Gamic Fortress.

When he heard the news brought by the messenger, Garcia's eyes widened, and then he whistled, this Arcadio II is really relieved.

Several of the staff officers around him who knew my father had already started to laugh dryly, and people knew that this kind of news was a headache for parents. If the parents agree to the marriage, then endless wedding preparations will follow; If you don't agree, then how to get rid of the suitor decently is another matter that requires artistic skill.

"What should I do?" A silver-haired staff officer came over with a smile on his face and said, "Someone is going to beat Adeline's idea, do you want us to clean up this stinky boy?" ”

"Haha, no need".

Garcia knew that there was a daughter in the staff officer's house who was famous for her beauty, and in order to drive away those restless young men, the staff officer had developed a good habit of putting a stick next to the bed over the years, and at night when he heard the dog barking, he would get up to catch people. The young men were stupid, either hiding behind big trees or squatting in the garden. Once, the staff officer threw the boy into a waist-deep pond, and the staff officer threatened to beat him up if he dared to come ashore, but the staff officer's wife could not stand it anymore, and made the young man swear not to come to the house again to harass the young lady and let him go.

Since the prestige of the staff officers has spread far and wide, all the young people have not dared to hide in the courtyard as dashing as in the past, and they only dare to wrap the love poems they have written or copied from a distance on the stones, and then throw them at the window of the young lady. As a result, the glaziers around the staff officer's house had a thriving business, and they had to go to the staff officer's house almost every week to change the glass.

Later, the glassmaker commissioned a down-and-out writer to write a treatise to the effect that the most subtle and poetic thing to express love was to throw stones and send love letters, and this theory doubled the income of the glaziers in the city, and the families of beautiful girls were so troubled that they sometimes had to agree to marriages in order to seek peace. In the end, the matter became a beautiful talk, and the glassmaker was regarded as the leader by the insiders, but unfortunately not long after, the glassmaker's own daughter also reached the age of seventeen or eighteen, and everyone knows what happened after that.

Garcia actually didn't object to this marriage in his heart, so he categorically wouldn't let the staff officer 'handle' this matter. However, that staff officer has changed a lot of my father's impression after the previous snow mountain raid, and now the staff officer actually thinks that this marriage is not bad. If in Rhodoc, there are really not many people who dare to marry Garcia's daughter. And for Garcia, if he is not careful, this kind of marriage will be reduced to a political alliance, thus ruining a woman's happiness in her life. In the royal family, there are so many such things, and people always talk about the fact that a certain earl and his lady in the northern kingdom have hardly had sex with each other since they got married, and it has been more than thirty years.

The turmoil that has occurred during this period of time has made the members of Garcia's faction a little depressed, and a wedding at this time may be the best thing to do. For Garcia, returning to Viruga to complete his daughter's wedding is also a decent excuse. These days, General Enor has completed the handover of garrisons with Garcia in many ways, and now the soldiers wearing different numbers of overalls have begun to march in the opposite direction, handing over the defense areas to each other. Although it seems that Garcia has suffered a loss, if anyone can predict what will happen next, they will think that Garcia will be a good deal to get out of the quagmire of war at this time.

While Garcia was swapping garrisons with General Enor, a new army from Salander's home country had arrived in Sharitz, numbering just over 300 men. To outsiders, this army seemed nothing to be remarkable: they had no decent weapons, only a small hand axe per man, and their weapons were strange, cylinders that resembled scepters. People were very suspicious that this army could do something great, but the second prince's general did not show the slightest contempt when he saw this army, and in the previous half a year, the Salander navy had refit its own warships with the help of the mother country, and as a result, the Rhodoks were almost defeated in naval battles. This time, the troops that the mother country continued to send, the Salanders knew that they were all the latest troops, and the Salanders only had a vague and tall impression of the combat effectiveness of this army--- it was said that in the south of the desert, this army had killed a cavalry team with a ratio of two to one! This is a mythical record for infantry.

At this time, Garcia did not know about this army, and the entire Rhodok army did not expect this. General Enor was still secretly happy with his sudden good fortune, now that the people of Salander were weak, the opportunity for a soldier was in Salander, as long as he made war exploits in this land, he would not have to suffer from Garcia as he had done in the past.

Garcia welcomed my father in Garmic the day after receiving the marriage message, and Cesara stood solemnly watching his boss discuss the wedding with his boss's boss. Aoi cried when she saw Marion, and Edward stopped talking. Marion buried Aoi's head in his arms, and at this time Cesar knew best that Aoi's crying was not only because of the reunion after parting, but also because of the upcoming wedding.

Garcia did not respond positively to my father's request. Garcia knew my father's thoughts a long time ago, and at that time, my father would write a few fleshy letters from the university to Garcia's mansion, and Garcia liked to sneak a look after tea and dinner, so as to reminisce about his youthful years. Since my father went to military school, he has become a lot more burly and stiff, much stronger than the hairy boy a few years ago, and after being captured this time, Garcia can see the obvious maturity of his father at a glance. Garcia's only regret was that my father ended up choosing the same choice as his grandfather, choosing to escape the horrors of war after being exposed to it.

If a man can overcome his disgust and fear and stay on the battlefield, he will get ahead sooner or later, Garcia has always thought. War is the most powerful thing to train a man, but at the cost of losing his life at any time, even so, some people who are desperate to make a career will leave everything behind, and Garcia is one of them. His brother's experience and the hardships of his early years have become Garcia's source of motivation over the years, and now Garcia has vaguely seen the pinnacle of power.

Garcia gave his father several letters and asked him to go to the front.

These letters are Garcia's transfer letters arranging for his father to transfer from the Navy to the Army, and Garcia thanks Enol for taking care of his father since he entered the military academy.

The father took the letter and couldn't help but ask again, "When will I be able to get engaged to Miss Adeline?" ”

"Send the letter to your commander first," Garcia said.

Knowing that Garcia was still thinking, his father complied with his orders and left the fort with his letters. On the official road, my father stopped a grain cart, and on the cart, my father told Cesar that he would leave the army in the future.

Cesar did not speak, for he knew that his father was not fit to stay here. In Rhodok's army, the soldiers recognized his father's bravery, but they thought that the young general was too naïve, and that if he followed him, it would probably not end well. The soldiers were loyal to their duty, but they all had their own self-interest, hoping to follow a commander who would lead them to wealth and victory.

After thinking about it for a while, my father began to draft a letter of recommendation for Cesar to be the captain of the former crew of the White Dove Valley after his departure.

"Thank you, Cesar," said the father, "I have recommended you to be captain in my name, and you may be able to do what I have not done well, and the White Dove Valley is my dream, but you see, it is lying at the bottom of the sea." I know that the crew members have complaints about me these days, I don't blame them, I hope you can take them with you, they are the best crew members. And the boatswain, who was sold into slavery in Salander, which is the thing I regret the most, he was born as a soldier of Uncle Garcia, and has always followed me. If you can redeem him later, please contact me and I will be responsible for the ransom. By the way, in the future, your ship can be named after itself, for example, if you keep saying that your strict dad is a librarian, then call it 'Library Number', whatever you like."

"No", Cesar closed his eyes, "if I am really appointed captain, then my ship", Cesara paused, "still called 'White Dove Valley'".

"Thank you".

Father and Cesar soon arrived at the newly conquered Fort of Wieha, where Enor received two of his students. Ino has always attached great importance to Cesara, so Ino did not object to my father's recommendation, and this matter is not very difficult. Although there was no precedent, Cesar's qualifications and background were enough for him to become the new captain.

And in Garcia's letters, Enor also agreed to all of them, and sending my father away was something Enor could not ask for. For Enore, the gang on the White Dove Valley always seemed to come from unknown sources and smelled of intrigue, and now it's okay, their crew is scattered, and the captain is transferred to the army.

Now all they had to do was go through the paperwork process, and under the care of General Enor, the matter and its speed was done, and on the afternoon of the third day, my father got his transfer order, and Cesar got his new first mate.

This first mate was Mr. Lorenz, the first mate of the 'Philosopher', since the martyrdom of the captain of the Philosopher and the sinking of the warship. Mr. Lorenz remained ashore awaiting transfer, and his cousin, captain of a cavalry unit in the Enor army, hired Lorenz to be his clerk.

Early that morning, my father followed this small cavalry team to a nearby village to find the baggage troops in the rear. At this time, just after dawn, the cavalry suddenly spotted a Salander unit, which was small in number and looked weak, and these people did not have many decent longarms, only something that looked like a guard of honor, and for the cavalry, this kind of unit was a piece of meat to put in the mouth.

Father cheered as he watched the cavalry around him, and after kissing his saber proudly, they rushed down the hill like a mudslide, and the soldiers of the Salander team formed a strange formation under the hoarse roar of their commander: the few spearmen and halberders quickly formed in front of the line, and the soldiers behind leveled their strange weapons. Just as the Rhodok cavalry rushed to the other end of the battlefield, the Salander infantry was suddenly overwhelmed by a puff of smoke.

Father was taken aback, this smoke he had seen on the sea of Salander, and soon after, as his father had expected, a strong, piercing roar came. The formation of the Rhodok cavalry was instantly chaotic, and the cavalry and their horses, who had never seen such a scene, were at a loss. There was a constant roar, and half an hour later, when the crossbow troops of the Rhodok arrived, the Rhodok cavalry had already suffered a big loss, and when the Salanders slowly retreated, the wounded cavalry began to return to their positions, and my father knew that this cavalry was finished.

Mr. Lorenz lost his job again, and when he heard of the change in the White Dove Valley, Lorenz offered to join the White Dove Valley. Cesar readily agreed.

Cesar sent his father all the way to the mountain pass, where he watched his father walk back to Gamic with a team of mules. Neither Cesar nor his father knew that the next time they saw each other, the continent would be turned upside down.

Back in Gamic, Garcia listened to his father's report and let him rest.

Later in the day, Garcia had a long conversation with my father, during which Garcia said that he was not against marriage, but that my father had to convince someone to agree.

"Miss Adeline?"

"No, you and I know what little Adeline means. It's Adeline's uncle who you're trying to convince, my brother."

At this time, Garcia's brother no longer had to do the hard work at the city gates, he cultivated a small plot of land in the mountains on the edge of the small town of Phaedra, silently planted fresh grain, and occasionally asked someone to bring some seasonal fruits to Adeline to Garcia's mansion.

The old man was completely blind, and Garcia had sent him an old servant to help, but he drove him back. Every day the old man would go to the town to remind the people of the viciousness of the Svadians and not to forget the hatred. In the old man's house, there was a small box, which was said to contain quite a few Swadia things.

"You, as a Swadia, try to convince him."
