Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 293: Death.

Sergeant Siegfried, an attendant deputy to Captain Duriolo, hurriedly knocked on the door and entered Claude's room: “Captain Claude, the Military Justice Department of Front Line Command is here to take away the four impersonating officers. Our chief refused his request and is now confronting them in the battalion office...”

Claude understands, this is Captain Duriolo asking him to rush to reinforcements. He stood up and ordered a correspondent to send the squadron from Diavid armed to the site of the local guard battalion and forbade the men of the Military Justice Division of the Front Line Command to take the four prisoners. Then he went out and took Sergeant Sigfi to Captain Duriolo's battalion office. On the way, he ran into Muriel, and he followed Claude to the chase.

I didn't expect those noble officers to move so fast that the gift-giving Lieutenant Perenger left only three days ago, and the Military Justice Department came to take the four bastards. Claude has traveled three days and two nights from Squirrel Village to Pacacia City, a county town in Palo Alto County in the three southern counties where Front Line Command is located, which is the speed of the carriage. If it's a quick horse whip, it'll take two days and one night.

It appears that the noble officers are ready for Lieutenant Pereng's unsuccessful journey, and it is likely that the Military Justice Division will be manned in the town near the Vietnam Trail. As soon as Lieutenant Pereng left Squirrel Village and exited the highway, he rushed to the town to rendezvous with members of the Military Justice Department, which was why in such a short period of time, members of the Military Justice Department arrived at the cantonment camp of the Squirrel Village local guard camp.

A small group of gendarmes dressed in red and black uniforms stood in the corridor outside Captain Duriolo's office, with three black bands on their cuffs, a symbol dedicated to the gendarmerie of the Military Justice Division. On the stairs, Claude heard someone roaring in the office: "Captain Duriolo, you must hand over the prisoner to us...”

Two gendarmes stood at the stairwell, possibly on orders denying access to the office. But the two gendarmes, looking at the shoulders of Claude and Muriel, hurried to raise their hands and retreated to one side. The Officers in Charge of the Military Branch who ordered them forgot that the gendarmes could only prevent soldiers of the same rank as them, but could not prevent officers from entering the office.

“What's going on?” Claude pushed open the door to the office and Muriel followed and closed the door.

There were only three people in the office, Captain Duriolo sat behind his desk, silently surprised to see the two Claudes coming in. And the other two, two officers in the Military Justice Division of Front Line Command, one is a lieutenant, who looks 278 years old, with a two-handed beard on his face, sitting flat on a single sofa set up in his office, so that he can enjoy a glass of fruit wine in his spare time.

Another big, fat lieutenant was full of flesh, and it seemed that the growl he had just heard was this man who was standing in front of Captain Duriolo's desk. Obviously, all the pressure on Captain Duriolo came from this vicious lieutenant officer.

“Who let you in, get out!” The seriously-faced lieutenant officer did not see the shoulder stamps of Claude and Muriel, but merely pointed at the door when he saw someone coming in and told them to get out of the way and not to interfere with their business.

Claude's eyes glared at him and before he spoke, Muriel behind him jumped to the front and opened his mouth and shouted: “Eyes blind, asshole! Where did you come from? How dare you let your superior officer get out of here? How dare you! ”

This coarse lieutenant officer found Muriel wearing the same lieutenant's shoulder badge as him, and he was not afraid to insult officers of the same rank. But when he saw Captain Claude's shoulder badge clearly, he hurriedly stood up to salute and apologized: "Sorry, Captain, I didn't see it clearly earlier, I thought it was my subordinates who came in, so I accused them of disobeying orders. Please, sir, punish..."

Claude just glanced at him cold and didn't give back: “Hands in your mouth, not now! ”

“Yes, sir.” The seriously-faced lieutenant officer was also simply looking directly at his face, which was “snapping” twice, and his cheeks quickly swelled up at a visible speed.

In the Royal Auvellas Army, the following crimes are said to be large and large, small and small. Generally, as long as they are caught on the spot, the superior officer is basically punished in person. It's perfectly normal for a lieutenant like Claude to just let himself clap. Some perverted officers would go to the soldiers' trouble, make them stand upside down, learn to scream dogs, and even do hundreds of push-ups on the streets. The Ministry of the Army was compelled to issue a specific punishment regulation for the following offences, limiting the punishment of superiors to a reasonable range.

Claude turned his gaze to the officer sitting on the couch, Lieutenant Hu, who was very knowledgeable and had already put down his glass and stood still, and when he saw Claude, he raised his hand to salute him: "Salute you, Knight Claude. ”

Claude says, “Do you know me? ”

This Lieutenant Hu replied with a smile: "Of course, I can't think of any other name than you, Captain, who can stand here and wear the Knight's Medal. ”

It is also a captain, but Captain Duriolo, the battalion commander of the local guard battalion, is a low-ranking officer. This cannot be done, it is a default rule in the Royal Army that the rank of the local guard battalion is automatically lower than that of the regular army. That's why Captain Duriolo needed Claude to come down here and help him, or he wouldn't have the guts to confront these two officers from the Military Justice Division of Front Line Command. Because his captain rank can only be leveled in front of this Lt. Hu Yazi officer, but because the other party comes from the front-line command and is automatically high, the fierce lieutenant officer has the nerve to roar in front of him.

Unlike Claude, he is a captain officer of the Ranger Battalion, a direct front-line command, under the personal command of the Grand Prince, and an independent combat unit of an experimental nature in the regular army of the Kingdom. In addition to being no lower than the officers of the Front Line Command, he also wore the Knight's Medal, not to mention that the two officers who came this time were lieutenants and lieutenants, even captains had to pay tribute to Claude first.

Claude nodded: "Are you two from the Military Justice Division of Front Line Command? Your officers' cards and ID cards, please. ”

“You...” The lieutenant officer with the redness of his cheeks wanted to say something, and he could tell he was angry, but he was stopped by the officer's harsh eyes.

“Yes, please check. This is our military ID and ID.” Lieutenant Yagami was very happy to pull out his own military ID and identification documents.

The officer card is small and contains only a brief description of the rank, name, age, unit and unit to which it belongs. On the other hand, the identification documents are twice as large as the officers' cards, which record in detail information such as his physical fitness and specialty graduation internship unit, as well as his position in the front-line command.

“Geprick. Lieutenant Sha Levinster, Staff Counsellor, Military Justice Division, Front Line Command…" said Claude.

“It's me, Knight Claude.” Lieutenant Hu nodded with a smile.

“You check again.” Claude handed Captain Duriolo the officer card and identification documents in his possession and said to Lieutenant Yagami Hu, "I'm sorry, Lieutenant Giprek, we have to be cautious right now. After all, the impersonation of an officer took place the other day and I'm sure you've heard of it. That's why we keep checking and checking your identity, because we don't want to make the same mistakes again and be the object of other people's laughter...”

Lieutenant Geprick smiled somewhat embarrassingly: "It should be, it should be, it shouldn't be wrong to be careful. ”

“And yours?” Claude turned to the coarse lieutenant officer.

The fierce-looking lieutenant officer is not of aristocratic origin. His name is Becky Milo. Nitaya, also the Military Justice Division of Front Line Command. However, he was not a staff officer, but an executive officer, and it appeared that the small unit of gendarmerie in the corridor was under his command.

Captain Duriolo had examined the officers' cards and identification documents of the two men, and he nodded to Claude, saying that there were no problems with their identities.

“Well, I'm sure you're from the Military Justice Division of Front Line Command. So, what are you two doing here?” Claude rebelled, automatically replacing Captain Duriolo as the landlord.

Lieutenant Geprick looked at Captain Duriolo first and saw that he had no reaction. He seemed to have given Claude control of the place. He laughed helplessly: "Yes, Knight Claude, we are conducting a military discipline inspection here in Alfister County. We came to Rosa Town to hear that there was a case of impersonating an official officer of the Kingdom here, so we rushed over to pick up the prisoners and prepare to take them back to the Military Justice Department of the Front Line Command for review...”

Claude laughed, "Oh, yeah. No wonder you're upset with Captain Duriolo. Isn't he reluctant to hand over the culprits? It's none of his business. I'm in charge of this guy, and even if he promises to hand over the guy to you, it doesn't matter. ”

Lieutenant Geprick's face suddenly grew gloomy: "Knight Claude, what do you mean by that? Do you want to interfere in the performance of our duties? This is a violation of military discipline, you should know the consequences! ”

“Performing official duties? Oh...” Claude grinned. “Since you said you were on official business, please show me the power of attorney and the order to transfer the offender. You will not extract prisoners from us without the letter of authorization issued by the Ministry of the Army for the transferees and the order of the Grand Prince. ”

“Knight Claude, please don't be ridiculous.” Lieutenant Geprick is very vocal: "It is our responsibility to bring the extractors back to the Military Justice Department for review, and there is no need for authorization documents and orders from the Supreme Commander. Please cooperate with our law enforcement efforts by transferring those four persons to us, or we will punish you for interfering in your official duties in accordance with military discipline! ”

“Interference in public service? What a big charge...” Claude doesn't look scared at all: “Don't think I don't know, those four people are supposed to be direct officers of Front Line Command. As colleagues, you should hide, not rush to extract the culprits. Is that what you want to wipe your asses off?

If the perpetrators are handed over to you, I am sure that the follow-up to this case will never be heard again. If we were to ask, the answer would certainly not have been found. So I'm sorry, gentlemen, where you come from or where you go back, this is not a case you can get involved in, nor is it a case you can handle. ”

Lieutenant Geprick looked at Claude badly: "Knight Claude, let me ask you again, are you sure you want to obstruct us in the line of duty? ”

“Oh, you guys on duty?” Claude shook his head: “I did not obstruct you in the performance of your official duties. I ask you to complete the formalities for the performance of your official duties. Please produce the authorization documents and the order of the Supreme Commander transmitting the perpetrators, and I will hand them over to you immediately. ”

“Good, Knight Claude.” Lieutenant Geprick stared at Claude word for word: "You are now accused of obstructing official duties and law enforcement. On behalf of the Military Justice Department, I declare you under arrest. Please follow us to Front Line Command for review! ”

“Fucking bullshit!” Muriel Ed, standing next to him, was angry and suddenly punched in the face of Lieutenant Geprick when he was about to fall to the ground. Suddenly, no one expected Muriel to be so impulsive. Claude hastily hugged him and prevented him from going forward, for assaulting a superior military judge.

“You... whoop... hit me...” Lieutenant Geprick fell on the floor with his face covered, Muriel's punch right in his nose, seemed to twist his nose, his nose bleeding all over. I climbed out of the ground so easily, my eyes sprayed with hateful rage, pointing to Claude and Muriel, "Arrest them, Lieutenant Becky Milo, where are you standing? ”

“Yes, sir.” Instead of rushing forward, Lieutenant Becky Milo, rough-looking and fierce, stretched out his right hand and appeared in his hand. The other left hand was also not idle, and a match was rowed on the table next to it, the flame lit up, and then the short rope was lit.

“Hands up!” Ensign Becky Milo has targeted Claude and Muriel briefly.

“Boom!” The gunfire rang in the office.

Claude looked at his body in astonishment, looked at Muriel's body in front of him, and found no wounds.

“Push through," Lieutenant Becky Milo fell on the floor with a bloody bullet hole in his face. The short one in his hand also fell on the ground, and the fire rope on it was still burning slowly, not in the firing state...

Claude turns around and sees Captain Duriolo with a short, smoky smile in his hand, staring at Ensign Becky Milo's body on the ground. Seeing Claude look at him, Captain Duriolo muttered his defense: “I, I just wanted to hit him in the hand, but I didn't think I was hitting him in the face...”

“You, you actually killed Lieutenant Becky Milo..." Lieutenant Geprick trembled all over Cerser, and this killed people, and things got really messed up. He wouldn't have felt his nose hurt, pointing to Claude and screaming out loud: "Somebody, somebody! ”

The door was opened, just as Lieutenant Geprick had expected, not by the gendarmerie who came with them, but by heavily armed Diavid.

“What about the gendarmes at the door?” Claude asked.

“We disarmed them and squatted in the lobby downstairs.” Diavedman didn't care for the answer.

“What now?” Claude asked Captain Duriolo.

Captain Duriolo finally returned to God, pointing to Lieutenant Geprik: “Arrest him first, I immediately sent a letter to the Army Department, accusing them of two false discipline inspectors with the intention of holding us hostage and forcing us to release the four criminals impersonating the official officers of the Kingdom...”
