◈ Genius Shin-Gung who became a one-man army (79)

The award ceremony was held, and it was held under the command of the corps commander.

The soldiers of Eagle Company and Arrowhead Company, who participated in this truly unprecedented award ceremony, were frozen in place.

It’s a given.

Even if you have served in the military for more than ten years, there are only one or two instances of this type of reward being given.

But how many times has this happened now?

This is the third time that a merit award has been given in less than three years.

It was to the point where I thought that I could make a mark on the history of the kingdom.

There is a reward for merit that is carried out under the command of the corps commander.

This was because ending the long battle in Bieltona was a valuable result for the kingdom.

The members of the Arrowhead Company and the Eagle Company kept their hearts heavy and silent.

“From now on, we will begin the rewards ceremony for the fierce battle of Bieltona! In order to ensure a smooth process, we will refrain from using honorifics for the time being!”

An indescribable sense of pride seemed to ripple through my body at the shout of the 6th Corps’ secretary general.

And the first one called was,

“Squad Leader Derek! He has been promoted to Captain for his honorable death! In addition, his family will receive 50 gold, and the unit will grant them 20 gold per year to live a prosperous life!”

An unexpected name.

The moment Derek’s name was called, the entire unit became silent.

Because everyone remembered his death.

A heroic death worthy of a soldier.

But the grief of the remaining family members will be indescribable.

Still, something warm rose up in my heart when I saw that the kingdom remembered his brave name and took care of his family.

Then came the story of the rewards for the dead. And when they were finished, the secretary-general shouted:

“From now on, for the comrades who returned alive-!”

““Waaa …

As thunderous cheers erupted, the secretary-general chuckled and shouted.

“Next up is Eagle Company’s platoon leader, Brian!”

Starting with Brian, all the platoon leaders of Eagle Company were called out.

They were rewarded with a one-rank promotion, a small amount of gold, and ten days of vacation.

“Captain Raymond of Eagle Company!”

As the commander of Eagle Company, Raymond did not receive a promotion to major, but he was promoted from a 300-man to a 500-man, and was given priority for the next promotion.

Clap clap clap clap clap clap-!

Everyone present applauded and congratulated them on their performance.

Raymond, who came down from the stage, looked at the platoon leaders and soldiers with a brighter smile than ever before.

The rewards for merit continued.

“Next, we will present the rewards for the key role that ended the Battle of Bieltona, Arrowhead.”

Each enlisted man in the Arrowhead Corps was given a two-rank promotion, 20 gold, and a weapon or piece of armor from the Smith’s Forge located west of Kurtain.

The moment the Secretary General finished speaking, the Arrowhead unit members stirred.

“Wow! If it’s the Smith’s Forge, then it’s a really famous place!”

“I never thought I’d be given a reward like this… I was already wanting to change my weapon.”

“My armor broke and I had to replace it, and I get this reward too? Hehe.”

But soon, they quickly shut their mouths due to the glares from those around them.

The atmosphere quickly became solemn as the secretary-general coughed softly and continued speaking.

“Ahem! Next up is the rewards for the Ten Commanders. Each Ten Commander of the Arrowhead Corps will receive a two-rank promotion, 30 gold, and one weapon and one piece of armor from the Smith’s Forge.”

“Umm…….”

“……nice.”

“There are two of us.”

The ten leaders secretly clenched their fists and tried to suppress their joy.

The secretary general then looked at the little boy under the podium.

“Arrowhead’s second-in-command, Isaac, come up to the podium!”

Isaac, who had climbed up onto the stage at his call, bit his lips with difficulty.

Soon, Saila, who was standing next to me, spoke to me and Isaac.

“Isaac is the second-in-command of the Arrowhead Corps and has made a great contribution to the Battle of Bieltona. In recognition of his efforts, he is granted a two-rank promotion, 50 gold, and all armor including weapons from the Smith’s Forge. For the remaining rewards, please ask your second-in-command.”

“thank you!”

Isaac saluted, shouting loudly and placing his right fist against his left chest.

As Sailor smiled and saluted, Isaac turned stiffly and walked down the podium.

And the long-awaited last one.

The Arrowhead Corps members all looked at the Secretary General with sparkling eyes.

‘Quickly, call the captain’s name!’

‘Rian! It’s Rian!’

‘Ohhhhh! Captain!’

Everyone was waiting for Lian’s name to be called. But,

“With this, the awarding of rewards and honors ends. Lieutenant Commander of Arrowhead, Lian, will now speak to the Corps Commander.”

“Huh?”

“So, an interview?”

“What is this?”

“Where can you find such a reward?”

At that moment, the room started to tremble and become noisy,

“Quiet!”

A small but very clear voice.

Isaac, who had magical powers in his voice, only blew the sound behind him.

Isaac’s small cry, mixed with a hint of anger, silenced not only the Arrowhead Unit but also the soldiers of Eagle Company.

Lian, who was standing next to Isaac, smiled brightly.

“Rian, follow me.”

“yes.”

With those words from Seyla, the award ceremony came to an end.

Although the results were somewhat questionable, Lian began to follow Seyla’s words.

Thud thud.

Seyla walked with Lian, leaving out all the other aides and other executives.

Seila asked, looking at Lian who was following her one step behind.

“Are you sad that there is no reward?”

“No, those weren’t things I needed anyway.”

“Kekekeke, this is the first time I’ve seen someone say they don’t like money. If the reward had been paid out normally, I would have received 100 gold and equipment of the same value.”

“it’s okay.”

It really was.

Money didn’t mean much to Lian, who was already earning hundreds of times more than that.

And Cela took Lian to the commander’s annex within the battalion.

A place to stay when the commander arrives.

Since it was her first time here, Lian looked at the annex building with a bit of curiosity.

And before entering the annex,

Towering.

Seyla stopped walking and spoke softly while looking at the door.

“I don’t worry too much because I know you… but from now on, you have to be careful with your words and actions.”

“…….”

Lian’s eyes shook at her words.

Because he knew why the commander had brought him here and who was inside.

‘Here… … .’

There’s the 3rd Prince Ethan Artian… …?

Gulp.

Lian swallowed without realizing it.

Lian nodded and answered.

“All right.”

At Lian’s somewhat stiff answer, Seila opened the door and went inside.

And as we went a little further inside, there was a dozen people and a man sitting in the middle of them.

“……ah.”

At that moment, Lian let out a sigh without realizing it.

Blindly beautiful blonde hair.

He had a calm smile on his face, but he had a strange aura that made it seem like he wouldn’t even be allowed to talk to me.

Nevertheless, he was a man who felt warm, as if he was standing before warm sunlight.

Ethan said as Lian and Seyla took their places.

“Are you Lian?”

* * *

The Arrowhead troops who entered the barracks rushed towards Isaac, including the ten captains.

“No, where did the captain go?”

“Wow… This is the first time I’ve heard of an interview as a reward. Has there ever been a case like this?”

“Oh, we got a two-rank promotion, a huge reward, and even received equipment… But what about the interview, Commander?”

They didn’t hide their discontent.

Because everyone knows that Lian has worked harder and achieved greater achievements than anyone else.

Isaac said to them,

“Everyone calm down.”

“Do you know anything, Vice-Captain?”

At someone’s question, the unit members’ gaze turned to Isaac.

Isaac said to him.

“Well… but isn’t it important?”

“I think so……”

Florent nodded.

Because the interview simply seemed different from what they had imagined.

A situation where nothing is known.

The unit members simply kept their mouths shut and remained silent.

* * *

“Are you Lian?”

The moment his voice flowed out, it felt as if the frozen silence had been broken.

Lian clenched his right fist and hit his left chest.

“Arrowhead Unit Commander, White Captain Lian, meets Prince Ethan!”

Sigh.

Seila, who was next to Lian, raised the corners of her lips at Lian’s actions.

Ethan also smiled slightly and said to Lian.

“What a great soldier. Usually, when you meet me, you kneel first… Salute. How soldierly.”

“……You are too kind.”

Lian answered Ethan’s words. Ethan then looked at Gilbert, who was standing next to him, and said.

“Do you know the interest rate?”

“……yes?”

Lian turned her head and saw the man standing next to Ethan.

A face I’m seeing for the first time.

But the moment I saw him, I felt strangely familiar.

My whole body feels frozen, a weight weighing on my shoulders. And more than anything, those eyes…

“S, really……?”

Lian’s eyes shook violently.

Ethan shook his head slightly with a bitter expression at Lian’s reaction.

“Don’t you think Kyung-i won?”

“I think I won, Your Highness.”

“Haa…… I’ll give it to you when I get back. That drink is so precious…….”

“Your Majesty the Prince.”

“Yeah, that’s a secondary issue……”

Ethan looked at Lian.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to see me?”

At that moment, Lian bit her lip tightly at his question.

Because my mind suddenly became complicated.

‘How should I say this… … .’

Even in my past life, I never learned anything about palace etiquette. What’s more, I’ve never seen royalty up close before.

In the Artian Kingdom, even a single misspelled word can result in execution for insulting royalty.

I had a clear message, but it was difficult to begin with how to say it.

at that time,

“Just talk like you are.”

Saila, who was standing next to him, spoke quietly.

Lian nodded and looked at the third prince, Evan.

“I’m determined,” said Lian.

“I am aware of the current situation of the Third Prince within the kingdom. And also of the political power relations, including that of General Seila, who stands next to me.”

Ethan’s expression hardened in an instant. Gilbert, who was standing next to him, began to look at him with a murderous intent.

I feel like I could get cut off right here if I’m not careful.

But Lian paid no attention and continued talking.

“I know that if the Third Prince becomes king, he will implement good policies that consider the people.”

“Why do you think so?”

“You can easily tell just by looking at the spirit you have now.”

The current location of Prince Ethan is not well known, but it is likely one of the most livable estates in the kingdom.

The tax rate was lower than in other fiefdoms, and the tax rates for those with a lot and those without were different.

However, the reason there was no opposition from the wealthy was because it opened the way for the wealthy to accumulate wealth based on smooth connections with other territories.

As the haves satisfy their desires for wealth, they also use some of the wealth thus satisfied to fund policies for the have-nots.

This is truly an ideal policy that is naturally being implemented wherever he is.

“You can also tell by looking at the way they fight.”

His intention is to avoid civil war so that his country’s soldiers will not be hurt if possible.

Of course, if you look at it one way, it could be seen as weakness. And that could be the reason why the three princes were defeated in their past lives.

But considering all that, there was no doubt about his heart for the people.

chuck!

Lian stood up straight, putting both feet together.

“As a soldier protecting this country, and as a great general in the distant future who hopes for the revival of the kingdom, I would like to ask you a question, Your Majesty.”

Lian’s dreamy words, “General,” flowed out, but no one laughed.

Because Lian’s eyes and expression were so serious.

Ethan said.

“I permit you to ask questions. Tell me, what do you wish to ask me?”

Lian said to Ethan.

“If the prince becomes king……”

And Ethan’s expression hardened at Lian’s subsequent words.
