Day [Life]: Incarnation
Hard-headed Soldier and His Deputy

[Not Luke's point of view].

A few days earlier, we heard rumors that the imperial army had begun its invasion at the borders of the kingdom. His majesty who heard him immediately gave me orders to head for the region immediately. In the village of Halm.

"Haa... Can't the empire stop invading? I'm tired of all this..."

Said a soldier who was eating with other soldiers.We are currently in the cafeteria. Our plan will begin our journey tomorrow. I heard from Vice Alberd he'll take the lead while the chairman will follow...

"It looks like we're going to fight..."

Some soldiers complained, but a few moments later.

"Hey!! Let's bet on it! Can we repel the imperial army?"

A soldier gave a proposal that made the spirit of other soldiers again smoldering.

"Oh!! I put 12 bronzes! For kingdom!"

"Hmph! I'll put up 2 silver! To empire!"

Some soldiers eagerly gave their share.

"Oh! For those who win the bet, the money will be divided equally!"

The proposer gave some new rules. The atmosphere of the canteen became noisy. Some of the soldiers shouted while placing their own bets.

The next day came, it was time for the soldiers to set out to repulse the imperial soldiers. They seemed calm without fear of death. A great sense of patriot is balanced with a burning spirit. Walking with people who see them walking like a parade.

The swift steps and heavy armor, the heat that stung the skin, plus the silence of the people as if hoping. When the line of soldiers reached outside the gate, they immediately marched. The number is divided into 5 battalions.1 battalion consists of 2-6 companies, of which 1 company consists of 100 people. They were all about 7,000 troops with an archery force of about 1,000 men and 4,800 infantry and 1,200 men carrying catapult as a fighting unit if the empire could not be repelled.

The journey starts from the capital and will reach the village of Halm on the 12th day. While traveling we will rest at night. It drained us a lot of energy so when we arrived, we had to immediately repulse the imperial army. No rest, no thought. When the troops are pushed back, we will make camp and rest as long as there is no surprise attack from the empire.

At that very instant, the imperial troops who were relaxing were surprised by our arrival and immediately attacked. We received approximately 200 fatalities on the infantry, and the imperial army was successfully pushed back.

"Come to camp soon! We'll rest here! Make a campfire to cook!"

By the order of Vice Alberd, we set up a tent and immediately carried out the task. Lapse 1 day after all that, the Chairman came by horse.

He immediately walked into the tent and worked on some documents. Again the staff was busy with training. Not long after a few days, 2 adventurers appeared. They asked to be reunited with the Chief, so one of the soldiers asked what his purpose was.

Some of the soldiers were surprised by the elven adventurers who were with him, long and blue hair, with a rapier on his slender waist, with a chest that was not too big. Thin lips, and his distinctive ears.

"Perfects...."

"My spirit's filled!"

Some also cheered "Uoh!!!" and dnegan segwra continued to train with a burning spirit. With a slight hesitation, the soldier escorted them. They are samlai but the chairman seems stubborn.

*high...

The soldier was annoyed at the attitude of the chairman, he continued to insist but the chairman did not immediately give a definite answer. After a while, the vice chairman (Alberd), came and said he would persuade. And after a while, he succeeded. The soldier was given the task back, with the answer "Good sir!" and turn towards training.

Debris that had previously disturbed was removed when making camp at the place, only a few foundations left half-fallen house.

"So, what do you want to explain??"

He said without glancing at the young man. Even so, the chairman still thinks 'only adventurers huh...?'

With a faint thought he said in his mind. The adventurer politely introduces himself as Luke, and the woman in his samling is Zena. He explained some of the problems from beginning to end.

Although explained at length the thought of the chairman is 'huft....' the deputy (Alberd) who heard that the adventurer did not want to contribute a little provoked, but the chairman prevented him and asked questions.

"the reason?"

And then the adventurer reasoned, a little deacons enter. The captain understood and agreed. 'I don't think it's a problem, after all the adventurer only thinks of his own dirk' he said in his mind as he continued his documents. Likewise the adventurer thanked him politely and went out.

When the adventurer was away from the tent, the vice-chairman (Alberd) denied the Chairman's remarks.

"Chairman! What's with his attitude! At least they sacrificed for the kingdom!"

Or some related to the patriotism that the adventurer had. Indeed when viewed from 1 point of view it will be like that. But the chief with his wise thinking said.

"That's how it is. Life does not mean we have to sacrifice something. Sometimes life requires escape. When nothing else is reliable, will you continue to sacrifice something?"

And then the deputy answered.

"There is a saying that says 'try not to betray the results'!"

And the chairman asked questions again.

"Your dream is in her position, when there are only 2 choices, the first choice you have to sacrifice, and the second choice runs. Which one will you choose? The first choice is good, but when you sacrifice he will not come back and fight for the next right? Although it is 1 in 1000 chances that he will escape death, but when destiny says otherwise what should he do besides run? He would fight the imperial army alone and die in vain?"

The deputy was silent.

"At least think about the situation. I spoke so because I understood the situation, he also lost his parents. If he lost his wife and child, what would he do? Keep fighting? A vendetta? Or perhaps the worst route, he would go on a rampage and become an enemy between the empire and the kingdom. Is that the best?"

"...."

"Huf... In this way at least he was a little useful because he was willing to persuade the citizens. And we don't have to force him to fight. Ah, by the way, call me a soldier."

"Good sir."

With a slight hesitation he then exited the tent and summoned the other soldiers through the 2 tent guards standing outside. He then went back in and stood behind the chairman who was still confronted by the documents.

"Soldier Henry, Come!"

With respect he shouted.

"Tell this to your Majesty. Then tell your highness to set up some camps for the Halm refugee."

While handing the scroll in the stamp to the henry soldier.

"Ready-done!"

And then a letter was sent. He then took the horse on the chairman's permission and went towards the capital.

"This is the end of the last bit of finishing touch..."

The chief who stretched his body then drank the hot tea that was next to the pile of documents.
