76Tue Southern Training Center (2)
next day.
Roman entered the Southern Training Center as scheduled..
It was a basic process required before being sent to the battlefield, and several nobles, including Roman, showed up leading their private soldiers..
The facial expressions of all the nobles were not good..
Not a single one of them enlisted voluntarily..
If his loyalty to his country had been that great, he would have headed to the Western Front, where help was really needed, rather than the expedient route to the Southern Front..
When the news started.
A person who appeared to be a commander stepped forward..
“I am Viscount Weil Frank, commander of the Southern Training Center. As everyone knows, the Southern Training Center is a place that teaches basic military training to soldiers deployed to the southern front. You will receive three weeks of training here, then be assigned to a reserve unit and spend the remainder of your service period..”
Basic training and reserve unit formation.
The process is the same for both the West and the South.
but.
While the troops in the South have never gone to the battlefield since being organized into reserve units, the troops in the West are virtually meaningless as reserve units due to battles that occur from time to time..
So the saying went around among the soldiers:.
It is said that a soldier who met his master well and went to the south comes back full of fat, but a soldier who leaves for the west cannot return in good health..
polar opposite.
I could tell just by looking at the atmosphere of the entrance ceremony..
Instead of feeling the solemnity of the battlefield, the nobles yawned as if they were bored with Viscount Bale's words..
“There is something to keep in mind while staying at the Southern Training Center. No matter what your status was before entering, here you are just soldiers performing military service. Anyone who violates the rules of the Southern Training Center and acts without permission will be sent to the Western Front as punishment..”
That was really funny..
The punishment is assignment to the Western Front..
The absurd fact was that the threat worked..
From the Southern Front to the Western Front.
It was an unpleasant thing for ordinary nobles to even imagine, so they seemed to focus a little on the news..
the speech was short.
Having said all he had to say, Viscount Bale dismissed his troops..
“Let everyone unpack at their assigned accommodation. Training-related schedules will be notified separately in the evening..”
admission.
From now on, I belong to the Southern Training Center..
Roman was about to move to his quarters like everyone else, when a soldier approached him and spoke quietly to him..
“The commander asks to see him separately..”
Viscount Vale.
Roman was not alone in thinking that he seemed to be making eye contact throughout the speech..
* * *
Upon entering the command room.
The first thing that greeted Roman was Viscount Bale's bright smile, which was not seen at the entrance ceremony..
“Welcome! The road to the south wasn't difficult.?”
“yes. There was no problem.”
“Let’s sit here for now..”
Grumbling.
Viscount Bale himself removed a chair..
It was an awkward kindness..
It was Roman's first time seeing Viscount Bale, but he acted as if they had been in an old relationship..
“Do you know how excited I was when I heard that you were being deployed to the Southern Front? Roman Dmitry, the youngest ranker in the Kingdom of Cairo! Kyaaa. I was so excited to hear the news that a sleeping dragon was born in Dmitri. Oops, coffee is okay?”
“yes.”
Viscount Vale hummed and made coffee..
Normally it was a soldier's job..
Nevertheless, he went ahead and made a cup of coffee for himself and Roman to drink..
The command room was soon filled with the sweet scent of coffee..
He took a sip of coffee, then put a cup of coffee down in front of Roman with a soft smile..
widely.
“Listen while drinking. Actually, the reason I called you aside is to ask about one thing. According to rumors, Marquis Benedict used his power to place you on the southern front. is that really true?”
The one-sided favor had a purpose..
As if it was no big deal.
Although Viscount Bale was drinking coffee calmly, his eyes were burning with desire as he looked at Roman..
I don't know what the question was intended to be, but.
Roman, who pursues neutrality, had no reason to hide it..
“yes. I didn't specifically ask for it, but I heard that Marquis Benedict did it..”
“okay?”
Viscount Bale's expression brightened..
In fact, he had confirmed the truth to some extent..
Still, he wanted to check for himself through Roman, and when he got the answer he wanted, he couldn't hide his joy..
“That's right. I will tell you my point straight and straight. I want to impress Marquis Benedict. The Southern Training Center isn't that bad, but it's nothing compared to the luxurious life in the central government. Therefore, Marquis Benedict cherishes you and will do his best to ensure that you have nothing to worry about during your time at the Southern Training Center. I don't mean to ask for much. Only one. Later, when I met Marquis Benedict, I heard that a man named Viscount Weil Frank provided convenience at the southern training center. All you have to do is say that.”
It was a fairly explicit statement..
beil frank.
Like Dmitry, he came from the outskirts and had a grand dream of entering the central government at some point..
however.
Until then, no matter how hard I tried, there was no way..
The Southern Training Center is a location that receives requests from numerous noble families, but Marquis Benedict was not in a position to be of that caliber..
the core of central government.
It was an area that Viscount Bale could not dare to enter, and he needed a cheat key to create a link with the central government..
as soon as.
A cheat like Roman Dmitry..
‘Marquis Benedict is putting a lot of effort into Roman Dmitry. If Dmitry swears loyalty to Marquis Benedict at some point, he will be able to lead me, with whom I had a relationship at the Southern Training Center, to the central government. This is an opportunity. A golden opportunity to enter the central government that does not come often..’
I had no intention of hiding my purpose..
this was a deal.
A one-word deal in exchange for a comfortable life at a southern training camp..
southern front.
It was a place where even the commander had rotted away..
Even though he was openly requesting illegal favors, Viscount Veil's face did not show the slightest emotion of shame..
‘It's fun.’
I smiled.
Marquis Benedict and Viscount Vale.
It wasn't something I would spend the rest of my life with..
But at least now that I was accepting their favor, there was no reason to refuse their offer..
Roman said.
“All right. I will not forget the courtesy of the Viscount..”
Just that much.
Roman kept the line and accepted the favor of the other person..
* * *
Roman leaves the command room.
I was about to go back to my accommodation, but on the way I saw a familiar face..
“You were here!”
It was Henry Albert..
The person who caused an uproar at the inn.
Unlike when he ran away in a hurry, Henry Albert spoke with a cheerful face..
“After I thought about it carefully, No matter how much I think about it, I don't think I did anything wrong enough to apologize to you. To put it bluntly, Dmitri is barely a baron from the outskirts. As the second son of the Albert family, I said I would use the inn, but he said no, so it made sense for him to rush in and fight.?”
last night.
Henry couldn't sleep all night..
I was so angry.
He grew up as a forbidden child in his family, but he could not accept the fact that he had been humiliated by someone from a baronial family..
It didn't matter that Roman was the youngest ranker.
From what I heard, the Dmitry family was a family of commoners and humble origins, and unlike himself, they could not be considered true nobles..
My stomach was boiling all night long..
I just waited for tomorrow.
I thought that if I entered the Southern Training Center, even Roman would not be able to treat me carelessly..
Roman’s calm reaction.
Henry got angry and pushed..
“You touched the wrong person. Do you know what family my mother originally came from? It's the Frank family. Now you know what mistake you made. That's right, Viscount Beil Frank, the commander of the Southern Training Center, is my maternal uncle! So apologize right now. If I tell you that I did something wrong in front of my soldiers, especially don't mention this to my uncle..”
background he believes.
Its identity was Viscount Bale..
Even though Roman Dmitry is the youngest ranker, he cannot ignore Commander Baek since he entered the Southern Training Center..
Henry Albert was proud.
Just this time.
I was confident that it was my victory..
however.
“so?”
“……huh?”
“What are you saying because your uncle is the commander of the southern training camp??”
“You, you, Sa, can’t you understand the situation? My uncle clearly said this during the admission ceremony. Anyone who breaks the rules of the entrance ceremony will be sent to the Western Front. That discipline doesn't just refer to a soldier's duties. These guys are just out of sight of their uncle. For example, guys like you are also included in that scope.!”
I was embarrassed.
What a confident reaction even after learning the identity of my uncle..
A little cold sweat trickled down my face..
Thinking that Roman might pull out his sword again, he took a step back..
“I guess you don't know what will happen if you go to the Western Front. Even if you are a 3-star aura swordsman, death only takes a moment. You, stay here and wait. I'll bring my uncle over, let's see if he's as confident then as he is now..”
Take one step back for two steps forward.
Until then.
Henry Albert firmly believed that his uncle would solve all his problems.
* * *
“uncle!”
Henry's appearance.
Viscount Bale smiled broadly..
“Hey, my nephew is here.?”
henry albert.
To the general public, he may have been trash, but to Viscount Bale, he was a lovely nephew who didn't hurt to look at him..
In particular, she looks just like Henry's mother, Viscount Vale's younger sister..
The brown hair and humorous appearance made Viscount Veil's eyes drip with honey as he looked at Henry..
“But why is my nephew so crying??”
behindhand.
I checked Henry’s expression..
In response to Viscount Vale's question, Henry expressed his sadness as if he had been waiting..
“uncle. What would my uncle do if my life was threatened by someone from a baronial family??”
“what?! Some motherfucker threatened you?”
Jump up.
Viscount Bale left his seat..
You are the bastard who threatened my beautiful niece..
There was no need to hear any more explanation..
With a red face, he took the sword sheath hanging on the wall and spoke to Henry as if urging him to do so..
“Guide that son of a bitch right now. How dare you touch my nephew at the southern training camp? This uncle, I will trample you for sure..”
“really?!”
Henry's expression brightened..
If my uncle steps forward in person.
This was a problem that was over..
Now that you have entered the Southern Training Center, isn’t the commander’s power absolute?.
I hurried my steps.
Thinking that Roman might have run away, Henry arrived at Roman's location before Viscount Vale..
“It's that guy.”
pointed at the other person with a finger.
Roman Dmitry.
The other person stupidly didn't run away.
Seeing that he was really waiting even though he was told to wait, Henry slightly curled the corner of his mouth with a triumphant look on his face..
Viscount Bale arrived late..
Moment.
His expression hardened..
I closed my eyes once and opened them.
I looked at Henry and Roman's faces alternately..
I wanted to deny the fact that the bastard's identity was Roman, but there was no one else besides Roman at the place we arrived..
and.
Henry's expression looks like he wants to be scolded right away..
Viscount Bale felt dizzy for a moment..
‘This crazy bastard is trying to block my path.’
Judgment was quick.
Before Henry spoke.
Viscount Bale's large palm slapped Henry's cheek..
Wow-!
cheerful sound.
Henry's energetic face suddenly turned around..
