After the voice of the officer dressed up fell, the young man finally reacted.

"Hum!"

After a cold hum, the young man turned his caught wrist.

The young man broke away from the officer's control over him with extremely exquisite techniques.

"Huh?"

The officer raised his eyebrows and then said in a deep voice:

"You use fighting skills in the army!"

"Are you... Also in the army?"

The young man did not answer the officer's question.

Instead, he quickly grabbed the sword just released from the officer at his feet, and then quickly stepped back a few steps to distance himself from the officer.

While pulling away from the officer, he pulled out the sword in the scabbard.

The officer stood up slowly as he looked at the young man's sword posture.

"... sure enough." The officer whispered, "you hold the sword... You are indeed a man in the army."

"Shut up!" The young man roared, "I'm not a soldier now! Just an ordinary farmer walking on his way home! "

"Hurry up and hand over all your valuable things! As long as you hand over all your valuable things, I promise you - it will never hurt your life. "

"I won't give you anything." The officer replied in a calm tone, "and I won't let you hurt my life. After all - I still have an important mission."

"Then... Don't blame me...!" The young man slowly clenched the long sword in his hand

......

......

That evening——

"Come on, help yourself."

The officer threw a freshly roasted chicken leg at the young man.

But the young man did not take the chicken leg off his leg.

Instead, he continued to stare at the officer with hostile eyes.

"Don't be unconvinced."

The officer said in a calm tone without any emotion.

"With the determination to kill me, you cut at me with your sword."

"And I subdued you with my bare hands and made you my prisoner - isn't it fair and reasonable?"

"So - since you dare to draw a sword at others, you must be prepared to accept any consequences."

Speaking of this, the officer paused.

In order to further persuade the young man to eat well, the officer thought about the wording for a while and then said:

"We're lucky to hunt pheasants in such a wilderness."

"Eat well with gratitude. If you miss this meal and want to eat chicken again, you don't know when to get it."

"Hum!"

After the young man made a "hum" sound full of displeasure and resentment with his nose, he grabbed the chicken leg thrown on his leg with his hands tied together by hemp rope and began to eat.

After the young man began to eat the drumstick, the officer also tore off the other drumstick of the roasted pheasant and ate it silently.

While gnawing at the chicken leg, the officer whispered:

"My name is Rocher. Rocher de Sanchez. Young man, what about you? "

"Don't call me boy!" The young man said in an unhappy tone, "you're not an old man. It's strange to call me a young man!"

"My name is barrister! Barrister Brunner! "

"Are you a soldier?" Rochelle asked, "which army did you belong to before?"

"... northern border army, 3rd army."

As soon as barrest's voice fell, Rochelle stopped gnawing at the chicken leg.

After a long time, he resumed his action.

"You used to be a member of the northern border army..."

After learning that the young man belonged to the northern border army, Rocher understood everything in an instant.

I understand why this young man... Degenerated from a soldier to a thief who made a living by stealing money from people who were unconscious on the roadside

Barrister looked at the expression on Rochelle's face and smiled:

"It seems - you understand my difficulty."

"I don't want to be a soldier anymore."

"I don't have the courage to be a soldier again."

"I say, sir, do you know what happened on the northern border after the British Empire launched a comprehensive attack on us?"

"We are constantly surrounded, annihilated and slaughtered."

"The third army of our northern border army is called the strongest force of the northern border army - but so what?"

"It's not the same. It's vulnerable and collapsible at one touch!"

"I can see clearly!"

"At the beginning of the battle, I, an ordinary footman, stood in the front of the army!"

"So I can see very clearly how our army's array was easily torn apart by the British Army!"

"In less than half a day, the third army of the northern border army was completely destroyed!"

"And I disguised as a dead body and hid in the corpse pile, so I escaped..."

"Other regiments of the northern border army, like the third army to which I belong, were either completely annihilated or defeated so that they did not even have the ability to fight again..."

"In less than half a month, the British Army wiped out the whole army of our northern border army..."

"Occupied the whole north of our country..."

"It is impossible for us to win the British army and the 'superpower' in the North!"

Tears, containing all kinds of emotions, began to roll out of barrister's eyes.

"I don't have the courage to fight the British Army anymore."

"I don't want to be a soldier anymore."

"I just want to go home now... Be an ordinary farmer..."

"Call me whatever you want..."

"You can call me a deserter or a coward..."

"Or I can draw my sword directly and punish me according to the crime of deserting soldiers..."

"Anyway, it's in your hands now. Whatever you do..."

After that, the young man seemed to have accepted his fate and buried his head low.

But the sword he imagined coming at his head didn't come.

There was no sharp abuse.

Only a slight sigh.

"... raise your head."

Hearing Rocher's words, barrister hesitated for a moment and slowly raised his head.

When he raised his head, he saw Rochelle's expressionless face.

Although there was no expression on Rochelle's face.

But... I don't know if it was barrister's illusion. He always felt that there was a hint of bitterness on Rochester's face.

"I won't scold you, nor will I punish you for deserting soldiers."

"I understand you very well."

"After all, the gap between China and the British Empire is so large that people just want to stay away from the British army, but it's only human nature."

Speaking of this, Rochelle picked up a long branch at his feet and played with the bonfire in front of him.

"And..."

A bitter smile appeared on Rochelle's face.

"I may still be the sinner who indirectly caused your northern border army to be defeated by the British Army..."

"You just told me your story."

"Now let me tell my story."
