Chapter 231: Deadly Dawn (1)

22 Era 11:21, July 9th, 25th
They were loading weapon boxes in the port on the north bank of the Halic River, and Cusconal sat opposite the wide gray river.
The work is very hard, but these imperial soldiers are all smiling.
After installing these, they will go for a meal, have another drink, and then set off for the port.
These metal boxes are weather-resistant, like a mouthful of small coffins, filled with Dann 2221. This new rifle is the latest model modified by Dann Arsenal. It is also the world's first-class post-load rifle. Use these within two weeks.
The breeze blew along the river channel, sandwiching the smell of the sea and the mud.
These soldiers are from the 61st Company of the Third Guard Division of Antokas, an ordinary infantry company. Some of the soldiers are veterans who have been conscripted for many years, and most of them are new recruits.
Captain Locke must ensure that their morale is high.
"Is it green skin? How much green skin will there be?"
The recruits are always asking, they have heard of green skin, he promised that it will not be green skin.
"This is a drill,"
Locke replied.
"It is to show the military strength, this is the empire's muscles, showing our strength to the Xiaoxiao and the traitors."
Of course Locke was blinding them.
He lit a cigarette and took a sip while standing in the shade of the tree. He opened the collar of the dark gray military uniform to dry the sweat from his collarbone.
Locke has a good relationship with his regiment leader, and his regiment also trusts him. He also has friends in the ninth company of the Royal First Army Division. This is due in part to the friendly attitude of the fellow and his fellow countrymen.
His court friend said that "Ok is not just a threat on paper", and he said that "it is very likely that this is the removal of the turf in Aswan."
Locke thinks this is a stupid saying!
Geeks of green skin, junk animals, breed on the edge of the empire, and have the courage to harass the empire, at least they are not on paper.
That's why you should bring the whole third garrison division of your mother, and the seventh garrison division of your mother, as well as all the imperial army, throw all the troops you can get into Aswan Go out of nowhere.
Thank goodness, the empire will use an army capable of killing a kingdom to flatten out that breeding ground, before they kill you, kill them, and also kill their barbaric empire! Get rid of it!
When they hang up, no more, goodbye, you will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, and there will be no more threats, whether they are on the paper or not.
To use an army that has never appeared since the Great Conquest of the West, except for the battle of Drake, and the ten elite divisions of the Empire, use it to poke into the rotten green heart and the rotten green brain And, in his mother's green spine, the green skin base was completely removed.
This is Captain Locke's personal opinion.
Seeing Company Chief smoking, the soldiers slowed down their hands, and their arms hurt a little.
Rennes is the youngest, he is not so tender, he was drafted into the army just a week ago.
He seemed to have received a promise to spend an hour before leaving at night to say goodbye to his wife who had been married for six weeks. He could not bear the thought of not seeing her, and he gradually doubted it was a short promise.
Irene was waiting for him at a public dock across the river, waiting for him to wave behind the railing of the ferry boat.
He did not want to let her down. She would wait there one night in case he was just late, the sky would turn black, the factory chimney would cast a tan reflection on the black river, and she would be cold.
This thought gave him a heartache.
"Stand up the collar!"
Little Kraft twisted his ears to break him and immerse him. Little Kraft was just his name. In fact, he was quite old and he was a veteran.
"Work under the wind with the collar open."
He scolded:
"It's frostbitten, kid! Put on your hat and stand up the collar, even if you sweat. You don't want frostbite. Believe me, it's definitely more uncomfortable than seeing your wife cheating."
22 Era 12:12, July 9th, 25th
Shuike owns a piece of land at the mouth of Halic.
This field of about ten acres has fertile black alluvial soil. These lands are allocated according to years of service. Shuai has overcome the service. The yellowing record lying on the bottom of a drawer in the warehouse can prove that the real service. Years, march with the banner of the empire.
Shuaike used to be an imperial soldier.
He served for eighteen years and retired after the battle of Retino Rikum. At that time he was called "Good Soldier". He received a medal, a ribbon of honor, and an official seal on the record book. And it is divided into land proportional to years of service.
This is an imperative measure of the empire. The emperor’s vault has no more gold coins. He can’t pay so many soldiers’ retired fees. He can only use the old royal hunting grounds and gardens as rewards to the active veterans, and this is just A blessing that only a few lucky people can get.
But Shuker happened to be one of them.
But the administrative department did not bear his travel expenses and moving expenses. Shuike could only spend all of his arrival with hundreds of future neighbors. When he set foot on this land, people simply called him "shuike" "Only those who see the dim tattoos on his left arm will know his past as a soldier.
New electric lights lit up the prosperous city of Cuscolna and Canberra ~EbookFREE.me~ Because the forest was severely deforested upstream, the river water was constantly washing away the lower layers of soil, so the estuary was covered A thick layer of black silt makes this riverbank one of the most fertile lands near Cuscolna.
This is a good place, the smell of beets and cabbages always lingers in the humid air.
Shuaike now has no wife and works hard.
He planted large pieces of gorgeous flowers to decorate the halls and gowns of the upper-class society of Cuscolna, and planted flax for the local textile industry when the season changed.
Both require temporary labor, Shuaike often hires young children from nearby families, girls are responsible for picking and packing flowers, and boys harvest linen.
A thin chain on Orl's neck hung a Kaymon Protestant emblem, which was a gift from his first wife. The two of them died before they knew her well, and he joined the Imperial Army.
This emblem, as well as his faith, was one of the reasons why he came to Cuscolna. He felt that faith is easier to survive in this place.
At least, it should be like this.
Some of his neighbors, those who had been with him for ten years and whose children were employed by him, often laughed at his beliefs. They called him "Protestant Shuike".
Others went with him to the little church on the edge of the field to pray.
Now is the season of linen. Both men and boys work in the field, and they have two weeks of hard work.
Today, there are many ships floating across the coastline, armored ships, troop carriers, supply ships, Shuike squinted against the sun, he can recognize them, whether he is a peasant or a believer, deep inside he is still an empire soldier.
He can recognize them.
He had a feeling from the past, which reminded him of the rifle hanging above the fireplace.
