The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# High winds (2)

The clan has always been a royal duty. The king of Spain wanted to fulfill his duty by encouraging Independent troop officers. Soldiers gained strength for the king's support of marching back and forth. As the little king passed by waving his short tail, few smiled.

At least for the first hour.

Half of the procession was uphill; it only continued to rise over nine miles (about 14km). Sometimes a long slope approaching 50 degrees drastically depleted the soldiers' stamina. I want to sit down right now. I want to roll to the side of the road pretending to be a mistake. I feel like I've been walking for a long time, but is the next break yet...? The king's cuteness did not help those who were filled with thoughts like this.

And after two hours, the king himself grew exhausted.

The king who had been on the run for a long time did not have good joint health. It was also an affliction of the Dacshund variety. Moreover, after repeated round-trip round-trips of 600 meters along the winter, practically many times longer range than regular soldiers.

Eventually, winter hugged the king.

An officer captain weighs more than average. to carry more than 10 kilograms of dog there, and to briefly carry the weary soldier's captain instead. The soldiers who watch the winter try to hold on to themselves one more time.

‘It's... harder than I expected. ’

In addition to gaining the soldiers' trust, winter was determined to check the physical limitations at this point. We don't know what will happen after Zero Ground falls. I wanted to know how much weight I could carry in rugged mountain terrain and how easily I could see it. Although not systemic, experience as knowledge aids in the action of insight.

Fortunately, I'm used to enduring pain.

As the fountain snow hit the wind mixed like powder, the drops of sweat felt hot.

Hnng, Hnng.

The king of Spain dug into the winter embrace. A dog with a lot of cold. Even though he put on his hat and put on his big shoes, he is still making the sound of suffering from the aftermath of a hard hike. It looks like you need to give more body temperature until your health is restored for some time.

“Commander.”

At the sound of the call, Yura stretches out his arms to the winter.

“Give it to me. I'll carry it. ”

Winter shifts between weary Yura and sleepy dog and shakes his head.

“It's okay. It's not that heavy. ”

“But give it to me. I'm the one who asked you to bring him. I'm responsible. ”

“If I wasn't a lieutenant, I would have brought him. He said he was in a commotion. ”

“ ……. ”

The word Yura disappeared. The dewy sweat drips down your chin.

A dog with abandoned experience didn't like to leave himself anywhere. Whoever he is, he must have at least one face to remain calm. The National Guard soldier who served as the king of Spain during the previous march was troubled by how much the king cried.

Yura seemed to have more sympathy than compassion there.

Beyond that, when she also recommended Yura to the proposal she had made to Jin, i.e. demobilisation to another unit, she was almost angry and resolutely refused. If we live together or die together, we will die together. Eventually, winter couldn't break her resolve.

‘Captain Park and this lieutenant. I was hoping one of you would take it. ’

It's a shame.

Meanwhile, among the former Independent squadron officers, 3rd platoon commander Seonwoo Joseph and 4th platoon commander Cheonsoon chose to demobilise without hesitation. It's not just because I'm scared. Both of them were strongly resentful of the commander and the commander, and were motivated enough to want to move to another unit even if they were not afraid of maneuvering operations.

One of the people who filled in the vacancy was lieutenant Kang Seung Yeon. His former rank was higher than it is now, but there seemed to be no major complaints about his dream U.S. military status, citizenship, and his admission to the prestigious Winter Independence.

Winter said.

“I don't intend to force them away, human or animal. I'll go with you if you want. ”

“Is that so……. ”

“Yes. So don't fall off. ”

“Yes, sir. I'll try not to be a bother. ”

At the end of the long run of mediocre words, Yura smiles faintly as she struggles.

The Independence Battalion took a third break at the junction of Mount Mosquito. It was an approximate halfway point in the march route and a break that would be a little longer shortly after the last hurdle. Soldiers who take off their boots and socks and barefoot sigh first. The only way down is almost down. With trembling legs and flayed feet, it's not easy to climb down the slope.

Winter took a breath leaning against the sign set up by the U.S. Forest Service. An old sign filled with graffiti from the touched climbers revealed its current location to be 13,185 feet above sea level. The sign was shaped like a wagon because it was once a road that carried gold. Evidence of that, on the other side of the wasteland, remains the ruins of the old mine. Halfway through the collapse, a wooden building looked like a record of the last monsoon. The winter when I saw it fell into a vivid sensation.

‘The ruins seem strange now. ’

The far-off apocalypse is a new feeling.

If we find the prototype of the plague in the Zero Ground and eventually produce a vaccine, the remaining areas of humanity would be completely free of the sudden threat of infection explosion. That's when the possibility of the end will converge to zero unlimited.

On the other hand, even at the source of the infection, there is a possibility that the prototype of the plague will not be found. No matter how the prototype of the plague is stored, it will not be permanent.

The more I chewed, the more cruel my condition was. Not only do we need a healthy country to continue our research, but we need to drill through numerous variants and find the prototype, and it takes time.

There may not be anyone known to have ended the Apocalypse.

Al!

Daxhund takes his breath away from his winter arms. Winter brought Dog Jerky, which I kept aside, to Dacshunt's mouth. The excited dog flies left and right with its tail slammed. Then he lunges between the cooling officers and the soldiers. However, since no one could afford to play with the dog, the slow tail waving dog approached Yura, avoiding the annoying expression. Yura is the kindest to the king of Spain. After examining the condition of the platoon members, Yura was just lying down, but when she licked her cheeks, she raised her torso hard.

Daxon touches Yura's cistern with his nose.

“Do you want some water? ”

Yura folds one hand and follows the water. However, the dog jumped out of excitement and hit Yura's other hand. It was the one holding the barrel.

“Ah……. ”

The water spills out. Yura hardens like an anvil. As he tried to build a fallen cistern, Daxhund realized something was wrong and instinctively ran away. Dogs think they're headed for the only place in the pack with a higher rank than Yura, winter.

Yura gets angry late at a beating.

“Pneum-eh-ah-ah!”

The dog that heard the slow roar hides behind the bridge of winter. You must be really scared to see the hair on your head with your tail down. Winter broke out in this faraway country play.

Yura's cistern is refilled with extra water from the ambulance.

Winter did not sit still while resting. I watched the soldiers' feet with First Aid. The soldiers in very bad condition were checked by the medics, but even though it was relatively long, it was only a 20-minute rest. I can't see all of the 500 soldiers. Soldiers often fail to take care of themselves. You are skilled, too, and it was because you had no time to be delicate with your stamina. So the more hands I had to help, the better.

Corporal Bravo, the Chinese soldier who was forced into winter's hands, had no idea what to do.

“Thank you, big man. ”

“Big?”

“Oh, I made a mistake. Sir."

The Chinese and English names were mixed up in a mess. It was a nervous mistake.

Leaving the nationality, the reaction of other soldiers was generally similar. Winter reassured them with a gentle smile. Conflicts with nationalities remained with every squadron, but one winter had to win the hearts of all the squadron members. That way you can reduce your worthless losses in action.

First platoon commander Bravo, Wangachai said.

“It's like seeing President Mao at the time of the blacksmith. ”

The winter that took care of his feet stopped. Named after Mo Chok-dong's smith, he recalled the sub, Jang Jeong 9. Nine, who was the target of Operation Fair Strike, was eventually attacked by the March of the Umehara Arts Strait, but was already after Yang Yong-bin's nuclear attack. Otherwise, Lt. Umehara would have been treated as an American hero.

It would be a subtle thing to say if someone from another country did, but it is a compliment beyond what Wang Keqiang said. Winter answered boldly, disinfecting the place where the blood was washed.

“Compared to the historical figure, I don't know what to say. ”

“You are already a great historic man. Rather, more people will remember your name than President Mao. ”

“Well…. ”

“Thank you for your help. Without you, no one would have helped us. They must have died from the madness of lovers like Yang Yong-bin and Sierra. ”

“ ……. ”

Among Chinese citizens and refugees, Yang Yong-bin and Sierru's names were written in profanity. In the past, there were no factions that were clearly positive for Yang Yong-bin, but Sierra's testimony in court changed the minds of the crowd as well. Because in his statement, they are merely tools when consumed. Lost was Yang Yong-bin's strategy.

“That's it. Let's move. ”

After wrapping a pressure bandage around the wound, you make sure the movement is comfortable, and after finishing the procedure, the winter wipes your hands and stands up. Daxhund, sniffing and sniffing, sniffing the feet of Wangachi, jumps up and down. Wanger Tsai looked up at the winter.

“I will repay you for your faith in this mission. ”

“I look forward to it.”

Winter knocked him on the shoulder as his boss.

At the end of his break, he could see the Russian air force marching towards him from a distance. They were supposed to leave an hour later than the Independence Battalion according to their training plan, but the remaining interval was about 30 minutes. It was a battle between Russian and American officers that was more than healthy.

General Cole Rogers, who was reunited as a joint task force commander in Zero Ground Vacuum, notices quite a headache in the matter.

After relaxing, the Independent Battalion has never stopped and has gone straight to its destination, Alma.

Residence was formed in the 3,158 metres (11,500 ft) of the ridge, due to the nearby outdoor mine. Gold no longer comes out, but carbonates containing other metals are still produced in large quantities. In the United States, where most resources have to be self-sufficient, many investments are being made in the town's mines.

The Independence Battalion has completed a maneuver in the clearing next to the mine. The time to march increased rather than before, but the number of stragglers decreased impressively. Winter has agreed to be pleased with this. In the field, it was more likely that one of the missing persons would soon be a missing person.

However, it was frustrating to see Jinsuk.

Winter approaches the soldiers and quietly calls out to them, but then you change your mind. It felt like too much interference with the commander's authority. If you want to watch a little and feel bad, then say it separately, it won't be too late. Jinsuk rarely places his hands on either side of his waist in front of the standing soldiers.

“I'm disappointed in you! ”

It wasn't the voice of authenticity.

“ ……? ”

Jin, who was just about to be disappointed, turns his eyes and finds the person who just raised his voice.

The disappointed person was the new 3rd platoon commander, lieutenant Kang Seon-yeon.

The Soldiers should be ashamed, referring to the prestige of the Independent Battalion and the expectations of Winter's commander, Lt. Gen. Kang said. The reputation of a war hero and a winter commander should not be compromised.

“ ……. ”

The look on his face was strange.

Lieutenant Kang was from military school. During his time in the ROK military, he was a lieutenant and served as a temporary commander on behalf of a deceased boss.

That's why the former Independent squad and current Alpha squadrons complained that aid had appeared. There was also a whisper that there were more rivals of Jin Jin.

Winter approached Warden Rogers, who was meeting with the Chief of Staff.

“Well done.”

After winter, the warden examined the condition of the arriving troops with constant dryness.

“Not yet. ”

A concise assessment. Winter nods.

“That's right.”

“Will we be able to power it as planned? ”

“I'll make it possible. ”

“I believe you.”

The rear-ended warden slowly walked between the loose columns. The chief of staff and winter followed. Soldiers are nervous about the appearance of the stars, but the general never speaks to them directly.

Soldiers are given a warm tea as instructed by the chiefs.

Since there are no camps in the town, the battalion was supposed to return with the Air Force waiting for transport vehicles. Looking at the mountain passage coming down through the telescope, General Rogers asked a thoughtless question.

“You. Do you like vodka? ”

“…… Yes? ”

In front of the embarrassed winter revolt, the general repeated the same words without expression.

“Vodka, do you like it? ”
