Chapter 4

The battlefield of the night.

Not far away, the soldiers' charging steps shook the earth and spattered countless mud. Fortunately, in Joshua's eyes, they slowed down when they approached, and did not rush into the seriously injured soldiers.

"Deputy commander!"

One of the soldiers who took the lead yelled with concern, then frowned and looked at his comrades: "this injury... Are you ok?"

How could it be ok

It was a little strange at the beginning, but Joshua quickly recognized these people in front of him. These soldiers in black crow armor were all his subordinates in the black crow forward army. Now he didn't want to be polite, and sighed as before: "what are you doing? Help me, be careful of the wound."

As an imperial soldier, they undoubtedly learned some first aid methods, but it is obvious that Joshua's injury is not what they can deal with. Rather, it is a serious injury of near death level. Ordinary people can't get up at all, let alone walk.

However, before they met him, they all thought that Joshua was dead. After all, there was no other possibility for a man to rush into the orc enemy line. As a result, they never thought that he was still alive. Although he was seriously injured and dying, he seemed to be able to walk forward with a gun. He really deserves to be the deputy commander!

With the help of two soldiers, Joshua quickly returned to the army. Two priests and a necromancer came forward and carried him into the temporary medical account to treat him.

Although the name of the necromancer is evil, it is not a villain camp in the main road of mirov. Officially recognized, the orthodox necromancer accepts the corpses of volunteers and studies the body structure of human beings and all kinds of alien races. These people are proficient in human body structure and are the best internal injury doctors. They can communicate with spirit bodies and also assist the guards in handling cases part-time.

Of course, there are serious necromancers and necromancers who focus on homicide. They are obsessed with physical transformation and soul alienation. Zombies, chimeras, combined spirits, flesh and blood puppets and other familiar monsters are all the creations of powerful necromancers of past dynasties.

The priest's magic can heal all wounds, while the Necromancer's exquisite magic can recuperate the internal organs. With only 30 minutes of treatment and a not rich but crucial dinner, Joshua felt that he had regained his basic vitality, and the abdominal wounds were completely healed. The life value of the sex version [seriously endangered] became [moderately injured], The negative state is only severe fatigue.

"How did you get here?" After swallowing his last mouthful, Joshua asked, "what's the situation?"

"Our squadron is here to clean up the battlefield and prepare for the siege of the orc fortress Dreis."

The leader of this Squadron, Joshua's subordinate, a soldier named Ryan, explained to him the current form: "the orcs in the frontal battlefield have been defeated, now they can only retreat to the fortress, and our task is to guard every path and block it completely."

The Raven Legion is one of the four legions directly under the Imperial Emperor. It is divided into five parts: the forward army, the main army, the heavy riding regiment, the mage team (including priests, warlocks and other casters), and the logistics. In the game, it has a special warrior occupation "Raven Raider", "Knight occupation" Raven Conqueror "and a special rogue transferred to" Suisi sweeper ".

Joshua was so young, but he was one of the two deputy commanders of the forward army. Half because of his family background, half because of his ability. The sergeants believed in his powerful force, and the relationship was good. But now it seems that he has more respect than ever.

The reason is simple - Ryan and others have already seen the battlefield full of corpses.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and iron, the land was covered with greasy blood, there were mutilated bodies everywhere, and the rotten meat and viscera covered every part of the ground.

It's impossible to imagine the intensity of the battle, and even more impossible to imagine how strong Joshua was who did it by himself.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help saying, "because it's already sunset, we can't count the number of orcs for the time being." After thinking about it for a while, but not knowing how to say it, the soldier could not help touching his helmet and said frankly, "in the past, I had doubts about the deputy commander's age and strength. Now I think my vision is too short."

"I'm afraid even the general will pay attention to this great achievement. I'll give you the blade of glory."

The blade of glory is not a real weapon, but an ornament of glory similar to a badge. The person who can get it is undoubtedly the most valiant soldier on the battlefield. In the game, because a badge of glory is an essential element for the achievement of a platinum trophy, it is worth more than 100000 gold coins and 20000 gold coins on weekdays, And a complete set of magic armor is only 70000.

In addition, in the middle of the game, a badge of glory blade can be directly exchanged for the letter of appointment of pioneer knight in the imperial capital. After completing the task, the player can open a temporary copy in no man's wilderness or black forest, and break through it to establish the pioneer Knight collar in place and become the Lord."Maybe."

Joshua waved his hand and didn't take it seriously. He thought that in order to find the best regiment base in the disputed mainland, the glory blade was a kilogram brush. The master's copy brush was so dull that he wanted to vomit. The process was so breathtaking that he wanted to feel sick when he recalled it, It's just a glorious blade. It's not a precious letter of appointment of an autonomous Lord. It's nothing at all.

Not to mention the orcs, he swiped the copy of the northwest plain more than a hundred times, killing tens of thousands of orcs, which was very insensitive.

Feeling that his body had almost been cured, and the rest was only rest, Joshua nodded and said, "well, you've worked hard too. Continue to lead the team to carry out the task. There's no need to delay because of me."

"The commander?"

"I'll go back to see the officer alone."

The chief here is not the commander of the Legion, but the commander of the vanguard. According to the military regulations, every officer has to hold a meeting after the war. Joshua is no exception. Although he missed the meeting because he was in a coma, he can find his superior to make up for it later.

Rejecting Ryan's suggestion to send someone to escort him, Joshua changes into a brand-new dress and walks to the path leading to the central army of the ravens.

At this time, except for a scar in the corner of his eye that could not be completely healed, Joshua's other injuries were almost good. Although his eyes were tired, his actions were still crisp.

Half an hour later, because his deputy commander still had a sense of existence, So Joshua went all the way to the commander's tent.

And his boss, the black crow forward, the commander of the army, the Golden Knight, is drinking coffee and reading a report from a spy at his desk.

He had short blonde hair, a big figure, and strong muscles, which seemed to be enough to burst the armor. Between his eyes, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the paper.

"Poof"

Pick up the report, just see half, Oddo can't help but a mouthful of coffee spray out, and then take a cold breath: "Etoo tribe's wild wolf team was completely destroyed? "Cancellation of serial number?"

He took out a paper towel, wiped the corners of his mouth, and frowned: "Etoo is one of the biggest tribes of orcs, and the wolves are their elite troops. These bastards are more than 100 orcs of silver rank, with average strength in the middle. They are not a group of marbles. How on earth were they killed?"

"Was the spy attacked by the orcs, and his brain was beaten to pulp? It's not right. Give them 10000 courage, and these people dare not scribble under such circumstances. I should believe in their professionalism... "

Looking back, Oddo is ready to see the follow-up.

After a while, a voice full of confidence sounded outside the military tent.

"Report! Deputy commander of the vanguard, Joshua, please

"... come in."

When Joshua opened the tent, he found that his boss was looking at him with a monster's eyes.

"Admit it, are you possessed by the abyss devil?"

Joshua: "what

"You can destroy the Etoo wolves all by yourself. I really can't see it!"

His hands crossed his chest, and the Golden Knight looked up and down at Joshua, as if it were the sign of the aristocratic court.

"All right, Mr. Munster, but before that..."

After being reminded by Oddo, Joshua, who was well prepared, didn't feel nervous. He put his hand on the armrest and said, "can I have a cup of tea first?"

"Of course."

The censor's tone was the same as that of stick reading, but he was surprisingly easy to say: "black tea?"

"Ice, please."

"Nothing."

After the guard at the door brought tea, he added, "it's twelve minutes."

Joshua took a sip and said with a smile, "no problem."

Weird talk and laugh.

But Joshua was thinking about it.

(I didn't expect that the violation of military regulations would be known so soon. It's only less than two days. The efficiency of the noble court is really low.)

Joshua himself was also very clear that it was taboo to disobey the military orders, attack without authorization, and disturb his own array in wartime. When he was crossing the fusion, because he was a common man, he would have marched into prison and waited for the trial of the military court. Even the heirs of the nobility, there would be a special nobility court to investigate.

That's why the censor named Munster is here.The aristocratic court is not a kind organization, it is a symbol of imperial power. Their fields include arbitration of aristocratic succession, trial of criminal aristocrats and identification of the legitimacy of wars between territories. Not only that, they are also linked with the intelligence organization "shadow", which is directly under the emperor of the Empire. They are responsible for monitoring the movements of all aristocrats and managing all aristocratic related affairs.

In theory, even if the second son killed his elder brother in order to fight for the title, killed his father and succeeded him to the title, he still needs to make a report to prove his legitimacy - although the aristocratic court never cares about such small things.

But Joshua didn't look afraid.

"Yes, I know my accusation - violating the military order, disobeying the command, leaving the army without authorization, violating the military law. After Munster finished, his expressionless face actually showed a smile. He looked at Joshua and said:" the above is the whole content of the trial against the deputy commander of the black crow forward army for violating the military law. "

He also came a little closer and said in a soft voice: "it was originally decided that you would be suspended for three months, and then the rank of general would be promoted by one level. However, I heard that something happened in your family, and the war against the orcs would last at least until the spring of next year, so I simply asked you to suspend your duty and send back. What do you think?"

What else? It's amazing! Joshua nodded with a smile, but in fact he was already laughing.

Indeed, it was an obvious derogatory award. What he said was to suspend his post and send him back to his hometown. And suspension doesn't mean he can't come back. It means he's still a member of the military system and hasn't left. It's a reward for him who wanted to retire.

"Well, next, according to the tradition of the ravens, I will give the warriors my blessing."

At this time, montest's eyes and tone swept away the coldness before, and became serious and dignified: "people die of cowardice."

I don't know why, Joshua suddenly serious up, inexplicable sense of blood filled the heart of the soldier, he stood up, word by word, made a clear reply

"Born of faith."

"The glory of the dead is with you, brave man."

Salute each other, and this simple war trial is over.

"Well, this time... Wait." All of a sudden, Munster frowned, something was shaking around his waist: "a magic urgent message?"

He made an apologetic expression to Joshua. The censor picked out a silver, tuning fork shaped metal stick from the pendant on his waist, which was densely engraved with runes. His right hand gathered magic and activated it: "the third priority urgent message, what's the matter?"

"Do I need to avoid it?"

Joshua gave a hint that he didn't want to hear anything he shouldn't.

"It's OK. This message has only two levels of confidentiality. You can know for sure."

As the rune is activated, the tuning fork vibrates and a machine like sound appears:

"Beiruo de Radcliffe, Earl of winter in northern Moldavia, has been proved dead, and his brother, Danya Radcliffe, has submitted an application to succeed to the title."

Hearing the news, Munster opened his eyes wide. He felt the fierce murderous air behind him. At this moment, the chill spread and filled the army tent with the weight of Longwei. The terrible silence appeared.

Half a ring later, such as frost general intention to kill convergence, Joshua returned to normal: "just right, isn't it."

His voice was very light: "I can't wait to go back."
