon as he enters the hall.

It's just that these military commanders, of course, are much calmer than ordinary soldiers, and after a little surprise, they return to normal, occasionally looking at each other, and only return the smile politely, or raise the goblet in their hands slightly.

On the contrary, Kane suddenly wondered if his tasseled shoulder flowers were messy because of the swing when he walked...

Whew...

Taking a deep breath, Kane smiled back at the officers in staring at him, and then he walked to a table nearby.

The long dining table was lined with plates of fine food, and in front of Kane was a multi-layered cream cake, the crispy cheese could smell of honey, and the soft and white cream carved flowers fell on it.

"Need help, sir?" said the polite voice of the waiter next to him.

"Hmm... Give me a glass of red wine. Kane hesitated

Although the goblet on the table was crystal clear enough, the waiter immediately removed the white silk silk on his chest and wiped it twice in front of Kane before handing Kane a third of the wine to Kane.

With his glass of wine in hand, Kane walked to a pillar not far away, and it dawned on him that it was a fool's thing to stand at the table.

With only a few officers on the side of the stone pillar, which did not make him seem alienated from the crowd and avoided the embarrassment of being alone in a large crowd, Kane was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and tilt his head slightly, admiring the beautiful night to distract himself.

The Hall of the Stars and Gems is built on the terrace of the tower, and two-thirds of the dome is built with clear glass and curved metal brackets embedded in the tower's walls.

This ingenious design allows the people in the ballroom to see the outside view at all times, especially at night, when the vast night sky becomes a beautiful scenery at the banquet.

Today was an exceptionally sunny day, and it will obviously continue into tomorrow.

The stars in the dark night are particularly bright, and the sky is full of stars, like pearls in the ocean, and it seems to be like a handful of broken gold, scattered on the jasper plate.

Kane was grateful to the designer who built the ballroom, and he was completely fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the vast night sky, and he finally let go of the tension he had been feeling in his heart.

"Kane!" But just then, a voice suddenly stopped him.
