The battlefield of the night.

Not far away, the soldiers' charges shook the earth and splashed countless mud. Fortunately, in Joshua's eyes looking at the mentally retarded, they finally slowed down as they approached, and did not hit the seriously injured soldier in one go.

"Deputy Commander!"

A soldier who was leading the army called out with concern, then frowned and looked at him with his comrades: "This injury... are you okay?!"

How could it be fine...

He was a little strange at first, but Joshua quickly recognized the people in front of him. These soldiers wearing black crow armor were all his subordinates in the Black Crow Forward Army. Now he was too lazy to be polite and sighed as before: "Why are you standing there? Help me and be careful of your wounds."

After saying that, these soldiers woke up like a dream. As imperial soldiers, they undoubtedly learned some first aid methods, but it was obvious that the injuries on Joshua's body were no longer something they could handle. It would be better to say that this was a serious injury of the near-death level. Ordinary people could not get up at all, let alone walk.

However, before they met, they all thought that Joshua was dead. After all, there was no other possibility of rushing into the orc enemy formation alone. As a result, they never expected that he was still alive. Although he was seriously injured and dying now, he seemed to be able to move forward with a gun. He really deserved to be the deputy commander!

With the support of two warriors, Joshua quickly returned to the military formation. Two priests and a necromancer stepped forward and carried him into a temporary medical account to treat him.

Although the Necromancer's name is evil, it is not considered a villain in the Mycrov Road. The official recognized serious Necromancer accepts the corpses of volunteers and studies the body structures of humans and various alien races. This group of people are proficient in human body structure and are the best internal injuries doctors. Because they can communicate with spirits, they also work part-time to assist the guards in handling cases.

Of course, there are serious necromancers and undead sacrificers who focus on killing. They are obsessed with physical transformation and soul alienation, walking zombies, chimera, fusion of vengeful ghosts, flesh and blood puppets, and other familiar monsters. They are all the creations of powerful undead sacrificers in history.

The priest's magic can heal all external injuries, while the Necromancer's superb spells can heal the internal organs. With only thirty minutes of healing and a not-so-rich but very important supper, Joshua felt that he had recovered his basic vitality, and the wound on his abdomen was completely healed. The health value of the attribute version of the [Severe Endangered] has become [Medium Injury], and the negative state is only [Severe Fatigue].

"How did you come here?" After swallowing the last sip of military rations, Joshua asked, "What's the situation?"

"Our squadron came to clean up the battlefield and prepare for the fortress of the Dreis that surrounded the orcs."

The captain of this squadron, the subordinate of Joshua, and a soldier named Ryan, explained the current form to him: "The orcs on the front battlefield were defeated and now they can only retreat to the fortress, and our mission is to guard every path and completely block it."

The Black Crow Legion is one of the four major legions directly under the Imperial Emperor. It is divided into five parts: the vanguard army, the main army, the heavy cavalry group, the mage team (including other spell casters such as the priest and sorcerer), and the logistics. In the game, it has a special warrior profession, the Black Crow Raider, the knight profession, the Black Crow Conqueror and the special thief transfer to the "Death Sweeper".

Joshua is so young, but he is one of the two deputy commanders of the vanguard army. Half because of his family background and half because of his ability. The soldiers believed in his powerful force and his relationship was pretty good, but now he looks more respectful than before.

In fact, the reason is very simple - Ryan and others have seen the battlefield where corpses are everywhere.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and iron, the land was covered with slippery blood, and there were broken corpses everywhere, rotten meat and internal organs covered every floor.

It is completely impossible to imagine the tragic battle, and it is even more impossible to imagine how powerful Joshua is to do this with one person.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but say, "Since it's sunset, it's impossible to count the number of orcs for the time being." After thinking for a while, but not knowing what to say, the warrior couldn't help but touch his helmet and simply said bluntly: "I have questioned your age and strength in the past. Now, I think about it, my eyes are really too short-sighted."

"I'm afraid even the general will pay attention to this great achievement and will grant you the Blade of Glory."

The Blade of Glory is not a real weapon, but a glory jewelry similar to a badge. Those who can obtain it are undoubtedly the most brave warrior on the battlefield. In the game, a Blade of Glory is an essential element of the achievement of a platinum trophy. It is hyped up to a sky-high price of over 100,000 gold coins, and it is worth 20,000 gold coins on weekdays, and a complete set of magic armor is only 70,000 to 80,000.

In addition, in the middle of the game, a Blade of Glory badge can be directly exchanged into the [Travel Knight Appointment Letter] in the Imperial Capital. After completing the task, players can open a temporary copy in the Unmanned Wilderness or the Black Forest. By breaking through it, they can establish the Pirate Knight Corps on the spot and become the lord.

"Maybe."

Joshua waved his hand and didn't take it seriously at all. He thought that in the disputed continent, in order to find the best battle group base, the Blade of Glory was a kilogram brush, and the Lord's dungeon brushed in a dim way, and he wanted to vomit. Because the process was too thrilling and singing, he now felt disgusting when he recalled it. A mere Blade of Glory is not an extremely precious [Appointment Letter of the Dominant Lord], it is nothing at all.

Not to mention the orcs, he brushed the Northwest Plain dungeons no less than a hundred times, and slaughtered tens of thousands of orcs, which was very incomprehensible.

Feeling that his body had almost been healed, all that was left was resting, Joshua nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, continue to lead the team to carry out the mission, there is no need to delay it because of me."

"Who is the deputy commander?"

"I'll just go back to see the chief alone."

The commander mentioned here is not the commander of the legion, but the commander of the vanguard army. According to military rules, every officer must hold a meeting to discuss his duties after the war, and Joshua is no exception. Although he missed it because of his coma before, he can also find a boss to make up for it later.

Rejecting Ruian's suggestion to send someone to escort, Joshua changed into a brand new dress and walked alone to the path leading to the Central Army formation of the Black Crow Legion.

At this time, except for a scar in the corner of his eyes that could not be completely healed, the other injuries were almost healed. Although his eyes were exhausted, his actions were still straightforward.

Half an hour later, because he, the deputy commander, still had a sense of existence, Joshua moved unimpededly to the commanding tent where the commander was located.

And his immediate boss, the commander of the Black Crow Forward Army, the Golden Heavy Knight, Odo, was drinking coffee and watching a report sent by the spy on the table.

He has short golden hair, a burly figure, and his courageous muscles look enough to burst out the armor. As he glances at his eyes, his eyes seem to penetrate the paper.

"puff--"

After picking up the report, I just saw half of it, Odo couldn't help but squirt out a sip of coffee, and then gasped: "The Wolf Team of the Etoo Tribe has been completely destroyed? The number is cancelled?"

He took out a tissue, wiped the corner of his mouth, and frowned: "Etoo is one of the largest tribes of the orcs, and the Wolf Team is their elite force. This is a fucking one of the more than one hundred silver-grade orcs. His average strength is in the middle, not a group of pellet birds. How was it destroyed?"

"Did the spy get hit by an orc and his brain is so badly hit? It's not right. Give them ten thousand courages. This group of people dare not write casually in this situation. I should believe in their professional qualities..."

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

After a while, a confident voice rang outside the military tent.

"Report! Joshua, the deputy commander of the vanguard army, asked for a visit!"

"……Come in."

Joshua opened the tent behind the scenes and found that his immediate boss was looking at him with the look of looking at the monster.

"Agree, are you possessed by the Abyss Demon?"

Joshua: “…?”

"You can actually destroy Eto'a Wolf Team alone, I really can't tell!"

Crossed his hands on his chest, the Golden Knight looked at Joshua up and down, as if it was his first time to know him. He was amazed while talking: "Although it was done by occupying the favorable terrain of the canyon, no matter what, your strength has improved greatly, and gold will be expected in the future!"

Joshua understood it, and it seemed that Odo already knew that he had slaughtered many orcs.

But what is the Wolf Team?

"Look at your expression... well, then again, how dare you rush over alone at that time? Have you thought about the consequences?!"

Looking at Joshua who looked dissatisfied, Odo sighed, feeling that he was old and didn't understand the world of young people. Then he slapped the table and taught a lesson: "Do you still want to go back alive to inherit the title, my little earl?"

He had a friendship with the Earl of Northland, that is, Joshua's father, and was half an elder, and he spoke casually.

“…You are right.”

"Forget it, judging from your tired look, you don't need to speak your job, hurry up and go and rest."

The commander shook his head and waved his hand to ask Joshua to leave quickly, "No matter what, just be alive."

The next day, the war entered a period of confrontation, and the Black Crow Legion, who was the vanguard, was replaced back to the rear for cultivation.

A tent with a strong military style, with some tools and oil tanks for maintenance of weapons placed beside the bed. The interior is full of traces of fireworks and is decorated very simple.

"Deputy Commander!"

After changing into new clothes, he slept well. Now that he was writing a retirement application in his tent, Joshua suddenly heard the messenger calling him outside, so he could only put his pen aside and said, "Tell me."

"The commander said he had something to come to you!"

"...It just so happens that I have something to look for him."

after a while.

"Retired? I know there is something wrong with your family, but now it's wartime, I don't have the authority to let you go back."

Sitting at the table, Odo touched his chin, looking helpless: "But it's almost over. The orcs will definitely surrender before winter comes. They don't have much food to store, and you can retire according to the normal process."

"It was completely late at that time!" Qiao Xiuya stood in the huge main tent decorated with black and gold, frowned at the boss in front of the table, and said, "The letter said that the situation was very nervous. I didn't know what chaos was going on at home."

"It's useless to tell me... As for calling you over, it's not that I have something to ask you for trouble, but that the boss sent someone to call you just now, and I can't refuse."

Commander Odog held the armrest in his hand and was half lying on the big chair. He looked at the serious subordinate in front of him and felt a little headache.

"Who is it?"

"When we meet, we pay attention to it... it's a golden balance."

====================

"Jothia van Radcliffe was born on October 15, 810, and was the first heir to the Moldavia ranking. He joined the army in 826. He was recommended to the Imperial Officer Academy in 828. He graduated from the Imperial Miskatonik Officer Training Center with outstanding results in June 830. Since then, he has been fighting in the Northwest Plain and the frontline of the Thomas Canyon."

An emotionally unspoken statement sounded, and a middle-aged man wearing a red-edged black coat sat on a big chair at the conference table with an indifferent expression. He recited a lot of words to the information in his hand, without any fluctuations in his voice, as dry as a machine.

"And it is October 16, 831, at 11:47."

After a moment of pause, he raised his head and looked directly at Joshua sitting opposite him, and said in a playful tone: "There are thirteen minutes left before noon. Mr. Deputy Commander of the Black Crow Forward Army, you have thirteen minutes to explain your crime."

A conspicuous heraldry on his left chest was a golden balance with half of the sword and half of the ears of grain.

This is the symbol of the noble court.

"Okay, examiner, Mr. Monster, but before that..."

After receiving Odo's reminder, Joshua, who was mentally prepared, did not feel nervous. He put his hand on the armrest and said leisurely: "Can I have a cup of tea first?"

"certainly."

The examiner's tone was the same as the stick reading, but he was unexpectedly good at speaking: "Black tea?"

"Some ice, thank you."

"nothing."

After the guards at the door brought the tea, he added: "It's twelve minutes now."

Joshua took a sip and smiled, "No problem."

Strange chatting and laughing.

But Joshua was thinking in his heart.
