(Sorry, I didn't have time to inform -0-)

More than ten years ago, Duncan was a squad leader in the Second Legion of the Kingdom, in fact, with his strength at that time, he was fully qualified and experienced as a squadron leader, but because Duncan's lazy personality and straightforward speech, he offended many people, including his boss, a squadron leader named Huck, who was pressed into the position of squad leader for several years.

Later, during a military operation deep into the Pale Mountains, Duncan refused to leave a dozen of his squad in the depths of the unprotected mountains to pursue the enemy, and had a heated argument with Huck who gave the order, and the superior, who was said to be enraged by Duncan's mocking attitude and words, instructed five or six officers of the same rank to try to take him down and deal with him martial.

However, Duncan's strength was far beyond what others imagined, and the result was, of course, that the officers were beaten to pieces, and in the end, the enraged Huck personally went into battle, and Duncan was also angry, and he didn't control it for a while and beat the other party to serious injuries and his life was in danger.

After returning home, Duncan was court-martial and faced more than a dozen charges, the most serious of which was of course the attempted murder of a superior officer and the failure of the operation by ignoring orders.

This crime was enough to save Duncan's life, but the soldiers in his squad quit, because although Duncan was disrespectful to his superiors, he was quite good to these people under him, took good care of them on weekdays, and used his own salary to subsidize the soldiers in financial difficulties many times, for these people, Duncan was not only their superior, but more often like a brother or even a father.

But they were faced with a group of squadron leader-level officers' testimony against Duncan, and a behemoth like a court-martial, what could dozens of ordinary soldiers do?

At this time, when Darren Redfield was promoted from the captain of the first brigade to the deputy commander of the legion, the desperate soldiers asked for help with the idea of giving it a try, and one of them turned to Darren's head.

To be honest, Darren had never seen Duncan at all, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the entire Second Legion, hundreds of squad leaders and dozens of squadron leaders alone, how could he have seen every single one?

However, Darren had heard that there was a team leader with good strength below, who was said to have a somewhat unsociable personality and often made trouble, and if it was someone else, he might not interfere in this matter at all. Count Darren was not, since a soldier came to the door, he actually ran down to investigate the whole thing himself.

In the face of a commander-level bigwig, especially the lower-level officers, they know Darren's style extremely well, and they know that since he has intervened, they will definitely not stop until the matter is investigated. What's more, Darren has been in the Second Army for many years, and there are many supporters among the lower-level officers, so he quickly found out the cause and effect of this incident.

In the end, Darren believed that Duncan was indeed responsible for this incident, but that the crime did not lead to death, so he immediately submitted all the evidence to the military court, in which the court accepted Darren's evidence and advice, and did not sentence Duncan to death, but ordered him to pay a sum of damages, and at the same time he would be expelled from the army, never re-enter the army, and never hold any position in the kingdom's departments, and, in addition to this, Duncan would have to serve five years of hard labor in the mines in the northern part of the kingdom.

Darren's integrity and fairness are undoubtedly shown in this incident, and he did his best to save an unrelated junior officer from his mortal situation, but many people who know the inside know that Darren actually offended people this time.

Although Huck is a squadron leader, he is also a confidant of the captain of the second brigade of the legion, Gross, although Huck was rescued from a serious injury near death, but he also carried a punishment, and it took a long time for his body to recover, so he was no longer suitable for the position of squadron leader, so he was reassigned to an idle position.

Gruss has a lot of resentment towards Darren, thinking that the other party is completely nosy, if Darren was still the first captain, he would have confronted him a long time ago, but now that the other party has been promoted to deputy commander, Grus can only endure this breath.

Darren didn't care about Grus's grievances, it was just a very ordinary thing to do.

Before Duncan was escorted to the Northern Mines, Darren met with him, and Duncan had already learned from the others about what Darren had done for him, and when he saw them, he said a word to the deputy commander.

"Lord Darren, I will not forget this kindness, and I will come back to repay you one day. ”

And Darren was expressionless and said: "You are wrong, everything I have done is done impartially, not just to you, so I don't need you to repay it at all." ”

"However, if you really have this heart, then honestly serve me in the mine, your ability is completely suitable to play a role in the army, but your character makes me a little dissatisfied, I hope this five-year hard labor can make you change and become more mature!

It was this sentence that made Duncan stay in the north for nearly ten years, except for five years of hard labor, the rest of the time wandered around, and he just refused to go back. Because he has been disappointed in the army, he is afraid that he will be forced to enlist when he sees the deputy commander again, Duncan doesn't care if it is someone else, but for Darren he has always been full of gratitude, and there is a little bit of fear, if the other party insists, he is really not sure if he has the courage to object.

Not long ago, the Earl of Darren was assassinated and killed, and the news that the family had lost the hands of the mysterious assassin reached the northern land of the Sver Kingdom, Duncan set off to the south as soon as he heard the news, and before Leon and his party returned, he stayed near Campbell and the lord's manor for nearly half a month without finding anything, and finally went to the royal capital in desperation.

In the royal capital of Chester, he also found some former old people, and found that Darren really lifted the two bans for him, Duncan's mood was very complicated, he tried many times, and was finally appreciated by a subordinate of the foreign secretary, he wanted to figure out that Guò this person was investigating the results of the investigation of the military and intelligence services into the assassination of Earl Darren, but unexpectedly found that there was an opportunity to go to Campbell to submit a canonization document for Leon, and after Duncan dredged up and down the relationship, he returned to Campbell to meet Leon again.

This is the cause and effect that Leon wants to know, of course, Duncan only picks out some of them for a brief narrative, but it can already relieve Leon of doubts.

Finally, Duncan's tone became serious, and he said to Leon: "I once said that I would repay the Earl, but unfortunately I didn't have the courage to come back all these years, and now that the old Earl has unfortunately been killed, then I have fulfilled my promise by staying with you." ”

"In addition, I have also learned a piece of news in the royal capital," Duncan said again, "the second captain of the Second Legion, Gruss, who has a grudge with the Earl because of my affairs, is now one of the deputy commanders of the border guard. ”

This sentence made Li Ang finally understand the reason why the border guard was so targeting him, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said: "So I understand......"

Leon then stood up and walked over to Duncan and held out his hand to him.

"You're welcome, Duncan," a sincere smile appeared on the young lord's face, "let's find the killer together and make them pay for it!"

Duncan looked at the other party's outstretched hand, hesitated, and asked with some uncertainty, "So...... You can still provide me with such food...... And the pay, right?"

“...... Of course!" Leon couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, in the second half of my life, I'll point to Earl Leon," Duncan stood up slowly, "You are responsible for finding those people, and I am responsible for the rest of the matter, and the deal!"

The two hands were clasped together.
