The Immortal Genius Spearman (110)
“We have arrived.”

The barracks where Balpate’s Kion unit is located.

The carriage stopped and Kiaren slowly got out and looked around.

“Something feels off?”

“It seems that there are many soldiers resting due to the many injured.”

“You said that everyone’s injuries were serious?”

“yes.”

“Tsk… … .”

Kiaren clicked his tongue slightly in pity at the sight of the soldiers who must have suffered.

And as we entered the barracks, Leonhark immediately approached us and saluted us.

“Glory to the kingdom!”

“You’ve worked hard. By the way, where did Captain Kion go?”

Normally, he would have been the first one to jump out and salute.

When Damien was out of sight, Kiaren asked.

Leonhark said to him.

“The captain and deputy captain of the Kaion corps have now moved to a city near Balpate.”

“Nearby cities?”

“Yes, that is… … .”

Kiaren nodded at Leonhark’s subsequent words.

* * *

“McDoell… is dead?”

“… … I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you. And this is something McDowell wanted to pass on to his family.”

Damien held out something wrapped in white cloth.

Each unit member kept in the barracks an item that he wanted to pass on to his family after his death.

And when a comrade died, we decided to wrap his belongings that were stored in the barracks in a white cloth and deliver them to him.

“This, this is… … .”

The woman in front accepted the cloth Damien handed her with trembling hands.

As if he couldn’t believe it.

The will that seemed as if it would not be believed, but was firmly resolved, collapsed the moment the square cloth was spread out.

“Keuheup… … Heuk… … Ugh… … Heuk heuk… … .”

McDoell’s mother began to shake her shoulders as she looked at the carved wooden ornaments.

Drool flowed out from between her tightly clenched lips as she tried to hold back her tears, and tears poured out of her eyes.

A sculpture of a baby in a woman’s arms.

It was a sculpture that McDowell carved himself, thinking of his mother who hugged him a lot when he was young.

“I’m really… … sorry.”

Damien bowed his head in greeting. Diana, who was next to him, also bowed her head.

All they could do now was offer this kind of consolation.

Then Damien and Diana turned around.

Now, he was just trying to get out of the way so that McDowell’s mother could think about him.

So Damien and Diana turned around.

dump.

McDowell’s mother, who had been holding a piece of wood in her arms, knelt down and bowed her head.

Because I pictured before my eyes the words that I would never see my son again and the face of my son who said that he would return soon.

And then when Damien and Diana drifted apart… … .

“Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww!”

The desperate cries of parents who had lost their children resonated.

* * *

A few days passed.

Damian and Diana, still recovering from their injuries, rode a carriage around the towns near Balfait to meet the families of their fallen comrades and tell them about their deaths.

Blood-spitting sorrow.

It was impossible to express their feelings in words.

All Damien and Diana could do was leave their sorrow and suffering behind, as if it were going to end.

“… … Phew.”

Damien, returning to the unit, sighed heavily inside the carriage.

Less than a week.

There was so much going on in there.

He fought against the Rose Knights, one of the most powerful armed groups on the continent, and held a funeral for his dead comrades.

And meeting the families of my dead comrades and delivering their belongings along with news of them was a much more demanding task than I had imagined.

“Please get some shut-eye. Otherwise, you’ll collapse.”

“Then… … should I just do that for a little bit?”

At Diana’s words, Damian let out a small breath and closed his eyes.

Right now, I really… … just want to rest for a bit.

‘No matter how much time passes, I can’t seem to get used to it.’

No, maybe I will never be able to adapt to it for the rest of my life. It’s like saying goodbye to precious colleagues who I have worked with.

But isn’t this also something Damien has to go through?

Just for this moment… …I’m just taking a little break.

Damien was able to briefly put down the burden that had been piling up while he slept in the shaking carriage.

and.

“The deputy commander and deputy commander are returning!”

The soldier standing guard at the entrance to the unit shouted loudly as he saw Damien and Diana walking from afar.

Kyle and Jerka, who were in the barracks with him, quickly ran out to greet Damian and Diana.

“Are you here?”

“Thank you for your hard work. Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander.”

Damian burst into laughter at Kyle and Jerka’s words.

“Why are you coming out like this to greet me?”

“That’s… … The commander came and went a few days ago.”

“… … Commander of the 6th Corps?”

“yes.”

Kyle talked about what happened a few days ago.

Damien said he would come back after hearing about the schedule for meeting the families of the fallen soldiers.

“And that’s today. You’re exactly where you are.”

“The commander is coming again today?”

“Yes, maybe… … .”

Kyle trailed off. But soon.

“… … You’re here.”

A little bit away from the entrance to the base.

Kyle muttered as he looked at the carriage that appeared there.

Damien couldn’t hide his bewildered expression as he spoke to Kyle.

“What is the current status of the unit members?”

“Most of them are able to move. The critically ill are lying in the infirmary.”

“Then bring out all the guys who can move and line them up. I don’t know why, but you made the commander walk twice, so we have to treat him well this time.”

“Yes, I understand!”

As Kyle entered the barracks, Damian looked at Diana and said.

“Change into something neat. You can’t greet the commander in this state.”

“yes.”

Diana answered Damien’s words.

Two people whose schedules were thrown into disarray after a few days. But then.

“I already prepared your clothes. I knew you’d come, so I ironed them well, hehe.”

Jerka said with a cheeky smile.

Damian looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.

“It wasn’t your idea, was it? Did Terka tell you to do it?”

“What are you talking about! I did it, I did it! Ugh!”

Jerka spoke, poking her own chest with her thumb, then frowned in pain.

That idiot must have forgotten that he got hit in the chest by an enemy knight’s shield during a fight.

Damien looked at Diana and smirked at the sight.

“Did you hear that? I said I was ready, so get dressed and come out right away.”

“yes!”

I felt complicated and sad throughout the entire schedule of meeting the families of the fallen soldiers.

however.

‘… … It’s like coming home.’

As soon as I entered the unit and saw those guys, I felt a sense of relief. And… … .

‘At that point… … did everyone change a little?’

It occurred to me that perhaps the fight against the Rose Knights was not simply about raising the reputation of the Kion Unit.

A more tightly knit unit.

Damien smiled at the changing atmosphere of the unit and quickly changed his clothes.

* * *

Kiaren, getting off the carriage, burst into laughter as if he found the current situation ridiculous.

“Edman, does this make sense?”

“… … Isn’t that what the Commander wanted?”

Edman spoke directly to Kiaren, already knowing what she was going to say.

It was also Kiaren’s will to come here earlier, and it was Edmun who suggested that we call the Kion unit into a legion when we had made a futile attempt.

But even that was rejected by Kiaren and he went to find Balfate himself.

“Tsk, but I can’t tell all the injured kids to come.”

When I came here the other day, the injuries of the Kaion unit members were more serious than I thought.

Because everyone had one or two fairly deep sword wounds.

If you don’t know that fact, you wouldn’t know, but even if you knew, you couldn’t call them a legion.

Edman said to him.

“Then the current situation makes complete sense.”

“… … Let’s talk about it separately later.”

Kiaren scolded Edmund and then headed towards the barracks where the Kion troops were.

“I’ve been waiting.”

Leonhark approached her.

Kiaren asked him.

“What about the soldiers?”

“I’m waiting at the parade ground. Please go there.”

Leonhark guided Kiaren and they headed to the parade ground where their unit members were.

And the moment Kiaren appears on the parade ground.

“Attention!”

chuck!

At Damien’s shout, the unit members looked at Kiaren with their hands raised in protest.

Then, as Kiaren stood on the podium, Damian shouted again.

“Salute to the Commander!”

“Glory to the kingdom!”

A shout that resonates loudly.

Damian turned and saluted Kiaren.

“Glory to the kingdom!”

“Glory to the palace.”

Kiaren looked at them and answered in a small voice.

“as soon as!”

Soon, Kiaren smiled at the sight of his unit members.

“The troops are busy resting.”

As the men relaxed a little with a few words, Kiaren looked at them and said.

“first…….”

There were quite a few things I wanted to say, but this seemed to be the first thing I wanted to say.

“Thank you for coming back alive.”

It was a battle with the Rose Knights.

There were casualties, but didn’t most of the unit return safely?

Just that alone shows how great a job they have done. Let alone… … .

“Half of the Rose Knights have been wiped out… … Honestly, the commander is doubtful whether others will believe this.”

Although the report had already been submitted to the palace, the atmosphere was already quite turbulent.

But now that it has been proven to be true, I didn’t want to get caught up in that atmosphere.

Kiaren looked at Edman who was next to him.

“Edman.”

“Captain of the Kaion Unit, Damian, to the podium!”

At Edman’s shout, Damian stepped up onto the platform.

Edmund shouted at him.

“The Kaion Corps resisted the imperial military actions that threatened all the kingdoms of the continent, and in the process, they achieved incredible feats against the Rose Knights, one of the most prestigious knight orders in the empire!”

As Edman’s shout rang out, the unit members lined up on the parade ground had to try hard to suppress the smirks rising from their lips.

Their major that they hear from other people.

Because it felt different from talking amongst themselves.

Edman continued.

“All members of the Kaion Unit! In addition to a one-rank promotion, you will also receive 50 gold. Additionally, you will receive one weapon from the Legion’s weapon warehouse as a reward!”

“Wow, whoa!?”

“A real special promotion costs 50 gold!”

“Is it just as the captain said?”

Everyone’s eyes widened at the award that fell so precisely.

This was because, in general, no matter how high the merit, it was not an award that soldiers in regular units could receive.

And to him.

“Hehehe, I’m finally a sergeant. Call me sergeant.”

“I’m a sergeant too, kid. Hehehehehe.”

Looking at those guys laughing at the word ‘special promotion’.

“Hey, you punks. The sergeants and the bastards are liking each other. The company commander got promoted again this time and is now a sergeant.”

“……ah?”

“omg!”

“… … the figures.”

One of the soldiers shook his head as he watched the men with surprised expressions. But soon they focused and looked at the stage.

The rewards for meritorious deeds are not over yet.

and.

“Captain Kaion, Damian.”

“yes!”

“You fought alone against a dozen knights in the battle against the Rose Knights, helping our forces win, and raising the reputation of the kingdom… .”

Edman glanced at Kiaren. Kiaren nodded.

Edman said with a faint smile.

“I hereby grant you a promotion by one rank and the appointment as a Three Hundred Man Commander. In addition, I hereby grant you the authority to increase the strength of the Kion Unit by three hundred men.”

After Edman finished speaking.

“I look forward to your continued good performance.”

Kiaren stepped forward and extended his hand to Damian. Damian then took Kiaren’s hand.

“Boss! Damien! I will do my best!”

At those words, the unit members applauded and cheered.

Thinking of the Kaion unit that will become even stronger in the future.
