The Wind and Snow Legion is stationed near East Lake.
Seven or eight soldiers were sitting around the simple wooden house, all of them frowning.
"What should I do? The captain has been missing for five days. He has been searched for nearly a hundred miles, but no one is alive or dead, and no corpses are found." Monkey said, spreading his hands.
"I found out that our squadron has a strong commander. The previous squadron commander just died in battle, and the new squadron commander disappeared on the first day he came here. It's really weird!" Land muttered.
A skinny veteran lowered his head and kept smoking a pipe. The veteran could not tell his age. There were wrinkles on his forehead and the hair on his temples was a little gray.
"Old Jose, can you come up with an idea?"
The veteran knocked his pipe on the sole of his shoe and sighed, "Oh, please report it truthfully."
Monkey hesitated for a moment, "Repaying the truth? Maybe the higher ups will be held accountable this time?"
"Report it truthfully. We were the cause of this incident, and it affected that young man. Let the higher-ups handle it how they want."
Lundy suddenly laughed and said: "Maybe old Jose can be a blessing in disguise this time? Think about it, if the squadron captains sent down from above are killed one by one, will anyone dare to come to our squadron again? Old Jose will be promoted to a full-time officer. "
"I'm not dead yet? Who's planning me behind the scenes?" A voice suddenly sounded outside the wooden house.
"Team leader!"
"Team leader!"
The monkey jumped out first, followed closely by the soldiers, all with eager eyes.
Arthur's single-handed fight against the Man-Faced Bear that day has been spread throughout the squadron through the mouths of the monkey and the few soldiers who went with him. The army is also a place that respects the strong and brave. In just one battle, young Arthur gained the respect of the soldiers below.
Arthur has already put on a new uniform and cloak, and no injuries can be seen on his appearance. At this time, he is looking at Land with a smile, "What did you say about me just now?"
Land scratched his head in embarrassment, "Um, captain, I'm kidding, I still have patrol duties, I'm leaving first..."
Land ran away holding his head amidst the roar of laughter from the crowd.
"Are you Captain, Jose?" Arthur turned to the veterans in the crowd.
José blushed and gave Arthur a military salute first, "You're causing trouble for the captain."
"I heard that you took the risk yourself to solve the food problem for the squadron." Arthur said and took Jose into the house. "By the way, have you got those two little bears back?"
"I almost forgot what the captain said. Hurry up and bring the bear meat over and let the captain have a taste. This monster meat is a great supplement!"
After everyone sat together, Arthur briefly talked about his experience in the past few days, but only said that he got lost, and later found an abandoned hunter's cabin to recover from his injuries for two days. As for the part with Leon, Consciously ignored.
As soon as Arthur returned safely, the dark clouds hanging over the 7th Squadron completely dissipated, and everything in the army was back on track.
Arthur is new here and is not familiar with everything yet. Jose is still responsible for rotation arrangements such as patrolling and guarding.
Arthur's injuries have not healed, and he has been staying at the station to recuperate since his return. As the squadron leader, Arthur lives in a separate cabin, while each of the three teams lives in a large cabin.
The night at the station is quiet and boring. Soldiers with night duty rotations have gone to bed early, while soldiers without assignments gather together to brag and chat.
As soon as Arthur was about to enter a meditative state to practice, Jose opened the door and walked in, holding a package and a long sword in his hand.
"The regiment's supplies arrived during the day, along with your military uniforms and sword." Jose put down his things and prepared to turn around and leave.
Arthur has been observing secretly in the past few days. Old Jose's personality is a bit similar to Arnold's. He is usually like a boring gourd and seldom talks. The soldiers and Land below are never in a hurry to joke with him, but they are extremely rigorous when arranging tasks. ,meticulous.
"Wait a minute." Arthur stopped Jose, who was about to leave.
Arthur opened the package in front of Jose. Inside was a set of standard military uniforms, khaki leather body armor and a snow-white leather cloak. The squadron leader's leather armor and cloak are both level three, one level higher than the soldiers below. Then he took out the 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 be a level four weapon.
Arthur picked up the military uniform and put it aside, but pushed the leather armor, cloak and sword towards Jose, "Take these and divide them with Monkey and Land, you three captains."
"No, how can we take the squadron leader's things? This is against military discipline." Jose pushed the things back again.
"Weapons and equipment are the second life of a soldier. Although you, monkeys, are captains, your equipment is no different from that of ordinary soldiers. Just take it. It can save lives in critical moments."
But no matter what Arthur said, Jose still stubbornly refused.
Arthur was so angry that he didn't shy away from Jose. He took out the great sword of meteorite from the space bracelet and smashed it heavily on the ground. "What do you think of this sword? Do you understand? I don't like it. The issued sword!"
When Jose saw the Star fall Giant Sword, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up instantly.
The change in Jose's expression naturally did not escape Arthur's gaze, "What, do you know him?"
José hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"How did you meet?"
"This sword is so eye-catching that anyone who has seen it will never forget it, especially if it is in the hands of Captain Cairns."
Arthur could no longer pretend to be calm and grabbed Jose's arm. He finally met someone who knew Captain Keynes's past.
ˆ Keynes and Randall's experiences have always been a mystery to Arthur. They and many of the mercenaries of the "Blue Enchantress" are from the military, but they are very taboo about that experience and never mention it.
In Jiang Ridge Mingus Village, Old Harry told Arthur for the first time that Keynes once served in the Snow Wind Legion, and asked Arthur to pay attention to Keynes and their experiences back then. The assassination of Solon Valley that year may also be related to his time in the army. Related to what has been experienced.
"Captain, please be gentle."
Arthur was so excited that he grabbed Jose's arm like a pair of pliers, causing Jose to grin in pain.
Arthur smiled sheepishly, "Sit down and tell me about Captain Keynes's experience?"
"I just recognize this sword and don't understand the experience of the commander of Keynes' division."
Arthur was stunned, "Isn't it true that Captain Keynes is not allowed to discuss it in the army?"
"That's not true. I was just a soldier back then, and the commander of Cairns Division was a high-ranking general. I could only look up to him, so how could I possibly understand the experience of the division commander."
Arthur looked into Jose's eyes and said, "Captain Jose, I have the Star fall Sword in my hand. Keynes is also my most respected captain. From your perspective, you can tell me as much as you know about what happened back then."
José sat down cross-legged and said, "Okay, if the captain wants to hear what happened back then, I'll tell you."
In this way, a dusty past was slowly revealed...
