Chapter 68: Quarterly Military Exercise (9)

Gawain's full name is Simon Gawain, the surname Simon is famous in the entire imperial capital, and only the Gawain family is called Simon in the upper class of the Yarrow Empire, but it is this family, but there are 6 chief administrative officers who assist the emperor in handling the main government affairs of the empire. Gawain's grandfather, as well as his grandfather's grandfather, were once powerful figures in the empire, but in Gawain's father's generation, all this has changed. Although the Simon family is extremely intelligent, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and no matter how many children each generation of heads of the family has, only one of these children will be a boy.

Gawain's grandfather didn't have many children, he only had Gawain's father's son, according to an unwritten rule of the family, Gawain's grandfather also tried his best to train his son in the direction of the chief administrative officer of the empire, but unfortunately, he failed. The reason for the failure is not because Gawain's father is not good enough, but because his father is a lover. Gawain's parents were free to love and then get married, legend has it that Gawain's father fell madly in love with his mother at the first sight of his mother, and after the two got married, this infatuation not only did not decrease, but became more intense.

But God is not beautiful, when Gawain was less than three years old, his mother got a strange disease, and soon after, this incident was fatal to Gawain's father, since then, his father has been either drinking or gambling every day, his health is getting worse and worse, and when Gawain was 12 years old, he died of excessive alcohol and never woke up.

The death of Gawain's mother and father hit his grandfather very hard, the old man's health was not very good, and his father's body was worse day by day after his father's death, although his father left a little Gawain, but the old man no longer had the energy to personally cultivate his little grandson. When Gawain was 14 years old, his grandfather also passed away, and since then, there has been no place for the Simon family in the court. Unlike those hereditary aristocratic families, the noble status of the Simon family is completely obtained by the status of each generation in the court, so it is conceivable that after the death of the old Simon, there is no successor in the family who can take his place, how long can the noble status of the Simon family be maintained?

The Simon family is in decline, and the man who leads this declining family is none other than Simon Gawain. Unlike the choice of his ancestors, Gawain did not choose the path of politics, since he entered the army at the age of 12, 5 years have passed unconsciously, if Gawain wanted to, he could leave after serving in the army for two years, but Gawain has been staying in the army, relying on the past glory of the family and his own efforts, he has been promoted to the position of battalion commander step by step, but he also knows that with the current status of the Simon family, it is not so easy to rise further.

What Emerson said just now, if there is a different person, he will definitely be eager to choose to accept it. After all, as Charles, the future is definitely limitless, if you can make friends with such a person in advance now, it must be very beneficial to yourself and the future development of the family, but Gawain refused without thinking about it, not because Gawain is pretending to be high, but because he disdains to use this way to get what he wants.

"Let's go!" Gawain turned and said to the officers who followed him, and walked straight towards the low slope where the large group was

On the side of the 13th battalion, after sounding the signal tubes of the 1st and 2nd battalions, everyone ignored the two battalions anymore.

Under the leadership of Situ Jin, everyone continued to go deep into the jungle, and after walking for a while, Situ Jin finally fell in love with a place. This place is surrounded by more than a dozen large trees with deep roots and thick leaves, although there are some other trees in the middle, but it is much more open than other places, there is a crack in the middle of the two big trees, there is a stone cave under the crack, which is divided into two by the crack, and you can clearly see the appearance of the stone cave from above.

Situ would like to ask everyone to stop here and tell everyone that the 13th Battalion will stay here for a period of time in the future. For Situ Jin's words, no one in the 13th battalion would object, everyone immediately put down their bags, those who should go to reconnaissance went to reconnoitre, and those who should find a hiding place went to find a hiding place, and it happened to be noon, and some people were arranged to find food.

By the time everything was almost busy, the food was back. The fifth team was one of the three teams that were assigned to find food, and the other two teams came back with some wild fruits and some edible wild vegetables, while the fifth team led by Murray came back with a few large fish in their hands.

"Hahaha! We're lucky!" As soon as he returned to the camp, Murray laughed and said, "There is a deep pool not far ahead, and the fish in it are all big! I estimate that there is enough for our entire 13th battalion to eat for a few days!"

Seeing the fish brought back by the fifth squad, the eyes of everyone in the 13th battalion lit up, although it was just a drill, but in this kind of place, everyone never thought that they could eat meat.

"Murray, you're not being followed, are you?" said Abbott, stepping forward from behind a large tree, glancing around.

Murray handed the fish in his hand to the person behind him and said, "Don't worry! ”

Abbott nodded, and out of caution in his character, he still turned around and instructed the leader of a scout team, "Jodi, you take a few people around to see if anyone comes with you." ”

The young man named Jody nodded, and turned around and left with a few people.

"Hey, where's our battalion commander?" Murray said suddenly.

The leader of the first team, Big Head House, suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed towards his head.

"Huh?" Murray was confused, "What do you mean?"

House whispered, "Look at it." ”

Murray looked up and saw that Situ Jin was sitting upright on the branch of a large tree near the top, his eyes closed, and the big sword that Situ Jin had been carrying was stuck in the ground below the big tree.

"What is the battalion commander doing?" Murray lowered his voice unconsciously.

House shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

Murray simply didn't ask any more, he commanded the fifth squad to make a fire, and planned to roast and eat all the fish he caught, at this time, Marven, who had not spoken, spoke: "Murray, you can't make a fire here!"

"Huh?" Murray looked at Marvin.

Marven explained: "If you light a fire now and wait for the smoke to come, it will be equivalent to telling the other battalions that we are here, and will we be able to stay here at that time?"

Murray also reacted, with a look of annoyance: "What about these fish?

Marven looked at the fish in the hands of the fifth team, felt that it was a pity to throw it away, thought for a while, and said, "Isn't there a stone cave down there? If you want to come there to make a fire, it should be difficult to see even if there is smoke floating on it." ”

"That's a good idea!" Marven's words rekindled Murray's hope, and the rest of the 13th Battalion's eyes lit up, and not having to give up the fish made everyone happy.

At this moment, a voice came from above: "You don't need to go to the stone cave, just make a fire here!"

Everyone looked up and found that their battalion commander, Situ Jin, had opened his eyes for some time.
