Chapter 07: The Past Uncovered

Wind and Snow Corps, Lindong Lake Station.

Seven or eight soldiers sat around the humble wooden house, all of them frowning.

"What should I do? The captain has been missing for five days, and he has been searched for nearly a hundred miles, and there is no one alive or dead. The monkey said, spreading his hands.

"I found out that our squadron commander, the previous squadron leader just died in battle, and the new squadron leader disappeared on the first day he arrived, what a wicked man!" Lund muttered.

A thin veteran kept smoking a cigarette pouch with his head down, the veteran couldn't tell his age, his forehead was wrinkled, and the hair on his sideburns was a little gray.

"Old Jose, can you get an idea?"

The veteran knocked his cigarette pouch on the sole of his shoe and sighed, "Well, report it truthfully." ”

The monkey hesitated for a moment, "Is it really true?

"Report it truthfully, how can this matter also be caused by me, and it has affected that young man, so you can deal with it as you want. ”

Lund suddenly smiled and said: "Old Jose may be able to get a blessing in disguise this time? Do you think, the squadron leader sent from above will die one by one, and anyone will dare to come to our squadron again? Old Jose will take advantage of the situation and turn positive." ”

"Captain Ben isn't dead yet, who's behind me?" a voice suddenly sounded outside the cabin.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

The monkey was the first to rush out, and the soldiers followed, all with eager eyes in their eyes.

Arthur's solo fight against the human-faced demon bear that day had spread throughout the squadron by the mouth of the monkey and a few soldiers who had gone with him. The army is also a place where the strong and the brave are honored, and after only one battle, young Arthur gained the respect of the soldiers below.

Arthur had already changed into a new military uniform and cloak, and he couldn't see any injuries on the outside, and was looking at Lund with a smile at this time, "What did you just say about me?"

Lund scratched his head in embarrassment, "That, captain, I'm kidding, I still have patrol duty, I'll go first......"

Lund ran away with his head in his hands amid the laughter of the crowd.

"You're Captain Jose, aren't you?" said Arthur, turning to the veterans in the crowd.

Jose blushed and gave Arthur a military salute first, "I'm sorry for the captain." ”

"I've heard that you also took risks yourself to solve the food problem for the squadron. Arthur said and led Jose into the house, "By the way, did you get the two bears back?"

"I almost forgot what the captain said, hurry up and bring the bear meat over for the captain to taste, this monster meat is a great supplement!"

When everyone sat together, Arthur briefly talked about his experience in the past few days, but only said that he was lost, and then found an abandoned hunter's cabin to recuperate for two days, as for the section with Leon, he consciously ignored it.

......

Arthur returned safely, and the dark clouds hanging over the 7th Squadron were completely dispersed, and everything was back on track for the troops.

Arthur was new to the game, and everything was unfamiliar, and the rotation arrangements such as patrols and standing guard were still in charge of Jose.

Arthur's wounds did not heal, and he remained at the station to recuperate after his return. As squadron leader, Arthur lived in a separate cabin by himself, and each of the three squads lived in a large cabin.

The nights at the station were quiet and boring, the soldiers who had the night rotation duty had gone to bed early, and the soldiers who did not have the mission got together to brag and chat.

Arthur was just about to enter a meditative state to cultivate, when Jose pushed the door and walked in, holding a package and a long sword in his hand.

"The regiment's supplies have arrived during the day, along with your uniform and saber. José put his things down and prepared to turn and leave.

Arthur has secretly observed in the past few days that Old Jose's personality is a bit similar to Arnold, usually like a stuffy gourd and rarely speaks, and the soldiers below and Lund are never in a hurry to joke with him, but they are extremely rigorous and meticulous when arranging tasks.

"Wait. Arthur stopped José, who was leaving.

Arthur opened the package in front of Jose, and inside was a standard military uniform, earthy yellow protective leather armor, and snow-white leather cloak. The squadron leader's leather armor and cloak were of the third grade, one level higher than the soldiers below. Then he took out his long sword and glanced at it, it was the standard long sword in the army, the workmanship was average, but it was barely enough to reach the fourth-level weapon.

Arthur picked up his uniform and put it aside, but pushed his leather armor, cloak, and sword toward Jose, "Take these, and divide them with the three captains of Monkey and Lund." ”

"No, how can we take the squadron leader's things, this is against military discipline. José pushed things back again.

"Weapons and equipment are the second life of a warrior, monkey, although you are the captain, there is no difference between the equipment and ordinary soldiers, you can take it, you can save your life when it is critical." ”

But no matter what Arthur said, Jose still stubbornly refused.

Arthur was angry, and he didn't shy away from Jose, he directly took out the Starfall Giant Sword from the space bracelet and slammed it on the ground, "What do you think of this sword?

When Jose saw the Starfall Greatsword, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Jose's expression changed naturally without escaping Arthur's gaze, "What, do you know?"

José hesitated, but finally nodded.

"How did you meet?"

"This sword is too eye-catching for anyone who has seen it will never forget, not to mention that it is still in the hands of the commander of the Keynesian Division. ”

Arthur could no longer force his composure and grabbed José's arm, and he finally met someone who knew about the past of Captain Keynes.

Keynes and Randall have always been a mystery to Arthur, and many of them and many of the "Blue Enchantress" mercenaries are from the military, but they are all taboo about that experience and never mention it.

At the Eagle Beak Village in the Ridge of the Rising Sun, Harry Sr. told Arthur for the first time that Cairns had served in the Blizzard Legion, and asked Arthur to keep an eye out for Cairns' experience back then, and that the assassination of Sauron Canyon that year may also be related to what he had experienced in the army.

"Captain, be lighter. ”

Arthur was so excited that his hand grabbed José's arm like a pliers, and Jose grinned in pain.

Arthur smiled embarrassedly, "Sit down and tell me about Captain Keynes's experience?"

"I just know the sword, I don't know the experience of the Keynesian Divisional Commander. ”

Arthur was stunned, "Don't you want to talk about Commander Keynes in the army?"

"That's not it, I was just a small soldier back then, and the commander of the Keynes division was a high-ranking general, I only had to look up, how could I possibly understand the experience of the division commander. ”

Arthur looked into Jose's eyes, "Captain Jose, the Starfall Sword is in my hand, and Keynes is also my most respected regimental leader, from your point of view, you can say as much as you know about the events of the year." ”

Jose sat down cross-legged directly, "Okay, if the captain wants to hear about the things back then, I'll talk about it." ”

A dusty past was slowly revealed......
