Chapter 350 Post-war

The smoke of war has been temporarily extinguished, and the Star Fortress has also restored the tranquility of the past. However, this tranquility seems to be with a slight sadness.

"This time, we have captured a total of 1,540 horses and 805 sets of weapons and equipment..." Ted is reporting this time's record in the conference room.

Mikal: "Yeah, that's great, although it's a pity that we can't do it completely."

Grimio: "Cough."

Mikal fell silent knowingly.

Ted continued to report: "...213 people were killed and 547 injured in this battle..."

Although war will inevitably bring pain and death, every time I hear such a number, it is inevitable to feel sad.

As a military division, Sith always wants to use his intelligence to minimize the number of casualties.

The mood of Albert Baisis comforted and encouraged him: "SIS, this time, it's all up to your strategy to win this battle. Everyone will be happy for you."

Mikal: "Yes, yes, that fire is really great. Originally, asphalt is not the best fuel for arson, and we have so few of them. If it were me, I don't know how to use it. Now as soon as the fire comes out, the other party will immediately collapse. What a happy battle."

Black Bull can finally get through the addiction of war and shout in solidarity with Mikal.

"Thank you for your trust in me. In the future, I will continue to do a good job as a military officer." Sith is also the second time on the battlefield, so his mentality is also handled well.

Evan then began to host, "Well, now, let's first observe a moment of silence for the lost souls in this battle and thank them for everything they have dedicated to this great cause."

Whether it is our side or the enemy, it is necessary for Elvin to observe a moment of silence for the deceased.

After the silence, Agat began to speak: "Well, the battle is over, but the road ahead is still far away. Although you can no longer be called recruits, I believe you have also realized in this battle that your ability is far from enough!"

Everyone was silent, and no one was as naive as before the war. Everyone realized that their own strength was far from enough on the battlefield, which made so many companions hurt and die. Jack, in particular, has not recovered from the battle just now.

Agathe: "Is it silent? Recognize the cruelty of reality, right? Well, now that you have understood your shortcomings, you have to be psychologically prepared, because in the next few days, you will receive more rigorous training waiting for you.

There are not many complaints. As Agat said, they have realized the reality that war cannot be won by one person. Daily training is the basis for survival and victory.

Mikall just whispered: "Oh, this is really tragic. Looking back on the past, it's still the 'cowardly drunkard' Agat that makes people feel more cute. The current 'crimson epee' Agathe' is really like a different person. It's too horrible."

Agat slapped the table with his hand: "Whoever speaks secretly there, if you have a problem, just say it out loud!"

Mikal was shocked and said in a sweat: (Wow, it's so close that this guy's ears are so strong when he doesn't drink.)

Agathe: "Now that we have horses, as long as we plan the place, we can start horse riding training."

Black Forest, I dare not say anything else. The place here is so large that you will never worry about the inability to raise thousands of horses, and as long as there are enough manpower, you can open up a large flat land for horse riding training. The training of cavalry is absolutely necessary.

Agat also named: "Mikal and Ted, you two are also green dragon knights, and you are also responsible for training with me."

Ted took the order directly: "Yes, I will do my best to guide you."

Mikal whispered to himself, "It's terrible. Now you don't even have a chance to be lazy."

Agat: "Mikal, where's your answer!"

Mikal: "Ah, yes, yes, naturally, I'm going to make a part, woo-woo."

Aiwen: "Everyone has worked hard today. Let's put away their sadness and fatigue and enjoy a celebration banquet tonight."

When it comes to food, the black bull will be energetic. Although his body is covered with gauze, his hunger is more deadly than these pains: "Brother, it's okay if you don't say it. As soon as you say it, I remember that I haven't eaten one less today. I'm so hungry now. I'm going to eat it today. A wild boar is good."

The honest words of Black Bull made the whole audience laugh.

......

After the meeting, at the celebration banquet, everyone washed away the fatigue of the day, temporarily forgot the pain and sadness, and immersed in the sea of joy.

At one end of the banquet hall, some people did not go to the banquet. Jack still didn't recover from the daytime battle. He sat alone in the corner and looked up at the starry sky overhead.

"What's the matter? We have always been a confident and optimistic Jack gentleman. Why are we hiding here now and unhappy?" Meiling and Feiling came over.

Jack: "It turned out to be you. I'm unhappy. How can this be? I'm happy. I'm so happy that I just ate too much and digested here now."

"Okay, don't pretend to be confused in front of us. You are not good at lying at all." Meiling has completely figured out Jack's psychology at this moment.

Jack still tried his best to deny it: "No, I'm really fine."

Feiling also joined in to deal with Jack: "Ha ha, it turns out that you, a little boy, are awkward here. Just admit it honestly."

"What a little boy, I'm an upright man." That's the last thing Jack said.

Meiling: "A man will also have a tender side. In fact, we can understand your mood."

Jack: "You..."

Meiling: "In fact, it is not our long-standing wish to be able to stay away from the battlefield, live a comfortable and quiet life every day, and do what we like."

Jack calmed down, and then thought of a little question, so he asked, "...Actually, I have always wanted to ask you. In fact, you are not from our kingdom, so there is no need to participate in such a battle, but why are you willing to fight with us? Where's the fight?"

When the reason was mentioned, Meiling and Feiling both showed sad faces, as if they had touched their past sadness.

Meiling immediately cheered up again: "Well, for Jack's sake, I'll make an exception to tell you. Speaking of which, half of it is because this is Sister Lucia's decision, and we are willing to follow it together, but I also believe that this is actually Sister Lucia, who made such a decision for the other half of our reasons.

Jack: "Wait, who's half? I'm a little confused."

Feiling knocked on Jack's head: "Well, it's rare for people to tell the little secret in their hearts to boys. Just listen to it honestly and don't interrupt."

"Yes, I know." Jack touched his head awkwardly.

Meiling then slowly described their background: "As you said, we were born in the eastern country. Although we are an oriental country, we can't actually be said to be a country. That's because our country is actually a large island country with scarce land resources and the climate of the surrounding oceans is not suitable for growing food at all. Therefore, fishing has become the most basic and important way for our people to survive.

Jack is also a sea man. Of course, he knows that the eastern country is actually a country composed of countless islands, located on the distant and endless sea in the east of the kingdom continent. Because of the particularity of the region, people there live in poverty. Compared with the rich kingdom continent, people naturally migrate. The first choice, and the kingdom is not as hostile to the people of the Eastern kingdom as the Ishubars who invaded the kingdom in the past, and it is easier to accept each other.

However, there are still not many people in the kingdom in the Eastern Kingdom. That is because it takes half a year to take a boat at the far sea on both sides, and the sea voyage is dangerous. Under the sea, only a few people can cross the ocean to come to this kingdom.

Since it is so dangerous, why did Meiling Feiling and others venture to come to this kingdom? Jack really wants to know about the past.

Meiling continued to say, "However, in the face of the ruthless sea that will change at any time, how small human power will be. However, in order to survive, you must fight with the ocean, and you must have a strong body and strength. This can only be a man's business, and women are Creatures abandoned by the sea.

Jack is also a man who inherited the soul of the sea. He understands the fact that there are no women in the sea, and there are no women in the fleet of Edward and Hawke.

Meiling: "Women are discriminated against in the eastern country. Girls are a burden at home. What's more, we are two sisters born to be compatriots... At home, we are not loved by our parents, and even if we are abducted from the island country, I believe no one will cry for us."

Jack: "The crutch? What the hell is going on?"

Flying Bell knocked Jack's head again: "Don't shout so loudly! I told you to listen honestly.

Jack: "But, this, you..."

Meiling: "Yes, as slaves, we were abducted to this kingdom, and then we were favored by a traveling circus and bought it. Since then, we have lived a life of travel performance."

More than 20 years ago, during the reign of the fascist emperor, the slave trade was rampant. Shuna's mother and Chamcham were also one of the many victims at that time, which was incredible for Jack, who grew up under the care of his two uncles.

Meiling: "Our skills are also trained in this circus. No, we have to learn. If we want to live, we must do a more difficult action and skill to please the audience."

Jack: "But with your ability, why don't you choose to escape from this uncomfortable place?"

Meiling: "Leave...but where can we go? In the circus, although it is hard, it has won our own place to survive with our own efforts. At least, this can prove our existence.

Jack has a master and two uncles who love him, and there is nowhere to go. It is really hard for him to imagine.

Meiling began to become sad: "But even such days can't last long. The circus faced a financial crisis due to poor management. For this reason, the regimental commander decisively sold us secretly to the local nobles. In this way, we will become a caged bird and lose even a little self-worth. This time, we finally made up our mind to escape from such a cage. However, our plan was discovered, and we fell into the pursuit of the nobles. At this time, we met the most important person who changed our lives, Sister Lucia, and the members of the regiment, who saved us from the nobles, and then spent ten times more money to solve this dispute for me. Redemption. We are very grateful to Sister Lucia, not only because we finally got real freedom, but more importantly, it also gave us a really good destination and really found our home.

Jack: "So your past was like this."

Meiling: "In fact, the past is no longer important. What matters is the future. Sister Lucia's wish has always been to enable women all over the world to obtain equal respect. And this is the real reason why Sister Lucia and we will join you and join us in such a cruel war. We think that maybe you can really create such a world.

"This is the reason why you fight..."

Jack finally knows the reason and awareness of the battle between Meiling Feiling and the Bloody Rose Regiment, but what about his own awareness? At the beginning, he joined only because he wanted to see the legendary star hero, but for Jack, who is free by nature, what is he going to fight for?

Jack also wants to try to find a reason to fight side by side with everyone: "I also want to..."

Flying bell: "No, you can't mess up anymore."

Jack: "But..."

Meiling: "As everyone has said to you, you are not a person on the battlefield. If you change this kind of thing, it is up to us to do it, and you will take on more difficult responsibilities."

Jack: "My duty?"

Meiling: "Yes, this is what you should do, that is, guarding."

Jack: "Me? Guard?"

Flying: "Yes, yes, aren't you the 'flower protector'? You should continue to protect it."

Meiling: "If it is extremely difficult to change the world and must be a bleeding process, then it will be a more difficult responsibility to protect this changed world. Are you willing to shoulder such a responsibility?"

Jack agreed without hesitation: "Of course, yes, my duty as a 'flower protector' is to guard. This is my real pursuit. Don't worry, I understand the direction I will take in the future, and I will protect everyone well."

Meiling: "Is this the Jack we know?"

Flyingling: "Great, Jack is a little older, although he is still not so mature."

Jack: "You guys, give me a break."

"Hahaha..."

The conversation ended with laughter.
