Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Red Sea Flowers
Caesar didn't know how he survived that battle, but only knew that when he woke up again he was at the foot of an eight-meter-high pile of dead people, and a youth with a slightly boyish face and yellowish hair saved him. Caesar told Soren that this young man was called Jon, and was the same age as him, but joined the army a year later than him.
This was the first meeting between Caesar and Jon, at that time Jon didn't know that Caesar was still alive, he was just a straggler on the battlefield, on the orders of some other soldier whose name he didn't know, gathering the soldiers of his side who had died in battle and preparing them for cremation, and Caesar was just dragged along by him as a corpse about to be cremated.
Fortunately Caesar didn't die, he just bled out. It was then that Caesar, weak and about to die, was pulled back by Jon's half of a chafing dish. Since then, Caesar survived the bloody battle of Gordon's Highlands, which the world talked about, with Jon .
Caesar finally remembered later how he had survived that time, the last remaining dozen men were being pounded by a hundred knights, those in the front row being picked up by high lances, those in the back row having their limbs smashed by the gaunt warhorses, and Caesar, in the nick of time, violently clasping one of the soldiers on his side next to him, and rushing in the direction of the enemy's warhorses, lifting him up right above Caesar to protect himself from the horses' trampling .That scapegoat served as a buffer, and Caesar was not trampled to death the first time. But Caesar was also stepped on and cracked a few ribs, and after pulling the dead bodies around him with a strong will to live and covering them up around himself, he finally lost consciousness.
Framing a comrade in arms is a capital offense, especially in the barracks, and when found out, Caesar will be lynched and have family held in slavery for generations. So Caesar kept the matter to himself and told no one. It was after that battle that Caesar really grew up. He didn't have any shadow in his heart about it. Everyone would die in that situation anyway, so why couldn't he use someone else's life for his own?
After that battle Caesar's harvest in addition to more mature, is the collection of Jon so a little brother, Jon is a small town in Tyre province beggar, because his hometown's drought he can not survive so he choose to become a soldier, he belongs to the team was broken up by the number, even if they return to their own regiment is also the life of the cannon fodder, so he has followed Caesar since then.
After the war, Caesar found the squad led by Uncle York, and the 10-member squad was left with Uncle York, Carl, and Caesar. It is also that war, Uncle York was promoted to lieutenant, Karl for the deputy lieutenant, Caesar became a private squad and leader, Caesar see Jon look thin and smart let him as a squad scout, also in that battle, all the squad attrition serious, other squad members to add to Caesar's squad. Caesar, Tom, Jon this iron triangle at that time together.
After the story was told, we don't know whether it was because Young Master Soren was feeling emotional or Caesar was immersed in memories, but the tent fell into a short reminiscence. As for the part where Caesar escaped from the dead surrounded by the Battle Bear, Caesar only introduced that he escaped from the dead by hiding in the pile of dead people. He did not go into detail, this matter would only rot in Caesar's heart, never to be unearthed.
"Well...." Soren clapped his hands after a brief moment of silence, "Not bad, no wonder you can make a name for yourself in the camp, you do have strength and guts. The total annihilation of the Battle Bear Legion in Gordon Highlands shocked Garrel, Shiloh, and the neighboring countries, I didn't expect that you, a small person, would also be involved in this great battle."
"That battlefield I'm in is just a battle between a certain regiment under the Battle Bear Legion and our Lion Legion, Your Excellency is flattering." It wasn't the first time that Caesar had talked with the officialdom, this kind of condescension is easy for himself, showing the image of a good subordinate with strength and humility in front of Soren
.
"En, it's already very good that you can make it like this, say what exactly is it that you came to see me about this time." Soren said and narrowed his eyes as he asked. But this time, the inquiry was even more throwback and real.
Caesar immediately bent down and cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice "My lord, I hopes to follow you around in the future wars, and go into battle with you, young master, to kill the enemy." This is what Chassie analyzed last night, since the new army is for young master Soren to build up his team, Soren must be the captain commander role, at this time Caesar does not need be an official, only need to show loyalty on the line. He believe that Master Soren will not treat him poorly.
"En, I know about you, since you chose to follow me, there are benefits for you, this Red Sea Flower helps a little in drawing fighting energy, it is no longer of much use to me, when you leave, cut a branch and bring it back, put it around you can accelerate the cultivation of fighting energy, of course, you can also grind it into a juice and drink it, or you can just eat it, but it doesn't taste good. This is enough for you to use for three days." Young Master Soren was obviously also happy to have a strong and flexible subordinate to serve, he did not mince words as he pointed to a coral-like red plant on the left shelf and said.
"Thank you Master Soren." Although Soren didn't explicitly say anything, the treasures that were helpful in cultivating fighting energy were gifted, all in good time.
Caesar walked to the red sea flower, picked up a pocket knife next to the flower, along the edge of a long branch of an index finger cut off a piece, although Soren said that this thing is useless to him, but looking at the red sea flower has a lot of cutting marks, Caesar think that Soren is also often ues it, the red sea flower is not completely useless to him, Caesar did not dare to make a mistake, just take a small piece, and then respectfully retired to the side.
"Eh, I'll take your wine, I'm going to rest. "It has been a long time, Soren is also a bit tired and ready to rest for a while, so he sent off his guests. Caesar also didn't dare to disturb again, the purpose had been accomplished, and also left Soren's tent.
Caesar mood pleasant walk towards his squad's tent, tonight he is prepared to spend the night in the camp, after all, can not go out every night and not return, the impact is not good, when he became a squadron commander to dare so blatant, right. Chassie that he has said last night, do not have to wait for him, in two days Caesar will go to see her.
Ten minutes past noon, the barracks from time to time came the sound of soldiers drilling hoots and hollers, is about to start, each squad leader began to train their own squad of soldiers, in the battlefield to sharpen the gun, not fast also light. Of course, the resourceful people are most active at this time, such as Caesar.
In the dark green tent in the center of the barracks, the atmosphere was quiet. Sitting in the first place was a middle-aged brown-haired man with a mature demeanor, straight posture and a touch of dark beard. Baron Kyle was already 40 years old this year, and his perennial power and strength made him give the other people sitting in the tent a great deal of pressure. Before the Baron spoke, no one dared to make a sound.
There are 10 people in the tent, the first seat is Baron Kyle, the left side is wearing armor, large and powerful cavalry captain Will Knight, the right side is Soren, and then after that there are six lieutenant captains, including York, nine people sitting around a long table in the tent, with the first seat of Baron Kyle as the leader. Behind the baron is an old man wearing a butler's uniform, looking at his age it is estimated that he is more than 50 years old, the old butler has been serving the baron for so many years, no one here dares to underestimate him.
"Attacking Phalanx City in five days, the military ministry has given a must order to all regiments this time, they must meet in Entel City in two months, so this Phalanx City siege must be a quick battle, the Kashir side has already been contacted." The Baron gave a task for this meeting as soon as he spoke, his undoubted tone made it impossible to refute.
"It seems that the military department is also in a hurry, that's right, after all, the Storm wind Legion is almost under the city of Ellis City, our Eagle Legion hasn't even seen Entel City." The one who spoke was the 1st Squadron Squadron Leader Monte, unlike Uncle York who served as the Squadron Leader with his seniority and bravery, Monte relied on his brains and wisdom, he was the Baron's wise counselor. Only he dared to speak like this in front of the Baron.
"En, the two legions have been in conflict for a long time, and this time, letting the people from the Storm wind Legion come out on top, it would be strange if those people from the military department weren't anxious." Knight Will also agreed.
After breaching the Felmer Grand Canyon a few months ago, the Kingdom of Shiloh was like a stripped lamb, exposed to the iron horse of the Garrel army. The three major legions attacked the hinterland of Shiloh in three ways, upper middle and lower. The Storm wind Legion went up, the Lion Legion went center, and the Eagle Legion went down.
There are three provinces in the Kingdom of Shiloh, and the country as a whole is in an irregular triangle. The Peters Territory in the west has been broken after three years of bloody battles in the Gordon Highlands and the loss of the Fermor Canyon, and it has been completely lost. The only two remaining provinces did not have any decent resistance force after Shiloh's regular army was wiped out, so the kingdom's senior management decided to split into three ways after deliberation.
