Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 490: Sheila's Experience

Take a fresh buffalo back leg out of the kitchenette storage room, just replenished from a small station on the banks of the River Dorinibara, and throw it in front of the dark wind that keeps rocking its tail. Thinking about it, Claude took another little basin, poured half a pot of milk into it, put it in front of the black giant wolf, and slapped it in the head with his hands: “Be good, stay here if you eat and drink enough, don't give me any trouble..."

After settling in the dark wind, Claude poured hot water in the basin, took a clean towel, and threaded off the dust that gently stained the Wizard's face. Soon, an eye-catching, memorable face appeared in front of Claude. Just hasn't seen it for over a decade. It's a flowery beauty in my memory, and now it's frosty. My eyebrows are full of vigilance and exhaustion. I've even got a few wrinkles on my forehead and corners of my eyes...

Claude stared at the comatose sorceress, filled with regrets and lost surprises. He had forgotten when he and Sheila had cut off the message and remembered when he had left Sheila to visit her family and get married. Wang Du joined the Rangers, attended military school training, and became a disciple of Marshal Michel. In those years, when he remembered Sheila, he wrote to her all the time, but all the letters didn't answer, so he slowly forgot to continue writing to her, slowly burying Sheila deep in his memory...

Then he followed the Rangers to the Overseas Colonies, more than a decade later. Claude never thought that his first lover in the world would appear so suddenly in front of him, that he might never see Sheila again in his life, and that this first love affair would only be buried deep in his heart.

The sky began to shine and the sun rose. Claude sat beside the bed looking at the magician on the bed, and the black wolf lay beside him, looking up at Claude from time to time, and sniffing his nose together again and again, cautiously avoiding Claude's discovery. Of course, Claude's mind is on his first lover, ignoring the little action of the black wind...

Knock on the door and wake Claude out of contemplation.

“General, Harold Castle Station is almost here, you see..." Major Mason Hughes came in, looked at the Black Giant Wolf in awe, and then measured Claude carefully to make sure that Claude was all right, which only relieved him.

Claude rubbed his eyebrows, stood up, dumped his numb legs, and rubbed them with his hands to speed up the flow of blood. If he could, he didn't want to be disturbed by people alone with Hillah, but last night, when something like this happened, so many people died, so many of his guards were injured, and as a general of the military region, the highest-ranking man on this train, he had to deal with these sweeps.

“Let the train stop for a day at the station and inform the railway operator that last night there was a bandit robbery and that most of the bandits have now been exterminated and perhaps a few others have fled. Because of the high number of casualties, let them send someone to deal with them. Staff and passengers who are injured or injured shall be compensated as much as possible, and the security of each train shall be strengthened in the future to prevent the recurrence of such incidents...”

Claude can only categorize all the operatives of the kingdom's special services who were killed as bandits who robbed the train, with no proof of death, in case anything goes wrong with their first lover. The next step is how the railway operator can appease the passengers who have had bad luck with the incident. It's just the amount of money lost. Try to minimize the impact, slow down the big thing, slow down the small thing. In a half year, everyone forgot about the train robbery.

“It's up to you to deal with the incident.” Claude said. Being the first person in charge of the military power in the autonomous military region, it would not be appropriate for him to come forward and make a scene: “As for her, keep everything confidential. Don't get involved, okay? ”

“Yes, General.” Major Mason Hughes, as Claude's personal deputy, naturally knew who Claude was referring to, was about to leave after the salute and was called by Claude again.

“Wait, go to Harold Castle Station, get some more fresh beef and lamb, and get a barrel of milk and rye.” Claude remembers when the black wind loved to drink rye.

“Yes, General.” Major Mason Hughes looked at the Black Giant Wolf again and the Black Giant Wolf gently tailed him.

About half an hour later, the train arrived at Harold Castle Station, and soon the entire station was shocked by the robbery of the train by the bandits. The body of a bandit and the body of a passenger were brought down from the train, arranged on the platform of the train station, and the injured passengers cried out about their experiences. The entire station came and went, and the local guards quickly took over the station to maintain order.

No one bothered Claude, however, as the guards of the two squadrons had set a perimeter perimeter of the special box, and Major Mason Hughes represented Claude in his dealings with the station director and the heads of local patrol services and local guards, describing the detailed process of the incident.

Big Gemmy finally appeared in front of Claude again, bringing unfortunate news that the last two bandit wounded had not healed their lives, while giving Claude a black folder containing the testimonial records of two bandit wounded awakened by irritating drugs, explaining why they were hunting Sheila, the sorceress.

“General, I've issued a seal.” Big Gummy said he was also stunned by the testimonies of the operatives of the two kingdoms' special services. Prince Hansburg, or His Majesty in these two populations, Hansburg I, was actually assassinated by this sorceress, and they, the operatives of the kingdom's special services, have been hunting this sorceress for two or three years...

Big Gummy had no idea that this so-called sorceress was Claude's little lover Sheila when she was stationed in Squirrel Village during the five years of Eastern War. He had seen Sheila in that time and helped her with building materials and building cabins. He was well aware that the news, if disseminated, would create another wind wave that would divert Claude into it, so a seal was issued at the outset prohibiting several security personnel involved in the interrogation from raising the matter.

Claude nodded, no wonder the big Gummy made his own decision, the guard squadron personnel responsible for defending were close friends of Claude, all after careful examination, loyalty to Claude is unquestionable and naturally trustworthy. And Big Gemmy can cross Claude's direct orders, indicating that Sheila's situation is very serious, very complicated...

How is it possible that Claude's face finally changed when he swept through those confessions at a glance and Sheila was the murderer of Prince Hansburg? But Claude calmed down immediately, regardless of whether his eldest prince had died in Sheila's hands, Sheila was right in front of herself, and nobody was going to let herself hand her over. As Claude is now, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything. It's easy to keep a Sheila.

After Big Gummy left, Claude went back to bed and stared at Sleeping Sheila, darkening her resolve that no one could ever let Sheila leave her side again...

It wasn't until evening that Sheila finally woke up, but the pain in her body forced her to hum.

“Are you awake? Sheila, it's me. I'm Claude.” Claude first arrived by the bed and lit the candles on the silver candlestick by the bed so that Sheila could see herself more clearly in the bed.

“Claude... is it really you?” Sheila looked at Claude and reached out to touch his face, reaching half the way back.

Claude reached out and grabbed her hand and put it on her face: “It's me, Sheila, I'm still your Claude..."

Sheila rubbed Claude's face with her palm and muttered, “Claude, you've changed and I can barely recognize you..."

Claude's tears were about to fall. He clamped Sheila's hand with his own hands and cheeks. Haven't seen him in over a decade. He's changed from the Green Captain officer who was in love with Sheila to a powerful general in charge. How could he not? Born to death on the battlefield, the sandbox sway, has long transformed him into an iron bloodline handsome, my men's eyes often victorious general, no longer have the innocence when they met...

Needless to say, even though Claude is still the youngest general in the military region, under the age of forty, he has deliberately left two mustaches on his lips in order to maintain his dignity in front of his hands, making himself look older and more stable. If it hadn't been for her eyebrows, Sheila might not have recognized Claude as her first lover.

“Don't talk first, I made you egg congee, fill your stomach first, then I'll change your meds, you take care of your injuries, we'll have plenty of time later, we'll talk slowly..." Claude lovingly put Sheila's hand back by the pillow and get up in the kitchen in the special box to serve his long-heated oatmeal egg congee.

Sheila was fed porridge first, then replaced with medicine and bandages to help her clean the dirt off her body. Sheila, who had been tortured for half a day, was in a coma again, except that she slept so deeply that she grabbed Claude's hand, and Claude simply lay down on her bed holding Sheila's hand and fell asleep.

When Sheila woke up around 2: 00 in the morning, she let go of Claude's hand. Claude fed her another bowl of egg congee, took her to the little bathroom for a while, and took her to bed. And Sheila's spirit is good, and Claude wants him to tell us about his experiences over the years. Claude gave a brief account of his experience, which was nothing more than an entire armament battle, defeating the enemy, and continuing the whole armament battle...

Sheila, this is the sudden realization: “No wonder I never found your whereabouts. It turns out you've been assigned here to fight a war for over a decade..."

“Hmm? You wanted to see me? No, it should be easy to find. This colonial war between us and the Kingdom of Hicks has attracted the attention of many countries, whether it's the countries of the Farea continent or the colonies of the West Coast. There are a lot of newspapers covering this war, and my name is often published in newspapers, and I can tell from a glance that I am in an overseas autonomous territory.” Claude was bored.

“I'm sorry, Claude, I always thought the newspaper said that General Field was just your last name. I had no idea it was you. And your last name was published in the newspaper, without mentioning your name. In addition, the newspaper said that the two regiments under the Overseas Administration fighting against the Kingdom of Hicks were local second-line regiments, and you said in your letter that you had joined the Ranger Corps and were a close guard of King Sterling's division..."

Sheila's answer made Claude understand, and indeed, all newspapers, even if they mention the generals of both sides of the colonial war, will call themselves names in honor. In the military region, people who know Claude will call him General Claude or His Excellency Claude for intimacy. But in order to avoid controversy, the newspapers were based on surnames, and Claude became General Fields, and the unfamiliar wouldn't know that General Fields was referring to Claude.

“But I wrote so many letters to you in those two years, and you didn't answer any of them...”

“I only received three letters...” Sheila complained: "At first I resented you for leaving so simply that I didn't want to ignore you anymore. But it's been two years since I received your third letter, which says you joined Wang Du's Rangers, and I can't answer it. Because the old village chief is dead, Squirrel Village is gone, Vietnam Road is gone, I wanted to buy some household goods for days to go to the town outside to buy..."

“Why is Squirrel Village gone? How did the old mayor die?” Claude was strange.

Sheila told Claude that in the year following Claude's departure, it seemed that the war was over and that the guards stationed in Squirrel Village were to be evacuated back to the kingdom itself. Then a new team of people arrived, who were also stationed in Squirrel Village, to set up checkpoints across the mountain to collect tolls. The new captain was greedy and forced the old village chief to give him half of the village's shares, eating in the pub every day for nothing.

So the business of the tavern fell apart, and the captain blamed the old village chief for not wanting to run the tavern, forcing them to sell the shares of the tavern back to the old village chief, extorting all his savings from the old village chief as soon as he entered and left without spending a penny. Then he continued to stay in the tavern, eating and drinking for nothing and making debts, eventually forcing the tavern to close down.

Without the tavern, the big captain took up the idea of mountain goods in the hands of the villagers, using the level set up by his men on the fall of the mountain, and forbid the mountain people to sell mountain goods outside, only he can send people to buy mountain goods in the hands of the mountain people at a very low price, which can explain the robbery, eventually making it impossible for the mountain people to live in the mountains and relocate far away from the mountain crossing, that's when the old village chief was pissed off.

After the death of the old village chief, the villagers of Squirrel Village also left the family. At the end of the day, Squirrel Village was deserted. After being abandoned, the squad could no longer stay in Squirrel Village. After another month, it was withdrawn. The entire mountain crossing was abandoned into a deserted area...

So Sheila never received a letter from Claude, who stayed in the mountains and rarely went out, often going out for a year or two to buy some essential necessities. It takes days to get out of the mountains, even with magic, from hidden places in the mountains. Under the circumstances, Sheila couldn't write back to Claude.

Sheila has been hiding in the mountain forest for seven years, making herself a five-ring natural magician, practicing all the spells left to her by her mother, and the Enlightenment of the Black Wolf Wind has evolved, adding a morphological change that can change into a three-month-old puppy, finally allowing Sheila to show up in the town without having to worry about the black wind like a giant wolf scaring others.

Sheila decided to go out of the mountains, and her first decision was to go to the King to find Claude. It's just that when she got to Wang Du, she couldn't even get word of Claude. Speaking of the Rangers, everyone who heard looked at her with pity, sighing that the Rangers' trash had harmed a simple good girl.

Sheila finally heard the truth. Turns out the Rangers had a terrible wind rating in Wangdu. It was a rallying place for the children outside the Royal Sterling family. They never trained or had any discipline. In Wangdu people hated ghosts, big things didn't last long. Everyday evil happens to the ordinary people of Wangdu.

Sheila went directly to the Rangers' quarters. Several of the royal peripheral brothers deceived her into the interior when they saw her beauty. She wanted to be strong. As a result, it was self-evident that all the weak chickens were hit by Sheila. In order to preserve their fifth limb in the blood basin of the black wind, they almost turned the Rangers' division into the sky and placed all personnel files in front of Sheila, confirming that none of the Rangers had a captain or major officer from a civilian named Claude...

These newly-joined royal outcasts did not know the predecessors of the Ranger Corps, Claude was speechless, counting the time when Sheila came out of the mountains, Claude had become the chief commander of the battlefield overseas, the head of the newly formed Thunder Division, Major General of the Kingdom. The two missed each other, and if Sheila had met someone in the King who knew the history of the Rangers, she would have known Claude was overseas.

Sheila, who couldn't find Claude, decided to go to the west coast of the Nubian mainland, where her mother and other magicians went to explore the ruins. She suffered a lot and eventually arrived on the west coast. With the help of a wild magician, she finally found her mother's whereabouts for almost three years. She also found the magical relic, although her mother had died.

Sheila, who had lost her loved one, decided to return to her hiding place on the Farea mainland, except that when she arrived at the port of Florrick in the newly occupied territory, she happened to encounter Prince Hansburg leading his forces to withdraw from the White Deer City on the mainland of the Kingdom. When Sheila remembered that Claude had said that the great prince valued and promoted him, she went to see the great prince with hope and wanted to get Claude's whereabouts from the great prince. Because she was a beautiful woman, it was easy to meet the great prince.

God knows what the Great Prince thought at the time, maybe because of the defeat, maybe out of resentment against the five generals in the Overseas Territories who betrayed him. He doesn't know that Sheila is a magician, but he thinks of her as a beautiful woman who has been waiting for a long time for her to come back and think of her as something he can vent, which makes him make the biggest mistake of his life.

The Great Prince did not tell Sheila Claude there, but cursed Claude and others in front of her, betrayed his trust and became the rebellion of the kingdom, and one day he would lead the army to wipe out Claude, the rebels, and so on...

As a result of drinking, the great prince began to manipulate Sheila. After three years of adventure, Sheila has long been a decisive sorceress, flying a magical arrow through a hole in the Big Prince's head, then picking up the Big Prince on the table and running away with this beautiful revolver gift box...
