I don't know when Surdak, the captain of the second squad of the 4th Brigade of the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment, has become Baron Sidney's most effective subordinate.

Whenever there are some important tasks issued by the regimental headquarters, Baron Sidney will first think of letting the second team carry them out, and the main reason is that every time Captain Surdak can do the task beautifully.

The secret post on the west side of the camp was destroyed by the demons, and this mistake should have been discovered after the attack on the camp, but it was precisely the negligence of those young aristocratic officers in the war room that led to the slaughter of the second group of infantry soldiers who went to change the guard by the demons.

The expeditionary force not only suffered some losses for this, but also lost face for the group of officers in the war room of the military headquarters.

Although one of the infantry squads killed in battle came from the 57th Regiment, this did not prevent Mondstadt from being killed. The Count of Goss complimented Baron Sidney.

Baron Sidney was in a good mood, and Mondstadt. Count Goss promised that after this plane war, he would help him raise the title from a third-class baron to a first-class baron, and for Baron Sidney, he successfully preserved the glory of the family, even if he gave birth to a son who did nothing in the future, he would at least wait for his grandson to inherit the title before he would be a third-class baron.

On the square table in the military tent lay steaming stews and blood-thick wine, and Baron Sidney sat in his chair with a pair of knives and forks in his hand, and with a stream of grease running down the corners of his mouth, he tore a piece of white bread from the basket and stuffed it into his mouth, and drank the last bit of wine from his glass.

Surdak sat across from him with some restraint, a silver cup in his hand, not knowing whether he should drink this last sip in time or save it for last.

Baron Sidney motioned to his servant to fill Surdak's glass with wine, then took out a piece of ice from the ice bucket and threw it into his glass, with the arrogance of nobility on his face, and said to Surdak: "This is a red wine brought from Mesvindo, the city of Highlandsa, and only by adding ice cubes can you taste a hint of sweetness in the bitterness of the black grapes there, and you can drink another glass!" ”

Baron Sidney asked the servant to add some stew to Surdak's plate, then put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said with a smile at Surdak:

"Your team has been doing well lately......"

Surdak knew this very well in his heart, otherwise Baron Sidney would not have invited him to dinner, and it was rare for an ordinary squad leader to have such an honor.

"As for what you plan to do in the future, I mean you can't be a hoplite for the rest of your life!" Baron Sidney took a glass of water from the servant, took a sip, and said.

Surdak thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing to say about retirement, and he still needed to have the signature of Baron Sidney on his retirement application, so he said:

"Sidney, I have two more months, and I want to return to Highlandsa after the end of my military service!"

There was some surprise in Baron Sidney's eyes, he didn't expect Surdak to be a four-year veteran of the military, and he happened to be about to retire at this time.

If it had been two months ago, Sidney might not have thought about this kind of thing, since the military service period had expired, there was nothing to say, so he put his own stamp on the discharge application and waited for the logistics department to arrange a return to Bena Province.

But now, Sidney found that Surdak was actually a very good squad leader, and that he was in need of such a young and capable capable man, so Baron Sidney said to Surdak:

"So...... Do you have any ideas for continuing to serve in the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment, which is lacking in a young soldier of your strength and wisdom, if you are willing to stay, you will be adjusted to the position of deputy squadron leader of the 6th Squadron for two months, and when the old York retires, I will ask Mondstadt. Count Goss has recommended you for the position of Squadron Leader of the 6th Squadron. ”

Surdak didn't think at all that more than a month after being promoted to squad leader, Baron Sidney would want to promote himself again.

In a heavy infantry regiment, there is a world of difference in the treatment and status of a squadron leader and a squad leader.

First of all, there is the issue of identity, the squad leader is just from the ordinary soldiers of the heavy infantry regiment, and some soldiers with better ability are selected, which means that the squad leader is still just an ordinary soldier, but the treatment has been improved. But the squadron leader is not something that can be promoted at will, and those who can become the squadron leader basically have the status of knights.

It is not easy to become a knight, first of all, a nobleman needs to write a letter of recommendation to the local consul, of course, this nobleman only has the right to recommend, after receiving the letter of recommendation, if the consul thinks that there is a need, he must conduct various assessments on the reserve knight, and all the assessments are passed to be considered a reserve knight.

To become a knight is a quota. Only nobles above the earl level had the right to divide the knights.

Normally, a Count only has the power to lead a squad of Knights, while a Marquis can lead a Knighthood.

In order to become a true knight, Surdak must pass the necessary examinations and learn from Mondstadt. Count Goss was given a limited number of slots, plus a fief of his own.

Mondstadt. Count Goss wants to make Surdak a knight, not only for a limited number of places, but also for a fief.

The 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment consisted of five squadrons, each of which had five squadrons, each of which was actually a knight. There were only twelve knights under Count Goss.

The twelve knights are divided into the first, second, and fourth squads, and the other knight squadrons in the rest of the squad are captains from the other two noble counts of Highlandza. A close confidant of the Count of Goss.

Baron Sidney, of course, did not have the right to promote Surdak to squadron leader.

If he wants to promote Surdak to squadron leader, he will need to be promoted from Mondstadt. Count Goss gets a knighthood in his hand.

Baron Sidney made such a promise to Surdak and at least deserved to receive Mondstadt. Goss's approval.

This sudden news completely disrupted Surdak's plan.

Surdak stood up at a loss and said earnestly to Baron Sidney:

"Sidney, can you make me think about it?"

Seeing that Surdak was not stunned by this great good deed, Baron Sidney was a little surprised, he glanced at Surdak seriously, and said:

"Of course, you can come to me at any time if you think about it!"

……

He Boqiang never expected that the second squad had done so many things recently, and Baron Sidney was greatly appreciated.

Therefore, it was involved in the second squad, there is no doubt that Surdak is the biggest beneficiary, this time no one thought that Surdak would be recommended to be the squadron leader, this kind of thing is not common in the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment.

Do the soldiers in the Heavy Infantry Regiment know that the squadron leaders in the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment are all Mondstadt. Appointed by Count Goss himself.

The soldiers of the second squad were a little surprised when they heard that Baron Sidney was actually going to promote Surdak.

Augustus, Bearded, Red Sock, and Billy gathered around asking questions, and Augustus said to Surdak:

"Squadron leader? I heard that soldiers who can become squadron leaders have the opportunity to study at the Knight Academy, so Surdak, you may be about to become a knight? ”

Although he didn't know how much credibility Baron Sidney's words had, Surdak nodded.

It seems that the knighthood has a great attraction for Surdak, at least for him, a change of identity.

The bearded Cagle said, "Although the knight is not yet a nobleman, at least Mondstadt. Count Goss will also reward you with a fief. A piece of land that belongs to you, you don't need to pay taxes to others, and all the output is yours. ”

Red Sox also said: "And I heard that the knight also has the right to inherit......"
