Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 422 The Boring Spectator

Corporal Finn stooped into the Central Army's medical center, walked unhurriedly under the huge white tent, and carefully avoided the bandages and sackcloths hanging around that smelled like herbal water.

The atmosphere in the medical tent was relatively relaxed. Most of the wounded were sitting on the hospital bed, making jokes with the unlucky fellow next to them. Occasionally, some literary youths were leaning on the cushions and reading.

It is not a time of war, and most of the wounded living in this medical tent were slightly injured during training, which is nothing serious—if it was changed two months ago when the battle situation was critical, this place could be regarded as a It's a hell on earth where ghosts cry and wolves howl.

Because the medical tasks are not heavy, the military doctors and nurses walking between the beds seem to be in a happy mood.

Corporal Finn marched all the way to the depths of the tent, and along the way, many nurses gave him winking looks:

When he was in the hometown of the imperial capital, Finn hooked up with many young girls because of his handsome appearance; and after he joined the army, his neat military uniform and the mature temperament brought to a man by war made him even more popular in the Central Army. Those suffocated nurses are a big hit.

Corporal Finn didn't have time to flirt with these little nurses today, though.

While secretly praying that the beds in the medical tent would not be changed, he turned left and right according to the path in his memory, and finally, in the deepest part of the tent, he saw the target of his visit—a person lying on a hospital bed in pain. Severely wounded grunting.

"Good morning, Captain Greenspan." Corporal Finn stood in front of the man's bed, gave a military salute, and then put the flower basket in his hand on the bedside, "Sergeant Ali asked me to bring it to you. It is said that White calendula can promote recovery from injuries.”

Captain Greenspan on the bed muttered a curse.

Finn knew Captain Greenspan's temper, smiled slightly, and stood by the latter's bed and took a closer look:
Captain Greenspan's injury has improved visibly:
Most of the bandages that had been tightly wrapped around his body had been removed now, and the lumps on his head and face had also dissipated a little, so that the face of the Central Army captain finally became less unfamiliar.Captain Greenspan's exposed body surface is still covered with large bruises, but it doesn't seem to be a big problem. Only the plaster on his legs and arms shows that the fractures in his body still need to be well healed.

Seeing Captain Greenspan's recovery speed, even Finn had to marvel at the "exquisite skills" of the Frost Maple Ridge thugs - Captain Greenspan was beaten for more than an hour at that time, I was almost beaten out of my mind...

But after a few days, no scars were left on his body surface. Not only was his life safe in the end, but everything was about to return to normal!

——Only the top k-person masters can master the strength of their fists so superbly!
"Captain Greenspan, don't worry, I think you will recover soon." Corporal Finn stood at the side of the sick bed and comforted him, "Our brothers from the [-]rd Company of the [-]th Brigade are waiting for you return!"

Captain Greenspan muttered something vaguely.

Although the Frost Maple Ridge thug's sadistic behavior did not cause any serious physical damage, he firmly knocked out a mouthful of his old teeth-the current Captain Greenspan should only speak with the Supreme Holy Spirit. Can understand.

"However, you did recover quickly enough." Corporal Finn smiled, "I heard from the military doctor over there that it was thanks to the herbal medicine sent by the troll doctor in Frost Maple Ridge that your injury can heal so smoothly... ..."

Upon hearing the name "Frost Maple Ridge", Captain Greenspan trembled all over on the hospital bed, and an incomprehensible imperial curse burst out of his mouth.

Finn knew that he had mentioned something that shouldn't be mentioned, so he quickly changed the subject and said:
"In short, you can rest in peace and recuperate, and don't be afraid of Commander Grant... Commander Grant was indeed very angry at the time, and he also said that he would cut off your head, but after a while of persuasion, the commander let go—— Commander Grant has always defended his weaknesses, and you know it yourself, and in the end, at most, you will be punished..."

Captain Greenspan's eyes were a little sad.

However, his face was still swollen like a pig's head, which reflected Ya's expression very happily.

"Captain, the doctor said that your injury is recovering quickly now, and you can go outside in a wheelchair to get some air." Finn folded his arms and gently persuaded Captain Greenspan, "It will be difficult to stay in the medical tent all the time. It affects your mood, and it is not conducive to recovery... Shall I push you out for a walk?"

Captain Greenspan on the bed grumbled angrily, which Finn could barely make out, roughly meaning "don't".

Finn thought for a while, shook his head and said:
"No, Captain Greenspan, it's good for you to go out and get some air. It's all right, I'll push you, as long as you sit in the wheelchair."

He looked around and finally found a wooden wheelchair in the corner of the tent.

Finn stepped forward and pulled the wheelchair out from the corner. After testing whether the wheels could rotate normally, he pushed the wheelchair to Captain Greenspan's bedside.He reached out and picked up Captain Greenspan on the bed, and carefully put the captain on the wheelchair.

At first, Captain Greenspan made a few angry protests, but after realizing that it was useless, he had to keep silent and let his good subordinate Finn push his wheelchair all the way out of the tent.

It was around eleven o'clock in the morning, and the sun was strong.Captain Greenspan, who had been recuperating in the medical tent for a long time, was not used to the glare of the light, so he narrowed his eyes and shouted something.

"Come on, Captain Greenspan, let me take you for a walk in the barracks—you haven't seen the sun in Burning Crystal Canyon for almost a week!" Finn said with a smile, and then pushed the wheelchair forward.

The tent of the medical center is located in the center of the Imperial Central Army camp, not far from the tent is a school field.At this time, many soldiers were lining up for drills on the school grounds, and the military boots uniformly distributed by the Imperial Army set off billows of smoke and dust on the yellow ground of the school grounds.

"It's too noisy here, let's go west, Captain Greenspan." Finn listened to the noise on the school grounds, pondered for a moment, and said.

Then, he pushed Captain Greenspan to turn around and head northwest of the camp.

Captain Greenspan muttered something irritatedly, but of course Finn couldn't understand him at all.

The superior and subordinate of the Third Company of the Sixth Brigade of the Imperial Central Army walked slowly, one in a wheelchair, and shuttled between large and small camps.From time to time, there are people who know Captain Greenspan, and when they see them, they will greet them with a smile—of course, most of them are joking and mocking Captain Greenspan’s tragic experience. It can be seen.

Compared with Captain Greenspan, who was a little restless in the wheelchair, Corporal Finn, who was in charge of pushing the wheelchair to take the captain to relax, was in a much happier mood: he pushed the wheelchair with his hands, humming cheerful ditties of the imperial capital, as if he was not on the front line He is not a soldier, but a libertine who goes out for an outing.

The two of them walked slowly in the melody of the minor tune of the imperial capital, and they stopped only when they reached the northwest edge of the Central Army camp.

The imperial army camp behind the civil fort is divided into the eastern army camp in the north and the central military camp in the south. Between the two camps, there is a "civilian" that leads directly to the civil castle and is usually used to transport grain and grass materials to the castle. Avenue".

Now, standing on the northwest border of the Central Army camp, as long as Finn and Captain Greenspan looked north, they could see the Eastern Army's Blood Rose flag waving in the wind across the civil road in the camp on the opposite side. , the Wang Guanjun flag of the Central Army echoed each other.

The veterans of the Central Army have always dismissed Rosario and the Eastern Army. Captain Greenspan in the wheelchair is not ashamed of this glorious tradition. Even when he looked at the rose flag from a distance, he did not forget to mutter Curse the last sentence.

But soon, the eyes of the two were attracted by something else:

On the usual civil engineering road, although there are occasional vehicles and patrol soldiers passing by, it is still relatively quiet;

However, at noon on this day, the road leading to the Central Plains of the Empire was noisy.

Finn supported Captain Greenspan's wheelchair and looked as far as the eye could see. There was a large group of people gathering at the west end of the road, like a swarm of flies seeing a dung pile.Above the heads of the group of people, there are various family coat of arms flags lifted in the air by long wooden poles. Against the clear blue sky, they are really beautiful.

"Ah!" Finn suddenly realized, "Captain Greenspan, the military exercise observation group from the imperial capital has arrived! Look at those flags, so many families in our empire have sent representatives over this time!"

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then blinked and said:

"Captain Greenspan, let's go, let's go see the excitement!"

Captain Greenspan in the wheelchair obviously had no interest in watching the excitement—however, he couldn’t move, he couldn’t even speak the common language of the Empire, and he was powerless to raise objections. He could only let Finn push himself, all the way to the west side of the avenue The large group of people approached.

As the wheelchair approached, even Captain Greenspan, whose eyes were a little damaged, could gradually see the appearance of this "Military Exercise Observing Envoys":
Among the lineup of the envoys from the imperial capital, the most eye-catching ones are not the envoys sent by the major families and the imperial family, but the knights who are responsible for the guards of these noble grandfathers—

On both sides of the envoy team, surrounded by many knights in silver heavy armor and silver helmets.

The shiny tasseled spears on the helmets of these knights and the gorgeous tassels on their plate armor all show that these shiny armors can not only be used in actual combat, but also the ritual armor required for imperial knights to attend formal occasions; The family crest and coat of arms worn by the former marked which prominent family of the empire they belonged to.

After all, the front line of the Burning Crystal Canyon is the front line of the battle between the two countries. Of course, the major families of the empire dare not just send their envoys to the front line. Knight of the Order.

Finn and Captain Greenspan looked at these imperial knights from a distance, feeling a little sour in their hearts.

Due to some historical reasons, the regular army soldiers and knights of the empire are actually two distinct military systems:

In the early days of the empire, the lords of various places still had a lot of military power, and most of them kept a large number of private troops;
The honored knights are high-level combat forces who swear allegiance to these noble lords and are responsible for commanding the family's private army.

However, times have changed. Since the introduction of the "Crown Act", the authority of noble lords has been continuously weakened. The imperial family has also brought a considerable part of the military power to the central government, and formally formed the regular imperial army supported by the five major legions.Since the regular army had nothing to do with the aristocratic system of the empire, the ancient position of "knight" did not exist in it.

——Even Grim Rosario, who is also the commander of the Eastern Army with the title of Grand Duke of Rose City, his "Rose Knights" belong to the Rosario family and do not belong to the Eastern Army's battle order.

It stands to reason that the regular army is the regular army, and the private army of the nobles is the private army of the nobles. The two sets of military systems do not interfere with each other, and there is no such thing as higher or lower;

However, in the tradition of the human empire, the title of "nobility" is too famous, and it even raises the value of the knights who are regarded as "half-noble nobles". It's nothing, but if he can be awarded the title of knight, it will be a great joyous event for the ancestral grave of Guangyao's lintel!

It was also because of this mentality that Corporal Finn and Captain Greenspan, two soldiers who had been in the regular army for many years, looked at those knights in silver armor with unconcealed envy.

When the formation of the knights spread out a little, they reluctantly moved their eyes away and looked at the noble envoys who were guarded by the knights.

The grandeur of this military exercise was built by the empire, and the aristocratic envoys who came to watch the ceremony were all dressed in brocade clothes and solemn and solemn.Judging by clothing alone, Finn could count several earls, and countless baron viscounts.

Of course, many big families did not invite their own patriarchs to be present in person, but let the juniors or high-level members of the family act as representatives-after all, the Burning Crystal Canyon is the front line of the war, and the feelings of the imperial nobles who are greedy for life and fear of death are completely understandable.

On the side of the imperial regular army, it was several high-ranking officers from the Central Army and the Eastern Army who were in charge of welcoming the envoys.

Finn set up the awning with his hands, and saw from a distance that several welcoming officers had already bowed to the leaders of the envoys, and they were standing in the middle of the civil avenue, talking nonsense.

"Hey! Finn! What are you looking at!" a voice suddenly came from behind.

Corporal Finn hurriedly turned his head, and found that the voices were a few junior officers of the Central Army that he knew well on weekdays: at this moment, this group of officers was standing behind a dirt slope beside the civil road, looking at the envoy In the direction of the regiment, he waved towards Finn——

——Not to mention, they also sneaked out from the barracks to watch the excitement.

Finding that there were other "spectators" present, Finn was overjoyed, pushed Captain Greenspan forward quickly, and got together with this group of idlers.

In the past, this group of gangsters would definitely comment on Captain Greenspan's injury and sneer at it, but today, all their interest is in the envoys who have just arrived to observe the ceremony.

Before Finn approached, a Central Army sergeant hurriedly asked:

"Hey! Finn! Finn! Are you good eyesight? Can you see the leader of the embassy well?"

The leader?Finn froze for a moment, squinted his eyes and looked around, then shook his head:
"Is it the one talking to the deputy commander of Böhm-Bawerk? I can't see clearly... What's wrong?"

"According to gossip, the leader of the envoys this time is the new Prime Minister of our empire! Prime Minister!" The Central Army sergeant hurriedly said, "I have never seen a prime minister in my life!"

The prime minister personally led the team to the front line? !Finn was speechless secretly, and stretched his neck to look in the direction of the envoys.

On the other hand, another non-commissioned officer on the side reprimanded his companion for his shallow knowledge:

"Come on, a prime minister is worth your fuss! Do you know how many prime ministers the empire has changed in the past two years? Let me tell you, let's find the countess of the stigmata as soon as possible..."

"The Countess of Stigmata?" Finn blinked, "Who is that?"

"The Countess of the Stigmata, Isa Sandria! According to the public evaluation of the imperial capital, she is the third most beautiful woman among the noble women of the major families, and her beauty is second only to Princess Miranda and Marquise Kemal!" The sergeant of the Central Army made an exaggerated gesture, "This time, Countess Sandria is also in the viewing group - I have heard rumors about her all the time, maybe I have the opportunity to see this stigmata in person today What kind of person is the Countess!"

"So what if I see it?" Another non-commissioned officer snorted, "Countess Sandria is the fiancee of Duke Elliott Igor - she took the initiative to serve as the deputy head of the mission to the front line this time, it is obvious It's my husband who ran over to find my husband..."

Upon hearing the name "Eliot Igor", Captain Greenspan in the wheelchair uttered an indignant roar again.

The other Central Army officers turned their heads inexplicably and stared at the wounded man who was making noise for no reason.

"Uh... Captain Greenspan must have been involved in the wound suddenly, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..." Finn hurriedly laughed.

The Central Army sergeant rolled his eyes, didn't bother to talk to Captain Greenspan, and murmured:

"Speaking of Lord Elliott, Duke Igor... According to my friends in the Eastern Army, the Duke of Frost Maple Ridge has been in the camp lately, even the Igor family themselves The soldiers usually can't find him, it looks like he is hiding from someone..."

"He can't be hiding from his fiancée!" The officers watching the fun laughed.
