Chapter 56 [Not a good thing, friendly]

As the current commander of the 13th Cavalry Corps of the Empire and the Imperial Major General Adrick, he naturally became the most troublesome thorny figure in the Imperial** unit.

General Adrick also has a special hobby: he likes to discover some special and strange talents everywhere, and then recruit these "talents" he likes into the army and take them by his side as members of his direct guard.

For example, the bald Kevin, who had been vying with Shaya, was originally an ordinary cavalry captain in another cavalry unit a few years ago. He had extraordinary skills and a long-term prospect. When he was on vacation, he met his comrades in the same team and a group of gangsters on the street. Without saying a word, he went up to help, knocked dozens of them away, chased the other party for two streets, and finally stabbed one to death. After being tried by the Military Law Department, General Adrick happened to be in charge of doing things in the Military Law Department. He was curious and asked about this matter, asking why Kevin had to do it at that time. It was obviously nothing to do with him.

This guy replied: That's my comrade! I saw that my comrades were bullied. If I didn't go up to help, then on the battlefield, can I still expect comrades to protect your back and block the sharp arrows shot in order to you?

Adrick asked at that time: Then when you go up to help, don’t you ask who is right and who is wrong first?

The reaction of this naughty green Kevin was that he rolled his eyes directly: "I'm not a judge!"

As a result, General Adrick was very happy and used his privilege to take him into his army and stuffed him into the guards as his personal guard.

When Chara came to the garrison of the Thirteenth Cavalry Corps, the second person he knew was Kato.

Kato is a tall and thin man with light wheat skin. Although thin, he is still very strong. When he smiles, he always has a cunning light in his eyes. Usually, such a person will hide away if he meets him in Wildfire Town - such a person is either a liar or a smuggler.

Kato was also a soldier in General Adrick's personal guard. His martial arts were average. Although he was brave in combat, he was not outstanding in the Thirteenth Cavalry Corps, which was famous for his bravery. Kato's most powerful thing was: this kid was very good at camping. He could always bypass the corrupt rats in the military supplies and get a lot of banned good things for his brothers.

For example, gin, rye spirits prohibited in the army, high-quality tobacco produced by the Tokutu people, and caviar produced in the southern Inland Sea...

The Thirteenth Cavalry Corps had strict military disciplines, but General Adrick was not an inhuman commander. He was particularly good to his subordinates. When mobilizing a battle or celebrating victory, he would ask Kato to bring a large number of good things to comfort his brothers.

The encounter between Kato and the Thirteenth Cavalry Corps was also legendary: his original unit was a quarconian, famous for his good at getting contraband. Once a general asked him to get a woman into the military camp. At that time, the army was fighting against nomads in the eastern border of the empire. In the vast desert, this guy didn't know what method he had thought of, but he actually stuffed a prostitute into the general's tent in a convoy of escorting military supplies.

But the military law department found out about this matter, and the general was naturally in trouble, and the person in charge, Kato, was severely punished and almost lost his life. As a result, General Adrick, who likes to collect "talents", was brought under his command.

When Shaya followed Kevin to the base of the Thirteenth Cavalry Corps, Kevin threw him directly to Kato: "Cato! Get this kid's equipment."

Kato leaned over with his eyes and sniffed on Chara's body with his big hook nose, grinned and said, "I smelled a rookie. Well, novices, you are our brother from today! If you have any requirements, what do you want? Ham meat? Tobacco?"

This made Xia Ya speechless. Kevin frowned and said in an impatient tone: "Cato, don't waste time, General is waiting to see him."

After saying that, the guy left in a hurry.

Looking at Kevin's back as he left, before Shaya could speak, Kato had already come up and touched Shaya's shoulder, looking very intimate: "Don't pay attention to this guy, he's just a naughty guy, actually a very good guy, you'll know it over time."

After a pause, Kato suddenly turned his face and looked at the horse that Xia brought.

This horse was last time Chara took it from the Dark Night King's Gate and kept it behind his mountain. This time he came out and picked the most majestic dark horse at will.

When Kato looked at the horse, his eyes immediately shone with a professional scent in his eyes. After looking carefully, he looked at Xia Ya again: "Is this your horse you brought?" He pinched his chin and smiled with a weird face: "I said, brother, you don't seem to be simple either... This is clearly a top-notch military horse, which has been strictly trained, and there are still marks on the horse's legs!"

Xia Ya suddenly became a little nervous and secretly hated her for being careless in her heart - after all, this horse was taken by her own murder, if the incident happened...

Kato saw Xia's nervousness, laughed, and lowered his voice: "Don't be nervous, even if this horse was stolen, it doesn't matter. We here, especially those in the general's personal guards, are not good things, hahaha!"

They are not good things... Is there anyone who evaluates their own people like this?

As he said that, Kato had bent down and grabbed a handful of mud from the ground, put a touch of the mark behind the horse's legs, pasted the mark with mud, and smiled and said, "Let me look for a knife, scrape off the mark's skin, and apply some medicine. Your horse will slam and jump around for two days at most. But remember, if someone asks, you will never admit it! Humph, who in our corps dares to do what you do!" In his tone, he was full of arrogance.

This guy took Xia Ya very quickly to collect two sets of military uniforms and a set of armor and weapons.

Xia Ya, who received the equipment, was a little excited.

A double-edged sword received in his hand, with a cross shape, and the dark sword body feels cold to the touch, and a cold light flashes on the blade. Although it is just a standard weapon for the army, the best steel blade and excellent forging technology are worthy of being the equipment of the Byzantine Empire's elite army!

Xia Ya excitedly stroked the sword tip carefully with her palm, just like the care of her lover.

Such a good sword is worth in Wildfire Town...

This is the best weapon Charia has ever used!

Humph! That fire fork doesn't count, it just fire fork...

There is also an oval shield, which is covered with a layer of leather in the inner layer, and a line of graphic characters is depicted in Byzantine Empire. Xia Ya carefully identified it:

"Rodrea! Go forward, or die!"

Xia Ya sighed and recalled the glorious history of this army that Kevin told him - indeed, such glory has penetrated deeply into every part of this army.

Because of Xia Ya's tall physique, he received a large armor. This is a set of light armor, composed of thick leather and iron sheets. The shoulder pads and chest are three pieces of iron armor. The craftsmanship is very exquisite and forged from Xia Ya's perspective.

His uniform is a typical Byzantine military uniform, a short-sleeved robe lined with felt and leather, very tight, thick breeches, and tight leggings tied the calf very thinly. A pair of leather boots, with thorns hanging on the inside of the leather boots, making it a singing sound when walking.

"You are just a guard now. The personal guard does not need heavy cavalry armor. Unless there is a combat mission, we will be distributed to cavalry equipment - those are all good things! A four-meter-long cavalry rifle and a half-man-high oval giant shield. Haha! I believe you can move with your physique." Kato laughed and looked very intimate with Xia Ya. Finally, he quietly stuffed a small bottle into Xia Ya's palm - this is a bottle of wine, brewed with sweet potatoes. The taste may not be very good, but it is a contraband in the army.

Kato blinked at Chara, his eyes flashed with kindness, and he laughed in a low voice: "Don't say anything, every new brother will get a gift, this is our customary guard tradition. Enjoy it when hiding in the tent at night, rookie!"

This move quickly won the favor of Shaya, and he began to fall in love with this place.

Moreover, the people in this personal guard are quite fond of themselves. Whether it is this friendly Kato or the stupid but honest Kevin, they all seem to be a good person.

But, I heard from Kato that the people in this personal guard are not "good things". Is this kind of evaluation...

Well, is it good or bad for Shaya to join such a team?
