Egerhar corridor, Hiran army camp, coach camp.

　　 "El, you are here."

　　 Dominic, with an expression of no sadness or joy, raised his eyes and looked towards the big tent.

　　 A young man lifted the curtain of the big tent just now and entered the coach’s camp—that is, Dominica’s camp.

　　 After receiving Dominic’s summons, it was El who rushed from Mukhavitz fortress non-stop.

　　 "Teacher, it's been a long time. I'm relieved to see that you are still in such a good state."

"Yeah. El, did you meet Gabriel at the wounded camp? I always wanted to visit him, but there were so many things every day, and it was too busy to visit Gabriel. Can't come out..."

"I just dropped by to the wounded barracks. Gabriel is in good condition, his left arm and ribs are almost healed, but... he still receives his Winter War equipment, so he has every day. He could only hide in the camp and shiver in the quilt. Fortunately, his physique was much better than ordinary people, so he did not suffer from frostbite or cold after being frozen for so many days."

　　 "Really... Gabriel's condition is okay, then I'm relieved."

　　 After that, Dominic pointed to a chair in front of him.

　　 "Sit down, El. Now there are only you and me. You don't need to be so restrained."

　　 "Yes."

　　 After El was seated in front of him, Dominic said suddenly and earnestly:

　　 "El, how old are you this year?"

　　 "Me? I am 21 years old this year."

　　 "You are already 21 years old... Then so to speak-Gabriel is 23 years old this year, and Camille is 19 years old."

"um, yes."

　　 "Time is so fast. The years of time passed all at once. The scene of adopting the three of you in a slum on the outskirts of the imperial capital six years ago is still vivid in my mind."

"Yes, it is indeed very fast." El his red eyes showed the color of memory. "Six years ago, I, Gabriel, Camille-the three of us were just slums on the outskirts of the imperial capital. The orphan of, I did not expect to be adopted by the teacher and you, and become the teacher and your student.

　　 "Although the three of you are my students in name, they are actually no different from my adopted son and adopted daughter." A kind smile gradually appeared on Dominic's face.

"When you adopted the three of you, there was not much reason. It was just that the three of you were different from the other self-willing people in the slum. They thought that the three of you should not stay in a place like the slum, so you Three received from the house. Raise you three as a teacher."

　　 "In the beginning, I never intended to make the three of you amazing people. I only hope that the three of you can grow up safely and normally."

　　 "Until that day-El, you walked into my study."

　　 Hearing this, El’s face gradually showed a helpless smile.

　　 "At that time, a duke in the southern part of the Holy Hiran Empire raised the flag of rebellion."

　　 "This rebellious duke has good abilities. Relying on the territory he has managed for several generations and his own military talents, he has repelled several waves of rebels."

"I happened to be staying in the imperial capital's home on vacation. In order to put down this duke's rebellion as soon as possible, Your Majesty sent the frontline combat plan to my home, hoping that I would draw up a combat plan that could break through the duke's heavy defenses. "

　　 "The Duke is very capable, and even I can't think of a good offensive strategy for the line of defense he laid out."

　　 "Just as I was in my study, looking at the Duke's defense line map and thinking hard, you came into my study by mistake."

　　 "You just took a look at this defense line map, you can see where the breakthrough point of the entire defense line is, and tell me."

　　 "Only when you wake up, I can draw up a battle plan that can break through the Duke's defense line."

　　 "Finally, this duke's rebellion was successfully put down."

　　 "Until now, people think that the biggest hero in this battle is me, because I have drawn up the battle plan for breaking through the line of defense."

　　 "But I know very well-you should be the biggest hero in this battle. If you don't wake up, I might not see the breakthrough point of this line of defense for a lifetime."

　　 "The moment I was awakened by your enlightenment, I decided-I adopted an amazing child in the slum."

　　 "Before this, I always thought that among the three of you, the most powerful and worthy of training and attention is Camille."

　　 "But from that moment, I finally realized that the most powerful of the three of you, the most worthy of my attention and training, should be you El!"

　　 "You and Camille are two extremes."

　　 "Camille has extremely high intelligence and political talent, while you El has extremely high military talent! You are a natural commander!"

　　 "However...Although you are both a super talented child like Camille, you don't have the self-motivated spirit of Camille..."

　　 "Camille has always had the ambition of Gaudzig tongue, in order to be able to show his fists and ambitions in the future, has been reading and learning."

　　 "But you don't have any ambitions, or even dreams."

　　 "I have asked you more than once what your dream is, but you all answered me: You want to spend your life leisurely and plainly."

　　 Hearing this, El couldn't help but chuckled awkwardly.

　　 "I have always advised you to join the army, I hope you can make your talent shine in the army in the future."

　　 "But you never listen to me."

　　 "Having finally waited until you said ‘I’m willing to join the army’, but in the end you became a quartermaster instead of a general."

　　 "I think I still prefer the quartermaster's life to the generals..." El added in a small voice at this time.

　　 Dominic ignored El’s little whispered addition, but continued:

　　 "If you really don't want to be a general, it's okay to be an excellent quartermaster and become a superior quartermaster in the future~lightnovelpub.net~ But after you became a quartermaster, you have been messing around!"

　　El let out a few awkward chuckles again.

　　 "Obviously with your abilities and talents, if you work hard and earnestly, you should have become a first-class quartermaster by now, and as a result, you are still in the third-class quartermaster class!"

　　 "Don't think I don't know, you did it on purpose! Deliberately don't work well so that you can't be promoted to the second-class quartermaster, so that you can continue to stay in the third-class quartermaster class!"

　　 "I think the life of a third-class quartermaster is very suitable for me... I don't need to make any changes..." El said quietly.

　　 "I'm too old now, and I have been tossed by you so many times, I have also seen it. You insist on letting your talent be buried, and I don't bother to say anything."

　　 "Because I've seen it open, I have basically never tried to persuade you to be a general in the past two years."

　　 "But—"

　　 After hearing the word "but", El raised his eyebrows.

　　 The words after "but" are basically the key points.

　　El’s instinct told him—his teacher wanted to tell him the reason for calling him this time.

　　 "Now I have to persuade you again... No, I beg you to be a general once again!"

　　 "El, I need your help now!"

　　 "I need you to lead a surprise attack on Avalon Fortress!"
