After all the hardships, Qi Lang and Ou Wu finally returned to Xia Qi Town, and that was already a month and a half later. In fact, if it weren't for Qi Lang's ingenuity and the exchange of Sirio's long knife for a donkey that was so thin that only fur remained, the time it would have taken them to return to the team would have doubled.

The 100 or so men of the third detachment were going crazy with excitement! They thought that these two warriors had no bones left, and that they had lost their lives in the jungle, and even their clothes and mounds had been built. But now they don't have to be bitter all day, these two dead men crawled out, although they were scarred, but they were alive, and they had turned from a pair of mortal enemies to friends, what could be more exciting? Gulf, Jira, and the others came up one by one to hug and celebrate with them, forcing the military doctor Aiden to dispatch more than a dozen nurses to reluctantly carry Qi Lang and Owu to the infirmary.

For the next week, the spacious infirmary became a reception room for Qi Lang and Owu, and there was an endless stream of soldiers and officers who came to visit. Lieutenant Maggie sent a large bouquet of carnations, and Dodim had two new robes, Gulf's arrows, and Jira's Folklore Tales...... The gifts that came over even filled more than a dozen beds.

Of all the gifts, Ou was most interested in the prosciutto that Dr. Qom had given him, and he ate them all without even consulting Qi Lang. In this regard, Qi Lang still forgave him very much, after all, Ou Wu has suffered a lot these days, he has been playing the role of a donkey driver along the way, and his legs are so thin that he can see the bones, he should supplement more nutrition.

Regarding the cooperation between the Otto Empire and Baji, Qi Lang explained it clearly to Dodim at the first time, and at the same time, he also handed over the sword of honor lost by the Mingyu Kingdom and the Heavenly Seal Sword of Gu Yi, hoping that Lieutenant Colonel William could use this as a basis to properly state the other party's evil deeds to King Henry, at this time, the empty and lengthy text should come in handy.

But regrettably, they were so long delayed on the way back that they missed the "truth" of the whole thing.

They learned the whole thing from Gurf afterwards. The 3rd detachment reached the Rab Heights by the afternoon of the next day, successfully rendezvoused with Lieutenant Mega, and returned to the town of Shach a week later. After Quiel's first detachment held out for a long time and paid the price of one hundred and fifty casualties, the warriors of the Mingyu Kingdom finally retreated on their own initiative, and then they marched north along the Selva River and finally broke away from the battlefield.

Shortly after the three teams returned to Shachi, the Dragonron Courier of the Otto Empire sent a letter of apology. In his letter, King Billy said that the cunning Badge had discovered the military operations between the two countries and had secretly manipulated them in order to provoke a dispute between the three countries. Thanks to Colonel Absion's early detection and timely adjustment of strategy, both sides were saved from incurring greater losses. At the end of the letter, Billy also succeeded in transferring the conflict to the Mingyu Kingdom, expressing his indignation at the indiscriminate attack on the eastern kingdom, and thus sent an envoy to the king of Mihuan to formally negotiate with the other party, demanding that the other party pay the Luman Empire 30 million syr compensation, otherwise the dragon army will act in the name of justice and launch a strike against the military targets in the Mingyu Kingdom.

Just as Dodim had feared beforehand, Otto's cannibalization plan looked like it was about to take place. Since the two sides of the formal conflict were the armies of the Luman Empire and the Mingyu Kingdom, although the two countries were originally friendly neighbors, they were quite ambiguous in terms of communication attitudes, and once this kind of reparation occurred, the diplomatic relations between the two countries were likely to gradually become estranged, and at that time, if Billy Whale really launched an attack on the Mingyu Kingdom, King Henry would not be able to help.

As the only two witnesses, everything Qi Lang and Ou Wu saw in the underground cave was overturned by the other party's reasonable arguments - Gu Yi had been punished, and he was sent to the remote desert island of Qiongnan. The reason for punishing Guy is far-fetched, saying that he was lured by Baji to betray his kingdom, so he was stripped of his status as crown prince and could only spend the rest of his life in a desolate and miserable place.

This is really a ridiculous excuse! What kind of benefits can Badji promise to Guyi, and will he be the leader of the Badji Republic? Even so, it will not be more noble than his present status. There was no doubt that Guy would return, and when he did, his heart would be filled with even more hatred.

Billy was a ruthless king, and in this respect he was much better than the aging Henry.

The only thing that satisfied Qi Lang now was that he had snatched back the Sword of Honor, which meant that there was still room for redemption in his relationship with the Mingyu Kingdom, and all the suffering he had suffered in the jungle had not been in vain.

However, apart from the fact that Gila would be interested in those complicated political affairs, the other soldiers of the Whirlwind Army did not care much at all. This joint military exercise is a thing of the past, although the war with the Otto Empire will start sooner or later, but it belongs to the distant future, and the young men are more willing to live in the present, especially the two warriors have just escaped death, and the hard battles that happened in that jungle are no less exciting than the myths and legends of the Holy Son's victory over the demons, which is naturally the interest of the soldiers.

So, whenever evening came, the infirmary was always packed with loyal listeners. They brought pine benches, lined them up, sat there with their coffees in their hands, and sat there with round eyes, forcing Qi Lang and Ou Wu to tell the story of the dangerous battle over and over again. Among these listeners, Qi Lang saw many new faces, some of the soldiers belonged to Felix's detachment, some of them were supposed to be residents of the town, and even the military doctor Aiden occasionally sat in the crowd, leaving the responsibility of the ward rounds completely behind.

Qi Lang himself does not like to be public, and Ou Wu is not very articulate, and he has to hide the fragments of Iglu's appearance, so the whole story is not told smoothly. So the intimate soldiers got involved, and under the adaptation of Sergeant Church, a vigorous scene of "Whirling Blade Fighting Half-Orcs" became a big drama that would be staged every night. Gulf's role is arranged as a rat-headed Baggi, and the lines are only "squeak". He was disappointed by this, but considering that there were often some beautiful nurses in the audience, he dutifully devoted himself to his acting career.

Just as the play entered its third day, a special guest appeared in the audience below, Quiel. Of course, he didn't come to admire the soldiers' acting skills, but was escorted over by Lieutenant Maidgy. As the commander of this joint military exercise, as well as the instructor of Qi Lang and Owu, Quill should indeed come over at this time to show his goodwill. As the soldiers had previously learned, Quill spent most of his money on alcohol and women, and had little savings, but he hadn't forgotten to bring a souvenir - two sets of chain armor.

But before Quill casually threw the gift on the bed, he scolded without changing his instincts: "You are two troublemakers who love to get into trouble, I have said it a long time ago......!

"Come on, Quill!" Maggie rolled her eyes, "It's so hard to get a nice word out of your mouth? You're just repeating what Lieutenant Colonel William said about you, haven't you noticed?"

Quell's bullish eyes glared again: "Don't mention that bastard guy! Look at what he did, put the whole command on Dodim, all the credit goes to him, that despicable bedbug, I never want to hear his name again!"

Maggie became more and more helpless: "Hey, watch your language, Quill. Our soldiers are here, do you want the whole world to know about it?"

"They've got brains, Maggie. Quill's tone weakened, but he still looked angry, "They should recognize what kind of bastard they are working for, lest they never know how they died." Damn, Dodim is going to be transferred, my brother is going to be transferred!"

Hearing the news, Qi Lang couldn't sit still anymore, he propped himself up from the bed and jumped in front of Mei Ji on one leg: "What's wrong with Captain Dodim, has he been punished?"

Maggie glanced at Quill again, reached out to support Qi Lang's arm, pressed him back to the bed, and said with a smile, "What do you say...... In my opinion, that is not a punishment, after all, his position has not changed, and King Henry just wants to transfer him to the castle of Asaph, maybe he will have a better development. We may have some impact here, but in the long run, that impact may be good. ”

The audience who originally came to see the play began to talk about it, and the few Bugies on the stage also returned to their original shapes, and they all showed full concern about this sudden news. In their opinion, Dodim's transfer to the royal capital is to be idle, because there, the military attache has never had the right to speak, especially since Dodim is still from the expensive Spiral Army, which has become a thorn in the side of the bureaucrats.

Still, a rational voice rang out: "I think Lieutenant Maggie has a point. Corporal Gila stepped forward. In order to play the role of Gouie, his red hair was covered with brass dust, so much so that as he shook his head to express his opinion, the golden crumbs fell to the ground.

"This move was expected. "Because our Majesty is not an old fool as rumored." He was very wise and wise, and I even suspect that the transfer of Captain Dodim was his own decision. ”
