Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 663: Warta's doubts

Night fell. The Garella fortress, which had been lively all day, inevitably fell into silence. Inside a fortress as large as a medium-sized city, most of the place became very quiet except for the footsteps of patrolling soldiers and the occasional one or two conversations.

After the soldiers in charge of cleaning up the wreckage of the exercise, after a whole afternoon of fighting, or unilateral killing and bombardment, the riddled exercise field has been repaired seven or eight, at least not affecting the first. The soldiers performed exercises and daily training on the second day; and the very rare guests, the students from Tolz, also went to bed early in accordance with the army’s custom after having dinner—note, it’s "enjoy." Had dinner. Because the day of the internship happens to be Saturday, and every Saturday is also the day most soldiers look forward to. Because only on this day, dinner will provide a rare food in the entire fort-red wine beef risotto. The students were really lucky, and on the first day they arrived, they caught up with the normal good meal that most soldiers in the fortress were looking forward to day and night.

In summary, everything is normal and calm as water in the fortress tonight. It has always been the latest maintenance class to take a rest. After a long day of work, they are also preparing to leave the warehouse. They go back to take a shower and sleep beautifully.

"Okay, it's all right now." The monitor's words made the maintenance staff who have been busy all day almost unable to help cheering. In the look of expectation, the squad leader knocked the last button of the operating terminal, and said with relief: "Today's indicators are complete."

"Oh, I can finally take a shower." The soldiers who didn't even have the strength to cheer almost collapsed on the spot. "Today was soaked in sticky sweat all day."

"After the drill, it's this kind of **** of work, you have to get used to it." An older man who seemed to be a little older said kindly to the newcomer who was complaining about him, "And to be honest, I have the guidance now. The Internet helps us manage our resources... It’s normal to work until midnight before going back to sleep."

"But in that case, the lieutenant general would instead think about our fatigue and avoid our morning exercises." Another maintenance worker snickered.

"I would rather rest earlier."

However, just as the staff were busy talking about it, the sound of "di di di", which symbolized communication, rang abruptly. The display suddenly lights up, and it shows a message that has just been pushed over, and the name of the sender is impressively written "Commander's Room."

"Isn't it?" After reading the above content, everyone was even more wailing, "Really, so there is trouble with things like Daoli Network that can run smoothly all day long!"

"What's the matter?" The several maintenance workers who had already dreamed that the bedroom was not luxurious, but could definitely be regarded as comfortable beds, gathered around after hearing the restlessness here.

"It seems that there will be additional drills tomorrow...We are required to install 20 C components on the "18th" by tomorrow. "The squad leader said weakly.

"Ah? Really?" "It must be all night to work!" The wailing sounded through the garage.

"Besides, there are not so many C components left. I remember that the stock in the warehouse was used up by today's exercise..."

"No..." The squad leader who had just completed the inventory of the materials said in a heavy and fateful tone: "This will make sense. I only sent it by cargo delivery this evening. There are exactly 20 C components. It’s in the warehouse."

"No way... **** it, I have to do it." After the maintenance workers experienced the process of hope to disappointment, naturally they complained one by one, but no one meant to quit, "At least let people take a bath. what……"

"Look at the cafeteria for extra snacks and midnight snacks. Knowing that we work overtime throughout the night, they won't be stingy with this." The squad leader said to the oldest of the team members. In the face of installing tank components, going to the cafeteria to get supper and drinks back is an easy job. Although you can’t disobey orders, the squad leader is still very considerate in such small details, which can make old players with less physical strength. Get even a little preferential treatment.

"Okay, everyone, let's start working!" The monitor gave an order, and the rest of them took their place.

"Are you looking for me?" On the side of the cafeteria, in the exclusive lounge specially prepared for the commander and the distinguished guests, Heliga and the opposing Lieutenant Admiral placed a cup of freshly brewed coffee in front of each other-not a high-end product, just Ordinary instant coffee only.

"I didn't care at the earliest, but I just found out that you were the young hero who saved the lives of His Royal Highness Alfin and the many guests present in Notre Dame Park during the Imperial Summer Solstice Festival last month." Lieutenant General Warta said, " I specifically called you here, one is to thank you-thank you for your contribution to the empire and the royal family."

"You're exalting me too much." Heliga said calmly, and then took a sip of coffee, frowning suddenly by the sour taste, "That's just what I should do, let alone I have other people. The request is here."

"It's okay... I heard that you are of aristocratic background. Sure enough, this commoner's shabby food doesn't suit your taste?" Lieutenant General Varta asked as if he was aware of Heliga's reaction when he drank coffee just now. Just a general inquiry. It seems that this lieutenant is a straight-tempered man, he can say whatever he wants.

"Where... the strategic location of the army, the rationing of supplies is very important and tense, plus the empire has such a huge force here... Honestly, some drinks are good." Heliga said, including him. The nobles inside usually drank black tea. Even if they occasionally drank some coffee, it was in the exquisite drink shop or the boutique made by Sharon. It was the first time he drank things like this kind of random brewing. .

"Actually, there are still some good drinks in this cafeteria. It just seems to have been taken by those guys in the maintenance team." Lieutenant General Varta said dismissively, "After all, there is such a large-scale exercise today. They really worked a little harder, so just take some extra supplies."

"Yes. Elliott also said before that his father, Lieutenant General Craig, although he was exceptionally brave in combat and very strict in training, he usually had a good relationship with the soldiers at the bottom...Forget it. This little matter is not important." Heliga shook his head, "I think, you are not just looking for me for this matter, right?"

"Actually..." After a while of silence, Lieutenant General Warta finally gritted his teeth and said what he wanted to say, "During the exercise just now...Your expression made me a little bit concerned."
