Early spring, 757 year of the Holy Spirit Empire calendar.

In this season of recovery, the Jackal Mercenary Group has received another mission. Not only is this task extremely rewarding, but the person who issued the character is also extraordinary, and it is issued by his own 'master'.

The people of the Jackal Mercenary Regiment were gearing up, and under the call of the regiment leader 'Jackal', they reunited one after another, and it took a few days for all of them to arrive.

This trip to the Elven Forest Trade is of great significance.

William even temporarily left everything at hand, and brought the knight Kane, the Rhein mage, and the 130th Jackal Mercenary Regiment to personally supervise, lead, and suppress the formation.

The crowd gathered in the province of Haimanxing, preparing to take the overland route, through the border defense of the empire, to the forest of elves.

It took them three days to reach the borders of the Empire.

That night, the border defense line Chengguan, the boulder Chengguan.

The merchant team rested here for the night, and William temporarily handed over the position of leader to Kane, and went to the tall tower alone.

The supreme general stationed at the Giant Stone Pass is a middle-aged general with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His name was Birundero, and he was a high-ranking fighter who served in the Empire's most elite crusaders.

However, Birundello was injured in the border defense battle in his early years, and his body was left with hidden diseases, which caused his strength to not be fully exerted.

At that time, the Imperial Doge's Office also awarded a silver paper medal in recognition of Birundelo's outstanding contributions.

Later, due to a dark illness, Birundello was unable to stay in the Imperial Crusade and was transferred to become the head of the Great Stone Pass.

At this moment, Billelo was not at all surprised by William's arrival. He sat on the castle tower with a jug of rum in his hand, drunk alone.

William came, and Birundello did not stand up to greet him, and his attitude was a little arrogant. Even, even the previous reception of William and his party was the responsibility of Adjutant Birundero, who did not show up at all.

William wasn't impressed. He broke aside the soldiers beside him who were leading the way, walked up to the tower, and sat down opposite Birundero.

Birundello snorted disdainfully, turned his head, and continued to drink the inferior rum in his hand.

There are many varieties of rum, and some rums have a strong taste and are easy to get drunk.

William smelled the smell of inferior wine in his nose and said with a smile: "The general seems to be in a bad mood. ”

"Of course I'm in a bad mood!"

Birundello threw the rum bottle in his hand on the table, and some of the liquor poured out. He stared at William without blinking, and said viciously, "I know you, William Rest!"

"I have already received the military order from the imperial capital. Do you want us to cooperate with you with all your powers, obey any orders you have, and garrison the border?"

Birundero sneered, "Your Lester family is just a business family! Can you William go to the battlefield? Can you William kill orcs? Can you William know how to arrange troops?"

"I think I'm better than Rondello and I've been riding all my life, but after my body fell ill, I was stationed at the border, exposed to the scorching sun and cold wind, for more than ten years. ”

"Originally, His Majesty Charles IX's mediocrity and old age were enough to disappoint me. Now that Empress Charles X is on the throne, I am even more disappointed!"

Birundello poured a sip of inferior rum and said viciously: "She is a woman, why should she send a little white face who doesn't know anything to command us?"

"The siege army of the orcs is coming, do you know what to do?"

"How much do you know about the horror of orcs?"

At the end, Birundello almost roared and roared: "When our city is destroyed and the orc army enters the empire, will you still be able to laugh out loud like now?"

William frowned and did not speak.

Birundello hiccuped, no longer roared, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes: "I've been holding back for too long, and if I say it today, I'm not afraid of you going to sue." ”

"Also, you should have come a long time ago! You don't know about defense, as long as you humbly ask, we will teach you. ”

"If you delay the military plane, you will be late. First, it is to lead the merchant team to do business, which is not a proper business, and regards military aircraft as child's play!"

"You don't understand the weaknesses of the orcs, we can all tell you. ”

"You don't know how to arrange troops to defend against foreigners, we can teach you how to do it. ”

"But you've disappointed me so much. Her Majesty, this decaying empire, has disappointed me too much..."

In the end, Billondello wept silently, and the wine welled up, and he fell asleep on the table.

William's face remained unchanged as he stood up, shook his head, and prepared to leave.

At this time, Birundero's adjutant suddenly trotted up to the tower and explained profusely: "Duke William, General Birundero...... He was drunk just now, and what he said was all drinking, but he can't take it seriously!"

William looked at the loyal adjutant in front of him, who was anxious and afraid that he would write Birundero's indictment, and sighed: "I know, he is drunk. I just lament that I didn't come at the right time tonight. ”

With that, William ignored the adjutant's look of surprise and turned to leave.

At night, the silence is incomparable, and the sky is full of stars.

William's merchant corps slept soundly in the houses where the soldiers lived under the gates.

William was no exception.

The next morning, when it was dark, William got up and went out of the house to wash up.

At this time, he saw a man kneeling outside.

General Billondero.

His upper body, unarmed, and full of muscles, his upper body, all exposed to the cold fog and frost.

It was early spring, and many parts of the Holy Spirit Empire had warmed up, but the weather on the border was still unusually cold.

Rao is a stronger physique than Rondelo, but he can't withstand the invasion of frost and cold wind, and his face is blue and red, and his nose is dripping.

He looked very embarrassed, kneeling on the dirt floor, his head staggered, and he dozed off.

Not far from Birundero's side, a dozen other soldiers, as well as Birundero's adjutant, were watching.

Unlike Birundero, the soldiers were all dressed in thick cotton clothes, wrapped in armor, and wore a pair of thick gloves on their hands.

When he woke up in the morning, he saw such a scene, and William was a little surprised.

He stretched out his hand to Birundero's lieutenant and asked, "What's the matter?"

The adjutant said truthfully: "Our general has made amends to Duke William. Last night we had made a bowl of sobering soup, and General Birundelo, having come to his senses, went to the Duke's quarters, and knelt for most of the night, until now. ”

When William heard this, he immediately understood.

Presumably, last night, this General Birundero did not come at the right time. He was already asleep, and even if Kane and the others found out that he was coming, they would not wake him up and disturb his sweet dreams. (To be continued.) )
