Mage Joan

Chapter 1604: Enlistment (Ⅱ)

"Joan, which company do you go to, are you sure?" Arnold asked.

"not yet."

"Let’s go to the First Cavalry Battalion with us. Let’s have a few buddies together and have a look in the barracks! Otherwise, a pretty boy like you who looks white and beautiful will never have that kind. The dog-eyed old ** tries to bully you!"

Arnold Haha smiled and patted Joan on the shoulder and said, "I'm not worried that you will be bullied by others. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold back the fire. You're too ruthless. The spell blows up the barracks!"

"Don't joke Arnold! My temper has always been good, not as grumpy as you said!"

Facing Arnold's earnest invitation, Joan shook his head with apology.

"Sorry, the notice I received was to report to the headquarters first. For specific appointments, follow the arrangement of Lord Castis."

"It turned out to be..." Arnold guessed with a chin in touch. "Most of the Lord has heard of your reputation and intends to keep you as a combat staff beside him. Instead of letting a genius mage like you go with us to the front line Things that do not require brainstorming, such as'throwing fireballs and bombarding Canaanites', are still left in the headquarters to make suggestions and make the most of the value of a talented mind."

"I don't know."

In fact, Joan does not agree with Arnold’s concept. He is more willing to fight on the front line than staying at the headquarters as a staff officer, and he is indeed very good at fighting a large group of enemy forces with his own strength. Service experience has fully proved this point.

The reason why he declined Arnold's invitation and did not want to serve in the First Cavalry Battalion, in addition to following the reasons for Lord Castis to arrange this apparently, there is an inconvenient factor that is that he does not like the commander of the First Cavalry Battalion -Lieutenant Colonel Henry James-paranoid racist thought, he feels very uncomfortable to be a soldier under such men.

Joan felt that since he volunteered to join the army, at least he wanted to cooperate with a superior who didn't hate it. Otherwise, he might as well give up his military status and simply attack the intruder as a civilian, but he would be more free.

The convoy stopped outside the barracks gate. The students got out of their bags and followed Arnold to the center of the square to gather military uniforms and nameplates from the quartermaster.

Baron Laval delivered a brief welcome speech, and later arranged for the 300-plus "student soldiers" to report to their respective companies.

Joan, Arnold, and others said goodbye, dressed in a blue uniform that had just been replaced, and went to the Corps headquarters alone to visit Lord Castis.

When he arrived at the command department, Joan inquired the guards on guard and learned that the Lord was in poor health. He rarely showed up in the headquarters and usually worked in his barracks.

I don't know if it was out of enthusiasm or not worried about Joan. The guard offered to take him to Lord Castis's barracks, named Leading Road, but Joan felt that the other party was monitoring himself.

Considering Lord Castis's important position in the Corps and his poor health, Joanne believes that the guard should be vigilant against strangers like himself, and certainly not feel aggrieved.

After the briefing, a tall, dark-skinned Assa man came out, and Joan immediately recognized Heimdall, Lord Cassis's personal servant, and hurried forward to say hello.

Heimdall bowed and returned the gift and kindly invited Joan into the house.

"Dr. Vader is coming in. Lord Ye is waiting for you."

The guard who sent Joan, at this time, was convinced that this young man, who looked only 15 or sixteen years old, was really Dr. Offa of Midgard University, a genius mage highly valued by Lord Castis, relieved Yu, also frightened by the fact that he did not know the noble, repeatedly apologized to Joan.

"You are just performing your duties without any fault, and there is no need to apologize to me."

After comforting the guard, Joan followed Heimdall into the barracks.

In addition to Heimdall, Lord Castis also brought four servants from his manor to wait for his master to eat and drink.

This is not all because the Lord is sick and needs care. Those noble officers in the army who are in good health are also surrounded by slaves brought by their own.

The military service system of the colony is largely inherited from the home country, and it has quite the legacy of the knightly war of the old era.

For example, officers in the army are rarely promoted by ordinary soldiers accumulating merits step by step. Most of them are children of wealthy and wealthy families. They spent money to buy a cavalry captain or lieutenant rank, which started higher than the big-headed soldiers from civilians. .

According to the traditions of the knighthood, the officers in the army had to be nobles, and some even had a glorious knighthood. These knight masters always shouted and shouted when they were on the expedition. They were brought out from their manor from the stern to the groom.

Today, with the advent of the age of magic industry, the economy of feudal manor is gradually declining, and the battlefield is no longer just a stage where the knights and masters show their might.

The art of war is becoming more and more cruel and efficient. A civilian soldier equipped with a magic crystal rifle can gently pull the trigger from a hundred steps away, and then he can turn the knight master wearing a full set of ancestral armor. Shoot down the horse.

Compared with the empire, the colony does not have as many noble families with long and intertwined history. Most of the officers in the army are wealthy manor owners, factory owners, or those heirs who have no inheritance rights in the family of big merchants. They spend money to buy a military rank and mix in the army. Seniority is one of the few outlets for these rich children.

The young officers of the rich family, who followed the old-world knighthood, brought their own servants and even a large group of slaves to the army station, and they also harbored a comparison mentality to show off their wealth.

It is those young people who have received university education and are deeply influenced by enlightenment ideas, such as Arnold and Audrey. Even if they are from noble families, they do not follow the example of the old knights. They will not bring their domestic servants to join the army. It is rare to take the initiative to talk about your family background in front of your comrades in arms, and is happy to have equal contact with peers of ordinary age but superior abilities like Joan.

In the past two years, Joan has served in the army many times in Yalfheim and Midgard, and he has experienced the old traditions and new customs coexisting in the barracks, which often makes him a wonderful Feeling, as if at the estuary where the 100 rivers meet, wrapped in a torrent of water and rushed downstream-a corner that symbolizes the change of the old and the new era, not far in front!

Lord Castis, a war hero twenty years ago, was supposed to be a model of the old knight lord. However, Joan couldn’t see the old and conservative school in this sickly old man, otherwise he wouldn’t Will rely on the other party to arrange for their duties during service.
