Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 324: The Rainy Season Is Coming

Claude lifted his pillow and looked at all the dozens of copper coins that had been thrown down there in the morning, plus four or five rear cords. This is what Claude deliberately threw under the pillow for three days in a row. Looks like this thief doesn't like money, so he likes to eat...

Almost a week after the advanced workshop, Claude had had plenty of examples to pick up in the classified archives room, some of which were truly striking. For example, to capture small hill defensive positions guarded by an enemy squadron, an attacking Kingdom-line regiment often pays a large battalion of casualties in order to win. In reading these summaries of practice, some officers at advanced seminars often had to blast the wooden heads of the officers in command at the time, who were alive forcing their soldiers to die.

Claude went to military school in the morning and went back to Aunt Natalie's house at night. Soon, however, he discovered that he had been robbed, not of money, but of a large bag of snacks that Claude had bought from the King, egg cookies, meat and dried fruit, etc. Claude bought these back. First, he was afraid he was hungry at night. Second, his mouth was very pale. He didn't really like drinking. He thought it would be nice to put something in his mouth and chew it at night...

But these snacks are a lot less, and I can't see them any less at first, but when Claude wants to eat snacks for a long time, he picks up the bag and looks at it. How come there's so much less? The suspect needless to say, there is no one else but Aunt Natalie's youngest daughter, Harbena. Because only she can go into Claude's room to clean, clean, change clothes, and help Claude make the bed and lay the quilt or take the quilt out to dry...

More than a dozen copper coins under the pillow were deliberately thrown there by Claude, and he wanted to see if Halbena would still steal money. Three days later, however, there was no shortage of copper coins, and it seemed that Harbena was just a mouthful, stealing Claude's snacks, but there was no greed. Forget it, Claude doesn't want to compare to her, so sneaking a snack or something isn't a big deal for Claude.

Claude was comfortable and comfortable at the senior seminar, and those officers respected him very much and did not regard him as a subordinate. Even in the analysis of the battles, Claude was often asked to comment, and after being named to the podium by General Michelchi to describe his participation in the two battles to capture Wolfgang and Squirrel Village Daejet, he was well integrated into the ranks of these officers, who saw Claude as one of their own.

I have to admit that each of these senior school officers is talented. They are often divided into two factions because of the results of a battle. Claude feels that many points of view are things he never thought of, but when he listened to them, he felt very practical and reasonable. During this time, Claude realized that his military level had progressed very quickly...

Soon after the rainy season in March, Claude packed up some of his own copies of the case files and took them to Aunt Natalie's house to prepare his wrap-up report for the rainy season. The files he had with him were all about the list of personnel and supplies consumed after the formation of the guerrilla battalion, and only now did he know how many soldiers had been lost by the guerrilla battalion in total to ambush the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry while that damned Lieutenant Colonel Rossler was in charge of the guerrilla battalion, plus two more guerrilla battalions could be formed.

They were forced to ambush their enemies by not organizing undisciplined recruitment of well-fired soldiers and giving them an Obash 3 type fireline gun. Later, also because too many soldiers were sacrificed to recruit volunteers, they escorted soldiers who violated military discipline. They also took a way to increase rewards to attract the dead in the army, turning the guerrilla battalion into a mercenary battalion...

If Claude had not used a spell protected by a long-range arrow on Lieutenant Colonel Rossler in the battle to capture the Vilph post, making him the target of an enemy fire on the hill post and killing him, there might have been no more guerrilla camps. Because all the soldiers of the guerrilla camp were forced by him to march in line for the enemy position, he died, or all the soldiers of the guerrilla camp died in battle at the position.

It was only after Lieutenant Colonel Rossler was killed that Claude gained command of the guerrilla battalion on the front line, commanding the soldiers to lie down, suppressing the defensive fire at the enemy's position with the precise aim of the Obash III rifle in their hands, and covering the subsequent soldiers' ascent to the hillside, seizing the enemy's defensive position. That battle was the glorious beginning of the guerrilla battalion, and the beginning of the Obash three-type fireline gun, which the Grand Prince and the Royal Army began to focus on precisely targeting the firepower of the enemy in their offensive battle.

Claude's battle summary report this time is about the guerrilla battalion. From the time Lieutenant Colonel Rossler was in charge of the four battalions of guerrillas in the war, the main contents are about the ambush of enemy reconnaissance cavalry. It's not that a soldier equipped with an Obash type 3 fireline gun can deal with enemy reconnaissance cavalry. Claude analyzes how to cooperate from his own battle experience, how to deal with enemy reconnaissance cavalry's group reconnaissance and front and rear echoes, how to ambush on the battlefield without alerting the enemy, etc...

In fact, Claude had already written the draft in that workshop room at the military academy, and when he came back, he just had to recast it one more time. So I woke up early in the morning to hear the noise of the rain outside, and I was too lazy to get up. I just leaned on my bed and stunned. From today on, I don't need to go to military school. Of course, I can go. It just rained so heavily that I don't have to go three times a day to eat.

By the way, I haven't told Aunt Natalie that I won't go to military school for the next rainy season, so I'll be ready to meet her at her house for dinner. Of course, the meals will be paid for, but it started raining last night and I was busy taking a shower and changing my clothes when I got back. I forgot to discuss it with her.

Just as Claude was struggling his mind to stay awake, he heard a "squeak," and the door was pushed open, and a man jumped in.

Claude's a little hairy. Didn't I lock the door last night? I remember the door was closed, didn't you insert the latch...

It was Aunt Natalie's daughter, Hal Bay, who came in and ran straight to the table in front of the window. The big bag of snacks that Claude had brought from the king was on the table, but more than twenty days later, the big bag of drum bladder had been emptied. Claude eats very little on his own, mostly in the stomach of that snack thief.

Now all that's left in the big bag is a small flat iron box with pear paste sugar, which is a famous sweet specialty of Wang Du. It's a sugar chip made of pears and honey, which is already an expensive luxury sweet in a world that lacks sweets. Claude remembers buying this little iron box of pear cream sugar cost him a silver taller.

Harbena skilfully put her hand in the big bag and pulled out the little iron box. Open the lid of the iron box, carefully remove a small slice of pear paste candy with two fingers, put it in your mouth, and close your eyes happily to smell...

After a while, Harbena finally opened her eyes and smashed her mouth, reluctantly looked at the remaining pear paste sugar in the tiny iron box, slowly covered the lid, biting her teeth and stuffed the tiny iron box back into the big bag.

Claude wanted to laugh. He bought a total of four boxes of pear paste candy in this little iron box. Three of these boxes were given to three of his children when Colonel Manridge had his home feast. His three children were happy. His little daughter also opened the lid on the spot and gave Claude a piece of pear paste candy, saying thank you to Uncle, making everyone laugh, Qi Quan she was good.

Claude saw just over a dozen pieces of pear paste in this little iron box, and now it looks like the only little iron box in this big bag shouldn't have enough pear paste left. No wonder Halbena was so in love with just one slice.

Halbena turned around, ready to start cleaning the room, and then she saw Claude lying in bed laughing and staring at her. It's just that Claude didn't think it was Halbena. "Ah!“ A shock woke him up and scared him.

I have to say, Harbena's voice is so loud, it's like a soprano. Claude just felt his ears buzzing, and then he heard voices coming from the outside, like, "What's going on? What's going on? ” ……

Immediately after that, old man Zacillac, Aunt Natalie, and Doris broke into Claude's room and everyone stared at Claude lying in bed.

“What have you done with Bena?” Old Zacillac was blushing like a mad old dog waving his fist and growling.

“Bena, what happened?” Aunt Natalie questioned her daughter, and she didn't know that Halbena was blushing because Claude had discovered her secret eating behavior, not what Claude had done to her.

Doris first looked at Harbena's clothes, then at Claude's body in bed wrapped in a quilt, and she skipped her mouth without shame. It seemed like Claude had no idea what she was doing to Harbena...

Claude finally got back from the tinnitus and heard old Zacilac screaming in a fierce mood, angry in his heart, coldly: “What have I done? Ask your baby daughter what she did! I lay here so well, she suddenly came in... I woke up when I saw her, almost scared me deaf... ask her what her name was! ”

Claude was going to say that Harbena had been eating his food, but when she thought about it, she hid it. It was normal for a girl to whisper. Besides, the way she had been eating pear paste was ridiculous and cute.

Halbena finally calmed down and couldn't help but show her gratitude when she heard Claude not say anything about her sneaking food. Hearing Mother ask her why she was shocked, she pointed to Claude in the bed: “You, why haven't you gone to military school? You scared me...”

Obviously this was a misunderstanding. Halbena came in to clean up the hygiene. Usually Claude had already gone to military school at this moment. She hadn't been in bed today. Halbena didn't know. When she came in, she suddenly found someone in the bed, and she was shocked. Things were so simple...

Claude said helplessly, "Sister, how can I go to military school when it's raining so hard out there? Next up is the rainy season. The military academy asked me to write a report at home and wait for the rainy season to pass before taking classes...”

The misunderstanding clarified that Harbena could only be blamed for being too timid and too loud. Old Zahirak turned away without talking. Claude wanted to scold someone. The old man was so mean. Who do you think I am? Now that things are clear, should I apologize? Don't blame me for not humming!

Claude's eyes got cold, but Aunt Natalie was even saying she was sorry and blamed Harbena for not being big or small. Everything was so fussy that she upset the whole family. Meanwhile, Claude's not going to military school right now, so I'm sure she hasn't had breakfast yet, so let Doris go to the kitchen and get Claude some breakfast.

Claude took the opportunity to step down and discuss with Aunt Natalie the issue of partnering at their house during the rainy season, saying that a half-day agreement had finally been reached on the cost and specifications of the meal. Claude's only request was that he didn't want to eat at their table, which was Claude's unwillingness to see the old man's face in Zacilac, and the second was for cleanliness, so he needed to bring every meal to his room.

Aunt Natalie took Harbena to pack the clothes that Claude had changed yesterday and left the room. Claude was generous and gave a silver tall meal fee, and for 20 rainy days, it was estimated that Aunt Natalie would make half of the money. Apart from the fact that Claude needs a meat dish for two meals at noon and evening, Claude doesn't expect much from their meal anyway.

But Claude was a little surprised when Doris sent him breakfast because he was fried with two eggs, black bread and salt, butter and a bowl of oatmeal. Claude was about to say thank you to Doris, and by the way, if there was any sausage or anything in the bread, he saw old Zacillac swinging under the roof of the door, his eyes slipping into the room, like watching himself and Doris.

Claudetten had no appetite at all, and the old man was disgusting. He nodded at Doris and said thank you and sat down to pick up the fork and pick up the eggs. And Doris didn't talk, so she turned around and walked out.

After a while, Doris came to pack the plates and found that Claude had only eaten a bun of eggs and drank oatmeal congee. Claude said to put the black bread here first and eat it when you're hungry. When Doris left, Claude heard a lousy sawmill coming from the outside, and at first glance he found that Old Zacillac was sawing wood under the roof, as if to do something. I didn't expect the old man to do woodworking. Claude wasn't going to see it, either, and he started reading and writing after closing the door.

After lunch, Claude wanted to take a nap, and the noise came out loud. Claude got up and was about to go to the kitchen to make some hot water and black tea, and went out to see Zacilac, the old man, on the stairs upstairs on the second floor, who had no idea what he was tossing about, and the whole staircase of "ping pong" was vibrating, no wonder he could hear that noise in the stone room, which was so soundproofed.

Doris was the only one in the kitchen. She just sat in front of the stove and lost her mind. She was holding a cucumber-like wooden stick in her hand. One of the wooden sticks was rubbed round and smooth, and she didn't know what to do.

Claude barked twice before she came back to her senses. At first sight, Claude was blushing, and she didn't know where to swing the wooden stick. It took me a while to calm down and ask Claude what was going on.

Claude said he'd get himself a kettle of hot water, and asked Old Man Zahirak what he was up to.

Doris looked at Claude and said the old man decided to put a wooden door on the stairs upstairs so he could isolate the upstairs and downstairs. He said this prevents accidents, people get old and sleep more dead at night, so if someone touches upstairs, he won't hear, and with this door, he can rest assured.

Wolfsbane, you old bastard, that's not true!
