It can be said that there are many soldiers in the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment who have complaints about this transfer, and Mario is the worst among them.
Mario is an ordinary soldier. He is thirty-five years old this year. The reason why he complains is that he is clearly three short of the heads of the Sika Kingdom before he can be promoted to military rank, but now his plan has been disrupted.
You know, he was promoted to a military rank, but from the upper class soldier to the lower ten commander, this step was very important to him, it was almost a qualitative change. If he succeeds, he may not see much in the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment, but once he retires, the treatment he will receive is completely different from that of the top soldiers - after all, he was a captain of ten at that time!
This can almost guarantee that he can live without worries about food and drink for the rest of his life.
And he is not young anymore. He finally encountered the opportunity to gain military exploits in this war. If he passes it by, who knows if he will encounter it again in the future? If he is unlucky and has no chance until he retires, then he will retire with the rank of private and have to work hard for the rest of his life.
Damn it!
The more Mario thought about it, the angrier he became.
He really hopes that the Sika Kingdom will be stronger this time and not sign a contract with the alliance without fighting a few battles like before.
He was also a little dissatisfied with his regiment leader, who was extremely serious on weekdays and trained their squad captains and captains to be like sons. They, the top soldiers, were even trained to be like grandsons. But when the critical moment comes, why can't you be tough
It is said that this transfer task was conveyed to the regiment commander from above, and then the regiment commander assigned it to the head of the regiment commander, who just responded.
Really, why did the group leader agree so easily? Why can't the regiment commander have a fight with the regiment commander
As a result, now, the military exploits they had immediately obtained were gone, and they were still looking for a tunnel entrance in this place where no bird even poops.
What a ghost! If it could be found here, his name would be written backwards!
Mario sat on a rock in the camp, and the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became. However, after a while, he adjusted his attitude and slowly calmed down.
Because... it’s time to eat.
Well, eating is always a pleasure.
The meal was distributed, and it was quite good. There was bread and broth. Mario soaked the bread in the broth and ate it. While eating, I caught a glimpse of the regiment leader walking out of the military tent in the camp and beckoning the squad leaders and captains in the regiment to assemble, as if conveying some new order.
"Gudong!"
Mario swallowed the bread in his mouth, became a little excited, and guessed: Could this be a new transfer order from above, preparing to transfer them back to the front line to kill Sika
If this is really the case, if you go faster, you may be able to catch up with the final annihilation battle against the Sika Lao, and you can also get a lot of military exploits, and then his inferior ten-captain will be found.
Thinking this, Mario happily handed the bowl to the side and said: "One more!"
When Mario was about to finish the third portion of food, he saw the captain of his team coming back from an impromptu meeting with the team leader, his face a little unhappy.
How is this going
Mario put the soaked bread in his mouth and wondered, logically, shouldn't the team leader be happy after receiving the transfer order? Could it be that the group leader gave their team the task of cleaning up the camp and asked them to pack up the camp before leaving? That is indeed a bit tiring, but acceptable...
Thinking, Mario saw the team leader walking closer.
The flesh on both sides of the captain's cheeks was bulging hard, like two raised meat bumps. He glanced at the soldiers in the squad, including Mario, who were eating rice, and announced in a deep voice: "Eat quickly, eat. Rice, we have to continue searching for the tunnel entrance."
"What!"
Mario was stunned and anxious, and swallowed half a fist-sized piece of bread in his mouth in one gulp without even chewing it.
"This is wrong, Captain!" Mario put down the bowl and shouted, "We have been searching all night and found nothing. What's the use of continuing to search?"
"Why are you in such a hurry!" The squad leader glared over, and the pimpled flesh on his face almost bounced off, and he yelled as if he wanted to eat someone, "I'm not in a hurry! You think I want to be like this, but it's said from above We are given an order, what else can we do, we can only execute it!
Don't complain. The Black Rock Cavalry Regiment and the Stromos Cavalry Regiment will be transferred later to search with us. The range is that of yesterday, plus an extension of another ten miles to the north. As mentioned above, whoever among our three regiments finds the tunnel entrance first will be credited with a great achievement by the entire regiment, and the first person to find the tunnel entrance will be directly promoted to three ranks. "
Upgrading the military rank to three levels? It's useless to upgrade to level ten, he doesn't believe there is any tunnel in this place.
Mario curled his lips and thought, very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the team leader. After all, the way the squad leader wanted to eat people was so scary. Plus, the squad leader really didn't have breakfast when he was called to a meeting. He was really afraid that if he made a sound, the squad leader would open his mouth and bite him.
Oh, it's true.
Mario felt a little frustrated and picked up the bowl on the ground again and started eating.
After eating about five portions of food, Mario felt a little full in his stomach. He was about to eat five more portions of food, but there was no chance - breakfast was over and the search operation began.
Really! He eats too slowly!
Half-starved, Mario started working with his companions with a bit of annoyance, searching and muttering in a low voice.
"Really, what do the higher-ups think? Isn't it enough to use the second-line army to search? Why did they call us here? I wonder if this is a waste of troops. Are they all pig heads?"
"Don't talk nonsense." A companion next to him said, showing half of his teeth, "The commander-in-chief of this war is General Solon Bonaparte. Do you think General Bonaparte is a pig head? Are you afraid of sudden changes? Ten thousand general fanatics will appear and beat you to a pulp?"
Mario shrank his neck after hearing this and quickly explained: "I didn't say General Bonaparte was a pig. I don't think General Bonaparte would do anything to ask us to search here. The reason why there was a transfer order is probably because Some idiot sent from the palace had a very high opinion of himself. He obviously knew nothing but gave random orders, and ended up transferring us here. He is the pig head."
"Don't be so stubborn." A soldier with a crooked mouth came over and said, "What if there really is some tunnel here?"
Mario looked around, glanced at the village not far away, stepped forward, and walked to a flat land with nothing. Stomping his feet, he stabbed down hard with the long sword in his hand, stirred it up, and called out to his companions: "Do you think there is a tunnel here? Am I stupid, or are you stupid?"
Do you dare to bet? If I lose the bet, I will only eat enough for three...four people at every meal. Let me tell you, there is absolutely no tunnel entrance here. The person who gave the order must be a pig... Hey! "
