My Endless Life

Chapter 9 The war is over...?

If Li Qi had not killed Crazy Axe and stopped more Farol soldiers from entering the Mien attack and defense, the Mien defense line might have really fallen.

It is normal for Li Qi, who has made such a great achievement, to receive a medal of honor and a promotion and salary increase.

But judging from Bailey's expression, this matter may not be that simple.

"Promotion...what do you mean?"

Li Qi looked at Bailey.

Bailey hesitated and said:

"According to my gossip, the superiors have a dispute about your future whereabouts. On the one hand, they think that you are strong and have won combat medals, so you should stay on the front line.

"On the other hand, they think that you are still young, and it is easy for the enemy to use you to make trouble on the battlefield, and they want to transfer you to the rear to do civilian work...

"In the former case, they will give you the rank of second lieutenant and the position of squadron leader. In the latter case... they will transfer you to the intelligence department with the rank of warrant officer... Li Qi, I personally hope that you can be transferred to the rear."

Bailey rarely became serious and said to Li Qi very seriously.

Although the Uno senior officials knew about Li Qi before, they didn't know him very well.

Or in other words, no senior officer would take the initiative to understand a squadron leader.

But this time, Li Qi killed the enemy's title ace and achieved such great military exploits, which completely entered the sight of the senior officers of the principality.

The senior officers then noticed that Li Qi was only a thirteen-year-old boy.

And he was not from a knight family.

This also caused disagreements among the superiors.

Most people think that it is too cruel to send an underage child to the front line, and whether Li Qi has made military achievements or died on the battlefield, it will make the Principality of Uno lose face.

Think about it, a child can achieve what other adults cannot achieve, and this is a civilian. Doesn't this make other people in the Principality of Uno too incompetent?

And if this child died on the battlefield, it would be even more incredible. Other countries would think that the Principality of Uno is too useless to send children to the battlefield.

In this era, the countries have not yet fought, and they still maintain superficial morality and norms.

Except for Uno and Falol, other countries have maintained the previous war principles.

That is, the nobles lead the team, fight each other symbolically, and finally talk about the interests of this war method.

Like Uno and Falol, they fought a real fire, and both sides had nobles died on the battlefield. This is the first time in hundreds of years.

Therefore, most of the nobles in the Principality of Uno still care about their face.

It doesn't matter what the bitches in the Kingdom of Farol think, but at least they can't embarrass themselves in front of other countries.

But everyone knows.

With the introduction of firearms, magicians and knights are becoming weaker and weaker, and the way of war will change accordingly. It is uncertain whether the previous rules can still be counted.

Therefore, some officers think that no matter whether it is embarrassing or not, as long as they can be used, they want to keep Li Qi on the front line.

This requires Li Qi to make his own decision.

Bailey revealed this to Li Qi in advance because she wanted Li Qi to transfer to the rear.

Although transferring to the rear will have a lower rank and much less power.

But Li Qi's age is here, and there is still a lot of room for promotion in the future. The rank of warrant officer and the rank of second lieutenant are not much different. There is no need to stay in such a dangerous place as the front line for a second lieutenant rank.

This is Bailey's idea.

Listening to what Bailey said, Li Qi thought for a moment:

"Don't worry, I will go to the rear."

"Really?! Brother Li Qi, you are so obedient--!"

When Bailey heard that Li Qi was going to the rear, she jumped up happily and was about to give Li Qi a "hug of love" again.

But soon she was kicked in the face by Li Qi's raised foot.

"Don't come close!! It has nothing to do with you if I am transferred to the rear!!"

Li Qi complained while trying to stop Bailey from getting close.

Bailey is from the medical department, and the front-line medical department. If Li Qi is transferred to the rear, he will definitely meet Bailey less and less in the future.

So why is Bailey so excited?

"Huh? Don't you know? Didn't Tonali tell you just now?"

Bailey asked in a muffled voice, holding Li Qi's bandaged foot.

Li Qi was stunned: "…what?"

"Falor announced a ceasefire, which was the notice issued today."

"Cease...war?"

"Yes, so the war is over, and I will be transferred to the rear later, and we will have plenty of time together in the future!"

Bai Li said excitedly, and finally bypassed Li Qi's feet and rushed towards Li Qi.

However, Li Qi quickly dodged and rushed to nothing.

Bai Li fell on the bed, and Li Qi looked out the window of the tent.

Sure enough, he saw that most of the soldiers outside were cleaning up the battlefield, as if they were going to withdraw.

This is indeed a sign of a ceasefire.

...

In fact, the sudden large-scale attack on the Min Front by Faror that day was a sign of a ceasefire.

I heard from Bai Li that day that the top leaders of the two countries would sign a ceasefire agreement, and the standard for the ceasefire was whether the Min Front was still in Uno's hands.

If the top leaders of Faror could take the Min Front before signing the ceasefire agreement, then this ceasefire agreement would be invalid, and other countries would participate in this war.

That's why they were so crazy about rushing into the defense line.

But they didn't expect that the elite team led by Crazy Axe was blocked outside the defense line by Li Qi alone.

This is how Li Qi's medal came about.

Otherwise, it would just be an ordinary offensive and defensive battle, and you would not be able to obtain the rare first-level Unicorn Medal.

After failing to capture the Mien defense line, the high-level leaders of both sides signed an armistice agreement. In the end, the soldiers of the Farore Kingdom had no choice but to retreat.

This was the cause and effect of the offensive and defensive battle that day.

"The war has ceased..."

Li Qi, who received the Unicorn Medal from his commander and chose to be transferred to the rear, looked at the sky and murmured.

He originally thought that the war would last for a long time, but he didn't expect that the war would be over just a year after he joined the army.

Even he, Li Qi, was the major contributor to ending the war.

Thinking of this, Li Qi felt a little unreal.

"But that's okay. I'll have time to study magic in the future."

Patting his cheek, Li Qi tried to wake himself up.

After choosing a rear-line position, Li Qi was ordered to first enter the Officers Academy for further study for two years.

After graduating from the academy in two years, his rank as warrant officer will be promoted to second lieutenant, and then he will be transferred to the Intelligence Bureau.

During this period, Li Qi had a lot of time to study the magic of this world, which was exactly what he had always expected.

"Squad captain!"

Li Qi was sitting on a box outside the camp in a daze when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Turning around, he saw Genero and Rick, who were also bandaged, walking side by side.

Rick was on crutches, and Genero's left hand was bandaged and hung on his chest. The two of them smiled and greeted Li Qi.

"You look like you're seriously injured too."

Li Qi looked at the injuries on their bodies and said with a chuckle.

Rick said with a smile:

"It's far behind compared to the squad leader."

"You guys, you want to practice more, right?"

Li Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Rick pretending to be unkind.

Rick's smile froze, and he immediately possessed the drama spirit and covered his legs and said:

"Ouch...my leg...my leg hurts!"

"Okay, stop acting in front of me."

Looking at the pretentious Rick speechlessly, Li Qi looked away from him and looked at Genero:

"After this war, you should have been promoted, right?"

"Yes, squad leader. I am now a sergeant and have the qualifications to form a separate squad. This guy was also promoted from a first-class private to a corporal and was transferred to the newly established Communications Department."

Genero patted Rick on the back.

This time, several people made great contributions, and everyone was promoted to one or two levels. If Li Qi wanted to stay on the front line, he would have to be promoted to three levels in a row.

"Communications Department?"

Li Qi looked up in surprise.

Rick immediately explained:

"I heard that the Scientific Research Department has developed some device that can use magic for long-distance communication, so we need to set up a communications department. I know some communication magic, so I was placed in it."

Rick was originally the communications soldier of Reacher's team.

Responsible for using magic to receive communications from superiors and convey orders to Li Qi.

It is quite suitable to be transferred to the Communications Department now.

Knowing the future whereabouts of his two men, Li Qi nodded slightly.

He jumped off the box, straightened his military cap, and then turned to face his two men:

"First of all, congratulations on your promotion."

"Anyway, squad leader, without you, we wouldn't be able to get such great credit."

Before Li Qi could finish speaking, Genero said directly.

If Li Qi had not led them to rush into the enemy army, they would not have achieved such great results.

And Li Qi can be regarded as saving them.

After all, if it weren't for Li Qi, the two of them, one of them without magic power and the other with only first-level magic power, would definitely die in the enemy's army.

So the two of them were very grateful to Li Qi.

Li Qi smiled when he heard this and said:

"That's what you did well, and I actually want to thank you. It was you who brought me back from the battlefield, right? Without you, I would have died on the battlefield, so I also want to thank you."

Li Qi said sincerely.

Genero and Rick smiled at each other and accepted Li Qi's thanks.

Li Qi then said seriously:

"Then... the war is over. From now on, we will go to our respective departments. This is probably the last time our team will meet on the battlefield, so... I declare that Team Li Qi is disbanded!"

Snap!

Li Qi gave a military salute to the two of them:

"May Uno's glory last forever!"

"May Uno's glory last forever!!" X2

With the two returning greetings and shouting loudly, Li Qi ended his last day on the front line.
