As the current commander of the 13th Imperial Cavalry Corps, General Adric, the Imperial Major General, has naturally become the No. 1 thorn in the head of the Imperial Army.
And General Adric also has a special hobby: he likes to discover some special and strange talents in various places, and then recruit these "talents" he likes into the army, and take them with him as members of his immediate guard.
For example, the bald Kevin, who tried with Charab, was originally an ordinary cavalry commander in another cavalry unit a few years ago, with extraordinary skills and a great future.
When he was on a vacation, he met his comrades in the same team and a group of ruffians on the street, he went up to help without saying a word, and ran dozens of them alone, and chased each other to cut down two streets, and finally stabbed one to death by mistake, and was sentenced to death after being tried by the Judge Advocate General's Office.
This guy replied: That's my comrade-in-arms, I saw my comrades-in-arms being bullied, if you don't go up to help, then on the battlefield, can you still count on your comrades-in-arms to protect your back and block the sharp arrows that come for you Adric asked at the time: Then when you go up to help, don't first ask who is right and who is wrong on both sides The reaction of this stunned Qing Kevin was that he rolled his eyes directly: "Lao Tzu is not a judge" As a result, General Adric was overjoyed, and used his privilege to bring him into his own army and stuff him into the guard as a personal guard.
And when Char came to the garrison of the 13th Cavalry Corps, the second person he knew was Cato.
Cato was a tall, lanky man with light wheat skin, thin but still stocky.
There was always a sly glint in his eyes when he laughed, and usually such a person, if Char met him in Wildfire Town, he would definitely hide away from the people, either liars or smugglers.
Cato was also a member of General Adric's personal guard, and his martial skills were mediocre, and although he fought bravely, he was not outstanding in the 13th Cavalry Regiment, which was known for its bravery.
Cato's greatest thing is that this kid is very good at drilling, and he can always get around the corrupt rats in the Quartermaster Department and get a lot of forbidden goodies for the brethren.
For example, gin, rye spirits, which are forbidden in the army, fine tobacco produced by the Toku people, and caviar produced in the inland sea in the south The 13th Cavalry Regiment was disciplined in battle, but General Adric was not an unsympathetic commander, he was exceptionally good to his men, and when a battle was mobilized or a victory was celebrated, he would ask Cato to bring a large number of good things to comfort his brothers.
And Cato's encounter with the 13th Cavalry Corps is also legendary: he was a quartermaster in another unit of the original, known for being good at getting contraband, once a general asked him to get a woman to enter the barracks, when that army was fighting with nomads in the eastern frontier of the empire, in the vast desert, this guy didn't know what to think, but he was actually in a group of convoys escorting military supplies really stuffed into a general's tent.
But as a result, this matter was known to the Judge Advocate General, and the general naturally fell into bad luck, and the manager Cato was also severely punished and almost lost his life.
As a result, he was brought under the command of General Adric, who likes to collect "talents".
When Char followed Kevin to the garrison of the 13th Cavalry Corps, Kevin threw him directly to Cato: "Cato get this kid a piece of equipment." ” Cato leaned in with a mouse's eyebrow, sniffed Char's body with his big hooked nose, and grinned, "I smell a rookie."
Well, rookie, from today onwards you are our brother what do you ask for, just tell me, what do you want, ham, meat, tobacco" Such words made Char speechless, but Kevin frowned, and said in an impatient tone: "Cato, don't waste time, the general is waiting to see him." ” With that, the guy hurried away.
Looking at Kevin's distant back, Char hadn't spoken yet, Cato had already leaned over and touched Char's shoulder, looking very affectionate: "Don't pay attention to this guy, he is just a stunned guy, in fact, he is a very good guy, you will know it after a long time." ” After a pause, Cato suddenly turned his face to look at the horse that Char had brought in.
This horse was snatched by Char from the Night Royal Forest last time, and he has been keeping it behind his mountain, and this time he came out and picked the most majestic black horse at random.
Cato looked at the horse, his eyes immediately lit up, his eyes showed a professional taste of scrutiny, he looked carefully for a while, and then looked at Char: "This is your own horse you brought" He pinched his chin, and smiled with a sly smile: "I said brother, you don't seem to be simple, this is clearly a first-class military horse, strictly trained, and there are imprints on the horse's legs."
Xia Ya was suddenly a little nervous, and secretly hated himself for being careless after all, this horse was captured by himself, in case of an incident Cato saw Char's nervousness, laughed, and then lowered his voice and said: "Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter if this horse is stolen and robbed, we here, especially the people in the general's personal guard, everyone is not a good thing, hahaha" It's not a good thing, do you have such an evaluation of your own people?
As he spoke, Cato had already bent down and grabbed a handful of mud from the ground, smeared it on the brand behind the horse's leg, covered the brand with mud, and said with a smile: "I'll find a knife when I go back, scrape off the skin of the brand, and put some medicine, and your horse will be dead in two days at most."
But you remember, if someone asks, you won't admit it, hum, the people of our corps, who dares to do anything to you" in his tone, full of arrogance.
This guy took Char very quickly to get two sets of military uniforms and a set of armor weapons.
Char, who received the equipment, was a little excited.
A double-edged sword in the hand, cross-shaped, the dark sword body feels cold to the touch, and the blade flashes with cold light, although it is only the standard weapon of the army, but the excellent steel blade and excellent forging technology are worthy of the equipment of the ace elite army of the Byzantine Empire Char excitedly put his palm on the blade of the sword, as if he was being cared for by a lover.
Such a good sword is worth it in Wildfire Town This is the best weapon Char has ever used Hmph, that fire fork doesn't count, it's just a fire fork There is also an oval-shaped shield, the shield is covered with a layer of leather, and a line of graphic text is depicted on the shield surface in Byzantine Imperial Chinese, Char carefully identified it: "Rodria forward, or die" Char sighed, thinking back to what Kevin had told him about the glorious history of this army, and sure enough, such glory had penetrated deeply into every part of this army.
Because of Char's tall physique, he received a large suit of armor.
This is a set of light armor, composed of thick leather and iron sheets, with three pieces of iron armor on the shoulders and chest, and the craftsmanship is very good, and it seems that Char's eyes are very well forged.
His uniform was typical of Byzantine military uniforms, a short-sleeved robe lined with felt and leather, very tight, thick breeches, taut leggings that pinned the calves very thin, and a pair of leather boots with thorns hanging on the inside, making a spirited owl sound when walking.
"You are only a guard now, and the guards don't need to wear heavy cavalry armor, unless there is a combat mission, they will issue us cavalry equipment, which are all good things, four-meter-long cavalry spears, and half-human-high oval giant shields, haha, with your physique, you should be able to move."
Cato grinned, seemed very affectionate to Char, and finally quietly stuffed a small bottle in Char's palm, which was a bottle of wine, made from sweet potatoes, and the taste was not necessarily good, but it was a contraband in the army.
Cato winked at Char, his eyes flashing with friendliness, and chuckled in a low voice, "Don't be quiet, every new brother will get a gift, it's a tradition of our personal guards.
Enjoy it at night while hiding in the tent, noob."
This move quickly won Char's favor, and he began to like the place.
Moreover, the people in this pro-guard team also have a good appetite for themselves, whether it is this friendly Cato or the stunned but very upright Kevin, they all seem to be good people.
It's just that, listening to Cato, the people in this pro-guard team are not "good things", such an evaluation Well, is it good or bad for Char to join such a team?
